Chapter 62 A Business
International Financial City.
Jinhe Peninsula Garden Restaurant.
In the private room, Mr. Du had arrived early and ordered the dishes.
The other party sent a secretary to bring Jiang Miao and others up.
After entering the private room, President Du immediately greeted everyone with a smile: "Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, let's sit down first. I have already ordered the dishes."
After Jiang Miao sat down, he got straight to the point: "Boss Du, what business do you want to take care of me?"
"Ah! Actually, this is a big worry for me. It's a long story..." Mr. Du quickly expressed his thoughts: "In 18, I saw that the market was good, so I invested in a feed factory. On the one hand, it was convenient to provide feed for my own farm, and I also thought I could make some money by the way."
Jiang Miao suddenly realized, and then asked: "Isn't that great?"
"But the market situation in the past few years was too severe. My feed factory was just put into production in 19 and has been in a semi-operational state ever since. In addition, the cost of feed raw materials has risen in the past two years. If the price of the fish feed I produce is too high, no one will want it; if the price is too low, I can't make a profit. It's too difficult for me." Mr. Du complained bitterly.
"Mr. Du, are you planning to sell the feed factory to me?"
President Du nodded quickly. "Yes, Brother Jiang, I won't lie to you. I have used those devices for less than two years since I bought them. Moreover, I have arranged for professionals to maintain them every year. They are almost as good as new. The whole set only costs 500 million. How about it? Are you interested in buying it?"
"What's the annual output?" Jiang Miao took a sip of tea.
"If it is fully loaded, 40TPH, the annual output will be around 10 to 20 tons."
40TPH means 40 tons per hour.
The price was indeed acceptable, but Jiang Miao did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "Is the production line fully equipped?"
"Don't worry, this production line is fully equipped. Akang, show our equipment to President Jiang." President Du turned around and instructed another secretary.
Secretary A Kang quickly turned the laptop screen around and said, "Boss Jiang, this is the equipment in our company. You can take a look. If you want a live video or something, I can also arrange for someone to shoot it on site."
"You arrange it!" Jiang Miao looked at the equipment list on the laptop screen, as well as some detailed quantities, specifications, etc.
Raw material receiving: floor scale, two independent pulse dust collectors (20TPH).
Raw material cleaning: conveyor, feeder, drum primary screen, independent pulse dust collector, permanent magnet drum.
Raw material crushing: water drop type crusher, independent pulse dust collector.
Batching and mixing: batching system, rotary distributor, single shaft paddle mixer, ribbon paddle mixer.
Granulating system: steam boiler, conditioner, aquatic product extruder, granulator, dryer, liquid spraying system.
Cooling system: counter-flow cooler.
The remaining systems are: three-roller double-roll crusher, rotary grading screen, quantitative packaging scale, sealing machine, and automatic control system.
After looking at the list of these equipment, Jiang Miao raised his head and asked, "Boss Du, don't you have any exhaust gas purification equipment?"
"Huh?" President Du was confused for a moment and quickly turned to look at his secretary A Kang.
A Kang reacted quickly and replied immediately: "Boss Jiang, our production line is indeed not equipped with exhaust gas purification equipment. The main reason is that our factory is in the suburbs and there are no residential areas within one kilometer around it."
Jiang Miao smiled but he knew in his heart that the other party probably did not want to buy the exhaust gas purification equipment.
"If it's really as President Du said, 500 million is indeed acceptable, but after all, I haven't seen it in person. How about this! I'll arrange for someone from my company to inspect it. If there are no major problems, then I'm very willing to cooperate with President Du."
President Du nodded and said, "I'll ask my secretary to cooperate. Akang, please leave your contact information for President Jiang."
Jiang Miao also turned around and instructed Li Zixuan.
The secretaries of both parties completed the exchange of contact information.
Although the contract was not signed immediately, President Du was still smiling. After all, this kind of thing is very normal in business negotiations. Even if the two parties have a good relationship, they will not agree to buy these second-hand production lines without inspecting the equipment conditions.
What's more, he and Jiang Miao were just acquaintances, so it was very good if they could reach an agreement.
Not a moment.
Two waiters came in pushing a food cart.
Seeing the dishes on the table, President Du said apologetically, "Brother Jiang, I'm hosting you today, so I'd rather have a couple of drinks. But we have a symposium this afternoon, so we can only have tea instead of wine."
"You're welcome. I don't drink." Jiang Miao smiled and shook his head.
"I see, it's better not to drink!" Mr. Du immediately changed his tune: "Brother has been attending social events every now and then in recent years, and he often has to drink. Now his health is not as good as before."
Jiang Miao took a look and found that Mr. Du was quite interesting because he was in very good health and even had eight-pack abs. He was obviously a veteran who exercised regularly.
"Boss Du has such a muscular body that I am ashamed of myself!"
"Hahaha, this is a good habit I developed when I was in the army." Mr. Du is still very proud of his figure.
Jiang Miao smiled and picked up a piece of boiled chicken: "My driver Ayong is also a veteran, but he should not be in the same unit as President Du."
"Oh? So you're also a veteran. Which unit are you from?"
Ke Yong replied calmly: "I am from the 76th Army Group."
"My unit is the 41st Group Army. It was my father who asked me to go there. He even fought monkeys there. So I had no chance." Mr. Du smiled and shook his head.
"The old man should be over 60 this year, right?" Jiang Miao asked, and picked up another piece of grouper meat for Shuya.
"Yes! I'm sixty-eight this year."
"With President Du here, the old man can enjoy his life."
Mr. Du picked up a piece of fish and said helplessly: "Don't mention it, the old man is too stubborn. He still lives in the countryside of his hometown and grows some vegetables by himself, but he is still in good health."
"The countryside is not bad either, the air is good! Growing vegetables is like exercising, as long as you don't get too tired. My father used to farm and sell vegetables, and now he grows some at his doorstep when he has nothing to do. All old people do that."
Mr. Du felt the same way: "Yes! All old people are like this. Come on, don't be polite. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
After some gossip, the two sides became more familiar with each other.
Mr. Du’s hometown is Jiangmen. He runs a large aquaculture company, mainly engaged in the breeding of shrimp, grouper and oysters.
"Your Hailufeng oysters are really good! Chenzhou oysters are a famous specialty of Lingnan!"
"The oysters there are really good. Chenzhou is in the town next to my hometown. If Mr. Du comes to Hailufeng as a guest, I will definitely invite you to try Chenzhou oysters and our company's specialty, the soil-free eel."
"Eel without soil?" Mr. Du was stunned for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Brother Jiang, the eel without soil that is popular online, could it be from your company?"
Jiang Miao explained casually: "Yes, it is produced by our company. It is made from the spawning eels that are eliminated. We have a special formula that can remove the earthy smell of eels during the breeding process."
"Brother Jiang is really a hidden talent! I'm envious of you."
The two sides chatted and laughed about all sorts of things, and before they knew it, the table was mostly empty.
It was almost two o'clock.
Jiang Miao suggested, "Boss Du, it's almost time, don't be late. We've almost finished eating, why don't we go together?"
"Alright."
Soon, the group left the International Financial City and drove to the Ocean College again.
