Chapter 275 A seed can change the world
Father Xu pointed at the TV, but the news screen had switched at this moment, so he had to say:
"Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is on the news again "
"Alfalfa?" Xu Xiaoxue murmured and looked at the TV screen and the news channel.
“Because?”
"Thankfully you are from Seed Industry Weekly!" Xu Ting said: "Grain production has increased and the cultivated land area has increased!"
"I saw it on the Internet." Xu Xiaoxue suddenly realized. "I am writing an article on corn seeds and grain, but I really haven't paid attention to the cultivated land."
Xu Ting said: "The increase in cultivated land is also related to seeds. As for the salt-eating plants reported two years ago, you can study "For a moment."
Xu Xiaoxue was stunned, but remembering the sensation caused by converting the Jinta Salt-alkali Land into grassland two years ago, this made perfect sense.
"Okay, thank you, Dad, I'll get busy first."
After saying that, Xu Xiaoxue walked straight to the bedroom without even glancing at Xu's mother, Ning Caijuan, on the other side of the sofa.
Ning Caijuan complained in a low voice: "What kind of work should I do after get off work? I am already in my twenties, so I am not in a hurry!" There was a loud slam of the door closing, "Bang!"
Ning Caijuan stared at Father Xu, with sparks in her eyes.
Xu Ting smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoxue and Zhang Yang won't call, so it's useless for you to force her like this."
"I didn't force her to have a relationship with Zhang Yang. The key is that she doesn't have contact with men." Ning Caijuan was angry. "I used to think she was interested in Boss Haohe, but now she doesn't have any contact with her anymore."
" Why didn't I see it?" Father Xu shook his head, "Xiaoxue's refusal to contact Jiahe was not caused by your friend Lai Minjun, who accused Tianyu No. 1 of being genetically modified, which caused Xiaoxue to be transferred. "
The words left Ning Caijuan speechless.
In the bedroom.
Xu Xiaoxue also heard her parents' discussion, but didn't pay much attention to it. She and Guo Yang only met by chance.
It's more about admiring the professional ethics of entrepreneurs and not thinking about men and women.
Finally she was transferred back to work at Seed Industry Weekly. As soon as she came back, she focused on Tianhe Seed Industry. The increase in grain production has a lot to do with Tianhe's improved seeds.
I just didn’t expect that the improvement of coastal saline-alkali land has achieved such great results.
Xu Xiaoxue was browsing the Internet.
Perhaps due to the broadcast of Xinwen Network, netizens have a better understanding of the increase in cultivated land area.
In particular, CCTV also used helicopter aerial photography this time to display the images of pasture, rice, wheat, and soybeans more intuitively.
The visual impact and contrast reminded many people of the report two years ago.
This time the shock was even greater than last time.
“Two years ago, when I saw two hundred thousand acres of barren land transformed into stretches of pasture, I thought that such a day would come. When it actually came, I was still so excited that I couldn’t calm down.”< br>
“Hahaha... I am from Dongying. There are indeed many saline-alkali lands. I didn’t expect that they would all become fertile land now.”
“It’s the first time in Jiangsu that I’ve learned about the Tiaozini Reclamation Area, and the first time I’ve known about seawater rice...”
“Our country has 1.5 billion acres of saline-alkali land, and 500 million acres have the potential to be developed. Come on. Ah, my country!”
“It’s alfalfa farming again, high-quality forage and grass seeds...it’s really just one grass that makes a world of difference!” Mu Bie is not well-known, but the few times he became famous were big things, and I heard that his profits were astonishing, and he was a typical example of making a fortune in silence."
Seeing these comments, Xu Xiaoxue smiled knowingly.
But netizens only know that Alfalfa is awesome. In fact, Tianhe Seed Industry is not inferior to Alfalfa at all, and Fengkai Agricultural Machinery is also a well-known domestic enterprise...
For the parent companies of Tianhe and Alfalfa --Jiahe Group, people know very little about it.
The information on the Internet is also mixed, and many netizens are still confused.
“Didn’t we say last year that there were only 113 million acres of reserve cultivated land resources? Which one is more accurate?”
“Is seawater rice grown in the sea? Or is it irrigated with seawater?”
"Why has the food increased so much?"
