Lu Qiuyu looked at Chu Tianyao with some frustration.
"Director Harrick doesn't seem to believe what you say. It seems that the plan you wrote is a bit too scary."
Lu Qiuyu had read the plan, and obviously she also thought that Chu Tianyao was trying to draw a pie to Harry, and she still drew a big pie.
You know, according to market reports, the price of hops purchased by major beer companies in Xijiang is only more than 1,000 yuan per acre. Chu Tianyao directly drew a pie with an income of 10,000 yuan per acre.
How to make people dare to believe it.
"Really? But I don't think so."
Chu Tianyao stretched out his hand to hail a taxi, with a smile on his lips.
Contrary to Lu Qiuyu's thoughts, Chu Tianyao felt that Harik would be very interested in his plan.
If the other party can sit in the position of director of the investment promotion bureau, he should be able to judge the authenticity of Chu Tianyao's plan with his knowledge and vision.
After a while, a taxi took them away.
Chu Tianyao did not return to Kunlun Hotel, but let the taxi driver take him to a car rental company in the city.
Using his ID card and driver's license, Chu Tianyao rented a Xiali car.
"Why are you renting a car?"
When driving out of the car rental company, Lu Qiuyu sat in the passenger seat and looked at Chu Tianyao with some confusion.
"Thanks to you, you studied market economics abroad. Don't you even know the most basic market research?"
As the car drove on the road, Chu Tianyao smiled at Lu Qiuyu.
"Market research?" Lu Qiuyu opened her eyes with confusion, "In such a big place, where are you going to do research?"
Lu Qiuyu seemed to be unable to keep up with Chu Tianyao's thoughts, and saw the car speeding through the city.
…
Xijiang is located in Changji Autonomous Prefecture northwest of Wulu City.
It was only more than thirty kilometers away from the urban area of Ulu, and Chu Tianyao drove for less than half an hour before the two of them entered the city.
After some inquiring, Chu Tianyao drove another twenty minutes to a place called Xingfu Village, Erliugong Town.
I heard that many villagers here are planting hops.
Investigating them is one of Chu Tianyao's purposes here.
Sure enough, when Chu Tianyao entered Xingfu Village, he discovered that many farmers planted hops in their farmlands, commonly known as Qingdao Big Flower.
This is the first new type of bitter hop cultivated in China after the introduction of hop cultivation from the United States in 1937. It was named Qingdao Dahua and was later popularized for cultivation across the country.
However, the conditions for growing hops are harsh. At present, 70% of the suitable planting areas in the country are in Western Xinjiang. Unfortunately, it seems that Western Xinjiang has not yet completely started the trend of large-scale hop planting.
"Look over there, that's the German."
In the car, Lu Qiuyu suddenly pointed at the field ahead, and saw a tall man with a bald head talking to a few locals who looked like villagers.
"Why is this guy here too!"
Ever since he knew that this German named Sis also came here for hops, Chu Tianyao naturally became wary of this man.
"Go down and have a look!"
Parking the car aside, Chu Tianyao and Lu Qiuyu walked towards the crowd, and then heard the argument among several people.
"This foreigner is really crazy. He said he wants us to shovel everything in the field and plant the foreign hop seeds he gave us."
"That's right, people in our village are really easy to deceive. Planting hops is only worth a few dollars, but growing cotton is not valuable."
In the crowd, several villagers looked at Sith with somewhat unkind eyes.
The German Sisi seemed to be still discussing something with one of them.
"Chief Ayireti, as long as you listen to me and plant the hop seeds we give you, we will purchase them at a price higher than the market price next year, ensuring that they are worth more than the cotton you grow."
Sisi kept gesticulating with his hands and spoke in Chinese with some difficulty in speaking.
Standing in front of him was an old man with a wrinkled face and a Xinjiang flower hat.
The old man's Mandarin was obviously not very good. After understanding what Sith said, he waved his hand and refused.
"Mr. Sis, the hops we grow are all domestic. We don't understand your foreign seeds and won't grow them!"
The village chief Aiyireti waved his hand, obviously unmoved by Sith's suggestion of cooperation.
Hearing this, Sith also looked frustrated.
Cooperation could not be negotiated. In addition to his identity as a foreign devil, there were many reasons. It was obviously not something he could do in a few words to make the local villagers change their views on hop planting.
After all, cotton and potatoes are the real benefits for everyone, and there is no need to worry about selling them. However, the cultivation of hops has to wait until breweries come to buy them every year, and the prices are often suppressed, so not only the locals in the village, but also other people
The same is true for local growers.
This is also an important reason why the scale of hop planting has always been limited.
In the crowd, Chu Tianyao understood the purpose of the German after hearing the argument between the two.
It's no wonder that this guy won't succeed. Although the Germans are meticulous in their work, they still lack a lot of enthusiasm when it comes to marketing.
"Chief Ayireti, I think I can talk to you about purchasing hops."
Chu Tianyao stood outside the crowd and shouted at the old man wearing a flower hat.
Hearing this, everyone in the crowd subconsciously turned their heads to look at Chu Tianyao.
I saw Chu Tianyao holding a Motorola mobile phone in his left hand, playing with the car keys in his right hand, and followed by a female secretary carrying a handbag. He looked like a nouveau riche in the 1990s.
Everyone's eyes also noticed the Xiali sedan parked behind Chu Tianyao.
Even for Xia Li, this would cost a lot of money.
"Who are you?"
As Chu Tianyao entered the venue, the crowd dispersed automatically. The leader Aiyireti glanced at Chu Tianyao and asked curiously.
In a small place like theirs, you don't usually see such big foreign bosses.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the general manager of Xingyao Winery. This is my business card."
Chu Tianyao smiled at a few people and said that Lu Qiuyu, who was beside him, also instantly entered the role of female secretary and handed the business card in the bag to Aiyireti's hand.
"Xingyao... Liquor Industry... General Manager Chu Tianyao?"
It seemed that it was a little difficult to recognize a few words on the business card. Ayireti looked at the delicate business card in his hand, and the look in Chu Tianyao's eyes was obviously a little different.
He had seen businessmen from other places who came to buy hops, but he had never seen anyone with Chu Tianyao's demeanor.
The simple villagers subconsciously felt that Chu Tianyao in front of them was very extraordinary.
"You just said you wanted to buy our hops?"
Ayireti asked Chu Tianyao on behalf of the curious villagers.
"That's right. I can charge you as much hops as you want in your village. Price doesn't matter."
Since he is playing the role of a nouveau riche, he must have the style of a nouveau riche. Chu Tianyao waved his hand and said proudly to the people in front of him.
Upon hearing this, many people in the venue became interested.
