Chapter 417 The Achievements of the Sand Sea
This withered yellow is not the dull yellow of the desert, nor is there a dark scene. Instead, the sky is bright and white as snow.
Against this backdrop, the withered yellow color no longer makes people fearful, but instead makes people feel full of vitality.
It is the continuous Haloxylon ammodendron forest.
In addition to Haloxylon ammodendron, there are also various other tree species mixed in the forest, such as sea buckthorn, caragana, strange willow, flower stick, Populus euphratica and so on.
Occasionally, you can see various small animals.
The sand is still there, but it is no longer scary at all.
Guo Yang replied: "Yes, we are here, Luo Xiu, stop on the higher platform in front."
"Okay."
This high platform seems to be specially designed The location set aside for parking and inspection has a good view, and you can see the surrounding forest conditions.
At this moment, Guo Yao and the other two people kept walking around, looking at the forest in surprise.
They were also villagers who lived in this area since childhood, but now, only the place names remain, and all other traces are gone.
The ruins, flying sand and rocks, abandoned farmland, abandoned houses... the original place was completely uninhabitable.
So there are all kinds of immigrants, labor immigrants, education immigrants, relatives and friends, and everyone who can leave has left.
Guo Rong and the other three were also labor immigrants and left for a foreign country. The other four and five children married away from home and have not seen each other for several years or ten years.
Now when I come to this area again, it seems that the world has completely changed, and all the scenes of decay have disappeared.
Instead, it turned into a neat woodland, and the sky became as clear and bright as the northwest grasslands.
If he hadn't been staring out the car window, silently recalling every road and every ditch, Guo Rong thought it would be difficult for him to recognize where this place was.
This is the outskirts of Qingtu Lake, a place that was once covered by the desert.
When no one noticed, Guo Rong gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Guo Yang walked in front and took the three people to the nearest Haloxylon ammodendron forest and introduced some basic information to the three people.
After that, I visited many places one after another, including sea buckthorn, Trichosanthes terrestris, Tamarix, Caragana, Ilex holly, black fruit wolfberry, Elaeagnus angustifolia and other main sand control forces.
In some areas with better conditions, we can also see economic forests of chicken heart fruit, plum, prune, pear and peach.
“Haxaul ammodendron is only an option for sand control. After preventing sandstorms, you can plant some fruit trees appropriately;
You can also choose to plant Amaranthus edulis, both of which are currently high-quality products from Jiahe Project.
Haloxylon ammodendron can parasitize Cistanche deserticola. If it is managed well and it enters the high-yield period, it will be no problem to earn three to five thousand yuan per mu. If it can be processed, the profit per mu can even reach 8,000 to 20,000 yuan. This has been verified.
In contrast, the current benefits of Asparagus sorbifolia are not yet certain, but they are not too bad.
It depends on how you choose. "
Guo Lan said: "Brother, we don't know how to do this. What if we fail? "
Guo Yang mused: "With Jiahe providing technical support, as long as you are willing to pay, the probability of success is very high. ”
"What if?" Guo Lan continued to ask: "It only took four or five years to plant this tree. We are not young. If we don't make money, we will waste time."
Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, feeling that handling this kind of household chores was more difficult than managing a company.
At this time, Guo Yao said: "Third sister, you haven't done this yet, but you are thinking so much. The resources and starting capital are all provided by my younger brother. Aren't you worrying too much about this?"< br>
“Second brother, you are It's easy to say that Zhang and Zhang are married and have children, but my Lin Lin is still single!"
Guo Lan muttered: "If you ask me, if you have this money, you can do nothing wrong and you have to go. Control Desertification,”
In fact, what she wanted to say was that since my younger brother had money, it would be better to give the money directly to them to save trouble, but it was a bit difficult for her to say this.
So, she looked at Guo Rong: "Sixth brother, do you think this is true?"
Guo Rong had already guessed what his third sister was thinking and shook his head. He shook his head and looked at Guo Yang.
"Brother, I'm planning to do it. You can help me choose one. Which one do you think is suitable for me, Haloxylon ammodendron or Adelphia genus?"
Guo Yang smiled and asked: " Sixth Brother is in Wuhai, right?”
