Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 329: Wheat Prices Plummet
Last year, the Shiliying Sub-district Office received 3000 billion yuan in education funds allocated by its higher authorities, and then began to comprehensively upgrade its own education system and that of surrounding areas.

At the end of the year, Yu Yang also heard Lao Huang say that there were too many children of migrant workers, and he planned to add several large junior high schools, high schools and secondary vocational schools in the street office.

But Sanyuan Agriculture is an agricultural company.

It has 10 mu of improved farmland (to accelerate growth), 100 million mu of experimental fields (with a 30% probability of producing high-yield seeds), as well as large tracts of plastic greenhouses, large cattle farms, pig farms, sheep farms, the Yellow River Ranch, and a flower market.

If we also include Sanyuan Heavy Industry's hangar, Sanyuan Building Materials' cement prefabricated parts storage area, Sanyuan soybean oil storage area, Sanyuan constant temperature warehouse, Sanyuan freezer, various processing plants, various commercial places, various entertainment venues, various livable steel structure communities, and multiple tourist attractions...

In fact, the land between Hangai West and Tianwai Bridge in Tai City is already full.

To this end, the company had to place the re-export trade zone in the north of the Yellow River, set up the electronics industrial park and e-commerce center in Puyang on the west side of the Yellow River, and then connect Shiliying Street with a bridge across the Yellow River.

Later, even the old site of the industrial park leading from Taishi to Laigang City was restarted and converted into an urban-rural fringe area to convert the migrant population of the urban villages into residents of the Tailai Industrial Area.

The children of migrant workers also need to go to school, and schools should also be built in urban and rural areas...

Therefore, the plan to expand junior and senior high schools in Shiliying Street has never been completed.

Yu Yang chatted with the owner of the donkey meat and hot pot restaurant, ordered a meal, sat down at a random seat, and enjoyed the bragging of a few junior high school students.

"Legend of Mir 3" cannot be considered a A masterpiece, but in the East where the Internet is emerging, it can fill the gap in the online game market and use core gameplay - leveling, exploding equipment, PK, and occupying monster spawning areas - to stimulate players' enthusiasm for the game.

Especially the gang system and the attack on Shabak, which make the game extend a cohesive social mode.

At the beginning, the company implanted the initial client of Legend of Mir into the Overlord all-in-one machine, one to prevent the couples stationed in the store from being too bored, and the other to promote the third series of electronic products.

After all, an all-in-one PC only costs a few hundred dollars, while a personal computer costs seven or eight thousand or even tens of thousands. If both can play online games, which one would you choose?
Furthermore, the more people use third-party electronic products, the more users of third-party communication networks will be, which will squeeze the market share of the three major communication operators.

Yu Yang has not forgotten who leaked his new phone number, which he had not even told his parents, to Qualcomm, and then it was discovered by old Smith.

I just didn’t expect that the Legend of Mir has already flowed into the society and affected the junior high school students.

In deep thought.

One of the boys who were eating at the same table suddenly slapped the short boy next to him on the back and said, "Eat quickly, why are you taking so long?"

The latter didn't dare to look up. He held the bowl and picked up the chopsticks, quickly picking up the leftover soup and food from everyone's plates.

Yu Yang frowned slightly, only then he realized that there were only 8 plates for 6 people, and two of them were using bowls.

In other words, two of them didn't order any food and ate what others had left.

He stood up and walked to the kitchen, "Boss, it seems those two didn't order any food."

The shop owner was a little embarrassed, "Brother, it's not that I don't serve them food, nor is it that I'm wasting collective resources..."
The main thing was that they were not children of employees. Initially, I asked them to either order and pay, or leave the store.

Later, the other 6 always gave me bad reviews, and I asked them to stand at the door until everyone finished eating...

It wouldn't make sense to keep going like this, so I allowed them to dine this way.

Don't worry, the food quota has not been exceeded, so it shouldn't be considered a waste of collective resources."

Yu Yang turned around and looked through the kitchen glass at the two boys who were eating voraciously.

The autumn clothes in the school uniform were very old, and the edges of the soles of the white thousand-layer cloth shoes were worn out. Although her face was still fair, there was dirt on her neck and behind her ears, as if she had not taken a bath for three to five months...
Yu Yang looked at these two, then at the six, and for some reason he suddenly thought of his former self and his old deskmate.

