Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 605 Donghua Village Project

10 month 25 number.

Guanxian Expressway Exit.

A continuous line of heavy trailers, fully loaded with various types of machinery and equipment, moved along the far right lane, stopping and starting, passing through the toll station one after another.

The deputy head of the Liaocheng police force dispatched to Guanxian County personally led the officers of Guanxian County to inspect, verify, and report the seals on the carriages or machinery using police equipment.

Normally, as one of the satellite cities of Shiliying, Liaocheng should give the green light to the three-series equipment that Caterpillar relocated from Shiliying after acquiring Sanyuan Machinery-Santui Industry, given that these convoys are investments in Guanxian County within its territory.

Liaocheng believed in the three systems, in Shiliying, and in Caterpillar, but not in the 'business war' secretly waged by other capital.

Just like yesterday.

After Pfizer acquired Sanyuan Pharmaceutical-Nanyun Medicated Plaster Company, it completed all the transfer procedures after a week of capital verification, and celebrated with champagne at the Nanyun Hotel that evening.

Unexpectedly, while a group of executives were indulging in a life of luxury, near dawn, a group of agile figures dressed in black evaded all surveillance and broke into the vault of Nanyun Medicated Plaster Company, copying the company's core trade secrets.

Then this morning, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, using unknown means, registered related patents in Japan, Europe, South Africa, North America, West Asia, Central Asia, and South America with a formula for a medicated plaster that is 78% similar to the original.

Furthermore, when the three security forces, based on clues, identified the culprit as the Japanese ninja, and followed the trail to list Kobayashi Pharmaceutical as a suspect, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical not only acted with impunity but also presented their ancestral proof.

At this moment, public opinion in Japan is fully in support of Kobayashi.

Not to mention Pfizer, even the North American Federation was somewhat surprised and uncertain about Japan's sudden change in attitude towards the United States.

Let's set aside the relationship between Japan and North America for now.

This theft of trade secrets is equivalent to Pfizer spending a lot of money to buy Nanyun Medicated Plaster Company, but only gaining three markets: the East, North America, and Southeast Asia. It can be said that they suffered a huge loss in silence.

Therefore, the dispatch of police officers by Liaocheng to maintain strict vigilance is both a sign of respect for Caterpillar Inc. and a demonstration of responsibility for domestic security.

10 o'clock in the morning.

Busy with work.

A slightly larger van with thicker wheels and a more substantial overall appearance slowly approached the tollbooth from the left lane.

The deputy head of the Liaocheng police force's sharp eyes swept over the vehicle and license plate, and he was about to instruct his men to let it pass.

A trainee police officer stopped the car. "Stop the car and check it."

The van lowered one of its driver's side windows, revealing a square, resolute face with sharply defined eyebrows.

At the same time, a deep voice came from inside, "Hello, food delivery."

"Where to send it...?"

Before the officer could finish speaking, the deputy head of the Liaocheng City Police Department stepped forward and said, "Hello sir, there is road construction ahead, please slow down."

As he spoke, he glanced at the back row and saw a face he hadn't seen in years. He felt a chill and signaled the tollbooth to raise the barrier.

Seven years ago, when he was the head of the traffic police brigade in Liaocheng, he had the opportunity to apprehend the "AMG Tiger King who abducted the Liaocheng Glass Factory and Plastic Factory and embezzled loans from the Liaocheng City Bank".

Although I didn't even get to experience the exhaust fumes of an AMG back then, I was deeply impressed by the homeowner, Yu Yang, who was caught on camera for a traffic violation, and that impression only deepened as time went on and he retired from the game.

Upon seeing him again today, the deputy head of the Liaocheng City Police Department, even knowing that Yu Sanyuan couldn't possibly remember him, felt extremely guilty...

Yu Yang was looking at the surrounding industrial planning when he heard the conversation. He subconsciously looked up, and the other person's information and some of their interactions immediately appeared on his AR glasses.

"Isn't this Xiao Zhao? Long time no see, you've been promoted to deputy position."

The deputy head of the Liaocheng City Police Department was struck dumb, but didn't know what to say.

Yu Yang encouraged him, "That's great. Keep up the good work, and you'll definitely be able to get a permanent position within three years."

"Thank you for your kindness, Chairman Yu."

The tollbooth gate opened, and driver Chang Fu nodded to the outside, rolled up the window, and drove off.

The deputy head of the Liaocheng City Police Department secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The trainee officer, fearless as a newborn calf, asked, "Sir, is this Chairman Yu?"

"Hush, how could we possibly know his whereabouts? Remember, if we didn't see him, we don't know anything about him."

"Yes!"

five minutes later.

The van turned past the highway exit and parked on the side of the road.

Yu Yang got off the car, followed closely by the factory secretary, who explained:

"Chairman Yu, this is Donghua Village, which you planned to visit half a year ago."

"It used to belong to Dianzi Town, with about 400 households and less than 2,000 people."

