Chapter 66 Confrontation
Compared with Shazhou Seed Industry, Tianhe Seed Industry's only obvious advantage is sufficient cash flow and flexible use of funds.

However, it is far behind in terms of the seed production base management system and other aspects, and there are no convincing results.

Shazhou Seed Industry is different. It has nearly 40,000 acres of corn seed production bases and 50,000 acres of fruit and vegetable seed production bases in Jinta and Jiuquan.

It has a great influence in the local area, and many people know that it is profitable to produce seeds for Shazhou Seed Industry.

Seeing Xie Fanglin being humiliated in front of Village Chief Lu and others, everyone in Tianhe was secretly happy.

However, this also made Guo Yang realize a problem.

The leadership of Hekou Village has a certain credibility, as evidenced by their willingness to wait until Shazhou Seeds arrives before showing up.

But it is not completely inflexible, and it is not as rigid as Tianhe employees say.

At least Guo Yang thinks it is better than Lao Xiang.

After being rebuked, Xie Fanglin remained silent. He also realized that this was a seller's market.

Now that someone has taken over Hekou Village, we feel more confident.

As the villagers dispersed, Xie Fanglin asked Lao Cao quietly, "Have you arranged it?"

Lao Cao made a gesture as if everything was under control, and then glanced vaguely in a certain direction.

Xie Fanglin also felt relieved.

There were not many households in the village. After the rest of the villagers left, only twenty or thirty people were left to be the heads of the households.

The village committee had no meeting room, not enough stools, and the weather was cold, so they had to light a stove in the yard.

Most of those who stayed were men.

The phenomenon of favoring boys over girls in rural Longnan Province cannot be said to be very serious, but it is reflected all the time.

More than 80% of the only children are boys, and the phenomenon of men beating women is also common. The more remote the place, the more so. The cultural customs are not good.

In later generations, more and more young people are unwilling to come back, and they have a love-hate relationship with it.

I like its beautiful mountains and rivers, and I also like the desert and Gobi of the Hexi Corridor and the majestic Qilian Mountains.

I don't like his prevalence of bureaucracy and the complicated relationships.

People with connections thrive here, while people without connections have trouble getting anywhere.

Village chief Lu Zhaoqiang signaled for silence when he saw that most villagers had gathered.

"Originally, our village was going to sign a seed production contract with Shazhou Seed Industry, but the superior leaders gave new instructions and recommended Tianhe Seed Industry to us. I believe that the villagers have also come into contact with Tianhe's village staff in the past few days."

"Shazhou and Tianhe have basically figured out our situation. I think if we stay for a few more days, maybe even the girls in the village will be kidnapped."

"Hahaha..." Some villagers burst into laughter, but some young men and women looked unhappy.

Especially Guo Yang, he already felt several pairs of eyes falling on him.

Injustice!

Isn't he just a little more handsome?
To be honest, after this period of recuperation, Guo Yang's spirit and energy have improved a lot. Coupled with the change in temperament, he is also quite attractive to women.

But he doesn't have time to flirt with little girls lately.

Thinking of this, Guo Yang was even more impressed with the young technician.

Very good, you are ahead of the boss.

Lu Zhaoqiang also smiled and said, "Seed production is related to the livelihood of all villagers next year. We old men can't make decisions on our own. Today, while the CEOs of Shazhou Seed and Tianhe Seed are here, we will decide on this matter on the spot."

"Shazhou Seeds and Tianhe Seeds will each introduce their contract plans to us. The villagers will go home and discuss after listening. We will vote on it tomorrow morning."

What a smart guy!

Guo Yang was somewhat impressed by the Hekou Village Committee's bold move.

Put the two seed companies in open competition.

Considering the feud between Shazhou Seed and Tianhe Seed, wouldn't the price be driven up to the sky?

Yan Qun stood up first and said, "I will just tell you our Tianhe plan."

"The contract was signed with the villagers in the form of entrustment, and the seed production contract, quality standards, quantity, price, purchase and payment time were all stipulated."

"Secondly, we will set up a special technical team to be responsible for emasculation technology, pollination technology, marking technology and bud selection..."

A villager interrupted, "Boss Yan, who wants to hear you talk about this? Just tell me the price!"

