Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 537 Number Reporting, Three-System Catering Delivery Service

Changqing University Town, Ginza Supermarket.

"Hey buddy, want to buy some cooking oil?"

A college student volunteer in the rice, flour, and cooking oil section spotted Yu Yang wandering around and enthusiastically approached him, saying, "Xiwang 5L blended oil is on sale for 9.9 yuan a bottle, plus a free 120ml bottle of sesame oil."

The words have not yet fallen.

An older woman stepped forward and said, "Young man, a 5.8L bottle of Golden Dragon blended oil is only 9.8 yuan, plus a free 150ml bottle of Luhua sesame oil. It's a better deal than his."

Seeing that Yu Yang remained unmoved, the other middle-aged women sent one of them to speak up. "Young man, if you ask me, the traditional pressed peanut oil from Hujihua is the most fragrant. It's on big sale now, three bottles for ninety-nine yuan!"

Currently, peanut oil is priced at twice that of soybean oil and three times that of blended oil.

The reasons for this are twofold. First, peanuts are difficult to extract using leaching processes and are primarily produced by pressing, which increases production costs.

Secondly, the price of staple grains has been declining year after year. Peanuts are not considered a staple grain, which has widened the price gap between peanut oil and soybean oil and corn oil.

Secondly, the blending processes for oils vary widely. Some are mixed with cheaper corn oil, cotton oil, or palm oil; some are very poorly refined, resulting in an excessively dark color; others are mixed with recycled oil, non-edible oils, or even gutter oil from some small brands.

Yu Yang asked in confusion, "Why didn't I see Sanyuan soybean oil?"

"Goodness, young man, I didn't realize you were so rich. You can even afford Sanyuan soybean oil. Look, it's in that corner. Nobody's asked about it for over half a year. It's covered in dirt. If you want to buy it, I'll get a rag to wipe it clean for you."

Yu Yang followed the old woman's finger and almost laughed out of anger.

The product itself, with its exquisite packaging, food-grade plastic buckets, and the fact that it is made from three or four soybeans through a six-step refining process, is produced under the supervision of Sanyuan Pharmaceutical, passes inspection by the Oriental Food and Drug System, and has obtained relevant European and American certifications, is currently considered an ultra-premium edible oil in the international market. However, it was covered with a thick layer of dust and had rags, mops, brooms, cardboard boxes, and other miscellaneous items on top of it.

A 5L bottle of Sanyuan soybean oil costs 280 yuan to import domestically.

If this was unintentional, then the supermarket owner must have done something foolish.

Therefore, the satellite city is not part of the factory, and Ginza is not a third-tier enterprise. Xunziqi can only visit once a month at most, which is not enough to provide 24/7 supervision. This led to the aunt deliberately "hiding" the place, and the college student volunteers turned a blind eye.

Yu Yang muttered to himself, "It's only been five years, has the Hundred Schools Alliance already forgotten its school motto?"

Upon hearing this, the three college student volunteers hurriedly cleaned up the clutter and carefully wiped the Sanyuan soybean oil with wet wipes.

Then, as if inviting a deity, they placed Sanyuan soybean oil in the prime position on the three-tiered shelf and the international goods shelf.

The motto of the Hundred Schools Alliance: As students of the three departments, everyone has the responsibility and obligation to maintain everything within the factory, including not only the hardware facilities, but also its reputation and image. We come here to learn not for personal gain, but for common development and common prosperity.

"Collecting credits is a form of training, aimed at improving understanding. When you're out in the world, you are the ones who define yourself. As members of a group, you represent the group. Don't let outsiders laugh at us, and don't forget your original aspirations."

"Comrade is right, we will write a self-criticism immediately."

"No need. To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."

Yu Yang glanced around the rice, flour, and cooking oil section, an idea forming in his mind. He whispered, "Your task, besides using commercial competition to boost local employment, is also to take the opportunity to help overseas capital fabricate data."

"???"

Yu Yang smiled mysteriously, "Do you know how to count off?"

The three college student volunteers exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.

Yu Yang was exasperated. "What kind of rubbish did you all learn in school?"

"I majored in Germanic languages, with German, Dutch, and Czech as secondary languages. After graduation, I will be assigned to work in Northern Europe."

