Chapter 241 Canyon
There are many good things in Africa. Many plants may seem unsuitable, but they have specific excellent germplasm genes, which is the most precious.
After temporarily deciding where to go, Guo Yang immediately called Yu Qin.
The bell rang for a while before it was answered.
“Hello, boss.”
Guo Yang said: "The group intends to invest in farms in Africa. Qu Yang said that King Quan may have the idea of investing in marigold farms."
After only a short pause, Yu Qin said with great joy: " So interesting. ”
The value of marigold mainly comes from the chlorophyll in flower processing, which is widely used in medicine, food, feed and other fields.
But the main market is for export, and in the past, it was mostly sold by foreign middlemen.
The disorderly competition among domestic enterprises and the false hype of planting area have caused the pigmented marigold products to drop to the processing cost price.
"Okay, let me communicate first and let Ning Xiaojing contact you then."
Quanwang Biology has not had an easy life these past two years.
It seems to have extensive business and sufficient technical reserves, but in the past two years, there has been no financial support from the group.
Technical achievements have not been transformed, and the entire technical research has been temporarily slowed down.
Maybe if you don’t pay attention, latecomers will catch up.
But there are also fields with high moats in Quanwang. Sophora japonica, which is tailor-made for botanical pesticides, has insect-resistant and bactericidal properties that are much more powerful than those found in plants.
Guo Yang asked: "How is the market development of biopesticides going?"
Yu Qin smiled bitterly and said: "Currently the biggest customer is the organic soybeans cooperated by Tianhe and Jiusan Planting base. "
"The effect is slower than chemical pesticides, and the price is 10%-20% more expensive. Farmers are not very accepting."
Guo Yang said: "The problem is not big. Let’s digest the internal business of the group first.”
Alfalfa on the 100,000-acre organic soybean planting base has been returned to the fields with green manure, and sowing is about to begin.
At the same time, Hainan’s new batch of Tiandou No. 1 seeds that have been propagated by generation are about to be harvested, so it should be no problem to sow them in the summer.
The organic soybean base, coupled with the promotion of seed production bases in various places, this part of the business is enough for the king to digest for the time being.
After ending the call with Yu Qin, Guo Yang worked overtime for a while to process the accumulated documents.
The next day, I first went to see the conditions of various factories, and then went to the countryside to visit various seed production bases.
The factory's seed processing has come to an end, and Hexi Dairy is currently busy.
The area of the seed production base has also been expanded to 500,000 acres, but the management problems have not been as great as when the area was expanded from 20,000 acres to 100,000 acres.
This proves that Tianhe’s management level has actually improved.
Tianhe’s premium per mu is now the only one available, and seed producers are flocking to it.
So Tianhe’s seed production bases are now connected in large areas. The isolation areas comply with regulations and are easy to manage.
Various control requirements are also extremely strict, and farmers obey Tianhe’s instructions.
The possibility of parent seeds being leaked has been reduced again, achieving the goal of controlling deck seeds from the source.
The only problem may be that there are too many new employees, and there may be a lack of technical guidance in seed production.
There are even cases where farmers in turn clamor or provide guidance to college students.
But this is normal.
Overall, perfect.
After this year’s Jinta alfalfa pasture rotation, Tianhe’s seed production system will also transform into a model that combines its own bases with farmers’ seed production.
It not only drives the local area, but also further improves its ability to resist risks.
……
There are 216 million acres of undeveloped Gobi desert in Jiuquan City, accounting for the vast majority of the city’s land.
There are approximately two million acres of land with potential for development.
The people of Jiuquan have long been accustomed to the living environment of the Gobi Desert, and occasionally there are projects to develop Gobi facility agriculture.
It is nothing more than building a greenhouse and using substrates to grow vegetables and fruit trees in the greenhouse. This is not a strange thing nowadays.
Strictly speaking, it is not as mysterious as the government claims: the Gobi desert is transformed into mulberry fields and cultivated land is recreated.
