Chapter 157 How to Achieve a Qualitative Leap
In mid-June, the weather is getting hotter, but it is also the busiest season for breeding.
China has set off a debate about genetically modified foods.
Many media outlets have followed up with reports one after another. Those who support, those who oppose, and those who wait and see are very lively.
Genetically modified foods have sneaked into the three meals a day of Chinese people. When people see huge potatoes and pork with ultra-thin fat layer in the market, their reaction is not only surprise.
But think about it, is this genetically modified food?
Do I want to eat this?
In this context, there is less information about Tianyu 1 in public opinion.
Guo Yang looked at the city from the window,
In the past two years, the urban construction of Jiuquan Suzhou District has improved, and the urban peripheral pattern surrounded by oasis has been formed.
It looks towards the Qilian Snow Mountains in the south and the vast desert sea in the north.
Jiahe Group has also contributed to the development of the city in the past two years. News reports from time to time have also made Jiahe a household name in the city.
Xie Shijie had already contacted him to publish the article, and Guo Yang couldn't help but begin to analyze the ins and outs of this incident.
Inexplicably being tricked by someone, although Tianhe cleverly diverted the trouble to the east, it may even help the promotion of Tianyu No. 1 and Tiandou No. 1 in the future.
But Tianhe is not a soft persimmon, and he will always find his place.
Through the channels of the Ministry of Agriculture, Guo Yang already knew that Lai Minjun was involved.
When the old woman first came to Jiuquan, she directly asked if Alfalfa No. 1 was genetically modified.
With bad intentions.
But who is behind it is still a mystery.
There are many domestic corn seed companies and the industry concentration is low.
To say that the biggest competitors are definitely Denghai Seed Industry, Denong Seed Industry and Shazhou Seed Industry.
All three families are suspected, and Denong is the most suspected. After all, they are in the capital and have geographical advantages.
Tianyu 1 also poses the greatest threat to Zhengdan 958.
Guo Yang thought for a while, it didn't matter who was causing the obstruction.
As far as corn is concerned, Tianhe Seed Industry is not targeting one company, but all companies.
Tianhe's subsequent counterattack will only become more violent.
In order to expand market share and implement price reduction strategies, the production and marketing departments jointly studied.
This year, the seed production area of Tianyu No. 1 has reached 100,000 acres, with an estimated output of about 200 million kilograms. The sowing has been completed in mid-April.
The competition next year will only be more brutal!
Guo Yang thought that he should go to the fields more, otherwise he would not be worthy of his name as a breeder.
He did it as soon as he thought of it. It was only after two o'clock in the afternoon and it was still early. Guo Yang called the driver Lao Song.
“Go, go to the countryside.”
Tianhe’s 100,000 acres of corn are mainly scattered in Jiuquan and Zhangye. The “going to the countryside” that Guo Yang said naturally refers to Jiuquan.
Suzhou, Jinta, Yumen.
After asking, he learned that Yan Qun was in Yumen at the moment. Although it was far away, more than 150 kilometers away, Guo Yang thought he hadn't been there yet, so he set off with Lao Song.
When leaving the city from the west, apart from the vast tracts of fertile fields in the first section of the road, there was also an ancient wasteland with no grass growing on it, which made Guo Yang feel panicked.
"Old Song, you said it would be great if the more than 20 kilometers of Gobi between Jiayuguan and Jiuquan were fully developed."
Old Song is a native of Suzhou. He is usually very taciturn. Have a sense of presence.
"It's difficult. Jiuquan is now developing to the east and south. Nothing can be done in this vast Gobi."
"Maybe there will be opportunities in the future."
Guo Yang looked through the car window at the Gobi desert, which was full of razor-like stones. The texture was so hard that only one or two tenacious plants could be seen occasionally.
This is the norm in the northwest.
He imagined that in ten or twenty years, the vast Gobi desert between Jiuquan and Jiayuguan would be turned into a large area of grassland.
After the car drove for two hours, traces of seed corn appeared on both sides of the road.
After arriving in a rural town, as soon as I opened the car door, I felt a wave of heat coming over me.
"Old Song, you don't have to follow me. Find a place to buy some food and wine and give them extra food in the evening."
"That's great."
Guo Yang put on his straw hat and sat in a corn field. I found Yan Qun inside. In this weather, he must have just come out of the station.
The corn is still in the jointing stage, about 1 meter high, reaching Guo Yang’s waist.
As soon as he entered the ground, Guo Yang frowned.
"Old Yan, the growth of this seed production land is average, and there are bald spots in some places."
Yan Qun was wearing a sun-protective long-sleeved dress, with sweat stains on his dark face.
