Chapter 031 New Project
After Chen Jianxiong came out of the scientific research base, he began to cooperate with Philip to hand over the personnel and some equipment and weapons of both parties.
It seems that Chen Jianxiong's power has expanded a lot, but in fact, Li Qingye still has absolute control over the personnel within the security department, especially the soldiers.
Trust always has its limits.
Even if the other person's life is in your hands, you cannot completely trust the other person. You still need to be on guard where you need to be on guard.
Due to the powerful influence of the Fernando family in the area around Dart Port, they are basically the local tyrants.
With Mada and other chess pieces, more than half of the hidden dangers faced by the Homo Sapiens Company in the local area have disappeared. The next step is to completely control the Fernando family, which means that the Homo Sapiens Company can basically rest assured in the five provinces in southern Luzon Island.
Maybe many people may not believe it.
But this is the reality in Luzon.
Luzon has never been unified. It is a union of family alliances in the name of a country, like a small India.
The entire Luzon is controlled by more than 200 families of all sizes. The big families occupy several provinces, and the small families control islands or towns. These families are local tyrants, and it is difficult for the Luzon authorities to control these families, especially between hostile families.
Duterte can only barely control some of the areas that support him, while northern Luzon, Mindanao and other areas are basically in a semi-autonomous state.
As the Fernando family is one of the five major families in Luzon, within its core sphere of influence, the Homo Sapiens Company can naturally rest assured.
This is also the reason why Gao Shanping felt that he had it all figured out before, because in his opinion, with the help of the power of the Fernando family, it would be easy to deal with a Homo sapiens company with no background.
More than a week later.
Fang Xincheng came to Caragua Island again.
"Boss, this is the processing list." Fang Xincheng handed over a list.
Li Qingye flipped through the pages a few times and said, "It seems that Manager Jinglan has betrayed my trust! It is not appropriate to fire these seven people directly. You should hand over the information about their misappropriation of company property to Wang Xinya in the Legal Department. I have a few friends in Dart Harbor."
"This..." Fang Xincheng hesitated.
Obviously, Li Qingye wanted to send these people to prison, and he felt a little reluctant to do so.
Li Qingye's face turned serious: "Xincheng, you ca n't be , otherwise how can you manage the company in the future? How can you create a deterrent effect if you let employees embezzle company property and just let them go?"
"Boss, I was wrong." Fang Xincheng lowered his head in shame.
Li Qingye shook his head: "Xincheng, you have to remember one thing. If you want to be a good general manager of the company, you must learn to use both kindness and severity. Fami hopes that you can show some leniency, but he knows how to behave."
At the end, Li Qingye revealed a hint of sarcasm in his words: "Xincheng, if everyone says good things about a company executive, do you think he is really a good person?"
"Huh?" Fang Xincheng was confused for a moment.
Li Qingye handed the document back: "Any company is made up of people, and people have various interests and needs. Go back and think about it more, and you will understand. Now let's talk about the company's future development."
Although he hadn't thought it through yet, Fang Xincheng remembered what he had just said firmly, and then nodded: "Boss, this is the company's future development plan."
After taking the document, Li Qingye glanced through it.
Now the Sapiens Company has only two businesses: eel fry sales and eel farming.
The eel fry sales business is carried out through 10 shell companies and its own fishing boats as a cover, with a plan to sell about 20,000 to 30,000 eel fry each year.
As for the eel farming business, the company currently has three breeding bases. The breeding base on Caragua Island produces about 500 to 600 tons of eels annually, the breeding base in North Bay of Dart Port produces 1,000 to 1,200 tons of eels annually, and the breeding base in Coconut Town of Dart Port produces 1,500 to 1,800 tons of eels annually.
Currently, the international price of eel fry fluctuates between US$7,000 and US$30,000 per portion (5,000 eels); while the wholesale price of mature eels is between US$20,000 and US$30,000 per ton.
As a technology monopolist, as long as other companies fail to develop low-cost eel breeding technology, Sapiens can basically maintain high profits in the eel fry industry .
As for the eel farming industry, it seems to be hard-earned money. After all, the comprehensive cost of site, equipment, labor, water and electricity bills, feed and drugs, plus the survival rate in the eel farming process, per ton of meat eel, is about 5,000 to 8,000 US dollars.
Looks like a pretty good profit.
In fact, the risks are very high. For example, the price of fish fry has skyrocketed this year, causing the production cost of each ton of eels to increase by about US$2,400.
However, Sapiens still chose to continue investing in eel farming in order to boost local employment.
Currently, the breeding and processing division has the largest number of employees, reaching 433.
But Li Qingye was still not satisfied with this. After all, there were only more than 700 people in the Zhiren company.
Fang Xincheng was indeed not a pioneering person. He added two industries to his industrial plan, namely grilled eel processing and feed processing.
Li Qingye originally didn't have much hope for Fang Xincheng's industrial development.
During these months of research and development, Li Qingye not only studied biological weapons and biological computers, but also took some time to continue researching products that can be commercialized.
Judging from the current development of the world's industries, it is not easy to get involved in energy and mineral resources. Only agriculture is suitable for Homo sapiens companies to continue to delve deeper into.
But how to develop agriculture is also a question worth thinking about.
Luzon has a lot of agricultural resources, but the problem is that international grain traders ABCD have a strong influence here, and Luzon is a place where grain production is seriously insufficient, and the land is used to grow more expensive cash crops.
If he chooses to enter the food production industry, he will definitely be targeted by ABCD, and he doesn't want to be targeted by America now.
Therefore, it is impossible to enter the food production industry within Luzon and one must take a roundabout route.
He plans to develop the sugar industry, but it is different from the traditional sugar industry. The traditional sugar industry requires large-scale planting of sugarcane or beets, which requires large areas of arable land.
However, the family forces in various parts of Luzon are very stubborn. Even if the Fernando family comes forward, it is difficult to obtain large areas of arable land. Instead of competing with farmers for arable land, it is better to find another way.
Li Qingye plans to use genetic recombination technology to cultivate genetically modified seaweed with extremely high starch content, and then use special catalytic enzymes to convert the starch into products such as maltose, glucose, and fructose syrup.
Compared with the limited arable land on land, the ocean is much larger and the degree of human development of the ocean is relatively low.
Starch has a wide range of uses. It can be used to produce sugars and is also the raw material for industrial alcohol, which can be used as gasoline. Starch can also be used directly as flour or synthesized into artificial rice.
This covers almost all industries including food, energy, sugar making, and brewing.
Sapiens does not need to enter the food industry at the beginning, but its own production line can be converted to food production at any time, which is very important for the future.
People can live without love, without a house, and without a mobile phone, but they cannot live without food.
Food is the foundation of stability.
