I am farming in the real world

Chapter 80: The Methods Are Unbelievably Rough (Seeking Subscriptions)

Night, Rizhao Port Wharf.

Looking at the several large-caliber grain suction machines at the port, each capable of unloading 2,000 tons per hour, which were currently whirring and extracting the golden soybeans from the ship's hold, the bosses of the small and medium-sized enterprises present couldn't sit still.

The quality of this first batch of soybeans was simply too excellent, even better-looking than the genetically modified soybeans they usually imported from the Americas.

Moreover, for every additional thousand tons ordered from Red Star Trading, there was a 1% discount.

Such a large concession was enough to make anyone restless.

Because every small business owner or factory owner knew that profits mostly weren't earned, but saved.

In the current sluggish market, saving a few percentage points meant millions, or even tens of millions, more in profit each year for these grain and oil company bosses.

Therefore, after the arrival of Wu Fen, the financial officer from Red Star Trading, a crowd of bosses surrounded her, eager to get the company's bank account details.

Some even suggested signing contracts on the spot, creating a "pay first, pick up goods later" queue-jumping mechanism.

After all, the order quantities everyone had reported in the group before were just verbal agreements and had no legal effect.

If they wanted to change the order of picking up goods, it was up to the boss of Red Star Trading to make the decision.

"Everyone, please calm down!"

"Our General Manager Shang said that the goods will be picked up in the order of the list in the WeChat group. If the money hasn't been collected, it will be postponed temporarily. We don't accept advance payments."

Wu Fen, the assigned financial accountant, wiped her sweat and kept explaining.

She had been unemployed at home taking care of her children for more than half a year. Recently, she saw a company called Red Star Trading recruiting on a recruitment website and tried submitting her resume.

Unexpectedly, after going for an interview and chatting for a few words, she was directly hired by that big-nosed General Manager Shang.

Getting the offer so smoothly made Wu Fen mistakenly believe that she had joined a shell company, the kind that would go bankrupt after a few months.

After all, Red Star Trading didn't even have a decent headquarters, just a small 20-square-meter cubicle in an entrepreneurial park, filled with a few second-hand desks and chairs, and a few A4-sized paper signs printed as a storefront, maximizing frugality.

This shabby office environment was even worse than a breakfast shop at the entrance of the residential area!

According to that big-nosed General Manager Shang's persuasion, this was called streamlined office work, avoiding formalism.

The working hours were also different from ordinary companies. Surprisingly, there was no need to clock in on time, and most of the time, she just had to work from home and be on standby.

The only errand Wu Fen needed to run was to come to the wharf after the company's cargo ship arrived, connect with these big boss customers, and collect the payment into the company's account.

Then, every quarter, she would go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau and Customs to report taxes and pay fees, which was very easy.

If she hadn't known that Red Star Trading was in the business of importing soybeans, that the company had legal customs clearance procedures and origin qualifications from Russia, and that the salary was much higher than the market price,

Wu Fen even secretly suspected that she had joined a gray-industry company specializing in illegal activities?

After all, recently, news about people being tricked into joining jobs to engage in money laundering and buying gold on behalf of others had emerged endlessly.

It wasn't until she came to Rizhao Port Wharf tonight, saw the bulk carrier entrusted by her company, and the bosses driving luxury cars surrounded her, begging her to make the payment, that Wu Fen realized that the eloquent General Manager Shang hadn't lied!

"My goodness!"

"A ship of soybeans is worth more than 50 million?"

"Our Red Star Company is too strong!" Wu Fen exclaimed inwardly.

Turning on the video call, under the remote command of the big nose, she used the company's official seal and signed a delivery agreement with the three bosses on the delivery list, and soon received more than 50 million in cash on the public account.

Then, the three bosses who picked up the goods in the first batch happily went to call the convoy to load soybeans from the wharf's grain depot.

Jin Lizhi and the other bosses who were queuing behind were all envious.

Although Red Star Trading only accepted cash and didn't play the game of debt and acceptance bills, which was very unfriendly to bosses with less working capital.

But they couldn't resist the fact that the goods they sent were beautiful!

It was like buying vegetables at the market, buying what you like, and leaving if you don't like it.

