So all things considered, this enterprise was the best choice.
When Li Yalin came to the entrance of this food processing enterprise, he found that this enterprise didn’t even have a security staff, the dilapidated gate was open all the time, from the outside, the scale of the plant was large, but it was also true that there were some years of age, and the whole thing appeared to be rather dilapidated.
The area with the most advanced door is an open space of about 3,000 to 4,000 square metres, where a dilapidated Fiat car is parked, as well as a variety of bicycles and a small number of simple motorbikes modified to the point of total disrepair.
The right hand side looked like an unloading and storage area, as there was not only a convenient unloading dock here, but also a well-sealed monolithic building, which Li Yalin surmised to be a cold storage, used to store raw materials, just as a truck was parked right in front of the dock, from which a few loaders were carrying down fresh seafood covered in ice and moving it into the cold storage at the back;
Behind the cold storage is connected to the largest single factory building, which should be the processing line, there is also a similar cargo platform on the left hand side, the back of this platform is also equipped with a closed building, Li Yalin speculated that this should be the finished product storage area as well as the loading area.
When Li Yalin came to the door of the biggest factory in the middle, the roar inside was already deafening, due to the fact that canned goods need to be heated for production as well as heated for sterilisation, the huge doorway kept rolling outwards with humid heat waves.
It wasn’t until Li Yalin walked into the factory building that someone finally noticed the unfamiliar face, so someone went up to him and questioned him vigilantly in the local language, Li Yalin saw that he looked like an ordinary worker, so he took out a ten-dollar note and handed it to him, saying in English, “Where is your boss? I want to see him.”
The other party didn’t understand English or French, but he still heard the word boss, so he immediately understood that Li Yalin wanted to see his boss, plus the other party was quite generous, ten dollars was already higher than his own one day’s salary, so he immediately fawned and gestured to Li Yalin, and enthusiastically led him to his boss’s office.
The boss’s office, located on the side of the factory building in a steel structure supported by a two-storey house, where all four sides were covered with glass, and the entire factory building could be seen in full view.
Seeing that his employee had brought a stranger, the boss was also a bit surprised, so he started to look at Li Yalin from a distance.
Li Yalin in disguise, although people can not see the real face, but also still an Asian face, and this factory as well as its upstream and downstream, almost all the Moroccan locals, so see the Asian people here, is indeed very rare.
Li Yalin had investigated the background of this boss before he came, he was sixty-one years old this year, and was originally a local civil servant who went out to work in a higher level city government department, and then because he felt that there was a prospect in the seafood processing industry, he resigned and went into the sea, and returned to his hometown nearby to open a canning factory.
Because he is a local, and in the city as a civil servant has accumulated a lot of contacts, so he came back to build the factory got a lot of favourable policies, not only gave him a lot of land, but also got a lot of low-interest loans, the scale is also considered to be bigger and bigger.
However, because he was starting from scratch, so the start of the business in the beginning of many years, his own actual income is not high, the money earned either to repay the loan, or used to make some connections.
In the seven or eight years after the loans were all paid off, his income level should have been pretty good, with profits of around $200,000 a year, which is considered very much in the local area.
But the last few years have been much worse, and his annual profits have now shrunk to a paltry $30,000 to $50,000 a year.
