Chapter 296: Catch big fish again; bet on biodiesel
It’s not surprising that Ding Lei raises pigs and Guo Yang, but the time is not right!
With doubts, Guo Yang clicked on the news.
Recently, Ding Lei, the head of NetEase, announced that he will establish an ecological pig farm and feed green feed to pigs. He is also planning to combine pig farming with the Internet to create a pig farming website. The pig farming process will be made public online. ...
After browsing around, in addition to Tencent, many other media have also followed suit.
Ding Lei also frequently appears in front of the camera.
“The idea of raising pigs was inspired by a plate of pig blood.”
“Ten years ago, I had plans to invest in agriculture.”
“10 million U.S. dollars is still needed. Can it be called an investment? Can RMB 10 million be considered an investment?”
“The idea originated from my long-term concern about food safety and agriculture.”
“What touched me the most and made me want to raise pigs was that I have tasted a lot of top-quality agricultural products recently, but I have never tasted delicious pork.”
NetEase, a huge IT empire, claims to want to raise pigs online , many people naturally think that this is a hype and show.
But Guo Yang knew that Ding Lei really wanted to do it.
For NetEase, 10 million yuan is indeed not an investment, it can only be a whim.
But Old Ding!
If you use 10 million to raise pigs, what are you thinking?
Guo Yang looked at it for a while and stopped paying attention. The price of pigs is now at a mid-to-high level, which is not a good time to raise pigs.
Within two days, NetEase pig farming became a hot topic in society.
Ding Lei's talk about "Pig Raising Tips" has become the focus of various media reports.
Many people think this is an empty shelf, and NetEase has no substantive actions at all.
NetEase has internally established a project team composed of several NetEase employees and several external employees, known as the "Pig Raising Team", to be responsible for site selection and external inspections.
There is a posture of fighting with real swords and guns.
From national ministries and commissions to local government departments, everyone began to call NetEase to pay attention to this matter.
Jiahe’s senior executives also discuss this matter from time to time.
Because Ding Lei mentioned Jiahe in a media interview and praised Hexi’s milk and various agricultural products in Jiahe Fresh.
As a result, Jiahe Fresh Supermarket, which has expanded to more than a dozen stores, has seen a significant increase in foot traffic recently.
“The daily sales of Jiahe Fresh Supermarket’s Beijing and Magic City stores have exceeded 100,000 yuan.”
“The newly opened stores are also very popular.”
“ This Ding Lei is really a good person!”
“The boss should pay some advertising fees”
Guo Yang: "Advertising fees? This is because he is thanking us!"
At this time, Peng Shuyu, the person in charge of Jiahe Fresh Food, who was far away in the capital, sent a message to the group.
"Boss, is Jiahe Fresh Food going to open a store in the south? Fruit supermarket chains are very popular in the south now."
Guo Yang thought for a while, a dozen stores is not too slow. But it’s okay to mention pace again.
“Okay, expand into big cities first, make plans and submit them.”
Yang Cheng from Weiguang Company also saw this news and smiled slightly in his heart. Only a dozen stores?
I have dozens of rooftop farms, and I will give you a surprise in two months.
However, Jiahe Fresh Supermarket is indeed very popular, and the average daily traffic is indeed considerable.
Furthermore, Jiahe Fresh Supermarket has always had a good reputation; it is also highly favored in the capital market, and investors are already approaching it.
It’s just that Jiahe has never been interested in the capital market.
Yang Cheng only hoped that there would be capital to be interested in rooftop farms, because the boss obviously only regarded this as child's play and did not take it seriously.
At this time, two more messages appeared in the group. They were several pictures. He frowned. Someone was reporting work again?
There are very few bad news that can be posted to the group.
At the same time, Bao Xinyu, who was far away in the Urad grassland, also noticed the news in the group.
“Again?”
"It's not over yet!"
Muttered a few words, he looked at the content and looked like it was indeed the case.
“It is an overseas order from Fengkai Agricultural Machinery, and several transactions were reached at the same time, with a total amount of 450 million yuan!”
Bao Xinyu: “@pufei, congratulations to Pu Overall, this amount is incredible!”
“The profits from overseas should be even greater, right?”
Pu Fei: "The export agricultural machinery market is growing rapidly this year. Everyone can pay more attention to opportunities in the international market."
"..." Bao Xinyu: "I have not yet achieved profitability in China, so I am waiting for Qiu The general ranch is here to help!"
"@Qiu Jingrang, Mr. Qiu, the grassland in Urad has recovered well this year, and you can try raising cattle."
