Chapter 249 Explosion of Natural Energy
Water source is a problem that requires long-term attention.
But Jiahe currently also has measures to deal with it. Water-saving technologies such as drought-tolerant crops, water-saving irrigation, and dry sowing and wet seeding can alleviate certain pressures.
After being busy for a while, when the sky was still clear, it was time for dinner.
Guo Yang put down the documents in his hands and came to the canteen. In the hot summer season, the canteen also prepared a lot of refreshing vegetables.
Mainly exquisite cold dishes.
They are bright in color and in different shapes, some are emerald green, some are as red as fire, and some are soft and sweet.
Guo Yang still tasted a little bit of each of Jiahe's products.
This is the most direct way to understand the quality of the company's products. Due to climate and geographical factors, plateau summer vegetables have a unique taste and rich nutrition.
Several Tianhe seeds are even more outstanding. They are not only delicious, but also rich in many vitamins and minerals. The light preparation seems to give you a hint of the coolness and sweetness of the plateau.
Undoubtedly a great addition to the summer table.
After dinner, I went back to the office, did some work for a while, and looked at the group messages.
Recent changes in agriculture and animal husbandry in Asafoetida Gobi and Shahai have also been quite dramatic.
Shrubs and pastures are intertwined in the Asafoetida Gobi, forming a green ocean, and the neat turf spreads out like a green carpet.
In the vast expanse of desert, newly grown grasses are also tenaciously poking their heads out, like stars falling on the golden desert.
The evening breeze blew in through the window.
Guo Yang looked up and saw that the sun was setting in the west. It must have become cooler outside, and he suddenly wanted to go to the Gobi.
Guo Yang walked out of the office. Ning Xiaojing's workstation was right outside the door of his office. She was still staring at the computer with a cup of Hanhai Kenma tea beside her.
Guo Yang said softly: "You haven't gotten off work yet?"
Ning Xiaojing raised her head and glanced, her white fingers still holding the mouse, and said: "There is still some information to read. ”
Guo Yang took a closer look and saw a summary of the progress of Jiahe Grain and Oil's investment projects in various places.
A month has passed since Jiahe began to lay out the grain and oil industry.
However, in addition to the three oil and fat factories acquired by Guangdong, Fujian and Liao provinces that have entered the handover stage, two large factories in Suzhou and Heilongjiang are still under emergency design.
There are also Xinjiang Province, Sichuan Province, and Central China...
The time is a bit tight, the time for personnel transfer is very short, and a lot of funds are also specially approved by Guo Yang, resulting in the entire affairs running slightly It's a bit messy.
Guo Yang also left most of the affairs to Ning Xiaojing, so she was definitely busy.
Poaching people is also imminent.
Guo Yang said: "Then you are busy first. Luo Xiu and I will go to the Gobi to have a look. The sunset is not bad right now."
Ning Xiaojing bit her red lips lightly, He seemed to be struggling and said, "Boss, why don't you just wait for me for a while? I also want to see the sunset."
"How long?"
"A few minutes."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the car outside."
Guo Yang then went to find Luo Xiu and communicated about the itinerary for the next few days. Ning Xiaojing was too busy, so bodyguard Luo Xiu took over this part of the job.
Recently, his personal service team has been basically completed, and Luo Xiu is also in charge.
Guo Yang, Xie Shijie, and Luo Xiu stood in front of the car, chatting and waiting.
Guo Yang looked at Xie Shijie and said, "After get off work, why don't you go back to be with your wife first? The baby is about to be born, so it won't be a problem for you to work overtime every day."
Xie Shijie was in November last year. It's almost time to get married. Calculating the time, it should be almost done.
Xie Shijie smiled and said: "My parents are taking care of me at home, and they also know that Jiahe is a critical time recently, so they are very supportive of me in my career."
"If I have time, I still need more time. Spend time with your family.”
“Boss, you should think about it yourself.”
At this moment, Ning Xiaojing slowly walked out of the office building door, looking capable and elegant in professional attire.
Those slender and straight legs are like carefully carved works of art, and the skin is fair and delicate, like carefully polished porcelain.
It looks professional yet feminine, contrasting with the afterglow of the setting sun.
Attracted the attention of three men.
Xie Shijie smiled and said, "Secretary Ning is pretty good, right?"
Guo Yang did not hide his admiration at all, and said: "The rabbit is still not eating the grass beside the nest. There is no possibility for me and her."
