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

Few can provide breeding technology, and even fewer can provide land.

As a result, everyone expressed their opinions, and the deep integration plan was approved.

"Now I'll talk about the agricultural company. From now on, there will only be one voice in the public's mouth: the agricultural group company. All members are the owners of the company. We won't engage in any deceptive practices. We will adhere to the path of collective economy in the future."

The agricultural group company is a collectively owned enterprise, and all land, forest land, and other assets of the various units will be transferred to the agricultural company. However, since land and forest land cannot be transferred, the agricultural company nominally still belongs to the Yaoling Cooperative, the Tianbingyi Cooperative, and the Yao Village.

Fang Wei then stated that he would get the agricultural company back into normal operation as soon as possible.

In theory, every member is a shareholder of the company, but this cannot be stated publicly. Therefore, the agricultural company is, on the surface, a collective enterprise established by three cooperatives.

People didn't care about how it worked; after the meeting resolutions were announced, the company held a general meeting of all members.

This resolution can only be implemented if it is passed at the general meeting of members.

Due to the large number of participants, the vote had to be conducted in brigade-level units. Fang Wei was very satisfied with the final result: over 85% of the members agreed to the complete merger of the three units.

Starting next year, the Yaoling Cooperative, Tianbingyi Cooperative, and Yao Village will organize production, allocate materials and funds in a unified manner, and distribute resources in a unified way.

We all belong to Yaoling Agricultural Group Company, and each of us is a shareholder of the company, except that the shares are held on our behalf by three cooperatives.

Fang Wei finally sorted out this matter, which laid a solid foundation for the company's future development.

The group company subsequently established a decision-making committee, which was largely similar in nature to a board of directors or council. The company then began operations, some of the cooperative's directors went to the provincial capital, and the decision-making body became functional.

People like Fang Wei and Zhao Jinsheng spend most of their time in the county, but they need to go to the provincial capital for meetings from time to time.

The cooperative abolished its sales department, which was then transferred to the company's sales department. Furthermore, all enterprises affiliated with the cooperative underwent business registration changes and were transferred free of charge to the agricultural company.

Next, personnel and finance were transferred to the company, and the cooperative became a pure production unit, no longer possessing financial or personnel rights. In essence, it was just a few production departments of the company.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, everyone welcomed the autumn harvest.

这一季，合作社种植了4万亩的【南光四号】稻种，以及4万亩的【农优82】稻种。另外还有8万亩的【南光四号】水稻以及6万亩的【农优82】水稻。

Also, this year, most of the dry land belonging to my workplace was used to cultivate peanut seeds. Taking advantage of the high price of peanut seeds, we made a fortune.

After the rice seeds were harvested, the statistical data came out quickly.

The yields of both rice varieties were similar to those of previous years, with nothing particularly surprising. The rice yield was also roughly in line with expectations, with neither unexpected results nor any surprises.

“Secretary, these people who want the rice are practically wearing down the doorstep of our office. But this season’s rice seed production is limited, and we need to prioritize exports. I can’t conjure up rice seeds for them.”

Zhao Jinsheng is experiencing a bittersweet feeling lately. He's happy because he has no trouble selling his rice seeds, but he's also suffering because the yield of rice seeds is insufficient.

He also knew that rice seeds could be stored for a long time, and the apparent shortage was likely just a way to consume market demand for next year or even the year after.

"Let them go to the company, Lao Zhao. Although the company's accounting will start from January 1st next year, the power of operation and management has already been transferred. So let's handle it officially."

Fang Wei was not blinded by the current prosperity and consciously began to uphold the company's authority.

Customers had to deal with the agricultural company first, and unless they absolutely needed to see the actual product, all sales contracts had to be signed with the company in the provincial capital.

The three cooperatives will become the company's production bases in the future, just like the bamboo ware factory, producing according to plan, and there is no need to worry about anything else.

After the autumn harvest, the Yaoling Cooperative reorganized its board of directors, significantly reducing the number of directors. Now, there are only five directors left.

This includes Fang Wei, Zhao Jinsheng, and Zheng Bao. Fang Wei is the chairman of the board, and Zhao Jinsheng is the vice chairman.

According to the plan, the company's subordinate units will no longer plant rapeseed this year, so that the farmland can rest and recuperate. In the future, a system of planting rapeseed every other year for winter will be implemented.

A few days later, all units harvested the seeds of the third season's cash crops, and this year's production tasks were completely completed.

night.

