1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 240 This is a new situation where we are independent and break the anti-economic shackles!
At this time, most of the foreign businessmen in the conference hall were somewhat hesitant.

Many people hold their pens and look at the bidding amount in the tender documents, but they are still hesitant and don't know how much to fill in.

This is also the reason why Su Wenchen chose to shoot secretly.

Because no one knows what the other party's psychological price is. Even if you can ask, who knows whether it is true or not? What if it is a smoke screen deliberately thrown by the other party?

So to be on the safe side, most people can only choose to fill in the highest price in their minds.

Then they cover it tightly, fearing that others will see it and offer a price just slightly higher than their own. That would be tragic.

As the hourglass slipped away little by little, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"Ding!"

A crisp electric bell rang.

Su Wenchen also reappeared in the center of the auction table.

"Dear friends, one hour has passed. If you are interested in participating in the auction, please fill in the bid amount and your company name as soon as possible."

“After filling it out, everyone can put it in the standard box in front of the staff.”

“We will open the bid boxes in person, tally up everyone’s bids, and then announce the winners.”

After Su Wenchen finished his reminder, many people wondered how an hour could have passed so quickly!
Many people looked around, covered the bid documents with their hands, wrote the amount, folded them up, and put them into the bid box immediately.

Then a sigh of relief.

Because all that's left is to leave it to fate.

It took more than ten minutes for the staff to collect all the bids, and the three bid boxes placed below were all moved to the center of the auction table.

Su Wenchen looked at the standard box in front of him and said directly.

"Now that everyone has submitted their bids, we will open the bid boxes and count your bid amounts in front of everyone."

"Please wait a moment!"

Since this was the first time their country held this type of bidding method, Su Wenchen chose to announce it directly on the spot, and this time there were only more than 500 foreign businessmen participating.

Some of them came in groups of two or three, so they can be counted even if we do an on-site count.

Several more people came up later and could understand the English and Russian translations.

A group of people immediately started to classify and count them. Su Wenchen was counting the overseas Chinese businessmen from Hong Kong and Macau.

Because those who were invited here, although they all wrote in traditional Chinese characters, basically had no reading difficulties.

After Su Wenchen finished the statistics, he found that many bidders were individuals, most of whom bid directly at a price of 40,000 to 50,000 US dollars per set.

In total, a single fur skin was worth almost four to five thousand U.S. dollars, far exceeding his initial estimate of fifteen hundred U.S. dollars.

Su Wenchen didn't expect these people to be so willing to spend. He felt that he had underestimated the attitude of wealthy foreigners towards luxury goods at that time.

Since there were not many bids and it was just a simple calculation of the amounts, it was completed quickly.

After the bidders were shortlisted, the bid boxes were also moved down.

"Okay, everyone, I'm sorry to have waited so long. Now that all the numbers have been tallied, I will announce the winner of this auction."

After hearing this, the entire audience held their breath, staring intently at Su Wenchen above.

Su Wenchen didn't plan to waste time because there were more important things to announce later.

"First, the highest bidder is Mr. Huo from Hong Kong Island, who is bidding $100,000 for a set of Moonlight Treasures. A single fur skin is priced at $10,000."

Hearing this, the foreign businessmen below were stunned. Ten thousand yuan for a fur skin, this is too high!

However, many people understood it instantly and realized that this was simply an attitude of support.

After all, most people know that the other party has always been close to the domestic situation.

Su Wenchen also knew that Mr. Huo was mainly developing in the fields of real estate, shipping, and construction, and would basically not be involved in industries such as leather. Moreover, he only bid for one group, which should be an expression of his support.

But no matter what the other party thought, their behavior did push the price directly to the peak of fur products.

Because the most valuable Siberian sable skin at present, the price of its most perfect one is just over 5,000 US dollars.

No one has been able to break it.

Now the record holder for the highest price has finally been replaced, and this time ten photos were auctioned off at once.

After that, Su Wenchen bowed slightly to Mr. Huo and continued to announce.

"The second successful bidder was Mr. Albert Calvin from France, who bid $81,000 for a set of Moonlight Treasures. The price of a single fur skin was $8,100."

As soon as Su Wenchen finished speaking, a young man wearing a white suit and looking a bit showy immediately stood up excitedly.

"Sean, Sean, I won the bid. When I go back, I will definitely design the most perfect outfit."

"Believe me, it will shock everyone!"

The slightly older young man wearing a black suit rubbed his head.

"Abel, you spent $80,000 on ten furs. There is absolutely nothing to be happy about. I admit that the fur is of high quality, but it is not worth the $80,000 you spent."

