After entering the agricultural machinery promotion list of the Ministry of Agriculture, it is a matter of course to get agricultural machinery subsidies at all levels.

The national agricultural subsidies are still very powerful. The ex-factory price of the crawler self-propelled rotary tiller is 29,000 yuan, and the state directly subsidizes 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a 20% discount.

In addition to state subsidies, there are provincial, municipal, county-level subsidies. And sometimes local subsidies are more powerful than state subsidies.

Although the crawler rotary tiller can also be used in dry land, it is mainly aimed at paddy fields, and customers are also concentrated in the rice-growing areas in the south.

So Yue An’an began to visit the agricultural departments of the southern provinces to seek more local agricultural subsidies.

After walking around the southern provinces, Yue An came to report to Li Weidong on the negotiation.

I said Mr. Yue, you can decide this kind of thing yourself. Li Weidong seemed too lazy to meddle in his own business.

I really can't decide on this matter. You have to decide. Yue An An went on to say: The Hunan Agriculture Department is willing to give us 9,000 yuan of agricultural machinery subsidies, but they have a condition, and they want us to set up a local factory.

Setting up a factory? Using subsidies to attract investment is a good plan. Li Weidong smiled and then asked, What do you think about setting up a factory?

If we want to continue to produce other rice farm machinery in the future and go directly to the south to set up factories, it will definitely be beneficial, not only to be close to the market, but also to control costs. Yue An replied.

Li Weidong thought for a moment and said, It seems that the money we sell the crawler rotary cultivator will be reinvested! But we have to talk about the conditions for setting up a factory. Preferential policies in terms of land, taxation, talents, etc., We've got enough.

Don't worry about this, I will talk to the locals to get the best conditions. Yue An'an paused, then continued; In addition, at the Hybrid Rice Research Institute, we have to sponsor a batch of crawler rotary cultivators.

Give it to them! As long as they want it, I can't wait to send a few more! Li Weidong continued; There are many people who go to the Hybrid Rice Research Center to study every year, not only from our country, but also foreigners. The research center is willing to use our agricultural machinery, which is more effective than advertising on TV!

...

Liu Yuan contracted more than 500 acres of paddy fields to grow hybrid rice, and he is a big planter in the local area.

Of course, 500 mu of paddy fields cannot be planted only by manpower, and agricultural machinery must be used.

Therefore, Liu Yuan is also a frequent visitor to the agricultural machinery station. In addition to purchasing agricultural machinery, he is more for technical guidance.

On this day, Liu Yuan came to the agricultural machinery station again.

The technician at the agricultural machinery station had already known Liu Yuan well. After the two met, Liu Yuan handed a cigarette and chatted with the technician.

Zhang Gong, I've been using the ploughing boat at my house for almost two years. It was ok at first, but recently not only has it slowed down at work, but it has also become unstable. When I used it yesterday, it almost It capsized. You said what should I do? Liu Yuan asked.

Zhang Gong spit out his eyes, and then said, This is a normal phenomenon, the more you use this cultivator, the less efficient it is, and the more unsafe it is, the main reason is that the quality is not good enough!

A few years ago, when the mechanical cultivators first came out, the quality was uneven. The quality of some big factories was okay, but the quality of small factories was really bad. At that time, the quality was still 55%.

In recent years, the quality of the cultivator has been getting worse and worse. Today, the good quality can be 20%, and the poor quality is almost 80%. I guess what you bought is of poor quality.

Why is this happening? Liu Yuan asked.

There is a saying that bad money drives out good money, have you heard of it? Zhang Gong breathed out another smoke ring, and then continued: The structure of this cultivator is relatively simple, and it is easy to make, so companies are rushing to launch. .

There are more products in the world, and the pressure of competition is greater. At this time, companies will reduce prices in order to seize the market, and in order to reduce prices, they can only reduce costs, and there is a situation of cutting corners.

The end result is that cheap products that cut corners occupy the market, and products with excellent quality cannot be sold, so they can only make cheap products with lower costs.

But this cheap thing, although it looks similar in appearance, after all, it is just a fake. After a period of use, after the warranty period expires, there will definitely be quality problems.