A poor boy from the country had to bring his own stool and candle to school.

The child of a city worker is picked up from school by bus and given free milk and eggs at noon.

This situation is just like that moment.

Yu Yang was stunned for a moment and walked out of the kitchen.

"Who dropped a heavy helmet? Which district is it from? I'll take it for 1000 yuan, cash."

The young boys gathered together and raised their heads in unison.

One of them stood up, "Really? I'm Lei Ting."

"What a coincidence. I have a number in Thunder."

Without Yu Yang's instructions, the store's monitoring system transmitted the message to the Xintai Data Center, which instantly selected a farmer's account that had a role in Thunder and needed a heavy helmet, and then sent it together with the password to the chairman's employee card.

The husband-and-wife shop has an all-in-one machine, and the shop next door also has one. Both parties log in as roles, one hand delivers the goods, and the other hand pays. It's that simple.

The boy who followed Yu Yang to get the money seemed to be the 'second in command' among the eight people.

Yu Yang logged out and said casually, "You guys play games all day, don't you have classes?"

“What’s the point of attending classes? I’m not afraid to tell you that my parents are also employees, and they are formal employees at the team leader level. Maybe they can even become small supervisors in the future.

When I graduate from middle school, I can go to a technical secondary school or even a college for workers, and learn a technical job, be it an electrician, a car mechanic, or even a manure collector. In short, I will be a Sanyuan person when I am alive and a Sanyuan ghost when I die, and I will never have to worry about food and drink in my two lives...

The most important thing is, no matter how much I earn, I don't have to worry about my parents' retirement, I don't have to pay for my children's schooling, and the company will even provide me with a wife...
So, before you enter the devil's training camp, before you are controlled by your wife, before you step into the job, you should eat, drink and have fun, otherwise you will never have the chance in this life. "

Boy, you really understand life.

Yu Yang never expected to get such an answer from a young boy.

"Do all of you think so?"

The young boy looked up in surprise. "All the children in the company think so. There was a skit like this during the Lantern Festival. For this, the patrol flag severely punished several leaders of the art troupe... However, although these things are not allowed to be talked about, this is the fact."

Yu Yang was busy day and night and really didn't know about this.

Now, after listening to the voices of the next generation, I suddenly realize the seriousness of the problem.

Because collective ownership also has disadvantages.

And it's obvious.

That is, some people are content with the status quo, which leads to the collective starting to play badly.

To this end, Sanyuan Agriculture attaches great importance to education.

It has successively set up township night schools, enterprise night schools, on-the-job education (reading books while sitting on the production line), and off-the-job education (workers' university), and has carried out multi-faceted cooperation with many well-known universities to share teachers and cultivate employees' enterprising spirit.

And then the most important thing.

The great waves sift the sand and select the talents.

In other words, in ten years, the three industries will inevitably enter the stage of automation and intelligence.

By then, massive industrial robots will be put into use, and there will be almost no need for humans in all walks of life.

Even in technical jobs, technological iterations will occur, resulting in a large number of positions being forced to be laid off.

But the collective will not abandon anyone who belongs to the collective.

Because of the ultra-fast development, employees will even be given higher treatment.

However, the collective does not want to keep idle people. What should ordinary employees do at this time?
Therefore, the think tank has developed a 'talent screening plan'.

All employees, whether there are millions or tens of millions, should all go to study and pursue further studies.

It doesn’t matter what you learn, but you must use your brain, learn it, understand and master it, and even create it.

Then, if we train/select one scientist among millions of employees, these million employees will realize their self-worth and will no longer be idlers.

Because they have participated in competition and created value in the process.

And training a scientist can definitely promote collective scientific and technological progress.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces. With technological progress, the collective can survive.

Therefore, collective education is a permanent plan involving the sustainable progress of collective science and technology, the sustainable development of the collective itself, and even the survival of the collective.

At the same time, it is an elimination mechanism that is highly competitive and cruel in nature.

It can even be said that the meaning of future employees' existence is only to learn → compete → produce scientists → drive collective progress.

Although Yu Yang knew that this was of no use to his family, everything still depended on the hang dad.