"Yes." Guo Rong said: "I have been working in a coal factory. I can earn some money, but it is also a life of hard work. Since I am willing to support my brother in my career, I can work hard again while I can still work."
< br>"You must think clearly, Lao Liu." Guo Lan was a little dissatisfied and deliberately reminded: "You should know how difficult it is to control desertification. After a few years of work, people will have to shed their skin even if they are not dead."
< br>Guo Rong cursed a fool in his heart.
His third sister is very calculating, and she is also the same when it comes to finding a wife for her son. She cares about everything. She doesn’t like her family, and others don’t like her after she likes her. Swearing loudly has caused the reputation to collapse bit by bit.
This time I’m willing to help, but I’m already scheming even before it starts. I really don’t think I understand!
"I have figured it out a long time ago." Guo Rong said with a smile: "You are not free even in the coal factory. Little brother, just tell me what I should do!"
Guo Yang thought for a while, Wu Hai It is a resource-based city with abundant coal resources. It emerged in the 1960s due to the construction of the "Little Third Line".
However, due to industrial development, the local desertification situation is also very serious.
Guo Yang muttered: "If Brother Six still wants to stay in Wuhai, it would be best to start with Haloxylon sand control. Only when the wind and sand are controlled can we think about the next step of making money."< br>
“Okay, let’s plant Haloxylon ammodendron to control desertification first.” Guo Rong agreed readily.
Guo Yang had a better impression of Guo Rong in his heart, and then looked at Guo Yao and Guo Lan.
Guo Yao said: "I am in Dengkou, let me plant Haloxylon ammodendron first."
Guo Lan hesitated for a while before saying: "Baotou is a little far from the desert, I think Let’s try planting a tree first.”
Guo Yang nodded without sadness or joy.
Guo Lan added: "I want to try planting pears and peaches first."
"Everything is fine," Guo Yang said.
Guo Lan was immediately happy. Compared with sand control, planting pears and peaches is undoubtedly easier, and it is easier to see the results.
In fact, when she thought about it, it would be fine if Guoyuan could get by in terms of appearance, and it would be great to use the money saved to live her life.
A few people spent the whole day wandering around, and at noon they went to the project department of a base in Shahai for lunch.
After dinner, I walked around for another two or three hours in the afternoon.
With this effort, Guo Yang also roughly understood the situation of the Shahai base.
The trees on the outer edge of the desert are okay. They have grown as tall as a person in six or seven years, but the trees near the edge of the desert are not so optimistic.
Sand erosion has been severe, and some Haloxylon ammodendron trees have exposed their entangled roots.
It's just much better than the lifeless desert. These trees are just to block the wind and sand.
…
After New Year's Day, Guo Yang did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to Lu Hanbin to discuss the plan and current situation of desert control.
The area of agriculture and animal husbandry in the Sand Sea is now large enough, and desertification control has entered a new stage.
Pay more attention to the benefits brought by the industry.
At the end of 2007, Guo Yang used the seed store to cultivate a lot of psoma plants, including forage grasses and shrubs, Chinese medicinal materials, fruit trees, etc.
These varieties all have one thing in common.
It has economic value and can conserve water resources at the same time.
Nowadays, they have been used by Shahai to control desertification, and some of them have produced economic benefits.
So, Guo Yang was not surprised when he learned that Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry’s revenue this year exceeded 1.5 billion yuan.
What surprised him was that Shahai was almost breaking even.
“In addition to Cistanche deserticola, the income from animal husbandry was also quite good last year. The caragana and hollygrass cultivated by the company are both high-quality natural feeds. This year, not only black mountain pigs were put on the market, but also a lot of cattle and sheep were put on the market. The feed was also Can be sold externally. ”
In the office, Guo Yang and Lu Hanbin were making tea and chatting.
The existing desert area of Shahai exceeds 3 million acres, and more than 1 million acres can produce benefits.
Among them, nearly 200,000 acres of Cistanche deserticola parasitized by Haloxylon ammodendron have entered a period of high yield, and the output value of this part alone exceeds 1 billion yuan.
Animal husbandry also contributed to an output value of more than 200 million yuan.
