Chapter 390 Agricultural Pioneer; Kang Kuan; Encounter at the Exhibition
"Brothers, I want to start a business."

At night, in a small town restaurant in Guangdong Province, several Jiahe service technicians gathered together to drink and chat.

Because the township he was in charge of was the farthest away, Jiang Yi, who arrived late, broke big news to everyone as soon as he sat down.

"I haven't even had a drink yet, but I'm already talking drunkenly."

"I mean it."

"Jiang Yi, if you have any requests for salary, you can tell me directly."

Regional Manager Wu Chaoping put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the others, "You too."

"It's not a question of salary." Jiang Yi said, "In the less than two years at Jiahe, the money I've earned has exceeded my imagination."

"That's a question of position." Wu Chaoping thought for a moment and said, "Which region do you want to be in charge of? Tell me and I'll recommend one to you. Now is the critical period to compete with Kang Kuan for the market. You can't leave."

Jiang Yi shook his head again.

The others looked at him in confusion.

In fact, Denong's business has always been good. With the seed base of Tianhe Seed Industry, as long as it is willing to visit the market more often, it can make stable profits.

At the same time, the company has launched many hot-selling products in the past one or two years.

First, biological pesticides and feed additives became popular in export-oriented bases.

For example, Quanwang's "Quick Kill" insecticide brand can sell a small bag of insecticide for more than 12 yuan, which is extremely profitable.

Looking across the country, only Kangkuan, a product of DuPont, a world-class agrochemical company, can compete with it.

DuPont's Kangkuan was only listed last year, but the difference is that it was launched simultaneously around the world.

At the same time, unlike the "Quick Kill" and other all-king series that have become popular in the market by breaking through the island country's positive list system, Kangkuan targets the rice leaf roller and the rice stem borer.

Coincidentally, in the past two years, there was a major outbreak of rice leaf folder in the south.

In the early stage of being introduced into the domestic market, Kangkuan showed its high activity against rice leaf folder, long lasting effect and no harm to fish and shrimp, and quickly won the favor of users.

The popular insecticide Fipronil was classified as a restricted pesticide due to its safety to bees and aquatic organisms, which quickly left a large market share to Kangkuan.

Compared with mainstream avermectin drugs, Kangkuan's high activity and long-lasting effect also won the competition.

If we say that DuPont Conkuan and Quanwang Speed ​​Kill were the first to come to the fore in the domestic insecticide market last year.

This year, the two started running wildly.

But the domestic market is too large and there are too many types of crops. Even the most excellent market management cannot reach the peak in just one or two years.

In addition to rice, Kangkuan can also promote corn, cotton, vegetables, fruit trees...

In addition to the export-oriented bases, there is still room for promotion of Susha, and other markets cannot be given to others for nothing.

At least in the past one or two years, the only one in China who can compete with Kang Kuan is Quan Wang’s Speed ​​Kill.

The two have not yet competed head-on because the market is big enough, but the day when they invade each other's territory is not far away.

One farmer extension meeting after another.

It is also necessary to prevent channel dealers from all over the country from selling goods at low prices. In this regard, both Tianhe and Quanwang have been very strong.

Layer-by-layer logistics tracking through code scanning, cross-regional management with assigned responsibilities to individuals, and strict reward and punishment mechanisms.

In the past three months, each member of their small team has participated in more than 3 farmers' meetings.

Everyone has also experienced accompanying the smuggler to the homes of the smuggled goods to collect the goods. This classic scene is a treatment only for best-selling products.

There are nearly 400 full-time promoters like them across the country.

Similarly, DuPont has more than 200 promoters across the country, so DuPont does not have an advantage in terms of numbers.

Thinking of this, Wu Chaoping's heart sank, "Could it be that DuPont is trying to recruit you?"

The others were also surprised when they realized it belatedly.

It's really possible.

Apart from anything else, in terms of welfare benefits, only foreign companies can compare with them among their domestic peers.