Yes, my ploughing boat has passed the warranty period, and now I have to spend money to repair it. Liu Yuan said quickly.

Zhang Gong put out the cigarette in his hand and said, Let's go, I'll show you something good.

Zhang Gong took Liu Yuan to the backyard, pointed to a brand-new crawler self-propelled rotary tiller, and said, Have you seen this? The crawler rotary tiller is a new product that has just been launched. Its performance is comparable to that of a mechanical tiller. too much.

This crawler agricultural machine must have plenty of power, and you can see that the rotary plough at the back is not much stronger than the two rotary plough wheels of the machine! And it's easy to overrun.

The two tracks below will not cause any damage to the muddy feet of the paddy field. It is not like a tractor. After driving over, the two deep muddy feet will not be able to transplant rice seedlings in the coming year!

Liu Yuan looked up and down the crawler rotary tiller, and then asked, I have never seen this kind of agricultural machinery before, is this thing reliable?

It's unreliable, I can introduce it to you! Zhang Gong curled his lips and continued, A couple of days ago, I went to study at the Hybrid Rice Research Center and saw that they were using this crawler rotary tiller.

Does the Hybrid Rice Research Center know? Old Yuan is there, and the hybrid rice you planted was researched there! And this agricultural machine has entered the promotion catalogue of the Ministry of Agriculture. Even if you don’t believe me, you have to believe in the country, right?

Then this new type of agricultural machinery is definitely not cheap, right? Liu Yuan asked.

This one is 29,000! Zhang Gong said.

It's so expensive! Liu Yuan shook his head, feeling that he couldn't bear the price.

Zhang Gong then said: Twenty-nine thousand is not cheap, but the state has agricultural machinery subsidies. This crawler rotary tiller, the subsidies at all levels add up to almost 14,000.

Subsidy of 14,000? That is to sell 15,000? Liu Yuan was suddenly moved. After all, the discount rate close to half price was still very attractive.

Then Liu Yuan asked: How many acres of land can this crawler rotary tiller cultivate in a day?

In normal use, it's about 60 mu! If you cultivate more carefully, you can cultivate 40 to 50 mu of land a day. Zhang Gong replied.

Liu Yuan immediately began to calculate: I cultivate 60 mu of land a day, and my 500 mu of land can be cultivated in eight days, and then I can go to other families' land. The cultivation time of one season of rice is about 20 days, that is, Said I still have 12 days to go to work elsewhere.

Twelve multiplied by sixty is 720, minus the fraction, that is, 700 mu of land can be cultivated. If it is calculated as 30 yuan per mu of land, it is 21,000 yuan! This machine only sold for 15,000 yuan, which is equivalent to making 6,000 yuan!

And I can grow two seasons of rice a year. With this rotary tiller, I can earn 42,000 yuan a year, which is more than what I earn from farming! What's more, this thing can be used not only in paddy fields, but also in dry fields!

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan immediately said, Gong Zhang, keep this machine for me, and I'll go get the money right away!

...

The Hybrid Rice Research Center is never short of people who come to visit and study.

In addition to those who come to visit and study on a daily basis, many training courses are held here every year, and agricultural technicians from all over the world come here.

There are also training courses for foreign agricultural technicians, firstly to promote hybrid rice to the world, and secondly to help poor countries get rid of hunger. Therefore, agricultural technicians from countries such as Africa, Southeast Asia, and South Asia will also come to study.

In an experimental field, a visiting group from Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations is listening to the explanation of the technicians.

The head of the visiting group, Zhao, was already attracted by a crawler-type rotary tiller at work.

Director Zhao is the deputy post of the Department of Agriculture of a certain place, mainly in charge of food production, and the province where he is located is also a large rice-growing province, so the leader of Zhao attaches great importance to the cultivation of hybrid rice.

This thing can cultivate 60 acres of paddy fields in a day? Chief Zhao asked with a look of surprise.

The crawler-type rice rotary cultivator has entered the agricultural machinery promotion list of the Ministry of Agriculture. I think the Ministry of Agriculture will not deceive people. Another person next to him said.

