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

early summer.

Under Fang Wei's guidance, the breeding team finally obtained the first batch of high-yield peanut seeds.

The new peanut variety yielded 780 jin per mu (approximately 198 catties per hectare). It is a high-oleic acid variety and is an excellent raw material for pressing peanut oil.

This peanut variety has been named "Nanhua 039". It will undergo large-scale final planting verification next. If all goes well, it should pass the review and be finalized within this year.

Lin Bingkun arrived at the company and, after reviewing the relevant data, danced with joy.

Peanuts have a relatively short growing cycle, so Yaoling Agriculture can quickly arrange large-scale planting. The relevant verification work will be completed by mid-August, and the final design will be finalized by the end of the year.

Next year, the Suiyang peanut planting base will be able to fully plant [Nanhua 039], and the quality of Yaoling peanut oil will definitely reach a new level.

"Secretary, the successful development of [Nanhua 039] is a real lifesaver. Next year, our planting base will be able to fully plant the new variety, and both yield and quality will see a significant leap."

Lin Bingkun calmed down and began to plan the production schedule for the coming year.

Fang Wei smiled and nodded, then invited the other person to go to the county for dinner together.

He also invited the head of the research institute, Wang Songlin, and Fang Huai over for a small celebration.

Wang Songlin is the head of the Yao village breeding group, and Fang Huai is the head of a large number of breeding groups. The two work closely with the research institute, and their contributions are indispensable to the success of every breeding project.

"Songlin, Fanghuai, I'll make the arrangements for a celebration banquet tomorrow night. Let's invite all the members of the research institute and the breeding team to have a good time."

Lin Bingkun was in a very good mood, so he decided to spend some money to throw a celebration banquet.

Fang Wei smiled without saying a word. Such a small matter could be decided by each company, and he certainly wouldn't interfere.

He won't be attending the celebration banquet, so everyone can relax. His presence would actually make everyone feel more at ease.

night.

Upon receiving the news, Pan Lianhua specially prepared several delicious dishes and had a few drinks with her husband.

In earlier years, some people encouraged her to persuade Fang Wei to go out and work on her own. After all, no one hates money. With Fang Wei's breeding technology, becoming a billionaire would be a simple matter.

But Pan Lianhua knows Fang Wei best. Since he chose the path of collective economy from the very beginning, he will not give up halfway.

Of course, according to the distribution system, the company also gives Fang Wei a commission from the operating profit every year, which is about 300 million to 500 million yuan.

Fang Wei led the team in almost all the breeding projects. The company's rights and interests were clearly defined from the beginning, but in reality, the profits from this part were not much.

Pan Lianhua thought this was fine; the family had no worries about food or drink, so she never encouraged Fang Wei to go it alone.

"Third Brother, we can earn more in a year than many people earn in a lifetime. What more could I ask for?"

Pan Lianhua drank a few cups of wine, and two red clouds appeared on her face.

Actually, she had no concept of billionaires or anything like that, so she wasn't envious.

"Haha, are you really that easily satisfied? Let me tell you something. Do you know how much our electrical appliance group's stock is worth? I checked the other day, and it's worth 8000 million yuan."

Fang Wei decided to tease his wife. She didn't care much about the stock price; she always thought those stocks were worth about 30 to 50 million.

"How much? 8000 million? Then you'd better sell it quickly."

Pan Lianhua was no longer calm. In fact, she had urged Fang Wei to sell the stocks as early as when their market value exceeded 3000 million yuan.

But Fang Wei didn't listen to her, and the matter was dropped.

Now that she heard that these shares were worth almost 100 million, she felt her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

"Selling it is fine, but what's the use of us holding onto so much cash?"

Fang Wei was indifferent. Although he had spent a lot of money on his daughter and bought a villa in Guangzhou, his wife actually had tens of millions of yuan in cash.

The couple only have these expenses for the whole year, so they have money but nowhere to spend it.

"Third Brother, if you can't bear to part with it, just sell half of it first. You won't lose out either way."

Pan Lianhua thought for a moment and gave the man an idea.

Fang Wei nodded. He wasn't fixated on these matters and would listen to the other party.

the next day.

He made a phone call to ask, and was stunned.

"It went up again? The market value has exceeded 100 million? Okay, I'll sell half of the shares."

During this period, the stock price of the electrical appliance group has soared and has seen a significant increase.

Fang Wei recalled how many people had advised him to go solo, all saying he was sure to become a billionaire. As it turned out, he had bought a little extra stock in the electronics group, and unwittingly achieved that goal.

Life's encounters are truly difficult to explain.

A few days later, he received a reply: he had successfully sold half of his stocks, realizing more than 5100 million yuan in cash.

"Third Brother, we bought a villa for Binbin, shouldn't we buy a big house for Xiaojie in Shenzhen?"

