Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 91: On the Eve of Pingdong Lake Bidding

When Yu Yang was acting as a mentor in the Science and Technology Bureau.

Pingdong County Hotel.

Mr. Wu, from Kunshan, south of Suzhou, was playing with a jade bracelet while looking through the bidding materials.

The bidding for Pingdong Lake was initiated by Tai City and supervised by Dongshan Courtyard. It is said that the water conservancy agency in Beijing and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal management agency also participated.

It can be said that what needs to be promoted must be promoted in place, and the bidding process must not tolerate fraud.

Everything is very formal.

But Lao Dong, deputy general manager of Tai City, went through a lot of trouble to commercialize Pingdong Lake, and it was definitely not as simple as just contracting out Pingdong Lake.

In other words, there are no large-scale fishery companies in Tai City, and even in the entire Dongshan, there are none.

Even if there are some in Yantai and Weihai, they are seafood companies and they will not come to engage in aquatic products.

So, most likely the boss commercialized Pingdong Lake in order to attract investment.

That is to say, Pingdong Lake is used as bait to attract several large aquatic product companies through bidding and auctioning.

This will not only benefit local development, but also bring considerable financial revenue to the city of Tai.

After Boss Wu understood the boss's intention, he asked someone to find out about his competitors before rushing over.

By the end of the public announcement period, the only aquatic product companies that have paid the deposit and have the strength to participate in the bidding are our own in southern Jiangsu, our peers in northern Jiangsu, and aquatic product import and export companies in the Guangdong area.

Three companies in total.

As for the local Tai City Fisheries, Pingdong Aquatic Products Company, and Sanyuan Agriculture.

The first one is a shell company, the second one is a small company, and the third one is a vegetable grower.

I think the city of Tai is worried that outside companies will unite and raise the bidding price, so they specially arranged for this "shill".

However, in order to avoid being taken advantage of and to know himself and his opponents better, Boss Wu asked someone to inquire about the conditions of the three companies and simulated the bidding process.

For example, in this bidding, the starting price is 1000 million per year, and the first contract is a three-year contract.

The first bid was probably for the shell company Tai City Fisheries, 1100 million, and 3300 million in three years.

At this time, those who really want to pacify Donghu Lake will basically not take action.

The purpose is to scare the agents and create the illusion of "failure to sell" so that the Thai market will be more restrained.

Next, Pingdong Aquatic Products, which contributed to the payment, stepped forward to ease the embarrassment and offered a price of 1200 million.

Afterwards, it is said that Sanyuan Agriculture, which is very powerful, will raise its bid price to 1500 million, or 4500 million in three years.

This should be the expected price in Thai market, and then the trustee can exit.

The rest were given to three companies in southern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu and Guangdong to compete.

So Boss Wu talked to his counterparts in northern Jiangsu and Guangqu’s import and export department and reached an agreement.

His Kunshan Aquatic Products took part in the auction and bought the entire Pingdong Lake.

After the contract is signed, it will be divided into three parts, with the three parties sharing the auction costs equally and taking what they need.

By doing this, you can keep your expenses to a minimum.

Moreover, if we can deal with the most powerful Sanyuan Agriculture and set the bidding price at 1200 million, we can even save 900 million.

For this purpose, Boss Wu went to Shiliying, but unfortunately the real boss was not there and went to Tianwaiqiao in Tai City.

So Boss Wu ran to Tianwai Bridge without stopping, but he never expected that the other party had come to Pingdong County again.

At this time.

His assistant put down the phone and said, "Boss, I found out that Yu Sanyuan had a meal at the Science and Technology Bureau and went to the county guesthouse to rest."

Upon hearing this, Boss Wu took out a clean handkerchief and gently wiped the jade bracelet in his hand.
Then he carefully put it into the gift box, put it in his arms, and stood up.

"go!"

……

After the Science and Technology Bureau’s dinner.

Yu Yang did not go to the best hotel in Pingdong County, but instead, under the persuasion of the village chief, stayed in the county guesthouse.

You know what, the environment is really nice.

Three bedrooms and one living room, heating, TV, kitchen, shower...

There were even three thermos cups and a pack of Sunshine Green on the coffee table.

The village chief rinsed the teacup while Changfu boiled water to make tea.

Yu Yang lay on the sofa and picked up a neatly folded brand new newspaper on the sideboard.

There are Dongshan Daily, Luqi Evening News, Youth Daily, Taishi Daily...

And some sports entertainment and gossip.

Just flip through it.