Guo Yang thought for a while and said: "The rest must be contributed by the coal bosses."
Lu Hanbin laughed and said: "The coal boss has indeed made great efforts. The southern edge of the Badain Jaran Desert is almost covered by bosses and companies investing in the sand industry. A lot of seeds, seedlings and hosting service fees have been collected this year.
This summer and autumn, Chinese herbal medicines such as licorice, ephedra, and isatis root, as well as wolfberry, Elaeagnus angustifolia and other forest fruits can also produce value."
"It's done well," Guo Yang said.
Lu Hanbin smiled and said: "However, there may still be no way to hand over profits to the group. This year Shahai will also build the Wenguanguo Energy Forest."
"It's okay, the results achieved so far I am already very satisfied.”
In his previous life, Guo Yang rarely heard about the sand industry making huge profits, and most of them relied on state subsidies to barely survive.
Some large companies may have persisted for more than ten years before barely achieving certain results.
Although the sand sea is supported by varieties, the cruelty of the desert environment is there. Even ensuring the survival of trees and seeds is not small.
It has not been easy for Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry to reach this point in more than six years.
Before leaving, Guo Yang promised Lu Hanbin that when Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry makes profits, he will be given a certain amount of employee stock ownership in addition to the employee dividend plan.
This is also the first time he has made such a commitment in a company other than Huinong.com.
But he believes that when the group has developed to this point, giving executives a small amount of shares, even 0.1% or 0.5%, will bring different management benefits.
He is learning from the practices of Cargill, the leader of the four major grain merchants.
The founding family of Cargill has not personally participated in Cargill's management for a long time. Instead, it hired professional managers and gave senior executives shares after they made achievements.
This management model allows the founding family to reap profits every year.
Guo Yang will not be freed from Jiahe yet, but he also wants to relax himself and make Jiahe run more efficiently.
Lu Hanbin was also very excited about the promise he made, which was a recognition and reward for his work.
He felt lucky for his persistence over the years.
After staying for a day, Guo Yang was ready to return to Jiuquan. Before leaving, he remembered something, "By the way, Han Bin, I will send you two addresses, and you can send them some black mountain pork."< br>
“No problem.”
"Let me know after you send it, and I'll call you soon to ask." Guo Yang said with a smile on his face.
Lu Hanbin felt that the smile was a bit intriguing, so he asked one more question, "Boss, who did you send this to?"
"Director of the pig factory."
Lu Hanbin: "?"
"NetEase Ding Lei." Guo Yang smiled and said: "And Penguin Horse."
Lu Hanbin also burst out laughing. Ding Lei had been talking about raising pigs for so long, but to this day he still doesn't have a pig. …
It’s the same drive back, but I no longer drive through Wuwei.
But before arriving in Jinchang, Qi Ziwen forwarded a piece of news. The relevant departments announced that the exemption of biodiesel consumption tax would be officially implemented.
From this moment on, another large mountain placed in front of the energy forest of Amaranthus edulis and Jatropha curcas was moved away.
"It's time to take a vacation." Guo Yang looked at the withered yellow earth outside the car window and said, "Luo Xiu, you can rest when you get back. I also need to rest for a while."
Luo Xiu thought about this for a while. The meaning behind the words is: "How long will the rest last?"
Guo Yang said in deep thought: "A month."
"So long?" Luo Xiu asked in surprise: "Has the boss made an appointment with that person?"
>
Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, "Who?"
"Lin...Researcher Lin."
"No." Guo Yang shook his head. He had also been in contact with Lin Keqing in the past two days, and the agricultural products such as spiritual flames he brought back were also very popular.
After thinking about it, Guo Yang said: "Get ready to go out and play for a while during the Spring Festival."
Luo Xiu: "Then let me come with you."
"No need. Guo Yang said: "You should go home and spend time with your family. You haven't been back this year."
After being silent for a while, Luo Xiu said: "Actually, I haven't gone back for several years. In the past, I always went back to Jinling for vacations. My brother in Jinling is going to his girlfriend's house to celebrate the New Year, and I will spend it alone when I go back."
"Where is your mother? Do you really not care?"
"It's good that she has a new family. Anyway, she hasn't cared about our two brothers since they were young."
