Chapter 208 Office
In the following days, Li Zhonghua went to grain stations in various districts of Jiamusi and several nearby counties and purchased 1000 tons of grain. However, the grain stations believed that it was unnecessary to purchase grain on their behalf. If they completed the purchase task, they would deliberately sell the remaining grain to them. They also told Li Zhonghua a piece of news that recently some companies from other places had directly come to the farm to purchase surplus grain, which aroused Li Zhonghua's interest.
Wen Qing found the agricultural machinery station according to the address and bought agricultural machinery. This was a relatively simple thing. As long as you were willing to spend money, you could always buy it. She bought a brand new multi-functional seeder that could sow wheat, corn, sorghum, and soybeans, and could also apply fertilizer during sowing. She also bought a rice transplanter, a rotary tiller, a grain dryer, and a high-power gasoline generator. The total cost of these machines was more than 30 yuan.
She drove the agricultural machinery out of the station in batches, and put it into the space in an empty place. The grain in the space was ripe at that time. Wen Qing had nothing to do at night, so she entered the space and started harvesting the grain. The large combine harvester was multifunctional and could also thresh and raise dust. She only needed to take the grain out of the barn and dry it. Now it was much more convenient with the dryer, but it consumed fuel to generate electricity. It would be much better if there was a photovoltaic generator.
Wen Qing went to a machine repair shop and bought some spare parts, diesel, and gasoline, all of which were needed for space agricultural machinery. After finishing these things, she finally went to meet up with Li Zhonghua.
Li Zhonghua purchased 1000 tons of grain. The contract is from now to June next year. He contacted the railway station through Ji Mingan and bought a carriage. The grain station ships goods to Beijing every month, and Changxia Grain Company goes to the railway station to receive the goods.
1000 tons of grain is not a large amount, but this is just the beginning. In the future, Northeast China will become their main source of goods. The mission in Jiamusi has been completed, and it is time for them to return to Pingjing. Li Zhonghua told her that he still wanted to go to the countryside to see if he could buy grain directly from the farm. Wen Qing returned to the capital alone.
Wen Qing went to Hengsheng Building to find Xie Yang to cancel his leave and asked him if he had any channels to buy a truck. New or old trucks were fine.
Xie Yang's family was in the military, and he helped her contact three large trucks that had been eliminated from the army. The trucks were a bit old and had been in an accident, but Wen Qing did not dislike them. She sent them to the school-run factory for a comprehensive overhaul. They repaired what needed to be repaired and replaced what needed to be replaced. After the repairs were completed, they were handed over to the grain company for use.
Today's Changxia Grain Company is no longer a company of only four or five small cats. The company trades more than 4 tons of grain each year, and this amount will be even greater in the future. The number of employees has also increased to more than 5 people. Li Zhonghua and Shen Lin are managers of the purchasing department and the financial department respectively, and Zou Jie is the manager of the warehousing department.
After returning to Beijing from Jiamusi, Wen Qing decided to set up an office in Jiamusi to specifically purchase grain.
I called Li Zhonghua and asked him to set up the office there first and then come back. I also assigned three young people from the company to help him.
All three of them could drive, so Wen Qing asked them to drive a truck over.
Wen Qing asked Shen Lin to remit 10 yuan to Li Zhonghua as the start-up capital for the office, so that he could buy an office there and rent a warehouse, and use the rest as working capital.
A few days later, Li Zhonghua called to say that the three young people had arrived safely and had bought an office, which was located near Jiamusi Railway Station. It was a small courtyard of 200 square meters and an 80-square-meter yard, which solved the problems of office and accommodation at once. The key point was that it cost less than 2 yuan to buy this yard.
Li Zhonghua took three young men to transport the first batch of 200 tons of grain to the train station, sent the freight to the capital, and took them to visit several grain station managers he had contacted. After arranging the daily work of the Jiamusi office, he discussed with Wen Qing and designated Zhou Yu, one of the three young men, as the temporary person in charge. He required him to purchase another 500 tons of grain before the end of the year before he returned to the capital.
After Li Zhonghua returned to Beijing, he reported the work of the Jiamusi office to Wen Qing. Wen Qing saw that he had lost weight and said jokingly, "Old Li, it seems that the Northeast is very suitable for you. You look healthier now."
