Chapter 824: Connection (Part 1)

Billy had already pinched Leng Rui's neck with one hand, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little solemn, because most people couldn't understand what Le Xiao's brain circuit was made of.

Let alone putting it on the market, if it is sold at the market price of 1 yuan per kilogram, it will probably cause chaos in the market immediately. This is not pricing at all, but nonsense.

Larry glanced at the attitude of the directors, and his head was a little hot for a while. He couldn't explain the things to Le Xiao like a teacher teaching a student in such a place, after all, his identity was here.

Everyone was at the same level, and Larry liked the character of this little girl very much, and didn't want to offend Le Xiao's face.

"Wow, it's oranges."

Le Xiao smiled and watched a director quickly bring out six kinds of fruits that had been washed. Larry asked everyone to take what they wanted to eat. Le Xiao took the lead and put it in front of her nose to smell it. The taste was really good.

The appearance of the fruit eased the atmosphere at the scene very well. Many people had never eaten it. The only people present were Le Xiao, Larry, and Billy who had eaten it in the hospital before.

Gurgle

Leng Rui swallowed the grape whole, choking on it with saliva flowing down his throat. He immediately beat his chest and Billy patted his back.

Gradually, everyone's faces were filled with smiles, because it was really delicious, completely different from taste enhancers. No matter how good a taste enhancer is, it will always have a metallic taste.

Smiles gradually appeared on everyone's faces, and everyone began to talk about the taste of real fruit. Some directors took out the light and shadow lockers and planned to take some back for their families to taste. Larry also acquiesced. Only in occasions like today can special treatment be given.

"It would be great if everyone in the city could eat it one day, and everyone would be happy."

Larry smiled and nodded. The production of nutrient solution requires crops, and the cost is not expensive, but the production cost of fruit trees is a bit high.

Seeing that everyone's emotions have been eased, and some directors also understand why Le Xiao said that the price is one yuan per kilogram. If fruit becomes a luxury, people at the bottom may not be able to eat it in another 10 years.

Larry opened a light and shadow panel, called up the manufacturing structure diagram of the fruit tree, and began to explain the manufacturing cost to Le Xiao, and only briefly mentioned the technical issues.

Le Xiao's eyes widened.

"5,000 for one tree? If it's 1 yuan per kilogram, won't it be a loss?"

Larry sighed and nodded, looking at Le Xiao's blushing face, some directors beside him also laughed helplessly. Although they knew that Le Xiao's intentions were good, they couldn't do it this way.

"It was stated in Congress before that 1,000 trees can be produced per month, but it's just the maximum number. According to the existing technology and cost issues, the maximum number is 500 to 550 trees per month, and the maximum number of fruit trees that can achieve the above output is no more than 30%."

Le Xiao looked at the series of data explained by Larry on the light and shadow panel with a tangled face. It seemed that he couldn't do it this way, especially after seeing the tax. The technical tax is a tax for this kind of fruit tree, and there is also a market management fee. Although it is cheap, it will be adjusted according to the price, starting at 15%, and the market management fee is calculated according to the scale of operation.

A fruit tree needs 2kg of special nutrient solution to produce all the fruits in a month. The manufacturing cost is about 500 to 600 grams of various grains. The lowest cost is 5 yuan, and the ecological film system of the tree is required. This is already included in the total cost of the fruit tree, which requires a minimum cost of 1,000 yuan. Maintenance is about once every 3 months, which costs 100 to 200 yuan.

Le Xiao felt a headache, and a bunch of numbers were already mixed up in her head.

Leng Rui, who was recording on the side, looked at Le Xiao quietly. He still had a grape in his hand, and planned to keep it for his sister to visit secretly at night when he went to the lower level tomorrow, and then give it to his sister.

Leng Rui gave his mobile phone to Billy, motioning him to take notes, and he left the crowd and came to a slightly farther place, and took out another better mobile phone, which Noah gave him.

Leng Rui had connected the AI ​​Prometheus he developed to this mobile phone, and soon with the divergence of light and shadow, a group of burning heads appeared.

"What's wrong with Xiao Leng? I'm still sleeping."

"Idiot, how can you sleep when you are a bunch of data?"

Prometheus grinned and turned his head.

"Even if it is data, at least it is your hard work, isn't it? A real person, don't you always tell me so? One day I will become a real person."

Leng Rui looked at Le Xiao with an embarrassed face. Leng Rui used to envy those who could eat rice or bread. He was exhausted raising his sister alone. He could only eat liquid food most of the time. Real food was a luxury for him. He could understand that feeling. The fruit just now was really delicious. If such things became something that only the middle and upper classes or even only the upper classes could afford, it would be a waste.

"How about renting it?"

