Chapter 293 I Want to Eat Fish
Guo Yang didn’t know that there was an additional shop selling flower seeds on Taobao, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
Because Huinong.com is not suitable for C2C transactions.
In the previous life, Huinong.com had a low reputation among ordinary people, but it had some not-so-good reputation among buyers and wholesalers.
There are often incidents of being deceived, some of which are caused by Huinong, as an intermediary, blindly pursuing trading volume and profits.
To be honest, Jiahe doesn't particularly need this profit, it just needs to ensure the integrity of the entire system.
Come back to your senses.
Guo Yang took a sip of tea happily and walked to the window again. The Qilian Snow Mountain in early April was also glowing with life.
He couldn't help but review the "banana cancer" incident again.
I always feel like something is fishy.
The Panama virus has existed abroad for hundreds of years without causing any significant impact.
In less than 20 years, it has caused such a huge wave in China.
Is there an evil hand behind it?
Huinong.com and Weiguang Company jointly collected some information. Dole, the world's largest fruit company, set up a banana office in Shanghai this year.
Build refrigerated warehouses and ripening distribution centers, and signed contracts with many supermarket chains such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour, and Good Luck.
While domestically produced bananas have plummeted, the price of imported bananas has remained as strong as ever, and the contrast is huge.
Before the crisis, imported bananas were 30% more expensive. After the crisis, imported bananas continued to rise.
But ironically, the banana farms supplying Dole at this time were in China, not its production base in Mindanao, the Philippines.
Bananas on the same piece of land are sold at two prices: heaven and earth.
In addition to Huinong.com, which made the most profit during this crisis, Dole and other fruit import and export companies are also quietly making money.
So is it so magical?
Guo Yang had no doubts at first, but he couldn't help but think of future textbooks and oil tankers transporting cooking oil.
"New Shock News" broke the news that Jinding Edible Oil was attacking the national team. Internal and external forces want to defeat the national team in one fell swoop and realize the division of profits.
I didn’t expect that I would bite the head of my sponsor, my father, the arowana.
When you touch the golden arowana, the world suddenly becomes quiet.
Collusion between inside and outside!
Is this the same routine this time?
Dole has been in the country for many years, but it only entered the banana market this year. It opened up the situation as soon as it entered. From the perspective of conspiracy theories, Guo Yang had to be more vigilant.
Whether it is Yihai Kerry, Dole, Monsanto, or even the four major grain merchants, as long as they seize Jiahe's loopholes, they will definitely take a bite.
Besides, Jiahe Edible Oil has been on the market for two months, so it must have attracted the attention of its opponents.
When I was thinking about it, the phone rang again.
Guo Yang took a look, got through, and said: "Old Ding, what's wrong? Let's make a deal first. The red hemp tea sent to you is gone. If you want to drink it, you have to wait a few months."< br>
“I want to raise pigs.”
“I know you want to raise pigs.” Guo Yang said with a smile: “But why are you coming to me? Jiahe doesn’t have a pig raising business.”< br>
“But you know agriculture.” Ding Lei held on tightly. To be honest, Jiahe’s products during this period really surprised him.
If he hadn't been unable to leave, he would have wanted to go to Northwest China to see Jiahe's base in person.
Ding Lei said again: "Give me some advice!"
"Large-scale pig raising is not that simple, and I don't understand it very well." Guo Yang said, "But we need high-quality green fodder. , I can provide it."
Ding Lei said: "Is it okay for pigs to eat only grass? Shouldn't they eat sweet potatoes?"
"Then you have to study it carefully."
Hearing this, Ding Lei was a little disappointed. What he meant was that he didn't want to get involved too much.
He told many people about his agricultural story and his thoughts on raising pigs, but he was met with all kinds of ridicule and disdain.
The Internet and pig farming are two completely unrelated things.
I thought I would get some comfort from Guo Yang, but I didn't expect that he would also be disliked.
This further aroused his competitive spirit.
"Mr. Guo, have you ever tasted really delicious pork?" Ding Lei smiled again: "I'll treat you to it in two years."
"Okay, I'll wait."
Guo Yang was indeed a little unimpressed. Large-scale pig raising was not that fun, not to mention that Ding Lei's pig raising was still experimental.
Just an exploration of new agriculture.
That is, the nature of playing tickets.
After many high-tech giants entered agriculture, they discovered that the agricultural field was "deep" and they couldn't do it at all.
For some people, leasing rural land alone takes a year or two and involves a lot of setbacks.
Pig farming seems to have no technical content and low entry barriers, but in fact, its hidden barriers are very high, and large-scale agriculture requires very high capital and technology.
In most agricultural investment projects, you will eventually die from losses.
Of course, there are still some people who enclose land instead of engaging in agriculture and turn to real estate development, which ultimately makes up for their losses in agriculture.
In the future, NetEase’s pig-raising project also ended in failure after years of delays.
Guo Yang did not want to get involved in a gambling project that was destined to fail. Jiahe wanted to be the best.