"Received. : "There is a production expansion task this year, and the export demand for Hexi Dairy dairy products is also growing rapidly @ Ji Zhuowen."
"Beef cattle, mutton sheep, and camels are also arranged."
Lu Hanbin: "I have to praise that Fengkai's plant protection drone is really easy to use. It can not only transport wheat straw but also spread grass seeds..."
Bao Xinyu: "The Urad grassland is also very useful. Plant protection drones are needed.”
Ji Zhuowen: “The ranch’s production capacity can be expanded, and the market should be able to absorb the increased production capacity.”
After a while, the group became lively.
Guo Yang sat in the car and read the news for a while, but no matter how much good news there was in the group, it could not change his schedule.
Xiangyang Lake: Fishing.
Who knows how long he held it in.
I planned to go ice fishing a few years ago, but I have been busy since I came back from Africa. After I came to Altay, I first went to see the status of the project.
Now it's time to have fun.
Even after some pavilions and verandas have been built, Xiangyang Lake is still a quiet lake, isolated from the world, with red willows and reeds hanging by the lake.
However, a sign was put up: Xiangyang Lake International Fishing Sports Base.
There were several people waiting outside the farm.
One of them is Chen Chao from Jinling Qianlong Security Company. His hair is combed back. As soon as he stands there, he exudes a fierce temperament.
It is different from most bosses in Guo Yang’s impression.
"Mr. Chen, I have long admired your name." When shaking hands, Guo Yang could feel the strength of his arms. He was a master of martial arts.
"I have to thank Mr. Guo for taking care of the business."
After some pleasantries, Guo Yang, Luo Xiu, Chen Chao and his followers boarded a luxury lure boat.
All kinds of equipment are available.
“Zhi Zhi, Mr. Guo, you have built a fishing sports base just for fishing. It’s a big deal.”
Chen Chao praised repeatedly. , he was originally a fishing enthusiast.
But for the sake of fishing, he invested 100 million yuan to build a base. This kind of skill made him stunned and strengthened his intention to maintain cooperation with Jiahe.
But after Guo Yang revealed his intention to cooperate in developing mercenaries in Africa, he hesitated.
“Boss Guo, the risk is very high, I have to think about it again.”
“Mr. Chen can think it over carefully.” Guo Yang smiled and arranged the fishing gear at the same time, “But Jiahe The need in this area is urgent.”
“We are a peace-loving country.”
"But there is no objection from above to doing it abroad." Guo Yang said with a smile: "On the contrary, the country is also providing a way out for veterans, and private security companies are developing rapidly."
"But this has exceeded the scope of security. Category. ”
Chen Chao didn’t know how to evaluate which security company would be involved in assassinations behind enemy lines, military training and other fields!
At this time, Guo Yang had already arranged the lure rod, but he still had to make this thing by himself.
“Well, I have made the situation very clear.”
Guo Yang stood beside the boat and adapted to throwing the rod. The bait was bionic bait.
Unexpectedly, within a few attempts, a fish would bite the hook.
“Hey, the hook is bitten so quickly.”
It was a pike, but the fish was not big. Guo Yang easily caught the fish and had no intention of releasing it.
The pike at this time is still quite delicious.
"Mr. Chen, stop standing here and go fishing!" The lake breeze picked up the hair of several people, and Guo Yang also said casually:
"Time waits for no one."
< br>Looking at Guo Yang lifting the slender body of the pike with a clip, Chen Chao also smiled brightly, "Fishing, fishing."
Early May is the most suitable time for pike fishing in Xiangyang Lake. The temperature is warm and comfortable. Therefore, several people caught fish very quickly.
After a while, the fish were put on the boat one by one.
"This pike is really good!"
"I didn't expect there to be such a good fishing base in the northwest."
"It's so fun, fishing for this fish is really fun!"
Having another five-striped black fish, Chen Chao felt that this was a fishing paradise.
Guo Yang caught as many fish as a few people, and he was also sweating a little at this time.
“It’s just that there haven’t been any big fish today!”
Since the Xiangyang Lake fishing base was built last year, many fish fry have been artificially released.
As a result, there are more types of fish, including zander, yarrow, burbot and other fish, but I have never caught a big fish with a body length of more than 1 meter.
I always feel a little unfinished.
As noon approached, several people had no intention of going back. There was a pot on the boat, and they planned to just cook the fish and eat it.
"I'll come, I'll come." After Luo Xiu finished killing the fish, Chen Chao volunteered to start cooking the fish.
The craftsmanship is really good.
Zander and Wudaohei are relatively delicious fish in themselves, and they grew up in a wild environment like Xiangyang Lake, so the taste is naturally not bad.
