Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 93 After the Bidding
the other side.

When the boss saw Yu Yang walking out of the venue, he quickly said a few words to his office secretary and hurriedly followed.

Because until now, he still doesn't know what Sanyuan Agriculture is contracting Pingdong Lake to do.

There is no need to say much about the importance of Pingdong Lake.

Now, the Oriental Water Conservancy Agency, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Management Committee, and even the commissioner sent by Mr. Wan are all present.

When the project is mentioned later, he will have to say something.

However, when I walked out of the venue, I heard Yu Yang tell Boss Wu: "We don't want to keep it, we'll rent it out."

Old Dong was slightly stunned.

I helped you through thick and thin, and even went through fire and water, and begged for help from everyone, and finally commercialized Pingdong Lake.

You get it and rent it out?

But because I love the person and his dog, I changed my mind.

Good guy!
You really have to rent it out.

Because the important factor restricting the scale of aquaculture has never been the area of ​​lakes.

But transportation.

This not only includes difficult roads, bandits and robbers, and the difficulty in preserving aquatic products, but also toll stations at all levels where tolls must be paid every ten miles or so.

Just like bean sprouts.

It is not valuable in the south, and you can buy a pound for three cents.

But when transporting from Guangqu to the north, you need to pay tolls when you leave Guangqu's urban area, and you need to pay tolls when you approach the next county town, and you need to pay tolls again when you leave the county town...

So when bean sprouts are brought to the north, even if one pound is divided into two pieces and each piece is sold for 2 yuan, it is not certain that one will make any money.

Therefore, Sihaitongda Agricultural Trade Company likes to travel to Beijing and Northeast China.

Because there is a green channel on the highway, you can avoid tolls.

The transportation cost of aquatic products is so high, especially the farther the transport goes, the higher the cost, which results in aquatic products being limited to local sales.

The local market's absorption capacity is limited, so aquaculture farmers dare not expand their breeding.

Then they will go to other places to open farms, just like Kunshan Aquatic Products in southern Jiangsu and Huai'an Aquatic Products in northern Jiangsu that participated in the bidding.

On the other hand, Pingdong Lake.

Before, if the entire water area was contracted, considering the absorption capacity of the surrounding market, the maximum profit could be 3000 million per year.

But if a light rail is opened, it will connect to Taiqian in the west and Tai City in the east. Relying on the two transportation hubs, it can then go north to Liao City and Dongshan Prefecture, or south to He City and Nanhe Province.

The economic benefits of Pingdong Lake can at least increase several times, or even dozens of times.

At this time, Sanyuan Agriculture, which contracted Pingdong Lake, divided Pingdong Lake into several areas and subcontracted them out.

The rent collected will definitely be several times or even dozens of times the bidding fee.

Moreover, retaining the three aquatic product companies is equivalent to attracting investment to Tai City.

"He's still our own child, smart and capable."

After thinking it through, Mr. Dong straightened his back and returned to the podium.

As for how to explain this to the Eastern Water Conservancy Agency, the Grand Canal Management Committee, and Grandpa Wan’s special commissioner…

Let’s not talk about Pingdong Lake, let’s talk about the light rail.

For example, it boosted the development of Shiliying... no, it boosted the development of western Shandong. In the future, it may even awaken the Central Plains economy and reproduce the ancient glory.

I believe that leaders who come from the Central Plains also hope that their hometown can change.

In this way, we can ask the capital for money and try to build a better light rail.

To avoid outside doubts about the abandoned track...

……

Yu Yang didn't know what the boss was thinking.

All he knew was that Pingdong Lake had been taken, and the third-level village and town center was almost in his hands.

So he got into the AMG Benz, first notified his eldest brother Zhao Qian to send troops to Pingdong Lake, and then went straight to the county compound.

Boss Wu, who stayed where he was, watched the AMG Benz disappear in the wind and snow, then turned around, walked into the meeting room, and found the secretary in the boss' office.

Sanyuan Agricultural Company was not an agent, but it raised the price itself and took away the contracting rights of Pingdong Lake.

Just take it away, don’t raise it, just rent it out.

No matter how you look at it, this routine seems like they got the general contract for the project from the government and then subcontracted it to the lower levels.

In other words, someone took advantage of the situation.

And eat a lot.

After all, Pingdong Lake without light rail is worth at most 3000 million.

But Pingdong Lake, with its light rail, may be worth 3 million or even 30 billion.

Regardless, raise objections.

"Leader, I think this bidding is very unfair."

The boss's office secretary was accompanying the boss in boasting about the value of the light rail to distinguished guests from Beijing.

After being pulled out by Boss Wu, he heard the questioning and smiled slightly.

The bidding conference has not yet ended.

If you have any questions, you can raise them on the spot.

With so many leaders here, it can definitely be solved.

But the other party found me privately, probably wanting to get some valuable information, so I said kindly: "Mr. Wu, please speak."

"Leader, is Tai City planning to build a light rail?"

"No, you should know that Tai City does not have the conditions to build a light rail."

"But I heard that our local area plans to invest 80 billion to build a light rail from Shiliying to Tai City."

