My Abandoned Oil Town Became a New Frontline - Chapter 131

[131. Chapter 131 Industry starts from small workshops]

“This is really a good idea, but it is also very difficult!”

After a pause,

Zhong Ruofei suddenly thought of something and gradually calmed down.

Just now, he just said casually

that it is very difficult to own a high-end brand. With the current strength of Ice Lake Culture and Tourism, he still dare not think of it.

Not to mention anything else,

there seems to be no well-known domestic brand in the entire Jiuge City or even the entire Suqing Province, let alone a major international brand that is heading towards Blue Star.

“I found two masters who handle fur. They will come over the day after tomorrow to see how well they handle fur.”

Xu Xing nodded.

The top priority is to turn those furs and bones into products that can be preserved for a long time. Brand management is a later matter.

On a pessimistic note, whether or not people will buy these things when they are first made is two different things.

Not to mention the layers!

“Xiao Xu, if these two master craftsmen are good enough, wouldn’t they have to set up a leather workshop at the breeding farm?”

Liu Ming said

from the side .

“That’s what I planned!”

Xu Xing picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The processing of leather by old folk artists is not as simple as imagined. The process is extremely complicated and is generally divided into two types.

Making hairless leather is relatively simple.

It can be made into leather after a series of treatments such as cleaning, hair removal, and scraping.

However, the smell during the tanning process is extremely unpleasant, and it is definitely not suitable to be placed in the employee dormitory building.

This is still an ancient method of artificial leather making. If it is industrial leather making, the smell will be absolutely terrible, and you can smell it for miles around!

As for the other kind of fur, the processing procedures are more complicated and time-consuming.

Since the rawhide in Binghu Village is cured with salt, cleaning the salt is a big project.

Moreover, the grease and flesh must be removed next, and

cleaning bit by bit with a scraper without damaging the leather itself is very labor-intensive.

After this step is completed, the hides need to be tanned,

which is more complicated. After preparing the vegetable tanning liquid, just soaking the hides will take several weeks.

Of course,

although the process of processing fur is complicated, the quality is much better than that of artificial leather. Not only is it highly malleable and highly absorbent, it is also environmentally friendly!

Even if burned, no toxic substances will be released.

The most important thing is that over time, vegetable tanning will gradually turn into dark brown, showing a high-end atmosphere!

For this reason, the artificial leather on the market is directly dyed brown when leaving the factory.

For all these reasons, it is most suitable for the leather workshop to be placed next to the breeding farm!

Now the water and electricity network over there has been diverted!

Moreover, a sewage purification and treatment tank has been specially built next to the breeding farm, which can save a lot of trouble.

The only thing that needs to be done is to install an air purification system in the leather workshop.

“Okay, I’ll arrange this! The breeding farm has recently reached the final stage, and a fur processing workshop will be built by the way.”

After thinking about it,

Zhong Ruofei nodded.

But soon he looked at Xu Xing again,

“Does it mean that we have to register a separate leather processing factory?”

“I checked the relevant policies of Xia State in the afternoon! There are many aspects involved in processing animal fur. So you have to obtain the relevant business and production license!”

Xu Xing replied.

For this reason, he also specifically asked Lao Feng, the “legal advisor” of Binghu Village.

Lao Feng said that anyone related to animal products must obtain qualifications, otherwise it will be very troublesome later.

“Okay, I’ll ask about the specific situation when I go to Jiuge City tomorrow.”

Zhong Ruofei replied.

“By the way, Brother Zhong, how is the current cash flow of our campsite? Even though it is a small leather workshop, purchasing a set of equipment and tools will probably cost a lot of money.” After

a pause, Xu Xing asked again.

If there were no village headquarters and ancient theater building, he wouldn’t be worried about Binghu Village’s cash flow at all.

But this time, the construction budget of the four-story ancient buildings and ancient theater buildings in the east and west rows of the barbecue square exceeded 10 million, accounting for a large part of the cash pool.

In addition, it’s time for Guanque Tower to spend big money.

Not to mention anything else, the daily wages of ten master craftsmen are not a small amount.

“There is no problem with our cash flow at all! And I plan to pay back part of the debt to Jiuge City after the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

When it came to funds,

Zhong Ruofei immediately waved his hands.

“Huh? Our cash flow is so abundant now?”

Xu Xing and Liu Ming were startled when they heard that they could still pay off part of the debt after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

“Ever since Xia Guojiao visited our village, we have basically held a team building every two days. In addition, more and more heavy truck drivers are staying overnight at the Card Friends Home, which

has caused our gas station business to soar. There is a queue of heavy trucks!

I looked at it yesterday and found that the daily profit of the gas station has reached 70,000 yuan, which exceeds the net profit of the campground.

If this continues, we will probably need to add another diesel depot.”

Zhong Ruofei smiled. .

The weather now is perfect for traveling and engaging in team building activities. It is expected that team building activities will gradually decrease after the National Day.

But by that time,

many projects in Binghu Village will be on track one after another, and they will not be as dependent on team building activities as they are now.

“Okay! It’s settled then!”

“Yeah!”

