Chapter 183 182. Luo Yihang's dirty trick
Ma Zhitao had just made a plan in the morning, and the data came out right away.

"We plan to build a standard mushroom house of 600 square meters, with bags of mushroom bags placed on the upper and lower floors of each square meter as one unit, and units will be set up in square meters."

"Each production cycle, which is 30 to 35 days, requires 1.2 mushroom bags, each weighing 3.8 kilograms, 4.56 kilograms of base material, and an estimated production of 5.4 kilograms of oyster mushrooms."

"Of course, this is an ideal situation. The actual production may be less, but the estimated amount is 5 kilograms."

In fact, the horse experts are being conservative.

According to Luo Yihang's experience, the productivity of the mushroom bags that have been nourished by spiritual energy has actually exceeded 1.2 and reached about 1.3.

But it doesn't matter.

The next step is to change the base material of the mushroom bag, and who knows how much it can grow.

After listening to Ma Zhitao's data.

Liu Piaoliang immediately took out her cell phone and opened the calculator.

He also thought about it for a long time, and the data came out of his mouth.

"I'm planning on selling 150 grams of fried mushrooms per serving, which is half the amount sold at the barbecue restaurant. Each store is expected to sell 400 servings a day. This number is not exaggerated. The chicken steak store sells to servings a day, not to mention our mushrooms."

"Each portion is 150 grams, and there are 400 portions per day, so the monthly consumption is 1800 kilograms. 5 kilograms can support about 28 stores, but in reality, there are between 25 and 30 stores."

"With these few stores, we can definitely operate them directly. We can first accumulate experience, train the team, and test the supply chain."

Luo Yihang also thinks it is better to operate directly in the initial stage, which is easier to control.

And direct sales should also be carried out in stages, slowly.

"Are you planning to open more than 20 stores right away?"

Liu Piaoliang waved her hands and shook her head, "I definitely won't do that. I can't take too big a step. I plan to open four or five stores in the first phase, right here in this city."

Luo Yihang nodded. "I also need to test production first. The output is not increasing that fast. It's best for us to proceed at the same time."
-
Qiangwa was very excited when he heard what they were saying.

I thought it was nothing to do with him.

He just stood aside without saying a word, eating and drinking, and watching the show.

How is that possible?

Luo Yihang didn't call him here specifically to be a witness.

After deciding the general direction with Liu Piaoliang.

Luo Yihang turned to Qiang Wa and said, "Qiang Wa, are you interested in opening a factory to make mushroom bags? You just heard me say that I need 12,000 mushroom bags a month. I'd rather make them for you than for others."

"Me?" Qiangwa pointed at himself, his face full of surprise and confusion.

"That's right, come here and I'll tell you..."

Expanding mushroom production is not just about building a shed, it involves many things.

Raw materials, mushroom bags, equipment, mushrooms, personnel, sales channels, an entire industrial chain.

The core of the front end of the industrial chain is the mushroom bag.

Now Luo Yihang purchases all the mushroom bags from manufacturers in Shouguang.

But there are a few problems.

The first is that shipping is expensive.

Secondly, it is impossible to incorporate the raw materials produced by Luo Yihang himself.

Finally, there is another concern. Once the mushrooms become really big and famous, the other party may threaten to raise prices, or the manufacturers may use this for publicity, or they may be exploited to disrupt the market.

Although the probability is small and there are many alternative manufacturers, we should still be on guard.

Therefore, Youjie produces its own mushroom bags.

If you produce it yourself, it involves raw materials and management.

As for the raw materials, Luo Yihang can provide some of them, such as corn stalks, corn cobs and soybean stalks.

But the base material of the mushroom bag is not just corn stalks, there are many other materials.

Local procurement is also required.

I don’t know Luo Yihang well, but I know Qiangwa well.

There is also management. A mushroom bag production factory needs to hire a lot of people and there are a lot of things to do. Luo Yihang himself cannot clone himself, so he really cannot manage it.

But Qiangwa has nothing to do all day and just lies in the store sleeping. He has time and can take care of him.

Finally, there is a future.

At the very least, Luo Yihang produces 12,000 mushroom bags every month, so there is no problem for the mushroom bag factory to survive.

Any remaining business is pure profit.

After explaining the reasons, Luo Yihang said to Qiang Wa, "Expert Ma has promoted a few people who want to try edible fungi these days. If you can attract them, this business will definitely be successful."

Ma Zhitao nodded immediately, "That's right, I haven't been paid in vain these past few months. I went to Liujia Village, which my boss told me about last time, several times. There is a company that makes seedlings and decided to give it a try. They also have a mushroom shed of 1,000 square meters, which is being built, and they plan to use mushroom bags from Shouguang Hongjian Mushroom Industry. But they don't plan to sell it themselves. They have channels and can sell it directly to supermarkets."

...Exactly the same, no wonder expert Ma came up with a solution so quickly.

Luo Yihang was familiar with him when he heard it. "The one who makes seedlings in Liujia Village is Old Man Liu. Qiangwa, you know him very well. If you take over his business, you can make 24,000 bags a month."

"You can produce my mushroom bags separately, using my corn stalks and corn cobs. I want the best matching items. I will give you a purchase price that is 20% higher than the market price."

Luo Yihang also stated the main purpose.

Qiangwa frowned, "How much money do I need to invest?"

Luo Yihang glanced at Ma Zhitao. Ma Zhitao took out his phone and found the information he had looked up when he was writing the proposal, and read: "A production line with four workstations, including a mixer, a loader, a vibrating screen, an electronic control, an automatic bagging machine, and three automatic sealing machines, with a daily output of 4 bags of mushroom bags. It consumes 3 kilowatts of electricity. The price is 1.5 yuan, and the land area is 32 meters long and meters wide."

