I saw everything

Chapter 95: Big Gamble (Medium Cup! More Updates)

Although she decided to research the formula for the largest mass production of morels, Lin Shuya was not too anxious.

After having dinner with Jiang Miao, she went to the lounge on the third floor, took out her cell phone, found a name, and dialed the number.

beep...

After a while, the call was connected.

"Hello? Is this Shuya?"

"Brother Luo, how are you?" Lin Shuya asked about the other party's physical condition first, expressing her concern and bringing the two sides closer.

In fact, Luo Yulin and Lin Shuya have a pretty good relationship. After all, they once shared the same suffering and had both been cheated by their doctoral supervisor Du Bolun.

Moreover, after she left quietly, among several senior brothers and sisters, only Luo Yulin called and asked about the specific situation. The other senior brothers and sisters did not ask about her situation.

After all, there is a difference between closeness and distance.

Some people are dissatisfied with Du Bolun.

Naturally, there were people who flattered Du Bolun.

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's okay, I just broke a leg. I'm still in the hospital."

"What did the school say?"

"The academic department said they would change my doctoral supervisor, but I don't have the heart to continue studying now." Luo Yulin's voice was filled with heavy fatigue and frustration.

After hearing that Luo Yulin had given up the idea of ​​continuing his doctoral studies, she instantly became more confident in persuading him to come over, and immediately began to persuade him: "Brother, in this case, why don't you just come to our company to do research! Anyway, you don't care about the diploma anymore."

"Shuya, are you serious?" Luo Yulin was a little surprised and doubtful.

"Brother, my husband's and my company are currently conducting research on various edible fungi. Anyway, the underlying technologies of edible fungi and medicinal fungi are similar. I am optimistic about your ability. Brother, you should not be buried like this."

"Okay, I don't want to stay in Handong anyway, so I should start making money to support my family as soon as possible so that my parents won't worry."

Luo Yulin, who was born into a peasant family, has always relied on his parents' farming and vegetable growing for support. Now he is nearly 30 years old, but is still studying for a doctorate, and his parents are getting older. It was because of family reasons that he was controlled by his supervisor Du Bolun and forced to give many papers to Du Bolun's son.

What really made him collapse was that he had reported Du Bolun, and the other party found out. This not only led to two important papers being taken away by Du Bolun, but also threatened to prevent him from graduating forever.

Luo Yulin, who was so depressed that he jumped from the third floor, was fortunately there was a small patch of green bushes below where he jumped. He fell on the bushes and the impact of the jump was cushioned.

Now lying on the hospital bed, thinking about his elderly parents, he finally figured it out. He gave up the idea of ​​continuing his doctoral studies and planned to leave Handong, this sad place.

Originally, Luo Yulin had not decided where to go, but Lin Shuya's call gave his confused life a bit of direction.

"Brother, when you get well, come to Lingnan. You can just call me then."

"Thank you, I'll be there as soon as possible."

"Then I won't disturb your rest. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shuya sent the other party another 5,000 yuan via WeChat, saying it was advance payment for travel expenses.

Luo Yulin, who was short of money, also knew that this was Lin Shuya's good intention. She might be worried that his self-esteem would be offended, so she said that the travel expenses were paid in advance, which touched him deeply.

But he didn't have any unreasonable expectations.

The main reason is that Luo Yulin has a girlfriend.

In the ward.

Luo Yulin, whose left calf had a plaster cast on it, hung up the phone and looked at his girlfriend Fang Yunyun, who was peeling an apple. She was silent.

"Yunyun, I'm so sorry..."

"No, it doesn't matter. I respect your choice."

"It's my fault that I delayed you." Luo Yulin really felt that he was sorry for Fang Yunyun.

The two have been in love for more than five years. The other party graduated from Handong University three years ago. In order to be with him, Fang Yunyun rejected her parents' suggestion and did not go back to her hometown Hangzhou to take the civil service exam. Instead, she found an unstable job as an English tutor in Jingzhou, Handong.

"Don't say that. You can figure it out. I'm actually very happy. Anyway, you have a master's degree. We can just work hard together in the future."

"I...thank you, Yunyun." Luo Yulin's eyes were filled with tears.

