Chapter 728: The needs of peasant friends
Suiling, a small county town under the rule of Longjiang Province.
The county town itself is not big, but outside the county district is next to a forestry bureau of the Provincial Forestry Group, so the local population is still quite large.
It has been less than a month since the Spring Festival, and the beginning of spring has come. The snow on both sides of the road is gradually melting with the warm sun.
In a brick-house area next to the county town, a man who seemed to be about thirty years old, tightened the down jacket's collar with his thick and rough fingers and shivered hard as a gust of cold wind blew.
His name is Liu Chi, and he was only 25 years old after the Chinese New Year. After graduating from high school, he worked at home. Although he was not old, he was a farmer with rich experience.
He has been working all year round, which makes him look older than his actual age.
The older generation often says that the snow in winter is good for farming. This is because the snowfall in winter is high and the low temperature will reduce the density of heavy wintering and to a certain extent inhibit the occurrence of crop diseases. Another thing is that after the snow melts in spring, it will bring a lot of water to the land, which is conducive to the growth of crops after spring plowing.
But it is obvious that this is not applicable this year.
The snow fell last winter so hard!
Although the land will obtain sufficient water after the heavy snow melts, in places like the mountains and low-lying cultivated land such as Songling will bring great trouble to farmers - the spring sowing time will be delayed and short!
Why do you say so?
It is said that snow does not cool down and the snow will cool down. Winter snow will evaporate and absorb heat as the spring sun melts, which will cause continuous low temperatures. The huge snowfall will greatly prolong this process.
After all the spring snow melts, it will bring excessive moisture to the depression, making the land to be leveled and cultivated muddy - this is called in the local dialect of Songling?
The two factors combined together will make the spring plowing and sowing time shorter. What does shortness mean? It means that every household will enter the busy farming state at the same time in that limited time. It also means that spring plowing and sowing requires more labor, and the labor cost is greater!
For Liu Chi, who had just booked more than 40 hectares of dry land at home last winter, it was really not a happy thing.
In the yard was Liu Chi's father, who was over fifty years old, and looked at Bingliu pointing at the ground like a thick finger on the eaves of the house, and then sighed.
These forty acres of land were the last effort I made when I had entered the threshold of my old age. The purpose was to allow my son to have a better life.
The unfavorable years passed were the only thought in the heart of this old man who had been planting for half his life. With a sound, a smog of smoke rose again in the yard.
"Stop looking, I can't see any sweetness." Liu's father took a deep breath and waved to Liu Chi outside the yard: "Get into the house, it's cold."
Liu Chi responded and returned to the room.
"Dad, it's okay today, otherwise I'll go to the county to see the tractor? Don't worry about the weather, but the solar term is coming soon, so what should be done must be done."
Liu's father waved his hand and said that he was doing it.
...
In fact, Chongling County is just a place that sells agricultural machinery, called Funong Agricultural Machinery Market. The predecessor of this market was the previous agricultural machinery supply and marketing cooperative. In terms of history, it can even be traced back to the era before the reform and opening up.
Although more than 30 years have passed, the market still maintains the chaos that seems to never change. On both sides of the store house, there are small vendors selling chicken, duck, geese, tea, and eggs. However, before this messy store, rows of agricultural machinery and equipment are parked in the square of more than 4,000 square meters like an army being paraded!
As soon as his eyes fell to the other side, Liu Chi's mouth widened.
I saw a big guy with four crawlers roaring, roaring with smoke coming in here.
Looking around, the play is like a moving hill!
My dear mother!
Liu Chi was shocked. The tractor... looked stronger than the Cadpillar 330 heavy tractor on the Forestry Bureau's farm!
After the tractor stopped, he immediately walked over.
The person who sent the tractor was Li Ming, a salesperson of the Suihua Sales Department of Tengshi Company. Although Songling is an inconspicuous place, because the Forestry Bureau under the provincial forestry industry has not had forestry production tasks in recent years, most of the logged forest areas have been converted into arable farms.
So there is still a considerable market here. As soon as Kaishankong goes offline and goes public, they focused on it.
As soon as Li Ming jumped out of the car, he was surrounded by a crowd who had been dragged by the mountain and attracted attention.
"Brother, what brand of this tractor is imported?"
"Oh, good guy, it's so big! How much horsepower does it cost?"
"Hey hey? Why are there four tracks in this tractor? Domineering! How much is this fun?"
Facing the inquiries and admiration of all kinds, Li Ming smiled and said loudly: "It's not imported! This is a new product produced by our Tengshi Company, Kaishan Heavy Tractor!"
"Tengshi? Which company? Yituo's own company?"
It hurts my fellow villagers!
Li Ming's curled mouth twitched, "No, no, no! Zhengxin, Guangqi! Have you heard of these two groups?"
Looking at the confused faces of everyone, he waved his hands: "Volkswagen Audi?"
"I know!"
"Tengshi and they are under the same group!"
"Oh! It's fresh! The factory that makes a car actually started to do agricultural machinery! Why do I look so solemn when I said that? Oh? How much does it cost to play Yinger?"
Seeing that the masses were very enthusiastic, Li Ming smiled and said, "One,450,000."
"Mom! This is more expensive than a car!"
Li Ming looked at everyone with a look of surprise and smiled, "Brother, this cannot be compared like this. Our tractor is rated 430 horsepower and 1,700 torque, but the parameters are higher than the imported heavy tows on the market now! Those tractors are often more than 2 million yuan, but is our price of 1.45 million yuan higher?"
After he said this, some people who know how to do things agree with it.
However, some people also made a high-profile statement: "How about comparing the imported tractors? The one I rented during the spring plow last year, dragged more than two tons of flat floor for three days, and the fire didn't go out once! Can domestic ones compare with that?"
Hey? It's uncle!
Li Ming doesn't like to hear this.
"Brother, you have to change your concept. This is a popular foreigner and fascinating foreigners! If there are too many, I won't talk about it. After testing, our tractor has been continuously working for 600 hours without repair! This reliability is more than that of imported tractors of the same level!"
"What's the use of just saying nothing but practicing? Those who sell things must say that they are good."
Li Ming couldn't bear it even more!
"My fellow villager, I'm not afraid to tell you. We have just launched the market. In order to open up sales, the manufacturer has a policy. Within six months, any damages other than humans will be caused, our manufacturer will send a mechanic to come to you for free repairs!"
Liu Chi, who was standing outside the crowd, looked at it for a long time, then heard Li Ming's promise and muttered: "This thing... looks good, but it's too expensive. We don't have that large scale, so we can't afford it."
Li Ming heard the crowd muttering and waved his hand: "Don't say that! Our Tengshi Company was jointly established by Guangqi Group and Zhengxin Group. In order to allow farmers to use our Kaishan Duantong without any pressure, we have now launched twelve interest-free and thirty-six low-interest loan services.
The minimum down payment is 20%, and the down payment of 1.45 million is less than 300,000 yuan, and it is 35,000 yuan per month. Moreover, our machine can apply for agricultural machinery subsidies, with a maximum subsidy of 300,000 yuan by region. Our company has set up a green channel in the Municipal Agriculture Bureau, and the subsidy can be completed in two weeks. By doing so, you can basically drive the machine home without spending money!”
hiss!
Listening to Li Ming's encouragement, thinking about the more than 40 acres of land at home, thinking about the short spring plowing and sowing period this year, Liu Chi...
I'm really a little moved!
