Chapter 124: Prepare for a Rainy Day (Additional Update) (Ch 816044849)

After negotiating cooperation with Haida Group.
For Hailufeng Company, this cooperation means making money without doing anything.
November 13th.
The just-passed Double Eleven was another year of relatively bleak performance for e-commerce platforms.
Fortunately, Hailufeng Company’s products did not participate in Double Eleven, mainly because there was no need. After all, there were too many routines on the platform, so it would be better for the company to organize some activities on its own.
at the same time.
The e-commerce division, which has moved to a self-built building in Nanhu Village, is also holding meetings intensively.
Qin Xingzu, the head of the APP development office who just joined Hailufeng Company this month, introduced his project plan to manager Zhang Xinyi.
“According to the boss’s request, we have already made a plan~”
Qin Xingzu, who is equivalent to a product manager, previously worked in a medium-sized Internet company in Pengcheng. He was recruited by a headhunter to Hailufeng Company a month ago and was responsible for the development of a shopping app.
His job is to determine the functions, processes and user experience design of the APP, coordinate resources from all parties, and control the overall progress of the project.
In addition, the other people in their office are:
There are 3 UI/UX designers who are responsible for interface design and interaction design to make the APP more beautiful and easy to use.
7 Android system development engineers are responsible for developing the Android version of the APP.
As for the development of the iOS system, it was directly rejected by the company. After all, the iOS version of the APP requires energy, and the company does not want to invest too much in this area at present.
Then there are 4 back-end development engineers who are responsible for building and maintaining the server and handling functions such as data storage and user authentication.
And 3 test engineers are responsible for checking whether the APP has vulnerabilities and functional defects.
There are a total of 17 people in the entire APP development office.
“Team Leader Qin, how long will it take you to complete the APP?” Zhang Xinyi asked while flipping through the project plan.
Qin Xingzu thought about the arrangements for the project in his mind, and then replied: “The basic framework has been completed. If everything goes well, it will probably take four to five months.”
The reason why the company wants to develop a shopping app is mainly to prepare for a rainy day.
As Hailufeng Company has more and more products, if it continues to sell them on those e-commerce platforms, the product commissions and technical service fees charged will not be a small amount.
For example, white truffles and eel fry are listed as special commodities on several e-commerce platforms, with commodity commissions as high as 5%.
For eel fry alone, Hailufeng Company was charged 7.52 million yuan in commodity commission last month.
This made Zhang Xinyi feel unacceptable. She reported the matter to Jiang Miao in September and prepared to develop the company’s own APP to avoid being further drained by e-commerce platforms.
After all, there are only a dozen software development engineers, and the expenditure is only more than 500,000 yuan a month.
This is just a small amount of money for Hailufeng Company, and it is nothing compared to the commission charged by the e-commerce platform every month.
Jiang Miao readily accepted the suggestion and approved the e-commerce division to promote this project, and gave the APP a name, called “Hailufeng Specialty Store”.
For the time being, this APP only sells products produced by the company itself, conducting both retail and wholesale.
Zhang Xinyi is not worried about the source of customers.
Because the company has accumulated a considerable amount of customer resources in the early stage, such as eel farmers, Egyptian catfish farmers, high-end catering companies, domestic Japanese food stores, boiled fish stores, etc. These customers are basically fixed. As long as the company issues a notice, they can only use Hailufeng’s shopping APP obediently.
As for the remaining individual customers, they mainly purchase fruits and canned products. These products have average profits, but they can continue to be sold on other e-commerce platforms.
However, the e-commerce division will definitely gradually attract individual users in the future.
After all, the company’s products will gradually diversify in the future, and their attractiveness to individual customers will continue to increase.
As an agricultural company that wants to become the world’s number one, Hailufeng will not stop here.
Zhang Xinyi felt pained at the thought of having to pay four or five more months’ commission. She frowned and asked, “Four or five months? Can it be accelerated?”
After thinking for a while, Qin Xingzu gave a time schedule: “If we add five or six more people, I am sure we can shorten the time to March.”
