Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 127 Outrageous
4 month 5 number.

Sanyuan Agriculture and ADM, one of the world's grain traders, started the second round of business talks.

The venue is still set in Multimedia Conference Room No. 1.

But compared to three days ago, the rearranged venue has changed a lot.

A heavy and solid steel conference table, spacious and comfortable steel-framed leather chairs, blooming Phalaenopsis, gorgeous birds of paradise, and a newly purchased large LED splicing display.

There is also mineral water specially made by Donghu water purification equipment, and high-end colored glass straight-tube cups produced by the glass factory...

At 10 am, both parties entered the venue.

Yu Yang sat on the left side of the conference table with the forensic doctor and the finance department.

Old Mrs. Smith, with two assistants, a translator, artists Phillips and Ron, sat on the right side of the conference table.

at the same time.

The staff of Sanyuan Agriculture placed the prepared three primary colors of ink and a variety of fruit-colored pigments in the middle of the conference table.

This is the basis of the business cooperation between the two parties, so Phillips stood up first, dipped some pure red ink with his ring finger, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

Then he loaded the three primary colors of ink into the printer cartridge brought by ADM, sat in front of the computer, and operated it to print out a few pictures.

After Mrs. Smith and artist Ron finished their viewing, Phillips took out his palette, poured in the fruit-colored paints prepared by Yu Yang, and started painting an oil painting on the spot.

for a long time.

A realistic version of a messy fruit stall appeared before everyone.

Ron stared for a long time and talked in a low voice to old Mrs. Smith.

Phillips exclaimed: "It's great, silky, smooth and delicate beyond imagination."

“And whether it’s viscosity, fineness, color intensity, hue, gloss, matteness, fit, or permeability, all of them are better than existing products on the market.”

“That’s exactly what we wanted.”

He immediately took out a folder and wrote quickly on the paper.

Finally, he handed the paper to Mrs. Smith.

The latter glanced through it briefly and said:

"We need 7 million tons of this ink before July this year, and we will deliver it in batches. The first batch of 150 tons cannot be later than May 20."

"We need 5 tons of this pigment before May this year."

Yu Yang understood that this was not procurement, nor was it about asking for his own quotation.

Instead, they ask how much investment is needed to increase their production capacity to the amount required by the other party.

And the old lady's words also contained some key information.

比如今天4月5号，7月份之前提供150万吨，意味着今年第二季度，4月、5月、6月供应量是150万吨。

It also means that the other party has the final say on how much to supply in the third quarter, fourth quarter, and even next year.

This seems normal.

However, business cooperation is full of traps, especially passive investment without equal strength, which is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. If you are not careful, you may be swallowed up, merged or acquired.

Yu Yang had reason to believe that old Mrs. Smith was still obsessed with Trinity bean seeds because the other party was a global grain trader.

This business meeting.

If the other party has the final say on production capacity, we will ask for an investment of US$10 billion to build a factory.

What if the other party doesn’t want the goods by the third quarter?
With an investment of 10 billion US dollars and a quarterly output of 150 million tons, the number of workers needed is at least 3.

By the third quarter, we had no production tasks, could not accrue profits from sales, and could not pay salaries...

If the other party joins forces with the tiger in Beijing, and then pushes the employees to cause trouble behind the scenes, and then uses overseas news to spread propaganda...

By the fourth quarter, I'm afraid all the fruit plates will be placed in front of Yu Sanyuan's grave.

Not only that, ADM took over the factory, reorganized the shares, and merged Sanyuan Agriculture, which was equivalent to using 10 billion US dollars to destroy the entire Shiliying and get everything.

Capital is so scary.

Fortunately, Yu Sanyuan is not only a reborn person, but also has experience in general contracting and a cheat code.

Yu Yang signaled to the staff to use another computer to play the PPT prepared in advance.

"We'll talk about the production capacity later. Let's talk about the processing first."

"We both know very well that this is a plant-based product, not a chemical product, and certainly not acrylic paint."

"While plant-based inks require plant fruits, plant-based pigments require plant roots and leaves."

“Also, different colors require different plants.”

"Some of these plants grow in the north, some grow in the south, some grow in the mountains or forests, and some need to be specially planted."

“In general, the cost of raw materials is extremely high.”

"Also, different plants have different hardness and require different processing methods."

"Some need to be crushed and then rolled, some need to be slowly ground, some need to be calcined at high temperature and then scraped off layer by layer, and some need to be soaked, precipitated, and fermented..."

"The processes and equipment are different. Especially since the supply volume you requested is very large, we have to customize large-scale processing equipment and even study ways to increase production..."

