Zhang Tan invited the village chief to sit in the house. The village chief just made a pot of tea for them to taste on the spot.
Zhang Tan doesn't drink much tea, unlike Lao Li, who drinks tea every day, but he also drinks tea. When he first arrived at Pujiang Film Studio, he worked with Luo Ming as an assistant and learned Luo Ming's habit of drinking tea.
When he goes to work every morning, the first thing he does is make a pot of tea for Luo Ming. Luo Ming is now proud of this and does not usually mention it. He will only talk about it at critical moments and important occasions.
The tea was boiling and the fragrance was overflowing. The pomegranates who were playing in the room came out after smelling the smell. But after wandering around the living room, they found that they were mulberry leaves. They immediately lost interest and walked away without looking back.
I was muttering about mulberry leaves again before.
Zhang Tan poured a glass for everyone and took a few sips himself.
He couldn't give a professional comment, but from the perspective of an audience, the taste was very good.
"It's a pity that the sales are not good. We can't sell them every year, and the factory loses money every year," the village chief said.
"Is it the factory in the village?" Zhang Tan asked.
"No, it's a factory run by a boss outside. Because it's close to us, some people from Baijia Village work there. During the tea-picking season, we will be temporarily hired to help pick tea..." the village chief said.
.
According to his introduction, this tea factory has been in operation for seven or eight years. At the beginning, many people from Baijia Village worked in the factory, both men and women. However, because the sales were not good and the brand was not well-known, it was basically closed every year.
The boss had been losing money every year, and after holding on for several years, he couldn't stand it any longer, but he couldn't close the business, so he cut back on income and reduced the number of workers. He was also looking for a buyer, ready to sell the business at any time so that he could get out of the business as soon as possible.
It's just that this place is located in a remote place, the efficiency of the place is not good, the brand is not available, and the sales are even worse, so I have never found a suitable buyer.
There were a few who were willing, but the price they offered was far lower than the boss's expectations, so it has been delayed until now.
The factory is still operating, at the expense of factory workers.
If the factory closes, it will be even harder to find a buyer.
Only then did Zhang Tan find out that there was such a tea factory nearby. He had never heard of it before.
But he knew that tea was produced in Baijia Village, and there were tea trees growing in the mountains.
"This tea is very delicious and fragrant. How come there is no sales?" Zhu Xiaojing asked.
The village chief said: "To be honest, we are not the only ones with good tea. There are not many on the market, but there are certainly many. There are more than a dozen well-known ones. Although our tea tastes good, it is not famous, and the boss is marketing it.
If it is not done well, the sales network is not established, and the tea cannot be sold, we can only do it in a small way and sell it in the nearby area."
Zhang Tan asked: "Is it because the marketing is not enough?"
The village chief said: "The main reason is this."
"What about the factory?"
"The factory is in normal condition, the machinery and equipment are 80% new, and all qualifications are complete. I am in charge of these things, and I know it very well."
Zhang Tan drank the tea in his hand, poured himself another cup, and refilled it for others.
When the village chief was about to leave, Zhang Tan saw him off. When he got to the door, he asked, "How many people did this factory have when it was recruiting the most workers?"
The village chief said: "This tea garden covers more than 500 acres. One hundred acres requires about 50 people, and 500 acres requires 250 people."
He thought for a while and said with certainty: "Almost, that's the number of people. However, the factory has not been very efficient in recent years, so the number of employees has been reduced by more than half. Now there are only more than 50 people left, and the tea garden is not fully used."
Get up. According to me, if this continues this year, the boss will not be able to hold on any longer, and the company will be sold at a loss."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, village chief."
"Hey, it's okay. I'm leaving. By the way, if the tea tastes good to you, I'll bring you some more in the evening."
"No, no, no, these are enough."
After seeing off the village chief, Zhang Tan returned home. Because it was still raining outside, he couldn't go out. Everyone was sitting at home. Zhao Gongcheng and Meng Guangxin were watching TV, Ding Jiamin embroidered with Teacher Jiang, and Zhu Xiaojing went to the room.
Here, stay with the children.
Dunzi's mother returned to her home in the rain, and the pigs at home were still waiting for her to feed.
Teacher Jiang saw Zhang Tan coming back and asked, "Are you interested in that tea factory?"
"Ah?" Zhang Tan was stunned for a moment.
Teacher Jiang continued: "You asked in such detail, are you interested in tea factories?"
"I'm just curious."
"You don't need to set up a tea factory. Crossing a line is like crossing a mountain."
Jiang was still old and spicy, Zhang Tan just asked the village chief a few more questions, but Teacher Jiang didn't know what he was thinking.
