Chapter 156: Grabbing money
When grabbing money from others on their property, you must always say hello to their parents.
Therefore, Yu Yang made a secret appointment with the Jishui manager overnight.
One of the two parties set off from Shiliying, the other from Jishui City, and soon met at the intersection of Jishui Liang County and Jia County.
It was 11pm.
There is no moon in the starry sky, and there is no wind in the wilderness.
The two of them leaned on the side of the AMG Tiger, holding cigarettes in their mouths, and looked at the dark soybean field together.
Yu Yang said: "These 8 million acres of soybeans are the only basis for Sany Soybean Oil to gain a foothold in the market.
Now that Sany Soybean Oil has been launched, if ADM has insight into Sanyuan Agriculture's strategy and discovers 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 business war will inevitably break out.
What about burning soybeans, what about Trinity soybean oil eating bugs, stomach cancer, and even eating dead people..."
"It's not that serious, is it?"
"It does sound a bit exaggerated, but in the past two years, there was also an oral liquid with three, and it was destroyed in this way. Those crazy media, in order to steal people's attention, the officials couldn't suppress it. Even Oriental TV and Nanhu The Supreme Court has come forward to clarify, but it will not help... This is a bloody lesson learned from the past!"
"I agree with the rush to harvest, but 8 million acres of soybeans involves millions of farmers. Once public anger is aroused, we cannot suppress it."
"As early as three months ago, Sanyuan Agriculture began to prepare cash, and now it can provide 4.3 billion. I plan to arrange personnel to issue guarantee fees on a village basis."
"You mean, in the name of giving out money, you gathered the villagers together and at the same time grabbed the soybeans in the village. After the villagers received the money, the soybeans in the fields were also taken away?"
"It's the same as demolition."
"What happens afterwards? After all, there are still about 15 days until the theoretical maturity period of Sany soybeans, so we always have to find a reason to rush to harvest."
“Jishui, Taishi, Laigang City, and Weicheng also asked the meteorological department to issue a red warning, saying that it will be windy and rainy in the next month.
Then Sanyuan Agriculture donated several flood-fighting expenses to various cities, building lake embankments, fixing the Yellow River, and connecting Beijing and Hangzhou.
At this time, vegetable vendors will spread some rumors, such as the possibility of another 98 flood...
For farmers, this is all a shadow. They will definitely be anxious and will definitely agree to rush to harvest soybeans. "
"???"
"What's wrong? Don't worry, I will also discuss with Liaoshi, Puyang, and Heshi, and promise some benefits to let them issue similar weather forecasts."
The manager of Jishui took a deep breath on his cigarette and said, "If you don't become the manager of Tai City, it will be Tai City's biggest loss."
"It's pretty good now."
"The question is, if you do this, how can you explain it to your superiors?"
"It's all Dongshan's fault."
"???"
"Don't worry, after the management of Dongshan Meteorology is dismissed, I will recruit them to Sanyuan Agriculture. After all, we are a large agricultural company. We need to have a meteorological research institute and all benefits will be favorable."
When the manager of Jishui heard this, he raised his head in silence and looked 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 up and load dry ice and silver iodide for artificial rainfall at Shili Camp. Let's do some work." It rains in a small area, so farmers can check whether the weather is accurate.”
"..."
"no?"
"No, I mean, are you too prepared?"
"There's no way, I'm facing ADM."
"Can Shili Camp take off and land heavy transport aircraft?"
"The road has been repaired and is 220 meters wide. It has one complete runway on the east side and two complete runways on the west side, and the green belt has been removed in the middle. Let alone two takeoffs and landings, even if the Beijing Tigers bring the third one that is about to be delivered, we can still Take off at the same time.”
"Since you can't stop the car and you have such an awesome plan, let's go for it!"
…
It's night.
Many cities in the Central Plains issued weather warnings at 1 a.m.
It will be windy and rainy in the next month.
At the same time, in the corner of Yaoqiang Airport, two Y8 transport planes were preparing to take off with the ground crew busy.
An hour later.
Sanyuan Agriculture held a press conference and announced a total donation of 500 million blue notes to many surrounding cities.
They are used to consolidate the Yellow River, build the Pingdong Lake embankment, and dredge the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal...
What is not known is that the giant sluice between the Yellow River and Xiaoqing River is slowly raised.
The rolling water of the Yellow River poured into Pingdong Lake, and the lake level, which had been declining for half a year, began to rise.
