Chapter 173 The Eve (Medium Cup)
Looking at Wang Fa’s back as he hurriedly left in the car.
Manager Liang touched his chin thoughtfully.
Academician Li, Zhang Zhiyong and others also walked forward a few hundred meters.
Unconsciously, by the time Manager Liang caught up, everyone had arrived at the pasture area formed by three large sand dunes.
In the relatively flat area, the forage soybeans have been harvested, leaving only about 10 centimeters of bottom branches.
Academician Li squatted down again and looked at the soybeans that had been harvested once. The bottom branches had sprouted again, and many of the newly sprouted vine buds had one or two true leaves.
“Second germination?” A researcher on the side widened his eyes.
“It has indeed sprouted a second time.” A researcher with Mediterranean hair also squatted down and carefully observed the second crop of soybean vines around him.
Zhang Zhiyong said with a smile: "I heard Mr. Jiang say before that the fairy bean series can survive the winter with perennial roots and achieve perennial growth."
Academician Li feels more shocked today than he has in the past few decades: "This variety can also survive the winter as a ratoon and grow as a perennial?"
"Yes, judging from the current situation, there should not be too many perennials. Big problem, after all, these feed soybeans sprouted again after four or five days of harvesting, which shows that this variety does have perennial characteristics." Zhang Zhiyong took a sip of water to soothe his dry throat, and then continued. He continued:
“As for the ratoon overwintering, we need to further verify this. If the root system of the soybean can germinate again in March and April next year, it can basically be confirmed.”
"No." Academician Li Peiwu shook his head: "Even if it is impossible to survive the winter with this ratoon, this variety is still of great value."
"Indeed."
"I also think this variety has huge potential."
A group of researchers were discussing it.
Manager Liang, who had just caught up, came to Liu Zhiben's side and asked in a low voice: "Manager Liu, do you still plant pasture?"
"It's soybeans, this sandy terrain The undulations are relatively large, and if it needs to be bulldozed, the amount of work would be too great, so it will be used directly as pasture," Liu Zhiben explained with a smile.
"Manager Liu, how many tons of fodder did you harvest in the first crop?"
"2.3 tons of fresh grass per mu."
"So much? What about the crude protein content?"
"About 27%."
Manager Liang, as Beidahuang Group The business manager of the company naturally knew about pasture cultivation and the nutritional index of various types of pasture. He was very surprised: "So high?"
Liu Zhiben did not hide anything and explained directly: "The variety used as pasture is Xiandou No. 3. If this variety is fully mature, its soybean protein content is generally around 52%, which is A high-protein variety with a relatively high yield per mu.”
"The protein content is 52%?!" Manager Liang was shocked again: 'No wonder the overall protein content is so high after being used as pasture. ’
At this moment.
Academician Li looked at Manager Liang and Liu Zhiben who were whispering. He walked over and asked sincerely: "Manager Liu, can you answer some questions for me?"
" No problem." Liu Zhiben nodded first, and then added: "As long as it does not involve company secrets."
"If it involves your company's secrets, Manager Liu can remind me." After thinking about it, Academician Li asked: "Your company should have a research report on the fairy bean variety, right? I read it before The variety declaration materials do not reflect the relevant content of perennials and ratoons over winter.”
"These three varieties were applied for last year. At that time, we only planted them initially and found no other characteristics. Later, after planting on a small scale, we discovered some unexpected characteristics. After experimental planting again, we decided to plant them in Monan "Large-scale experiments in desert areas." Liu Zhiben responded fluently according to Jiang Miao's instructions.
Academician Li continued to ask: "I am very curious as to why your soybeans can be grown in the desert. Do you have a detailed research report? Is it convenient for us to study it?"
"No. Our boss has explained the problem. If you want to know, we can give you an internal research document." Liu Zhiben said while asking his assistant to take out a pre-printed second phase research report on the new variety of fairy bean.
The moment he saw the research report, Academician Li couldn't help but become excited. He quickly took it and browsed it carefully.
Several other researchers also crowded around and looked at the contents of the report attentively.
After a while.