Just when Xu Xing was about to say something more, his cell phone suddenly rang.

When he picked it up and took a look,

Xu Xing suddenly looked surprised.

After nodding to Zhong Ruofei and Liu Ming, he stood up and went to the side to answer the phone.

“Hello, Secretary Sun!”

The call came from Sun Cheng, the first leader of Asai County.

“Xu Zhishu, are you busy right now?”

The next moment, Sun Cheng’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“You’re not busy, just say it!”

“That’s it. After discussion with the superior department, it was decided to establish Binghu Village as a model and benchmark for rural construction in Suqing Province. Your position remains unchanged, and your rank has been set to assistant researcher!

Tomorrow The documents will be sent to the county.”

“Ah? The rank has been promoted to assistant investigator?”

Xu Xing paused.

At the tea table, Liu Ming and Zhong Ruofei looked at each other in surprise after hearing these words.

They naturally know what it means to be an assistant researcher.

“The village party secretary at the deputy director level is still so young. In the future, the employees of Binghu Cultural Tourism will probably face a lot of pressure from Xiao Xu.”

After returning to his senses, Zhong Ruofei exhaled subconsciously.

As the days pass and the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer,

everyone in Binghu Village is busy, and various projects are continuing to progress steadily.

On September 6th,

Xu Xing met two old fur processing craftsmen. After seeing their skills, he stayed in Binghu Village with a basic salary of 8,000 yuan per month.

This basic salary level has reached the highest level of the director of Ice Lake Cultural Tourism.

On the same day, the foundation treatment of the ancient theater building and the podium buildings on both sides was completed, and the ground construction began.

On September 7, Zhong Ruofei spent money to find a professional accounting company to register an individual business called Binghu Leather Factory in Jiuge City.

On September 13th,

the Ice Lake Breeding Farm was officially completed. One hundred camels, one thousand ostriches and one hundred yaks were put into the pen, and

veterinarians and feeding workers were officially put on duty.

However, the director of the breeding farm has not yet been decided, and Zhong Ruofei will serve concurrently for the time being.

It was on this day that the leather workshop began to work under the guidance of two old craftsmen.

The design of the leather workshop is not like an ancient building. It is an ordinary modern two-story house plus an operating shed and other professional facilities.

At the same time,

three colored steel rooms filled with furs and camel bones were also moved to the leather workshop. next to.

On September 18,

the fourth staff dormitory was officially completed and entered the drying and interior decoration stage.

At this point,

four small buildings stand opposite each other along National Highway 215, and it already has the feel of a small northwest street.

On this day, the ancient theater building reached its third floor and was one floor short of being capped. At the same time, the main part of the podium buildings on both sides had been completed and glazed tiles had begun to be installed.

On September 24th, with only three days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival,

the ancient theater building was officially completed and the barriers began to be removed one after another.

Xue Yutian brought several workers and began to prepare for the petrochemical company’s party.

Of course, the ancient theater area was removed from the fence.

On this day,

firecrackers suddenly sounded about one kilometer away from the streets of Asai County, and the Yongshou Camel Factory’s Western Legend Campground was officially built.

After a ribbon-cutting celebration,

Zhao Ping and Gou Shuixi also began to prepare for the first team-building activity at the Western Legend Campground.

At seven o’clock in the afternoon on September 25th,

Xu Xing stood in front of the fourth small building, looking at the row of buildings due north, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

After a few months,

Binghu Village has finally taken on a new look, no longer as lonely as before.

When the Stork Tower is completed,

not only will the campground’s reception capacity be greatly improved, but also with the addition of the ancient theater building and the four-story ancient office buildings on the east and west sides of Bonfire Square,

the core area of Binghu Village will look more high-end and more beautiful. !

“The campground reception will be moved here tomorrow!”

Looking back, he glanced at the bottom floor of the fourth small building, and then Xu Xing turned and walked towards Yiyuan.

There’s nothing we can do about it.

Food stalls are in urgent need of space.

We can only leave the entire first floor of the first small ancient building to the food stalls. Among the three ground floors here, one is used as a reception desk and the other is used as a cultural and creative shop.

The remaining one is planned to be a roadside barbecue restaurant.

There was no way around it.

In recent times, the opinions of individual travelers staying at the campground were getting louder and louder.

Many people saw the team building staff eating roasted camel meat. They could only do it outside in a hurry, so they looked for the reception desk.

Some heavy truck drivers who stayed overnight in Binghu Village also asked questions.

After much deliberation,

Xu Xing decided to open a street barbecue restaurant opposite the clinic, offering red willow, grilled camel meat, mutton, yak meat, ostrich meat, etc. to meet different types of needs.

In this way, you can also bring some special food such as tripe, heart and liver, which can help relieve the pressure of the food stalls.

Ten minutes later, Xu Xing returned to Yiyuan’s residence. Just when he was about to wash his face before going to eat,

there was a knock on the door.

“Xiao Xu, are you there?”

Upon hearing this,

Xu Xing turned around and came to the door and opened the door.

“Brother Shi, come in and sit down first!”

The person who knocked on the door was none other than Shi Lenian.