At the same time, the 16 sluice gates around Pingdong Lake also began to be raised...
3am.
After connecting to Laigang City, the two hundred-mile-long Shiliying Street is brightly lit.
Countless flat rail cars, loaded with sand, gravel and cement, are rushing endlessly...
Even the abandoned Lai Iron and Steel Railway was temporarily requisitioned.
4am.
Vegetable sellers carry fruits and vegetables in all directions with transport trucks, trains, or driving alone.
…
5am.
Weather warnings accompanied by repeated broadcasts on the radio.
The night is turning white, and the storm is coming.
Old man Wei from Huanggai Township in Jishui County was sitting on the Zhaowang River embankment, holding a dry pipe in his mouth and staring at the river.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night last night, Wei Dameng, who was doing odd jobs in Sanyuan Agriculture, called the village canteen.
His tone was anxious, and he told his mother to go to higher ground, preferably to Xiaomeng Mountain in the county.
The store owner didn't know why. After repeated inquiries, he found out that the north side was fighting floods.
Soon, the village cadres took the lead in taking action.
While discussing how to dig earth to build embankments and how to dig trenches to prevent floods, they sent people to inquire about the situation in the north.
As the deputy director, Wei Laohan was sent to inspect the dike.
for a long time.
The measuring rod inserted into the river water was vaguely buried by one millimeter.
A long time passed.
The measuring tape was buried by a full centimeter!
"The water is rising!"
other side.
There was no news about the flood, but Huanggaixiang welcomed giant combine harvesters, heavy transport vehicles, and a Jinbei Sea Lion.
Immediately afterwards, the loudspeakers in each village sounded again.
“It’s time to harvest soybeans!”
"Sanyuan Agriculture is here to harvest soybeans!"
"Go to the village committee to collect the money. First, it will be calculated based on a guaranteed yield of 450 kilograms per mu!"
"Don't be crowded, there are all available, remember to bring the contract for receiving the bean seeds!"
"Those who have received the money, keep the receipt, otherwise you will not be able to get the Trinity bean seeds in the next crop."
Just then.
Old Man Wei's grandson ran back to the village out of breath.
"The water is rising!"
"The Zhaowang River has swollen!"
Along with the shouting, the villagers who got up early to go to the market also brought back the news spread by the vegetable sellers.
It's raining heavily in the north, and it's said that there will be another flood...
"Let the harvester go to the ground quickly!"
"Can't get in, the road is narrow."
"Fill the ditch!"
"What should I do if I get wet?"
"dig again, hurry up, help me!"
…
Jishui, Jinxiang.
Two planes that looked like airliners flew across the sky.
The originally cloudy dome suddenly began to rain heavily.
Garlic seedlings everywhere become greener under the influence of rain.
The farmers who got up early to weed the grass rushed home cursing.
"Young man, the weather forecast is so inaccurate. Yesterday evening, it was said that it will be cloudy and sunny today."
"It's not that it's inaccurate, it's very accurate. The radio said in the morning that it was going to rain locally, and I thought it wasn't us."
"Hey, you didn't watch the news?"
"When I get up, I go to the ground. I don't have time to watch the news."
"Let's go back and take a look. People in the north are starting to fight floods."
At this time.
Heavy-duty transport trucks carrying bags of sand and gravel rushed to the Wanfu River in the distance.
"Are you really going to get wet? Hey, what are you doing running so fast? You're all wet anyway."
"Go to the canteen and call. My old father-in-law contracted 50 acres of soybeans from them."
"Fuck, my second aunt's family also contracted dozens of acres of soybeans."
…
Xiangjiang, ADM Asia Pacific Headquarters.
"Madam, Sanyuan Agriculture has begun to harvest soybeans."
Mrs. Smith was still asleep when she suddenly received a report from her subordinate.
Including the operation of weather warnings.
He picked up the desk calendar on the bedside and looked at it, "It's only been 85 days. Is the first batch of Sany soybeans mature?"
"According to our research, the seeding period of Sany soybeans is 70 to 80 days, and then they begin to senescence, or in other words, the remaining 20 days are when the pods are dried on the plants. Sanyuan Agriculture is harvesting now, and then the soybean branches are placed Drying on the farm can also complete threshing.”
"The little guy is too wary."
Mrs. Smith sighed and walked into the office in her pajamas.
