I, little fox, farming is popular all over the world!

"Cooperative planting? What do you mean, to promote rice and wheat?"

"Looking at the meaning in the investment invitation document, it is to contract the land for others to grow, but only rice and wheat can be grown, and nothing else can be grown."

"Bosses of the planting industry, hurry up, great business opportunity!"

"It's a good opportunity, but it's a pity that I don't know how to farm, otherwise I would go. Even if it doesn't have the effect of treating mental disorders, the rice and flour will definitely be out of stock."

"Does it mean that there will be a lot of rice and flour for sale soon? We don't have to fight to the death?"

……

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet about the investment promotion information released by Fang Li and his company. They are all guessing the intention behind Fang Li's business behavior. Many plantation bosses are also evaluating the commercial value behind this information. Many of them are moving fast and have already started Call to inquire.

Lu Hongzhi also saw this news and was also thinking.

He is a small plantation owner on planet T29. He grew up in a very poor family. After graduating from high school, he went out to work, and then returned home to farm. After marrying his wife at the age of 30, he contracted more than 100 mu of land at home and planted round corn. The annual income is so-so, hard-earned money, but it is passable in their hometown.

However, in the past two years, the price of round corn has dropped, but the price of goods has been soaring, and the land rent has also become more expensive. He feels that it is getting more and more difficult.

The news about the earth has been overwhelming the Internet these days, so he naturally saw it too.

Seeing the crops on the earth, Lu Hongzhi thought to himself at that time, look, he farms, and other people also farm, but the things they grow are unique, not only the price is high, but also easy to sell.

He also thought in his heart that it would be great if he could plant one of these.

But this kind of thing is unique to other companies, and no one is willing to plant it for others.

From the second day since the special products of the earth went on sale, he has been grabbing them online every day, but he has never snatched one.

He didn't grab this to cure mental disorders, but to get some seeds to see if he could plant them.

But he couldn't grab it.

Although Earth Company puts 10,000+ catties of specialty products on the shelves every day, which seems to be a lot, but the population of the empire is 10,000 to [-] planets, tens of billions of people, so [-]+ catties, at least billions of people are robbing, the result is terrible One can imagine.

Therefore, now seeing that the Earth Company is actually attracting investment and letting others grow rice and wheat, he is deeply moved.

Lu Hongzhi looked at the document carefully again, and he met all the conditions in it.

He looked up again at the [-]-acre round corn field he had contracted in front of him. It was growing well, but it wasn't time to harvest it yet.But since the beginning of this year, the price of round corn has dropped a bit, and he can roughly predict this year's income.

Not starving, but not more.

He was a little anxious. He also wanted to replace the new machine, build a more spacious house for his family, and give his two children a better education...

After thinking for a while, he stood up and dialed the investment number according to the contact information in the earth company's investment documents.

——Sorry, the number you dialed is busy.

He dialed the second, the third...

Each of the four investment promotion phones is busy, so there should be many inquiries, he thought.

He has been calling more than 20 times, and finally connected.

"Hello, this is the Investment Promotion Department of Earth Agriculture Development Co., Ltd."

Lu Hongzhi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Hello, I would like to inquire about the content of the investment invitation announcement you released today..."

He was on the phone while walking home, and when he got home, he told his family that he wanted to go to Earth. After an hour of analysis, the family finally decided to let Lu Hongzhi go to Earth first.

Lu Hongzhi immediately filled out the inspection registration form according to the information he had consulted.

The next morning, he also paid special attention to the sales of the new rice and flour launched by Earth Agriculture Development Co., Ltd.

The price is 198 yuan per catty, which is lower than what he imagined. He thought it would cost several hundred.

But it is much more expensive than round corn.

Although rice and flour did not have the same effect on treating mental disorders as other fruits and vegetables, [-] catties of rice and [-] catties of flour were quickly sold out.

He deliberately switched back to Xingbo to read the comments of netizens.

"Damn it! Only 198! I thought it would be at least seven or eight hundred! What a conscience!"

