Chapter 35: The Greed of Capital
The market economy is like this, the strong are cruel and ruthless, and they are not transferred by a person's will. The market is to survive the fittest and eliminate some people who cannot persist and have no confidence. Only those who stay can have real skills and create a high-quality market environment.
Zhao Shucheng is not worried that villagers will give up growing mushrooms because the mushroom price is low, because such people are simply greedy. People who look at the high mountain will not engage in mushroom planting for a long time.
So if such a mushroom farmer demolishes the mushroom shed and sells the materials to exchange for money, it can only be said that he is not suitable to raise mushrooms and earn money. There must be other ways to get rid of poverty.
When Chen Jinshan was still thinking about how to help the villagers get rich, his time for leaving office was up, so he could only leave this place with regret. He felt like a deserter, leaving behind the warrior who was charging into battle.
Seeing his reluctance to let go, Zhao Shucheng said directly: "Mr. Chen, don't let go, you can still help us. There are many big bosses in your place. You tell them to let them come here to invest in the factory. After the construction of my video processing factory, I need a lot of packaging materials, from ordinary canned bottles, canned lids, to printed products, cartons, plastic bags, etc., all projects that can be cooperated with. I am still worried now. If there are no canned bottles, will I have to store them in a large tank then?"
Chen Jinshan felt that he could still help with this. At least he knew many companies that produce packaging bags, which would definitely meet Zhao Shucheng's requirements.
"This is no problem. When I go back, I tell them to come here to build a factory as soon as possible, but you don't have time here, right?"
"It doesn't matter. I have prepared some materials in the short term, but in the long run, it is definitely not as suitable as having my own manufacturer in the local area to purchase goods from other places. Besides, although my demand is very small now, if it really grows in the future, maybe a factory may not be able to do it."
Ma Debao also came to see Chen Jinshan leave. When he heard the conversation between Zhao Shucheng and Chen Jinshan, hesitated for a moment, and came to Zhao Shucheng and asked, "Brother Yongfu, do you think I can be a supplier to your processing factory?"
Zhao Shucheng looked at Debao and said, "Debao, in principle, I don't mind you participating. But you have to know that my processing factory is about to start construction, and the things you will definitely need are urgent at that time. There is no time to let you slowly become familiar with this industry. Besides, the old man said, "It's better to be familiar with it than to be raw. If you really want to do something, I think the first thing you have to do is to enter an industry, become familiar with it, and then you can develop."
"Besides, a packaging factory invests a lot of money, which costs about a few million. Are you sure you can afford it?"
Debao thought there was not much money, but he didn't expect that he would need so much money. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why do you need so much money?"
"What do you think? First of all, if you build a new factory, you must buy land, factory buildings, and machinery and equipment from the yamen. This is all cost money. Maybe it is not enough to buy land, but it takes one or one to one or two million to build a factory and a machine."
Zhao Shucheng began to analyze the situation for Debao and continued: "This is the least. Secondly, you need to hire people. In addition, you also need to stock up on my packaging. You can't wait until I need it, and then you go in and add the raw materials. This is not too late. Secondly, the packaging needs a designer, so you have to hire someone, right?"
Ma Debao became depressed when he heard this and felt that he had no hope.
"If you don't give it to you, there is no chance. You have survived just now. The Chen County Magistrate might ask Hu Jian's merchants to build a factory, so they will definitely need construction. If you have money, you can set up a construction team, which will make a lot of money. In the future, you can also get involved in real estate development, which means building a house for people and buying a house."
Ma Defu asked curiously: "Why don't you do this for Debao?"
"I don't like this profit. When I am mainly studying computers, this thing is very valuable and I will definitely make money in the future. But we don't have the conditions here. If you really want to do this, you can only go to the capital and the magic city."
"What is a computer?"
"How can I say it? It is a machine that can perform calculations, drawings and other functions. I can't explain it clearly now. When you have a computer, you will know."
Zhao Shucheng didn't want to say anything more about this matter. Instead, he felt that if he could, he would enter the Internet industry now. Of course, he doesn't have any technical personnel now, so he can only start an investment company first and prepare to participate in it when Alibaba and QQ financing.
...
The joy of a bumper harvest did not last long. Instead, the continued decline of mushroom prices made the villagers feel at a loss. What they are most concerned about now is whether the price of mushrooms will fall and whether it will fall.
"Shuihua, you are the first person to grow mushrooms in our village. When did you think the person who collected mushrooms will come?"
Li Dayou no longer sells mushrooms by himself. Last time he sold them by himself, he almost went in with them all, and then he honestly followed the others to sell them to the buyer.