"Oh, well, don't listen to what the outside world says."

As the office secretary spoke, he took out the administrative planning map of Tai City from his briefcase and drew a long, thin circle between Shiliying and Tianwai Bridge with a pencil.

He continued, "After Sanyuan Agriculture contracted these arable lands, in order to facilitate the transportation of fruits and vegetables and to facilitate the transportation of employees to and from get off work, it decided to build a light transportation track for both passengers and cargo. To save trouble, some staff members simply called it the light rail."

"Leader, an investment of this magnitude is enough to overturn the contract price. It should be made public before the bidding begins."

"Public announcement? It's not good for the city to make public the factory's affairs, right? Just like the internal decisions of your company, will they be made public to the local officials?"

When Boss Wu heard this, he thought about how his company found hairy crabs from other places and sold them in Yangcheng Lake. He felt that what the office secretary said made sense and that it really could not be made public.

The office secretary continued, "Besides, Yu Sanyuan is not so easy to get along with. If the city opens the track plan to him, what will happen if people are demolished along the way? When the cost goes up, he will get angry and stop repairing it. Will you pay for the 80 billion?"

"..."

"But then again, Pingdong Lake is so big, and the superiors' requirements are so strict. He took the general contracting rights, divided the water area into more than a dozen areas, and then subcontracted it to you. Even if the price is a bit high, it is worth it for you. At least you can use Sanyuan Agriculture's track and don't have to bear the consequences of 'life imprisonment at the least, or execution at the worst.'"

Boss Wu nodded.

Just as we thought before, Pingdong Lake with light rail and Pingdong Lake without light rail are two different concepts.

The light rail was built by someone else, so the rental fee will naturally increase.

Especially since I heard that Sanyuan Agriculture is very influential in the local area, but I want to do business there...

2000 million a year, as long as the water area is suitable, it is totally worth the investment.

Thinking.

A man in cadre uniform hurriedly found the office secretary.

"Yu Yang went to the county compound and said that the feng shui there was good and he wanted to chase us away..."

"Then you guys move now. It's not a big deal. Do you still need to consult me?"

"..."

When Boss Wu saw this scene, he was secretly shocked.

What is the origin of Sanyuan Agriculture?
Could Yu Yang’s surname be Dong?

……

County compound.

Yu Yang did not chase anyone away, but took out the light rail planning map and drew half a vertical line.

The light rail starts from Shiliying, follows the west bank of Pingdong Lake, and turns northeast.

Then cross the Xiaoqing River where Pingdong Lake connects to the Yellow River, arrive at the northeast corner of Pingdong Lake, then head east all the way to Tianwai Bridge in Tai City.

If you turn down at the northeast corner of Pingdong Lake, that is, follow the east bank of Pingdong Lake all the way south for about 50 miles, you will reach Pingdong County.

Yu Yang originally did not plan to set up branch lines, but after dividing Pingdong Lake into several water areas and then subcontracting them out, he had to take care of the fishery company in the southern section.

Coincidentally, my family also wanted to occupy the county compound, so they left the light rail station here.

The county supervisor fully agreed with this.

He even planned to move the county seat to Shiliying.

However, Pingdong County is a thousand-year-old ancient city, and Shiliying is located at the junction of three provinces and four cities, which is not suitable for overall coordination, so this idea had to be abandoned.

However, we still need to inform the city about this matter.

During the waiting period.

Yu Yang called out the translucent page and looked at the 3D bird's-eye view.

Behind the Shiliying Township compound, hundreds of farmers were seen dragging cement fishing boats that had been made long ago onto the frozen lake.

Then these cement fishing boats were deployed in various waters according to the occupation requirements.

Unfortunately, Pingdong Lake is 700 square kilometers and it will take a while to finish the work.

A little bit.

The cadres who went to question the city came back and told us to move now.

At the same time, he brought back the news that the city was hosting a banquet to entertain the bidding companies and many leaders.

……

noon.

Pingdong County Guesthouse.

Mr. Dong accompanied the distinguished guests from Beijing.

Yu Yang accompanied three aquatic companies.

During the banquet.

Boss Wu was much more enthusiastic than before, "Boss Yu, I wonder how much water area you can get with 2000 million a year?"

"70 square kilometers, about 10 acres."

Boss Wu nodded, indicating that he was quite satisfied.

One tenth of Pingdong Lake is enough to cultivate a variety of aquatic products.

but.

When bidding for Pingdong Lake, notes were taken of the surrounding conditions.

In other words, there are many farmers who make a living from fishing around Pingdong Lake. They occupy many embankments and even transform the ponds.

Considering the impact of the Xiaohu Town battle, the successful bidder must not cause disputes.

In other words, those waters do not belong to the contracted area.

The problem is that there are droughts and floods.

During droughts, Pingdong Lake shrinks.

When there is flood, the water level of Pingdong Lake rises.

How to divide the areas then?

Boss Wu expressed his concerns.

