Chapter 185 Moving forward together
Before we knew it, it was the end of September.
Jiang Miao came to the new headquarters in Xiaonanshan, Xinxiang.
crackling...
Firecrackers went off.
Witnessed by all the guests, Jiang Miao completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony, then took the microphone and said, "I declare that the first phase of the Hailufeng Company headquarters project is officially put into use."
The guests and employees applauded with smiles on their faces.
clap clap clap...
The first phase of the Xiaonanshan headquarters project was completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival thanks to the overtime work of the engineering contracting company.
The first phase of the project covers an area of 100 mu and a construction area of 50 mu. The main building covers an area of 50 mu, is 88 meters high and has 21 floors, of which the 21st floor is a rooftop villa with 5 rooftop villas.
Although the main building is said to be a single building, it is actually composed of five subsidiary buildings. Each subsidiary building has a base area of 5 acres, which is a square area of 10 meters in width.
The five auxiliary buildings are arranged in a " " shape, and are connected to each other through overhead passages.
After exchanging a few words with the guests, Jiang Miao entered the headquarters building with Ke Yong, Li Zixuan and others.
Since Jiang Haibo went to the Gannan branch a few days ago to handle some matters, his brother-in-law represented Hailufeng Company to participate in the feed industry conference held in Beijing.
Among the company's executives, others were busy moving offices or preparing month-end summary reports, so Jiang Miao inspected the headquarters alone.
Walking into the central building of the headquarters, the first floor is a lobby with a height of 7 meters, where the front desk, 2 security rooms, 5 elevators, 2 emergency stairwells, as well as the company's product display area, the company's development history wall, and a bulletin board are arranged.
The decoration style is very simple, covered with imitation marble-patterned tiles, the ceiling is a suspended ceiling made of gypsum board, and there are simple round ceiling lamps.
The whole style is simple.
It’s not that Hailufeng Company does not have enough funds, but Jiang Miao specifically requested a simple style of decoration. In the decoration of the headquarters building, a large number of tiles and aluminum panels were used, and the door and window frames were mainly made of aluminum alloy, without any synthetic wood materials.
The decoration company recommended many door and window templates, including cardboard doors that cost only five or six hundred yuan each, and imitation wood doors that cost one or two thousand yuan each. However, none of these synthetic wood doors does not release formaldehyde and other harmful substances.
Jiang Miao asked the decoration company to complete the decoration of the headquarters building as soon as possible in order to move out of Nanhu Village where the office area was insufficient, but this did not mean that he did not pay attention to the problems in the decoration process.
In order to reduce formaldehyde and harmful gases in the new house, he refused all synthetic wood as decoration materials.
Including purchasing shelves, cabinets, office desks, etc., you can either choose iron shelves and cabinets, or iron frame solid wood office desks.
Since Jiang Miao did not believe in the so-called solid wood from those manufacturers, he asked the purchasing department to purchase a large amount of wood themselves and asked carpenters to make tabletops and some facilities. With centralized and large-scale purchasing, the price of solid wood was very cheap.
The front desk in the lobby on the first floor is made of a complete piece of golden nanmu wood with a length of more than ten meters. It was custom-made by a wood factory called "Lao Jiang Root Carving" and cost only tens of thousands of yuan.
As the face of a company, it must be made of good materials.
The desks in ordinary offices are made of large-diameter South American walnut as raw material.
Because a large number of environmentally friendly materials were used and no latex paint or synthetic wood was used, after half a month of ventilation and cleaning, Jiang Miao identified the panels and found that there was no excessive decoration pollution to the air, so he decided to officially open the new headquarters.
Jiang Miao took the elevator to his office on the 20th floor.
In addition to his own office, Jiang Haibo's office and secretariat are also on this floor.
Below are the Legal Department, Supervisory Department, Human Resources Department, Finance Department, Security Department, Market Research Department, Purchasing Department, Logistics Department, Attendance Department, Public Relations Department, and Share Management Department, plus some small departments that are not departments but must exist, such as the Environmental Protection Office, Charity Office, External Liaison Office, Team Building Office, Psychological Counseling Office, etc.
These departments are concentrated in the central building.
The other four auxiliary buildings serve as office buildings for other business units and subsidiaries.
The northeast annex building is the office building of Hailufeng Real Estate Company, Xinkangle Pharmaceutical and Yingxiong Dairy.
