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

"Yuan En, is there any pressure in the company expanding into passenger transport?"

Fang Wei had tea brought over, then sat down and chatted with the other person.

"What pressure is there with this little transportation volume? No! Third Brother, I didn't come here for this matter. I want to expand the transportation business further. Maybe there will be a great opportunity."

Deng Yuanen is Fang Wei's childhood friend, and he has always had a free-spirited and unconventional personality.

The transportation company's deputy manager is an external hire. The other party has a good eye and has been suggesting that he get involved in logistics recently.

At present, logistics companies are basically point-to-point and have not yet formed a network operation, but this is already the prototype of logistics business, and he was very interested after hearing about it.

Taking advantage of the company's new passenger transport business, I came specifically to talk to Fang Wei about this.

“Your idea is excellent, and I fully support it. Here’s what we’ll do: you write a report and submit it to President Hu, and I’ll also speak to her about it.”

Fang Wei was quite surprised; it seemed the deputy general manager of the transportation company was indeed a talented individual.

Now is a good time to get involved in logistics. Domestic freight volume has surged in recent years, and even transportation companies can make a lot of money. Logistics takes this a step further; in addition to having your own fleet, you can attract other vehicles to join, allowing your business to grow rapidly.

As long as no mistakes are made, the company can develop steadily for the next few decades.

Deng Yuanen got what he wanted and left happily.

Fang Wei stopped paying attention to these matters; once things were resolved, someone would naturally report the situation to him.

The harvest from each production unit began to be stored in the warehouse, and the final statistical data was compiled and placed on his desk in the form of a report.

Fang Wei was satisfied with this season's harvest, but he was worried about the upcoming sales because of Liu Chi's threats. It would be a real problem if seed companies refused to purchase Yaoling Agriculture's products.

A few days passed quickly.

Lin Bingkun announced the official launch of various seeds, with a focus on rice varieties.

Subsequently, a group of customers arrived in Yaoling Township. They were all regular customers and familiar with the process of purchasing rice seeds. After signing the purchase contract, they paid directly, and warehouses in various locations began shipping the goods.

However, none of the major seed companies came to purchase the seeds.

Lin Bingkun got a little anxious and took the initiative to call the largest seed company to inform them that they could make purchases.

The other party mumbled and murmured for a long time, neither saying whether they would come nor not, and then fell silent after hanging up the phone.

"Chairman Fang, our sales are probably really in trouble. Although the company has sales staff, we don't have such a comprehensive sales network as others. Relying solely on existing customers is not enough."

Lin Bingkun got a little anxious. On one hand, he reported the matter to Cai Tong, and on the other hand, he personally came to find Fang Wei.

It's obvious that someone is blocking Yaoling Agriculture's products, and frankly, this matter is definitely related to Liuchi.

"Don't worry, let me think of a way."

Fang Wei had long anticipated this day. After Lin Bingkun left, he immediately called Wang Lin and Pang Wanxin.

Wang Lin and Pang Wanxin were able to influence things at the provincial level, but that wasn't enough. He then called Sun Shili and asked him to go to the seed company's headquarters to demand an explanation.

The largest seed company has operations throughout the country, while its headquarters are located in Beijing.

Sun Shili is also in Beijing recently. He is unwilling to stay at the Central Plains base indefinitely, as the Institute of Crop Science still has a lot of things to do.

With this two-pronged approach, the story of several major seed companies blocking Yaoling Agriculture came to light.

This immediately drew condemnation from tens of thousands of customers who were used to planting "Nanguang No. 5" or "Nongyou Boutique 336". Now that the seed company has blocked them, these customers are naturally unwilling.

Because other rice varieties are far inferior to Yaoling Agriculture's products, it's like forcing someone who's used to fine dining to eat fast food—isn't that just ridiculous?
Meanwhile, this matter has also attracted the attention of the provincial authorities, and an investigation has already begun.

It’s noon this day.

Fang Wei was having dinner with Pan Lianhua and his older sister in the county town when his pager suddenly went off.

The restaurant received a phone call, and he immediately called them back.

“Secretary Fang, this is Pang Wanxin. The seed company’s unwarranted blacklisting of you has alarmed the provincial authorities. The province has secretly dispatched an investigation team, saying that it will not allow any artificial interference in the seed market.”

Pang Wanxin revealed some information to Fang Wei over the phone. Judging from the implication, Fang Wei felt that the "blacklist" from last night was unlikely to continue.

However, it wasn't appropriate to say too much over the phone, so he simply said thank you.

"Old Pang, thanks. I'll treat you to drinks sometime."

"Don't mention it, we're all friends. By the way, my nephew said he's coming to see you, you two can talk it over."

Pang Wanxin said something cryptic and then hung up.

This incident is unusual, given Liu Chi's powerful connections; Yaoling Agriculture is bound to suffer setbacks. However, it is precisely Liu Chi's reckless and capricious behavior that has caused widespread discontent, as seen in the previous annual audit.

Many people are unwilling to offend Liuchi, but also do not want to offend Yaoling Agriculture, so they outwardly comply but inwardly defy him, which actually does not cause any harm to Yaoling Agriculture.