“The management of seed producers has not kept up.”
“The seed production base was signed just this year?”
Yan Qun smiled bitterly, “Yes, in the past two years. Seed production is developing rapidly. Too many companies have come to the Hexi Corridor to produce seeds, and land for seed production is very tight.”
“Especially bases with good seed production conditions are very popular, and different varieties are intertwined with each other, making management very troublesome.”
“In order to compete for seed production bases, some companies continue to drive up land prices. In the past, they only included the output value. Some areas now even require guarantees of yield and variety.”
Guo Yang also knew that corn seed production was very clear, but he didn’t expect it to evolve so intensely.
Whether it is a good year or a disaster year, seed production companies have to pay farmers according to the guaranteed output value, and the pressure is increasing.
But Tianhe’s profits are high!
The drag has also crippled other companies!
Guo Yang wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "In the long run, it will be beneficial to Tianhe!"
Yan Qun was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Guo Yang meant.
“It’s just that production management is difficult.”
“Small farmers who produce seeds have a strong awareness of production and do not pay attention to management quality. Many problems occurred in the early sowing and removal of impurities and defects,
>
Nowadays, top dressing is closely monitored, and some seed producers are not cooperative, causing many conflicts. ”
Guo Yang also knows that fertilizer is the key to the high yield of Tianyu No. 1.
Base fertilizer; top dressing in the jointing stage; top dressing in the trumpet stage; if possible, it is best to supplement it with Foliar fertilizer is mixed with water and sprayed; top dressing is also required during the grain filling period.
After several years of experiments, Tianhe has long mastered the secret of high yield of Tianyu No. 1, but many farmers often cut corners. < br>
Yan Qun said: "Many graduates who have just joined the job cannot deal with the old fritters in the village. Some time ago, a little girl was so angry that she cried. ”
"Little girl? Has Tianhe hired a female technician?" Guo Yang asked.
"I am an intern who just joined the job. I wonder what the girl thinks? Seed production requires a station. She is very tanned and thin and small."
Guo Yang was silent. After a while, I could probably guess a little bit, "Let the young men in the company keep an eye on you, and stay if you can."
"That's for sure, girls are rarer than giant pandas in the base."
< br>Guo Yang is relatively reassured about Yan Qun. He has risen from the grassroots level to the middle and high levels of the Huaxia Seed Industry. Whether it is management or technology, he is second to none.
However, the area suddenly increased from 20,000 acres to 100,000 acres, and many new employees were hired, so problems were inevitable.
Yan Qun and Guo Yang drove around the base. It was almost 5 o'clock, and farmers were coming out to work one after another.
Hat and long sleeves are almost standard.
After looking at it for a while, the growth of the other plots of land was better than that of the first plot, and he also understood that Yan Qun specially selected a piece of land with the biggest problem to show him.
This guy is very thoughtful. The company has good performance and the production pressure is high. He clearly wants to complain.
Overall, Tianhe’s seed production base planning is relatively reasonable.
The plots are large, flat, can be irrigated, and have access to roads. The scattered plots are also in good condition and can produce high yields.
But occasionally there are areas that intersect with other species, criss-crossing each other, and the isolation areas are not up to standard.
"Which company is there? Is there no quarantine zone?"
Guo Yang pointed to the seed production field separated by a canal and a road. It was obvious that the opposite side of the road was not Tianyu No. 1.
"It is a small seed enterprise. It is difficult to run. There may be some secret operations with village cadres."
Guo Yang pondered for a moment, "Scrap the seeds in the quarantine area. Tianyu No. 1 has just emerged from the public opinion of genetically modified If we come out of this, we can no longer have quality problems.”
Yan Qun nodded, that is the advantage of a strong company, and quality risks can be dealt with in a timely manner.
This is how corporate brands are built.
Walking and stopping, it took more than two hours to finish seeing the base.
Although he was sweating, Guo Yang felt happy after a long time, and he regained the feeling of being a farmer in his previous life.
It’s better to go to the countryside!
Staff at the base are flexible in adjusting their working hours. Recently, they work from 6:30 to 11:30 in the morning and from 4 to 7 in the afternoon.
When Guo Yang arrived at the station, Lao Song had organized people to place various hard dishes and fruits in the canteen.
Guo Yang looked at the time and said to the person next to him: "It's already 7 o'clock, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Most of them are still on the way. They usually arrive after 7:30."
......
Four young people got into the pickup truck, and one of them, a fat young man, sat down and roared.
“Quick, turn the air conditioner to the maximum.”