The northwest annex building is the office building for the Aquatic Products Division, Feed Division, Planting Division, Logistics Division, Physical Division, Science and Technology Division, and Network Division.
The southeast annex building is the resident office of Gannan Branch, Qiongzhou Branch, Mo'nan Branch, and other branches at the headquarters in the future.
The southwest annex building houses the sales department, e-commerce department and reserve cadre training center.
Jiang Miao opened the curtains and through the one-way transparent glass, he could overlook the entire new village and the Dongtian employee community opposite the headquarters.
The first phase of the staff community project has also been completed, with 500 houses already renovated. The same low-formaldehyde and natural stone-free decoration scheme was used to facilitate the safe move-in of employees.
Now the decoration company is working overtime to renovate the remaining 1300 houses, and the second phase of the project has also started simultaneously.
Because Hailufeng Company built its own employee community, the growth momentum of real estate prices in the neighboring Jincheng Bay was suppressed.
After all, without the high-income group at the Hailufeng company headquarters to take over, it would be extremely difficult to raise housing prices relying solely on purchases by nearby villagers.
Moreover, the commercial housing developed by Hailufeng Real Estate Company not only has no common area, but is also relatively cheap and has internal company subsidies.
The employees are also very aware that the materials used for the houses in the staff community are very good, the decoration materials are not random, and the height of the houses is not high.
Many people actually don’t like houses that are 20 or 30 stories high.
On the one hand, it is unsafe. Once a fire or earthquake occurs, there is no way to escape.
On the other hand, the future of high-rise buildings is worrying. Buying a high-rise commercial house now may look bright and beautiful, but as time goes by, the higher the building, the higher the maintenance cost will be. Who will pay for these maintenance funds? It is still the residents who bear the cost.
There are already various high-rise slums in America, and it is difficult to avoid them in China as well.
After all, this is the drawback of high-rise buildings.
A 30-story residential building with hundreds of households.
A 9-story residential building with only dozens of households.
If you were a real estate developer doing secondary development, which one would you choose? The answer is self-evident. You would definitely give priority to low-rise buildings.
Unless the building is in a very good location and is in the promising future of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shenzhen, if it is in other places, no real estate developer will take over the high-rise residential building.
The taller the building, the higher the recycling cost, demolition cost, and safety risk, and the lower the cost-effectiveness of rebuilding.
In Jiang Miao's opinion, the aging, maintenance, renovation and reconstruction of high-rise buildings in China in the future can only be solved by the government. Real estate companies, property management companies and residents simply cannot afford the increasingly huge costs.
This is also the fundamental reason why Hailufeng Real Estate Company gave up developing high-rise residential buildings.
...
Jiang Miao walked around the headquarters and told Li Zixuan to have the decoration company rectify the problems he had found as soon as possible.
He then came to the Finance Department which had just moved to the headquarters.
"Boss, please take a seat." Ye Meijing quickly invited Jiang Miao to take a seat.
Jiang Miao sat down and asked directly: "How is the financial situation in September?"
"The financial situation in September is good. Here are the preliminary statistics. Please take a look, boss."
Jiang Miao took the document and looked through it carefully.
Revenue from old businesses remains as strong as ever.
While pouring tea for him, Ye Meijing explained the financial situation: "In September, the three core products, eel fry, white truffles, and strawberry powder, had a total revenue of 7.84 million yuan."
“特种鱼饲料16.14亿元、草料0.71亿元、蜂蜜0.52亿元、鱼肉制品5.83亿元、水果0.43亿元、牛羊肉和副产品0.23亿元,这些产业合计是23.86亿元。”
She paused, and seeing that Jiang Miao didn't say anything, she continued, "In addition, the patent fee income is 5.3 million yuan."
"The separately listed Xin Kangle Pharmaceutical had a loss of 700 million yuan, and Hailufeng Real Estate Company had a revenue of 3.2 million yuan, including the down payment for 1800 houses. It can receive about 1300 million yuan in installments every month in the future. And Yingxiong Dairy barely broke even in September. I made a separate financial report."
Jiang Miao raised his head: "In other words, this month's revenue is 34.9 billion yuan?"
Ye Meijing nodded: "It's about this number. The physical store hasn't opened yet, but it should be in a loss-making state."
As for the operation of physical stores, Jiang Miao certainly knew that there would be losses for a period of time in the initial stage. The main reasons were insufficient customer flow and a limited product variety. This was unavoidable.
