Chapter 491: Soybean’s Thoughts《Today’s 1st Update》
Wu Bing rarely does specific things now. He usually just goes together, and his subordinates will naturally arrange everything for him. He only needs to occasionally ask to know whether the whole thing is in line with his wishes.
Naturally, he didn't know which manufacturers in the country produced drainage equipment, but the companies under the entire Fan Investment Group could be said to be spread all over the country. As long as an order to consult was conveyed, someone would naturally take care of the matter, so there was no It didn't take long for the intelligence to be summarized. People at the headquarters immediately began to stockpile these equipment based on actual local needs, and then uniformly deployed and used them in some key flood control work areas.
Fan Heng's provincial government mentioned in a notice to local governments that if local governments encounter difficulties during flood control, they must not only report to the provincial government quickly, but also contact Fan Investment Group in a timely manner. If it is convenient, they can come forward to solve some of the difficulties, and the provincial government will foot the bill afterwards.
The weather was indeed as Fan Wubing had judged. After a week of heavy rain, it finally passed. People everywhere breathed a sigh of relief and took the time to solve the problem of waterlogging. After all, this was a thing that greatly affected agricultural production.
The situation this year is relatively better, because since last year, Jiangnan Province has begun dredging rivers and repairing water conservancy projects on a large scale. Farmland water conservancy facilities have been repaired to a large extent, and a lot of money has been invested. More importantly, This is because after the Jiangdi case, the whole province was in awe of Fan Heng and did not dare to be careless about this kind of thing. Therefore, although the waterlogging phenomenon was more serious due to heavy rains, it was also eliminated very quickly. quick.
But for Fan Wu, there is some bad news. Although the cotton harvested in Xinjiang and the northeastern part of the two lands he developed were sold to Jiangnan Woolen Mill, It's a win-win situation, but the soybeans grown in the Northeast are somewhat inappropriate because of the abundant rain this year.
Domestic soybeans were planted earlier in history. The five grains mentioned in the past were rice, wheat, millet and millet. Among them, they refer to beans. Youdao means planting melons and beans around Qingming. The main growth period of soybeans is during Between May and September, there are also heavy rains in the Northeast, which makes the sky full of water, which greatly affects the growth of beans.
The origin of soybeans, an annual leguminous plant, is unclear, but many botanists believe it evolved from the Ussuri soybeans native to China. In 1804, soybeans were introduced to the United States. By the 1950s, they had become an important crop in the southern and midwestern United States.
Soybeans are the most nutritious and easily digestible food among the leguminous plants. They are also the richest and cheapest source of protein. Because soybeans do not contain starch, they are very suitable for diabetic patients.
Today, the United States is the world's largest soybean producer, followed by Brazil and China. Modern processing technology has made the uses of soybeans more diverse. Soybean oil can be processed into margarine and margarine+,
It can also be made into ingredients for paints, adhesives, fertilizers, sizing agents, linoleum, pesticides, and fire extinguishing agents.
Soy flour is a high-egg substitute for meat. Can be made into a variety of foods. Includes baby food. Because soybeans have so many uses. It has high nutritional value and is widely cultivated. Facilitating exports has played an important role in alleviating world hunger.
Fan Wubing started experimenting with soybean seeds in Northeast China. In fact, in addition to seeing the prospects of soybean oil, I also want to process it in a deeper level. Rather than just selling them as raw materials. But it's a huge waste of resources.
but now. Not long after planting. This is what happened. The flood situation in Northeast China this year should also be very serious. Especially in many places in the northeastern plains there is basically no cover. When the flood comes, there is a vast ocean everywhere. It looks no different than on the sea. Forget about planting beans. Even if you plant corn, you won't see any movement.
Why. It seems that there is no suspense that soybean cultivation will be wiped out this year. Northeast China, the main base of soybean production, has become the hardest hit area. So the reduction in domestic soybean production is irreversible. Think of the situation where imports are bound to increase. Fan Wubing suddenly remembered. It seems that soybean futures can also be paid attention to. Put some money in and have some fun. It can be considered as a small supplement. After all, the price paid for flood prevention and fighting this year will be very high. It would also be good to make a little more money in overseas markets. Think of it as supplementing family income.
Follow this line of thinking for divergent thinking. Fan Wubing realized that there were still many things that could be done.
"Ha. As expected, opportunities to make money are everywhere. It just depends on whether you are willing to use your brain. Of course. Talent is also very important." Fan Wubing touched his forehead. He smiled inwardly.
