Chapter 175 Planning (Medium Cup)
After watching He Jintang leave.
Jiang Miao returned to his office.
He opened his personal laptop, checked the information, and thought about something quietly.
On the screen, various information about the Horqin Sandy Land was turned over one by one, and more than a dozen pages of important information had been recorded unknowingly in the record book.
The total area of sandy land, saline-alkali land, and semi-desert grassland granted to Hailufeng Company is 20,000 square kilometers, or about 30 million acres.
The core area is in Jelim City, and a small part is in Zhaowuda City.
The annual average heat here is average, the annual frost-free period is about 140 to 160 days, the annual average precipitation is 300 to 450 mm, and 70 to 80% of the precipitation is concentrated from July to September.
It can be seen that apart from not having enough heat, the Horqin Sandy Land has relatively good conditions, which is why Jiang Miao chose this place.
Of course, if the Horqin Sandy Land is completely greened, it will definitely affect the local microclimate. One of the significant changes is that the climate will become humid, and the temperature difference between day and night will become smaller, and the frost-free period will increase throughout the year. About 5 to 10 days.
Jiang Miao is thinking about how to plan the development of this land.
Planting soybeans is only a short-term arrangement.
And 30 million acres, even if it is developed in five years, is 6 million acres per year. Based on the size of the Monan Branch's sand transformation engineering team, the monthly limit is 100,000 acres, and the maximum number of acres prepared per year is 100,000 acres. 1.2 million acres, there is still a gap of 4.8 million.
Considering that part of the area is degraded grassland, there are no large moving sand dunes, and the land is relatively flat, this part does not require much improvement.
After reading the relevant data, Jiang Miao has estimated that the area of flat land and lightly transformed flat land that can be directly used is about 19 million acres; there are also areas that are easier to transform, about 8 million acres; The remaining 3 million acres are either moving sand dunes, semi-degraded grasslands with relatively large undulations, and gravel beaches with more stones.
Therefore, the engineering team does not need to be expanded too much.
The really tough places are actually areas with large moving sand dunes such as the Ulan Buh Desert, Tengger Desert, and Badain Jaran Desert.
But those areas have little to do with Hailufeng Company.
Now Jiang Miao has to start thinking about how to use these lands.
First of all, in the first year, only fairy beans and soybeans can be planted. This is an inevitable arrangement.
But after the first year of planting, whether to continue planting fairy beans is a question worth thinking about.
After all, the scale of domestic production increase in a short period of time is to increase the production of 50 to 60 million tons of soybeans, which will be distributed to various enterprises, plus some retail households, and one family can plant more than 10 million acres.
Therefore, the remaining more than 10 million acres of land must be developed into other agricultural products.
Jiang Miao is not very interested in food crops such as corn, wheat, and sorghum, because the country will soon adjust regional planting types.
The farmland that was previously planted with soybeans will definitely be freed up to plant other food crops and cash crops, especially in the Northeast and Northwest regions. A large part of the places where there is no way to grow winter wheat will most likely not grow soybeans. .
In principle, Xiandou soybeans will be introduced in the North China Plain. The reason is very simple, that is, winter wheat is grown in the North China Plain, and then a crop of soybeans or corn can be replanted.
Since food crops are not feasible, Jiang Miao has also thought about many cash crops.
First of all, sugar beets can be excluded, because the vacant soybean fields in the Northeast will most likely be planted with sugar beets. This category is a real red ocean.
There is no need to think about cotton, because the northwest will definitely expand cotton production, another Red Sea category.
There is only one peanut left. Peanuts can be mixed with soybeans. You can also plant soybeans for two years and then use root rot fungi to eliminate the soybean roots and root masses and quickly convert them into organic matter in the soil. Nutrients are then used to grow peanuts.
In his record book, he wrote in symbols that only he could understand: 5 million acres of peanuts are to be planted in advance.
The next category, he took a fancy to rubber grass.
The so-called rubber grass is actually several species of Asteraceae and Dandelion plants in the Tianshan Valley in the Western Regions. Laomaozi was the first country to study rubber grass planting and rubber extraction technology. Domestic research has been intermittent. Currently, There are sporadic experimental plantings in the Western Regions.