There are many comments like this.
There are many places where we can dig deeper. Is it even possible to do an exclusive interview with Jiahe?
On a quiet night in the cold winter, Xu Xiaoxue sat in front of the computer and silently wrote the manuscript.
And she is just one of many media workers, this is destined to be an uneventful night.
…
The next day.
There are many related reports in newspapers, online media, and local TV channels.
The enthusiasm for increasing grain production and increasing cultivated land area has begun to rise, and people are gradually beginning to get rid of the white terror caused by melamine.
These reports include many professional newspapers and periodicals such as Farmers Daily and Science and Technology News, and the information obtained is more authoritative.
As soon as it was released, it received a lot of attention and was later reprinted on the Internet.
These media have made detailed reports around specific locations and farmers.
It was only then that the general public realized that many people had made fortunes through the improvement of saline-alkali land.
“Gao Xiaoxia, a farmer from Dongying, has contracted a thousand acres of saline-alkali land. With one season of pasture and one season of wheat, he can earn two to three hundred yuan per mu in just one year.”
“Someone from Weifang Farmers also recovered their costs in the first year through soybean and wheat rotation.”
"In the Tiaozini Reclamation Area of Suzhou Province, the trial planting of seawater rice was successful this year. The yield reached 1,100 kilograms per mu. It will be promoted on a large scale next year..."
"Melamine broke out and alfalfa became popular. Farmers got a blessing in disguise. The accumulated alfalfa hay Sold at high prices in winter.”
Farmers Daily and others also analyzed the reasons for the increase in grain production and cultivated land.
However, the focus of the masses is not on this.
Why does The Book of Wealth have so many audiences?
Just because people yearn for getting rich and a better life, the threshold for getting rich in agriculture seems to be very low.
Others can do it, why can’t I?
Internet portals and media also understand traffic and quickly capture people's attention.
Began to go deep into the front line of saline-alkali land improvement to collect information, and even fabricated cases of making a fortune, constantly stimulating people's attention.
In this case, some people in the surrounding areas who knew some of the situation also made some determination.
Many people from out of town also flock to this hot land.
Under such circumstances, an article that was interpreted from the perspective of Tianhe Seed Industry and Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry quickly stood out.
The article comes from Seed Industry Weekly, written by Xu Xiaoxue - "With the increase in grain production and the increase in cultivated land area, who is the biggest winner?"
"After several years of scientific and technological workers in our country, Ten years of research have accumulated numerous measures to improve saline-alkali land. "
"But the biggest contributor to the rapid breakthrough of coastal saline-alkali land comes from a kind of pasture seed-Alfalfa No. 1. .”
"Comed from Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, its high-quality alfalfa sells well at home and abroad. It is also the main forage supplier of Hexi Dairy, which has previously won national reputation."
"It is such a high-quality forage seed that is rich in nutrients. It also has extremely powerful 'salt-eating' properties.
Even in severely saline-alkali land, Alfalfa No. 1 can sprout and survive well, and quickly reduce the soil salt content to 6 within one or two years. ‰ or even below 3‰”
“The market price of this seed is as high as 500 yuan/jin. Based on the saline-alkali land improvement data in 2006, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry’s annual seed sales are As high as eight to nine billion yuan..."
"Don't forget, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry also exports a large amount of forage business. There have been public reports that Alfalfa has signed orders of more than 1 billion yuan with island countries. ”
"Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry promoted the improvement of coastal saline-alkali land through Alfalfa No. 1, and also promoted the fertilization of farmland soil, adding a large amount of cultivated land to the country."
"At the same time, during this year, we obtained Huge profits were made..."
Seeing this, the people on the Internet were extremely shocked.
Eight to nine billion yuan!
Fuck you!
Is Alfalfa Farming and Animal Husbandry so profitable?
The export unit price of forage is close to 3,000 yuan/ton, and the profit is already astonishing.
This kind of thing is even more outrageous!
The elites in the business and financial circles were shocked and at the same time extremely uncomfortable.
Sure enough, good companies belong to others.
But this surprise is far from over. As you continue reading, the hidden giants in the seed industry gradually begin to surface.
“Since 2004, a corn seed called Tianyu No. 1 has appeared on the market.”
