Divorce in middle age: starting with the manor system

Chapter 124 122, Star Feed Factory
"Hi, what's the matter?"

As soon as Wu Qingfeng came to the door, he saw a young security guard stop him.

Wu Qingfeng explained the purpose of his visit, and the security guard yelled a few words into the walkie-talkie, and a young man in his 30s walked over from the inside of the factory building.

"Hello, who are you?" The young man looked at Wu Qingfeng, then smiled and stretched out his hand to ask.

Wu Qingfeng shook hands casually, and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm here to buy feed, I wonder if I can meet your boss?"

"I am the owner of this feed factory, my name is Han Tao, please come in and chat!"

Wu Qingfeng was taken aback, the owner of the feed factory was so young.

Wu Qingfeng followed the owner of the feed factory to an office.

In the middle, he took a look. This small feed factory was not small, covering an area of ​​seven or eight acres. But he just looked inside through the window from the corner of his eye, and found that no feed was being produced inside, and there were not even many workers.

"Drink tea, please. I don't know where your farm is?" Han Tao made some tea and brought it to Wu Qingfeng, asking curiously.

He has been running a feed factory for several years, and he knows all the pig farmers of a certain size near Hengcheng, but this is the first time he has seen Wu Qingfeng.

In addition, Wu Qingfeng has a handsome face, fair skin, good attire, and good temperament, and he doesn't look like a pig farmer at all.

"Under construction!" Wu Qingfeng laughed.

Han Tao nodded when he heard the words. It turned out that it hadn't been completed yet.

"What's your name sir?"

"My name is Wu Qingfeng!" Wu Qingfeng said after taking a sip of tea. This tea is good and tastes good.

"I don't know how many tons of feed Mr. Wu needs. At present, my factory is clearing the inventory due to personal reasons. If you want more, I can give you a bargain price, but because it is clearing the inventory, I can't credit it!" Han Tao said.

"This feed factory is going to close down?" Wu Qingfeng was taken aback. He said why there was no movement in the factory building just now. There are not many workers in such a large factory, so it turns out that it cannot continue to operate.

"Eh...!" Han Tao suddenly smiled wryly.

Wu Qingfeng noticed Han Tao's uneasiness, and quickly smiled and said, "Boss Han, don't worry, I am a straight-talking person."

"It's just, Boss Han, I'm a little puzzled. As the largest feed factory in Hengcheng, why can't your feed factory continue to operate?"

"The feed factory should be a very good industry!"

Although Wu Qingfeng doesn't know much about feed factories, the profits of feed factories are very high, especially for this kind of township feed factories, most of the raw materials are purchased from rural areas, and the cost is even lower.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, there are many pig farms in villages and towns, but there are relatively few large-scale pig farms.

This has led to low sales of feed, but the accumulation of small amounts makes a lot, and the addition of piecemeal sales is quite impressive.

"Mr. Wu, the feed factory is not as good as you imagined. Although there are many breeding farms in Hengcheng and other counties and towns, there are more small workshop feed factories. They lower the price and make small profits but sell more.

There are even large feed factories in the city vying for market space, so I basically can't continue to operate here.

Since last year, I have been losing money every month. If I continue to lose money, my wife will be kicked out. I might as well stop work and production, dispose of the factory buildings and machines, and collect the credit and debt. This has been going on for several years. Although I have not made any money, But it’s a blessing that we didn’t lose much! " Han Tao said with a bitter smile.

It is said that there is not much loss, so how is it possible, a few years of manpower, a few years of youth.

Wu Qingfeng nodded and did not continue to ask.

If people are going to close their doors, they must not make money. If they make money, who will close their doors!

"I wonder if you can show me your feed factory?"

"It's my first time here, so I'm curious!" Wu Qingfeng laughed.

"If you are interested, yes!" Han Tao said with a smile.

Although I don't know how many tons of feed Wu Qingfeng needs, but now the stock is selling a little bit, and anyway, he is fine, so he can just spend time with customers.

In this way, the two left the office, and under the leadership of Han Tao, they came to the production workshop, where several workers were sleeping. When they saw Han Tao coming, they hurriedly got up.

Han Tao glanced at a few workers and was speechless, obviously used to it.

"These machines are quite new?" Wu Qingfeng came to several machines and said with a smile.

"It only took three or four years."

"This is a sieving machine, mainly for filtering residues and qualified raw materials!" Han Tao introduced the machine in front of Wu Qingfeng.

"The raw materials still need to be screened?" Wu Qingfeng asked in surprise.

"Of course, because of the various raw materials, there will be soil, stones, and rotten shells. These things must be sieved, otherwise it will affect the finished feed, and even pigs may get sick after eating it."

"Those family-owned feed factories basically don't have this kind of thing, but their prices are low, and small and medium-sized farmers don't know much about feed, they only recognize the price!" Han Tao explained, and finally complained.

Wu Qingfeng smiled when he heard this. This is the standard bad money driving out good money. The main reason is information asymmetry, because small and medium-sized farmers do not realize the danger of residues.

After all, the residue is harmful, but with the pig's digestive system, it is not fatal at all.

Of course, if this stuff adds up to a lot, there will be more or less problems.

"Then what is the specific production process of your feed?" Wu Qingfeng asked.

There are various machines in the factory, and the production process seems quite complicated.

Han Tao was taken aback, and looked at Wu Qingfeng curiously, why are you interested in machines and production processes when you buy feed?

However, these are not secrets. Although Han Tao was puzzled, he still nodded.

"First of all, when the raw materials come to the feed factory, we will take some samples to the laboratory for testing. If they meet our standards, they will be kept. If they do not meet the standards, they will be returned to the raw material supplier."

"After that, it enters the sieving machine, then enters the pulverizer for crushing, and then mixes the formula, then enters the mixer to mix the raw materials, and then sends it to the granulator over there."

Wu Qingfeng followed Han Tao to the granulator. Han Tao touched the granulator and said: "This is the granulator. We will granulate at a high temperature of 90.00 degrees Celsius, which can kill more than [-]% of the pellets. , there are germs in the raw materials to ensure the absolute safety of the feed.”

"I see, it's quite troublesome!" Wu Qingfeng nodded after hearing this, which is regarded as gaining insight.

Han Tao shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not all. The particles need to be checked to see if they are the same length and whether there is any color difference. After cooling, they have to go in for grading and screening. After that, the samples need to be tested. Only after the test is qualified and the data reaches the standard can they be used. Sealing machine, bagged and shipped."

"I've learned a lot, so this place is so professional?" Wu Qingfeng was taken aback. He really has learned a lot. This is food for pigs, so isn't it safer than food for people?
"Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. When I first built this feed factory, I followed the most advanced feed factory as a template."

"Unfortunately, no matter how professional you are, in our small place, you can't compete with a small feed factory from Ye Luzi!" Han Tao smiled pessimistically.

Those family-style workshop feed factories don’t need to choose raw materials, and even the ratio of the formula is adjusted at will, or some have no formula, and they can add whatever they want, what’s more, they don’t even have a granulator, and they are all in powder form Feed, but just like this, his professional factory was also brought down.

He didn't know whether he should blame himself for being too professional. If he learned a family workshop, he might make more money than he does now.
