Chapter 199: Hidden Business Opportunities
"Huzi, have you noticed a problem?" Fang Dajun asked.
"What's the problem?" Xiao Zhonghu was completely confused. He had seen all the vegetable markets in the city, and there was nothing special about it here.
Fang Dajun smiled and said, "Think about it carefully, what are the differences in this vegetable market? Compared to outside?"
"It's really no different!" Xiao Zhonghu said uncertainly. The boss's tone must be a problem, but he really can't think of it.
Fang Dajun shook his head, "The problem is that compared with the population of the steel mill, the market here is too small."
"Too small?" Xiao Zhonghu still didn't understand.
"Yes, I'll do the calculations for you. Take Beidou for example. There are about 150 households on the street, and there are thousands of workers on the steel mill alone. If there are indigenous people, there should be more than 1,200 households. This is an eight-fold gap, but look at the size of this vegetable market, not to mention the size of Beidou, half of it is not enough. Let's talk about how this caused it?" Fang Dajun analyzed that the situation is indeed the case. The steel mill is just a vegetable market, so it shouldn't be like this.
Xiao Zhonghu also reacted immediately, frowned and thought for a moment, and replied, "Should the workers be eating in the food group?"
Fang Dajun still shook his head: "There are only one thousand workers, but the population is seven or eight thousand. Not to mention that workers only make one meal, but all three meals are included, there are still six or seven thousand people who want to eat."
"What's going on?" Xiao Zhonghu was confused and admired the boss even more. Since the boss would ask this, he must know the reason.
Fang Dajun was no longer keeping his mouth shut at this time. He smiled and said, "According to my observation, the situation should be divided into several types. One is that the peddler solved some of the ingredients, and the other is that the snack bar is in the store.
In other words, workers should have the habit of spending outside frequently. After all, this is either in the countryside, and even buying vegetables and cooking by themselves requires money. Moreover, due to the electricity used in daily life, sometimes workers have to eat outside. It is also because of the work time problems of workers. They don’t have time to buy vegetables when they have time.
Finally, not all workers have already started a family, and workers who have already started a family do not necessarily bring their wives and children. This leads to a number of single workers who have paid a salary often spend outside.
To sum up, it is more profitable to open restaurants in steel mills, and there are two types: one is liquidity sales, and the other is fixed store.”
"Boss, do you mean we'll open a restaurant?" Xiao Zhonghu's eyes shined, after all, it was related to food.
Who knew that Fang Dajun shook his head and said, "Opening a restaurant, but it's not considered opening a restaurant. My plan is to buy a small shop with a better location, then make a lot of trolleys, divide the area, cover all the steel mills, and sell snacks in each place. The one I sell for the first time is vermicelli."
"Veramento? They are delicious, but will you make a profit by selling this? Are you willing to eat it?" Xiao Zhonghu had several questions one after another.
Fang Dajun smiled. The lethality of vermicelli is very great, especially for children and women. It has a congenital irresistible advantage, including vermicelli, hot and sour noodles, sauerkraut powder, etc., with flexible and changeable tastes. In addition, the vermicelli he sells is processed from sweet potatoes, and sweet potatoes are coarse grains, so there will be no policy issues in selling this way.
In addition, vermicelli is a quick dish. Soak it in water first and put it in a boiling pot without high heat. It can be boiled on low heat and then cooked on low heat. It is faster than cooking noodles and is more popular. He also has sufficient confidence in operating in a considerable way.
This may not be done to make a big profit, but the potential effect it drives is endless.
He adhered to the mentality of working hard and being lazy. He took advantage of the current interest and holding funds, and immediately mobilized salesmen to take action to find shops, requiring that the place be small, but the traffic at the door was large. In the afternoon, he found it. The location was right at the entrance of the school, elementary school, junior high school, and high school were all connected together.
This is a golden port. The shop is only about 30 square meters. It is also an old house, so the price is not low. It costs 60 yuan a year. It is half expensive than the shop I rented in square meters. Moreover, the shop does not have a toilet and does not have a stove. Even water needs to be picked up next to it. It is really inconvenient and the location is not very good. There are already seven or eight shops at the entrance of the school, all selling children's things and noodle shops. Although it is only a few steps, after opening a shop to do business, you will find that each step is linked to money.
Fang Dajun thought about it and rented it, but the lease period this time was not long, only three years, which made Xiao Zhonghu strange, because the boss took action and contracted land for fifty years, and rented a house, all started in ten years, and this was the first time in three years.
Fang Dajun did not explain much about this. Catering is profitable, but the current conditions do not allow it. Cadres have not yet formed a trend of eating and drinking. This industry is not planned to get too deep into it for the time being. As long as you have the foundation to enter, you can do it slowly in the future.
In the afternoon, the tractor went here and brought the news. It was already tenth. All the equipment in the cement plant had been debugged and installed successfully. Today, the raw materials had been crushed and the first furnace was already being tested. The first furnace was not burned with limestone. After all, the cost price was not cheap. Three yuan per ton. One furnace can burn about thirty tons, and you can get twenty tons of cement clinker, which is about one 1.3 tons of limestone calcined, and mix the remaining materials to get one ton of cement.
