Chapter 417 Talking about business with Jin Sui Army
"I understand!" Instructor Wang Hong also reacted at this time!
"Battal Commander, you mean to collect public grains differently!"
"You can grow wheat and good fields and harvest 30 kilograms of white flour from one acre of land according to the old method, but you can harvest 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes from one acre of land in mountainous areas that are not suitable for growing wheat!"
"In this case, the only good land is for growing wheat, and the people will end up with the most white flour in their hands!"
"Of course, they can also choose to grow wheat in mountainous areas, but there are too many uncontrollable factors, and they may not harvest anything, and they have to bear the burden of three hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes, which is not worth the loss!"
"But growing sweet potatoes is different. It has high yield and is drought-resistant. Even if the harvest is poor, the remaining sweet potatoes after removing the public grain can be exchanged for at least fifty kilograms of white flour!"
"If the yield is high, the sweet potatoes harvested from one acre of land can be exchanged for 70 to 80 pounds of white flour!"
"Battal Commander, I am sure that even if we reduce the purchase price of sweet potatoes by one-third after this year's autumn harvest, the people will be very motivated to grow sweet potatoes, and they will not suffer any loss!"
"After all, these mountainous lands do not belong to them now. Even if one acre of land is reclaimed and only yields ten kilograms of white flour a year, that is still extra income. Not to mention that after planting sweet potatoes, there is a guaranteed income of fifty kilograms of white flour!"
"Lingqiu is full of mountainous land. If there are four acres of mountainous land per capita, that would be 150,000 acres. All the sweet potatoes planted can yield at least 200 million kilograms, which is enough to support the annual consumption of our sweet potato flour factory, pig farm, and chicken farm!
"
"Also, the purchase price of sweet potatoes has dropped! The price of raw materials has dropped by one-third, which means that the final cost of sweet potato flour will be reduced by at least 20%. If one goes up, the profit will increase by at least 20%!"
"If the daily sales volume of the sweet potato flour factory can really exceed 50,000 jins, it will definitely have an annual profit of 100,000 yuan!"
Wang Hong became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face lit up with joy, and he continued: "A profit of one hundred thousand yuan a year, even if we only keep 10%, it is still ten thousand yuan!"
"Battal Commander, isn't 10,000 yuan too much?"
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "You haven't counted the pig farm and chicken farm. Maybe we will build other workshops in the future!"
"At that time, our independent battalion will be divided into 20,000 oceans a year, which will be a small number!"
"Hiss! So many!" Wang Hong took a breath and shouted.
"Is it much?" Li Hao asked to himself.
"I think twenty thousand oceans is not much for our entire independent battalion!"
"It seems like a lot, but instructor, please don't forget that our independent battalion has more than 2,000 main troops alone. Adding in the local troops and local cadres in the base area, there must be 3,000 people. On average, one person can cost seven oceans per person.
You can’t even get a share!”
"It's true!" Wang Hong's smile disappeared and he replied seriously.
"If it weren't for the profits from the sweet potato flour factory, and if we captured a lot of grain from the base area, one Lingqiu wouldn't be able to feed so many of our troops!"
Li Hao answered confidently: "Don't worry, instructor, one spirit hill cannot trap our independent camp. We will fight out sooner or later!"
Yan Youjin, deputy director of the Lieutenant Colonel Procurement Department of the Jinsui Army Logistics Department, is responsible for purchasing vegetables and pork consumed by nearly 20,000 people in the three main divisions of the Jinsui Army every day.
He also has another identity: Chief Yan of the Jin-Sui Army is his clan uncle.
Relying on this relationship, even though he had never attended a military school or even a high school, he still got the lucrative job of Deputy Director of the Procurement Department.
With the rank of lieutenant colonel, he does not have to go to the battlefield, and he can get a lot of military pay every month, plus some rebates for purchasing vegetables and pork, Yan Youjin feels that his life is very comfortable.
Today is the settlement time agreed with the Eighth Route Army. Yan Youjin took Dayang and his transport team to the Lingqiu Independent Battalion station.
What surprised him was that after arriving at the station today, he was taken directly into their headquarters by two Eighth Route Army soldiers!
