Chapter 166 The new journey and the response to the island country’s forage
After handing over the acquisition of Denong’s agricultural supplies to Qu Yang, Guo Yang was temporarily free.
Walking around the office, the employees were all bent over their work.
Guo Yang didn't bother to catch anyone fishing. He returned to the office and overlooked the capital in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
After arriving in the capital, Guo Yang has been busy negotiating, and his mind is always running at high speed.
It's not that he doesn't believe in his team.
But as a time traveler, he has the advantage of foresight and knows which industries may seem bright and bright, but will be in a mess in the future.
Also know which industries may seem inconspicuous, but will soar in the future.
Without resting for a while,
Guo Yang thought of Bi Qiang and called him again, and was finally answered.
"Huh...huh..."
Through the mobile phone, the whistling wind whistled, and the sound was very noisy.
Guo Yang joked: "There has been no news for so long, I thought you were eaten by a wolf."
Bi Qiang controlled the off-road vehicle and shouted loudly: "Just now Coming out of the desert, the wind and sand were so strong that my car was turned into tinplate.”
“It is impossible to be eaten by wolves, but the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is really possible that the car will break down one day. It was turned into dried meat, so I rushed back.”
The wind comes at every turn in the desert, and the wind and sand blow, turning the sky and the earth into a muddy yellow. The sand hits the car windows, making the vision blurry.
Bi Qiang had no choice but to say: "I'll hang up now, and I'll get back to you when I get out."
Continue driving forward, in the distance, through the occasional stop of wind and sand, You can see a touch of green on the horizon.
Green is the color of life. Only when you come to the desert can you appreciate the preciousness of every touch of green.
“Du…”
Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief, it was just fine.
Seed hunters may sound cool, but to reach Bi Qiang’s level, the risk factor is also extremely high.
Desert, mountainous area, Gobi...
Guo Yang was thinking about how much more insurance he should buy for Bi Qiang. But after knowing the details, would the insurance company refuse the insurance?
Speaking of which, Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has been established in the Shasheng Botanical Garden in Minqin for more than two years.
He also had to find time to go back and cultivate a batch of special sand plants.
Among the grass species cultivated last time, Overlord Grass and White Sand Wormwood are also plants suitable for growing in extremely arid deserts, and they can definitely be used in farming and animal husbandry in Shahai.
However, desert conditions are complex, and different deserts have different suitable plants. Naturally, the more species, the better.
Starting from deserts and saline-alkali wastelands, natural energy accumulates faster.
After another two months of accumulation, the natural energy has also accumulated from 731 points to 749 points.
The treatment effect of Wuyuan saline-alkali land is obvious.
At the same time, Falcon Agriculture also purchased a batch of common grass seeds for sowing, focusing on random events, and some pastures also grew.
But the accumulation speed is still too slow!
Now under the Jiahe Group, Fengkai Agricultural Machinery has reached full production capacity this year.
Including the 250 million agricultural machinery orders from Angola and Iran's APEC Group, the annual output value is about 550 million, and the profit is about 170 million.
If you want to build two or three new production bases, you may also need capital injection from the group company.
But Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Tianhe Seed Industry are real cash cows.
A simple estimate,
Jinta Grassland’s pasture income this year is estimated to be about 1 billion yuan, seed income is 600 million yuan, and profit is about 740 million yuan;
Wuyuan is The newly improved land can cut two crops of pasture this year, with revenue of about 350 million yuan. Excluding improvements, factories and other costs, profits will have to wait until next year.
However, in the future, only daily operations are required, and part of the revenue can be used for investment.
And what about Tianhe?
Revenue is approximately 1.5 billion yuan.
But Tianyu No. 1 and Red No. 1 are both high-profit items, with profit margins as high as 60%-70%.
Tianhe’s net profit is conservatively around 900 million yuan.
Excluding operating funds, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Tianhe Seed Industry have nearly 3.1 billion yuan in funds available to expand reproduction.
If you include bank loans and financing, the funds that Jiahe can operate can even reach tens of billions of yuan.
But the collapse of the Delong Group is still around the corner, so Jiahe is better off staying in business honestly.
Stable, safe and influential!
Just like now if state-owned capital wants to discuss cooperation, it has to be polite and contact him privately first.
Again, only when a company has sufficient cash flow can it choose a partner calmly.
Calculate the projects that require investment.
The money invested by Weiguang Company and Hong Kong Island Blue Star cannot be touched. In addition to stocks, it is high-quality shops in major cities in China. This part is about 1.5 billion yuan.
In addition, 300,000 acres of soybean organic planting base, the acquisition of Delong Animal Husbandry, Delong Agricultural Products Supermarket, three dairy distribution centers in North China, East China and South China,
600,000 acres of grassland in Urad Degradation Management, Falcon Center…
The above must be at least 1 billion yuan.