Qiangwa took Ma Zhitao's mobile phone, looked at the data on it, and summarized the key points.

"I want to rent a factory building that is 4 meters long and meters wide. There are four people working at four workstations, right? Four people are needed to operate the factory, and two more people are needed to stack the materials into the warehouse and bring them in and out. In total, there are six people in total."

"The 24-ton daily output mentioned in the promotional materials must be the optimal solution for -hour non-stop operation without any problems. It's like the fuel consumption published by a car. Don't believe it. If it can produce in four days of normal use, it's good."

"This production line starts with mixing. We also have to buy separate equipment for cleaning, drying, disinfection, and crushing. We don't need to add people, we can just operate them separately."

When Ma Zhitao heard this, he really didn't know and he had no experience in mushroom bag production. He quickly asked Qiang Wa for his cell phone and planned to check it right away.

Qiang Wa waved his hands and said, "I have channels for other machines. I can definitely get them for a total of 30,000 yuan."

As he spoke, he opened his calculator and muttered, "Equipment, factory building, materials... 150,000 is about right."

When Luo Yihang heard it, he asked directly, "Is it convenient for you? I'll lend it to you."

Don't be polite to your own people.

Qiang Wa waved his hand and said, "I still have hundreds of thousands of dollars. I don't need to borrow from you."

After that, he grinned at Luo Yihang and said, "Just now you said that the market price would be raised by 20%, right? The market price is 6 yuan, and you give me 7.2 yuan per bag?"

After so many years, how could Luo Yihang not know him and immediately realize that something was wrong and that he had driven too little?

It's possible. They are producing on a large scale, so the cost must be low.

“Is it too low? How much should be appropriate?”

Qiang Wa smiled again, threw his phone on the table, and pointed at Luo Yihang: "I can't make you die."

Ma Zhitao yelled, "My cell phone."

"This..." It's a bit awkward.

"Hmm?" Luo Yihang also smiled, "Have you calculated it?"

"Of course, they'll be curious after purchasing so many times. The cost of raw materials, if I were to purchase, would be between two and four dollars per bag, depending on the season. If they purchase in large quantities, it will definitely be lower."

"So you agree to do it?"

"I have to think..."

"..."

Liu Piaoliang was anxious because of his hesitation. "Brother Qiang, what are you hesitating about? Brother Luo is offering a guaranteed monthly salary of 12,000 yuan. It's a business that is sure to make money. Why not do it?"

Qiangwa complained awkwardly, "It's too troublesome."

Qiangwa is a fat man named Song Jiang, the timely rain. He is always active for his friends and others.

As for himself, he is lazy, casual, and just lives from day to day, making do with whatever he has.

Sometimes Luo Yihang was worried about him: "You can calculate the cost as the highest 4 yuan, I charge yuan, I make yuan per bag, yuan a month, it's making money, what's the problem."

"How can I really sell it to you for seven dollars and twenty? The corn cob is still yours."

"Isn't this the point? The point is whether to do it or not. Give me a straight answer."

Even after saying this, I still feel unhappy.

"I have to fix the machines and hire people, and I still have a store."

Speaking of recruiting people, "Aren't there a few guys in your village looking for jobs? Why not just recruit them? I'll feel more at ease with you."

Qiang Wa waved his hands after hearing this, "Those guys are no good, they are just scoundrels. Besides, they are from the same village. If they do well, it's ok, but if they do badly, it's hard to say when we meet."

Luo Yihang thought for a moment and smiled evilly, "I'll recruit too. I'll recruit a few, you'll recruit a few, and we'll recruit together."

"Why?" Qiangwa was a little confused.

"Think about it, those guys are just scoundrels, and you're afraid you can't control them. I'm afraid too. They don't work hard because they're resentful, always thinking that other people's work is easy while they're burdened."

"Well, when the time comes that we can't control it anymore, let's switch places. If you don't do well there, you can work here, and if I don't do well here, I can work here. Transfer here, transfer there."

"After the change, those guys realized that it's hard to work anywhere, and there's no free time anywhere. No matter where you work, you'll have to endure hardships and earn little money. After a few times of going through this, they'll behave themselves."

"If he still can't teach well, I'll fire him, and you can talk to him. If he doesn't work hard, I'll move him to another place. If he still doesn't work hard after being replaced, I've done my best, and there's nothing I can do."

Qiangwa is still thinking about it.

Liu Piaoliang, who was listening in, had already changed her tune. "You two are such a cunning pair. You sent a few little kids to work for you. If you can't farm well, you move corn stalks. If you can't move corn stalks well, you go farm. In just two days, you two have tortured all the little kids. Are you playing a two-person show?"

"That's really a rude thing to say." Qiangwa was amused. "Okay, I'll make one. I'll go find a factory and contact someone who sells the equipment tomorrow."

"That's right."

All prerequisites are met.

Luo Yihang took over the initiative and arranged the tasks.

"Yingzi, you will be in charge of operations, finding a store, designing packaging, integrating processes, and starting with the preliminary preparations."

"Qiang Wa, the mushroom bag production factory is looking for people to purchase base materials, mushroom bag, and debug equipment."

“I built a mushroom house and tried to produce it.”

"Once the process is completed, we will meet again to decide on the dishes, prices, and process, and most importantly, the shares."

"We will try to complete all the preliminary preparations within two months and open the business by the end of the year..."