In addition, there were people like Wang Lin and Pang Wanxin, who couldn't openly offend Liu Chi, but they kept making things difficult for him behind his back; otherwise, the province wouldn't have sent an investigation team so quickly. Fang Wei felt that they were all quite loyal, so if Liu Chi needed any help, he would be happy to lend a hand.

After lunch, the couple returned to their hometown. Pan Lianhua went to work, while Fang Wei went directly to his office.

Unexpectedly, Lao Pang's nephew had already arrived.

"Secretary Fang, my uncle told you, right? I started a seed company, and it's doing quite well, but our financial strength is still a bit lacking. I'd like to distribute your company's seeds. Could I put down some payment for the goods?"

Fang Wei thought that Lao Pang's nephew was really good at doing business. Over the years, he had made a fortune by selling vegetable seeds produced by his company. His seed company had already extended its business to every corner of the province.

However, the company is relatively new and lacks sufficient resources. It also faces a funding gap in its desire to cooperate with Yaoling Agriculture.

So Lao Pang's nephew came up with the idea of ​​depositing the money back for a month. With Pang Wanxin as guarantor, the possibility of the other party taking the money and running away was virtually nonexistent.

“I don’t know how much your monthly turnover is, but I can agree to hold 200 million yuan in payments for goods. Anything exceeding that limit must be cash on delivery.”

Fang Wei had to give Lao Pang face, but to avoid risks, he also set conditions for the other party.

"No problem, thank you for your support, Secretary Fang!"

Old Pang's son was overjoyed. If it weren't for the major seed companies blocking Yaoling Agriculture, how would he have had the opportunity to get involved?

Now, taking advantage of the market gap, he only needs to distribute his products to quickly erode the market share of the major seed companies. If he does it well, he can use this opportunity to grow and expand.

"We're all family, no need to be polite."

Fang Wei thought that Lao Pang's nephew was really good. He had a sharp eye and dared to think and act. Wasn't he just seizing the opportunity?
in the afternoon.

Fang Wei had arranged everything for the other party, and the goods could be shipped starting tomorrow.

Old Pang's nephew insisted on inviting Fang Wei's family to dinner, and Fang Wei couldn't refuse, so they went to the county town for dinner that evening.

The next day, a steady stream of goods were shipped out, and within a few days, rice seeds from Yaoling Agriculture could be purchased throughout the province.

This speed exceeded everyone's expectations, and Xiao Pang became famous overnight, becoming a rising star in the industry.

Yaoling Agriculture also provided as much support as possible. Even when Xiao Pang's funds ran out, the company would send people to escort the goods over and settle payments as they were sold. This meant that a significant portion of the goods did not tie up Xiao Pang's funds.

This kind of support is the most essential kind of support.

One month later.

Several major seed companies were criticized by the province and higher authorities, and the parties involved were given disciplinary punishments. Liu Chi was summoned back home and given a severe scolding.

"Are you stupid? Daring to covet Yaoling Agriculture. Do you know what the achievements of Yaoling Agriculture mean for food security? You want to reap the rewards, but don't you even ask yourself if you have the ability to eat them all?"

Liu Chi was confined to his home by his family, and Xiangnan Seed Industry failed before it even began, ending inconclusively.

This incident alarmed the higher-ups, and those behind Liu Chi were all implicated.

In their quest to curry favor with Liuchi, several major seed companies inadvertently lost half of the Hunan province market. Meanwhile, Xiao Pang transformed itself in just a few months, becoming a well-known seed company in the province.

His backing is Yaoling Agriculture.

Now, many people are only belatedly realizing the unique nature of Yaoling Agriculture. It's unlikely that anyone will be foolish enough to try and take over this company in the future; they have core technologies, flagship products, and are truly unafraid of any so-called "background."

The most crucial point is that it's a collective enterprise with tens of thousands of employees.

The turmoil caused by Liu Chi has come to an end, and the autumn harvest has been successfully completed. The remaining task is for some units to plant rapeseed for winter. Each unit can simply carry out this task without any supervision. Even Lin Bingkun and others have returned to the provincial capital.

"Third Brother, the company wants me to go to Guangzhou to attend a trade fair. Why don't you come along?"

After resting for a few days, Pan Lianhua said she was going to Guangzhou to attend the Autumn Trade Fair.

Fang Weiyi figured he didn't have anything else to do, so he took his older sister and the whole family went to Guangzhou. He had originally planned to stay at the group company for a while, otherwise it would be too unprofessional for him to be the chairman and general manager.

Two days later.

Fang Wei and his group arrived in Guangzhou.

For the following week, he was stationed at the group company, during which time he also held a board meeting to discuss several important matters.

One of these is the proposed dividend plan for this year. The plan has been approved by the board of directors and will be reviewed at the shareholders' meeting at the end of the year.

Generally speaking, a proposal passed by the board of directors is a resolution, but the necessary procedures must be followed.

This year's profit-sharing standard was proposed by Fang Wei, and it will be distributed at a standard of 4500 yuan per person, which is an increase compared to the past.

"The profit distribution plan needs to be kept confidential until it is submitted to the shareholders' meeting for review, and then the news will be released."

Fang Wei then adjourned the meeting. (End of Chapter)
