Chapter 138 Purchasing Raw Materials
Yu Yang is right, the production capacity is here. At present, except for repurchase, there is really no way to get 20 million trolleys together within a week.
But for 30 yuan a car, buying back 15 million cars would require at least 450 million blue notes.
The person in charge of the purchasing department struggled: “It always feels like a huge loss to spend so much money to buy back gifts.
Besides, our family is short of funds now and needs money in all aspects...
How about you talk to Deputy General Manager Dong, General Manager Jishui, and General Manager Liaoshi and ask them to help borrow the local trolleys and wait for us to finish the overseas orders and then make up for them. This is probably equivalent to trading in the old ones for new ones. How about that? "
"Do you think an old man who even picks up vegetable leaves will believe your rhetoric? Besides, our vegetables and fruits are not sold in these three cities, Shaanxi, Xishan, Northeast, and Xiangjiang. I won’t even believe you. Just do as I say and repurchase it for 30 yuan...
You have to learn to turn disadvantages into advantages. Maybe this can become a case-level marketing campaign. Besides, if ADM spends 100 yuan to purchase and we supply for 30 yuan, excluding transportation and other costs, we can earn at least 1.4 billion, which is better than others canceling the order. "
While Yu Yang was on the phone, he checked the balances of various companies with the help of computer financial software.
Facts have proved that Deputy Director Liu of the National People's Congress is unreliable. He sent a copy of ADM's investment agreement. It has been a week, but Qilu Bank's 2.5 billion and Hua Xia Bank's 2.5 billion have still not been approved.
Fortunately, I still have US$4.5 billion in foreign exchange at the Oriental Head Office.
But, to be honest, Yu Yang didn't want to transfer the money.
Because in his memory, the Nasdaq in North America was about to be cut in half, cut in half again, and then cut in half again.
This capital can be used for shorting, turning 4.5 billion into 45 billion.
But in a capital society, capitalists make the decision. Who knows if the $4.5 billion that went to North America will come back.
Especially when you are targeted by ADM, the other party wants you to enter the stock market and then trap you like a bookmaker in a casino.
Therefore, Yu Yang no longer hesitated and asked the finance department to exchange $100 million to buy back the trolleys.
…
Beijing, Dongfang Head Office.
The head of the agency walked into the conference room with a stack of reports and placed them in front of a middle-aged and elderly man wearing an administrative jacket.
"Leader, the investigation is clear. Of the 4.5 billion U.S. dollars, 3 billion comes from various companies under the Smith family, and 1.5 billion comes from ADM."
"It seems we are still our old rival, Mr. Smith!"
"It should be that he instigated Soros to short Nanyang, but he suffered some losses in our Xiangjiang and was unwilling to do so."
A middle-aged and elderly man wearing an executive jacket, closing his eyes in deep thought.
The sudden appearance of Trinity bean seeds caught everyone off guard.
The guaranteed yield per mu is 450 kilograms, which is a full one-third higher than the yield of mainstream soybean species in the world, and even double the yield per mu of soybeans in some parts of the East.
It can be said that it can change the soybean industry pattern in a region, thereby affecting feed processing, meat breeding, etc.
Once these things are in sufficient supply, they can increase the nation's protein intake, make the nation better physically fit, and at least prevent them from getting sick, thereby easing the pressure on medical care.
In some small countries, Sanyuan Agriculture must have changed hands long ago, and Yu Sanyuan must have either committed suicide by jumping off a building, or fell into the sea and disappeared. Now the grass on the grave is one foot high.
However, this is the East.
Logically speaking, the most correct thing for superiors to do is to nationalize Sanyuan Agriculture, provide a series of protections, and then comprehensively promote Sanyuan bean seeds.
But the East is far from that strong, especially when it comes to issues such as reform, Olympic bid, and WTO membership. It needs to connect with overseas countries.
If Sanyuan Agriculture were a government-owned enterprise, the Sany bean seeds would most likely be put on the negotiation table by capital groups and used as a bargaining chip.
Just like Fujima from Marubeni Trading Company, when he met with the business manager some time ago, he actually said that Marubeni Trading Company was willing to give up half of its capital in the East in exchange for Sanyuan Industry...
Under such conditions, someone must be tempted.
Fortunately, the composition of Sanyuan Agriculture is very complicated. The decision is not made by the capital, nor by Taishi, nor by Yu Sanyuan, but by the jobs of hundreds of thousands of farmers.
Therefore, Beijing has always been very cautious on the matter of Sanyuan Agriculture.
Or rather.
If the capital intervenes, outside capital will soon come to the door.
