Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

It's unreasonable that the burden of the company is currently falling entirely on Fang Ping and Lin Hanyang. At this time, more talent should be brought in to share the load.

In comparison, Pan Lianhua doesn't have to worry much. The bamboo ware factory only needs to ensure the quality and quantity of the production plan assigned by the company; they don't need to worry about anything else.

Fang Ping's eyes lit up when he heard his third brother's words.

If he and Lin Hanyang had capable assistants, the company's situation might improve, and he wouldn't have to be so anxious all the time.

"Third brother, your idea is good! I'm just worried about delaying the company's development. If someone can lend a hand, maybe I can hold on a little longer."

Fang Wei then understood that his older brother didn't actually want to leave the company.

He decided that after returning, he would discuss with the board members how to adjust the furniture company's structure and appropriately reduce the pressure on Fang Ping and Lin Hanyang.

Hearing him say that, Tian Guihua's expression softened considerably. There were some things she couldn't say outright; the communal office couldn't treat its employees like beasts of burden, couldn't it? They needed to be given a break, didn't they?
the next day.

Fang Wei inspected the company's various departments, as well as the franchise store located in the provincial capital.

The company isn't actually lacking in talent; it's just that its structure is flawed, leaving some capable individuals without opportunities for advancement. He felt it was time for a change, given the generally crude corporate governance structures of the time.

Upon returning to the cooperative, Fang Wei convened a council meeting to specifically address the issue of the furniture company's organizational structure.

"I think we should establish a company board of directors, with Fang Ping as chairman and Lin Hanyang as general manager. In addition, Pan Lianhua should be relieved of her post as deputy manager, and she can serve as a director of the company and the factory manager of the bamboo ware factory."

In addition, the company's executive vice president and vice president should be reappointed, and several energetic and knowledgeable individuals should be promoted. The furniture factory needs a second phase of development; relying solely on the existing staff is insufficient.

At this point in time, with the Company Law not yet promulgated, the issue of corporate governance structure is already quite complicated.

Fang Wei didn't care about any of that. He set up a new company structure based on the limited liability company model. Anyway, it was an internal management matter, so he could do whatever he wanted with it.

In this way, Fang Ping, as the chairman, will be more responsible for macro-level matters, ensuring that the company's development stays on track.

Lin Hanyang and a group of professionals joined the management team to handle specific tasks. As for company veterans like Pan Lianhua, they were allowed to join the board of directors, no longer holding positions like vice president.

The board members aren't that busy, but vice presidents and similar positions are responsible for leading everyone to get things done.

In addition, the cooperative will also appoint two directors to the furniture company's board of directors, mainly to play a role in checks and balances and supervision.

Since the board members were not very familiar with this kind of thing, they naturally did whatever Fang Wei said and did not object at all.

Subsequently, the council passed a resolution and issued a restructuring plan for the furniture company.

"Third Brother, you acted really fast, dismissing me as deputy general manager right away. But it's good to make me a director, after all, I'm still the factory manager of the bamboo ware factory, so I have both substance and prestige."

Pan Lianhua had no complaints about the company's adjustments, especially the change in her own position.

She's just a figurehead as the deputy general manager; she doesn't care about anything at the company and actually hinders other people's career advancement.

Now that several vice presidents have been reappointed, they are all expected to get things done, so it's good that she can join the board of directors.

"Yes, the furniture company has grown too big, and the few of you are already struggling to manage it. This adjustment will be beneficial for the company's long-term development."

Fang Wei didn't say much. He knew that Pan Lianhua had no ambition; being a director was the pinnacle of her career.

A few days passed quickly.

The furniture company has completed its internal restructuring, and all positions are now filled.

How well the furniture company performs after the adjustments needs to be observed for a period of time; any unsuitable aspects can be further modified. Given the company's current strength, the margin for error is actually quite high.

Anyway, everyone is feeling their way across the river by feeling for stones.

After finishing this task, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

Fang Wei took his whole family to the Yao village to celebrate the festival, both to make his grandfather happy and to appease the villagers.

He's been really busy this year, visiting the village only a handful of times, and even Wang Songlin has his complaints.

After the lively holiday, the high-yield corn seeds from the two farms matured one after another, and a large number of corn seeds entered the market, which had a great impact on Xin Kaiqi.

In addition, it's time to harvest the soybean seeds, and customers in Northeast China have been waiting for a long time. As soon as they received the news, they rushed to the cooperative.

The largest output is still high-yield soybean seeds, with 6 mu of soybean seeds entering the market, directly affecting prices.