"I prepared 4000 yuan to grab rice, but I didn't get it!"

"I didn't get it! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"I snatched it! Two catties! Let me tell you what it tastes like after I eat it!"

"I snatched tomatoes before! My son really didn't have any pain from the mental disorder period the next day after eating it! It's a special product of the earth! Absolutely! There are two tomatoes left, and his father ate them later, but only two No, but his father also said that it only hurts a little, but it is also very effective!"

"I read Lin Yinghou's Starblog before, and it said that white rice is a hundred times better than round corn! I want to eat it too, woo woo woo~"

……

Seeing the public's comments, Lu Hongzhi felt a little relieved, and only hoped that he could pass the preliminary review over there and get the opportunity to go to Earth for investigation.

The next day, he received an electronic invitation letter for inspection as he wished.

Two days later, Lu Hongzhi arrived on time at the meeting place of the first batch of expedition teams on star T15 with a bag on his back, which is the office of Earth Company on star T15.

When Lu Hongzhi walked in, the hall was already full of people. It was estimated that there were five or sixty people with luggage at their feet. They should all have signed up to go to Earth for investigation.

He sat down in a corner, put his backpack on his lap, and looked at the people sitting there. Many of them were well-groomed in formal clothes, and they looked like company bosses or executives.

He looked at his T-shirt and slacks, and felt a little uneasy. There were also ordinary clothes in his bag, not even a formal suit.

He thought, should he buy a suit and put it on?

Next to him came another person, who was about the same age as him, also dressed very casually.

The man sat down and asked him, "Brother, are you going to investigate the earth too?"

Lu Hongzhi nodded: "Yes."

"I came from T5 star, where did you come from?"

"T29." Hearing that he came from T5 star, Lu Hongzhi thought to himself, this person should be a big boss. T5 star is a famous agricultural planet, and many large agricultural companies are located in T5 star.

He couldn't help asking: "Are you looking at rice or wheat?"

The man replied: "Wheat. I have a fixed dessert cooperative over there, and Wheat just meets my needs. How about you?"

Lu Hongzhi heaved a sigh of relief, he was not a competitor.He replied, "I'm going to see the rice."

He took another look at the man. Although the clothes on the man looked like casual clothes, they were all big brands, which were different from the miscellaneous brands he was wearing.

He turned his head and looked out the window. There were office buildings on the opposite side, and there seemed to be no place to sell clothes.

He regretted it a little, he should have bought two sets of decent clothes yesterday.

Although they are there to investigate, with so many people, there must be screening on the other side of the earth. This is a process of mutual selection.If you show yourself to be more capable, the other party will have a good impression.

While he was in a daze, a staff member came to remind him: "Everyone, the first batch of inspectors has arrived at our assembly point. We are now leaving for the airport. The company's spaceship is already waiting for you. Everyone, please follow me."

Lu Hongzhi withdrew his gaze, a little annoyed, but it was too late now, so he had to pick up his bag and go out with everyone.

On board the spaceship, he found not only them, but also many people on the spaceship, who came from other concentration points.

He heard someone ask the staff how many people there were, and the staff said that there were 200 people in the first batch, and they were arranged according to the time order in which the registration form was submitted.

Lu Hongzhi thought to himself, fortunately his registration form was handed in quickly.

T15 star is the closest inhabited planet to the earth, and it takes seven or eight hours to reach the earth.

At noon, the people they went to investigate ate food made of special products from the earth for the first time on the spacecraft, and also ate the objects they were going to investigate this time, white rice and steamed buns.

The grains of white rice are crystal clear and very beautiful, a little sticky, exuding a natural luster, and smelling delicate.

The shape alone is more attractive than round corn.

Lu Hongzhi picked up the chopsticks and first put one chopstick into his mouth. The rice was moderately soft and hard, smooth in the mouth, a little springy, a little sweet, and it was amazing that the more he chewed, the sweeter it became, and there was a sweet aftertaste.