Fang Yunyun smiled and cut a piece of apple and handed it to Luo Yulin: "You are going to work in Lingnan, I will go with you! After all, it is inconvenient to be in different places."

"Why don't we wait a while before we talk about it? After all, I'm just going to take a look at the situation. Junior Sister Lin's company may not be suitable for me."

"Well, make a decision as soon as possible. If you really plan to develop in Lingnan, there is no need for me to stay in Jingzhou."

"it is good."

In fact, when Fang Yunyun said that she wanted to go to Lingnan with him, Luo Yulin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This answer also meant that Fang Yunyun wanted to continue with him. Once Fang Yunyun chose to stay, the fate of the two would most likely end there.

It is difficult for a long-distance relationship to succeed.

However, this was also a choice Luo Yulin gave Fang Yunyun, mainly because he felt that his future was uncertain and they were both at an age where they had to talk about marriage. If the other party chose to stay in Jingzhou, he would break up without hesitation and let her find a more suitable partner.

After getting this answer, Luo Yulin felt a lot more relaxed and suddenly felt that there was no hurdle in life that he could not overcome.

Maybe the truth is simplicity.

In the past, I placed too much emphasis on my future and my doctoral degree, which is why I was controlled by my mentor Du Bolun.

The moment he chose to give up his doctoral studies, everything became different.

...

The next day, Jiang Miao and Lin Shuya continued to focus on their scientific research.

In Lianhua County, Luoxiao Mountain Area, Jiangxi Province, a mountain village in the central part of the county.

Because today is the weekend, Li Hao took the opportunity to return to his hometown from the city.

This is Yanxi Village in Nanling Township, Lianhua County.

Looking at the old house covered with vines, he cleaned the stone steps under the eaves a little and then sat down.

Look into the distance.

Those are the waves of the mountain.

That is the spray of the trees.

This is also his hometown.

After sitting for a while, he opened the rusty iron door of the old house and took a straw hat, a hoe and a sickle from a room that was full of miscellaneous farm tools.

He was driving an electric car on the small cement road in the village.

The sun is already hovering in the southeast sky, casting light and heat on the earth.

The mountain wind still carries the remaining coolness from the early morning.

After a while, his electric car stopped on the side of a hillside next to the reservoir. On the hillside was the 25 acres of land contracted by his family, where navel oranges, oil tea and peaches were planted.

Just by looking at the weeds under the fruit trees, you can tell that this orchard has not been well managed. In fact, many of the surrounding orchards are in the same condition. Some fruit trees have even been covered by weeds and vines, and you can't tell that they are fruit trees at all.

Li Hao took a look at the condition of his own orchard. Since his father would come back for one or two months every year, the weeds under the fruit trees were not too dense, only as high as his calves.

Ignoring the crooked navel oranges and peaches, he waved his sickle, swept down the spider webs between the trees, and came to the center of the five acres of oil tea field.

Looking at the tea trees that were already hanging with small fruits, he was not too happy, because due to the extreme weather this year, the fruit bearing of these tea trees was very unsatisfactory. He made a rough estimate in his mind that this year, the five acres of tea trees might not yield more than 200 kilograms of tea fruits.

Li Hao has been hesitant these days regarding the proposal of his old classmate Jiang Miao.

As a native of Lianhua County, he knew oil tea too well. The economic benefits of per-acre yield were too poor, and the planting process was too labor-intensive. If it were not for the continuous government subsidies over the years, it would not have attracted the favor of farmers and small business owners.

Li Hao did not have high expectations for the high-quality oil tea varieties that Jiang Miao mentioned.

After all, he works in the local Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau and knows everything about the promotion of oil tea.

Under ideal conditions, the best tea oil variety currently available can produce no more than 50 kilograms of tea oil per mu.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that many people in the market boast that tea seed oil can cost hundreds of yuan per kilogram.

In fact, the purchase price of tea seeds by oil pressing companies is generally around 20 yuan per kilogram, which is equivalent to about 40 yuan per kilogram of crude tea seed oil.

In other words, under ideal conditions, one acre of tea oil can be sold for 2000 yuan.

If it is a year with frequent extreme weather like this year, just look at the condition of the oil tea in front of Li Hao. Five acres can only produce about 200 kilograms of oil tea fruit, which is not enough for him to eat, and there is no money to sell. This situation has caused many oil tea plantations around Lianhua County to be in a semi-abandoned state.