The current improved varieties of rubber grass can be harvested in about three years. The yield per mu contains about 250 kilograms of rubber root pieces, and 50 kilograms of rubber can be extracted.
Obviously the yield is too low and the growth cycle is a bit longer.
But it doesn't matter. Jiang Miao can improve the variety, compress its growth cycle to about two years, and then mix it with Sendou soybeans.
Since the height of fairy beans is generally 90 to 100 centimeters, while the main leaves of rubber grass are generally less than 10 centimeters, when they bloom, the scape can reach 24 centimeters.
This feature allows the two to not interfere with each other, especially the soybeans used for feeding, which need to be harvested about four times throughout the year. As long as the harvesting height is set at 10 cm above the ground during harvesting Left and right, you can avoid rubber grass.
Therefore, Jiang Miao plans to sow 5 million acres of forage soybeans and rubber grass.
The current plan is to cover 10 million acres of pure soybean fields, 5 million acres of peanut fields, 5 million acres of mixed soybean-rubber grass fields, and 5 million acres of mixed pasture fields.
There are still 5 million acres left. Jiang Miao also fell into deep thought as to what to plant.
He found that when the variable of soybeans and soybeans was added to the domestic agricultural system, there would be basically no obvious scarcity in staple foods such as grain, oil crops, feed, and sugar.
This situation has also made it difficult for Hailufeng Company to find an agricultural product suitable for large-scale planting in Horqin Sandy Land.
As for agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits, it is obvious that they cannot be grown on a scale of 5 million acres. Forced planting will not only destroy the entire market, but will also be thankless and even lose all money.
He now needs to find some suitable crops and must consider all aspects.
While thinking about it, Jiang Miao suddenly saw a box of cherries that Shuya had just brought over. After opening the box, he picked up a cherry produced in Qilu Province, rinsed it with cold boiled water, and then took a bite. The sweet and sour taste filled the air. in the oral cavity.
He then researched various information about cherries.
After reading the relevant information, Jiang Miao felt that cherries can be grown in Horqin Sandy Land, but they need to choose cold-resistant varieties with Lucia and Maple Leaf Country ancestry, and supplementary irrigation is needed, because cherries prefer water and grow The environment requires annual precipitation of 500 to 600 mm.
He has already thought of solutions to some problems of cherry cultivation in Horqin Sandy Land.
Directly improving varieties is the most direct, but it is also a solution with relatively slow results.
Therefore, he chose to use transgenic grafting technology, using European plum, a close relative of cherry, as the transgenic rootstock.
Although European plum carries the word "Europe", in fact, its origin is the river valley area in the western Tianshan Mountains of the Western Regions.
There is another benefit of using European plum as a genetically modified rootstock. Since the fruit of European plum matures around September every year, it can avoid the market time of domestic and South American cherries.
Jiang Miao is confident that by adjusting the nutrient supply of the transgenic rootstock and the production time of special pheromones, the cherries grafted on the transgenic European plum will mature in the northern hemisphere from August to November.
After including cherries in the development category, Jiang Miao referred to the planting scale at home and abroad, and wrote a scale of 2 million acres for cherry planting.
And the remaining 3 million acres.
He decided to follow the cherry model, develop transgenic halophylla pistachios, and plant 2 million acres of pistachios.
Both walnuts and pistachios are small trees of the Anacardiaceae family, and walnuts can adapt to the climate in the Northeast and have good salt-alkali tolerance. Through genetic modification, they can be used to carry pistachios even better. But that's it.
The last 1 million acres will be used for breeding, experiments, breeding, processing plants and other supporting facilities.
When thinking about supporting facilities, Jiang Miao also needs to carefully think about the deep processing layout of agricultural products in the entire Horqin Agricultural Base.
Those tens of millions of acres of soybeans and five million acres of peanuts produce a lot of soybean oil and peanut oil every year.
Peanut oil is okay and can be sold as cheap edible oil, but the quality of soybean oil is too poor. Jiang Miao does not plan to sell edible soybean oil, but plans to use the soybean oil to produce biodiesel.
The biodiesel industry will definitely be an emerging industry with great potential in China in the future.
