Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 156 Grabbing
When you harvest crops on someone else's land, you must always say hello to the parents.

Therefore, Yu Yang secretly met with the Jishui governor overnight.

The two sides set out, one from Shiliying and the other from Jishui City, and soon met at the fork in the road at the junction of Jishui Liang County and Jia County.

It was 11 o'clock at night.

There is no moon in the starry sky and no wind in the wilderness.

The two men leaned on the side of the AMG Benz, holding cigarettes in their mouths, and looked at the pitch-black bean field together.

Yu Yang said: "These 800 million mu of soybeans are the only support for Sany soybean oil to gain a foothold in the market.

Now that Sany soybean oil is on the market, if ADM understands Sanyuan Agriculture's strategy and finds out that we are trying to seize a high position in the early stage, they will definitely suppress Sany soybean oil at all costs.

At this time, a commercial war is bound to break out.

What about burning soybeans, what about Sany soybean oil that can cause bugs, stomach cancer, and even death..."

"It's not that serious, is it?"

"It does sound a bit exaggerated, but two years ago, there was also an oral liquid with the word "three" in it that was ruined in the same way. Those crazy media outlets, in order to attract attention, could not be suppressed by the authorities. Even Oriental TV and the Nanhu High Court came out to clarify, but it was of no avail... These are all bloody lessons from the past!"

"I agree with rushing to harvest, but 800 million mu of soybeans involve millions of farmers. If it causes public outrage, we won't be able to suppress it."

"As early as three months ago, Sanyuan Agriculture began to prepare cash and now can take out 43 billion yuan. I plan to arrange personnel to distribute the guarantee fees on the spot in each village."

"You mean, you gathered the villagers together in the name of distributing money, and then rushed to harvest the soybeans in the village. After the villagers received the money, the soybeans in the field were also harvested?"

“It’s the same as demolition.”

"What happens afterwards? After all, there are still about 15 days before the theoretical maturity of Sany soybeans, so we have to find a reason to rush the harvest."

"Jishui, Taishi, Laigangcheng, and Weicheng, all had the meteorological department issue a red alert, saying that there would be heavy winds and rain in the next month.

Then Sanyuan Agriculture donated several sums of money to various cities for flood control, to repair lake embankments, to consolidate the Yellow River, and to connect Beijing and Hangzhou.

At this time, the vegetable vendors would spread some rumors, such as the possibility of a repeat of the 98 flood...

For farmers, this is a shadow, and they are definitely anxious, and they will definitely agree to rush to harvest soybeans."

"???"

"What's wrong? Don't worry, I will discuss with Liao City, Puyang City, and He City, and promise them some benefits so that they can issue similar weather forecasts."

The Jishui chief took a deep puff of cigarette and said, "It will be the biggest loss for Tai City if you don't become the chief of Tai City."

“It’s good now.”

"The question is, how can we explain this to our superiors?"

"It's all Dongshan Weather's fault."

"???"

"Don't worry, after the management of Dongshan Meteorological is dismissed, I will recruit them to Sanyuan Agriculture. After all, we are a large agricultural company, so we must have a meteorological research institute, and all treatment will be preferential."

Upon hearing this, the Jishui chief silently raised his head to look at the starry sky, wondering what he was thinking.

Yu Yang said again: "If you are worried, I will contact Brother Dong and ask him to allow Sanyuan Agriculture's two Y8 transport planes stranded at Yaoqiang Airport to fly to Shiliying to load dry ice and silver iodide for artificial rainfall. We will have a few small-scale rainfalls to let the farmers see if the weather is accurate."

"..."

"no?"

"No, I mean, you're too well prepared, aren't you?"

"I can't help it. I'm facing ADM."

"Can Shiliying take off and land heavy transport aircraft?"

"The road has been repaired. It is 220 meters wide. There is one complete runway on the east side and two complete runways on the west side. The green belt in the middle has been removed. Let alone taking off and landing two planes, even if Beijing Tigers drives the third plane that is about to be delivered here, we can take off at the same time."

"Since we can't stop the car, and you have such a great plan, let's get started!"

……

That night.

Many cities and counties in Central China issued weather alerts at 1 a.m.

It will be windy and rainy in the next month.

At the same time, in a corner of Yaoqiang Airport, two Y8 transport planes were preparing to take off with ground crews busy at work.

after an hour.

Sanyuan Agriculture held a press conference and announced a donation of 5 million blue banknotes to several surrounding cities.

They were used to consolidate the Yellow River, build the Pingdong Lake embankment, and dredge the Grand Canal...

What is not known is that the giant sluice gate between the Yellow River and Xiaoqing River is slowly rising.