She continued to talk about financial expenditures: "In terms of expenditures, the main expenditure in September was the purchase of properties in various places, which cost 12.5 billion yuan. Other expenditures were 9.7 million yuan. Together with the losses of Xin Kangle Pharmaceutical, the total was 22.29 billion yuan."
"A surplus of 12 billion this month? Not bad." Jiang Miao was very satisfied with the company's financial situation.
In fact, Hailufeng Company's current cash reserves are still very large. After paying taxes for the first half of the year, the total reserve funds in September were 59.7 billion yuan.
Even though the company is expanding every month, its cash reserves are still rising steadily, mainly because many projects are being put into production one after another. For example, Hero Dairy is now self-sufficient and does not need continued transfusions from its parent company.
The durian plantations, tea oil plantations and large farms in the southern part of the desert have completed the initial investment stage and are entering the output stage or the waiting stage.
For example, in durian plantations, although no durian is grown, the alfalfa, forage grass and honey produced in the durian plantations have reduced the daily expenditure costs of these durian plantations and even generated a little profit.
The most dangerous part of many startup companies’ project development is that their profitability in the early stages is too poor, or they are simply not profitable at all, and they are supported by funds. If they fail to attract investment, they will basically fail.
The projects of Hailufeng Company are relatively comprehensive. There are short-term profit components in the long-term projects, which allows these projects to quickly achieve self-sustaining growth, and the company's financial pressure will not be stretched to the limit all at once.
After handling some official business at the headquarters.
In the afternoon, Jiang Miao came to Jilong Mountain, west of Magong Town.
The west side of Keelung Mountain faces the open sea of Cheung Sha Wan Bay.
After more than half a year of construction, the infrastructure of the Jilongshan Breeding Base was officially completed at the end of August. After another month of equipment installation and debugging, it can finally start production today.
Inside the breeding base.
There are four-tiered aquaculture ponds. The seawater drawn from the estuary is filtered and purified and then injected into each aquaculture pond.
Each of these indoor breeding ponds has an independent insulation layer, and large numbers of salmon fry are already swimming in the specially adjusted seawater that has been cooled by refrigeration equipment.
The breeding base has a breeding area of 500 acres and an average water speed of 10 meters.
The top breeding area where Jiang Miao is currently located covers an area of 125 acres, which is also the breeding area for the first batch of fish fry.
Since salmon require different water space for activities at different stages of their growth, they cannot be simply and roughly divided.
For example, in the juvenile stage, one cubic meter of water can breed hundreds of fish.
As salmon grow larger, water capacity must be increased in a timely manner.
根据鲑鱼的不同生长阶段,可以规划成为幼鱼30亩、小鱼60亩、中鱼120亩、成鱼240亩,加上50亩待售成鱼养殖池。
In the initial stage, a total of 30 million salmon were stocked in 200 acres, including 40 each of red salmon, pink salmon, silver salmon, sockeye salmon and king salmon.
The growth cycle and breeding cycle of these salmon are different.
After adjusting the feed formula, pink salmon can reach adulthood in about 8 months, chub in 10 months, coho salmon and sockeye salmon in 12 months, and king salmon in 15 months.
In addition to the Jilongshan breeding base, the 5000-acre Zhelang Peninsula breeding base will also be put into use from October to December.
By then, we will be able to farm 2200 million salmon fingerlings, and adjust the stocking amount gradually according to the breeding cycles of the five species of salmon.
At maximum capacity, these salmon farms would be raising 8800 million salmon at a time, and after eight months, they would be able to sell about 700 million salmon per month.
In fact, this stocking density is relatively low.
As for the farming method of Norwegian salmon farming companies, they mainly use shallow sea gravity cage farming. The farming density in the farming cages is usually about 2% to 2.5% of the volume of the cages, that is, about 15 to 20 kilograms of salmon are farmed per cubic meter of water.
The breeding density of Hailufeng Company is 1 adult fish per 0.8 cubic meters of water.
狗鲑、银鲑、红鲑的成鱼体重都为2∽3公斤,而粉鲑只有1.5公斤左右,帝王鲑在15个月生长周期的成鱼极限体重也只有7∽8公斤。
The reason for such a low stocking density is mainly to speed up growth and prevent salmon from getting sick, while reducing the use of drugs.
