Chapter 413 Overseas; Changes in Mentality; Spiritual Flame
After a small discussion meeting, Gaode and Miao Yifeng became more excited.
Although we had known for a long time that crop rotation and fallow cultivation were the general direction, we did not expect that the intensity would suddenly be so great, from 6 million acres to 60 million acres, which is a tenfold leap.
In addition to more than one million acres of groundwater funnel areas, rocky desertification, and heavy metal pollution areas, there are more than 10 million acres of ecological degradation areas.
The rest are in the main grain-producing areas, accounting for two-thirds, or more than 40 million acres.
Although these 40 million acres are low-yielding fields due to saline-alkali hardening, the pressure on grain production is still huge.
Most institutions and grain merchants believe that China's internal circulation can maintain grain balance, and the role of grain import and export will change for the third time in just a few years.
From importing grain to make up for the food gap, to exporting corn to absorb excess production capacity, and then to the upcoming import and export of grain, it only plays a role in regulating the market.
This view is dominant.
Based on this, there is also a view within Jiahe Grain and Oil that external grain channels can be postponed and domestic grain logistics channels should be optimized first.
Therefore, Jiahe Cereals and Oils opposed Jiahe International in the construction of the Beibu Gulf port.
According to their original idea, there should not be an investment project in the Beibu Gulf Port, but this was decided by the big boss and no one could object.
We can only try to control investment as much as possible.
The investment in three 10,000-ton berths only requires a few hundred million yuan, while the cost of building a 100,000-ton berth will increase significantly, and the total investment may reach more than 1.5 billion.
The money saved can be used to optimize domestic grain logistics, and a lot of things can be done.
Gao De and Miao Yiyi thought so at first, but this view has completely changed now.
The momentum for a substantial increase in domestic grain production is still there, and Tianhe Seed Industry, which suffered the greatest losses from crop rotation and fallow farming, still maintains strong momentum!
Taking a longer-term view, once the effects of crop rotation and fallow are initially revealed, the fertility of cultivated land will increase and grain production will also increase.
Pushing the chair back to its original position, Gao De looked at Yan Qun and invited: "Mr. Yan, let's sit down and chat together."
Yan Qun probably guessed what this person was thinking. He was responsible for Tianhe's seed production and took the lead in various seed production plans. This person probably wanted to know the trend of the production area next year.
After thinking for a moment, Yan Qun said: "How about we go to the seed production factory and have a chat while walking?"
Gao De smiled and said: "This is naturally the best, and it is true. I have been in Jiahe for so long, and I have never visited the seed production base or factory. I am really ashamed. Otherwise, I will not bother the two masters. Today I will ask Yan Can we give you some advice together?”
"It's not about giving advice, it's about communicating and learning from each other."
Guo Yang, who was still sitting in his seat, also heard the exchange between the two and interjected: "You can contact Bi Qiang and ask him to arrange for him to go with you."
Yan Qun smiled and agreed.
Miao Yifeng also said at this time: "I will also follow and study."
"Yes." Guo Yang turned back and looked at Qu Yang, who was still sitting on the sofa drinking tea. "Do you want to go too?"
"I won't go." Qu Yang replied.
"Okay, let's stay in the office and drink tea." Guo Yang also wanted to know Tianhe's overseas achievements this year.
Tianhe’s domestic seed business has basically entered a period of stable growth.
The corn sown area has been declining sharply, limiting the upper limit. The market share of Tianyu 1 itself has also reached a bottleneck, and prices are also falling.
Even though it has covered all domestic corn seed markets through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the corn seed business has been declining.
Fortunately, the growth of soybeans, wheat, vegetables, flowers, sunflower and other businesses has also driven the overall revenue to resume a growth trend.
But if you want to make a big breakthrough, there are only two directions.
One is the energy forest seedlings and fruit tree seedlings that have high hopes, and the other is going to sea.
Qu Yang’s recent work focuses mainly on North and South America.
Three or four years ago, Tianhe sent several employees based in the United States to establish a breeding station in Illinois, and Guo Yang also went there.
Qu Yang said: "Two corn hybrids from North American breeding stations have passed commercial testing this year and can enter the market next year. The South American seed research and development platform has only been established. Currently, an international consulting agency has been entrusted to find suitable acquisition targets."
