Chapter 699 694. Getting Things Done While Chatting

After praising him, Old Man Huang changed the subject and asked about the details of the contract, "This young man..."

Luo Hongzhi quickly raised his head and waved his hands repeatedly, "Mr. Huang, you can call me Luo Hongzhi, or Xiaozhi, or Hongwazi, it's all fine."

"Hong is a good kid, he looks like one of our own in the village." Old man Huang followed suit and quickly narrowed the distance between them.

"Well, Hong, tell me how many acres should our village plant this time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the village committee fell silent. Some of the people present knew the specific terms, while some did not.

Whether you know it or not, you want to hear it again.

Luo Hongzhi pulled out a table and answered loudly, "We have done statistics with the cooperative and the village collective beforehand. This time, the second trial planting of Tangdundun sweet potatoes is in Huangjiayan and its surrounding areas, with a planting area of ​​4,100 mu, the largest of all regions. The planting area in Huangjiayan Village is 315 mu."

Old man Huang silently calculated that there were more than a dozen villages this time. If there were more than 4,000 acres, each village would get 300 to 400 acres.

It's quite good. It's not easy to squeeze out 4,000 acres from this area.

Just like Huangjiayan, the land that has not been arranged in summer and autumn is only 315 acres.

Thinking of this, Old Man Huang looked around with a big grin and pointed at himself with his thumb, meaning, I, Old Man Huang, have face.

After turning around, Old Man Huang gave it to Luo Hongzhi without putting down his thumbs, "That's right, Hong is very good at doing things."

Luo Hongzhi smiled and said politely: "It's mainly because we have outstanding people and a good place. We also want a good result, otherwise we wouldn't come here, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes." Old man Huang was so happy that his forehead wrinkles were all smiling.

Good words are free and beneficial, so who wouldn't like to hear them?

While smiling, Old Man Huang pretended to ask casually, "Hong, what are our terms this time? How much is the purchase price?"

"Well..." Luo Hongzhi opened the contract and pointed to the clauses on it for Old Man Huang to see. "This time, because our variety has a low yield, only about 2,000 kilograms per mu per season, after discussing with the cooperative, the purchase price is set at four yuan per kilogram."

"Two thousand catties... four yuan..." Old Man Huang muttered, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Eight thousand for an acre, we can't harvest it all!"

hiss~~
The people around who had been listening with their ears perked up also became excited.

Eight thousand! That’s not a low amount at all.

One acre, one season, not the whole year.

Next to the Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which is one of the best in potato research, every family there has grown sweet potatoes.

Winter potatoes are planted in mid-August and harvested in late October or early November.

Two or three months at most.

I hope I can have a good year at the end of the year~~
There was a commotion in the village committee office. "Really four yuan?", "All four yuan?", "Yes, yes, will you take all of it? Or do you know the number?"

Luo Hongzhi stretched out his hand and pressed it, smiling: "Of course we will accept all of them, as long as they meet the standards, we will accept all of them."

"Standard?" Old Man Huang was immediately stunned. "What standard?"

Luo Hongzhi explained: "Quality standards: don't accept bad ones, don't accept moldy ones, and don't accept those that are too small. That's it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured a small circle the size of a ping-pong ball, "For example, a sweet potato egg this big, you can save it for the kids as a snack."

“Hahahahaha~~” Old Man Huang understood and laughed, “Giving this thing to you is not enough to pay for the loss.”

The onlookers also breathed a sigh of relief. Just like before, all the conditions were met.

"Hey, if I grow 2,500 kilograms, how much will you give me?" Old Man Huang asked again.

Luo Hongzhi secretly gave a thumbs up, saying that the cooperation was great, and smiled, "Then I'll give you 10,000 per acre."

"What about 3,000 kilograms?" "If you can grow 3,000 kilograms, you will definitely be the first this time. Our boss said that the village with the highest average yield per mu will purchase the entire village at a price of 5 yuan per kilogram. But you can't keep it to yourself, you have to share your experience so that growers across the country can make more money in the future."

This is the reward mechanism.

If the whole village raises its price by one yuan, and then raises the price even higher, farmers across the country can make more money together.

Oh, old man Huang is getting excited.

He held his head high and patted his chest, "Everyone in the surrounding area knows my farming skills. I will grow 3,000 kilograms of crops for you. We, Huangjiayan, will definitely take first place. Hong, you guys should prepare the money."

Luo Hongzhi immediately followed up, "Then you have to find a bigger pocket to put the money in. The money is ready and deposited in the bank account. I guarantee that it will be transferred to the cooperative or village collective account within three working days after receiving the goods."

Actually not.

Thirty thousand acres, if purchased at four yuan per pound, the funds required would be several hundred million. How could Luo Yihang have so much cash?

But it doesn’t matter, the bank can just give you a short-term loan.

Whether it is Qingyin Agriculture or Qiao Xiaomao, the loan amounts are high.

The two of them sang the same tune, and the others were unhappy.

Why do you Huangjiayan take first place? You, old man Huang, are good at farming, and we are not bad either. Let's see who gets the bigger pocket of money then.

The room was noisy and noisy, with everyone competing with each other in speaking louder and louder. Old Man Huang was arguing with a group of scholars, and it was quite lively.

They have no objection to the three working days and collective account.

This is originally a public-to-public transaction, between the cooperative or village collective and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and then between the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Sushan. It is normal for the payment to be made within three days.

As for the villagers' money, it is distributed among the cooperatives and village collectives to which they belong.

The villages in Huangjiayan have been cooperating with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for many years, and this has always been the process.

"Hey, little kid, what if it doesn't grow?"

In the midst of the excitement, someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.

The shout quieted the office again.

Luo Hongzhi answered without hesitation: "There is a risk fund for compensation, but the experimental crops are not insured. The risk fund only covers the costs, including labor costs, but the high returns will be gone."

So, the risk of trial planting new varieties is quite high. Therefore, generally, like the Xiaoman No. 1 pea variety, it is slowly added by hundreds or thousands of acres, and it takes several rounds to reach tens of thousands of acres.

It is very rare for a company like Tangdundun to have over 30,000 acres in the second round.

It usually only appears in special circumstances, such as Academician Li Zhensheng’s Xiaoyan No. 6.

In the 1960s, the outbreak of wheat stripe rust posed a huge threat to food security.

In this context, Academician Li Zhensheng used wheat distant hybridization technology to cultivate the wheat variety Xiaoyan No. 6, which is resistant to wheat rust and leaf blight.

After the successful cultivation of Xiaoyan No. 6, large-scale trial planting was carried out directly and it was soon promoted nationwide.

But that was to respond to the food crisis, and every second counted at a critical moment.

The reason why the Tang Dun Dun sweet potatoes are sold on such a large scale is simply because they have money...

Now we are more than 20 years into the 21st century, and compared to the 1960s, things have changed dramatically.

If you have the strength to take a little risk...