If we use oxen to plough, we will have at most six acres of land a day. This rotary cultivator can support ten cows! Commander Zhao leaned down and swabbed the mud with his hands, then said; And the effect of farming is better than using cattle.”

In the dry land in the north, ordinary cattle plough three mu of land a day. When the farming season is busy, if the cattle are fed some good food, the area of ​​cultivated land will be larger, and it can barely reach four mu of land.

Even the strongest farming ox, eating the best concentrate, is ploughing five acres of land a day. If there is any more, the cow will be tired.

Because the paddy fields in the south are soaked in water all the year round, the land is soft, and the difficulty of cultivating the land is easier than that of the dry land in the north. Farming is also faster.

However, the person behind the plow when ploughing the paddy field is not as comfortable as the dry land. Walking in the paddy field will feel fettered under the feet. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the paddy field cattle ploughing a day is more than five acres of land, at most six acres. Almost twice as large as the northern drylands.

To put it simply, although cattle are very tired in dry fields, the people behind the plows are more comfortable, while in paddy fields, the cattle can be more relaxed, but the people behind the plows have to work harder.

When using machines to cultivate the land, there is no need to consider the physical strength of cattle and people, but only the power of agricultural machinery and the work efficiency of the rotary plough.

If a rotary plough is used on dry land in the north and a tractor is used, it can plow 30 mu of land a day, while the paddy field in the south is relatively soft, and the crawler-type rotary cultivator will definitely have no problem cultivating 60 mu of land. Step on the accelerator, and you can plow up to 70 acres of land in one day, but it costs more machines.

This rotary tiller is ten times more efficient than cattle, which is enough to make every rice grower excited.

I just listened to the head of Zhao and said: Mechanized agriculture is inherently efficient, and it is not surprising that 60 acres of land are cultivated a day. The key is that I checked it just now. This kind of crawler harvester does not hurt mud feet! This thing is stronger than tractors!

It's a pity that this kind of crawler rotary tiller is definitely a lot more expensive than a tractor! If nothing else, just those two tracks are probably more expensive than wheels. I remember a track tractor being a lot more expensive than a wheeled tractor.

This kind of high-end agricultural machinery, that is, the Hybrid Rice Research Center can be used. They are all technicians, and they all have masters, doctors, and professors. They must not be rushing buffalo to cultivate the land like a farmer!

The subordinate next to him lowered his voice and said, Captain, I have inquired. The price of this crawler rotary tiller is 29,000 yuan.

It's close to 30,000 yuan. Ordinary farmers can't afford it. But the price is not too expensive. After all, it is a crawler type rice harvester. The price of this crawler type rice harvester is much more expensive than this. Head Zhao said.

However, the subordinate continued: 29,000 is only the price, this kind of crawler-type rotary tiller can also enjoy agricultural machinery subsidies. I just asked the local people to buy this kind of crawler-type rotary tiller locally, all agricultural machinery Together, the subsidies can make up almost 14,000 yuan.

That is to say, a local farmer can buy a crawler-type rotary tiller for only 15,000 yuan? Director Zhao was surprised, and then sighed: This is much cheaper than raising cattle!

To raise a cow, you have to feed it every day, especially the cows that are cultivated. Many farmers are reluctant to eat their own food on weekdays, and they have to give their cattle some good food. The cost of raising an ox is not low for farmers.

In comparison, 15,000 crawler rotary tillers are obviously counted as replacements.

I saw the head of Zhao rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice, Do you think this kind of machine can be copied by the agricultural machinery enterprises in our province?

The man replied in the same low voice: It shouldn't be easy to imitate, otherwise, this kind of crawler-type rotary tiller would have been made by others. And this kind of product must be patented.

Maybe in addition to our national patents, there are also international patents. Even if the agricultural machinery enterprises in our province can imitate them, they will not dare to produce them.

It's such a pity that it can't be imitated! Head Zhao shook his head helplessly, and then said, Then we can only find a way to introduce it, and talk to the manufacturer when we go back, and try to use a preferential price to sell this product. This product is introduced to us.”

