Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 107 Sixth Uncle Car Accident
If others were to spend all their money to invest, Yu Yang would definitely accept it.

But he did not recommend that Mr. Gu raise cattle.

First, the breeding cycle of cattle is as long as two years, compared to pigs which can be slaughtered in seven or eight months, which means the cost is doubled.

Second, cows are herbivores and they chew grass, but their own straw has to be crushed and put into the farmland to restore its fertility. This will also be done on the farmland in Jishui City. So where can we buy grass then?
Third, the current retail price of beef, taking western Shandong as an example, is at most 8 yuan per pound, which is far lower than the cost of raising cattle.

The main reason is that farmers raise oxen for plowing, and they usually treasure them very much. Unless the oxen are old and can no longer plow the fields, they will be sold to butchers reluctantly. However, the meat of old oxen is relatively tough and naturally cannot be sold at a good price.

Then there is.

Farmers are used to living a hard life and usually can’t bear to eat meat. When they buy meat occasionally, most of them like to choose fatter meat because it can be used to make oil, which makes the dishes more delicious.

The same applies to steamed bun shops and rouzhuangmomo stalls.

Who would buy dry beef?

and so.

Herbivorous animals, breeding cycles, high costs, and market demand mean that raising cattle is doomed to have no future and no money to be made.

Yu Yang carefully analyzed it from many aspects.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu became even more enthusiastic.

"Boss Yu, you can consider the problem from my perspective, which means you really want me to invest in Shiliying. In this case, I have to give it a try. Regardless of profit or loss, I can just consider it as solving the employment problem for Shiliying. Besides, I can get at least 10 billion funds by selling the company's shares. It's just a cattle farm, so I can afford the loss."

"Boss Gu..."

Yu Yang was going to persuade him again, but when he called out the other person's surname, two words suddenly popped up in his mind.

Grain fed!

Yes, beef cattle can actually be fed grains.

And grain-fed beef is slightly higher in the North American beef grade classification.

the most important is.

Grass-fed beef is lean and tender, low in fat, and more tough and chewy.

Grain-fed beef is juicy, tender and easy to chew, and its marbled texture is very even, making the food taste better and more fragrant.

Furthermore, grass-fed beef cattle are exposed to the elements and are more susceptible to parasites or other pathogens.

Grain-fed beef cattle are supervised throughout the entire process from weaning to marketing and slaughter, with regular cleaning, quarantine and disinfection, making the quality of beef safer.

Of course, this is the marketing pitch for grain-fed beef to take over from grass-fed beef.

But it does not prevent us from learning from it and promoting grain-fed beef.

After all, our family is engaged in farming, so there will be no shortage of grain in the future.

In this way, the cost of breeding is reduced, and the meat quality suits the farmers' appetite. If it is sold at a slightly higher price, some people should be willing to accept it.

Therefore, investing in beef cattle breeding can make it bigger and stronger.

Coincidentally, Mr. Gu’s real name is Gu Changqing. He is the fourth child in the family and his nickname is Gu Si.

"Boss Gu, I find that you and beef cattle are indeed destined to be together."

"Oh?"

“Although we can’t raise cattle with grass, have you ever heard of grain-fed brisket or grain-fed marbled beef?”

"I've heard of it...eh? Yeah, grain-fed beef."

Mr. Gu has a large family and a large business, so he must know about Gu Feeding. He immediately reacted when he heard it, "Boss Yu, I want to raise 10 beef cattle!"

"You should sell your company shares first. Don't worry, I'm here to help you with mechanized farming."

"Too!"

……

Mr. Gu returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang on the spot.

Yu Yang stood on the provincial road in Hangai Township and thought again about grain-fed beef cattle breeding.

Soybeans→oil pressing→soybean meal→pig and cattle farming.

Among them, cowhide and cow tendon can be used as leather materials.

Cow dung can be made into fertilizer and used for growing vegetables.

In addition, there are bezoar, ox horn, ox bone, and butter...

Yu Yang counted on his fingers and figured that if the expansion continued like this, his industrial park would soon become an industrial chain.

And has unparalleled competitiveness.

By then, once a monopoly is formed, will the superiors allow them to continue?

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Let the boss take care of it for now."

After thinking it over, Yu Yang simply picked up the telescope and continued to look into the distance.

On the endless fields, ten giant combined seeders manufactured by Shantui Group of Jishui City roared forward side by side.

