Chapter 256: Such an Impact So Soon!

  Mister saw that Ruan Xiao and his people had really left, and he couldn't help but panic.

  If the other side really had such technology, it would be a very bad omen for them.

  Moreover, he knew one thing clearly: this technology left them no room to maneuver.

  A price war?

  The other country would definitely support it, after all, they already had the intention to throttle the opposition.

  They weren't foolish.

  Compete in technology and planting yield?

  The other side already had the technology, and with the size of their country, if it were to be widely promoted, the yield would definitely not be low.

  Steal their technology?

  Please, the key issue isn't the technology itself.

  It's whether they will plant it or not.

  He knew why they didn't plant it before: the planting time was long, it was troublesome and difficult, and the benefits were low.

  Once this problem was solved, would there be a lack of people willing to plant it?

  If they grew enough for themselves, would they still buy from them?

  Even if they got their hands on the technology and planted it crazily, who would buy the yield?

  Not many countries in the West liked soybeans.

  Their soybean planting industry had only developed because of this country.

  So, the only thing they could do now was to try to buy the company that owned this technology.

  Thinking this, Mister immediately instructed the person beside him, "Quickly investigate what's going on with their project. See if there's any possibility of buying them out."

  The person beside him didn't dare hesitate; he also knew the severity of the situation and immediately picked up his phone to make arrangements.

  The group quickly left the place and returned to their embassy.

  Soon, Mister received a report, but his expression was very grim.

  Because the latest information had reached him.

  The project was led by an official from one of the other side's counties.

  With such a leading party, how could they possibly buy it out?

  In other words, were they now powerless to do anything about this?

  "No… How could it suddenly come to this?" Mister's face was growing paler by the second.

  Because he had led the initiative to raise prices and had convinced the major soybean growers in his country.

  He had thought this would curb the other country's soybean industry and gain him some fame.

  But now, if the other side really stopped buying their soybeans, even if the real reason was that they had soybean technology, he would be the one blamed for everything.

  He could already imagine walking down the street and being confronted by an angry farmer with a shotgun.

  The thought made him break out in a cold sweat.

  ...

  Time passed.

  Youcheng became increasingly bustling, as many wealthy individuals set their sights on it, even rushing to Youcheng to investigate the soybean planting project.

  Wang Hui was one of them.

  He was in the fried soybean snack business and had developed a wide variety of products, which required more and more soybeans as raw materials.

  So, seeing this investment opportunity, he naturally wanted to invest a bit.

  He didn't need to hold a large share; just a small stake to gain some favor in future orders.

  Because his previous soybean sources were all imported, with transportation costs and tariffs adding up to a significant loss.

  So, if possible, he would prefer to purchase soybeans directly from domestic sources.

  In the hotel room, his secretary immediately reported to him, "Boss, we have investigated. The Youcheng project requires a total of 200 billion in funding. They seem to have no intention of developing slowly; instead, they plan to expand the industry significantly all at once. If it goes well, their soybean yield won't be small."

Mister saw that Ruan Xiao and his people had really left, and he couldn't help but panic.

...

Time passed.

Youcheng became increasingly bustling, as many wealthy individuals set their sights on it, even rushing to Youcheng to investigate the soybean planting project.

Wang Hui was one of them.

He was in the fried soybean snack business and had developed a wide variety of products, which required more and more soybeans as raw materials.

So, seeing this investment opportunity, he naturally wanted to invest a bit.

He didn't need to hold a large share; just a small stake to gain some favor in future orders.

In the hotel room, his secretary immediately reported to him, "Boss, we have investigated. The Youcheng project requires a total of 200 billion in funding. They seem to have no intention of developing slowly; instead, they plan to expand the industry significantly all at once. If it goes well, their soybean yield won't be small."

Wang Hui couldn't help but look surprised.

This figure meant that with his capital, he could only make a small investment, just to show his face.

However, this also indicated that if the Youcheng project succeeded, the soybean yield would not be low.

If he set up a factory in Youcheng in advance, he could source materials locally, saving a significant amount of transportation costs.

Thinking this, he felt it made more sense and immediately instructed his secretary, "Notify the company to stop all plans for selecting factory locations. We don't need to choose anymore; we'll set up the factory in Youcheng."

The secretary nodded upon hearing this and immediately made the necessary arrangements.

In the evening, Wang Hui finally left the hotel, accompanied by his secretary to have dinner. Unexpectedly, he met a familiar person in the hotel lobby.

He immediately greeted him, "Mr. Qian, you're here too. Of course, the situation in Youcheng couldn't do without you, the king of soy milk."

Mr. Qian smiled and said, "This time, our soy products industry will be very lively. Many people will come to Youcheng."

Wang Hui said, "Yes, previously, we relied on imported soybeans, which were expensive. Now, everyone is more inclined toward Youcheng, but I wonder what the situation is with those companies still negotiating with the U.S."

Mr. Qian immediately added, "According to the information I have, the negotiations have fallen through. Now, those people should also be coming to Youcheng to investigate the situation."

"Those U.S. people probably won't look too good now. When we bought their soybeans, they had all sorts of issues, but now that we're not buying from them, let's see how big their issues are."

Indeed, many wealthy individuals came to Youcheng, not just from the soy products industry but also many who wanted to invest in the soybean project.

These wealthy individuals often brought people with them, especially those who wanted to invest, even bringing teams.

Their arrival directly boosted consumption in Youcheng.

Their spending was considerable.

The county government was well aware of this, and Liu Xian and his team were visibly excited.

Previously, attracting investment and attracting businesses was not easy. They had to say all the right things and explain the advantages and policies of Youcheng to the investors.

But now, wealthy investors were vying to invest, fearing they might miss out on the project.

After this project, if the investors wanted to invest again, they would have to see if Youcheng would give them the opportunity.

The positions of both sides would directly shift.

After reviewing the materials on the computer about the soybean project's investment promotion meeting, Liu Xian instructed his secretary, "Send these to the propaganda department and have them set up immediately. Also, notify the wealthy individuals interested in investing that they can submit their investment applications to us."

"Sure, Mr. Liu, I'll take care of it right away," the secretary nodded and, before leaving the office, immediately picked up his phone to make the necessary calls.

Now, with the soybean project, no one dared to be the slightest bit negligent. This morning, someone was reprimanded for being negligent.

Liu Xian, seeing this, was about to look at another document on the computer about the mainland project when his phone rang.

The number was from Beijing, and it was from a very important official department.

This made him instantly surprised.

Why would this department call him suddenly? Could it be about the soybean project?

Although he didn't know the specifics, he quickly answered the call.

Hearing the words from the other end, his face couldn't help but show surprise.

Their project had such an impact so soon?