“Okay, I’ll have the HR department recruit as soon as possible. Please give me a list of the professionals you need.”
“no problem.”
Suddenly Zhang Xinyi remembered something: “There is one more thing. The boss specifically instructed me yesterday that the digital Huayuan wallet needs to be added to the APP, and digital Huayuan payment should be used first. Is this difficult? Will it affect the progress?”
“No, after all, we have to access the payment system, and having an additional digital Huayuan wallet will not have any impact.”
“That’s good.”
Obviously Jiang Miao did not trust the payment systems of large Internet companies such as Taobao and Penguin. Just in case, he decided to push the digital Huayuan wallet as the main payment method.
After the meeting, Qin Xingzu, Zhang Xinyi and others hurried back to the self-built house next door.
This 4-story self-built building with an area of ​​120 square meters is the office building of their APP development office.
He returned to the office.
The canteen delivery man has delivered today’s dinner.
Glancing out the window, Qin Xingzu saw the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the cactus by the window and stretched himself.
Come to the lounge and restaurant on the first floor.
Several colleagues are already eating.
Qin Xingzu opened the thermal box and found his portion. He wrote his name on it because the engineers in their APP development office all had customized special meals.
This was also because Jiang Miao saw how hard they were working, after all, they had to work overtime in the past few months. Considering that the health of these software development engineers was more or less not good, Jiang Miao took the time to check on their health and then prepared special meals for them.
Although it doesn’t have the same brain-boosting effect as the ones he and Shuya eat, it can at least keep him energetic and clear-headed, and it can also reduce liver and kidney damage and hair loss.
Qin Xingzu ate special meals for a month and walked for an hour in Nanhu Village in the evening. He could feel obvious changes in his body. His panda eyes had become much lighter, his face was rosy and shiny, and he no longer got out of breath after just a few steps.
The complexions of other colleagues also improved visibly.
They had heard from colleagues in other departments before that the boss’s diet therapy skills were amazing, but they were still skeptical.
However, the personal experience of this month made Qin Xingzu and others realize that the boss’s diet therapy skills were indeed amazing, and the effects were much stronger than any health supplements he had taken before.
Had dinner.
He went out for a walk with some colleagues.
It was already dark by this time.
Nanhu Village is very quiet, except for the occasional sound of television coming from the houses on both sides of the road and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Before they knew it, the group had arrived at the entrance of the office building of Nanhu Farm.
I met a dozen middle-aged women who were getting off work.
A SF Express container truck slowly drove out from the roadside on one side, and another full container of express deliveries was delivered.
There is also a container truck behind that is loading goods.
“The company’s business is pretty good.”
“Of course, our company is the only one that can artificially cultivate white truffles.”
“White truffles are just like that.”
“Haha, you can eat it every other day, so of course you think it’s normal.”
“But the company’s catering benefits are really good, much better than the takeout we had before.”
“I heard that the company has virtual stock distribution, I wonder if we have it?”
Qin Xingzu took a sip of the black coffee in the thermos: “Of course, but you need to work for a full year before you can start allocating virtual shares. Our office won’t have them until October next year.”
“That’s good.”
As they walked, they came to the end of the concrete road and started walking back.
In a brightly lit office in a quiet and peaceful corner of a village, a group of passionate and creative programmers are working day and night on a new shopping APP project.
Compared with those startups that only make big promises, Hailufeng’s treatment is already better.
The employee in charge of the interface design and interaction design of this project is Lao Li, a senior programmer. He stared firmly at the computer screen in front of him, which was full of complex codes and architecture diagrams.
He is actually only 41 years old and was working in a large company five years ago. However, as he turned 36, he naturally became the target of optimization by the large company.
“Brother Li, help me take a look…”
“Wait a minute.”
Lao Li saved the previous files, then moved his chair and came to the side of his colleague Xiao Gao. Xiao Gao had only graduated two or three years ago, so his experience in programming could not compare to that of Lao Li, a veteran.
