Chapter 558 Reunion for Mid-Autumn Festival
After August 20th, Guo Shouye, who had gone to Yunnan Province for an inspection, finally returned.
Upon learning that Sheng Xiping needed to speak with him, Guo Shouye immediately called Sheng Xiping.
"Hey bro, I've been away for a while now and just got back. I heard from the people in the office that you were looking for me? When did you get back from out of town?"
"Brother, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone all the way to Yunnan to look for you."
"The Russians have increased their orders for cola concentrate; they want two thousand tons this time."
These past few days, Alexander has been constantly pressing for orders, and Sheng Xiping is extremely anxious because he can't find Guo Shouye.
"What the heck? Two thousand tons? My God, why do they need so much?" Guo Shouye was also very surprised when he heard this.
Two thousand tons of concentrate, diluted with water at a ratio of one to five, would amount to approximately twelve thousand tons.
If it's plastic packaging, one ton can be filled into 2,000 bottles; if it's aluminum cans, it will be even more.
Twelve thousand tons, how many bottles is that? Do Russians not eat or drink water, just drink Coke?
Sheng Xiping had already intended to do so, so he agreed.
Sheng Xiping didn't necessarily want to invest in this flooring factory. To be honest, the company's current businesses already generate a considerable annual profit.
People abroad pay attention to color schemes and tones; I think we could try collaborating on that.
Because of poor performance and the inability to continue operating, they eventually switched to making flooring. Therefore, this flooring factory project is definitely not a problem.
"You're going to invest in building a flooring factory again? Does the bureau have enough funds?"
Guo Shouye isn't stupid; would he just let the meat right in front of him go to waste?
"Brother, I see. I'll arrange production first. Are you free tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping glanced at Xu Shiyan, who was chatting and laughing with Sun Shirong, and immediately smiled.
Although the profit from the concentrate is less, such a large order still yields a high profit margin.
It's not really their fault, after all, that area has both heavy and light industries.
Two thousand tons of cola concentrate sounds like a lot, but with two factories operating simultaneously, it's not too much of a problem.
In Sheng Xiping's memory, the most famous flooring factory in Songjianghe was Jinlong Wood Industry, whose Diwang flooring was exported overseas and was considered a well-known brand in the area.
After much conversation, the topic turned to Guo Shouye and his team's recent trip to Yunnan Province for an inspection tour. It turned out that their purpose was to establish a flooring factory.
Not only the concentrate, but the Russians also want 10,000 Coca-Cola machines and 50,000 carbon dioxide cylinders.
That evening, Guo Shouye booked a table at the VIP building of the Songlin Hotel and invited Sheng Xiping, Xu Shiyan, Sun Shirong, the head of the Forestry Bureau, as well as Zhao Guangning, Chen Weimin, and others.
"Brother, this is just this batch of orders. Next batch, they want three thousand tons," Sheng Xiping said helplessly on the other end of the phone.
Today, Bingshan Beverage Factory has two factories, one in Songjianghe and the other in Quanyang. The one in Quanyang is larger and is now managed by Guo Shouye's son.
Upon hearing this, Sun Shirong and the others were stunned. Yes, they had almost finished negotiating with the other side in Dalian.
"Brother Xiping, you also started out in the timber business, what do you think of this idea? Is it feasible?"
Russia has fallen so low that it even needs to import steel cylinders.
The Songjianghe Forestry Bureau's joint ventures with foreign investors, such as Hansong Wood Industry, Jingsong Wood Industry, and Fusong Wood Industry, initially produced products like plywood and blinds.
Sheng Xiping originally didn't intend to get involved in this matter, but when he thought of his parents' worried expressions, he couldn't help but mention it.
"President Sheng has traveled all over the country and is also engaged in import and export business, so his vision is naturally excellent."
The cost of producing these goods is too high; they can't even keep up with import costs.
If you're free, bro, how about I organize a get-together for the brothers tonight?
Since General Manager Sheng has said this flooring factory is a good idea, General Manager Xu, what do you think about our bureau investing in this project?
Although Sun Shirong was chatting, he kept a close eye on the conversation between Sheng Xiping and Guo Shouye.
With that, Guo Shouye hung up the phone and immediately arranged production tasks.
Sheng Xiping raised an eyebrow, looked at Xu Shiyan, and said this on purpose.
The Songjianghe Forestry Bureau and Donggang No. 1 Ginseng Farm have had a cooperative relationship for many years. Since Sun Shirong brought it up, the other party naturally couldn't refuse, so they agreed to consider the cooperation.
After meeting him, he learned that Director Xu was now the general manager of the ginseng company, which was why Sheng Xiping called him General Manager Xu.
They were all old acquaintances, so they were very friendly as soon as they met. Everyone sat down to chat, laugh, and talk about everything under the sun.
Later, many more flooring factories emerged in Songjianghe, such as Jinqiao Wood Industry and Huasong Wood Industry, all of which made this kind of flooring.
If we invest 2.4 million over there, the flooring factory here won't have that much capital. What should we do?
"Mr. Xu, how about we cooperate?"
Our factory also exports furniture, so we can match it with other products.
"My God, such a huge production volume! You wait and see, I'll contact people right away to open more production lines. We must guarantee the orders."
Guo Shouye still had many things to discuss with Sheng Xiping, but it wasn't convenient to talk about them over the phone. Besides, he needed to quickly arrange production tasks, so he wanted to meet up in the evening.
In the past, they often opened production lines regardless of cost. This was acceptable during wartime, but in peacetime, it was a huge waste.
"Director Sun, I heard that our bureau is planning to invest 2.4 million yuan to buy a ship with Dalian Shipbuilding Company."
"Brother, with President Xu's idea, what are you still hesitating about? This project is fine, we can invest."
