Chapter 150 The TV Station Visits
The sudden promotion brought a smile to Yu Xiaochuan’s face.
He entered Alfalfa in 2002. In the past three years, from the humble beginning when facing foreign businessmen, to now foreign businessmen are eager to get orders from him.
Especially in Japan and South Korea, the domestic alfalfa products exported in the past few years did not meet the standards, causing them to completely turn to the Americas and Australia.
Can regain a little bit of the market.
Only he knows the bitterness he has experienced.
He also graduated from an agricultural school. Most of his classmates at that time chose to join the system.
He is the only one who covets the high wages of companies. Unexpectedly, several companies he has experienced either go bankrupt or the bosses run away.
The salary is rising higher and higher,
but he once felt confused.
Where is China’s agriculture heading?
By chance, he was headhunted into Alfalfa Farming and Animal Husbandry.
Who would have thought that it would only be three years.
The former saline-alkali Gobi desert has now transformed into a sea of ten thousand acres of grass.
From planting to sales, from manager to vice president, from zero to one, from domestic to foreign countries, Yu Xiaochuan's mentality is changing.
For Guo Yang, the position of vice president of sales of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has always been vacant.
The work achievements made by Yu Xiaochuan are worthy of this position.
Guo Yang said: "Alfalfa should also pay attention to exploring the domestic alfalfa market in the future."
Yu Xiaochuan was puzzled and said doubtfully: "Now there is a strong demand in the international market, and alfalfa importing countries continue to The demand from importing countries is also increasing. The constraints of land resources determine that only a few countries can provide alfalfa exports.
And with the strong demand for biomass energy, these countries can export less and less alfalfa.
Now, we have finally regained a little of the lost East Asian market. It is time to pursue the victory and expand the results! "
Guo Yang was more and more surprised by Yu Xiaochuan. Being able to say these words shows that he has really worked hard to study the international market.
"The international market will still be Jiahe alfalfa. An important market for industrial development. "
"But agriculture is related to the national economy and people's livelihood issues. The domestic breeding industry is developing rapidly, and the demand for forage is also expanding rapidly.
Making big money has never been the primary purpose of agriculture. If Jiahe wants to go further, it must always have this awareness. "
Yu Xiaochuan understood, "Don't the Ministry of Agriculture also use Alfalfa No. 1 to improve the land every year? There must be a lot of forage produced. "
"You all know that it is improved land, how much yield can it produce? Moreover, the improvement is mainly focused on growing food. "
Yu Xiaochuan still couldn't let it go.
Guo Yang smiled, "Stop worrying, think about how to do well in the domestic market. ”
"Actually, I already have an idea."
"Let's talk about it."
Yu Xiaochuan said: "I found that domestic alfalfa importers neither look down on domestic alfalfa hay, but import Sometimes I like to buy the lowest quality third-grade hay. ”
“Also, only high-yielding cows are fed alfalfa, and other cows can only eat roughage. Farmers lack basic knowledge of alfalfa. ”
“So, I think the most important thing to develop the domestic market is to cultivate customers and help them analyze the relationship between alfalfa grade and pasture income.”
"It's best to speak from personal experience. For example, the annual milk production of the cows of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is much higher than the domestic average."
"Okay, then do it!"
Although it was slow to cultivate customers' awareness, Guo Yang knew that Yu Xiaochuan was on to the point.
After pondering for a while,
“I’ll give you another task, to secretly investigate the situation of inferior milk powder in China.”
Yu Xiaochuan was stunned, inferior milk powder?
“After Hui Province last year, there were two more big-headed doll accidents in Hunan Province this year.”
Guo Yang naturally knew,
“Not enough, far away Not enough.”
“Do you think these cases have attracted the attention of the relevant quality inspection and industrial and commercial departments?”
Yu Xiaochuan was silent.
Domestic food safety incidents are emerging one after another, including clenbuterol, dyed steamed buns, Sudan red, and recently, the reappearance of big-headed dolls.
Problems occur frequently, giving the impression that if one problem is always checked but not to the end, there is always the possibility of 'scum rising'.
Fortunately, his children are fed milk powder produced by Alfalfa, which is considered an employee benefit.
Ended the call with Yu Xiaochuan.
Guo Yang's mood fluctuated greatly.
The joy of the surge in revenue was quickly diluted.
Melamine!
Like a hanging sword,
it is a disaster for the entire dairy industry.
……
On the grassland.
Deng Cheng waited eagerly for the reporters.
A little disappointed, the visitor is a provincial and Taiwanese reporter.
This province is not qualified enough
What’s the meaning of those reports that I keep turning over and over again?
Deng Cheng disliked it.
Unexpectedly, the provincial and Taiwanese reporters gave him a surprise.
"I'm here to stand up. Tomorrow the press conference from China Science News and Lu Taiwan will come for interviews."
Deng Cheng suddenly became energetic,
Xiang Tianshan on the side was also surprised for a moment.
Chinese Science Journal is a newspaper managed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and co-organized by multiple units.
The level is very high.
As for Lutai, who in China doesn’t understand!