“I say, Senior Brother Guan, it’s time for you to lose weight. Look, you are hot and sweating profusely.”
Xiong Xing joked that he was the thinnest among the group and the hottest. Hearing this, he just turned on the air conditioner to mid-range.
Brother Guan breathed a sigh of relief as a cool breeze blew.
The girl sitting in the back row said: "Brother Guan, where can I get two bottles of righteousness water?"
"Hey, can't stand it anymore?"
"It's a bit It’s uncomfortable.”
Xiao Lin, the only woman in the base, smiled wildly upon hearing this.
Senior Brother Guan took two bottles of righteousness water and handed them to the two people behind.
Xiong Xing, who was driving, said: "As for me, give me one quickly. I'm working outdoors. I feel like I'm about to have a heat stroke."
"Xiong, don't worry. Well, you won’t get a heat stroke.”
“Why won’t I get a heat stroke under such a big sun?” Xiong Xing wondered.
"Have you forgotten? You come from a poor family, and you are so cold!"
"Pfft..." Several people were amused. Apparently Senior Brother Guan still remembered that Xiong Xing said he was fat.
“Don’t tell me, maybe it’s really important.”
Xiong Xing still got the Zhengqi Water and said, “The conditions at home are really not good. I came here because Tianhe provided good food, housing and welfare benefits.”
The officials were also quite emotional.
“After working for so many years, Tianhe does have the best treatment, including high temperature subsidies and holiday expenses.”
Xiao Lin swallowed the Zhengqi water in one gulp and drank it from the beginning The doubtful life that followed has become routine now.
"Me too, I owed student loans when I was studying, and I wanted to pay them back early."
"How much do I owe?"
"No matter how much it is, it doesn't matter. I can pay it off in just one year at Tianhe." Xiao Lin said with an optimistic smile.
After a while, we approached the base.
Xiong Xing had sharp eyes and saw an extra car in the base from a distance, and someone was holding a beer at the table.
“Have a beer?”
“Holy shit, you need extra food tonight?”
"It's really alas, which leader came down to inspect it?"
"I can't tell, I've never seen this car before."
The official said: "Tianhe is also very good at this. No matter whether the boss is a big leader or a small leader, he must be given extra meals.”
“I heard that I learned this from the chairman. Director Guo likes to give extra meals to his employees wherever he goes. . ”
A few people got out of the car, and everyone’s clothes and shoes were more or less dusty, and their bodies were stained with sweat.
The official realized that the matter seemed not simple and murmured: "Is that person Guo Dong?"
"I'll go, it seems to be true."
"So young!"
“I feel more handsome than on TV!” Xiao Lin said.
“Haven’t you seen enough of our handsome guys?”
"Uh... Bah... I'm almost tanned, do you want some face?"
"By the way, Xiaolin, how did you get so angry that you cried at that time?"
"Look for it? I’ll hit you!”
Guo Yang watched several young people come back talking and laughing, and felt that the atmosphere in the base was pretty good.
People came back one after another. After walking into the canteen, they saw the table full of sumptuous dishes, and they couldn't hold it in any longer.
After the meal started, there was a lot of drinking and drinking, and after a few glasses of beer, everyone relaxed a little.
In a sparsely populated base, there is rarely such a lively atmosphere.
Guo Yang also took the opportunity to say a few words of encouragement, "Tianhe's performance this year is very good, and it is inseparable from your efforts. The salary increase and year-end bonus at the end of the year are indispensable!"
Official Several young technicians took the lead in cheering.
“Boss, great atmosphere!”
Guo Yang watched as the only female technician in the base took a bottle of beer and a wine glass and walked towards him.
"Senior Brother Guo, let me offer you a glass of wine!"
"Okay." Guo Yang never hesitated to drink with grassroots employees when he went to the countryside. After drinking, he asked, "That's right. Gan Nong's?"
Xiao Lin nodded and asked, "Can interns also get a salary increase and year-end bonus at the end of the year?"
Guo Yang was naturally unambiguous, "Both of them. As long as they are Tianhe employees!”
"Okay!"
"Boss, you are so powerful!"
"Boss, you are so handsome!"
Cheers came and went, and people kept coming to Guo Yang to toast.
Yan Qun was the last one to come, "Boss, you came to the countryside once and sent us to the countryside ten times."
"Well, you old Yan, when did you learn to flatter me!" Guo Yang laughed and scolded, "No, you are trying to kill me!"
Yan Qun raised his glass, "I'm telling the truth, you Look how excited the employees are!"
"I think you can teach Lao Xiang a lesson!" Guo Yang said.
"Huh? I can't teach him."
Drink it in one gulp.
