80s Taoism

"Biaohua, when I was in Zijiang, I heard from Master Chen that black tea in bamboo tubes could not be bought for a few hundred yuan a box, and some even sold for a thousand yuan a box. How much did you earn last year?" Liu Qiaoye asked.

"A few hundred yuan? A thousand yuan? Not that much. All my black tea in bamboo tubes was purchased by the Zijiang City Government, all of which cost 220 yuan a box. The tea factory in Zijiang City gave it at this price. Seventy-seven eighty-eight bucks were deducted, and it seemed to be one hundred and fifty-six boxes. There is an account book." Zhang Jiaohua found out an account book.

As a child, Zhang Jiaohua didn't have much interest in accounts. However, he only got one or two hundred black tea in bamboo tubes that sold for hundreds or even thousands of yuan in the market, which was a bit of a loss. But there is no way, Meishan black tea is in his hands, there is no way to sell it, maybe it can't even be sold for more than a hundred. Zhao Jinyuan also said before that all Meishan black tea is used to supply government orders. Although there is a lot of losses in the short term, it is the best way to promote black tea in bamboo tubes.

Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye calculated for the whole day, and finally calculated the accounts clearly, and made a lot of money, much more than Zhang Youping's recycling station. Moreover, the bamboo tube black tea is still at an extremely low price. If the price of black tea in a bamboo tube can reach the normal price, the amount of money will have to be multiplied at least several times.

"More than 260,000." Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye looked at each other. Both had unbelievable looks in their eyes. They knew that Jiaohua made a lot of money before, but they didn't expect to make so much money.

"This year's tea production will definitely increase. If it stays at last year's level, I'm afraid the profit will be even more." Zhang Youping made some calculations.

"That's right. The tea trees in the gardening farm were almost dying. I don't know how the beggars revived these tea trees. This year's tea trees are growing better than they were in the previous production team. The output must be double that of last year." Liu Qiaoye nodded.

"Other gardening farms should be similar. It seems that he remodeled the beggars. Then the output of other gardening farms will also increase this year. My mother, if you calculate it like this, won't you earn more than half a million yuan this year?" Zhang Youping thought that he had earned tens of thousands of dollars from Guangdong and Dongdong, which was already very powerful.

But the situation changed in the blink of an eye.

When Zhang Jiaohua returned home from school, Luo Changjun hurried to Meiziao and brought the news about the Zijiang tea factory.

"Originally, I wanted people from the tea factory in Zijiang City to come to Meizi'ao to discuss this year's contract, but they didn't want to, so they asked to go to Zijiang City to talk. The newly appointed director of the tea factory, Fei Zhenglu, is very impressive." Luo Changjun was very excited, but also a little nervous.

"Since they don't want to continue to cooperate, there's no need to talk about it anymore." Zhang Jiaohua shook his head, there was no need to go over to ask others to cooperate like this.

"However, the tea factory in our county has been closed for many years, and there is no sales channel at all. Maybe it will cause a large backlog of tea and cause huge losses to the tea farm. The expansion plan of the tea industry in the county will also face huge challenges." Luo Changjun expressed his worries.

The growth of tea trees in various tea farms is gratifying, and the tea production in Xintian County this year is bound to rise to a higher level. Even if such a large amount of tea production could not be digested by the Xintian County Tea Factory in the past, not to mention that the Xintian County Tea Factory has been out of production for so many years, and it is not an easy task to resume production. And the plucking of tealeaves all is concentrated in a time period, if can not process in time, tealeaves will be wasted in vain.

We must know that the tea production in Xintian County last year was as high as more than 6,000 tons. Although this is only the production of raw tea, it is not a large amount for the city tea factory. But for the Xintian County Tea Factory, it was already an astronomical figure.

This change caught Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye by surprise. Because of the gardening field, Zhang Youping has given up on the recycling bin, which has a little hope. If the gardening farm fails to do something, what can we do in the future?

"I can find a way to increase the production of black tea in bamboo tubes." Zhang Jiaohua whispered.

Luo Changjun shook his head, "How effective would that be? Even if the output of your black tea in bamboo tubes is increased tenfold, it still won't be able to digest much tea."

"We can set up a factory to digest all the tea." Zhang Jiaohua thought for a while and said.

Luo Changjun was taken aback, "Set up a factory in Meizi'ao?"

Zhang Jiaohua nodded, "Our dark tea is so good, the Zijiang Tea Factory wanted to take advantage of the black tea in bamboo tubes before. Why can't we take advantage of the reputation of black tea in bamboo tubes? By the way, since we don't cooperate with Zijiang Tea Factory, they will definitely not be willing to send our black tea in bamboo tubes abroad to participate in awards. We have to find a way to use our own tea factory to send out the tea."