At this time, Alpha spoke. Leng Rui had already started to input some of the values ​​he had just written down, and asked Prometheus to start calculating the area where the fruit trees would be placed. After all, there might be less than 150 fruit trees in the first batch that could be placed, and it was necessary to find the area that was most suitable for the proposal experiment.

"Yes, it's a rental. The price of 5,000 is too high. If there are taxes, it will be unaffordable for many merchants. Moreover, the current output is so little."

Larry nodded, that was indeed a solution.

"But there is a problem. Even if it is rented, the rent will be at least 200 yuan a month, because it also needs to provide nutrient solution, maintenance and other issues."

"Isn't that even more of a loss?"

Le Xiao pressed her head, not knowing what to do. According to the current output, there may only be 1,800 to 2,000 fruit trees a year. Districts 113 and 114 are not considered for the time being. Each of the 118 districts has a maximum of 1,800 to 2,000 fruit trees. He has more than 10 fruit trees, and he can only do it at a loss for the time being. The payback period is too long. Le Xiao also knows that if something does not make money, it will cost money for many years. Only a fool would do it.

"We just have to talk to the MPs."

Alpha said, Lexiao swallowed, and she shuddered when she thought of those councilors.

"Ms. Alpha, you are talking about local subsidies. It is indeed a good way to alleviate the dilemma of fruit trees being unable to repay their investment in the long term. The price of 1 yuan per kilogram mentioned by Secretary Le Xiao can only be used in areas where fruit trees have excessive yields. It may only happen when the time comes, but if the price is set now, it will be impossible to change the price rashly in the future, which will affect many industries. "

Le Xiao was still trying hard to think of a solution when she suddenly stood up.

"How about looking for a merchant?"

“Wouldn’t this become something more commercial?”

Alpha asked doubtfully, and Le Xiao shook her head with a smile.

"Aren't there many businessmen doing charity? Why not let them do such good things that are beneficial to the city?"

"Businessmen have a deeper purpose in doing charity."

Larry said helplessly, Le Xiao pressed her head again and asked her to go talk to the group of congressmen. She was very unhappy in her heart. It would be better to talk to businessmen, but when she thought about what Larry just said, the world is not free. lunch, and then thinking about the attentive faces of the businessmen in the Congress Hall, Le Xiao found that the businessmen were even more difficult to find, just like what Gu Ningning said to her, eating someone else's shortest, taking someone else's shorthand, just like King Xue The old fried dough sticks at the banquet are different.

Poof

When Le Xiao thought that King Xue not only took other people's food and ate it, he didn't feel short-handed at all, but even got worse. Le Xiao had heard from Hui Hui that King Xue was the most ruthless to the merchants. He always used the excuse of reviewing business qualifications and so on, which made the businessmen miserable, so he could only support King Xue and never overthrow him.

The group of people were all a little confused by Le Xiao's inexplicable happiness. They looked troubled and uncomfortable just now, but now they laughed alone, and they laughed very sweetly.

Alpha poked Lexiao on the back, and Lexiao came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly.

"It's better than this, Secretary Le Xiao, we can talk slowly after eating and resting for a while. You were tired yesterday and you still have plenty of time today."

It was just past 10:30. Le Xiao patted her belly, stood up and was about to leave. Larry followed him with a smile. At this time, Le Xiao suddenly stood there and sneezed hard. He almost slipped and fell, but Alpha held him back with telekinesis.

"I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Guoguo's eyes widened, and there were already dark circles in the corners of her eyes. After arguing with Le Xiao before, Le Xiao said that the maintenance fee for this kind of mechanical ball was 1 yuan a day. Guoguo quarreled with her on the spot. Later, With Noah's mediation, he said that the daily maintenance fee would be 5 yuan.

Guoguo has a headache at this moment. Even if such a mechanical ball only has simple arm functions and flight functions, the electricity bill for one day, except for the daylight due to sunlight, will cost at least 2 yuan for electricity, plus the daily wear and tear. No matter what, it costs 15 yuan a day.

A room full of machinery was piled up randomly. Guoguo was sitting in front of the workbench, pressing her forehead in distress. Noah walked in from the doorway.

"What's wrong, do you want to give up? Tomorrow Le Xiao will go to District 118."

Guoguo's eyes suddenly lit up with fighting spirit, and she continued to look at the design parameters. She gritted her teeth and widened her eyes.

"You asked for it. When the time comes, it will definitely make your jaw drop."

Noah sighed and turned to look at the AI ​​phantoms walking around the streets outside. This bill was originally just a beginning. He planned to use this bill to gradually promote the mechanization process, but now it seems to be very difficult. If you want to be effective, In order to reduce costs, the function and material of the mechanical ball will definitely be greatly reduced, and then it will be the same as paper.

"It seems like things are getting more and more troublesome.". m.