If the capital does not intervene, no one is sure how Sanyuan Agriculture will develop.
Therefore, the capital's attitude towards Sanyuan Agriculture is like treating free-range children.
Just feed yourself.
The problem is that the development of three-yuan agriculture is also beyond everyone’s expectations.
In just three months, aquatic products, tourism, construction, chemical industry...
If the capital hadn't known about the abilities of the old Taishi boss, they might have suspected that Yu Sanyuan had defected to foreign capital.
He immediately arranged for himself and others to form a special team and start checking the accounts.
Then the task force discovered...
Yu Sanyuan's account book can no longer be described as shocking, but frightening.
He actually used about 2 billion in funds to complete more than 10 large projects with investments of 2 to 3 billion, or even 4 to 5 billion.
Tracks, soybeans, oil mills, agricultural and sideline products, Shuibo Liangshan, Dongyue Scenic Area, cattle farms, construction companies, building materials companies, on-site hospitals, special greenhouse communities...
The strange thing is that all this is still developing steadily and thriving.
Not to mention the special team, even the capital city that received the report was amazed by this.
Then came the problem.
ADM's investors, the Smith family, invested US$4.5 billion in Sanyuan Chemical.
Everyone knows the other party's intention, which is just for the Trinity bean seeds.
Everyone also understands the other party's strategy, which is nothing more than: Don't you treat Sanyuan Agriculture as a free-range child? Now I buy him clothes and delicious food, but you continue to endure it and watch him being abducted by me. Or are you going to negotiate with us?
If you continue to tolerate it, fine, I will throw away the order for 20 million trolleys and play some tricks on Sanyuan Agriculture. Don't get involved.
(The official sent bodyguards to Yu Yang. Later, Sanyuan Agriculture held business talks with ADM, and the capital supported lawyers and investors, so they knew everything.)
The leader of the special team, who is wearing an administrative jacket The middle-aged and elderly man opened his eyes and picked up the report that "Sanyuan Agriculture can earn 1.9 billion blue notes at a time."
"We took advantage of Deputy Director Liu's appearance and secretly said hello to Qilu Bank and Huaxia Bank, asking them to hurry up. Why haven't these 5 billion loans been disbursed yet?"
The assistant responded: "Kongbu Courtyard handed over a note saying that banks are in urgent need of loans. If Yu Yang is really short of money, he can ask Wanhong for investment."
"If we do this, Yu Sanyuan, who is short of funds, will become like us and have to take an order for 20 million trolleys. The problem is, delivery within a week..."
"ADM is forcing Sanyuan Agriculture to expand its production capacity. Perhaps this is just the beginning. Even if the chemical agreement stipulates quarterly delivery volume, ADM will still encourage Sanyuan Agriculture from other aspects, making Sanyuan Agriculture expand like a balloon, and then stimulate Break it."
"It's in line with Smith's style." The middle-aged and elderly man nodded, "But we have to help Yu Sanyuan solve this problem. Even if it expands, it must be within our control, otherwise the consequences... As the Shiliying Street Special Research Group, we Be responsible.”
"If the Air Ministry Compound doesn't stop it, we can definitely solve it."
"That's the problem above. Let's think of other ways."
The deputy head of the special team said: "Leader, Sanyuan Agriculture has close cooperation with Shantui. How about we find a way to introduce a batch of processing equipment to Shantui, let Shantui bear the production capacity of the trolleys, and then manufacture the trolleys and wait for the orders to be delivered. Let’s find ways to compensate Shantui.”
The middle-aged and elderly man's eyes lit up, "It works!"
The assistant pulled out a copy from the desk and reminded: "Boss, what I want is a trolley made of this material."
"Rail?"
"Yes, and the requirement is an improved rail material with high toughness, low temperature resistance, and a certain yield and tensile strength."
"Isn't it just a trolley? It looks like it's imported special steel."
"To put it bluntly, we are forcing Sanyuan Agriculture to expand production capacity."
At this time.
The clerk of the special team sent a document, "Leader, the finance department of Sanyuan Agriculture is applying for an exchange of 100 million U.S. dollars. The note is to buy back the trolley."
The middle-aged and elderly man didn't care about the exchange amount, but asked curiously, "Buy back the trolley?"
"Yes, I asked the insider, and they said that the purchasing department of Sanyuan Agriculture has begun to buy back the carts that were given away when buying vegetables from the market. They cost 30 yuan each, and they charge as much as they can get."
"Well guys, that's indeed a solution."
The assistant said: "As a result, ADM is very likely to get another larger trolley order. By then, Sanyuan Agriculture will still have to increase production capacity."