Guo Yang nodded, "Do you have any clues?"
Qu Yang smiled: "Dow AgroSciences' corn seed business in Brazil may be sold. The underlying assets include R&D bases, production bases, and an extensive dealer network. Last year's annual revenue was approximately US$206 million.< br>
Its R&D center also has a germplasm resource library of more than 14,000 breeding materials, which are suitable for planting in tropical and subtropical regions such as South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. After the acquisition is completed, it will help gradually realize the interoperability of domestic and foreign breeding materials. ”
This is a high-quality enterprise integrating breeding, breeding and promotion.
Guo Yang asked in surprise: "Why did Tao AgroSciences sell it?"
"I don't know." Qu Yang shook his head and said, "It's the information provided by the consulting company."
Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the merger of Dow Chemical and DuPont. Could there be signs of it now?
"Whatever, let's touch it first."
The conversation with Qu Yang did not end until noon, and Guo Yang also had a general understanding of the situation of the overseas seed business.
To say that the best development is in Africa, the seed business in several East African countries has opened up, and corn, rice, and wheat have all performed well.
Yu Honghai also established grain industrial parks and fruit industrial parks near Matadi and Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The biggest problem is the lack of fertilizers, followed by political instability. The most conflicts are in the mining areas in the east.
An oil palm industrial park in Equateur Province is also under planning, but the first saplings have been planted.
To achieve this result after nearly three years is considered to be in line with the goal.
However, in the next period of time, Tianhe will focus on North and South America, breeding, production, and sales, with the goal of improving performance.
The second is to obtain as much local germplasm genetic resources as possible, which will facilitate subsequent breeding.
In addition, Guo Yang will not interfere in the breeding in the Americas, but will be cultivated by Tianhe's own scientific research system and participate in market competition.
In this way, the country can always maintain its advantage in yield per unit area.
As New Year's Day approaches, the company is filled with a festive atmosphere.
Guo Yang, Qu Yang and Qi Ziwen could feel the joy everywhere on their way to the restaurant, and today's lunch was much richer.
After eating, Qu Yang and he took a step ahead, while Guo Yang and Qi Ziwen walked slowly to the office.
"Xiao Qi, there should be nothing to do on New Year's Day. You can go home on vacation."
In Guo Yang's memory, Qi Ziwen never rested much. It just so happened that he also planned to take a rest on New Year's Day.
Qi Ziwen thought for a while, "Okay, it's time to go back."
"Where is your hometown?"
"From northern Shaanxi."
"Then you should recommend Ruiyang to the folks when you go back. You should know how this apple variety performs, right?"
"Okay."
"By the way, one more thing, how far is the preparation for the aerial photography project?" Guo Yang suddenly asked.
Qi Ziwen said thoughtfully: "This matter may be a bit troublesome. After Fu Qiuyan and Mr. Fu communicated with CCTV Documentary Channel Director Jin Wei, the other party was not very interested.
They collaborated with the BBC on a similar aerial documentary "Beautiful China" which premiered last year, and they have no plans to produce another one for the time being. ”
The response to Beautiful China was also very good, but there were only six episodes in total.
"Rich South China", "South of Colorful Clouds", "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", "Beyond the Great Wall", "Dragon's Domain", "Noisy Coast".
A total of 26 provincial-level administrative regions in China were involved, and it took four years to complete the production.
Guo Yang has not watched this documentary, but he believes that it does not conflict with the establishment of a new project at all!
Chinese culture is vast and profound, and it is no problem to find an episode of exciting content in one province!
Although his original intention was to use aerial photography documentaries to enrich the ecological content of Huinong.com and to promote aerial photography drones, he thought of aerial photography of China at that time.
But it is not limited to this.
Aerial photography of the northwest, aerial photography of agriculture, aerial photography of desert environment management, etc. can also be considered.
But now CCTV is not interested, and he can't figure out which link went wrong.
When he reached the door of the office, Qi Ziwen asked Guo Yang to go in first, then followed him in, and said: "Now Mr. Fu and the Propaganda Department are studying whether to undertake the production by ourselves or continue to find someone to cooperate."
Guo Yang stood by the window and looked out, saying: "If it is a large-scale aerial documentary, similar to aerial photography of every province in the country, CCTV will still have to take action.
