Born with rich bones

Hu Shurong pulled Tang Shuyu away in embarrassment and annoyance, and threw all the sugar cane that Luo Bai gave to the ground.

This scene was seen by the neighbors, which refreshed their understanding of Hu Shurong.

Luo Bai was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the entrance of the alley.

Xu's mother didn't go far, she hid at the entrance of the alley and peeked, when she met those cold black pupils suddenly, she was shocked.

After reacting, he spat out jealously: "Evil things."

So smart, I'm afraid he was taken over by mountain elves and ghosts.

Luo Jin admitted his mistake in front of Luo Mu, and gave Luo Yin a wink to ask her to coax Luo Mu into the house.Then squatted down and hugged Luo Laibao for a plastic sisterhood, and stole the only candy left in her pocket.

Luo Laibao yelled angrily, "Brother Bao, my eldest sister bullied me!"

Luo Jin giggled: "Luo Laibao, have you forgotten that Dabao looted all the candy you have in your daily bag? You still ask him for help, remember to eat or not to beat——Bao, Brother Bao?"

Luo Bai lowered his glasses and looked down at Luo Jin condescendingly: "Last night, Mom and Teacher Li paid New Year's greetings and chatted for a while. Teacher Li also told you about your final exam results. The nine test papers are all the way, and only the Chinese is a pass."

There was no ups and downs in the tone, too calm to hear joy.At the end, he nodded: "Not bad."

Luo Jin is now a freshman in high school, but in the first semester, he only passed Chinese in nine subjects.It is conceivable that there will be a lot of delays in the division of arts and sciences in the next semester.

Luo Bai: "Next semester, arts and sciences will be divided into subjects, right?"

Luo Jin has always only looked up to Luo Baima, and he respects and fears him.Hearing this, he quickly rubbed his hands to please his face: "Brother Bao, you know that my grades are poor and I can't continue to study. When I was admitted to high school, Luo Yin and you helped me mark the key points for review, or else, they also marked for me during the college entrance examination." ?”

Luo Bai's cold and stern eyes immediately shot towards him, and he smiled angrily: "Why don't you help you finish all your high school courses and take the college entrance examination by the way, and it's best to go to college for you?"

Luo Jin is as courageous as a bear, and she doesn't dare to tease a tiger's beard at this moment, so she shook her head repeatedly: "How can I trouble Brother Bao? I will do all the hard work and tiring work. You can just make a point—no, no, I'm going to study now."

Luo Bai raised his legs and walked into the house, saying as he walked, "If it's the third year of high school, my second sister and I can't save you even Wenquxing descends to earth. Fortunately, it's the first year of high school, and we can still be saved if we work hard."

Luo Jin followed behind, and suddenly had an ominous premonition when he heard the words: "Then there is no need to save, you can find a good job with a high school diploma."

In another ten years, even college students will not be popular, let alone a high school diploma?

Luo Bai laughed twice, and didn't answer her, but said directly: "From today on, your homework will be supervised by me and the second sister. The second sister is busy with studies, so I will focus on the key points and take charge of tutoring." He Although he is only in the third year of junior high school, he has already completed all the courses of the first year of high school by himself. "In two and a half years, I guarantee that you will be admitted to a university. The university doesn't have to be very good, Yanda will do."

Luo Jin almost suspected that his ears were ringing. He stared at Luo Bai who was not joking at all, and shouted: "Isn't it good to call Yan University? Mom, Brother Bao is crazy."

Yanda, located in the imperial capital, is one of the best universities in the country.In the entire Xiling Village, there has not been a single student who went to Yanda for 30 years.Not to mention Xiling, even in the whole city, there have only been two or three winners, and they are all city champions.

She went to Yanda University as a scumbag, and the difficulty was equivalent to turning Xiling Village into Xiling City.

Luo Bai picked his ears, and said, "Don't be too confident in yourself, because it's far easier to turn Xiling Village into Xiling City than to enlighten you." He turned around and announced, "That's the decision, two Sister, please supervise."

Luo Yin smiled softly: "No problem. I was also worried about my eldest sister's study."

Luo's mother also agreed with both hands: "Dabao's words, it will definitely work. Luo Jin, study hard from now on, your father and I will urge you."

Luo Laibao jumped up and raised his hand: "And me!"