"Jiang Yi, don't do anything stupid. DuPont has a lot of potential, except for Kang Kuan, and Kane's Indoxacarb is better. But there is competition between the two, and Kang Kuan will definitely grab the Indoxacarb market."

"Yes, we now have several potential hits in our hands. It's time to expand our territory. It's great to make so much money!"

"Eat something first." Wu Chaoping poured Jiang Yi a glass of wine, "Tell me slowly, we must make this matter clear today."

Jiang Yi, who had been starving for a long time, did not hesitate to eat. He sat down and started to eat a large piece of salt-baked chicken, then drank a glass of cold beer.

During this time, the others stared at him intently.

Jiang Yi smiled unconsciously.

"I won't surrender to the enemy. Starting a business is not just empty talk. I really want to return to my hometown to start a business."

Wu Chaoping and others still stared at him, "Agricultural entrepreneurship is a road of no return."

"Don't read too many books about how to get rich."

"Jiang Yi really likes to read about how to get rich."

"She always likes to comment, saying that the show is fake."

Jiang Yi was almost confused by the constant barrage of comments. "Stop, stop, stop. I think you are afraid that one day I will become a boss and you will have to come to me to sell agricultural supplies."

"cut."

Wu Chaoping asked: "Why did you suddenly want to start a business?"

Jiang Yi took out his newly bought smartphone from his trouser pocket and said with a smile, "A very interesting project was launched within the group today."

"What project?"

"Five acres in exchange for a Mercedes-Benz." Jiang Yi introduced: "It was the boss who proposed it himself. The group wants to incubate high-quality agricultural projects, and insiders will be given priority in resource support."

"What?"

"real or fake?"

The group's appetite was whetted, and they all gathered in front of Jiang Yi's phone to take a look.

"No, look at your own phone!"

"Yes."

After a while, everyone finished reading the "Five Mu for a Mercedes-Benz" channel that was to be launched by Huinong.com within the group, as well as the related introduction.

"Hiss, not only is there priority resource support, but there are also recommendations for high-quality projects."

“The first batch of people who upload video content also receive traffic support.”

"Not only that, there are also financial loans available."

The crowd stopped eating and drinking and just focused on discussing the details of exchanging five acres for a Mercedes-Benz.

Only Jiang Yi was eating his meal in a flash.

This look of the crowd was expected.

Everyone has the dream of becoming a farmer, but not everyone has the courage to take risks like him.

The necessities of life, peace and happiness are what most people prefer.

What's more, it's a company like Jiahe that has excellent benefits and is easy to leave but difficult to join.

Sure enough, although everyone was discussing heatedly, Jiang Yi was the only one in this small group who decided to start a business.

"Brothers, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget each other."

"Okay, okay. If any of you are assigned to Nanning in the future, feel free to look for me."

"Haha, if I really buy a Mercedes-Benz in the future, you have to drive it for me for two days..."

Jiang Yi is also looking forward to the day when he can exchange five acres for a Mercedes-Benz.

……

"Jingle Bell……"

On the side of the road, in a business car, Guo Yang, who was planning to go to the Tianjin Watch Exhibition to meet Ge Wenyao by chance, did not answer the phone until the last minute and was the first to speak.

"Yuan Wenwu has been taught a lesson by me."

"Oh."

Qu Yang took back what he wanted to say in a huff, and quickly changed his words, "Tianhe Seed Industry will fully support the "Five Acres for a Mercedes-Benz" project."

"It's OK. I didn't say I would do whatever I wanted."

"Ah?" Qu Yang was stunned. "Is that what Yuan Wenwu said? Damn it, where does he get the courage from?"

"Maybe you gave it to me."

"Absolutely not." Qu Yang denied it, and after a while, he said, "But people's hearts are indeed very volatile, and many front-line salesmen are tempted.

Yuan Wenwu is under a lot of pressure. In addition to seeds and feed, he has several more potential blockbuster pesticides such as green-cutting and quick-kill. It is a bit unreasonable that the performance growth this year is not high enough.

