Chapter 127 Crazy Iteration (Additional Update)
After sending teachers from Shizishan Agricultural University to the high-speed rail station.
Jiang Miao called the business secretary Liu Deming again and asked him to contact Yang Hejun, the chairman of Chengyi Group, and schedule a meeting with him next week.
Since it was the end of the month, he took another look at the work briefings of each department.
His focus is mainly on finance and personnel.
In terms of finance, the company's revenue hit a new high in November, with total revenue from various industries reaching 814.05 million yuan.
Among them, eel fry are 401.37 million yuan and eel meat products are 22.57 million yuan.
Tomatoes cost 2.64 million yuan, ginseng fruits cost 3.52 million yuan, white truffles cost 21.36 million yuan, strawberries cost 4.18 million yuan, and camellia seeds cost 93.25 million yuan.
Egyptian pond lice No. 4 feed cost 24.27 million yuan, eel feed 170.25 million yuan, crude fish oil 15.71 million yuan, fish balls, fish meat and live fish 42.53 million yuan, catering 8.99 million yuan, and jewelry, gold and silver ornaments 3.51 million yuan.
Excluding production costs, gross profit was 525.31 million yuan.
Jiang Miao was not surprised by this revenue and gross profit. After all, as various projects are gradually put into production, the company's revenue will definitely skyrocket.
However, when he looked at the cost, he found that the main expenditure was on purchasing Egyptian pond lice, with a total expenditure of about 180 million. The total expenditure on other costs was just over 100 million.
However, the profits generated by purchasing the derivative products after the Egyptian pond lice are not bad. The revenue is about 251 million yuan, and the profit is almost 50 million yuan.
It also reduces eel feeding costs in farms.
However, these revenues did not bring much profit to the company's overall finances.
The main reason is that the industrial expansion speed of Hailufeng Company is too fast, and a lot of funds are used for expansion.
For example, the renovation project of more than 50,000 acres of durian plantation, investment in the construction of Gannan Camellia oleifera planting base, Luling Camellia oleifera planting base, investment in Hongcao Town strawberry planting base and Zhuzishan hydropower comprehensive project, etc.
However, since the Zhuzishan project, the Xinxiang headquarters building project, and the Xinxiang Dongtian employee community project are loan projects, it is enough to repay Shanmei Rural Commercial Bank tens of millions every month.
Spreading the expenses of other items over each month also becomes acceptable.
Jiang Miao took a look and found that the company's net profit this month was still about 270 million yuan.
After investing in so many projects, Hailufeng's capital reserves are still as high as 840 million, and there is no sign of any liquidity difficulties at all.
This gives him more confidence to go north to Monan next year.
Money is the courage of heroes.
With such a huge amount of cash on hand and monthly revenue, even if the investment in Monan fails, Hailufeng Company can afford it.
He wants to invest in a large farm in Monan. On the one hand, the current international environment is not good, and at the same time, because of the frequent occurrence of extreme weather around the world, the prices of bulk agricultural products have been rising.
Taking soybeans as an example, the current CIF price is generally around 4,300 to 4,500 yuan per ton. The price at this time last year was still around 3,800 to 3,900 yuan per ton.
Some people may think that soybeans are not used to squeeze soybean oil. If Hailufeng Company's camellia oleifera is widely promoted, wouldn't it be able to replace a large part of soybean oil? Do you still need to worry about rising soybean prices?
However, soybean oil is not a simple oil crop, but a bulk commodity that is biased towards feed. The soybean meal after being squeezed is related to the cost of domestic pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, and some aquatic products.
Essentially, soybean prices determine domestic meat prices.
Therefore, it is necessary for Hailufeng Company to increase its domestic chips.
Since it is relatively difficult and strict to apply for varieties of grain and oil crops such as soybeans, wheat, corn, and rice, if Hailufeng Company wants to promote it quickly, it can only achieve results first.
Otherwise, if you hold an unverified soybean variety and want to ask the authorities to cooperate with you in promoting it, I am afraid you are overthinking it.
Jiang Miao estimated that Hailufeng Company would need to plant at least several hundred thousand acres at a time to demonstrate the superiority of the variety.
Don't even think about hundreds of thousands of acres of land suitable for large-scale mechanized production in the south. The North China Plain is also very difficult. The only places to choose are the Northeast Plains, Monan Grassland and Sandy Land, and the Western Regions.