But the technology ceiling given by the cheating father is too low.

Until now, it has only reached the 1940s and 1950s.

If the company wants to maximize the value of its products, it needs to rely on people to create new materials.

For example, the existing graphene.

Another example is the "topological insulator", of which we only know the name but don't know how it was made.

Based on.

If everyone in the next generation is a scientist, how terrifying will the collective be?
How awesome is Chinese civilization?
What's more, we are cheating.

Perhaps at a certain stage, one's goal should be the sea of ​​stars.

Yu Yang looked at the "carefree" boy and suddenly thought of Africa, where the war was still raging.

"You should go to Africa and see for yourself what it means to be beaten for being backward." "Africa? That's a barren place where even dogs don't go."

"hehe."

During the conversation, we returned to the donkey meat hotpot shop.

The boys who got the money happily discussed which Internet cafe to go to for chartering a computer.

The two who were eating the leftovers also happily agreed while cleaning up the plates and bowls.

"After you two finish packing, come quickly."

"Okay boss."

Wait until the six children of regular workers leave.

Yu Yang looked at the two boys who were washing dishes.

"Their parents are both regular workers, and they won't have to worry about food and shelter in the future. What will you do in the future if you two skip classes and mess around with them?"

"We will rely on them in the future. Once they become regular employees, we can use their salaries to start a business outside. If they can help introduce some business, we will definitely be better off than outside bosses."

You two are quite transparent.

Although Yu Yang complained like this, he did not refute anything.

Just like state-owned enterprises, you are as close to a child of a state-owned enterprise as a brother. When you grow up, the other party helps you to get a loan and set up a private company. He or his parents then help you to get some business out of the state-owned enterprise. Wouldn't you take off directly?
If nothing else, construction contracting alone can make you a multi-millionaire.

What's more, there are machinery, electronics, rare metals...

And in the collective, this kind of thing is even strongly supported.

For example, in the export business of the re-export trade zone, anyone whose relatives or friends are studying abroad can participate. The lucky one, Zhu Hua, who invented the mobile Internet card, is a good example. He will be at least a billionaire in the future.

For example, in the distribution of fruits and vegetables, anyone whose relatives or friends do business in other provinces can get priority in purchasing goods.

If you ask if this is right...

If we don’t do this, how will we deal with the collective surplus production capacity when we are surrounded by enemies?

But this phenomenon is indeed wrong.

"You two are going to Africa, too."

"???"

···
in the afternoon.

At the donkey meat hotpot restaurant, Yu Yang, with the help of the SY mobile computer brought by Chang Fu, determined the feasible plan of "letting the left-behind children of employees and some of their partners go to West Africa to broaden their horizons."

Once there, they will first receive a year of military training, then review the knowledge learned in primary and junior high school under military management, and then return for the third year, and based on the credits, they will be assigned to a technical secondary school or a high school for workers for further improvement.

Yu Yang then forwarded the feasibility plan to the boss and asked him to go to Beijing.

Such a big matter must be reviewed by superiors.

After receiving the approval from the higher authorities, this feasibility plan will be submitted to the normal colleges and universities in the alliance of 100 schools, so that they can select graduates to go to West Africa for internship. The benefit is that after returning, they can directly obtain a formal teaching qualification from the Shiliying Sub-district Office, or a formal teaching qualification from the industrial zones of the four southern provinces.

When I finished my work, it was already evening.

Yu Yang casually flipped through the latest news at home and abroad.

There is nothing major happening in the country. It's nothing more than abolishing counties and merging them into cities here, abolishing counties and dividing them into districts there, and changing townships into towns in some areas.

Then, China Eastern Airlines was established.

Its predecessors were China Eastern Airlines and China Eastern Southwest Airlines, and it is also the only private company in the country that flies under the national flag.

The company has now signed a leasing contract with Sanyuan Heavy Industries to lease 10 high-performance Y8 pro max ultra-large transport aircraft that have obtained the EU airworthiness certificate, and has commissioned Sanyuan Machinery to make passenger adjustments to the cabin.

The Y8 was originally a copy of the An-12 and had a conspicuous large tail. Sanyuan Heavy Industries referred to the discontinued Y10. After two years of adjustments and material replacements, the current high-performance Y8 has replaced the four turboprop engines on the wings with four jet turbine engines.

