When it comes to business, Feng Haidong is very decisive and efficient.
Especially since this involves the crayfish market, he dared not be negligent at all.
After all, if a complete distribution channel cannot be established as soon as possible, the excessive amount of crayfish farmed in the summer over the next few years may indeed cause my brother-in-law and the villagers to lose money.
Of course, Feng Haidong also had another option: to open more branches.
But he doesn't plan to do that for the time being.
Firstly, doing so would require tying up a lot of funds.
Secondly, Feng Haidong is currently unable to find enough manpower to help him open branch stores.
So, after much thought, Feng Haidong decided that he should first expand the market for crayfish supply, at least by seizing the market in some surrounding cities, including the provincial capital.
After that, regardless of whether we open branches in those cities, we will definitely not lose money by raising crayfish.
So after lunch, Feng Haidong, his father, younger brother, brother-in-law, and Liang Cong went out together and headed straight to the village.
Upon arriving in the village, thanks to Feng Chungu's intervention, they were naturally greeted by the villagers.
Instead of going to the village chief's house first, Feng Haidong and his group went to check out the fish farm in the village river and the crayfish in the rice paddies.
It must be said that the village has made quite a few preparations.
With Liang Cong's technical support, the village has been able to successfully develop both fish and shrimp farming.
Seeing the situation in the village, Feng Haidong was truly delighted.
Judging from the current situation, it won't be long before the fish in the village can be caught again.
At that time, Feng Haidong's grilled fish shop will no longer need to source fish from Liang Cong's hometown; it can directly obtain supplies from the village, forming a complete closed loop.
The fact that crayfish are being raised in rice paddies is even more exciting for Liang Cong.
"Haha, I knew it would work! I've always wanted to experiment in our area, but my dad always says I'm not doing my job properly. Haidong, thank you so much! Thank you, village chief, for giving me this opportunity. Oh, and you must remember to raise the ridges and keep the water level up."
The village chief smiled and said, "We all know that, and everyone will follow your instructions, Technician Liang."
Liang Cong nodded: "Yes, yes, the weather is getting warmer now. If the water level is not high enough, the water temperature will be too high when the sun shines on it, and the crayfish will die. So the water level must be guaranteed."
Liang Cong then gave a detailed explanation to several households in the village that were raising shrimp, and checked the condition of their shrimp.
Then, some people were asked to catch the shrimp that were available for fishing.
"For these large shrimp, you can pinch the tail. If it feels plump inside, you can start catching them. Although these aren't the biggest, the meat of these shrimp is very firm and they are still very good."
The farmers all diligently followed Liang Cong to learn.
Meanwhile, Feng Chungu and Feng Haidong had already spoken with the village chief about promoting crayfish.
Feng Haidong spoke frankly to the village chief: "Brother Shumin, I won't stand on ceremony with you. The reason I came back this time is to select a few smart and capable young people from the village to go with Haiwen to other cities and promote our crayfish."
Village chief Feng Shumin was somewhat surprised: "Haidong, weren't the crayfish supposed to be supplied to you?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Brother Shumin, my stores don't need such a large quantity, but now my stores have become famous in the provincial capital. I believe that soon the surrounding cities will also start eating crayfish. So we need to seize the market in advance and let our farmed crayfish occupy the market."
Upon hearing Feng Haidong's explanation, the village chief immediately understood.
"Oh, I see. Haidong, you want our village to make money from these crayfish, right?"
Feng Haidong nodded with a smile: "That's right, we need to make more money. If you all sell to me, you'll definitely be embarrassed to ask me for a high price. So I'm helping the village find new sales channels. Then everyone in the village can make money, right? With more money, the village can also repair the roads in the future, and then every family can renovate their house."
Upon hearing this, village chief Feng Shumin was overjoyed.
What do the villagers look forward to the most?
That must mean they can build roads, so that it will be easier for villagers to go out.
Another benefit is the ability to renovate the entire house.
In fact, in the past two years, some of the bolder villagers have already gone out to earn money and come back to renovate their houses.
It would be impossible for other people in the village not to be envious.
Many people even harbored some jealousy.
If Feng Haidong can lead the whole village to make money now, and then repair the village roads and allow every family in the village to renovate their houses, it will truly make the whole village incredibly happy.
Seeing the village chief's very happy expression, Feng Haidong couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In the past, at this time, the county and town would have been actively trying to attract investment from outside and making great efforts to develop township enterprises.
However, Feng Haidong knew that after its initial success, the company soon went downhill.
The once beautiful village suffered a deterioration of its environment for a long time due to the presence of that company.
If we wait a few more years, it may be difficult for Feng Haidong to advance his fish and shrimp farming projects.
Because the existence of that company at that time would cause serious environmental pollution.
The fish in the river, and even the shrimp raised in the rice paddies, may be polluted to varying degrees.
Fortunately, things haven't reached that point yet, and Feng Haidong seized the opportunity.
Now that he had seized this opportunity, Feng Haidong felt he couldn't let it slip away and was determined to make crayfish and fish farming a success in the village as soon as possible.
In this way, once the village achieves results, the town and county will take notice.
At that time, they might even receive some corresponding support.
After learning about Feng Haidong's idea, the village chief quickly sent someone to call over several young men from the village.
After the young people arrived, the village chief introduced them one by one.
"Haidong, these kids all went to junior high school, and those two kids went to high school, but they didn't do well on the exams, so they didn't continue their studies."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Brother Shumin, don't say anything."
Then Feng Haidong asked, "Please introduce yourselves first."
Hearing Feng Haidong ask this question, the young people were a little confused.
However, the two young men, who had just graduated from high school, quickly realized what was happening.
"Oh, my name is Feng Shujian. I'm 20 years old this year. I graduated from high school and now I'm farming and raising shrimp at home with my dad. I also want to go out to work, but my mom is not in good health. I'm afraid that if I leave, my dad won't be able to manage on his own, so I haven't gone yet."
After listening to Feng Shujian's self-introduction, Feng Haidong immediately developed a certain appreciation for the young man.
