These two companies are both Fortune 500 companies. Considering the size of the domestic stock market, it is no wonder that they have stopped talking about listing such a large company. Could it be that they only issue 1% of the shares? Even so, it is estimated that they will not be able to raise funds. together.
The comrade who spoke was immediately embarrassed and speechless, while the others did not have the expressions of watching a show. They all fell into meditation seriously, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
Finally, the big leader stood up and spoke. He said: "It seems that it is impossible for Mr. Zhao's company to be listed. What Mr. Zhao said is true. So, does Mr. Zhao plan to invest in the stock market?"
It was hard for Zhao Yi to refuse this. Besides, the money invested in the stock market was not a big amount of money. It was only tens of millions. It was too big and it is estimated that the Chinese stock market would not be able to bear it and a large number of bubbles would occur.
Just like in the previous life, there was a drumbeat, and the price rose hundreds or thousands of times, attracting investors to rush in. As a result, the person who finally took over lost all his money.
"At that time, I will let my investment companies invest appropriately. You also know that our country's stock market cannot bear too much capital when it is new. If we want the stock market to truly prosper, we need further development of the domestic economy so that people have enough money. That’s all.” Zhao Yi said.
This can be regarded as a step down for both parties, and this issue will no longer be raised in the future. The meeting was finally concluded in a lively manner.
After returning home, Zhao Yi called Jinghe Investment Company and asked them to spend 10 million to invest in the stock market, which was regarded as fulfilling the promise made at the meeting.
After that, Zhao Yi didn't pay much attention to this aspect. After all, if you want to make big money in the Chinese stock market, you still have to wait for a long time.
The next day Zhao Yi started preparing to inspect Baiwei Food Company.
Baiwei Food Company has been established for a year. During this year, Zhao Yi has not paid any attention to it except for providing some planning and technical support when it was first founded.
Now that the New Year is approaching, it is also time for Zhao Yi to understand the specific operating conditions of Baiwei Food Company over the past year to see if it is developing according to the original plan. At the same time, it is also time to express that he attaches great importance to this company.
The food industry is a huge category, and it is unrealistic to cover all of it, at least in the short term.
So at first, Baiwei Food Company only chose a few directions to work on. When the business stabilized, it would plan for breakthroughs in other directions.
Before getting on the plane, Zhao Yi called Hao Simin and told her that he would fly to the food company headquarters to inspect the food company headquarters immediately so that she could be prepared.
Zhao Yi didn't plan to conduct any private visits or surprise inspections. There was no need for that. If he really wanted to know something, there would be many ways, and going there in such a mysterious way would make his subordinates think that he didn't trust them.
When Zhao Yi arrived in Shenzhen, Hao Simin was already waiting to be picked up at the airport. Zhao Yi did not blame him for this, but emphasized that he only needed to arrange for a driver to come over in the future, and there was no need to come to pick him up in person.
The headquarters of Baiwei Food Company occupies a small area, and the number of employees in the headquarters is not particularly large. There are only more than 200 people, most of whom are normal functional departments. The production department, which accounts for the majority of the company's headcount, is distributed throughout the country.
Hao Simin took Zhao Yi around the company headquarters, mainly to see the mental outlook of the company's employees. After Zhao Yi saw it, he thought it was pretty good and didn't look like they were pretending.
Then he returned to Hao Simin's office and sat down. Hao Simin said: "It has been a year since the company was founded. This is the first time that Mr. Zhao has come here. We thought we were not taken seriously."
After Zhao Yi heard this, he smiled and said: "Isn't this my trust in your ability? Besides, I am not idle all the time. I also have a lot of things on my hands. I will come over to your place to see you when I have time. Well."
Hao Simin just complained, and after hearing what Zhao Yi said, he no longer dwelled too much on this issue.
She continued: "I'd better report on the company's operations this year."
Zhao nodded, as it should be.
Seeing Zhao nodded, Hao Simin opened a document and said: "Our company now has 300 factories of various types across the country. The main construction locations are fruit production areas and sugar raw material production areas, and we have 1 million employees."
Hearing this, Zhao Yi was slightly surprised. Not only did the number of factories exceed his original expectations, but also the number of employees. Based on this calculation, the average number of employees in a factory reached more than 3,300.
This number of people seems small, but in fact it is already a lot. You must know that the production technology provided by Zhao Yi has a relatively high degree of automation and rarely requires the use of manual labor on a large scale.
According to the current traditional production model, the production efficiency of one employee in the Baiwei Food Factory can be as high as that of more than ten people in other factories. Putting this into perspective, you know how terrifying the scale of these 1 million people is.
Zhao Yi is actually not willing to build such highly automated equipment, but the profit in the food industry is very low. If there are too many employees, it means that employee wages must be reduced, which Zhao Yi is not willing to do.
