The next day, Cao Shujie summoned the company's managers again and asked them if they had watched the evening news on the provincial TV station's satellite channel last night.
A group of people must have nodded and said they had seen it. Not only had they seen that piece of news, they had also watched it many times, and even recorded the video on their mobile phones and studied it over and over again.
When Cao Shujie asked them to discuss their opinions on the news content, everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and they were particularly positive.
Cao Shujie's assistant He Ruijia was nearby and carefully took notes. She organized all these suggestions and later studied suggestions that were really beneficial to the development of Xuemeng Food Factory.
In addition to this, they now have to wait for the province to issue specific policy plans. At this time, they are studying countermeasures mainly because they want to have a head start.
As the children's theme park and Mengmeng Orchard reopened in Caojiazhuang, Cao Jianlong and the others started to get busy.
All the people in the village were resurrected with full blood.
There are those who set up stalls, and there are those who do not set up stalls. Those who do not set up stalls join Caojiazhuang Tourism Company at this time and become one of them. Although they do not earn as much as those who set up stalls, these people can also get wages.
, and bonuses.
The key point is that this is only part of their income. They also have dividends from two cooperatives. They live a happy life without any pressure on them.
There are a total of 67 natural villages in Qingshi Town, and the other 66 villages, including Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang, are all envious of the people of Caojiazhuang!
But they had no choice. They knew from the beginning that there was no capable person like Cao Shujie in their village. It was already good that they could become rich together with Caojiazhuang, who had become rich first.
For example, the entire Qingshi Town grows kiwis and apples, and most of these fruits flow into Xuemeng Food Factory.
However, Xuemeng Food Factory did not take the opportunity to lower the price. Instead, they paid whatever the market price was. This also allowed the people who planted orchards to get real benefits.
Although they do not earn as much as the three villages participating in the agricultural planting cooperative, they are already very good compared to fruit growers in other places.
The first quarter of 2018 is coming to an end, and even these ordinary people are aware that there is a problem in the market. When they go to buy fruits, they find that many fruits are not expensive.
In the past, if this happened, these fruit farmers would start to get anxious, because the prices of fruits sold to mass consumers could not go up. Those who grow fruits like them and sell them in bulk should not expect the prices to be too high.
If it is high, there may even be situations where no one acquires it.
Now that there is Xuemeng Food Factory, they don't have to worry about this problem at all.
Everyone also hopes that Xuemeng Food Factory will get better and better.
They did not realize that Xuemeng Food Factory's recent market sales had also shrunk.
Seeing that the tourism industry in Caojiazhuang has recovered, people in other villages are envious and they also set up stalls. Although they cannot enter the core tourist area of Caojiazhuang to set up stalls, they can set up stalls around Caojiazhuang and pick up the slack.
You can earn one or two hundred yuan in a day, and you can earn three or four hundred yuan when business is good.
No matter how much you have, you are guaranteed to earn four to five thousand yuan a month.
I am in the countryside, and I don’t have any big purchases. I can usually eat steamed buns and grow vegetables at home. There are not many places to spend money. I can earn four to five thousand in the countryside and four to five thousand when I go to work in the city.
They are two completely different concepts.
…
On this day, Liu Guoqiang, Cao Shuchao, and Cao Jianlong were discussing the integrated drip irrigation transformation of the orchards of the Caojiazhuang Agricultural Planting Cooperative.
The orchards were already using a first-generation nutrient solution, and it was only after March that they became more aware of the value of the nutrient solution.
Looking at the obviously thick fruit trees, the leaves that gradually turn into dark green, as well as the well-developed root system and the snow-white flowers, Cao Jianlong and other old fruit farmers who often work with fruit trees understand that this is a sign of adequate nutrition.
Although we still don’t know what the final fruit of these fruit trees will be, this performance has already made Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang, and Cao Shuchao excited.
They feel that relying on manual spraying of nutrient solution as currently is too inefficient.
In addition, according to the propaganda given to them by Tong Jiayi from Xuemeng Food Factory, it is best to use drip irrigation to continuously provide the first-generation nutrient solution. The one-time dosage can be smaller, but it cannot be stopped.
They also took this into consideration. They could not achieve continuous water supply solely by manual labor, so they considered installing drip irrigation equipment.