Jiang Miao sees this point further than anyone else.
Because Hailufeng Company’s Xiandou soybean varieties and new Camellia oleifera varieties will change the domestic feed and edible oil patterns, in this case, the future situation of soybean oil will be blocked at both ends.
On the one hand, the surge in domestic soybean production capacity has led to a surge in soybean oil production capacity. On the other hand, tea seed oil will take away a large part of the soybean oil edible oil market.
Production capacity is soaring, but market demand is declining.
The consequences can be imagined. Soybean oil, which has retreated in the edible oil market, can only turn to industrial oil. However, among the demands for industrial oil, the demand for many uses is limited.
The current industrial uses of soybean oil are mainly concentrated in biodiesel, paints, coatings, lubricants, greases, soaps, detergents, and inks.
Among these uses, only biodiesel is likely to consume 20 to 30 million tons of soybean oil in the future.
The development of the biodiesel industry will also allow Hailufeng Company's logistics system and various agricultural machinery to use its own biodiesel, thereby reducing part of the operating costs.
Of course, the edible oil industry is not impossible. For example, in the export business of soybean edible oil, the majority of third world countries need cheap edible oil.
Even domestically, genetically modified soybean oil imported from abroad can be used to produce biodiesel, and soybean oil squeezed from domestic soybeans is made into edible oil for export.
The soybean meal from genetically modified soybeans can also be used to produce feed for export, or simply exported directly to Southeast Asian and South Asian countries.
After envisioning supporting industries related to soybeans, Jiang Miao then thought about supporting industries for several other crops.
Among them, cherries and pistachios are relatively simple.
Pistachios generally only require simple processing before being wholesaled and retailed, and a pistachio processing plant is sufficient.
Cherry is equipped with cold storage and packaging factories.

Peanuts require a peanut oil processing plant, and the peanut cakes after oil extraction can be used as feed, fertilizer, peanut butter, or to refine peanut protein.
Rubber grass requires a rubber processing plant. The remaining cake residue and leaves can be used to refine inulin. The remaining cellulose and hemicellulose can also be used as consumables for microbial fuel cells.
And cherries, pistachios, peanuts, soybeans, rubber grass, alfalfa, etc. are all nectar plants and can provide a huge nectar source for the bee breeding industry.
Such a huge industrial layout will be completed in the next five years.
Jiang Miao made a phone call and called Lu Weibin, Jiang Haibo and others, who had just returned, to the office.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Haibo was the first to knock on the door and come in.
After another ten minutes, Lu Weibin also arrived.
Jiang Miao had already discussed part of the conversation with Jiang Haibo just now.
"Old Lu, sit down!"
Jiang Miao poured him a cup of tea: "I called you here this time mainly to strengthen the management of Monan Branch."
"Strengthen management? Is there something wrong there?" Lu Weibin was frightened. For a moment, I thought that as soon as he stepped forward, something went wrong in the Monan branch.
Jiang Haibo opened his mouth to explain: "Weibin, you misunderstood. The boss didn't mean it this way. There is no big problem in the Monan branch."
"Huh?" Lu Weibin secretly relaxed. tone, and then asked curiously: "Boss, what's the reason for that?"
"The above granted us 30 million acres of sandy land, right in Horqin Sandy Land."
"So much?" Lu Weibin's hand that had just picked up the teacup began to tremble subconsciously. He quickly put the teacup back on the table. He swallowed his throat and asked, "Boss, why did the superiors grant us so much land?"
Jiang Miao casually mentioned: "Of course it is the hidden benefits of Xiandou Soybean."
"Xiandou Soybean? Have the higher-ups paid attention to it? So quickly?" Lu Weibin felt a little relieved.
Jiang Haibo had just heard part of what Jiang Miao said, and he answered part of Lu Weibin's doubts: "An academician who studies soybeans, after inspecting Taminchagan Farm, went to Beijing to report the matter. But this matter involves confidentiality, how about we It’s okay if you know it personally, it’s best not to mention it to your family.”
“Secret?” Although Lu Weibin’s ability is relatively mediocre, it does not mean that he is a frog in the well. He has been working in a major Internet company for several years, and he likes to browse various websites. This kind of international current affairs will soon come to mind.
