Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 211 Buying Land

Wen Qing also transferred the 450 million yuan she used to buy the house to the company account and applied for the real estate certificate. The house officially belonged to her.

Houses without elevators also sold very quickly. There are many rich people in Beijing, and even more people who need houses. The first phase of Dongcheng Lijing was sold out in just one month.

Shui Ya and the staff of the Finance Department worked overtime for several days and calculated the profit. The total sales volume was 6855 million yuan, the land cost was 500 million yuan, the construction cost was 2571 million yuan, the community supporting projects were 260 million yuan, the taxes and fees were 180 million yuan, and the gross profit was 3344 million yuan. The preliminary estimate of the net profit margin was over 30%.

Shui Ya was very happy. Even if the net profit of the first phase was only 2000 million yuan, she could get 20 million yuan for her 400% stake. She had never had so much money of her own. Xie Yang was also very happy. He made the right choice to cooperate with the Gu family.

Gu Qicheng said: "The sales momentum of our Dongcheng Lijing Phase I is very good. Now we need to speed up the construction of Phase II and Phase III. I would like to ask Mr. Xie to pay the remaining land transfer fee, obtain the land certificate as soon as possible, and then complete the formalities, start construction as soon as possible, and strive to complete it by the end of the year." There are only 5 months left until the end of the year, and time is very tight.

They had only paid 30% of the land transfer fee before, and there was still 1400 million yuan left to be paid. This year, they have to pay 600 million yuan. Xie Yang said: "Only pay what should be paid this year, and pay the rest according to the plan. Now we have funds. My suggestion is not to distribute dividends first, but to buy more land."

The shareholders also agreed not to distribute dividends and would wait until the second phase is completed.

After paying for some project costs, the company's account still has more than 4000 million yuan, leaving 2500 million yuan for the second phase of the project, and they can also buy 300 to 400 acres of land.

Wen Qing had no connections to buy land, but several other shareholders had good family backgrounds. Gu Qicheng said, "Everyone should go find land. Is there any land for sale in Xicheng or Chaoyang? A little further away would be fine."

Gu Qicheng went on to say: "If you can buy the land and develop it into commercial housing, you will get a reward of 5 to 1 yuan per acre depending on the location." The maximum reward for 100 acres is 100 million yuan, which is a very high reward.

Several shareholders reported to their family elders and mobilized their efforts to find land.

A month later, news came that Ji Feng found a piece of land in Xicheng District, which was only 20 acres, and Sun Zhengping found a piece of land in Shijingshan District, which was 300 acres.

There is also some information about Xie Yang, but it has not been finalized yet, so it has not been announced.

The company wanted both pieces of land and rewarded Ji Feng with 20 yuan and Sun Zhengping with 150 million yuan. When Shui Ya saw this, she secretly asked someone to help her find the land.

When spring comes, the sky is bright and the willow trees on the roadside sprout tender green branches and leaves. Then the poplars and willows bloom. Clusters of poplar and willow catkins float on the road and on the roofs with the wind, and then drift away to farther places with the wind.

Ever since Wen Qing started driving, she is no longer tortured by the dust on the road. She commutes from Huashuijing Lane to Erxia Village for work every day, and travels back and forth between the winery, feed factory, and grain company every day. With a car, she spends less time on the road and her life is very fulfilling.

The peach and apricot blossoms on the mountain are in full bloom, and Erxia Village has welcomed the most lively season of the year. Chen Rui and Zhu Hongying made an appointment to bring their husbands and children to Erxia Village for an outing.

Wen Qing asked the villagers to help with cooking, and she took the adults and children to the mountain to play. The two children were held by their father, while Yang Mingli walked by herself, picking small wild flowers on the roadside as she walked, and weaving willow branches into a wreath and wearing it on her head.

The little girl Yang Mingli is 11 years old. She is as tall as Zhu Hongying's chest. She has a fair skin and looks like a girl. She is now in the fifth grade of primary school.

Both families brought cameras to take pictures of their children. Chen Rui, Zhu Hongyan and Wen Qing took many group photos, leaving behind precious memories.

Wen Qing took a few people to the orchard she had contracted. They picked wild vegetables and dug bamboo shoots together. They didn't go down the mountain until noon. Wen Qing gave the wild vegetables she picked to the aunt who helped with the cooking. The lunch was quite sumptuous. There was a large table of chicken, duck, and fish. The seasonal wild vegetables such as shepherd's purse, elm seeds, and water spinach were either served cold, fried in batter, or made into soup. They are hard to find in the city, and they taste very fragrant and refreshing.

Wen Qing took out the hawthorn wine and poured it for everyone. Zhu Hongying asked, "Xiao Qing, is this also brewed by your factory?"

Wen Qing nodded. "The hawthorns are from the hawthorn forest we saw today. We bought it last fall and brewed it."

Zhu Hongying took a sip and said, "This wine is a bit sour, not as sweet as other wines. It tastes good."

Zhu Hongying's husband Yang Shaojun asked, "Is this brewed or soaked with hawthorn?"

Wen Qing said: "It is brewed. Remove the core of the hawthorn, crush it and cook it. Let it cool and add fruit wine yeast. Add rock sugar and ferment it in a jar. After the first fermentation is completed, filter out the pomace and ferment it again before drinking."

Chen Rui took a sip and praised: "This wine is sour and sweet, very delicious."

Wen Qing said, "Hawthorn wine has a concentration of only 13% alcohol and has a beauty-enhancing effect. It's suitable for ladies to drink. Would the two gentlemen like to drink white wine?"

Her husband Guan Xu said, "No need, we can just drink hawthorn wine."

Xiao Mingli looked at the beautiful color of the hawthorn wine, turned her head and looked at Wen Qing eagerly. Wen Qing smiled and said, "Children can't drink alcohol. Come, Auntie has some juice here."

I took out a bottle of hawthorn juice and poured it for the children. They happily drank it. Hawthorn juice also has a sour and sweet taste. Everyone raised their glasses together.

In the afternoon, everyone rested and played in the yard. The three children went for a nap. Wen Qing made tea and everyone chatted. When the children woke up, Chen Rui and Zhu Hongying went home. Before leaving, Wen Qing packed some wild vegetables she had picked and apples and pears from the space for them, a big bag for each family.

The output of the feed factory has been gradually increasing. Last year, it produced 1 tons. In the second half of the year, the monthly output reached 1000 tons. However, the profit margin is too low, so we still need to optimize the formula and reduce costs.

Wen Qing found Zheng Xiaoqiang and called together the people from the technical department to discuss how to optimize the production process and reduce production costs.

The head of the technical department is Wu Zhenggao, the deputy head is Qi Yanling, and the other staff members are all graduates of the Agricultural Technical School, and can be considered elite troops.

Wen Qing spoke first: "The proportion of high-priced grains in the pig feed we produce now is too high, which leads to high feed costs. Now, can you tell me how to optimize the formula without affecting the protein and calories of the feed, while also improving the palatability and digestibility of the feed? Everyone can express their opinions."

Zheng Xiaoqiang said: "The corn we use now includes white corn and yellow corn, but the cost of white corn is higher. In fact, yellow corn has more amylose and is easier for pigs to digest.