"This is easy to solve. Just like in Shiliying, if you ask the villagers to vacate their yards and farmland, they will definitely not be willing to do so. But if you provide them with food and accommodation, give them houses after working for three years, and pay them a considerable salary, they will definitely be willing to hand over their yards and farmland to you. What's more, if you launch commercial housing, they will also be willing to buy it.

In this way, all your initial investment will be returned.

In the same way, farmers who make a living by fishing do so to make a living. If you can make their lives better than they are now, they will definitely be willing to give up their ponds and follow you."

Boss Wu pondered over it and suddenly realized, "Isn't this the demolition routine used by some real estate developers? Has Boss Yu ever been involved in real estate?"

"Do I look like someone who works in real estate when I'm so young?"

"What about your home?"

"My father raises pigs, my mother makes handicrafts at home, and I only went to high school."

Boss Wu raised his glass and said, "Boss Yu, I won't say more. I have invested in this project. I hope you will take care of me in the future."

"Easy to say!"

Huainan Aquatic Products in northern Jiangsu also confirmed its investment plan upon seeing Boss Wu nod.

As for the import and export of aquatic products in Guang District, they had been eyeing the large prawns from Pingdong Lake, intending to package them into an imported brand, but they followed Boss Wu's plan because it could save money.

Now that I have failed, I can only spend money.

Just like the previous verbal agreement, 2000 million per year.

In order to avoid subsequent price increases, the three fishery companies all chose to sign an 8-year contract.

When Sanyuan Agriculture renews its contract with Tai City, we will also renew the contract.

In order to build good relationships, they agreed to introduce several large aquatic product companies to the group.

In this way, Yu Yang got 4.8 million.

After making up for the 1 million yuan spent on the construction of Shiliying, the company will have 3.8 million yuan left to build the light rail.

But the maximum cost of building a light rail is 8000 million yuan, and the Guangdong Development Bank has set up a special fund for it, so it can reimburse whatever it spends...

"The 3.8 million is for building roads, parking lots, and residential buildings in Shiliying."

“Or should we pave the restaurant and add a fast food restaurant to every street in Tai City, Pingdong, and Pingyang?”

Yu Yang thought about it for a long time and chose the latter. At the same time, he added a parallel track to the light rail line to prevent the increase in transportation volume in the future, which would require trains coming and going to stop at certain stations for a long time before they could meet each other.

By the same token, three additional tracks are added to the station to facilitate the smooth passage of other trains when unloading and parking.

While Yu Yang was thinking, he toasted with three bosses from the south.

A little bit.

Old Dong led several distinguished guests from the capital and came over.

Everyone stood up quickly and introduced their respective investment projects one by one.

Yu Yang did not introduce the plastic greenhouse, but instead sent a lot of hot pot and fruit plates.

The leaders readily agreed and gave some words of encouragement, which brought the bidding to a close.

……

That night.

3D aerial view.

On the vast Pingdong Lake, there are more and more cement fishing boats with views.

The area occupied by the family in Pingdong County is also increasing steadily.

15%, 23%, 41%, 50%...

[You have occupied more than 50% of the territory in the current area (Pingdong County), and the decisive battle has begun.]
next moment.

The minions on both sides of the field of vision who were cheering, although still wearing tattered clothes, had second-hand helmets worn crookedly on their heads, and the hoes and sticks in their hands had turned into broken swords and guns.

[Village center, third level.]
[You have unlocked the intermediate farmland.]
Intermediate farmland: upgraded from primary farmland, non-transformed farmland. You can choose to retain the seeds of crops of the current season to ensure that after planting, the yield of the next level is not lower than that of the current quarter, and there is a probability of increasing the yield by 10%~30%.

Yu Yang contacted his elder brother Zhao Qian and asked him to arrange for farmers to start construction and planting soybeans.

A little bit.

On the north side of Hangai Township, there is a rectangular block 100 meters long and 6.6 meters wide.

The surface is no different from real farmland, but there is a row of translucent fonts floating above it.

Intermediate farmland: 1 acre, currently planted with soybeans, expected to mature in 30 days.

Intermediate farmland: maximum size is 1000 acres.

Yu Yang used the phone and 3D bird's-eye view to operate for a long time, and suddenly found that intermediate farmland does not require farmers to be stationed there. He only needs to arrange farmers to sow seeds, and then weed, fertilize and irrigate regularly, and wait until the crops are ripe before harvesting.

However, intermediate farmland still has the characteristics of improved farmland, that is, arranging more farmers can speed up the maturity of crops.

"1000 acres, and there are exactly 1000 brothers in my family."

"So, each farmer holds 1 point of improved farmland and 1 mu of intermediate farmland."

Yu Yang was thinking about it and was about to close the translucent page, but he found that after his family occupied Pingdong County.

The 3D bird's-eye view switches to the Tai City area, then the crossed swords symbol is attached to the city compound and new units are given.

[Occupy more than 50% of the land in the current area (Thai City) and start the decisive battle.]
[Successfully occupy this place (Thai City) and obtain a first-level town center.]
Level 1 Town Center: Activate Trade Hall and Wonders.

Trade Hall: A large building that can be used to trade goods.

Wonder: A large landmark that is of ornamental value only.

“There are still wonders?”
