Chapter 457 The pressure wasn't as great as I imagined.
"If our county's beverage industry wants to quickly capture 70-80% of the township and county town market, and then counterattack big cities, it will have to be completed within two years, which will require approximately 17-18 billion yuan in funding."
In this way, the beverage company will be able to generate its own revenue and achieve initial profitability in two years.
It also generates 3-4 billion yuan in GDP and 300-400 million yuan in tax revenue for the county.
With supporting facilities and upstream and downstream industries, it can contribute 4 to 5 billion yuan to the county's GDP and 4 to 5 billion yuan in tax revenue every year.
Regarding the funding issue, the first step is to have Xichun Group hold an order fair immediately to see how many orders they can secure.
Funds are allocated in a unified manner based on orders and received funds.
Then, Xichun Group reduced its exports and concentrated its funds in the beverage company, increasing the registered capital of the beverage company to four or five hundred million.
At the same time, new shareholders were introduced, increasing the beverage company's equity capital to around 600-700 million.
Then apply for bank loans and issue corporate bonds, and the funding problem can be basically solved.
The county will find a way to make up for the shortfall next year.
Qi Tongwei said.
This year, tea from Xichun County cannot be exported; it will be used for tea beverages.
The canned goods will continue to be exported, and then clothing will be used to replace the tea.
As for purchasing tea and canned goods from other counties, that will no longer be considered.
In just two or three months, Xichun County exported $5 million, making other places extremely envious and jealous.
Now, they are unwilling to sell their tea and canned goods to Xichun Group and are preparing to export them themselves.
After all, exporting is a very rewarding business these days.
Qi Tongwei only dared to ask Xichun Group to come up with 2 billion yuan because Xichun Group had completed $300 million in exports in January.
Of course, we still need to export another batch from February to April to make some more money, so as to avoid a significant drop in the revenue of Xichun Group.
"County Chief Qi, our exports are increasing. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to cut back at this time?"
Dong Xiyan said.
Now that Xichun Group has money, shouldn't they export more products?
"I didn't want to either, but since last November, our county's export volume has reached 500 million US dollars, and we've bought up tea and canned goods from many surrounding areas."
They were very envious and jealous when they saw that we exported so much at once, and they started preparing to export it themselves.
Xichun Group isn't receiving much stock left. If we don't scale back, we won't have much left to export.
Qi Tongwei said.
He also wanted more exports, since his original plan was to use exports to fund the construction of industrial parks, transportation, electricity, water, and the county town.
Xichun County didn't have enough goods, so they went to other places to collect them.
But other places cannot simply stand idly by while Xichun County exports its produce.
After all, no place can sacrifice its own interests for the benefit of other places.
"County Chief Qi, if we focus on developing the beverage industry, should we build a refrigerator factory?"
Chu Tianjin said.
Occupying 70-80% of the township and county markets, the company delivers at least hundreds of thousands of refrigerators.
Building a refrigerator factory would bring hundreds of millions of yuan in GDP and more than ten million yuan in tax revenue to the county, and would also create one or two thousand jobs and drive the development of upstream and downstream industries.
"We don't build a refrigerator factory to produce refrigerators; instead, we order directly from the city's refrigerator factory."
Qi Tongwei said.
"Why? Although building a refrigerator factory doesn't increase GDP and tax revenue by much, it's still an incremental increase!"
Chu Tianjin asked, puzzled.
In the past, this would have immediately increased GDP by about 20% and doubled tax revenue.
"Yes, County Chief Qi, why don't we build a refrigerator factory to produce refrigerators?"
Others also commented.
Even a small mosquito is still meat. If the county is building an industrial park, building a refrigerator factory could have a significant impact on the industrial park.
After all, it can attract upstream and downstream companies to set up shop.
"Because we don't have that much time!"
Our first batch will consist of 10 refrigerators, with a total of 30 to 40 refrigerators to be deployed throughout the year.
If we were to build our own factory to produce refrigerators, we would need to invest 2000 million yuan upfront, which would increase our financial burden.
Secondly, if we build our own factory, the output and quality will not be able to keep up, and we will also have to build our own after-sales service and maintenance.
This will increase repairs and after-sales service.
Moreover, producing refrigerators requires a production license, and it takes about three months for a new factory to obtain one.
This will affect delivery time and product distribution.
To enable our beverages to quickly capture 70-80% of the township and county markets, we must rapidly develop the market and expand with overwhelming force.
Refrigerators are the key to success or failure; they must be delivered, delivered early, and delivered in sufficient quantities—otherwise, 70-80% of the terminal exclusives cannot be locked in.
In that case, any further measures will be useless.
Therefore, the only way to quickly obtain a large number of refrigerators is to order them from the city's refrigerator factory.
Qi Tongwei said.
"County Chief Qi, ordering from the city refrigerator factory won't work. The city refrigerator factory has already stopped production and is waiting for restructuring!"
We simply cannot accept such a large order, nor are we capable of providing even a portion of it.
Xia Deqing said.
He came from the city and is quite familiar with the situation there.
The city's refrigerator factory stopped production last year, and most of its staff left. Of the remaining employees, there are not many skilled workers.
"Then we'll order from a refrigerator factory outside the province, 160L models, and negotiate the lowest possible price."
To paint according to our requirements, you need to pay a 30% deposit in advance. After production, deliver the finished product to our designated location.
"Tell the beverage factory to expedite the design and packaging; it must be highly recognizable, so that people can instantly identify it as the Xichun brand."
Qi Tongwei said.
Since we can't order so many refrigerators from within the province, we have to find manufacturers outside the province.
We can't wait until the city's refrigerator factory resumes production before ordering refrigerators; by then, it'll be too late.
Moreover, you must negotiate directly with the manufacturer; going through agents or distributors will significantly increase costs.
"If beverages are the development focus of the Xichun Group's various subsidiaries, how much GDP and tax revenue can they generate this year?"
Wu Pengfei said.
After all, this year's task is very heavy: to double the GDP to over 5 billion.
If the new development strategy can generate significant GDP and tax revenue, then everyone's workload will be much lighter.
"If we can achieve our set goals, we should be able to generate around 2 billion in GDP and around 20 million in tax revenue this year."
Qi Tongwei said.
This is a conservative figure; the actual number is likely higher.
Moreover, he has already initially resolved the funding issue, so everyone no longer needs to worry about the funding for developing the beverage business.
"That makes our task much easier!"
Wu Pengfei said.
"Yes, everyone's workload will be greatly reduced!"
Others echoed.
After all, 20 billion represents 35% of the target.
"Actually, the task is not as difficult as everyone imagines!"
For example, this year's task is to double the GDP to 57.56 billion, which seems very difficult.
However, if we take a closer look, we will find that about one-fifth of the work has already been completed.
The $3 million in exports has already generated $12.45 billion in GDP.
If all 43 companies introduced from Pengcheng last year can move in, it will add another 1.22 million yuan, bringing the total to 13.67 billion yuan.
It's already at 23.75%.
If the beverage project is successfully completed, it could increase GDP by about 20 billion, bringing the total to 33.67 billion.
Adding in alcohol, instant noodles, tea, and household paper products would increase GDP by about 10 billion, bringing the total to 43.67 billion.
In addition, the construction of a Class I six-lane dual carriageway, a 220kV dual-circuit power line, a water supply of 130,000 m3/day, an industrial park per mu, and distributed cogeneration will also generate some GDP.
Doubling GDP will not be difficult by then.
Qi Tongwei said.
