Chapter 832 One kilogram of soybeans, 20 US dollars? OFO: Actually, I manufacture cars!
At dawn the next day, the sky outside the window was just beginning to lighten, with a faint glimmer of white appearing on the horizon.
In the master bedroom on the third floor, Ye Qiuping lay on her side asleep. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly woke up from her dream.
"call……"
She suddenly opened her eyes, breathing heavily, and instinctively reached out to touch Chen Yansen beside her, only to find the pillow empty.
Where are they?
She picked up her phone from the bedside table and saw that the clock showed 5:30.
Lifting the corner of the blanket, putting on her slippers, Ye Qiuping walked out of the room and immediately caught sight of the light coming from the study, so she tiptoed over there.
Chen Yansen sat at his desk, the Siemens NX user interface displayed on his computer screen.
This is a system-level design and simulation tool that can cover almost the entire process of satellite development, from conceptual design to detailed design, analysis, manufacturing, and assembly.
For example, overall structural modeling includes the design of core components such as the structural frame, solar panels, payload bay, and antenna.
European and American space associations particularly favor this integrated platform software that combines CAE, CAD, and CAM.
Noticing Ye Qiuping quietly approaching, Chen Yansen put down his keyboard, stretched out his left arm, and pulled her into his arms.
"Awake? Why not sleep a little longer?"
He asked casually.
"I had a nightmare and woke up in fright," Ye Qiuping replied softly.
Her figure recovered remarkably well, thanks to top-notch postpartum care and ample rest.
Aside from her slightly rounded lower abdomen, she still maintains her curvaceous figure with a prominent bust and hips and a slender waist. Even her breasts have grown larger, upgrading from a D grade to an E grade.
"With your courage, you think you can be woken up by a nightmare?"
Chen Yansen patted her shapely buttocks, a smile on his face.
A person who graduated from high school and never attended college has made his way in the world of Joyo.com, Amazon, and JD.com with his excellent eloquence and mental fortitude. Now, he is the CEO of Orange Communications, leading a multinational company with more than 6,000 employees.
What could possibly frighten a woman like that?
"Because you are not in my dreams, nor is dried tangerine peel."
Ye Qiuping's voice trembled, and her face showed obvious lingering fear.
Compared to what happened in the dream, everything in reality felt more like an unreal, beautiful dream.
Since meeting Chen Yansen, her happiness index has skyrocketed, and she also has a lovely daughter.
"It's just a dream, it's not real."
Chen Yansen patted her on the shoulder and comforted her gently.
He keenly sensed the subtle fluctuations in Ye Qiuping's emotions and naturally understood her concerns.
Ye Qiuping nodded, and was about to speak when she suddenly felt a tightness and a dull ache in her chest, causing her to frown.
She was about to turn around and go back inside when she heard Chen Yansen say in a serious tone, "President Ye, I haven't had breakfast yet."
Master Ye instantly understood, and gave him a charmingly glare: "You rascal! You want to steal my daughter's food?"
...
...
Two hours later, the sun rose in the east, and golden rays filled the entire sky.
Several birds perched on the branches, chirping and singing. The dew on the tips of the leaves either dripped slowly or evaporated gradually as the temperature rose.
Chen Guobin, dressed in a training uniform, slowly and deliberately performed the eight moves of the Vajra Kung Fu, practicing meticulously.
Standing on the terrace, Chen Yansen joked, "Old Chen, you're not planning to find a partner, so what's the point of practicing this kung fu?"
Chen Guobin looked up and glared at his filial son, then snapped, "Get lost!"
This is my home, and you're telling me to get out?
Chen Yansen muttered to himself.
He then took out his phone and sent a message to Meng Yun, asking him to bring over the keys to a nearby villa.
The reason Chen Guobin made a special trip to Luzhou was probably because the cultural tourism projects of Orange Construction, Orange Interactive Entertainment, and Chun Shen Central Office had caused quite a bit of trouble for the residents of the inner city.
Construction sites and demolition sites are everywhere. All the old houses from the 1970s, 80s and 90s have been completely demolished. The plan is to rebuild them into ancient-style buildings, combined with ancient buildings and city walls from the Song and Ming dynasties, and finally create a large-scale ancient-style amusement park.