Just as expected, as the company invested more plastic greenhouses, production capacity increased sharply. The Tai City Vegetable Basket Project, Hot Pot Vegetable Package Project, and Semi-finished Vegetable Packages, these products involving people's livelihood issues, have attracted countless people's attention.

Dongshan Daily commented: Sanyuan Agricultural Company not only ensures food supply for Tai City residents, but also increases income for local farmers and promotes the coordinated and sustainable development of urban and rural economies.

Comment by Luqi Evening News: A careful study reveals that Sanyuan Agriculture Company has adopted a new vegetable planting technology, which not only improves the scientific and technological content and environmental protection level of agricultural production methods, but also reduces the impact of agricultural production such as pesticides and fertilizers on the environment, and provides fresh, safe and healthy agricultural products, improving the quality of life and health level of the people.

Youth Daily: Sanyuan Agricultural Company's 'big farm' model has not only improved the economic vitality of rural areas and the living standards of farmers, but also reduced the pressure of rural population migration to cities.

Tai City Daily: Sanyuan Agriculture, a local enterprise born and raised, is trustworthy!

After Yu Yang saw it, he seriously suspected that the boss had spent the money.

Otherwise, where would so many good reviews come from?

However, there are also different voices on this side.

For example, Deputy Director Liu, who bowed to the boss again, called out to Shouguang.

"The vegetable basket project benefits thousands of households and cannot be limited to Tai City. It must be oriented to the entire Dongshan!"

Unfortunately, the vegetable basket project is designed to allow the people of Tai City to afford vegetables, eat vegetables, and eat more varieties of vegetables during this cold winter, especially during the New Year.

In other words, the price of vegetables sold by Sanyuan Agricultural Company to the Thai vegetable market is much lower than the wholesale price of vegetables grown in other plastic greenhouses.

Otherwise, why do you have to carry out the "vegetable basket project"? You might as well just sell vegetables directly.

Therefore, this is a project that loses money but gains publicity, and is used to enhance the company's influence in Thailand.

Shouguang is a cluster of retail investors who grow vegetables to make money, especially at the end of the year, when they are determined to make more.

If Shouguang is asked to join the vegetable basket project and gain publicity at a loss, the retail investors in Shouguang will definitely not agree.

Not only will he not be able to do it, he will also curse out of anger.

As for Sanyuan Agriculture benefiting Dongshan...

Sorry, the scale is too small and it only supplies Thai city at most.

Fortunately, there are only two county towns in Tai City, otherwise Sanyuan Agriculture would not be able to handle it.

In addition to Deputy Director Liu's speech, there were also some questions.

For example, a 3-acre vegetable base sounds large, but in reality it is impossible to supply so many vegetables, let alone so many varieties.

Some people suspected the use of hormones, some suspected the use of some unknown potion, and some suspected the falsification of production capacity.

To this end, the Thai City Food Quality Inspection and Testing Agency gave a series of test results.

Facts have proved that Sanyuan Agriculture does not use any pesticides, let alone any chemical fertilizers, and the vegetables grown are free of organic pollution and are purely natural!

“This is an advertisement.”

Yu Yang could be sure that the boss did spend the money.

Otherwise it would be impossible to have questions and answers in the newspaper.

At this time.

There was a knock on the guesthouse's door.

Then came a southern accent.

"Boss Yu, are you there?"

Chang Fu held the door handle with his left hand, reached for the steel chisel tied to his back with his right hand, and then slowly opened the door.

A skinny man was standing outside. Seeing this, he asked again, "Does Boss Yu live here?"

"you are?"

"I'm from Kunshan, southern Jiangsu, and I'm in the seafood business." The skinny man said, handing over his business card, "Just call me Xiao Wu."

Yu Yang stepped forward and said, "It's Boss Wu. Please come in."

"Boss Yu is so hard to find. I went to Shiliying and heard that you went to Tianwaiqiao in Tai City, so I hurried over there. I never thought that you came to Pingdong County."

"Boss Wu is looking for me so urgently, is there something important?"

"No, no, just getting to know each other." Boss Wu said, and took out a gift box and placed it on the coffee table.

Yu Yang frowned, hesitated slightly, and opened it gently.

But inside the exquisite gift box, there lay a top-quality jade bracelet.

Referring to the experience of another time and space, if we want it, people may offer five million.

"This is?"

"Boss Yu, a greeting gift."

"Sorry, it's too expensive."

Yu Yang slowly pushed the gift box over and said, "Just say it if you have something to say. We like to be straightforward here."

"Boss Yu, please be more kind tomorrow." Boss Wu pushed the gift box over again.

