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

"This result is really good! Assistant Ye, please ask President Qi to keep an eye on the production of [Yandou 001] soybeans in the surrounding counties and cities, so I'll be aware of the situation."

Fang Wei was also very happy, as this yield was close to the planting level of ordinary farmland.

Of course, the salt-tolerant crops grown by the company have a property bonus effect, and other regions certainly cannot achieve this yield per acre.

He asked Ye Chen to talk to Qi Cheng and find out the actual yield of salt-tolerant soybeans in different regions, as that would be the real data.

"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away."

After Ye Chen responded, he turned around and went to find Qi Cheng.

Some time later, Wang Chunfeng returned to Xiachu County. This time, he came to report good news: the soybeans on his 10 mu of contracted land had yielded a bumper harvest, with a yield of 635 jin per mu.

This success is due to the hard work of Juli Agricultural technicians, as well as his own hard work.

“Mr. Fang, I must treat you to a meal. I asked the locals, and they had never heard of growing soybeans in saline-alkali land and achieving such good results.”

As soon as Wang Chunfeng saw Fang Wei, he offered to treat everyone to dinner that evening.

Fang Wei certainly couldn't agree to that; how could she let others pay every time? So she smiled and said that she would pay herself this time.

As a result, Wang Chunfeng was not happy and pestered him for a long time, so Fang Wei had no choice but to give in.

During the meal, Wang Chunfeng asked Fang Wei, "President Fang, do you really think we can expand the soybean planting area next year?"

This statement is actually a bit abrupt, because no one can guarantee anything about this.

Fang Wei thought for a moment, then remained silent. He simply picked up his glass, clinked it against Wang Chunfeng's, and drank the wine in his glass.

"I already mentioned this last time. It's up to you what you think."

He didn't answer the other party's question directly. Since there was a reserve guarantee, how bad could things get? In the end, they could still make a little money.

Qi Cheng noticed their conversation and asked with a smile, "Mr. Wang, have you sold your soybeans yet?"

"Not yet. I'm thinking of waiting and seeing. Maybe I can get a good price."

Wang Chunfeng stopped questioning Fang Wei and turned to drink a few cups with Yang Feng, Wang Muqi, Qi Cheng, and others.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Fang Wei and Yang Feng were the first to leave the restaurant.

"Boss, the land improvement work will be completely completed by next year. What are your plans?"

In the car, Yang Feng asked a question.

"Let's do it in half. Half of the planting area will be used to grow [Salted Bean 001], and the other half will be used to grow seawater rice."

Since crop rotation is the goal, dividing the land equally is the best approach, as it facilitates management.

The company has no trouble selling its soybeans and seawater rice, but the potential for seawater rice is lower, while the potential for soybeans is much higher.

This arrangement is fine as long as the planting area is not expanded.

"That's good. I'll bring it up when we have a meeting to discuss next year's production plan."

Yang Feng responded, and the car arrived at Fang Wei's house.

The next period will be the peak season for soybean harvesting, and the storage companies will increase their efforts to purchase soybeans at prices slightly higher than the market price.

Many farmers sold their soybeans to storage companies. In any case, the prices they offered were fair, and after deducting costs, they could still make a profit.

Juli Agriculture has remained inactive, as slightly higher or lower prices have little impact on the company's profits, so it is eager to sell.

This year's forage sales are very good, and now is the time when the grass is lush and green. The alfalfa harvested by the company, after being dried, is excellent winter feed.

We need to prepare in advance now, as vehicles come to the company every day to pick up hay in an endless stream, and the supply of hay cannot meet the demand.

While busy with work, Fang Wei kept a close eye on the price trend of soybeans.

This morning.

Ye Chen walked in with a smile, his gaze towards Fang Wei filled with admiration.

"Boss, it has to be you again! Your judgment is simply amazing. The price of soybeans has suddenly skyrocketed in the last two days, rising by at least 50% compared to the previous period."

In addition, soybean prices on the international market have begun to rise, with soybean contracts for January next year even increasing by 70%.

It seems that international giants are really getting restless. They don't want the stockpiling companies to buy too many soybeans in low-price areas, so after some deliberation, they have started to drive up prices.

Strictly speaking, the rise in soybean prices is somewhat justified.

Soybean consumption has reached a new historical high this year. With such high consumption and insufficient supply, raising prices is the only solution.

However, the current surge in prices is clearly suspicious, with obvious signs of manipulation.

"He really stood up! Assistant Ye, go and call General Manager Yang over."

Fang Wei felt that his judgment was correct; the international giants did not want the stockpiling companies to buy too many soybeans in low-price areas.

In this protracted war, soybeans are the ammunition; whoever has sufficient ammunition will be invincible.

Later, Yang Feng arrived at Fang Wei's office. "Mr. Yang, let's prepare to ship the soybeans we have. Although the current inventory is not enough to drive down the price of soybeans, it will affect the upward momentum of soybean prices to some extent."

Juli Agriculture has approximately 15 tons of soybeans in stock, which is a considerable amount.