Chen Guobin's old bookstore was also within the demolition area. Although a new bookstore was later opened, the location changed, and his emotional anchor was gone.
In the past, they would always open for business on time during winter and summer vacations, but now they only fish for three days and dry their nets for two, spending their time fishing with Wang Zhanjun.
Fortunately, with the arrival of his granddaughter, he finally found a source of emotional support again.
To put it nicely, he's a good person; to put it bluntly, he's a fool.
In Chen Yansen's view, Old Chen lived a decent life before the age of twenty, but after the age of twenty he was like a half-human being, never truly living a single day for himself.
But he was still his own father, so he couldn't be bothered to offer much advice; he just wanted the other person to be comfortable.
A few years ago, the more than 30 apartments in the salt company's dormitory building that he bought for Chen Guobin were just in time for this wave of demolition.
The demolition compensation alone amounted to more than ten million yuan, which is several times the purchase price.
Chen Yansen looked down on this amount of money, considering it only as retirement money for Old Chen.
Given Chen Guobin's spending habits, this sum of over ten million will only continue to grow.
Once you accumulate a certain amount of wealth, it's like having offspring; as long as you don't squander it recklessly, it's difficult to spend all your money on food and drink.
After breakfast, Meng Yun brought the keys over.
Chen Yansen took the keys and handed them to Chen Guobin: "Number 16 in the Changye Community next door is only three blocks away from here."
Chen Guobin didn't refuse and readily accepted it.
Staying at Yujing Villa is indeed a bit inconvenient.
at the same time.
Inside the Feixi breeding base, Qi Chuanjun was squatting on the edge of the field, carefully observing the growth of C4 soybeans.
Looking out, the entire soybean field was a golden expanse, with every pod plump and firm, clearly indicating that it was the perfect time to harvest.
With a "snap," he casually plucked a bean pod. The outer skin was crisp and tender. With a gentle crushing motion, three round beans fell into his palm.
These soybeans are plumper and brighter in color than ordinary soybeans, and when you look closely in the sunlight, they even have a faint sheen.
He turned to his assistant and instructed, "Quickly take samples and send them for testing. Measure the protein content, fat content, and disease resistance data."
Also, notify the harvesting team to begin harvesting promptly tomorrow morning.
The assistant left as instructed, but Qi Chuanjun remained standing on the edge of the field, gazing absently at the golden bean field.
This 1,600-mu soybean field is expected to yield 1,500 to 1,800 tons of soybeans.
The first batch of Ora Gold 940 soybeans was successfully harvested on the morning of the second day, with a total yield of 1,737.2 tons and a yield of 1,085 kilograms per acre.
After harvesting, soybeans immediately enter the washing and drying process. They are then screened in sequence through a sieve, gravity table, color sorter, and magnetic separator to remove impurities such as small grains, broken grains, insect-damaged grains, and mud. Finally, they are air-sieved again before being sent to a coating machine to evenly coat the soybean seeds with pesticides such as fludioxonil, metalaxyl, and imidacloprid, which can effectively prevent root rot and underground pests.
In short, every qualified soybean seed must undergo a series of strict processes, including field impurity removal, color sorting, moisture reduction to below 13%, coating, and germination rate testing. None of these processes can be omitted.
One mu (approximately 0.16 acres) of breeding land can yield about 1,000 kilograms of raw grain, but only 700 kilograms of finished product can be packaged into qualified commercial soybean seeds, resulting in a rejection rate as high as 30%.
Orange Bio's breeding bases in Feixi and Abyssinia cover a total area of nearly 300,000 mu. Based on the calculation that each mu requires 5 kg of soybean seeds, even if only half of the area is planted, 750 tons of soybean seeds would be needed.
This means that, after deducting the amount needed for its own planting, only 466 tons of soybean seeds remain to be sold as Orange Biotechnology's first product.
Compared to the global demand of 1.69 billion mu (approximately 103 million hectares) for soybean cultivation, these 466 tons of soybean seeds are simply a drop in the ocean.