"You mean to ask me to withdraw from the bidding?"

"No, no, no, you can do whatever you want. I just hope you can hold back when it's our turn to hold up the sign."

"???"

What do you mean?
Yu Yang was a little confused, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

"I understand it very well." Boss Wu smiled and nodded, revealing an expression that said 'you understand'.

Then he stood up and said, "Boss Yu, I'm going back first. See you the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, he clasped his hands together, walked backwards out of the living room, and helped to gently close the door.

Yu Yang, the village head, and Chang Fu stared at each other, still unable to figure out what was going on.

A moment of silence.

The village chief picked up the gift box and looked at the jade bracelet inside. "Wow, it's cool and must be a good thing." "Not bad. If someone wants it, it could be worth five million."

"Five million? Holy shit, these rich people really don't take money seriously."

"Antiques and jade are all like this. As gifts, you can't afford the cheaper ones. Of course, the authenticity of these things depends entirely on your mouth."

Yu Yang said as he picked up Boss Wu's business card.

Company: Kunshan Aquatic Products.

Main products: white fish, freshwater shrimp and hairy crab.

"Logically speaking, the goal of both sides is to take Pingdong Lake."

"But this Mr. Wu gave us a gift on the eve of the bidding, and he also hoped that we would show some mercy when he raised his bid."

"Looking at the other person's expression, he seems to think that I understand what he means."

“The problem is, we don’t understand.”

Yu Yang pondered for a long time but could not find the answer.

'I've been reborn, but it feels like running a small agricultural company is even harder than running a 100 billion-level general contracting company!'

'Forget it, I drank fake wine tonight, go to sleep!'

……

The next day.

Yu Yang woke up with a splitting headache.

I asked the guesthouse to make me some sobering soup and then I slept until noon.

When I woke up again, I had no appetite, so I went to the street to find some snacks.

The small Pingdong County is as shabby as a pigsty.

In addition, Tai City focused on developing the urban area and rarely allocated funds to the lower levels. As a result, as of 99, Pingdong County only has one street that can be considered "in the city", Hanshan Street.

On both sides of the road are Computer City, High-Replica Broadway, High-Replica Asia Mall, as well as Tobacco Family Compound and Electric Power Family Compound...

However, twenty years later, this street became the most dilapidated street in Pingdong County.

Maybe it really is a cycle of twenty years.

Looking back at the past 99 years from 80 years ago, everything has changed dramatically.

In the past 20 years, looking back at the past 99 years, everything has changed dramatically.

If I hadn't been reborn, after 40 years, looking back at the past 20 years, perhaps everything would have been completely different.

Reborn now, in another twenty years...

Yu Yang sat in the back seat of the AMG Mercedes-Benz, looking for snacks and thinking.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the No. 1 Middle School in the county.

Sure enough, all the delicious food is at the school gate.

He immediately walked into a store that existed in his memory, picked up a metal basin, selected chopped vegetable leaves, shredded carrots, tofu, vermicelli, and said, "Add two eggs, one inside the pancake and one outside!"

"Okay!"

Not long after.

A hot vegetable pancake is out of the oven.

Yu Yang bought a cup of thick soy milk from the next door shop, and then sat under the eaves of the shop, feasting on it with the village chief and Chang Fu, who also bought a portion of vegetable pancakes.

It was noon.

The college entrance examination candidates who had not yet had their winter vacation finally made it to the end of get out of class.

Some were really worried, some were drowsy, and some were like birds out of a cage, heading straight for the computer room.

"Fuck, where did this Mercedes-Benz come from?"

"Oh my god, this Benz is even bigger than the one in the magazine!"

"AMG, the AMG written in your magazine!"

"Fuck, it's really an AMG!"

“Who is so rich?”

"Look at that hanged guy taking a cigarette from the car, so cool and handsome!"

"Do you think he looks like Yu Yang?"

"It does look like...it shouldn't be, right?"

Everyone, at every time period, has a few close friends, although they eventually drift apart.

Yu Yang thought carefully about his high school boarding school days and realized that he did have two very close buddies.

One slept head to head on the upper bunk, and the other slept on the lower bunk.

We ate together, fought together, and skipped classes to surf the Internet together.

Although the two brothers were average in academics, they were very loyal. Even when he dropped out of school and went home to make and sell bean sprouts, they would come to help every now and then.

Later, one of them went out to work and they could not see each other until the end of the year.

When one gets married and has children, they see each other less and less.

When they started building their own business, they became estranged from each other because they were busy at the construction site.

