Reborn at 84, starting with raising fish

Chapter 138 Changhua Food
During this time, Lu Changhua devoted himself wholeheartedly to building the factory.

He and his father still had many arguments about the location of the factory.

In the end, Lu Changhua won.

Food processing plants must be located near cities with well-developed transportation.

Therefore, Beining County is currently the best choice.

After all, opening a factory and a breeding base are two different things.

The breeding base can be in a remote place, as long as it is conducive to breeding.

But factories can’t.

Without convenient transportation, how can the produced products be shipped out?

How will those raw materials be transported in?

This is the problem.

Then there's electricity.

What would it be like if there were always power outages while the factory was in operation?
Therefore, this factory must be opened in Beining City.

Beining in the 80s was really backward.

But this also shows that there are many opportunities.

Shang Guoqiang from the Second Commercial Bureau called Lu Changhua, and it was Lu's mother who answered the phone.

Lu Changhua declined the cooperation with the meat factory.

Shang Guoqiang felt that it was a pity that the matter would just end like this.

Next, Lu Changhua began the site selection work.

He has been wandering around the railway these days.

He felt that the most ideal location was one close to the train station.

And Tienan is the only one with such a position.

Tiebei is an urban area, and there is no place to open a factory in it.

Tienan has a large area of ​​open space.

Next to the railway works section and next to the railway primary school, there is a large cargo transfer yard.

This site belongs to the Railway Bureau and is managed by Beining Station.

Lu Changhua took the courage to find Beining Railway Station directly.

I met a greasy uncle in the webmaster's office.

He explained his intention and wanted to rent a piece of land to build a factory.

The person on duty in the duty room today is deputy station chief Lan.

Hearing that the God of Wealth is coming, he immediately served tea and poured water with a smile.

"Xiao Lu, right? Why did you fall in love with that transfer field?"

"I think it is relatively empty, and there is still room for development."

"Little Lu, you may not know our situation very well."

"You can't use the land at the transfer yard. It's the bureau's property, and we're just here to take care of it. It really doesn't matter what we say."

He smiled and asked, "Is it okay to use other plots?"

"As long as it's easy to transport, it doesn't matter anywhere."

"Actually, no matter how close you are to the railway, if there is no dedicated freight line, your goods will not be able to get on the train directly. They will have to be transferred by car."

“So, it’s the same thing if you stay a little further away.”

"Look, there is an open space to the east of Beining Brewery. If you think it's okay, we can go and have a look."

Although Lu Changhua felt dissatisfied, he still agreed to go and have a look.

It turns out that a row of simple storehouses was built along the street to the east of the brewery.

There are a dozen restaurants and grocery stores.

Behind this row of simple houses is a wasteland.

"This is the site of our Beining Station. It used to be a stockyard, but it was later abandoned. The station has always wanted to use it, but there is no suitable opportunity. See if this can work."

"Is there water and electricity?"

"Yes, there is Railway Primary School across the street. It has water and electricity. You can just pull over."

"You also know that our railway is a separate system, as long as the station agrees."

Lu Changhua stood on this wasteland and looked around.

The land is surrounded by a wall and contains several large puddles.

There are also rails and sleepers from some railways piled here.

"How big is this?"

"This area is not small, covering more than 100 acres."

Deputy Station Manager Lan took out a drawing.

"The street is 420 meters long from east to west, 250 meters wide from north to south, and about 150 acres."

Deputy webmaster Lan gestured.

"Look, this land faces the street on the north side and the street on the east side. The transportation is absolutely convenient and it is also close to the train station. How do you like it?"

"Well, how do we want to cooperate on this piece of land?"

"What are you doing with it?"

"I open a food processing factory, mainly processing canned meat and so on."

"Oh. Pretty good."

"rent?"

"That's easy to say."

Deputy Station Manager Lan laughed and said haha.

Lu Changhua immediately understood that he wanted to give benefits.

"Our land is very desolate, there is nothing, I just rented a piece of land. Therefore, I can only rent it when the price is right, otherwise, it will be boring."

"We can discuss."

Stationmaster Lan took Lu Changhua to the railway guesthouse in front of the station and asked the canteen to prepare food and drinks. He notified other leaders at the station and four of them came together.

Chinese people like to discuss business at the wine table.

Finally, it came to 1000 yuan per acre, and Lu Changhua leased acres.

The annual rent is .

The lease term is 30 years.

If the factory lease period is shortened, who will do it?

Rent is due once a year.

After drinking and eating, we made an appointment to sign the contract the next day.

Lu Changhua prepared cash.

Signing the contract went well.

As long as the red seal is stamped, the matter is settled.

For building a processing plant, the amount of work is huge.

Soon, Xing Wenbin rushed over.

When he arrived at the site and looked at the drawings, he said, "Boss Lu, our company has to come forward to sign the contract. I, the construction team, are not qualified to sign it."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Lu Changhua still has to go to the industrial and commercial office to register a business license.

At this time, private individuals cannot open companies; they must either be affiliated with state-owned enterprises or be self-employed.

He could have been affiliated, Deputy Station Chief Lan had already hinted.