Lu Hongzhi couldn't help staring at the white rice in the bowl with wide eyes, feeling in his heart, no wonder those big stars who ate too much delicious food said it was delicious, it was indeed much better than round corn.

"Hey, this white rice is perfect!" Sitting opposite Lu Hongzhi was the person from the T5 star who spoke to him. The two chatted on the road, and they made a simple friend.

"Well, it's very delicious, those celebrities are not lying." Lu Hongzhi said.

The man said again: "Try this bun, it is said to be made of flour."

The two started eating buns again, which were meat buns.

Bite down and see the pork filling inside. The bun skin is soft and the taste is very delicate. With the salty meat filling, the two couldn't help but glance at each other at the same time.

"Damn it, it's so delicious!"

"Well, the taste is so delicate!"

Not only white rice and meat buns, but also other dishes from the earth let them eat so much that they didn't have time to say anything more.

There was a sigh of emotion in the dining room, and the people who came to investigate had their judgments on the food on the earth, and they also had more measurements on the subsequent inspections.

It was [-]:[-] PM Earth time when they arrived on Earth.

Fang Li and Chu Cheng attached great importance to it, and personally brought people to greet everyone.

After settling them down and resting for a while, at 03:30 in the afternoon, everyone gathered in their big meeting room and started the investment promotion briefing.

Lu Hongzhi sat down with the others, and a business invitation plan was placed on everyone's desk, which contained detailed investment requirements and cooperation plans.

The director of the investment promotion department presided over the meeting in person. Fang Li and Chu Cheng made speeches first, and then the director of the investment promotion department took everyone through the content of the investment promotion plan, and then began to answer questions.

The director of investment promotion said: "The above is the content of the investment promotion plan. We will organize a field trip for everyone tomorrow. If you have time later, you can also take a look at our rice fields nearby. If you have any doubts now, you can ask them first. We'll answer."

This plan explained the cooperation method in detail, and also listed what both parties should do, and it seemed that the conditions were the same regardless of whether it was a large company or an individual grower.

For example, the price of renting land for everyone is 1000 yuan per mu of land/land per year. This price is very cheap, even a little cheaper than the land rented by Lu Hongzhi.

Others, such as grain seeds, rental machinery, and the purchase of specialized rice transplanters, are all at the same price, including the profit sharing ratio handed over to them every year, which is also a uniform 20%.

Moreover, there are many strange contents.

Lu Hongzhi had many questions and doubts in his mind, and so did other people.

Someone raised his hand and asked, "Director Luo, may I ask why you charge rent for renting land? Isn't the earth the land of the empire? We should rent it from the country."

Director Luo explained: "Everyone may not know that the earth was sold by the government more than a year ago, and it is now our boss's private property. Our boss does not sell the land, but only rents it out."

Everyone was surprised, had the earth been sold?

However, they can also understand that the empire often sells some desolate stars that are uninhabited and have no other resources such as minerals to be exploited. Some wealthy people will buy them and do not use them for other purposes, just to name themselves.

Another person asked: "Are all prices the same? For example, if I want to rent tens of thousands of acres, should I give you a better dividend ratio than others who rent thousands of acres?"

"The unified price remains unchanged." Director Luo glanced at everyone and said, "Or you can understand this investment method as joining, and we treat all enterprises or individuals who join the earth's planting industry equally.

"And, bosses, our price is very cheap. We haven't charged the franchise fee yet. Our planting techniques are also taught for free. We only charge 20% of the partner's net profit every year. This is already the best price. Yes. Besides, I believe you should be able to see that our rice and wheat have huge profits, and I dare say that they are more profitable than any of the crops you grow."

"What's more, we have already solved the hardest part for you, and planting is the easiest step."

Someone puzzled: "How to say?"

Director Luo explained: "I believe everyone knows that in the past, the earth could not grow anything, and any crops could not grow. The reason why we can start to grow things now is that our boss has reduced the radiation here to achieve normal life. level, so that everyone can move freely without wearing protective clothing. He also found a way to deal with the harmful substances in the soil, so that he can plant them. And most importantly, the crop seeds of the ancient earth, I believe everyone knows the value .”

