Chapter 75 Hutubi
Guo Yang found out the recent financial statements of Haohe and Tianhe. After looking at them for a while, he felt a little unbelievable.
I have been spending so hard for the past six months, why do I have so much left?
After returning to the capital from Hannover, Guo Yang transferred a total of 1.1 billion in funds from abroad.
After paying back taxes, there are about 1.02 billion.
This money was initially divided into two parts by Guo Yang, of which 500 million was injected into Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, which was used for the improvement of 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land and the construction of pasture factories.
Due to the rush for construction, the cost of improving the saline-alkali land exceeded the expected 180 million by 20 million, and a total of 200 million was spent.
The pasture’s recent planting fees, design fees, factory construction fees, alfalfa No. 1 seed fields, office and accommodation buildings, cattle breeding farms, etc. cost about 30 million.
If we introduce forage processing equipment in the future, it may cost several million more.
In total, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry spent about 230 million in the past six months, and there is still 270 million left in the account.
Guo Yang of Tianhe Seed Industry has injected 300 million in funds and has launched more investment projects, but the balance in his account is also extremely sufficient.
3000 acres of original seed propagation base and seed processing plant, 30 million, has not been used up yet.
The 5,000-acre seed production base in Hekou Village and the pepper seedling base in Lan City cost 10 million, which has not yet been used up.
The 30,000 acres of spicy and sweet pepper demonstration bases in Lanshi, Jinchuan and Gangu need to bear the advance expenses of agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and agricultural film in the early stage, but the amount shall not exceed 100 yuan per mu. In addition, they need to pay the government and Farmers pay a purchase deposit, which adds up to about 20 million.
Guo Yang looked at the balance of 250 million in Tianhe's financial statements. Even if he reserved the seed money for seed production and the cost of purchasing fresh peppers, there was still a cash flow of 200 million.
I couldn’t help but sigh, spending money is really hard work!
In half a year, including the cost of purchasing agricultural machinery, Guo Yang spent a total of about 500 million.
As for Jingcheng Weiguang Investment, it has also been making steady profits in the past six months. Not only has it earned back the money it paid for the office building, but it has even made extra profits.
So after calculation, Guo Yang’s pure cash is about 520 million + 60 million + about 400 million in foreign accounts, totaling about 980 million.
Guo Yang finally understood Wang Duoyu's troubles.
It's a pity to have this money sitting in the bank earning interest.
However, if I think about it carefully, I haven’t really stopped much in the past six months. I have been busy.
It’s just that everything starts from scratch, and agriculture is also a long-term investment process. Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Tianhe Seed Industry are currently pure investments with zero revenue.
Many of the projects invested in will not be able to make big profits within one or two years. The most recent revenue that can be foreseen is the sales of spicy and sweet pepper seedlings in March.
So, having sufficient cash flow is also a good thing in some ways.
It's just that there is really too much money.
We have to think of ways to expand some projects.
After much deliberation, Guo Yang temporarily established several directions.
First, continue to contract and improve saline-alkali lands, deserts, etc., accelerate the accumulation of natural energy, improve saline-alkali lands, deserts, etc. into prairie, and simultaneously establish large-scale pastures.
Second, the agricultural machinery factory must speed up its progress. It cannot wait for Yu Honghai any longer, or it will have to start from scratch.
The third step is seed development, which is also the most difficult, because seed production inevitably involves dealing with farmers.
With an idea in mind, Guo Yang returned to the room to rest.
Early the next morning.
Guo Yang went to the cowshed again and looked around.
The cattle were as alert as ever.
Only the Qinchuan cattle and Simmental cattle that Guo Yang had fed yesterday were barking at him excitedly.
Bull Eye looked at him expectantly.
Unfortunately, Guo Yang did not bring fodder and was not prepared to continue feeding.
But from the affectionate performance of the two cows, it can also be seen that the palatability of Alfalfa No. 1 is indeed acceptable.
That's enough.
Gently stroking the cow's head, Guo Yang named the two cows respectively while Ding Ji looked puzzled.
Qinchuan cows are beautiful, while Simmental cows are strong. Xiuxiu is also Guo Yang's designated wife for Zhuang Zhuang.
When the cattle come into estrus in the spring, Dingji has to assist the two in mating.