If you include the possible Lop Nur potassium salt project, the figures are hard to come by. However, for the Lop Nur potash project, it is estimated that the State Development Investment Corporation will also advance it through loans.
Under the condition of controlling risks, Jiahe can use at least 2-3 billion yuan to operate soil remediation projects.
Guo Yang was thinking about where to get the land.
“Dingle bell…”
"Boss, Hunan Torch has been taken over by Weichai Power." It was Yu Honghai, with a little melancholy in his voice.
“Huarong Company organized a quotation meeting this morning. Delong’s 28.12% stake in Hunan Torch was sold for more than 600 million yuan, and there was still more than 400 million yuan in debt.”
Guo Yang said: "With more than 1 billion, Jiahe does not need to participate. There is too little complementarity between heavy trucks and the group's main business."
Yu Honghai sighed, "It's just a pity. Now Xiang Torch's Once the mechanical parts products are integrated with Weichai Power's products, the linkage effect and scale advantage will be too great."
Guo Yang asked abruptly: "Actually, you want to build a car, right?"
< br>
"Haha...haha..." This laughter was somewhat pale, and Yu Honghai seemed to have been exposed.
Guo Yang asked: "When will the expansion of production capacity be completed?"
Yu Honghai said: "The first phase will not be put into production until at least March next year. After it is put into production, the annual production capacity will be 50,000 National Taiwan University medium-sized wheel tractor."
Guo Yang thought about what he had just thought about, "How about moving the northwest agricultural machinery production base to Jiayuguan?"
"It's okay, Jiuquan Iron and Steel is located in Jiayuguan. The group also has certain industrial advantages, but the procurement of spare parts is more troublesome. ”
Guo Yang said with a smile: "But if it is aimed at the northwest markets such as Xinjiang Province, it will be more convenient to transport the finished machines. The group will make big moves in the northwest next, and it must be supported by agricultural machinery."
"Big move?" Yu Honghai Surprised, he knew that Guo Yang's skill was not small.
When I was young, I dared to acquire 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land, and the saline-alkali land turned really green. It was even featured on CCTV, which aroused the enthusiasm of all walks of life for saline-alkali land.
With Jiahe’s current size, a big project would be considered a big move.
Guo Yang smiled: "Let's start with two million acres, and this time it is all self-built, and the land conditions involved will not be very good."
Yu Honghai was surprised, "How about directly upgrading the northwest assembly plant into a production base? Can we survive by relying on the group's business?"
"The best is this, the group is currently planning a joint venture between Jiayuguan and Jiuquan "The Gobi Desert."
"Okay, I'll adjust the plan."
Guo Yang also came back from imagining the future.
There is still a way to go before the new project is implemented, but if the revenue this year and next is to meet expectations, we must do a good job in current production work.
Agricultural machinery production has a fixed assembly line, so it is difficult to make mistakes.
However, grass cultivation, processing, and seed production are greatly affected by natural and man-made factors and cannot be ignored for a moment.
Guo Yang stayed in the capital for a few more days.
During the period, I was met by some leaders, and their words were full of praise for the Golden Pagoda and Wuyuan Salt-alkali Land.
‘Activating saline-alkali lands and building new granaries’ has become an important task for China in the future.
The biggest task of Alfalfa is to fully produce Alfalfa No. 1 seeds and ensure the supply of seeds.
In addition, sandstorms hit the capital again this spring. Seeing that the Olympic Games are approaching, the capital's "blue sky plan" has been frequently blocked.
The desert control in the Three Norths is also urgent.
In particular, a certain old man said two years ago that "Minqin must not be allowed to become the second Lop Nur."
In the past two years, Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has invested hundreds of millions in the sand nests along Minqin Qingtu Lake, and tens of thousands of people have pressed the sand to plant trees for more than two years.
A touch of green has blocked the middle of the two deserts.
Jiahe has set an example for private enterprises, but the upper management also hopes that Jiahe can take on more.
Guo Yang went with the flow and came up with a new plan.
At the same time, the State Development Investment Corporation has also loosened its grip on the Lop Nur potash project.
He learned that since the Lop Nur potash project in Delong had problems with financing, it was the National Development and Reform Commission that invited China Development Bank to take over the Luo potassium project.
He also invited China Consulting Company to conduct a preliminary demonstration and put forward two opinions.
First, the natural environment of Lop Nur is harsh, supporting facilities are seriously lacking, and there are problems with water, electricity, and transportation;
Second, the financing guarantee issues of the Luo Potassium Project have not been clarified. .
This also gives Jiahe Group an opportunity to participate.