“The focus of tomorrow’s interview is Alfalfa No. 1. I think it would be more appropriate for Chairman Guo to participate in the interview.”
Xiang Tianshan frowned, "It just so happened that the boss arrived at Jiuquan today."
Liu Liduo explained, "The main reason is that Director Guo is the intellectual property owner of Haohe No. 1."
< br>Express understanding to Tianshan.
He is not very interested in these interviews. If he has the time, it would be more interesting to play two more chess games.
After a while, Guo Yang knew about it.
He was not surprised by Lu Tai's visit. He had expected such a day since the Ministry of Agriculture participated in the promotion of Alfalfa No. 1.
However, Hua Xia Science Daily cannot figure out its purpose for the time being.
The next day.
Guo Yang arrived at the grassland early and took a walk alone while it was still early.
The green grass and the fragrance of earth and grass are floating in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
After a while, the morning sun slowly rose from the horizon, casting a golden layer over the vast grassland.
Beautiful.
Along the way, Guo Yang met busy employees who got up early and villagers who took a morning walk.
In the designated cattle pen, Guo Yang also saw cows eating grass.
The coat of cows is short, fine and shiny, and the breasts of adult cows are large and plump. At first glance, they are milk-producing cows.
The herds of cattle, large and small, were scattered in the cattle pens, and they could not be counted at the moment.
“Boss, boss!”
An excited voice came. When Guo Yang heard the words, he looked and saw a young man with a familiar face.
Guo Yang recognized the person who came, Ding Ji, the director of the Alfalfa cattle breeding farm, responsible for the breeding of new cows.
New breed cows refer to cows that have been inseminated with germplasm genes from high-quality cows in seed stores. A total of 100 cows were inseminated with that germplasm gene.
Guo Yang nodded, "How many cows are there now?"
"403, including about two hundred calves."
In two and a half years, the number increased from 100 to 400. This is considered a relatively fast speed.
Cows are single-birth animals. Under natural conditions, they only give birth to one calf per litter, unless ultra-rapid ovulation and embryo transfer techniques are used.
But that would be more harmful. First of all, the cow is likely to be ruined. Secondly, the twin cows are basically 100% weak cows.
Therefore, Alfalfa's breeding cattle farm has not introduced ultra-rapid ovulation and embryo transfer technology.
After chatting with Ding Ji for a while, Guo Yang felt that the reporter from Taiwan Lu was almost there, so he returned to the office area.
After waiting for a while, a white business car arrived. Six people got out of the car.
There are men and women.
Among them was a figure he was familiar with, Xu Xiaoxue.
Guo Yang was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoxue is no longer as heroic and free as before. Instead, she looks like a lady, obediently accompanying a middle-aged woman with a plain face.
Xu Xiaoxue made a naughty expression while touching her hand.
Guo Yang’s eyelids twitched.
"Hello, I am Lai Minjun, a reporter from China Science News." Lai Minjun has short hair and a simple face.
She seemed to notice Xu Xiaoxue's little movements and glanced at her.
"Lu Tai, Ji Gang."
"Hello, I am Guo Yang."
Say hello one by one.
Lai Minjun said in a bad tone: "Mr. Guo, I would like to ask, is Alfalfa No. 1 a genetically modified crop?"
Yu Xiaochuan, who was accompanying him, frowned!
As soon as I arrived, I asked about genetic modification, and I felt like I wanted to stir up trouble.
Having been engaged in international trade for a long time, Yu Xiaochuan is very sensitive to genetic modification. This is also the most common trade barrier, and both Japan and South Korea have restrictions on it.
China also has strict management regulations on genetically modified crops.
Guo Yang also restrained his smile,
"Jiahe Group has indeed achieved results in the field of genetically modified organisms, but I can responsibly say that Alfalfa No. 1 is not a genetically modified crop."
"Genetically modified crops It requires special approval, but Jiahe doesn't have the courage."
"Oh, how did the 'salt-eating' property of Alfalfa No. 1 come from?" Lai Minjun's tone was full of doubt.
"It's very complicated. I think you might not understand it." Guo Yang was not polite at all. I dare to fight against Su Guozhou, but I am still afraid of you!
"Tell me about it." Lai Minjun argued.
Xu Xiaoxue felt the subtle atmosphere of the scene and couldn't help but think wildly, Aunt Jun couldn't be because of me! No, I probably didn't say anything, right?
Guo Yang looked solemn, guessing it was another academic dispute, or was it Su Guozhou?
The teacher wants to compete with him for the academician position of Caoye, but there is only a conflict of interest with him.
Ji Gang from Lutai came out to be the peacemaker.
"Haha, the leaders above are very optimistic about Jiahe and specially reminded us to do an exclusive interview."
These words seemed to wake up Lai Minjun, and Xu Xiaoxue also stepped forward to pull Lai Minjun.
Guo Yang looked at Lai Minjun who had returned to his normal demeanor, and his mood calmed down a bit.
“Jiahe’s current research on transgenics is mainly on improved forage varieties of degraded grasslands. There are some extremely stress-resistant plants in the desert.