"That's right, that's right. I get annoyed when I see you technicians. You always think about the girls in the village."

Yan Qun smiled and said, "As for the purchase price of seeds, corn seeds are purchased at 2.5 times the market price of corn, and the purchase price of pepper seeds is about 12 yuan per kilogram."

Many villagers calculated their accounts seriously, but since most of them were not well educated, they were still mysteriously confident when calculating their accounts.

Everyone from Tianhe and Shazhou Seed Industry was stunned by what they heard.

2002年的玉米收购价最高也就在0.55元左右浮动，2.5倍就算做是1.4元，假如亩产1000斤种子，也就是1400元的收益。

The yield of pepper seeds per mu is about 120 kilograms, and the profit can reach about 1440 yuan.

The main cost inputs include seeds, fertilizers, ground film, pesticides, water fees, agricultural machinery investment, etc., and labor costs and agricultural taxes are also taken into account. The total investment is about 420 yuan per mu.

The net income per mu is nearly 1000 yuan!
You know what, the calculation is quite detailed and every aspect is taken into consideration.

You really dare to dream that the yield per mu is only 1000 kilograms of corn seeds and 120 kilograms of pepper seeds.

Given the conditions in Hekou Village, corn seeds can yield 600 kilograms per mu, and pepper seeds can yield 70 kilograms per mu, which is considered a great effort.

The villagers didn't care whether the calculation was correct or not and discussed it excitedly.

“I knew that seed production could make money, but I didn’t expect it to be so profitable.”

"Didn't a seed company come here two years ago? Why didn't they produce seeds then? How much money have they lost in the past two years?"

"Hey, I was the one who found that subsidiary company, but the village chief disagreed, so we ended up going to the next village."

"Tianhe's price is very sincere, why don't you just agree to it."

Seeing the villagers' ignorant looks, Du Youcai became a little anxious.

"It is an industry practice that the seed purchase price is 2.5 times the commercial grain price. The price offered by Shazhou Seeds will definitely not be lower than this. Right, Mr. Xie?"

"Of course, 2.5 times is the minimum standard." Xie Fanglin reacted. This Du Youcai must be the person arranged by Lao Cao.

The villagers' attention was instantly diverted.

"Yes, Shazhou Seeds has not yet announced their plan?"

"I remember that the price reported by Shazhou Seed Industry last time was not 2.5 times. Did it increase temporarily?"

Xie Fanglin couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth. If Tianhe hadn't suddenly appeared, I wouldn't have bothered with you.

He pulled Lao Cao's arm and said, "Lao Cao, go and tell him."

Lao Cao thought to himself, let me take the blame, you are really something.

But a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death, so Lao Cao could only stand up with a smile on his face.

"We plan to use the seed production base in Hekou Village for export seed production. We have already signed an order with Hannong in South Korea and have received an advance payment."

"After the company's research and decision, Shazhou Seed Industry can advance the villagers' initial costs of seeds, fertilizers and mulch."

"It means that you don't need to invest any cost in the early stage, you just need to take care of the seed fields, and then our cost in the early stage will be deducted from the seed payment."

The villagers started to communicate with each other again, and seemed to be interested in investing in the seed industry in Shazhou.

Yan Qun said calmly at this time: "We at Tianhe can also advance the initial costs."

Lao Cao immediately blurted out, "We can advance part of the seed money."

The villagers were a little stunned.

Instead, Lu Zhaoqiang, Lu Dayong and Du Youcai were watching the show calmly from the sidelines.

This is the result they want, to let the two sides fight.

I was a little surprised when I heard about the advance payment for the seed.

Why didn't they think of paying in advance? It seemed to open the door to a new world for them.

When Guo Yang saw this scene, he suddenly lost interest.

It’s better to build your own base, there won’t be so much trouble!
It's time to speed up the construction of the agricultural machinery factory. With seed production machinery, we can build bases in sparsely populated areas.

When Yan Qun was about to increase his bet, he noticed Guo Yang standing up and walking towards him.

So he gave up his position.

Everyone looked at this scene in confusion.

"I'm the boss of Tianhe Seed Industry."

"Tianhe can also prepay the seed farmers, but this cannot solve the fundamental problem."

“Hekou Village will remain poor.”

"Bachelor men still can't find wives, and married daughters don't want to come back."