Guo Yang is also familiar with Luo Xiu's family situation. His father died young and his mother remarried. Both brothers were raised by their grandparents, but they are no longer alive.
It was also because of this that Luo Xiu joined the Jinling Qianlong Security Company and received mercenary training. The first job he received was as Guo Yang's bodyguard.
Now, it has been several years.
After thinking about it, Guo Yang said: "Okay, it's just for fun anyway."
In the evening, the two of them arrived at Jiuquan, and Guo Yang resumed his daily exercise.
After arriving at the company the next day, he began to arrange the work for the next month. Meetings were held one after another, and it took several days to make the deployment.
The heads of each subsidiary have been given more autonomy, while the headquarters has more of a supervisory role.
In fact, he also wants an agent, but currently few of the trustworthy people are interested.
There is no other way, we can only do this first.
He also wanted to see if any monsters would appear in Jiahe after leaving him.
That afternoon, Guo Yang suddenly received a call from Ding Lei, "Mr. Guo, you are sincerely trying to make me angry, right?"
Guo Yang immediately understood what was going on. What happened, I felt secretly happy, "Just tell me whether this meat is delicious?"
Ding Lei snorted and said: "It's frozen, the taste is definitely not in the most perfect state."
Guo Yang curled his lips and said: "Okay, it's quite picky, I won't send it to you next time."
"Huh? Shouldn't you invite me to be a guest in the desert?" Ding Lei asked doubtfully.
Guo Yang smiled and teased: "Huh? You have a pretty good idea. It would be great if I could send it to you. If you create a NetEase Weibo, I won't trouble anyone yet."< br>
Ding Lei laughed awkwardly and said: "Commercial things belong to business, and personal things belong to private people. Look, Lao Ma and I have a very good relationship."
"Yeah, I hope you two can stay well." Guo Yang replied, and then said: "Hang up, there's a call coming in."
Hearing the blind tone coming from the mobile phone, Ding Lei cursed, " Damn, it’s really fast.”
Then I thought about the contrast between the two pig farming industries. Jiahe’s Black Mountain pigs are full of praise, while Ding’s pigs are still stuck on the plan. It made Ding Lei feel a little uncomfortable.
On the other side, Guo Yang received a call from the Fujian Province Excellent New Energy Leaf event.
Guo Yang was not surprised at all by this call, and he also guessed what Ye Qianxi wanted to say.
Sure enough, the other party did not hesitate and said frankly that he also wanted to participate in the bioenergy industry and needed Jiahe's priority support.
Guo Yang did not break his promise and agreed.
The exemption of biodiesel consumption tax can be implemented so quickly, which is inseparable from the "Nine Hundred Yuan" plan.
The fundamental reason for Jiahe Grain and Oil’s cancellation of the edible oil price war was that public opinion about the return of gutter oil appeared in more than a dozen provinces and cities at the same time, and most of them were manipulated by Ye Qiang.
And it was done very secretly. Guo Yang once suspected that it was not Ye Qiang.
But in this call, Ye Qianqian specifically explained the context in order to ask Jiahe to provide more help.
For example, the Gushan Group in Sichuan Province was instigated by Ye Huo. Yu Jianqiu of Gushan has created several incidents in many regions in North China, East China, and Southeast China.
Excellent new energy also takes action.
For this reason, Guo Yang has made some commitments in terms of seedlings, technology, and processing equipment.
After the exemption of consumption tax, various companies came to visit, which made the demand for Jatropha curcas and Amaranthus japonica seedlings rise to a higher level again.
Even a company like Three Barrel Oil has to put in good words with Jiahe when it comes to the supply of seedlings.
Although Jiahe has built dozens of nurseries in the southwest and northwest, seedlings take time.
Energy forest results also take time.
At this time, whoever can get the seedlings first will have an advantage.
So, Ye Huanxi was very satisfied with the promise given by Guo Yang, and Jiahe's reputation was quite good in the original biodiesel circle.
Friday, January 8th.
Jiahe once again conducted housing allocation for employees, and allocated more than 2,000 houses at one time.
This time, the leaders of several branch companies, including Alghe, Tianhe, Hexi, Quanwang, Denong, and Jiahe Grain and Oil, are in charge of allocating rooms.
