"You are the police, right? Well, I just told you about this. We are the local planting cooperative. Well, is it strange that we can't sell any of the subsidized high-priced grain collected by the grain depot every autumn? It’s only those companies that can sell it, so tell me what’s going on. No one bothers us when we sue people from above, and no one bothers us when we make trouble from below.”
At the Zhangcun Cooperative, Wang Zhaokai learned more information.
There was a conference room set aside for Lu Chuan and others in the Mawang Town Police Station.
Wang Zhaokai and others from several larger cooperatives in the town have sent people to understand the situation and gathered some information, which made Wang Zhaokai feel that there was something going on here.
At this moment, Wang Zhaokai was reporting to Lu Chuan some of the situations he had learned, and then added some of his own analysis.
"The most important households in the town, namely these rural cooperatives, generally have two business models."
According to what we know so far, there are a total of 14 operating cooperatives in the town.
Each of these 14 rural cooperatives cultivates tens of thousands of acres of land.
Judging from the current investigation, there are two main business models among these 14 cooperatives. The first one is operated by foreign investment.
This kind of foreign investment includes Haizhou City and some southern provinces. Those who came here were some agricultural supplies companies or agricultural trade companies investing in farming.
Under normal circumstances, these cooperatives have their own grain purchase channels, which means that the grain they sell after planting the land every year is average. Not through the grain depot, nor through some grain merchants in Mawang Town.
"They plant different cash crops according to contracts every year, and then in the fall, corresponding partners will come to purchase these grains."
Wang Zhaokailuo listed eight of the rural cooperatives. These eight cooperatives basically have this business model and are managed by locals, but generally the bosses are outsiders.
"There are also six rural cooperatives that are all locally organized. Some are in the form of village collectives, leasing all the land in one or two villages, and then planting and selling them uniformly."
“Others make individual investments in their own name or bring together a few people to invest in a partnership to establish a rural cooperative, then lease the land from farmers, and then connect it into tracts for large-scale unified planting.”
When Wang Zhaokai investigated his problem, it appeared in these local rural cooperatives.
These local rural cooperatives are different from those with foreign investment. The grain they produce can only be sold through their own channels, and there are no contract companies or other partners to actively purchase it.
And due to the special environmental climate in Haizhou City, generally Haizhou City can only grow one season of food a year, and the main crops are corn and soybeans.
On the one hand, planting corn and soybeans can be easily adjusted back and forth in two years. In addition, the subsidies for corn and soybeans are relatively high.
The subsidy here is not a price subsidy for purchasing grain, but every year the local government in Haizhou City provides planting subsidies to farmers who grow corn and soybeans.
Based on the post-subsidized prices, the profit per acre of corn and soybeans is about 1,000 yuan.
Although the yield of soybeans is relatively low, generally speaking, the yield of one mu of land is about 400 kilograms.
But the price of soybeans is relatively high. Generally speaking, soybeans can be sold for about two yuan per kilogram.
In addition, for planting soybeans per acre, the government will subsidize 300 yuan, so the income from soybeans per acre is about 1,000 yuan.
Comparatively speaking, the yield of corn planting is relatively large. The yield per mu is usually around 1,000 kilograms, but its price is relatively low. The price in US dollars is generally between 8 cents and 9 cents, but its subsidy price is also relatively low. , the planting price subsidy should not exceed 100 yuan per mu of land. Therefore, the income from the two plantings is basically the same.
“Because the local rural cooperative has no other partners, the crops it grows are basically corn and soybeans and no other crops are grown.”
According to Wang Zhaokai's investigation, the other eight cooperatives sometimes grow red beans or black beans and other comparisons. Niche cash crops.
The economic value of these cash crops is higher, the unit price is also higher, and the yields are sometimes large, so the benefits are very considerable. However, because local rural cooperatives do not have sales channels in this area, most of them grow corn and soybeans.
"Generally speaking, these two crops can only be sold to grain depots, but the local cooperative does not have indicators for the grain depots to purchase new grain every autumn."
index?
Lu Chuan immediately grasped the key points of Wang Zhaokai's report.
Wang Zhaokai nodded.
"Yes, it's an indicator!"
The crux of the problem seems to also appear in this indicator.
According to what Wang Chaokai learned, there is a new grain acquisition quota every year during the autumn harvest at the Mawang Town Grain Depot, and this so-called quota is assigned by superiors.
"Because every autumn harvest, the state subsidizes new grains according to relevant policies to prevent farmers from losing money. Therefore, generally speaking, the purchase price of grain depots is higher than that of grain merchants outside."
But the crux of the problem is that not everyone can obtain the grain purchase quota of the grain depot.
Only people with connections and connections can get these grain purchase quotas, and Wang Zhaokai and the others probably investigated it.
The so-called grain purchase indicators of the Mawang Town Grain Depot are approximately 3.5 million tons per year.
"When we checked the accounts at the grain depot, we didn't quite know what these indicators meant, but people from these cooperatives probably understood it once they explained it. There are about 3.5 million tons of new grains in the Mawang Town grain depot a year. Grain purchase targets, and all 3 million tons of them were taken away by those three grain merchants.”
Many grain purchase quotas were taken away by three grain merchants who purchased grain, and most of them were not criticized much.
After all, these three grain merchants who purchase grain are also responsible for purchasing the old grain in the grain depot every year, and they all purchase it at a price higher than the market price.
A few people from the Economic Crime Investigation Department of the New City Branch also came over and roughly checked the relevant accounts.
In fact, the grain prices that these grain dealers can get through subsidized prices and the losses they generate from purchasing old grains are basically flat.
"At most there are some meager profits, but not much."
Because most of the new grain purchase quotas were taken away by these three large-scale merchants, some other rural cooperatives simply could not get the remaining 500,000 tons of grain purchase quotas. (End of chapter)