The cost of a ton of cement is four yuan alone, which is only higher than that of honeycomb coal. Because the production process is more complicated, if the cost of a ton of honeycomb coal can be suppressed to ten yuan, then cement is about fifteen yuan, which is more than 30%. This gap is not small.
The furnace I burned today is coal gangue, which is free. It will shrink by half when it is calcined, but it is equivalent to slag. The slag is 6 yuan per ton, and the transportation will increase by 50 cents per piece. This is a profit alone. Moreover, coal dust ash can also replace mixed clinker, which is equivalent to selling cement at the price.
Calcining coal gangue in this way is also a relatively important production process. At present, the sales department warehouse cannot use so many plasterers. Fang Dajun thought about it again and again and wrote a note for the tractor master to take it back.
The construction of the second vertical kiln will be started in advance. It will cost about a thousand oceans. This is because there were leftover stones and craftsmen with experience, which can shorten the construction period and be completed within ten days.
After completion, this vertical kiln is used to specifically calcinate coal gangue. The reason for this is that the coal gangue does not require rapid cooling after calcination. Therefore, if the previous vertical kiln is occupied, it is a waste because refrigeration equipment cannot be used.
Because of this, he can now use the second vertical kiln to calcinate coal gangue, occasionally burn a furnace, or even use lime or other products to calcinate when free.
Seeing the tractor go away, he didn't follow him back, and was still delayed in the steel factory, and there was still something he hadn't finished.
Tomorrow is November 11, 1982, as a traditional Singles' Day. Uh! He doesn't want to spend it alone, so he will go back tomorrow morning.
"Single's Day. Boss, what does this mean?" Xiao Zhonghu was confused again.
Fang Dajun smiled and did not explain much. Only single men in later generations can experience this traditional festival. It is full of tears. It is better to travel through time earlier. I don’t know if the grand occasion will be fought for this year in later generations. The grand occasion is not there, but he has the opportunity to dominate the Singles’ Day in later generations!
On the afternoon of that day, the place he went to was a food station. Although the animal husbandry station was responsible for livestock epidemic prevention and taxation issues, slaughtering and trafficking were under the jurisdiction of the food station. There was such an institution in the town.
He went to discuss business and gave money. As for why he didn't use the convenience of the commune to slaughter it directly, it was because the meat parts he needed were a bit special.
What we need this time are pig stick bones, pig blood, and pig intestines. These three things are treasures sold with vermicelli. They are in great demand, and the fresher they are, the better, because there is no refrigerator available now.
Things went smoothly. These three things were not mainstream consumption. They were only purchased with special family needs. Stewing soup with sticks and bones took time and it was impossible to eat pig blood every day. If you think about the taste, it would also consume oil. Not everyone liked the pig intestine, and it was not convenient for home cooking.
Fang Dajun's orders are not large now, but he just talked about his intentions first. The most important amount is still a bit more important. On average, about ten pigs are to be slaughtered every day, which is simply weak. With a population of seven or eight thousand, there are only ten pigs every day, and one pig is killed out. All parts, including the internal organs, are not weighing 100 pounds, which is equivalent to five pigs in later generations. This is still consumed in large-scale enterprises, which shows how bleak the current living standards are.
As soon as he finished this, he began to walk from the street to the end of the street, and took Xiao Zhonghu seriously to record everything he thought was useful. This is first-hand information and may be used at any time.
In the evening, a honeycomb coal promotion was suddenly launched, which made Xiao Zhonghu confused. He chose to promote the townships in the morning, but why did he choose to choose the evening here, and the situation was very large.
After the effect came out, Xiao Zhonghu and others were impressed, and the effect was unexpectedly good. No wonder others could be the factory manager. This vision was so vicious. It seemed that Fang Dajun had never missed his hand once when he debuted. Everything he was sure of was finally confirmed to be correct.
Gradually, his prestige was reflected. Even if the people below did not understand the things they were told, they would not have so many questions. Even if they had to ask, they would only ask them in the past. This saved him a lot of trouble of explanation. It was necessary that he would not have time to explain these things that would be reflected in the future.
The sky is beautiful tonight, with stars everywhere, and the Big Dipper is still dazzling, exactly the same as it will be in thirty years later. The legendary lunar eclipse will have to wait for more than ten years, and the solar eclipse will have to wait for more than twenty years. His life has been ahead of thirty years.
It turns out that it is easy to be sentimental when you are single. After this year, farmers will be assigned to the land. Not to mention wealth, at least everyone can have enough food. Can he consider lifelong events in advance?
"Or it's better to get married next year!" Fang Dajun gave in, turned sideways and pulled the quilt and went to bed.
Early the next morning, the sun rose from the east as usual, as if purple air was rising. According to ancient books, this scene means that a saint was about to come out, shook his head, and quickly sobered himself a little bit, put a large package into the carriage. It has been a week since it was time to go back. I originally planned to go directly to the city after the steel plant was over, but for thousands of years, wasn't this a mistake for a Singles' Day?
He was deeply touched by this festival. This year, he said that he could not live alone, otherwise his time traveling life would be too failure. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
