On October 22nd, Lin Qiyue and his party finally returned to the venue.
"Xiao Xu, thank you for listening to your words this time. Look, our Changbai Mountain red ginseng won an international award.
Don’t you know that there are celebration parties and banquets everywhere along the way from the province to the city to the county?
Xiao Li and I have both gained weight."
When Lin Qiyue returned to work, he was still so happy that he started talking nonsense to Xu Shiyan, Li Bingzhuo and others.
"Secretary Lin, even though we haven't seen this, we can guess it.
Guess how much our orders for Changbai Mountain red ginseng increased this year? Twenty thousand boxes.
Since the news of the award spread, many merchants have called to place orders.”
Xu Shiyan and others also laughed.
In any case, this time the harvest was huge for Yizhenchang.
With this batch of orders alone, you can earn a lot of money just by participating in the show.
“This year, the price of our Changbai Mountain red ginseng has increased again.
Four hundred and forty-three for sixteen pieces, three hundred and forty-four for twenty pieces, two hundred and seventy-five for thirty pieces, two hundred and twenty-eight for forty pieces, and one hundred and eighty-seven for fifty pieces.
"
In recent years, the price of Changbai Mountain red ginseng has been rising, but this year’s increase is really unexpected.
I remember that when it was first developed in 1983, a box of 16 tablets sold for 388 yuan. In just a few years, the price has increased by more than 50 yuan.
Not to mention anything else this year, just the order of 20,000 boxes will generate millions in revenue.
"Thanks to our cooperation with the Forestry Bureau, otherwise, we would have orders but no raw materials."
When Lin Qiyue heard this, he was even more happy. This was the direct benefit brought by winning the award.
Compared with these benefits, the cost of attending the expo is really a drop in the bucket.
"Xiao Xu, do we really not plan to expand the scale of our venue?
When I was in the county this time, many leaders said, let us take advantage of the opportunity to expand production.
There is no problem with ginseng, the leader will solve it.
I didn’t dare to agree, so I thought I’d come back and discuss it with you guys.”
Lin Qiyue has now formed a habit of coming back to discuss with Xu Shiyan and listen to Xu Shiyan's opinions no matter what happens.
If Xu Shiyan said yes, he would be confident. If Xu Shiyan said no, he really wouldn't dare because he was afraid something would go wrong and he would fall in.
"Haha, they wish all the woodland in the county were planted with sticks." Xu Shiyan snorted.
When Guan Enxue was here before, he could still exercise some restraint. There were limits on the amount of ginseng approved every year to prevent it from developing too fast.
But since I replaced this person, I really don't care about anything. I heard that this year, I will directly let go of the ginseng soil.
All forestry stations under the county have approved the planting of ginseng regardless of whether it is suitable or not.
This is just nonsense, just wait and see if there is excitement.
"Secretary Lin, if you listen to me, we will maintain the current level and don't expand it.
If we don't have enough raw materials, it's easy, just go to the market and buy them.
Nowadays, all units dare to plant ginseng, regardless of whether they have the conditions to process it.
They don’t have a processing plant, what can they do? Build it now? Don’t they sell fresh ginseng?
Isn’t it more cost-effective for us to buy the good ones than to grow them ourselves?”
This is also the reason why Xu Shiyan does not let Su Anying suffer more.
From now on, there will be a lot of fresh ginseng for sale in the ginseng market.
As long as the money is available, which one is better to buy from, do they still need to go to the trouble of planting it themselves?
As long as you have stable customers, you can earn a lot of money in a year just by collecting water and participating in work.
When Lin Qiyue and others heard this, they all laughed.
"Look, our director Xu has to be able to see through it, okay, then I'm too lazy to think about it.
The worst case scenario is that we can expand the processing plant and buy more machines."
Instead of investing money in the fields, it is better to invest in processing plants and put more effort into deep processing.
"By the way, Xiao Xu, you still have to put some effort into leading people to develop a few more products.
This time, the provincial leaders told me that they will give me a separate quota for next year's Spring Fair."
This year's Spring Fair, Fusong did not produce results, and the relevant provincial leaders were also very annoyed, especially the first participant who failed to attend the Spring Fair.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to celebrate the award, the leaders specially approved that there will be a separate quota for each venue.
Whether it is the Spring Fair or the Autumn Fair, as long as you want to attend the fair, you can participate directly without approval from the county.
Xu Shiyan wanted this effect, and he laughed when he heard it.
"Sure, this isn't difficult. I'll discuss it later with Limin and the others to keep it and make several products suitable for export this winter."
Regarding the research and development of new products, Xu Shiyan has already conducted relevant discussions with people from the technology department.
According to Xu Shiyan's expectations, several production directions were decided.
Strive to produce one generation, develop one generation, and reserve one generation.
No matter how the sales are, R&D testing cannot be stopped, and if production is not temporarily available, technical reserves can be made.
Lin Qiyue liked Xu Shiyan's confident and unhurried look, and even laughed.
"Well, everyone has had a hard time while I was abroad.
In this way, I will give you all three days off and go back and have a good rest.
When the snow falls and there is no work in our place, I will treat you all to a nice meal."
Changbai Mountain Red Ginseng has won this honor, and there are so many new orders this year, so a celebration party must be held to make everyone happy.
After Lin Qiyue came back, all production at the factory had stabilized. The processing plant would be finished in a few days, and the preliminary rough processing was almost complete.
The next step is deep processing and finishing. Don’t rush this, just take your time.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Shiyan took two more days off and went home to make trouble.
This year's ginseng land is still near the machine repair shop, next to last year's land, which is also about 20,000 feet, so it's not much.
Each family left 120 to 300 feet of ginseng soil, planted 100 feet of sticks, and left the rest for sowing seeds.
The ginseng seeds picked by Xu Haiyuan and his colleagues last year were mixed with sand and soil this summer to bloom.
Take it out of the ground a few days ago, use a sieve to remove the sand, keep it properly, and then spread it directly into the ground in a few days.
There is a hundred feet of ginseng land, so let's hire someone. Xu Shiyan is not at ease, fearing that the person he hires is a novice and will do badly.
So I discussed it with Su Anying and took advantage of his five-day holiday so that the couple could go up the mountain and plant sticks.
No one can do this thing as well as you can do it yourself, so you have to worry about doing it yourself.
Otherwise, don’t plant too much. If there are too many, you won’t be able to handle them at all. If you don’t care about handling them, you still want to grow the mallet?
Xu Chenghou, an old man, couldn't sit still, so he went up the mountain with his son and daughter-in-law to help put the pond and hand over the seeds.
In this way, Xu Shiyan and his wife do not have to do chores and can concentrate on planting sticks.
The two of them worked together and worked very quickly. They planted more than twenty feet a day and sprinkled ginseng seeds on the fifth day.
Most of the work of digging the fields is now completed. The remaining work such as building the shed can be outsourced.
Li Erniu is still the leader here, leading people to look at frozen skins, making ginseng sheds and other things.
It just so happened that Xu Shiyan was relieved and Li Erniu and the others could also make money.