After reviewing the code and asking Xiao Gao to explain the purpose of several lines of code, Lao Li used AI to debug and finally found two problems:
“You set the quantity of this code incorrectly, there is an extra zero.”
“Oh? I thought I could just use the previous set of codes…”
“And here you have to add a…”
The team members quickly got to work.
Another person in charge of interface design, Xiao Wang, was concentrating on designing the user interface. He racked his brains according to the boss’s requirements.
The boss hopes that users can feel the freshness and naturalness of the company the moment they open the APP, while also having a certain sense of technology.
“This interface should be simple and clear, highlighting the characteristics and sense of technology of agricultural products, while allowing users to quickly find what they want.” Xiao Wang muttered to himself while operating the mouse.
Xiao Zhang, who is in charge of database management, is working hard to optimize data storage and retrieval functions to ensure that a large amount of product information can be presented to users accurately and quickly.
After all, the company’s agricultural products will have more and more varieties in the future, which requires that the data must be accurate and users must not see wrong information. Even if it is not used now, it will be used in the future.
Xiao Zhao, who is in charge of security and payment systems, raised his thick glasses. He was carefully building a secure internal firewall to ensure the transaction security and privacy of users.
Although the programmers in the APP development office have worked very hard, they have just started formally developing the software and even the prototype of the software has not been completed.
After Qin Xingzu and others came back.
He clapped his hands and said, “Everyone has worked hard. Let’s go eat and take a walk! Although work is important, we must also combine work and rest.”
“It’s so late?”
“Let’s go eat.”
After a while, most of the people went down to the first floor.
Qin Xingzu and others also came to their workstations and started working overtime tonight.
…
Although APP development is related to the company’s profits.
But Jiang Miao didn’t care too much about it and just left it to his employees.
November 14th, early in the morning.
It was just daybreak and the weeds on the roadside were still covered with dew.
Jiang Miao and Shu Ya came to the Yandunshan Farm behind the Yandunshan Feed Factory, which is also the terraced fields of the durian plantation.
After more than a month of renovation, Yandunshan Farm has completed the construction of nearly 700 acres of high-standard terraces with the efforts of two construction teams.
These renovated terraces are all planted with beautiful silk cotton trees.
Shuya wore a cap and breathed the fresh morning air: “Can these beautiful kapok trees be grafted?”
“Not yet, until February next year.”
Jiang Miao squatted down and looked at the lush alfalfa under his feet. He had previously cultivated 5 acres of alfalfa and harvested three crops of seeds, totaling about 600 kilograms of seeds.
To grow alfalfa by broadcasting, about 2 kilograms of seeds are needed per acre, which means that these 600 kilograms of seeds are only enough to sow 300 acres.
Fortunately, through laboratory tissue culture, hundreds of thousands of alfalfa seedlings can be produced every month, and cuttings can also be used to grow seedlings. After the next 300 acres of alfalfa are harvested, another 12,000 kilograms of seeds can be obtained.
In the climate of Lingnan region, alfalfa can bloom and bear fruit twice a year in an open-air environment.
It only takes about a year for the seeds to become self-sufficient.
Shuya also squatted down and looked at the alfalfa that had been growing for more than a month: “Is this the new variety of purple alfalfa you cultivated?”
“Well, this variety is relatively shade-tolerant. Even in this forest environment, the growth cycle can be compressed to 100 days. If there is sufficient sunlight, it can be harvested in about 85 days. If there is sufficient light, heat, water and fertilizer, this alfalfa can bloom and bear fruit three times a year, and it is estimated that it will only bloom and bear fruit about twice a year in the forest.”
“That’s not bad, but what are you going to do with this alfalfa? As feed?” Shuya picked a handful of tender purple alfalfa leaves and prepared to take them back to taste them.
Jiang Miao smiled and nodded: “It can be used as feed. After all, this variety of alfalfa has a crude protein content of up to 24% after being made into hay. It is also a high-quality variety among alfalfa.”
