Chapter 174: A Trillion Market

The ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Yuyin Agricultural Trade Group was not small, but at the same time, it was very obscure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The momentum is due to the large number of participants, not only the friends and business partners of the major directors of the board of directors of the agricultural trade group, but also a lot of media reporters.

The obscurity lies in the fact that the business project of the agricultural trade group has not been disclosed!

In fact, neither the media nor the business partners of the directors could understand how these capitalists had the whimsical idea to set up a farmer's trading company!

The news of the jade seal rice seeds, in fact, is still a mystery.

Except for a limited number of people who know, in this world, the vast majority of people don't know. Even if Lao Lei Shidong revealed the news of the jade seal rice seed at the beginning, it was nothing more.

Even those who know this news may not necessarily believe it. Or believe it, and don't feel anything else.

Concealing this news until the eve of the full listing was a strategy that Brian and others had long discussed.

How can I say that the listing of Yuyin rice seeds will inevitably touch the fundamental interests of some people -- especially the big farmers! Once this news is accurately exposed, then the listing of Yuyin rice seeds will definitely encounter obstacles in advance!

Of course, if the amount of rice seeds is sufficient, this obstacle will be much smaller, but unfortunately, the first batch of rice seeds that are fully marketed will certainly not be too many, and we can only selectively select some close farmers and sell them. So, what will they do if they are not close enough to get the Yuyin rice seeds?

In other words, once the news comes out too long in advance, there will be a lot of trouble in the period before the full listing. In order to put an end to all these troubles, this is the case.

Only after the Yuyin rice seeds are fully marketed, and then the results are achieved and become an established fact, will the agricultural trade group make a big fanfare and set off a jade seal frenzy!

From the arrival of the group headquarters in Los Angeles to the end of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Zhou Yu has been in the office, standing in front of the window, observing the progress of the ribbon-cutting ceremony through the window.

Three hours later, the ceremony was over.

The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and a knock was heard behind them.

"Zhou, conference room."

It was Brian's voice.

"Right now."

Zhou Yu turned around and walked out, and walked side by side with Brian to the conference room.

When they arrived at the bright conference room, the rest of the shareholders were already present.

But what made Zhou Yu frown slightly was that Lao Lei Shidong was also there!

He couldn't help but glance sideways at Brian.

Brian nodded at him, winking.

The two sat down in their seats, and Silva Morgan, the company's CEO, stepped forward.

"Guys, we should celebrate!"

His first words were inspiring.

"A bright future and a green Franklin are waiting for us, and we will make a lot of money and even go down in history."

"We invested too much for this day, but not enough. Next, we need to build a sales channel and establish a sales network as soon as possible, which is the top priority. ”

"And before that, I think, everyone hopes that any news about the Yuyin rice seed must be kept secret! The birth of any new thing will face the resistance of the interest groups represented by the old things. In order to weaken this obstacle, we should be careful. ”

Speaking of this, he deliberately glanced at Lei Shidong, who was expressionless.

As the group's chief executive, Morgan looks to the future and outlines the various strategies he will execute – primarily focused on building a sales network.

Very detailed, listened carefully, only one thought - there were no flaws.

"I think the most important thing people care about is pricing." Morgan finally said: "Yuyin rice is different from any previous crop. In the past, crops had only one function, and that was to prevent people from starving to death. And the jade seal rice is designed to make people evolve! This is fundamentally different. Therefore, cheapness is absolutely impossible, and we do not allow it! ”

"Especially in the early days, when rice varieties are still very cherished, the price must be extraordinary."

"A thousand dollars a pound! That's the bottom line! ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes - a thousand dollars and a pound, black enough! This price is hundreds of times that of ordinary rice seeds! And that's just the bottom line.

In other words, the cheapest price is 1,000 dollars a pound. When it comes to the full listing, I'm afraid it's more than that.

But even so, Zhou Yu feels that it is not excessive.

Yuyin Rice carries the banner of evolution, and for any kind of creature, evolution is the most important thing, and it is related to the essence of everything.

Moreover, Zhou Yu considered that because of the number of Yuyin rice seeds in the early stage, the planting area of the first batch or even the second batch will definitely not be too large.

In the early stage, it can even be used as a luxury!

As a farmer in the planting industry, he spends a thousand or more to buy Yuyin rice seeds. One acre requires about thirteen pounds of rice seeds, which is more than 13,000 US dollars in seeds, but 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms of rice can be harvested.

After the husk is removed, it is counted as 6,000 kilograms of rice. Sold at the price of luxury goods, a kilogram is even 50 US dollars - in fact, this price is not expensive, and many high-grade rice nowadays are not a few hundred US dollars a pound.

Of course, it can't be only 50 US dollars, but if you calculate it this way, 6,000 kilograms is also 300,000 US dollars. That is to say, one acre of land, the output value reaches 300,000 US dollars, deducting all costs, 200,000 yuan can definitely be earned.

Therefore, the reserve price of rice seeds for 1,000 US dollars is really not high.