Then he rummaged through the filing cabinet for a while and pulled out a few copies. Including those that have been deployed to bribe local people to burn soybeans, use controlled soybean oil factories to snap up Sany soybeans in advance, prevent Sanyuan Agriculture from harvesting soybeans, and instigate villagers in some areas to increase Sany soybean production...
Total funding: 50 million blue giant banknotes.
Compared with the value of Sany soybeans, this amount of funding seems very small.
But in some villages in Jishui, if you give an idle man 2,000 yuan, he will buy a few barrels of gasoline and burn the soybeans in the entire township.
So 50 million can do a lot of things in the East.
"What a pity!"
Mrs. Smith, throw the copy into the shredder.
Immediately he took out the plan for eating people with Sany soybean oil.
Yu Sanyuan's reaction, especially the operation of the weather warning, forced her to seriously consider the feasibility of this plan.
The first is whether it will anger Dongfang’s superiors.
The second is whether relevant news will be suppressed by several cities in the Central Plains.
The third is whether Yu Sanyuan will give himself a more ferocious counterattack.
After all, the other party can even provide weather warnings.
If ADM concocted the incident of Sany soybean oil eating people to death, and Yu Sanyuan was so angry that he asked tens of thousands of old men and women from all over the country to surround Arowana, and even lay corpses in the grain and oil company controlled by ADM, it would be great fun.
"This matter is subject to discussion."
The assistant nodded and reported other work: "Madam, soybean prices remain high, which has made many countries in Central Asia and Europe very dissatisfied. Many places have given up on soybean orders this year. If prices are not lowered, the advisory group is worried that more orders will be lost. ”
“How many orders have been lost so far?”
"About a fifth."
"Wait a little longer, at least until Sanyuan Agriculture has harvested all the Sany soybeans before we can lower the price."
…
South of Pingdong County, Jishuiwen County.
The sun was shining brightly and the dust was 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 was wearing flowery pants, an old man's shirt, and a toad mirror that covered half of his face. He 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 at their feet. They were surrounded by more than fifty spearmen wearing military vests and military camouflage pants.
"Director Yu, the harvest of 16,000 acres of soybeans in Xiaowangzhuang has been completed, and the villagers have also received guaranteed payment, and no one is gossiping."
"Director Yu, the harvest of 30,000 acres of soybeans in Houyanglou has been completed, and all the villagers have received guaranteed payment. Everything is fine now."
"Director Yu, Li Lou has 18,000 acres of soybeans..."
In fact, all this information has been summarized to the local township compound, and then to the county seat, and then to the city manager.
But when the village chiefs were pulled over and faced with the legendary leader, they didn't know 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'm here for no other reason."
As he said that, he picked up a stack of blue Great Man banknotes and patted them in his hand, "I just want to reward you all. In this way, you can take as much as you can without using your pocket."
"???"
"After getting it, everyone goes back to their homes. If someone's child fails to get into college, come to me. It's a bit difficult to get one, but no problem to the second. If anyone's child wants to find a job, come to me and I can arrange any position. And you Well, from now on, drink less, study more, do good things for me, and take money from me with peace of mind, it’s that simple... Okay, let’s start grabbing!”
Even so, there was a circle of strong men standing around, and no village chief dared to take action.
Yu Yang immediately waved his hand, signaling the spearmen to follow him elsewhere.
And wait for him to leave.
More than 20 local village chiefs rushed forward.
Either pull, tug, drag, or twist, just to grab more blue giant coins.
Of course, no one dared to carry it in a pocket, they all carried it in their arms.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Fuck you, you bastard Village Chief Wanglou, give me back my 30,000 yuan!"
Not long after.
There was a lot of discussion in every village that received the news.
"Damn it, if I had known that being the village chief would be such a good thing, I lost all my money last year, so I still wanted to buy a ticket."
"It's too late to say anything."
"It's actually not too late. Let's keep an eye on him and send him in. Our brothers will have a chance to become village chiefs."
"Wouldn't it be better to kill him?"
"He has a name in Sanyuan Agriculture. You want to kill him. You can't hide it. Do you think it was only two years ago that no one will care about us if we do something wrong?"
…
On the south side of Pingyang County, Da'an Town, Yanzhou, Jishui.
"Hu Bing, 6.6 acres, guaranteed yield of 450 kilograms per mu, market price per kilogram is 1.25 cents, totaling 3712.5 yuan, excluding the cost of 8 kilograms of bean seeds per mu, which is 5 yuan per kilogram, 264 yuan, the actual income is 3448.5 yuan , do you want cash, or credit union transfer?”