"Hello, Director Yan. I am Li Hao, the commander of the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army. I apologize for the last few times you came here because I was at war and didn't have time to greet you, a rich man!"
"Hello, Battalion Commander Li!" Yan Youjin was not too polite, and he also seemed to be deliberately distant.
After all, the Li Hao in front of me belongs to the Eighth Route Army, and Li Hao, a battalion commander, will definitely not be higher than himself!
Li Hao could see what the other party was thinking at a glance and was not angry. He spoke bluntly and asked, "The purpose of coming to see Director Yan today is very simple, that is, to discuss a business deal with you, Director Yan!"
"Director Yan, as the deputy director of the Procurement Division of the Jinsui Army Logistics Department, although there are some benefits and kickbacks, your total monthly income will definitely not exceed 300 yuan!"
"Your Procurement Department is so big. There are four or five deputy directors alone. The materials that need to be purchased are definitely not many to distribute to each person. I don't know if I am right!"
Seeing Yan Youjin's acquiescence, Li Hao no longer hesitated and spoke out frankly about the benefits.
"If Director Yan does this business with me, I guarantee that you won't need to take any risks, but you will get at least 20 yuan in profit every day!"
"Twenty yuan a day may not seem like much, but it adds up to 600 yuan a month, and more than 7,000 yuan a year! If I guessed correctly, many of the main division commanders of your Jinsui Army earn all their income in a year.
It doesn’t necessarily add up to that much!”
"There is no risk. All you need is Director Yan to use your identity and some connections to earn seven thousand yuan a year, or even more. You can't find such a good business even with a lantern!"
Yan Youjin's eyes immediately became hot, and he stared at Li Hao and asked: "There is really no risk, and there is no need for me to violate discipline?"
"There's definitely no risk!" Li Hao replied firmly.
Seeing that Yan Youjin was already excited, Li Hao continued: "The net profit of twenty yuan a day is just my conservative estimate. If we cooperate smoothly and open up sales, it will be thirty yuan a day, or even more!"
"Hiss, hiss..." Yan Youjin was frightened.
Then he stared at Li Hao and asked: "What business?"
"That's the sweet potato flour you are purchasing every day, Director Yan!" Li Hao no longer concealed it!
"Director Yan, you must have eaten sweet potato noodles. It tastes good and can withstand hunger. More importantly, it is cheap, otherwise your army would not purchase such a large amount every day!"
"Since it is so popular among the military, it must be even more popular among the people."
"I want Director Yan to use your procurement channels to sell sweet potato flour as an agent in the areas occupied by the Shanxi-Sui Army!"
"One pound of white flour can buy two pounds of sweet potato flour, and two pounds of dry sweet potato flour can be made into five pounds of water. The taste is no worse than noodles, and it is also filling. Even if the middlemen make another 10% profit, ordinary people will rush to buy it!
"
"As for Director Yan, for every 10,000 jins of sweet potato flour you sell for us, we will give you 1,000 jins for free, which is equivalent to ten yuan in the ocean!"
"The area occupied by the Jinsui Army is so large, it will be no problem to sell 20,000 kilograms of sweet potato flour a day, which is a profit of 20 yuan."
"Thirty thousand kilograms is a profit of thirty oceans!"
"As for transportation, it won't cost you a penny, Director Yan!"
"The transportation team in your hand belongs to the army, and someone pays military salary. It will be in vain if you don't use it."
"If you're worried, Director Yan, you can share some petty profits with them and bribe them. It won't cost much!"
Yan Youjin's thoughts suddenly became vivid at that time.
Because of his relationship with the buyer, he knows more or less about southwestern Shanxi.
After thinking for half a minute, he had to admit that Li Hao was right, but Li Hao still far underestimated the demand for sweet potato flour in southwestern Shanxi!
According to him, once sweet potato flour is accepted by the people, it is possible that they will consume 50,000 kilograms per day!"
Fifty thousand kilograms of sweet potato flour is a profit of 50 yuan, which is 1,500 yuan a month. Even if I take out 500 yuan to make some and give benefits to the transportation team, I will still have a profit of 1,000 yuan a month.
That’s 12,000 yuan a year, which is definitely a huge profit!
