I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 79 Two peaches kill three people
Hangmao Building, inside Jinliang Oil Company.

Jin Lizhi, the company's president, walked into the reception room with quick steps and a smile on his face.

After meeting the legendary old businessman from Red Star Trading, Jin Lizhi felt like he was almost seen through by the other person's eyes.

The feeling of being seen through is just like when a primary school student is called to the office to see the head teacher after class. It feels awkward all over!

"Mr. Shang, welcome, welcome! There was a traffic jam on the road just now, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." Jin Lizhi forced a stiff smile.

“Brother Jin, you are too polite! Let’s just chat about business normally, just like on WeChat. There’s no need to be so restrained.” The old businessman nodded and invited the other party to take a seat, as if he was at home.

He waved his hand and asked the two iron puppet drivers and bodyguards to wait outside the door.

Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Jin Lizhi sighed inwardly: "This is a real boss!"

Jin Lizhi had only seen this kind of temperament in the bigwigs who sat on the stage as special guests and association chairmen during the annual meeting of the Rizhao Grain and Oil Association.

Of course, the reason why he had this preconceived illusion.

It is also because Lao Shang, the [swindler villager], after absorbing a lot of knowledge from human books, such as "An Actor's Self-cultivation", and through a period of practical exploration, has learned the most advanced acting skills and expression control from humans.

You know, the villagers in the MC game will keep the same expression until the Game Over.

For old businessmen who appear in the real world, it is easy to imitate the demeanor of the big guys in those commercial films and interview videos of the richest people.

So with these prerequisites, once this dog-headed military advisor is able to control human nature, he will be much stronger than the young man Chen Jue.

……

After the two chatted for a few sentences, the living room became lively and cheerful.

In particular, Jin Lizhi personally made tea to entertain this talkative senior boss.

After finishing the polite remarks, Chen Shang waved to the bodyguard waiting outside the door, asked him to take a soybean sample sealed in a plastic bag from his briefcase and put it on the table, and said straight to the point: "Brother Jin, this is the latest batch of soybeans from our Red Star Trade that will be arriving soon. Take a look at the quality of the sample, and tell me how much you can eat."

When Jin Lizhi heard that a sex scene was about to begin, he immediately stopped listening to the boss' instructions and picked up the soybean samples to take a closer look.

But the more he looked, the weirder Jin Lizhi's expression became: "Brother Shang, are you sure these are soybeans grown by the Russians? Why do they look so similar to the Black Farmer 48 variety?"

As the head of Jinliang Oils and Fats, Jin Lizhi has been working in this industry for more than 20 years.

No matter what kind of bean seeds he gets, he can basically tell them clearly just by touching and looking at them.

Especially soybeans imported from northern Russia, Rizhao Port has also imported them. Most of them are Russian varieties, such as Lipska, Magadan, Volga, Heilongjiang soybeans, etc.

Because the climate in the Russian Far East is much worse than that in the three northeastern provinces of China.

In the Russian survival proverb, winter is their best friend.

The same goes for the crops they grow!
Although the black soil there is very fertile, if you want to grow large areas of soybeans in the Far East, the first thing is to be able to withstand low temperatures and severe cold.

This leads to differences in the quality of soybeans produced in the two places.

Take the simple bean pods as an example. Most of the pods produced by domestic soybeans and American genetically modified soybeans are yellow, green and purple.

But the soybeans grown by Maozi are a bit unique. Most of the pods they grow are actually pitch black!
It's just like the saying "a tangerine in the south grows differently in the north".

People who don’t know might think it’s a variety mutation, but in fact the soybean seeds are very slightly different.

Only an expert like Jin Lizhi can clearly distinguish the land after getting the bean seeds.

"Brother Jin, you have a good eye! These are the domestic varieties of Heilong 48 and Heihe 43 grown in the Far East, but they were taken to the Russians for local improvement. Although the oil yield is not as good as those genetically modified soybeans in America, it is healthier." Lao Shang explained with a smile.

"Ah? Localized improvement? Take our bean varieties and improve them?" Jin Lizhi was slightly stunned.

Since the Russians have a lot of excellent cold-resistant and drought-resistant soybean varieties that they don't use, is there any need to improve soybeans from other countries?
That's just because you have eaten your fill and have nothing to do!

