Chapter 553 I Have the Key, Do You Have the Hole?

The second week after Zhou Rui returned to Shanghai, the joint research team finally arrived in Shanghai.

Their journey actually took nearly half a month, and they were exhausted.

Speaking of "Agricultural God", the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Science and Technology were not unfamiliar with it before, nor were they indifferent.

It's just that the higher-ups have their own procedures and are cautious, and they won't rush into it just because some new technology appears on the market.

Generally speaking, they will wait and see, or even choose to intervene after one or two years.

As for whether this intervention is "support" or "tightening", it depends on the specific situation.

The same is true for Agricultural God.

When Zhou Rui released it at the time, he contacted the Ministry of Agriculture through the "general assembly" route, but it only attracted attention.

Afterwards, the subsidies from the local departments of Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province were also a little smoothed by the Ministry of Agriculture.

The private letter from the elder actually accelerated the process of the Ministry of Agriculture's intervention.

Of course, as the elder said, it doesn't mean that what he wrote will happen. The iron must be hard to forge, and the specific situation depends on the results of the investigation.

Intelligent Building, in the conference room.

The seven people of the joint investigation team and nearly 10 people from "Enlightened Intelligence" are interviewing.

The leader of the investigation team is named Yu Yang, about 40 years old, with a square face, looks extremely serious, and even a little difficult to get along with.

A kind of "pressure" from the Beijing North Committee is clearly shown on his face.

"Mr. Zhou, we have been traveling south and visited many "Agricultural God" pilot projects. Before we officially start, I would like to ask you what you think is the demand for your company's "Agricultural God" now.

Zhou Rui was dressed in formal attire, with Gan Yuan on his right and Wang Tao on his right. Director Li, who came specially, sat slightly behind.

This interview was very important, and even a camera was set up next to it.

It's not about broadcasting on TV, but it involves national interests, and the whole process must be recorded.

Zhou Rui said seriously: "Team Leader Yu, first of all, I hope to follow the subsidy policies of the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to reduce the purchase cost of agricultural machinery cooperatives and reduce the cost of new technology. The difficulty of promoting technology, and the same is true for subsidies based on the number of acres of work."

"In addition, the standardized agriculture of drones requires the cooperation of the national geological department, agricultural department, and meteorological department. When it is applied in the field, it also requires the guidance and initiative of local agricultural departments."

Zhou Rui has a clear conscience and made many requests in one breath.

Yu Yang recorded some key points in the notebook in front of him.

"If we follow the plans of some places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the subsidy for each agricultural god will be as high as 300,000, which exceeds the subsidy amount of all agricultural machinery categories on the market. Let me give you an example. If your company sells 10,000 agricultural gods a year, the country will have to pay 3 billion. "

"The number of acres of work is even more so. The subsidy for one acre is 3 yuan. The national cultivated land area is 1.9 billion acres. Even if only 10% of the area is involved in agricultural gods, it is 5.7 billion yuan, and each acre of land has at least 3-8 work needs a year, year after year. "

"If it is completely copied, the annual subsidy amount will be tens of billions, or even tens of billions every year. Even if this is a gradual process, the amount is extremely huge. ”

At this point, Yu Yang looked into Zhou Rui’s eyes.

“The most important thing is that there are no similar products on the market, and you have no competitors. This money is almost the same as giving it directly to ‘Kai Ming Intelligence’ to help you expand the market.

This is also the biggest taboo of the subsidy policy, that one company dominates the market.

Even in terms of administration, it is easy to breed many problems and leave room for gossip.

If Kai Ming Intelligence falsely marks prices, falsely reports the number of acres, conceals damage, fabricates sales, modifies data, and produces and sells by itself,

there are too many loopholes to exploit.

This may be one of the reasons why the agricultural department did not intervene in the first place before.

Gan Yuan on the side felt a little uncomfortable. The boss took great pains, but so far the entire “Agricultural God” has only lost money and not made any profit. Being told this,

Zhou Rui tapped the table with his fingers, reminding his secretary to pay attention to his emotions, at least not to show them on his face.

The so-called rules are not comfortable.