"In 02, the Third Department promoted the development of surrounding towns and villages and arranged for outstanding employees to return to their hometowns. Liang Zhichao, the only college student in Donghua Village, had achieved excellent results in the North American Shili Shopping Mall. After returning to China, he married Liu Sanni, another outstanding employee from Xingkou Township, Kaifeng, through an in-house matchmaking program."

"After returning to his hometown, Liang Zhichao worked hard and successfully became the village chief. Donghua Village also became the only industrial area surrounding the three systems within dozens of miles."

"The Liaocheng compound had a brilliant idea. In order to take advantage of the benefits of the three systems and to attract more people to the industries around the three systems, they planned a plan to 'merge townships and integrate villages'."

"That is, non-agricultural household registration in townships will remain in the townships and will be counted as urban residents in the future."

"The agricultural households in the townships were moved to Donghua Village and became farmers in the industrial area surrounding the Three Systems."

"Therefore, only the core area of ​​Dianzi Town remains, and the villages under its jurisdiction have all been assigned to Donghua Village."

"This move caused the population of Donghua Village to surge to 2.3."

"In the past few years, Liang Zhichao has used the resources of the three systems to create planting areas for Guanxian pears and Guanxian Ganoderma lucidum in Donghua Village, as well as to package tourist attractions such as the No. 1 Pear Orchard in China and Qingquanhe Scenic Area."

"Compared to before 02, this area can be considered to have achieved poverty alleviation as a whole."

"Currently, the per capita GDP is 1.7 yuan, and the per capita annual income is 7800 yuan."

"Now that Caterpillar East has been established here, once it goes into production, according to the simulation results, the per capita GDP of Donghua Village is expected to increase 30 times, and the per capita annual income is expected to exceed 2 yuan."

As Yu Yang listened, he walked through the swirling dust and took shelter under the awning of a tin shack by the roadside.

Then he looked at the elderly people sunbathing on the other side of the road.

"Sitting so neatly, it's a real shame they're not going to work as gatekeepers for Caterpillar."

"Then I'll say hello to Liang Zhichao."

The factory secretary immediately took out the SY handheld console.

Yu Yang then looked towards the new industrial zone to the northeast, where construction had already begun.

In fact, these plans were already finalized by our family before the return of outstanding employees to their hometowns in 02.

Once the three systems reach their current strength, everything will fall into place naturally, and formal implementation will begin.

Yes, look at 02 from 06, or look at 06 from 10.

This is the job of the Sanyuan Think Tank - Mad Dog Think Tank; otherwise, what would be the point of having that bunch of old men and women?

This is why he planned to visit Guanxian County six months ago. However, according to the original plan, this should have been a manufacturing plant for HP, Dell, or Apple.

Or.

In 02, the company decided to take advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis in North America from 06 to 08 to destroy North America's heavy industry and then help the other side dominate the consumer electronics field. This led to the creation of Obi, a three-way comprador enterprise in North America.

This would cause North America to completely lose its industrial capabilities, and in the future, it would only focus on consumer electronics.

But federal capital isn't that foolish; it's willing to sacrifice companies like HP, Dell, ATI, and Motorola to protect engineering companies like General Motors, Caterpillar, and John Deere.

As a result, HP, Dell, ATI, and others were on the verge of bankruptcy and restructuring.

General Motors, Caterpillar, and John Deere are not only doing well, but also have the resources to participate in the bidding for the three-series.

Ultimately, Caterpillar formed Caterpillar East in the East, while HP, Dell, ATI, and others did not come.

As for why North America supports Caterpillar and John Deere, but not HP and Dell...

Despite the high global brand recognition of HP, Dell, and Apple.

It boasts billions of customers and annual sales of hundreds of billions of US dollars, with profits reaching tens of billions of US dollars.

However, internationally, especially in the current situation, in terms of status, all of them combined do not equal Caterpillar, a single heavy industry enterprise.

Simply put, Caterpillar is a pure industrial manufacturer.

Its core businesses include the design, research and development, production, and sales of engines and heavy industrial equipment.

Our product line includes: excavators, bulldozers, mining trucks, diesel/natural gas engines, generator sets, industrial gas turbines, and more.

All of these are core production materials in fields such as industrial manufacturing, infrastructure construction, and mining and energy.

If war breaks out, HP, Dell, Apple, Obi, and others will not be able to convert their equipment into weapons.

Caterpillar can not only operate, but also acquire more advanced fully automated equipment, such as mechanical armor and war robots, through research, development, creation, and acquisition.

This is the fundamental reason why the North American government, federal capital, and others allowed Caterpillar to set up its headquarters in the East.

Or rather, in North America, neither Caterpillar, nor Boeing, Raytheon, nor Grumman can manufacture modern mechanical armor and war robots comparable to the three systems.

Caterpillar's acquisition of 'Sanyuan Machinery-Santui Industrial' and the completion of the production line installation will allow it to directly produce the first generation of the three-line mechanical armor and the first generation of the three-line tracked self-propelled war robots.