Since Teacher Jiang said this, Zhang Tan did not hide it and said: "I really don't need a tea factory, but Baijia Village does. Teacher Jiang, think about it, if I run this tea factory, our Baijia Village will
People can go to work in the factory instead of going out to work, and they can’t come back twice a year.”
Mainly because he has witnessed the hard work of Dunzi's mother in the past few days, and sincerely feels that the old men working on the Pujiang construction site are working hard, and the women who stay at home to take care of their children and fields are also working hard.
Working in a tea factory, the salary may not be as high as working on a construction site, but first of all, it's not that hard, and secondly, you don't have to leave home. It's better to earn 5,000 at home than to earn 10,000 outside.
If you work in a tea factory, you can earn 5,000 yuan a month. Zhang Tan believes that all the old people working outside will choose to come back.
Teacher Jiang did not expect that Zhang Tan had this purpose. She was a little surprised, but more pleased.
Ding Jiamin on the side couldn't help but raise her head and looked at Zhang Tan. She did have love, but this kind of love can only be achieved by rich people.
Teacher Jiang said: "You can ask the village chief more to understand the situation in the factory. The village chief is one of your own."
Immediately she asked again: "The village chief said just now that the tea in the tea factory is good tea, but it is losing money every year because the market is not good, there are no channels to sell it, and the brand cannot be popular. If these problems are not solved, you
After I bought the tea factory, it ended up being the same as now, losing money every year and not being able to hire so many people. Have you ever thought about these problems?"
Faced with this biggest problem, Zhang Tan smiled and said: "You are right, if the tea factory cannot open up sales, there will be no improvement if I buy it. Besides, I am still an outsider, I am afraid the situation will be worse. Although I
The purpose of buying this tea factory is not to make money, but I also don’t want to give money every year to run it. It’s not that I’m reluctant to give money, but I have to do things well, otherwise it’s not my style. If I buy the tea factory, then
I have to run the factory well. I don’t ask for how much money the tea factory can make for me. I just hope that it can develop healthily and be responsible for its own profits and losses, so that the people of Baijia Village can work there and live and work in peace and contentment.”
He continued: "The village chief has made the problem very clear just now. The biggest problem of the tea factory now is sales. There is good tea, but it cannot be sold. This is not only a problem of this tea factory, but also a problem faced by agricultural development.
Common problems are like last year’s apple harvest in the north, but it turned out that they couldn’t be sold, and many of them rotted in the fields, causing fruit farmers to suffer miserably.”
"But for me, the sales problem is not a problem. If others can't sell tea, it's because there is no sales. There is no sales because there is no brand awareness, that is, there are no promotion channels. I have the channels, my Little Red Horse Galloping APP
It is the best promotion channel, just in time, I also want to try the promotion effect of Pentium."
Zhang Tan didn't say anything deeper, because Teacher Jiang and Ding Jiamin might not be able to understand it.
Zhang Tan actually wanted to use tea to test the waters and develop the product delivery function of the Little Red Horse Galloping app.
Bringing goods can be carried out live, or linked to an online store.
Now Little Red Horse Galloping is developing rapidly, with 30 million installed devices per month and 100 million daily active users.
Although there is still a big gap between the Douyin that Zhang Tan was familiar with in his previous life, the development momentum of Little Red Horse Galloping is very good and can enrich and improve the industrial chain.
Seeing that Zhang Tan was confident, Teacher Jiang didn't say anything more and just gave her full support.
She believed in Zhang Tan's vision and ability.
Everything in the past proves this.
Zhang Tan did not fight an unprepared battle. He planned to find the breeding expert who came to Baijia Village a few days ago to learn some introductory knowledge about tea cultivation from him.
This breeding expert is not only involved in fisheries, but planting is also one of his research focuses.
While Zhang Tan was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Liuliu coming out of the room and looking furtively into the living room. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she walked along the wall to the door and ran out quickly.
By this time, the rain had turned into a light drizzle, and the air was fresh with the fragrance of vegetation and a little fishy smell of earth.
Liuliu slipped out of the yard, ran up the field, and ran towards Dunzi's house.
She held a stick in her hand to protect herself from being ambushed by the big rooster.
Fortunately, it was raining and the big rooster should be sleeping in the nest, so Liuliu arrived at Dunzi's house smoothly.
She wandered at the door and didn't see Dunzi's mother - Dunzi didn't come back from Xiaobai's house - so she wandered into the pig pen and saw several pigs eating, flapping their big ears and shaking their heads.
I move my little tail and feel happy in my heart.
Liuliu squatted in front of the iron fence and watched with great interest.
After she came to Baijia Village, she became obsessed with watching pigs eating.