The chimneys that rise into the sky spew out clouds of smoke, which, blown by the whistling north wind, look like strips of black silk.

Behind the combine seeder, twenty-five tractors were carrying ground film, laying it down and following closely.

There were also trailers parked at the edge of the field, unloading bags of fertilizers and bags of seeds...

The fourth brother in charge of the project, farmer Zheng Wang, reported:
"The wild soybean seeds provided by the seed station have an average yield of 450 kilograms per mu."

"We used the experimental field to plant 3000 mu, and half of them achieved a 20% increase in yield, bringing the yield per mu to 540 kilograms."

"The soybeans that did not increase production were used for oil extraction, and the soybeans that increased production by 20% were classified as Sany soybeans, about 81 kilograms, which can be planted on 10 mu of arable land."

After planting crops in the experimental field, there is a chance that the yield will increase by 5%~30%.

This probability is measured in mu, and the increased yield is not extra.

For example, the experimental field No. 001, with an area of ​​one acre, did not increase production, which means that there was no change in the soybeans grown.

For example, the experimental field No. 003 has a 20% increase in yield per acre, which means that the soybeans grown there have longer pods and fuller grains, and each grain is 001% heavier than the soybeans grown in the experimental field No. 20.

This is why Yu Yang believes that experimental fields can be used to cultivate bean seeds.

Imagine that if the soybeans with a 20% increase in yield are planted again in the experimental field, there is still a probability of a 5% to 30% increase in yield. Wouldn’t the beans be bigger?

If this happens repeatedly, the output will double in one year, exceed 2000 kilograms in two years, and reach kilograms per mu in three years.

what is this?
This is technology.

This is our greatest reliance against the world's grain traders.

Farmer Zheng Wang continued: "We have currently contracted 30 mu of arable land. For the remaining 20 mu, we have to wait until the 3000 mu experimental field is harvested again next month before we can replant 10 mu."

"And so on, in the third month, another 10 acres will be replanted."

"By mid-August, we will probably be able to get 8 million kilograms of Sany soybeans."

“Half of it is used for oil extraction, and the other half is supplied to farmers in Jishui City, where 753 million mu of arable land is cultivated.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang interrupted and said, "Mid-August? That's too late. It would be best if we could supply Sany bean seeds to Jishui City in mid-June."

"In this case, we need more manpower to build more experimental fields, otherwise the bean seed production will not keep up."

Yu Yang understood and wanted to send out more troops.

Fortunately, Shiliying has been in chaos again recently.

There are middle and high school students applying for mall service positions.

There are college students applying for sales positions in electronic appliances in a shopping mall.

There are drivers, cooks, doctors, and laborers in various fields who come here looking for work.

There were also people from cement factories, lime factories, and steel bar factories transporting goods...

Having 3000 new strong men in the family is not at all eye-catching.

Yuyang immediately asked Shiliying, Hangai Township, and Jiuxian Township to vacate 1000 houses each.

This is not surprising, as there are few hotels in this remote area.

Migrant workers basically stay in farmers' homes and pay monthly fees.

The family has rented 3000 houses from three towns.

At that time, there is no need to lay a kang, just replace the farmer's courtyard wall with a 'courtyard wall' to complete the occupation and increase the population limit.

Unfortunately, the number of houses must exceed that of farmers in order to increase the population limit.

At present, only 6000 houses have been built by the family, but the number of farmers is about to exceed .

At present, it seems that we can’t catch up in a short period of time.

Yu Yang handed the task of occupying 3000 houses to his second brother Sun Li.

He also asked his third brother Zhou Wu, who was in charge of the experimental field, to prepare to expand production.

Then he said goodbye to his fourth brother Zheng Wang, who was in charge of the 30-acre soybean project, and prepared to take a look at the site selection of Sanyuan Construction Group.

Unexpectedly, the spearman in charge of Uncle Six's safety called and said that Uncle Six had been in a car accident.

……

Thai Central Hospital.

Yu Yang came to the operating room - observation department.

Two spearmen stood at the door, and three stood by the window in the ward.

Of course, none of them carried spears, but only steel chisels.

The spearman leading the team stepped forward and said, "Fortunately, the car was fine. It was only his left arm and two left ribs that were broken. The surgery has been completed. The only thing left is a slight concussion. The doctor said that he needs to be observed for a while."

"What car hit it?"

"It was a Volvo. As soon as we got in the car, the other party rushed over from the sidewalk and hit the left rear door. The other driver died on the spot."

