Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 502 Mutual Market
Give Beijing some concessions, and out of brotherhood, lend them a hand so they can get out of their predicament as soon as possible.
This is, of course, and necessarily.
"No problem! It's just giving up a little benefit, what's the big deal?!"

As long as we can secure these massive orders in one fell swoop!
Compared to major policies that directly boost the entire construction industry, preserve or even create countless jobs, and revitalize the economy, what are a few profits?
Not even a hair!

It's not even comparable to a single hair on a nine-oxen body!

Not to mention that it's just a slight concession of profits, not that we're not making any money!
Therefore, he accepted Ximen Lang's suggestion without hesitation.

Without even needing to report or consult with superiors, Xia Yiyi, who is focused on the future and would never be short-sighted, directly patted her chest and made her commitment.

They even turned around and questioned Ximen Lang.

"Do you even need to tell me? Let alone that we're compatriots with blood ties, even if we weren't, given our competitive environment, the moment we hear there are orders and work to do, we're all eager to get things done."

"You don't even need to say a word. These upstream and downstream companies, who are just waiting for someone to place an order so they can start production, are in a state of intense competition, and they have no choice but to compete. They themselves have taken the initiative to drive down the price!"

Xia Yiyi's words perfectly captured the current unpleasant but unavoidable situation.

There's nothing we can do about it; after all, there are so many mouths to feed!

With orders and work to do, such a large operation and so many mouths to feed can continue to operate.

If not
Even if they wanted to continue, it would be difficult!
Furthermore, the number of upstream and downstream enterprises relying on the construction industry in later generations is truly extraordinary. To put it simply as a case of too many monks and too little porridge would be an understatement!
Given these various factors, the price certainly can't be high!

"So, just one thing: don't make me lose money! I definitely can't do a losing business! Let me make a little profit, just enough to make a living!"

Seeing that Xia Yiyi had lowered her stance so much and offered such good terms!

Ximen Lang, feeling both surprised and vaguely aware that it made perfect sense, immediately and readily expressed his stance on behalf of the people of Beijing.

"Nonsense! I already said it's a win-win situation, of course you have to make money! If you really don't make money, then I really need to think carefully about whether you're cutting corners! Ling'er and the others wouldn't dare use it!"

The matter was settled in just a few words, and they even received a large sum of money in donations from Xia Yiyi.

Moreover, these are the kinds of donations that you absolutely have to accept, used to support Project Hope in Beijing.

After the matter was dropped, Xia Yiyi's expectant gaze immediately fell on Ximen Lang.

Of course, it couldn't be for anything improper.

But
The first piece of good news has already given future generations such a big surprise; imagine what would happen if we added the two pieces of good news that were clearly even more exciting.
This is practically ready to take off!

Thinking this way, Xia Yiyi, who was even more looking forward to the two more exciting pieces of good news that followed, couldn't wait any longer.

Of course, Ximen Lang couldn't keep Xia Yiyi in suspense at this critical juncture.

Although Xia Yiyi's unintentional glimpse of her skin was indeed a bit dazzling.

But business is more important.

He quietly checked Xia Yiyi's condition again and saw that she was really not going to make it.

My current energy level is only kept up by these successive good news.

Otherwise, it would have been bedridden long ago. Composing himself, he silently repeated a few more words to himself.
"The important business comes first! The important business comes first! Once we've finished discussing the important business, we can talk about other things!"

I banished all distracting thoughts from my mind.

Ximen Lang continued talking to Xia Yiyi about the second piece of good news that couldn't be better.

"That's right. We've always relied on imports for our soybeans, haven't we? Although in recent years, with the significant increase in Brazilian soybean production, we've reduced our dependence on the US. We've even used it as a weapon to counter their attacks a few times."

"But we haven't completely shaken off our dependence, so soybean security is out of the question. Luckily, Ling'er has so much land, all planted with soybeans! A full 200 million mu!"

"Moreover, they have a strong desire to invest heavily in building a super-large farm with highly automated and mechanized planting! So I thought, could you two complement each other?"

“Look, they have land and the will, but they lack the technology and the market! We, on the other hand, have both the technology and the market, but we don’t have enough land and we’re unwilling to sacrifice the security of other grains to protect a mere soybean! Your situations complement each other perfectly!”

"Since we complement each other, let's integrate our resources! You provide her with technical support, and she guarantees the safety of your soybeans! Then you two become each other's markets. You sell her seeds and various agricultural equipment to make big money, while she earns her due profit by selling your soybeans!"

"It's a win-win situation! Don't you think it's worthwhile? I'm telling you, it's definitely worthwhile! She'll make money, you'll make money, and I'll make a little too! In the end, both of us on a larger scale will get what we want. What do you think?"

how is it?

What else can we do?
Of course, I immediately nodded in agreement!
Even if she hesitated for a second, it would be disrespectful to these conditions!
And it is an absolutely unforgivable disrespect!
Although, for various reasons, the future is currently engaged in a heated conflict with Brazil, it wouldn't be wise to rashly reduce their share (the Brazilian leader, in an effort to curry favor with us, even said he enjoyed watching our national football team, which is absolutely outrageous and absurd!).

It's not good to reduce their share, but we can appropriately reduce the American share!

Furthermore, the demand for soybeans in later generations has been steadily increasing. Even a small amount is enough to make people in Beijing and the rest of the world eat until their mouths are greasy.

Agriculture in the Sijiu City world was not something that could be achieved overnight.

Therefore, they hit it off immediately.

Xia Yiyi, who couldn't agree more than she could with Ximen Lang's suggestion, immediately grasped Ximen Lang's hand.

Without any hesitation, he began to praise her.

"As expected of you, you're so clever! You're incredibly smart! You even came up with such a perfect solution. For a moment, I was speechless."

Ximen Lang was caught in a dilemma: he was neither happy nor unhappy.

All I could do was feel awkward and quickly correct it.

"Why don't you just say 'smart'? Why add the superfluous 'big'? It's so awkward!"

Regardless of whether it felt awkward or not, the matter was definitely settled.

Now that everything's settled, let's get straight to the main event!
Ximen Lang thought it was very important, but in fact, the matter was far more important than he thought.

"The third piece of good news is that the canal will be built!"