You should know that in a high-density farming environment, the probability of salmon getting sick will increase greatly.
This is why salmon farming companies in Norway and other countries have to use drugs to reduce salmon mortality rates. Even with the use of drugs, the losses during the farming process are still very high.
Jiang Miao looked at the operation of the pumped storage system of the tiered farm for a while.
This pumped storage system has a usable volume of 60 to 100 million cubic meters. The power generation capacity under extreme conditions is 2 kilowatts, and the daily available power is 1 kilowatts. It can maintain 12 hours of power generation and 12 hours of pumping.
The system is mainly used by Hailufeng Company's headquarters and employee quarters.
After the inspection, Jiang Miao did not find any major problems, so he instructed the manager of the breeding base some precautions during the breeding process, and then returned to the scientific research center in Nanhu Village.
As the company's headquarters moved to the new rural village, Nanhu Village became a little quieter, but many researchers from the scientific research division worked here, and their dormitories were also arranged in the previous temporary office building.
Jiang Miao also had no idea of relocating the scientific research base.
The headquarters is mainly composed of the company's management, and there are no supporting scientific research equipment, experimental fields, or experimental greenhouses. There is also a constant coming and going of people, which is not conducive to confidentiality.
Therefore, the scientific research base was also set up in Nanhu Village. After all, there are only two entrances and exits to this place, and there are more than a hundred households of villagers locally, plus the employees of Hailufeng Company itself. Once outsiders come in, they will have no way to fish in troubled waters.
Jiang Miao's family still lives in the small villa in Nanhu Village and has not moved into the rooftop villa above the headquarters building.
Before we knew it, it was October 1st.
Jiang Miao, who had just come out of the laboratory to take a breath, saw Li Zixuan running over in a hurry: "Boss, the Mo Nan branch sent an email saying that the Senzu soybeans will start to be harvested in half a month. Many domestic soybean breeding researchers and agricultural scholars will arrive on October 10th. They want to invite you to come over."
"October 10th?" Jiang Miao frowned. He wanted to go, but Shuya's due date was October 15th. He wanted to stay at home with Shuya for a week, so it was obviously impossible for him to arrive in Mo Nan as scheduled.
He was about to speak when his cell phone rang.
"Hey, Mom, what's going on?"
"A Miao, Shuya's water broke, come here quickly!"
"I'll be there right away!"
He hurriedly ran a few hundred meters and arrived at the door of the villa.
He saw Li Wenna was on the phone.
As he walked into the living room, Jiang Miao heard the loud cry of a baby. His face changed slightly, and he didn't even bother to use the identification panel, and rushed to the temporary bedroom on the first floor.
At the door, Shuya's female bodyguard An Ning saw her coming and quickly said, "Boss, the boss's wife has given birth. The medical staff is treating the wound now. It's a little girl."
"How is Shuya?"
"The nurse said there's no problem and we can go in and meet her later." An Ning replied quickly.
Jiang Miao breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he remember to look at the identification panel and then expanded his dimensional vision.
Two experienced nurses are handling the follow-up. Since it is a normal delivery, it is relatively easy for the nurses to handle.
These two nurses were experienced nurses that he had specially recruited from the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital. They were specially prepared for Shuya's delivery, just in case.
Now it seems that his preparation was correct.
After a while, my mother came out of the delivery bedroom, pushing a specially prepared baby care crib that can keep the baby warm and isolate bacteria.
"A Miao, mother and daughter are safe." Mom smiled.
Jiang Miao glanced at his daughter's wrinkled face, then asked with concern: "How is Shuya?"
The mother didn't even look at him, but stared at her granddaughter through the transparent partition with a smile: "Nurse Zhang and Nurse Bai are collecting things. Shuya is too tired and just fell asleep. You can go in later!"
"All right!"
Li Zixuan came over from behind and handed two big red envelopes to the boss: "Boss, red envelopes!"
"Oh? I almost forgot." Jiang Miao took the red envelope.
Twenty minutes later.
The door of the delivery bedroom opened a crack and two old nurses came out.
One of the more prosperous nurses took off her mask and said with a smile, "Boss Jiang, the wife is resting now. Let's meet again in the afternoon! Ah Fang and I will take turns to look after the mother and daughter. Don't worry!"
"Thank you both for this small token of your appreciation." Jiang Miao handed two red envelopes to the two people.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
I have things to do today and tomorrow, so I'll update once.