Considering the water consumption, we can only choose from the northeast and eastern Monan.
After all, no matter how drought-resistant soybeans are, they also require a certain amount of local precipitation. Similar to places in the Western Regions where the average annual precipitation is only a few tens of millimeters and evaporation is very scary, soybeans cannot be grown unless there are rivers and reservoirs. .
The areas close to rivers and reservoirs have long been occupied by local farmers, enterprises, and production corps.
Therefore, the Western Region can be excluded.
On the contrary, the Horqin Sandy Land in eastern Monan is very suitable for Hailufeng Company to invest.
There are currently three new varieties of soybeans developed by Jiang Miao, all of which can adapt to the sandy environment of Horqin Sandy Land.
Yes, the new varieties he studied can be planted directly on sandy soil. As long as the land is leveled, the seeds can be sown directly, and then watered once. In about 10 days, these soybean seeds will take root and germinate.
As long as these soybeans take root and germinate, water them twice more in the first week after taking root and germinate. After that, there is no need to water again, because their root genes have mutated to develop a special water storage structure, and their leaves have also mutated to be able to store water at night. The ability to collect dew, the water stored in the two waterings, and the dew absorbed by the leaves at night are enough to make them completely unnecessary for watering during the subsequent growth cycle.
Of course, if the water supply is increased, the yield per acre of these soybeans will be greatly increased.
This is one of the reasons why Jiang Miao chose Horqin Sandy Land. Local soybeans are usually planted in May, and Horqin Sandy Land happens to have rainfall in June, July and August. Even in the northern part of the relatively dry sandy land, the rainfall in these months Precipitation can still reach 210 to 320 mm.
According to Jiang Miao's estimation, if these three varieties of soybeans are planted in a place with no precipitation at all, the yield per mu can only reach about 150 kilograms with only two waterings and night dew.
However, if there is 50 millimeters of precipitation during the planting period, the yield per mu will reach about 200 kilograms; if there is 200 millimeters of precipitation, the yield per mu will continue to rise to about 250 kilograms; if there is 400 millimeters of precipitation, the yield per mu will reach About 300 kg.
If the rainfall exceeds 400 mm, the yield increase effect of these three soybean varieties will plummet, and the maximum yield per mu can only reach about 339 kilograms. This is the result tested by Jiang Miao in his own experimental field.
Although there are situations where you have to rely on God for your livelihood.
However, these three varieties of soybeans have a guaranteed yield of 150 kilograms per mu in the face of extreme weather, which is very critical.
In order to study these three varieties, Jiang Miao conducted a total of five iterations in a 10-acre experimental field from September last year to November this year.
The first generation produced seeds by inducing genetic mutations, and then selected dozens of better varieties, planted and hybridized them, and harvested a large number of hybrid soybean seeds.
In the second generation, the previous steps are repeated, inducing mutations, selecting improved seeds, and planting hybrids.
This was repeated for five generations.
It wasn't until November that he finally identified three brand new varieties.
These three varieties of soybeans are:
Xiandou No. 1: small particles, balanced and resistant to severe saline-alkali type, average growth cycle is 102 days, drought-resistant, has water-storing root balls and dew-absorbing leaves, can be planted in areas without precipitation, yield per mu is 150-320 kg, 50 milliliters The rainfall is 213 kg per meter, 264 kg for 200 mm, and 302 kg for 400 mm. The limit is 320 kg; the average oil content of soybeans is 26.7%, and the average soybean protein content is 45.2%.
Xiandou No. 2: medium grain, high oil type, with an average growth cycle of 98 days, drought-tolerant, with water-storing root balls and dew-absorbing leaves, and can be planted in areas without precipitation. The yield per mu is 142 to 303 kg, and 50 mm of precipitation is 188 kg. 200mm of precipitation 231 kg, 400 mm of precipitation and 289 kg, with a limit of 303 kg; the average oil content of soybeans is 29.3%, the average soybean protein content is 40.1%, and the monounsaturated fatty acid content in the oil reaches 44.2%.
Xiandou No. 3: Large grain, high protein type, with an average growth cycle of 105 days, drought-tolerant, with water-storing root balls and dew-absorbing leaves. It can be planted in areas without precipitation. The yield per mu is 173-339 kg, and 50 mm of precipitation is 224 kg. There is 276 kilograms of precipitation at 200 millimeters, 321 kilograms at 400 millimeters, and the limit is 339 kilograms; the average oil content of soybeans is 15.2%, and the average soybean protein content is 52.7%.
