Chapter 183 Good news, bad news

"Our product mainly consumes peppermint oil." Lu Hong paused and continued, "If you calculate the annual output of 20 million, you will need about 300 tons of peppermint oil. As Lin Dong said, 20 million is a conservative estimate, that is to say, if you sell a little more or open up foreign markets, then you need thousands of tons of mint oil anyway, right?

Lin Ge laughed and said, "In theory, it's like this."

Lu Hong asked, "So Lin Dong doesn't want to use this number?"

Lin Ge laughed: "It goes without saying that the more I consume, the more I sell. I, oh, no, we should make more money!"

Lu Hong also smiled and said, "I hope so too. Lin Dong, I will continue to calculate: the current demand for peppermint oil in China is about 6,000 to 7,000 tons. If we calculate 500 tons, it will account for almost one-tenth of them. One-tenth, this share suddenly rose. Do you think mint oil will not be expensive at that time? As soon as its price goes up, it means that our cost goes up and we earn less.

Lin Ge said, "That's why I'm thinking about building a mint planting base."

"That's good." Lu Hong said, "I just checked the information and found that the price of peppermint oil has fluctuated greatly in recent years, sometimes 50 yuan per catty, sometimes 70 yuan per catty, and more than 100 yuan per catty. Even now, it costs 70 yuan per catty. That is to say, it costs 140,000 yuan per ton. If we want 500 tons, that is, it will cost more than 70 million yuan a year, and if it is thousands of tons, it will cost 140 million yuan. As Lin Dong said, I am also convinced that this product can sell well. So, we can build a mint oil base and produce our own mint oil, which can save at least 20 to 30 million yuan a year.

"I know all of this." Lin Ge smiled and said, "I have calculated that the investment of 100 million yuan does not include the profit of our products. Even if the difference between the cost of peppermint oil and the market price, we can earn it back in three or five years."

Lu Hong hurriedly said, "What I want to say is exactly the price difference. Lin Dong, according to what you mean, where were you going to put this planting base?

Lin Ge said, "If you take local materials, it is convenient for transportation. Of course, it is the west or north of the Pearl River, which is close to Yangcheng."

Lu Hong laughed and said, "I knew that Chairman Lin would think so, but I checked that if you rent mountains over there, it will be at least 70 yuan per mu, and some are even more than 100 yuan. In addition, the Pearl River is relatively developed. People are rich and need to hire them to grow it. The salary is about 2,000 yuan. Looking at our Liucheng side, there are about 40 acres of land, half less than there; it's okay to have a thousand pieces of labor, and it's almost half less. After calculation, there is a price difference of more than 10 million a year. Lin Dong, tens of millions. Even if it's a little far away here, the highways and railways go directly to Yangcheng, and the transportation is also convenient and cheap. How can you save tens of millions?

Lin Ge's heart moved and he meditated for a while before laughing, "Brother Lu, have you figured everything out? It seems that you are a kind-hearted person.

Lu Hong said with a wry smile, "I just thought of it, in order to help an elder."

"That..." Lin Ge hesitated for a moment.

Lu Hong's eyes lit up and he felt that there was a play. He quickly said, "Also, Lin Dong, my elder said that if we invest here, they can all have discounts, such as manpower and land, to help Zhang Luo, which saves us a lot of time and energy. Just let their local government come forward. In addition, if mint and aloe vera planting bases are built, why not build a spice factory to make these spices here? Planting, production and one-stop can save us more costs. It is even said that other spices produced by the spice factory can be exported. As a branch of the company, the spice factory can create profits for the company; on the other hand, it can prevent others from getting stuck in the production of peppermint oil and other links. Lin Dong, you forgot that if our company starts to make a lot of money, many people will be jealous. At that time..."

Lin Ge breathed for a moment and paused and said, "Brother Lu, it seems that you have thought of everything. Well, you can inspect it over there, make a plan, and then bring me the plan. If there is no problem, invest there.

Lu Hong was overjoyed and said after thinking about it, "Lin Dong, I can't do this investigation and plan. You'd better choose another talent."

"That's good." Lin Ge immediately said, "Today is the National Day, the 3rd, yes, the 4th, I will ask the general manager of our company to Liucheng and let him assist you in your work."

Lu Hong said, "I can't control the operation of the company. Let him preside over it."

Lin Ge thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. However, Brother Lu, now the company is busy. The general manager probably doesn't have much time to stay there. You have to do it. When he finishes the inspection and comes back here to finish the product listing, and then finish it, you can invest in your plan in about December.

"Ah, December?" Lu Hong took a look at the nervous Chen Ziming next to him and smiled bitterly, "Lin Dong, can you do it as soon as possible? The elders are anxious."

Lin Ge said helplessly, "It's useless to be in a hurry. I'm too busy here."

"Do you have enough funds?" Lu Hong asked.

"This is no problem." Lin Ge replied.

Lu Hong said in a murmur, "It seems that I'm going to fight for my life. Lin Dong, to be honest, this is what my future father-in-law asked for. I dare not do it."