This matter must be discussed with Cao Shujie.
In addition, they all know that drip irrigation equipment has been installed in Cao Shujie's orchard for a long time. From an objective point of view, they feel that Cao Shujie has rich experience in this area, and they came to him for discussion because they want to learn from his experience.
In addition, as it involves more than 5,000 acres of land in the three villages of Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang, and Taodong Village, a meeting of all villagers must be held to explain to everyone what is going on and where the money is going to be spent.
It was only when they came to look for Cao Shujie that they realized he was not at home.
Cao Jianguo was staying with his grandson at home. He didn't know when his son would come back, so he said to Cao Jianlong: "Brother Jianlong, if you have something urgent, just call Shujie."
"Then I'll call him and ask." Cao Jianlong really wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.
When Cao Jianlong called Cao Shujie, he found out that Cao Shujie was on his way back to Caojiazhuang.
Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao didn't leave either, so they were waiting at Cao Shujie's house.
Cao Jianguo brought some chairs and a folding table and made tea.
Before finishing the bottle, Cao Shujie and Mengmeng came in together.
"Uncle Long, what's the urgent matter?" Cao Shujie came over and asked him.
Mengmeng also called Grandpa obediently, and then ran into the room to do her homework.
Cao Jianlong and Liu Guoqiang looked at each other, and Liu Guoqiang said: "Brother Jianlong, please tell me."
"Shujie, what's going on? We want to install drip irrigation equipment in the orchards of the agricultural planting cooperative to better spray the first-generation nutrient solution. What do you think?" Cao Jianlong expressed his idea.
He also told Cao Shujie about this matter and that he was currently discussing it with Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao. He had not yet discussed it with the people in Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang, and he had not yet solicited the opinions of the people in the village.
It turned out that this was the case. He told the three of them: "Uncle Long, this suggestion you made is very good. I personally agree with it."
Cao Jianlong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but Cao Shujie continued to tell them: "I think this matter must be made clear to all the people, because this thing costs a lot of money."
Hearing the tone of Cao Shujie's words, Cao Jianlong and the others also became cautious, and then heard Cao Shujie continue: "Uncle Long, I don't know if you have thought about a problem. This is not just about installing drip irrigation equipment, but also about water.
That's fine, and the drip irrigation equipment must be installed next to the waterway to ensure that it has continuous water all year round. Taking the orchard of more than 2,000 acres of land in our village as an example, I suggest that we divide the area well and drill at least two wells in each area, so that
If so, you need to install a double-head sprinkler irrigation device, and this cost must also be taken into account.”
He told Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao: "I must have spent thirty or forty thousand to dig a well in the mountain. I have forgotten the specific details."
"In addition, we need to build a house around the well, put the water tank and pump of the drip irrigation equipment inside, and take safety measures. This cost must also be taken into account."
Cao Jianlong nodded repeatedly and asked Cao Shujie how much the drip irrigation equipment cost.
"I forgot the specific details. I remember that the cost for one acre of land was more than 4,000 yuan." Cao Shujie said this.
It's been so long that I can't remember it so clearly.
He also told Cao Jianlong and others: "I made this set of equipment in 2011, and the price is definitely different from the current price. If we really want to do it, I suggest inviting bids."
His equipment has undergone a second transformation, which cost a lot of money and was troublesome.
According to Cao Shujie's understanding, the latest drip irrigation equipment is already very advanced, but the price is also higher. It is better to find a new supplier for bidding.
Cao Jianlong and the others heard Cao Shujie talk about the price of modifying the drip irrigation equipment in his orchard, and they knew what was going on.
In 2011, one acre of land cost more than 4,000 yuan, and now the price is definitely higher.
"Uncle Long, I suggest you call over the leaders of the village committees of Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang first and give them some advice. If they all agree, you can invite bids together. If they don't agree, Caojiazhuang will hold a village meeting of its own, and we will
Do it." Cao Shujie was not entangled in this matter, and he said it simply and neatly.
Cao Jianlong and Liu Guoqiang nodded almost at the same time: "Okay, then we will do this later."
Cao Shuchao sighed beside him, the gap between them and Cao Shujie was really big.
They thought this was a big deal, but Cao Shujie filled in all the details for them in just a few words.
