Chapter 43: The Farmland Company with Strong Capital

After completing the agricultural planning, Xia Jun immediately invested in the construction of a high-yield cotton cultivation base, and the output of grade 4 high-yield cotton can reach 350~700 kg.

Among them, the yield of irrigation is between 350~500 kg, and if drip irrigation technology is used, coupled with climate adaptation, the yield can reach 600~700 kg.

This is definitely a crazy yield, this year's cotton is generally only 150 kilograms per mu, some can reach 200 kilograms, one acre of land can be used as two acres of land.

Then Xia Jun invested in the construction of a high-yield soybean cultivation base, the yield of grade 4 high-yield soybeans can reach between 180~250 kg per mu, and the soybean yield per mu of the Yankees in later generations is about the same, and the general yield of soybeans in this era is only 100 kg per mu.

With the exception of one wheat, most of the other major crops have been exchanged, but there are many that are not so major.

In terms of price, the level 4 cultivation base only needs 1 million points, which is completely acceptable to Xia Jun, so he has invested in the construction of high-yield cultivation bases for wheat, glutinous rice, sorghum, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, sesame seeds, and rape.

Agriculture is more than just these things, Xia Jun has to consider the farmers and landowners in the mountains, so he needs to get them some high-quality fruit varieties.

So Xia Jun invested in seedless watermelon, bayberry, grapes, melons, lychees, loquats, tangerines, citrus, grapefruits, pears and other more than a dozen kinds of fruits that can be grown in the three provinces of East China.

In addition, the number of meat and egg dual-purpose chickens has been insufficient, 1 billion chickens, it sounds quite a lot, in fact, a dispersed to the countryside, this 1 billion is simply not enough, on average, on the population of 54 million in the three provinces of East China, per capita is less than 20, his KFC is a large consumer of chicken, broilers are for external consumption, and meat and egg dual-purpose chickens are for internal consumption.

Therefore, Xia Jun must build another egg-meat double-crowded breeding base, so that the number of breeding can be increased to 2 billion, and Xia Jun suspects that KFC will not have enough chicken after opening a large number of overseas branches, so he has expanded the broiler breeding base, which is also to cultivate 2 billion broilers per year.

In less than half an hour, Xia Jun built twenty-three cultivation bases, all of which were built in Jian'an, where there was a group of cultivation bases.

With these bases, China's agriculture will be able to dominate the world in the future, and if the gringos do not resist with tariffs, their agriculture will be destroyed.

It is not enough to have these cultivation bases, there must also be a large number of agricultural machinery, and most of these agricultural machinery can only be exchanged at present.

In terms of tractors, the current demand has reached more than 1 million units.

At this time, Xia Jun had passed the point where he urgently needed to buy people's hearts, so the tractor was not provided to the local self-government council for free.

He provided only a few tractors to the local self-government councils, which were specially designed to help transport poor households. However, tractors are indispensable, so Xia Jun decided to provide tractors to the local government in the form of loans.

At the same time, he did not completely redeem the tractor, but exchanged the diesel engine from the exchange platform, a 50-horsepower diesel engine only needs 10 points, and the cost is cut in half.

After exchanging the diesel engine, the tractor is easy to produce, and those parts have no technical surnames, that is, rubber, steel, generators and lights, basically there are no technical surnames, anyway, it is not yet the summer harvest, and there is still time to make tractors.

After the tractor is manufactured, the tractor is directly sold in the form of interest-free loans, and if those landowners mainly operate the land independently, the tractor is naturally indispensable. And the tractor is not too expensive, a tractor only costs 50 yuan, in this loan mode, homesteaders can buy, in addition to the driver can also be a driver to transport goods to make money, the return is still very fast. The tractors originally issued in Fujian will also be sold.

For this reason, Xia Jun exchanged 500,000 diesel engines, and only spent 5 million points. Xia Jun originally had 150 million points left in his hand, but after squandering it, there was still 120 million left.

Then Xia Jun continued to invest 50 million points to expand the agricultural machinery factory, and the expanded agricultural machinery factory can produce seeders, rice transplanters, and harvesters, both of which are relatively simple levels, probably in the 50s, and are small and medium-sized.

At present, it is not possible to give the landlords and the farming companies too advanced machinery, because that would make the peasants unemployed, and there are not so many jobs in the cities for the time being.

With fertilizers, agricultural machinery, high-yielding crops and tractors, agriculture is basically fine.

Soon, after Zhu Chengjia and Yang Mingliu discussed, they submitted a report to Xia Jun on the amount of taxes to the landlords.

Yang Mingliu reflected that at present, the landlords and peasants have not yet fully mastered the advanced production technology, so the agricultural tax should not be set too high, and the method of first low and then high can be adopted to increase it year by year.

Therefore, for the sake of stability, Zhu Chengjia suggested that the agricultural tax should be capped at 5% in mountainous areas and 10% in plains.

Xia Jun approved the report directly after reading it, and at the same time asked the Ministry of Agriculture to maintain communication with the Ministry of Taxation, and give tax exemption when the land operator is affected by disasters or the market is bad.

…… After the announcement of the agricultural tax quota, the landlords of the three provinces of East China Autonomous Province were relieved that this tax was indeed not high, and it was not as high as the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Those agricultural reclamation companies also followed suit, and organized a group with Lin Debao to go to Jiangsu to enclose land.

Lin Debao went to Jiangsu this time, accompanied by four agricultural reclamation companies, these agricultural reclamation companies have obtained business licenses, they got the news, they know that it is profitable to go to Jiangsu enclosure to grow cotton, so naturally they followed Lin Debao.