"Plus we need a series of production workshops, storage warehouses, and resting places..."

"So, the construction of the factory, 10 billion US dollars; processing equipment, 10 billion US dollars; the first batch of raw material procurement, 5 million US dollars; personnel, technology, operations, daily expenses, etc., 5 million US dollars."

"In general, the initial investment cannot be less than 30 billion US dollars, otherwise this business cannot be done."

Sanyuan Agriculture not only prepared the PPT, but also printed relevant details.

Including factory building cost, warehouse cost, cold storage cost and constant temperature warehouse cost.

And many presses, stone mills, filtering devices, deodorizing devices, degumming devices, deacidifying devices, decolorizing devices, testing devices...

There are also several large centrifuges, large accelerators, and large high-temperature steam sterilization systems.

After Mrs. Smith looked at it, she said, "Mr. Yu, what we want is ink and pigment, not high-quality soybean oil."

“Isn’t ink edible oil? If these products do not adopt food grade standards, we will not be able to supply the food additives you need in the future.”

"Let us think about it."

Although Mrs. Smith has no bottom line for the amount of investment she demands from Sanyuan Agriculture, it does not mean that ADM will not bargain.

In other words, US$30 billion can be given, but ADM also has conditions.

For example, some management, some financial staff, some purchasing staff, and even some technical staff are sent by ADM.

However, the specific division of duties still needs to be discussed slowly based on the factory construction details provided by Sanyuan Agriculture.

Therefore, the two sides agreed to hold the third round of business talks a week later.

This is normal for Yu Yang.

In another time and space, when a company undertakes a project, it sometimes has to negotiate more than ten times, or even thirty or forty times, before it can get a project done.

Besides, the longer the cooperation is delayed, the more beneficial it will be to our company.

Because from the outside world's perspective, what ADM was talking about with its own company was Sany soybean seeds.

ADM has taken the lead, and the other three BCDs among the four major grain traders, considering that "everyone is in the same group", will most likely choose to wait and see.

That’s why ADM came but BCD didn’t.

……

After the business talks were suspended.

When Mrs. Smith returned to the farmyard, the assistant who stayed behind quickly handed her a laptop.

The screen displayed an email from the ADM manager.

The content is nothing more than that radar waves can indeed affect the growth of plants, and certain frequency bands can indeed play a positive role in plant growth.

After a day of research, researchers also observed that the effect of music sound waves on the cell molecules in plants, or resonance, can speed up the metabolism of plants and accelerate their growth.

But the requirements are extremely high, and only specific music that suits the appetite of plants will have a positive effect.

Noisy, harsh, and DJ dance music will only disrupt the plant's endocrine system and have many unfavorable effects on growth.

After reading the email, Mrs. Smith transferred the US$2 million research fund that was planned last night.

Since it is useful, it is worth studying.

Especially the Sanyi bean seeds, it is very likely that this is how they came about. Then he signaled to his assistant, "Collect a few sets of the music played by Sanyuan Agriculture and send them back to the headquarters."

"Ok."

At this time.

The intelligence personnel sent another investigation report.

In the video, the mountains are green and the waters are clear, and the terrain is vast, it doesn't seem to be in Shiliying.

But there is a railway track next to it that is exactly the same as the track inside the Shiliying factory, and there is also a completed railway bridge in the distance.

The train that whizzed past happened to be the Harmony Express.

As the video plays, a huge farm appears in front.

Although the entire facility has not yet been completed, many cattle have already been raised at the factory gate near the tracks.

There is an open space among them, which looks like a breeding area.

There are three cows inside.

He became a lump of fat.

One head was reduced to a skeleton.

A head that looks like a bodybuilder...

On top of that, the keepers are playing music to the cattle.

Judging from the tone, it sounds like black rap.

Old Mrs. Smith seriously suspected that Sanyuan Agriculture was playing herself.

However, the intelligence personnel contacted said that Sanyuan Agriculture started this research years ago.

And invested 5.6 million blue giant banknotes to build a cattle breeding base for heads.

There is also a pig breeding base with 10,000 pigs.

“Do pigs listen to music?”

"Ma'am, I don't listen to music, but they laid floor heating for the pigs, installed air conditioning, and even got cable TV, which plays cartoons every day."

"..."

Mrs. Smith remained silent for a long time and did not allocate any more funds for research.

Instead, he signaled to his assistant, "We are here, and Yu Sanyuan is busy with this and that all day, and hasn't entertained us properly. Tell him that I want to eat his beef, no, steak."

"Good lady."