"Uncle Dayou, don't worry, they will definitely come when the time comes."
"Can't you be in a hurry? Shui Wang called. The price of mushrooms in Yinchuan has dropped in the past two days. It was sold for 2 yuan and now it would be good if it could be 2 yuan. How much can the people who collect mushrooms give?"
"You said that they all grow mushrooms. When you were the first batch, you sold them for more than three yuan. Now that we have arrived here, there is only one yuan, and it is only half the price. I think something is wrong."
"What's wrong? This thing is rare and expensive. How many mushrooms were used to grow, and how many are there now? Not to mention the entire county, there are more than 300 households growing mushrooms in our Yuquan Camp alone. The price cannot drop."

Seeing that he has made money, he has grown mushrooms all over the place, and he doesn't think about whether he can sell them. Now, our mushrooms are in his hands."
Yang San was unhappy and said, "Who said it was in his hands? Before we planted mushrooms, Yongfu analyzed it with us. The mushrooms must have been reduced, but as long as the price is more than one yuan, we can make money. Now the price is more than one yuan and five yuan, and we can earn more. What's wrong with it?"
"But the mushrooms in Shuihua and Defu are more than three yuan, so we only cost half of them."
"They make a lot of money because they invest. At that time, Yongfu said that they would let everyone grow mushrooms together, and they were all thinking about waiting. Now they feel that they are at a disadvantage?"
The villagers were arguing, and they saw the sound of trucks coming from afar. When the villagers saw it, they were excited to surround them.
"Old Xin, Lao Zhang, you are here. Come, eat a cigarette! Thank you for your hard work on the road."
Uncle Dayou is the most attentive because he lost a batch of mushrooms, so he dare not continue to lose.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. I won't eat cigarettes. Collect mushrooms. The Russians will have to go to several surrounding villages in the afternoon."
"That's the case. Let's first agree that the price of mushrooms collected today is one yuan and five. Everyone quickly bring the mushrooms over and we will weigh them. It's time to make money."
Li Dayou also heard his son talk about the price in Yinchuan, and knew that it had only sold for 18 yuan there, so he had to accept it.
However, other villagers were not happy, but seeing Li Dayou who often stood up, they all recognized him. It seemed that there was no way, so they could only sell at this price.
At the beginning, Agaricus bisporus made money by water splashing and horses, but when they caught up, they only had the first batch of mushrooms to make money. The price was one day later, and they felt like they had lost 100 million yuan.
They do not calculate whether they are still making money, but instead feel that they have earned less than they do.
It can only be said that people’s desires are infinite. Even if you tell them that they are actually making money, they feel that they are actually losing money.
Zhao Shucheng did not say that he could help him with the bottom line, mainly because he felt that he could not afford it now. At the beginning, he only calculated the Yuquanying side, but he really didn't expect that each county directly used Agaricus bisporus as a good medicine for poverty alleviation. Now it is still being promoted in various townships. In the future, Agaricus bisporus will produce more.
The amount of mushrooms produced every day is hundreds of thousands of kilograms. When the whole county produces mushrooms, it is probably millions of kilograms will be available every day. He is worried that his factory can keep up with the speed of Agaricus bisporus.
Ling Yinong also knew about the plummeting price of Agaricus bisporus, so he came to Zhao Shucheng, hoping that he could raise the purchase price so as not to make the villagers lose hope.
"Yongfu, can you increase the acquisition price? Nowadays, the prices in many rural areas are only about one dollar, so it will definitely not work if this continues for a long time."
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "It's definitely not possible. I can't buy mushrooms in violation of the laws of nature. Isn't this just for me to subsidize other people with my own money? Besides, this should be done by the imperial court, and I can't do this in person. Secondly, my company's purchase price is 1.5 yuan. If they really want to sell it, they can just get the acquisition point. If they don't want it, what can I do?"
"Why do middlemen go to the countryside to collect mushrooms? Isn't it just to earn a spread? I can't ruin my job. Besides, if I have too high prices, how much time can I support?"
"Professor Ling, have you ever calculated how much is the daily yield of Agaricus bisporus in the surrounding countryside? Let me tell you that my purchase point every day is 200,000 kilograms, which is not counted as transported to other counties and cities. In total, it has to be calculated, about 300,000 kilograms per day. But this is only a temporary yield, and there are still many mushrooms in greenhouses that have not yet produced mushrooms. By the time the mushrooms are produced, the daily yield can be about a few million kilograms, that is, a few thousand tons."
"Uh, if it's too high, you'll have to pay tens of thousands of dollars a day, and by the later stage it will be hundreds of thousands, so you can't afford that much money."