"I specialize in host computer programming, which is industrial robot. After graduation, I will be assigned to the Sanyuan Machinery production workshop."

"I specialize in pharmacological research, with food testing as a side job. After graduation, I will be assigned to Sanyuan Pharmaceutical."

Yu Yang suddenly realized, "So they're just three bookworms."

"···"

"The meaning of 'reporting numbers' is that foreign companies like to count customer traffic and then set purchase rates or transaction coefficients based on transaction volume to reflect business progress and operational status."

As Yu Yang spoke, he walked to the entrance of the rice, flour and cooking oil section, looked up at the infrared sensor on the ceiling, and said, "See this? This is the counter. When one person comes, it senses the signal. When a group of people come, it senses a long string of signals, like Morse code. At night, the backend will compile a curve of the whole day, and then refer to the supermarket system's inventory and order volume to get the transaction volume. Finally, under the operation of professionals, a table and monthly peak value are generated."

He continued, "This mechanism represents the first collaboration between foreign capital and the three major players in the retail sector. The three major players were buying up Yihai Kerry at rock-bottom prices, and ADM developed it overnight."

"In other words, the three-line system lowered its price, and foreign companies lowered their prices. Foreign companies were much cheaper than the three-line system. The three-line system thought about it and then swept up all the foreign soybean oil in the market, brought it back, refined it, and resold it. It not only made a profit but also captured the soybean oil market. After foreign companies learned about this, in order to avoid repeating the same mistake, they came up with this mechanism."

"If the two sides engage in another business battle, and foreign companies offer lower prices than the three-system companies, while the three-system companies sweep up all foreign soybean oil in the market, the foreign companies will discover the odds through this mechanism and change their strategy accordingly."

"This is the reporting system."

"Later, when the higher authorities learned of this, they drew inferences from one instance and replicated the reporting mechanism. You used this system in departments such as transportation, banking, petitions, and complaints to prevent fraud."

"After all, the subway needs sufficient passenger flow to determine whether to build or expand."

"Banks need customer traffic, deposits, and loan applications to determine the loan amount for the following year."

"The number of issues that need to be resolved through petitions determines the amount of funding allocated."

"However, for every policy, there's a countermeasure."

“We can take the above departments into account, attract people from the street, or call on relatives and friends to artificially increase the number of customers, and then buy the rice, flour and cooking oil from foreign companies.”

One of the college students hesitated and said, "The price of staple food has been falling year after year. After foreign capital intervenes, the price will drop even further. If we buy rice, flour, and cooking oil from foreign companies, what if the price drops even more? These products all have a shelf life. What if we can't sell them?"

“We bought it not to resell, but to exchange it for resources from food-importing countries. This is equivalent to foreign capital providing us with what we need to exchange at a low price, while ensuring that our products have a sufficient supply in the market.”

Another college student spoke up: "We are outnumbered and lack the strength, so we should leave this to the factory management team."

"They are dealing with important matters and don't have time to deal with these things. I feel that we can mobilize college student volunteers, raise funds internally, and make a big effort. If it works, it will benefit the factory and we can also obtain a lot of resources. We can also exchange this for graduation credits. To use the school-running principle of the Hundred Schools Alliance, this is called practical work to save the factory."

The third college student nodded, "I can mobilize my relatives and friends, and as students from the third department, borrow money and take out loans. Getting 30 yuan is not a problem."

"In that case, 1 person would raise 3000, 100 people would raise 30 million, 1000 people would raise 1 million, 30 people would raise 3 billion, and with 200 million college student volunteers, if half of them participate, at least 3000 billion can be raised."

"Hiss... Do we have that much influence?"

"You're not willing to do it for the sake of credits?"

"I'd definitely be willing, but the problem is, what if the authorities define it as illegal fundraising?"

“We are college student volunteers, belonging to the College Student Volunteer Association of the Hundred Schools Alliance, which is under the Employee Management Committee. This is an internal unit of the factory, parallel to the Factory Affairs Group and the Patrol Flag. Compared to external organizations, it is roughly equivalent to the civil affairs system. As long as we get the signature and open a three-department account, it is equivalent to the factory organizing an off-campus activity led by college student volunteers. Even the Factory Affairs Group cannot stop it because it is a collective demand. Patrol Flag and external police will also protect us.”

