Chapter 128: Negotiation
Not long after, the convoy of the Harvest Merchant House arrived.
Led by a 7 Series BMW. It was followed by more than a dozen pickup trucks, which were full of people, and there were hundreds of them. At the back were six or seven large trucks loaded with farming machinery. The formation is huge, and it is coming.
At the entrance of the institute, the convoy stopped. The BMW car door opened, and a bald young man took the lead and walked down, it was Li Ba.
For today's negotiations, he deliberately changed his outfit. A white suit, lined with a black vest, and a string of thumb-thick gold necklaces around the neck, black and super masked, looks a little unusual.
Li Ba is still very satisfied with his dress. In his words, he has at least raised his qualifications by several notches.
Generous and small, the stone wind is small, and there are high-level executives of commercial banks such as Liang Jie, all of whom came. Surrounded by everyone, Li Ba walked towards Liang Shaoping.
"Turtle"
Han Xue saw him dressed as a nouveau riche, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Major Liang"
From afar, Li Ba began to greet him warmly. Liang Shaoping smiled slightly and led someone to greet him. The two sides met and warmly shook hands and greeted each other. Li Ba also specially hugged Wang Feng to express his affection.
After the greetings, Li Ba knew Liang Shaoping's character, and he didn't beat around the bush, pointed to the side of the convoy, and said: "Major Liang, brother, my people and horses are all in place, you give me a happy word, this land rent or not"
"Rent of course"
Liang Shaoping smiled slightly: "The agreement reached in advance, Liang will not go back, there will be no second one except for the commercial house that leases the thousands of acres of fertile land in this vicinity."
The other party's reply still made Li Ba very satisfied. Striking while the iron was hot, he gave him a look, and Xiao Fang immediately stepped forward and took out two drawn contracts.
"Since Major Liang is so happy, let's just sign the contract now, and the brothers should settle in as soon as possible and reclaim the wasteland."
"No hurry"
Liang Shaoping said with a faint smile on his face: "According to the prior agreement, Brother Li has done us a great favor and leased the land in the southern suburbs free of charge, which is no problem. However, there are still a lot of properties in this land that we have officially purchased, and I am afraid that it needs to be handed over clearly."
Here's the show
Li Ba took off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "No problem, you can report the number directly, my harvest firm will not lose half a child, and all of them will be paid."
Liang Shaoping nodded after hearing this, and turned his gaze to Han Xue. The latter immediately stood up, took out a document, and began to read: "This land has seventeen officially dug hot spring wells, rich in water resources, and each well is worth at least one million catties of grain stamps according to its strategic value. In addition, there is a small reservoir in the west, which is the only source of clean water in Xibu, and its strategic value is even greater."
"Stop"
Li Ba couldn't listen anymore. According to Han Xue, a few broken wells and a small pond have to ask for tens of millions of catties of food stamps. It's a deal that can't be done.
"Major Liang"
He looked at Liang Shaoping and dropped a sentence directly: "What are the conditions, you can say it." ”
I have known for a long time that it is not so easy for the authorities to rent this land to themselves. Li Ba had already been mentally prepared before he came, as long as the other party's conditions were not harsh, everything was negotiable.
"Refreshing"
Liang Shaoping likes Li Ba's straightforward personality very much. He didn't hide it, and directly issued the conditions: "This land is still leased to your harvest firm for free, but the official needs to charge fifty percent of the income."
"Impossible"
Li Ba flatly refused. However, he didn't say anything and agreed to give the official 10% of the benefits.
"One is too little"
Liang Shaoping shook his head. Propose at least 40%.
"Half of your officials don't contribute to people, it's already a lot"
"Thirty and a half brothers, you have to figure it out, the land is our official"
The two began to bargain and argue with reason. But at the same time, they all leave room for each other.
Eventually, they reached a compromise. Thousands of acres of wasteland were handed over to the Harvest Commercial Bank for reclamation free of charge, and the proceeds were deducted from all the work costs, and the official collected two and a half percent, and the rest belonged to the Harvest Commercial Bank.
"Han Da Beauty, it seems that you have a lot of research results with me recently."
Conditions to be met. Li Ba's eyes turned to Han Xue and said with a smile. He knew in his heart that the reason why Liang Shaoping proposed to expropriate the land harvest was absolutely inseparable from this woman.
Most likely, the woman deduced from her botanical garden test plot that she had cultivated a new grain species. Once thousands of acres of barren land are cultivated and planted with new grain seeds, the harvest will be huge. This is also the reason why Liang Shaoping tried his best to risk the reputation of ruining his promise, but also to strive for two and a half percent of the income.
