Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters future conception
“Fuck, we have our own mountain, who can donate money from them?
Not to mention 30 million, we will also pay 50 million."
As soon as Xu Shiyan finished speaking, the meeting room exploded. Many people banged the table and said with glaring eyes.
Ginseng companies have developed rapidly in recent years, and ginseng products are sold overseas.
While earning a lot of foreign exchange, I also had several confrontations with South Korea.
In the past, South Korea's ginseng industry has always been very advanced, and many high-end foreign ginseng products are produced in South Korea.
However, since Xu Shiyan led Ginseng Industry to engage in research and development, after years of development, Ginseng Industry Company's high-end ginseng products have captured most of the foreign market.
South Korea is seeing its market share being robbed, profits plummeting, and various damaging tactics emerging one after another.
I will later say that Oriental Ginseng Company’s products plagiarize their formula.
Later, I said that the craftsmanship of Changbai Mountain red ginseng is derived from the production technology of Korean ginseng.
Later, the ginseng industry company developed black ginseng. They also said that it was a craft passed down by their ancestors and had been plagiarized.
Especially in the cosmetics industry, there are several cosmetics in South Korea that also use ginseng as the main raw material, but no matter the formula, technology, or product richness, they are not as good as Yushenfang's products.
If you can't compete openly and honestly, you'll start to play dirty tricks.
I bribed some consumers and claimed that they were allergic to Yushenfang's products, and their faces were rotten, etc.
Daily chemical products are the most vulnerable to attacks in this area.
Once it causes a crisis of trust among consumers, the product's reputation will be ruined and it will be difficult to sell it.
Yushenfang's cosmetics only appeared at the Spring Fair and went abroad after they had obtained quality certification from various countries.
Moreover, sellers collect customer feedback carefully and pay great attention to after-sales service.
Once allergies or other conditions occur, feedback will be provided promptly.
The active ingredients of Yushenfang's cosmetics are extracted from natural Chinese herbal medicines, with mild and stable quality.
In order to adapt to Western skin types, subtle adjustments have been made.
So over the years, customer feedback has been very good.
South Korea wanted to use this aspect to attack Royal Ginseng Factory, but it ended up dumping out several thick volumes of customer feedback records and quality certification documents from various countries.
Not only that, the company has also widely publicized in the media of various countries to maintain the reputation of Yushenfang.
Last year, a South Korean consortium came over and said it wanted to form a joint venture with a ginseng company.
Invest tens of millions to jointly create internationally renowned ginseng products.
It should be said that the leaders above have gained experience in the past few years and their vision has improved a lot.
If this had been done before, many people would probably be jealous and eager to promote cooperation immediately.
But now, haha, I'm sorry, tens of millions of investments, I really don't take it seriously.
In this way, the South Korean consortium came back defeated, and the feud became deeper and deeper.
So the managers, factory directors, and directors of the Ginseng Industry Company all felt angry when they heard that Xiaobangzi wanted to donate money to build the mountain gate.
But screw grandma, we have money ourselves and don't need their attentiveness.
Xu Shiyan did not find this reaction ridiculous, but felt a little proud.
How should I put it? This is the self-confidence that economic development brings to people.
In the past, they were all foreign adults and could not afford to offend.
Now, I dare not say it anywhere else, but in the Ginseng Industry Company, everyone really doesn’t take the stick seriously.
If you have money in your pocket, you will have a strong waist, and you no longer need to try to please anyone.
"The reason why I proposed to donate money to build the mountain gate is not only because I don't like it, but also because I want to develop the economy from another aspect."
Xu Shiyan raised his hand to signal, and the venue became quiet again.
"Our company is currently mainly focused on ginseng cultivation and processing. At present, the company is developing well and prospering.
But everyone should know that the available forest resources are decreasing.
After the forest land planned for 33 years is used up, have you ever thought about what kind of development we are aiming at?"
Xu Shiyan raised a very pointed question.
In the previous life, Yishenchang did not develop into such a glorious place as it is now.
In 1997, industrial adjustment and enterprise restructuring began, and after two thousand years, it began to decline.
In the year 2003, all the forest land used in the field was used up, and eventually it turned yellow.
