"Well, your concerns are reasonable. Fengzhou is indeed too far from Tongling. People are not made of steel. It is really unbearable to go back and forth.
And if you require Fengzhou to fully cooperate with you in doing this, you will indeed encounter practical problems of one kind or another.
However, I have to convince the French celebrity Zhu family first.
As long as they are willing to come, I will solve your problem." Luo Kancheng said decisively.
"Okay, Secretary Luo, please give instructions to Secretary Cai in Fengzhou. Ask them to get me a copy of the relevant information on Fengzhou's livestock and industrial development, especially the fur. The sooner the better,
Moreover, it is best to be more detailed. In the next few days, I will ask my friend to take some experts in related fields to Fengzhou for a field trip." Ye Fan nodded and said.
Two days later, on the 26th, Qiu Hanxiang, secretary-general of the Fengzhou Prefectural Committee, gently knocked on the door of Ye Fan's office.
Qiu Hanxiao is in his thirties. Although he looks ordinary, he is very elegant. He is wearing a standard white-collar cloak and red leather boots. At first glance, he does not look like a cadre but looks like a fashionable lady.
"Secretary Ye, hello, I am Qiu Hanxiao. Secretary Cai asked me to come here to deliver the information. Also, if you have any questions, just ask me directly. From now on, your direct contact person will be me." Qiu Hanxiao said with a smile.
.
"Take a seat, Secretary-General Qiu, let's have a chat while drinking tea. There's no need to be so serious, right?" Ye Fan smiled and sat on the sofa in the corner.
"Secretary Cai was very anxious after hearing about the Hongpai Tianzhen Group. He was afraid that the road might scare away the distinguished guests. Therefore, he asked me to fully cooperate with Secretary Ye. This is the information we have about the fur and livestock industries.
.I also brought two experts in related fields, they are outside." Qiu Hanxiao took out the information and handed it over as he sat down.
Ye Fan took it and browsed it quickly.
"Inviting experts in to chat together will help us grasp first-hand information." Ye Fan said, Qiu Hanxiao went out and brought in two middle-aged men.
It was introduced that one was an expert on fur named Li Xingchi, and the other was an expert on marketing named Wei Guolin.
"You have cowhide, sheepskin, fox skin and other leather. I would like to ask, how is the quality of the leather produced by your processing company?" Ye Fan asked.
“Most of them are of low-grade quality, and medium-grade leather materials account for less than 10% of the total output.
The main reason for this is that Fengzhou’s production is too backward. Secretary Ye also knows that Fengzhou cannot attract leather businessmen with advanced technology because of its remote location and poor roads. Of course we have thought about this ourselves.
The problem is, I want to invest in making it bigger and more modern. However, the funds required are too large, and the production process is the secret of other merchants.
We can't get it, so no matter how much money we invest, we can't do it. We can only provide low-quality raw leather to those merchants along the coast.
In fact, it is just rough processing like removing the skin and cleaning it. Moreover, this kind of processing is very polluting, but the profit is very low.
This is the current situation of our leather processing in Fengzhou." Li Xingchi said with a slightly worried look.
"That's right. Moreover, the rough processing of leather materials, which is already scattered, is even worse in terms of market competitiveness because it cannot form a unified scale.
The materials are usually selected by some manufacturers along the coast. The prices are determined by them, because there is no unified planning. Moreover, small and crude factories often set prices against each other in order to compete for customers.
This makes the profit of processing a piece of leather material, which is already thin, even lower. Without profit, you can't make money. Without money, the machine cannot be updated, and the workers who make the material are not stable.
As a result, it is impossible to retain technical talents hired from other places. This creates a vicious circle, making the quality of Fengzhou's leather processing increasingly rough.
Farmers who raise cattle and sheep have also reduced or changed their production because they cannot sell at a good price. Of course, the prefectural committee office has also seen the dangers of these, and has also tried to provide benign guidance.
However, it finally stopped due to lack of financial resources. After all, it is impossible for the government to set up factories to process leather materials.
Therefore, the effect of guidance is getting worse and worse, and the intensity of guidance is slowly getting smaller and smaller because of the poor effect.
In a word, Fengzhou's leather processing is very chaotic. It has neither a market nor a scale. It is all sporadic and small-scale operations." Wei Guolin also said it bluntly. He must have obtained permission in advance, otherwise,
Wei Guolin probably didn't dare to speak like this. After all, this matter cannot be covered by paper.
It was a matter personally instructed by Secretary Luo of the Provincial Party Committee. If Fengzhou screwed up the matter because of fraud, then Cai Liang, the secretary of the prefectural Party Committee, would probably be doomed. Cai Liang is fully aware of the sensitivity here.
"Secretary Ye, in fact, Fengzhou also has merits. Although leather processing has not formed a scale and industrial chain, Fengzhou's leather production and processing were quite famous in the Ming and Qing dynasties." At this time, Qiu
Said with a smile.
"Oh, then it seems that your leather processing history in Fengzhou is not short?" Ye Fan's tense mood relaxed a little. After all, the current situation of leather processing in Fengzhou is really worrying.