Jiang Miao had no intention of telling the two of them the details: "I won't go into details. Let's discuss the Monan branch first."
Lu Weibin quickly took out the small book he carried with him and the ballpoint pen.
“To develop 30 million acres of land requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. The management of Monan Branch alone is obviously not enough.”
Jiang Haibo nodded: “No. Wrong.”
“How many more people are needed?” Lu Weibin looked at Jiang Miao.
"We need to expand our manpower at least a hundred times."
"A hundred times?" Lu Weibin frowned: "This is a bit difficult!"
"No rush, our plan is Completing all development projects within five years means that manpower will gradually be in place within five years.”
Lv Weibin was relieved when he heard that it would be completed within five years.
Jiang Miao fully explained the development plan: "We want to develop 10 million acres of soybean fields, 5 million acres of soybean and rubber grass mixed pasture fields, 5 million acres of peanut fields, 5 million acres of mixed pasture fields, and 2 million acres of mixed pasture fields. Cherry orchards, 2 million acres of pistachio orchards, and the remaining 1 million acres are used for other supporting projects.”
While taking notes, Lu Weibin raised his own question: "Boss, I can understand pasture, peanuts, and soybeans, but can rubber grass, pistachios, and cherries be grown in the climate of Horqin Sandy Land?"
Jiang Miao then He explained why he chose these agricultural products and the related technical solutions.
After listening, Lu Weibin suddenly realized that he had no doubts about Jiang Miao's technology research and development capabilities.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Miao talked about the related supporting facilities that the Monan Branch needs to prepare.
Lu Weibin recorded these things one by one and asked about some doubtful points from time to time.
After saying these things, Jiang Miao brought up the original question: "So with the expansion of the Monan Branch, there is not only a lack of middle-level managers and grassroots employees there, but also the need to send a headquarters executive to go there. Stay over there.”
Lu Weibin reacted instantly, obviously he was the more suitable executive.
“Of course, considering management issues, not only you have to go there, but Haibo and I will also go there regularly. Each of us takes turns staying at the Monan Branch for 3 months.”
< br>When he heard that the stay was only for three months, Lu Weibin thought it was not a big problem.
Jiang Haibo proposed: "Boss, the company's talent reserve plan will continue to increase in scale. I propose to complete and implement the system of rotating senior executives on duty within one or two years as soon as possible."
Jiang Miao nodded: "Well, you arrange the Human Resources Department to expand the recruitment scale. While I have nothing urgent to do in the past few months, I have time to conduct interviews and recruit more talents, especially middle and senior management, to facilitate the subsequent expansion. ”
But , Jiang Miao added another point: "Of course, if our internal employees find suitable management talents, they must also vigorously promote them."
"I understand." Jiang Haibo wrote down this matter, and then he remembered a Thing: "Boss, August 10 No., Magic City will hold a food security summit forum. The organizer sent us an invitation letter yesterday, hoping that our company can attend. "
He Jintang told him part of the inside story. Jiang Miao naturally knew about this so-called food security. peak theory He ordered:
"Haibo, you can go there on behalf of the company. Just one request: listen more, read more, and don't express any opinions, especially about the content of Xiandou Soybean. Not a word of it." Don’t mention it.”
Hearing Jiang Miao's arrangement, Jiang Haibo was also thoughtful, but he did not show it: "Okay, I will definitely implement it according to the boss's wishes."
"There is also a feed industry conference held in Yangcheng , our company is also among the invitations, but the holding time is a bit tight. The episode is on August 15th. "
"You will lead the team there as well. You only need to talk about some of our plans for Egyptian pond lice fish meal, and others involving alfalfa and soybeans. Don’t participate in the discussion.”
The reason why the two activities are so intensively arranged.
The purpose is self-evident.
That is so that ABCD and related domestic private enterprises have no time to think, forcing their executives to rush back and forth between Shanghai and Yangcheng in a short period of time.
After He Jintang left today, he also took the time to check the situation of international soybean futures and corn futures.
He found that since yesterday, short orders were slowly increasing in the futures market of soybeans and other bulk agricultural products, and he knew that short sellers were accumulating funds.