In this life, although so many factories have developed, they are all quite profitable at the moment.
But if the forest land is gone, there will be no place to grow ginseng.
These factories are mainly based on manual labor. If there is a problem with the supply of raw materials, the development of these factories will also be affected.
Of course, the company can purchase ginseng from the market.
However, quality is difficult to control, output is even more difficult to guarantee, and market prices fluctuate greatly, all of which will affect the company's development.
So next, while developing the ginseng industry, we must also develop new industries.
Tourism is a very good emerging industry with good development potential, and it must be planned in advance.
"Now that the domestic economy is recovering and people's living standards are gradually improving, the rise of tourism is an inevitable trend.
Our company is located at the foot of Changbai Mountain. With such good conditions, it would be a pity not to take advantage of the opportunity to develop."
Xu Shiyan saw that everyone was frightened by his words and turned pale, then he smiled and changed the topic to the tourism industry.
"That's not right, General Manager, if we want to develop tourism, we might as well cooperate with the province.
Why do we still have to donate money? We have so much money, why don’t we keep it to improve the lives of our employees?”
Some people also expressed different opinions and felt that donating money in this way was a bit of a waste.
Xu Shiyan smiled and leaned back on the chair.
"That mountain belongs to the state. Even if it is developed, it is still a state-owned unit and its maintenance level is higher than ours.
To be honest, the point on the mountain was never what I liked.
How much can you earn per year by selling tickets at scenic spots? What we want to do is to use the name of Changbai Mountain to develop tourism-related industries.
For example, hotels, restaurants, shopping, and various entertainment projects, this is the big one."
How much are the tickets for the scenic spot? The tickets for the Changbai Mountain West Slope Scenic Spot increased from 85 at the beginning to 215 later.
When a person comes once, doesn't he just buy a ticket?
Even later, the scenic spot even launched a policy that one ticket can visit the west and north scenic spots within three days.
How much can you earn after deducting various operating expenses of the scenic spot?
But what about this person’s food, accommodation, and other entertainment items? How much does it cost? How much is the profit?
Therefore, the development of tourism is not just as simple as scenic spots. The more complete the surrounding supporting facilities are, the more money you can make.
Why can’t tourism develop in many places?
There is only one scenic spot, and there is nothing to eat or do around it. Why do tourists come here? Just to see the scenery?
Developing the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area and Western Slope tourism industry as soon as possible can greatly boost the surrounding economy.
As the town closest to the western slope of Changbai Mountain, it will benefit from more than 30 million in the future.
Moreover, donating funds helps leaders solve big problems. As long as the resources are slightly tilted in the future, there will be many benefits.
"I have a plan and planning drawings here. You can take a look at them, but they cannot be shared with others.
If the plan can be implemented, then we can form an economic form that perfectly combines planting, processing, and tourism, which will be more conducive to future development.
】
Of course, the resources required for this are huge, and it can only be completed with strong support from superiors.”
Xu Shiyan flipped through the folder at hand, pulled out a stack of documents and drawings, and asked his secretary to pass them on to everyone.
"This is just a preliminary idea, it's still very rough. Just take a look at it and don't take it too seriously."
That plan includes the construction of ski resorts, golf courses, resorts, industrial parks, museums, large shopping malls, rafting and picking gardens and other scattered small attractions, catering and accommodation, etc.
However, these can only be implemented gradually after the Changbai Mountain West Slope Scenic Area is officially developed and established.
At present, everything is still on paper. How it develops in the future depends on how strong the support from above is.
The documents and drawings were circulated to everyone, and then everyone fell silent.
Anyone who can hold a meeting here is not stupid.
If everything is realized as stated in the plan, the local economy will be booming.
However, this is by no means something that a participating company can accomplish alone. It must have policies and strong support from above.
"We listen to the general manager on everything, isn't it just 30 million? We can afford it.
To put it bluntly, if we donate this money, it will not only bring glory to us, but it will also be tax-free. It will have benefits in the future and is cost-effective."
Dai Chunrong slapped the table and said.
Everyone was right when they heard it, so they nodded in agreement.
"Manager Dai is right, we all support Mr. Xu, this matter can be done."
"Then thank you for your support and trust. Let's work hard together to run the company better.