But now, a company has actually done this, planting trees in the Gobi.
Although there are still very few plots of land that have been moved, it has caused a stir.
Citizens can’t help but stop and look at it when passing by.
It turns out that gravel is everywhere here, the soil is poor, the vegetation is sparse, and wind and sand are the norm.
Now, it has changed its attitude.
The wind blows from the depths of the Qilian Mountains, blowing through the hard-to-reach sea buckthorn garden at the foot of the mountain.
The saplings are very small, and the occasional wind and sand make them particularly fragile.
But it carries hope.
Before going out again, Guo Yang also came to this desert and saw a busy scene.
The originally undulating Gobi Desert has become flat, and two roller stone pickers are still shuttling back and forth to pick up large stones.
The stone picker is not the two that Guo Yang once modified. It was developed specifically by Fengkai Agricultural Machinery, and the tractor towed was also replaced by the Cheetah 220 series.
It's big and powerful. It doesn't matter if the fine gravels are not picked up cleanly. If you pick up the big ones, it will complete the task.
The excavator digs a trench with wide and narrow rows, drip irrigation soaks the soil, and then digs a hole to plant seedlings.
But in another adjacent land, it is a different scene.
The dwarf seabuckthorn forest faces the wind and sand, but it possesses invincible vitality. Long lines of deep black drip irrigation belts are pulled out from the shallow burial.
Guo Yang came to the greenhouse where the seedlings were raised, and another batch of cuttings of sea buckthorn seedlings had sprouted.
Outside the greenhouse, a large truck was parked, and workers wearing headscarves were busy loading seedlings.
Guo Yang smiled and said: "Why don't you decorate my private plane too, and I'll take it to Altai on the way."
Xie Shijie looked at him blankly and paused for a while. Then he said: "It's okay to pull the seeds, but forget about the seedlings. Don't damage the newly purchased plane." Guo Yang was just joking. He had to go to Minqin first.
“Have the location of the group headquarters been selected? I think the land application can be approved first, and the surrounding green environment can also be developed first.”
Xie Shijie thought for a while and said, "How about the Gobi Desert by the river?"
Guo Yang raised his eyebrows. There were canyons along the Tuolai River, mostly with cliffs.
"Is it suitable?"
"Would you like to go and have a look?"
"Let's go."
It didn't take long for the two of them to get to the Tuolai River, which was actually the Beida River. The upper reaches was called the Tuolai River.
It flows through Qilian County, Jiayuguan, Jiuquan Suzhou District, and finally flows into the downstream Jinta Yuanyangchi and other reservoirs.
The Taolai River Grand Canyon is naturally formed. It looks like it has been chopped with a knife and an axe. The sides of the canyon are vertically steep and the terrain is very dangerous.
In the canyon, melted snow water from the Qilian Mountains flows all year round.
On both sides of the canyon, the terrain is flat, the view is broad, and the momentum is magnificent.
Guo Yang stood by the Grand Canyon, his sleeves rustling in the strong wind, "This does not meet the conditions for building a headquarters at all."
Xie Shijie smiled, pointed in the distance and said: " The terrain here is high, so the headquarters should be located downstream, closer to Suzhou City.”
“An ecological park can be built here to complement the ecological projects of Jiayuguan’s two lakes and one river, and between the two cities. The ecological environment will be better."
"At the same time, it will be easier to apply for approval."
Jiayuguan has a lot of money, and the planning of the new urban areas on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is also very forward-looking, in terms of urban construction and ecology. In terms of transportation, Jiayuguan is obviously better.
According to Xie Shijie, there is no need for Jiahe to carry out repeated construction in Jiayuguan.
Xie Shijie said: "Being far away from Jiayuguan and building a green belt in the middle can also reduce the impact of Jiugang's exhaust emissions."
Guo Yang thinks about it too. Jiayuguan City is affected by Jiugang It was established, but Jiugang can only produce relatively low-end products, and the exhaust emissions are also very serious.
