Chapter 262 Sanctions
With thoughts about flower seeds, Guo Yang returned to the office, sat on the chair and took a short rest.
Then the afternoon work began again.
Tiandao 22 is a conventional rice species, with outstanding quality as its selling point, and the price is not cheap.
Even Tianhe did not promote it at all. It only found a few paddy fields with good water quality and good soil quality at the Hainan base for planting to produce high-quality rice.
Because conventional rice seeds can be grown by oneself, you won’t get much benefit even if you try hard to promote them.
So we can only grow and process high-quality rice on a small scale first, or it can be positioned as employee welfare.
Thinking about the taste of rice with a light fragrance, Guo Yang was still a little lingering for a while.
Make a cup of tea first to calm down the shock.
Looking at only a few small bags of tea bags left, Guo Yang felt a little regretful. There were quite a lot of them, but Yu Honghai and Yu Xiaochuan each took a big bag away.
The ones on the table now were given to him by Ning Xiaojing.
There aren’t many anymore.
And what about the others.
I have been wailing in the group for a long time, asking people everywhere for some tea bags.
This kenaf tea, although the taste is a little amazing when you first drink it, it is not addictive.
But as time goes by, the benefits of kenaf tea become more and more obvious, especially for professionals who need to maintain high-intensity work for a long time.
Coffee can be refreshing and keep people focused, but it is harmful to the body.
Kanema tea is different. It helps you rest well, regulate your body, and give you the energy to work and study hard.
Wake up every morning full and refreshed is what makes people addicted.
It is indeed a plant that took 268 points of natural energy to cultivate.
But Guo Yang remembered that there is another characteristic of seeds: they are extremely attractive to bees.
He thought for a while, and then opened the chat group. No one was chatting at this time, but a lot of news had been accumulated.
Guo Yang didn't go to see it either, but in the group @xieshijie, "We can try to get some bee boxes next year."
It might be working time, it took a while before anyone was there Showing up in the group.
“When Hanhai kenaf bloomed last year, it did attract a lot of bees. I think something is wrong.”
"This kenaf is really a treasure. Not only can it be used for making tea for health care, but it can also have honey."
"I'm so jealous of hemp."
"How come Mr. Xie's place is full of good things?" ."
Xie Shijie: "Okay, boss. The bee industry can also be used as part of the development of the Gobi industry to achieve profitability as soon as possible."
Guo Yang: "Let's start with this group of people. Let’s talk after you’re full.”
"Hahaha..."
"The boss is wise! Mighty!"
Xie Shijie: "Enough management next year!"
Guo Yang followed the news in the irrigation group , the recent contents are all about sharing food photos.
For example, Ning Xiaojing sent out the potato feast and rice in the cafeteria today, as well as various other delicacies.
Many employees will also post some exquisite photos in QQ space, which arouses the envy of many people.
Maybe it’s because he is in the group, and further up, there are some interesting things about projects in various places.
For example, falcon riding on the grassland. After several years of management, the degraded desert grassland of Urad has improved a lot.
The densely spread scaffolding and artificially tamed and released foxes have allowed the rodent pests to be reasonably controlled.
It seems that I haven’t been to the grassland for two years.
It snowed heavily in Altay, and all kinds of pastures in the Asafoetida Gobi were covered with snow. However, the thicker the snow, the safer the pastures would be during the winter.
On the contrary, the nomadic Kazakh herdsmen in the mountains may have a difficult time this year.
Ice has formed on the surface of Xiangyang Lake.
Hainan’s winter agriculture is as hot as the local weather.
Guo Yang was thinking that before the Chinese New Year, the group would do a big team building.
Employees from the north go to the south for vacation, employees from the south come to the north to see the snow, and employees from big coastal cities can also go to the northwest.
Guo Yang doesn’t really want to go to the south, but is rather interested in going ice fishing in Xiangyang Lake.
The news about the irrigation group only made noise every few days. It didn’t take long for Guo Yang to see the activities of Yu Honghai and Yu Xiaochuan.
Both of them teased each other.
After Yu Xiaochuan arrived in the Middle East, he first went to the capital of Syria: Damascus.
One of the oldest ancient cities in the world,
From the ancient Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Arab Empire... to the Ottoman Empire, Damascus has always been known as the city in heaven.
Here is close to the most fertile land, and the Damascus rose is famous all over the world.
An ancient Arabic book once wrote: "If there is a paradise on earth, Damascus must be among it."
This year, a Chinese trade city was built in Damascus, housing more than 100 Chinese companies. .
Yu Xiaochuan wanted to see if there were any trade opportunities.
However, in the Middle East, in addition to the vast desert, rich oil, and splendid culture, there is ruthless revenge, constant confrontation, and constant explosions...
Damascus is also No exceptions.
Yu Xiaochuan happened to encounter a turmoil, but luckily he got away in time.