Fang Wei asked Pan Lianhua, "I'm going to the provincial capital in the next couple of days and will probably stay for about half a month."

“If you register your company there, you’ll definitely be traveling back and forth frequently. I’ve already thought of that.”

Pan Lianhua had just visited the provincial capital last month, so naturally she couldn't go with Fang Wei this time.

"I wouldn't say I'm constantly traveling, but I might spend more time there compared to before."

He felt that the company couldn't stay in a small place forever, as it wouldn't be conducive to its future development.

If agricultural companies want to grow bigger and stronger in the future, attracting talent is essential, and only provincial capitals have the conditions to do so.

Two days later.

Except for Zhao Jinsheng, who stayed behind, all the other members of the decision-making committee came to the company headquarters.

There is no time limit for this meeting; the point is to reach a conclusion on all the topics before the meeting can be adjourned.

"Regarding next year's production plan, I suggest expanding the cultivation area of ​​[Nanguang No. 4] to 80,000 mu, while keeping the planting area of ​​[Nongyou 82] rice unchanged at 40,000 mu."

In addition, next spring's planting can begin with large-scale cultivation of the "Nanguang No. 5" rice variety. Besides the Yao villages, 20,000 mu (approximately 1,333 hectares) can be planted at Xinlin Farm.

Fang Wei began by outlining his plan: all 80,000 mu of paddy fields in the Yaoling Cooperative would be used to cultivate the "Nanguang No. 4" rice variety. This plan prioritized ensuring the supply of rice seeds to contracted farmers and, secondly, guaranteeing the supply of rice seeds for export.

Currently, sales of the [Nongyou 82] rice variety are recovering, but considering that the huge grain reserves from the previous period have not been fully consumed, it is not advisable to blindly expand production.

As for "Nanguang No. 5", it is still in the unfinished stage, and the cultivation scale of 20,000 mu is already the limit.

The Tian Bingyi Cooperative continues to cultivate high-value vegetable and fruit seeds, while the Yao village cultivates the "Nanguang No. 5" rice variety.

Each unit cultivates one season's worth of corn seeds, one season's worth of soybean seeds, one season's worth of yellow soybean seeds, and chili pepper seeds in its dryland fields.

The remaining paddy fields are used to grow the "Nanguang No. 4" rice variety to ensure the supply of raw materials for the rice mill.

“Secretary, I think the cultivation area for the Nanguang No. 4 and Nanguang No. 5 rice varieties is too small. Isn’t this plan too conservative? We have a lot of export orders, so we should appropriately increase production.”

Some people raised different opinions, feeling that Fang Wei's plan was somewhat conservative.

"Let's not be too aggressive for now. We should wait until the [Nanguang No. 5] rice variety is finalized before making any decisions."

Fang Wei didn't explain much. Export business isn't easy, and he didn't have many opportunities to deal with overseas clients. He should observe more.

Furthermore, the main rice variety to be promoted in the future will definitely be [Nanguang No. 5]. The [Nanguang No. 4] rice variety will only be used to meet export needs and as raw material for Yaoling rice. The cultivation area of ​​80,000 mu is more than enough. "Okay, I understand."

The man accepted Fang Wei's explanation and said no more.

"Is everything alright? Let's tentatively set the production plan for next year. Now let's talk about the complete integration of all units next year. We need to start doing a thorough inventory and verification of assets now, and the profit distribution of each unit must be approved by the company's decision-making committee."

Next, there's another very troublesome matter: merging all the assets of the Yao Village and Tian Bingyi Cooperative into the company.

Asset verification is only one aspect; another very important matter is this year's dividend distribution. After everyone receives their dividends, they will be living together, so this dividend distribution cannot be done haphazardly. All units must follow the company's guidance and arrangements.

"I have no opinion."

"That's how it should be, so that everyone doesn't have to argue over the final profit sharing. It's unnecessary."

"agree."

The proposal was passed without much objection.

Since they've already decided to live together, it's perfectly reasonable for the company to intervene in the profit-sharing arrangements of each unit in advance to avoid any unforeseen complications.

One proposal after another was put forward, and everyone discussed them seriously. Most of the proposals were passed, while some failed to pass.

The meetings lasted a week, mainly because the company had just started operating and there were still many things that hadn't been sorted out, and there were just too many miscellaneous matters.

After the meeting, those who were supposed to stay in the provincial capital remained there, while the others returned to Xinlin County.

