In Ayireti's yard, Chu Tianyao took out the plan that he had shown to Director Harrick in front of everyone.
In the plan, Chu Tianyao perfectly described the bright prospects of hop planting.
According to Chu Tianyao, the cost of a few yuan per kilogram of hops can even increase tenfold in the next ten years, reaching tens of thousands of yuan per mu.
You know, a household worth ten thousand yuan is not a big deal in Western Xinjiang, but one acre of land can generate an income of tens of thousands yuan, which is not bad.
After listening to Chu Tianyao's words, everyone present had hot eyes in their eyes. They wished they could shovel all the potatoes and cotton in their fields and plant hops instead.
Although Ke Rimu felt a little unbelievable about what Chu Tianyao said, everything the other party said made sense, which made him trust him a little more.
In the end, Ke Rimu nodded in agreement. After returning, he would convene the leaders of each village and town to come to Xingfu Village to observe and study for a period of time.
With Ke Rimu's words, Chu Tianyao knew that things were stable.
After all, ordinary people are simple and unpretentious. Although the beautiful blueprint is exciting, it is ultimately just out of reach. Only the payment in hand will make them feel at ease.
Soon, not only the area where Xingfu Village is located, but also the number of hop growers who heard the news will only increase.
That night.
Chu Tianyao and Lu Qiuyu said goodbye to the Ayireti family and returned to Wulu City.
After living in a windy and sandy village for a few days, Lu Qiuyu felt as if her skin had aged several years. As soon as she returned to the city, she hurriedly bought a lot of skin care products.
In the hotel room, Chu Tianyao called Chen Feipeng.
"Everything is going well here. How about the matter where I asked you to contact the processing equipment?"
Chen Feipeng was also a little surprised when he heard Chu Tianyao's words.
Chu Tianyao had only been in Xijiang for a few days, and things had already progressed, which was beyond Chen Feipeng's expectation.
"I contacted Shancheng Machinery Factory about hop processing equipment, and they said they could do it, but the price..."
When it comes to price, Chen Feipeng is slightly hesitant.
"Just tell me directly. As long as it's not too outrageous, I can agree to it."
Chu Tianyao asked straightforwardly, time is money now, and he must complete his plan in Western Xinjiang as soon as possible.
"The other party offered one hundred thousand yuan per set, and the one-time production should not be less than twenty sets!"
Chen Feipeng reported the conditions of Shancheng Machinery Factory.
One set costs 100,000 yuan, and 20 sets equals two million yuan, and it must be paid in one lump sum without default.
Two million, this is not a small amount of money. Just for a batch of hop processing machines, this price is not small.
However, hop processing machines are currently scarce, and there are not even specialized manufacturers in Sichuan Province. If you want to purchase them in large quantities, you can only use this method.
"Two million is two million, I want to get the machine within twenty days!"
Chu Tianyao didn't hesitate much about this price. He probably wouldn't be able to negotiate much with the machinery factory now, not to mention he didn't want to waste time.
In addition, although a machine worth 100,000 yuan is expensive, it is a semi-automatic machine that integrates processing, drying and packaging. Not only does it save a lot of manpower, it also improves efficiency.
Moreover, this set of machines is enough for a cooperative, and it is still acceptable after careful calculation.
"How is the situation in the company recently?"
On the phone, Chu Tianyao asked Chen Feipeng again.
"The market has been severely squeezed recently. After Lanjian and Shancheng, Qingdao took the lead in reducing the advance payment of suppliers in the southwest region to 40%. Now other companies are following suit. If it weren't for the fourth
For months, I thought it was already summer."
Chen Feipeng said a little funny, but the underlying meaning also revealed the current predicament of Xingyao Winery.
The beginning of summer is the peak season for beer sales, but it is still only April and the beer market has just recovered, but there is already a hot scene.
At this time, all breweries are going crazy. If they don't choose to follow the general environment, they will definitely be eliminated.
With the lower prepayment ratio, dealers are like cats that smell fishy smell and almost swarm into the arms of Tsingtao Beer.
"How is the market's reaction?" Chu Tianyao said in a deep voice.
What seems to be a good market is actually just a secret operation between manufacturers and dealers. What really determines the market situation depends on consumers.
Especially for fast-moving consumer goods such as beer and beverages, once consumers fail to keep up with their purchasing enthusiasm, it will be useless no matter how many tricks manufacturers and distributors spend.
There are countless such examples in history.
On the other end of the phone, Chu Tianyao heard the sound of Chen Feipeng quickly flipping through the information in his hand.
"I asked people to conduct market research. Whether it is from the perspective of consumption at retail terminals or catering terminals, although beer sales have increased year-on-year, the momentum is not obvious."
As soon as Chen Feipeng said these words, Chu Tianyao continued to ask: "Have you ever thought about what will happen if this happens?"
Chen Feipeng was naturally not stupid and understood what Chu Tianyao meant.
"Once product sales fail to keep up, these dealers will inevitably have a large backlog in a short period of time."
Having said this, Chen Feipeng also added: "However, although the inventory is backlogged, it only needs to survive these two months. When the peak season comes in June, it will not be a big problem to sell these goods."
After all, it is a fast-moving consumer goods. Once it enters the peak season, the daily sales volume will be astonishing.
This is why dealers choose to stock up on large quantities of goods even though they know there is a risk of overstocking.
"But have you ever thought about it, the inventory has been overstocked in the past two months, and the dealers have no money, so what will they use to pay the balance?"
Chu Tianyao's words also made Chen Feipeng's heart tremble.
If dealers cannot pay the final payment, it will inevitably cause the dilemma of a broken capital chain for upstream manufacturers.
"But for big manufacturers like Lanjian and Shancheng, it's only two months' balance, so it shouldn't cause them financial problems, right?"
After all, his family has a strong financial background, and Chen Feipeng does not think that just two months' balance payment will pose any threat to major manufacturers such as Lan Jian.
"What if I raise the price of raw materials at this time?"
Chu Tianyao's somewhat calm words came from the phone.
In an instant, Chen Feipeng, who was holding the phone, couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.
What a great move to get rid of the firewood!
"Mr. Chu, it's too risky for you to do this. Can we sustain it with the amount of funds we have?"
Chen Feipeng finally understood Chu Tianyao's purpose of going to Western Xinjiang, but at the same time he could also think that the prerequisite for doing so would inevitably require a large amount of funds.
Is the current liquidity of Xingyao Liquor Industry sufficient to support Chu Tianyao in doing this?