The price of high-yield soybean seeds has now fallen to around 8 yuan per kilogram, and there may be room for it to drop further.

"Secretary Fang, Li Wenhe is really at his wits' end. This guy always tries to chase the hottest varieties on the market. He planted a lot of soybeans before, and now the price of soybeans has plummeted even more than the price of soybean seeds!"

In the morning, Fang Wei was sitting in his office reviewing statistical reports when Zhao Jinsheng came in with some news.

Li Wenhe may run into trouble this time. He guided farmers in the township to plant a large number of soybeans, but unexpectedly, the price plummeted.

The soybean seeds from the cooperative were sold off quickly, but the soybeans grown by Li Wen and his village were not yet ripe. They didn't know how low the price would drop after they harvested the soybeans.

"Li Wenhe is always trying to take shortcuts; it's only a matter of time before he crashes and burns."

Fang Wei couldn't help but laugh. Li Wenhe deserved it, and so did those brainless farmers.

This season, the cooperative's large quantity of soybean seeds went on the market, completely alleviating the previous shortage of soybean seeds.

Although prices have fallen somewhat, the cooperative's output value from soybean seeds alone this season reached 3.5 million yuan, perfectly reaping the benefits of this wave of soybean seed price increases.

As for the next season, we might as well just plant rapeseed. I estimate that the price of rapeseed will also drop next year.

We can also take advantage of a time difference.

The cooperative successively purchased Xinlin Farm and Yangshan Farm. If they only grew rice, the profit would be very low. But breeding is different; seeds are expensive, and the key is to have the technology.

"Old Zhao, the two farms should hurry up and cultivate another batch of peanut seeds. The price of peanut seeds is still high and is not expected to drop before next spring."

Xinlin Farm has 4 mu of arable land, and Yangshan Farm has 8 mu of arable land.

As for the cooperative's paddy fields, which are used to cultivate rice seeds, there are only 3.5 mu of dry and sloping land. 5000 mu of these lands are allocated to cultivate seeds, and the remaining 3 mu of dry land will also be used to cultivate peanut seeds in the third season.

As a result, by the end of the year, 21 mu of high-yield peanut seeds will be on the market, and it is expected that there will be no shortage of supply in the market for a long time.

Next spring, Fang Wei plans to focus on cultivating the [Yuxiang 083] corn seed variety at Yangshan Farm, covering an area of ​​8 mu. This would allow them to directly compete with Xin Kaiqi. Xin Kaiqi's main product is corn seed, and the cooperative's actions will make things very difficult for them.

Fang Wei wanted this effect. There's nothing wrong with striking back after the fact; it will definitely teach the new Cage a profound lesson.

"Time is a bit tight, I'll arrange it right away."

Zhao Jinsheng dared not delay and immediately arranged production activities.

The peanut seed cultivation cycle of the cooperative is about 45 days, so we should be able to make it in time if we work hard.

Fang Wei can finally take a break, but some people don't think so. Li Wenhe has sued the cooperative again, saying that the other party has violated market rules and used its monopoly advantage to retaliate.

"Secretary Cui, isn't Li Wenhe talking nonsense? He grows soybeans, while the cooperative cultivates soybean seeds. The two are completely different things. He made a mistake in his judgment and still has the nerve to come and complain?"

Fang Wei arrived at Cui Yiming's office and immediately began to complain as soon as she sat down.

It should be noted that the cooperative's high-yield soybean seeds are sold all over the country. Even if it has an indirect impact on soybean prices, it is not directed at Li Wenhe.

Because of the limited production capacity of Liwenhe Township, it was impossible for Fang Wei to take action.

"This guy is a good-for-nothing who is all talk and no action. The worst part is that he's not a decent person. I was really blind to have him back then."

Cui Yiming pointed to the whistleblower letter that Fang Wei had just received before arriving, his face grim.

The whistleblower letter was likely written by someone with inside information, which listed some connections between Li Wenhe and Xin Kaiqi, as well as Li Wenhe's extramarital affair with Yang Meijuan.

Cui Yiming had given his approval to promote Li Wenhe, but now the matter has become a burden for him.

Fang Wei nodded, feeling sorry for his brother Zheng Hu. Zheng Hu had been defeated by this very person; it was humiliating to think about. However, he still agreed that Hu Zi should take a position in the county; the man wasn't suited to stay in the countryside.

"Secretary Cui, from now until next year, the prices of soybean seeds and soybeans will fall, and the price of rapeseed will not be much better."

