Chapter 519 515. New Way of Cooperation
Sichuan Province has always been a major potato-producing province. With a planting area of ​​more than 1900 million mu and a total output of more than 2700 million tons, it leads the country in this field.

There is a market, an industry and support.

Therefore, the scientific and technological support is also very strong, and the Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences has potato research projects.

The same is true for the Mianyang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which is involved in planting, maintenance, storage and processing.

The most important thing, of course, is variety.

Now I suddenly see something that tastes so sweet and has such a unique texture. It is obviously a good thing.

And it’s right in front of you, how can you let it run away!

Luo Yihang and Wang Shaopeng were invited to a conference room.

Tea was poured, specialties from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences were laid out, the person in charge came out, and the experts arrived.

Let's sit down and have a chat together, it will deepen our relationship.

After we started chatting, the implicit meaning of their conversation was about cooperation, joint development, and complementary strengths.

Even though Luo Yihang had already said that the yield of this kind of sweet potato was not high, the yield per mu was only two thousand kilograms.

People from Mianyang Academy of Agricultural Sciences also said they didn't mind.

"Mr. Luo, think about it this way. The yield of a variety when it first comes out is different from the yield that can be achieved after the planting technology is improved."

"For example, Shangshu 19 is a kind of sweet potato that is widely planted here. When we first started regional experiments in , the yield per mu was only kilograms. But in , after we got to know its characteristics, the yield per mu easily reached to kilograms, and kilograms was common."

As expected, it is an agricultural science academy that studies sweet potatoes, the data can be readily provided.

Luo Yihang was a little surprised: "Is it that exaggerated? It has more than doubled. Moreover, it takes more than ten years?"

"That was in the past." The person from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences waved his hand. "In the early 2000s, the technology of early breeding and early planting had not yet been developed. Sweet potatoes could only be harvested once a year, so it naturally took longer. It's different now. Now we can harvest twice a year, and the time is reduced by half."

Then people said that the level of output is determined by variety, which is one aspect and determines the baseline.

Whether the yield is higher or lower than this line depends on the soil, light, climate, pest and disease control, and planting techniques.

Mianyang Academy of Agricultural Sciences has all of the above.

The word "cooperation" is just short of being written on his face.

Since they were all acquaintances and also cooperative units, it was difficult for Luo Yihang to refuse.

So I called Wenying first and told her about the situation.

Wenying doesn't care. She only takes care of breeding and leaves it alone once the seeds are grown. It is all Luo Yihang's business how to cooperate and promote the seeds.

She is worry-free.

Wang Shaopeng suddenly asked, "Boss Luo, you are selling these sweet potatoes, right? How much are they?"

Luo Yihang replied: "I sell processed ones, 25 yuan per pound."

Wang Shaopeng nodded, pretending to understand something. "The retail price of raw potatoes is about 10 yuan, and the price at the farm gate is at least 3 or 4 yuan per pound. One crop costs 6,000 to 7,000 yuan, and two crops a year means tens of thousands."

Luo Yihang's eyes rolled and he understood that Wang Shaopeng was inclined to cooperate with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Luo Yihang was also inclined to do so, so he added: "My sales are pretty good. I planted 100 mu and harvested 200,000 kilograms. The ones that came in the middle of the month will be sold out by the end of the month. The market is quite receptive."

"Yes, it is a good thing after all. People nowadays are willing to spend money on food and drink." Wang Shaopeng responded immediately.

The two of them were singing the same tune, asking for benefits and negotiating conditions.

Cooperation should be mutually beneficial and help each other.

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences was also very happy.

We can set aside three experimental fields, totaling more than 400 acres, invest manpower and material resources, and provide technical support to Wang Shaopeng.

Moreover, there is no need to introduce early breeding and early planting technology, as the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is responsible for seedling cultivation. They have everything ready and sufficient experience.

This includes the seedlings from Deyang that Wang Shaopeng has come to rely on, and they can provide 700 acres of seedlings.

The condition is that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences must share its planting experience and data, as well as have priority in introducing new species.

Luo Yihang added another priority purchase of sweet potatoes grown. Overall, it is a mutually beneficial relationship.

If he cooperates with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wang Shaopeng won't have to worry this time. He can copy the model used when Wandou was popular and make some quick money. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences will take care of the technology.

His current career direction is not agricultural technology, but he has become an agricultural businessman.

The benefit Luo Yihang got was the supply of raw materials. Things are different now than in the past. Seven or eight hundred acres and one million and five hundred thousand to six hundred thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes can still be digested.

Moreover, the breeding rights still belong to Luo Yihang, and no one can take them away.

Although the Mianyang Academy of Agricultural Sciences has invested so much, it can fully recoup its investment and make a huge profit by obtaining the priority right to introduce new species.

And earn twice.

Local agricultural science academies, which receive local financial grants, have an obligation to give back to the local area.

Priority will be given to introducing new varieties, and once the planting techniques have been figured out, they can be planted locally first. They know very well how much money an excellent new variety can make in the initial stage.

This is the achievement and the meaning of the existence of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

In addition, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences also provides agricultural technical services, consulting and training; it can also transform research results and sell agricultural products.

In the first year, Luo Yihang bought all the products and made money.

If Luo Yihang couldn’t collect all of them later, they could sell them themselves and make money.

There are many benefits.
-
This cooperation is equivalent to the first regional trial planting conducted by Wang Shaopeng in Deyang at the beginning of the year.

The difference is that it only takes a few dozen days for peas to grow.

The process of making Tang Dun Dun is long, maybe half a year.

At the beginning, there was only one place for Wandou Dian, but there were two places for Tang Dun Dun.

They also had to figure out the pea planting techniques on their own. Shi Juan and Luo Hongzhi stayed in Deyang during a long business trip.

This time, the Tangdundun planting technology was changed to be explored by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, so Shi Juan did not have to go on business trips for a long time.

But it still has to come in the short term.

After discussing the cooperation, the people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences were quite anxious.

A video conference was held with Wen Yingshijuan that day.

I learned in detail about the technical characteristics, planting methods, etc. of Tangdundun.

Luo Yihang followed and listened to a passage.

What is said is "If the value is high, you can try to use a small shed with bamboo pieces as the frame. It is cheap and simple, and it is also good to put it on the market half a month earlier."

"The tubers are relatively small, so you can try dense planting."

"Can the high and low ridge technology be used? Otherwise, try it out."

"..."

As a result, Shi Juan had to go on a business trip again and come to Mianyang to do some research together.

There's no way, Wenying is a laboratory scientist and is not good at planting, while Shijuan is an all-rounder.
-
After finishing things in Mianyang.

Luo Yihang and Wang Shaopeng returned to Deyang.

I first went to see the fields that Wang Shaopeng contacted, which totaled more than 300 acres.

Since the mode of cooperation has changed, Luo Yihang no longer needs to understand the matters of the experimental field in depth.

Just take a quick look.

This time, contracting the land, planting, maintenance and harvesting were all Wang Shaopeng's responsibility, and Luo Yihang was only responsible for setting the final price and taking everything away.

When we finished watching the return trip.

Passed by the original pea experimental field.