Luo Jin let out a wail, dejected and dispirited.

This move caused everyone to laugh, but it dispelled the haze caused by Hu Shurong and Tang Shuyu.

After Guo Tongda watched this scene, he unconsciously had a smile on his face.

He didn't have a deep understanding of the Luo family, and he didn't have as bad a impression of Father Luo as the village head than other villagers.

He believes that Luo's father has no actual achievements at present, which does not mean that he is incompetent.

Guo Tongda has planted sugar cane for half his life, and also pays attention to current affairs from time to time. He naturally noticed the impact of the policy on the country's future economy and agriculture.

The villagers rushed to plant sugar cane, resulting in an oversupply of sugar and a sharp drop in prices.To make matters worse, the sugar mills have no market channels, so sugar cannot be sold even if the price plummets.

There are thousands of tons of sugar piled up in the factory, nearly half of which belong to Guo Tongda.Because he contracted most of the land in Xiling Village to grow sugar cane, he also owed a lot of debts for leased land and wages for workers.

Obviously, Guo Tongda should be more anxious than others.

When he heard Luo Bai talk about turning Xiling Village into a city, Guo Tongda couldn't stop laughing, thinking that young people are really whimsical.

Changing from a village to a city requires a transition from a county to a city.This requires the economy and population to meet certain standards, but the most important thing is to support policies.Supportive policies are issued and vigorously developed. After the economy rises, the population is attracted, and the population drives the economy. Continue to issue policies to support development, and finally develop into a city.

Speaking of which, Haishi is a typical representative of the successful transformation from a village to a city.If Xiling Village is transformed into a city, it is most likely to be divided into several areas and merged into Haishi and Guangshi.

Guo Tongda shook his head, thinking that thinking about it now is actually a whimsical idea, and he can't even get over the current predicament.

Thinking of this, Guo Tongda felt heavy.

While teaching Luo Jin a lesson, Luo Bai always paid attention to Guo Tongda. When he saw the gloomy look on his face, he guessed that he must also be affected by the opening of the sugar market.

In his original memory, Guo Tongda did not choose to believe in Tang Zhen, but resolutely left Xiling Village to visit the market in Haishi, and was finally dragged into a sales channel by him.

Therefore, he was the only person in the village who did not sell sugar cane, finished sugar products and land at a low price, and made a small fortune and got the first pot of gold.

However, according to Luo Bai's current memory, Guo Tongda is still at a loss.

Because two months later, due to the loss of control of the sugar market, the state began to intervene in regulation, and the price of sugar soared to a record high.Those who got the news in advance were frantically buying sugar, such as the sales channel introduced by Tang Zhen.

That person got the inside information, bought sugar frantically, and deceived the villagers of Xiling Village, who are completely insensitive to the market and politics, by fraudulent means, and bought a large amount of sugar and sugar cane at a price lower than [-]% of the current market price.During the sugar boom period, he quickly sold out and obtained a large amount of funds. He took advantage of the trend to board the train of the golden development period and became one of the famous rich people in the whole country in later generations.

Mother Luo wanted to pay for the sugar cane, but was rejected by Guo Tongda, who said, "It's a gift during the Chinese New Year."

Mother Luo: "Why is that so embarrassing?" Seeing that she couldn't refuse, she said, "Otherwise, stay and have a cup of tea before leaving. Lao Luo will be back soon. Just chat, just to talk about the stranded sugar factory. Thousands of tons of sugar."

Regarding the sugar factory, Guo Tongda immediately hesitated.

Luo Bai said: "Uncle Guo, sit down. It's time to talk about the sales channels of sugar."

What was mentioned was the most worrying thing in his heart, so Guo Tongda agreed: "Okay, I will sit down."

Father Luo returned home soon. He didn't know anything about Luo Jin and Tang Shuyu yet, but he sat down when he saw Guo Tongda.The two chatted about the current situation over tea. While chatting, Luo's father changed the subject: "I know what you are worried about, and I am also worried."

Guo Tongda was silent for a moment, and said: "There is no rush for these things. No one expected that the wind of marketing reform would hit the sugar industry, so it was caught off guard. In just half a year, the price of sugar plummeted, and even a marketing channel could not be found. .”

Half a year ago, people were happy and planted sugar cane in large quantities.Who would have expected that in just half a year, sugar prices would plummet and marketing reforms would make sugar a slow-moving product.

