Chapter 59 Chili’s Dilemma
The teacher’s words made Guo Yang wake up.
He knew that it started from the country's promotion of the development of the western region.
In the next 20 years, the western region will successively implement natural forest protection projects, return farmland to forest, return grazing land to grassland, control the sources of sandstorms in Beijing and Tianjin, build the Three-North Shelterbelt System, and protect the ecological environment of the Sanjiangyuan River. Wait for a series of projects.
Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang, Long, Ning, Gui, Yun, Gui, Sichuan and other provinces involve a large amount of grassland ecological restoration.
Even forestry, alfalfa agriculture and animal husbandry can definitely try to get a share of the pie.
After chatting with the teacher for a while, Guo Yang also figured out what Weng Lixin meant by 'there are some thin noodles in the industry'.
In addition to more than 20 million acres of salted wasteland, Long Province also has more than 200 million acres of natural grassland.
But currently 90% of the land is degraded to varying degrees, and the land is increasing at a rate of more than 1.5 million acres every year.
Compared with 40 years ago, the height of the grass layer has dropped by 50%, and the vegetation coverage and livestock carrying capacity of the grassland have also been almost halved.
The reduction of natural grassland area has greatly reduced the ability to conserve water sources of the Yellow River and Yangtze River, with streams drying up and lakes drying up.
Even the Hexi region, the green barrier that locks Huanglong in the north and oasis in the south, is under serious threat.
From 1999 to 2001, Long Province also completed the task of returning large areas of farmland to forest and grassland, but it was not enough.
In the next few years, returning farmland to forest and grassland industry will still be an important task of the Long Provincial Government.
Specific tasks will also be delegated to various counties and cities, and subsidies for returning farmland to forests and grasslands will also be allocated to local governments.
Weng Lixin's intention was to let Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry take over engineering projects from these local governments, and he could also help.
In addition, Weng Lixin also revealed that Qinghai Province will fully launch the "Three River Sources" ecological comprehensive management project next year, and launch the natural grassland restoration project in Yushu and Goluo prefectures.
He can introduce Alfalfa Farming and Animal Husbandry there.
Guo Yang understood the meaning of Weng Lixin's words. No one dislikes money. He is like this, and teachers are not immune to it.
Maybe the teacher didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, but he couldn't think so.
After thinking for a long time, Guo Yang finally agreed.
Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has the capital and strength, and the ability to do things well.
At least I know from the teacher that in order to complete tasks as quickly as possible, many places have to deal with inspections and acceptances and get more subsidies for returning farmland to forests and grasslands.
Many bad ways and methods were adopted.
For example, the original forest and grassland should be included in the scope of returning farmland to forest and grassland, or the return of farmland to forest and grassland should be carried out on better cultivated land.
Ecological projects have lost their original significance and increased the national financial burden and losses.
In contrast, after entering the market, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry will at least be oriented towards ecological restoration rather than money.
Because Guo Yang did this to accumulate natural energy.
Guo Yang found the person in charge of human resources at Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and asked him to contact headhunters to increase the demand for personnel recruitment.
At the same time, the organizational structure of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry was also adjusted, and an engineering department was added, which is mainly responsible for external ecological restoration projects.
The current management of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is temporarily coordinated by Guo Yang, and he was not satisfied with several general manager candidates interviewed.
Although the people recommended by the headhunter were highly educated, professionally matched, rich in theoretical knowledge, and had outstanding work experience, he felt that they were not suitable.
In his plan, alfalfa farming and animal husbandry are an important starting point for him to obtain natural energy in the future. What he needs is a 'reckless man' who dares to work hard and move forward one project after another.
Instead of slow-cooking management.
As for the source of funds, there are currently sufficient funds in the account, and the government has also relaxed loan channels for alfalfa. In the future, alfalfa No. 1 seeds and alfalfa grass products will also produce benefits.
