Chapter 15 Conversation
“Hello, Director Zhang.”
After shaking hands with the middle-aged man in front of him, Guo Yang realized that this move was a bit abrupt.
After all, he is a department-level cadre of the Ministry of Agriculture, and his administrative level is at least the deputy department level, which is generally called the department or bureau level.
But being able to shake hands with a stranger like him in such a strange occasion also showed from the side that the leader of the Ministry of Agriculture in front of him is an easy-going person.
At least that's how it looks on the surface.
Looking at the smiling Director Zhang, Guo Yang said with a smile: "Director Zhang, when I was test driving the Coloni silage machine just now, I listened to your conversation and was quite touched. "
"Oh? What did you feel?" Director Zhang looked interested, but Guo Yang felt a sense of oppression from his sharp eyes.
If he doesn’t answer this question well, he will most likely miss this opportunity to build a relationship with the Ministry of Agriculture.
Guo Yang considered it carefully, recalling every detail of this magnificent era.
Finally, he decided to open the show with two of his favorite quotes ever.
“The dust of the times is like a big mountain when it falls on everyone’s head, but a drop of water from the times is like a vast ocean for an individual enterprise.”
Hearing from Guo Director Zhang looked surprised at Yang's answer, and everyone accompanying him also looked thoughtful.
Guo Yang continued.
“After joining the WTO, the tariff rate for most agricultural machinery products has been adjusted to less than 10%. Imported high-performance, high-tech agricultural machinery products are bound to put great pressure on domestic agricultural machinery companies. ”
"Under this kind of competitive pressure, domestic companies with average technology research and development capabilities and agricultural machinery products that cannot keep up with the market situation are bound to go bankrupt. However, the reduction in tariffs has also lowered the threshold for agricultural machinery imports."
"In this case, with the support of policies and funds, domestic leading agricultural machinery companies can also take the opportunity to study the international agricultural machinery market, select advanced agricultural machinery, and update existing agricultural machinery with poor technical status and low scientific and technological content. , making domestic power machinery and supporting equipment more reasonable. "
"For domestic agricultural machinery enterprises, opportunities and risks are twin brothers. There are opportunities in crises and dangers in opportunities."
“There are no successful companies, only companies of the times. Great times can breed great companies. Most of the big companies in the world have seized one or several big eras and industry cycles. The great John Deere This is the case for multinational companies such as Ernst & Young and Case New Holland.
“And I believe that with the opening of the domestic market, in this new era, domestic agricultural machinery companies will also emerge as leaders in the global agricultural machinery industry. Who! ”
Guo Yang spoke impassionedly, and all the things about farm machinery that came to his mind came out at once.
He knew that the people in front of him who came to the Hannover International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition must be the best in the domestic agricultural machinery industry. Even if he has insights from later generations, he is not a professional after all, and he will definitely not be as professional as these people.
But opportunities come from hard work. Guo Yang has always been a pioneer, otherwise he would not have contracted land for planting as soon as he graduated in his previous life.
So, he acted very confident in front of everyone. He must also be confident, because he has other things to do next and wants to attract more people's attention through this group of people.
After hearing Guo Yang express his feelings, Zhang Jianjun also agreed with him.
He is the deputy director of the Department of Agricultural Mechanization. No one on site knows the situation of domestic agricultural machinery better than him, and he can even keep a lot of data at hand.
For example, in 2001, the total power of agricultural machinery nationwide reached 548 million kilowatts.
For example, the average import tax rate for agricultural machinery products is only 6.5%, a drop of up to 40%
Domestic agricultural machinery is also exported, mainly low-end walking tractors to Southeast Asia and Africa. , internal combustion engines, etc., with an export value of more than 400 million US dollars.
Zhang Jianjun asked with interest: "You don't look too old. Are you an international student in Germany?"
Guo Yang smiled and shook his head, "I came to Germany specifically to participate in the agricultural machinery exhibition, and I plan to buy a few machines back."
"Oh? Buying machinery? Are you a dealer from China?"< br>
Among the people accompanying Zhang Jianjun, two or three people showed surprised expressions.
But Guo Yang continued to shake his head and began to tell everyone part of his plan: "I bought the machinery for my own use. I plan to contract and improve a batch of saline-alkali lands in Long Province to grow pasture. This trip is also here. Let’s see if there is any suitable machinery here. “Long Province? Contracting saline-alkali land to grow pasture?
What a strange idea this was. Many people in the crowd looked at Guo Yang in confusion.
This is obviously a loss-making business!
"Growing pasture on saline-alkali land? Is there a reliable plan to improve saline-alkali land? How many acres do you plan to plant?" Zhang Jianjun also looked at Guo Yang in confusion.
He did know that China has paid more attention to saline-alkali land resources in recent years. There are also many scientific researchers in the northwest, north China, western northeast and coastal areas who have been engaged in related research for a long time.
But these are still at the scientific research level, and promotion is still very difficult.
Guo Yang thought about it in his mind. In addition to planting forage, it also involves breeding and seed production.
But the funds in hand have almost exceeded the RMB 1.5 billion mark in the past two days. Excluding some used for investment, there is still at least nearly RMB 1 billion in liquidity.
“We have developed an alfalfa variety that is extremely tolerant to salt-alkali soil. It has strong adaptability and modification ability to saline-alkali soil. The current plan is to improve 200,000 acres.”
< br>Everyone's attention was drawn and they looked at Guo Yang in disbelief.
“How much? 200,000 acres?”
Guo Yang nodded firmly.
Zhang Jianjun suddenly wondered if this guy was taking advantage of them, or was he simply a liar trying to defraud the state of subsidies?
The starting point is to contract 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land. Do you know how much investment it will cost?
"Young man, it is a good thing to be ambitious, but you still have to be down-to-earth and start from scratch."
"Director Zhang, I know you may not believe what I say, and you may even think Do I have any agenda, but what I just said is indeed true.”
"I don't expect financial subsidies from the state when doing this. I only hope that the state will provide certain support in land policy."
"Tell me in detail, what kind of policy support is needed?" Zhang Jianjun asked.
Guo Yang thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts.
"I hope that when signing the investment agreement and the saline-alkali land transfer contract, the Ministry of Agriculture can serve as a witness..."
Before Guo Yang finished speaking, Zhang Jianjun interrupted him.
"Although I am from the Department of Agricultural Mechanization, I can tell you clearly that it is impossible for the Ministry of Agriculture to come forward. The land transfer contract can only be signed with the local government."
"But if you can really come up with it, I would like to invest such a large amount of money to transform 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land. I will tell my colleagues in charge of related business about it.” The economic value is immeasurable. You know, there are nearly 100 million hectares of saline-alkali land in the country."
At this point, Zhang Jianjun paused, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, he asked: "Which school are you a graduate of?"
"A graduate student in Long Provincial Agricultural University's Forage Breeding, the tutor is Professor Weng Lixin."
Zhang Jianjun nodded, acknowledging his identity.
“I know Professor Weng. It just so happens that this year’s National Science and Technology Research Plan has approved the project of ‘Key Technologies and Machinery for Forage Seed Harvesting and Postharvest Processing’. If your project can really be implemented, maybe it can be implemented by then. You set up a test base there.”
“But we don’t have much money. The seven or eight projects of the ‘10th Five-Year Plan’ National Science and Technology Research Plan’s agricultural mechanization project only invested a total of more than 20 million yuan. It’s totally incomparable.”
“This is the only support I can give you at the moment, provided you really have the funds to do it.”