"What about keeping it confidential?" "That depends on the participants' self-discipline, and it can also be a good way to test whether volunteers are loyal to the group."

"Done!"

"As the saying goes, great things start with details. We should start with this supermarket, artificially increase customer traffic, acquire foreign rice, flour and oil products, and then negotiate business with grain-importing countries."

As Yu Yang spoke, he created a group chat, added the three college student volunteers, and then set them all as administrators. "My identity is special, so it's inconvenient for me to show up in person. You can recruit people and push this matter forward. If you encounter any difficulties, then message me privately."

Upon seeing the newly added contact – Yu Aiguo – the three men understood immediately, guessing that he must be a senior executive of Yujia Village. “Comrade, rest assured, when it comes time to reward merits, we will not forget you.”

"come on!"

Instead of shopping at the mall, Yu Yang walked through the snow to a construction site she had spotted before entering Ginza.

As a 'quasi-satellite city,' Changqing is undertaking large-scale construction in order to accommodate more people.

Whether it's building bridges and roads, developing communities, or expanding infrastructure—power plants, power stations, administrative units, sports facilities…

Although winter is not conducive to construction, development waits for no one.

Therefore, even in the dead of winter, during blizzards and heavy snow, a large number of migrant workers, wearing heavy cotton coats and breathing out puffs of air, are still digging ditches, pulling cables, welding pipes, or using special mud to pave tunnels.

On a mound of earth outside the site, a man in a leather jacket stood holding a small megaphone, angrily berating the clumsy cable pullers, the lazy diggers, and the wasteful bricklayers.

Yu Yang took out his fourth-generation SY Black Gold Custom Edition handheld console, which he used for office work, and the man's information immediately appeared on the screen.

Zhang Kui, a 46-year-old contractor, previously worked on three plastic greenhouse projects. Known for his excellent character and decisive actions, he invested in Western Transportation after the project ended in 02, using the profits. However, a severe storm struck, causing his convoy to be overturned by sandstorms and thousands of tons of goods to be destroyed by gravel, resulting in heavy losses. To repay his debts, he rebuilt his construction team in 04, subsequently contracting small municipal projects in several satellite cities. Currently affiliated with Sanyuan Construction, he employs 45 migrant workers from his hometown and 32 locally recruited workers.

The people Zhang Kui angrily cursed were all migrant workers he had brought from his hometown, and they were either his nephews or his uncles.

Yu Yang started his business in engineering in another time and space, and he understands that this is a management method.

Paying your own people high salaries and occasionally scolding them can improve their work attitude, correct their construction skills, establish authority in front of outsiders, and build a better construction team by centering on your own people.

Even if the construction site is changed every three to five months, and the people recruited from this side don't go with them, and new people need to be recruited from the other side, it won't delay the construction.

Of course, after the construction was completed, the contractor would definitely treat his own people to food and drinks, and continue to fight and curse.

If one's own people understand this principle, they will surely be given important responsibilities. Although they will still be criticized in the future, they will secretly become the contractor's right-hand men. When the business grows bigger and stronger in the future, they may even be sent to manage construction sites and become small contractors.

If your own people don't understand the reasons behind this, they will probably be excluded from the 'core' very soon, and in the end, they will just be seen by outsiders as fellow villagers working alongside the contractors and earning slightly higher wages.

In another timeline, Yu Yang used this method quite often. Having come this far, and with his rebirth, he still can't determine whether this management method is right or wrong.

It's not in textbooks, at least not.

But one thing is certain: it works very well for construction teams.

Even if you manage five or six hundred people, as long as you divide them into teams, assign suitable people to manage them, and finally bring them all to your side, it will still work.

Yu Yang stood under the bus stop sign for a long time.

Wait until evening.

The boxed meals ordered by the contractor over the phone were delivered by the Sanxi Catering Truck.

Unlike the 1-yuan boxed meals outside the Third Ring Road, and unlike the charity boxed meals in the west, this is a workers' meal.

Each serving costs 2 yuan and includes one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, three steamed buns, a fried egg, a lion's head meatball, a rolled pancake, and a piece of ostrich meat disguised as a chicken leg.

