Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 77 This is not an abandoned rail

When Old Dong saw Yu Yang blowing the wine bottle to his lips, he quickly reached out to stop him.

"I finally came to Shiliying, and I was hoping you would take me on a tour and introduce the progress of the factory construction. If I drink this bottle of wine, I'm afraid I'll end up in the hospital."

"It's okay, boss. I can drink a lot. Just remember this."

"I remember it damn well."

The boss replied unhappily.

In his opinion.

When talking about the demolition of Dongshan compound, Yu Yang suddenly became excited. It should be related to Old Sun of Dongshan Mansion.

Let me ask you, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, with not much experience, who can remain calm when faced with the spying of higher-ups, ruthless people coming to the door, and the police arresting people?

As a young man, it is understandable that Yu Yang said a few harsh words out of anger.

The old boss consoled him: "Everyone wants good things. In fact, there are many people like Lao Sun."

"Especially after the reform of state-owned enterprises, the number of state-owned enterprises has decreased, and many people have lost their money."

"The current business environment is not very friendly to private enterprises. Those who spend money lavishly and are used to extravagant lifestyles will naturally have bad intentions towards private enterprises."

"Besides, like Dong Jian, the next generation must also be alive!"

"So, Lao Sun is not the last one, nor is he the highest one."

"All you have to do is rush forward, rush to a higher place, and then use the people in a higher position to step on Lao Sun."

Yu Yang must have understood this truth and nodded subconsciously.

But he was more concerned about demolishing the provincial compound to sell vegetables…

Seeing that the young man had listened to his words, the boss stood up with great satisfaction and looked around the office.

Sanyuan Agriculture is a new start-up, and the things it has now are mainly for emergency use. Most of the tables, chairs and cabinets are mass-produced in wood factories, and the surfaces are only simply polished with sandpaper, without any paint or design.

However, the office supplies that the sales manager of the computer city helped to replenish every now and then were fully utilized.

More than just computers, printers, fax machines, landlines, paper, ink, and pen holders.

There are also projectors, cameras, video recorders, water dispensers...

These things, combined with the ancient-style houses with steel-concrete structures and simple decoration style, do have a somewhat primitive feel.

Old Dong looked left and right, and saw the ebony tea table moved from the small western-style building. He walked forward to take a look.

"nice one!"

"This is a gift from a fat bald man in Nanhe Fan County. I don't have the habit of drinking tea. If you like it, I'll have someone send it home."

"Are you planning on having me drink tea more often?"

Yu Yang was slightly stunned.

People like Lao Dong seem to be most afraid of drinking tea.

He quickly changed the subject, "What I meant is that if you invite people to have tea, we can also have a good reputation at that time."

The boss waved his hands and said, "It's just a showpiece. If I use it, I'm afraid the higher-ups will find out. If I don't use it, no one will know. What's the point of having it?"

Yu Yang thought it sounded familiar and nodded in approval, "That makes sense!"

Chat for a while.

Spearman Chang Lu came running to inform them that the food was ready and they could eat at any time.

Yu Yang immediately took the boss to the farmyard behind the office area.

It was noon and the cafeteria was open for lunch.

The sisters-in-law packed up some stews from there, laid out the plates, and used the small stove to make a portion of cumin tofu skin and cumin mushrooms.

Then three cold dishes are served, and a mushroom soup hotpot is served.

Yu Yang looked at the hotpot and recalled the first time he made hotpot in the village courtyard. At the end of the tasting, the village chief said that the rails must have been bearing feces and urine for more than a decade.

I instantly lost my appetite.

But we cannot say that the hot pot is not clean. After all, high-temperature disinfection is carried out during the forging process, and impurities are removed.

At least Mr. Dong enjoyed the food.

"This hot pot is good, especially the slogan. It is always available at home. For the working class, eating a simple hot pot every two or three days in the winter is not a burden."

Seeing this, Yu Yang thought of the hot pot dishes from another time and space, so he simply picked two cucumbers from the farmyard next door, washed them, and then picked up the peeling knife that was only used for the semi-finished vegetable department. He held the cucumbers with one hand without turning them over, and scraped them hard with the other hand.

In this way, long slices of cucumber will come out.

He brought it to Mr. Dong, picked up a piece with chopsticks, dipped it in the pot for two seconds, then dipped it in the sesame sauce in his bowl, and then put it in his mouth.

"Tsk tsk..."

The boss followed suit, "Mmm, fresh and crispy with a hot pot flavor, not bad, not bad!"

So, I ate a whole plate of cucumber slices.

Just eat it until you are full.

During this time, neither of them drank much because they had other things to do in the afternoon.

After eating and drinking, I returned to the office and made some tea to relieve my greasy feeling.

The topic returned to the issue of the future development of Sanyuan Agriculture.

Yu Yang took out the new planning map he had made in the past two days.

"The farmland on the east side of the highway belongs to Shiliying and is used to build a vegetable base."

"The farmland on the west side of the highway belongs to Hangai Township, which has twice the population of Shiliying and three times the farmland area, about 10 mu."