Being stared at by three grown men, the corner of Ning Xiaojing's mouth He also showed a faint smile and walked over.
Guo Yang suddenly remembered the German girl, her figure and appearance were a bit blurry.
At the same time, I also think of the old French man Fran and the German farmer Victor. Maybe we can find a suitable person in charge of the European region through them.
You can even establish cooperation with them.
Keep this in mind silently.
Several people got on the car one after another. It was already sunset as the car drove up the Gobi Highway from Jiuquan to Jiayuguan.
Standing on the vast desert Gobi, the sun half-set in the clouds is big and round, emitting yellow light, very beautiful.
Even though the scene of the sun setting over the long river has been watched countless times, no one feels tired of it.
But Guo Yang had something on his mind and quickly asked Luo Xiu to drive into the project area while it was still dark.
Viewed from a distance, rows of seabuckthorn trees and kenaf stand neatly, forming a sharp contrast with the Gobi environment.
Walking into the dwarf seabuckthorn forest, each seabuckthorn tree here is carefully cared for, and the crown shape is uniform.
Because it rained two days ago, the temperature was high during the day. As soon as the temperature dropped, crystal dew appeared on the branches and leaves.
Seeing the barren Gobi desert glowing with vitality, Guo Yang sighed: "We succeeded!"
Ning Xiaojing could no longer hold back, her steps were light and elegant. Walking on the operating path of the seabuckthorn forest, it seems that you are not in a hurry to move forward, but enjoying the tranquility and beauty.
It would be better if I wore a long skirt.
The sea buckthorn tree is also a little short.
Xie Shijie said with a smile: "This is thanks to the team at Agricultural University. Professor Ma Rui's team has been doing technical surveys here for a long time in the past year."
"Every point A detailed analysis of the Gobi type, soil conditions, and technical planting plans was made.”
“Without their proposed methods of mechanically opening wide and narrow trenches and drip irrigation to moisten the soil before digging holes, the progress would be slow. Maybe so fast!”
"They have also recently been cultivating grape rootstocks suitable for growing in the Gobi."
Guo Yang nodded, having cooperated with the Agricultural University team so many times, they have established enough trust in each other.
But Guo Yang believes that Jiahe’s shock to Agricultural University is much higher.
He could remember that Professor Ma Rui's team, who was responsible for the planning and design, were not optimistic about the development of the Gobi Desert.
Now here, the world has changed.
Later, Guo Yang went to see the sea buckthorn seedlings grown in the greenhouse last year.
Except for Jiuquan, which used about 10,000 acres, the rest were transported to the Asafoetida Gobi.
Sea buckthorn seedlings are resistant to transportation. As long as the main trunk and rhizome are retained, they can sprout again after being planted.
The current batch of seedlings being cultivated are no longer live-seeded, but are grown by cuttings. They can be planted on a large scale in the Gobi next spring.
With the first batch of about 10,000 acres of trial planting, there are basically no technical obstacles.
The same is true for Hanhai kenaf.
……
At the same time.
Zhangye.
Two young figures walked on the mud and stone road, with traces of field work still remaining on their faces, but their eyes shone with longing and expectation for the future.
They are Agricultural University graduates who have officially joined the workforce.
Wang Qiang took off the straw hat on his head, revealing his face that was tanned and rosy by the sun.
Wang Qiang wiped the sweat from his head and sighed: "Ah, I am really exhausted."
The other person also twisted his waist, "There is no way, income and Yield is linked, now is the critical period for tasseling and pollination, so don’t pay close attention.”
“Yes, although it’s a bit tiring, seeing the corn growing so well, it’s all worth it.”
Behind them, there is a continuous corn field. The corn plants in the field are strong and the leaves are swaying gently in the wind, as if saying goodbye to them.
…
Dongying, coastal saline-alkali land.
In this challenging land, soybeans paint a vibrant picture with their tenacious vitality.
Looking up, the green leaves of soybeans are shining with the brilliance of life under the moonlight and stars.
The bean sprouts hold their heads high, their leaves are full and thick, and they are full of green.
In the once barren land, soybeans present a different kind of beauty.
On the other side, the broader alfalfa roots penetrate deeply into the soil, and small purple flowers dot the saline-alkali land, explaining the tenacity of life.
…
Jiuquan.
On the way back.