“In just three years, Tianyu No. 1 has already surpassed Zhengdan 958. He fell off his horse and took the crown of domestic corn seeds."
"How excellent is Tianyu No. 1?"
"It pioneered density tolerance, single-seed sowing, and field three. It is the first of its kind to provide technical services. The yield per mu can reach 3,000 jins in the northwest region, and can be stable at more than 2,000 jins in other production areas. ”
"The yield per mu has increased by 1,000 kilograms."
"In the past two years, farmers in northwest, north China, northeast and other places have achieved a jump in corn production, increased income and become rich by planting Tianyu No. 1 and adopting new planting models. . ”
“Last year, Tianyu No. 1 was promoted to an area of nearly 60 million acres. What does this mean? ”
“It means that Tianyu alone has made my country’s corn industry more popular. The total output increased by 30 million tons. "
"The increase in grain production this time is 54 million tons, and Tianyu No. 1 alone accounts for more than half. It can be said that Tianyu No. 1 is the biggest contributor to the increase in grain production. ”
"Tianyu No. 1 is the flagship variety of Tianhe Seed Industry. The company also has high-yielding seeds such as wheat, soybeans, and potatoes, which have also led to an increase in production in their respective regions."
"With Dingxi potatoes For example, Tianhe’s virus-free potato seedlings have an average yield of more than 5,000 kilograms per mu, while in previous years the figure was 2,800 kilograms.”
“There are also carrots from Fujian Province and Tianhe’s super red core yield. It can even reach more than 15,000 kilograms..."
"Such as this, Tianhe Seed Industry has allowed farmers to have a bumper harvest through the breeding of excellent varieties and the promotion of advanced cultivation techniques. It can be said to be the number one player in increasing grain production. Hero."
"It has also gained huge benefits from seed sales. The unit price of Tianyu No. 1 is 60 yuan/kg, which is 3 to 5 times that of other seeds, but the sales are still booming... Other grains, Fruit and vegetable seeds are in a similar situation.”
"In this year's selection of the top 50 seed industries, Tianhe Seed Industry has reached the top with an undisputed advantage. According to industry insiders, Tianhe Seed Industry's revenue has exceeded 10 billion, and its profits are astonishing. The revenue of domestic listed seed companies Taken together, it’s not as good as a horse…”
After reading the introduction of Tianhe Seed Industry, the people who eat melons already feel a little numb.
At this time, there was no publicity that seeds were chips for agriculture, and society’s awareness of the importance of seeds was actually limited.
Especially in the city, many people do not understand the situation of the seed industry at all.
If someone takes the lead in denouncing GMOs, then join in the fun; if someone denounces food safety, then also join in the fun.
However, Tianhe Seed Industry has opened up people's awareness, especially the combination of various stories of getting rich, which makes people watch it with relish.
People in the financial and business circles have also had their perceptions subverted.
MD!
What are the domestic listed seed companies doing? Their seed sales exceed 10 billion!
They also roughly know the production and sales costs of the seed company, even if Tianhe's cost is higher.
That’s an amazing profit too!
At the same time, they also keenly captured the information from the article: corn yield per unit area has increased significantly.
The area of cultivated land has also increased.
Grain production will increase significantly next year!
The price of food is a bit high now.
Go short now!
Excellent seeds have changed people's perceptions, not only enriching millions of farmers, but also completely reversing the food security situation of the entire country. As an agricultural scientist said in an interview: "Science and technology are potential productivity. It penetrates and condenses into the basic elements of productivity, transforms it into actual productivity, and materializes into direct productivity."
Magic City, Lujiazui.
Chen Changshou stared at the trends of various grain contracts with a calm face. The curve that was originally rising steadily suddenly turned downward.
Two cards they played: food crisis, and declining arable land.
First it was reversed by the official information.
Now it is well known that everyone from all walks of life has interpreted it. Not only has their move been completely resolved, it may also fall short and affect the layout of foreign countries.
Chen Changtao scolded: "MD, when did these people who eat public grains become so efficient?"
His younger brother Chen Changjun also said in confusion: "In previous years, the grain output data were only in March. It will be released in January this time. Will it be fake? ”
"What are you thinking about, you pig head? Do they dare to fake this kind of thing?"