“You came here today specifically, not just to accompany me to climb the mountain, right?” Shuya asked curiously.
“Don’t you think this mountain of alfalfa is beautiful?”
“Speak human language.” Shuya ignored him and continued picking tender leaves.
Jiang Miao smiled and shook his head: “I’ll bring you here to relax and take a look at the bees.”
“Bees?” Shuya stood up and found a small square on the earth wall not far away. Inside was a beehive. She looked closer and asked, “Why is this bee a little small?”
“This is a native bee species.”
“It turned out to be the Chinese bee. I heard that few people raise Chinese bees now. Why is that?”
Jiang Miao explained: “The main reason is that the mid-peak colony is relatively weak and easily split. Moreover, during the honey flow period, the honey production efficiency is lower than that of Italian bees, and they are prone to attacking people.”
“Then why do we need to raise Chinese bees?”
“While there are disadvantages, there are naturally advantages. The advantages of Chinese bees are that they can collect scattered nectar sources around them, have strong adaptability to the domestic environment, and are immune to bee mites.”
Moreover, Jiang Miao also has a way to solve the shortcomings of the Chinese bee colony being weak and easy to split. As long as the bee colony is expanded, the honey collection efficiency will naturally improve.
His solution is to regularly feed these Chinese bees with specially prepared artificial nectar, thereby suppressing the swarming instinct in their genes that has evolved for survival.
In fact, the herding nature brought about by Zhongfeng’s genes is essentially for survival and to ensure the continuation of the ethnic group.
As long as they are suppressed for more than a dozen generations, their genes will be readjusted, making them less and less willing to split into groups, thus forming a brand new mid-peak population.
Currently, the 300 acres of alfalfa at Yandunshan Farm have begun to bloom, and the flowering period is expected to be around February.
Combined with the nectar from the surrounding wild flowers, there are 300 boxes of Chinese bees here, which can produce tens of thousands of kilograms of honey in two months.
A month ago, Jiang Miao had instructed Lv Weibin to set up a honey production office to specifically manage the bee team. These Chinese bees were also purchased from professional apiaries in the province this month.
The reason for setting up a honey production office is that the company has invested more than 50,000 acres of durian plantations in Shanmei, which means that more than 40,000 acres of alfalfa can be planted.
In addition to the clover and durian that we plan to mix in the future, these plants will produce a lot of nectar, and we cannot waste so much nectar.
After all, by adjusting the flowering period, these more than 40,000 acres of alfalfa and clover, plus durian and the surrounding wild flowers, plants and trees, are enough to raise 10,000 boxes of bees.
The oil tea plantation at the Gannan branch will also grow alfalfa and clover, and bees can also be raised at that time.
However, camellia oleifera nectar is toxic to bees, especially Italian bees, which basically have no way to collect camellia oleifera nectar. Chinese bees do have a certain resistance, but after collecting the camellia oleifera nectar, it may cause allergies and mild poisoning to the human body. Therefore, the camellia oleifera flowering season must be avoided.
Fortunately, the flowering period of Camellia oleifera is from October to December every year. By simply adjusting the water and fertilizer, the flowering period of alfalfa and clover can be completely staggered with that of Camellia oleifera, thus preventing bees from mistakenly collecting nectar from Camellia oleifera flowers.
The Gannan branch can raise 40,000 beehives, plus the 10,000 beehives at the headquarters, a total of 50,000 beehives. If well planned, under ideal circumstances, 8,750 tons of honey can be produced a year.
This is one of the advantages brought by the industrial chain.
It is difficult for ordinary beekeepers to have such a large fixed nectar plantation, and it is also difficult to adjust the flowering time.
Jiang Miao observed more than a dozen beehives and found that the specially formulated nectar he used was indeed effective. The colony of these little bees had obviously grown larger, but there was no obvious sign of splitting up.
If the Chinese bees are not suppressed, let alone 10,000 beehives concentrated nearby, even dozens of them will cause the Chinese bees to run away from home.