Whether it is the sunset in Jiuquan or the starry sky in Jiuquan, it is always so beautiful, so clean, so conspicuous, and so thorough.
In such an environment, occasionally put down your baggage, computers and mobile phones.
Waiting for a good weather, driving a car, taking my wife and children, find a quiet Gobi Desert, chat, and watch such a sunset.
It is not a kind of relaxation for their respective lives.
In the evening, after returning to the villa.
After Guo Yang did a simple exercise and washed up, he made himself a cup of kenaf tea.
Kennedy tea does not contain theophylline and caffeine. It is an herbaceous plant. After testing, it was found that it contains a high content of hyperin.
After high-intensity work and mental stress during the day, drink one drink after three meals a day.
It can not only relieve greasy food, reduce blood viscosity, and excrete excess fat and waste from the body, it can also calm the mind and help sleep.
Nowadays, kenaf tea has become popular within Jiahe.
After sipping tea and reading for a while to relax his nerves, Guo Yang lay on the bed.
Scenes emerged and he opened the seed store involuntarily.
The natural energy stayed at 3256 points.
The sleepiness disappeared instantly.
Inexplicably, he became excited again.
Why are there so many?
Too many!
The last breeding was in mid-April, and it has only been 3 months now.
One thousand points every month!
Guo Yang suddenly felt at a loss and took a few deep breaths before he recovered.
Thinking about it, according to the rules he summarized, if 1,000 acres of wasteland is improved, 1 point of natural energy can be obtained in the early stage, and about 5 points can be obtained after long-term improvement.
Asafetida Gobi has 2 million acres,
Shahai has 1 million acres of agriculture and animal husbandry,
Wuyuan has more than 200,000 acres,
Binhai soybean base.
Seed production base in Hainan...
Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is nothing to make a fuss about. Calm down, stay calm.
But he couldn't calm down.
Wondering over and over how to utilize these natural energies?
So far, a total of 1826 points of natural energy have been consumed.
For red grade seeds with 500~1000 points, you need to spend 5000 points to unlock the purchase permission.
For higher-level orange seeds, you need to spend 10,000 points to unlock the purchase permission.
It means that as long as these more than 3,000 points of natural energy are consumed, the red level seed permission can be unlocked.
Alfalfa No. 1 is a red grade seed.
Guo Yang's thoughts were surging, with 3256 points. Even if the total 499 points were counted, that was still 6 new varieties. In fact, purple grade seeds with more than 100 points are enough for current needs, which is more than thirty varieties.
What to cultivate and how to cultivate need to be comprehensively considered and compared.
After a long time, I slowly fell asleep.
……
As night falls, Hong Kong’s agricultural markets are bustling with activity.
After the new batch of plateau summer vegetables passed customs clearance, it was quickly transported to major agricultural markets and distribution centers.
As soon as we entered the venue, before sorting and packaging, a group of people gathered around us.
The eyes of these people are focused on plateau summer vegetables, including cabbage, baby cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, radish...
After pre-cooling, the leaves of plateau summer vegetables are still green, and every day Each one maintains optimal freshness and taste.
On this brightly lit night, the Hong Kong agricultural market comes alive with plateau summer vegetables.
People’s enthusiasm was ignited by these fresh vegetables, creating a lively shopping scene.
……
Early the next morning.
Guo Yang got up early as usual, and then did some simple exercises and washed up in the villa's own gym.
Then he went to the company with great ambition and ate a bowl of noodles made from Jiahe flour in the cafeteria.
After returning to the office, I made myself a cup of kenaf tea. After everything was ready, I sat on the office chair.
After thinking for a while,
Guo Yang first called Yu Xiaochuan and Yu Honghai, and made an appointment to return to the headquarters to discuss how to go to sea.
Afterwards, Guo Yang rummaged for a while and found a mailbox he had saved a few years ago.
My mind goes back to the few days I spent on a European farm in 2002.
I wonder what Fran and Victor’s farm is like now after so many years.
After thinking for a while, I started editing the email.
First he apologized,
Guo Yang didn’t have an email at the time and kept it for someone else. After so many years, he never took the initiative to contact me.
It’s a bit unreasonable no matter what.
Then he mentioned the request this time and needed to recruit a manager who is familiar with the European agricultural market.
Finally, he invited the other party to visit China.
An email is written quickly.
In the afternoon, he will set off to the capital to recruit people. Guo Yang wants to study breeding for a while at this time in the morning.