The surging water of the Yellow River poured into Pingdong Lake, and the lake level, which had been dropping for half a year, began to rise.

At the same time, the 16 sluice gates around Pingdong Lake also began to lift...

3 points in the early hours.

After connecting to Laigang City, the 200-mile-long Shiliying Street is brightly lit.

Countless flatbed rail cars, loaded with sand, gravel and cement, are running endlessly...

Even the abandoned Laigang Railway was temporarily requisitioned.

4 points in the early hours.

Vegetable vendors carry fruits and vegetables and rush to all directions, following transport vehicles, trains, or driving alone.

……

5 points in the early hours.

Accompanied by repeated weather warnings on the radio.

The night is getting darker and a storm is about to come.

Old man Wei from Huanggai Township, Jia County, Jishui River, sat on the embankment of Zhaowang River, holding a pipe in his mouth and staring at the river.

At three o'clock last night in the morning, Wei Dameng, who was doing odd jobs for Sanyuan Agriculture, called the village store.

He spoke in an anxious tone and told his mother to go to a higher place, preferably Xiaomengshan in the county.

The shop owner was confused and after asking again and again, he learned that the north was fighting a flood.

Soon, the village cadres took the lead.

While discussing how to dig earth to build a dam and how to dig ditches to prevent floods, they also sent people to inquire about the situation in the north.

As the deputy director, Old Man Wei was sent to inspect the dam.

for a long time.

The measuring stick inserted into the river was vaguely buried by one millimeter.

A long time passed.

The measuring tape was buried a full centimeter!

“The water is rising!”

the other side.

Although no news about the flood was heard, Huanggai Township welcomed a number of giant combine harvesters, heavy transport trucks, and a Jinbei Haise.

Immediately afterwards, the loudspeakers in each village sounded again.

“It’s time to harvest soybeans!”

"Sanyuan Agriculture is here to harvest soybeans!"

"Hurry up and go to the village committee to collect the money. First, all the money will be calculated based on the guaranteed yield of 450 kilograms per mu!"

"Don't push, we have them all. Remember to bring the contract for the bean seeds!"

"Those who have received the money, please keep the receipt, otherwise you will not be able to get the Sanyi bean seeds next time."

at this time.

Old Man Wei’s grandson ran back to the village, panting.

“The water is rising!”

"The Zhaowang River is flooding!"

Along with the shouting, the villagers who got up early to go to the market also brought back the news spread by the vegetable vendors.

It's raining heavily in the north, and it's said there will be another flood...

"Hurry up and get the harvesters to the ground!"

"I can't get in. The road is narrow."

"Fill the ditch!"

"What should I do if the water breaks out?"

"Dig it up again, hurry up, everyone lend a hand!"

……

Jishui River, Jinxiang.

Two planes that looked like airliners flew across the sky.

The originally cloudy sky suddenly began to rain heavily.

The garlic sprouts all over the ground became greener under the nourishment of rain.

The farmers who got up early to weed the fields hurried home cursing.

"Damn it, this weather forecast is so inaccurate. Yesterday evening it said it would be cloudy and then sunny today."

"It's not that it's inaccurate, it's that it's too accurate. The radio said this morning that there would be some heavy rain, but I thought it wasn't going to happen to us."

"Hey, didn't you watch the news?"

"I get up and go to work, so I don't have time to watch the news."

"Let's go back and take a look. The north has started to fight against floods."

At this time.

Heavy transport trucks, carrying bags of sand and gravel, rushed towards the Wanfu River in the distance.

"Is it really going to flood? Hey, why are you running so fast? You're already soaked anyway."

"I went to the grocery store and called them. My father-in-law contracted 50 acres of soybeans from them."

"Fuck, my second aunt's family also contracted dozens of acres of soybeans."

……

Hong Kong, ADM Asia Pacific headquarters.

"Madam, Sanyuan Agriculture has started to harvest soybeans."

Mrs. Smith was still asleep when she suddenly received a report from her subordinates.

Including the operation of weather warnings.

He picked up the bedside calendar and looked at it. "It's only been 85 days. Is the first batch of Sany soybeans ripe?"

"According to our research, the pod-filling period of Sany soybeans is 70 to 80 days, after which they begin to age. In other words, the remaining days are for the pods to dry on the plants. Sanyuan Agriculture is harvesting now, and then placing the soybean stems on the farm to dry, which can also complete the threshing."

"The little guy is too alert."

Mrs. Smith sighed, walking into the office in her pajamas.