The worst thing is that in terms of environmental management, Jiahe is professional.
Negotiating cooperation and signing a framework agreement is a long process, and news inevitably gets spread.
For several days, banks rushed to provide loans to Jiahe.
Soon, the news that Jiahe needed financing spread like wildfire, and hunters from all walks of life came one after another like wolves smelling fishy smell.
Guo Yang has now boarded the plane back to Jiuquan. After a short rest, he will head to Xinjiang Province.
……
Island country, a certain port.
It was a busy scene.
The dock is full of various containers, and cranes are constantly shuttling back and forth to lift the containers off the ship and then put them on the dock or load them onto the ship.
A cargo ship from China sailed into the port. After some handover and waiting, the customs came.
Masho Hatano is a customs inspector. He routinely inspects the vehicle disinfection certificate and other documents.
The freighter is a medium-to-large container ship that can hold more than 6,000 standard containers, attracting a lot of attention.
A few white people came over and looked at the containers on the freighter. "Hatano-kun, where did this batch of goods come from? Do you still need to do random inspection?"
"Alfalfa products from China." Looking at the list, Hatano Masako was also a little surprised.
Chinese pasture? It's really rare.
Haisi frowned and saw two yellow-skinned people communicating with the customs officers.
He originally thought he was from the island country, but turned out to be from China.
No wonder random inspections are needed.
No Asian country is included in the clean zone of island countries. On the contrary, alfalfa exported from the United States to island countries can enjoy preferential treatment without inspection.
Hayes looked at the freighter, it was almost full, and his face darkened.
Haisi said to Bodo: "Then you have to check carefully. China's alfalfa processing is prone to problems, and fumigation and disinfection are even more cutting corners."
"It's just a routine matter."
"Yes. How many tons?" Hayes asked.
“170,000 tons?” Bodo looked at the customs declaration and seemed unsure.
Hayes frowned and looked at the container ship, always feeling something strange.
Bodo organizers randomly selected the containers and opened them. Surprisingly, the products were very neat and standardized.
People from the Dairy Farmers Association also came and nodded with satisfaction. There is a reason why people who went to China to inspect were full of praise for alfalfa.
No problem visible to the naked eye.
Straw bales, grass blocks, and grass powder are inspected one by one.
Then came the related quarantine, and it took nearly a day to finish.
No problem!
The people from the Dairy Farmers Association received the goods with satisfaction, and then temporarily transferred them to the warehouse for storage.
The news that the Dairy Farmers Association imported a shipment of alfalfa from China spread quickly.
The Dairy Growers Association is the largest dairy organization in the island country and has always maintained high quality of pasture.
It is undoubtedly surprising that this batch of alfalfa from China can be favored by the Dairy Farmers Association.
What's more, the purchase volume is still so large.
Many large forage farmers have inquired through various channels.
In an izakaya in Ehime Prefecture, Shintaro Iwata was a little drunk.
"Iwata-kun, which company imports China's alfalfa from? Don't hide it if you have high-quality and low-cost channels!"
"Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, one family Company in Northwest China ”
Iwata rolled his eyes, "The quality of Alfalfa's products is indeed good, but the price is not cheap."
"More expensive than the United States?"
"Well, the highest grade is more expensive per ton. Forty or fifty dollars, it’s about the same as ordinary alfalfa.”
“Why is it so expensive?”
“It’s high in nutrients and worth the money.” Iwata added while taking a sip, "It's not 170,000 tons, it's 260,000 tons, and there are still 90,000 tons to wait for a month."
Too expensive!
After knowing the price of alfalfa, many people are deterred.
The important reason why island countries want to get rid of their dependence on American alfalfa is the price!
Unexpectedly, a more ruthless one came.
“Are Chinese people crazy about money?”
"With such a high price, all farmers in China will have to switch to alfalfa!"
"The Dairy Farmers Association is crazy!"
"It may be a new variety, wait a little longer In a few years, the price will naturally come down."
"It's difficult. China's own forage market demand is also very large. Just like the United States, the main forage is still used for self-use."
"This. You don’t understand. Alfalfa is a rare commodity for livestock in China, and ordinary cattle cannot eat it.”
"Then just wait. With China's urine, pasture will be overrun in at most one or two years."
"The conditions in the island country are still too poor. There is insufficient arable land and the rainy season is long. If you want to grow pasture, you can only It could be silage."
Looking back, "Didn't the Dairy Growers Association also import a batch of alfalfa from China two years ago?"
"I know, the quality is not very good. After passing the customs, the quarantine bureau even suspected that the batch of grass contained diseases.”
“Iwata planted it again”
Just as all walks of life in the island country were ridiculing Iwata, a nutritional content test sheet for Alfalfa No. 1 came out from the Dairy Farmers Association.
