Chapter 664 A towering building rises from the ground (1/2)
Li Duoyu has no intention of teaching the entire salted kelp technique to the kelp farmers in the village.
Although kelp silk is simple to make, there is a very important issue, and that is the preservation process.
There is no cold storage on the island, so the salted kelp cannot be kept fresh. Once it is not kept fresh, the salted kelp will rot.
If you teach them too early, it may not be a good thing for the promotion of new products. If some people produce unqualified salted kelp, it will affect the promotion of new products.
Of course, Li Duoyu is not a philanthropic person. He always thinks about the villagers whenever he gets something good. Of course, he has to make money himself first.
Rongcheng 꾉4th Road.
A newly built landmark building has ten floors and a company with about 200 square meters.
There is a [Minlong Distribution Company] sign hanging at the door. There are several offices inside, and a large tea table is placed in the lobby.
The office with the general manager's sign on it has always been empty, but the interior configuration is quite high-end.
There are not only two bookcases, but also many large books, such as "Cihai" and "Dream of Red Mansions". In the office, there is also a high-end nanmu desk and a cowhide boss chair.
There are not many employees in the office, only about ten people, most of whom are women.
And they have been working here for more than two months, and so far they have not seen the general manager come to the company.
Although the company is not very big, the configuration is extremely luxurious. Almost every two workstations are equipped with a telephone.
Although the company has just opened, the phone rings are very intensive. After the ringing, a female staff member with a sweet voice picked up the phone and listened to the conversation.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, as for the shrimp seedlings, you may have to wait another month. When the seedlings are available, we will notify you as soon as possible."
In Xiaolin's office, it's so comfortable these days. All the glass windows are full of beautiful beauties.
He loves his master so much that he recruits so many beautiful girls knowing that he is still single. In the past, he might be late for work, but now he almost always arrives early.
But at this moment, with his legs crossed and humming a song, he was startled by the ringing of the phone on the table.
There are only a few people who can make this call. Not long after Xiaolin picked up the phone, he hurriedly shouted to the master: "Boss, the general manager said that he will come to our place."
An Liang replied: "Did the general manager tell you what time you will arrive?"
"놖forgot to ask."
An Liang looked at him speechlessly: "No questions asked, let's wait upstairs from 1:30."
Xiao Lin really wanted to give himself a slap in the face, but why did he forget to ask the time? Now, all he can do is wait upstairs.
At about three o'clock, Li Duoyu drove the Crown car to this new landmark building.
The national flags of several countries are planted at the door, and almost all of the parked cars are luxury cars. It can be said that if you can open a company here, you must be capable, and of course scammers are excluded.
After seeing that Li Duoyu was driving by himself, An Liang hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Li, come and help you park the car."
"놖Just do it yourself."
Seeing Li Duoyu parking the car by himself, An Liang looked at Xiao Lin with disgust. This kid still hasn't learned how to drive well.
"Hurry up and get your driver's license tested. If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, be smart. Do you know?"
Xiao Lin glanced at Chen Wenchao, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, and muttered: "Brother Chao doesn't know how to drive."
An Liang couldn't help but kicked him directly: "Xiao Chao is too busy to learn to drive, so I have to give him my driver's license. Do you hear me?"
Xiao Lin: Li Duoyu followed Manager An to his own branch. To be honest, this was his first time here.
After the initial negotiation with Manager An, 100,000 yuan was allocated directly from the company to let him set up a distribution company.
Currently, Minlong's sales system and breeding system are separated, and the distribution department is currently in charge of Manager An.
When Li Duoyu arrived at the company, he found that most of the employees were young girls, and they were lined up in a row. After seeing Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao, he said respectfully: "Hello, general manager, hello, Mr. Chen."
Li Duoyu was somewhat mentally prepared. When he first recruited people, An Liang discussed with him that women would have greater advantages in the distribution industry, so the proportion of female employees was relatively high.
Their work is more like telesales and customer service integrated into one, and they are responsible for both sales and after-sales.
Chen Wenchao, who had never seen such a battle before, was shouted out like this by so many beautiful girls. His face immediately turned red to the root of his neck, and he became unnatural. He did not dare to look directly at them at all, but kept his head buried in walking.
