Chapter 234 A bustling crowd
Over time.
The durian produced by Hailufeng Company is becoming more and more famous in the country.
This has attracted the attention of many investors or investment companies.
However, after these people carefully studied the cooperation announcement of Hailufeng Company, they found that it was very difficult to invest in durian planting.
It’s not that the local villagers can’t rent their land, but that the Hailufeng Company has blocked many things related to the contractual cooperation.
For example, the scale of planting, when to induce flowering, when to pick the fruits, what standards the fruits must meet, how to determine the purchase price, and why they can only be sold to Hailufeng Company, all these things have been determined.
Many investors are very dissatisfied with the annual gross profit of only more than 50,000 yuan per acre. After all, they have seen that the price of durian in the previous domestic market can easily reach more than 30 yuan per catty. This makes many investors dissatisfied with such a harsh and low-profit investment, and they also secretly curse Hailufeng Company for meddling in other people's business.
But Hailufeng Company continued to do its own thing.
After all, only by controlling the planting scale, ensuring the quality, and regulating the planting cycle can the stable development of the entire durian industry be ensured. If investors and fruit farmers are allowed to plant at will, the consequence will be the collapse of the entire durian industry.
Satsuma mandarin oranges and Sunshine Rose are examples of this.
Therefore, when it comes to cooperative fruit planting, Hailufeng Company has always been very strong and refused to grant other companies technical authorization in this regard.
The reason is that after these companies obtain the technology, they may blindly expand their production capacity.
Agricultural Cooperation Office of Qiongzhou Branch.
In just half a month, we received no less than 700 farmers and businesses who came to consult about cooperation.
Opposite to the Qiongzhou branch office building.
The manager of a large fruit store chain and several of his subordinates came out of the office building of the Qiongzhou branch and went to a convenience store across the street.
"Manager Liu, what should we do now?"
Manager Liu, who bought a bottle of water, looked at the busy Qiongzhou branch at the door and said with a grim expression: "Hailufeng Company refuses to give in, and there is nothing we can do!"
If it were any other company, they would have used their connections to do something shady long ago.
The problem is that due to the special nature of Hailufeng Company, no one in the country dares to touch it.
After all, the fruit and luxury agricultural products industry is not related to the grain sector that is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. It is also one of the few industries that state-owned enterprises look down upon. Hailufeng Company has a strong background, and private enterprises really have no way to cause trouble.
As for the idea of using local influence to secretly harm the Hailufeng Company, if he had a few peanuts, he would not have drunk like that.
You should know that Jiang Miao's election as an academician this year is a sure thing.
Faced with such a person with powerful connections, who would dare to take risks for the sake of a few private enterprises?
Therefore, no matter how angry the bosses and executives of these companies are, Hailufeng Company is not afraid at all.
After all, this is market competition.
Over the past half month, the area of durian plantations approved in Qiongzhou has been basically divided up. Together with the area of Hailufeng Company's own farms, the durian planting area in Qiongzhou is 90 acres.
On the Shanmei side, it is 60 acres.
At the same time, the approved area of Mike series bananas in Qiongzhou has reached an astonishing 150 million acres.
The planting area of these two fruits suddenly became one of the pillar industries of Qiongzhou.
In return, Hailufeng Company obtained the monopoly of all Mac bananas in Qiongzhou area, but the banana straw of Mac bananas was opened to the market, allowing other companies to purchase banana straw for extracting abaca.
...
Manager Liu and others are not the only ones who have hit a wall.
Since the planting area of durian and Mike banana has been basically completed, people or companies that come a step late can only regret it secretly.
Those who obtained the qualification to plant crops hurried back to prepare the land.
In order to facilitate management, Qiongzhou Branch set up management offices in counties and cities to specifically manage these contracted plantations.
Just as Manager Liu drank half a bottle of water, a figure appeared in front of him and handed him a cigarette: "Brother, are you here to invest in growing durian and bananas too?"
Manager Liu took the cigarette calmly and said, "Yes! But I came late, so there is no more durian."
"What's your name, brother? My name is Heizi."
"My surname is Liu. Brother Heizi, is there anything I can do for you?"
Heizi looked around and whispered, "If you want to grow durian, there are ways."
"Oh? Brother, do you have any good ideas?" Manager Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was secretly alert in his heart.
Heizi explained in a low voice: "A friend of mine got a quota of 150 acres of durian planting, but he had a car accident a few days ago and felt that it would be difficult for him to manage the farm in the future. He wanted to transfer the quota. I wonder if Brother Liu is interested?"
"150 acres?" Manager Liu lit up a cigarette. "Huh... the area is a bit small!"
"Brother Liu thinks it's too little?" Heizi looked around again and continued in a low voice: "If Brother Liu is willing to pay for tea, I can find a way to get you 1000 acres."