Several veterans maintained contact with each other. Yu Honghai in Africa learned about Yu Xiaochuan's embarrassment.
Occasionally made a few jokes.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Yu Xiaochuan would also tease him about being stripped naked in Africa.
Now, the whole company knows.
On the contrary, because Guo Yang didn't pay much attention, he thought he was the only one in the country who knew about this matter. Unexpectedly, it had already spread.
After thinking for a while, Syria would not be peaceful in the next few years, and Guo Yang was ready to contact Yu Xiaochuan.
About half an hour later, the two talked on the phone.
Guo Yang said: "Don't stay in Syria, go to the Arabian Peninsula. It's safer there and the market is bigger."
"I ran away a long time ago. I'm in Ouna now. Damn it, oh, this is north of the Saudi capital, about 270 kilometers away from Riyadh."
Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Onai Zai doesn’t know where he is.
But as long as you are in Saudi Arabia, it is basically the most stable place in the Middle East.
“That’s good.”
Yu Xiaochuan said: “I have already connected with the Arab Agricultural Services Company, and Saudi Arabia is planning agricultural reforms.”
“Give up domestic The cultivation of water-consuming crops such as grain and alfalfa will all be replaced by imports or the development of overseas bases. Only drought-resistant and facility agriculture will be developed domestically."
"I plan to place the Middle East branch in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. trade in goods and then invest in facility farms in Saudi Arabia to grow vegetables and fruits.”
Saudi Arabia launched a wheat self-sufficiency plan in the late 1970s, using the huge revenue from oil to support agriculture.
Over the past 30 years, Saudi Arabia has transformed from a country with almost no agriculture to a major exporter of agricultural products and an important food exporter in the Middle East.
We are more than self-sufficient in wheat, fresh milk, and eggs, and our fruit self-sufficiency rate reaches 60%.
Agricultural output value is second only to the oil industry.
However, the price is further depletion of non-renewable groundwater resources, and the problem of seawater intrusion in coastal areas is very serious.
Based on this, Saudi Arabia’s agriculture may undergo a major turn.
Undoubtedly, Yu Xiaochuan discovered this opportunity. Alfalfa, fruits and vegetables, drought-tolerant seeds, agricultural machinery... these are all Jiahe's businesses.
Saudi Arabia is a big dog!
Huaxia is also its largest trading customer.
Whether Jiahe directly exports forage, agricultural machinery and other products to it, or invests locally, Jiahe has the opportunity to earn huge returns.
It can also radiate to other rich Gulf countries.
Guo Yang even thought of drones...
Without too much hesitation, Guo Yang said: " In Saudi Arabia, just go ahead and do it, and the company will provide the necessary support.”
“First open up trade channels for various countries.”
Investment in Africa, Guo Yang. Yu Honghai provided project development direction.
But for agriculture in the Middle East, apart from exporting products to it, Guo Yang really doesn't know what he can invest in.
Fortunately, let Yu Xiaochuan do it himself.
Yu Xiaochuan also responded seriously: "Okay, when the branch is established, I will go to other Middle Eastern countries to inspect."
"Pay attention to safety, and communicate more with Gaode Next, let Jiahe Grain and Oil send people to support you.”
“Okay”
Hang up the phone with Yu Xiaochuan.
Guo Yang thought about the development of the Middle East in the next ten years. It is still a war-torn place and filled with smoke.
Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan...
Damascus was also severely damaged during the war, and the roses withered. Guo Yang suddenly thought of the bitter roses in Gansu...
The Middle East is rich in oil resources, but its geographical environment is not suitable for the development of agriculture. Coupled with war, it has led to long-term dependence on imported food.
Basically every time there is a food crisis, this place suffers.
The food crisis in 2008 will also sweep across the Middle East again, with Africa and Southeast Asia also being severely affected.
At this critical juncture, Jiahe has been stocking up on grain and has entered the Middle East and Africa 1 to 2 years in advance.
When the food crisis comes, Jiahe, which has grain in hand, will soon be able to expand its business in the Middle East and Africa.
However, Jiahe has just been established and has not yet obtained an export license. Grain exports are also under a quota system.
But there's still time, it's definitely not too late.
Next year is the most critical year.
Guo Yang took a look at the high-yield grain seeds in Jiahe’s hands: Tianyu No. 1, Tiandou No. 1, and Tianshu 21.
And it was only cultivated in April this year,
Wheat varieties: perfect students,
Sea rice: Tianjingyan No. 1,
Silage corn variety: Tianyu No. 8.
Domestic grain production has increased for three consecutive years, and next year will be no exception.
Especially Tianyu No. 1, based on the current seed production area of 500,000 acres, the output is at least 500,000 tons.
If all are sold to farmers, the planting area of Tianyu No. 1 will reach a terrifying 280 million acres.
