Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 542 The Three-System Ecosystem, New Year's Eve

After the bidding meeting concluded.

Yu Yang followed the gaunt old man back to the construction site in a rented Audi A6L.

The gaunt old man's surname was Jia, and he was from Changqing.

When he was young, he worked as a bricklayer in the production team in his hometown. After the reform and opening up, he followed a contractor from his hometown to Shantou.

Five years ago, a major incident occurred in Shancheng. Many projects were canceled or investors withdrew. The networks of contractors in the countryside were broken, and they could not get projects. In addition, they were too old to work and had no choice but to announce their dissolution.

Old Jia originally planned to do odd jobs in Shiliying, but he found that Sanyuan Construction not only offered free affiliation services, but also provided free design, tender documents, and financial services. He immediately contacted the village's laborers, bricklayers, carpenters, and so on, and tried to get work from Sanyuan Construction.

Yu Yang listened and responded briefly.

Sanyuan Construction offers free affiliation services and various free services, but this is not out of kindness.

First, the education system of the Hundred Schools Alliance integrates learning, teaching, and job placement, requiring a large number of college students to gain professional experience.

Secondly, by giving up a portion of the profits in the construction phase, the Sanxi contracting services can be promoted. The more construction companies affiliated with Sanyuan Construction Group, the more business Sanxi building materials and Sanxi machinery will have, ultimately forming a complete Sanxi development industrial chain.

Old Jia sighed, "In the past, when we were doing engineering projects, we needed to hire people, rent equipment, and bribe officials at all levels."

“Now, when you’re working on a project, just take out the three-system terminal equipment, submit your project information, and our company (Sanyuan Construction) will automatically allocate resources for you.”

"I'll list out everything for you, including what workers you need, what equipment you need, and what procedures you need."

"If you can't recruit people, rent equipment, or handle the procedures, you can apply to our company again."

"We order three meals a day from the catering department, select suitable workers from the human resources system, rent construction equipment from Sanyuan Machinery, purchase building materials from Sanyuan Construction, and handle all the paperwork through the accounting firm of the Sanyuan department..."

"It can be said that a single 3-series terminal can handle things that used to require running around and taking three to five months to complete."

During our casual conversation, the rented Audi A6L pulled up at the entrance of the construction site.

Old Jia paid, and everyone got out of the car.

At 9 p.m., an extended "mobile office vehicle" appeared on the brightly lit construction site.

Its overall structure resembles a train carriage, with four service windows on the side. Inside, one can vaguely see desks, three-in-one machines, three-in-one projectors, and so on.

Hundreds of migrant workers who had already finished get off work lined up in four groups to handle their respective business.

Yu Yang stepped forward.

A migrant worker sat down on a folding stool under the service window and took out a three-system terminal to stick it in the designated position on the window.

The office staff inside typed rapidly on their keyboards: "Zhang Dashan worked 342 days last year. According to the salary and benefits submitted by Lao Jia's construction team, he earned 12 yuan per day, 4 days a day, for a total income of 16416 yuan. His year-end bonus was 3000 yuan, and he is owed 19416 yuan."

As the voice spoke, a creaking sound came from the left side of the window, printing out the pay details.

办公人员继续道：“你1月支出152元，2月支出130元，3月…总支出1558元。”

The printer printed out the expense details again.

The staff member asked again, "Through the Sanxi terminal, you applied for Sanxi Family Medical Insurance online for your parents, wife, and two sons. The annual fee is 2000 yuan. The fee for 06 has not yet been deducted. Do you want to deduct it?"

"Yes."

“Through the Sanxi terminal, you paid Sanxi’s off-site pension online for yourself and your wife. The annual return is 5.8%, and the annual contribution base for the couple is 2800 yuan. No contribution has been made in 06.”

"pay!"

“19416-1558-2000-2800，实付13058元。”

The printer printed out the details again.

Zhang Dashan carefully put away the papers. "Help me transfer 2000 yuan of the remaining money to my online shopping account, and deposit the rest in the trade hall. It's a three-year term."

"Okay, the current plan for the Trade Hall is a three-year fixed deposit with lump-sum withdrawal and an annual interest rate of 6.53%. It has been processed for you."

Zhang Dashan took out the Sanxi terminal and checked his account balance, family medical insurance status, and couple's pension status through the Sanxi financial service app. He nodded and was about to leave the window.

An office worker suddenly spoke up: "Old Jia's construction team recently submitted their 06 salary and benefits. It will still be calculated based on 4 workdays, but each workday will be paid 18 yuan."

"Four dollars?"

"Yes."

"It's gone up that much?"

"Will you renew the contract?"

"Continue, continue, continue!"

The workers on the construction site are all employed through the three-system human resource management system, which is renewed annually, and they are entitled to the three-system labor protection.

This protection means migrant workers don't have to worry about unpaid wages, intermediaries making a profit, or not getting compensation for work-related injuries.

