Chapter 262: This little chatterbox! She went to study with Deputy Director Han! (Silver Alliance 1st update)
The truck drove along the cement road all the way to the farm gate.
“Beep! Beep!”
Accompanied by two car horns, two security personnel walked out of the communication room on the side of the gate and opened the door slowly.
He just glanced into the car, and after seeing Su Wenchen sitting in the passenger seat, his pace immediately quickened.
As the car drove into the yard, the driver of the transport team immediately turned to look at Su Wenchen.
"Director, are you going to the field office or somewhere else? I'll take you there."
Su Wenchen saw a large group of people gathered on the side of the road where he had just entered and shook his head.
"No need, just stop the car. What are those people doing up ahead?"
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, the other party turned the steering wheel, parked the car to the side of the road, and explained.
"That's the big rock that Deputy Director Zhang brought back. I guess the people from the site are arguing about what shape to carve it into!"
Su Wenchen nodded.
After getting off the bus, I walked straight over there. As soon as I got closer, I heard someone talking.
"If it were me, we could just carve a portrait of the leader and save everyone from all this trouble."
"No, I called the ministry office and they say that for a unit like ours, erecting a bust of a leader like this requires approval."
"Do you think we can just set up a commune like we do?"
"So what should we do? How about carving a bust of our Director Su?"
"Is this okay? Should I call the director?"
When Su Wenchen came over and heard this, he immediately broke out in a sweat.
You bunch of bastards, you want to kill me!
Besides, how could the current leader carve this thing on his own doorstep?
Isn't this just asking for trouble? Are you complaining that your life is too comfortable?
So Su Wenchen spoke directly.
"What are you all doing gathered here?"
After hearing Su Wenchen's voice, everyone immediately turned around and shouted in surprise.
"director!"
"Director, you're back! You're just in time!"
"We're discussing the statue. Director, what do you think of a bust of you?"
When Su Wenchen heard this, he immediately became annoyed.
"Get out of here and give me my statue back! You think I've lived too long, don't you?"
Then he walked over and looked at the huge stone.
Su Wenchen said directly.
"Don't even bother with a bust. Carving that would be too much work. Just carve 'Long Live the Working People'."
"After all, I alone cannot represent the farm. Only the working people of our entire farm can represent our farm."
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, some people immediately applauded.
"It has to be the director, which I think is great. It saves a lot of effort and also allows me to represent the entire farm."
"I think there's no problem. Why didn't we think of it?"
"Yeah, otherwise he would have to be the director!"
Su Wenchen looked at the venue, which was gradually becoming more like Han Yang.
Just say yes.
"You little brats are so chattering! You've all been through training with Deputy Director Han!"
"I haven't seen you for a month, and now you're already trying to drug me!"
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, someone immediately spoke.
"Director, didn't Deputy Director Han say that everyone in the field office should be more sweet-mouthed?"
"That way others will have a good first impression of us!"
Su Wenchen rolled his eyes.
"Then why the hell are you doing this to me? I don't know what kind of people you are!"
"Every mouth is as loose as that old lady's belt."
"Okay, don't follow Deputy Director Han's lead. Act as you should to the outside world. Don't bully others or act servile. We're a farm directly under the Ministry, after all. If you tell anyone, it will bring shame upon me!"
As soon as Su Wenchen finished speaking, he saw several people hurriedly walking towards him from the office area.
The two in front are Zhang Zhenhua and Han Yang.
As soon as he came over, Han Yang said immediately.
"Director, you're back. We did a good job, didn't we? Putting something up at the door was my idea."
Su Wenchen snorted coldly.
"Not bad at all, you've almost turned the venue into a bunch of sycophants."
"What's up? Are you the salesperson we trained for our farm in advance? Try to be a little sweeter."
"And the eggs on our farm are already at the point where they can't be sold?"
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Han Yang immediately laughed.
"Director, I'm doing sales training for the foreign affairs staff of import and export companies at the request of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. So, I'd like to practice with our own staff first!"
"Otherwise I'd be really nervous!"
Su Wenchen was a little confused.
"What sales training? Aren't all the Yuehua rabbits sold?"
Han Yang shook his head.
"It's not from our farm. It's ordinary Yuehua rabbit fur from Beiwan Commune."
"These are not that popular, and we now have our own import and export company, so they were transferred from the import and export company under the Beijing Foreign Trade Bureau to our Lan City."
