Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 356 Exported to Europe and America at 500 times the market price?
Modern agricultural technology has undoubtedly conducted extremely detailed research on various crops, as well as poultry and livestock.

This is something that farmers in ancient times could not do.

So, is it useful to know about this?

Xu Yue felt that it was not impossible.

Although that was a scientific description, while the supernatural methods of farmers are more mystical, it is still very possible to gain some inspiration from them.

"I'll ask Academician Meng later, and then we can make targeted purchases."

I definitely need to buy some to take a look at later.

But there were too many books like that; it was impossible to buy them all. They didn't have the time or the energy.

So what should I buy?
Academician Meng will obviously give the best advice.

Zhang Ruoxi naturally had no objection to this.

It's worth a look; if you find something useful, that would be a pleasant surprise.

"Tomorrow is the first day of school, and as the principal, you'll be giving a speech, right?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "Have you prepared your speech yet?"

"What kind of speech do we need?" Xu Yue said. "Just give them a shock and motivate them to work harder in their cultivation."

Show off in front of others?

Zhang Ruoxi immediately thought of this word.

"Aren't you afraid of it getting out?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "That would have a bad impact and would conflict with the current social environment."

"How can it be spread?" Xu Yue said, "Just ban video recording. Who would believe it if it were just passed around by word of mouth? Besides, even if someone recorded it and uploaded it online, I'm afraid very few people would believe it."

Talk is cheap. We live in a technological age, and even seeing something so mysterious makes people doubt it, let alone seeing it on video.

With the advancements in special effects today, creating the same, or even more spectacular, effects is incredibly easy.

“The contracts students sign before enrollment include confidentiality agreements,” Xu Yue said. “Your worries are undoubtedly unnecessary. Some things are better seen with your own eyes than described in words.”

Zhang Ruoxi didn't say anything more about it, but picked up a book and started reading.

After she became pregnant, she spent very little time practicing breathing techniques and mostly reading books, as well as studying supernatural powers and formations.

"Have they divided students into classes and grades?"

Zhang Ruoxi suddenly asked, as she didn't really know much about what was going on at the academy.

She also works as a teacher at the college.

“It’s been divided,” Xu Yue said. “Not all students have Qi sensing.”

“There’s only Sister Ling Xue in the second realm, but there should be quite a few in the first realm, right?” Zhang Ruoxi said. “It would be inappropriate for those who haven’t even grasped the Qi sensation to be grouped with those in the first realm.”

“Almost all the agricultural researchers who came to Taoyuan Village have entered the country,” Xu Yue said. “Shen Yu and a few others have also entered the country, but not quite as many as those from the agricultural research institute. A few people from the farm have also entered the country.”

“The first realm is easy, the second realm is difficult,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “The third realm is even more difficult.”

A state of being is actually an accumulation of energy, which then naturally leads to its formation.

As long as one can sense the Qi, one can basically absorb Qi into the body and reach a certain level.

However, the two realms are different.

It is also necessary to open up the dantian and qi sea.

That's not just about accumulating energy; it also involves talent, perseverance, and so on.

“It’s getting harder and harder,” Xu Yue said. “That’s just how cultivation is.”

"Sister Wang Yun has also entered the country."

Zhang Ruoxi spoke.

Xu Yue was not too surprised by this.

After all, her resources are much better than others.

If it weren't for pregnancy, which affected her cultivation, she probably would have entered the realm earlier.

However, Wang Yun's talent is quite good.

She's just not as good as Zhang Ruoxi, much less as good as Han Lingxue.

In the afternoon, Tian Yizhi arrived.

"nailed it?"

Xu Yue smiled and invited Tian Yizhi to sit down, and made him a cup of tea.

Tian Yizhi left Taoyuan Village this time to go to the desert.

However, we didn't just visit the Badain Jaran Desert Farm; we also went to several other deserts in China.

"That depends on what you mean by 'getting things done'," Tian Yizhi said. "We've rented the land in the desert, but we're still far from getting around to the rest."

"Take your time," Xu Yue said with a smile. "This isn't something that can be resolved in a short time. Hopefully, there haven't been any problems with the land rental."

“With support from above, what could possibly go wrong?” Tian Yizhi said. “Although the land lease is extensive, it didn’t cost much. The key is probably the subsequent construction, which will undoubtedly require a significant investment.”

“The farm isn’t short of money,” Xu Yue said. “Anything that can be solved with money isn’t a problem. Didn’t Guo Tianyou and the others come back with you?”

“No, we went straight back to the desert farm,” Tian Yizhi shook his head and said. “They said they haven’t finished dealing with things there yet.”