Luo Changjun's eyes lit up, "Yes! As long as we win the World Gold Award internationally, we don't need to advertise our tea, and others will take the initiative to come to you. The tea factory in Zijiang City, let them regret it at that time. It's a good way to call flowers. It's better for you to set up the factory yourself. Don't worry about the funds. I will go back and report to the county leaders. Although it is different from the original idea of ​​the county, the result is the same. As for where to build the factory, should we carefully consider it? The transportation in Meiziao is really not very convenient. If the tea in the county Sending all of them here will not only cost a lot, but also affect the quality of the tea. It is better to build the tea factory in the county. Or even directly contract the tea factory in the county, so that the site is ready-made. It can save a lot of money.”

Unknowingly, Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye let Zhang Jiaohua decide. After Luo Changjun left, the couple came back to their senses.

Liu Qiaoye gently grabbed Zai Zai's ear, "You child, why are you so courageous? Do you think setting up a factory is just a joke? Our family's little money may not even take a chance."

"That's right. Thousands of tons of tea, even if it's a few cents a catty, will cost millions of dollars. If the tea can't be sold, the interest alone will be a huge sum of money every day." Although Zhang Youping is also a person who started his own business, he is really not that kind of guy if he is asked to start a million-dollar factory all at once.

"Father, the tea leaves are not picked in a day. Didn't Uncle Rob say that he will find a way to get some low-interest loans." Zhang Jiaohua has no concept of money, and he will not look forward and backward. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He didn't even think about the troubles he would face if he failed.

Zhang Jiaohua regards this adventure as a breakthrough in his practice. The old Taoist master said that cultivating the Tao is going against the sky. If you don't have the courage, how can you change your luck? It never occurred to him to fail.

Luo Changjun hurried back to Xintian County and immediately reported to Deng Junshan.

"They want to set up their own factories? What about the county tea factory?" Deng Junshan originally wanted to solve the problem of the county tea factory.

"I decided that the county can contract out the county tea factory. Comrade Zhang Youping is the best candidate. Otherwise, if the county tea factory continues like this, it will inevitably become a burden that the county cannot get rid of. The private economy is more flexible, and Comrade Zhang Youping has mastered the key technology of tea production. In this way, they can dispel their doubts. You can safely and boldly engage in tea processing." Seeing that Deng Junshan still had doubts, Luo Changjun quickly explained the pros and cons of it.

Deng Junshan nodded, "But, does Zhang Youping personally have so much money to invest in tea factories?"

"Of course not. Can the county find a way to apply for a poverty alleviation loan from the province? After all, if the tea factory is completed, it will be very important for the farmers in our county to get rid of poverty and become rich." Luo Changjun knew that Xintian County, as a poor county, would receive a certain amount of poverty alleviation loans every year. These loans are low-interest or even interest-free.

"I'll think about it." Deng Junshan didn't make a decision immediately.

"Zhang Jiaohua said that the production of black tea in bamboo tubes can be increased this year." Luo Changjun added.

Deng Junshan looked up at Luo Changjun, did not speak immediately, and said after a while, "How are you handling the bamboo tube black tea's participation in the World Agricultural Expo?"

"The tea factory in Zijiang City is really planning to remove the black tea in the bamboo tube. The provincial government does not agree, because the dark tea in the bamboo tube is the most likely to win the gold medal. My idea is to let Comrade Zhang Youping register the tea factory first, and send the tea to the newly registered tea factory to participate in the evaluation." Luo Changjun said.

"This matter must be done quickly." Deng Junshan said.

Zhang Youping still decided to set up a factory in Meiziao. Although the county is indeed much more convenient in terms of transportation or other aspects. But it's also much more complicated in every way. At that time, there may be various constraints. The tea factory in the county is a mess. When taking over the tea factory in the county, it will also take over all the troubles of the tea factory.

Instead of this, it is better to rebuild the factory. Zhang Youping is not prepared to invest too much. He knows his own ability. It is okay to set up a recycling station, but it is impossible to manage a large factory. So he is going to take it step by step.

Nearly 300,000 yuan is mainly used to build factories and buy some necessary machines, which is basically enough. In addition, some experienced tea masters were invited. They also invited some tea-making masters from the retired workers of the Zijiang tea factory through Zhao Jinyuan. Some of these people gave up their positions to their children early and retired early. This situation is not uncommon in state-owned enterprises.

This is also to blame for Deng Junshan's delay in replying. Now that Meizi'ao Garden has broken ground, even if Deng Junshan agreed, it would be too late. Luo Changjun felt very sorry.
