Chapter 62

Shi Wen wasn't surprised by his connections. "Great."

Yan Kexing: "How many acres do you plan to plant?"

Shi Wen, "A total of 600 mu will be planted, in three areas, with 200 mu of each type in each area. If it's mixed planting, alfalfa should also be needed for 200 mu of seeds, a little more or less is fine."

Yan Kexing: "I understand."

Seeing that Yan Kexing was about to ask his friend, Shi Wen had an idea. "Such good forage grass, does it have an official website? Maybe other people in the village also want to grow this new generation of forage grass, I'll go take a look."

Yan Kexing, "It's still in the field testing phase and hasn't been launched yet. You can ask other people; if you want it, I'll ask around again."

Shi Wen smiled and urged him, "Ask first. If you can place a large order, some herders will definitely be interested."

Yan Kexing then asked his friend and quickly called Shi Wen, saying, "They have plenty of seeds there, and there's no price listed yet. If you order in bulk, they'll sell them at the average market price, which is about twenty yuan per jin."

Shi Wen readily agreed, "That's no problem. I'll ask tomorrow. By the way, are there any relevant papers? I'd like to take a look and get a feel for it."

Yan Kexing: "I'll send it to you."

Shi Wen soon received the paper and experimental data sent by Yan Kexing.

The new alfalfa is temporarily named "Purple Star No. 5" and is a new variety from J University. Before this, there were varieties one through four.

The development of No. 5 is clearly nearing completion. There is a wealth of information and comprehensive data, making it a very suitable forage crop for the local area.

Shi Wen their various experimental data, and it feels like after reading it once, I've learned the basics of how to grow this kind of forage grass.

The advantages of Purple Star No. 5 are very obvious. In addition to high yield and high nutrition, it also has advantages in disease resistance and cold resistance.

After reading the paper for half the night, Shi Wen had a better understanding of the situation.

The next day, after communicating with Fu Meng to confirm that everything was alright, he asked in the village's group chat, "[Is anyone interested in planting the new variety of alfalfa?]"

Shi Wen included a link to J University's introduction to No. 5 at the end. J University's introduction is very comprehensive, and its advantages are clearly stated.

Shi Wen: [This is J University's Purple Star No. 5 alfalfa seed; its traits are quite superior. If anyone is interested, you can message me privately, and I'll have my friends order it together. The price is the same as regular alfalfa seeds, which is currently 20 yuan per jin (500g).]

Fu Meng and several other families who were acquainted with Shi Wen placed orders immediately.

They all cultivate hundreds of acres, and each acre requires three kilograms of seeds. Each family has ordered several hundred kilograms of seeds, costing several thousand yuan just for the seeds.

Shi Wen they didn't collect any money, only that I should register first, and then each of us would transfer the seed money to the seller once the seeds were actually ordered.

He wanted to help, but didn't want people to misunderstand that he was taking money inside.

Everyone understood Shi Wen's idea. Seeing that he didn't handle the seed money, many people trusted him even more and ordered more seeds from him.

The herders in the village who had initially been hesitant started ordering seeds from him as more and more people began to do so, fearing they would fall behind.

People from other villages, upon hearing the news, also came over, begging him to help them place orders.

Finally, Fu Meng took the initiative to handle the registration, saying that they would register first and then see how many there were later.

Spring is still a long way off, Shi Wen told everyone that the deadline for pre-orders is December 25th.

On December 25th, Fu Meng came to the Shi Wen family to reconcile accounts with them.

A total of 340 households ordered seeds of Purple Star No. 5 from him, with each household ordering an average of 370 jin, for a total of 125,800 jin of seeds.

A deal worth over two million!

Shi Wen never expected so many people to come.

He looked at the data on the paper, counted it again unwillingly, then looked at Fu Meng and said incredulously, "How can so many people trust us?"

Fu Meng laughed, "We've all been watching you, don't we all know what kind of person you are? The alfalfa you recommended can't be bad."

Shi Wen, "That's too many. I need to ask them if they have that many seeds."

Although the people at J University claim they have plenty of seeds, who knows if they actually have enough to reach tens of thousands of kilograms?

Fu Meng reassured him, "Don't worry, I've left some room for maneuver. I told the next few dozen households that if they can't book, they'll just have to wait until next year, and they haven't had any objections."

"I'll ask Yan Kexing gets back, and I'll let you know the results tonight." Shi Wen glanced at the data again, shocked and touched, and repeated, "Everyone trusts me too much."

Fu Meng patted him on the shoulder. "Everyone has seen who did what. Not to mention them, I trust you too."

"Then I must not let everyone down," Shi Wen assured him. "As soon as Yan Kexing returns, I'll have him ask around and give you the news as soon as possible."

Yan Kexing have returned from their research trip, but they still have to work during the day and won't be back at the ranch until evening.

Shi Wen stay home in the evening to wait for him to get off work, and as soon as she heard his car, she would run out with the dogs and two Hu Zai to greet him.

Yan Kexing just got out of the car. "So enthusiastic today?"

Shi Wen ran up behind him and massaged his shoulders, saying, "I'm busy."

Yan Kexing guessed it immediately. "What is it? The alfalfa seeds?"

Shi Wen, "Yes, there are far more people ordering seeds than I expected. A total of 125,800 jin are needed. I wonder if your friend has enough seeds?"

Yan Kexing was also surprised. "So many?"

"Yes, everyone trusts us a lot." Shi Wen put his arm around his shoulder and pushed him into the yard. "Brother Fu and I have staked our reputations on this, so let's hope nothing goes wrong. You should ask around quickly. If it works, great; if not, I'll cancel some orders and have them buy other seeds as soon as possible."

Yan Kexing's friend sent an assistant to liaise with Shi Wen.

The assistant's name is Qu Jiaojiao, and she is a straightforward girl.
