Rebirth to 90s: Start from Scratch

The next day, early in the morning, Shi Chengwang came, but Song Weizhuang did not come, but he brought a few other staff.

After a lot of courtesy, everyone began to enter the topic.

Because there are more people participating in the discussion, Zhang Qianxiu, Su Yuwei, Yuan Pengchi, Xu Lun, Tian Junhua, Pei Anping, Shi Chengwang, and the four staff members that Shi Chengwang brought together, there are already more than ten people.

Shi Chengwang took out a document and handed it to Zhang Qianxiu: "Boss Zhang, this is something I asked them to draw up overnight. I have also read it. This is basically the case. As for some small details, Boss Zhang, please take a look. Is there anything else to add."

Zhang Qianxiu took over the documents. This one is quite a bit. There are more than a dozen pieces of paper. This is completely in accordance with the contract standards. This is a contract.

It is impossible to write this contract one night. It is estimated that it was drawn up a long time ago, but it was only taken out last night and slightly changed.

Shi Chengwang prepared a few more contracts and handed another one to Su Yuwei and Yuan Pengchi.

Zhang Qianxiu read the contract carefully.

There is basically no problem with the contract. There are many problems that Zhang Qianxiu thinks of, and they are also written in it. Zhang Qianxiu himself is also quite satisfied.

However, the wasteland has been used by Zhang Qianxiu for fifteen years. Yuan Pengchi told Zhang Qianxiu before this time limit.

Zhang Qianxiu put the contract on the table and said, "Lao Shi, this time is too short. In the first three to five years, I basically couldn't make any money. I didn't lose money. It would be nice to keep my money."

"I will have to recover the cost of the initial investment in the next few years. If I calculate this way, I will not be able to recover the cost in about ten years."

"On the premise that everything goes smoothly, if mechanization encounters some problems, maybe I will toss for fifteen years, and I will be able to save money and make no money.

"Old Shi, you have to use those land for thirty years."

Shi Chengwang shook his head repeatedly: "Thirty years is too long, impossible."

Zhang Qianxiu said: "Lao Shi, the profit of agriculture is inherently low, and this investment is huge."

"A series of expenditures such as river courses, water canals, land rectification, purchase of machinery, operating costs, etc., can't be done without ten or twenty million."

If you want to do this, it really costs ten to twenty million.

The project investment of 10 to 20 million is now a big project.

Shi Chengwang used to do agricultural research, and now he is in charge of the agricultural department. He calculated the rate of return in his mind, and said, "Boss Zhang, the rate of return in agriculture is really not high, but it won’t take you ten years to get back your money. Five years will be enough."

Zhang Qianxiu said: "Plowing machines, planters, harvesters, etc., these machines are hundreds of thousands. We will definitely use large machines at that time. We can't produce them in China. We can only import them. To train employees, maintenance workers, etc., all of these costs must be counted!"

"Even if we have 300,000 mu, we have to collect it within a certain period of time."

Zhang Qianxiu said and looked at Xu Lun, because he didn't know how soon the wheat would be harvested when it was ripe.

Xu Lun was clever and immediately reacted and said: "Wheat cannot be harvested after it is fully ripe, because it is harvested by a machine. It is easy to fall off if it is harvested when it is fully ripe."

"The harvest time is about ten days, and now a better harvester works for one day, about 100 acres."

Hearing this, Zhang Qianxiu was stunned for a while, only harvesting one hundred acres a day, which was far below Zhang Qianxiu's expectations, but Xu Lun's data should not be too far apart.

The data should be similar. Zhang Qianxiu looked to Shi Chengwang: "Lao Shi, according to this number, even if 300,000 acres of land, we have to harvest 30,000 acres a day, and a harvester only has 100 acres. We need 300 harvesters. That's fine!"

"There are also rippers, planters, etc., and the time requirements are relatively fast. I originally thought that ten to twenty million would be enough. After such a calculation, I am afraid that 100 million may not be enough!"

When talking about this amount, Zhang Qianxiu's heart trembled.

He really hadn't thought about investing so much in this. Looking back, he hadn't done the preparation work at all.

Too reckless!

Shi Chengwang pondered, because the data Zhang Qianxiu said was not wrong, and the investment was indeed very large.

"Boss Zhang! Thirty years is really too long, even if I promise, the official can't promise." Shi Chengwang said: "Eighteen years!"

Zhang Qianxiu shook his head: "Lao Shi, I won't make it difficult for you. Twenty-five years."

"I'll take ten years to pay back. You have to make me at least a little bit. I will take fifteen years of profits."

"I have so much money, even if it is deposited in the bank, the interest of 10% a year is good."

"Even if it is 100 million, I put it in the bank, and it will increase by 10% a year, 25 years without compound interest, my interest is 250 million, don't you think?

"I am thankful that the profit rate of agriculture is 8%. If there is a disaster year, I may still lose money."

"Lao Shi, you count, even if I grow wheat and yield a thousand catties per mu, I have 300,000 mu, I only have 150,000 tons."

Everyone looked at Zhang Qianxiu in surprise.