When Tian Yizhi went to rent land in other deserts, the two feng shui masters, Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji, went with him.

In terms of site selection, they are far more professional than Tian Yizhi.

Of course, in addition to Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji, Shuai Ming also went with his team.

The desert land that Xu Yue and his group rented was quite large, but compared to the desert itself, it was insignificant.

Therefore, the choice of location still needs to be considered.

Renting land is not just for landscaping and preparing for future farm renovations; it also involves considering tourism and other aspects.

There are many things to consider.

However, Xu Yue didn't need to waste his brainpower on that.

"I went to the agricultural trade company on my way back," Tian Yizhi said. "Huang Liang is urging the farm to expand again."

"Really?" Xu Yue said with a smile, "The export deal with Europe and America has been finalized?"

"Are you aware of the importation of farm products in Europe and America?"

Tian Yizhi was somewhat surprised, after all, Xu Yue rarely cared about the farm, let alone the agricultural trading company.

"That group of people first found the farm, and we told them to go to the agricultural trading company," Xu Yue said. "They also told Huang Liang to ask for an exorbitant price. Huang Liang seemed to ask for a thousand times the original price; I don't know what the final price will be."

Ask for a high price and pay it back on the spot.

It's that simple.

If you go abroad, the profit will definitely double.

As for the little red dot, that increase to a thousandfold was purely due to Xu Yue's revenge.

I just didn't expect them to agree.

I wonder if they knew they were in the wrong.

They might not think they were in the wrong, but they knew that if they didn't agree when Xu Yue was furious, the business deal would fall through.

They had no choice but to agree.

“Five hundred times!” Tian Yizhi said. “When I went there, they seemed to have just reached an agreement. Huang Liang knew I was coming to see you and asked me to tell you.”

"Five hundred times?" Xu Yue nodded and said, "That's not bad either."

Agricultural trading companies make a profit when selling abroad, but farms earn even more.

Domestic prices are basically fixed.

Therefore, the farm is sold to agricultural trading companies at a fixed price.

But it's not the same abroad.

Otherwise, the farm is sold to an agricultural trading company at ten times the market price, and the agricultural trading company then sells it abroad at a thousand or five hundred times the market price.

Wouldn't the bulk of the profits be taken by the agricultural trading company?

If that's the case, why don't the farms bypass the agricultural trading companies?

Why push it to the agricultural trade company, like here?
“There are so many rich people abroad!” Tian Yizhi said. “Spending so much money is not as good as coming to China every now and then. That money could probably feed them to their heart’s content.”

“Those people might not dare to come,” Xu Yue said, shaking his head. “Those who buy these things aren’t just rich people, but also cultivators.”

Whether it was the little red dot group before or this time, it seems that they are mainly composed of cultivators.

"Oh!"

Tian Yizi nodded.

He was well aware that the things on the farm could aid in his cultivation.

He is now also a cultivator.

They just haven't entered the country yet.

After all, he is usually very busy and has very little time for cultivation.

Moreover, those things are not only delicious, but also good for your health.

Foreign millionaires might be able to resist the temptations of good food, but they absolutely cannot resist the pursuit of better health. "Is the farm expanding?"

Tian Yizhi then asked.

"Ask Yin Xue later if the land issue in Lijia Village has been resolved," Xu Yue said. "If it has, then we'll rent the land in those two villages first."

As for Gongjia'ao, it should be assigned to the college, not the farm.

Although Xu Yue's intervention was also necessary.

"it is good!"

Tian Yizi nodded.

However, she suddenly noticed that Xu Yue's expression was strange, and then followed his gaze.

His expression also looked somewhat strange.

Is this a case of "speak of the devil and he shall appear"?

Yin Xue headed towards Xu Yue's villa.

"Sit down!" Xu Yue greeted Yin Xue with a smile. "What's going on? Why did you send our Secretary Yin to visit us in this scorching sun?"

"What kind of senior secretary?" Yin Xue said with a sneer. "Compared to you, the principal, I'm just a lowly section chief."

Xu Yue was taken aback when he heard this.

What level is a university president?
Vice-ministerial level, director-general level, and deputy director-general level
The administrative rank of a university president is the same as that of the university itself.

Xu Yue is now considered the president of a university.

"The Agricultural Science and Technology College doesn't have any administrative ranks," Xu Yue said with a smile, handing over a cup of tea. "Have some tea."

"You don't have a rank now, but what about in the future?" Yin Xue said. "Who knows, the next time I see you, you'll be a vice-ministerial level leader."

Xu Yue smiled.

Is it possible?

Who knows.

Perhaps, but Xu Yue didn't pay much attention to it.

The Agricultural Science and Technology College has great potential, and it is also valued by higher authorities.

