Chapter 690 Selling Recipes
"Okay, Governor Luo, we've discussed it. Just contact me. Also, ostrich chicks are 20 yuan each." Shang Ruoting directly stated the price she wanted to sell the ostrich chicks for. After all, Governor Luo had to understand the market conditions before he could go back to discuss it.
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll let you know whatever the outcome of the discussion is."
Governor Luo was already thinking about the wheat seeds, and now he had the added matter of ostrich breeding. He didn't want to stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Shang Ruoting and left in a hurry.
After seeing off Governor Luo, Shang Ruoting and her classmates continued to work on harvesting winter wheat.
The winter wheat harvest has been completed, and both students and villagers are rushing to start spring plowing.
Just when Shang Ruoting thought that the sensation caused by winter wheat had gradually passed, Minister Lu found her again.
When she saw the person coming, Shang Ruoting had already roughly guessed the other party's purpose.
Everyone saw the benefits of her reformed fertilizer. She thought Huang Baosen would come to her to ask for the formula, but after waiting for several days, Huang Baosen didn't show up. Instead, Minister Lu came in person.
Minister Lu came here to discuss the issue of improving fertilizers.
The last time he left the experimental field, he ordered people to investigate Shang Ruoting's family background. It turned out that she was the granddaughter-in-law of Mr. Tan.
It is not surprising that a big man like Mr. Tan has such an outstanding granddaughter-in-law.
Fortunately, he was always kind to Shang Ruoting when he met her last time, and he even took the initiative to help her arrange a job after graduation.
If Mr. Tan knew about this, he would definitely have a much better impression of me.
Therefore, before coming to Shang Ruoting to discuss the improvement of fertilizers, he considered it carefully.
If it was a child from an ordinary family, it would be fine. He could just give some benefits and get the fertilizer formula, but with Shang Ruoting, he didn't dare to be so rash.
What if Shang Ruoting gets unhappy and complains to Mr. Tan about him? Wouldn’t that be a loss?
After much consideration, Minister Lu finally came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.
He first sent someone to invite the director of the Beijing Fertilizer Plant and offered to sell him a high-yield fertilizer formula. When the new fertilizer was produced, the Ministry of Agriculture would vigorously promote it to farmers to buy it.
In this way, the fertilizer plant can quickly earn back the money it invested in purchasing the formula.
Shang Ruoting had not originally thought about making any money from this fertilizer improvement method. As long as it was a good thing that benefited the country and the people, she would not keep it for herself. Even if Minister Lu did not ask the fertilizer factory for any formula money, she would choose to contribute it selflessly.
However, don't be a fool when you get the money. Although Shang Ruoting has a broad mind, she will not be a foolish saint.
The amount of money that Minister Lu asked the fertilizer factory for the formula was not small in that era, a full 20,000 yuan.
For Shang Ruoting, the 20,000 yuan was purely unexpected money. The amount didn't matter. Besides, 20,000 yuan was not a small amount.
So she readily agreed to Minister Lu's request.
Minister Lu was also a man who did things without delay. The day after he had his meeting with Shang Ruoting, he came with the director of the fertilizer factory and a pre-printed contract.
Minister Lu acted as an intermediary to help both parties complete the transaction procedures.
Shang Ruoting received the money and handed the formula of the improved fertilizer to the factory director, and then the two parties signed a contract.
After receiving the money and the contract, Shang Ruoting reminded the two that this improved fertilizer was developed based on the soil and climate around the capital. Before she had investigated the arable land and soil in other provinces, she should not sell it to them to avoid any counterproductive effects.
Minister Lu also didn't want the situation Shang Ruoting described to happen, so he immediately reminded the factory director to do as Shang Ruoting instructed no matter what and not to lose the big picture for the small.
The fact that Shang Ruoting sold her fertilizer formula for 20,000 yuan was no secret to Huang Baosen and his classmates.
Perhaps in order to attract Mr. Tan's attention, Minister Lu asked his secretary to vaguely tell the students the purpose of their visit when they were chatting outside.
The principle of one person telling ten people about something is applicable throughout history. Everyone knew about it before Minister Lu left.
Seeing Minister Lu leaving with a group of people, the classmates surrounded Shang Ruoting.
"Congratulations, Shang Ruoting. You've already made so much money without even having a job."
"Yes, you are the first among our classmates to earn ten thousand yuan."
"Ruoting, you've made so much money, are you planning to celebrate?"
Although 20,000 yuan is not enough for Shang Ruoting, in the eyes of the public, 20,000 yuan is definitely a huge sum of money.
Since all the students know about it, it would be nice to treat everyone to a meal on the occasion of the successful adaptation of winter wheat.
"Okay, how about I treat everyone to the Ping An Hotel this weekend?"