It also allows employees and their families to live a good life.”
Xu Shiyan smiled and nodded to everyone, took the circulated documents and put them back into the folder.
This document is just a framework, and it will take another year or two for him to refine it slowly.
After the Xipo Scenic Spot is officially put into operation, he will hand it over to the province. As for whether the province will take it seriously, he doesn’t know.
The company's internal meeting ended, and Xu Shiyan's proposal received support from everyone.
So the next day, the ginseng company contacted the province.
It is proposed that the Shenye Company donate 30 million to help the province build the gate and related facilities on the west slope of Changbai Mountain as soon as possible.
I hope to make some contribution to the development of tourism in this province.
When the province heard the news, they were of course very happy.
Who would be willing to accept funding from outsiders if they could get this kind of money?
In this regard, the development project on the western slope of Changbai Mountain is put on the agenda.
The province requires that the road from Songjiang River to Changbai Mountain Scenic Area be built as soon as possible, together with the mountain gate, and strive to open the scenic area within two years.
Xu Shiyan also began to make detailed plans on how to use Donggang's geographical advantages to build a tourist town.
Although the scenic spot has not yet been established, there are some things that must be planned this morning.
Plan it out in advance, and then build factories, residences, etc., and you have to make arrangements according to the new plan.
This avoids having to demolish and rebuild in the future, which is a waste of resources.
In May, ginseng companies participated in the Spring Fair and set a new record, with a turnover of more than 300 million US dollars.
Calculated according to the current exchange rate, that is more than two billion yuan.
Among them, cosmetics and high-end health products account for the majority, while medicines, simple ginseng products, drinks, etc. account for a smaller proportion.
At the same time, the sales of Ji Xingyuan health products are also good.
Sales in the first quarter were over 500 million, and before the second quarter was over, they were already at 300 million.
This proves that the domestic market potential is still very large.
However, compared with Ji Shengyuan, this sales volume is still a bit lower.
Jishengyuan's sales in the first quarter were over 1 billion, and sales in the second quarter were over 700 million.
Judging from the current situation, annual sales should exceed 4 billion.
Of course, Jishengyuan's huge sales volume is also related to how much they invest in advertising.
Su Anying has spent a lot of effort on advertising and publicity on major TV stations. This advertising fee alone is a big expense in a year.
Moreover, Jishengyuan built two more branch factories and a headquarters building.
So in general, Jishengyuan is still in the stage of spending money.
Unlike Ji Xingyuan, with the support of the Ginseng Industry Company, he has made steady steps step by step. Although the sales are not that exaggerated, the actual profits are not huge at all.
Ji Shengyuan and Ji Xingyuan were originally twin brands with the same roots, but they became incompatible due to the separation incident.
The competition between the two parties is very fierce, and both parties have invested a lot of effort in publicity and promotion and brand development.
Originally, there were some small health care product manufacturers on the market.
But less than half a year later, people discovered that those sporadic health products had disappeared without knowing when.
There are only two major brands left in the market, Jishengyuan and Jixingyuan, which are competing with each other, and the situation is getting more and more fierce.
"Okay, you two have done a great job, and now the market is almost all occupied by you."
Guo Shouye called Xu Shiyan to discuss the expansion of the flooring factory and mentioned it in passing.
The flooring factory has also developed very well in recent years, with sales rising year after year. Orders at this year's spring trade fair exceeded 100 million.
The original one main workshop has been expanded to three main workshops, which is still not enough at present.
Therefore, Guo Shouye discussed with Xu Shiyan that it would be better to build another branch factory to expand the production scale.
Xu Shiyan had no opinion on this.
At present, there are very few domestic factories that can produce three-layer solid wood composite flooring. It should be said that the market potential is huge, and we should take advantage of the opportunity to develop and expand quickly.
If you want to build a branch factory, just build it. Let alone another branch factory, even if there are three or five more branches, there will be no problem at all.
"Oh, there's nothing we can do. If we don't do this, what will happen to us when the others get up?" Xu Shiyan laughed.
"By the way, where is my eldest son? Is he still training in the capital? Has he been selected?"
The two chatted on the phone for a while, and Guo Shouye suddenly remembered that Xu Haiyuan was going to the training camp.