If an ordinary person mentioned this ridiculous thing, he would definitely spit in the other person's face.

But the person who said this was the business tycoon in front of him who had a lot of experience.

That's most likely true!

So Jin Lizhi convinced himself and brainwashed himself, and at the same time imagined an image of a super-large farmer who owned a large farm and breeding base somewhere in the Far East. Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Shang, these beans are really good! If all the procedures are complete, non-GMO soybeans are very popular in the market now!"

"I just don't know how much production you can provide?"

Old Shang smiled mysteriously when he heard this, knowing that the human in front of him had fallen into the trap he had set, so he raised a thumb and said, "I wonder if your gold grain can handle this amount?"

"A thousand tons?"

Jin Lizhi first reported a number carefully.

Seeing that the big man in front of him was still silent, Jin Lizhi swallowed and continued to guess: "One... ten thousand tons?"

You should know that Jinliang Oil is just a small and medium-sized enterprise with a medium-sized vegetable oil factory under its name.

When the market is good, we can only crush about 8,000 to 9,000 tons of soybeans a year. If we crush more, the production line will be fully loaded and the capital chain will not be able to keep up.

What's more, if they were to barely take on the big boss's 10,000 tons, the old group of suppliers would be upset.

Seeing that this human had almost given away everything, the big-nosed profiteer continued to show off with a green gleam in his eyes: "One ship has 10,000 tons. Our Red Star Trade will have dozens of similar flights arriving in Hong Kong soon."

"Several...hundreds of thousands of tons?"

Jin Lizhi was shocked when he heard the astonishing number. While calculating the market value of this batch of Far East soybeans in his mind, a look of panic appeared on his face: "Brother Shang, this number is too much! We are just doing a small business at Jinliang. If the price is right, three or four thousand tons is the limit."

The big-nosed profiteer smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, brother Jin, just take as much as you can! Don't force yourself. I have a discount list here, the more you buy, the more discounts you will get. Just write me back after you've considered it."

After saying this, the old businessman asked the bodyguard played by the Iron Golem to hand over another document.

By the way, with Jin Lizhi's consent, he was added to a group chat called "Red Star Trading Phase 1 Soybean Order Group" through WeChat.

At first, Jin Lizhi didn't care much about this group.

But after seeing the prices on the discount list given by the old merchant, his eyes widened: "Damn it! How can the Russians sell soybeans at this price? Are they crazy because of poverty?"

"For every additional 1 tons ordered, you'll get an additional % discount?"

"If I order 10,000 tons, wouldn't I be able to get a 10% discount?" Jin Lizhi, who kept an eye on the price trend of soybean futures all day, immediately realized as soon as he saw the abnormal discount list that what he saw was either a huge fortune or a huge trap.

Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Lao Shang changed from the original awe to a bit more suspicion.

Because the price of soybeans has always been open and transparent in the market!
The recent price of domestic soybeans has stabilized at 4800 yuan per ton.

The arrival price of genetically modified soybeans in the Gulf and West regions of the United States fluctuates around RMB 4500 per ton.

As for the raw soybeans, which have a market share of only a few percent, although they are non-GMO good products, their oil yield and soybean meal rate are not as good as those of American high-tech live soybeans, so they are sold at a maximum of 5600 yuan per ton.

If we sell beans at a discount based on this market, wouldn't that mean we have to pay out of our own pocket to subsidize the market?

Such a business that is obviously a loss-making one at a glance, Jin Lizhi has never heard of it in all his years in Rizhao!

With such concerns, Mr. Jin, the boss of Jinliang Oil, originally wanted to hear how Mr. Shang in front of him would explain the secret of this discount list.

Unexpectedly, this mysterious boss said goodbye and left after drinking the tea.

This free and easy demeanor made Jin Lizhi a little confused.

If he really encountered a deliberate "scammer", the other party should be doing his best to trick him into paying and placing an order.

How can he cheat if he just walked away so casually?
“Can it really be sold so cheaply?”

"If we can get a few percentage points discount, the factory can save at least several million a year just on buying beans." Jin Lizhi became a little suspicious.

