The place Liu Shengguang chose in Zhoujia Village was the original production team of the Zhoujia team.
I sold it to a teacher when I was working on my own.
The teacher's child was a commercial grain farmer. He was recruited to work in Bohai in 1985 and got married last year.
This teacher was the type who had a son in his old age and happened to be retired.
The couple packed up and moved to their son's house, and gave the house to their eldest daughter who was already married.
My eldest daughter has her own house and is planning to sell it.
But the Zhou family's place is too remote, and everyone in the team wants to move out. There is no one to buy it, so if it is not sold, it will be left idle.
Liu Shengguang wanted to rent or buy it and use it as an oil mill.
Wan Feng rejected it immediately because the place was too small and there was no room for expansion.
The production team of Zhoujia Team at that time was different from other teams. It was built in the middle of the village, with houses all around it, and there was no potential for development at all.
What can be done with this clicking sound?
After the first plan was rejected, Liu Shengguang came up with a second plan.
Wan Feng expressed satisfaction with his second place.
The second place is the courtyard of the old brigade headquarters of Huanghui Village.
The Huanghui Village Committee moved to Guanghui Village not far from here last year, and this place has become idle.
The reason why Wan Feng was satisfied was that the yard was very large, and there were some houses that looked a bit dilapidated now, with a total of more than 30 houses.
There used to be a village-run industry in this yard, but it later went bankrupt, leaving only these empty houses.
These houses can be reused after some cleaning.
The biggest advantage here is the convenient transportation. This yard is located at a three-way intersection. Behind the yard is the north road of Wuhei Highway leading to Heijiao Township. On the right is the south road that leads to Heijiao Township. There is a huge pond in front.
The first two forks of the three-way fork lead to Heijiao Township, and the last fork of course leads west to Wulu Township. Dashutun is just over a mile away from here.
After passing Dashutun, it is Xiaoshutun, which is only three or four miles away.
"Let's go here. This place is nice. It's bright and spacious, with a big yard and convenient transportation. Find someone to clean up these houses and make concrete floors. It would be best if the yards were also concreted so that it would be convenient for drying the beans."
“But what about the equipment?”
"You can buy it at the Wahou Industrial Market. They're guaranteed to have oil-pressing equipment for sale there. Ideally, you'll want the kind with a reduction gear and an electric motor. It uses a bit more electricity, but it saves labor. Once the house is cleaned up and the equipment is installed, I estimate it'll be autumn, and you can harvest the soybeans when they're ready. You'll probably have to use half of these houses to store them."
Hundreds of thousands of pounds of beans really require some houses to store them.
"Come to the Nanwan factory tomorrow to get my money. I'll give you 50,000 upfront to clean up the house, prepare the ground, and buy equipment. I'll give you another 50,000 when you harvest the beans. If it's not enough, we'll talk later."
The main cost is collecting beans. If we really collect 500,000 kilograms of beans, it will probably cost 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. Now the price of beans is at least 14 or 15 cents, even if it doesn't reach 20 cents.
"Oh, by the way, how is your wife now?"
"I can now work in the fields. I really have to thank you for this. My wife said that without you, she wouldn't exist. She has always wanted to thank you in person."
"I've already told you, it's nothing. Don't worry about it. It's just a small matter. The important thing is that it's over. Don't let your wife do too much hard work in the future. A woman's body is different from a man's and is very delicate!"
"I understand, Wan Feng! Do you think this oil mill can make money? I'm always feeling uneasy."
Wan Fengbai glanced at him and said, "Why isn't he making any money? Haven't you thought this through in the past two months?"
Liu Shengguang scratched his head: "There's no oil mill nearby, so I'm not asking too clearly."
"Then let's talk about it. How much is a pound of beans now?"
"About 15 to 20 cents. Last year it was 13 cents. I think it will go up a bit this year."
"Even if it's two cents, have you ever asked how much soybean oil is produced from a pound of beans?"
"If it's processed well, you can get about one and a half ounces of oil. If it's not processed well, you'll get less than that."
"How much can one and a half ounces of soybean oil sell for?"
Liu Shengguang's eyes were dizzy.
Wan Feng was so angry that he wanted to slap him in the face. "Do you even need a kaba eye?" A pound of soybean oil costs 1.5 yuan, and an ounce and a half is a little over 20 cents.
This guy probably gave back all the knowledge he learned to his teacher as soon as he left school.
"It's also more than 20 cents."
“Isn’t this a break-even point?”
"But how am I going to make money? This is all for nothing!"
Wan Feng was almost irritated. "Don't we have bean cakes? Besides the oil, doesn't a pound of beans also give us seven or eight ounces of bean cakes? If the oil breaks even, then the bean cakes are all extra profit. Isn't that money?"
Even though bean cakes are not expensive, only a few cents per pound, there are still a lot of them.
In fact, there is another way to make money by running an oil mill, which is to cheat.
They say it's unbelievable if the alcohol seller doesn't add water.
Those who sell wine can add water, and those who sell oil can of course add other things.
Don't count on the water. Even if you add it in, there will be two layers, upper and lower. People who understand can see it at once.
If adding water doesn’t work, you can add oil. You can add some rapeseed oil and sell it anyway.
Rapeseed oil is much cheaper than soybean oil, but it also has its own characteristics. Rapeseed oil is green, and if you add too much soybean oil, it will turn green, and the smoke will be very strong.
Those who know the business can see it, but those who don’t will be confused.
Wan Feng didn't tell this to Liu Shengguang. In principle, he still didn't want Liu Shengguang to forge the information.
But just because he didn't say it doesn't mean Liu Shengguang won't do it in the future.
The more you do business, the more dishonest and unscrupulous you become. It is not certain that Liu Shengguang will not be a dishonest businessman in the future.
"But who are we going to sell the bean cakes to? Who could possibly want so many bean cakes?"
But even if we harvest 500,000 kilograms of beans, we will have more than 300,000 kilograms of bean cakes, and it will be a problem to sell them all.
"You can use bean cakes to raise pigs. There's a fish pond right in front of here, probably over 20 mu. You can raise fish in the pond and feed them with pig manure. I calculated that one mu of pond only has enough manure for three pigs. This pond is enough for you to raise 60 pigs. When the pigs and fish sell, you can also sell them. Wouldn't that increase your income? It's a virtuous cycle."
I raised fish in the pond for a few years, but later I saw that it was not interesting, so I cut it down.
When we were raising fish, we fed them pig manure, and grass carp and silver carp prefer to eat manure.
"Is this okay?"
"Why not? There will be so many pig farmers in the future. Are you still worried about selling your few bean cakes?"
With Wan Feng's encouragement, Liu Shengguang felt more confident.
"You can work in the oil mill first. After a few years, when you have enough money, you can switch to the feed business."
This is the way to get rich that Wan Feng designed for Liu Shengguang.
Jiangwei is close to the sea, so fish meal and other things are not scarce. It is also a corn-producing area, so it is not difficult to source the main ingredients for feed. By adding some chemical raw materials, qualified feed can be produced.
Since Liu Shengguang is not cut out for industry, he can work in agriculture and still make a fortune.
"Then I'll contact the cadres of Huanghui Village right away to rent this place, and then find a bricklayer to clean up the house."
After Liu Shengguang finished speaking, he went to find the village cadres of Huanghui Village.