There wasn't much to say about Li Wenhe's matter, so Fang Wei took the initiative to change the subject.

Cui Yiming's attention was indeed drawn to this, and he immediately asked many detailed questions, which Fang Wei answered one by one.

At that moment, his secretary hurriedly walked in.

Secretary Cui

“Speak your mind, there’s no need to hide it from Secretary Fang.”

"Li Wenhe's wife, along with her brothers, went to catch them in the act of adultery and successfully apprehended Li Wenhe and Yang Meijuan while they were having an affair. His wife's family is large, and they are currently parading the two of them through the streets."

The secretary explained the whole story in a few words, leaving Cui Yiming and Fang Wei looking at each other in bewilderment.

Some people are really hard to keep quiet about; this kind of thing happened right after I started talking about it.

"Nonsense! No matter what, they can't just parade people through the streets. They have no right to do that! Notify the nearest unit immediately and tell them to handle this. This is outrageous!"

Cui Yiming felt humiliated and wished he could slap Li Wenhe hard across the face.

But this farce couldn't continue, otherwise Li Wenhe would completely embarrass the county. So, he quickly sent his secretary to make a phone call to bring the situation under control.

Fang Wei tactfully took his leave; he didn't go to watch the spectacle because he knew Li Wenhe was completely finished.

To be honest, he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment. He hadn't even used his big move against Li Wenhe and Yang Meijuan when they themselves exposed their own problems.

Just a few days after the holiday, Li Wenhe was dismissed from all his posts, and his future was ruined.

Yang Meijuan also slunk back to the company, only to be dismissed as well. The company wasn't interested in her private life, but it certainly wouldn't do for her personal issues to tarnish the company's reputation.

And most importantly, Yang Meijuan did not gain any advantage under Fang Wei's control, and Xin Kaiqi suffered in silence, so naturally he would not tolerate her any longer.

"This is really interesting. We haven't even really made a move yet, and two of our opponents have already fallen on their own."

Zhao Jinsheng and the others were busy gossiping, especially about Li Wenhe's wife leading a pair of adulterous people through the streets, which was quite a spectacle.

The cooperative had suffered a lot of mistreatment from Li Wenhe and Yang Meijuan, but now everyone is finally relieved.

Fang Wei smiled and shook his head, saying, "This matter is not over yet. Li Wenhe and Yang Meijuan have fallen, but don't forget, we still have to face New Cage in the future."

"What's there to be afraid of? New Cage's technology isn't as good as ours, and we can't compete with their product variety and output. We'll crush them sooner or later."

The board members didn't care about New Cage at all; from any perspective, the cooperative was likely to lose to them. This was their confidence, stemming from the cooperative's strength and also from having a powerful figure like Fang Wei within their ranks.

Fang Wei shook his head. It wasn't a good time to talk about it now. They could talk about it another time.

In reality, Yang Meijuan and Li Wenhe are just minor players. Their absence won't have a significant impact on New Cage. The competition in the future will be even fiercer, and victory won't be so easy.

Next, Fang Wei talked to everyone about the autumn harvest and then announced the end of the meeting.

three days later.

The cooperative, breeding center, and Yao village have officially kicked off the autumn harvest.

Agricultural production in the commune has now been largely mechanized, and even the Yao villages in the mountains have reached a semi-mechanized level. The Yao villages are mainly limited by their terrain, not by their inability to afford agricultural machinery.

The yields of the [Nanguang No. 4] and [Nongyou 82] rice varieties remain stable, which is nothing to say about. Unless there is another varietal mutation, there will be no surprises.

However, after two years of continuous cultivation, the supply of the [Nongyou 82] rice variety is somewhat exceeding demand.

After the autumn harvest was completed, Fang Wei announced the sale of rice seeds. 【Nanguang No. 4】sold out almost immediately, but sales of 【Nongyou 82】single rice seeds were somewhat slow.

Fang Wei is not in a hurry. He will adjust the production ratio of rice seeds next year and take the initiative to reduce production.

Nowadays, breeding work has made great progress in various regions, and many excellent hybrid rice varieties have emerged, creating a fierce competitive situation.

Fang Wei never intended to expand the rice production area from the beginning; what he wanted was to maintain technological leadership, not market monopoly.

He estimates that the cooperative's total revenue this year will exceed 15 billion yuan, with net profit of at least 600 million yuan after deducting expenses. The biggest expense at the end of the year will be dividends, estimated to be around 100 million yuan.

The cooperative has long since moved beyond the stage of capital accumulation; there's no need for it to always pursue profit maximization. (End of Chapter)