Zhang Qianxiu also felt that something was wrong, and quickly reacted. He estimated that he said that the output was wrong, but he asked indifferently: "Professor Yuan, what is the output of wheat in Yizhou?"

Yuan Pengchi said: "The high yield is more than 600, and the low yield is more than 200 kilograms. According to the national statistics this year, the output of winter wheat per hectare is 3,286 kilograms."

"The yield of spring wheat is 2,696 kilograms per hectare."

Zhang Qianxiu calculated that one hectare is 15 acres. In this calculation, the average yield of winter wheat is 438 jin per mu, and that of spring wheat is 359 jin per mu.

This output was completely lower than Zhang Qianxiu's expectations.

"The output is so low?" Zhang Qianxiu couldn't help asking.

Yuan Pengchi nodded and said: "The average yield per mu of Chinese rice was the highest last year, but in fact it did not reach one thousand catties."

Only then did Zhang Qianxiu realize that there was a big error in the data he knew, and some took it for granted.

Zhang Qianxiu couldn't help sighing, and said, "Lao Shi, for twenty-five years, it can't be lower."

"Even if the yield per mu is 500 jin, it will be 75,000 tons a year."

"Even if I earn 30 per ton, it would be 2 million a year, 20 million in ten years, and 40 million in 20 years."

"There is no profit margin at all."

Shi Chengwang said, "Boss Zhang, you are planting winter wheat. Before planting winter wheat, you can plant other things for a season!"

Zhang Qianxiu said, "Even if I double my profits, I almost never make money!"

Zhang Qianxiu actually considered the profit low, because all the mechanization will reduce various costs, and his profit has more room.

Shi Chengwang also knew that this profit should be more than that, but now there is no such large-scale planting as Zhang Qianxiu in the country. Even a state-owned farm does not have such a large scale as Zhang Qianxiu, and there is not much data to refer to.

"Boss Zhang, twenty years!" Shi Chengwang said, "Twenty years have been a lot."

Zhang Qianxiu said, "Lao Shi, in fact, you will definitely be transferred after a few years. Give me this piece of land for a few years, and it doesn't really affect you."

"But if I can use it for a few more years, it will have a great impact on me. If I only do it for more than a decade, I guess I can only make a profit. It's better to put the money in the bank."

"I don't have to take any risks myself."

"I am a businessman. I would rather earn less than take more risks."

Shi Chengwang hesitated for a while, and said, "Boss Zhang, twenty-five years is a bit too long, but what you said has some truth."

"I can go to the city to apply, but it's hard to say whether I can apply at this time."

Shi Chengwang wanted to promote this cooperation very much, but Zhang Qianxiu was contracted for a piece of land for such a long time, and he could not make the decision alone, he had to apply for it.

Zhang Qianxiu was not too happy when he heard Shi Chengwang promised to help apply. After all, it is not certain whether it can be approved.

Shi Chengwang asked, "Boss Zhang, is there any problem then?"

Zhang Qianxiu said: "Old Shi, there is another problem. We should repair the river course in the mountain section by ourselves. But in each village, let them repair it by themselves. The river course is basically used for digging on the ground and using stone. It’s not too expensive to build a river embankment."

"What materials are needed, we can also provide them."

"At that time, all the villages will start construction at the same time, the river will be completed as soon as possible, and water will be available as soon as possible, right?"

Shi Chengwang knew immediately that Zhang Qianxiu wanted to save costs.

But Zhang Qianxiu was right. As long as the government doesn't pay, they don't really care who will build it, as long as it is built.

Shi Chengwang thought the same way. With regard to these issues, he was willing to give Zhang Qianxiu more benefits. Anyway, it was for the villagers to build it themselves, and the villagers themselves benefited from the completion of the river course.

Shi Chengwang said: "Yes, but I still have to discuss this with the leaders of the city, and then let the leaders of their county and town mobilize."

The general issues are almost the same. For the remaining minor issues, Shi Chengwang is willing to give a part of the concession as long as it is not for the government to pay the money.

Just when the talk was about to be finished, Su Yuwei suddenly said: "Lao Shi, can this tax, to a certain extent, give us some relief?"

As soon as Su Yuwei said this, Zhang Qianxiu also reacted. He actually forgot this big head.

Shi Chengwang smiled bitterly: "Miss Su, this is a matter for the taxation department. I am in charge of agriculture. I can't make a decision!"

What Shi Chengwang was telling was the truth. Zhang Qianxiu's contracting of this wasteland involved many departments. Shi Chengwang could only decide the piece of land he was in charge of, such as land and taxes. He couldn't make a decision.

Zhang Qianxiu said: "Lao Shi, we don't have any problems with other aspects. Now it's about taxation and contract period. Or you can fix a time and we will talk directly with people in relevant departments."

"At that time, Mr. Shi, you will also help to say a few more good things."

Shi Chengwang thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, but it's unlikely that the agricultural tax will be exempted, but it shouldn't be a big problem that it can be reduced or exempted."

"We can understand this." Zhang Qianxiu didn't expect to be free. If he could reduce or exempt, it would be equivalent to earning more.