It is not certain who invites whom to eat good pork?
……
In early April, spring sowing has been completed in most areas of the Hexi Corridor.
As far as Guo Yang learned during his time in the countryside, Jiuquan has implemented spring sowing area of more than 2 million acres.
For two consecutive months since returning after the Spring Festival, Fengkai Agricultural Machinery and Tianhe Seed Industry have been the busiest.
This year, the scope of agricultural machinery subsidy funds has been expanded, and the amount has also increased significantly. Taking Jiuquan as an example, agricultural machinery subsidy funds have exceeded 10 million yuan for the first time.
Other cities also experienced significant growth.
In order to cooperate with the agricultural machinery department, Fengkai also sent a large number of technical service personnel to go deep into the fields of villages and towns to hold on-site meetings, training classes, and consultation desks.
Tens of thousands of experienced agricultural machinery workers were even dispatched from the factory to teach farmers about the performance of machinery and to train agricultural machinery operators.
In this process, Fengkai’s sales of various agricultural machinery and tools once again achieved excellent results.
In 2005, Fengkai's annual output value was approximately 550 million.
In 2006, the output value was nearly 2.4 billion yuan and the profit was about 480 million yuan.
Entering 2007, take the tractor market as an example:
In January, the monthly sales volume of the Cheetah series of medium and large tractors was 598 units, and the sales volume of the entire series was 1,710 units;
In February, the monthly sales volume of the entire series was 2,035 units, ranking second in domestic monthly sales;
In March, the entire series sold 2,165 units in a single month, ranking first in domestic monthly sales.
Compared with last year, the sales performance of domestic medium and large tractors in the first quarter of this year was relatively flat, and most manufacturers even experienced a slight decline.
Fengkai Agricultural Machinery still maintained growth.
Yancheng Tractor Factory, Huaxia Yituo, and Futian Heavy Industries were all surpassed by Fengkai Agricultural Machinery.
But the technological progress of other manufacturers is also obvious. For example, Foton launched a 265-horsepower large tractor for the first time.
It has caught up with Fengkai in terms of power.
In the field of grain harvesters, Fengkai’s leading advantage is not as obvious as expected.
Fengkai's fully self-propelled corn harvesters, wheat harvesters, and all forage machinery have already gained a certain reputation.
However, Foton Lovol and Tiantuo also announced the mass production of self-propelled corn harvesters this year, but the products have not yet been put on sale and the quality is unknown.
However, the agricultural machinery subsidy policy has received relatively positive feedback.
With steel prices and diesel prices soaring, domestic leading agricultural machinery manufacturers are still living relatively well and have enough energy to carry out technological research and development and breakthroughs.
Farmers' enthusiasm for purchasing machines has also been stimulated, and agricultural mechanization productivity has also increased rapidly in various places.
Among these, the rapid rise of Fengkai Agricultural Machinery is particularly eye-catching!
More and more models are being launched, with good performance, perfect after-sales service, and a long three-guarantee period...
In many aspects, it has set a precedent in the domestic agricultural machinery industry and attracted many heads. The big manufacturers follow suit. This has led to a substantial increase in domestic exports of various agricultural machinery in the past two years, and it seems that it will explode again in 2007.
At the same time, Fengkai also performs well in the power fields such as single-cylinder diesel engines, water pumps, and diesel generators.
In addition to Fengkai, Tianhe’s seeds continue to consolidate its position as the dominant player in the domestic seed industry.
Tianyu No. 1 leads the way, and the reputation of this variety for its high yield has spread all over the country. Regardless of whether it is suitable or not, farmers have to give it a try, and the shipment speed is still very fast.
However, compared with Tianyu No. 1’s seed stock of 285 million acres, it is definitely impossible to clear the stock this year.
Tiandou No. 1 followed closely, and the price of soybeans increased. The use of coastal saline-alkali land to grow soybeans has good benefits and the effect of improving the soil is also very good.
The next is Tianmian 20 and Tianshu 21. With the examples of increased production and income in Xinjiang Province and Dingxi last year, they cannot be underestimated this year.
Some areas with similar geographical conditions have been introduced.
Just around Yumen and Jiuquan, many farmers choose Tianmian 20.
For more than a week, Guo Yang spent this kind of going to the countryside.
After finishing the Hexi Corridor, we immediately came to the soybean base in Zepu, Xinjiang Province.
This place is located in the southwest of Xinjiang Province, where there is drought and little rain.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of machinery, the seeder roared and galloped back and forth on the cultivated land.
After plowing, the land became flat and soft, and plump soybean seeds were buried into the soil as the seeder turned up and down.
On the side of the road, Guo Yang looked at Shen Zhi, the general manager of the base next to him. He was wearing gray long sleeves and light blue jeans. He was in his prime.
"Is it okay to sow soybeans in spring?"
When he came here, he saw that many local farmers still had immature wheat in their fields, so he asked this question.
“It has passed April 10th, the temperature has stabilized, and normal growth is no problem.”