The four of them ate several fish in a row.
"Mr. Chen is very good at craftsmanship. Unlike me, I only know how to fish but not how to cook fish." Guo Yang said with a smile.
"Hahaha, the fish itself is delicious, it really deserves its reputation!" "Jiahe's security business is also closely watched by many people." After saying that, Guo Yang came to the stern of the boat and started throwing the pole.
Chen Chao was stunned.
Jiahe’s domestic security business orders are not large, but in Africa and the Middle East, its annual business income is close to 10 million yuan.
If you add the mercenary business, the guaranteed income is 20 to 30 million yuan a year.
If there are tasks, add them separately.
It turns out that he only wanted to be a security guard, but now Jiahe has other ideas.
During the afternoon fishing time, Chen Chao was a little distracted and naturally he didn’t catch many fish.
On the contrary, Guo Yang was in high spirits.
Continuously observe the water surface conditions and let the driver adjust the position and route, and naturally gain more.
At about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Yang was still throwing and retracting the pole frequently.
After sunset, Guo Yang observed that there seemed to be movement in the grass on the shore of the lake, and let the lure boat slowly drive past.
Then the bionic bait was thrown into the shallow water area and began to reel in the line.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out, opened its mouth and bit down the bionic bait.
Hit the hook!
The fishing line tightened suddenly!
Big fish are also jumping around in the water, making large ripples, and there is a lot of movement!
It is at least 1 meter long by visual inspection.
“I hit it, I hit it!”
Luo Xiu rushed over with a big net.
The movement quickly attracted Chen Chao's attention, and he came over belatedly, looking at Guo Yang in surprise as he was playing with the big fish.
This fish is so powerful!
Guo Yang gritted his teeth, leaned back half-way, and raised the lure pole upright.
“Another meter-level pike?” Luo Xiu asked.
“Again?” Chen Chao looked at him in surprise.
"Last year, the boss caught a meter-level pike in this lake, and that guy was really strong," Luo Xiu said.
Chen Chao is undoubtedly envious. As long as the fish reaches the meter level, the adrenaline rush during the fight will make people addicted.
Guo Yang took advantage of the fish's break to reel in the line and said at the same time: "It's not a pike."
"Then what other fish is so big?"
Guo Yang shook his head, the fish started to get energetic again, so he had to concentrate on walking the fish, his face soaked with sweat.
Big fish also gradually surfaced.
“Fuck, this fish is so big!”
“What kind of fish is this?”
Guo Yang also saw clearly what the fish looked like.
The cylindrical body is long and deep, the fish head is flat, and the wide mouth is split to reveal small and dense teeth.
"It's the Zheluo fish." Guo Yang said: "One of the most ferocious species of freshwater fish, small fish, snakes, frogs, rats and water birds are all within its diet."
Chen Chao Watch Looking at the struggling Zheluo fish, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's really ferocious!"
Luo Xiu asked: "Is it delicious?"
"It should be delicious."
"Just eat it at night?"
"What are you thinking about?" Guo Yang said speechlessly: "The wild Zello fish is an endangered species in the world, not to mention it is so big. It will be released later."
A few people felt a little regretful.
“Didn’t you catch some small ones? Just go to the farm in the evening and ask the chef to cook them for you to eat.”
The fish was gradually losing its luster. Guo Yang pulled the Zheluo fish closer to feel it. To how big it arrives.
The body length is at least over 1 meter and the weight is over 100 kilograms.
Because he was going to release the fish, Guo Yang didn't even try to get it on the boat. Such a big fish would take years to grow, so it wouldn't be nice if it was injured.
I just took a photo as a souvenir, and then released the fish lightly.
“It feels like a pity.” Luo Xiu said.
“Lure is an environmentally friendly fishing method. After fishing in the wild environment, native species should be released as soon as possible to maintain the ecological environment of the water body.” Guo Yang slowly began to close the pole.
Today is quite enjoyable.
Especially when he caught a large fish, he had never had such an experience.
Speaking of how to get to know the Zheluo fish, we have to start with the frequent appearances of the mysterious "lake monster" in Kanas in 2005.
There have been quite a few news reports in the past two years.
But Guo Yang knew that after subsequent investigations by many domestic and foreign scholars, they believed that it was the extinct giant slugfish, with a body length of 3 to 5 meters. Some professors even claimed that the largest one could reach 10 meters.
But at this moment, experts and professors have not yet figured out what the Kanas ‘lake monster’ is.
After landing, Guo Yang took stock of the fish caught. The total size of the fish, large and small, weighed more than a hundred kilograms.
Mainly fished by Guo Yang.