But DuPont's Kangkuan insecticide market is also growing strongly. At this stage, it depends on who is faster and who has more hands..."

Every agricultural worker should be familiar with the Kangkuan brand.

"Use Kangkuan on rice to increase yield by 130%. " This slogan will be widely circulated in the future, but it also performs well on other crops.

It can be said that in the previous life, for nearly 10 years, Kangkuan was the undisputed number one brand of insecticides and also earned huge profits for the company behind it.

It was not until the patent expired and domestic manufacturers frantically expanded production that Kangkuan's price fell to the bottom.

But in fact, the King’s quick kill has a higher positioning, is more expensive, and now it is more of a differentiated competition.

Guo Yang pondered and said, "Strictly speaking, Denong Agricultural Materials is a distributor of Tianhe and Quanwang. Only organic fertilizer is Denong's own business."

"Uh..." Qu Yang said, "All our salesmen have also been sent out."

"Increase the recruitment efforts." Guo Yang said: "There is no shortage of agricultural students in the country now."

"okay."

Qu Yang didn't know what to say for a moment.

The feelings about the project of "Five acres for a Mercedes-Benz" are very complicated. Although many people like to read stories of getting rich, people in the industry know that those who imitate entrepreneurs will have tall grass on their graves.

It would be fine if Huinong.com imitated the "Getting Rich" project, but it also had to recommend incubation and support for agricultural innovation projects.

The risk is enormous.

Once the impact of the project expands and the recommended projects fail on a large scale, no one knows how much public opinion it will cause. Even a company as big as Jiahe may not be able to cope with it.

"I have prepared a list. Please ask the nursery to prepare the seeds and seedlings on it."

"it is good."

After a moment's silence, Guo Yang asked again, "How are the overseas market channels?"

"The channel contracts for North America, South America and Eastern Europe have been signed, and the first batch of seeds, including corn, soybeans and rapeseed seeds, have been put on the market."

"Row."

On a road in Beijing, Guo Yang, who was sitting in a car, saw Lin Keqing walking towards him from a distance, got out of the car, and waved to him.

"I'll leave Tianhe Seed Industry's hope of becoming the world's best to you."

"Just leave it to me, boss."

Qu Yang said excitedly that after achieving financial freedom, some people like to enjoy life, but some people want to change the world, and Jiahe has gathered a large number of such people.

"That's it, I'm hanging up now. I have something to do."

Lin Keqing was still wearing black trousers, a white T-shirt, and a ponytail. She exuded youthful vitality and was holding a plastic bag in her hand.

Seeing this scene, Guo Yang felt much better.

At this time, another call came in. I took a look and saw it was Yu Qin, so I hung up.

"You must have waited a long time, Mr. Guo."

"Why don't you change it? We agreed to call you Senior Brother, or Brother Yang is fine too. Forget it, just call me Brother Yang. It sounds more friendly."

"Okay, Brother Yang." Lin Keqing shouted happily and picked up the bag in his hand again.

"Brought it for you."

"What?" Guo Yang then saw clearly that there was a food box in the bag.

"Jelly jelly." Lin Keqing said with a smile, "It's Wuwei's shami jelly."

"You did it yourself?" Guo Yang asked in surprise.

"Yeah, so I'm late."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll have to trouble you to accompany me to the watch exhibition first, and then fly back to Wuwei together. Besides, I'll also have my favorite shami noodles."

Sand rice noodles are a seasonal summer snack near Minqin. Every autumn, farmers living on the edge of the desert often take cloth sheets and willow sticks to "beat sand rice".

Among desert delicacies, shami is definitely one of the most precious. Its growth cycle is shorter than the annual holiday and it is difficult to collect, but it has a unique flavor and nutritional value.

In the original body's memory, rice noodles are definitely one of the most unforgettable delicacies during adolescence.

So Guo Yang was not lying, he gave a thumbs up, took the shami noodles, and praised: "Great! Junior sister, you are thoughtful, thank you~"

"nice! You love it."