As we grew older and became less naive, we never met again.

Yu Yang looked at the two high school students who were looking at him from afar, "Why, now that I'm rich, you two don't recognize me?"

"Fuck!" x2
"Yangzi, is it really you?"

"Your father's brick kiln can't possibly make that much money even if it burns to the point of exploding, right?"

"Or have you found your long-lost wealthy father?"

"Get lost!" Yu Yang cursed with a smile and ordered some pancakes for the two of them. "I'll tell you guys a secret, don't spread any rumors. When my brick kiln was being dismantled, I dug out a gold nugget as big as a stone roller."

"Hiss..." X3
Yu Yang and the students on the upper and lower bunks gasped when they heard an extra sound. They turned around in surprise and found that the head teacher was listening attentively from behind.

Yu Yang unpacked the soft box Hua Xia, "Teacher, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten. Is Teacher Zhang okay with you?"

The Chinese teacher resigned and worked as a housekeeper for Yuyang, just like Sanyuan Agriculture, and few students knew about it.

But in the office, people are almost envied to death.

A monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan, with five insurances and one housing fund, a mobile phone, free food and accommodation, and reimbursement for buying clothes...

It’s a pity that the head teacher doesn’t know how to raise pigs, otherwise he would go to accompany Lao Yu no matter what.

"Teacher Zhang is learning handicrafts. She said she and my mother would use crop straw to create a weaving products company. I thought it was a good idea, so I gave her and her mother 100 million yuan and started messing around. By the way, Teacher Zhang's husband also moved to Shiliying and opened a hardware and electrical appliance store. He has made a lot of money recently."

The head teacher, who already envied Teacher Zhang, covered his chest and said, "Although the teacher scolded you, it was for your own good."

"How about you accompany my father to raise pigs?"

"Forget it, let's talk about it after the college entrance examination. There are still about a hundred days before the college entrance examination. It's okay to change the Chinese teacher, but I also teach mathematics part-time."

"Too."

Pingdong County No. 1 Middle School has a very good educational standard.

I remember that 99 was also the first year that universities expanded their enrollment.

Pingdong County No. 1 Middle School has more than ten students on the list of key undergraduate programs.

By the next year, someone even won the top spot in science at Dongshan University, went abroad, and never came back.

Yu Yang chatted with the head teacher for a while, and then said goodbye to each other. He turned around and looked at his bunk bed, "With your abilities, why do you still want to go to school? I will find a computer technician to be your master, and you two can learn from him and work as computer room managers in my company."

"Yoko, you started a company?"

“Sanyuan Agriculture.”

"I haven't heard of it. Is it big?"

As soon as the guy on the upper bunk finished speaking, the guy on the lower bunk slapped him on the back of his head, "Are you stupid? Yoko is driving an AMG, do you think the company is big?"

At this time.

Old classmate Chen Xi popped out from behind the car and looked at Yu Yang.

"You said you won the jackpot the other day, is that true?"

"I was just kidding you. Actually, I dismantled my father's brick kiln and took out a gold nugget the size of a stone mill."

"Let's go!" Without saying a word, Chen Xi took Yu Yang's hand and headed west.

"What are you going for?"

"Civil Affairs Bureau, get the certificate first!"

"Huh? You're not going to take the college entrance exam?"

"What's the point of taking the test? I want to marry you and live a life of idleness and waiting for death."

"You are so unmotivated, let me think about it."

"Tsk tsk, even though he's a big boss, he still acts like a coward."

"..."

"We agreed before that if I fail to get into university, you would arrange a job for me."

"Of course, your father and I have arranged everything."

Chen Xi smiled when she heard this, as if she had learned about Sanyuan Agriculture from Liu Yong last night. She raised her chin and said, "I want to ride on the Tiger Head!"

"Go play somewhere else. I want to take you two brothers for a ride." Yu Yang showed no pampering to his old deskmate. He motioned the two brothers who were sitting in the upper and lower bunks to go to the back row, and he got into the driver's seat. "Let's go."

The two brothers were still marveling at the feeling of being pushed on their backs when the AMG Benz was stopped by the traffic police after turning a corner.

"Show me your driver's license."

"..."

"No? I admire you three brothers for daring to steal a Mercedes-Benz with license plate number 66666 without even asking who the car belongs to. Get off quickly, or else if you are caught by Yu Sanyuan, it won't be as simple as just a few days in jail. I'm thinking about your whole family."

"Comrade, stop spreading rumors!"

……

I have been adjusting the outline these two days and the word count has not caught up. I will make up for it tomorrow.