"The vegetable planting project is now on track. The next step is to make money. There will be no further adjustments to the overall plan." "Sanyuan Agriculture plans to contract 10 mu of arable land in Hangai Township to cultivate soybean seeds, and then expand the planting area and acquire 30 mu of arable land in Buddha Temple to develop a series of agricultural and sideline products, such as tofu, soy milk, soy flour, and soy oil."

The old boss frowned slightly. "Now is the era of science and technology. Breeding is no longer limited to hybridization. In this regard, we in the East are relatively backward. Are you sure Sanyuan Agriculture has talents in this area?"

Yu Yang has farmers and farmland, which means he has talents and technology, but it is difficult to explain where these things came from.

However, you can go around the issue and change the subject and talk about it later.

"Leader, Sanyuan Agriculture's initial goal is to go public. With you here, financing is not a problem, but after going public, how the stock price will perform depends on what we can come up with."

“The existing vegetable industry needs scale and volume to slightly increase its share price.”

"But the technology is different. If we can develop a soybean seed that can increase soybean yield by 20%, the Thai market will take off immediately."

How could the boss not understand this truth? But compared to vegetable production, technology is more difficult to obtain. "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Yu Yang took out the soybeans grown in plastic greenhouse No. 9 from the drawer. "These are the seeds from the first round of cultivation. I asked the technicians at the seed station to take them for inspection. The protein content is about 41%. If the protein content is increased through fertilizers, pesticides, light and other factors during the second round of cultivation, it will be ready for sale."

"Since you have confidence, I will not say more, but seeds involve food security and regional stability. At most, I will let farmers in Tai City plant soybean seeds from Sanyuan Agriculture."

"No problem. There is no need for the city to intervene. Once the soybean seeds are cultivated, I plan to give them to farmers for free."

"Oh?"

"For example, the technicians estimated that the yield of the first generation of soybean seeds was 400 kilograms per mu. I would tell the farmers that if they could not produce 400 kilograms, the cost of the soybean seeds would be fully refunded, and Sanyuan Agriculture would purchase the harvested seeds at a price % higher than the market price.

On the other hand, if more than 400 kilograms are grown, Sanyuan Agriculture will purchase the first 400 kilograms at a price 400% higher than the market price, and the portion above kilograms at a price % higher than the market price.

The boss thought about it and said, "I am afraid that farmers will play the game of Tian Ji's horse racing. Although all of them grow more than 400 catties, when they report it, they change some of them to less than 400 catties and ask for a refund of the seed money. Then they change another part to more than 400 catties, or even make a joke of 800 catties per mu, just to sell it at a price % higher than the market price."

"Then I win."

"Ok?"

Old Dong was slightly stunned, then he reacted.

Yes, when farmers carefully study the yield rules, it means that they will definitely use Sanyuan soybean seeds this year.

At this time, Sanyuan seeds instantly became popular in the market.

Farmers harvest soybeans and sell them to Sanyuan Agriculture. Whether the price is 10% or 20% higher, Sanyuan Agriculture can launch agricultural and sideline products to ensure a steady profit.

In this way, more farmers will join the plan, and Sanyuan Agriculture will launch more agricultural and sideline products...

In this way, an industrial chain was formed.

Old Dong looked at the second set of industrial plans covering Hangai Township, Buddha Temple, and a total of 40 acres of arable land with an extremely complicated look.

Why have the companies we supported in the past never been so supportive?

Are those companies being lazy, or are they the entrepreneurs embezzling the support funds?
I need to go back and investigate this matter thoroughly.

However, the most important thing for Sanyuan Agriculture is breeding.

Without seeds, everything is empty talk.

The old boss stood up and said, "After I go back, I will ask the seed agency to select a batch of high-quality bean seeds for you."

"No need for leadership, Sanyuan Agriculture will only study wild soybean species to avoid patent disputes in the future."

"That's right!" The boss nodded and looked at the secretary.

The latter closed the notebook and put away the ballpoint pen, indicating that he had written everything down.

The boss picked up the cigarette box and lighter on the table and said, "Let's go and check out the factory."

"Let me take you to experience the light rail transportation in Shiliying first."

"Light rail transportation?"

"Yes, light transport tracks, plus locomotives, make up light rail, right?"

"Makes sense."

"Once we take over the farmland in Hangai Township to the west and put the track through that bridge tunnel, we can even call it a subway."

"..."

"It is estimated that in our eastern region, Shiliying will become the first remote township to build a light rail and a subway. You must make a big fuss about this and report it on TV."

"That's not necessary." Old Dong waved his hands repeatedly.

If the news spread to the capital, he would probably become a laughing stock for the rest of his life.

However, Yu Yang's face was serious, "Leader, I am serious."

"..."

"Think carefully, our tracks and locomotives, except that they don't run underground, are they any different from the subway?"

“It doesn’t seem to make any difference.”

"Then can our city of Tai build a subway?"

"Definitely not. With only two counties, they don't meet the requirements at all."

"Then why can Shiliying build tracks?"

"You are on the factory track."

"Isn't this right!"

Yu Yang came to the administrative planning map of Tai City and connected Shiliying and Dongyuetianwai Bridge with a pencil. "When I have money, Sanyuan Agriculture will take all these arable lands. Then I will build you a track inside the factory. If you admit that it is a light rail now, won't our Tai City have a light rail?"

"???"

It makes so much sense!