If Zhang Yao from the “Overseas Business Department” said today that he wanted to open a branch in the United States for the good of the company, it would require hundreds of millions of funds and strong support from the company.

Is there a possibility that he is really wholeheartedly for the company, not for personal gain?

Of course there is this possibility, and given the current atmosphere of the company, it is very likely.

Then there will be no rules and no management supervision on him? Of course not.

Besides, if the starting point is to be wholeheartedly for the company, won’t the actual work change?

The same is true for state subsidies.

No one is obliged to trust him 100%.

So there is no need to be emotional.

Zhou Rui said: "First of all, state subsidies are a gradual process. We have a long way to go from 10,000 sales to 10% of cultivated land area."

"Subsidies are a climbing process. When the market matures and technology advances, the amount and scope of application of subsidies will have a 'ebb'. I believe that Team Leader Yu is also very clear about this."

"The key point is whether it is necessary to vigorously promote 'Agricultural God' and whether it is necessary to give it a boost."

Team Leader Yu nodded slightly in his heart. This Mr. Zhou is more mature than he thought, and he did not lose his composure because of the intentional probing at the beginning.

Zhou Rui spread his hands and said: "'Kaiming Intelligence' is a company. We can't cultivate our own opponents. We are even trying our best to avoid any competitors. But this has nothing to do with whether 'Nongshen' can help agricultural development."

"Whether or not Nongshen is subsidized depends only on whether it has this value, or whether you can see this value."

Except Yu Yang, the several people in the research team were all recording with their heads down. They did not show any abnormality because of Zhou Rui's resounding words.

This is not the first time they have contacted the company, and it is difficult to tell anything from their behavior.

To be precise, it is not an exaggeration to say that the people who came today are negotiation experts. The atmosphere is quite depressing.

From beginning to end, only Yu Yang spoke.

Yu Yang: "Then let me put it another way. If the national subsidy is established, how can you let the supervision intervene in this process."

Zhou Rui was well prepared. He took a document from Gan Yuan and pushed it in front of Yu Yang.

"First, I can announce the cost structure of 'Nongshen' to the departments in charge, update it from time to time, and accept supervision and spot checks."

"Second, the data center will be open to the agricultural department, and the work records and working acres of 'Nongshen' will be supervised. This function itself requires the cooperation of the agricultural department and the geological department to quickly establish a database."

"Third, what I want is far more than just national subsidies. I need more support at the administrative level. From production to sales to work, the entire chain of 'Nongshen' is not a 'black box' for the departments in charge, so you also have multiple channels to understand the actual situation, and you must also participate and assume due responsibilities."

"Fourth, that is me, and Kaiming Intelligence, with excellent strength and a better future. We are not the kind of shell company that relies on subsidies to survive. Without 'Nongshen', we are still a large enterprise with an annual revenue of tens of billions. Simply put, if something goes wrong, we accept the penalty, and there is a penalty."

This preliminary plan was discussed with Director Li and the elders and the tone was set.

Director Li and the veterans have a lot of experience in the operation logic of the agricultural sector and the concerns about national subsidies. They have been dealing with relevant departments all their lives.

The veterans even gathered some scientists, seniors, and backbones of the "National Hybrid Rice Research Center" in the agricultural field to write a "joint initiative".

Expressed support for "drone standardized agriculture".

Yu Yang took the document and did not look at it immediately, but handed it to the deputy next to him.

This "negotiation expert" always pays attention to Zhou Rui and stares at him closely.

"Your company is indeed developing rapidly, but this is not our primary consideration. Mr. Zhou, ask an irrelevant topic."

"If Agri-God doesn't see much profit, why do you spend energy on promotion instead of focusing on other businesses?"

"In my opinion, maybe it's more reasonable for you to spend time studying something else, or even writing songs, than focusing on agriculture."

Gan Yuan, Wang Tao, and Director Li behind him all looked at Zhou Rui.

Even in the research group, many people who were writing with their heads down, especially the young ones, secretly glanced at the entrepreneur and celebrity who was in the limelight.

Zhou Rui smiled and said:

"Because I am still young, if young people have the key to change the world."

"Then when they see the hole, they will definitely want to insert it and try it out!"
