Chapter 316 Travel
Early morning.
The powerful biological clock wakes Guo Yang up on time.
Even though I drank so much beer, I didn’t feel much discomfort.
I don’t know whether it’s the wine that’s better or the health that’s better.
But he still made himself a cup of kenaf honey water. As soon as the mild honey water entered his intestines, the fatigue in his body further dissipated.
He estimated that Ding Lei and others would sleep a little longer today, so he went to do morning exercises for a while.
And Guo Yang doesn't plan to accompany him throughout the whole journey today. There is no need for him to go to some cultural attractions in the city. He can just find someone to take him with him.
The company has a lot of things going on!
When he arrived at the company, all the employees he met actively greeted him, but the words of greeting changed.
"Boss, you sing so well."
"It's so good, boss, even your song can be played on loop in the company."
It hasn't stopped all morning. Pass.
As soon as we arrived at the office, Li Yan, the manager of the administration department, came over and asked if the chairman would like to sing a song at this year’s annual meeting?
This spreads really fast.
However, Guo Yang did not agree to sing at the annual meeting. It is too early to discuss that now.
On the contrary, he asked again about the donation of the school, especially the supervision of the quality of the project. If there was a quality problem, he rejected it completely.
“House construction projects are all cooperated with Dadi Company, and the quality is strictly controlled.”
“Well, keep an eye on it, especially indicators such as seismic strength.”
“Okay.”
After some explanation, Guo Yang was ready to start processing the documents.
But when I turned on the computer, I found that the group building had already been built, and all the groups were talking about the video last night.
“As the saying goes, any boss who doesn’t want to be a singer is not a good boss. Our boss is really capable.” That's great."
"No, no, no, the boss is injecting real feelings. It's all emotion, no technique."
Qu Yang: "Boss, you deceived me so hard. I haven't heard you sing for so many years. Every time I talk about going to KTV, it's like hiding from the plague."
Xie Shijie: " You should thank me, not me, for the boss has kept everyone in the dark until now."
Lu Hanbin: "I can tell that the boss is determined to win the West Lake Wetland and the Kumtag Desert."
Yan Qun: "I heard that hop picking has started? The beer last night was home-brewed."
"I guess the boss is already silently watching the group messages at this time."
There are praises, denunciations, and emotions, and there are also people like Lu Hanbin who are inexplicably passionate.
Of course, there are also people who are thinking about beer. Last night, word spread about the beer brewed by Jiahe using self-grown hops.
The taste and aroma are amazing.
Many subsidiaries are asking when they can supply it internally.
Among them, Yan Qun is the leader. This period of seed production is also a critical period, and technical personnel are either stationed in their own bases.
Or they would visit villages and households in Zhangye and other places to guide seed production, and at the same time cooperate with the anti-counterfeiting team to get a feel for the situation in advance.
In hot weather, a bottle of cold beer is indispensable at night.
In short, Guo Yang feels pretty good.
Also showed a little face.
Maybe in the future when netizens recall the big brother singing, he will have a place for him.
Among the big guys with outrageous painting styles, his is definitely a breath of fresh air.
After regaining his composure, Guo Yang reviewed what he needed to do recently.
The Dunhuang West Lake inspection is the most recent.
The second step is to organize meetings for each branch to make adjustments or speed up industrial development.
Then there is the game of Jiahe Grain and Oil in the international capital market. Once the funds are withdrawn, large-scale ecological restoration projects will be launched one after another.
The four to five million acres of saline-alkali land in Jinta and Wuyuan currently provide very limited natural energy.
Currently, most of them come from Qinghe Agriculture, Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry in the Asafoetida Desert, and the Gobi surrounding the headquarters. In addition, the falcons on the Urad Grassland have performed well in the past two years and should be able to provide a lot of energy.
In general, the speed of accumulating energy is getting faster and faster.
But if the next project is to proceed smoothly, a lot of unconventional plants are needed.
Alfalfa No. 1 has a red level of more than 500 points of natural energy. In extreme environments such as deserts and Gobi, it can play a very limited role.