The first thing that comes to mind is high-yielding soybeans.
Once Jiahe Grain and Oil Factory starts operating at full capacity, the daily loss of 18 million yuan will be a hanging sword.
According to the estimated domestic potential demand, 600 million acres of soybeans must be planted.
Even though Tiandou No. 1 has a high yield, after the release of Monsanto’s Roundup 2 genetically modified soybeans, Tiandou No. 1 no longer has a clear advantage in yield.
Coastal saline-alkali land is certainly not enough.
The potential of soybeans in the northwest is very high, but as a double crop of cotton and corn, the yield of soybeans in Xinjiang Province is 300 kilograms per mu, and the profit per mu is only 400 to 500 yuan.
The yield of Tiandou No. 1 is 480 kilograms per mu, and the profit is only five to six hundred yuan at most, which is equivalent to ordinary wheat.
But wheat rotation has simple field management, uses less water, and can also improve soil fertility.
The advantage of Tiandou No. 1 is its resistance to salt and alkali.
Generally speaking, they are evenly matched, but it is a long process to change farmers’ planting habits.
Jiahe Grain and Oil cannot wait that long.
While Guo Yang was lost in thought, Bi Qiang, wearing short sleeves, strode in holding documents.
“Boss, Tianhe Academy of Sciences has several new varieties that are ready to apply for provincial approval.”
Guo Yang said in surprise: “So fast?”
Bi Qiang He smiled and said: "It's just some varieties with some local characteristics."
"That's pretty good."
Guo Yang took the information documents and looked at them. A total of 4 varieties were ready to apply for approval.
Among them, 1 soybean variety was applied for by Jiaxiang Base in Shandong Province, and the other 3 are all varieties applied for by the germplasm resource bank: 1 soybean, 1 corn, and 1 rapeseed.
Not many excellent varieties, but there are some regional quality characteristics.
Promotion can only be carried out on a small scale.
But in any case, this is a breakthrough from zero to one, which shows that Tianhe’s breeding has also had positive feedback in a few years.
Furthermore, as the climate and environment change, regional varieties may be able to be expanded in scale in the future.
Guo Yang looked at it for a while and said: "Okay, we have achieved results in such a short time."
Bi Qiang smiled and said: "Actually, the company is willing to invest and accumulate There are many germplasm resources, and there are also excellent varieties such as Tiandou No. 1 and Tianyu No. 1 as female parents. No matter what, we have to get a few varieties."
After a pause, Bi Qiang said again. : "The rapeseed varieties were cultivated by experimenters through chemical mutagenesis. A lot of them were produced and their traits were greatly changed. After trial planting, only this one variety was pretty good."
Hearing this, Guo Yang looked at it carefully again.
Tolerant to salt and alkali, resistant to lodging and density, suitable for machine harvesting, cold-resistant... Judging from the characteristics, it is also suitable for the northwest, and can also be used as a repeat crop.
It is also a very good supplement to Jiahe’s current grain and oil layout. In the future, it will be soybean oil, corn oil, rapeseed oil...
After thinking for a while, Guo Yang suddenly had a new idea, "Follow-up Contact the space agency. Space breeding is also a good way.”
“You can also try more mutation breeding.”
Mutation breeding is a highly random breeding method with fast breeding speed and wide range of variation. Sometimes the improvement effect will be extremely poor.
But Guo Yang’s purpose is to speed up the breeding of Tianhe, and to mix it with excellent varieties from seed stores in the future.
It will attract less attention from the outside world.
Bi Qiang also readily agreed.
After a brief communication with Bi Qiang, the news that Guo Yang was going on a business trip in the afternoon had already spread in the office.
People who needed work came over one after another, and Guo Yang no longer had any time to study seeds.
After lunch at noon.
He went straight to the capital again.
After landing, first go to Weiguang Company.
In Yang Cheng's office, the paintings on the wall have changed from the management of Jinta Grassland to the Haloxylon ammodendron trees of Shahai Farming and Animal Husbandry.
The patterns of offices and conference rooms have also been adjusted to display the results of Jiahe's environmental management in keeping with the times.
Some of Jiahe’s products have also appeared in Weiguang Company.
For example, the potted plants placed in the office, green peppers, green grass, and corn cobs hanging in the corners.
Every decoration indicates that behind this financial investment company is an agricultural and animal husbandry group.