Shen Zhi pondered for a while and then said: "But if soybeans are chosen as spring crops in Zepu, they can only be harvested once a year, and the land utilization rate is not high."
Guo Yang looked at some of the remaining seeds in the field. The white salted land smiled and said:
“It will be good if the newly improved saline-alkali land can be harvested normally for one season.”
Zepu’s 500,000 acres of land was only chosen to be transferred last autumn. Yes, Donghe Agricultural Machinery plowed deeply once in early winter, and again later in the year.
This improvement method is too crude.
In fact, the salinity level in the ground has not been reduced in any way.
Guo Yang said: "After the soybeans are harvested and the straw is backfilled, go to the pasture to get some decomposed cow and sheep manure to improve the soil, and just leave it fallow for half a year."
"Boss, you are good. That's the best thing to think about." Shen Zhi smiled and said, "If you do this, this will be a good land again next year."
Fallowing means much less income.
This is 500,000 acres of land!
If you have multiple varieties per season, you can earn hundreds of millions of dollars!
Now we not only have to leave it fallow for half a year, but also use cow and sheep manure to improve the soil faster, which in turn costs a lot more money.
For Shen Zhi, who has been engaged in agriculture for more than ten years, it has never been so enjoyable.
Guo Yang smiled and continued to ask: "Have the soybean breeding base also been built?"
"Yes." Shen Zhi said: "It's just that the conditions here are relatively poor. It is expected that most of the seeds will not emerge well.”
"Don't be afraid of difficulties. When you are afraid, you never start." Guo Yang said.
Xinjiang Province has a vast land area and is extremely suitable for soybean cultivation, but all the good land has been used to grow cotton.
Over time, Xinjiang Province’s soybean seed reserves have been chronically insufficient.
In Zepu during this period, farmers planted soybeans in a small area with a single variety, and they were self-saved and self-propagated. The growth period was long, the pods were not concentrated, the yield was low, and the soybean seeds had large and black eyes. .
It can only be used as breeding material for Tianhe, and it is deeply disliked.
Such seeds will definitely not work.
Tianhe now has 4 soybean varieties.
In addition to Tiandou No. 1, there are also three varieties of soybean seeds in cool areas, soybean seeds in northwest arid areas, and soybean seeds in coastal areas.
In Zepu, we choose soybeans from arid areas.
But the variety must be kept diverse!
The growth potential of soybeans in Xinjiang Province is a very important aspect of Jiahe Cereals and Oils, and the planting area is definitely indispensable.
So more seeds are needed.
In this regard, Guo Yang does not intend to intervene anymore, and plans to leave everything to Tianhe Scientific Research Institute.
The sunset here is very late.
But Guo Yang still had a bonfire dinner with a group of land reclamation teams.
Guo Yang picked up a full glass of Wusu beer, stood up and said loudly:
"In just half a year, 500,000 acres of wasteland have been sown from scratch, and a stage has been achieved. Sexual victory, here’s to you guys!”
“Cheers!”
Drink it up!
"Everyone will work harder in the future." Guo Yang wiped his mouth. This Wusu was really exciting. "As long as the production target can be achieved, dividend rewards are indispensable."
"Okay."
< br>"Boss has invested so much money, the project will definitely succeed."
A young man came over and poured Guo Yang a glass of wine and said: "Boss, when can I drink Jiahe and use myself?" Beer brewed with hops?"
Guo Yang was stunned for a moment and asked: "Which branch is it from? I think you look familiar."
"From Tianhe Seed Industry." Xiong Xing said with a smile: "I was at the Yumen Seed Production Base, and I drank with the boss."
Guo Yang had some impressions and looked at the people who came over. Everyone said: "The beer supplied by Jiahe will be released this year."
"Okay, then the boss will have a good drink!"
"You are thinking of eating shit!"
“That is, the hop yield will definitely not be high in the first year. It would be good to try something new.”
"That's enough." Guo Yang said loudly: "I have planted 3,000 acres of hops this year. Isn't that enough for you to drink?"
"Hahaha..."
Xiong Xing asked: "There are also seafood. , boss. "
"You can also eat salmon, South American prawns, Australian lobsters, butter crabs...the farm is also in the west of Xinjiang Province, not far from Zepu."
Hops and seafood have been in preparation since last year and are finally on track this year.
Thinking that the promise made in two or three years will be realized, Guo Yang still has a little expectation.
I wonder if those netizens have forgotten it?
Pushing the cup to the cup, Wu Su’s stamina was indeed quite strong. Guo Yang was a little dizzy, half-lying on the chair by the campfire and looking at the cold moon.
"Luo Xiu, I want to go fishing in Altay."
"Then I will arrange it."
Just then, the sound of a bell pierced the night sky.
Guo Yang looked at it suspiciously, it was so late, who else was calling?
I have a bad feeling in my heart.
The call was from Yu Honghai. The Democratic Republic of the Congo was in trouble again, with a fine from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
Disguised extortion.
Guo Yang suddenly wanted to eat fish.