After Lawrence Heimer left the provincial government, he immediately started calling back to China to contact the United States about ordering military tents, life jackets, and rubber assault boats. Although these items were in high demand, they were not considered sensitive materials. I am very curious as to why the Chinese would order this.
West, but since it does not involve military security issues, it is not a matter of who to sell it to, and it was quickly implemented.
As for the fact that Fan Wubing later entrusted Lawrence Heimer to purchase a large number of large-scale automated machinery and equipment for flood control, this attracted great attention from the Pentagon. After carefully comparing the list of this batch of equipment, they believed that the transfer of these equipment would not cause any harm to the public. After posing a threat to U.S. national security, they finally agreed reluctantly.
Originally, the Pentagon wanted to make things difficult, but due to his own interests, Lawrence Heimer used his family's connections in the upper echelons of the Pentagon to promote the operation of this large order, and this was considered a settlement.
Various large-scale automated machinery has begun to be loaded from the docks in the United States. It will arrive in Shanghai within a week, and then be transported to Jiangnan as soon as possible via Yangtze River shipping. It is estimated that it will be delivered for use in half a month.
But the problem arises again. This type of large-scale automated machinery is not used much in China. That is, some are in use in some large state-owned joint venture mines, so it is still very troublesome to find some professional drivers. Yes, after Fan Wubing raised this issue with his father Fan Heng, Fan Heng also felt a little hesitant.
But with the equipment, it was impossible to leave it idle. After Fan Heng made a few phone calls, he settled the matter. Several large coal mines expressed their willingness to help and sent a group of people to come over and study. and provide Jiangnan Province with emergency training for a group of personnel who can use these equipment.
"Anyway, you don't have to take a driver's license test. You also need to take theoretical classes. Just learning and practicing the operation can be used in half a month." People in the coal mine have used similar large-scale mechanized equipment, so These problems are not taken very seriously.
During this time, Fan Wubing told Shen Manhua, the person in charge of Northeast China, that a comprehensive reduction in production in the planting industry this year was inevitable, and told her not to worry about it, and instructed her to take advantage of this period to do a good job. Do some research on what remedial work should be done after the flood recedes?
However, after hearing Fan Wubing's instructions, Shen Manhua immediately said that although there were some floods on both sides of the Songhua River, the situation at the production base was still better.
"Isn't our place flooded?" Wu Bian was a little surprised.
"I have comprehensively checked the topography here before. Because you have always mentioned that there may be severe floods this year, we also considered this issue and took advantage of the terrain to dig a flood discharge ditch near the production base and also purchased some large-scale floods. The drainage device was originally just a precaution, but I didn't expect it to be used now," Shen Manhua replied with a smile.
"That's good!" Fan Wubing was very happy after hearing this, but he also said, "In the next two months, the flood situation will definitely recur or worsen. Since you are all prepared for this, , then we might as well do more in-depth work. Not only is the flood discharge ditch needed, but it is also best to build flood control walls around it. "
"We have already done this. The soil dug in the ditch is used to build the wall. This is common sense." Shen Manhua replied matter-of-factly.
Fan Wubing scratched his head, thinking that he had never stayed there after all, and he didn't know the actual situation. When Shen Manhua said it, he seemed to have no common sense, but he thought for a moment and then said, "There is other time. If so, please find out about the situation of soybeans in Northeast China, whether there will be a large reduction in production due to floods, and then give me a report.
"
Shen Manhua agreed and then asked, "Boss, are you planning to engage in futures?"
"Yes." Fan Wubing nodded and said, "If the domestic soybean production is reduced on a large scale, then the soybean on the international market is likely to see a significant increase. This time I estimate that Americans will also be affected by the floods. , so soybean production will be reduced worldwide, and I need to have a pre-assessment of the damage before deciding how to operate.”
Shen Manhua agreed and said that he would come up with detailed information soon.
Fan Wubing had just arranged the things here, and there was a call from there, but it was Wuzhi Xiaoji. He said hesitantly that he had something to talk to the boss about.
"What can happen to you?" Fan Wubing asked curiously.
Wuzhi Xiaoji was the first foreigner to follow Fan Wubing in his career. As a Japanese, he gained Fan Wubing's trust, which shows that this person is quite reliable. They usually speak very directly. Why did they talk so much today? Are you suddenly squirming? This made Fan Wubing feel very puzzled.
