Chapter 50: Recruiting again
After finishing the call with Yu Honghai, Guo Yang felt relieved.
He actually thought that Yu Honghai would run away with the 500 million deposit.
Fortunately, after more than a month of waiting, the agricultural machinery is finally arriving.
However, Jinta is too far away from the port of Shandong Province. The whole journey is more than 1,900 kilometers, and it takes at least three days for logistics to deliver the goods.
All we can do is wait!
After watering the seed fields, Guo Yang prepared to return to the city.
He is still needed to preside over the seed base, land use approval, personnel recruitment, Beijing Investment Company, and even the preparation of the planned agricultural machinery factory.
Fortunately, with the help of headhunting companies, Muhe’s personnel structure is gradually being improved.
As for Beijing Weiguang Investment Management Company, under Guo Yang's suggestion, General Manager Yang Cheng gradually completed the establishment of long positions in soybean futures as early as the end of July.
Guo Yang knows a little about futures and has played with futures for a while, but he only dares to say that he understands the basic rules.
It is also because of this that he understands that futures are a double-edged sword. With the help of leverage, it can make people rich overnight, but it can also make people lose everything in an instant.
But he is familiar with the historical trends and knows that soybean futures will continue to rise steadily in the next one or two years.
Therefore, the instructions he gave to Yang Cheng were very old-fashioned: control the margin ratio and continue to go long on the main contracts.
Yang Cheng has also been following Guo Yang's instructions.
Since entering the market, soybean futures have been slowly climbing, and Weiguang Investment's assets have also been rising steadily.
As the impact of the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Genetically Modified Organisms" gradually spreads, the amount of soybeans imported into the country has decreased significantly.
As a result, after the end of July, the supply of soybean in the national spot market was extremely tight and the spot price soared.
In the past two days, the United States has released news that the production of new beans will be greatly reduced due to drought.
But global demand remains strong...
The popularity of long contracts in the soybean market continues to rise. Yang Cheng, who has been in the futures industry for many years, has smelled a momentum that is ready to take off.
On his way back, Guo Yang was stopped by Hou Huaijie and others.
All of them had sad faces, as if they had lost all their money in gambling.
"Mr. Guo, it's already mid-August. Even if we work overtime these few days, there are still nearly 40,000 acres of land that have not been plowed and dried. It's too difficult!"
"All the machines that can be used are put into use. The overtime is too severe. Two of my excavator drivers have left."
"Can we relax the time for this special plot of land? It won't have much impact if we plant the seeds half a month later."
"If it doesn't work, we can plant these plots of land next year. If we rush to finish the project, the quality will be hard to guarantee."
"When will the two imported Fendt tractors arrive?"
Listening to everyone's complaints, Guo Yang couldn't help but frown.
Logically speaking, the construction party should find solutions themselves when encountering engineering obstacles, but considering that the construction units are all agricultural reclamation units or local tyrants, and this group of people have indeed worked hard.
You can see that they are working overtime every day.
In addition, he was very strict about the contract price, the project progress was also very strict, and he also recruited a group of young people with high enthusiasm to supervise the quality...
Why is it that the more I think about it, the more it seems like he's wrong?
He is indeed a person who lives a good life!
I liked saving money in my previous life, and even though I am rich in this life, I still like to be thrifty.
However, extending the project progress is really difficult.
According to his and Lao Xiang's plan, the latest sowing time of alfalfa cannot be later than September, and the earlier the better.
Therefore, the latest acceptance date for the saline-alkali land improvement project is set in early September, leaving 20 days for sowing, and sowing must be completed before October at the latest.
Because the average temperature in Jiuquan in early October is only 10 or 0 degrees, and the lowest temperature at night can reach degrees. Under low temperature conditions, alfalfa sprouts and grows very slowly, and it is impossible to store enough energy for the winter before winter.
It is true that the temperature in Jiuquan is over 30 degrees below zero in winter. Late-sown alfalfa seedlings may be frozen to death on a large scale in winter.
The 20-day sowing period can no longer be compressed.
One operator and one machine can sow 250 mu of land a day. To complete the sowing of 20 mu of land in 20 days, at least 400 seeding machines are needed!
There are definitely not enough seed drills, so manual sowing will have to be done simultaneously.
One thing leads to another, and Guo Yang has no room to make concessions to Hou Huaijie and others.
"Boss Hou, I know you guys have been working hard, so let's do this. In addition to the incentive plan proposed by Lao Xiang, I will give all managers and drivers a red envelope after the project is completed!"
"Also, the two Fendts will be arriving soon. I will then modify the deep tillage plow and assemble more plowshares to increase the speed even more."
Guo Yang did not linger any longer and signaled the driver, Lao Song, to drive away quickly with his eyes.
How could he, Party A, be stopped by Party B?
Even if the project is really forced to be postponed, he can accept it. Just like someone said just now, the land that has not been improved can be planted next year.
But he couldn't agree to make concessions, this was the dignity of Party A's father!
After Guo Yang left, Hou Huaijie and a few others gathered together sighing.
"What should we do? Guo Baopi will definitely deduct money if the project progress is delayed."
"He dares!"
"You are a farming company, so of course you have the confidence, but we are just a small local company, and we are still thinking of getting some money from the alfalfa project to pay out year-end bonuses!"
"Alas, I don't know if those two Fendts can help."
"From what he said, he's planning to assemble a few more plowshares. Do you think it will be useful, Old Hou?"
"It is certainly useful, but it is impossible to finish it in a few days!" After saying this, Hou Huaijie from Xinjiang Agricultural Reclamation Bureau pursed his lips unnaturally.
When he thought of the stone-picking machine that Guo Yang brought, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
……
Jiuquan, glorious seed industry.
Guo Yang said goodbye to the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile, then turned and walked into the office of the general manager of Huihuang Seed Industry.
Outside the door, Duan Haitao, who was over 40 years old, looked at Guo Yang strangely as he closed the door.
He had heard that the head of the newly established Alfalfa Agriculture was a young man, but he didn't expect him to be so young.
She looks like she’s less than 30 years old!
Moreover, a few days ago, someone from a headhunting company contacted him and said that Alfalfa Agriculture wanted to invite him to be responsible for the organizational construction of the seed production base.
But when he thought that his former boss Xiang Tianshan was also in Muhe, he hesitated for a moment.
During its heyday, Xiang Tianshan was in charge of technology as the technical director, while he was in charge of seed production as the production manager.
He was afraid that after going to Muhe, he would still bow down to the Tianshan Mountains.
He is not convinced!
Duan Haitao believes that he is as good as Xiang Tianshan in seed production technology and other aspects, except for the project materials.
I didn’t expect that Muhe’s boss would come to Huihuang today and contact him on his own initiative.
Wait, he entered Old Wu’s office!
Are you trying to poach Old Wu as well?
No way!