Chen Changjun said aggrievedly: "Who can say clearly about this kind of thing? They don't have the final say in statistics."< br>
Chen Changtao put his hands on his hips and the white shirt he was wearing was stretched out into a ball. He said angrily: "The same goes for this group of media, they are like dogs seeing shit."
Standing aside, he stood in front of the computer. The trader asked: "Mr. Chen, what should we do now? Are we still going long?"
After a moment of silence, Chen Changtao said: "First of all, be stable and avoid this wave of limelight. The price will definitely rise again." .”
Then he looked at his younger brother, "Xiaojun, we will collect more information on domestic grain output and cultivated land conditions next year to get more details."
"Okay."
Chen Changtao came to an independent office and dialed the number of ADM's headquarters.
"Brooks, there are some emergencies in China that I would like to report to you."
Chen Changtao carefully conveyed the information to Brooks, the senior vice president of ADM.
The air is somewhat solid.
Brooks said: "The corn yield has increased significantly?"
In the middle of winter, Chen Changtao felt a little hot, "Yes."
Brooks felt incredible, corn The yield per unit area has made a revolutionary breakthrough. Considering the area of cultivated land in China, the total increase is terrifying.
At the same time.
Cargill, Bunge, Louis Dreyfus, Monsanto and other multinational agricultural giants, as well as international investment funds such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Barclays.
They all learned about the developments in China at the same time, with grain production increasing and arable land increasing.
This casts a shadow over the giants.
Cargill Inc.
Albert convened the company's board of directors, "Everyone, we are in trouble now. China has too much food."
Someone said: "China's domestic grain prices are much lower than abroad, so just buy them."
"This requires a lot of money."
"Other companies will not sit idly by."
"Agree, there are too many countries lacking food now, and we will not lose money no matter what."
Albert asked: "Do you have any other suggestions?"< br>
Someone said: "Isn't Africa suffering from famine? The International Food and Agriculture Organization can call on countries for international assistance. China is very keen on this."
"Many poor people in Africa can't spend much money to buy food anyway. "Albert smiled and said, "Then leave it to me."
......
Jiuquan.
A heavy snowfall turned the entire city into a white world, but there were still many colorful plants swaying in Jiahe Park.
When I woke up in the morning, there was a lot of news accumulated in the work group and irrigation group.
“Since last night, the Internet has been overwhelmingly praising Alfalfa and Tianhe.”
Cai Bin: “I hid under the quilt and watched it all night, and I have to say, The winter in Zepu is also cold!”
Bao Xinyu: “@Everyone, look at this, some people say that the combined revenue of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Tianhe Seed Industry has entered the top ten in the world’s seed industry. "
Xie Shijie: "Brother Bao, stay calm."
Xiang Tianshan: "There is no need to be modest about this. This is a real achievement of the company and an honor."
Qu Yang: "Continue to work hard next year and strive to go global as soon as possible."
Guo Yang I glanced around during the exercise, and my mood couldn't help but feel better.
Praise from the outside world is one thing.
In addition, it is also because Jiahe's power has begun to affect the operation of this society.
While rinsing, Guo Yang suddenly had a realization. When he came out, he picked up his phone, edited the information and sent it to the group.
“The technological revolution in the 21st century will not only involve network technology, but also the development of biotechnology.”
“Let’s work together.”
“A seed You can also change the world.”
Yu Qin: “Come on!”
Gaode: "Come on!"
"Come on!"
......
Rush to the company early for breakfast.
It is still the paste pot carefully prepared by Lao Liu. The shredded chicken is full of umami and spicy taste, which makes Guo Yang feel like he has really returned to Jiuquan.
After dinner, Guo Yang arrived in the office. Before a cup of tea was ready, Qu Yang walked in with a smile.
"Boss, Seed Weekly contacted me and wanted to do an exclusive interview with Tianhe and also interview you."
"Seed Weekly?" Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, "Interviewing you Just go, I won't show up."
Qu Yang said with a smile: "It's an acquaintance of you, the female reporter Xu Xiaoxue. Are you sure I won't see you then? Maybe she wants to write an issue about Jiahe? Content."
