Chapter 67: Seed Selection
After the introduction by the grain depot manager, Li Chaosheng already had a deep understanding of the grain depot.
This grain depot is a small grain depot at the village and town level and covers an area of one and a half acres. After deducting the surrounding walls and functional buildings, such as duty rooms, conference rooms, and kitchens, the actual usable grain storage area is about 600 square meters.
The entire grain depot uses the most primitive room-type warehouse instead of tank storage, so the maximum storage capacity of the grain depot is 3,000 tons.
It has to be said that this kind of room-type warehouse storage is still very primitive. If more advanced filling warehouses are used for storage, the storage capacity will be greatly increased. However, it is not used in this township-level grain depot and the cost is also high.
The hardware facilities of the grain depot are mainly warehouse buildings and some machinery.
Among them, Li Chaosheng's favorite is the large conveyor belt. This conveyor belt is 20 meters long. One end leads to the warehouse and the other end leads to the outdoors. When in use, the grain can be transported directly to the warehouse by throwing the grain on the conveyor belt. This is very convenient for transportation.
.
In addition to the transportation conveyor belt, there is also a medium-sized grinder that can grind corn into corn flour or into corn particles. This grinder is also the treasure that the grain depot currently relies on for its survival.
After all, selling pig feed depends entirely on it. Without it, Manager Zhao’s pig feed would not be produced, and the main ingredient of his pig feed is unsold old corn.
In addition, there is an agricultural forklift in the grain depot that helps transport grain. This may be considered the most valuable vehicle in the factory.
Li Chaosheng likes this car very much. After all, it is very practical and can be used for many physical tasks.
In addition to these hardware, it is the grain stored in the grain depot. The grain depot currently stores three types of grains, corn, rice, and a small amount of millet.
Baotai Town mainly grows corn, rice, and millet. Very little is grown, and the recycling price is quite high, so Manager Zhao doesn’t collect much, only one ton, but it costs Manager Zhao 6,500 yuan.
money.
The second largest item is rice. A total of 20 tons were collected. The market price of rice is about 2,300 yuan per ton. This price is not fixed and varies in each region. The price charged in Baotai Town is 2,000 yuan per kilogram.
It cost RMB 3 yuan, totaling 46,000 yuan.
Finally, there is corn, which is really a lot. This year’s new corn harvest will be about 200 tons. Last year, dozens of tons of old corn were sold as pig feed, but there are still nearly 20 tons left.
The recycling price of this corn is much cheaper than that of millet and rice. The average price is about 1,200 yuan per ton and 1.2 yuan per kilogram. This price is quite high. In some places, it is already less than one yuan.
The harvest of 200 tons of corn cost 240,000 yuan. The old corn was leftover from last year and no one ate it. Twenty tons of corn could be sold for 20,000 yuan.
Li Chaosheng and Manager Zhao looked around and were very satisfied. With this grain depot as a foundation, at least in the short term, food will definitely not be their own problem.
I thought about Li Chaosheng's research, discussed it with Manager Zhao, and finally took stock of this grain depot.
The factory buildings and machinery of the grain depot, as well as the remaining five years of use rights of the factory land were all given to Li Chaosheng at an agreed price of 200,000.
In fact, there is nothing profitable for Manager Zhao at this price, but Li Chaosheng's second condition is the reason why Manager Zhao is very willing to sell the grain depot to Li Chaosheng, that is, Li Chaosheng wants to buy all the grain in stock.
Two hundred tons of corn cost NT$240,000, twenty tons of rice cost NT$46,000, plus twenty tons of old corn. Li Chaosheng bought it back for NT$20,000. In the end, Manager Zhao happily gave the ton of millet to Li Chaosheng as a gift.
No more money.
This generosity made Li Chaosheng very happy. He paid cash directly. When Manager Zhao saw the money arrived in the bank, he almost burst into tears. He finally got over it. This grain business almost cost him money. He planned to take these five
If you spend more than 100,000 yuan to open a supermarket in the city, you can make money quickly with that thing, but it's not like throwing away food and almost dying in it. The water here is too deep.
Manager Zhao was full of emotions, and then he took a taxi with his suitcase and ran to the train station. Li Chaosheng saw off Manager Zhao and locked the door of the grain depot. He was very happy. From now on, we will also
Now I have my own base.
The grain depot was very empty, and there was no one there. The grain depot didn’t support employees in the first place. When I needed to provide food that day, I went to a nearby village to find two people to help me. They spent 200 yuan each. How much does it cost to maintain employees?
.
Moreover, Manager Zhao does all the small and small work in the warehouse by himself, and he can also work part-time during the shift, so there is no delay.
Li Chaosheng entered the office. There was a long table, several chairs, and a pile of messy notebooks.
Li Chaosheng casually looked at it and threw it away after seeing that it was of no use. Then there was the room for the night shift. This small room was not bad, more than thirty square meters, but the decoration was a bit poor. In addition, there was a rustic heater and a TV in the room.
, a broken bed.
The kitchen only has a gas stove and looks very simple.
Li Chaosheng looked at it and thought that the infrastructure was a bit poor, but it would be nice to decorate it a little. People in the city are so discerning, so this place can be used as a new gathering spot.
Thinking that Li Chaosheng took the key and closed the door of the grain depot, he took a taxi and went straight to the center of Baotai Town. There were many fertilizer and seed distribution points there. Li Chaosheng's target was them.
He took a taxi to the town. When he arrived, Li Chaosheng saw many fertilizer and seed shops. In such a small town, there are many fertilizer and seed dealers, and they are all complex operations. They sell seeds in spring, agricultural tools in autumn, and Chinese New Year in winter.
You can also make a temporary guest appearance selling firecrackers for a few days.
When they arrived at a shop, the shop owner looked at Li Chaosheng and asked with a smile: "Buying seeds, brother?"
"Well, let's buy some corn seeds and fertilizer. What do you recommend?"
Li Chaosheng asked. After hearing this, the boss smiled and said: "It depends on your needs, brother. There are quite a lot of seed brands in our store, such as Dongdan 1331, Yufeng 303, Ningyu 909, and this one
Keyu 505…”
The boss said and pointed to the corn seeds in the store. Li Chaosheng didn't know which one was good and which one was average. Then he looked at the boss and said, "Is there any difference?"
"What difference does this make? Nowadays, the seeds are pretty good and highly adaptable. The yield per mu is about 1,500 to 2,000 kilograms. At most, the seed fields are slightly different, like Dongdan 1331 and Ningyu 909. Generally, we
In the Northeast, there are more species in the Huang-Huai-Hai basin."
"This is Yufeng 303, and Zhongkeyu 505. There are slightly more species grown in Shaanxi, Hubei, Anhui and other places. In fact, they are not much different."