The middle-aged and elderly man sighed sadly, "That depends on Yu Sanyuan's ability. After all, he is a free-range baby."
Immediately, he thought of the 5 billion loan that had not been approved, and laughed to himself, "We can't help at all, and we have become a surveillance team."
After that, he walked out of the conference room.
"Boss, we have a meeting later."
"If there's anything to do, why not go home and see your grandsons, where are you guys... Let's go shopping. I heard that the commercial street in Sanlitun has opened."
…
other side.
News of the repurchase of the trolleys spread to all directions along with the vegetable vendors.
"30 yuan a car? I'll sell it, I'll sell it!"
"I have two at home!"
"There are three of them in my family!"
"Speaking of which, after we sell it, will you still give us a cart when buying groceries? Don't sell it to us for 50 yuan then."
Vegetable seller: "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely give it to you. I have been setting up a stall in this episode for four or five years. Can I still deceive you because of a trolley?"
"Then why did Yu Sanyuan buy back the trolley?"
"I heard that foreigners invested US$4.5 billion to build an ink factory in Shili. The person in charge of the foreigners was an old lady. She fell in love with the pushcarts and said she would take a batch back to China."
"Hey, foreigners also know how good trolleys are?"
"What's so good about it?"
"When it comes to pulling things, picking up children to and from school, especially when it rains or snows, you can use the pulley buckle to use it as a walking stick. Let me tell you, my old cold legs were cured by pulling a stroller. ”
"I don't want to sell it even after what you said."
"Then will you sell it?"
"I'll definitely sell it. I'll grab one next time I'm shopping. I'll make 30 yuan in vain." At the same time.
Puyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory.
"Director, Sanyuan Agriculture is buying back trolleys. They cost 30 yuan each. You can get as much as you want. They are valid within 5 days."
"Oh? How much does it cost to produce a cart?"
"It should be less than 10 yuan."
"Quickly, work overtime to produce, produce as much material as you have, and then sell it to Yu Sanyuan."
Similar scenes were also staged in Liaoshi, Heshi, Jishui City, and Dongshan Prefecture.
Then it spreads further afield.
Even the Northeast began mass production of handcarts.
…
The next day.
The vegetable sellers delivered the repurchased carts, received the payment for the goods, and the vegetables as additional compensation from Sanyuan Agriculture, and continued to the surrounding markets, selling vegetables while repurchasing the carts.
"Brother, are you collecting the trolley?"
"Yeah, it's 30 yuan a car."
"I've stocked up a lot, how much can you collect?"
"As much as you have, charge as much as you have."
Although the purchasing department of Sanyuan Agriculture does not pay the vegetable sellers hard work, the number of carts purchased can determine the amount of goods picked up the next day, and some extra will be given.
The vegetable seller suddenly became energetic and asked an acquaintance to look at the stall. "Brother, I can drive with you to pick it up."
"Your farm tricycle can't fit it."
"Oh? Tell me, how many."
"20,000 vehicles."
"Good guy, is it true or false?"
"Really, if you don't believe me, I can take you to the warehouse to have a look."
"Walk!"
After a while.
The vegetable seller looked at the brand new trolley frame and said, "Brother, you don't have a number on this."
"What do you mean?"
"Sanyuan Agriculture's trolleys all have steel-stamped numbers, and they look very solid and heavy. What is this? Is it made of iron or aluminum alloy? Look, it squeaks when I lift it. Aren’t you afraid of breaking somewhere and missing the waist of an old man or an old lady?”
"Won't you accept it?"
"Why should I accept this thing? The Sanyuan Agricultural Purchasing Department only wants its own trolley."
"You really don't want to charge it? It can be cheaper, 20 yuan."
"Don't say 20 yuan, I don't even want 10 yuan. Let's just walk away. It's a waste of feelings and time."
"..."
…
Shiliming Brick Kiln Office Area.
Although US$4.5 billion is temporarily deposited in the Oriental Head Office, it can still be considered as funds arriving.
Yu Yang began to be busy with the affairs of the plant-based chemical factory.
In addition to building the factory, there is also the procurement of raw materials.
Been busy for a long time.
He stretched and came to the door of the office area to smoke a cigarette.
Yu Zizi's work efficiency is relatively high. After a few days, the elevator of the brick kiln chimney was not only installed, but also sprayed with green paint.
Yu Yang walked in and came to the sentry tower at the top of the chimney.
Before, there was only a cannon barrel-style telescope inside. Now, two pairs of Taishi chairs, a wooden coffee table, a tea set, wires were pulled out, and a water dispenser was installed.