Guo Yang thought about it, but still shook his head and said:
"Exclusive interviews about Tianhe and Algoda can be published, but no other information will be disclosed."
Qu Yang said: "In fact, many people already know that Algoda, Tianhe and Fengkai are a family. Enterprise."
Guo Yang smiled, "But there are many things that the outside world doesn't know. Try to keep this veil as long as possible."
Old He, Tianhe and Hexi. It is very famous, and Fengkai Agricultural Machinery also has a certain reputation in the outside world, but there is still very little information about Jiahe Grain and Oil.
At least until 2008 passes, Jiahe Cereals and Oils will try to keep a low profile.
Qu Yang said: "In this case, I won't go either. I'll let Lao Yan go."
"No, you have to go." Guo Yang boiled the water to brew tea and said, "Old Yan Yan is too honest, don't say anything when the time comes."
"It means I am very cunning."
Guo Yang said with a smile: "That's what you said, you have to sit down. Can I get you a cup of tea?”
“No, I’ve already made it in my office.”
Qu Yang was still standing in front of his desk.
Guo Yang asked: "Is there anything else?"
Qu Yang hesitated and said in a low voice: "Boss, there may be some problems with Fengkai's management during this period."< br>
Guo Yang frowned slightly, it looked pretty good from the financial statements! The production and sales of various agricultural machinery are going smoothly, and there are many popular models.
“What happened?”
"Some time ago, Pu Fei and Guan Cheng had some conflicts over the research and development of drones. The two had a quarrel, which I heard was quite violent." Qu Yang said in a low voice.
Pu Fei was recommended by Yu Honghai and is now the general manager of Fengkai Agricultural Machinery, while Guan Cheng is the vice president with a background in R&D.
Both of them have pretty decent personalities.
"How could they have a conflict?"
Qu Yang looked outside the door and confirmed that no one was paying attention, then whispered: "Our plant protection drone has been developed Out.”
"But Pu Fei is not satisfied. He thinks that there is no breakthrough in aerial survey and flight control, and even if it is released, it will not make much sense."
"Then, a team called DJI suggested: go to the field of aerial photography first. Pu Fei agrees with it and wants to invest in companies and projects related to gimbals, action cameras, and intelligent flight controls.”
“Guan Cheng is determined to launch plant protection drones first, but he doesn’t agree. Vigorously developing aerial photography, foreign investment has reached a financial stalemate..."
Guo Yang was stunned. He wanted to take a sip of tea, but his mouth was burned again. He looked at Qu Yang, " Laugh if you want, I don't hold grudges."
Qu Yang did not answer, but suggested: "How about taking back Fengkai's financial power to the group headquarters?"
It is indeed a bit unreasonable to let a deputy general manager take charge of finance, and the general manager needs to apply to his subordinates for money.
Guo Yang said in a deep voice: "It's not appropriate to take it back. I'll come down and talk to him from the headquarters finance department."
Qu Yang said: "Okay, I'll leave first. . ”
At present, the mainstream market for drones is still military, the civilian market is very small, and the potential of the aerial photography market is generally not optimistic.
But Guo Yang knew that this was a market that could be opened up with the power of technology.
Strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with either of them. The fault lay in his failure to make proper management arrangements.
Fortunately, it is not too late to change it now.
After Qu Yang left, Guo Yang lay half-ly on the seat and thought for a long time. He found that he was often entangled in various trivial matters now.
But this is normal.
No business founder is not tired. Working more than ten hours a day and flying in the sky for a long time are the norm for these people.
Not sure it will be successful yet.
In contrast, he was lucky to be able to build a huge empire in a few years.
Guo Yang secretly cheered himself up for a while, and then continued to work.
Before returning to Jiuquan from the capital, the heads of the main subsidiaries were notified of a meeting tomorrow.
So, Guo Yang mainly needs to understand the progress of key matters and make planning adjustments.
Hexi Dairy Ranch and the dairy sector must be divided; Huinong.com and Jiahe Fresh Supermarket must also become independent;
Fengkai Agricultural Machinery’s financial issues must be communicated in advance; the progress of overseas projects; headquarters construction; before the holiday Work arrangements...
There are so many things.
Guo Yang returned to the rhythm of life of working during the day, exercising in the morning and evening, and studying breeding at night.