Fang Wei's idea is to release the soybeans to the market now and not keep thinking that there will be higher prices later.

“Okay, I’ll contact Manager Yu right away and start selling soybeans from today.”

Yang Feng was not greedy and agreed with the other party's point of view.

Selling when prices are rising is a wise move. Over the years, soybean prices have fluctuated, causing countless businesses to go bankrupt and many farmers to lose a fortune.

When Wang Chunfeng learned that Juli Agriculture had begun selling off its soybeans, he didn't wait any longer and immediately followed suit and started selling as well.

Despite the rising price of soybeans, both sides emptied their inventories without hesitation.

After a period of sustained price increases, soybean prices began to decline, eventually giving back half of the gains made in this round.

At this time, not only Juli Agriculture, but even Wang Chunfeng's soybeans were all sold out.

morning.

Fang Wei, Yang Feng, and others held a meeting to prepare for the harvesting of seawater rice.

After the meeting ended, he walked out of the conference room and saw Wang Chunfeng sitting in the reception room.

"Mr. Wang? When did you arrive? Are you looking for Mr. Qi?"

Fang Wei doesn't handle specific business matters, so things like technical services are handled by Qi Cheng.

He assumed the other person was looking for Qi Cheng, which is why he asked that question.

"Mr. Fang, I came here specifically to see you."

A smile bloomed on Wang Chunfeng's face, and he even bowed slightly in front of Fang Wei, appearing very respectful.

"Come on, let's talk in my office."

Fang Wei led the other person to his office and then had his staff bring him tea.

"Mr. Fang, thanks to you all, I made a lot of money on my first soybean planting. There's not much else to say, I'd like to invite you to the provincial capital for a couple of days so we can have a proper chat."

At this moment, Wang Chunfeng was truly riding high. Taking advantage of the soaring soybean prices, he sold all the soybeans he had.

Where else can you find such a high profit margin when growing crops? He was practically bubbling with happiness.

As the saying goes, "When you drink water, you should not forget the well-digger." Wang Chunfeng didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he planned to invite Fang Wei and the others to the provincial capital for a couple of days of fun.

What's the point of making money? Isn't it to spend it?

"Mr. Wang, you don't need to be so polite. The fact that you can make money is your own achievement. We only provided technical services, we didn't not get paid. We won't be going to the provincial capital for now, the company is about to purchase seawater rice, so we can't leave."

Fang Wei politely declined the invitation, which was also a subtle advice to the other party to keep a low profile.

Although he gave Wang Chunfeng some pointers, the decision-making power was still in Wang Chunfeng's hands, and he did not interfere with how Wang Chunfeng made his choice.

The other party's ability to make the right choice was either due to good luck or good judgment, and Fang Wei was really embarrassed to take all the credit for it.

“How can that be? If it weren’t for your reminder, I probably would have sold the soybeans long ago. Now, so many farmers are regretting that they sold their soybeans too early. If they could have waited, they would have made a fortune.”

Wang Chunfeng was still trying to persuade him. He knew very well that if it weren't for the information provided by Fang Wei, Yang Feng, and others, he wouldn't have waited this long and would probably have sold the soybeans he had to the storage company long ago.

Don't underestimate this time difference; the profit difference can be ten or even dozens of times.

"I really can't get away, let's talk about it later. Mr. Wang, don't rush back now that you're here. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight, let's all have a good drink together."

Fang Wei smiled and shook his head, declining Wang Chunfeng's invitation once again.

Left with no other choice, Wang Chunfeng turned back and bought a truckload of good cigarettes and liquor, which she then gave directly to Fang Wei, Yang Feng, and the others.

During dinner that evening, he ordered a batch of "Xiyou 023" seeds, planning to plant winter rapeseed this year.

That's no problem at all. The breeding base recently harvested [Xiyou 023] rapeseed seeds, and their current stock is plentiful enough to fully meet their needs.

The next day, after everyone sobered up, they realized that Wang Chunfeng had bought a lot of rapeseed seeds, enough to plant at least 20 mu of land.

Needless to say, the other party must have increased the area of ​​land they contracted during this period.

"Boss, don't be fooled by Mr. Wang's smiling face; he's ruthless when it comes to getting things done. He's suddenly increased the amount of contracted land he owns to 20 mu. Impressive!"

Ye Chen began to admire Wang Chunfeng; his impression of her had completely changed, and he now knew she was a ruthless person.

Fang Wei smiled but didn't say anything.

He had long seen that Wang Chunfeng was no pushover; otherwise, why would he have bothered to offer her advice? As the saying goes, a loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer; if the other party wasn't up to the task, no amount of advice would have mattered.

Wang Chunfeng's success has both an element of chance and an element of inevitability, but others don't see it that way.

Everyone knew this guy had made a fortune growing soybeans, and who wouldn't be envious? So, some people immediately started following suit, preparing to lease saline-alkali land and plant soybeans all over it the following year. (End of Chapter)