Academician Li handed the document to one of the researchers, then his eyes became solemn, and he pulled Manager Liang and Liu Zhiben to the sand dunes in the distance.
He asked with a serious expression: "Manager Liu, can this soybean variety of your company really transform the soil?"
Liu Zhiben nodded, then he squatted down and opened a tree The sandy soil at the roots of the soybean vine: "Academician Li, look at it!"
Academician Li dug up a few pieces of root similar to yam eggs from the roots of the soybean vine. His expression became more serious and dignified: "It's incredible. You are an incredible breed.”
Manager Liang, who is an executive of a large agricultural company like Beidahuang Group, also came to his senses. He also had a very solemn expression, and then looked at Liu Zhiben in surprise: "Your Hailufeng Company and Monan State-owned Assets Operation Company jointly United Mining, do you really want to plant those hundreds of millions of acres of desert with soybeans?"
"It depends!" Liu Zhiben's answer was ambiguous.
“This is too much! The global soybean market will collapse in an instant.” Manager Liang seems to have seen the future of the collapse of the soybean planting industry in America, South America, and Lucia.
Academician Li was also frightened so much that his heart was pounding, and he quickly persuaded: "Manager Liu, please persuade Mr. Jiang not to transform the desert on a large scale first. I will go to Beijing immediately. This matter has been It’s not an ordinary thing.”
“Indeed.” Manager Liang felt that this matter was no small matter.
Liu Zhiben smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry! Our company's engineering team can only transform about 70,000 acres of desert every month. Even for relatively flat sandy land, it can only transform about 100,000 acres every month. , It’s only more than one million acres a year, so it doesn’t matter for the time being.”
He is so calm because there is still a tall man like Jiang Miao to hold up the sky, and it increases by more than a hundred a year. The impact of tens of thousands of acres of desert soybean fields or soybean pastures on the world soybean market is not as great as imagined.
United Mining has already circled the large desert areas in the Monan region that are relatively easy to develop in advance, in order to prevent other capital from rushing into this market uncontrollably.
As long as United Mining holds the contract rights to these deserts, other companies will have no way to use Senzu soybeans to transform desert sand into farmland on a large scale.
Of course, Jiang Miao has actually predicted the official next move.
The cards have been made.
The smart people above will react quickly.
That evening.
Academician Li, Manager Liang and other five people took the high-speed train for several hours and finally arrived in the capital around 8pm.
A conference room.
Holding the second phase research report on the Immortal Bean series passed over from Liu Zhiben, Academician Li said with a serious expression: "...To sum up, the Immortal Bean series of soybean varieties developed by Hailufeng Company has five advantages. They are..."
"First , is due to the drought-tolerant characteristics, which means that this variety can be widely planted in the vast deserts of the south and northwest. Without considering the ecological impact, the available cultivated land or grassland in the country will increase by 1 billion acres. ”
Hiss! The people present, no matter how good they were at cultivating qi, could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Second, it is the impact of salt-alkali resistance. Xiandou No. 1 has the property of moderate to severe salt-alkali resistance. This variety can turn 520 million acres of domestic saline-alkali land into usable farmland and pasture. . ”
Even if part of the desert sand and saline-alkali land overlap, this means that the total area can be increased by at least 1.2 to 1.3 billion acres.
"Third, there is a common feature of the fairy bean series, that is, after its roots have accumulated enough nutrients and water, they can cultivate 10 centimeters of nutritious soil in the sand every five years or so. Between the clay, red soil, black soil and loess, In this type of soil, 5 to 8 cm of nutrient soil can be formed every 5 years.”
"Fourth, the fairy bean series can be mixed with some crops. Through the water retention and condensation characteristics of the fairy beans, other crops can coexist with them, such as corn. However, corn can only be planted in some areas with relatively abundant precipitation. Area."
"Fifth, high-protein type Senzu No. 3, used as pasture. At that time, its protein value and other nutrients are basically the same as imported high-quality alfalfa, which is beneficial to the development of domestic animal husbandry."
One of the old men raised his glasses and asked cautiously: "These data can be used. Confirmed?"