Cao Shujie still wanted to keep them at home to have some food, but Cao Jianlong and the other three wanted to get this done quickly and told Cao Shujie that they would call Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian now to discuss what to do next.
"Okay, just call me during the meeting," Cao Shujie said.
Cao Shujie will definitely participate in this kind of meeting that involves the interests of all villagers.
Cao Jianlong also knew this, nodded to Cao Shujie in response, and left Cao Shujie's house.
As soon as he came out, Cao Jianlong called Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei and asked them to bring all the village committee members to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee Office Building to discuss important matters.
Hearing that Cao Shujie was also going to attend this meeting, Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei did not hesitate at all. Even though it was already past 4 o'clock, they hurried to Caojiazhuang.
Half an hour later, Cao Jianlong called Cao Shujie and told him that the village committee leaders of the two villages had arrived. It was almost 5 o'clock. Cao Shujie did not hesitate and told his father and grandfather to let them have dinner in the evening.
Without waiting for him, he rode his electric bike to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee Office Building.
At this time, the village committee leaders of the three villages were already waiting in the conference room. More than a dozen people gathered together to talk and laugh, and some were puffing away smoke.
But when they saw Cao Shujie coming in, several people who were smoking subconsciously put their cigarettes in the ashtray nearby and poured some water to put them out.
Cao Shujie felt like laughing when he saw this scene: "It's okay, just suck it."
"Ahem!" Zhuang Xuejian, a long-time smoker, coughed a few times and said, "I don't know what's going on, but my throat hurts when I smoke recently, so I stopped smoking."
After Cao Jianlong saw it from the side, he thought to himself how thick-skinned this old guy was, that he could actually say such things.
Just now he smoked harder than anyone else.
But the old smokers were smart enough not to answer the question at this time.
After Cao Shujie sat down, the meeting basically started.
Cao Jianlong had just told them the purpose of today's meeting. After Cao Shujie sat down, he explained the matter again in detail.
"We discussed with the leader Tong Jiayi of Xuemeng Food Factory who makes a bag of nutrient solution. He suggested that we install drip irrigation equipment so that we can more accurately control the amount of nutrient solution and maximize the nutrient solution.
It can also save the amount of nutrient solution." Cao Jianlong said.
In addition, Cao Jianlong also told everyone about the advantages of using integrated drip irrigation equipment.
But he also gave an approximate cost.
"If we install integrated drip irrigation equipment, we will have to dig wells and build huts, which will cost a lot," Cao Jianlong said.
Zhu Hongwei asked him: "Old Cao, can you tell me how much it will cost?"
But Cao Jianlong couldn't tell, so he still looked at Cao Shujie: "Secretary Cao's orchard was equipped with integrated drip irrigation equipment in 2011. Why don't we listen to Secretary Cao's suggestions."
More than a dozen people looked at Cao Shujie.
After Cao Jianlong and the others left, Cao Shujie actually checked the account records of that year, and also specifically looked at the price of installing drip irrigation equipment at that time. When Cao Jianlong mentioned this matter again, Cao Shujie took out a piece of paper and told them: "I
At that time, I asked Xia Changhong, the owner of Changhong Building Materials and Hardware Store in the county, to install automatic sprinkler irrigation equipment for me. In 2011, I spent a total of 210,000 yuan on 57 acres of land, with an average of 3,684 yuan per acre."
"Later, I asked Chen Lei to do an integrated drip irrigation renovation for me. The renovation cost 30,000 yuan for 57 acres of land. Calculated based on this price, I spent more than 4,300 yuan per acre of land at that time."
"However, the land I contracted later was integrated with sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation, and the complete installation of drip irrigation equipment cost 4,000 yuan per acre, which was lower than the cost of my first installation and renovation. Of course, it took too long.
, you only use this number as a reference."
"In addition, I hired Han Dingping to dig the well. I think some of you may know him. I spent a total of 32,000 yuan on digging the well. I hired Grandpa Cao Zhenggang to build the house for the well and drip irrigation equipment. This amount does not count.
"More." Cao Shujie said.
When Cao Shujie said this, the cost was very clear.
Cao Jianlong and the others nodded repeatedly. Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian have been recording. They will study it after they return and report the data to the people in the village. (End of this chapter)