The people below started discussing.

"No wonder, I said why don't you need to wear protective clothing."

"I watched the live broadcast. Their boss is very powerful, and they also cooperate with the military department."

"I don't know how their seeds came from?"

"..."

Director Luo waited for them to talk for a while before he said, "Do you have any other questions?"

"Excuse me, why are the prices of rice and flour fixed at 168-198 yuan per catty?"

Director Luo asked with a smile: "Then do you want to go higher or lower?"

The man said: "I think your price is too low."

Someone echoed: "Yes, it can be higher, everyone can make money."

Director Luo smiled and said, "Thank you for your affirmation of our products."

After a pause, he continued: "Rice and wheat are staple foods. The reason why we attract investment and promote planting is because our boss hopes that one day in the future, everyone in the empire can eat white rice and pasta. The price will not be higher in the future. , on the contrary, it will become lower and lower. This condition is the same as the others, it is a mandatory condition, and this one must be complied with. If we find that a partner violates the contract and exceeds this price range, we will immediately cancel the cooperation .”

Everyone discussed again, and they could see that although the earth is attracting investment, all the conditions are set by them. Those who want to come to plant, there is no room for negotiation at all, and everything has been stipulated .

The only thing they have the right to decide is whether to come or not, and how much land to rent.

Others asked questions one after another. Lu Hongzhi sat in the back and listened carefully, feeling a little excited.

In fact, what he is most worried about is that after planting here, the rent will be high, the profit share will be high, and there will be no way to solve the mechanical problems, as well as their food and accommodation.

After all, he is different from those big companies. Big companies can live in spaceships first, then build houses, and have funds to buy machinery.He is just a small farmer with limited resources, and it is much more difficult to start over in another strange place than a big company.

However, looking at the plan, the professional machinery in it can be rented. If there is no place to live, they can also rent their house first, and they can also pay for food in their canteen.

As for the issue of profit sharing, he can accept it, and even think it is very favorable.Someone else's unique technology is equivalent to only accounting for one-fifth of the technology stocks. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

And it can be seen that this rice and wheat can make a lot of money, and the profit is extremely high!

It sells for 198 yuan a catty, even if the lowest price is 168 yuan, the profit can be at least 120 yuan, right?

How much round corn does it take to earn so much!

Lu Hongzhi has already made up his mind to stay and study, and now he only worries about one problem.

If he rents less land and can only rent a hundred acres, are they willing to rent it to themselves?

The meeting was held until almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone had a steelyard in their hearts.

After the meeting, it was still early, Director Luo took them to see the nearest rice fields.

On the way, the man from Star T5 asked Lu Hongzhi again: "How do you feel?"

Lu Hongzhi said honestly: "I think it's pretty good, but now I'm afraid that people don't want me. What about you? Your big company should be very confident."

"I have to go back and discuss with them." The man glanced at Chu Cheng who was walking ahead, and said, "Their conditions are too tough, there is no room for negotiation."

Lu Hongzhi nodded: "After all, they are Party A."

The man said again: "Hey, tell me, can this rice and wheat be grown on other planets?"

Lu Hongzhi shook his head: "I don't know, I think it might not work."

"No." A voice suddenly sounded from the side.

The two turned their heads and saw that it was Fang Li, the owner of Earth Agriculture Development Co., Ltd.

"Mr. Fang, you just said you can't, why?" the person from Planet T5 asked.

Fang Li replied: "Because the earth's crops are only suitable for the earth's environment and soil. For example, rice can be grown alive if it is grown on other planets, but the yield of the first generation is very low, and the yield of the second generation is even lower. The third generation No more millet. This is why the earth species became extinct in the interstellar world.”

After a pause, Fang Li continued talking.