Accounting for 60-70% of the domestic corn area!
Guo Yang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
This year’s domestic corn production increased by 176 million tons compared with the expected 144 million tons. Next year, the Tianyu planting area will expand by 220 million acres, and the production will increase by another 70 million tons!
Achieved 246 million tons! Due to the good benefits of growing corn, the domestic corn planting area may also increase.
In 2006, the world's corn production was 688.7 million tons,
of which the United States produced 272.9 million tons. Originally, the United States' corn exports accounted for 70% of global exports.
In the past two years, Laos and the United States have vigorously promoted biofuels, and the export volume of corn has decreased rapidly. Coupled with some other factors, international grain prices have been rising.
The substantial increase in corn production in China must have aroused the alarm of international grain merchants.
However, the general trend has taken shape. Even if we know that the international grain trade can only take some defensive measures.
However, China will not only increase corn production in the next two years. The coastal saline-alkali land will increase by more than 10 million acres of cultivated land this year. The increase will only be faster in the next two years.
The yield of Tiandou No. 1 of 480 kilograms per mu has also led to an increase in the average yield of domestic soybeans, and there are sufficient seeds for seed production.
There are also all-optimum wheat, as well as sea rice and Tianyu No. 8, which can drive the growth of grain production.
Even alfalfa production is growing...
So, no matter how fast the domestic economy develops, it will not be as fast as the increase in grain production.
With so much grain, the country will definitely relax restrictions on exporting grain.
There are so many changes.
It is difficult for Guo Yang to deduce in detail. He only knows that this time the country has more say.
The top leaders of the country may have realized something, and even reduced corn subsidies in order to adjust the corn planting area.
The National Grain Reserve is also consciously purchasing and storing grain.
But the subprime mortgage crisis, the financial crisis, the food crisis... no one should understand this era better than him.
There will also be the Olympic Games in 2008...and two major natural disasters, which will involve the energy of the upper management.
Guo Yang felt a little more melancholy for no reason.
Earthquake and snow disaster...
Guo Yang will not take risks, but Jiahe will definitely do his best.
After coming back to his senses, Guo Yang contacted Gaode and reconfirmed the progress of the work. Everything was in progress.
It was not convenient to reveal more details to Gaode on the phone, but Guo Yang wanted to talk to someone again.
After thinking about it, Qu Yang was suitable.
Yan Qun is busy with the seed production of the factory, while Qu Yang has been busy holding dealer meetings recently.
After three o'clock in the afternoon.
Guo Yang came to the largest hotel in the local area. At first glance, he saw that it was densely packed with people. There were nearly a thousand people sitting in the auditorium.
Tianhe booked the hotel and invited cooperation from all over the country. Partners went to Jiuquan to hold a conference, which will last for three days.
On the stage, Qu Yang was talking.
“Tianhe will always choose those terminal dealers that are influential in the region, have sales volume, good reputation, and are relied upon by the masses as their partners.”
“We will treat all dealers as Treat each other with sincerity and treat everyone equally...Don’t change your orders day by day. ”
"Tianhe currently has many marketing methods, including direct sales, distribution, Denong Agricultural Materials Supermarket, and Huinong.com, which is still incubating..."
"But you are still the most important part. , Agricultural Supplies Supermarket and Huinong.com will be opened to you first."
"Some people are worried that Tianhe will steal their jobs..."
...
Guo Yang is also inconspicuous behind. I found a seat in the corner and sat down.
The seed dealers listened very attentively.
Especially the part involving Denong Agricultural Supplies Supermarket and Huinong.com, this is also the biggest point of disagreement between Tianhe and the dealers.
But in fact, they can coexist.
It is impossible for Tianhe to give up its dealers. Without these seed merchants, the difficulty of Tianhe Strike deck will rise to hell level again.
Collusion between agricultural supply stores and law enforcement officers, secret connections with music dealers... and other phenomena will be difficult to suppress.
Only by tightly tying stakeholders with interests and having many friends can you firmly occupy the seed sales market.
For a seed shop or company to remain invincible for a long time, it must have several well-known brands as partners.
Tianhe is undoubtedly the leader in China. The seeds are good and can bring good harvests to farmers, so farmers are after them.
Even if all seed dealers in a certain place do not sell Tianhe seeds, farmers can still solve the problem through mail order, online shopping, etc.
Therefore, seed merchants will not give up. It is best to obtain an exclusive agent in a certain area.
Win-win cooperation.
Only a trickle of water can turn into a big river.
…
The meeting lasted all afternoon.
After half of listening, Guo Yang felt that next year’s seed sales would not be a problem.
The profit is high enough, and the entire chain has very flexible operating space.
Therefore, Guo Yang sent a message to Qu Yang and went back to the car to read work news and wait.