Guo Yang finally asked his doubts, "Why does this beer feel weird today? It doesn't taste as good as before."
"The original state-owned brewery was restructured and formed a joint venture with Carlsberg to form Western Beer Co., Ltd., the process has changed and less hops are used," Yan Qun sighed.
The surrounding employees also kept echoing, "Now there are fewer and fewer hops."
"I used to pick hops as part of my work-study program."
"I saw hops. I was so scared that I used to pick hops every day during the holidays.”
"What do you mean? I picked hops from 1985 to 1992, hops in September and beets in October."
"Now students also have to pick. They are all state-owned farms. My children's school requires picking 5 Kilograms, he only picked 3 kilograms until dark."
There was a lot of discussion, and Guo Yang finally understood the whole story.
No wonder he wasn’t drunk today. He thought he was good at drinking, but it turned out to be water and beer.
Under the influence of alcohol, Guo Yang became so arrogant, "One day Jiahe will also find a piece of land, grow his own hops and barley, brew his own beer, and have enough internal management!"
"Okay!"
"Boss, you are more handsome than Nicholas Tse!"
"Ugh...greasy."
"Hahaha..."
"Boss, when will you let us eat seafood from the northwest?"
"You idiot, why are you carrying this pot?" the official pretended to criticize, as if he was afraid that Guo Yang wouldn't hear him.
"Hahaha..."
At this time, Guo Yang didn't bother to correct that it was an aquatic product. Why can't it be called seafood if it is raised in saline-alkali land?
"I will definitely be able to eat it next year!"
"Next year and next year..."
"I will find the Strategic Investment Department to establish a project when I get back!"
The party lasted for nearly two hours before it ended, but it was just getting dark at that time, and Lao Song and Guo Yang drove to Jiuquan overnight.
In the base of Yumen.
Xiao Lin and several other interns and young technicians were sitting in the courtyard. The starry sky and the Milky Way visible to the naked eye drew a long corridor.
Beer bottles were scattered on the ground.
Xiao Lin raised the bottle to the sky proudly, "Thank you Tianhe, do it!"
The other people looked at each other in surprise, "Xiao Lin, stop drinking, you will get drunk if you drink any more!"
>"I'm not drunk!"
"I'm very sober!"
"I very clearly remember that our family's annual income was only 300 yuan last year, but after the internship, I could get 1,000 yuan!”
“One month is equal to the original three years’ income!”
“I want to stay in Tianhe and get a loan from TM!”
The other interns also stood up, Tianhe Base The work is harder than any other farming company, but there are benefits here that other companies can't offer.
“Thank you Tianhe, do it!”
Official officials also joined in the fun, offering 1,000 yuan per month, I couldn’t help but feel happy.
The next day, Guo Yang woke up in a daze and looked for water. It was already getting dark. When he looked at the time, it was only 5 o'clock.
Turn back to sleep.
But I couldn't sleep anymore. The problems I saw in the fields yesterday emerged one after another.
In the future, Tianhe’s corn, vegetable and other seed production bases will only continue to expand, coupled with competition from other companies for seed production bases.
Conflicts with localities and farmers will only increase in the future.
Without a large area of land that can be operated on a large scale, production costs cannot be reduced, and it is difficult to realize the benefits of land scale.
Not only Tianhe, Jiuquan's Shazhou Seed Industry, Huihuang Seed Industry, and Western Region Sunshine's tomato industry are all facing this problem.
Only by solving the land problem can Tianhe Seed Industry achieve a qualitative leap and completely widen the gap with domestic corn seed companies.
Then the big fish keeps eating the small fish!
But how will Tianhe break the situation?
Should we start with alfalfa farming and animal husbandry?
Guo Yang thought about the gains and losses, and fell asleep again, half-conscious and half-conscious.
I don’t know how long it took,
“Bang…” Guo Yang suddenly sat up and said to himself: “Fuck, how could I dream of Yu Honghai? It shouldn’t be a beauty or something like that. ”
Yu Honghai, Fengkai Agricultural Machinery?
Seed production machinery!
Guo Yang remembered another problem of Tianhe Seed Industry, which is that it relies too much on labor, which makes the seed production base unable to be separated from the seed production farmers.
Fengkai Agricultural Machinery has to continue rolling.
We can only suffer a little longer.
After a while, the phone rang. I glanced and it was Xie Shijie. It was almost 9 o'clock.
Open the curtains and the dazzling sunlight shines in.
"Hey..."
"Boss, yesterday's article was posted on the Internet early in the morning, and now the Internet is very noisy."
"Let Lao Song pick it up. Me.”
