Chapter 0085 Repaying a Favor, Spying
in the afternoon.
Gu Tong went to the field to check on the condition of the compost pile. The temperature inside the compost pile had risen to 65℃.
The speed was faster than expected, so he called Chen Liang and asked him to come over at seven o'clock the next morning to help turn the pile.
"No problem, see you tomorrow morning."
Chen Liang readily agreed and planned to go there at 6:30 the next morning.
Gu Tong then returned home, and with the drone and the prepared root enhancement solution, went to the field again.
Next, he began spraying, and soon a layer of crystal-clear water mist covered the alfalfa stubble.
Freshly harvested alfalfa needs to have its root system repaired as soon as possible to promote new leaf growth. [Root Enhancer Liquid] can not only quickly achieve the purpose of repairing the root system, but also has the effect of weed control.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Half an hour later, Gu Tong finished spraying and returned home.
After dinner, he checked his bank account balance on his phone and couldn't help but sigh, "After working so hard all day, the money in my account is almost gone again."
The total price of his newly purchased hay harvester was 14.8 yuan. He only had 11.9 yuan in funds beforehand, kept 1000 yuan for emergencies, and temporarily borrowed 3 yuan from a payment platform to pay for the machine.
He currently only has a paltry 1000 yuan in his bank account, which he finds quite amusing.
However, on the day he purchased the machine, he, Dong Jun, and Ma Dongwen went to the agricultural machinery office to apply for a subsidy. His personal subsidy for purchasing the machine was 29600 yuan, which should arrive in a few days.
Besides, I can receive payment for the harvesting service a few days later, which will alleviate my financial difficulties.
"Kurban and Ilyas village chief both want me to help them increase production, but the cost of the contract, including labor and materials, shouldn't be too high. Let's calculate it based on mid-priced fertilizers and pesticides."
Gu Tong never intended to make money by selling the enhancer fluid, partly because the source was unclear, and partly because selling substandard products was illegal.
However, he owed Kurban and Ilyas a great debt of gratitude, and they trusted him implicitly, so he could not refuse their proposed trusteeship.
If the entire process, including labor and materials, is handled by the contractor, there's no need to worry about the synergistic agent being exposed. As long as the effect is good, everything else is fine.
Therefore, based on the actual prices of pesticides and fertilizers, the fees are set at a mid-range level. The package includes labor and materials; topdressing costs 30 yuan per mu, and pesticide application (one type of liquid pesticide) costs 50 yuan per mu.
If you are preparing to use chemical fertilizers for topdressing, you can only earn 10 yuan per mu for aerial spraying service.
Spraying requires two to three applications, including spraying the root-enhancing solution, insect-repelling solution, and disease-reducing solution.
Based on Gu Tong's own experience using the synergistic agent, only one application is needed per growth cycle, and there are basically no problems with pests, diseases, or weeds.
His 50 mu (approximately 3.3 hectares) of saline-alkali land saw a significant increase in alfalfa production, with a yield increasing by at least 50%.
Of course, the effects of seeds and [fertile soil enhancer] need to be taken into account. Even if the effect is halved, theoretically the yield can still increase by 25%.
After finalizing the price, Gu Tong sent quotes to Ilyas and Kurban respectively.
Kurban replied immediately: "Xiao Gu, thank you for your help. We'll go with this price!"
A while later, Ilyas sent a message: "No problem! Come over for lunch tomorrow."
Upon seeing the offer, any doubts they might have had vanished.
The price of topdressing fertilizer is lower than the market price, and although the price of pesticides is slightly higher, they will make a profit as long as alfalfa production increases by 5%-8%. If future production increases significantly, they will raise prices proactively even if Gu Tong doesn't mention it.
Before going to bed, Gu Tong opened the panel and checked today's gains.
[Effective work (harvesting - mowing), Shennong value +30]
[Effective operation (aerial spraying), Shennong value +5]
[Influence expands, Shennong value +10]
Shennong Value: 912 points
......
Today's live stream went well, with 1000 new followers, bringing the total number of followers to over 3, reaching 30016.
The next day.
Gu Tong got up before dawn and inspected the farm machinery first. Chen Liang arrived just then.
After having breakfast, the two went to the field and began turning over the piles of crops.
It was very early, and he estimated that most of his fans hadn't gotten up yet, so he didn't go live and only filmed video footage.
The forklift operation was highly efficient, finishing the job in just a few tens of minutes.
"Chen Liang, thanks. The bundling work will start in the next couple of days. Wait for my call and arrange your time accordingly."
The compost pile is well-composted, and the temperature and humidity are completely within the standard range.
Gu Tong covered the plastic sheet with the plastic sheet, gave Chen Liang some instructions, and then went home to feed the sheep and dogs.
After finishing all his tasks, he leisurely arrived at Salbu Village, where he met up with Aikebai, Dong Jun, and Ma Dongwen. The four harvesters then went directly into the fields to cut grass.
"Family members, today we're still using four machines to mow the lawn, but the area we're working on has reached 800 acres. We'll try to finish it all in one day."
Gu Tong started a live stream. To ensure the quality of the footage, he used multiple cameras to try to present the complete scene of the workers to everyone.
After a brief opening remark, he began to concentrate on his work.
Perhaps because it was early in the morning, there weren't many people in the live stream, but it was still quite lively.
【Ice Lake Snow Lotus】: "This boss is really amazing, taking on so many big orders!"
[I don't eat donkey meat]: "Otherwise, why would they spend so much money to buy so many harvesters?"
[Lonely Swordsman]: "Looking for a pro to carry me!"
......
Gu Tong was used to these old fans entertaining themselves in the live stream. Today's task was quite heavy, requiring 8-10 hours of continuous work to finish.
So he basically didn't speak and quietly carried out the operation.
Today, Ai Kebai and the others are in good form, and their skill level has improved again. With Gu Tong as their mentor, they can learn a lot from him these days.
They were busy working and no one noticed the uninvited guests approaching from a distance.
Li Yong and his men watched the bustling scene unfold before them, their faces grim.
"They have four hay harvesters alone. Where did these guys get so much money?"
He learned that Gu Tong and others were harvesting in Hongqi Village that day, but he didn't have time to get there. Today, he finally saw their strength with his own eyes.
Four large harvesters were beyond the reach of a small team, and for the first time, Li Yong truly felt the threat posed by the four-person group.
"Manager Li, they got 300 orders in Hongqi Village at 100 yuan per mu, which includes harvesting, baling, and loading, but not transportation. Our price is 120 yuan per mu, which is not competitive at all."
His men had already gathered a clear understanding of the situation, but they were unaware of the details of the deal in Salb Village.
Ilyas had already announced in the village that the village would refuse to cooperate with Honghe in the future, and would not even allow Honghe's sales representatives to enter the village.
"We can't let our guard down. I need to go find President Tang right away."
Li Yong spat angrily on the ground, then led the others away in a car.
From beginning to end, Gu Tong and the others had no idea that Li Yong and his group had come.
Around noon, the four of them completed the task of mowing more than 400 mu of grass, and the work speed was faster than the last time in Hongqi Village.
After getting out of the car, Gu Tong chatted with her fans for a few minutes and then ended the broadcast.
"Everyone, you've all worked hard! Come to my house for lunch, Xiao Dong, you come too."
Ilyas ran over and invited the group to his house for dinner. He was very satisfied with the current progress of the assignment and kept praising Gu Tong and the others even after they entered the house.
During the meal, a young man came in and whispered a few words to Ilyas, whose face gradually darkened.
