Not long after, the convoy from Harvest Trading Company arrived.
Leading the way is a 7 Series BMW.
Followed by a dozen pickup trucks, filled with hundreds of people.
At the end were six or seven large trucks loaded with farming machinery.
The formation is huge and coming in a mighty manner.
At the entrance of the institute, the motorcade stopped.
The door of the BMW opened, and a bald young man stepped out first, it was Li Ba.
For today's negotiation, he specially changed his outfit.
He wears a white suit with a black vest underneath, and a gold necklace as thick as his thumb around his neck.
He is wearing a black mask, which makes him look a little different.
Li Ba was still very satisfied with his appearance.
In his words, his skills have at least improved several levels.
Generous Xiaofang, Shitou Fengxiaoyang, Liang Jie and other senior executives of the trading company all came.
Surrounded by everyone, Li Ba walked towards Liang Shaoping.
"Rubber" Han Xue looked at his nouveau riche outfit and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Major Liang" From afar, Li Ba started to greet him warmly.
Liang Shaoping smiled slightly and led people to greet him.
The two parties met and shook hands warmly.
Li Ba even hugged Wang Feng to show his affection.
After the greetings, Li Ba knew Liang Shaoping's character and didn't mince words.
He pointed to the side of the motorcade and said haha: "Major Liang, brother, I have all the men, horses and machines in place.
Can you please say something nice, do you want to rent this land?"
"Of course rent" Liang Shaoping smiled slightly: "Liang will not go back on the agreement reached in advance.
Apart from the business firm that rented the thousand acres of fertile land to my brother, there will not be another one."
The other party's reply still made Li Ba very satisfied.
Strike while the iron is hot, he winked and Xiao Fang immediately stepped forward and took out two drafted contracts.
"Since Major Liang is so happy, we might as well sign the contract now so that our brothers can settle in as soon as possible and reclaim the wasteland."
“No rush” With a faint smile on his face, Liang Shaoping said: "According to the prior agreement, Brother Li has done a great favor to our government by renting this land in the southern suburbs for free.
There is no problem.
However, this land also has many properties purchased by our government.
I'm afraid It needs to be explained clearly.”
The show is coming Li Ba took off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "No problem, you just report the number.
Our Fengshou Trading Company will not miss half a penny, so we will pay it all."
Liang Shaoping nodded after hearing this and turned to Han Xue.
The latter immediately stood up, took out a document, and began to read: "This land has seventeen hot spring wells dug by the government.
It is rich in water resources.
According to the strategic value, each well is worth at least one million kilograms of grain."
In addition, there is a small reservoir in the west, which is the only source of clean water in the West Port and has greater strategic value."
"Stop it" Li Ba couldn't listen anymore.
According to what Han Xue said, for a few broken wells and a small pond, he would ask for tens of millions of catties of food stamps.
It was clear that this deal couldn't be done.
"Major Liang" He looked at Liang Shaoping and said directly: "You can tell me what conditions you have."
I had known for a long time that it would not be easy for the government to rent this land to me.
Li Ba had been mentally prepared before coming.
As long as the other party's conditions were not harsh, everything would be easy to negotiate.

"readily" Liang Shaoping liked Li Ba's straightforward character very much.
Instead of hiding it, he directly stated the conditions: "This land is still rented to your Fengshou Trading Company for free, but the official needs to charge 50% of the income."
"Absolutely impossible" Li Ba flatly refused.
However, he kept his word and agreed to give the official 10% of the proceeds. “10% is too little” Liang Shaoping shook his head.
It is proposed that at least 40% is required.
"One and a half percent of your officials are already too much if you don't contribute people or efforts."
"Brother Thirty-and-a-half percent, you have to understand that the land belongs to us officially."
The two began to bargain and argue.
But at the same time, they leave room for each other.
Eventually, they reached a compromise.
Thousands of acres of wasteland were handed over to Harvest Trading Company for reclamation free of charge.
After deducting all costs, the government collected 25% of the proceeds, and the rest belonged to Harvest Trading Company.
"Beauty Han, it seems that you have made quite a lot of research achievements at my place recently." conditions met.
Li Ba turned to Han Xue and said with a half-smile.
He knew in his heart that the reason why Liang Shaoping proposed to expropriate land harvests was definitely related to this woman.
Most likely, this woman deduced from the experimental fields in her botanical garden that she had cultivated new grain species.
Once a thousand acres of uncultivated land are cultivated and planted with new grains, the harvest will be huge.
This is why Liang Shaoping worked so hard to get 25% of the profits at the risk of breaking his promise.
Han Xue blushed and said nothing.
"Also, brother Li, you will need a lot of manpower to reclaim this land."