Among the others, Luo Xiu's fishing skills were average. He fished occasionally and mostly watched Guo Yang fishing.
While Chen Chao was fine in the morning, he was a little absent-minded in the afternoon.
After counting the fish, the chef took it to cook. After thinking for a long time, Chen Chao stood up and said:
"Mr. Guo, Qianlong did what you said."
"It wasn't Qianlong." Guo Yang stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "It was Jiahe and Qianlong who worked together."
< br>The two shook hands again, and Chen Chao also understood what Jiahe meant. It was impossible for Qianlong to control an armed force alone.
In the evening, the evening breeze from the Irtysh River brought coolness.
In the farm, the processed pike was put into skewers and grilled next to the charcoal fire.
While applying the secret seasoning, the chef introduced to everyone: "The best pike is grilled."
When the fish was baked, night fell, and the farm was brightly lit and filled with air. The aroma of grilled fish.
The pan-fried Wu Dao Hei and the steamed Jeluo fish were also served aside.
Blow the hot air, eat a few mouthfuls of freshly grilled pike, drink a few sips of Wusu, look up at the night sky in Altay, and recall the past few years.
The fireworks in the world are just like this.
——
No words for a night.
The two days of fishing in Xiangyang Lake may have been the most relaxing time for Guo Yang in the past year.
While fishing, I communicated with Chen Chao about overseas security matters.
The security business is still fully handed over to Qianlong, but the business involving mercenaries is led by Jiahe and executed by Qianlong, but it exists in a secret state.
This is what Chen Chao hopes to see.
Two days later, they left.
Busy days are here again.
On May 4, Guo Yang arrived at Aksu on the northwest edge of the Taklimakan Desert, where Jiahe’s ‘seafood’ breeding base is located.
Sturgeon, salmon, and snow crab raised in the snowy waters of the Tianshan Mountains can enter the dining tables of ordinary people when the autumn wind blows.
On the same day, I went to Jiahe Fresh’s apple production base in Aksu, which covers an area of about 3,000 acres and adopts a standardized production model.
There are also apple planting bases of the same size in Gansu, Shaanxi and Shandong.
Just want to convert into an organic orchard, there is still a long way to go.
On May 6, Guo Yang, Ning Xiaojing and others inspected the construction of a nursery base for vines. After sowing, vines need to be cultivated in the nursery for 3 to 4 years before being transplanted out of the nursery.
At the same time, we also held discussions with experts from the General Administration of Forestry and personnel from relevant regional departments.
In the next 5 to 10 years, more than 5 million acres of gallbladder trees will be planted on plains, ravines, hills, loess and exposed rocky wastelands in Gansu, Shaanxi, Xinjiang and surrounding provinces, turning deserts into oil fields.
On May 8, Guo Yang led his team to Hainan to investigate the location of the Jatropha base.
Hainan Jatropha has a short growth period. After planting, the fruit can be harvested in 10 months. However, CNOOC and CNOOC New Energy have taken the lead in selecting hundreds of thousands of acres of sites in Hainan.
Jiahe chose to move to Guangxi and Fujian.
Invest 500 million yuan in each of the two provinces to build 1 million acres of jatropha tree bases in each of the two provinces using arid, barren, degraded barren slopes, wasteland, and barren mountains.
In the future, the planting area will be expanded in Yunnan, southern Sichuan and other places depending on the situation.
Although Jiahe Dong is contracted for millions of acres, it is actually just one of many projects betting on biodiesel.
Experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have calculated that as long as the crude oil price is above US$50/barrel, biodiesel will have a cost advantage.
With crude oil prices soaring, biodiesel is generally optimistic.
Many companies end up investing.
In Hainan, in Ordos, in Chifeng, in Guizhou, in Henan, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in Aksu... various projects have been launched in a rush.
Recycling waste oil, planting gallnut trees, biodiesel for grain processing, planting jatropha, planting seaside mallows, etc.
As long as it has something to do with biodiesel, there will be people signing contracts with the government.
But it is still unknown how many projects will be implemented and successful in the end.
Guo Yang returned to the northwest after inspecting the biodiesel processing plant of Jiahe Cereals and Oils.
The headquarters base on the Gobi Desert has taken shape, and the green leaves of kenaf and sea buckthorn dot the desolate Gobi.
Young citizens in the two cities are always paying attention to the changes here.
Looking forward to a miracle in the Gobi.
But the miracle did not wait, but a strange rumor spread among the elderly citizens.
“It’s already mid-May, where are the catkins this year?”
"Hey, if you don't tell me, I haven't noticed it yet."
"Could it be that the willow tree has become a spirit?"