Then he rummaged through the file cabinet for a while and pulled out several documents. They included the plans to bribe local people to burn soybeans, use the soybean oil factories under his control to buy up Sany soybeans in advance, prevent Sanyuan Agriculture from harvesting soybeans, and instigate villagers in some areas to increase the production of Sany soybeans...

Total funding: 5000 million blue giant banknotes.

Compared with the value of Sany soybeans, this amount of money seems very small.

But in some villages in Jishui, if you give an idle man 2000 yuan, he will buy a few barrels of gasoline and burn all the soybeans in the township.

So 5000 million can do a lot in the East.

"Pity!"

Mrs. Smith, throw the paper into the shredder.

Immediately he took out the plan of Sany Soybean Oil to kill people.

Yu Sanyuan's reaction, especially the operation of the weather warning, forced her to seriously consider the feasibility of this plan.

One is whether it will anger the Eastern superiors.

The second is whether the relevant information will be suppressed by several cities in Central China.

The third is whether Yu Sanyuan will launch a more fierce counterattack against him.

After all, the other party can even provide weather warnings.

If ADM fabricates the Sany soybean oil death incident, Yu Sanyuan will be so angry that he will ask tens of thousands of old men and women from all over the country to surround Golden Dragon Fish, or even kill people in the grain and oil company controlled by ADM. That would be a lot of fun.

"This is pending discussion."

The assistant nodded and reported on other work: "Madam, the high soybean prices have made many countries in Central Asia and Europe very dissatisfied. Many places have given up this year's soybean orders. If the price is not reduced, the advisory group is worried that more orders will be lost."

“How many orders have been lost so far?”

“About one-fifth.”

"We have to wait until Sanyuan Agriculture has harvested all of Sany soybeans before we can lower the price."

……

The southern part of Pingdong County, Wen County of the Jishui River.

The sun is shining and the dust is flying.

20 large combine harvesters, accompanied by 20 heavy-duty transport vehicles, instantly cleared the nearly 300-meter-wide soybean field, and then moved forward...

Yu Yang, wearing flowered shorts, an old man's shirt, and a pair of sunglasses that covered half of his face, stood in the makeshift command post, holding a telescope and looking into the distance.

Behind him stood a dozen local village chiefs of various ages, with bundles of blue Great Man banknotes piled under his feet, and surrounded by more than fifty spearmen wearing military vests and camouflage pants.

"Mr. Yu, the 1.6 mu of soybeans in Xiaowangzhuang have been harvested, and the villagers have received their guaranteed payment. No one is gossiping."

"Mr. Yu, the 3 mu of soybeans in Houyanglou have been harvested, and all the villagers have received their guaranteed payments. Everything is going well now."

"Mr. Yu, there are 1.8 acres of soybeans in Lilou..."

In fact, all this information has been summarized in the local township compound, then summarized in the county town, and then summarized in the hands of the city manager.

But when the village heads were pulled over and faced the legendary boss, they had no idea what to say.

Yu Yang put down the telescope and looked back at the leaders of each village. "Thank you for your hard work. I have no other intention in coming here."

As he spoke, he picked up a stack of blue Great Man banknotes and patted them in his hands, "I just want to reward you all. So, you can't use your pockets, just take as much as you can."

"???"

"After you get it, go back to your own homes. If anyone's children fail to get into college, come to me. It's a little difficult to get into a first-class university, but a second-class university is no problem. If anyone's children want to find a job, come to me. I can arrange any position. As for you, drink less, study more, work hard for me, and take the money from me with peace of mind. It's that simple... Okay, start grabbing!"

Even so, with a circle of strong men standing around, no village chief dared to take action.

Yu Yang immediately waved his hand, signaling the spearmen to follow him to another place.

And wait until he leaves.

More than 20 local village chiefs rushed forward.

Pulling, tugging, dragging, or twisting, just to grab more blue great man banknotes.

Of course, no one dared to put it in their pockets, so they all kept it in their arms.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"One hundred and eighty thousand!"

"Fuck, you damned Wanglou Village Chief, give me back my thirty thousand!"

Not long after.

The villages that received the news were talking about it.

"Damn it, if I had known that being the village chief would be so good, I would have spent all my money to buy a ticket to go up there last year."

"It's too late to say anything."

"It's not too late actually. Let's keep a close eye on him and send him in. Then we brothers will have a chance to become village chiefs."

"Isn't it better to kill him?"

"He's registered with Sanyuan Agriculture. You killed him, you can't hide it. Do you think that we are still two years ago and no one cares if we commit a crime?"

……

On the south side of Pingyang County, there is Da'an Town, Yanzhou, on the Jishui River.