"This group of people, other skills have not improved, but they are getting better and better at flattering."
Yu Yang made a pot of tea, sat in the grand master's chair, and raised the barrel of the cannon.
Needless to say, it is more comfortable than before.
And look into the distance.
After more than half a month of nationwide infrastructure construction, the plastic greenhouse community with Shiliying characteristics has been completed. However, the construction process at that time was too rough and nothing was left.
Including roads and trees, everything is gone.
As a result, it now looks like a plastic greenhouse built in the Gobi Desert.
Yu Yang thought for a while and originally planned to contact his elder brother Zhao Qian and ask him to use the newly added 10 times improved farmland and the newly added 10 times experimental fields to cultivate a batch of green plants and then transplant them to the plastic greenhouse community.
But then I thought about it, doing this would definitely delay the cultivation of soybeans at home.
After all, in addition to the original 300,000 acres and the 8 million acres in Jishui City, the family now also contracts Pingyang County, the northern part of Fei City, and the western suburbs of Tai City.
Adding up the bits and pieces, there are still 1 million acres.
So Yu Yang contacted the purchasing department.
"We exchanged 100 million U.S. dollars the day before yesterday. According to the exchange rate, our family should get 825 million blue notes. Excluding the money for purchasing the trolleys, you take out 50 million and go to the south to buy a batch of green plants, especially the coconut trees. Give me a tour around the Brick Kiln office area.”
"Master, ADM just contacted our finance company and said that the use of the US$4.5 billion is limited to plant-based chemical plant-related business. Using this money to buy back the trolleys is already a breach of contract, but ADM takes advantage of the first cooperation. Don’t argue with us and ask the purchasing department to issue relevant details.”
"Is it so strict?"
"yes."
"But it doesn't matter. Coconut trees are also considered raw materials. They can imitate the 'blue' that does not exist in this world. You just need to write down the purchase details truthfully."
"That's it."
"Well, more importantly, ask Wuyi Mountain if there is still a mother tree called Dahongpao. Let's purchase one and cultivate it. Maybe we can sell tea in the future."
"Is this also a plant-based chemical raw material?"
"I said yes, it must be, it can be used as the raw material for apple red."
"Master, the leaves of the mother tree Dahongpao are green."
"Among the green, is there no red? You don't understand. Go back and ask the Science and Technology Bureau to produce the relevant laboratory report."
"..."
"Furthermore, bring me some bodhi trees. Recently, the contemporary abbot of the Buddha Temple has been calling me from time to time, saying that he wants to move the temple to the soybean planting area in the north of Han Gai. It will be convenient for people to view the sea and achieve Zen enlightenment. They plan to Take out all the gold, good guy, you don’t know, there is a big cellar, I even suspect that the gold ingots hidden under the cattle trough by the landlord were donated by the old party secretary and then bought by these monks. "
"Then what is this bodhi tree used for?"
"Purple stuff."
"Oh, I'll write it down."
"Also, buy some of the rare bonsais, rare flowers, and nearly extinct trees."
"Most of the trees that are almost extinct are in official institutions. We can't buy them back."
"Pull a cart of strong men over there and dig them back directly. If the local people stop you, just say that in order to earn foreign exchange, you have to put the overall situation first and leave them alone."
"Can it be done?"
"Forget it, leave this matter to me, Brother Dong."
It's night.
Lao Dong, who was staying in the Shiliying office area and waiting for the city compound and the special train to be delivered, stood in the brick kiln parking lot and looked at hundreds of heavy transport vehicles and a car of strong men carrying shovels and pickaxes. He felt proud.
"Walk!"
"Leader, where are you going?"
"Beihe Botanical Garden, they used to rob us of our windlass, but now they dig up a few trees and pay them back as interest. Isn't that excessive?"
"We listen to you."
…
Brick kiln office area.
"Director Yu, the director of Puyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory, came to visit."
"Tell them that our family will cooperate with ADM and introduce more advanced edible oil processing production lines from overseas in the future. We really can't hand over the next batch of orders to them."
"No, they came here to ask if you want to buy a trolley."
"Um?"
"I also brought samples."
Yu Yang understood. It was probably because he bought back the trolleys that the manufacturers sensed business opportunities and planned to sell them to him and make a lot of money.
Unfortunately, what I want is a trolley made of steel rails.
But then he thought about it.
I gave my pushcart to ADM, what will happen to the gifts from selling vegetables in the future?
Especially the repurchase of 15 million vehicles is equivalent to 15 million less vehicles on the market.
Hey, isn’t this already there? !