Li Zhonghua said: "The farms in the Northeast are really too big. Any farm has 4 to 5000 acres of land. It's too tiring to walk anywhere."
Wen Qing asked the Human Resources Department to make a salary plan for the Jiamusi office. The main idea was that the more you work, the more you pay. After reading the plan, the three people became more committed to their work. Now that they had an opportunity to display their talents, they wanted the management to see their achievements. Wen Qing asked Zhou Yu to train employees locally so that when the office became bigger, they could hand over the work to local people.
Wen Qing thought it was a good idea to set up offices in grain-producing areas, so he decided to set up offices in Hubei, Anhui and Shanxi provinces after the spring. It was particularly urgent to set up an office in Hubei Province, as it would start purchasing rapeseed and rice in the spring.
Considering that domestic grain companies will face vicious competition from foreign grain oligarchs in the future, she is secretly thinking about how to deal with it.
The Jiamusi office subsequently purchased another 300 tons of grain. By December, farmers no longer sold grain, so the three men sent all the grain that should have been shipped out before the New Year back to the capital, and then locked the courtyard and returned to the capital.
Wen Qing praised the three people in the company and promised to reward them at the end of the year.
The grain company rented a large grain warehouse in Yunlin Town near Erxia Village, and currently has 5000 tons of grain stored. The winery uses 350 tons of grain and the feed factory uses 1700 tons of grain every month. Together with the grain in the winery and feed factory warehouses, 5000 tons of grain can only be used for more than two months. Fortunately, there is still grain in Wenqing Space, which can be replenished at any time.
Wen Qing felt relieved after she got the grain company settled. After New Year's Day, Wen Qing asked the financial chiefs of the three companies to work overtime to prepare the year-end financial statements, so that they could give bonuses to the employees before the Spring Festival.
After divorcing Zhuang Xien, she had lived a busy and fulfilling life in the past two years. From withdrawing from Schindler Bicycle Company to investing in Gu Qicheng's Blue Sky Real Estate Development Company and Ping An Machinery Factory, her business empire continued to expand. She secretly compared herself with Zhuang Xien and felt a little proud. Thinking of this, she laughed to herself while cooking.
After leaving Schindler Bicycle Company, she had no contact with Zhuang Xien and others anymore. Even the rent of the store in Dawangzhuang was collected by Tan Yuanfang. The finance manager also managed the leasing of several other houses on her behalf.
Tan Yuanfang, the financial director of the winery, handed her the annual report and explained, "Director Wen, our profit last year was 266 million yuan, a significant increase over last year."
Last year, Changxia Winery produced 1300 tons of various liquors with sales of 2700 million yuan. After deducting various expenses, taxes, and depreciation, the net profit reached 266 million yuan, doubling that of the previous year. It also allocated 5 yuan to the Erxia Village fund.
Xu Shengli reported to her the operating conditions of the feed factory. The feed factory produced 1 tons of feed throughout the year and had a net profit of 172 million yuan. After making up for the losses of the previous year, the distributable profit was 80 yuan.
After the year-end settlement, year-end bonuses are distributed. The average bonus for winery workers is 1 yuan, the average bonus for employees of the feed factory and grain company is 800 yuan, the average bonus for department managers and workshop directors is 3 yuan, and the average bonus for several factory directors is 5 yuan.
Ping An Machinery Factory only started producing electric bicycles in the second half of the year, with a net profit of only 130 million yuan, which was basically generated by transmissions and other products.
The first project of Blue Sky Real Estate Development Company has not been completed yet. There are only expenses and no profits yet.
Wen Qing owned 77.5% of Changxia Wine Industry, 45% of the feed factory, and 28% of the Ping'an Machinery Factory, for a total of 275 million yuan in dividends. Together with the grain company's net profit of 270 million yuan, 400 million yuan in income from grain sales, and 30 yuan in income from the orchard, his annual income was nearly 1000 million yuan, and he felt his wallet was getting fatter again.
Liu Quan, Wang Jianguo and several other investors received dividends of tens to hundreds of thousands of yuan in addition to bonuses. Only three people from the grain company did not invest, and were left with envy.