The company has also started to get busy, especially the sales department, which has deployed a large number of people to further expand sales channels and prepare for next year's agricultural production.

Fang Wei did not leave the provincial capital immediately. Instead, she took advantage of the weekend to call her daughter out and have her spend the day at Fang Ping's house.

Then he set off back to the company.

“Secretary, have you heard the news in the provincial capital? The parent company of New Cage has developed a new genetically modified corn, which is said to yield 1800 jin per mu. I’m afraid their counterattack will come soon.”

On Fang Wei's first day at work, Zhao Jinsheng came to his office and brought him some important news.

New Cage, which was being humiliated by the cooperative, saw its parent company launch the world's first genetically modified corn.

This was naturally not good news for Fang Wei, but he felt that genetically modified corn wouldn't be on the market so quickly. There was still a long way to go before successful research and development and mass production; it wasn't as simple as he had imagined.

"Any recent developments by the new Cage that are worth paying attention to?"

Fang Wei then changed the subject, asking about the new Cage's latest developments.

"Didn't New Cage have a lot of corn seeds stockpiled before? I heard they plan to sell them off cheaply, at a very low price after the discount, which will definitely affect our corn seed sales next year."

Zhao Jinsheng then told Fang Wei about the new developments of the new Cage, but Fang Wei already knew about these developments.

He felt that New Cage was clearing out its inventory, and the so-called genetically modified corn seeds might be hitting the market sooner than he had predicted. But it wouldn't be next year; it might be the year after.

"This is something we can't control. Let's wait until they go public before making any decisions."

Fang Wei didn't dwell on this issue; it was something he had to face, it was just a matter of time.

Afterwards, Zhao Jinsheng reported on the work of the cooperative to him and then turned and left.

"A seed war is bound to happen sooner or later, and there will be more and more genetically modified crops. It's really troublesome."

Fang Wei knows the advantages and disadvantages of genetically modified crops, but there is currently no deep understanding of genetically modified crops in China, so the next ten years will be a time when genetically modified crops will be widely adopted.

Genetically modified crop seeds will occupy most of the market within just a few years, making it difficult for traditional breeding companies to survive.

He estimated that within ten years, the only company that could compete with international giants in the domestic market would probably be Yaoling Agricultural Group.

morning.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua had just finished exercising when Sun Daoren strolled into the courtyard.

"Third brother, Songlin asked me to check on him again a couple of days ago, and his health has improved a lot. You have to urge him not to drink like before, otherwise no matter how much medicine he takes, it won't help."

"I understand, I'll tell him when I see him."

Fang Wei responded with a sentence, then went to wash up and have breakfast.

After eating, he went to his office, and Pan Lianhua went to work with him, while the old Taoist went to the clinic.

Now that it's the off-season for farming, the entire cooperative has quieted down after all the units have finished harvesting the third batch of peanut seeds.

Agricultural production in the Yao village has ended this year, but the tourism industry is booming, and the village is lively every day.

The Tian Bingyi Cooperative is not idle either. Following Fang Wei's advice, Tian Bingyi went to other townships to contract 50 fish ponds, and he is busy even in winter.

Fang Wei was sitting in his office looking at documents for a while when he suddenly received a call from Tian Bingyi.

"Third Brother, come and take a look. In the process of cultivating the second generation of high-yield corn seeds, we have discovered a large number of mutant strains. Have we succeeded?"

"Your luck is simply incredible. You wait here, I'll be off right away."

Fang Wei didn't know what to say, so he walked out of the office and drove directly to the village.

When he arrived at the experimental greenhouse, he saw a large crowd gathered outside, presumably there to watch the spectacle.

"Third brother, look at the corn over there. Isn't it a little different from the corn in other places?"

Wang Songlin feels much stronger lately, and now he walks with a brisk pace.

He pointed out the location of the mutated plant with great interest, and Fang Wei quickly went forward to check. Sure enough, it was a variant of [Yu Xiang 083].

Statistics show that the mutated corn yielded 2000 jin per mu, and the quality remained consistent, which was perfect.

"A yield of 2000 per mu! If the team had had this variety of corn seeds back then, it would have been entirely possible to plant it for one season, and no one would have gone hungry."

Both of them, without prior arrangement, recalled the three years of disaster, a time of food shortages, when being able to fill their stomachs with sweet potatoes was a blessing. (End of Chapter)