After the boxed meals were distributed, the catering truck did not leave. Instead, it opened the rear compartment, providing warm and hot water on the left and millet porridge and egg drop soup on the right.

The foreman called out "Lunch is served!", put down his megaphone, picked up his lunchbox, squatted down in the snowdrift where he had just stood, and breathed out his cold air while taking a bite of his steamed bun dipped in vegetable soup.

Other migrant workers were used to this. They put down their tools, gathered behind the food truck, lined up to wash their hands and get their food, and then found a place to eat wherever they could.

Yu Yang took out his SY handheld console and pointed it at the food truck.

Sanyuan Catering Truck: Jointly produced by Sanyuan Machinery and Santui Industrial, fully electric four-wheel drive, can hold 1200 boxed meals (heated), and can provide 3 cubic meters of warm water, 3 cubic meters of hot water, and 2+2 cubic meters of porridge and soup, with a maximum range of 60 kilometers.

You can replace your Sanyuan shared power battery at the Sanxi Convenience Service Station (next to Sanyuan Pharmacy) for 20 cents per kilometer. The whole vehicle costs 120,000 yuan in cash, and you can make a down payment of 3000 yuan in cash and apply for a 3-year interest-free agricultural loan.

Sanyuan Catering - Delivery Service: It was started by outstanding Sanyuan Fast Food employees who took unpaid leave to start their own businesses. Currently, the business covers the whole country and has 230 million riders. They all use Sanyuan electric bikes, Sanyuan electric tricycles, Sanyuan catering carts and Sanyuan transportation vehicles. They enjoy Sanyuan pharmacy medical insurance services and Sanyuan insurance services. There are currently no unemployment, pension and housing fund policies.

It connects with Sanyuan Pharmacy delivery, Sanyuan fast food/restaurant delivery, Shili Mall/SY Mall/Sanxi foreign-funded mall delivery, Sanxi online sales economy delivery, and Sims exchange item delivery.

Deliveryman - Li Xinxin: Female, 28 years old, 12 years of experience working in a textile factory. After the factory closed down, the new textile factory adopted automation. She lost her job because she could not find work. Currently, she undertakes the delivery of three meals a day to three construction sites in Changqing West District, as well as the handling of returned items in two areas. After deducting medical expenses, catering vehicle loan, catering vehicle charging, and childcare fees for her two children, her daily income is 50 yuan.

The three-system delivery AI big model: It performs grid-based processing on a single city, and rationally allocates human resources and plans delivery routes based on the number of deliverymen, their residences, their personal needs, their vehicles and battery power. This enables a two-day weekend rotation system, shortens daily working hours, avoids operational risks, and reduces medical expenses.

Yu Yang put down the SY handheld console and rubbed his frozen hands.

The above products were not formulated by Yu Da Dangjia, nor were they led by the factory management team or the think tank. Rather, they were created by the three companies in response to their needs during their independent development.

Similarly, in many other areas, such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, mining and construction, and electronics and electrical appliances, there may be many new businesses that are not led by Yu Da Dangjia.

This is a manifestation of the evolution of the three-system industrial chain into a three-system ecosystem.

In the future, as numerous businesses intertwine and human resources are further coordinated, a more complete and entirely new society will ultimately be formed, driven by various new developments.

It is completely different from the society of the past. Compared with five years ago, if you had to describe it in two words, it would be: developed.

If another ten years pass, it might be far beyond the time travel before another era.

Of course, it is currently in a period of rapid development.

Yu Yang pondered for a long time. When the bus arrived at the station after passing over the road cleared by three snowplows, he immediately took out his Obi-3G phone, used the 3G network mode to swipe and pay the 1 yuan fare, and prepared to go to Changqing subway station in Dongshanfu.

At this moment, the SY handheld console emitted several notification sounds.

Intelligence System:

[Ice Bear Heavy Industries oligarch Shamarov died in a plane crash, along with his wife, three mistresses, nine children, and 17 other company executives who were traveling with him.]
With Western capital pouring into the bear market, the oligarchs will inevitably be eliminated first.

And the oligarchs are not just there to be beaten.

so.
"The business war has finally begun."
