After the construction of the factory was completed, when Feng Xingtai went to collect the money, many people in the village felt that Feng Xingtai was not a scammer. They also wanted to invest in the factory.
Feng Xingtai followed Feng Yu's instructions. Other than the 7 families and Wen Dongjun's family, the rest of the families can only invest 1,000 RMB. Also, there were risks involved in investing. If anyone had any objections, they can choose not to invest. This was a private enterprise, and the boss had the final say!
3 production lines had been sent to Bing City. At the same time, 3 engineers were hired to work at the factory for 1 year. These engineers had worked at Hua Xia 30 years ago. But at that time, they were not experts.
Kirilenko told Feng Yu that there were more than a dozen people who were interested, but they were worried. The 3 engineers who came first were from the poorest families. If the 3 of them were willing to stay, there might be more people willing to come next year.
The 3 engineers were experts in the machinery industry. They would guide the assembly of the production lines, adjust the machinery and also help to improve the factory's old equipment.
The machinery that the Machinery Factory ordered was cheap, but it was more than 10 years more advanced than the factory's original equipment. Li Mingde heard that the machinery had been ordered, but it would only be delivered next month. He was anxious.
The earlier the machinery was delivered, the earlier the machinery could be replaced. The obsolete machinery could also be sold to the smaller factories. Li Mingde could also get some benefits. Also, he had reported to the City Government about this batch of machinery, and the City Government had agreed to fund it. Why was the Russians so slow?
Feng Yu asked Kirilenko to send over the machinery for the food processing factory first. The 3 experts also need to adjust the machinery first.
The food processing factory had started to use the funds raised to collect soybeans and sugar beets. The formula to make animal feed from the oil and sugar processing factory was also bought from the Provincial Animal Husbandry Department. It was suitable for the Soviet Union's machinery.
Trucks drove into the factory, and the machinery was installed under the instructions of the 3 experts. Each of the experts was assigned with a professional translator with a daily salary of 10 RMB.
Feng Yu had specially returned from Bing City. He was afraid that the Village's people would neglect the 3 Soviet Union experts. This was a treasure, and Feng Yu still needed it. Furthermore, this was related to whether he could hook up with the other experts.
"Ready, 3, 2, 1, start!"
Buzz ~ ~ ~
The machine began to hum, and the clean soybeans fell into the cylinder. After a while, yellow soybean oil began to flow out of the oil outlet.
"Success ~ ~ ~"
Everyone was cheering. Just the installation itself had taken a long time. Their faces were filled with joy as they succeeded on their first try.
But the Soviet Union expert looked at the quality of the oil and frowned. The filter plug should have leaked, and there should be some impurities in the oil. Everything else was fine.
The director of the district's Food and Oil Factory was also there. Although he said that he was there for a learning tour, he was actually there to see what Tai Hua Food Processing Factory could do with the Soviet Union's advanced equipment. He watched for a while and discussed with the people beside him. Then, he sneered disdainfully and turned to leave.
If their Grain and Oil Factory were to use the same method last year, they would not be able to compete with this Soviet Union machine. But now that the higher-ups had started to promote the leaching method, the oil yield was not worse than this, and it might even be higher in the future. The Grain and Oil Factory had the support of the granary, and they had a lot of raw materials. This Tai Hua Food Processing Factory was not a threat to them. Feng Yu wondered what the Officer was thinking. Not only he agreed to help them with all the paperwork, but he also agreed to supply electricity to this private factory.
Feng Yu had purposely suggested to supply electricity to the Farm Chief. The factory's investment was more than 2 million RMB, and they need more workers. Feng Yu only mentioned about supplying electricity to the Farm Chief, and he agreed without hesitation. Even if the Officer's office had a blackout, Tai Hua Food Processing Factory would not have a blackout!
There was a shortage of electricity in the whole country, and it was the same for the farms. During the peak periods of industrial production in some cities, the farms would have limited electricity during the day and at night.
Farming was not affected by the limited electricity supply. But if the factories did not have enough electricity, they would have to work on and off every day. How were they going to make money?
The oil and sugar processing machines had all been tested, and they were all working. The commissioning was also completed. The efficiency was much higher than China, and it also saved less electricity.
Tomorrow, after testing the feed processing machines, Feng Yu planned to return to Bing City. At night, Feng Xingtai suddenly told Feng Yu that the factory might not be able to make a lot of money.
"Dad, how can this be? The bean residue and beet residue from the oil and sugar processing can be mixed with corn and wheat to make animal feed. This will lower the cost. The oil and sugar production will be higher. Especially the white sugar, the taste will be sweeter. I will take care of the sales. What's there to worry about? "
"I heard that the Grain and Oil Factory had started to change their technology. They changed the pressing method to the leaching method. The oil produced by the leaching method will not be lower than us. How are we going to make money?"
Feng Yu smiled and shook his head: "Dad, just wait and see. Brother Li will bring two people over in two days. Just do as they say. I guarantee that we will make a lot of money."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Two days later, Li Shiqiang arrived at Tai Hua Food Processing Factory with a truck. He unloaded a bunch of custom-made transparent plastic bottles.
"Xiao Li, are these used to store oil? Aren't we going to use big barrels? " Now, most of the people would go to the Grain and Oil Shop or the Grain and Oil Factory to buy oil in bulk. Li Shiqiang had never seen this kind of small plastic bottles before.
The people in the city were worse off than those in the district. If they wanted to buy these, they would need to buy oil tickets. Without tickets, the price would be higher or they would need to know someone.
"Uncle Feng, this is the bottle we will be using to store the oil. This bottle can hold 1.5 liters of oil (1.6 liters)."
"Isn't this too small? How long can a pot last? Plastic pots cost quite a lot too, right? "Feng Xingtai knew that it was his prodigal son's idea. Why? Selling oil and using a bottle?
"Xiao Yu said that he wants small bottles. But there is a big bottle that can hold 10 liters. I will send it over in two days. These soybean oil will be sold by our Bing City's Tai Hua Trading Company. 15 cents for 1 catty of oil. "
"Huh? 15 cents for 1 catty of oil? That's too expensive. Who will buy it? "Feng Xingtai shouted. The Grain and Oil Factory was selling the oil for only 11 cents for 1 catty of oil.
"Uncle Feng, you don't understand. This 15 cents is for Tai Hua Food Processing Company. Tai Hua Trading will be selling it for at least 20 cents!"
"20 cents for 1 catty? How can it be so expensive? How much does pork cost? "
"Uncle Feng, just trust Xiao Yu. He said that this is a high-end product. This is for the people in the city. We will supply Bing City first, and then we will market it to the rest of the province. Next year, the whole province will have Tai Hua Premium oil. "
"Huh? Premium oil? Isn't this just ordinary soybean oil? "The more Feng Xingtai listened, the more confused he became.
"Uncle Feng, we have chosen the best soybean oil, right? The process is more advanced, and the oil had been filtered a few times. Is it better than the oil we bought from the Grain and Oil Factory? This is premium oil! You have seen it in the city. There are a lot of rich people in the city now. If this oil is more expensive, they will surely buy it. Don't worry. We are not lying. Xiao Yu said that we will surely make money! "