In some places, propaganda departments, military commissions, air traffic control, etc., must be implemented from the top down to make it work.
In addition, there are directing, writing, photography, editing, narration, soundtrack, data editing and other links. This is an extremely huge project. Do you think Jiahe Publicity Department has this ability now? ”
How should I answer this? Qi Ziwen choked. He answered yes, but he was not trying to make a fool of himself. He said no, and it was inappropriate...
"Forget it." Guo Yang thought for a while and said, "Jiahe will plan another documentary with a smaller geographical scope. I will ask if there is a chance for aerial photography in China."
"Okay, boss, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my workstation first."
Guo Yang waved his hand and stood in front of the window for a while before returning to his seat and taking a nap.
Then the afternoon business started again.
Occasionally I browse the news online, chat with Lin Keqing, or get up and take a walk.
After having dinner in the cafeteria and returning to the villa, Guo Yang slowly changed into his jersey and sneakers while humming a song.
After seeing this, Luo Xiu asked in surprise: "Boss, are you going to play ball?"
"Let's go play together?" Guo Yang said: "Today I saw that the gymnasium is already under construction. When it is completed next year, we will organize an employee competition."
"Boss, you are definitely the champion."
"What if I don't play?"
“It’s just boring to watch.”
"So you need to practice cooking more!" Guo Yang patted Luo Xiu on the shoulder, "Let's go, change clothes, I'll wait for you."
"Okay."
Guo Yang also went back to the room to get some clothes and put them on, and then put on the standard suit for Jiahe's grassroots staff: a long black down jacket.
Suddenly it wasn't so cold.
After Luo Xiu also changed, the two drove to the indoor basketball court in Jiayuguan. After warming up, they shot baskets and occasionally played one-on-one.
Luo Xiu wasn't very good at it, but he had good physical fitness, so Guo Yang didn't take advantage of him.
Anyway, both of them couldn't make a shot.
Commonly known as chickens pecking each other.
After a hearty duel, Guo Yang joked: "We should all go back and see Happy Farm."
"Haha... I'm so stupid." Luo Xiu laughed, "I know this, but I don't know how to fight!"
Guo Yang's basketball-shooting hand held the ball between his palm and wrist, trying to hit Luo Xiu.
In his previous life, when he was playing basketball and joking with his friends, he liked to use this move to scare people, but the ball never hit the ball.
However, Luo Xiu was obviously stunned, and the ball stopped about 10cm away from Luo Xiu's face.
Guo Yang exclaimed, "Luo Xiu, aren't you afraid that I'll hit you in the face?"
Luo Xiu just woke up from a dream, and his expression quickly returned to normal. But Guo Yang noticed the change in his eyes at that moment, "You don't think I'm really angry, do you? I'm joking with you!"
Luo Xiu smiled awkwardly. At that moment, he did think he might be angry, but now it was obvious that he was not.
"No, no, I just didn't react."
"Hey, it's boring."
Guo Yang slapped the basketball on the floor with his right hand. He originally wanted to tease Luo Xiu because he saw Luo Xiu picking up on him, otherwise it would be boring for two grown men to stay together.
But I never imagined that Luo Xiu was such a boring person. Also, this was someone else's job.
At this moment, he realized how sad it was to be alone, and he didn't want to be alone.
Luo Xiu was a little annoyed at the moment, but he couldn't help it. It was his brain's instinctive idea. Looking at Guo Yang dribbling, he also thought that he might not be so rigid in private.
The two of them returned to the villa with their own concerns. Guo Yang went to wash up after going to the second floor.
Warm water spurted out from the shower head. Guo Yang pushed his hair back from his forehead with both hands, letting his thoughts spread out.
Why are you working so hard?
There is no one close to him, even Luo Xiu, who is inseparable, can be trusted, but he has more respect for him.
Revitalize China?
He tortured himself in his mind, when reporters asked him why he worked so hard, could he speak with a clear conscience about revitalizing China?
After thinking for a long time, he thought it was okay.
Improve saline-alkali land, vigorously develop the alfalfa industry to upgrade the quality of the dairy industry, combat cheating in the seed industry, prevent wind and desertification, defend the domestic soybean camp, promote biopesticides to reduce pesticide residues, ensure food security, and turn the Gobi into an oasis... The more I think about it, the more confident I become. !