Sea buckthorn and kenaf are also not enough. Although they can conserve water, watering in the seedling stage is very troublesome.
The desert and Gobi are so large, where does so much water come from?
We cannot live without water, but we cannot completely rely on water, which places higher demands on plants.
Guo Yang’s mind stayed in the seed store for a moment.
As of now, another 2595 points have been accumulated.
Through the recorded data, Guo Yang estimated that the current monthly reading in summer is around 1,500 points.
This is an increase of about 400 points compared to 1,100 points per month last summer.
But, the most important thing is that the cumulative consumption has reached 10183 points.
It means unlocking the highest level orange seed, starting at 1,000 points, with no upper limit.
There are also fixed varieties of orange-level seeds available for purchase.
For example, Guo Yang's extravagant goal was to produce 2,000 kilograms of soybean seeds per mu, worth 9,999 points.
If you save all the energy in the months from April to September, you only need to add a few cents to buy it.
The same is true for other seeds with super-excellent traits.
However, super-excellent seeds are limited, and more depends on searching for sufficiently strong germplasm resources.
Without good germplasm genes, even if you have the energy, it will be difficult to cultivate the highest grade seeds.
Therefore, Tianhe must participate in the Kumtag Desert scientific expedition organized by the national team in October.
The more resources of psoma plants, the better.
The seed collection team outside also needs to return two teams.
After sorting out his thoughts, Guo Yang started to make phone calls one by one to arrange everything.
Then I took the time to look at the information about Dunhuang West Lake and confirm if there were any problems with the itinerary.
We will leave for Dunhuang early tomorrow morning and it will take about four or five hours to drive.
After arriving in Yangguan Town, you may split up with Ding Lei and others.
At noon, the NetEase team, after touring Jiuquan and Jiayuguan City, arrived at the Jiahe office again.
The euphemistic name is to provide materials for inspection of pig raising.
In fact, it is just a waste of money.
"This office is considered normal."
"Look over there, what are those flowers?"
"Those flowers are a little abnormal."
"Wait a minute , what’s that in the office? It looks a bit like a pepper to me?”
“Damn, there are a lot of strange vegetables in this garden.”
To be honest, apart from the unique flower border design, there is nothing new in this old office park.
But the Pig Farming Group watched with great interest, as if they had discovered a new world.
In particular, Kaixin Farm vegetables, which are popular on the Internet, were moved into the office by Jiahe and became a beautiful scenery.
Mini tomatoes, colorful peppers, cherry radishes, sweet strawberries, small blueberries, and even a bean sprouts and a pot of lettuce.
These vegetables and fruits, originally grown in vegetable gardens and orchards, have entered life with colorful and varied fruits after careful cultivation by Tianhe Academy of Sciences.
While netizens are still clicking their mouse to mechanically steal vegetables from the Internet, Jiahe's white-collar workers have become farmers, enjoying fun and health among vegetables and fruits.
Some members of the NetEase Pig Farming Group chatted with the office out of nowhere.
“The peppers in this pot are growing really well.”
“Can these tomatoes be eaten?”
“This is a carrot. Can carrots also be used as potted plants? ”
"Don't your consciences hurt?"
"Do you know how late I have to stay up late at Happy Farm to worry about the food being stolen?"
"It's really too much. Do you have any seeds that you can share, beauty? I will plant some when I go back to NetEase."
"How do you grow this? Oh, cabbage, amaranth, and butter lettuce are easier to grow, just like playing games. Is it the same? Just sow the seeds and water them?”
In the office,
Ding Lei and Wang Xunfang also felt novel.
“This is not like an office, but more like a novel vegetable garden farm.”
Wang Xunfang said while looking at Mr. Guo’s office environment.
Starry borage, noble artichokes, chocolate-colored bell peppers, and pea-like grass.
There are two thick ears of corn cobs hanging on the wall behind the boss's chair.
"Really?"
Guo Yang smiled and said: "I feel it's quite ordinary."