……

the other side.

Thai City Compound.

After Mr. Dong came back, he immediately found the city manager.

No matter how big their differences are, they are of one mind when it comes to developing Tai City.

Now that Dongshan Prefecture may have to move to Shiliying, we must discuss it carefully.

When the city manager heard about this, he immediately contacted his old leader to get information.

As it turned out, Deputy Director Liu of the Dongshan People's Congress had already begun applying to higher authorities.

The general meaning is: Shiliyingying is located in a remote area, and it is extremely difficult for it to have the opportunity for development now. In order to preserve the current industry and seek sustainable development, Dongshan Compound believes that it is best to be assigned to Changqing and listed as a provincially-administered special development zone.

Dongshan People's Congress is equivalent to Dongshan Compound. Its director is Dongshan Chief Steward and the deputy director is Lao Liu.

When Lao Liu submitted his application, the chief steward of Dongshan would definitely review it and even sign it.

In other words, if it is any later, Shiliying may really no longer belong to Tai City.

Old Dong was so angry that he kicked over the city manager's coffee table.

"Grass!"

"Don't worry, we'll think of a solution."

The city manager also put a lot of effort into the Shiliying project.

He even used his family connections to get the Guangdong Development Bank to provide Sanyuan Agriculture with an interest-free loan across the region and set up a special fund account.

Now the track inside the factory crosses the Xiaoqing River and is about to reach the Tianwai Bridge. Many investments of Sanyuan Agriculture have also been approved and the situation is very good. Recently, it has also received investment from the world grain trader ADM, which is said to be at least US$10 billion.

Just when I was about to achieve great results, someone almost took advantage of me...

Who can not be angry?

The city manager almost said 'kill him', then took a deep breath and asked, "What did Yu Yang say?"

"He proposed that the municipal compound be moved to Shiliying, and that Municipal W remain in Tai City."

"no!"

After the city manager refused, he explained: "It's okay to separate the family, but how can we move the city compound to the township?"

"If we don't move over there, we won't be able to defend it."

"Think of a way."

"The higher-ups sent us circulars, and we can only watch and listen. What can we do?"

The city manager was dissatisfied with the boss's tone, but he still endured it and looked at the administrative planning map.

for a long time.

"The track inside the Sanyuan Agriculture factory has been built to Tianwai Bridge, which means that the Sanyuan Agriculture factory has already arrived in Tai City."

Old Dong was slightly stunned and also looked at the administrative planning map.

He clapped his hands immediately, "Yes, after Shiliying was corporatized, it became a factory area, no longer a township, including Hangai Township, Jiuxian Township, and the villages on both sides of the factory track. Can't we just put it under the management of Tai City?"

The city manager drew a circle on the map with a pencil. "It's from east to west, hundreds of miles long. How do you define it?"

"The street office."

"In our country, is there such a long street office?"

"What do you care about? This is called a feature!"

Old Dong stared at the map, drew a circle in the Dongyue Scenic Area, and connected to the Tianwai Bridge. "Yu Yang wants this place, and he has said it more than once."

"Sanyuan Construction Group undertook the Liangshan Water Margin project. I heard that Jishui City also gave the project of rebuilding Taibai Tower and building Li Bai's former residence to Jishui Sanyuan Construction Group."

"Then we can't hide it. Why don't we hand over the development of Dongyue Scenic Area to Tai City Sanyuan Construction Group."

"can."

"Yu Yang has many projects, each of which requires billions of dollars of investment, but he only has about 800 billion now. Moreover, this billion is not used for construction, but reserved for purchasing million mu of soybeans in Jishui City. I don't know how he will make ends meet."

"I will think of a solution after Sanyuan Agriculture and ADM reach a cooperation agreement."

"Then it should be okay for the municipal compound to move to the Shiliying Subdistrict Office, right?"

"You really want to leave?"

"It's not that I want to leave. It's Yu Yang who wants the land of the city compound. He plans to build a logistics distribution center to handle the flow of goods between Shiliying and the outside world, as well as ADM's export products."

"If you had told me earlier, I would have moved out a long time ago."

"I've never seen you so positive before."

"If you don't work harder, all the results will go to others."

"Do you understand me now?"

"..."

The city manager was silent for a moment, "By the way, where is City W moving to?"

"Up the mountain."

"Ok?"

"Tianwai Bridge is going to build a road up the mountain. The scenery along the way is beautiful and the surrounding area is relatively quiet. In particular, there is a Nantianmen donated by Sanyuan Agriculture at the entrance, which is very suitable for the W compound of the city."

"Alright."