Currently, about 1 ton of seeds of each variety has been harvested.
For the next large-scale planting in Monan, Jiang Miao has decided to use the idle rice fields in Magong Town and Hongcao Town in winter to plant two crops of soybeans
After all, 1 ton of soybean seeds can only plant 150 to 200 acres of land. If we don’t hurry up and plant more crops, we will definitely not be able to collect hundreds of thousands of acres of soybean seeds by then.
It's almost December now. If you keep planting, you can harvest one crop at the end of February next year; plant another crop at the beginning of March next year, and harvest another crop at the beginning of June next year.
It’s almost enough to plant hundreds of thousands of acres.
Although after harvest, farms in Horqin Sandy Land can only plant in June, which will be a little later than the local soybean farming season.
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, only one crop can be planted in Horqin Sandy Land a year, and it’s not too late to harvest in mid-September.
And there is another benefit of planting in Horqin sandy land, that is, the summer precipitation in the Monan region has been steadily increasing in recent years. If you are lucky, you may encounter local precipitation exceeding 400 mm.
This helps improve overall production.
Therefore, Lu Weibin, who had just settled the issue of the location of the farm and durian processing factory in Fair Town, was called to the office by Jiang Miao as soon as he returned to the company.
"Lao Lu, I have a task for you." Jiang Miao poured him tea while talking.
"Boss, what's the mission?" Lu Weibin took out the small notebook and ballpoint pen he carried with him.
Jiang Miao put down the teapot and explained to him: "I want you to find farmers in Magong Town and Hongcao Town and ask them to use their idle rice fields in winter to make soybean seedling bases for us. Subsidy them 500 yuan per mu. After the soybean seeds are planted, they are purchased at 4.5 yuan per kilogram.”
"When will it start?" "Start immediately. The company will open a large farm in Monan next June and may need thousands of tons of soybean seeds."
"So urgent?"
"Yeah, and you have to plant two crops before you can get enough seeds."
Lu Weibin frowned: "Before June next year? In other words, there are only six months left until the end of the year? Is this too late?"
"There is enough time. The growth cycle of new soybean varieties is about 98 to 105 days. After harvesting at the end of February, the farmland must be prepared in advance and one more crop should be planted immediately. The harvest can be done almost in early June."
"Is that so? Then I will arrange it as soon as possible. How many acres will the first batch be?"
"About 600 acres."
"Okay." Lu Weibin took a sip of tea, took the information given by Jiang Miao, and took several colleagues from the planting business department to Shioding Village, which still had farmland.
He didn't delay and called Lin Taizhong, the mayor of Shioding Village.
Not a moment.
Lin Taizhong hurried to the village committee office building with several village cadres.
"Hoo... Manager Lu, what's the matter?"
Lu Weibin got straight to the point: "Village Chief Lin, I have something to help you with."
"Please tell me that as long as we can do our best, we will definitely help Manager Lu solve the problem." Lin Taizhong quickly expressed his position. After all, Hailufeng Company is the God of Wealth of Yanding Village, and he would not dare to offend the other party.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that our company wants to experiment with a new variety of soybeans, but there is no farmland over there in Nanhu. I would like to ask the villagers of Yanding Village to plant them, with a subsidy of 500 yuan per mu, and the soybeans grown will be purchased for 4.5 yuan per kilogram. .”
"Really?" Lin Taizhong didn't expect such a good thing.
"We will sign contracts with farmers."
After hearing this guarantee, Lin Taizhong immediately asked: "Manager Lu, how many acres do you need?"
"At least 200 acres."
"Give me a day and I'll raise it all right away."
"Then I'll trouble Village Chief Lin."
"The villagers will definitely rush for such a good thing with just a little effort." Lin Taizhong doesn't think this kind of thing is difficult.
After all, the rice fields in Shiomachi Village are not cultivated in winter, and rice will not be planted until March next year.
However, he still asked for details: "Manager Lu, we have never planted soybeans here. I'm worried that the villagers can't manage it well. We also need to plant rice in March next year. Will we be late?"
"Don't worry, our soybean planting cycle is only 98 to 105 days, and the management is very extensive. We only need 8 kilograms of compound fertilizer per acre. Our company will send agricultural technicians to guide us on how to manage it." On the way here, Lu Weibin Detailed information on three soybean varieties has been viewed.