And Secretary Luo was so determined to ask Ye Fan to handle this matter well. If he couldn't handle this matter, Boss Ye's official career in Jinling would probably stop here.
Ye Fan also realized that this seemingly ordinary investment problem was actually quite sensitive.
It can simply determine the future of an official. Boss Ye has to be cautious. Moreover, after careful consideration, Ye Fan feels that the possibility of attracting "famous and naive" is still high.
Well, Boss Ye is not very optimistic about Fengzhou's leather processing. And why did he attract the French Zhu family? The key lies in the display of Boss Ye's methods.
One aspect of this display depends on Fengzhou's leather processing, and another, more important aspect is that Ye Fanxiang allowed the Zhu family to see his own strength.
Moreover, Zhu Na was arrested because of enemies of the Zhu family. It is estimated that to solve this aspect, sometimes unconventional means must be used - that is, force.
Ye Fan wanted to help the Zhu family deal with its enemies in exchange for the Zhu family's investment in Fengzhou.
Several hundred million is nothing to a large group like Hongpai Zhenzhen. Even if they can't make any money, as long as they can get rid of their enemies, I believe the Zhu family will be tempted.
Of course, Boss Ye also has a gambler's mentality. Moreover, Boss Ye also sees the benefits of this matter to himself.
If it can be done, in Secretary Luo's heart, the image of Boss Ye as a "go-getter" will be established.
After working for a few years, when opportunities arise, this will be a stepping stone. To say that Mr. Ye does not want to be promoted is to deceive himself.
Of course, this matter cannot be rushed. Mr. Ye can only use one achievement after another to bolster his official hat.
"Well, it existed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a history of at least five or six hundred years." Li Xingchi nodded and said.
"Since it has a history of five to six hundred years, is there any evidence of this? Moreover, it is impossible to have modern leather-making technology and machinery and equipment in ancient times.
In that era, everything was made by hand. Then your Fengzhou must have traditional handicraft techniques in this area.
There must have been some experts in leather processing in that era. Can you please identify a representative?
Of course, you have to have a certain reputation?" Ye Fan became interested, and maybe he could start from this aspect and think of something to attract famous photographers.
"The representative in this field is Hua Dongcheng. The Hua family has an ancestral craft. I heard that it has a history of hundreds of years in making leather.
They once made fur coats for the concubines of Emperor Qianlong. Legend has it that their family also treasured an imperial scroll.
During the Qing Dynasty, it was kept in the Huajia Workshop and was guarded by specialized martial arts masters. It is said that it was personally rewarded by Emperor Qianlong.
However, no one has ever seen it in more than a hundred years. Some people say that this Emperor's Jian has been stolen or snatched away by others.
However, Hua's leather business is quite good. It is the oldest leather workshop in Fengzhou area.
Moreover, the leather produced by the Hua family is about twice as expensive as others." Li Xingchi said with a smile.
"Does anyone want it if it's so expensive?" Ye Fan asked.
"There is a rush to get them, and the supply exceeds the demand. Because the Hua family is an ancestral craft, all handmade. Therefore, even if the Hua family has dozens of disciples making leather materials, the amount of leather materials that can be produced is not large. After all, traditional
Compared with machine processing, of course the effect will be much worse," Li Xingchi said.
“Although Huajia’s leather products are very famous, they have not yet achieved scale due to the small amount of mass production.
Otherwise, the Hua family could lead the leather sub-market in Fengzhou. Moreover, it is a pity that Hua Dongcheng is very old-fashioned.
In the past, some descendants of the Hua family proposed to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to make the Hua family workshop bigger and stronger.
However, Hua Dongcheng did not agree and insisted on sticking to the old rules. Therefore, the Hua family's workshop is still a workshop rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty.
Although the area is large, it is too old. The Hua family's workshop can be called an antique-level workshop. There have been few updates other than maintenance over the years." Secretary-General Qiu sighed.
"Can you persuade Hua Dongcheng to expand his business and make Hua Dongcheng the first in Fengzhou to establish a leather goods guild?
If it has a certain scale, it will have the initial strength to cooperate with the French Hongpai Tianzhen Group to negotiate business.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for each of them to be attractive. Even if they can cooperate with Hongpai Tianzhen, it will be just a vassal and it will be a big loss." Ye Fan said.
"It's no use. Hua Dongcheng's mind is too 'antique' and he can't talk about it at all. Someone has talked about it before, and even our prefectural committee office sent a deputy commissioner to talk to him.
However, the negotiation failed. Hua Dongcheng was stubborn. If you asked the Hua family to cooperate with the French Hongpai Tianzhen to set up a factory, Hua Dongcheng would probably get angry and call you a traitor or something.
Once a person's thoughts are formed, it is really difficult to change. Otherwise, why is there a saying that a country is easy to change but its nature is hard to change?" Secretary-General Qiu shook his head slightly. {PiaoTian Literature www.PiaoTian.com Thank you for your support, all book friends. Your support is