...

Not far away, there is another group of people next to the experimental field. These people are somewhat different in appearance or skin color from the Chinese. They are agricultural experts who came from abroad for training.

Two Vietnamese agricultural experts are also staring at the crawler-type rotary tiller.

Before I came to China, I heard that China's agricultural level is similar to ours. I didn't expect that the Chinese not only have rice transplanters and harvesters, but also crawler-type rotary tillers for arable land!

Yeah, China is much more advanced than us. I used to think that our agricultural level is higher than that of other countries in Southeast Asia. Looking at the entire East Asia region, it is second only to Japan. I didn't expect that China's agricultural mechanization also has this kind of agricultural mechanization. level.

We underestimate China too much. The output of their hybrid rice is several times that of ours, and there are still advanced agricultural machinery available!

The Vietnamese expert sighed and continued: I have carefully observed that this kind of agricultural machinery is very efficient. If it can be introduced to Vietnam, it will definitely greatly improve our agricultural production level.

The question is, can we afford it? This thing costs 30,000 yuan per unit! asked another Vietnamese agricultural expert.

Even if we can't afford it, we can copy it! said the first Vietnamese agricultural expert.

Counterfeit? Do we have the technology?

When it comes to technology, two Vietnamese agricultural experts fell into silence at the same time.

After more than ten years, the more and more people are blowing Vietnam into the second South Korea. However, in terms of industrial level, Vietnam is not ranked in ASEAN, let alone on a par with South Korea.

South Korea has several relatively complete industrial chains, while Vietnam, even the fastest-growing textile industry, has not established an industrial chain. The mechanical field is too far away for Vietnam.

The crawler-type rotary tiller, the Vietnamese can't afford it, and can't build it, so they can only work hard.

After a while, one of them said; Anyway, I think we should find a way to buy a few and go back, even if it is to do research.

But we don't have that much funding. All our funding is less than 30,000 yuan. This time, if it wasn't for the food and lodging provided by China's hybrid rice research center, we wouldn't even be able to afford food, and we wouldn't even be able to return home. There is no toll! Another said.

We can ask for a few samples first! Tell the Chinese that we will have a large order of tens of thousands of units in the future, but now we need a few samples, take them back to Vietnam and try them out. The Chinese will definitely meet thousands of units for the large order. Send us the samples!

Good idea! This way we can get advanced agricultural machinery without spending a penny, and that's what we do!

...

Chairman, good news! Vietnamese want to order our crawler rotary tiller!

During the phone call, Yue An'an's voice was full of surprises.

How many units do Vietnamese want to order? Li Weidong asked.

It is said that there will be orders of 30,000 to 50,000 units. Yue Anan said.

So little? Li Weidong blurted out subconsciously.

Less? 30,000 to 50,000 units, which is quite a lot! If you count it, it's a large order of more than 10 million! Yue Anan said.

Mr. Yue, you have no business with Vietnamese people, so you don't know what their virtues are. There is an idiom called Yelang arrogance, you must have heard of it, and it refers to Vietnamese people. So you can't believe what Vietnamese people say, you have to fight them. A fold. Li Weidong replied.

How much is the discount? Yue Anan asked.

This time, I think it's 0.1 percent off! Li Weidong replied.

The 0.1% discount of 30,000 units is 300 units? If this is the case, then it would not be worthwhile to send over 30 units of samples! Yue Anan said.

What? The Vietnamese still want thirty samples? Li Weidong pouted and continued, Then don't pay attention to them, they must be cheating the samples! Well, tell the Vietnamese that they can send the samples, but they have to pay first.

Chairman, if the Vietnamese really want products sincerely, wouldn't we lose big business if we do this! Yue Anan said.

Mr. Yue, each of our crawler-type rotary tillers has a subsidy of 14,000 agricultural machinery, which can be sold in China without any worries.

Li Weidong paused, and then said: Even if the Vietnamese really gave an order for 30,000 units, we don't have such a large production capacity. Since our production capacity can't keep up, and the order is at risk, why go to this mess. water!