"I was selected. I called yesterday and said that after the training camp, he was successfully selected for the national team and will go to compete abroad in July."
Xu Shiyan slapped his forehead. He was so busy every day that he even forgot about his eldest son going abroad.
“I’ve been so busy this day that I can’t remember anything.
Brother, wait until Yuanyuan comes back from the competition and I’ll treat you to a treat. Let’s have a good drink.”
Guo Shouye naturally agreed cheerfully, and the two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Xu Shiyan processed the documents for a while, and it was late, so he went home from get off work.
I had dinner at my parents' place and chatted with the old man and old lady.
He was talking happily when suddenly Xu Haiqing ran in from outside.
"Dad, come out and take a look. Why is the sky in the north so red?"
On May 20th, at 7:30 in the evening, it was supposed to be dark outside.
But when Xu Shiyan walked out of his house and looked north, he saw that the sky in the north was really bright red.
Vaguely, it seemed that there was black smoke rising above the red light.
"Oops, it's broken. There's water on the corner building."
As the old saying goes, when there is a fire, you should not talk about the fire, but talk about the fire.
Otherwise, the fire will start all of a sudden through people's words.
Of course, this is just a legend. No one knows whether it is true or not. Anyway, it has been passed down as some old rules.
Based on the location of the fire, Xu Shiyan made some calculations and guessed that the fire should have started in the residential building on the corner building.
The buildings over there are older, and they still burn firewood and coal for heating, not collective heating.
Behind each building, there are special firewood stacks and coal sheds.
Xu Shiyan remembered that some firewood stacks were particularly large. If a fire started due to those firewood stacks, it would definitely be difficult to save.
At this moment, I don’t know how much I will lose.
"Go back to the house quickly, don't go out and run around."
Xu Shiyan quickly dragged Xu Haiqing, who was still looking northward, back home, then grabbed the phone and called the company's fire brigade.
Let them gather and stand by immediately to prepare for rescue.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Shiyan hurriedly called the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau to inquire about the specific situation and whether assistance was needed.
Then I was told that the fire in the residential building on the corner building is currently very large, and the forestry firefighting manpower is insufficient. I hope that the brother units will provide assistance.
"Notify everyone and dispatch quickly to the corner building to assist forestry fire fighters and put out the fire." Xu Shiyan called back to the company.
Then he hung up the phone and hurriedly turned around and ran out.
"No, what are you doing?
You are not a fire fighter. In the past, you were useless and caused trouble to others."
Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan took a look and saw that this was a good thing. Xu Chenghou had quick eyes and quick hands and caught his son in one fell swoop.
"Dad, Brother Guo's house is in the bungalow behind the corner building. I have to go over and see if there is anything wrong with his house."
Does Xu Shiyan still know how much he weighs? He has no intention of putting out the fire.
For such a big fire, the firefighters probably only managed to control the fire from spreading. As for the building where the fire broke out, it was basically impossible to save it.
Xu Shiyan just wanted to take a look, but he didn't know if the fire had affected Guo Shouye's home.
"Oh, then I'll go with you."
Xu Chenghou did not stop his son, but he asked to go with him.
As long as he goes over and watches, if this bear thing wants to get closer to the fire, at least he can stop it.
Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what he was saying, he couldn't laugh or cry.
He is over forty, how can he be so reckless?
"Okay, since dad wants to go, let's go together."
Just like that, when the two men went out, Xu Shiyan drove to the Songjiang River from the road in Lengchang in the west.
There should be a traffic jam at the corner building right now. Cars may not be able to drive through it. We need to take a longer detour, but it's safe.
Heading north along the road to Donggang Forest Farm, the farther you go, the clearer you can see the fire.
The flames jumped up and down, dancing with the wind, and burning wherever the flames blew.
"Oh, what kind of thing is on fire? It's such a big fire.
"Okay, these buildings are definitely hopeless, but I don't know if anyone is inside." Xu Chenghou sighed deeply when he saw the intensity of the fire.
The buildings on fire were concentrated in the southeast. Xu Shiyan drove around from the west end and parked the car in the courtyard of the Forestry Bureau Hospital.