Many times, if you want to rent this kind of tea oil plantation, you only need 30 yuan per acre per year to get a large tea oil plantation.

The reason why it is so cheap is mainly that local villagers also know that it is difficult to make money from oil tea planting, so they can only attract some suckers by offering low prices.

As long as there are people willing to take over, the more people take over, the less likely it is to maintain the tea oil plantation by yourself. You have to hire local people to weed, spray pesticides, fertilize, water, prune and pick, which is where the real money is made.

The local villagers want to earn some money by working, so the rental price of the tea oil plantation is very cheap.

If Li Hao was willing, he could easily rent hundreds of acres of tea oil plantations in the village as long as he asked.

However, no local people are willing to take over this kind of unprofitable investment, except for those who don't know much about it.

Now he faces this choice.

The 5 acres of land at my home, plus a part at my relatives' home, together we have about 50 acres.

This area is small and one person cannot manage it; but it is also large, but it cannot be compared with those large gardens that cover hundreds or thousands of acres.

The scale of 50 acres is indeed a bit awkward.

But if he wants to expand the scale, the hundreds of thousands of dollars he has saved in the past few years are not enough to buy a large area. The rent is indeed cheap, but the labor cost is the real big expense.

After much deliberation, he decided to start with 50 acres of oil tea. His own hundreds of thousands of dollars should be enough to sustain him for two to three years.

However, for daily management, I can only entrust my uncle's family in the village to help look after it, and then I will take time out every weekend to come back and do it, so as to reduce labor costs.

Although he has made up his mind, Li Hao is still unsure: "I hope A Miao's new product is good, otherwise my money may be wasted."

He then told Jiang Miao about this decision via WeChat.

However, Jiang Miao was still in the laboratory at that time and did not bring his mobile phone in, so he did not reply immediately.

Until 11:30 noon.

Jiang Miao patted his sore back, came out of the laboratory, opened his locker, and saw many unread messages on his phone, including the message from Li Hao.

Then he made a phone call back.

"Hey, Haozi, I'm sorry, I was in the lab just now and I didn't have my cell phone with me."

"Haha, I knew you were busy."

"Have you really decided?"

"Well, I plan to try planting 50 acres of tea leaves first. How is the situation over there?"

"50 mu? That's fine. How about this! Your oil tea garden can be used as an experimental field for my company. I will subsidize you yuan per mu per year for three consecutive years."

"Sanshui, don't be like this! I know you're worried about me, but I can hold on for two or three years."

"No, I'm serious. After all, this is a new variety, and experimental planting definitely requires careful work. Just take this subsidy, don't be polite to me."

"OK then!"

"By the way, the first batch of tissue culture seedlings that can be grafted will probably not be delivered until the beginning of next spring."

"I know." Li Hao majored in agronomy after all.

Jiang Miao said before that he discovered a new variety from a wild large-fruited tea oil tree. It is definitely impossible that all the grafted branches came from that mother tree, especially if it is to be promoted on a large scale. It can only be grown through tissue culture.

It takes more than half a year, which is actually very fast.

According to Jiang Miao's estimation, after the mutant tea seeds take root and sprout, it will take about three months for the plant to reach a height of 1 meter under laboratory conditions.

However, for secondary tissue culture, it is not necessary to grow to a height of 1 meter. It only needs a height of a dozen centimeters to collect buds and leaves for secondary tissue culture seedlings.

That is to say, in the next eight months or so, through laboratory tissue culture, with one generation every two months, it is entirely possible to produce four generations of tissue-cultured tea oil seedlings.

Each generation can increase in size by 50 times.

That is 1-50-2500-125000.

By March next year, the number of fourth-generation tissue-cultured tea oil seedlings will reach 125000.

This scale is enough to graft 125000 tea oil trees by March next year, which is roughly equivalent to about 2500 acres.

If it is not enough, you can continue to expand it through tissue culture.

It is no problem to produce hundreds of thousands of acres of grafted seedlings in a year.

However, in this case, Li Hao's oil tea garden would definitely not be able to absorb such a large number of oil tea seedlings, and Hailufeng Company would have to operate the oil tea garden on its own.