"No, no, no, you don't understand. This is art. I believe this kind of fur will soon become popular in Europe."

"And I will use it to prepare a set of rare furs with a dark night luster."

“Darkness and light, two completely opposite properties, are combined into one using this rare fur to create the world’s first breathing moonlight dress.”

"Oh, I get shudders just thinking about that!"

"But the damn thing is that my status as the first buyer was snatched away by someone else. If I had known, I should have offered $110,000."

Obviously, compared with the identity of the first buyer, thirty thousand US dollars was not in his consideration.

Moreover, after seeing the price, other foreign businessmen found that they might have to reconsider this kind of fur.

Because of the first $100,000, many people thought it was just self-promotion because of Mr. Huo’s connections with the mainland.

Then this second time is the real recognition from others.

Especially in Western Europe, many people still know the bidder Abel Calvin.

As the fourth-generation heir of the Calvin family, there is no way he could have been invited here as a stooge.

Su Wenchen then continued to announce the winners one after another, and basically those at the top were individual bidders.

There were a total of 328 groups in front, all of whom were individual bidders.

Almost all of them are auctioned in groups of one to ten, and the average price of each fur is around five thousand US dollars.

Because these people may be collecting, they are naturally willing to pay the highest price.

As the number gets smaller and smaller, many of those bidding in the name of companies are getting a little anxious. They can't let all 10,000 furs be contracted out to private individuals!

"Next is the Fendi Group from Italy. They have successfully bid for 300 sets of Moonlight Treasures at a price of 90.57 million US dollars. The price of a single fur skin is equivalent to 3,019 US dollars."

"The Calvin Workshop in France bid for 300 sets of Moonlight Treasures at a price of 90.27 million US dollars. The price of a single fur is equivalent to 3,009 US dollars."

As soon as the price was announced, there were many exclamations from the audience.

Many people were even more worried.

Because the two big groups actually booked 600 groups at once, and this was also the upper limit set by Su Wenchen, otherwise the remaining groups would probably have booked all of them.

Abel in the audience looked at his friend beside him curiously.

"Sean, it seems like you've been seen through by those five Fendi sisters!"

"They're deliberately bidding at a lower price than you are!"

Hearing this, Sean shrugged.

"Didn't I take 300 photos? This proves that my vision hasn't deteriorated!"

"But you've been seen through!"

"It was just a coincidence, I still managed to get 300 shots!"

"But you are being oppressed!"

"Shit, Abel, if you keep repeating it, I don't mind telling Anna about your past scandals at school."

"Okay! Sean, I think it's better to let this old history rot in my stomach!"

Su Wenchen looked at the company with the highest bid.

Announced directly.

"The last 72 groups were from Mitsui Trading Company in Japan, and the winning bid was $3,001 per skin."

After hearing what Su Wenchen said, the person in charge of Mitsui Trading Company below began to reprimand his subordinates in a low voice.

"Baga! You're such a jerk for raising the price by only one dollar!"

It was obvious that the other party was very angry. After all, the bidding amounts of the three parties differed by only a dozen dollars, which meant that their psychological price was around three thousand dollars per ticket.

It would be fine if other people’s prices were much higher, but this one that’s just a little higher is really a suppression in terms of IQ and strategy.

So naturally, Mitsui & Co. was extremely unhappy when it only got 72 tickets in the end.

After all, the first two companies each had 300 groups, while they only had more than 70 groups. This was not only a matter of money, but also a matter of face.

After Su Wenchen made his announcement, he looked at the final calculated average price of more than 4,300 US dollars per fur skin, which was nearly three times his estimate.

And these were only 10,000 skins. It could be said that he felt a sense of accomplishment at this moment.

"My dear friends, I now declare that the auction of Yuehuazhizhen is officially over. The winning bidder must make a wire transfer within three days. If the time limit is exceeded, the winning bid will be automatically postponed to the next person."

"In addition, you can rest assured that due to the extremely demanding production method of this precious fur, we only produce 20,000 precious furs every year."

"But friends who didn't take the photo can rest assured. We have reserved 10,000 precious photos of the moonlight just for our friends."

"Later, we will give you a list of equipment that our country needs to import."

"If you are interested, please pay attention. For those who can deliver the equipment we need, we will give you Moonlight Treasures of equal value to the equipment at the market price."

"And you don't have to worry about us needing your most advanced equipment. I can tell you that many of the production lines on our list are eliminated by your country."

"You can go back and buy these at a very low price, and then ship them to us in exchange for expensive furs."

"Of course, if it is industrial equipment that we urgently need, then we will also give such friendly friends extra gifts that exceed the value of the equipment."

Hearing this, many people's eyes flickered.

