Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 174 Cooperation
Lunch was sumptuous.

After eating it, Xu Jianglin's family's reaction was no different from that of other people when they ate it for the first time.

"Xiao Yue, why are the things you grow and raise so delicious?" Xiong Benkai asked in surprise, "Then you shouldn't have any trouble selling these things, right?"

"Why are you asking such nonsense?" Xu Jianglin asked.

Why is it so delicious? Can someone tell you?
Can you find out about this?
"High-tech cultivation and organic farming." Xu Yue said, "To be specific, it's a bit complicated."

"These things are definitely easy to sell," Xu Jiangming said. "Xiao Yue even partnered with someone to open an agricultural trading company specializing in sales."

"It's so delicious, it should be more expensive than the ones on the market, right?" said Xu Jianglin.

You get what you pay for!
The taste of this stuff alone is worth the money.

"It's definitely more expensive!" Xu Jiangming said, "The costs are already so high. If the price remains the same, we'll be losing money."

Xu Jiangming didn't say how much the price was, and there was no need to.

I can't provoke my proud brother-in-law anymore.

"Why isn't my cooking good?" Li Xiurong suddenly said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, I've never tasted enough of your cooking," Xu Jianglin said. "Besides, don't I know my own cooking skills? I'm the chef for this dish."

Li Xiurong smiled immediately.

She just said that and didn't really attribute the deliciousness to her cooking skills.

Who doesn’t understand who?
“This rice is delicious too.”

Kumamoto Kai supported his wife in disguise.

Vegetables require cooking skills, but rice should not require cooking skills, right?
After all, this is cooked in a rice cooker.

If you use a rice steamer, you need to control the heat, but you don’t need that with an electric rice cooker!

When cooking rice in a rice cooker, if the rice tastes hard, add less water; if the rice tastes soft, add more water.

But the rice steamer won’t work!

Although Xiong Benhai used to feel superior and looked down on the Xu Yue family, he was indeed good to Xu Jianglin.

This is also the reason why Xu Chengyang does not hate his son-in-law.

The meal took a long time.

After dinner, Xu Jianglin and his family did not go back immediately.

Xu Yue had nothing to do with how his second aunt and second uncle arranged things.

He took Xiong Yong to the fishing center to fish.

Dinner is earlier than usual.

After dinner, Xu Jianglin and his family said goodbye and left.

Xu Yue's family sent a lot of things.

Chicken, rabbit, fish, rice, and some vegetables.

There are also two bottles of Moutai.

In fact, Xu Yue wanted to give him some wine, which is better for the body.

But after thinking about my second uncle's personality, I still took the Maotai.

He brings face to his guests by entertaining them.

"Going into the mountains tomorrow?"

After Xu Jianglin and his family left, Xu Jianghe looked at Xu Yue and said.

"it is good!"

Xu Yue nodded.

However, after breakfast the next day, when they were really preparing to go into the mountains, they didn't expect to have any visitors.

Li Liang and his leader.

The person left his business card before: Jing Guohua!

Just his name and phone number.

However, Xu Yue felt that his position was not low.

Xu Yue looked at his third uncle and felt that the two men were coming for him.

The truth is that it's not just directed at Xu Jianghe.

“Good tea!”

After visiting Xu Chengyang, Li Liang and Jing Guohua went to the bamboo house.

Xu Yue and Xu Jianghe accompanied him.

Zhang Ruoxi didn't come with them.

On the balcony, Jing Guohua took a sip of tea and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"I'll get straight to the point." Jing Guohua put down his teacup and said, "This time, in addition to inviting Mr. Xu Jianghe to join my department, I also want to reach a cooperation with Mr. Xu Yue."

"I'm joining your department?" Xu Jianghe was a little confused and said, "Are you kidding?"

He had heard Xu Yue mention that Li Liang was now a member of a special state department.

If we put it in the novel, it has some meaning of the 749 Bureau compared to the Jinyiwei, Liushenmen and so on.

Of course, their authority is definitely not as great as that of the Jinyiwei.

However, they are in charge of the affairs of the underworld, and they have great authority. Under special circumstances, the military and police will provide support and cooperation.

"No kidding." Jing Guohua said, "Our department needs experts like you."

Xu Jianghe looked at Xu Yue, seemingly undecided.

"The leader should have invited me earlier." Xu Yue said with a smile, "If I had invited him earlier, my uncle would definitely not have refused."

"That's so insincere."

Jing Guohua shook his head and said that of course he invited Xu Jianghe not only because of Xu Jianghe himself, but also because of other considerations.

Earlier?

Jiang He was still there a little earlier and would definitely attend if invited.

Now Xu Jianghe obviously has more choices.