"But here we need our import and export company to talk to the people outside."
"So, doesn't this mean I have to train a group of salespeople who know foreign languages?"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"That's true, but you also have to be careful and not be too humble to the outside world."
"Otherwise, not only will it be difficult to explain to the country, but people outside may not look up to you either."
Han Yang nodded immediately.
"Don't worry, Director. It's not just me, there are also specialists from the Foreign Trade Department working together to train you. I just want to avoid embarrassing myself in front of the Foreign Trade Department!"
Su Wenchen felt relieved after hearing this. He also knew that since this involved foreign trade, it was normal for the higher-ups to do the training. Otherwise, if Han Yang were to do it himself, he was really afraid that he would end up training a bunch of sycophants.
Then Su Wenchen turned sideways and pointed at Yang Wanlou who was not far away and introduced him.
"This is the head of the Finance Department of the First Division, Comrade Yang Wanlou."
After saying that, Su Wenchen pointed at Han Yang on the left and said.
"This is Deputy Director Han Yang from the headquarters. He's mainly responsible for matters concerning the foreign trade import and export company within the headquarters."
After Su Wenchen finished his introduction, Yang Wanlou immediately stepped forward.
He shook hands with the other person.
"Deputy Director Han, hello! Hello!"
Han Yang also responded directly with a smile.
"Haha, hello, Chief Yang, hello, welcome to the headquarters for a visit and study."
"Oh my, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, our entire field has been built!"
Su Wenchen ignored Han Yang's sigh and pointed at Zhang Zhenhua who was not so good at speaking.
"This is Deputy Director Zhang Zhenhua. He's primarily responsible for the chicken farm and the daily operations at the headquarters."
Hearing this, Yang Wanlou immediately walked over and shook hands even more enthusiastically than before.
"Deputy Director Zhang, I've heard so much about you. I heard in the car that this grand entrance was your idea!"
Seeing the other party so enthusiastic, Zhang Zhenhua was stunned at first, and then spoke directly.
"Comrade Wanlou, welcome to the main field, but that's not where I want to be."
"I just followed the director's instructions and mentioned it to the site office. At most, they approved a funding note. The main arrangements were made by the site office!"
Then he looked at Su Wenchen and said.
"Director, what do you think?"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"It's really good. It must have cost a lot of money!"
"How are our farm's finances? How much spare money do we have?"
Zhang Zhenhua thought about it.
"Including the road repairs, the total cost is about 60,000 yuan!"
"The main expense was on cement, but the other things didn't cost much."
"As for the farm's finances, this year's revenue and expenditure have just been calculated. If you don't count the foreign exchange from Yuehua Rabbit, the total revenue this year is 1.14 million yuan."
"Chicken farms account for the majority of this. This year, our 70,000-plus chickens produced nearly 1.9 million kilograms of eggs. However, our output is too high, and other brigades have also set up chicken farms, so the price of eggs is not high this year, only 50 cents per kilogram.
"After deducting some damaged orders and including the culled hens, our total revenue is only 960,000 yuan. The remaining 180,000 yuan comes from the fur and canned rabbit meat we exported from the Rex rabbit farming we started earlier this year with the commune."
"I'm not sure about the exact cost of the rabbit house, but the cost of the chicken farm is very high."
"This year, we pulled four million kilograms of feed corn from the county grain depot alone."
"This year, the county gave us a one-cent increase, which is calculated at seven cents per pound. This alone cost us almost three hundred thousand yuan."
"Another major item is our staff wages and benefits. This year, the total cost of wages and benefits at the headquarters is about 350,000 yuan."
"And we added a few new staff buildings this year, which also cost over 100,000 yuan, so we still have a little over 300,000 yuan left on the books."
"If you want the exact amount, Director, you'll have to ask the Finance Department."
Su Wenchen nodded. It was not much different from his estimate. After all, these major expenditures had to be approved by him personally.
So Su Wenchen probably has a rough idea of what's going on.
The chicken farm was pretty much the same as he had estimated before. After all, he was now a real chicken farmer, and he knew very well how much profit the chicken farm could bring.
On the egg-laying side of the chicken farm, since these laying hens are only fed with breeding feed once when they are born in the breeding farm, and subsequently eat normal mixed feed, their egg production has almost gradually decreased to normal levels.