Things have taken a turn.
The protein reaches 30%, the fiber reaches 47%, and the fat content is less than 1%.
Every indicator has great appeal.
The higher the nutritional value of alfalfa feed, the better the quality of beef milk and the higher the milk yield.
"Baga, no wonder Iwata is willing to spend so much money to import Chinese alfalfa."
"China has always been known for its high quality and low price, but I didn't expect it to be the opposite this time."
Some people also praised it. ,
"Iwata-kun has been unwilling to give up looking for high-quality forage from China for many years, and now he has finally achieved results."
"It is still too expensive." Some farmers complained.
However, for some cattle farms with strength and brand requirements, quality is everything.
Moreover, the more nutritious alfalfa is, the better it can replace concentrated feed.
If fed to pigs, it can replace 30%-40% of concentrated feed, and the proportion of the diet of cattle and sheep can reach 100%.
In addition, increasing the feeding amount of high-quality alfalfa hay can also improve the physical condition of cattle, improve their reproductive performance, and extend their service life.
For large-scale high-quality dairy farms, the benefits it brings are obvious.
One after another, companies approached Shintaro Iwata.
It was still the same izakaya, and under the dim light, Iwata looked very comfortable.
"Iwata-kun, please be sure to sell me some Chinese alfalfa feed. The island nation's Wagyu cattle need such good feed."
"Iwata-kun, we also need high-quality alfalfa meal."
"Qianda, your chicken farm also needs to add alfalfa feed?"
"The latest research from the Chiba Livestock Center found that when high-quality alfalfa meal is added to the feed, the beta carotene in the yolk of eggs is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary eggs."
Iwata was also stunned. Does the king still have this effect?
Another person asked: "What are the benefits of eating this kind of egg?"
"Beta carotene ratio helps to remove reactive oxygen species and peroxidized lipids in the body."
< br>“Speak human language.”
"Preventing cell aging, it is good for health and delays aging."
Iwata looked at his increasingly rough skin, "I can sign a contract and ship it tomorrow as much as I need, but you have to send me some in the future. Eggs.”
For several days, people and the Dairy Farmers Association reached an agreement.
Iwata also welcomes everyone.
The price of Alfalfa No. 1 is indeed high, and the Dairy Farmers Association cannot afford such a large quantity. It might as well sell some of it to share the cost.
After all the operations, Xiong Ze Zhengshu was so angry that he vomited blood.
It was obviously him first.
But there is no way, the weak will prevail. The company he works for is only an import trader, and its influence is far inferior to that of the Dairy Farmers Association.
Alfalfa 1 caused such a huge response in the island country, and the news naturally spread to the United States.
Alfalfa is one of the four major agricultural crops in the United States. Its planting area is second only to corn and soybeans, and is equivalent to wheat planting area, about 130 million acres.
Annual alfalfa hay production reaches 145 million tons.
The best quality parts need to be carefully selected and then processed and exported to markets such as Japan and South Korea.
Even the highest grade alfalfa costs only about US$360-380.
China’s alfalfa sold for US$410, and someone took away a piece of the fattest piece of meat in the high-end market.
I am heartbroken and gnashing my teeth with hatred.
California, Nitro Corporation.
When he learned that his subsidiary Dairy Farmers Association had imported 170,000 tons of alfalfa products from China, the gray-haired Barnes was furious.
“Damn it, no wonder the Dairy Growers Association has reduced its orders by half this year!”
170,000 tons!
Transaction volume of tens of millions of dollars.
Barnes' heart is bleeding!
Nitro Corporation not only exports forage, but is also the largest alfalfa seed manufacturer and exporter in the Americas.
“China, it’s China again!”
Barnes looked at the quality information transmitted back about the Alfalfa No. 1.
His expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
None of Nitro's varieties can compare.
No!
There are nearly 300 certified alfalfa varieties in the United States, but none of them are of comparable quality.
Barnes kept mumbling,
“Damn it!”
"Damn it!"
"With China's production technology level, can we select 1 ton of this quality of grass out of 100 tons?"
Barnes is engaged in alfalfa cultivation and seed production. For decades, we have witnessed the history of alfalfa development in the United States.
Today, the annual transaction volume of alfalfa seeds in the United States exceeds 20 billion US dollars.
Nitro is the leader in the industry and has many seed patents. It even successfully screened the first germplasm material MSR that is resistant to Sclerotinia clover through the inoculation technology of living leaves and stems.
But alfalfa of such high quality was the only one he had ever seen in his life.
Except the cream of the crop.
He couldn't imagine what the Alfalfa No. 1 energy production scene would be like.