Furthermore, the salary accumulated until the end of the year will accrue interest at the same rate as bank deposits.

Furthermore, they can participate in the Sanyuan Pharmacy family medical insurance program and continue paying into their pension for 30 years until retirement.

For contractors, once they secure a project and hire migrant workers, they don't need to worry about the client delaying payments, certain departments deliberately causing trouble, or ruthless individuals seizing construction sites…

Yu Yang squatted on the earthen slope, watching the migrant workers handling their business, and lit a large gold brick cigarette that the old Party Secretary had sent to him.

He handed the rest, along with the cigarette box, to the skinny old man, Old Jia, who was walking over.

The latter also lit a cigarette, saying, "The wages have risen really fast. Last year it was 12, which was about 48 yuan a day for a laborer. This year it has risen to 18, which is about 72 yuan a day for a laborer. That's nearly 2200 yuan a month, which is more expensive than hiring a college graduate."

"College students can't endure this hardship. They'd rather earn 1200 yuan and sit in an air-conditioned office than earn 2200 yuan and work on a construction site in the wind and sun."

"This money is getting worth less and less."

"It can't be helped."

The devaluation of the RMB means that people need to spend more money to buy necessities.

Just like a steamed bun.

Five for one yuan in 98.

Four for one yuan in 99.

In 00, the grain war broke out, and grain prices fluctuated greatly. Sometimes four buns cost one yuan, sometimes three buns cost one yuan, and in some cities, the size of steamed buns shrank from 120g each to 80g each, even though they were priced at three buns for one yuan.

Global capital is encircling and suppressing Sanyuan Agriculture. During the business war, grain prices fell. Once global capital seizes the Sanyuan market, grain prices will definitely skyrocket.

Therefore, steamed buns will soon become four for one yuan, or even three or two for one yuan.

Suppose Xiaoming earns 10 yuan a day and eats 8 steamed buns every day.

When seven steamed buns cost one yuan, Xiaoming only needed to spend one yuan and two mao (0.2 yuan) a day to fill his stomach.

When two steamed buns cost one yuan, Xiaoming still needed to spend four yuan every day to fill his stomach.

In the past, after Xiaoming had eaten his fill, he could buy some beer and go to internet cafes.

Now, Xiaoming has enough to eat, but he can't even afford to support his wife and children.

At this point, it would be difficult for domestic grain prices to fall further, because foreign capital holding massive amounts of foreign currency would definitely take the opportunity to hoard grain and then sell it at high prices on the international market, which would be equivalent to a disguised form of currency exchange, ultimately resulting in huge losses for the East.

Therefore, the best solution is to increase Xiaoming's daily wage to 20 yuan. Since Xiaoming's true labor value is 10 yuan per day.

Raising the price to 20 yuan is equivalent to currency devaluation. If handled carelessly, the red banknotes could turn into Zimbabwean dollars.

Therefore, the printing speed of money in the East, including the issuance of red banknotes, cannot be changed relative to the international level. It is necessary to enable the capital holding a large amount of red banknotes to actively inject them into the market and make the local currency circulate.

Over the past six or seven years, Sanyuan Agriculture has been dumping its excess capacity and using its technology and equipment to continuously invest in various industries, making a steady stream of profits.

In addition, internal employees don't need too much cash, and the three financial systems are growing bigger and stronger...

The total amount of cash that Sanyuan Agriculture has accumulated is not much less than that of foreign capital.

Therefore, by supporting the private sector and injecting the money into society, people's wages can be significantly increased during the currency devaluation period, thus preventing the standard of living in the East from declining.

During this period, as long as the standard of living in the East does not decline, compared with the impending financial crisis in the outside world, we will at least not lose.

So, when the next cycle ends and the economic crisis ends, the overseas economy recovers, various demands increase, our side restarts foreign trade, the RMB enters a phase of domestic growth and foreign depreciation again, and the world economy enters another cycle.

Of course, it sounds simple, but it's extremely complicated to do.

Looking at the brightly lit construction site, Yu Yang asked, "Old Jia, the steel pipe construction project has a total cost of 800 million yuan. After deducting all expenses, how much will you get?"

"This is a project that Dongshan Huarun Group subcontracted to us from Sanyuan Energy, which is a general contracting project. Normally, there is no kickback issue. With the benefits of the Sanyuan contracting system, I can probably get 80 yuan."

Now that Dongshan Prefecture has intervened, acting as an intermediary platform and regulatory body, although they haven't asked for any "tea money," they're bombarding me with various taxes and fees. At most, I'll get 20 yuan.

After Lao Jia finished speaking, he took out the blueprints and said again, "However, this project can bring about some other small projects."

“The five communities, including Yuhan Railway and Yuhan South District, were built in the 90s. The water pipes are old and there is no heating.”