Although even current students at Yenching University can snatch it up, that doesn't mean it can be compared to this.

The Agricultural Science and Technology College is still in its infancy.

"I came to see General Manager Tian, ​​but I heard he was here, so I came directly," Yin Xue said. "Now that the matter in Li Family Village has been resolved, when are you going?"

"Is it resolved?" Xu Yue nodded and said, "I just talked to Lao Tian about this. Since it's resolved, let's rent it then."

If Yin Xue says it's resolved, then there's definitely no problem.

As for how to solve it, Xu Yue wasn't interested.

The reason those people were able to acquire so much land was simply because farming didn't make money.

But if renting land for a year costs 500 yuan per mu, how could the other villagers not complain?

If the villagers make a fuss and the higher-ups intervene, those people won't be able to hold a grudge.

It's not about how much you swallow and how much you spit out, but at least you have to spit it out in a way that satisfies the other villagers.

"I heard your winery is planning to expand?"

Yin Xue then asked.

She was naturally not surprised that Xu Yue rented land in Lijia Village.

That village was, after all, his mother's hometown.

Even though Xu Yue's maternal grandparents had passed away, he still had many relatives and friends.

Putting everything else aside, didn't his uncle go back to the village to build a house?
"Who did you listen to?"

Xu Yue and Tian Yizhi exchanged a glance, then smiled.

He finally understood why Yin Xue had come this time.

It wasn't about renting land in Lijia Village, but about the winery.

Does the farm have a winery?

Naturally there is.

It was only about the size of a small workshop.

Does Taoyuan Winery have any plans to expand?
Naturally there is.

Especially after the rice harvest at the desert farm.

In addition, other villages also grow a lot of sorghum and other crops used for brewing.

"I'm just guessing," Yin Xue said. "Peach Blossom Winery, you're not planning to move to the desert, are you?"

There are now tens of thousands of acres of land in the desert planted with rice, and this area will certainly expand.

The key is that the land there is cheap, yet easy to plan.

“A winery will probably be built over there, but it will mainly focus on red wine,” Xu Yue said. “The winery here will indeed be expanded, but it won’t be moved; it will be expanded directly on the existing site.”

Xu Yue and Tian Yizhi have already discussed this matter.

Tian Yizhi even went so far as to recruit several brewing masters.

There are quite a few good winemakers in Shuzhou.

Shuzhou has many famous wines.

"You probably won't be staying in Xingdong Town for long, will you?"

Xu Yue then asked, and Yin Xue smiled and nodded, understanding the meaning behind his words.

“Xingdong Town is a township under Changjing District,” Yin Xue said. “Since the winery is located in Xingdong Town, it is naturally located in Changjing District as well.”

Xu Yue was speechless upon hearing this.

Yin Xue didn't stay long; after chatting for a while, she said goodbye and left.

Tian Yizhi has also left.

He just got back from outside, and he has a lot of things to deal with.

As for Xu Yue, he was summoned to the academy.

School starts tomorrow, and although he's somewhat of a hands-off manager, he still has to attend meetings.

Xu Yue is the principal, but he is mainly responsible for teaching supernatural formations and does not participate in the school's daily management.

If he were to participate in the school's daily management, regardless of whether he has the ability and experience, he definitely doesn't have the energy.

He wouldn't waste his energy on that.

Otherwise, he would rather not have founded the academy.

If he could find a replacement, he wouldn't even take responsibility for teaching the supernatural formations.

This will definitely be a hit in the future.

But he is, after all, the principal in name only. If he wants to completely relinquish his responsibilities, he can only do so after the academy is on the right track.

Now, let alone getting on the right track, it's just incredibly complicated.

The only saving grace is that the first batch of students was not large.

If it were a prestigious university with tens of thousands of students, it would probably collapse.

how many?
All things considered, it's just over a thousand.

The total number of teachers and students barely exceeds one thousand; even a middle school has more than that number.

Release the university?
That's probably the one with the fewest teachers and students.

The management team of the Agricultural Science and Technology College is actually quite small.

Academician Meng and Han Lingxue were among them.

However, they do not participate in the formation of management.

Their main responsibilities are research and teaching.

Vice Principal Xue Jing is in charge of daily administrative management.

Xu Yue had met him, but that was all; they hadn't talked much.

Of course, the responsibility definitely lies with Xu Yue.

Xue Jing previously served as the vice president of an agricultural college and has experience in administrative management.

He initially refused to be transferred to this agricultural technology college.

Especially since this university is newly built and located in a third-tier city.

When he arrived and saw the state of the academy, he was completely distraught.

However, things have clearly changed dramatically now.
