Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

"Xia Lian is right. I'll upgrade the security department and equip them with hunting dogs and electric batons. Guns are no longer allowed. The firepower is far behind."

"Well, it's okay if you know the situation, but don't make people panic. Raise the salaries of the security department. If you want people to fight to the death, they must be motivated to do so."

Li Shaoling made improvements one by one. The factory was able to develop so fast thanks to the large amount of capital injection from Liu Xialian, as well as the delegation of power and the fact that Liu Xialian never interfered in production and operations.

It took Li Shaoling less than a year to go from a cart driver to the head of a feed factory. During this year, he visited several provinces and cities in the south and hundreds of pig farms. Five years later, Shunxin Feed has finally grown into a large and well-known feed company.

"Xia Lian, I am considering setting up a branch factory in Pengcheng in the second half of the year. Currently, 70% of the feed is sold to Guangdong. Although the atmosphere in the south is better than that in the north, there is still local protection. The branch factory will mainly be for sales, so that when customers in the south see that the feed is produced in the south, they will be more likely to accept it mentally."

"You can decide on the specific production. Pengcheng still has advantages. Southerners eat a lot of meat, unlike northerners who only eat meat once during festivals. You can open a few farms in a remote place so that customers can see the results more directly. Also, you must ensure the safety of the feed and never add unreasonable additives."

"Don't worry. A few days ago, someone came to sell clenbuterol and I kicked him out. You can't add that stuff to feed. It harms people."

The mainstream feeds now are pig feed, laying hen feed, broiler feed, and quail feed. They all follow the route of small profits but quick turnover, with very low profits, less than 10% net profit, and all rely on volume.

Li Shaoling also invited people from the sales department. Manager Shao from the sales department is from Hunan. Although he only graduated from a technical secondary school, he is quite knowledgeable.

"That's the thing about conventional feed. Ten percent net profit is the limit, and it's hard to get any higher. I suggest we develop some dog food, cat food, and the like."

Li Shaoling looked surprised: "You mean food for dogs and cats? Is there really anyone willing to spend money to buy cat food and dog food?"

"Yes, especially overseas. We can export to South Korea and other countries. The profit is as high as 200% or even higher. That means selling one ton of cat and dog food can equal ten tons of regular feed."

Liu Xialian agreed: "Your idea is very good. Pet food is a good way to go. We can arrange research and development. With the improvement of living standards, the number of cats and dogs in cities is increasing. As companion animals, many families do not treat cats and dogs as pets, but as sons and daughters."

Li Shaoling thought about it and felt relieved. Just like himself, he loved horse carriages, so even if he had no food to eat, he would buy a good bridle for the horse. If you pay for your hobby, no matter how expensive it is, it doesn't seem expensive.

"Manager Shao, please do some market research and buy some cat and dog food from Hong Kong and the south. Let's analyze the ingredients, try making some, and then slowly improve it."

"Okay, Director. I'll make the arrangements."

There is a sand table map in Li Shaoling’s office. All provinces with dealers are marked, but there are still many blank areas.

"Xia Lian, what do you think of Sichuan? How is the market?"

"Sichuan is definitely a good choice, but the land transportation cost is too high. We can do it when we open a branch in the future, but if we rely on land transportation now, don't even think about it. Feed is heavy goods and the profit is low. Let's go, it's time for dinner, let's go eat. Li Hu is here today, and Zhao Dashan is here for a commercial performance, let's have dinner together."

The restaurant in Liancheng is called Wanghailou Seafood. It is not far from the beach. The three-story building offers a view of the sea. It is about 1,000 square meters and is managed by Li Hu.

Daya drove the car, taking Liu Xia Lian and Li Shaoling, and the three of them came to Wanghai Tower.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a huge cylindrical fish tank more than six meters high, with seven groupers weighing fifty to six kilograms swimming back and forth. The receptionist directly connected me to the 306th room. Li Hu was already waiting here. When he saw someone coming, he quickly stood up to greet him.

"Sister Xia Lian, Master, Daya, you are here."

"Well, Li Hu has gained weight, how is it these days?"

"Now that the weather is getting warmer, three small boats are fishing. The daily output is huge, about 50 tons a day. The drying room is running non-stop, and the small fish are dried and smell delicious. They will be processed into fish meal later, which is very nutritious."

Li Shaoling was very surprised: "Is fishing so fierce? One boat can catch more than ten tons a day, that's amazing."

Li Hu shook his head. "Fifty tons is not the output of the ship, but the output of the drying room. If the output of the drying room is increased, the output of small fish can be higher. But Master, you may have misunderstood. The fish news of this kind of small fish is very short every year. It is not always like this, that is, from March to June. Fish meal and shell meal are by-products for us, but I didn't expect the demand to be so great."

They were chatting happily when Zhao Dashan, Chef Fan and Xie Ersao came in one after another.

Liu Xialian and others quickly stood up to greet him: "Brother Zhao, it's been a while since we last met. Come on, come and sit down."

"Brother Fan, Sister Xie, please sit down, please sit down."

Mrs. Xie was a little embarrassed, but it was nothing, there was no conflict, it was just a normal resignation that year.

Liu Xia Lian introduced Li Hu, Li Shaoling and Daya one by one, and everyone got to know each other.

The waiter served the dishes, lobster, grouper, and swimming crab, all very fresh and delicious. We drank a little wine and chatted with each other about topics of interest.

Liu Xia Lian saw that Zhao Dashan was looking a little haggard and it seemed that he had encountered some problems. "Brother Zhao, is there something wrong with you? Why do you look so thin?"

"Alas, before the Lunar New Year, I was defrauded of more than one million yuan in order to appear on the Spring Festival Gala. Suddenly, I lost everything and almost had to leave the team. Later, when I was doing coal business, someone seized my car again and has not released it to me yet."

"Where was it deducted and why?"

"It was in Liancheng. They pulled too many trucks and it was overloaded. They asked for too much money and I didn't have the money to redeem it."

"There is no coal truck that is not overloaded, but Brother Zhao must abandon greed, be responsible to the driver and the passers-by, and only double the load, but not too much."

"What the sister taught me is that it was all my fault for not being able to manage well. This is also a profound lesson."

"Okay, I'll call them and ask them to release the car. Don't exceed the limit next time. It will be difficult for others to handle if you exceed the limit."

"Don't worry, I promise I won't embarrass anyone. Thank you so much."

"The Zhao family has to continue to perform. We can't just stop now. Do you need money? I can lend you some."

Zhao Dashan knew that Liu Xia Lian was rich and had known her for several years, but it was difficult to borrow money from her and he could never bring himself to ask.

"Xia Lian, I'm on a downward slope. Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay you back if you lend me money?"

"What are you talking about, Brother Zhao? All my friends are real friends, and they are all very loyal. I only help when the time is right, not add icing on the cake. You decide how much it will cost."
