"Calling all farmers in the city to plant sunflowers, peanuts, and walnuts?" Zhou Wenyi asked him.

Xia Zekai nodded with a smile and said: "In fact, not only sunflowers, peanuts and walnuts, but also almonds, pistachios, pecans, etc. can be planted in the right place here. As long as they can be planted, I

Guaranteed to purchase at a price higher than the market price.”

Zhou Wenyi's brows furrowed into three grooves, and he asked: "What is pistachio? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Leader, pistachios are pistachios and can be successfully grafted with Pistacia chinensis. We also have great advantages." Xia Zekai explained.

After the company launched new dried fruits, he also learned and understood a lot of uncommon knowledge in this area.

Zhou Wenyi just didn't understand this aspect, and was commonly known as being out of touch.

He was puzzled: "Aren't almonds, pistachios and pecans from overseas?"

Xia Zekai said 'hmm': "The country of origin is indeed foreign, but it has been introduced to our country for many years and can be grown in many places. However, dried fruits such as cashew nuts and macadamia nuts have different environment and climate here.

It’s suitable for planting.”

"I didn't notice, but you have done a lot of homework." Zhou Wenyi looked at Xia Zekai, and the smile on his face became brighter.

This also shows from another aspect that Xia Zekai is really determined to purchase these raw materials from the local area for further processing. He is really doing things, rather than just talking about things. This is a good sign.

The main theme of the meeting at the beginning of this year was to help farmers and support production, adjust the agricultural industry structure based on market demand, strengthen the construction of agricultural infrastructure and rural people's livelihood projects, and promote farmers' income increase through multiple channels.

Xia Zekai's request was grand and aboveboard, in line with the purpose of this year's meeting, and even exceeded it.

From this aspect, Zhou Wenyi admired him very much. Only then did he get to know Xia Zekai better and realized that he was even more extraordinary!

"Leader, I also want to enrich the pockets of the people of our city." Xia Zekai said with a smile.

He said: "To be honest, I am also a child who came out of the countryside. I have a more personal experience of how hard the people in the countryside are. If I can have this opportunity to help them, I will be happy to contribute a small amount.

.”

Zhou Wenyi was not daunted by his "high-sounding" words. He was now the lord of Qi City, and he had to consider far more aspects than outsiders imagined.

He couldn't just rely on Xia Zekai's words to call on the two million people in the city to plant almonds, pistachios and pecans that had never been planted before. He couldn't even just rely on Xia Zekai's gimmick to guide

The common people went to plant melon seeds, peanuts and walnuts, which are dried fruits that are very mature in China. Ultimately, he has to be responsible for the millions of common people in Qicheng.

"Boss Xia, have you made this suggestion to Comrade Liu Changhong?" Zhou Wenyi asked.

Xia Zekai has been working in Qicheng for more than three years, while Liu Changhong has been working in Qicheng for far longer than three years. This is also a concern for him.

Internally, they all retain their own political opinions, but they also have their own persistence.

Xia Zekai shook his head: "I haven't told Secretary Liu yet."

"Why?" Zhou Wenyi frowned even deeper.

Xia Zekai said matter-of-factly: "Leader, you are worrying too much!"

When Li Mumu saw the water boiling, he made a pot of tea, poured it for Zhou Wenyi and Xia Zekai, and then sat aside and waited.

Xia Zekai extended his hand to Zhou Wenyi and said, "My friend got this tea from Fucheng. Let me try it."

Seeing Zhou Wenyi holding the cup and drinking tea, he continued: "Before this year, our company had no plans to make dried fruits. How could I tell Comrade Liu Changhong."

"Is that so?" Zhou Wenyi was thinking about this question in his mind, but he did not ask it again.

Xia Zekai looked at Zhou Wenyi and didn't express his position. He thought for a moment and roughly understood what Zhou Wenyi was thinking. He didn't blame him. After all, his request itself was a bit outrageous.

He continued: "Leader, may I take you to see our second phase project?"

"Let's go!" Zhou Wenyi is a man of action and will leave as soon as he says it.

The three people stood up and walked out. Li Mumu led the way. Xia Zekai and Zhou Wenyi walked side by side. From time to time, he introduced the company's situation to Zhou Wenyi and talked about the second phase project.

It was not far away. After walking here, Xia Zekai said to him: "Boss, look at this area. This is our second phase construction project. There are nearly 46 acres of land in the west and about 62 acres in the north.

acres of land, we will build factories in these two areas. After completion, the wall between the first and second phase factories will be opened, and then this area will form a large-scale production plant with a total scale of 100,000 square meters.

.”

"Moreover, we will use half of the second phase of the project to produce dried fruits." Xia Zekai continued.