Academician Li quickly replied: "Many have been confirmed. Already, Hailufeng Company has transformed 350,000 acres of desert in the Taminchakan Desert in the Horqin Sandy Land, of which 220,000 acres were leveled through simple engineering and used as soybean fields; 150,000 acres of desert were simply undulated due to the large undulations of the sand dunes. After compacting and laying out the grass squares, sow the root pieces of fairy beans directly.”
After taking a breath, Academician Li continued: "Of the 220,000 acres of soybean fields, Manager Liang and I have conducted field sampling surveys. The estimated yield per mu is between 300 and 320 kilograms, which is a super-high-yielding soybean." "Yes. Yes, this is a sample..." Manager Liang, whose hands were trembling slightly with nervousness, was so stressed that he quickly took the snakeskin bag from the security personnel on the side and took out more than a dozen soybeans one by one.
Everyone present got one.
Academician Li explained to everyone how to estimate the soybean yield per mu in easy-to-understand terms:
“You can observe that these soybean pods have pods on each soybean vine. There are 24 to 30 pods, and each pod usually bears 3 soybeans. , a small part is 2 soybeans per pod, which means that each soybean vine produces 60 to 64 soybeans, that is, 1 seed produces 60 to 64 soybeans. Calculated based on 5 kilograms of seeds per acre of soybean field, that is 1 mu. The yield is about 300 to 320 kilograms. ”
One of the sharp-eyed old men asked: "Academician Li, if I heard correctly just now, this fairy bean soybean can survive the winter and be perennial, so even in Monan, it can be harvested twice a year?"< br>
Academician Li nodded: "Theoretically, this is the case , but this feature has only been realized in Hailufeng’s smart greenhouse simulation experimental field before. Whether it can survive the winter safely in the natural environment of Monan still depends on the budding situation next spring.”
Even if it is. In this way, everyone is already very satisfied with Sendou Soybeans.
An old man with a big back thought for a while, opened his eyes and said slowly: "I heard that the joint mining joint venture between Hailufeng Company and Monan State-owned Assets Operation Company has contracted hundreds of millions of acres of desert? It seems that Jiang Miao is very confident. Yeah! ”
“Should we approve large-scale planting?”
"Approval must be granted, but we cannot blindly expand the scale."
"By the way, Academician Li, can the fairy bean series be seeded?"
Academician Li nodded helplessly: “You can save seeds because soybeans are autoflowering. Pollinated crops, unless gene editing is performed artificially, can all be planted."
6◇9◇书◇Bar
"This is more troublesome. We have no way to control the seedlings. To protect.”
"Perhaps we should ask the creator of the fairy bean series? After all, he is the father of these soybeans, and he must know better than us."
"That makes sense."
"Then let Jin Let’s go there specially!”
“To get back to the subject, there is no doubt that Xiandou soybean must be promoted on a large scale in China, but how to promote it is a skill, and you should have noticed it, right?”
< br>“Financial markets?”
"This is a major event that affects the whole body. It will not only affect the soybean futures market, but also affect other bulk agricultural product futures such as feed and oilseeds."
"Financial speculation is okay, but it must be handled with caution. It's so sensible, after all, the loss is too serious, maybe they will just pull out the network cable," one of the old men reminded with a sneer.
"Well, this news can't be kept secret for long. Arrange it as soon as possible. After all, ABCD has subsidiaries and joint ventures in China. Once Hailufeng Company's soybean feed is sold, it will probably take a few weeks to react. "
"A few weeks is enough. Just eat tens of billions to avoid getting stuck."
"How to arrange the promotion of Xiandou soybeans?"
"Didn't United Mining contract hundreds of millions of acres of desert sand? Divide these desert sands into four and conduct secondary subcontracting. The subcontracting price should be three times their contract price! United Mining develops Hunsanda by itself The Kesha Land, the Ulan Buh Desert were handed over to the Monan area, and the Tengger Desert was handed over to the Northern Areas. It will be developed by Dahuang Group and the Badain Jaran Desert will be developed by COFCO Group. "
"Production capacity must be well controlled, a production plan should be formulated every year, and strategic reserve management should be done well. If the imported feed and oil channels cannot be normal. If it is to be put into operation, it will take one year for the country to The soybean production capacity in the country will be increased to 100 million tons, which will probably require the transformation of 200 million acres of desert sand in advance."