After all, Yuyin rice is not a delicate variety, and it can be cultivated in the same way as the most common hybrid rice. Unlike some delicate breeds, which cannot be scaled up for one reason or another.

And Yuyin Rice, the target of the goal, is the whole world!

Of course, the price of rice seeds in the early stage must be expensive, there is no doubt about it. However, when Yuyin rice is gradually popularized and the world has a certain scale of cultivation, the price will definitely gradually decline and gradually adapt to the changes in the market.

But at that time, because the amount of rice seeds has risen, the sales volume has increased greatly, the price has decreased, and the profit will not only not decrease, but will increase!

These thoughts flashed in Zhou Yu's mind, and then he heard a director speak.

"I think a thousand is too low!"

He said eloquently: "In the early days, due to the limitation of the number of rice seeds, the higher the price, the better. I calculated that even if I sold it for 10,000 US dollars a pound, the grower would not lose money, but would make a lot of money! ”

"Not bad. The yield of one acre, according to the data given by Zhou, we know, can reach seven or eight thousand kilograms, and pure rice, both have six or seven thousand kilograms. Because of the limitation of the planting area in the early stage, it can become a luxury goods to sell, so the output of one acre can be sold for hundreds of thousands of US dollars. In addition, our rice seeds are not that kind of delicate thing, and there is no need to spend other thoughts, the planting cost is very low, and no matter how much money can be made. I don't even think that 10,000 US dollars a pound is not expensive! ”

The director's statement is similar to what Zhou Yu thought, and it seems that they have been carefully calculated.

Morgan bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "If 10,000 dollars a pound, then..." he smiled happily and said, "The first batch of rice seeds we got from Zhou's hands is more than 840 kilograms, that is, 1,850 pounds. This year, we worked overtime to take advantage of the warm climate along the coast of California to produce three seasons. For every thirteen pounds of seed, one acre can be planted, and the first batch of plantable area will be one hundred and forty-two acres. If we use the best method to cultivate, one acre is counted as 8,000 kilograms, and then the first season of seeds produced will be nearly 1,140,000 kilograms, or 2,500,000 pounds! If these 2.5 million pounds of seeds are used to continue to breed the second and third generations of rice seeds, then the next ..."

Chewing on Morgan's words, many people frowned slightly.

Little Rockefeller, who had not spoken, spoke: "If that's it, the first season will be available." If all the first harvest is used to continue cultivating rice seeds, the seeds harvested in the second season can reach billions of pounds, and the amount is too large, the price cannot be too high, and it is not in our interest. Billions of pounds of rice seeds, with an estimated planting area of more than 500 million acres -- the whole of the United States may not be able to eat so many rice seeds, and the pace is too fast to be good. ”

The rest of the people couldn't help but think so.

"At least in three years, the amount of rice seeds cannot increase too much. Based on the 2.5 million pounds cultivated in the first season, the amount of the next season will increase by up to 5%. After three years, see how it goes. ”

Zhou Yu heard their discussion, and pondered in his heart for a while before speaking, "How big is the total area of rice cultivation in the whole world?" ”

Everyone turned their attention to Zhou Yu.

Morgan, as the CEO, has long had a statistic: "Four trillion acres!" ”

Zhou Yu nodded slightly. That is, more than 1,600 billion hectares, 1.6 million hectares. This data is the same as what he found.

"Two and a half million pounds, sold at a price of 10,000 US dollars per pound, the total value is 25 billion US dollars, if it can be sold out every season, three seasons a year, then it is 75 billion. And according to the yield of 7,000 kilograms per acre, this batch of seeds can reach the yield of 1.4 billion kilograms, that is, about 3 billion pounds. The retail price per pound is not high, just a hundred dollars, this is a huge market of 300 billion, and if it is counted as three quarters a year, then it is 900 billion and nearly 100 trillion. I thought, how much can the market eat? ”

"Why not?"

Brian beside him laughed and said, "Don't look at the current world grain market, but Zhou, you must know that Yuyin rice is not an ordinary rice, it is a high-quality grain that helps human evolution!" I don't think anyone will refuse to eat even one meal of Yuyin rice once a month. Eat a meal in January, there are too many such people in the world. Of the six billion people, at least one billion can meet this standard. Not to mention people like us who can't live without it. 1.4 billion kilograms, what is it? On average, one billion people are less than 1.5 kilograms per person. You are a researcher of the results, and you know very well that Yuyin rice is similar to the cultivation method of hybrid rice in an ordinary environment, even if it produces three seasons a year, of which each season is four months apart, and each season is 1.4 billion kilograms, and in four months, it can definitely be sold completely, and even in short supply! According to our plan, the market will not be saturated within at least 10 billion kilograms. ”

"And, a trillion market? Zhou, you underestimate the jade seal rice too much. The retail market can reach at least two trillion yuan, and this is still the initial stage! You know, all of us directors here, hehe..."He smiled and glanced at everyone, "I should have bought the farm, right?" ”

Everyone laughed.

It seems that the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders! Zhou Yu understood. (To be continued.) )
