My Courtyard Refuge

Plant Factory

At 11:30, Dad Xu and Ma Jun came to the guest house of Seven Star Xia Chuang Electronics according to the agreed time.

With the increasingly tense food problem, almost 90% of the restaurants on the market have collapsed, and the rest of them are still operating, more or less have official backgrounds.

Similar guest houses are very common these days. They are generally attached to giant companies and serve exclusively for their companies or institutions.

Director Yuan of Seven Star Xia Chuang looked very young, only in his thirties, but he was very humble. After receiving the call, he personally went to the door to greet Father Xu and his father.

“President Xu, Manager Ma, please come inside.”

“Director Yuan, you are too polite.” Father Xu was flattered.

When he came to the private room, Director Yuan arranged for the waiter to serve the food.

In order to reflect the saving spirit of the superiors, it is not possible to order dishes in the guest house.

“The higher-ups are strict, you can’t drink alcohol, please forgive me.” Director Yuan apologized.

Dad Xu waved his hand: “It’s better not to drink, everyone has to work in the afternoon, so drinking is a waste of time.”

===Section 67===

After a few pleasantries, the food was served.

There are a total of four dishes and one soup, one and a half meat with garlic and yellow shredded pork, and the other three are copied vegetables. The soup is seaweed egg soup, and the portions are quite sufficient.

The three of them substituted tea for wine, drank each other for several rounds, and finally got down to business.

Supervisor Yuan put down his chopsticks and said solemnly:

“Mr. Xu, our company recently received a big order from the city, and there is a lot of demand for electronic components.

If it depends on production, it must be too late, so I want to purchase a batch of second-hand electronic components from your company. ”

Another important reason is that many electronic components in Daxia are highly dependent on imports. Under the current circumstances, counting on imports is tantamount to fishing for moons in water.

Dad Xu didn’t speak in a hurry, but Ma Jun interrupted and said:

“Director Yuan, may I ask, how do you know about our company? After all, a small company like ours doesn’t have much reputation at all.”

“It’s simple, I found out about your company from Boss Yao in Xinke Computer City.

Don’t underestimate yourselves, both of you. Although your company is small, your shipments are not small at all! “Supervisor Yuan replied.

“Director Yuan, you’ve given too much credit. We’re just playing tricks at best.” Father Xu said modestly.

Director Yuan took a sip of tea, and cut to the chase: “Mr. Xu, let’s open the skylight and speak clearly. What do you mean by this? Are you willing to cooperate with our company?”

“Of course we are willing to cooperate.” Dad Xu quickly expressed his opinion.

Ma Jun immediately asked: “I don’t know what electronic components your company needs?”

“Everything, no matter how much you have, our company can eat it.” Director Yuan said domineeringly.

Dad Xu couldn’t help being shocked. It really is a big company, and it is extraordinary when it makes a move.

“What about the price?” Ma Jun remained calm.

Supervisor Yuan calmly took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Dad Xu.

Dad Xu took it and looked at it roughly, his face immediately became serious, and then handed the document to Ma Jun.

Ma Jun almost jumped up after seeing it: “Director Yuan, isn’t your price too low?”

If the price given by the other party is followed, then their company is basically worthless, which is too bullying.

“Our company is willing to sign a long-term contract, and there is no limit.” Director Yuan drew a big cake.

Father Xu shook his head and said, “Director Yuan, this price is really not good. You guys eat meat, so at least let us have some soup!”

“The price is set by the above, and I have no right to change it, but you can think of ways to reduce the cost as much as possible. After all, we need a large quantity, and there is still a lot of room for manipulation.”

Director Yuan has always refused to give in.

Father Xu and Ma Jun discussed it privately, but they still couldn’t make up their minds.

Ma Jun thought for a while and asked again: “Director Yuan, you said earlier that your company received a big order from the city. May I ask what the order is?”

“It’s okay to tell you this. The city is building a group of plant factories in the eastern suburbs, with a total area of ​​100,000 mu. All the electronic equipment inside will be provided by our company.”

“What does this plant factory produce?” Dad Xu had heard of this kind of factory for the first time.

Director Yuan specially introduced: “The so-called plant factory is to move the farm indoors. After all, the current climate is dry and lacks water, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Outdoors are no longer suitable for growing crops.”

“Isn’t that just a vegetable greenhouse?” Dad Xu suddenly realized.

Director Yuan nodded:

“It should be said to be an upgraded version of the vegetable greenhouse.

The plant factory uses artificial light sources and soilless cultivation technology. The production process is all controlled by computer intelligence, which is much more advanced than vegetable greenhouses. ”

“Is farming so advanced now?” Father Xu asked in surprise.

I have always heard that agriculture on the other side of the ocean is very developed, but I didn’t expect that the country would not give in too much!

“Advanced is very advanced, but its disadvantages are also great. Its planting cost is too high. If it is not forced by the situation, it may take many years to spread.” Director Yuan sighed.

Ma Jun tentatively asked, “This project shouldn’t be small, right?”

“It’s not small. The plant factory is only 100,000 mu, but it has a multi-layer structure inside, and the planting density is high. It can grow at least one million mu of crops.

Think about it, how many electronic devices are needed for such a large area? ”

Ma Jun swallowed unconsciously.

It is indeed a big project. One million mu is equivalent to more than 600 square kilometers, which is only a little smaller than the area within the fifth ring road of the capital.

“Director Yuan, when will the 100,000 mu project be completed?” Dad Xu asked.

The project is of great value, and if time is tight, with the size of our company, we can’t grab many orders.

As for signing a long-term contract, just listen to it. They are a big company. If necessary, they can find a hundred reasons to break the contract.

“The entire project will last for 18 months. The construction started in June this year, and it will probably not be completed until the end of next year.”

After thinking about it, Director Yuan added:

“Don’t worry, there are many similar projects in other cities, and our company has no shortage of orders for at least two or three years.”

Dad Xu’s heart was finally moved. This is a blue ocean, and anyone who sees it will be overwhelmed.

“I have brought all the contracts. If you sign the contract today, you can ship to our company tomorrow.” Director Yuan tempted.

Father Xu took over the contract and looked through it. The contract was for three years, not as exaggerated as the other party said, but the content was similar to what the other party said.

Without Ma Jun’s reminder, Dad Xu consciously put down his plan to sign the contract immediately: “Director Yuan, this is a big matter, we need to go back and discuss it.”

“No problem, but I hope you can reply me as soon as possible. Our company has other procurement channels. If the order is full, then I can only say sorry.”