"Hu Bing, 6.6 mu, guaranteed yield of 450 jin per mu, market price of 3712.5 yuan per jin, total 8 yuan, minus the cost of 5 jin of bean seeds per mu, which is 264 yuan per jin, 3448.5 yuan, total yuan, do you want cash or credit union transfer?"

"cash."

"Sign, put your fingerprints on it, take this note, and go to the side to get the money."

"You really want to give it all to me?"

"It's already such a long time, why are you still dilly-dallying?"

"Will you let me plant it next year?"

"After you get the money, keep the other note. If you want to continue planting Sany soybeans next year, take these two notes to the Sanyuan Fast Food Store in the county town to get soybean seeds."

"Okay okay."

Hu Bing signed and pressed his fingerprint happily, and soon received 3448.5 yuan.

He left the village committee, bought a bottle of Kongfujia liquor, which was developed by Jishui this year as a tourism highlight, and a pack of luxurious cigarettes, and returned home happily.

Before he could show off the 34 banknotes, his wife suddenly took out nine slips of paper.

"what is this?"

"There are eight more expenses for this year's public grain."

Hu Bing picked it up and took a look, then he used his fingers to draw a line on the ground and counted...

"Boss, what are you doing packing up?"

"Go to Shiliying."

"Where are you going?"

"I'll find a job there that's enough to support both of us. Once you're familiar with the situation, you can find some odd jobs and then bring my parents and kids over."

"What should I do?"

"No more."

"What about the food supply?"

"No."

"Our house?"

"It won't get lost if it's left here. Besides, the money from growing soybeans is enough to rent a big house over there. If we live there for 20 years, according to the factory regulations, the house will be ours."

"Can it be done?"

"What else can I do? I worked hard for a whole year and finally had some money in my pocket. But I killed nine people and now I have only 600 yuan left. What can I do? I can earn more than this doing odd jobs in Shiliying in a month."

Hu Bing said, his eyes reddened, and he downed half a bottle of white wine in one gulp, "Are you going?"

The wife was worried about being beaten, "I'll listen to you."

"go!"

……

Ten-mile Camp.

The newly built main road was not only piled with soybeans, but also crowded with people coming from all over the place.

Some are alone, some are with their families, and some are driving farm machinery loaded with furniture...

The three musketeers of the street office were busy and sweating profusely.

The person in charge of the publicity system, who was once the director of the investment promotion office, said, "Old Huang, why are there so many people here?"

While asking the staff to register, Huang, the township head, responded: "Maybe it's time to hand in the grain supply."

"Escape?"

"How do you speak? Can you speak?"

"Oh oh...but we just settled the whole village with plastic greenhouses, how do we do this?"

"Xiaoqing River, open up the Xiaoqing River community."

“Isn’t that a breeding farm over there?”

"Soybeans have been harvested, soybean oil is in mass production, and feed is almost ready for the market. Xiao Dong from the pig farm and Mr. Gu from the cattle farm are waiting for us. Once the two factories are fully operational, a lot of manpower will be needed. The ranch will also need people, and perhaps we will build a plastic greenhouse planting area in Xiaoqing River."

"How to place it?"

"Continue to use residential steel-structured plastic greenhouses. I have contacted Sanyuan Construction and will deliver a batch tomorrow morning... Hey, there is someone smoking over there, ask him to put it out. If he smokes again, I will beat him. If the soybeans are burned, the whole street will be in trouble."

……

three days later.

The newly built main road has been completely transformed into a soybean drying yard.

包括佛陀庙384、十里营385、拳铺386、梁县387、嘉县388路段的高速公路，也被合理利用。

The two Y8 transport planes that came and went were stranded at Yaoqiang Airport again.

When Yu Yang returned from outside, the first thing he faced was not the hundreds of thousands of new people, but...

"Mr. Yu, soybean prices have dropped. The futures market has plummeted by two-thirds, and the spot market has plummeted by half."

"As expected."

"The price of Golden Dragon Fish soybean oil has dropped to 2.5 yuan per liter."

"Nine and a half?"

One liter of soybean oil is approximately equal to 1.85 kilograms.

Although the oil yield of the extracted oil needs to refer to the soybean variety, the oil yield of genetically modified soybeans used for oil production will basically not be lower than 45%.

Roughly speaking, 1.85 kilograms of soybean oil requires 4 kilograms of soybeans.

Including production costs, based on previous soybean prices, the cost of 1 liter of soybean oil is at least 5 yuan.

The Sany soybean oil that the company is about to sell will also be 5 yuan per liter.

But the other party sold it for 2 yuan...

"Think of a way to get them to lower their prices again."