Jinta’s 500,000 acres of saline-alkali land is coming to an end, and Donghe Agricultural Machinery’s large forces are already moving to Xinjiang Province.
Zepu’s base outsourcing team has also been sorted out, and Cai Bin can directly dig in with someone there.
It’s no problem to finish it before it snows.
Four new varieties applied by Tianhe Academy of Sciences have passed the preliminary review. In addition, a batch of seven more varieties have entered the approval process.
Experimental research on biological breeding has also made great progress. With the help of Jiahe’s superior germplasm genes, a batch of results will be produced every year in the future.
It’s still very satisfying.
Bi Qiang is really serious about breeding.
At this time, Yang Cheng sent a message to Guo Yang.
"Boss, Tencent's dividend income has arrived, amounting to 13 million yuan. The stock price has been fluctuating recently. Do you want to reduce your holdings a little more?"
Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, sell? Sell a ball! His fingers hit the keyboard quickly: "If you don't sell, use the dividend money to continue buying!"
On the other side,
Yang Cheng was stunned!
“Still buying it?”
Now everyone knows that Weiguang Company is a dead bull of Tencent.
I have been buying since the beginning of the year and now hold 8.1% of the shares. Four announcements have been made within a year.
It can be said that it has earned enough attention.
During this period, the stock price also fluctuated and increased. In June, it reached a maximum of 18 Hong Kong dollars. Now it has fallen a bit, but it still made enough profits.
In addition to the increase in stock price, the total dividend income in the two years also amounted to more than 20 million yuan.
However, the market is still not optimistic about Tencent, and even Xiaoma can't understand Tencent's profit model now.
Last year, it reduced its holdings at a price of 6 yuan.
Even the founder is like this, let alone others.
For investors in the market, certainty is the only way to be confident, and Tencent obviously does not have that now.
That’s why Yang Chengcai thought of reducing his position.
Guo Yang said unswervingly: "Buy!"
The mobile Internet era is coming soon. Although the financial crisis also has an impact on Tencent, it is also an opportunity to increase its holdings.
Tencent’s real takeoff will have to wait until the release of WeChat, which helps it build a moat.
But it has also been rising during this period.
Yang Cheng: "Okay, received."
Guo Yang asked by the way, "Where is the fresh food supermarket? And you said you were going to build an urban farm, but you haven't seen anything."
"The fresh food supermarket is still being renovated, and it is planned to open on New Year's Day, and the urban farm is also It's been built, but the temperature is too low in winter and it's bare..."
Guo Yang: "Send some photos."
"Okay, send them right away. I've been busy collecting rent and watching. Looking at the stock, I kind of forgot about it.”
Guo Yang didn’t reply.
He could feel that Yang Cheng was already a bit of a pensioner.
I have a happy family, an easy job, and good pay, but I have little autonomy in the company.
Only the urban farm was built by Yang Chengzi, but it happened to be winter.
There seems to be really nothing to grow on the open-air urban rooftop farms in Beijing.
Waiting in the car for a while.
Before five o'clock, Qu Yang appeared at the elevator entrance of the parking lot, still exuding the temperament he had during his speech, which was a bit reckless.
Luo Xiu waved, "This way, Mr. Qu."
Qu Yang touched his increasingly bright forehead and walked over.
Guo Yang smiled and said, "You might as well shave your head bald."
Qu Yang also smiled, his voice slightly hoarse, "Don't tell me, I really have this idea. ”
Guo Yang said: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"Fortunately, what's wrong with the boss? Do you want to go have a meal with the dealer later?"
Guo Yangyao He shook his head, he didn't want to drink.
“The main thing is that I want to find someone to talk to about the international food situation. Since Gao De is not here, I came to you.”
“Well, I’m not professional in this area, so I can only listen. ”
"It's okay. Just help me check for the leaks and fill them up. Just don't leak it out."
"No problem." Qu Yang smiled. It seemed that the matter was quite important.
When he really spent half an hour listening to Guo Yang's personal predictions, he was stunned.
Financial crisis, food crisis, grain hoarding, futures, none of them are small.
The boss’s ambition is really big, but he is also big enough!
This is a big deal!
But is gambling too serious?
Food prices are indeed rising.
It is just a prediction of a financial crisis and a food crisis. There is too much uncertainty!
Qu Yang was silent for a long time. The boss's ability to discuss this matter with him was enough to prove his trust in him.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "The two houses of Laos and the United States are likely to pass a new sanctions bill in the next two days, allowing the country to choose one of the two."
"Either the United States imposes a 25% tariff. Either let the people's bi appreciate, and the old American market is too important to the country, then there is a high probability of appreciation. "
"So the domestic export business will definitely be affected, and grain is no exception. If the grain production is increased, the domestic grain will increase. Prices will definitely be affected.”
“That’s good news for Jiahe, provided there is a food crisis.”