"If the leader is truly sincere, why not explain to my Third Uncle what he needs to pay and what he can gain by joining?" Xu Yue said. "After all, my Third Uncle doesn't know anything about your department. Give him some room to think."

He didn't understand it either, but he wasn't very interested.

As for what his third uncle thought, Xu Yue didn't know.

If he doesn't want to go, Xu Yue can make him rich.

But Xu Yue didn't know whether that was the life his uncle wanted.

Jing Guohua smiled and then gave Li Liang a look.

"Uncle San, how about we go for a walk?" Li Liang said.

He had practiced kung fu with Xu Jianghe, but he didn't become his disciple, so he just followed Xu Yue and called him Third Uncle.

Xu Jianghe heard this and nodded immediately.

He was actually a little tempted, but he had already promised Xu Yue before.

Men spit and nail.

Compared to hanging out with Xu Yue, hanging out with the country is undoubtedly more in line with Xu Jianghe's character.

And his kung fu skills are more useful.

If he goes, it will be good for Xu Yue.

Xu Yue's attitude was obviously to let him decide for himself.

"The leader wants to discuss cooperation with me?" Xu Yue asked, "I wonder what kind of cooperation I can have with you?"

"Those things you grow and raise!" Jing Guohua said, "especially meat and medicinal wine. Oh, and this tea!"

Xu Yue nodded when he heard that.

He wasn't surprised.

People in special departments understand the value of these things better than ordinary people.

Most people eat more to satisfy their appetite, and they may not believe that it is good for the body.

But for those who are special, it’s different.

"How much does the leader want?" Xu Yue said, "The current production volume is not very large."

"Everything else is easy," Jing Guohua said. "What we really want to cooperate on is ginseng. We want to use artificially cultivated ginseng to replicate the medicinal properties of wild ginseng, and in a short period of time, we can achieve results in decades, or even hundreds of years!"

Xu Yue didn't say anything.

Xu Yue was not surprised at all that Jing Guohua knew this.

How much of what the state departments really want to know can be hidden?

Besides, this matter is not difficult to investigate.

They may have studied how Xu Yue did it, but were unable to replicate it, so they sought cooperation with Xu Yue.

Most of them guessed that Xu Yue used non-technological means.

"Can the planting area of ​​those ginseng be expanded?" Jing Guohua said, "No matter how much, our department can take it all." Xu Yue could see that Jing Guohua's real purpose was ginseng.

No wonder he took a few more glances at the place where ginseng was grown.

The effect of ginseng is obviously much stronger than those meat and vegetables.

A hundred-year-old ginseng can sometimes save your life.

"We can expand it a bit, but it's limited." Xu Yue said, "I don't have the ability to expand it more now."

"Then plant as much as you can," Jing Guohua said, "but the price..."

"How much can the leader give?" Xu Yue asked.

Large-scale planting?
Xu Yue didn't expect the price to be the same as the market price, it would be good if he could get a 50% discount.

What's more, with large quantities of century-old wild ginseng entering the market, the price is likely to be cut in half.

This is a long-term supply, so the price is estimated to be even lower.

"How much can you plant?" Jing Guohua asked.

That means the more you have, the lower the price.

"It's better to plant less and earn more money than to plant more. Why should I bother working so hard?" Xu Yue said, "Leader, please don't be so harsh on me."

"Fifty thousand for over fifty years, one hundred thousand for over a hundred years?"

Jing Guohua looked at Xu Yue with a smile and quoted a price, which almost made Xu Yue throw the cup in his hand at him.

As for those under fifty years old, Xu Yue probably wouldn't plant them.

"Boss, you should know that I sold a 60-year-old ginseng to Jiurentang for 400,000 yuan, and you only offered 80,000 yuan?" Xu Yue said. "And what about the 100-year-old one? You discounted it by more than ten or twenty times? That's so insincere! You can't bully us common people like this!"

Are you still a commoner?
Why do you think I came to you for cooperation?
If you were not so young and yet you suspected that you were in the third realm, I would agree with this, but some people would not agree.

"Fifty thousand? I might as well be growing vegetables!" Xu Yue said, "It's very difficult to grow artificially cultivated ginseng to have the same medicinal properties as wild ginseng. Besides, I can't delegate this task to others. I have to do it myself."

Jing Guohua understood what Xu Yue meant, which was actually just two words: add money!

It was difficult, and he had to take care of it personally.

What a powerful reason.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?" Jing Guohua said.

"Twenty, one hundred!"

Xu Yue reported two numbers, the former increased fourfold, and the latter increased tenfold.

This is half the market price.

"It's too high," Jing Guohua said. "Even if I agree here, the higher-ups won't agree."

The two bargained and finally agreed on 80,000 and 200,000!
It was only when Xu Yue saw that Jing Guohua was about to use his ultimate weapon that he finally let go.