The capital of the five agricultural reclamation companies is large and small, the largest is the "Huasheng Agricultural Reclamation Company", with a capital of 40 million yuan, followed by Li Shilin's "Zhongsheng Agricultural Reclamation Company", with a capital of 20 million yuan, Li Shilin and Liu Jinshan's competition has evolved a little fiercely, the two have deep grievances on tea and textiles, and he is not far behind when he sees Liu Jinshan's investment in the agricultural reclamation company. The smallest 'Fengye Agricultural Reclamation Company' also has a capital of 2 million yuan.

Nowadays, it is relatively easy to raise shares in the three provinces of East China's autonomy, and under the policy of East China's autonomous government, private capital is full of confidence in running industries.

As long as the project is good, people will compete for shares.

If it is said that it is a little famous, then it is easier to raise shares, such as Liu Jinshan, who hugged the thigh of the East China Autonomous Political Axe and developed, and Xia Jun's father-in-law Li Shilin, as soon as they said what factory they wanted to set up and ask for money, they immediately rushed to come up with funds to buy shares.

Liu Jinshan represents a Huizhou businessman with a very strong capital, and there are many Huizhou businessmen behind him who support him in setting up a farming company, and at the same time, many Huizhou businessmen have come to the three provinces of East China Autonomous Region to do business.

Li Shilin represents Fujian businessmen, who are obviously much inferior to Liu Jinshan in terms of capital, but in terms of personal capital, Li Shilin made him earn more money than Liu Jinshan because of his previous appetite.

At the same time, both of them are going in the direction of a butt of debt, in addition to making money to invest in industry, but also a large amount of borrowing, in addition to borrowing from private capital, but also borrowing from the Bank of East China.

Gradually formed 'Zhongsheng' and 'Huasheng' two major groups.

Because Li Shilin is Xia Jun's father-in-law, and his son is presiding over East China Bank, it is impossible for Li Shijing and Li Shengguo to say that they will not help.

Therefore, Li Shilin's 'Zhongsheng' under the guidance of Li Shijing and Li Shengguo, two children who have studied abroad, adopts a very advanced management model, in this regard, Li Shijing will often select some students with excellent grades in the Industrial and Commercial College to go to Zhongsheng for internships, and the technology is provided by the son-in-law, and at the same time, the capital is approved by the son, and there is no need to worry.

However, Li Shijing and Li Shengguo, the two sisters and brothers, are very considerate of Xia Jun, after all, as the head of state, he can't take care of his own people too much, so Li Shengguo basically does not approve the mortgage of those non-performing assets, but under the triple integration of management, technology and capital, Zhongsheng Group has very few non-performing assets.

Liu Jinshan's 'Huasheng Group' in the management is a heavy investment to the business school to poach people, the management model is basically the same as Zhongsheng, and there is also the support of Xia Jun in technology, Xia Jun has never favored anyone in technology, after all, Zhongsheng and Huasheng have become his two important thugs, and they are the left and right protectors of East China Group to enter the international market.

The capital of 'Huasheng Group' has the support of Hui businessmen, and the Bank of East China has also approved money for them, so it is necessary to stabilize Zhongsheng Group in terms of capital.

In addition to these two groups, the Longyou Merchant Gang in Zhejiang and the Ningbo Merchant Gang in Shanghai are the new forces joining the trend of setting up industries.

Although the strength of these two major merchant gangs is not as strong as that of Hui merchants, they should not be underestimated in terms of capital.

Whether it is the Longyou Merchant Gang or the Ningbo Merchant Gang, they have quickly discovered a new world, an empty and hopeful new world on the territory of East China's autonomous political axe.

On the surface, the market is occupied by foreigners, but after the East China Autonomous Political Axe came to power, many successful cases of Huizhou and Fujian merchants proved that the market of foreigners was unstable, and even broke like a layer of paper.

Now that the East China Autonomous Government has withdrawn the tariffs, it is even more powerful.

Without foreigners, this is an empty world, full of empty fields waiting for them to occupy. With the support of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, as long as the management is in place, there is basically no possibility of loss.

One of the most popular investment industries is agriculture, as well as related agricultural processing and aquaculture.

This time, the group went to Jiangsu to enclose, including the capital of the Longyou Merchant Gang and the Ningbo Merchant Gang, whose combined capital was 60 million yuan.

Soon, Lin Debao and his team encircled tens of millions of acres of dry land in Nantong and other places in Jiangsu, and because the conditions given by these agricultural reclamation companies were very generous, both landlords and farmers were relatively satisfied.

When the five farming companies faced the landlords, they gave the same rent as they rented to the tenant farmers, so the landlords did not object.

When dealing with tenant farmers, the five reclamation companies promised to hire them to work on the farms for no less than $2 per month and for eight hours of work. Even if there weren't so many people, they would have given them jobs elsewhere with that kind of treatment. Most of these cotton farmers are very poor, and they have to borrow usury from the landlords for farming, and then when the harvest comes, they pay off the usury, and so on, they are basically poor all year round.

As for those yeoman farmers, most of them also agreed to rent land, firstly, because the price was fair, and secondly, because they could get paid wages, and their income would be very stable.

Moreover, with the cooperation of Cheng Quande, the governor of Jiangsu, few resisted, and even if there were, they were quickly forced to obey under pressure from the authorities.

Zhang Jian, who founded Dasheng Yarn Factory in Nantong, sighed with admiration, such capital is really not something he can offend. Although his Dasheng Yarn Factory also has its own land for cotton cultivation, it is still not self-sufficient, and a large part of it has to be bought, and these five agricultural reclamation companies from the three autonomous provinces obviously cannot be offended.