Apparently some people have realized that these subsequent things cannot be bought with money.

In addition, the countries that are generally invited to the Canton Fair are basically those with which China has established diplomatic relations, so most foreign businessmen are also clear about what types of industrial equipment are urgently needed in the country that is now blocked by both poles.

But whether it is blocked or not has little to do with them, as long as it is not military equipment.

Many foreign businessmen feel that it is not impossible to trade. In fact, if the profit is huge, even if it is in the military industry, it is not impossible to find a way.

Because no one would think that sending some of their obsolete production lines would enable this country to develop and eventually surpass them.

As the auction came to an end, many foreign businessmen were worried.

Obviously the reason for the ten thousand furs behind.

However, some clever small businessmen thought this was an opportunity to make a fortune, and they had to ship in equipment before they could make the exchange.

After all, those big companies may have concerns. After all, if they are exposed, there will definitely be impacts on the stock price and the company. But small companies like them don’t have to worry about these. As long as they can make money, what does it matter to them whether they are blocked or not?

Obviously, after Su Wenchen raised the price through secret bidding, most people felt that if they could exchange some obsolete equipment in the country for this kind of high-quality fur, it would be a very cost-effective deal no matter how you look at it.

And judging from the bidding on site, most people don’t seem to worry about not being able to sell the items.

Many people also have an idea of the price of obsolete equipment in their own countries.

Therefore, many people started asking the staff of the foreign affairs department for a list of equipment as soon as they left the auction.

Some people even think that they will return to China as soon as they get the list and purchase those obsolete equipment.

Because many people come here to see if there are any opportunities to make money.

Now that we have found it, the main focus will definitely be on making money. After all, there are only 10,000 precious furs.

Three days later.

Bank foreign exchange settlement room.

When the last foreign exchange settlement was completed, the person in charge of the Foreign Exchange Settlement Office of the Guangzhou Branch of the People's Bank of China walked out with an excited look on his face.

"Ministers, the final settlement is complete. The final total is $43,540,000, and not a single order has been cancelled!"

Hearing this, Su Wenchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although the deal was done, the other party could still go back on their word after the money had not arrived.

Now that the money has arrived, it means that others recognize the value of this fur.

Then the subsequent equipment replacement can continue.

Minister Chen here could hardly hide the joy on his face.

"Very good. I will call Beijing City immediately to report the good news. We also need to ask the higher-ups to come up with a list as soon as possible for the subsequent equipment replacement. The Canton Fair will end in 15 days. If we don't hurry up, everyone will leave."

"Xiao Su, you guys should take a good rest in the next few days!"

"You've been exhausted during this period of time. You can take this opportunity to take a good look around Guangshi. You can wait for the hospital to notify you of the details later!"

Su Wenchen also responded with a smile.

"Minister, we are all serving the people. Why is it so tiring?"

Hearing this, Minister Sha from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry on the other side became a little anxious.

"Old leader, we can't let the hospital make all the decisions!"

"If I'm not there, they will definitely not remember our Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. If they get rid of my people, who will I ask for help?"

"Then I don't care. Who told you to come here in a hurry?"

"I don't think there is much foreign exchange. Our Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has absorbed it all. Who knows there is so much? And this person is from our agricultural system. I will be very angry if anyone wants to transfer him away!"

Looking at Minister Chen walking out with big strides, he immediately prepared to chase him out and discuss countermeasures.

However, after taking two steps, he turned around and looked at Su Wenchen and said.

"Xiao Su, I'm telling you, don't listen to other people's lies. They're all trying to trick you into working."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you later when I have time!"

When Su Wenchen heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Minister Sha, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. I really think the agricultural system is good, and I think only in breeding can I play the greatest role."

Hearing this, Minister Sha smiled and patted Su Wenchen on the shoulder.

"Haha, good boy, you have a good vision. If it weren't for the supply from our agricultural system, those people in the industrial sector would have nothing to eat every day."

"We are the first pillar of the country!"

"But remember what you said! Don't change your mind so easily!"

After saying this quickly, he chased after Minister Chen in front of him.

"Old leader, wait for me. You have to stand on my side this time. Our agricultural system is suffering. This time, the purchase must be mainly fertilizer equipment."

After the two big leaders left, the Lan City Foreign Exchange Earning Group felt like they were in a dream these days.

Before coming here, except for Su Wenchen, no one else dared to think about earning more than 10 million yuan in foreign exchange.

But now, by exporting only 10,000 sheets, we have earned more than 40 million in foreign exchange.

It is more than the total foreign exchange earned by Lan City in the previous ten years.

Not to mention that there are 10,000 furs that need to be exchanged for various urgently needed industrial equipment.