He was really afraid that the other party would use justice to pressure him.

That thing hits the mark every time you press it.

Eighty thousand?

Two hundred thousand?
Is it cheap?
Compared with the market price, it is naturally cheap, almost the same as cabbage price.

But the key is the quantity!
One acre of land can support 30,000 to 40,000 ginseng plants. With Xu Yue's current level of cultivation, it is really no problem for him to plant one acre of ginseng.

The medicinal effect of sixty years can be achieved in two or three months.

It only takes half a year to break through the 100-year barrier.

Planting twice a year, let's say he has 60,000 plants, 200,000 per plant?
How much was your income that year?

It seems that you can get rich by planting an acre of ginseng!

This has much more money-making potential than growing vegetables and raising chickens and ducks.

"Leader, you provide the fresh ginseng." Xu Yue said, "I'm only responsible for the cultivation."

"How much do you plan to plant?" Jing Guohua nodded and said, "How much do you need?"

Artificially cultivated ginseng is cheaper.

With a business worth tens of billions a year, that little money is nothing.

What's more, they are responsible and have better confidentiality.

"At most, plant one acre." Xu Yue said, "Let's start with 30,000 plants! Send them one by one, don't send them all at once, I'll be too busy."

"Thirty thousand plants?" Jing Guohua asked. "How long will it take to cultivate them?"

"If it's a hundred-year-old ginseng, then it will take at least half a year!" Xu Yue said, "Maybe even longer!"

"Half a year, 30,000 plants?" Jing Guohua said, "That's 6 billion, right? Wouldn't that be over 10 billion a year? Is my offer too high?"

"Leader, you don't count the costs!" Xu Yue said, "I just earn some hard-earned money."

cost?

What costs can you have?
Well, maybe there is.

But Jing Guohua felt that even if there was a cost, it would not be high.

Your hard-earned money is a bit high.

However, there are 80,000 ginsengs between fifty and one hundred years old, and 200,000 ginsengs over one hundred years old!

This is indeed very cheap.

At least it was cheaper than he expected.

"As for the vegetables, I'll send someone to talk to your agricultural trading company. Just give them a heads-up to save some trouble." Jing Guohua continued, "It's possible that the military will purchase large quantities in the future. You can consider expanding the scale."

"Market demand has always been huge," Xu Yue said. "It's not that I don't want to expand, but I just don't have the ability! I have to ensure quality and not ruin my reputation."

The market demand is huge, so there is no need to worry about selling.

If the military purchases in large quantities, the supply will be even more insufficient to meet the demand.

However, if it becomes a military supply, the benefits will be unimaginable.

Li Liang and Xu Jianghe are back.

"Extraneous!"

Li Liang saw Jing Guohua looking at him and said two words.

Jing Guohua nodded, seemingly not surprised.

Xu Yue glanced at Xu Jianghe and said nothing.

However, he approved of Xu Jianghe's choice.

Maybe there is not such a guaranteed income and not such great authority, but there is a high degree of freedom and not so many restrictions.

Like Li Liang, he has returned to Gong'an City many times, but he probably rarely goes home.

Xu Yue didn't want to see this situation.

Although grandpa is in good health, he is old after all.

They drank tea and chatted until Zhang Ruoxi called them to eat.

After dinner, Jing Guohua and Li Liang said goodbye and left.

Xu Jianghe followed.

"Is it dangerous?"

Xu Jiangming couldn't help but say something.

Special department.

Xu Chengyang didn't say anything. He chose his own path.

Besides, he is quite supportive.

Working for the country is something to be proud of.

"He's just a non-staff member. He can refuse if there's any danger." Xu Yue said with a smile, "Don't worry, Third Uncle knows what's going on."

Is it dangerous?

Of course there is. Wasn’t Li Liang in danger last time?
But will Xu Jianghe refuse because of this?

Xu Yue felt it was quite bad.

But it's just to comfort the parents.

As for grandpa, there is no need to comfort him. He sees things more clearly than anyone else.

"They should be looking for you too, right?"

Back at the bamboo house, Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue.

"They approached me not to invite me to join them, but to discuss cooperation."

Xu Yue simply said something to Zhang Ruoxi.

"Hundred-year-old ginseng for two hundred thousand yuan a piece?" Zhang Ruoxi said, "Isn't that too low? People are buying it even at two million."

"What if there are tens of thousands of trees?" Xu Yue asked. "Tens of thousands of trees a year!"

"Scarcity makes things valuable, I understand that," Zhang Ruoxi said. "Well, the only country that spends tens of billions of dollars a year on ginseng is probably the government. But does their department have such a high budget?"

"Just buy some and you'll have it!" Xu Yue said, "Rich people, pharmaceutical companies, and the like, they won't be short of channels. Besides, their departments can't possibly need that much!"