The fuselage was lengthened to 31 meters and the wings to 43 meters, allowing its load capacity to exceed 130 tons, its ceiling to reach 1 meters, and its range to reach 4100 kilometers.

The disadvantage is that the take-off run distance is 550 meters when empty and 1300 meters when loaded.

Ordinary airports are simply unable to take off and land.

However, if there is a high-performance Y8 pro max, there is naturally a high-performance Y8 pro, which is a heavy-load cargo aircraft that still uses a turboprop engine.

As well as the high-performance Y8, which retains the large tail and is an in-house short-haul commuter airliner.

It’s just that the latter two haven’t obtained the EU airworthiness certificate and can only go to Europe on their own.

There is also domestic news.

The Asia-Pacific screening was held the year before last, the joint trial kick-off was held last year, and the Japanese Baseball World Cup finally started today. It will enter the official competition stage at the end of May.

After Eastern China got the tickets, they started promoting this historic moment in mid-May.

However, people are still focusing on the favorite to win the championship - the Xiangjiang Football Team.

Even when the news media reported on the Oriental football team, the background of the interview was the fat black man preparing for the game and warming up on the field.

Of course, there are also some discordant voices.

For example, another favorite to win the championship - the French team.

Some people questioned whether Bald Zidane, after endorsing SY's negative ion hair dryer, would give the Hong Kong football team sponsored by SY a pass when it came to endorsing SY's car-mounted handheld vacuum cleaner, SY men's toiletries set, SY clover sports brand, etc.

In response to this, Zidane shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and looked helpless: I was put in the same group with the fat black guy, and I let him win?
After browsing the domestic news, Yu Yang switched the news page and looked at the overseas news.

The most popular term is still aviation.

It is reported that as of May, a total of 5 flights have been destroyed by accidental crashes, mid-air disintegrations, or crashes into mountains around the world.

Not only Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, An series and Airbus series, but also various business jets.

This has caused global aviation service companies to question aviation manufacturing companies.

The latter has not expressed any opinion so far.

Does that mean that your aviation service company should ask the missile manufacturer?

The second hottest is the plunge in global wheat prices.

If converted into US dollars per bushel, the international price is 440 yuan per ton.

It is roughly equivalent to 0.22 yuan per pound.

And it is currently at a plummeting high, and will continue to fall in the future, and is expected to reach 1.5 cents per pound.

This is definitely not good news for farmers and ranch owners.

However, every planting season, some grains increase in price, and every harvest season, seasonal grains decrease in price. This is an inevitable trend. Otherwise, how can the world's grain traders speculate and make a fortune?
In other words, when you are planting, the grain merchants will drive up the price of grain if they need it to attract you to plant. Once you have grown the grain, the grain merchants will lower the price and take the opportunity to buy your grain and make a profit.

However, this has little impact on farmers who use three-series wheat varieties.

Because the three-line seeds guarantee a good harvest.

When you plant, the price of wheat is what it is, and when you harvest, Sanyuan Agriculture will purchase it according to that price.

As a result, global wheat prices plummeted, and noodle flour prices dropped significantly. Sanyuan Agriculture’s wheat side dishes lost their bidding power in the market due to their high costs.

If Sanyuan Agriculture chooses to lower prices, the amount of reduction will definitely be equal to the loss.

Yu Yang pondered for a while and opened the global food industry distribution map.

The world's wheat producing countries are first in Asia and second in South America, both of which remained the same as last year at 0.96 million tons.

The second is Ice Bear, 0.85 million tons.

The third is North America, with 0.41 million tons.

The fourth is Australia, with 0.28 million tons.

The fifth is France, with 0.27 million tons.

The sixth is Canada, with 0.26 million tons.
Then came Pakistan, Germany, Argentina, black bears, native chickens...

World grain traders in North America do not have much demand for wheat because soybeans are cheap and the livestock industry has no shortage of feed.

On the contrary, Europe has higher demand due to the disruption of Red Sea shipping.

If you want to buy wheat at this time, perhaps the only way is to get European capital that has lost the West African market.

Yu Yang thought for a long time and decided to let the bullet fly for a while.