"Now that a gas pipeline construction project has come up, the water and heating companies will definitely come to discuss it, hoping to bury the pipeline together."

"In this way, the costs of many aspects can be shared equally among the three parties. As long as the negotiations are reasonable, I can earn at least 60 yuan."

“Even if the water and heating companies don’t pay me for the steel pipe construction project, I can still only earn 20 yuan. But since I helped these two companies, they will definitely give me some projects to compensate me.”

"Of course, this requires communicating with the bosses of both the main pipeline construction company and the steel pipeline construction company."

As for the main pipelines, water pipes, heating pipes, and gas pipes can be buried together as long as the distance is set according to the standard.

If all three tasks can be completed in one construction project, it is indeed more economical.

However, once inside the residential area, the three pipes must be separated.

Yu Yang patted Lao Jia on the shoulder, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, we'll have dumplings tonight."

"The factory is already on holiday. I don't know if Sanyuan Fast Food is available or if they can deliver it."

"Sanyuan Foods will supply us. Buy some frozen food and we'll cook it ourselves."

"Makes sense!"

···
The next day was Lunar New Year's Eve.

After waking up, Yu Yang first called Lao Yu, who had gone to Southeast Asia to raise pigs.

The "elephant pigs" at the 10,000-head pig breeding base have already reached a considerable scale and have been named "Black Mountain Pigs".

After the establishment of the Vietnam-Hong Kong-Macau Economic Circle, Dong Jian and Lao Yu decided to develop Myanmar into a black pig breeding park, aiming to increase the number of pigs slaughtered to 5 million and the pork production to 4200 million tons within three years, thus solving the problem of pork shortage in the East.

Because the project is so large, with an investment of nearly 300 billion yuan, the father and son are so busy that they sleep in the pigsty every day and can't even come back for the Spring Festival.

"So Uncle Liu was smart; he retired early."

Yu Yang called his mother again.

Yu's mother had been bored out of her mind these past few years, so she partnered with housekeeping teacher Li to start a housekeeping company.

Aunt Yu is in charge of business, and Teacher Li is in charge of service.

Although the company is small, it caters to wives from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong social circles...

Thus, she came to be known as the "Three-Circle Crown Prince Mother".

Afterwards, Yu Yang chatted with his old classmate via video call while inspecting the construction site.

Yesterday, salaries were paid, and it was announced that salaries would increase next year. Today, no workers violated the rule of not stopping work to go home for the Chinese New Year, and no one resigned.

noon.

The manager of Sanyuan Fast Food personally drove a food truck to deliver "Jishui Jiabing" (a type of flatbread) and bone broth, and informed the store staff that they were on holiday and short-staffed, so they would need to ask Sanyuan Food to help with cooking that evening.

And they guaranteed that the workers would never go hungry.

Yu Yang took a sandwich and some bone broth, and then randomly found a place to eat.

Jishui sandwich is also considered a famous local delicacy.

The white flour flatbread is sliced ​​open from the side, and fried eggs, fried bean sprouts, and shredded potatoes in soup are added. Depending on the preference, pork tenderloin and fried chicken cutlet can be added. Then, depending on the taste, either cumin is sprinkled or a special sauce is brushed on. At first bite, the taste is exceptionally wonderful.

Meanwhile, a milky white bone broth was boiling in the dining car. Chopped scallions and cilantro were sprinkled into bowls, an egg was cracked in, and then the broth was poured over it…

Tsk tsk, slurping up a bowl, sweat beading on my forehead.

in the afternoon.

Sanyuan Foods delivered frozen dumplings.

Celery and pork, scallion and pork, vegetarian three delicacies, and chives and eggs.
Also available are large outdoor ovens, frozen chicken wings, frozen chicken legs, frozen sausages, and frozen steaks.
Half past four.

To celebrate the Spring Festival, Lao Jia announced that he would be leaving get off work early.

Those who need to video chat with their families should do so, those who need to cook dumplings should cook dumplings, and those who live nearby should go home.

evening.

Sanyuan Construction sent a mobile live-streaming vehicle equipped with an outdoor screen to broadcast the factory's Spring Festival Gala on the construction site.

As for the Spring Festival Gala on Oriental Radio.
They're not paying us, so they definitely won't broadcast it.

Waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to start.

Yu Yang sat in the crowd, video chatting with his family through multiple windows while listening to the idle chatter around him.

"Dad, when are you coming back?"

"In three more months I can go home and rest for a while. I'll bring you a soccer ball back with me."

"Great!"
.
"Honey, our house collapsed under the weight of the snow."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I would have contacted the nearest construction team to fix our house."

"It must cost a lot of money, let's wait for you to come back."

"The next project will take three months, and I don't know when I'll get a break. Don't worry, I found a construction team on the map, and their prices are very reasonable."
.
"Mom, I saved 18,000 yuan last year. If we work for another two years, we can build a new house."

"good boy"