But he didn't want to be confused.Self-employed people are self-employed.

When I arrived at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, I registered a "Changhua Food Business Department", which was a self-employed business.

With a license, it will be legal and reasonable for him to do what he does.

When they learned that their son had rented fifty acres of wasteland, Lao Lu and Mother Lu rushed to take a look.

Seeing such a large open space, Lao Lu gasped.

Fortunately, Lu Changhua only rented fifty acres. If he really rented all this land, Lao Lu would not be scared.

Then he is no longer a landlord? !
Lu Changhua signed a construction contract with Beining Construction Company in the name of Changhua Food Business Department.

The design of the factory building is completed by a specialized design institute.

Food processing factory buildings are relatively simple.

The layout of all processing workshops is basically the same, just connect water and electricity.

Then there is the warehouse.

A room temperature warehouse is no different from a workshop.

The focus is on cold storage.

Lu Changhua requested the construction of a sterile workshop.

Even entering and exiting must be disinfected, so there must be disinfection facilities and internal changing rooms.

Of course, just leave these to the design institute. If he doesn't understand, he doesn't need to worry about it.

As for food processing equipment, it depends on what product you make.

Lu Changhua loves canned food.

Especially in the 90s and s, canned food became very popular and popular.

Market and sales are not a problem.

Let’s see if Shen Yang has access to this canned production equipment.

The last time Shen Yang came to Beining, he originally thought he could help Lu Changhua.

Who knows, all the hard work will be in vain.

He felt very sorry.

Lu Changhua also comforted him several times.

When he received a call from Lu Changhua this time, he felt at ease.

In fact, he wanted to lure Lu Changhua to Harbin to open a factory.

But if Lu Changhua didn't come, he could only express regret.

When he heard that Lu Changhua needed canning production equipment, he agreed and asked him to wait for news.

After all, Shen Yang is from a government agency and is responsible for logistics procurement. He is familiar with all enterprises in Harbin.

Don't tell me, there are companies that really want to sell off their equipment.

This is a small factory under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Government Office.

There is indeed a canning facility.

It's just that the equipment is older.

But equipment is available in every aspect.

In the past, this cannery produced luncheon meat, which was only for the provincial government.Now that the market is gradually liberalized, they will lose the market.

The main reason is that the cost of their cans is high, making it uneconomical to continue producing them.

Only then was it disbanded and the employees relocated.

They are also worried about how to adjust the equipment.

Shen Yang confirmed the status of the equipment and inquired about the price before calling Lu Changhua.

"Little Lu, I inquired about a set of equipment for you. It is an old equipment. It is a bit old, but it can still be used."

"That's great! What did you do in canning before?"

"It's luncheon meat. The production volume is small, the cost is high, and now it's yellow."

"how much is it?"

"About one hundred thousand."

"A full set?"

"Full set."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements in the next two days and come over."

The two made an appointment and put down the phone.

Shen Yang thought, be sure not to make any mistakes this time, otherwise it will be really difficult for this friend.

He went to the factory specifically.

The technician took him to see the maintenance status of the equipment.

"Director Shen, this means we have maintained it well, otherwise this equipment would have been destroyed long ago."

"What is the current production capacity?"

When Shen Yang heard this, his heart tightened.

"About five hundred cans an hour."

"The output is quite a lot!"

"This is a theoretical figure. In fact, in recent years, we have produced more than 100 cans an hour."

"why?"

"Let's just eat from the big pot! It doesn't matter how much or how little you do, who will work harder?! Alas, this machine is in vain."

“Where do you get the empty cans from?”

"It's the iron products factory in Harbin. They specialize in producing empty cans. They cost a few cents each."

"Do you have contact information?"

"Yes, we need to find a buyer for this. He has these things in his hand."

After finding out the details, Shen Yang felt confident.

After Lu Changhua had arranged the project, he told his parents that he was going to Harbin to find Shen Yang and see the canning equipment.

"Has everything been explained to the family?"

"I've confessed. It's all right since you are here."

He was very relieved about Hu Dagui.

Now, Hu Dagui has broken away from the simple job of feeding fish and has become the manager of the entire reservoir and vegetable garden.

His unbeatable task every day is to deliver fish to the fish farm.

Every time I come here, I have to go to the Golden Corner Hotel and chat with Han Ying and Wu Yue for a while before going back.

On this day, Hu Dagui came to deliver fish. Lu Changhua explained some important matters and then said: "Tomorrow I will go to Harbin to check the equipment. You should take good care of the house and make sure there are no mistakes."

"Haha, don't worry, I will pay attention."

"You must keep an eye on the fish at home."

"rest assured."

"Hey, I heard that your kid is always running to the other side during this period. What do you want to do? Be a traitor?"

"What kind of traitor are you? I just went over to have a chat."

"Oh, hey, is that kid still there?"

"Which kid?"

"Tsk, you just got tired of Han Ying on the opening day, have you forgotten? Do you want to go back and beat him up?!"

"He's still here."

"I go!"

Lu Changhua turned around and walked away, leaving Hu Dagui alone in a daze!