Ding Ji was already a little numb when he heard Guo Yang's instructions.
The boss is here to play house with the children!
After explaining the matter, Guo Yang was ready to leave, and Xiuxiu and Zhuangzhuang also showed reluctance when they saw this scene.
After returning to the accommodation area, Guo Yang once again told Zhang Wei and Cai Bin to go to Lu Province to participate in training and study, and then left the ranch.
……
The Hutubi Cattle Breeding Farm is located at the southern edge of the Junggar Basin at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, 72 kilometers west of Urumqi.
It is a state-owned farm and ranch under the Xinjiang Provincial Animal Husbandry Department.
Established in 1955, after decades of development, the site currently has a total area of 300,000 acres, 40,000 acres of cultivated land, and 30,000 acres of natural grassland.
It is the largest dairy farm in Xinjiang Province.
After being introduced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Guo Yang came here for a visit and inspection. It was time to expand Alfalfa's dairy herd.
The chairman of Hutubi Cattle Breeding Farm is named Chen Ting. He is a middle-aged man in his sixties. He is slightly stout and wearing a thick coat. He is taking Guo Yang around. visit.
Cattle farms, forage planting bases, dairy processing workshops, mixed feed processing plants, organic fertilizer plants, cattle embryo production bases...
Looking along, Guo Yang felt that this trip was not necessary, and asked: "Chen Secretary, how many breeding cows can your farm provide to surrounding areas every year?”
Secretary Chen said with a smile: “Excluding the ones we keep for replacement, we provide about 2,000 breeding cows every year.”
Guo Yang frowned, "That's not a lot. The Ministry of Agriculture told me that your farm is the largest breeding cattle farm in the northwest."
"Why, we have 2,000 breeding cows. , Mr. Guo wants to get everything covered.”
"There is such a plan, but the quantity may not be enough. Alfalfa now has nearly 200,000 acres of pasture."
Secretary Chen smiled cheerfully, "Young people should not aim too high. 2,000 dairy cows are not a breeding stock." Without it, you’d be hard-pressed to find another one in the entire northwest.”
Guo Yang was noncommittal, thinking that this was somewhat bragging, as Mongolia is also a major livestock province.
Seeing his appearance, Secretary Chen thought for a while and then took the lead to the outdoor grassland.
The biting cold wind blew on my face, causing pain.
"Mr. Guo, do you know how difficult it is to breed dairy cows? Hutubi has gone through many hardships to get to this point."
Guo Yang thought about the various perfect facilities he had seen in the past two days. Said: "I am also very curious about Hutubi."
Secretary Chen looked at the vast alfalfa grassland in front of him, and then pointed at the cattle farm behind him, and then suddenly thought:
"Back then, the cattle farm was located on an endless reed beach, damp and cold, with wild wolves infested. A group of entrepreneurs brought their families from the mainland to support the frontier, and the two families shared a den."
"Living on the limited rations rationed by the state, I work 16 hours a day, digging canals to drain alkali and clearing wasteland for farming."
"Dairy cows are mainly grazing, and their feed is obtained locally. Their nutritional status is poor. The cows live in a simple reed shed."
"It goes without saying that the conditions were difficult. People of that era were naturally able to Overcome these difficulties.”
“But the lack of technology cannot be solved in the short term. More than 95% of the cadres and workers at that time were exposed to dairy cows for the first time.”
“From 1955, Beijing has introduced 200 Friesian dairy cows, with an annual milk production of only 214 kilograms. "
"As of this year, the breeding farm has more than 2,000 dairy cows and more than 1,000 beef cattle, and supplies them to nearby counties and cities every year. Farmers and herdsmen provide nearly 3,000 breeding animals.”
"The milk production of the Holstein dairy herd has increased to 8,700 kilograms, an increase of dozens of times."
Guo Yang also felt inexplicably moved when he saw Chen Shu remembering the past.
Alfalfa finally decided that 80% of Hutubi’s dairy cattle breeding stock will be used this year, and the other 20% will be reserved for farmers and herdsmen.
The gap was huge, and Guo Yang couldn't help but think of the preferential tax and financial policies for imported breeding cattle mentioned by the Ministry of Agriculture.
After much hesitation, I decided not to give money to the foreign devils.
He has elite dairy genetics.
What is lacking is not good cattle, but quantity.