"Accident?" "The city police are investigating."

Yu Yang walked into the observation department and found that his sixth uncle had already woken up.

"Sanyuan, don't let your aunt know, or she'll cry and roll on the ground again."

"Yes, is there anything special happening in the company recently?"

"Everything is normal. Vegetables, fruits, and vegetables are planted and sold in rounds. There are vegetable vendors, hot pot projects, semi-finished vegetable packages, and the Thai market's vegetable basket plan. The supply is almost in short supply. As for the rest..."

Uncle Six recalled carefully, "After the New Year, the Vegetable Vendors Association requested to increase the number of public rental housing. I agreed and expanded it by 300 units."

"On the Lantern Festival, fireworks were set off in the village and five plastic greenhouses were burned. Now they have been restored."

"Of the 2 plastic greenhouses planned along the shores of Pingdong Lake a few years ago, 500 have already been put into production, all growing strawberries..."

Yu Yang peeled an orange, "Daily operations can be ignored. Have you ever had any contact with any external companies?"

"Of course there are. For example, there are five companies selling vegetable seeds, including Tianjin Port, Yancheng, Jiangbei, Modu, and Pengcheng. There are also several companies selling soybean seeds and agricultural machinery."

Uncle Six said, taking out a business card holder from his chest with his right hand, "They are all here."

Yu Yang took it and looked through it carefully.

Although Uncle Six serves as the chairman of Sanyuan Agriculture, if you ask around, especially when you see the company name, you will know that the real boss of Sanyuan Agriculture is Yu Sanyuan.

Therefore, no one will attack Uncle Six.

Unless the other party understands nothing.

There was nothing noteworthy about the business card in front of him.

They are nothing more than sales managers of some domestic seed agencies, or middlemen who promote seeds.

At this time.

The head of the city police appeared at the door and glanced at the door frame with a curved finger. "Boss Yu, excuse me."

Yu Yang already knew that the other party had thrown himself into the arms of the old boss and became one of his own. "Leader, please come in."

"Is it not delaying your conversation?"

"No, no, please sit down."

The city police chief walked into the ward with a forensic doctor in a white coat.

The forensic doctor observed Uncle Six for a while and then turned to talk to the spearman in charge of security.

The chat included the speed of the car, the direction of travel, whether it turned when it hit...

the end.

The forensic doctor said solemnly: "I can confirm that this was a murder."

He then continued, "After an autopsy, it was determined that the driver of the Volvo had taken too much white powder, which caused him to go crazy and die suddenly after the violent collision. But it is also possible that he hit someone first and then committed suicide by taking poison."

The city police chief said, "I brought you here to examine your injuries, not to be Sherlock Holmes."

"Leader, when I was learning how to treat gunshot wounds in North America, I worshipped a master who complained about murders in North America many times. They were all done by drunks or by people who took drugs and then hit people. A successful murder usually involves hitting someone and then taking drugs, because this has a higher success rate than drinking and then hitting someone, and the chance of survival is lower, so it can be kept secret."

“This is the East!”

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang looked at the forensic doctor.

The man was in his forties, well-mannered, but his eyes were full of curiosity, especially towards him, "Why? What's so interesting about me?"

The forensic doctor wanted to say something, but when he saw the deadpan face of the city police chief, he simply shut up.

Yu Yang smiled slightly, "If you have something to say, just say it. It may help solve the case."

"Boss Yu, why did that group of people kill you during the Dongyue Hospital incident?"

"First Mate Sun's son, Sun Xiang, wants Sanyuan Agriculture. The vegetable merchants in the south also want Sanyuan Agriculture. Maybe the two sides will come together and think that if they can get rid of me, they can solve everything."

"In this incident, a victim was pierced through the heart by a steel rod that went through the gap between his ribs. My initial estimate is that the thrower was at least 25 meters away from the victim, and the throw was from below. You should have been protected by an expert, right?"

Yu Yang glanced at the captain of the spearmen.

The latter reached out to his back with lightning speed and swung the steel chisel towards the window at the other end of the ward.

Without any sound, the steel drill pierced into the concrete and went straight through the partition wall.

The medical examiner, Uncle Six, and the city police chief all gasped.

The former even muttered to himself, "No wonder there is a footprint on the side of the Volvo. It was kicked. Otherwise, the extended Rolls-Royce would definitely have been knocked over. But the force was too great, wasn't it?"

