The dishes were served one after another.

Following the Chinese dining rules, several people ate and chatted together.

"Ms. Shu, you are from Hong Kong, why did you end up in Binjiang?" Su Yunjie asked while eating snails.

You can see Russians in Binjiang, but it is very rare to see Hong Kong people.

Even after Hong Kong's return to China, few Hong Kong people went to Binjiang.

Shu Wen smiled and said, "My family is in the grain business. The mainland is currently undergoing reforms, and trade with Hong Kong has become more frequent."

"The north is the granary of the mainland, and the quality of its grain is also very good. The family is also planning to investigate in Binjiang to see if it is possible to import high-quality grain from the north to Hong Kong."

Most of the Su family’s food is imported from countries in Southeast Asia.

Although it is relatively convenient in terms of transportation, the quality and taste of the food are much worse than some varieties in the mainland.

There is naturally nothing in the low-end market, but in Hong Kong's high-end market, there are fewer choices.

In order to consolidate their position in the grain industry, the Shu family has always wanted to enrich their high-quality grain products and expand new channels.

This mainland reform has given the Shu family some opportunities.

Turn your attention to the fertile black soil in the north.

"Then you have found the right place. Our rice and wheat in Binjiang are definitely the best." Su Yunjie said proudly.

Lu Ye asked, "How is it going? Have you got any results from your investigation?"

Shu Wen shook her head. "We've sampled grain from some places, and some of it is indeed of very good quality, fully meeting our requirements. However, exporting it for trade is quite difficult."

"Although agricultural policies there are being reformed, the extent of the reforms is still too small. Farmers still have to pay grain taxes and reserve grain for their crops, and the amount of grain they can control is very limited."

"The grain at the granary is still under unified purchase and sale, and the policy hasn't changed much."

"Our investigation also found that local farmers have the habit of hoarding grain, which is not conducive to our purchasing high-quality grain."

"I previously proposed investing in Binjiang and co-founding a grain processing company with the local grain bureau to refine high-quality grain, primarily for export. However, before I could even negotiate with the local authorities, I... I left Binjiang, so the matter was shelved."

Later on, Shu Wen simply passed over the matter between her and Song Yaozu.

It turned out to be the case.

Lu Ye thought about it secretly.

The current planting technology in the mainland is still relatively backward, and is still at a stage where it relies mainly on manpower and depends on the weather.

Without chemical fertilizers, soil improvement can only be done through the most traditional methods of burning straw and vomiting manure, which has very limited effects.

The ability to grow high-quality grain today is also due to the natural advantages of the black soil here and the uniqueness of some varieties, but it is difficult to make up for the defect of low yield.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye subconsciously pursed his lips.

My mind couldn't help but start thinking of solutions.

Although the limitations are great, the business opportunities contained here are also huge.

What are the opportunities?

Opportunity is to solve problems that others think are difficult to solve and gain huge benefits from them.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye suddenly raised his head.

"Actually, it's not impossible."

"What?" Shu Wen looked at Lu Ye blankly.

"I say, if you want to import high-quality grain from the north on a long-term basis, there are ways." Lu Ye raised his voice a little.

"Do you have an idea? Tell me about it."

Upon hearing this, Shu Wen put down the knife and fork in her hand, looked at Lu Ye, and listened attentively.

Although Su Yun'e and Zhao Xiaolong didn't quite understand what was going on, they stopped eating and looked at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye organized his words in his mind, then said softly, "The mainland's open policy emphasizes win-win results. You can completely change your thinking."

"How to change?"

“Complementary.”

Lu Ye continued, "You want high-quality food, while farmers need more advanced planting techniques and more advanced tools."

"My suggestion is that you could find a local company to serve as a partner and intermediary, and establish a joint venture. This way, you can legally operate a business in mainland China. You can then collaborate with some farmers to establish targeted experimental plots, providing them with advanced planting techniques from Hong Kong, such as fertilizers, mechanized equipment, and other technical support, to increase their yields."

"We will then select some high-quality land to establish pollution-free, green organic fields, provide high-quality seeds, and plant green organic crops."

"This way, farmers can increase their yields, earn higher incomes, and pay their due grain taxes. The joint venture can also export high-quality grain of varying grades, and the local area can also benefit economically."

"If Hong Kong could provide some convenience in terms of fund settlement, using foreign exchange, then the local government would be even more supportive."

Lu Ye's words made Shu Wen fall into deep thought.

It has to be said that Lu Ye's words opened up a new idea for her.

Before this, she only thought about how to collect grain and how to export it smoothly.

However, Lu Ye's approach fully takes into account the current agricultural development and the interests of the farmers themselves.

This part was also integrated into it.

If it can be realized, it will indeed be a good way for all parties to win.

"What you said has given me great inspiration. I need to think about it carefully."

Shu Wen didn't comment on the merits of Lu Ye's method. Instead, she suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you know much about agriculture in the interior? Oh, and I haven't asked you yet, what kind of business do you do?"

"We will do whatever business can make money."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the general manager of Zhongcheng Commerce. These two are our company's vice president and sales manager."

Lu Ye sprayed his upper lip and the original sales station instantly turned into a company. Zhao Xiaolong transformed himself from a cigarette dealer to the deputy general manager, and Su Yunjie also turned from a sales clerk to a sales manager.

Both of them looked at Lu Ye in astonishment, but no one spoke.

"Waiter, you can remove the appetizers and go straight to the main course."

Lu Ye, who had just finished bragging, waved to the waiter not far away without blushing or beating his heart.

"Ok sir."

Lu Ye withdrew his hand and smiled at Zhao Xiaolong and Su Yunjie.