Sometimes in Suzhou city, you can see the thick smoke emitted from the chimneys from a distance.
Guo Yang said: “Let’s plant trees first, and the planning and management of the watershed must keep up.”
"We are already in contact with the city."
Guo Yang nodded. Whether the headquarters can be successfully constructed, the cultivated sea buckthorn and Hanhai kenaf are crucial.
Otherwise, there is no point in building a few houses in the lonely desert.
After communicating with Xie Shijie for a while about the Alfalfa No. 1 and forage matters, Guo Yang and Luo Xiu followed back to the city to take a rest and return to Minqin early tomorrow morning.
But just after arriving at the company, Ning Xiaojing trotted over and said, "Boss, Liu Xiang won the championship in the first step of the new year."
Hearing this, Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Have the media advertising kept up?"
Ning Xiaojing said: "The first press release may have to wait a while."
Guo Yang frowned. The reason why Liu Xiang delayed participating in the competition until May was because he was injured in a training session.
If Liu Xiang hadn’t said that Qilian Mountain organic milk was very useful, the injury would have been just an accident.
Guo Yang even wondered whether the staff of Hexi Dairy did not provide adequate service.
Now, he won the championship in the first span in 2006, which proves that Liu Xiang is in good condition and will break the world record soon.
However, the response speed of Hexi Dairy's brand management is still a bit slow.
"What is the score this time?"
"13 seconds 22."
Guo Yang nodded habitually, "The speed is very fast, but Hexi Dairy The brand promotion is too slow.”
Ning Xiaojing subconsciously said: "The competition has just ended not long ago."
Guo Yang looked at her coldly and said: "There must be a plan before the competition. Liu Xiang is likely to break the world record. If the opportunity suddenly comes "
Ning Xiaojing and Luo Xiu on the side were very surprised. They had great confidence in Liu Xiang, but whether he could break the world record may not even be predictable by Liu Xiang himself.
Guo Yang continued: "It is best to set up a task force in advance, convene advertising and creative companies, public relations companies, and the company's internal public relations department and product division to make some preparations in advance."
< br>“Every time Liu Xiang wins the championship, it is the best publicity opportunity, thus linking Liu Xiang’s championship to the quality of Hexi Dairy.”
Ning Xiaojing felt a little troubled, "Would it be too much of a waste of resources?"
Guo Yang thought for a while and said: "Hexi Dairy cannot use the existing model to judge, plan and make decisions."< br>
“We must stand at a higher level, dare to innovate, and dare to take risks. Hexi is a fast-moving consumer goods manufacturer and must emphasize winning with speed.”
Others are not sure, but Guo Yang is very sure Liu Xiang will break the record this year.
After returning to the office, Guo Yang called Ji Zhuowen while playing with the corn cobs that had been there for more than half a year.
The same words were emphasized again.
He couldn't remember which game Liu Xiang broke the record in, and there was also the variable of Qilian Mountain organic milk, otherwise he would have to cheer for it.
But now that it is more convenient to travel, you can pick up the airport in advance.
On the other hand, Ji Zhuowen also paid special attention to Guo Yang's instructions.
Hexi Dairy has now encountered its first bottleneck. Daily sales have been stable in the range of 15 to 20 million yuan.
There is still a gap between Yili and Mengniu in the first tier.
To narrow the gap, if the image spokesperson Liu Xiang can win consecutive championships or even break the world record, it will definitely enhance Hexi's reputation again and boost product sales.
Ji Zhuowen immediately convened partners and began to design media advertisements, public relations articles and terminal posters to ensure that if a surprise comes from the sky, Hexi Dairy can cover the whole country as soon as possible.
At the same time, Guo Yang also embarked on the road back to Minqin.
The plane flies over my hometown, and when I look through the porthole, everything seems so novel and interesting.
And when he saw the new shoots in the vast desert, he had another feeling.