Therefore, Caterpillar willingly settled in Donghua Village, Guan County.

Of course, Caterpillar didn't lose out.

This is one of the three military-to-civilian conversion projects, and it's a win-win situation.

The three companies sold off redundant assets to promote development in the East.

Caterpillar gains access to three-system automation, maintaining its dominant position in North America.

As for whether selling off these automated equipment will lead to a backstabbing from North America...
The automated equipment employs a simplified civilian dispatch system based on a three-electrode central processing unit, a three-electrode communication network, a three-electrode data link, and a three-electrode command and control platform...

It can be said that they are all incompatible with Western technology, and the underlying technology is entirely controlled by the three systems.

What makes North America capable of backstabbing the three major systems?
At the same time, the three-line system can also leverage foreign companies like Caterpillar that have established headquarters in the East to promote its technology globally and gradually erode the market share of Western technology alliances worldwide.

Yu Yang rested for a moment under the tin shack before walking into Donghua Village.

Three years ago, the industrial zone surrounding the three systems took the lead in launching the 'Rural Road Hardening Project'.

It roughly means: high-speed rail connects counties and cities, rail passenger trains connect townships, asphalt roads reach village entrances, and cement roads reach doorsteps.

After three years of hard work, the project was completed at the end of 06. Following the "Village-to-Village Connectivity" initiative proposed by Dongfang in 06, which connects counties, cities, towns, and villages outside the three major systems, the project is expected to be completed in 08.

Before the rural road hardening project was launched, the Sanxi Industrial Zone did not re-plan the villages due to factors such as the "urban siphon effect" and "future rural population migration to cities".

To avoid spending time, effort, and money rebuilding a large number of rural villas, only to have them all fall into disrepair in a few years.

Therefore, Donghua Village, which was pieced together from various parts of Liaocheng, has a very scattered administrative map, and its overall shape is '宀'-shaped, encircling the northern suburbs of Guan County, just like the map of Shiliying, which is both ugly and long.

Yu Yang entered the village from the northwest corner and looked up to see the 'Village Affairs Publicity Board'.

This is a large outdoor screen that is 8 meters long, 2 meters high, and 2 meters off the ground.

The left side displays agriculture-related information, including weather, replanting, fertilization, irrigation, grain prices, etc.

The middle section displays information relevant to villagers, including vaccinations, regular checkups, influenza prevention, safety, lost and found items, etc.

The right side displays information related to the rule of law, including prohibitions against domestic violence, abuse, and theft; legal education; and patriotism and love for one's village.

Then, some job openings and entrepreneurship/poverty alleviation information were posted at the bottom...

Three years ago, the villagers might have come to take a look out of curiosity.

But now, the factory-external identity cards, the identity cards for the three surrounding industrial zones, etc., have been fully upgraded, with functions no less than those of a 3G mobile phone. By logging into the village affairs APP, one can learn about everything without leaving home.

There are also groups where villagers can discuss any issues and anonymously report village officials to the AI-based "Land God" through the backend.

As a result of these measures, the employment rate of adults in the industrial areas surrounding the three systems is almost 99%.

Even Liang Ergou, a notorious lazybones from Donghua Village, would hurriedly find a temporary job to fill in before each quarterly employment census, just to avoid being sent to Africa.

This also resulted in Donghua Village, with a population of over 2, being deserted during the day.

Apart from elderly people sunbathing and patrolling stray dogs, there were hardly any other figures to be seen.

Various shops are mostly half-open during the day, or even closed altogether, only reopening in the evening.

Yu Yang walked through several alleys, but seeing that he couldn't understand the people's situation... no, the workers' situation, he simply went into the 'village-run factory'.

The most famous local product of Guanxian County is the Ya pear.

Although it was late October, the pear season was over.

However, the cold-resistant pears cultivated through the three-line system have just entered their peak sales season.

Upon arriving at the factory, one could hear the livestreamer hysterically shouting "Three, two, one, link up!" through the gate...

They used their privileges to swipe their cards to enter the factory area.

On one side are mountains of packaging boxes, and on the other side is an automated packaging line.

Between the two, hundreds of villagers were scattered in various corners. Some were manually sorting the samples after the machine screening, while others were manually inspecting them again after the machine was covered with a safety net...

Yu Yang strolled around the perimeter for a while, and then went to check out the neighboring factory areas.

Afterwards, we visited the affiliated primary school set up by the Hundred Schools Alliance in Donghua Village. We first looked at the classrooms, then the cafeteria, and then the laboratories, sports equipment, and the three-system computer room...
Wait until evening.

How many villages like ours are there?

The factory secretary adjusted his glasses and took out a tablet computer. "Originally there were 20,000 units, but in recent years, in order to accommodate the urban population, we have reduced them to 13,000."

"Should I walk around one by one?"

"If you're really too free, that's fine too."
