Chapter 0083 Tea Base
Yuan Ling's enthusiasm for work is really high and she is very concerned about the tea base. Now, the next morning, when Zeng Zhi came back to deliver vegetables and entered the door, he saw that the girl was already waiting for him in the house, saying that she wanted to discuss the implementation plan of the tea base with him.
Zeng Zhi had already considered this matter last night, and he proposed two plans to Yuan Ling.
The first one is the simplest and most direct, which is to rent their tea gardens from villagers at a certain price. Zeng Zhi hopes that the rental price is within 1,000 yuan per acre per year, with a lease period of at least five years, and the rent is paid every year. However, from the second year, a certain proportion of the contract price in the previous year can be increased.
The second plan is to set up a cooperative, with Zeng Zhi responsible for running the tea base. Residents invest in their own tea gardens, but they only enjoy dividend rights and cannot interfere with Zeng Zhi's business. In this plan, Zeng Zhi agreed to give out 30% of the profit as the shares occupied by residents.
Yuan Ling immediately expressed her choice to adopt a second plan, but Zeng Zhi did not agree. He asked Yuan Ling to convene a village meeting and the residents decided which plan to adopt.
Under the organization of Yuan Ling and Zeng Lingxu, the villagers' meeting was held soon. Because the village was not big, there were not many villagers at home, and there were only more than 700 people, the villagers' meeting convened all the villagers at home for a meeting. However, only one person in each family could attend the meeting.
The results of the meeting were also announced soon, and about half of the villagers agreed to adopt the first plan, while the other half agreed to adopt the second plan.
This was a problem, and finally made a concession. The two solutions were adopted. If the first one was agreed, Zeng Zhi rented their tea garden at a price of 1,000 yuan per acre in the first year, and the rent increased by 5% from the second year. If the second one agreed, they would invest in their tea gardens and sign a ten-year lease contract, each acre of tea gardens accounting for 0.1% of the shares.
However, Zeng Zhi agreed to rent out two large tea mountains in the village. As for the rest of the scattered tea gardens on the edge of their respective lands, he did not rent them. In the end, after measurement, he agreed to rent the tea garden directly to Zeng Zhi, about 140 acres. However, those who agreed to invest in the tea garden were about 180 acres. In other words, Zeng Zhi will take out 18% of the shares and let the villagers invest.
Under Yuan Ling's supervision, Zeng Zhi quickly signed a contract with the villagers. Because spring tea has been widely picked and the second season of tea has only begun to sprout, the contract rent for the first year will be paid at half price.
Because there are not many young people at home in recent years, although these tea gardens are picking tea every year, they have not done a good job of operating. Now that Zeng Zhi has set up this cooperative, he naturally has to invest manpower and material resources to rectify the tea garden. The main purpose is to cut off some miscellaneous trees and weeding that grow in the tea garden. Moreover, the daily production of the tea base also requires a lot of manpower. Zeng Zhi simply decided to hire some villagers directly to work full-time at the tea base.
In this way, it is necessary to set up a formal company.
The infrastructure construction of the tea base is in full swing, and Zeng Zhi does not need to focus on the construction site every day. He has more important work to do.
After the village committee prepared all the materials, Zeng Zhi came to the city and prepared to submit an application for registration of tea company to the local government and industrial and commercial departments.
Because this matter was supported by Chen Yongping, a member of the district party committee standing committee, when Zeng Zhi went to register, the success of things went far beyond Zeng Zhi's imagination. The industrial and commercial, taxation, bank and other departments all the way to apply for various application procedures for tea companies, and the relevant procedures were quickly completed.
It took only three days before Zeng Zhi to obtain a series of documents such as the business license, tax registration certificate, development authorization, company account, etc., which successfully made Zeng Zhi feel a little dazed and made him realize that power is sometimes very useful.
When Zeng Zhi got these documents and returned to the village and came to the village committee, he found that there were many people surrounding the small square in front of the village committee, and the crowds were crowded. Zeng Zhi was a little curious, what are these guys doing here?
Thinking of this, Zeng Zhi leaned over and wanted to see what these people were doing.
Soon, Zeng Zhi saw the situation inside. It turned out that the villagers were watching the fried tea.
Combined with the fact that there are many tea gardens in the village, the villagers are not unfamiliar with tea stir-frying. However, what everyone knows is the local method of tea stir-frying, and they are all done on the stove at home.
However, the tea stir-frying performed in this small square is obviously not made by the traditional method, which has attracted villagers to watch.
I saw three-piece pots in the field, and underneath the pot was a simple earth stove built with bricks. The three-piece pots were not normally placed flat, but had a slight slope. Next to each pot was a woman in her thirties and under forty. Behind these women was an old man with silver hair. Yuan Ling was standing beside the old man talking to the old man. While listening to Yuan Ling's words, the old man reached out to pinch a tea leaf and stuffed it into his mouth.
Zeng Zhi smiled and thought to himself that this girl was indeed reliable in doing things. Three days ago, after Zeng Zhi signed a tea garden rental contract with the villagers, Zeng Zhi went to handle the registration of the tea company, and Yuan Ling was not idle either. She told Zeng Zhi that she would go to find professionals to stir-fry tea and see what quality these local teas can achieve after professional processing.
The tea leaves to be chosen are naturally produced in Zeng Zhi’s own tea garden. Zeng Zhi’s tea garden was irrigated with spiritual spring water, and the second crop had grown and could be picked. Therefore, he did not object to Yuan Ling’s plan.
Unexpectedly, after three days, I got the company registration matters by myself, and the girl also found a professional to stir-fry tea.
Zeng Zhigang leaned over and was seen by Yuan Ling. She smiled and said, "Brother Zeng Zhi, come here quickly and get to know each other!"
After hearing Yuan Ling say this, the women and children gave in to Zeng Zhi and let Zeng Zhi go in.
When Zeng Zhi came over, Yuan Ling pointed to the old man and introduced to him: "Brother Zeng Zhi, this is Mr. Zhang Chunming, the tea making expert I invited. He is the chief consultant of the famous pearl tea in our city."
The pearl tea that Yuan Ling mentioned is a local tea industry giant in Jiangdu. It is also a well-known large company nationwide. It is a municipal leading enterprise in Jiangdu’s agricultural industrialization, a key leading enterprise in agricultural comprehensive development, and a leading enterprise in demonstration agriculture. The company produces a series of products that have reached 10 major series and more than 200 packaging specifications, which can meet the needs of all levels of consumption. It is sold well across the country, with a supply exceeding demand and an annual turnover of more than one billion.