Therefore, Chen Yansen decided to allocate 40% of the quota to overseas markets, with the overseas price set at US$20 per kilogram.
The domestic price is 100 yuan per kilogram, and distributors who obtain a sales license can enjoy a 10% discount on the purchase price.
Looking at the price difference alone, distributors can earn 10 yuan per kilogram, and it's a business that's guaranteed to make a profit.
In addition to the technical service fees for large-scale growers and the additional revenue from the sale of pesticides and fertilizers, whoever obtains the sales rights for Orange Biotechnology's products will have a stable channel to make money.
This has also made many local sanitation contractors who had previously given up on sanitation contracting completely let go of their resistance to Senlian Group.
More and more people are seeing the situation clearly and are willing to exchange their sanitation business for the sales rights of Orange Bio's products.
The first batch of soybean seeds was quickly sold out after it was put on the shelves.
Although the price of the soybeans is not low, Ora Gold 940 has an extremely high yield, far exceeding the average yield of 1,000 kilograms per acre.
On the international market, the average price of ordinary soybeans is about 2.6 yuan per kilogram, while Ora Gold 940 has a much higher protein and oil content than ordinary soybeans, so even if it is priced at 3 yuan, it is completely reasonable.
Of course, if tariffs, value-added tax and freight are added, the import price can soar to over 4 yuan.
The core issue at present is the limited soybean production, so major food importing countries around the world will still need to rely on imported soybeans in 2015-2016.
Meanwhile, Yanjing is holding a special meeting to include increasing soybean production capacity in its core plan for the next three years.
All of this can only be gradually implemented after the next soybean harvest.

...
On August 21, OFO officially launched three smart bicycles.
It supports anti-theft, navigation, music playback and real-time intercom functions, and is also equipped with a speed pacing device.
The aluminum alloy version is priced at 3,999 yuan, the carbon fiber version at 5,999 yuan, and the full carbon fiber version at a whopping 39,999 yuan.
In addition, car buyers will receive a one-year Pinduoduo Super Prime membership and up to three years of OFO bicycle riding vouchers.
The first batch of products is limited to 10,000 units and can be ordered online through the OFO online store or purchased at offline Orange Smart Living Stores.
What seemed like a "stray from the main business" crossover actually made sense to netizens after industry insiders explained it.
OFO bikes are no longer just a shared transportation service company, but have grown into a full-chain service provider integrating design, production, OEM and sales.
OFO has the largest bicycle production base in China in Tianjin. Its electric bicycle business is outsourced to Orange Bike Company. Even Didi Bike's bicycles are produced on OFO's production line.
From an industry perspective, the bike-sharing sector has entered a mature stage.
Although there are still more than a dozen brands active at present, it is clear to everyone that at most only three companies can survive in this field.
By handing over its core OEM business to OFO, Didi Bike has clearly "admitted defeat" in effect.
Whether a third leading company will emerge in the future is anyone's guess.
However, given the current situation, it is extremely difficult for new players to enter the market.
Since Ofo (the yellow bike-sharing company) went into a semi-disappearance state, the market has formed a duopoly between Ofo and Didi Bike. At this time, if anyone wants to enter the market and get a share, they will undoubtedly face enormous competitive pressure.
Half an hour later, Orange Technology officially announced the date of the new product launch: August 26 at the Luzhou International Conference Center.
It has been ten months since the last fall press conference.
Judging from the pace of new product launches, Orange Technology is clearly controlling the number of new products it releases, and it is highly likely that it will only hold this one new product launch event in 2015.
Frankly speaking, the performance of the Orange C5 and Yaocheng X3 models is still not outdated.
In addition, the excellent compatibility of the Aurora Future operating system ensures a smooth user experience.
But for core users who pursue the ultimate experience, they have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the new product.
After all, the typical sales cycle for a smartphone is usually six to ten months. The longer the lifespan, the better the market feedback for the product.
Why does Apple only hold one new product launch event a year, while Android brands, especially domestic Chinese mobile phone brands, can launch ten to thirty or even more models a year?
