The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Previously, Hong Kong City produced 30 packs of instant noodles and 30 pieces of bread every day, totaling 60 pieces of bread, using 50 tons of flour.

The recipe of the flour cake is mixed with 5% flour produced in the small world.

Small World needs to supply 2.5 tons of flour every day, which is 4 tons of wheat.

Fortunately, wheat does not take up much space, 1 cubic meter is about 0.75 tons.

4 tons a day, 120 tons of wheat a month is only 90 cubic meters.

People in the port city used to mainly eat rice, but now they are consuming more and more wheat. A few decades later, the average per capita daily consumption is less than 20 taels of rice.

Compared with the hundreds of thousands of tons of grain imported by the port city every month, if the moisture content is reduced by 1%, the error will be more than 1 tons, and 120 tons of extra wheat will be produced out of thin air without any ripples.

The key is to give enough benefits.

Li Ming not only paid taxes according to regulations but also paid benefits on time. He actually bought some wheat and replaced it with wheat produced in the small world, which was perfect.

Supplying wheat to the port city is also a small factor in his constant need to take care of his small world.

120 tons per month, 1440 tons per year, and 1000 acres of land to produce 3000 kilograms per mu.

He has planted tens of thousands of acres of wheat in different growth stages in the northern grain area within 1 to 10 kilometers of the small world.

There is no need for him to specifically ripen it, and wheat can be continuously provided.

Li Ming earns tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars every month from selling wheat to his own factory.

As I just said, this is just a small factor. He is mainly busy with sand transformation in the 10-100 kilometers area.

Previously, reserved ponds and ditches were used to irrigate water from time to time, and then the sandy land was improved by relying on the natural growth of grass seeds.

The large pile of silt sand and gravel he had recently collected from the sea had been processed and improved, except for a small portion that was retained to improve the soil in the wheat growing area.

绝大多数都被他铺在了东边10-100千米区域，已经有50%的地方覆盖了一层2米厚的海底改良土，加上之前已有3米厚的砂石。

Except for hills, ponds, and ditches, the thickness of this one-eighth part is generally up to 8 meters.

The renovation is progressing gratifyingly.

Of course, the other 8/7 of the total area currently only has sand, and a large amount of soil and stones are needed.

Li Ming still has a lot of work to do.

It was a pity that he had dug up all the seabed on the side of the Pearl River estuary near the port city. It was difficult for him to sail to the side near the mainland, lest people misunderstand that he was engaging in smuggling.

For a while I couldn't find enough soil.

He is in no hurry.

After placing the improved seabed soil, Li Ming turned his attention to soybean breeding experiments.

The growing energy he recently harvested from the sea was not wasted.

A lot of energy has been devoted to soybean breeding, and the yield has already reached 400 kilograms per mu.

He hasn't tried planting it yet because he is still researching the insect-resistant traits of soybeans.

He obtained some bean hornworm eggs, and the temperature in the small world increased so that the eggs would hatch and grow into adults, and then the bean hornworms would eat the leaves of new varieties of soybeans.

One by one, he wanted to try out a new high-yield soybean variety that would cause symptoms or even death when bean hornworms eat the leaves.

It's a pity that I haven't tried it yet.

Li Ming has a new plan to purchase some machinery, equipment and chemical reagents from the port city.

Use physical methods of x-rays (gamma rays were only available in the 70s), chemical methods of colchicine, alkylating agents, etc. for mutation breeding to increase the mutation speed of soybeans.

This method of mutation breeding has a flaw, that is, the direction and characteristics of the mutations are unpredictable, and it will produce a lot of mutations that are not beneficial.

It takes a long time to identify and screen useful mutants.

Decades later, for those breeding companies, this efficiency is really low, far less efficient than gene editing.

Li Ming didn't care, as long as the mutation could be generated quickly, he could use growth energy to promote the new variety and immediately determine the yield and traits of the new variety.

Before, there were no transfer orders in the mainland, and there was no place to buy machinery, equipment and chemical reagents.

When he arrived in Hong Kong City, he was only busy with various affairs of Xingchen Company and did not think of these technologies for a while.

He didn't discuss breeding with anyone. Neither Lou Xiao'e nor Qin Huairu knew that he had the ability to quickly produce plants.

As a result, no one reminded him, and he was stuck in his own misunderstanding and never got out of it.

Yesterday, when the Xiangyanghua brigade was inoculating mushroom bags, ultraviolet lamps were used in the inoculation box. He told Captain Gao and others that they should not be exposed to ultraviolet light for a long time.

Ultraviolet light (UV) emitted by ultraviolet lamps can irradiate some pollen grains and induce genetic mutations.