Han Xue's face flushed, and there was no squeak.
"Also, Brother Li, you need a lot of manpower to reclaim this land" The income distribution negotiation does not mean that the conditions proposed by Liang Shaoping are over. At this moment, he looked at Li Ba with a smile on his face, and suddenly asked about manpower.
"Well, it takes a lot of people."
Li Ba's mind was spinning, deducing the intention of the other party's words, and then, unhurriedly, said: "But there is not much gap." After all, now that we pay attention to mechanical farming, it should be enough to recruit a few hundred people in the city."
"I want you to recruit 3,000"
Liang Shaoping stared at Li Ba and said slowly. This was his last condition, and he asked Li Ba to recruit 3,000 people from the refugee camps outside the city to cultivate the land and take care of the food rations for these refugees.
After Li Ba heard this, he was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "There are too many people for three thousand, and I can't afford to raise them." ”
Originally, even if Liang Shaoping did not mention this condition, Li Ba decided to recruit a thousand people from the refugee camp outside the city. Thousands of acres of barren land, one person per acre, with farming machinery, should be enough.
Now, Liang Shaoping has proposed to let his firm recruit 3,000 refugees to cultivate the land. It's not that Li Ba can't afford it, but he doesn't want to show his hole cards too early, so that the other party has a chance to make inch.
"The government can give subsidies of 30 pounds of grain per person per Chinese New Year's Eve, or reduce half of the land income"
Liang Shaoping may also feel that his requirements are a bit harsh, so he takes a back seat and is willing to give subsidies.
Just waiting for your words
Li Ba smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was silent, he thought about it, and said: "It's better to reduce the income, half percent is too little, reduce two percent." I can recruit 3,000 people from the camps, mainly women and children, and make sure that they live in peace and that they will no longer go hungry."
The official subsidy sounds very good at first glance, but Li Ba knows that it cannot be compared with the income obtained from his large-scale farming. What he has to do at the moment is to try to keep the official land revenue as low as possible, so that his own business can get the maximum profit.
"If the yield per mu of 1,000 acres of land is 800 catties, there will be at least 4 to 500 tons of grain output in one season."
Liang Shaoping calculated an account for Li Ba. Compared with the official subsidy for refugees, it is only forty or fifty tons per year. And the income extracted from Li Ba can reach this amount in one achievement. minus two percent of the income, he naturally refused.
Of course, Liang Shaoping didn't say anything. Li Ba has his own solution.
"I don't want to hide the truth, I have cultivated a new grain seed, but it is still in the experimental stage, who can guarantee that there will be a bumper harvest if I plant it" Li Ba said this, glanced at Han Xue inadvertently, and said: "If you are lucky, maybe the grain harvest can reach the yield of 800 catties per mu that Major Liang said." If I'm unlucky, I may not receive the grains at that time, and I will have to feed 3,000 people, which is a heavy burden. Have you ever calculated this account for our firm?"
His words are well founded. Even Han Xue was speechless to refute. After all, it takes a large-scale trial of new grains to know whether they are successful or not.
After hearing this, Liang Shaoping glanced at Han Xue. Han Xue nodded.
"Well, this land is leased to you free of charge, and your Harvest Merchant must recruit three thousand refugees. The official only takes one percent of the income," Liang Shaoping made a decision. This is his final bottom line.
"Deal"
Li Ba had a smile on his face.
The contract was signed quickly. The employees of Harvest Trading Company immediately began to get busy. Some drove to survey the surrounding terrain, while others unloaded farming machinery from trucks.
Li Ba and Liang Shaoping stood side by side.
"Major Liang, since you have refugees in mind, why don't you open a warehouse to release grain, so that they can all live a good life"
Li Ba asked lightly. As far as he knew, since the capture of Wujiang Town, the official grain stock has risen sharply, enough to feed all the survivors inside and outside the city for three or five years. However, refugees from outside the city are still the target of official abandonment, but the situation is slightly better, and the official will give a bowl of rice porridge at a fixed time every day to keep the old and weak women and children alive.
"Officials have official difficulties"
Liang Shaoping sighed lightly, his face was heavy, and he said slowly: "Before we find stable food resources, ten years of grain reserves, this is the consensus reached by all members of the management committee. In the last days, humanity is the greatest resource. I don't want to give up my own kind if I can, but sometimes I have to be ruthless. ”
Li Ba nodded. At this moment, he somewhat understood Liang Shaoping, and understood why the official turned away a large number of refugees from the city, all of which was for the sake of the continuation of human civilization.
Those who achieve great things sometimes have to be ruthless, sacrificing some people to fulfill another part of the people.