Li Duoyu replied calmly: "Don't be like this this time, go back to work."
Li Duoyu followed An Liang to his office. Although Manager An said that the cards should still be there, this was too much.
But Li Duoyu also understands that the most important thing in the sales industry is packaging. To put it bluntly, if you don’t package the same product well, others won’t even look at it twice.
"This office is well decorated."
Li Duoyu sat on the boss chair made of top-grain cowhide. At this moment, he finally felt like a boss.
Not long after, Chen Wenchao took out three glass cans from the cloth bag he carried with him.
The package inside is pickled kelp shreds. After seeing this, An Liang immediately asked: "Mr. Li, are these cans a new product?"
Li Duoyu nodded: "I came here today to give you new products to try and see your opinions."
Xiao Lin, who was always disliked, took the lead this time and said: "Mr. Li, let's try it first."
An Liang said disdainfully: "With your mouth, you scream when it's a little spicy. There's no way you can eat."
Xiao Lin looked aggrieved.
If you are not active, you will be scolded. If you are active, you will be disliked. I always feel that everything I do is wrong.
An Liang took chopsticks and tried the kelp shreds in three glass cans. His face was a little surprised.
"Mr. Li, are there three flavors?"
Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Manager An, which flavor of these three kelp shreds do you think is more suitable for our coastal areas?"
An Liang pointed to the middle can without thinking and said, "This taste is good, a little spicy but not too spicy, and it tastes very fragrant. It is good with porridge, rice or wine."
Li Duoyu nodded. In fact, he knew the taste of coastal areas very well. Normally, they are salty, spicy but not too spicy, and fragrant.
An Liang smiled and pointed to the first can and said, "Mr. Li, this can doesn't look like you want to sell it in our province."
Li Duoyu nodded. It was really easy to work with smart people. He made a total of three series this time.

One is a series of chili peppers for mainlanders, the other is for locals, and the last one is a recipe for instant kelp shreds, which are more flavorful if pickled, but have a longer shelf life.
After An Yuliang finished eating the kelp shreds, Li Duoyu suddenly asked: "Manager An, do you think this kelp shreds can be compared with pickled mustard tuber?"
After hearing this, An Yuliang's half-closed eyes suddenly widened a few points. During the time he traveled all over the country, he had always been optimistic about the pickled tuber product.
This product has always sold very well, and it can be said to be the best-selling product of this era. Whether in the city or in the countryside, the demand is very large.
But relatively speaking, the competition is also fierce. Almost every province has its own brand of pickled mustard tuber, such as Xiapu pickled mustard tuber in Fujian Province, Xiaobaitu pickled mustard tuber in the neighboring province, and Fuling pickled mustard tuber in the mainland, etc.
An Yuliang never thought that his boss would ask such a question. He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I can't guarantee you this. Whether these things are good or not is not up to us. It depends on the market reaction."
Li Duoyu knocked on the table and then said, "We have already started production here. Let's distribute the goods first. Just like you said, let's see the market reaction first. If it's good, we will go out."
An Yuliang replied, "Mr. Li, please rest assured. Within half a month, all the channels in the province will be paved for you."
After hearing this, Li Duoyu was stunned. This sentence sounds simple, but for a boss, there is no more pleasant sound than this.
"Manager An, thank you for your hard work!"
After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he then said: "By the way, when you are free, I will also hand over the food packaging to you. We plan to directly purchase imported equipment.
When the time comes, I will contact you, and you can go to the island country to connect with the people there and bring back the quotation. If it is appropriate, we will directly use the imported equipment."
Although there are also equipment in China, this kind of thing will soon be eliminated. Li Duoyu thinks it is better to do it in one step.
Xiao Lin, who was silent on the side, stared with his eyes wide open, and his heart beat faster.
Is the boss sent abroad?
When the time comes, will he take me with him? In this way, I can also "travel at public expense".
When he was still in the United Distribution Company, Li Xiuqing was sent abroad for inspection, and he was almost envious.
Manager An asked back: "Mr. Li, won't you go together then?"
Li Duoyu sighed: "Next, there are things like kelp harvesting and shrimp seedlings. I may be busy and have no time to go abroad."
"I understand."