Only then did he remember that physical and chemical methods could be used to increase the mutation speed of plant seeds.

With the addition of these technologies, he can cultivate new high-yielding varieties not only a thousand times faster, but at least ten times or dozens of times faster.

He can cultivate all kinds of weird things in the future.

Also in the morning.

Harbor City.

Federal Building, Central.

Mars Trading welcomes the March car prize winner.

Dressed appropriately, it can still be seen that the family situation of the lottery winner is relatively average.

Both the Lou Xiaoe siblings think this is a good thing. It not only helps a family in need, but also allows the company to better publicize.

Otherwise, rumors about informal appointments and insider information may spread everywhere, which will seriously affect the company's reputation.

We can’t blame the general public for being suspicious, because people’s hearts are sinister, and people’s self-preservation mentality will make others think worse first.

Especially when a person has been in a bad social and interpersonal environment for a long time and has a long-term vicious life experience, he will tend to speculate or question others in the worst possible situation.

The people of Magnesia know this very well.

From 1950 to 1970, Magnesium conducted a total of 293 open-air tests of biological agents.

These experiments were conducted without the knowledge of the citizens.

For example, in 65, researchers from the Magnesium Army secretly released a strain of Bacillus at the Washington National Airport and bus terminal to simulate a biochemical attack. Infected passengers spread the bacteria to seven states.

In 66, researchers from the Magnesium Army deliberately dropped lightbulbs filled with bacteria onto the tracks of a midtown Manhattan subway station in New York City, spreading a variant of Bacillus vitiligo in the subway station, infecting thousands of commuters during rush hour. .

The Magnesium Army concluded from experiments that similar covert attacks with disease-causing pathogens during rush hour could infect many people and subsequently make them sick or die.

There are also all kinds of experiments that dehumanize people, which can be endless for three days and three nights.

The science fiction movies of Magnesia are so great. It’s not that people from other countries and regions have poor imagination, but mainly because their life experience is not as good as that of Magnesium people.

People who have never been in contact with it can hardly imagine such a wicked thing.

Although Hong Kong City does not have as bad a social environment as Magnesia.

Gangs are rampant, all kinds of relationship struggles happen anytime and anywhere, and the interpersonal environment is not that good. Many people would naturally think that Mars Trading Company’s lottery might also rely on ‘relationships’.

There are also people who make trouble out of nothing and make slanderous remarks out of spite for others, which will amplify the effect of rumors.

The poor people have cars from the Mars trade in their homes.

The vast majority of people will not think about the inside story first, but will discuss which of the three flavors of mushroom braised chicken, pork bone soup, and newly added shrimp and fish plate is likely to be the best seller in April.

Braised beef ranked first in March, so it withdrew from the lottery. Otherwise, in April, consumers would focus on buying braised beef flavored instant noodles without any topical gimmicks.

The winner cooperated with Mars Trading Company to take some photos and left.

Lou Xiaoe relaxed as if she had completed a difficult task.

"Mr. Tang, please send the prepared press release to those reporters."

Tang Hongde responded with a smile: "Okay. Chairman. I will send it to them right away."

"The car was discounted at the original price of HK$12790. When word spreads about this, no one will be allowed to say that our company operates in an open and honest manner!"

"I've already given it, so there's no point in fussing over it anymore." Lou Xiao'e thought it was nothing and walked to the chairman's office with a smile.

"If you work, you will earn money for several months." My uncle also went to the office to mix two cups of tea.

Sitting on the sofa, my uncle asked casually: "How are the sales of the three new models this week?"

The sales volume was not ideal, and Lou Xiaoe frowned slightly.

"The sales volume of fresh shrimps and fish plates ranks first, with 8 and 40 bags shipped. Mushroom stewed chicken and pork bone soup only have more than 3 bags. Braised beef only has more than 2 bags."

The eldest uncle said in surprise: "There are only three days left this week, and the sales volume is only so small!"

Lou Xiao'e has already analyzed the reason with people from Mars Trading, "It was just launched in March. No matter what kind of family, they will buy some to give their children a fresh taste."

"And many people probably over-purchased at the end of March, and now they haven't finished all the instant noodles at home."

"It is estimated that the market will not be popular until the end of April when it is determined which model sells more."

The eldest uncle suddenly said: "This lottery also has drawbacks!"

"Yes. Xiao Ming said it. It's not suitable to make changes in April. Let's do this first. The activity plan for May needs to be changed."

Without waiting to ask, Lou Xiao'e continued: "In May, all instant noodles will be treated equally. All flavors of instant noodles will be included in the lottery, and the prizes will be changed to first, second, and third place."

"One first prize winner will be awarded a house of 1-50 square meters. Five second prize winners will be awarded a car worth 60 yuan. Ten third prize winners will be awarded a TV set worth 5 yuan."