But when he saw that in the newly joined small group, there were a bunch of familiar colleagues on WeChat @ the group owner reporting the reserved number, he immediately realized that he might have been too cautious!
It doesn’t cost any money to report a reservation amount, and you don’t even have to pay a deposit. Where can you find such a good resource supplier?

If he is a big liar, he will definitely not do such a good thing as giving away money!
After checking the chat messages in the group, Jin Lizhi learned that a shipload of spot soybeans would arrive at the port at around 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow. He hesitated for a moment, ran to the finance department to inquire about the financial situation in the company's accounts, and carefully reported a number of 4000 tons in the group.

Soon, he received a reply from @Red Star Trade Old Merchant: "OK, Mr. Jin, your goods will arrive at the port next week."

“@Everyone, the first batch of 1 tons of spot goods will be delivered the day after tomorrow evening. If you have time, come and take a look at the quality.”

So at the call of the group leader, dozens of executive cars such as Audi A8, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class gathered at the terminal parking lot of Rizhao Port that night.

Those who got off the bus were all owners of small and medium-sized enterprises of similar size to Jinliang Oils and Fats.

After these people arrived at the dock, they looked at each other warily.

Because in the Rizhao grain and oil market, peers are all competitors, and they usually rely on large companies like COFCO to get a share of the profits.

In order to grab spot soybeans in the port, or to sell oil or soybean meal, frictions sometimes arise, and it is normal for them to be at odds with each other.

Even Jin Lizhi, who was known for his good temper, saw several competitors who were not on the same page as him among the crowds of people.

"Damn it! Why are there so many people here?"

"The business methods of this Red Star Trading are really rough!"

"you do not say!"

"After the more than one million red envelopes were thrown out, half of the old guys who were engaged in grain and oil business in Rizhao Port were stirred up."

"This isn't 'killing three warriors with two peaches' anymore. They're trying to catch us all in one net!"

"Lao Lin, you're exaggerating! We need millions of tons of soybeans every year. Even if Red Star Trading is awesome, they can't supply us with so much spot goods, right?"

Several familiar bosses were smoking and squatting on the open space at the dock, having a heated discussion.

Seeing this, Jin Lizhi also pricked up his ears, took out a bag of diamond lotus and sneaked in.

When you meet acquaintances, say hello and find out more gossip about Red Star Trading from others to avoid falling behind your peers.

……

In this atmosphere of waiting with the night breeze blowing, some sharp-eyed boss shouted, "The Red Star Trading ship has arrived!"

A group of middle-aged bosses dropped their cigarette butts and trotted to the specialized soybean unloading area, eagerly waiting.

Not long after, under the ultra-high lumen lighting at the dock, a bulk carrier with a silver-gray paint and a modern and technological feel slowly approached the berthing area under the tow of several small tugboats.

"Iron Man No. 001?"

“Which logistics company’s ship is this?”

"I've never heard of it, but this ship looks pretty advanced!"

"This should be the latest model of dual-powered 10,000-ton cargo ship, right? It can probably run more than 20 or 30 knots when fully loaded!" Several middle-aged bosses stared at the side of the ship and started talking.

In the field of shipbuilding, appearance is justice.

This brand new old bulk cargo ship, as soon as it entered the port, was the most beautiful ship in the entire berthing area.

Some people who knew what they were doing even took out their cell phones to take photos and videos along the way.

When the boat was parked and the zippered hatch was opened, the golden soybeans inside looked plump under the light of the dock, and the fragrance of the soybeans wafted in the wind.

The sight of the truck loaded with tens of thousands of tons of soybeans made all the bosses present stare in amazement!
"It's spot beans! Not stock beans!"

"I can smell the fragrance of freshly picked beans!"

"Oh my god! Such a good product is being sold at a discount?"

There was a commotion among the onlookers on the dock.

Especially the three middle-aged bosses who placed the first batch of orders, they showed an excited expression of "I have definitely made a profit this time", and boasted to everyone that their goods were sold here, which aroused the envy and jealousy of many colleagues.

When the finance department of Red Star Trading arrived at the dock, they counted the payment in front of the bosses watching and started to deliver the first batch of 10,000 tons of soybeans.

The bosses who arrived, including Jin Lizhi, who had made reservations later, slapped their thighs with annoyance on their faces: "Damn it! I placed the order one step later than others!"

"Mr. Shang was the first one to come to me!"