After attending for a while, Guo Yang disappeared from public sight.
However, as the spread of online information becomes more popular, platforms like Weibo have emerged.
Jiahe's grand housing allocation event caused a sensation across the country, with countless corporate employees expressing their envy online.
A series of names such as 'Company with the best employee benefits' and 'Fairy Company' have been attached to Jiahe.
Various media reports and interviews with celebrities are also emerging one after another. Some are praising it, some are dismissive, and some are analyzing how much money Jiahe earned last year?
No one knows the specific data.
But we can speculate from the data released by other similar companies.
In the past year, the financial crisis has profoundly affected the global economy.
The share price of ADM, one of the four major grain merchants, has fallen by half. Bunge and Louis Dreyfus are also not favored by the capital market. Even Cargill, which is not listed on the market, has reported profit data in the first three quarters. dropped by as much as 60%.
The remaining agricultural supplies, agricultural machinery and other companies are not optimistic either.
The same is true at home.
Although Jiahe's major businesses such as seeds, agricultural machinery, milk, pasture, grain and oil, supermarkets, and agricultural supplies are dazzling, there are also many irrational investments.
As so-called irrational investment, the media specifically pointed out projects such as Dunhuang West Lake, National Desert Park, and desert and river management.
Especially the Dunhuang West Lake Wetland, some media went to see it and took photos and videos.
Dunhuang West Lake Wetland is still white-flowered saline and dominated by the desolate and lonely Gobi Desert. The wetland seems to have not changed.
Some media wrote:
“During a local interview, some local villagers said that except for people from the West Lake Management Bureau, Jiahe has not even planted a tree in the wetland in recent years. A grass.
I don’t know where the 30 billion Jiahe said was invested.
Maybe this is a bottomless pit, and no matter how much profit Jiahe makes, it will be buried in it. ”
So, most people agree that Jiahe did not actually make much money in the past year.
And once Jiahe’s main business performance is not strong, subsequent problems are likely to Financial dilemma.
When Guo Yang was ice fishing in Xiangyang Lake, he couldn't help laughing when he thought of such remarks.
This was exactly the result he wanted.
If you keep a low profile, there won’t be so many people interested in Jiahe.
In fact, all the ecological governance investments made by Jiahe will bring benefits.
Jiahe’s performance report for last year has not been released yet, but Guo Yang knows that it will be the same...
"Whoosh..."
The sound of the fishing line being pulled wildly brought Guo Yang back to his senses, and Guo Yang quickly made the pole stand upright.
The fierce fight made Guo Yang grit his teeth. This long-lost feeling made his adrenaline surge and his blood boil!
An hour later, a big pike was pulled up.
He stopped being distracted and concentrated on fishing. Not far from his fishing position, a video recording device was set up, but no one was filmed.
In one day, he and Luo Xiu gained a lot.
In the evening, when Guo Yang saw Luo Xiu starting to read books and tutorials about fishing, he knew that he had fallen into the trap.
Two days later, Luo Xiu finally entered, and the fish catch slowly began to increase.
So he read his books more frequently.
Guo Yang also uploaded his first video in the video section of Huinong.com, and he plans to upload all the play records of this month online.
This Spring Festival, Guo Yang also spent his time fishing again.
During this period, Lin Keqing also invited him to the capital, but he refused.
If you go to the capital at this time, you will definitely see the old man, and you will inevitably have to visit other leaders, which is too troublesome.
I can’t fish so happily anymore.
During the Spring Festival, Guo Yang and Luo Xiu were both fishing, and they caught more and more fish.
On the Spring Festival day, Guo Yang tried cooking for the first time in the world, and a pot of stew turned out surprisingly good.
Luo Xiu suggested that he become a food blogger, but Guo Yang has a strong sense of autonomy. His cooking skills would probably be more interesting if he overturned his skills.
Before the Spring Festival holiday ended, Guo Yang contacted Lian Cun of Tianhe Seed Industry’s seed collection team.
He was planning to go to the plateau. After holding back for a year, it was almost time to cultivate new seeds.
If you have the chance, you will also go to the Bayi Glacier.