When others laugh at him, he will fight back with a serious face.
But in this process, we should also try to make up for some regrets from the past and present lives.
For example, the national football team... Hey, why should I make myself uncomfortable? I'd better think of something serious.
Being so distracted by his own thoughts, Guo Yang didn't know what to make up for, so just let him go.
After washing, Guo Yang sat in front of the computer and planned to watch Huinong.com videos for a while. However, just after sitting down for a while, he saw a message notification on his phone.
I saw it was from Lin Keqing half an hour ago, "Brother, are you going back to Wuwei on New Year's Day?"
Guo Yang: Return to Minqin, but you can pass through Wuwei.
Lin Keqing: I also want to go back to Wuwei, and then bring some specialties back to the capital to visit my cousin. If you want to make an appointment for dinner in Wuwei, I’ll treat you to it.
Guo Yang: No problem, I will also bring something to the elderly.
Lin Keqing: Let’s make an appointment, the night before New Year’s Day.
Guo Yang: OK.
Holding the phone in both hands, Guo Yang didn't know what to talk about, and the other party didn't continue to send messages.
For Lin Keqing, he had a complicated heart.
The first impression at the rooftop farm was good, and the subsequent contacts were also good. But when I later found out that the leaders above were deliberately trying to match up, my feelings changed a bit.
I didn’t expect that the leader’s joke was really not a joke.
He would occasionally speculate that the higher-ups might have guessed that there was something special about him, after all, Jiahe had produced so many perverted seeds.
Alfalfa No. 1, Tianyu series, Tiandou series, Tianmai series, and even current energy tree species...
Although everything seems reasonable under the arrangement of the seed store, it is not ruled out that someone can detect clues.
So he won't go abroad easily now.
But it may be that he is overthinking it. What if the leader just wants to arrange a marriage and contribute to the revitalization of China?
Just when Guo Yang was thinking wildly, Lin Keqing's message came over again.
"What are you doing?"
Guo Yang didn't think too much. He subconsciously wanted to reply and was in a daze. He stopped when he was about to click send.
Suddenly I was thinking, if I post like this, how should others respond?
It's not like the two of them have never chatted in the past. They both took the initiative, but the chat often ended after a short time.
Sometimes I don’t know how to get back to it, and then as time goes by and I get distracted, I forget about it.
After hesitating, Guo Yang deleted these words again. What did he want to do just now?
Oh, watch the video.
What video to watch?
Guo Yang thought for a while before replying: "I'm going to watch the documentary "Beautiful China" for a while."
On the other side, Lin Keqing texted the words "What are you doing?" and then stared at his phone and waited. Just when he thought Guo Yang was doing something else again, the message came.
Beautiful China?
Lin Keqing was excited for a moment. She had just watched this film recently, and it was also one of her favorite documentaries. In an instant, various pictures appeared in her mind.
From brightly lit metropolises to remote mountains and forests;
From the vast steppes to the inaccessible desert Gobi;
From the snow-covered mountains to the endless plains;
From the vast earth to the blue sea and sky...
But if she sends this text, it will definitely be silent as before.
After hesitating for a while, she still sent a normal text, with a special question at the end.
"I just watched it. It's a good documentary. Which episode is your favorite, senior brother?"
After waiting for a while, when the other party didn't reply, she sent another message,
"I think Caiyunzhinan has the best photos, especially the Asian wild elephants and Yunnan golden monkeys in Yunnan. They are well-behaved and obedient, unlike the monkeys in Mount Emei who snatch bags and beat people."
Which episode do you like?
He hasn’t seen it at all!
Guo Yang lightly patted his face with his left hand, "You are so smart, why don't you say that five acres of land can be exchanged for Daben?"
But then I thought about it, Lin Keqing may not have seen Five Acres for a Big Ben.
After thinking for a moment, Guo Yang sent two messages in succession.
"I'm just going to watch it tonight. Jiahe also has an aerial photography project, and I plan to learn from the successful experiences of BBC and CCTV."
"Ha, have you also been beaten by a monkey from Mount Emei?"
Guo Yang thought of another sentence and sent it out.