As for why not sell it to other tea oil growers.

there are many reasons.

One of the reasons is that the sale of new varieties of seedlings requires a series of procedures. Currently, Hailufeng Company must register the genetic pedigree of the new varieties of oil tea in the Youwang series as soon as possible, and then apply for other procedures to the local Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau.

Considering Hailufeng's influence in the local area, such an application would not be too difficult.

However, obtaining legal procedures does not mean that you can sell directly.

After all, the farmers are not fools. It is impossible for them to blindly purchase the new variety of tea oil seedlings from Hailufeng Company just by listening to your introduction.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Hailufeng Company could only grow tea oil on a small scale on its own.

Of course, the small scale that Jiang Miao mentioned refers to a scale of at least tens of thousands of acres, which can reflect the production capacity advantage of the Oil King series of tea oils.

With this idea in mind, he took some time to go to the office at the headquarters and called Deputy General Manager Jiang Haibo.

"Haibo, the company plans to add a branch company specializing in oil tea planting in southern Jiangxi. At the same time, it plans to set up an agricultural planting division within the company. Please conduct a preliminary screening of the personnel as soon as possible. I will find time to conduct an interview assessment."

While taking notes, Jiang Haibo asked, "Boss, how many people are needed for the branch office and the new department?"

Before coming here, Jiang Miao had already prepared a draft, so he directly stated his requirements: "The branch company needs at least 50 people, and the new department needs 10 people. The manager of the agricultural planting division will be Lv Weibin, the manager of Nanhu Farm. Nanhu Farm will be temporarily managed by Lv Weibin. I will select a new manager to take over Nanhu Farm as soon as possible."

"Boss, in that case, why don't we reorganize part of the production department!" Jiang Haibo took the opportunity to suggest.

"Tell me about it." Jiang Miao took a sip of tea.

"The Agricultural Planting Division can manage Nanhu Farm, Qiongzhou Branch, Gannan Branch, and the newly added agricultural planting industries. Considering the need for distinction, I suggest that the executives of specific industries be uniformly called factory directors, and the department managers at the company headquarters be uniformly called managers."

Jiang Miao put down his teacup and thought for a moment: "Alright, in this case, your title of deputy general manager is not suitable anymore, so change it to general manager of the company!"

"Okay." Jiang Haibo had no other ideas about this. After all, his current job scope was general manager.

No matter how the name is changed, the power will not change much, and Jiang Miao will still be the one who has the final say in the company. This is the inherent nature of a sole proprietorship.

Then Jiang Miao gave some more instructions.

As soon as the agricultural planting division is established, he will carry out large-scale expansion and acquire a large number of mountain plantations.

Among them, all the plantations in Jiangxi Province are oil tea plantations.

The plantations in Qiongzhou and eastern Guangdong will all be used for the future durian planting industry.

If you want to expand production capacity rapidly in a short period of time, you must do the preliminary preparations. Fortunately, Hailufeng Company has sufficient capital reserves and a steady stream of cash flow injection, so there is no need to worry about funding issues.

A simple plantation is not enough.

In the future, large-scale production of oil tea and durian must be prepared in advance, including supporting processing plants and the like, which must keep up.

This is also the only way for many agricultural crop raw material production companies.

Hailufeng Company must have its own oil pressing factory, edible oil factory, durian puree factory, and even further deep processing factories.

For example, the tea seed cake produced after tea seed oil extraction also contains a large amount of protein, cellulose, vitamins, polysaccharides and other ingredients, which can be further refined.

Hailufeng Company has the conditions to extend the industrial chain and of course cannot stop.

However, there is no need to rush to set up these supporting processing plants. It is still in time to start setting them up next year.

The key thing at present is to purchase a large area of ​​orchard in Shanmei, and transform it into a plantation of the beautiful silk cotton tree. Then, when the grafted genetically modified silk cotton tree is ready to use, it can be grafted on immediately, and finally the old durian branches can be grafted on.

This can greatly shorten the time it takes for the first batch of durian to be on the market. It is expected that the first batch of durian will be available in August next year.

In order to break new ground, Jiang Miao did not plan to plant only a few hundred acres of durian, but to plant tens of thousands of acres at one time to create a scale effect.