Moreover, there were discounts for large quantities, which was much more comfortable than begging other soybean suppliers to give you a little soybean after a lot of haggling.

Therefore, that night, many more heads of grain and oil companies who smelled the scent of money joined the ordering group and began to report their reservation numbers to the group owner, Lao Shang, in thousands or even tens of thousands of tons.

Some small processing plants that couldn't afford the 'minimum order of 1,000 tons' threshold found small buyers in the group to form a group to make up the amount.

"This General Manager Shang of Red Star is really a talent!"

"Otherwise, how could he start out as a big shot and earn money from our small grain and oil companies?"

"Just selling it in this small group has already ordered more than 300,000 tons of Russian soybeans. I estimate that the value of the goods is almost 1.5 billion."

"It is said that this volume can be delivered within two weeks. This method is unbelievably rough!"

"Apart from those large state-owned companies in Rizhao Port, how many can play with such large spot goods?"

"I heard that there is also a large customer group with a minimum order of 10,000 tons. I don't know if this is true."

The small bosses watching on the wharf were talking about it, revealing a bit of longing and admiration for Lao Shang in their words.

Being able to turn soybeans, a popular commodity on the futures market, into a group-buying sales model, it is estimated that this is the only one in Rizhao.

… …

Let's turn back time a few days.

Because he stayed up late that night to modify the 10,000-ton bulk carrier and also developed a centipede transport ship suitable for soybean planting.

Chen Jue, who had stayed up all night, slept comfortably for more than 8 hours after lying down on the [Bed] in MC.

When he woke up, it was already evening.

When he went down to the base to take a look, the planting base, which had been expanded to 3,000 layers, had already planted more than 300 layers at a very terrifying efficiency under the constant busy work of 10 iron golem teams of 4 people each.

"At this rate, theoretically, we can plant about 1.35 million acres a day."

"If we want to be faster, the manpower on the Magic Cube Factory and Iron Man Logistics side will not be enough." Chen Jue stroked his chin.

After getting up, he first gnawed on a [Cooked Chicken] to fill his hunger.

After that, he came to the soybean planting area on the 1st floor to observe the growth of this domestic Northeast soybean.

After only 8 hours, green seedlings that could not be seen at a glance had emerged on the originally brown and flat MC farmland.

Coming to a square block of farmland, Chen Jue took out [Bone Meal] from his backpack and began to sprinkle it on the green seedlings.

After a burst of green pixelated scenery, the soybeans, which were originally in the seedling stage, began to grow wildly, and immediately grew into lush leguminous plants.

After sprinkling another handful of [Bone Meal], the soybean plants in this grid began to turn yellow, bearing withered yellow bean pods.

"From seeds to seedlings, from seedlings to adult plants, the next step is fruiting. This real-world soybean actually only has 3 MC growth stages!" Chen Jue revealed a gleam of light in his eyes after the test.

You must know that soybeans do not exist as crops in the original MC.

Soybean seeds will only appear if you add the tofu mod or the agricultural technology mod.

However, compared to the speed of more than 100 days required for harvesting and collecting in reality, this set of soybeans planted in MC farmland has obviously accelerated a lot in terms of growth speed.

According to the data collected by Chen Jue when planting vegetables before, this batch of soybeans from planting to harvesting is estimated to only take a short 52 hours.

"In this case, before the 3,000 layers below are finished planting, the first batch planted above can be harvested."

"Planting and harvesting at the same time, infinite cycle, this is even more powerful than growing bean sprouts and leeks!" Chen Jue couldn't help but admire when he saw this.

Then he took out a [Iron Axe] and slashed it at the grid of ripened soybean plants.

With a Sa~ sound, just like hitting grass in MC.

Those bean pods hanging all over the branches, along with the plants, were covered with white cracks, and then they shattered into soybean seeds and flew into Chen Jue's backpack.

"It even saves the step of peeling the bean pods?"

"This is similar to the setting of MC hitting grass to explode seeds." Chen Jue's face showed joy when he saw this.

Picking up an MC-produced soybean seed, a line of subtitles different from before appeared.

[Soybean Seed: A high-quality crop rich in plant protein, which can be used to make various bean products and oils. Feeding poultry and livestock can shorten their growth and development time by 10%.]