However, in this era, the egg production rate is still very high.
Because the ratio of feed to eggs produced is almost two to one, which is a small increase of three to one compared to the normal feed-to-egg ratio of this era.
Two kilograms of feed produces one kilogram of eggs, which is almost in line with the modern standard.
Of course, this is also because many parts of their chicken farms are actually not much different from modern chicken farms.
Various lighting supplements and feed nutrition standards are already the most advanced in this era.
However, even so, after deducting the cost of feed and labor, the profit was only more than 300,000 yuan.
Su Wenchen could imagine that without his golden finger bonus, it would be very difficult for chicken farms to develop in this era.
Because according to the normal egg production rate and employee wages, such a large farm with more than 70,000 chickens can only earn less than 100,000 yuan after a whole year of work.
This is under the assumption that there is no large-scale illness. If a serious illness occurs, it will be even worse!
It’s no wonder that egg-laying chicken farming in Lan City could not develop before their Blue Water Farm was established.
Because before we have mature technology and talents, we must be mentally prepared for losses.
The reason why many places in Lan City dare to do this now is entirely because their chicken farms have developed and matured and have sufficient experience in treating laying hen diseases and have a prevention and control system.
After others learn it, they can naturally copy it, which is definitely better than them figuring it out on their own.
The reason why Su Wenchen opened the egg-laying chicken farm to others for visits and learning was, firstly, because they were a state-owned industry after all, and secondly, to support other chicken farms.
It is also to pave the way for their farm transformation in advance.
After all, they are now Blue Water Farm, not Blue Water Chicken Farm anymore.
If they want to become a giant integrated farm in the future, they will definitely have to dabble in everything, so Su Wenchen thinks that it is enough to maintain the current scale of the chicken farm.
Later, there will be more people to take charge of other industries, such as pig farming!
This is even more important than the egg-laying chicken industry.
And in terms of making money alone, Su Wenchen feels that raising rabbits is more profitable than raising chickens.
Because the rabbit house actually made 180,000 this year, which was indeed something he had not expected, because they only had one batch of Rex rabbits, and later they all replaced them with Moonlight Rabbits.
I just didn't expect that it would cost 180,000.
The main reason is that the cost of rabbit feed at this time is really too low compared to grain.
There are just not many people who grow pasture grass, so they have to grow it themselves.
Therefore, the development of Rabbit will definitely rely mainly on the branch farm.
Thinking of this, Su Wenchen spoke directly to Zhang Zhenhua.
"Lao Zhang, after the New Year, do you have any new development directions for the headquarters?"
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, Zhang Zhenhua sighed.
"Director, I'm still thinking about it. The chicken farm has almost expanded to its limit, and if we want to increase our profit margin, we have to carry out deep processing of our products."
"The rabbit farm makes a lot of money because a large portion of it is canned food."
"Because no one knew what the future of canned rabbit meat would be at the time, we provided the rabbit meat and they provided the equipment, and we split the profits."
"Looking at it now, this is definitely a big profit, but egg processing is more troublesome."
"I sent people to the city's department stores to investigate a lot of egg-related things. Eggs are indeed popular, and the things made with them are also popular."
"All kinds of egg cakes, peach cakes, egg rolls, they are all very popular, and they all require cake tickets, so the profit is also very high."
"But flour, sugar, lard, these things are hard to get."
"The production department also suggested pickling them into salted eggs or preserved eggs for sale, but we found that the price was not much more expensive than fresh eggs."
"After trying it, we found that the eggs lose about 15% of their moisture after being pickled. So, compared to fresh eggs, the price isn't competitive. So, we might as well just sell fresh eggs. After all, our chicken farm is just trying to increase profits, not that we can't sell the eggs."
"As for the production of high-profit products like pastries, our farm doesn't have many other sources of ingredients. Flour is a better option. We can talk to the city and they should be able to provide it."
"But sugar and lard are tricky to deal with."
After hearing what Zhang Zhenhua said, Su Wenchen also felt that it was still too early to develop the tertiary industry at this time.
Because their farms currently do not have enough raw materials to cover them.
When the branch farm is completed, there will be hundreds of thousands of acres of land to back it up.
It would not be too late to consider vigorously promoting the tertiary industry at that time, because at that time no matter what you do, you can produce raw materials yourself, saving the profit space of transportation and processing by others, and the profit margin should be able to increase a lot.
