Chapter 242: Frosted and Wilted
Far Eastern Primorsky Krai, Khinkae Lake Plain.
At the farm developed by Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd., Akio Ota was inspecting the soybean fields after planting and listening to the reports of his subordinates.
His farm is already smaller than that of Kagoku, and with state-of-the-art sowing machinery, he was able to sow soybeans earlier than Kagoku.
At this time, in the soybean field, the soybean seeds have sprouted. As far as the eye can see, rows of dense green seedlings seem to grow a "green hair" on the earth.
But Akio Ota's attention was obviously not on the soybean field, and after listening to his subordinates' reports, he frowned and said, "Kaya didn't even increase the purchase of fertilizers?"
"Yes, after Mr. Vasily personally went to negotiate with Qi Dong of Jiagu, Jiagu still maintained the original amount of fertilizer. The subordinate bowed his head slightly.
Ota Akio muttered to himself: "No, our fertilizer usage has been scientifically proportioned, no matter how Jiagu optimizes, there can't be too big a gap, what is Qi Dong thinking?"
The subordinates on the side did not dare to answer, pursed their lips and maintained a listening posture.
Akio Ota walked forward unconsciously, wondering what Kaya's unusual move meant.
If you want to say that Qi Zheng doesn't know how to plant soybeans and commands indiscriminately, Akio Ota doesn't believe it either. Jiagu has its own soybean planting base in the northeast, how can it be blind in the Far East, which is just across the river?
"Has Kaya finished planting soybeans?" asked Akio Ota, turning his head as he paused.
His subordinate hurriedly replied: "I just got the news, and all the planting has been completed." ”
Akio Ota asked, "Did they go back with the farming convoy they sent from Japan?"
The subordinate thought about it for a moment before replying, "Probably not, I haven't received relevant information yet." ”
Akio Ota smiled: "It can't be what I thought, right?"
Thinking about it, Akio Ota thinks that Katani's reduction in the use of chemical fertilizers is most likely to reduce costs. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net
The conditions of cooperation between the two and Vasily are about the same, and who still doesn't know who?
Under the condition that the acquisition agreement was accompanied by the market, the Vasily side contributed only land investment, and the means of production to specific operations were invested by Kaya and Marubeni Trading Company.
In this case, it is their common goal to reduce their own cost input on the premise of ensuring output.
In Ota's view, unlike Marubeni Trading's operation of reducing costs by improving efficiency, Kaya is clearly directly reducing the amount of money invested.
It is clear that Kaya is not as good as Marubeni Trading Company in terms of management interest rates and production efficiency. Although the rental cost may be lower than that of Marubeni, the stay time is also longer, the management is more difficult, and the materials spent are more.
Ota Akio was a little proud, it seemed that Qi Zheng was still affected by his previous words, and he couldn't compare to Marubeni in terms of efficiency, so he put his mind into it.
Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd. estimated the cost of growing soybeans in the Far East, and if the land was discounted according to the proportion of capital contribution, labor, machinery, and land rent would account for half of the cost, while the cost of chemical fertilizers and pesticides would account for one-third of the cost.
In particular, Lao Maozi refused to allow the import of chemical fertilizers, even after the discount, the fertilizer provided to the two families was still higher than their own purchases, so it is no wonder that Jiagu will directly cut the input of fertilizer.
As for the output, Akio Ota felt that he had figured out the context of Qi Zheng's thoughts.
"I really have to thank the fertile black soil of the Far East. He looked down at the swarthy ground under his feet and sighed.
The adaptability of soybeans is relatively strong, and the requirements for soil are not large, and most of the soil can grow normally.
However, if you want to grow high-quality and high-yield soybeans, you still need to choose a deep and soft soil with normal drainage and irrigation, rich humus, strong water and fertilizer retention.
It just so happens that the black soil layer where these two farms are located has such conditions.
"Jiagu relies on such fertile land to dare to cut the input of chemical fertilizer. Akio Ota Tomo-joo is holding the road.
Then he laughed mockingly: "The Chinese just like to use land resources excessively and even predatorily in this way. It is significantly more beneficial for Russia to cooperate with us. After all, we island people cherish the land the most, and we will never do such things that hurt the land. ”
In a preliminary survey of the investment environment in the Far East, Marubeni Trading Company found that some tenants in neighboring countries in the Far East were extremely eager for quick success and quick profits in land development.
They use chemical additives to grow crops, and in flagrant violation of Russian rules on the use of agricultural land, using insecticides and toxic chemicals prohibited by Russian law, which leads to the transfer of fertile soil layers and environmental harm, all of which are evidenced by the documents of the Russian agricultural products supervision department.
Akio Ota just didn't expect that a big company like Katani would be so short-sighted. He felt that the president's evaluation of Qi Zheng was really too high.
"Jiagu is killing himself, even if the cost is reduced in this way, do you really think that Vasily and the others can't see their exploitation of the land? Alas, Qi Dong is even easier to deal with than I imagined!" Ota Akio said as if disappointed.
The subordinates on the side slapped their ass wildly and praised their wisdom.
The corners of Akio Ota's mouth curled slightly, and he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, you concentrate on field management, we have to work hard to completely suppress Jiagu......"
Akio Ota, who was in a good mood, stayed on the farm that night.
The next morning, before he could wake up, there was a sharp knock on the door.
Akio Ota got up in a daze and opened the door, and suddenly shivered.
He came to his senses completely, and hurriedly let his subordinates at the door in and quickly closed the door.
"What's the situation?" Akio Ota looked solemn.
His subordinate looked depressed: "Last night, the temperature plummeted......! Frozen and withered on a large scale!"
Akio Ota, who was almost frozen: "......"
When he put on his clothes and walked into the farmland, his eyes were red.
The frostbite of soybean seedlings is already light, and when you look around, the young leaves are frozen and fall off, and the seedlings that have frozen to death can be seen everywhere.
The earth, which was still vibrant yesterday, seems to be ravaged ~ today, and the soybean seedlings arranged neatly are crooked and miserable.
Akio Ota's mouth trembled.
In terms of temperature, soybeans are a temperature-loving crop. After growth, the temperature shall not be lower than 6 degrees, and the seeds will gradually germinate; about 11 degrees is the most suitable germination temperature for seeds, and the cold resistance of soybean seedlings is related to their growth, and the temperature should not be lower than zero degrees.
Now the temperature has definitely dropped below freezing, and the most embarrassing thing is that the temperature has dropped so suddenly that there is no time to arrange precautionary measures.
Now it seems that the low temperature weather is not a problem that affects the soybean yield, it is simply the rhythm of the extinction.
"Baga, what are you all eating? Xingkai Lake is thawed, how can there be such a serious frost? Has no one paid attention to the weather forecast......" Akio Ota was furious, and angrily sprayed at his subordinates.
The subordinate did not dare to squeak, bowed his head and let him vent his anger.
After Akio Ota sprayed his subordinates with blood, he calmed down a little, he took a deep breath, and ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and see if there is a remedy?"
When his subordinate turned around and was about to leave, he stopped and said, "Wait!"
Akio Ota's eyes flickered and said, "You go to determine the scope of this frost first, mainly to see...... Has the farm in Jiagu been affected?"