"About a hundred days?" Lin Taizhong pinched his fingers: "It will be ready to harvest at the end of February?"
"Yes."
"That's no problem. I'll help you find it as soon as possible."
"If you get it together, just call my assistant."
Lu Weibin's assistant quickly gave Lin Taizhong his business card.
Watching Lu Weibin leave in a hurry, Lin Taizhong patted the accountant Lao Zhang on the shoulder: "Lao Zhang, don't you have 60% of the land at home? Do you want to plant it?"
"Seed, idleness is idle anyway."
"Give me one share, and I will get 8 shares of farmland in my village."
After a while, six or seven village cadres raised 4 acres of land, and then started to find closer relatives through phone calls and WeChat.
More than three hours later, the 200 acres of planting quota were divided up by the villagers of Shioding Village.
Lin Taizhong quickly called these people over to confirm the share.
The village committee of Shioding Village suddenly became lively. Dozens of villagers gathered in groups and discussed the matter in low voices.
"Uncle, does Boss Jiang really subsidize 500 yuan per acre?" Lin Yongqiang asked while giving his uncle Lin Taizhong a Hibiscus King.
"Of course it's true. Why did Boss Jiang lie to us?" Lin Taizhong took the cigarette and pinned it to his ear: "But didn't your rice fields have fish ponds dug?"
Lin Yongqiang showed his big white teeth: "My family still has a vegetable plot on the north slope. Anyway, I have been growing sweet potatoes in the past few years. I will borrow a tractor to plow the land tomorrow."
"Oh? North slope? Watering that place is more troublesome!"
"It doesn't matter, I bought a water pump the day before yesterday."
"Okay then! How big is that vegetable field?"
"8 points."
Lin Taizhong took out a small book, wrote Lin Yongqiang's name, and then marked 8 points of Beipo after his name.
On the other side, Lu Weibin did not forget Jiang Miao's hometown, Xinxiang. In the same way, he gave Xinxiang his 200 acres of planting share.
Finally, there is Lu Weibin’s hometown, Jinding Village.
Lu Weibin, who had returned to his hometown in fine clothes, felt secretly happy when he looked at the village chief Wang Jianxin and others who were arrogant in front of him and respectful in the rear.
"Brother Jianxin, please arrange it as soon as possible!"
"No problem, Weibin, you will take care of the village, and we will make sure this matter is handled beautifully for you." Wang Jianxin promised, patting his chest.
"Then once you've finished it, call my assistant directly."
"No problem."
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"It's okay, it's okay, just get busy!"
Lu Weibin allocated 600 acres of planting shares. It was already five o'clock in the evening. He hurriedly drove back to the company with several colleagues. When he returned to the company, he could just clock in and get off work.
A group of people came to the restaurant in the experimental area to prepare for dinner.
I happened to meet Jiang Miao and Jiang Haibo who were also having dinner.
He took a box of lunch and came to the table next to Jiang Miao: "Boss, 600 acres of land for planting soybeans have been arranged. I have arranged it for Yanding Village, Xinxiang and Jinding Village. It should be completed tomorrow."
< br>
"Thank you." Jiang Miao was quite satisfied with his efficiency.
"It should be." Lu Weibin did not get carried away. The fact that he could handle this matter so smoothly was not due to him, but because he borrowed the tiger skins from Hailufeng Company and Jiang Miao. Then he asked again:
< br>
"Boss, if according to your arrangement, the fields for the second crop of soybeans must be prepared in advance, I think they can be arranged in Nanfen Village and Xihe Village near the strawberry planting base in Hongcao Town. There happens to be a large area of dry land there, but there is It shouldn't be enough." Lu Weibin is very familiar with the surrounding situation.
He thought for a moment and added again: "If Pubian Village, Nanyang Village, Wuya Village, Wuwei Village, Xiaya Village, and Yaqing Village are included, 6,000 acres of dry land should be raised."
Jiang Miao shook his head: "It's not enough. The first crop of 600 acres can harvest almost 180,000 kilograms and plant about 36,000 acres."
In this regard, Lu Weibin thought hard for a while and found that there was no such large area of dry land near the city. He could only suggest: "If this is the case, we can only go to Lufeng, where there is a large area of dry land."
Jiang Miao reminded: "That's all we can do. It's far away from the city. Your planting division has set up a temporary office there. These tens of thousands of acres of soybeans are related to our company's next strategy, so we can't be careless."
"Okay."