After Guo Yang and Lin Keqing sat in the back seat of the business car, they couldn't wait to open the lunch boxes.

The snow-white rice noodles, paired with bright red chili oil and green onions, whet your appetite.

“I ate it.”

Lin Keqing smiled and nodded.

Luo Xiu, who was driving, said, "Boss, please put my share in the passenger seat."

Guo Yang curled his lips, "Why, are you afraid that I will eat you all in one go?"

"That's possible." Luo Xiu changed his usual silent, cold and dedicated image and said, "I've been craving for shami noodles for a long time, but I haven't been able to eat it in Minqin several times."

"That's a bit regrettable." Lin Keqing covered her mouth and laughed, "Sand rice noodles are a must-eat specialty in Wuwei."

Luo Xiu said: "Until now, I don't even know what Shami looks like."

"It's delicious. Junior sister's cooking skills are really good."

After eating a few bites, Guo Yang first showed an extremely enjoyable expression, and then said to Luo Xiu: "You have seen a lot of Sha Peng, but you just don't know them.

I have seen it in Minqin, Jiuquan, and even in the United States.”

Luo Xiu racked his brains to think about it, but finally shook his head helplessly.

Lin Keqing was also surprised and asked: "Do Americans also have sand fleabane?"

"Yeah." Guo Yang nodded as he ate. "But America has many plains, and Salicornia is an invasive plant in America, causing a lot of damage to America."

“There is also this matter.”

Guo Yang did not hesitate to show his knowledge of plants.

"Sandweed is known as the most arrogant grass in the world. As soon as autumn comes, it will make Americans miserable. It rolls wherever the wind blows, so it is also called tumbleweed. In many movies about the American West, there are many scenes about it...

Blocking rivers, burying houses and towns, starting fires..."

While eating, Guo Yang was explaining the knowledge about Salicon carmichaelii to Lin Keqing, which made the latter nod his head repeatedly in amazement and finally sigh.

"The Americans aren't that great!"

"Junior sister, this comment is very insightful." Guo Yang said with a smile: "In the past two years, the Americans have been in a state of embarrassment due to biological invasions.

Asian carp, caltrops, and fire ants are far more troublesome than tumbleweeds.”

Although the Internet has developed in China in the past two years, apart from a few traditional media outlets, there is very little relevant information on the Internet about Asian carp.

Guo Yang's story was full of wit and humor, which made Lin Keqing smile all the time.

Luo Xiu was driving attentively, but his attention was drawn to the laughter behind him many times, and he sighed inwardly.

"The boss is not normal, no, he should be normal. Oh, who cares if he is right or not, as long as the shami noodles are still there."

...

It took more than two hours to drive from Beijing to Tianjin, and Guo Yang and Lin Keqing had a very pleasant conversation.

But when we arrived, it was almost evening.

Guo Yang took Lin Keqing to rent a dress. He originally wanted to buy it, but the latter firmly disagreed. If it wasn't for Guo Yang's face, she might not even go to the watch exhibition.

Guo Yang could only agree reluctantly.

He was really amazed by Lin Keqing in cheongsam, she looked like a different person, radiant and dazzling.

The loose and plain clothes concealed her beauty.

It’s a pity that I can’t buy this cheongsam.

The next day, Guo Yang saw Lin Keqing, who was wearing light makeup, in the hotel lobby and was stunned for a moment again.

The elegant posture, graceful temperament, and beautiful lady in cheongsam are all very charming, but when it comes to her lips, it turns into one sentence, "It looks good."

Lin Keqing felt a little embarrassed by the gazes of people around him.

"Let's go, brother."

Tianjin's watch exhibition is held in the Holiday Inn in the Economic and Technological Development Zone.

Brand watch dealers from all over the country stopped in front of the dazzling array of watch booths, appreciating the colorful, novel and unique exquisite watches.

Under the light, the various watches left a deep impression.