The core reason lies in the differences in business models, profit structures, and market positioning.
Simply put, Apple earns high profits by "high prices + low production," while Android brands survive by "high production + low prices" and high sales volume with low profit margins.
As the proportion of existing users of the Aurora Future system continues to increase, Orange Phone has achieved an industry position and confidence similar to Apple.
In overseas markets, Orange Technology can charge a technical service fee of 15% to 30% when users download paid applications or make in-app purchases, which is the core reason for the continuous increase in gross profit margin.
With the mobile phone industry already in an era of "performance overkill," coupled with a well-developed ecosystem and excellent system experience, users' willingness to upgrade their phones has significantly decreased.
Orange Technology doesn't need to stimulate the market by frequently releasing new products, since its ecosystem has already formed a "lock-in effect," and consumers are willing to patiently wait for new products.
At this time, Apple has not yet announced the date of its fall product launch event, which means that Orange Technology's new products will be launched before Apple's.
As soon as the news broke, domestic and international media and users focused their attention on next week's press conference.
Many people have already watched Tiangong Technology's new product launch and have a basic understanding of the 300 series processors, so they are naturally full of expectations for Orange Technology's new products.
What the outside world doesn't know is that Orange Technology has developed Aurora Genesis OS and is planning to enter the PC market.
That afternoon, the third batch of Ora Gold 940 soybeans went on sale and sold out immediately, just like before.
For soybean growers, although Ora Gold 940 is several tens of yuan more expensive per kilogram than similar products in Europe and the United States, its yield is more than three times higher.
When you calculate it that way, it's not expensive at all!
As for concerns that increased production might lead to a drop in purchase prices, growers were already prepared.
At worst, we can adjust the crops we plant later. Anyway, the first people to "eat the crab" will definitely make a fortune.
After learning that all 466 tons of soybean seeds had been sold out, Chen Yansen simply gave a soft "hmm" and gestured for Wang Guan on the other end of the phone to continue reporting.
This batch of soybeans was just a trial run, and the total revenue was less than 60 million.
When the next batch of C4 soybeans matures, Orange Bio will make its debut on the world stage of agrochemicals!
"Boss, some growers have reported that some distributors in Jiangcheng, Xucheng and other places have arbitrarily adjusted prices, raising the price of soybean seeds to 130 yuan per kilogram or even 150 yuan per kilogram."
Wang Guan's tone was somewhat solemn.
According to headquarters regulations, soybean prices are subject to unified control. Allowing distributors to raise prices arbitrarily will inevitably disrupt market order.
But "money moves people's hearts." With a price increase of 50 yuan per kilogram, plus the original supply price difference, one can earn 60 yuan per kilogram, and 60,000 yuan per ton.
With such high profits, it's inevitable that some people will take the risk.
"Act according to the contract: impose a fine of ten times the amount, refund ten times the amount, and at the same time revoke the local distribution management rights."
After a moment's thought, Chen Yansen said.
It must be said that he underestimated the greed of these people.
“Yes, boss.” Wang Guan replied immediately.
Following that, Wang Guan reported on the situation at the Australian ranch: the first batch of 100,000 beef cattle was about to be ready for slaughter.
"Get Huang Zheng and Pei Yi in touch and have them lead an online marketing campaign to raise awareness of the product first."
Chen Yansen gave the instructions.
When faced with dozens of different beef origins, consumers often prioritize price over quality when making their selection.
However, the beef produced by Orange Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Technology is competitive in both quality and price.
As long as you can open up the market, you won't have to worry about sales.
Moreover, Orange Farm adopts high-precision modern ranch management and will have ample soybean meal and silage in the future, so the production cost per kilogram of beef will only get lower and lower.
Chen Yansen originally planned to set up large-scale ranches in China, but after communicating with the central authorities in several regions, he failed to reach a cooperation agreement.
To put it bluntly, Senlian Group's rapid expansion in the beef, mutton, milk, and milk powder industries in recent years has threatened the interests of many traditional forces and made many enemies.
However, Chen Yansen didn't care. He would first improve his technology and accumulate experience overseas, and then he would have a chance to deal with these people in the future.