Moreover, Baiwei Food Company is not only responsible for its own production part, but also responsible for cooperating with local farmers, providing financial and technical assistance, so that these farmers can provide them with stable and reliable agricultural raw materials.
The cost in this area is also very large, and in the end it needs to be calculated into the food price. If we still follow the traditional method, then the price of Baiwei Food's products will be much higher, and it may not necessarily make money.
“In this year, the number of farmers we have cooperated with has reached 10 million.
The number of farmers who have begun to provide us with raw materials for agricultural products has reached 6 million, while the crops of the remaining 4 million farmers are still in the cultivation stage, and it will take some time to provide us with stable agricultural products.
Since it has only been one year, our reputation has not yet been fully established. There are still many farmers who are in a wait-and-see attitude and need to work slowly in the future.
If the efficiency of our 300 factories is fully realized, about 40 million farmers will be needed to provide us with relevant agricultural raw materials, which means there is still a gap of more than 30 million.
But I believe this gap can be solved within the next year, because it took us more than half a year to find a production base, build a factory and install equipment.
Then there was the large-scale recruitment of employees and the search for cooperative farmers, which took a lot of time. It took less than three months for the actual production to start. In other words, it did not take long for the farmers who cooperated with us to get the money. Didn't take the lead.
After all the farmers who cooperate with us make money, they will have a good year and more farmers will definitely cooperate with us in the coming year. We are very confident about this. "Hao Simin said.
"Since our actual total output this year is not large, we only entrusted Shangtong Trading Company to help sell the products and did not expand product sales channels ourselves. When the product scale expands in the coming year, we plan to slowly expand sales channels.
The main channels of Shangtong Trading Company are abroad. Domestic channels are limited, especially those involving the vast farmers’ market, and their presence is very weak. Most of the channels in my country are currently located here. "
Zhao Yi nodded after hearing this. The domestic sales model is really different from the foreign sales model.
The first batch of trading companies only built 500 comprehensive shopping malls in the country. In 1984, the second batch of comprehensive shopping malls built was 1,000.
It looks like there are many, but in fact there are not many at all, and they are mainly distributed in major cities. Even the county level is not involved, let alone the vast rural market.
The sales in the food industry are different from the sales of some high-end products. Generally, sales are sold wherever there are many people, and the difference between customer groups is not particularly obvious.
As long as everyone needs to eat, as long as they eat, they need food. The rich have high-end food that rich people eat, and the poor have low-end food that poor people eat.
And Baiwei Food Company is not all high-end food. In the end, it is ordinary-grade food that accounts for the mainstream sales.
The sales channels currently established by trading companies in China are too high. If they only use this sales channel, the sales of food companies will indeed be affected to a certain extent.
“In 1984, our main food business was the processing of fruit products, the production and processing of candy products, the production of some puffed food products such as potato chips, and the processing of a small amount of fish products.
The total sales in these three months are 8 billion yuan, and there is currently no large product backlog. News from the trading company shows that our products are performing well in the market and have good user reviews.
Our construction costs this year were not low, with a total cost of 14 billion yuan, mainly including land purchase, factory construction, equipment purchase, employee wages, farmer support funds, agricultural product purchase, etc.
Among them, the proportion of land purchase and factory construction funds is not high, only about 3 billion yuan. This is due to the current cheap land prices and low construction workers.
The bulk of the investment is the purchase of equipment and support funds for farmers. Due to the high degree of automation of the equipment, the price of the production line is not cheap, costing 5 billion yuan.
In fact, the equipment purchase cost of 5 billion yuan is only the first phase of the plan. In the future, as the increase in agricultural raw materials and sales performance will increase, the purchase volume of equipment will also increase. The factories we are building now have a certain amount reserved.
The support funds for farmers are relatively complicated and cannot be completely counted as costs, because a considerable part of them are loans to farmers, and some are equity cooperation. The total cost of this part is about 1.5 billion.
What is left is employee salaries. The average employee salary is about 150 yuan per month, and the monthly salary is 150 million yuan. The cost for more than three months is about 500 million yuan.
The remaining 4 billion yuan is our purchase cost of agricultural products during this period. "
According to Hao Simin's report, in the past three months, 6 million farmers have shared a total of about 4 billion yuan in agricultural product purchase expenses. In other words, each family received an average of 666 yuan, an average of 222 yuan per month.
This data is pretty good. After deducting the planting costs, there is a monthly surplus of about 100 yuan, which is much higher than the return they get from growing food.
Regardless of other circumstances, at least Zhao Yi's wish to make the countryside prosperous has been partially realized. Grain is grown just for survival, and cash crops can be grown to get rich. (End of chapter)