Father Luo: "There is no movement from above, and the people are restless. I am afraid that the price of sugar will be lower than the market price, and they are willing to sell it."

It was already a loss, and if the price is lowered, it will be even more loss.However, it is better than losing everything.

The balance in Luo's father's heart is inclined to the sales channel proposed by Tang Zhen. Right now, as long as he can get through the predicament, it will be fine.If there is another way, he will not delay it until now.

Guo Tongda didn't know what Luo's father was thinking, so he echoed, "It's better to stop the loss in time than to lose everything. I plan to go to Haishi. Since there is no market channel, I should find it myself. Reform and opening up is the only way to go." , In the long run, this is a road to strengthen the country and enrich the people. In the future, it is inevitable for all walks of life to actively explore the market. The risks are great and the opportunities are even greater.”

Father Luo listened and nodded: "Reform, open up. The first to be reformed is agriculture. The thing that needs reform most is actually agriculture. Now that the country's attention is on urban economic development, more people will yearn for opportunities in economic zones. .However, farmers are the foundation of the country. Agricultural reform is also imminent.”

After listening to their chat quietly, Luo Bai was shocked by the insights of Luo's father and Guo Tongda.

Needless to say, Guo Tongda must have his own merits to be able to become one of the famous sugar kings in later generations.What surprised Luo Bai was that he could see father Luo's words very clearly.

In my memory, Father Luo was a good man who loved his family and cared for his wife and children.At the same time, he is also a loyal, honest, kind-hearted old man.

Therefore, Luo Bai ignored his outstanding gaze far ahead of the times.

Luo Bai suddenly remembered that in the original story, Luo's father had doubts about Tang Zhen from the beginning to the end.If it wasn't for the villagers' coercion, but Tang Zhen deliberately led the villagers to think about the entanglement between Luo Jin and Tang Shuyu, I am afraid that Tang Zhen would not have been able to deceive Xiling Village into a large amount of land so easily.

Luo Bai sat by the side and listened to the two chatting, adding tea and water for them from time to time.

Father Luo hesitated for a moment, then said: "I have established a market channel here, and it was my brother-in-law who set the bridge. I heard that it is a sugar seller in Baping City. The price is [-]% lower than the current market price. Although there are It means taking advantage of people’s danger, but if sugar prices fall again and again, I’m afraid they won’t be able to recover in a short time.”

Sugar should not be stored for a long time, and it will not be delayed until the price rises.

Guo Tongda showed emotion.

Luo Bai was not surprised by this, the original track did not have the conversation between Guo Tongda and Luo's father.

When the sugar seller in Baping City and Tang Zhen came to Xiling Village to sign a contract, Tang Zhen incidentally coaxed the villagers to lease the land.It was only then that Guo Tongda became suspicious, and went to Haishi to find a market.

Luo Bai put down his tea and said, "Dad, Uncle Guo, if I say that the price of sugar will rise again soon, do you believe me?"

Luo's father and Guo Tongda were astonished. Guo Tongda didn't believe it, but Luo's father didn't.Accustomed to his son's intelligence, Luo's father has always treated him as an adult, and usually accepts his opinions, and this time is no exception.

"Is there any basis?"

Guo Tongda was speechless immediately, Luo Bai was smart and had heard about it, but no matter how smart he was, he was still a 14-year-old boy.Why did Village Chief Luo really believe it?

Luo Bai: "There are two reasons. One is that the state regulates and intervenes in the market. The opening of the sugar market and the collapse of the original distribution model lead to chaos in the sugar market. If the state does not intervene in regulation, the sugar industry will continue to be in turmoil and cannot recover in a short time. The second is The current sugar market is in short supply, once the state regulates and the market stabilizes, the price of sugar will skyrocket, and it may even skyrocket to the highest in history.”

Guo Tongda interrupted him: "Wait—the sugar market is in short supply?" He said disapprovingly: "Luo Bai, the situation should be just the opposite."

"Uncle Guo, the oversupply situation only occurs in the south." Luo Bai took out the data sheet that was just completed two days ago from under the table, put it in front of the two of them and said, "In the original agricultural business model, the farmers who planted, the second processing The factory is completely disconnected from the market. Of course, this situation does not only happen in Xiling Village, but throughout the country, affecting the entire business market and all walks of life.”