Swiss MIDO, Minward, Eichwa ceramic diamond watches, and Aegis series watches;
Howard Miller of Old America;

Diat in Italy;
Kieninger in Germany;

The Oriental table of island countries ORIENTJAPAN;
Domestic products are also not inferior. The Ebohr watches from Shenzhen and the Sea-Gull watches from Tianjin both left a deep impression on Guo Yang.

Perhaps because of his preconceived notions, Guo Yang felt that the craftsmanship of Sea-Gull watches had reached an extremely sophisticated level.

The "minute repeater" and "double tourbillon" watches can both reflect the world-class watchmaking style.

Unfortunately, high-end watches can basically only survive in a certain circle, and in fact, many people are prejudiced against domestic brands and have a natural aversion to them.

Guo Yang didn't know why Ge Wenyao was so obsessed with Haiou, just like he was obsessed with acquiring Jahwa.

However, after walking around the exhibition, Guo Yang did not see Ge Wenyao.

"This old man wouldn't be absent, right? It shouldn't be here. Seagull is one of the organizers of this watch exhibition!"

"Brother Yang, what are you mumbling about?" Lin Keqing asked doubtfully, "Did you not find the person?"

"Hmm."

Guo Yang did not hide the purpose of his visit to the watch exhibition from Lin Keqing.

He would like the whole world to know that Golden Harvest is interested in Jahwa, but unfortunately the media is more keen on discussing Ping An and Jahwa together.

When someone mentioned Jiahe and Jahwa, Ping An's supporters made disdainful sneers.

"The combination of agriculture and fashion industry is as chilling as the combination of a rural old man and a city lady."

"Financial insurance is a better match for Ge Wenyao's fashion industry group!"

Looking at Lin Keqing who seemed somewhat uncomfortable with this kind of occasion, Guo Yang felt a little guilty. He was so busy looking for someone that he ignored Lin Keqing's predicament.

"If there's a watch you like, I'll give you one."

Lin Keqing shook her head as expected, "No, it's too expensive."

"There are cheaper ones, too." Guo Yang took Lin Keqing back to the Seagull booth. "It doesn't look bad. Our country's diplomatic corps also likes Seagull watches."

If there was a pair of the same model as Uncle Wang's at that time, Guo Yang would definitely collect one, but unfortunately he couldn't remember which model it was.

A Seagull staff member came over to greet us, also a woman wearing a cheongsam.

"Sir, Madam, how may I help you?"

Guo Yang placed his hands on the exhibition stand and looked at the watches in the glass cabinet one by one. Finally, he picked out a watch with a nice style.

"Take this one out and let this person try it."

Lin Keqing took a look and shook his head like a rattle, "Too expensive."

"You can try it but you don't have to buy it." Guo Yang said with a smile and signaled to the female salesperson with his eyes.

The saleswoman had already caught a glimpse of the Sea-Gull minute repeater watch on Guo Yang's wrist, which was Sea-Gull's top-level complex precious metal watch.

Everything from the overall to the details is perfect!

If it is a first-tier Swiss brand, this watch plus the brand value would easily exceed one million.

This is a loyal customer of Seagull!
The saleswoman figured it out at first sight and quickly gave Lin Keqing a professional smile, "Yes, ma'am, you don't have to buy it."

Lin Keqing looked at Guo Yang, who had an encouraging look on his face, and then looked at the exquisitely crafted watch.

"Okay, let's try it, but let's make it clear, I don't want it if you give it to me."

Although these watches are expensive, Lin Keqing knows that they are nothing to her cheap senior brother.

"I definitely won't buy it." Guo Yang smiled and said, "If I buy it, I'll buy it for myself."

The female salesperson looked at the two people who were talking. The woman was very beautiful and the man was wealthy. She was 80% sure that she could close the deal.

With the help of the salesperson, Lin Keqing finally replaced his watch with this Seagull Tourbillon.

The lightweight watch sparkles with a unique luster, but when worn on Lin Keqing's hand, she lifts her wrist slightly, and time passes, with a touch of fashion, showing her elegance.