"The desert over there in the Beiting area of the Western Region can also be used as an alternative. The rainfall is okay.”
“The remaining small desert in Monan. What to do with the sandy land? ”
“Let’s do this! All the Horqin sandy land where Hailufeng Company is located will be developed by Hailufeng Company. The contract price is 150 yuan per mu. Okay. A small area of sandy, saline-alkali land is open to the market. ”
The small areas of sandy and saline-alkali land in other places actually add up to a large area, but they are too scattered, so it is better to leave them to local governments for free development.
“Sandy and saline-alkali lands in other places can be opened to the market, but the amount released must be controlled.”
“It makes sense. After all, the large-scale desert sandy lands that have been planned are almost the same. There are 200 million acres. Even if only a quarter is developed, it is still 50 million acres. Therefore, the area open to the market must not exceed 50 million acres. Otherwise, given the current situation, soybean production capacity will soon exceed demand. ”
“ Agree ”
“ Soybean production capacity should be controlled at 50 to 60 million tons per year, and the remaining gap will be imported. To fill the gap, we will take advantage of this opportunity to severely damage ABCD’s food industry layout in South America.”
"Haha, we can just settle the accounts with ABCD for that year."
Obviously, everyone present did not have the slightest favorable impression of ABCD. In the early 2000s, Siris was destroyed by ABCD in the soybean industry, and then lost feed and Oil has a large say in the matter, and this matter has always been a concern in the country.
Now we not only need to avenge the past, but also severely weaken ABCD and break their global industrial layout.
Suddenly one of them remembered something: "The protection of Jiang Miao and Hailufeng Company must be strengthened, especially Jiang Miao's personal safety. ABCD will not give up."
"Let Jintang arrange it!"
"Okay."
"We need to find something for ABCD to do so that they will not be too busy."
"How about this! In the near future, we will hold some events related to food and feed in Magic City and Yangcheng. , food-related summit forums, attracting all executives of ABCD’s domestic subsidiaries and joint ventures. , and at the same time let some experts make some eye-catching remarks to numb them first.”
“This method is good”
After more than four hours of discussion, everyone formulated a series of ideas. Strategy, and Academician Li and others were present at the beginning of the explanation, and then quickly left the conference room.
That night.
The dedicated hotlines were dialed one after another.
Relevant personnel from all over the world have received the notice, but they are unclear about the meaning behind the notice.
Because many things seem to be unrelated, without observing from a global perspective, one can only be blind and touch the elephant. By the time the elephant can be seen clearly, it will be too late.
For example, the Seris Food Security Summit Forum will be held in Shanghai, and the Seris Feed Industry Conference will be held in Yangcheng.
The organizers didn’t even know the twists and turns behind it.
Academician Li, Manager Liang and others who may know the connection have also received relevant notices, telling them not to talk about last night's events with anyone in the near future.
As the major shareholder of United Mining, Monan State-owned Assets Operation Company, COFCO, Beidahuang Group, and Hailufeng Company all received notices asking them to hold a meeting in Jiayuan County, where the headquarters of United Mining is located. .
This is also a small group of people who know part of the content.
After all, if these companies are to unite and develop those desert sands in zones, they must be informed of some of the content.
The window period for the entire layout is only about one month.
Once ABCD reacts, the global bulk agricultural product futures market will inevitably fluctuate violently.
On the eve of this turbulent time.
Jiang Miao also returned to Shanmei's headquarters.
But before he entered the house, He Youwei, who had returned from the capital half a month ago, was waiting in the living room in advance.
"Teacher, my father is coming over at noon tomorrow."
"Oh?" Jiang Miao has been riding in the car, so she doesn't know what happened: "Is there something urgent?"
He Youwei said with some uncertainty: "It's about some things about Xiandou Soybean. He specifically said He didn't say anything, but it should be a good thing. In addition, my father asked me to remind the teacher that security should be strengthened in the future."
Jiang Miao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had guessed something, and then said with a smile: "I understand. .”