The agreement on income distribution does not mean the end of Liang Shaoping's conditions.
At this moment, he looked at Li Ba with a smile on his face and suddenly asked about manpower.
"Well, we need a lot of people."
Li Ba's mind was racing, trying to figure out the intention of the other party's words, and then he said slowly: "But there is not much gap.
After all, we are now focusing on mechanical farming, and just recruiting a few hundred people in the city should be enough."
"I want you to recruit three thousand people."
Liang Shaoping stared at Li Ba and said slowly.
This was his last condition, requiring Li Ba to recruit 3,000 people from the refugee camp outside the city to cultivate land and be responsible for the food rations of these refugees.
After hearing this, Li Ba was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "Three thousand people are too many for me to support."
Originally, even if Liang Shaoping did not mention this condition, Li Ba decided to recruit a thousand people from the refugee camp outside the city.
A thousand acres of wasteland, one person per acre, and farming machinery should be enough.
Now, Liang Shaoping proposed to let his trading company recruit 3,000 refugees to cultivate the land.
It's not that Li Ba can't afford it, but he doesn't want to reveal his trump card too early and give the other party a chance to take advantage.
"The official can provide a subsidy of thirty kilograms of grain per person per year, or reduce the land income by half."
Liang Shaoping may also feel that his request is a bit harsh, so he takes a back seat and is willing to provide subsidies.
Just waiting for your words
Li Ba secretly laughed in his heart, but his face remained calm.
He thought for a while and said, "Let's reduce the income.
Half a percent is too little, so reduce it by 20%.
I can recruit 3,000 people from the refugee camp, mainly women and children.
And ensure that they can live a stable life and no longer suffer from hunger.”
The official subsidies sounded good at first, but Li Ba knew that they were incomparable with the benefits he could get from farming a large area.
What he has to do at the moment is to keep the official commission on land revenue as low as possible, so that his own firm can obtain maximum benefits.
"With a thousand acres of fields, if the yield per mu is 800 kilograms, there will be at least 400 to 500 tons of grain production in one season."
Liang Shaoping settled an account for Li Ba.

Compared with the official subsidies given to refugees, it is only 40 to 50 tons per year.
And the income extracted from Li Ba can reach this amount in one day.
Naturally, he would not accept a 20% reduction in income.
Of course, Liang Shaoping didn't say anything.
Li Ba has his own way of solving the problem.
"I don't want to hide it.
I have cultivated a new grain species, but it is still in the experimental stage.
Who can guarantee that if I plant it, I will have a good harvest?"
When Li Ba said this, he glanced at Han Xue inadvertently and said, "With luck, maybe The grain harvest can reach the 800 kilograms per mu you mentioned, Major Liang.
If we are unlucky, there may be no grain harvest.
At that time, I will have to feed 3,000 people.
Have you ever calculated the burden for our firm?
"This account" What he said makes sense.
Even Han Xue was speechless to refute.
After all, new grain varieties need to be planted on a large scale to know whether they are successful or not.
After hearing this, Liang Shaoping glanced at Han Xue.
Han Xue nodded.
"Okay, I will rent this land to you for free.
Your Harvest Trading Company must recruit 3,000 refugees.
The official will only take 10% of the profit," Liang Shaoping decided.
This is his final line.
"make a deal" A smile appeared on Li Ba's face.
The contract was signed quickly.
The employees of Harvest Trading Company immediately became busy.
Some drove to survey the surrounding terrain, while others unloaded farming machinery from trucks.
Li Ba and Liang Shaoping stood side by side.
"Major Liang, since you care about the refugees, why don't you open a warehouse to release food so that they can all live a good life?"
Li Ba asked lightly.
As far as he knew, since the capture of Wujiang Town, official food stocks had increased significantly, enough to feed all survivors inside and outside the city for three to five years.
However, refugees outside the city are still the ones abandoned by the government, but the situation is slightly better.
The government will give out a bowl of rice porridge at a fixed time every day, so that the old, weak, women and children can barely maintain their lives.
“Officials have official difficulties” Liang Shaoping sighed lightly, with a heavy face, and said slowly: "Before stable food resources are found, reserve grain for ten years.
This is the consensus reached by all members of the Management Committee.
In the end of the world, human beings are the greatest resource.
If it is possible , I don’t want to give up on my own kind, but sometimes I have to be cruel.”
Li Ba nodded.
At this moment, he somewhat understood Liang Shaoping, and understood why the authorities turned away a large number of refugees from the city.
In the final analysis, it was for the continuation of human civilization.
Those who achieve great things sometimes have to be ruthless and sacrifice some people to help others. s: Regarding the update issue, Ninto said earlier that updates will be released after the book is released.