Pan Lianhua's biggest worry is her daughter. With her daughter's wedding approaching, she's thinking of buying Xiaojie another house.

Fang Wei nodded. He didn't need to handle this personally; he could just call the real estate company later.

The real estate company is currently developing a real estate project in the special economic zone in conjunction with the port group, so this small matter will definitely not be a problem.

“Okay, I’ll take care of it later. But last time Xiao Cheng said his parents had already prepared a wedding house for him, how about we buy another one?” “Why not? We can never have too many houses. This is our dowry for our daughter.”

The couple reached an agreement and quickly found a suitable house in Shenzhen.

Without further ado, the two set off for Shenzhen.

"Chairman, this villa area is by the lake, with beautiful scenery and fresh air. It's a good choice."

The real estate company's general manager personally accompanied the two to view the property, and Pan Lianhua immediately fell in love with the villa.

Although the villa was expensive, costing over 300 million yuan in total, Fang Wei paid the money without hesitation. Then he had his daughter handle the paperwork, and the property deed was in his daughter's name.

"Dad, Mom"

Xiaojie wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything when the words reached her lips.

Pan Lianhua smiled slightly, put her arm around the other person, and walked forward.

After finishing this matter, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua did not stay in Shenzhen for long and returned to the village.

For the next period of time, production units will not be too busy. There is still quite a while before the summer harvest, and with some regular field management, not too many manpower will be needed.

The two newly established bases are working diligently on infrastructure construction, and can be completed before the summer harvest.

"Chairman, I'm back."

morning.

Fang Wei was sitting in his office reading documents when Yang Feng knocked on the door and came in.

Previously, he had gone to inspect the Jianghuai Base, Suiyang Base, and other units on behalf of Fang Wei. Due to his lack of experience, he wasted a lot of time.

"It's good that you're back. Have you finished writing the report?"

Fang Wei nodded, then asked the other party to hand him the report on this inspection.

Yang Feng dared not delay, and immediately took out a report from his briefcase and handed it to the other party respectfully.

"Please have a seat! Xiao Wu, brew a pot of tea and bring it over."

Fang Wei had tea brought over and then focused on reading the report.

Yang Feng wasn't a newcomer to the workplace, and this report was quite well-written, clearly outlining the situation of each unit. With this report, Fang Wei could clearly understand the operation of his subordinate units, and he could also detect any problems.

Fang Wei was fairly satisfied with Yang Feng's work performance, and then had someone arrange accommodation for him.

As his assistant, you would generally be required to accompany him or go out on his behalf to handle certain matters.

"Assistant Yang, you can handle some minor issues for me later, but you must report back to me afterwards, understand?"

Afterwards, Fang Wei gave Yang Feng some instructions to avoid leaving him feeling lost.

The purpose of hiring an assistant is definitely to share some of the administrative work, or even to represent oneself in certain situations.

Therefore, Yang Feng's role is definitely not that of a secretary.

As for a full-time secretary, the group headquarters is still looking for a candidate, and the secretarial work is temporarily handled by designated staff.

For example, when working in the office, Xiao Wu would be responsible for organizing, receiving, sending, and classifying documents for safekeeping.

"Understood, Chairman."

Yang Feng quickly understood his role, and Fang Wei cleared out an office for him next to hers so he could work there.

In the afternoon, Fang Wei asked Yang Feng to go to a meeting in the county.

This symposium is held every year. Fang Wei didn't want to run away, so he asked Yang Feng to represent him at the meeting.

In the past, he would have had to go even if he didn't want to, because no one could replace him.

For the next period of time, Fang Wei stayed in the village and didn't go anywhere else. With the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, he didn't plan to go to Guangzhou; he intended to wait until after the summer harvest.

A few days passed quickly.

Yang Feng's work is gradually improving, and he has begun to take the initiative to help Fang Wei with some of the work.

That morning, he walked into Fang Wei's office with a document in his hand and a serious expression.

"Chairman, the edible oil market has been acting strangely lately, with prices fluctuating wildly. Here is some information I've compiled; please take a look."

"Oh? What caused the fluctuation?"

Fang Wei then asked a question, and then took the documents and started reading them.

"The market fluctuations were caused by a sudden and significant price reduction by a foreign-controlled edible oil company."

Yang Feng had done a detailed analysis of the data, but when he heard Fang Wei's question, he still gave a brief answer.

Fang Wei nodded, remained silent, and quietly finished reading the document.

He believes Yang Feng's judgment is correct; this sharp fluctuation in the edible oil market was instigated by foreign (edible oil) companies. Their purpose is not hard to discern: to seize market share.

Large enterprises are in a better position, but small and medium-sized edible oil companies will likely struggle to survive. (End of Chapter)