"So after leaving the earth at that time, scientists had no choice but to hybridize the species of the earth with the species of other planets. The round corn is a kind of crop called corn on the earth and other species adapted to the local area. Later, after generations of improvements, it became the current round corn, and you can also find that there are many varieties of round corn, all of which were developed to adapt to the environments of different planets in the entire empire."

These are what Professor Xie told Fang Li, so Fang Li is not worried that others will take rice and wheat to other planets for planting.

Because there is no competition at all.

"So that's how it is." Lu Hongzhi sighed, "It is true that the round corn in each planet is not the same, and the taste is slightly different."

Fang Li nodded: "That's the truth."

Walking to the rice fields, everyone began to visit.

The rice in the field they are looking at is about to mature, and the heavy rice is hanging on the ears of rice, golden.

"Director Luo, how many catties does this rice yield per mu?" someone asked.

Director Luo: "One thousand seventy-eight."

"Hey, the output is okay."

Lu Hongzhi looked at the large area of ​​rice, a little lost in thought, and found Fang Li standing on the ridge beside him, and Lu Hongzhi greeted, "Boss Fang."

Fang Li turned his head, saw that it was Lu Hongzhi just now, and asked, "Boss Lu, how do you feel here?"

"Very good. Boss Fang, I have a question."

"You said."

Lu Hongzhi asked a question that he was very concerned about, "What is the yield rate of this rice?"

Several people around heard it and looked over one after another.

Fang Li said: "One hundred catties of wet rice is about 70 catties after drying. The rice yield depends on whether it is polished rice or brown rice. The yield rate of brown rice is generally [-] to [-]%. If it is milled rice, Just a little less, about [-] to [-]%. You can sell the rice bran that is punched out to us, and we buy rice bran.”①

After hearing this, everyone began to think in their hearts.

Lu Hongzhi also made a rough calculation in his mind. If he rents a 100-mu field, even if the output, dry rice, rice yield, and price are all calculated as the lowest, the net profit is calculated as 20, and 1000% of the company's share is deducted. In two seasons a year, you can earn at least... [-] million.

Lu Hongzhi was shocked by this number.

Even if the price drops in the future, it will never be lower than round corn!

And the net profit must be higher than 100!

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned around and asked Fang Li, "Boss Fang, I want to ask one more question."

"You said."

Lu Hongzhi paused for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "I contracted [-] mu of land in my hometown, so the funds may not be sufficient. If, if I can only contract [-] mu of land, you guys, are you willing to work with me? Do you want to cooperate?"

Fang Li looked at the dark man in front of him, saw his nervous expression, and said with a smile: "Yes, as long as you want to come to the earth to develop the planting industry, we welcome you."

"Really? Thank you, Boss Fang!" Lu Hongzhi was extremely happy, thinking that he would be able to make a lot of money in a short time, and he was about to faint.

Fang Li nodded, and said: "And, as long as it is planted for one season, you can expand the planting."

"Yes!" Lu Hongzhi thought the same way. At that time, not only would he be able to expand his planting, he could also buy specialized machinery, no need to rent any more, and he could even build a house by himself!

You can live in a big house for your family and send your children to the best schools!

He sees an infinitely bright future here.

Fang Li looked at his face and began to look forward to it, and smiled: "Boss Lu, I still want to remind you that you have to learn the technology first, and, at the beginning, your production may not reach [-] mu."

"I will study hard, and I will only know how to farm." Lu Hongzhi scratched his head and said, he didn't worry about the problems he couldn't learn at all, after all, he had the foundation.

Moreover, even if it is only five or six hundred catties per mu, it will be much more profitable than at home!

Fang Li walked around, listened to their discussion, felt that there was no problem, turned around and walked back.

Back downstairs in the office, he ran into Li Wei.

After saying hello, he saw that Li Wei hesitated as if he wanted to say something to him, but it was difficult to say it.

"Uncle Dawei, do you have something to say to me?"

Li Wei blushed, and finally said, "Mr. Fang, I think, I think..."

"Huh? What are you thinking?" Fang Li asked.

Li Wei didn't dare to look at Fang Li anymore, he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I thought, can I also rent some fields to grow?"

