Qi Zheng previously told Vasily that there will be a big grain bull market in the next two years, and the price of soybeans will emerge at the end of this year.

Vasily has been skeptical, because international soybean prices are generally running at a low level, and there was a slight decline in the middle of the year.

By the end of October, soybean prices had risen unusually sharply, and the price of Chicago soybean futures in the United States had risen to $250 per tonne, an average increase of 11 from the previous month.

Only then did Vasily admire Qi Zheng's judgment.

According to Jiagu's estimates, the farm's soybean output this year will reach nearly 2 million tons, which is nearly $500 million in income if it goes to the market.

Vasily, who owns more than 60% of the farm's shares with the investment in the land, can get a share of about 300 million US dollars, which is not a huge return.

Vasily and his partners did the math, and they were all excited, eager to sing a song.

Of course, these three hundred million dollars are not Vasily their net earnings. Although they seem to have only invested in land, the import of Jiagu's fine seeds, the transit of agricultural machinery, and the reduction of agricultural taxes all require their attention to be taken care of.

In addition to this, Vasily also took care of the transportation of soybeans. After all, in the Far East, whether it is road transportation or railway transportation, it is basically monopolized in the hands of Vasily and other crony capitals - otherwise Qi Zheng would not agree to Vasily and others occupying sixty percent of the shares on land alone.

As a result, Vasily estimated that he would receive at least $20 million from the farm.

The visiting team was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Nowell also asked Qi Zheng with a smile: "Dong Qi, I heard that you judge that the price of soybeans will further increase?"

Qi Zheng, who also enjoyed a bumper harvest, said with a smile: "Yes, and the current market situation is verifying my judgment." Seeing that the great grain bull market is coming, Mr. Nowell, if you invest more land, you will reap more abundant returns. Look at 'Mao, Chinese, Net'

Nowell was thoughtful.

"Mr. Nowell, I think Qi Dong's judgment is nothing more than gambling!" suddenly a voice came out.

Qi Zheng glanced at him obliquely, heh, it turned out to be an old acquaintance - Akio Ota of Marubeni Trading Company.

On this trip, Akio Ota was also cheeky and followed the team to visit the harvest of Kaya Farm.

Marubeni's farms in the Far East were hit by two "natural disasters" that prevented them from planting soybeans and wheat, and ended up planting potatoes, vegetables, and melons.

The Far East's consumer market is limited, and it can only be transported back to China, coupled with huge labor costs...... It can be said that the Marubeni Trading Company basically lost more than it gained in the Far East this year, and correspondingly, Vasily and others were able to obtain extremely limited profits.

Akio Ota looked at the bumper harvest at Kaya Farm, and naturally his eyes were red. At this time, I heard the conversation between Qi Zheng and Nowell, and I was afraid that Nowell would be gullible, so I couldn't help but stand up and refute it.

Of course, Akio Ota also knew the energy of this group of visiting teams in the Far East, and even more knew that they would increase their investment according to this year's profits, and they were unwilling to give up the Marubeni Trading Company in the Far East Agricultural Market, and of course they were not willing to let Kaya Shomei come forward, and he came here to prevent this from happening.

Akio Ota stood up and said to Nowell: "Mr. Nowell, judging from the current international supply and demand of soybeans, the supply of soybeans is actually sufficient, and the current rise in soybean prices is actually a large speculation of speculative funds, and the price has significantly deviated from the true value of soybeans." With the withdrawal of speculative funds in the later stage, soybean prices will weaken. Qi Dong's judgment is to lure you to increase investment. ”

Qi Zheng was in a good mood and didn't care about Akio Ota's rebuttal: "Of course, there are speculative factors, but whether it is from the perspective of long-term international supply and demand risks or rising freight rates caused by rising oil prices, there is no doubt that soybean prices will maintain an upward momentum." ”

"What's more......" Qi Zheng didn't wait for Akio Ota to answer, and continued: "In fact, no matter whether the price of soybeans rises or falls, as long as soybean production ensures the output, for Mr. Nowell, they will make money after all, but it is just a matter of earning more and earning less." ”

The old Maozi and the others, who were listening very seriously, nodded slightly, agreeing with Qi Zheng's statement. After all, they don't need to invest real money, as long as there is a gain, there is a theoretical earning.