"1000 acres?" Manager Liu showed a smile on his face, but he was not moved at all in his heart, because he knew very well that Hailufeng Company would not leave such a loophole for people.
Therefore, the black man in front of him is either a liar or has connections inside Hailufeng Company and obtained part of the quota through secret operations.
As for the villagers or the local cooperative selling durian planting quotas, Manager Liu did not believe a word. Although a new technology durian seedling costs up to 3000 yuan, 30 durians are planted per acre, and the cost of planting durian seedlings per acre requires an investment of 9 yuan.
However, this investment can be fully recovered in about two years.
The villagers or the local cooperative would not be so stupid as to sell such a hen that lays golden eggs.
However, just because Manager Liu doesn't believe it doesn't mean he won't take action.
The two of them quickly agreed on the cooperation. Heizi showed him a durian planting share confirmation letter issued by Hailufeng Company, as well as a cooperation document, which was still blank.
However, the internal numbers published in these documents can be found on the official website of Hailufeng Company.
Manager Liu became more and more certain of the other party's identity. After obtaining some evidence, he took the initiative to transfer 50,000 yuan to the other party in order to gain his trust.
Looking at Heizi leaving, a subordinate wearing glasses beside Manager Liu whispered: "Manager, this guy is not right. If Hailufeng Company finds out about the problem later, will we be in trouble?"
Manager Liu smiled and shook his head: "Haha, help me book a plane ticket, I want to go to Shantou and the United States."
"Going to Shanmei?"
"Well, go book a flight."
No matter how dumb the subordinates were, they guessed the manager's plan at this time.
That afternoon, the group arrived at the headquarters of Hailufeng Company.
It happened that Lv Weibin, the head of the planting division at the headquarters, heard that a team from a certain enterprise had to meet with the company's management regarding a very important matter. He felt that he had nothing to do, so he took the time to meet with the other party.
"Hello, Manager Lu. I am Liu Kaifu, the business manager of Southeast Fruit Industry. It is a great honor to meet you."
"Manager Liu, please speak frankly! I have a lot to do." Lu Weibin didn't want to waste time talking nonsense.
Liu Kaifu did not feel offended. After all, Hailufeng Company was already a domestic agricultural giant, and he, a business manager of a small company, was really nothing in front of them.
He nodded, went straight to the point, told what happened in front of the Qiongzhou branch this morning, and sent the contents of the photographed documents to Lv Weibin.
After listening to Liu Kaifu's description, Lv Weibin's face instantly turned ugly. He opened the internal system and checked the internal numbers of these files. He found that these files existed and had not yet been distributed. Only internal personnel could get them.
"Manager Liu, thank you very much for your report. If this is true, our company will not treat you unfairly. Please leave me your contact information."
Liu Kaifu was immediately delighted and quickly took out his business card: "Manager Lu, this is my business card. I won't bother you any more."
"Goodbye, Xiao Zhang, please see Manager Liu off."
Assistant Xiao Zhang saw Liu Kaifu and his group off.
Liu Kaifu did not leave Shanmei, but found a hotel to stay in nearby Jinting Bay.
During dinner.
A subordinate asked curiously, "Manager Liu, how did you guess that the black man might be a spy in Hailufeng Company? And what if this incident was done by a senior executive of Hailufeng Company?"
"Hehe..." Liu Kaifu, who had just finished a glass of wine, said with a smile, "If it was done by the senior executives of Hailufeng Company, they wouldn't have to wait for us to come out, they would have hinted at us directly in the office of Qiongzhou Branch. But they didn't do that in the office of Qiongzhou Branch. There is only one answer, the other party is not in a high position."
In fact, things were not as Liu Kaifu said. He was also thinking of taking a gamble.
After all, he couldn't get the durian planting quota. If he took Heizi's 1000-acre quota, he could indeed report to his boss.
But if something goes wrong afterwards, he will definitely be implicated.
Therefore, he decided to take a risk and flew directly to the Hailufeng Company headquarters to report.
If it fails, the worst that can happen is that you won’t get the planting share.
But if he succeeds, he will be able to get in touch with the senior executives of Hailufeng Company, which will definitely be a huge gain.
"Manager Liu, you are really observant."
"Manager Liu, I'd like to toast you."
"Tonight, we all need to learn from Manager Liu."
Just as they were drinking and chatting, Liu Kaifu's phone rang. When he saw the number, he quickly asked everyone to stop.
"Hello, is this Manager Lu?"
"Manager Liu, good evening. Our boss is very happy about your reminder today. Please come to our company headquarters at 12 noon tomorrow. Do you have time?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I will be there at noon tomorrow."
"great, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Kaifu clenched his fists and said, "No more drinking today. Tomorrow's work is very important. Let's cheer up."
"Yes."