Fang Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes."

Fang Li and Chu Cheng had expected this situation before.After all, the profits are huge, and it is inevitable that the existing planters, especially those who have learned to grow rice and wheat very early, will also have ideas.

Li Wei raised his head in surprise, opened his mouth, and looked at Fang Li in disbelief.

Fang Li smiled and said, "What's the matter? You think I won't agree?"

"No, it's not." Li Wei scratched his head and said, "I'm just, a little embarrassed, I feel sorry for you."

The company taught him techniques, and now he wants to go out and do it alone, and he always feels a little sorry for Fang Li.

Fang Li thought for a while and said, "Uncle Dawei, don't feel embarrassed, you didn't feel sorry for me. This time is indeed an opportunity. We are also cooperating with others, and we are also cooperating with you. You can earn money and live better I am also very happy."

Li Wei looked at Fang Li moved and somewhat ashamed, not knowing what to say, so he could only say, "Thank you boss."

"However, you have to help me cultivate someone who can take over before you can leave."

"Of course." Li Wei said affirmatively, and added, "Boss, if you need me somewhere, just call me, and I will definitely come over."

"Okay." Fang Li smiled, and asked again, "Are there many people who want to contract farming?"

Li Wei nodded: "There are many people who have learned how to grow rice and wheat, and those who have some savings at home. They are all thinking about this, but I don't know if the company agrees. Because the fields you rent may not be as many as big companies, and they are too fragmented. , I am afraid that the company will not rent it."

Fang Li: "Well, I'll go back and discuss with President Chu what to do."

"Okay, thank you boss."

Chu Cheng has been busy with business affairs, Fang Li waited until nine o'clock in the evening to sit down with Chu Cheng to talk about it.

"Li Wei came first?" Chu Cheng asked.

"Yes." Fang Li sighed, and said, "He was the first employee I recruited, and now he wants to go out and work alone, I still feel a little weird."

Chu Cheng comforted him, "Isn't this what we expected before?"

"Yes." Fang Li put his face on the table and sighed, "It feels like the partners who worked hard together have broken up."

Chu Cheng smiled helplessly: "You have to get used to this kind of thing. Since you decided to divide the rice and wheat, it is inevitable. If you still divide the ordinary version of vegetables and fruits in the future, more people will leave. People come and go, This is just a base for cultivating planting talents.”

"No!" The more Fang Li thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, he raised his head suddenly and said, "Let's increase the profit share a bit more! How about raising it by another 10%?"

Chu Cheng laughed, "All the information has been sent out, you are now talking about it? Before they wanted to raise the unit price, didn't you press it?"

Fang Li blinked, "The second batch starts?"

Chu Cheng looked at him, "Don't you want to promote rice and wheat?"

Fang Li was silent for a while, then got down again, "Okay."

The next day, the director of the Investment Promotion Department organized another 200 people to the second planting area to see rice and wheat. In the afternoon, they went to the designated contracting area. The rice was all in the south, and the wheat was unified in the north.

"The land is vast, and you can rent as much land as you want. However," the director of the investment promotion department changed the subject and said, "The one who signs the contract first has the right to choose the land first. You can go back and think about it."

Lu Hongzhi immediately raised his hand: "Director Luo, I've thought about it, and I can sign the contract now."

"I can also sign now."

"I can too."

"And I."

"..."

Several individual growers, and several bosses who came in person said.

Many people looked at them with shock and envy.

This is the advantage of individual growers and bosses coming in person, they can make decisions by themselves, and those sent by companies like them have to go back to have a meeting with the boss to discuss.

fall!

Immediately, someone called the boss of the company: "Hey boss, first sign the contract and choose the land first, we have to make a decision quickly, otherwise the good positions will be chosen by others, or you should bring someone over to take a look..."

When the others saw it, they also made phone calls one after another.

The director of the investment promotion department saw him and smiled with satisfaction.

This is really the easiest investment promotion job he has done in his more than 20 years of professional career.