Li Duoyu still has a lot of ideas, but he didn't tell Manager An. He introduced advanced packaging equipment from abroad from the beginning.
It is paving the way for fresh logistics. Fresh logistics is what restricts the development of seafood. It only transports seafood to the mainland relatively intact.
Then the sales of seafood will be wider. At present, only dried seafood can be sold to the mainland. Fresh seafood is almost not available in the mainland, and frozen shrimp is very rare.
If Li Duoyu wants to break this situation, he must do two things. One is better food packaging.
The other is cold chain logistics.
The former is easier to solve, and it can be solved by imported equipment. For the latter cold chain logistics, a lot of money needs to be invested.
At present, the cost of an imported cold chain logistics vehicle can allow the current Minlong Company to work for two or three months for nothing.
In this era of economic explosion, Minlong seems to make a lot of money, but in fact it is not that great.
Although Lin Akuan from the next county only does white sugar business, that thing is definitely a strategic material and the demand is very large.
The profit is much higher than those of them who engage in breeding, and it has also driven the surrounding towns to grow sugarcane. The overall economic boost is not much worse than theirs.
As for the electronic workshops in southern Fujian, they are like mushrooms after rain.
If the organization here does not deliberately train him, he will show up more often. Compared with these real big guys, his Minlong is really not good enough.
To put it bluntly, even Chen Yuansu's Sanyuan Group can't beat it, not to mention that it is now the mainstream electronic industry.
Li Duoyu stood in his office and looked into the distance, but the scene not far from the building made him a little dazed.
In the future core area of Rongcheng, there are actually many vegetable fields and ponds behind the buildings on both sides of the street.
Seeing this, Li Duoyu said to Manager An: "Please help me write a calligraphy when you have time."
After hearing this, An Yuliang suddenly became interested and said: "I just happen to know the president of the Calligraphers Association, so I can ask him to help write for me. What words can Mr. Li write?"
"A towering building rises from the ground!" - One week later.
With the simultaneous release of Xinyuan Group and Manager An's bilateral channels, a product called [Minlong Kelp Shreds] quickly became popular in Fujian Province.
At Rongcheng Agricultural Market, the kelp shreds were immediately sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves.
A full page was published in the newspaper, all of which were advertisements for Minlong Kelp Shreds.
Even the local TV station broadcast the advertisement, which was very simple, with just one sentence: Minlong Kelp Shreds are delicious! In the past, when people had rice, they always liked to have some cooked dried fish and pickled mustard, but since the appearance of kelp shreds.
I don't know why, but it has become a trend. Many children can't help asking before eating: "Don't you have kelp shreds?"
Even Rongcheng Courtyard has this dish. Secretary Huang, who came to the cafeteria to get food, smiled and said: "Leader, this new kelp shreds is good, you can try it."
The big leader said disdainfully: "Its advertisements are all over TV and newspapers."
"Are these kelp shreds in our cafeteria sent by Duoyu?"
Huang Qingfeng nodded.
"Tell him not to do these nonsense, develop well, and strive to expand the scale of the enterprise. That's the real thing."
Huang Qingfeng smiled and said, "Tell Duoyu that when the time comes, in addition to canned packaging, it can also be made like pickled mustard tubers."
The big leader was stunned, then smiled and said, "He has a lot of ideas. If that's the case, we have to support him more. Ask him when we have time if he needs any help."
Huang Qingfeng shook his head and said, "It's different now. We can't help him even if we want to. He is not short of money now. Nearly 4,000 acres of kelp will be harvested soon. In addition, kelp silk has been very popular recently. I don't know how much money he will make."
The leader snorted, "He makes too much money. Don't you come to pay some taxes?"
Huang Qingfeng He smiled and said, "This is an emerging industry. The tax on seafood has not been determined yet. It's good that he doesn't get subsidies from us."
The big leader frowned slightly: "It feels a bit unfair. We collect taxes from fruit farmers and rice farmers, but why don't we collect taxes on seafood?"
Huang Qingfeng smiled and said, "Let's raise this tax at the next meeting and see how we deal with it."
The leader shook his head: "Forget it. It's just the starting stage now. It's better not to dampen his enthusiasm. The tax burden has already made farmers panic. If you just pick peaches when you just start, you will be scolded to death."