"Waihe City, known as the 'Sugar City' in the north, has reduced production this year. After losing money last year, a large number of local farmers no longer planted or reduced the planting of sugar cane. The 'Sugar City' in the North and the 'Sweet City' in the South Each occupies half of the country's sugar industry, but this year, half of the country has collapsed, and the rest will dominate the country?"

After all, the north is closer to the imperial capital, and it is faster to obtain policy information, and the impact is one step ahead of them.The sugarcane farmers in the south have just been affected, while the sugarcane farmers in the north have already suffered heavy losses.

"For Xiling Village and the South, the supply of sugar is indeed in excess, but nationwide, the supply of sugar is in short supply, and it is the most scarce in history. The country even needs to import to balance the market demand for sugar."

Guo Tongda and Father Luo were overwhelmed and excited when they heard it. They were not idiots, so they naturally understood what it meant.

How big is Huaguo?What is the population?And sugar is the daily necessities of the people all over the country, and it exists like salt.

The dishes on the table, the sweets in the window, the pastries at the banquet...

Hotels, department stores, retail stores, restaurants...

Sugar plays an extremely important role in our daily life, and its presence is almost everywhere.

When the country needs to import to balance the market demand for sugar, it shows how much sugar is in short supply!

The so-called rare goods can live, which means that sugar will usher in a period of skyrocketing prices.The signal of the arrival of this period is the attitude of the country.

Guo Tongda and Luo's father scrambled to grab the data sheet that Luo Bai put on the table and read it hungrily. The more they read, the more excited they became.

It is saved, the sugar industry in Xiling Village is saved!

Father Luo barely suppressed his excitement, and asked Luo Bai, "Dabao, how did you get these data? Is it credible?"

Luo Bai: "Didn't our family subscribe to "Agricultural News" and "Agricultural Science Journal" every month? In addition to publishing the latest agricultural research results, it also has information related to the agricultural market. Basically, after reading it, if you connect it, it will probably be It can be guessed. And this conclusion was mentioned in the "Agricultural Daily" last week. I have improved the conclusion and supplemented it with accurate and detailed data to make sure it is correct."

After all, it was born through birth, even if there is no memory of the previous life, there is no lack of sensitivity and wisdom that should be there.

Even without the memory given by the system, he also came to the conclusion that the price of sugar has skyrocketed.

Luo Bai took a sip of tea and sighed contentedly: "After all, I am a genius, and I will never bury my aura of genius wherever I go."

Guo Tongda: "..."

It is true to say so, but is it really okay to boast so seriously?

Beside him, Luo's father was full of pride, and said proudly, "My son is smart."

Guo Tongda: "..." Let's continue to read the data sheet.

Luo Bai put down his teacup and got up: "You guys read the data sheet slowly, I'll go upstairs first. By the way, don't let this matter out, keep it secret."

Father Luo and Guo Tongda naturally knew how to measure such an important matter.

This matter is still speculation at present, although it is safe, it is best not to reveal half of it.So as not to cause unnecessary trouble and accident.

Luo Bai: "There is one more thing. After the sugar industry turmoil, can Dad and Uncle Guo come to a correct conclusion?"

Hearing this, Father Luo and Guo Tongda looked at each other in blank dismay, momentarily puzzled.

Father Luo was the first to ask: "Dabao, what are you trying to imply to us?" He waved his hand: "Don't hide it, just say it."

Guo Tongda was thoughtful: "Is it related to the market?"

A thought vaguely appeared in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.

Luo Bai flicked his finger: "That's right. The whole country has encountered this sugar industry turmoil, but the most fundamental reason is not a policy issue, but our ignorance of the market. Farmers, secondary processing sugar factories, I don’t have the slightest understanding of the market, so I can’t find supply and marketing channels.”

If there is no state regulation this time, the entire southern sugar industry will remain sluggish for a long time.

Because it is those supply and marketing merchants who have mastered and understood the market that really make money, and the sugar mills and sugarcane farmers who are out of the market will all be hit so that they will no longer have the confidence to plant.

If he hadn't sorted out the conclusions in advance, the entire Xiling Village would have suffered heavy losses.

If you want to carry out agricultural reform, then mastering the market is the first step.