Guo Yang seemed to be able to feel Yang Cheng's desire for survival. He had mentioned moving Shimmer from the capital to the northwest before.
It seems like this is pretty good.
Guo Yang was sitting on the sofa, stroking the soft grass in the potted plant beside him.
Yang Cheng on the side said: "The employees of Shimmer are also very interested in the farm, and they usually make these gadgets."
"Not bad."
< br>There seems to be a group of people in the city who yearn for a pastoral life.
Guo Yang smiled and said: "Would you like to set up a farm in Shiguang?"
Yang Cheng was a little surprised, "That's fine, but it's too far from the suburbs."
Guo Yang casually said Said: "What's so rare about this? Find a rooftop in a nearby shopping mall, rent it, and invest in an urban rooftop farm. It doesn't cost much."
Yang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he was obviously excited. "Maybe we can still sell it for some money."
Guo Yang shook his head speechlessly. He really regarded himself as a farmer and said:
"There is no need to sell, just treat it as a welfare for employees and customers, create some planting experience, build some pavilions, long tables, etc., to provide a space for getting close to nature and relaxing."
The more Yang Cheng thought about it, the more excited he became. , with a family, a wife and children, he would definitely not want to move to the northwest.
Many people in Shimmer have this mentality.
Urban farms should not only be built, but also made beautiful.
Urban rooftop gardens and urban rooftop farms are not profitable, but they can attract attention. Let’s engage in brand promotion!
The more anchors there are, the more likely Shimmer is to stay in the capital.
After Guo Yang rested for a while, he made an appointment with the potential candidate in the evening. He still had time, so he simply learned about the progress of Weiguang's work.
The overall operation of Huinong.com is no longer a problem.
However, the flower seeds that are popular in cities and suburbs have not yet been harvested, and logistics still need to be improved, but they should be online in September.
Just in time for autumn sowing time.
In addition, the stock layout has basically been completed, and positions such as Microsoft and Amazon have been transferred to Apple, worth approximately 650 million yuan.
Domestically, in addition to Hong Kong-listed Tencent stocks, the 400 million loan obtained from mortgaged real estate has also completed its layout in A-shares.
Guo Yang looked at his positions for a while.
Overall, it still meets his needs.
But thinking about the bunch of shops that are still being leased, should a fresh food supermarket be opened?
Vegetables are not a problem. Tianhe not only has seeds, but also has long-term cooperation with many vegetable bases.
The bad thing is fruits and meat. You can find beef and mutton for meat, but there is no fruit at all, so you have to purchase them all.
Purchasing is definitely a must,
But I almost didn’t expect it. Jiahe’s fresh food supermarket must widen the product gap between ordinary supermarkets and farmers’ markets and take a high-end route.
Avoid competing with the people for profit while gaining higher industrial profits.
Therefore, representative high-quality fruits must be available.
Of course, Guo Yang set his sights on a seed store, and cultivating fruit and livestock varieties became an alternative this time.
However, fresh food supermarkets can also try to run one or two supermarkets first to reserve talents and experience.
……
The appointment time is half past six.
A little after six o'clock, Guo Yang successfully met the target of this poaching: Gaode.
"Hello, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Mr. Guo, hello."
Guo Yang shook hands with him gently, and then looked at him.
Gaode is tall and straight, with a resolute face and clear lines. His hair is slightly white, but this makes him look more mature and steady.
And his early arrival also shows that he attaches great importance to this communication opportunity.
Gaode graduated from Peking University with a bachelor's degree in investment economics, and later received a master's degree in business administration.
He joined Guofang Group in 1993 and has held many important positions. He has profound professional knowledge and rich management experience in the field of grain and oil.
Guo Yang also values this.
I have met a few people before, but most of my strengths are business insight and strategic planning capabilities.
But what Jiahe Cereals and Oils lacks more is management talents. Those who can straighten out the current industrial chain such as planting bases, factory construction, and mergers and acquisitions will meet Guo Yang's requirements.
Moreover, Gaode also has experience in transnational work in Guofang, is proficient in multiple languages, and has cross-cultural communication skills.
After communicating for a while, Guo Yang knew that Gaode fully met his selection criteria.
And Gaode also intends to come to Jiahe.
Guo Yang asked curiously: "Why is Mr. Gao thinking of leaving COFCO?"
Gaode always smiles when talking to people, "First, internal competition failed."
"In addition, I also want to meet new challenges in the grain and oil industry with Jiahe."