Guo Yang smiled and gave a thumbs up, "She is so beautiful that she is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

Lin Keqing said a little embarrassedly: "You are exaggerating."

The saleswoman said at the right moment: "It's not an exaggeration at all. It matches your temperament. It's really elegant and fashionable."

"No matter how beautiful it is, I can't afford it. Even if I can afford it, I won't buy it." Lin Keqing carefully took off the Sea-Gull Tourbillon. Seeing that the male protagonist didn't say anything, the female salesperson had to put it back.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" Guo Yang said to Lin Keqing, "Try other things. Since we are here, we should try more."

Lin Keqing was surprised, but also a little eager to try, "This is not good."

Guo Yang looked at the female salesperson again, and the latter still nodded.

Lin Keqing asked doubtfully: "Aren't you still looking for someone?"

"If the person I'm looking for comes today, he will definitely come to the Seagull booth and wait here." Guo Yang said with a smile: "If he doesn't come, waiting is not a solution. Trying can also relieve boredom. Don't worry and try boldly."

"Then give it a try?"

"Try whichever one you want." Guo Yang pointed to the exhibition stand, looking like he had no shortage of money, which attracted a crowd of onlookers who were confused.

It also attracted more popularity for Seagull. I don’t know if they were looking at the watch or the people.

Under the guidance of the female salesperson and with Guo Yang's repeated approval, Lin Keqing tried one watch after another. In addition to expensive watches, she also tried watches priced at one or two thousand yuan.

The saleswoman's face changed for a moment.

Guo Yang was also admiring the game while keeping his eyes on the field, but he did not see Ge Wenyao.

It was not until nearly 11 o'clock that Ge Wenyao appeared at the exhibition stand of Pengcheng EBOHR Watches.

But there was someone next to him, which made Guo Yang nervous.

One of the protagonists active in the financial media during this period is Chen Gang, general manager of Ping An Trust’s direct investment department.

He was also the operator of Ping An’s acquisition of Jahwa.

After confirming that he was not mistaken, Guo Yang relaxed again and thought about countermeasures. It would be a bit embarrassing to go over and say hello directly.

If we don't meet, wouldn't this trip be in vain?

"What's wrong, Brother Yang?" Lin Keqing's voice brought Guo Yang back to his senses.

He looked at the Seagull on Lin Keqing's wrist, and then at the other people beside Ge Wenyao, one of whom should be Wang Deming, the general manager of Seagull.

Guo Yang had an idea. This time it was not for anything else but to suppress Ping An again.

You only came as a department manager, but he came in person, not only came, but also proved his sincerity to Seagull products...

Guo Yang nodded slightly to Lin Keqing, then knocked lightly on the glass cabinet and looked at the female salesperson who seemed a little tired.

“Which is the most expensive Seagull watch?”

"Of course it's the Seagull Double Tourbillon!" The saleswoman was shocked and said, "This kind of craftsmanship is rare even in Switzerland!"

"How much is the most expensive?"

"48 yuan." The female salesperson looked at him expectantly.

"It's too cheap." Guo Yang was a little impatient. Chen Gang's smile in the distance seemed to be slapping him in the face.

"Is there any seagull worth more than a million dollars?"

"This... this..." The saleswoman was a little anxious, and after a while she spoke incoherently, she said, "Seagull plans to launch a model that meets the standards early next year.

This watch combines tourbillon, perpetual calendar and minute repeater technology in one, with a total of 435 parts and a very complex manufacturing process..."

“You accept reservations?”

The saleswoman swallowed her saliva and nodded with a trembling body, but she still reminded, "The price is 168 million yuan."

Guo Yang waved his hand and said, "Go find your boss to sign the contract."

After the female salesperson confirmed again and again that she really wanted to place an order, she walked quickly out of the exhibition hall.

Looking at the direction the female salesperson was going, Guo Yang smiled, then turned around calmly and pretended to discuss various watches with Lin Keqing.
