Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

With the expansion of Pinliangpu in the national market and the growth of direct-operated fruit stores, the demand for fruit is far greater than before.

Wang Dadong was very excited after receiving the news and promised to fully cooperate in adjusting the distribution plan to support the new dried fruit production line.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qi turned to Lin Yifeng and said, "Leave the fruit supply to me. The quality is absolutely reliable. For the vegetables, you need to contact the supplier yourself, okay?"

"No problem." Lin Yifeng answered very straightforwardly.

Zhou Qi continued to teach: "A good manager is not one who does everything himself, but one who knows how to delegate to the right people, so that he can free up time to do more important things."

Lin Yifeng said hesitantly, "I think I can still handle it now."

Zhou Qi smiled and said bluntly: "Look at your current state, can you really do it? It's so hard to just renovate a part of the factory. If we expand the scale and increase the output, can you handle it?"

Hearing "expand the scale", Lin Yifeng was stunned and looked at Zhou Qi in confusion: "Mr. Zhou, are you saying...?"

Zhou Qi did not respond directly, but picked up his phone again and dialed County Magistrate Bai Minghui's number: "County Magistrate Bai, I need your help with something..."

An enthusiastic voice came from the other end: "Xiao Zhou, just tell me what you have to say. Why are you being so polite to me?"

After all, Zhou Qi made his daughter a star.

Zhou Qi's father was filled with relief, because Zhou Qi's kindness to his daughter was extraordinary.

One day, Zhou Qi said bluntly: "I plan to buy the old Chaohui Foundry in Banshi Village and expand the scale of production."

If we want to bring dried fruit products to the national market, we must increase equipment and output, but the existing factory buildings are clearly not enough.

The factory was only leased; the real ownership belongs to the county government.

In order to expand, Zhou Qi had to obtain ownership of the land.

In addition, the land around the factory belongs to farmers. If he wants to expand the scope, he needs to purchase these lands, and it would be best if he can obtain supporting documents from the county government.

Neither of these things is easy to resolve.

County Mayor Bai Minghui is the most suitable person to deal with these issues.

"This matter is a bit tricky." Bai Minghui said hesitantly, "You know, the original investor ran away with a large sum of money and his whereabouts are still unknown. There are many complicated links involved."

"County Magistrate Bai, I know it's very difficult," Zhou Qi replied, "but I hope you can help me with the operation. As for the financial gap left, I can fill it."

Hearing this, Bai Minghui paused in surprise: "Did you know that this factory owes more than one million in debt?"

"No problem." Zhou Qi responded calmly.

Bai Minghui took a deep breath and realized that this amount was an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but it might be nothing for a successful entrepreneur like Zhou Qi.

Considering that Zhou Qi's daughter is already earning a good income, his own wealth, as the boss of multiple businesses, is naturally even more considerable.

"Are you sure?" Bai Minghui confirmed again.

"Absolutely sure." Zhou Qi said firmly.

"Okay, I'll help you with this." Bai Minghui agreed. "Your factory employs local villagers, promotes rural development, and actively participates in poverty alleviation projects. These are good things that should be supported."

Zhou Qi smiled and thanked County Magistrate Bai, and said he was looking forward to good news from him.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yifeng expressed his doubts: "It doesn't seem cost-effective to spend so much money to buy a factory? More than one million is enough to rent several places."

Lin Yifeng’s opinion does make sense. At least for now, renting is more economical than buying.

But Zhou Qi sees the long term.

The location of the second factory is quite special. When the factory was built, part of the farmland was occupied. This was specially approved at the time and was also a means to attract investment.

This land is very valuable and will soon become difficult to acquire.

Zhou Qi saw an opportunity and wanted to buy as much surrounding land as possible, because once the state expropriated the land, the compensation amount would be very considerable.

However, Zhou Qi did not intend to explain these complicated interests to Lin Yifeng in detail. It was enough for him to know that spending more than one million to buy this factory was a wise move.

The next day, Bai Minghui called to inform that the factory could be sold to Zhou Qi, but it still had to be nominally registered under the name of the county government.

This didn't matter to Zhou Qi. The key was to ensure that the property rights belonged to him. The final transaction price was set at 1.2 million. Zhou Qi had no objection and quickly completed the payment procedures.

As for the expansion of the factory, with the help of Bai Minghui, it progressed smoothly. According to Zhou Qi's requirements, the factory area was expanded to three times the original size.

In fact, this scale is more than enough even to cover the national market.

Zhou Qi did this mainly to seize the opportunity to occupy more land resources.

Under the pretext of helping farmers get out of poverty, it has become easier to acquire land, and the main task is to pay farmers corresponding compensation.

All these matters were handed over to Lin Yifeng to handle, which could be considered a kind of training for him.

A few days later, all the procedures were completed, and Zhou Qi spent a total of about 1.6 million yuan, providing farmers with compensation far higher than the standard.

The local residents were satisfied with Zhou Qi's approach and their faces were filled with smiles.

After all, compared with the small amount of compensation given during the construction of Chaohui Foundry, the treatment this time is much better.

After obtaining the land use rights, Zhou Qi immediately started the factory expansion project and once again handed the task over to Lin Yifeng.

For Lin Yifeng, all of this is a new challenge.

In this process, he deeply experienced the hardships and difficulties of starting a business.

Although he encountered many difficulties, he never complained, but did his best to complete every task.

Zhou Qi's words woke him up: a person's energy is limited, and a successful manager must know how to cultivate and manage a team.

From then on, he began to attach importance to this, not only looking for talents in rural areas, but also expanding to county towns to recruit talents.

After several days of hard work, the factory expansion finally got on track.

At this time, Zhou Qi proposed a new challenge - to improve production efficiency and prepare to bring the product to market.

Although Lin Yifeng was getting thinner, his eyes became more determined.

Zhou Qi has been observing him and putting pressure on him at the right time. He believes that only after going through the tempering of fierce fire can true gold be forged; otherwise, it will be eliminated.

Of course, Zhou Qi also secretly gave support to ensure that Lin Yifeng could persevere.

Not long after, the first batch of dried fruits entered the county market and gradually gained popularity through tasting activities.

Such a small-scale promotion is necessary for new products, and this step is similar to the approach taken when launching canned fruits.