After hearing what he said, the expression on Zhou Wenyi's face changed a little, but not much.

Such a place was not enough to move him to call on the people below Qicheng to switch from growing food to growing cash crops.

There are too many things involved here.

Xia Zekai glanced at him and said: "In addition to this second-phase construction project, we also entrusted a third party to help us negotiate the acquisition of a local bankrupt company in Qicheng, 'Yixin Food Factory'. This company also used to make dried fruits.

Yes, it has reached the final stage of negotiation. As long as the negotiation is successful, we will pay to take over the factory to Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. at any time, and transform the equipment as soon as possible to produce our dried fruits."

This time, the expression on Zhou Wenyi's face changed significantly. His eyes narrowed and he looked thoughtful.

Xia Zekai stopped talking this time and paused for a moment. Zhou Wenyi asked him: "Boss Xia, are you so sure that the dried fruits you produce will be very popular in the market?"

"Leader, let me put it this way, our company will spend 1 billion yuan this year to acquire at least 1,000 stores across the country. This plan will be led by me, and our company's property asset management manager Guo Ying will personally be responsible for the implementation. The plan is to

It will be completed within the year, and all the self-purchased shops will be used as shops for the 'Jingtong Baby' offline direct chain store."

"By that time, let alone the current output, we can easily digest the output of more than ten times even if we increase it seven to eight times."

"And this is only our offline sales part." Xia Zekai said here, paused for a while, and continued: "Our company also has online sales channels and terminal sales channels. Because of the serious lack of current production capacity, we have

The sales channels have never been distributed.”

"The leaders don't know that the customer service of our online Jingtong Taobao store has been urged by our store's loyal fans to put dried fruits on the shelves. But we don't have such a large output now, so we didn't agree. But as long as the acquired factory is in place,

After that, we will start working with all our strength and allocate half of the production to online sales."

"There is such a thing!" Zhou Wenyi remained silent, but there was no doubt in his heart.

He had already seen some of the examples Xia Zekai just mentioned from the information, but he didn't understand them in detail. Now when he heard Xia Zekai narrate them in person, he had an idea.

It seems that it would be a good choice to use part of the experimental fields in the lower border counties of Qicheng to cultivate dried fruits.

According to his understanding, Qicheng currently has 4,177 square kilometers of agricultural land, of which 2,097 square kilometers are agricultural land, 1,043 square kilometers of forest land, 587 square kilometers of orchards, and 450 square kilometers of other agricultural land.

square kilometer.

In addition, Qicheng still has 586 square kilometers of unused land.

Zhou Wenyi's thoughts suddenly focused on these lands.

Xia Zekai said 'hmm', but it was not over yet. He continued: "Our company has also acquired a piece of land with a total area of ​​157,000 square meters in Chengnan Town. The plan there is to use it entirely for the production of dried fruits.

, the total investment of the entire project is 300 million yuan. Leader, our Jingtong Development Company has spent all our wealth and life this time just to cope with the huge sales volume that is about to come."

"Just now there was a property investment of 1 billion yuan, and now there is a construction investment of 300 million yuan, which adds up to 1.3 billion yuan. Are you under financial pressure?" Zhou Wenyi expressed his goodwill in a timely manner.

Xia Zekai hesitated again and again, but still said: "For the time being, we can still hold on, but we will definitely need loans later, which will inevitably cause trouble for the leaders."

He doesn't want a loan now, it's not time yet.

Moreover, Zhou Wenyi has just arrived in Qicheng and is not familiar with many places. It would be better to wait until he is familiar with it before asking him for help.

This group of people down there are just looking for food.

"Well, in principle, our government fully supports the development of local enterprises, especially those enterprises that are in line with the national development direction and strategic plan. We will also focus on increasing farmers' pockets through deep processing of agricultural and sideline products.

consider."

"In the next step, I personally hope that there will be more companies like Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. in Qicheng that will bravely assume social responsibilities, help those in need solve poverty problems, and contribute to society and national development.

Achieve common prosperity..."

Zhou Wenyi said some clichés, but Xia Zekai still heard some useful information from his words.

He understood that Zhou Wenyi finally heard it from his heart.

This May Day, Xia Zekai was not able to go out for a walk, but judging from the current results, it was worth it!

"Boss, I know there is a restaurant that cooks authentic local dishes. Are you free?" Xia Zekai asked him.

Li Mumu next to him heard his boss openly ‘inviting’ Zhou Wenyi to dinner. He quickly moved a few steps to the side and sealed his ears with telekinesis.

Don't listen to anything inappropriate, he didn't hear anything.
Chapter completed!