It's not that he doesn't want to go further, but the street ahead is so crowded and full of people that it's impossible to drive past.
The two got off the car and walked through the crowd. As they walked, Xu Shiyan's heart finally relaxed.
The location of the fire was in the southeast corner of the corner building, which was still a little away from Guo Shouye's bungalow.
However, the residents of the bungalows in this area have also come out of their homes, holding buckets or basins in their hands, and are waiting in full formation.
Once there are sparks floating over, put them out quickly.
"Brother, how are you? Are you okay at home?"
Xu Shiyan walked through the alley, finally squeezed through the crowd, and arrived at the door of Guo's house.
I happened to see Guo Shouye and his wife standing outside carrying buckets and basins.
"Brother, why are you here?" As soon as Guo Shouye saw Xu Shiyan, he quickly put the bucket in his hand on the ground.
"Oh my god, why did this alert my uncle too?"
When he raised his eyes again, he saw Xu Chenghou following him, and Guo Shouye felt very sorry for this.
"We saw a very high fire in the north at home, so we guessed something happened in the corner building.
I'm afraid that your family may also be involved, so I won't worry about coming over to take a look.
I'm lucky it's okay. Just keep watch. People from my company will be here soon. I hope they can control the fire."
Xu Shiyan stood next to Guo Shouye, looking up at the fire to the south.
Over there, Peng Yucui quickly entered the house and moved a stool to Xu Chenghou.
This is a man in his seventies, how can he stand all the time?
Not long after Xu Shiyan arrived at Guo's house, the fire truck and firefighters from the Shenye Company also arrived.
All firefighters from the Shenye Company were mobilized to assist the forestry fire fighters. They fought hard for half a night and finally brought the fire under control.
Xu Shiyan and Xu Chenghou also stayed at Guo's house until midnight. They were relieved when they saw that the fire was under control and they were sure it would not spread to the north.
"Brother, I think there's nothing going on here. You and your sister-in-law can go home and rest. We're going back too."
"Brother, why are you going back at this time? Why don't you just sleep here? It will be dawn in a few hours."
Guo Shouye felt very sorry and wanted to keep Mr. Xu and his family here.
"No, brother, we are still waiting at home. If we don't go back, the old lady will definitely not sleep all night."
Xu Shiyan shook his head and smiled, said goodbye to Guo Shouye, and then led Xu Chenghou out of the alley.
Guo Shouye followed him until he reached the entrance of the alley, then turned around and went back.
When Mr. and Mrs. Xu Chenghou came out of the alley, they heard the sound of crying and howling in the street.
Yes, if something like this happens to anyone, it will be impossible to survive. How can you not cry?
The two men drove back to Donggang. As expected, Zhou Guilan didn't sleep, so she sat on the kang and waited.
Seeing her husband and son back, the old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurry up and get ready for bed. Huihui and Haiqing are sleeping in the west room."
It was past twelve o'clock, and Xu Shiyan was too lazy to go back to his house, so he took off his clothes and got on the kang, seizing the time to sleep.
After the fire broke out in the corner building, after the investigation, it was found that the fire started from the piles of firewood that Xu Shiyan thought.
The stack of firewood was accidentally ignited, and the fire was so intense that it hit residential buildings. In the end, nine buildings burned down, causing huge losses.
Fortunately, the floors in these days are short, with basically three floors, and some only two floors.
Moreover, when the fire broke out, everyone was awake and ran out when they heard something was wrong. There were no casualties.
The corner building was a building for the families of Forestry Bureau employees. Now that it was burned down, the Bureau must be responsible for the subsequent resettlement and reconstruction work.
Originally, the Forestry Bureau has been in a recession in the past two years, with logging decreasing year by year, timber production being low, and lumber mills, plywood factories, etc. being in a state of semi-stop production.
Now that there is such a fire again, for many people, it is just adding insult to injury.
In the end, it was discussed that the bureau would bear part of it and the individual would bear part of it, and the residential area around the corner building would be re-planned and built.
The original separate burning fire for heating was banned and replaced by centralized heating to avoid danger from happening again.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Xu Shiyan. Brother companies can lend a hand to rescue, but they have no obligation to help with reconstruction.