"cash."
"Sign, press your fingerprint, take this note, and go to the side to get the money."
"Really give it all to me?"
"It's been so long and I'm still whining."
"Will you still let me plant next year?"
"When you receive the money, keep the other note. If you are willing to continue planting Sany soybeans next year, take these two notes to Sanyuan Fast Food in the county to collect soybean seeds."
"Okay, okay."
Hu Bing happily signed and pressed his fingerprints, and soon received 3,448.5 yuan.
He left the village committee, bought a bottle of Kongfujia liquor that Jishui produced for tourism this year, and a pack of luxury cigarettes, and returned home happily.
Before showing off the 34 banknotes, my wife suddenly took out nine notes.
"What is this?"
"There are still eight expenses for this year's public rations."
Hu Bing picked it up, took a look, and then scratched it with his fingers on the ground to count...
"Master, what are you packing for?"
"Go to Ten Mile Camp."
"Where are you going?"
"I'll find a job there, which will be enough to support the two of us. Once we get used to it, you can find a casual job as well, and then take your parents and children over."
"What should I do?"
"No more."
"Where's the food supply?"
"No more."
"This is our house?"
"We can't throw it away here. Besides, the money from soybean cultivation is enough to rent a big house there. If we live there for twenty years, according to the regulations of the factory area, the house will be ours."
"Can it be done?"
"What else? I've been working hard for a whole year, and I finally have two dollars in my pocket. I've lost all nine bills, and I have at most 600 yuan left. What can I do? I work odd jobs in Shiliying, and I can earn more than this in a month. "
Hu Bing said, his eyes red, and he drank half a bottle of white wine in one gulp, "Are you going?"
The mother-in-law was worried about being beaten, "I will listen to you."
"Walk!"
…
Ten Mile Camp.
The newly built main road was not only filled with soybeans, but also crowded with people coming from all over.
Some are alone, some are bringing their families, and some are driving farm machinery loaded with furniture...
The Three Musketeers of the Street Office were so busy that they were sweating profusely.
The person in charge of the publicity system, who was also the former director of the Investment Promotion Office, asked, "Old Huang, why are so many people here?"
While greeting the staff to register, Mayor Huang responded: "Maybe I have to hand over food supplies."
"Fleeing?"
"How do you speak? Can you speak?"
"Oh... but we have just settled the whole town with plastic greenhouses, what should we do?"
"Xiaoqinghe, open up the Xiaoqinghe community."
"Isn't that a breeding farm over there?"
"Soybeans are harvested, soybean oil is mass-produced, and feed is almost ready for the market. Xiao Dong of the pig farm and Mr. Gu of the cattle farm are waiting. Once the two factories are fully operational, a lot of labor will be needed, and then there is the pasture. People are also needed, and maybe a plastic greenhouse planting area in Xiaoqinghe will be built.”
"How to place it?"
"Continue to use residential-type steel structure plastic greenhouses. I have contacted Sanyuan Construction and can deliver a batch tomorrow morning... Hey, there are smokers over there. Let them extinguish them. If they smoke again, they will be beaten. If the soybeans are burned, the whole street will be destroyed. Everyone needs to drink from the northwest wind."
…
Three days later.
The newly built main road has been completely transformed into a soybean drying ground.
The highways including Buddha Temple 384, Shiliying 385, Quanpu 386, Liangxian 387, and Jiaxian 388 sections are also being used rationally.
The two Y8 transport planes that came and left were once again stranded at Yaoqiang Airport.
When Yu Yang returned from the outside, the first thing he faced was not the hundreds of thousands of new people, but...
"Director Yu, the price of soybeans has dropped. The futures market has plummeted by two-thirds, and the spot market has plummeted by half."
"As expected."
"The price of Arowana soybean oil has dropped to 2.5 yuan per liter."
"Two dollars and five?"
One liter of soybean oil is approximately equal to 1.85 pounds.
Although the oil yield of extracted oil depends on the soybean variety, the oil yield of genetically modified soybeans used to produce oil will basically not be less than 45%.
A rough calculation shows that 1.85 kilograms of soybean oil requires 4 kilograms of soybeans.
Including production costs, according to the previous soybean price, the cost of 1 liter of soybean oil is less than 5 yuan.
The Sany soybean oil that I will sell soon will also cost 5 yuan a liter.
But the other party sold it for 2 yuan and 5...
"Find a way to make them lower their level."