After saying that, he looked at the captain of the spearmen.

The latter shrugged and said, "Nothing special, I went to high school."

"???"

"No, it's just practice that makes it easier."

"..."

However, this only satisfied the forensic curiosity and did not help the case.

The city police chief talked with Uncle Six for a moment, then turned around and looked at Yu Yang.

"Don't worry, I know the importance of this matter. I will mobilize all resources to solve the case as soon as possible."

The forensic doctor shook his head and said, "That Volvo belongs to Dongyue Tourism Service Company, but it was definitely not done by that group of people. The driver is an illegal resident and suddenly appeared in Tai City. It is difficult to investigate. I am afraid this case is unsolved."

The city police chief was very embarrassed and rolled his eyes at him, "Retreat!"

"Yes!"

Yu Yang watched the two people leave, thought for a while, and contacted Liao Pengfei's subordinate, who was once the director of Liao City Investment Promotion Office and is now the manager of Tianwaiqiao Restaurant.

"Bring all the big brothers in Tai City to the cold storage. I want to interrogate them tonight."

"Okay, boss."

Uncle Six said worriedly, "Sanyuan, our family is not what it used to be. You don't need to charge into battle now. It's better to let the dirty work be done by the people below. If you don't trust me, I'll ask your eldest cousin to come over."

"No problem, just chatting."

……

The manager of Tianwaiqiao Restaurant already knew what had happened.

As for the task of catching the 'big brother', thanks to the strong man's ferocity, it was done quite cleanly and efficiently.

Not only were some well-known and influential people arrested, but even a large group of idle thugs from the streets were brought in.

As a result, the cold storage where beef and mutton were stored became heated up because of the large number of people.

8 pm.

Chang Fu and Chang Lu opened the gate of the cold storage.

Yu Yang stepped into the group, looked around at the "big brothers" who were gathering together for warmth, and took out the photo of the driver that he had printed out in the evening, "Has anyone seen him?"

A moment of silence.

Seeing Yu Yang was about to leave, the well-known elder brother suddenly became anxious, "Tell me quickly, who has seen him?"

Suddenly.

A timid voice came from the corner, "I, I should have seen him."

"Hurry up and tell me." The eldest brother urged.

"I stayed up all night at an Internet club last night. I had diarrhea at 4:30 in the morning, so I ran to a dark alley outside to take care of it. He was sleeping in a corner at the time. If it weren't for the flashing lights of cars on the road, I wouldn't have spotted him. I just took a quick glance and felt that his beard was exactly the same as in the photo."

No need for Yu Yang to greet.

The clever restaurant manager had someone bring the speaker out, and then asked him to lead the way. He picked up a photocopy of the driver and went to the corner of the wall last night to look for clues.

After half an hour.

The restaurant manager called.

"Boss, I've asked around. I saw the driver at a newsstand at the intersection. He used a 100-yuan note to buy two bottles of water and a newspaper. The 100-yuan note has been found, but it's hard to find out where to withdraw the money based on the number. I found a few cigarette butts at the scene. They were foreign brands, and he liked to chew on his cigarette holder. Judging from his smoking speed, he must be an old smoker. I'm heading to the train station now, and I've asked someone to go to the bus station."

Another half hour later.

"Boss, I got some information. The Volvo driver came to Tai City in a black van. He had a simple disguise before. The last place he took the van was Dongshan Prefecture."

"Find this first, and then you can summarize the information you have collected and report it to the city police."

"it is good."

The investment promotion team of a prefecture-level city must have strong business capabilities.

Yu Yang was not surprised at all by the restaurant manager's performance.

If the other party cannot find anything, he will instead question Liao Pengfei's leadership ability.

After investigating this step, it is almost certain that this was not an accident.

The question is, who wants to murder Uncle Six?

Or was it that Uncle Six's car accident was just a bait, and the other party was planning to lure me out of Shiliying and kill me?
Yu Yang immediately opened his military coat, took out a telescope from the right hem, and observed the outside through the window of the ward.

really.

On the top of the residential building opposite, there was also a person observing the ward he was in.

When the other party saw this, he was slightly stunned and ducked to hide in the covered area on the edge of the building.

Yu Yang did not let the spearmen go out to capture people, because this could still be a way to lure the enemy out of their hole.

"It seems that the other party's target is me."

Uncle Six: “Who?”

"It's very likely that they are foreigners."