Deng Hongxia didn't know what to do.

Because as Minister Sha of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry said earlier, although she was not present, she still found out later.

Her mood can be said to be more complicated than Director Zhu's.

After all, seeing your own peach orchard grow and then suddenly become a public peach orchard, no one would feel comfortable about it.

In fact, it wasn't just Deng Hongxia. Everyone else in Lan City's foreign exchange earning group had mixed feelings.

Han Yang was worried about the promotion of Lanshui Factory, so what would happen to the leather foreign trade company?
After all, Lanshuichang was promoted, but no details were given at the time on how the foreign trade company would deal with it. If Su Wenchen left, Han Yang knew that he would definitely not be able to keep this piece of fat meat.

With more than 40 million in foreign exchange a year, he could tell with his feet that there must be a lot of people eyeing it.

Su Wenchen turned around and looked at the people except Jiang Li, who had complicated expressions, and knew what they were worried about.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't worry, I won't leave you alone."

Hearing this, Deng Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, Su Wenchen's words made her heart, which had just relaxed, tense up again.

"However, you will be responsible for the city later."

"This year, we were in a hurry, so the first batch were all top-grade Yuehua rabbits. But later on, our farm will only be responsible for the breeding of top-grade Yuehua rabbits."

"After we build a reputation for this precious fur, you can raise more ordinary Moonlight Rabbits."

"You're going to seize the market for mid-range fur. Although the price is definitely not as high as this, since the production of top-grade Moonlight Rabbit is small and the price is high, many people who can't afford it will definitely consider your substitute."

"As long as the price is right, it will definitely be sold out in a short period of time!"

Then he turned and looked at Jiang Li.

"Your commune can also purchase breeding rabbits from our farm and specialize in raising ordinary Yuehua rabbits."

"After all, even if we are a farm directly under the Ministry, we will not move!"

“At most, we are building new venues somewhere else.”

Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Jiang Li nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll tell the county when I get back. We'll definitely take advantage of your farm's momentum and start breeding ordinary Yuehua rabbits as soon as possible. It's just that the rabbit feed is a difficult issue."

Su Wenchen thought about it.

"There's no rush for this. I'll look back at the next step in the development of our farm. It might be in the Yellow River flood area. With support from above, we will definitely plant alkali-resistant alfalfa there."

the other side.

Lan City.

Blue Water Livestock Ranch.

Since we haven't received the above documents yet, Blue Water Field is completely unprepared.

Since Su Wenchen and Han Yang are not here now.

Now he and Zheng Xianghong, one is in charge of Lanshui and the other is in charge of Shiquan, which seems to be a bit like they don't interfere with each other.

Early in the morning, he was patrolling the chicken coop with his hands behind his back.

This is his personal habit. No matter what he does, he must go to the front line to check it out in person.

As a result, I haven't even taken a few steps yet.

There was a sudden burst of exclamations from the backstage, and there was also a heated discussion.

The sound was so loud that Zhang Zhenhua, who was standing there, frowned.

Just walk over with a straight face.

When I opened the door, I saw everyone gathered together, and I had no idea what they were doing.

And some people were still shouting.

"Is this our venue? It can't be fake!"

"It must be real. How can a newspaper delivered by the post office be fake?"

Zhang Zhenhua didn't understand what he heard.

"What are you guys doing gathered together?"

"Is working time for you to get together and do other things?"

After hearing Zhang Zhenhua's voice, the organizer still said with a happy expression on his face.

"Deputy Director Zhang, our field has been reported again."

Zhang Zhenhua frowned even more.

"Hasn't it been on the Internet before? What's so shocking about this? Is it being reposted by the same place again this time?"

The others immediately shook their heads.

"No, this time it's the People's Daily, and it's the front page headline!"

"We were a little bit incredulous, and they were talking about the director and his team going to the Canton Fair."

Zhang Zhenhua was a little confused.

"Isn't the Canton Fair over yet? Why is it reported in advance?"

As he said this, he walked over and took the newspapers from the hands of several people.

When he saw the title for the first time, his eyes narrowed drastically.

Because that’s what’s on the front page.

"Leadership instructions: This is a new situation in which we are independent, self-reliant, and break free from economic shackles!"

The following content follows immediately.

"Good news from the Canton Fair! The Yuehua rabbits bred by our working people have earned US$43.54 million in foreign exchange from their precious furs. "

Looking at the amount, Zhang Zhenhua cleared his throat and had no idea what to say.

He didn't even know whether he should be happy or sad at this moment.

In the end, he said nothing, but just took the newspaper and walked towards his office step by step.

At this moment, he just wanted to be alone and quiet.
