"I have long said that stocking one thousand units is not enough. Even in the early stage, at least five thousand units must be stocked. Otherwise, it will not be able to meet the huge demand of the market!"
"These are seven provinces in North America. They are vast and sparsely populated. Every household has hundreds or even hundreds of acres of land. Some families with large families even own thousands of acres of land. Their demand for steam tractors is huge.
!”
"Especially for those families with hundreds or even thousands of acres of land, for them, steam tractors are a must!"
"Even other families with less land can still run their farms in partnership, so it is normal to buy a steam tractor!"
This young man's words aroused dissatisfaction from others!
It sounds like no one knows the huge market potential in the seven provinces of North America, but when you say you have 5,000 units in stock, you mean 5,000 units.
How much money must be accumulated here!
Even if you don't talk about money, you think that steam engine tractors are just cabbage, and you can get as much as you want. The steam tractor manufacturers in the empire can only produce so much a year, and these outputs are basically expected to supply the local market.
Many places such as the Northeast and Central Asia in the home region are also sparsely populated. Like North America, horse farming was used in the early years, but now it is gradually converted to mechanized farming.
The local area alone can consume all the existing steam tractor production capacity.
Furthermore, the empire's economic development plan is not just for North America, but for all overseas territories around the world, and there are many areas where agricultural machinery is allowed to be sold and used.
In addition to the seven provinces in North America, there are also parts of South America, as well as South Africa, India's Go River State, and Pam State that were previously partially localized.
It would be great if their Yonglai Machinery Trading Company can grab the share of one thousand units from machinery trading companies in other regions.
No matter how much you want, the price is not enough!
Because the economic development plan is an imperial strategy, and the existing steam tractor production is limited, in order to let every place feel the good governance from Jinling and the majestic grace from the Holy Emperor.
This output is all allocated according to local areas!
The amount of the mainland, the seven provinces of North America, the amount of South Africa, and the amount of India are all determined after high-level discussions.
Yonglai Machinery Trading Company has no right to say anything. They can only sell as much as the quota given by the superiors.
"Alas, there is nothing we can do now. The current supply of goods is so limited. Let's study it later and see how to divide these seven provinces. Alas, this is not easy to do. If you don't do it right, you might offend others!"
The share of agricultural machinery such as steam tractors is not enough, and Yonglai Machinery Trading Company has no choice.
They are originally a policy company, and their mission is not to make much money, but to provide services for economic integration. Since farmers are allowed to obtain agricultural machinery and equipment, they must also prevent the loss of these agricultural machinery.
Especially to avoid losing it to the indigenous people.
Those Tatars are full of ideas about obtaining various mechanical products from the empire through various channels, especially steam engines.
Therefore, every piece of machinery and equipment sold to overseas provinces, especially those with steam engines, must be individually numbered and tracked.
They have no control over how farmers use it after purchasing it, nor do they care if it is directly transferred to other farmers. However, this steam tractor cannot disappear, and transfers between farmers must be recorded.
Supervising these agricultural machinery and equipment, especially the steam engines above, is the main task of Yonglai Company.
And this is why only trading companies wholly owned by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises can do this, and private capital is not qualified.
Although there are many restrictions, farmers in the seven provinces of North America can finally buy steam tractors. After placing orders, many people are already thinking about how to expand the planting area this year and what to plant.
Don’t worry about not being able to sell this product once it comes out. If it doesn’t work, just sell it directly to Datang Grain Corporation!
The Americas Company of Datang Grain Corporation has released this year’s grain sales and purchase guide prices through the American edition of Datang Chao Bao. The prices are basically the same as last year.
Although the grain purchase price of Datang Grain Corporation has always been slightly lower than the market price, it seems that you will suffer some losses if you sell to them, but you have to know that the purchase price of Datang Grain Corporation is based on the amount.
In the past few years, New South Wales had a bumper wheat harvest. Many local farmers were worried that wheat prices would plummet. However, Datang Grain Corporation Americas Company still opened its purchases, and prices remained the same as last year.
This kind of thing happens often in various parts of Datang. Regardless of whether it is a good harvest or a bad harvest, Datang Grain Corporation will always be at the forefront.
When the harvest is good, we start buying.
When the harvest failed, they were opened for sale.
At that time, grain prices would never plummet due to a good harvest or skyrocket due to a bad harvest. They would always be maintained at a normal and reasonable level.
Of course, if Datang Grain Corporation does this, it will not actually lose money. Even if it is a partial loss, most of them will not lose money, and a few will still make a profit.
For example, after purchasing the grain in the Americas, they usually transport it directly back to the mainland via 10,000-ton cargo ships.
After the goods are shipped back to the mainland, because the price gap between the two places is quite large, even if freight is added, Datang Grain Corporation will not lose money and will often make a small profit.
Well, in fact, for a business activity that requires hundreds of thousands of dollars to be invested at every turn, and only earns a few thousand yuan after half a year of hard work, it is a huge loss if it is a purely commercial activity.
But Datang Grain Corporation is not a commercial company, it is a serious administrative organization...
If they can stabilize food prices without losing money at the same time, it is a success for them.
With Datang Grain Corporation here, farmers in Datang basically don’t have to worry about no one wanting the grain they grow.
In the past, we were powerless and could not plant so much. At the same time, transportation was difficult, especially in places where river transportation was impassable, and relying on horse-drawn carriages for transportation was extremely costly.
But now, the Inter-American Railway Plan has also begun to be implemented. In addition to the main artery of the Inter-American Railway, it is also expected to build some branch railways in some densely populated areas on the eastern coast.
Anyway, these places are all plains, so it is very convenient to build railways.
The arrival of the railway, coupled with the original canal transportation system, has reduced transportation costs a lot.
Relaxing restrictions on railways and relaxing restrictions on agricultural machinery and equipment. These two items alone are enough to win over American immigrants.
Ordinary people don't pay so much attention. They only focus on their own interests, and for the vast majority of the American population, their interests are agricultural interests.
As long as their agricultural products can be sold and sold at high prices, they will support Jinling.
On the contrary, they will follow those with ulterior motives and shout about localization of America.
Stabilizing the rural immigrant population and importing large quantities of overseas agricultural products are core policies in the economic development plan.
Because this is also the core goal of economic integration, which is to bind most of the peasant groups in overseas territories with the empire itself.
They cannot absorb so much grain output from overseas territories and can only supply it to the local market.
Once the local market is lost, the economic system of farmers in overseas territories will collapse in minutes.
And this is the essence of economic integration.
Let them be unable to leave their homeland from now on!
Not from an emotional point of view, but from a profit point of view!
If agriculture stabilizes the fundamentals of overseas territories, then the subsequent deregulation of mineral development, commerce, and many other industries will be used to stabilize the gentry group in overseas territories.