Lin Ge laughed and said, "The hero is sad about the beauty. I understand. That..."

Lu Hong added, "Actually, I'm in a hurry, which is also out of the interests of the company. Mint is usually planted after the Spring Festival, harvested in June, turned over again, and harvested at the end of the year. Only twice a year can the benefits be maximized. If you wait until December, the land lease, contract, infrastructure, nursery, etc. are finished, you will probably miss the planting season next spring. Now it is confirmed that there are more than three months to celebrate the Spring Festival. It is also a good thing for the company to prepare everything at this time and start planting after the Spring Festival. Do you think so?

Lin Ge sighed, "Brother Lu, you still say that you don't understand the management. Isn't this very thoughtful? You have a point. You sort out the general plan for me, and I'll ask the general manager of the company to go there. If appropriate, you can be responsible for this project for the time being.

Lu Hong was overjoyed and said, "Lin Dong, how much will be invested in this project?"

Lin Ge hesitated and said, "Do you think 200 million is enough?"

"Enough, that's enough!" Lu Hong said quickly, but he was secretly shocked. This Lin Ge was really bold and unparalleled. He thought he would give tens of millions to try, but who knew that a mouth would be 200 million. God, isn't he afraid that this project will be ruined and put the company in a dilemma?

Or, has he been crazy about the bright prospects of Jieyan Dan?

Lu Hong asked himself to put himself in his place. He may not have this kind of state of mind. No wonder Lin Ge can accumulate this kind of money in this unpredictable environment. It's really not in vain!

"That's good." Lin Ge laughed and said, "Brother Lu, I always do it when I think of it. I don't know how to drag it. You sort out the plan, see if it is suitable, and the money will be transferred to you to deal with your father-in-law, haha.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your success." Lu Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him a few more times before hanging up the phone.

"Lu Hong, how's it going?" As soon as Lu Hongcai hung up the phone, Chen Ziming anxiously came up to ask.

Lu Hong looked at him and said with a smile, "Uncle Chen, most of the things have been done. But..."

Chen Ziming was overjoyed when he heard the previous sentence, but he was tormented by the word "but" and hurriedly asked, "But what?"

"The major shareholder of our company said that he should sort out the plan and show him that he can invest if there is no problem." Lu Hong said Lin Ge's idea in detail.

"Really?" Chen Ziming was overjoyed, "What are you waiting for? I'm going to make a plan."

"Ah?" Lu Hong looked at him in embarrassment.

Chen Ziming was stunned at first, and suddenly blamed himself: "Look, I forgot, now is not the time... By the way, how much is your company going to invest?"

Lu Hong stretched out two fingers and said lightly, "200 million."

Chen Ziming's eyes widened and said, "Two hundred million? Ha, that's great, that's great..."

"What's great?" Chen Yuyan, who served the dishes, couldn't help asking strange questions when she saw her father muttering.

Chen Ziming took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Your father's worries can be eliminated. With Lu Hong's 200 million investment, he overfulfilled the task, ha!"

"Lu Hong, have you really found an investment?" Chen Yuyan's beautiful eyes are slightly open.

Lu Hong nodded and said, "It's eight or nine years away."

Chen Ziming was much more relaxed. He took a long breath and said, "Well, Lu Hong, the general manager of your company will not come until the 4th. I can play easily in the past two or three days."

"That's good, Dad, where are we going to play tomorrow?" Chen Yuyan's eyes lit up, "Call Mom, our whole family to play."

Chen Ziming stared at her and said, "It's really rude. Lu Hong came to our house today. Of course, you will go to his house to visit your elders tomorrow!"

The blush gradually climbed up Chen Yuyan's cheek. She said shyly, "Dad, do you have to take care of this?"

Chen Ziming laughed and said, "In a word, I don't have time to accompany you. Lu Hong, you are now the big money owner of our district. I'll report to the district chief's house tomorrow to see how to entertain you.

Lu Hong panicked and said, "Uncle Chen, don't you need it? Besides, the eight characters of this matter have not been skimmed yet.

Chen Ziming waved his hand and said, "This is the rule. Don't worry, I'm familiar with the district chief. Even if we don't reach a cooperation in the end, I won't blame you."

Lu Hong still wanted to talk. Chen Ziming stopped him and said, "Yes, we won't talk about it today. Get ready. It's time to eat soon. Yu Yan, you say hello to Lu Hong, and I'll go in and help your mother?" After saying that, he ran into the kitchen happily.

"Ah?"

Lu Hong and Chen Yuyan looked at each other.

Chen Yuyan glanced at Lu Hong blankly: "Look at you, make my father look like he has won a prize of five million."

Lu Hong smiled bitterly, not only five million, but also 200 million investment!

This is good news for Chen Ziming, but it is bad news for Lu Hong: what kind of plan has greatly increased his workload. In the past two or three days, I have to decide how to black out Zhang Wen's more than 3 billion...
