Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 212 Granary

Wu Zhenggao said: "The calories in the pig feed we produce mainly come from starch and protein, with low fat content and little calorie contribution. If the proportion of corn in the feed is too high, then because corn contains a lot of crude fiber and insufficient calories, it will affect the growth of pigs, so we can appropriately reduce the proportion of corn and increase the fat content appropriately."

This explanation sounded very reasonable, and Wen Qing nodded.

Qi Yanling said: "Appropriate addition of xylanase can increase the energy of feed and reduce the amount of protein feed."

Zheng Xiaoqiang said: "The feed we produce includes brown rice and broken rice. In fact, their nutritional value is similar to that of corn, but they are more expensive and not cost-effective."

Sorghum is relatively cheap, but because it tastes bad, the sorghum content in feed is not high. Finally, everyone gave new suggestions on the use of sorghum, which is to use sorghum plus some methionine and lysine to neutralize the bitter taste of tannins in sorghum, so that the proportion of sorghum can be increased.

Increase the proportion of wheat bran and rice bran from 10% to 20%. These two raw materials are also very good for raising pigs. Generally, farmers feed wheat bran or rice bran when fattening pigs. Finally, the ratio of wheat bran and rice bran is determined. In this way, the new feed formula is mainly based on corn and sorghum, supplemented by wheat bran and rice bran, and added with distiller's grains, methionine, lysine, and oil cake. The fat and calories are increased.

Wheat bran, rice bran and distiller's grains are waste materials from the winery and can be used for free. The corn we chose is yellow corn from the Northeast, which is 20% cheaper than corn from other places, so the cost of the feed factory is reduced a little.

Wen Qing asked Zheng Xiaoqiang and Xu Shengli to discuss using the feed produced with the new formula to feed pigs, first find a few farmers to pilot it, see the effect and then start mass production.

After the spring, the people from the grain company set out for Jiamusi again. Li Zhonghua went to Hubei Province to open an office according to Wen Qing's suggestion.

Wen Qing was quite satisfied with Li Zhonghua's work attitude and work ability. After the Spring Festival, she appointed Li Zhonghua as the company's vice president. At the same time, she announced that the company's promotion in the future would mainly depend on everyone's contribution, and whoever made greater contributions would have a greater chance of promotion.

In this atmosphere, when Li Zhonghua led people to Hubei Province this time, no one was unwilling to go. Come to think of it, Mr. Li would definitely not stay in Hubei Province for long, and he would have the opportunity to shine in his new position in the future. The first batch of people would have more opportunities.

Wen Qing thought so too. As her company continued to grow, she always needed someone to manage the company. She was alone in Pingjing without any help, so she could only find talents among the current staff and assign them to suitable positions.

She also has great trust in the three veteran employees, but Li Zhonghua is more open-minded. Although Shen Lin and Zou Jie are serious about their work, they do not have a strong sense of pioneering. Now they are each in charge of a department, and there will always be opportunities in the future.

She also has high hopes for a subordinate of Li Zhonghua named Zhou Yu, who was one of the three people sent to Jiamusi and is currently the temporary head of the office.

The Hubei Provincial Office mainly purchases rapeseed and rice. She was thinking about whether to open an oil press factory, but she thought that domestic edible oil would be controlled by foreign companies in the future, and it would be difficult to do it without her own backing, so she had to plan carefully before taking action.

Wen Qing went to the grain warehouse in Yunlin Town. The weather in the north is dry. The past few months have been autumn and winter, and the temperature is not high, so there is no problem with grain storage. But summer is coming soon, and the weather will be hot and humid, and there will be problems with grain storage.

In the past, there was less food, and the food did not need to be kept for too long before it would be used up, so she would put the small amount of food that needed to be stored into the space. Now that the operation of the grain company is becoming more and more standardized, if she continues to do so, loopholes will appear, which will attract other people's attention, so she plans to improve the equipment of the grain warehouse and install air conditioning in the grain warehouse to facilitate summer grain storage.

This time she went to seek the owner's opinion. The house belonged to the Yulin Town Government. Wen Qing was already very familiar with Secretary Ma. When she met Secretary Ma, she directly explained her purpose and suggested to him: "Secretary Ma, our grain company has rented the old granary in our town. Can you sell the house to us?"

Secretary Ma found the head of the logistics department and asked about the situation. The head of the logistics department replied: "Secretary Ma, it is the old granary in the west of the town. It used to be a temple. Later it was converted into a canteen. Later the canteen was demolished and converted into a grain warehouse. Now it is empty and rented to Changxia Grain Company for 1 yuan a year."

Considering that renting a dormitory from the housing authority costs less than 100 yuan per year, 1 yuan in rent is already a lot.

Wen Qing repeated her request again. They wanted to rent the house for a long time and planned to renovate it, so they hoped to buy the house.

After Secretary Ma discussed with the town government team, their government had no shortage of land or houses, so they decided to sell the house to the Changxia Grain Company. They asked for a high price, and the old grain warehouse covering an area of ​​3000 square meters was sold for 20 yuan, which was equivalent to a one-time rent for 20 years. After getting the house, Wen Qing began to renovate the warehouse.

She found Lao Du, the captain of the construction team of the former commune, and carried out insect and rat-proof renovations in accordance with the construction standards of regular granaries. The building space height was also increased to 4 meters, and large fans were installed to maintain indoor ventilation. In addition, Wen Qing also designed a local air conditioner, which is a water air conditioner. Several wells were dug underground, and cold water was pumped from the wells into the heat exchanger, where it exchanged heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator and then entered the compressor. The condenser then sent the heat-exchanged water back to the well, and the cooled cold air was blown into the room, lowering the room temperature.

The main reason is that there is no central air conditioning at present, so using local air conditioning also has its advantages. Its construction and installation costs are higher, but the subsequent use costs are relatively low.

Wen Qing bought equipment from multiple companies, borrowed a team of workers and some equipment and tools from Lao Du, dug a well, installed air-conditioning equipment by herself, and asked Xu Shengli to contact the local power company to pull a dedicated electric line for air conditioning. It was June when Wen Qing completed the renovation of the granary. The weather was getting warmer, and newly purchased grain from all over the country was continuously shipped back and stored in the Yunlin Town granary. After Wen Qing's observation, he found that the new granary met the requirements for grain storage.

It seems that the business of renovating granaries can be done, but ordinary enterprises do not have much such demand, and she does not need to touch the country's granaries, as they have professional personnel. Wen Qing thought about it and decided to forget it.

But she found some time to draw the design of the homemade air conditioner and put it in the space, maybe it will be useful in the future.

The granary problem has been solved. Wen Qing asked everyone to pay attention to the summer harvest in various places, and purchase as much grain as possible while the grain supply increases and the grain prices are relatively low. Their granary of more than 3000 square meters can store 1 tons. In fact, they use it on a "first-in-first-out" basis. The feed factory and the winery have their own grain warehouses and can store a small amount of grain. They also have their own large trucks to transport grain every day to ensure orderly production.
