Chapter 383 Selling Grain Seeds
Miao Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at them: "What are you missing now?"
"There are many materials in the country, but we don't have enough technology to purify them." Si Tian was helpless.
"Brother Mayang said that the electric furnace can make Gang Gang stronger."
"Teacher Fu also said that." Juanjuan lay on the table and played with the silver dollar in his hand.
"Juanjuan, did you say that Brother Mayang and Teacher Fu were talking about the electric stove?" Siming looked down at her.
Juanjuan nodded her head: "Yes!"
"Atian, go call Achen and ask him." Siming also wanted to know what it was.
Si Tian stood up and called Si Jinchen.
After a while, the two of them entered the study together.
"Dad, are you looking for me?" Si Jinchen saw that his uncle and Juanjuan were there too.
"Achen, did Juanjuan say that Frank told you about the method to improve the quality of steel?" Siming looked at him.
"The teacher did tell me that we just need a power system. I want to wait until Grandpa Wen's hydroelectric power station is almost built before I tell you."
"Electric stoves are easy to buy now. They're on the list Uncle Pete gave me."
"There's a power shortage in the country right now. This electric stove hasn't been sold since he brought it here, so it should be easy to buy."
Si Jinchen told what he knew in a clear and organized manner.
Miao Jiu was a little surprised after hearing this: "Achen, how do you know this?"
"When we went to the valley, I asked Grandpa Wen, and he said the domestic power system is not yet able to supply such equipment."
"So I guess the electric furnace he brought with him wasn't sold. If he were to ship it back, not only would it be expensive, he would have to pay for it."
"If Dad wants to buy it, he should be able to buy it at a very low price."
Si Jinchen told us about his analysis.
Si Tian was a little surprised: "Did you know the rest from the notebook?"
Si Jinchen nodded: "Brother Mayang also has a teacher in the military academy who has studied abroad. He will also tell me what he has learned."
Siming was very pleased looking at his son in front of him.
"Ah Tian, please find some time to contact them. You can buy it now without waiting for the hydropower station to be built."
Si Tian nodded: "Okay, I will contact him soon and buy the electric furnace as soon as possible."
Miao Jiu also thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to take Ning and the three children back to the Miao family's old house to live for a while."
Siming heard it but said nothing: "By the way, it has been a long time since the rain in the south. If it continues without rain, I am afraid there will be a drought next year."
"Brother, are you worried that they will come to you for help?" Si Tian looked at him and asked.
"This is a good opportunity to give money." Miao Jiu leaned back on the sofa.
"It is the common people who die from the high price." Sima Ming looked at him and said.
Miao Jiu raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "What do you think?"
"It's too early to say this now. We'll have to wait until next year's spring plowing. We'll need to prepare more rice seedlings for next year's spring plowing, and then continue planting after they mature."
"I plan to plant two crops of rice and two crops of wheat next year and store as much grain as possible."
"I agree with this. The Cai family can also consider growing high-yield wheat. We can also let them save some."
Miao Jiu slapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers.
"Brother, we've sent all the grain we should have. If their grain production increases next year, are you really planning to sell it to them?"
Si Tian remembered what he had promised before.
"We'll talk about this later. We can still postpone it for two years. Let's deal with the current issues first."
Sima Ming was not sure either, so he could only take it one step at a time.
Juanjuan pulled Siming's hand and said, "Dad, don't you want more food?"
Siming rubbed her little head: "No, I just don't want bad people to have too much food."
"Then we won't let those with bad intentions have much food, and make sure they get nothing." Juanjuan said seriously.
The eyes of Si Ming and the other two flashed slightly. With Juanjuan's words, could they sell the grain seeds to others?
Several people looked at each other and began to plan their next step tacitly.
"Commander-in-Chief, General Chen called to see you. He sounded very anxious."
The butler stood at the door and reported.
Siming put Juanjuan on the ground and said, "Juanjuan and brother go play first."
Si Jinchen pulled Juanjuan and ran out of the study.
Siming walked downstairs and answered the phone: "What are you looking for me about so urgently?"
"Someone from the Taisho Chamber of Commerce came to me and wanted to buy the grain seeds at a high price. The price was very high."
Chen Yongnian stated his purpose directly.
"It seems that since the Northern Government couldn't buy grain seeds, they decided to take action themselves." Si Ming guessed that they were the ones behind the Northern Government.
"What are your plans? Or are you going to answer as you said before?" Chen Yongnian asked.
Siming thought of what Juanjuan said, his eyes flickered slightly, and he decided to believe what Juanjuan said: "No, this time we will sell grain seeds."
Chen Yongnian was about to nod and say he understood, but he was stunned for a moment and then immediately realized: "What did you say?"
"When I say sell, remember to give yourself a good deal and negotiate a higher price."
“But the rhetoric remains the same: there is no guarantee of high productivity.”
Siming didn't believe that he couldn't kill the people of Da Zheng Chamber of Commerce.
"Aren't you sure?" Chen Yongnian was talking about grain production.
"Are you really planning to sell the grain seeds to the people at Dazheng Trading Company?"
Chen Yongnian couldn't quite understand him.
"Yes. Not just for people from Taisho Trading Company, I'll sell it to anyone who offers a high price. But it's first come, first served. After all, there are only so many of them."
Siming spoke to him with a smile.
Chen Yongnian no longer hesitated. Since Siming dared to say so, he must have his own plans. He just needed to spread the news and reap the benefits.
He found that after he became friends with the Si family, his money seemed to be increasing.
Every time he saw people rushing to give him money, he wanted to laugh out loud.
A few days later, Chen Yongnian personally came to find Siming and said, "Dazheng Chamber of Commerce asked me to come and negotiate the price."
Seeing the smile on his face, Siming knew that he must have received a lot of bribes: "How much did they give?"
"One stone is sixty silver dollars." Chen Yongnian raised his chin proudly.
Siming couldn't help but whistle: "What a good price."
You should know that the price of grain seeds in the market is only five silver dollars per stone.
Now the price offered by Chen Yongnian has more than increased tenfold.
"How did you convince them to buy it at such a good price?"
Sima Ming is extremely curious now.
"The Taisho Empire was an island nation with limited acreage, so high-yield grain was a lifeline for them."
"Even though they don't know if they can grow it, they always have hope, don't they?"
Chen Yongnian said with a smile.
"Okay, how much do they want?" Siming didn't waste any words.
"Although the price they offered is high, the quantity they purchased is not large, so they must be holding back." Chen Yongnian said and gave him a number.
Sima Ming sneered: "Not too stupid, I didn't gamble on something uncertain."
"Let them prepare the money, and then we can come to get the grain seeds." The grain seeds that Siming gave them would definitely not be high-yield seeds.