Akio Ota was choked by Qi Zheng's intentions, isn't this an irony for the fate of Marubeni Trading Company's planting of soybean grains without harvesting?

Akio Ota knew that he could not please on this topic, so he turned to Vasily and Nowell and said: "For those who are engaged in agriculture, natural disasters are always inevitable. But what is more important is the level of agricultural production technology and management. We at Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd. have agricultural cooperation projects all over the world, and we have rich experience in cross-border cooperation and win-win cooperation. ”

"On the other hand, Chinese investors in the Far East, in order to reduce costs and increase production, have less compliance with Russia's agricultural safety requirements, and their 'Chinese-style' production and investment methods, without the need for locals, have no more benefits for the Russian side except for renting land resources. ”

Qi Zheng knew that Ota Akio was alluding to the low investment in production materials such as fertilizers for the soybean planting at Katagu Farm, which was suspected of consuming land resources.

In response to this accusation, Qi Zheng only pointed to the soybean fields after harvesting.

In the wilderness, harvesters drive quickly through the bean fields, and the bean stalks are broken and "spit back" the ground. With a flail on the harvester, the bean stalks are cut into a few centimeters long and thrown directly on the ground – not only to prevent the straw from being too broken and causing entanglement in the agricultural machinery for sowing the following spring, but also to increase the soil organic matter content to fertilize the farmland.

In addition, "30 employees on the farm are locals, and after the run-in, all employees have accepted the Chinese working model, the workload has increased, and the income has also increased by two or three times." ”

The attitude of the Russian side to the work is different from that of the Chinese side. For example, Russian employees insist on commuting to and from work on time and have to rest on weekends, but in the process of agricultural production, critical nodes such as spring sowing and autumn harvest need to race against time, which is completely different from the pace of factory work. In addition to repeatedly popularizing the nature of agricultural production to employees, Jiagu Farm has greatly increased the wages and benefits of employees, and set up full attendance awards.

Although Vasily and Nowell and others do not care much about the lives and deaths of their lower-class compatriots, it is undoubtedly a plus if investors treat their compatriots well.

Kagu is not a small investment and retail investor who "goes out" in China, and Akio Ota has no role in belittling Kagu in this regard.

Regarding Akio Ota's aggressiveness, Qi Zheng said disdainfully: "To be honest, natural disasters are the issues that should be focused on in agriculture. I can't overcome even a small disaster, and I doubt how advanced Marubeni's so-called production technology and management level is.

The heavy losses on the farm developed by Marubeni Trading Company in the "natural disaster" were a stain, and the contrast was so strong that Akio Ota's face turned red when he heard this.

Qi Zheng ignored Akio Ota, who was so stunned that he had nothing to say, turned his head to Nowell and the others and said: "Mr. Nowell, you have also seen that it took us less than a year to bring tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in rich benefits to Mr. Vasily and others. The facts are there, land work is also very lucrative, the key is to choose a reliable partner. ”

When Nowell heard about the hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits, he already showed his inclination: "If we provide more land cooperation, how can we cooperate?"

Qi Zheng smiled and said sincerely: "The specific division of shares depends on the amount of land you provide, of course, it is certain that you will at least maintain more than 51 shares." ”

In order to avoid policy risks, it was planned for the Far East partners to maintain a nominal controlling stake. But the subsequent cooperation will not be like giving up more than sixty percent of the shares like this farm - just buy horse bones once.

Although Jiagu only occupies more than 30% of the shares, it actually does not lose money: the seeds are cultivated by themselves, and the means of production such as fertilizers are not used much because of the wanton plundering of the spirit array, and the biggest cost is the cost of machinery leasing.

Therefore, Jiagu agriculture can also get a profit from producing soybeans from the resources of the Far East, Jiagu grain and oil can get high-quality and high-fat soybeans at low prices - at least compared with Brazilian soybeans and American soybeans, the freight can be greatly saved, and most importantly, with the expansion of the cooperative planting area in the Far East, the supply of soybeans controlled by Jiagu has been effectively guaranteed.