"Sure enough, every time a well-behaved monkey appears, the Emeishan old man will be violently attacked by the Internet."
Lin Keqing: Hahaha, does Emeishan Laobiao refer to Emeishan monkeys?
Guo Yang: joking, joking.
Lin Keqing: This is so interesting. This sentence is also very interesting and vivid, hahaha...
Guo Yang also smiled softly, taking advantage of his old cousin from Emeishan. This time the two of them chatted for a long time.
One bag was snatched by a monkey.
One was hit over the head with a peanut shell by a monkey.
There were also some comments on aerial photography interspersed in the middle. Guo Yang also looked for film sources on the computer while chatting, but couldn’t find them...
Fortunately, there are old friends from Emeishan.
He is also familiar with Asian elephants. When the Yunnan Asian elephant herds moved northward en masse, it was during the epidemic. He was busy at home, so he followed the elephant herds online every day.
There were also reporters who followed and reported in real time, and even a documentary "All the Way to the North" was released for this purpose.
And he also watched "Aerial Photography of China".
The two chatted about this for a long time, and finally fell asleep after saying good night to each other.
The days passed like this.
…
The day before New Year's Day, Guo Yang got up early.
After arriving at the company, he realized that he had been emptied. He was so angry that he immediately called Xie Shijie, "Where are the citrus fruits I wanted?"
"Huh?" Xie Shijie woke up immediately, "Isn't it here yet? I'll call and ask right away."
After a while, Guo Yang knew the situation. The road was far away and it was dark in winter. The car couldn't drive fast, but it was already very close. It would take more than an hour.
At this time, Guo Yang's anger also subsided, and he even began to worry about Yang Xu's personal safety.
Only now did he know that Yang Xu had specially transferred from Guizhou Province to Sichuan Province in order to bring back this car of Lingyan Citrus on time. Before that, he had been assisting in the declaration of rocky desertification projects in Guizhou Province.
And Yang Xu also knew that he was going to give away the spiritual flame.
But there was nothing he could do to worry, and Guo Yang couldn't call again, as he was afraid that calling Yang Xu would make him more anxious.
So, I could only go back to the office, turn on the air conditioner, sit in a chair, and couldn't sleep, so I just looked through my work records and plans.
Taking a quick look at it, he may be more concerned about two things throughout January.
The first is Huinong.com’s New Year’s Day, and the financing allocation was finally in place before New Year’s Day.
Before financing, 10% of the option pool had been reserved for management, and 30% of the shares were released, raising US$1.65 billion.
Guo Yang had previously thought of using most of these funds for the New Year Festival.
But the time was too tight, with only ten days, and it was the Spring Festival travel season, which put great pressure on transportation, so the New Year Festival was canceled and replaced with channel and user subsidies.
At the same time, we will expand category promotion, and once again expand and optimize warehousing and logistics.
The video section and NIO Weibo are also products of Huinong Company, and this time they plan to develop both computer and mobile APPs.
NIO Weibo increased its investment in publicity and promotion, and took advantage of Sina Weibo to compare the thickness of its wallet before raising funds.
Video mainly provides subsidies to UP owners and investment in ecological content such as aerial photography.
There is also a live broadcast development...
In short, it is just burning money, and investors’ money will not be burned if it is not burned.
The second thing is that Jahwa Group will announce the listing for one month at the end of the month, end the registration, and enter the qualification review stage, but the review will be very fast.
Not surprisingly, only four companies currently participate: Jiahe, Ping An Investment, Fosun Group, and HNA Commercial.
If four companies bid, Guo Yang believes that even if Jiahe bids at the lowest price, Jahwa Group will be in Jiahe's pocket.
As time goes by, the user feedback of Yuze brand is getting better and better.
Guo Yang did not explore the specific data, but he, Yu Qin, and Quan Wang's R&D team could feel the urgency of Ge Wenyao, Wang Zhuo, and Chen Zhicheng.
From time to time, he would receive greetings from Ge Wenyao.
Even Lin Keqing occasionally revealed to him in the past two days that Chen Zhicheng, the head of the Yuze brand, was in Feilan City every three days.
This already explains the problem.
Just when he was complacent, the phone suddenly rang, it was Yang Xu.
"Boss, I'll be downstairs of the company right away."