"Stop the activities later to avoid getting into trouble."

There is only one Jockey Club for formal gambling in Hong Kong City, and all others are illegal.

All the money my uncle earns now is being used to pay off the debts he borrowed when he started the company, which looks very glamorous.

My uncle, who had little money on hand, exclaimed: "Is this reward too heavy?"

Lou Xiao'e explained a little more, "It won't work if I don't reward him heavily!"

"We still have one production line that has not yet been activated. The three noodle production lines that have been activated can produce 1 noodle cakes per day. If the six instant noodle production lines are operated at full capacity, the production capacity will be 3 packs of instant noodles per day."

"The markets in Hong Kong and Macao cannot absorb so much instant noodles."

"We haven't negotiated the overseas market yet. If things don't go smoothly, there will be a lot of inventory backlog."

"The grand prize in May is not only to give back to customers, but also to stimulate market demand and prevent inventory backlog."

"We have already negotiated other markets in June and July, and we will probably have to increase production capacity by then."

The eldest uncle nodded repeatedly and said: "Step by step, the plan is quite thorough."

"It's a pity that Xiao Ming doesn't do business full-time, otherwise he would be the richest man in Hong Kong City."

Lou Xiao'e snorted, "Couldn't it be me who thought of it!"

The eldest uncle sneered: "It's just the little ink in your belly. Don't I know, brother? You're such a fool!"

"But fools are lucky enough to find a good husband."

Lou Xiao'e first gave her eldest brother a dissatisfied look. Later, when the eldest brother praised Li Ming, she felt comfortable and decided to let him go.

"That's right. Research on curry-flavored instant noodles, but you haven't found anyone to try it out yet."

There are many people in Nanyang who eat curry. Li Ming doesn't like it, and the mainland can't research the authentic curry flavor, so he can only find someone in Hong Kong.

The eldest uncle complained: "Not many people in Hong Kong City like to eat that stuff now."

"Tang Hongde and Huang Fuyi said it was difficult to find them."

"I suggest simply arranging tastings of similar flavors to Singapore, where there is a larger audience."

Lou Xiao'e pondered: "Then we need to go to Singapore in advance to establish a branch."

"I originally wanted to deal with the market access issue on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait this month, and we might be able to enter the market on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait in the summer."

Except for free trade ports such as Hong Kong City, Macao City, and Singapore, most countries have set up many barriers to the import and export of food.

Fortunately, at this time, money can be used to smoothen relationships and solve market access problems.

My uncle suggested: "Xinjia Singapore has a good relationship with the east coast of the Taiwan Strait."

"In fact, we can set up a branch in Singapore first, and then use the branch in Singapore to enter the market on the east coast of the Taiwan Straits."

Lou Xiao'e thought it was a feasible solution, "I'll ask Xiao Ming for his opinion first."

The eldest uncle said quite confidently: "I have done some research on the import and export business. I can't be wrong."

Lou Xiao'e said the same: "Yes. If Xiao Ming doesn't object, we will first establish a Xinjia Singapore branch to comprehensively promote the research and development of Nanyang products."

"The shipping industry is really booming. If you buy a ship and lease it to others, you can make a profit of at least 10 points."

My uncle smiled and said, "Then I need to get a loan from the bank to buy more boats. Without the strong support of the bank, it is impossible to make this money."

Lou Xiao'e said disapprovingly: "Let's set up our own bank, and we can make better use of funds."

The eldest uncle looked at Lou Xiao'e with wide eyes, as if he didn't recognize her, "When did you become so brave? I now suspect that someone has impersonated you."

"Go, go, go." Lou Xiao'e laughed and scolded, "There are over 100 banks in Hong Kong. Opening a bank is not a big deal. I can open a small bank."

The eldest uncle advised: "Anyone can open a company. Banks really need professionals to be able to operate. There are many ways to do it."

Lou Xiaoe is not joking, "I'm not talking about setting up a new bank. We can acquire an existing bank."

When she and Li Ming were chatting, they talked about Nan Chao Moss and the Japanese market.

At this time, the chaebol enterprises of the Southern Dynasties were carving up the benefits of privatization of state-owned enterprises, expanding rapidly, and also obtained many long-term preferential loans from banks.

Even if they do not rely on real estate-related inside information and take advantage of rising land prices to make huge profits, the chaebol companies of the Southern Dynasty can easily defeat other companies by relying solely on their financial advantages.

Japan's chaebol has a longer history. Although it was forcibly disbanded by the Magnesium Kingdom, it is actually maintained as an ally with strong support from the financial industry.

Star Company pales in comparison. (End of chapter)
