Chapter 629 Difficult Negotiations

In addition to reclaiming arable land, another important task for Ji Yuanhai is to negotiate conditions with Tianhe Company.

This, then it is really his own decision.

After listening to Ji Yuanhai's words, the 2,300-acre Tianhe Plantation harvested salt-frost potatoes and began to turn the soil and cultivate the land to prepare for the next round of planting.

Wang Zhuyun went to the provincial capital to find a lot of relevant books, and also spent money to ask a few people who knew the inside story. After careful comparison, he felt that planting truffles was simpler and more convenient than planting Cordyceps sinensis, and the benefits were obviously higher.

Nowadays, Cordyceps sinensis is only a few dozen yuan per catty. Compared with the current wages of ordinary people, digging a few catties is equivalent to a "wealth", but for large-scale cultivation, this is indeed troublesome and not worth enough.

Truffles are different. The history of Westerners eating truffles and treating them as delicacies has lasted for many years. They can eat as many truffles as they can. More than a hundred years ago, the annual output of truffles in the West could reach 1,500 tons, but now the annual output is only a few dozen tons.

This is mainly because if you dig truffles directly by digging them in the same way as ordinary mushrooms, it is very easy to break the hyphae of the truffles. When the root system of the fungus is destroyed, it is difficult for new truffles to differentiate and form, and it is almost impossible to grow new truffles in the future.

In other words, the cost of digging truffles in the West is getting higher and higher. The output of truffles is getting less and less every year, and the price is getting higher and higher every year.

In this case, the Tianhe plantation exports several tons and dozens of tons of truffles, which is definitely in short supply. The only thing to note is not to let the foreigners control the price, but to boldly and confidently grasp their eager mentality and offer a good price.

Now the price per kilogram of truffles should be calculated according to the head and the appearance.

The price of fresh truffles of two or three centimeters is about two hundred dollars per kilogram; the price of fresh truffles of three to five centimeters is three or four hundred dollars per kilogram; the price of fresh truffles of more than five centimeters is more than four hundred dollars per kilogram.

If a truffle is huge and in good condition, it is not calculated by weight, but is sent to the top Western businessmen as a rare treasure and a special honor of value, which may even cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Ji Yuanhai also learned a lot in the process, and also reached an agreement with Wang Zhuyun and Liu Xianglan to plant truffles in Tianhe Plantation for export.

Next, the entire plantation will plant a tree that has a symbiotic relationship with truffles, and the initial selection is orange trees.

It can not only conceal the true purpose as much as possible, but also increase some income.

Everything is ready, and Tianhe Plantation is also ready to buy orange seedlings. There is only one problem, that is, Ji Yuanhai needs to see the truffles in person, and it is best to bring back a batch of truffles, so that the conditions can be explored and then large-scale birth can be promoted.

Ji Yuanhai has no time to go abroad, and Wang Zhuyun and Liu Xianglan are also afraid of going abroad to the West. It seems that this matter can only be handed over to others.

When Ji Yuanhai talked to Gong Lin again on the phone, he told her about this matter. Gong Lin immediately smiled and said, "Yuanhai, come to Beijing to find Xue'er! Beijing is very keen on some foreign things now, and there are two top Western restaurants."

"Let Xue'er take you there and bring back some truffles, isn't that enough?"

Ji Yuanhai was delighted when he heard this solution.

This is easy to do. It happens that he should take time to go to Beijing to reunite with them this weekend.

"Okay, tell Xue'er, I'll go there this weekend."

"Okay, Yuanhai." Gong Lin said with a smile.

Before going to Beijing, Ji Yuanhai has another thing to do.

After this period of "tough negotiations", he and Tianhe Company finally listed the conditions.

Tianhe Company needs to build an office building and a yard in Wangtan County, and purchase some real estate. It needs to build a warehouse in Yanwa Township, a workplace covering several acres, including employee dormitories and employee canteens, and expand the planting scale of 2,300 acres to 5,000 acres.

According to Tianhe Company's "requirements", all of these are rent or purchase, and no share is accepted.

If Wangtan County can agree to these requirements, then the salted potatoes can indeed be sold to Wangtan County, and only 10 million will be charged.

However, Wangtan County is obviously unwilling to accept a one-time deal such as renting and selling without participating in the share.

One learns from one's mistakes. The previous Tianhe plantation was profitable, which made the entire Wangtan County suffer a great loss. It has to find a way to spend a lot of money to buy the salted potatoes produced in the plantation.

Now, not counting the 2,300 acres of land, another 2,700 acres will be added, and rent will still be paid... If this is calculated, if it is the same as this time with the salted potatoes, how much money will be lost?

If it were to happen again, wouldn't the entire Wangtan County team be regarded as fools holding a golden bowl and begging for food in the eyes of the higher authorities?

The day after receiving the conditions offered by Ji Yuanhai, Xiang Chengxian returned from the city.

He brought back bad news. As a poor city, Hongshan City's fiscal budget was also not rich. This time, no matter how Xiang Chengxian begged, Hongshan City was only willing to give out two million to help Wangtan County, and also sent people to Wangtan County to conduct an on-site inspection of the salt-frost potatoes to prevent mistakes.

Xiang Chengxian first made a self-examination at the meeting, saying that he was not working hard enough, which led to the current funding gap.

Li Sande, Ji Yuanhai and others comforted him that he had done a good job. After all, it was not easy to go out and ask for money. It was good enough that the higher-ups were willing to give in.

Xiang Chengxian smiled bitterly and said, "I am too realistic. Maybe if I ask for 10 million or 20 million, I will get the 5 million."

Ji Yuanhai smiled and advised, "Secretary Xiang, don't think it's that simple. If the higher-ups are not well-off, it will be difficult for us to get extra money no matter how hard we try."

"Asking for too much money will only make them completely reject our proposal and not give us a penny."

"That's true." Xiang Chengxian sighed, "Now the total is 7 million, and there is still a gap of 3 million from the 10 million; and the land that Tianhe Company wants is also It is indeed a lot, but they don't want to share the profits with us. This is not appropriate. "

"Yuan Hai, you should think about how to negotiate the conditions in this regard. We can't just agree to it like this."

Ji Yuan Hai nodded: "Secretary Xiang, Tianhe Company does want a lot of things. They are unwilling to give us shares and profits, and only want to pay rent. This is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."

"We must still talk about this aspect."

"But in terms of funds, we can also think about it in another way. They are willing to pay for these lands. If we use their money to offset ours, we don't necessarily have to raise 10 million. "