Moreover, it is difficult for external ecological restoration projects to suffer losses unless they encounter difficult local governments.
......Lan City, Vegetable and Pepper Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Guo Yang looked at the little man who walked in and pretended not to recognize him.
The little man is none other than Bi Qiang, his roommate who was very kind to Guo Yang.
But after the baptism of summer, Bi Qiang's whole body is now dark and small.
Seeing Guo Yang in a suit and leather shoes with an expressionless face, Bi Qiang was also a little confused, thinking that he had gone to the wrong place.
He turned back hesitantly and took two steps, but after thinking about it, something felt wrong.
Guo Yang couldn't help laughing, "Pfft, haha..."
Hearing the laughter, Bi Qiang reacted and regained his confident look.
"What a good boy, you look like a dog in your clothes. You almost hit me. It seems that the school rumors are true. You really got rich overnight."
Guo Yang laughed and said: "Hahaha , Didn’t I see you were tanned? I almost didn’t recognize you.”
Bi Qiang counterattacked mercilessly: “You say I’m tan, so tell me what you’re looking for.” What's the matter?"
Hearing this, Guo Yang also returned to the topic, "I want to see if you have any good bell pepper seeds and consider cooperation."
Bi Qiang said: " There are varieties of sweet peppers, but because our main breeding direction is screw peppers, the germplasm resources of sweet pepper varieties are relatively small.”
"Screw pepper?"
"Didn't I bring you some fried pork with chili pepper during my internship? That's it. By the way, why did you want the bell pepper seeds?"
"Enrich the inventory and do some sweet pepper seed production business."
Bi Qiang looked surprised, glanced at Guo Yang and said: "The profits from sweet pepper seed production are indeed good, and there are several excellent domestic ones. Variety, there are also many foreign brands represented by seed companies."
Guo Yang also nodded, "What about you, the variety of pepper fried pork you brought me last time is good, how is the promotion going?"
Hearing this, Bi Qiang smiled bitterly.
“That’s the variety we cultivated from the ‘Pig Large Intestine’ screw pepper, a local variety in the northwest.”
“The ‘Pig Large Intestine’ screw pepper has a thin outer peel and is rich in cellulose. It has low content and good taste, but its shortcomings are also obvious, such as low yield, poor resistance and poor adaptability. It can only be planted in small quantities in dry and cool northwest areas."
"After our long-term breeding. , Longjiao No. 2 was developed, and its yield and resistance have been significantly improved, but the yield is still not as good as other low-quality but high-yielding varieties, and the recognition by growers and dealers is not high. ”
Hearing this, Guo Yang was also confused. He originally thought that the poor appearance made it difficult to promote.
"Doesn't high quality lead to higher market acceptance?"
Bi Qiang explained patiently:
"Because the domestic pepper market is currently in short supply, pepper sales cannot yet achieve high quality and high prices. Sweet Peppers are different, whether they are of high quality or not, they are quite expensive.”
“And the homogenization of pepper varieties is serious now. Once a good iconic variety is developed, it will soon be on the market. There will be a large number of similar varieties.”
“Some people even obtain the parent lines through improper means and directly change the names to promote and sell them as their own varieties, which is the result of the efforts and interests of the original breeders. occupied. ”
"There are even more rampant thieves who dare to pry open the seed warehouse of the Vegetable Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in order to make huge profits."
Guo Yang felt that Bi Qiang seemed to be complaining and seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with the industry. He gradually had some thoughts in his mind, but still listened silently.
“So, the vegetable seed industry is not very attractive to capital. They are all small private enterprises. The serious homogeneity of varieties makes it difficult for pepper seed companies to expand.”
"The entire industry is unable to settle down and only makes short-term and fast varieties that can generate profits quickly, and is unwilling to make iconic varieties that are revolutionary and epoch-making and can promote the development of the industry."
"It seems hot. It is bustling, but it has not solved the key technical bottlenecks that restrict industrial development..."