Jiahe is trying to transform plants into The drought-resistant genes are cloned and transferred into native grass species. This is like giving the native grass species a new heart, allowing them to better adapt to drought, salinity and poor soil.
But Alfalfa No. 1 has its own unique salt resistance mechanism. Just like people, there are plants that don’t like salt, and there are also those who are addicted to salt. ”
Guo Yang answered in an orderly manner.
The reason for patiently explaining is mainly to prepare for the breeding research and development laboratory. In the future, a large number of forage seeds with different characteristics will be produced. .
Only if you master the genetic modification technology can you make sense.
After hearing Guo Yang's explanation, several people were unconvinced. You are the breeder and you have the final say.
"Alfalfa No. 1 has a very strong taste." Xu Xiaoxue lamented.
The corners of Guo Yang's mouth turned up slightly, "Indeed, liking salt is also a physiological need."
Over the course of the morning, Guo Yang led several people from the pasture to the laboratory, Processing plants, dairy farms, and even original seed propagation fields were visited one by one.
During this period, Lai Minjun was still inquiring about Jiahe's genetically modified technology research.
Guo Yang became impatient and threw a copy of the information he had prepared to her.
"We have also prepared a copy of the technical information for publicity. If necessary, just copy and paste it."
Afterwards, Guo Yang took out another CD and handed it to Ji Gang.
“It contains image data of 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land before improvement, project records during the improvement process, comparison of the effectiveness of alfalfa planting in one and two years after improvement, and aerial photography data this year.”
Ji Gang took the CD in surprise, "Can I watch it now?"
Xu Xiaoxue also showed a curious expression like a cat. The saline-alkali land improvement project has long been known.
"Of course."
Ten minutes later,
there was a long silence.
This was the first time for many of the employees of Alfalfa to see this information. The memories of the old employees came to mind, and they kept bragging about the past with the newcomers.
Ji Gang took a deep breath and said, "Dr. Guo, I think I know how to write this report."
There were stars in Xu Xiaoxue's eyes. The shock brought by Tianyu 1 had not dissipated, and Alfalfa 1 came again.
Guo Yang's young figure suddenly became majestic.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but raise her thumbs up: "Awesome! China needs entrepreneurs like you!"
Guo Yang was a little confused,
" Is this an extra little fangirl? ”
…
A few days later.
In the capital, in a certain courtyard.
At 6:58 in the evening, Xu Ting made a cup of wolfberry and jujube water as usual, then sat on the sofa and waited to watch the Lutai news.
To his surprise, his daughter and daughter-in-law Ning Caijuan were also in the living room, eating fruit and watching the TV.
It’s rare!
"Xiaoxue, what do you want to watch? I'll change it for you."
"No, I'll just follow the news."
Xu Ting joked, "Hey, the sun is coming out from the west today."
"If you look upside down tomorrow, I'm sure the sun is coming out from the west."
"Haha."
"Maybe I can be on camera later!"
After chatting for a while, the news started.
In the first ten minutes, the leaders were still very busy, either going abroad or going to the countryside.
Xu Ting watched with gusto, Xu Xiaoxue watched the TV absentmindedly, and Ning Caijuan observed her daughter.
The first ten minutes passed quickly,
The plot of the middle ten minutes usually showed that the people across the country were very happy, either getting rich or having a good harvest.
Xu Xiaoxue was familiar with this and turned her attention to the TV.
After a while, the familiar scene came to her. She was watching TV and looking at her old father, and she felt a little excited for no reason.
The host said the opening remarks with a perfect accent,
"The garden is full of spring scenery, and the saline-alkali land has turned into a 'treasure pot'. From the desolation of the Gobi to the green today.
Jiahe Group has explored a path for pasture to "eat salt" in Jiuquan, Long Province. In the severely saline-alkali land where almost all crops cannot grow normally, 2.5 tons of hay are harvested per acre, and more than 400 kilograms of salt are taken away."
Xu Xiaoxue saw her old father sitting upright and sighed. Turning her head, she saw Ning Caijuan looking at her.
Got it! The corners of the mouth are raised too high.
The lens of Lutai starts from a vast salt-alkali flat. Looking from a distance, the ground is covered with white flowers, as if it has snowed.
But as the camera zoomed in, it became clear that it was salt.
Then one day, hundreds of construction machinery and many workers suddenly appeared in the field.
The fields are in square shape, and irrigation and drainage channels are crisscrossed with ravines, crawling on the ground like blood vessels.
The footage is progressing very quickly.
I don’t know when,
In early summer, the salt-alkali flats were covered with a layer of green, and the emerald green Alfalfa No. 1 broke out from the thick soil.
Several large harvesters are busy and orderly shuttling through the pasture base for harvesting operations.
In the warehousing area, workers methodically bundle and load various forage products into trucks and send them to all over the world.
The neatly planned pasture base stretches for dozens of miles. Pointer irrigation machines lying prone like giant dragons roam the fields. The alfalfa grass is green and vigorous.
The host’s voice kept coming,
"Plowing deep into the desert, working hard to control it, and forging ahead, in just a few years, Jiahe Group has turned the vast Gobi desert into 200,000 acres of artificial grassland."