"It does look ordinary from the outside, but after walking into the park, you can feel it everywhere The meticulous design is very characteristic of an agricultural company.”
“My wife is right,” Ding Lei said with a smile, “I am looking forward to Jiahe’s new headquarters even more.”
“ Lao Ding, what do you think about replacing some of these potted plants in our yard?”
"Not bad! If I want to eat fresh vegetables in the future, I can grab two handfuls at any time."
Ding Lei smiled and said: "I'm really hungry after shopping all morning. Let's go to Jiahe Canteen. "Look, don't disturb Mr. Guo's office."
Guo Yang saw Ding Lei and Wang Xunfang commenting and said that people were unhappy.
Aren’t you here to inspect pig farming?
Why did you focus on potted plants for a while, and now go to Jiahe Canteen?
NetEase’s canteen is a pig factory!
The time is also stuck very accurately.
It was lunch time, so Guo Yang had no choice but to lead Ding Lei and his wife to the canteen.
Jiahe’s cafeteria decoration is not as magnificent as that of large companies, but it is large enough and has an extremely rich menu.
Bright tomatoes, emerald green cucumbers, emerald-like lettuce, and all kinds of tempting delicacies, healthy and delicious.
The only thing missing is seafood, which makes Ding Lei, who likes seafood, quite regretful.
I then remembered what I heard last night, that Jiahe also has a project to raise seafood in the northwest. I really saw a lot during this trip.
Although the seafood is not yet on the market, Guo Yang recommended several vegetable varieties from Tianhe to Ding Lei, Wang Xunfang and others.
Super red carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage sums, etc.
After the big fish and meat last night, today I have a plate of cool, fresh and delicious fruits and vegetables, which makes me feel comfortable. .
During the lunch break, the group also harvested different types of fruit and vegetable seeds.
These are some gardening seeds cultivated by Tianhe Academy of Sciences.
Compared with grain crops, horticultural seeds are easier to bear fruit and easier to have their varieties approved and registered.
Many researchers at the Tianhe Academy of Science, which has sufficient staff, have also changed their strategies and chosen the horticulture track.
Tianhe’s flower seeds are on the rise, and vegetable seed cultivation is not weak either.
Bi Qiang originally worked in pepper breeding at the Institute of Vegetable Sciences of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and he was happy to see these changes.
Because R&D funds are too abundant.
If you don’t spend it and put it in your account, it will only become devalued by inflation.
… During the lunch break, Guo Yang found out that the NetEase Pig Farming Group had a good rest last night and did not suffer from the fatigue caused by a hangover.
This made Guo Yang realize that the wine might be really good, or it might have something to do with the red maple honey.
But this also made Ding Lei and others get up early and go to the scenic spot, and they browsed through everything in the morning.
The group of people were waiting for Mr. Guo’s arrangements.
“How about going to see the Populus euphratica forest in the Jinta Desert in the afternoon, then going to the farm in Jiahe, having dinner at the farm in the evening, and looking at the starry sky in the Gobi when we come back?”
“Okay? , just listen to Mr. Guo’s arrangements.”
Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid of traveling with others because he often had different ideas.
Like this, it’s good if one person makes detailed strategies and arrangements, and the others follow without thinking.
Take a rest.
Guo Yang then set off with a group of people.
Maybe it was the aftermath of the song last night, but the group showed a strong interest in the Jinta Populus euphratica forest.
Walking in the forest, every Populus euphratica tree bears the traces of time and is in various shapes. The desert warrior lives up to its name.
The rippling blue waves of Jinbo Lake and the Populus euphratica forest complement each other beautifully. The beach under your feet is soft and delicate, and the sun shines through the sparse clouds with golden light.
Ding Lei turned into a photographer again and took stunning photos one after another.
While taking pictures, I said that there is no need for this trip.
After visiting the Populus euphratica forest, Guo Yang took people to the alfalfa pasture.
In the short half month after the rain, alfalfa has grown wildly, and its leaves are lush and green. There is no need to exaggerate how beautiful it is.
The refreshing summer breeze blows in the face, water birds play in the canal, insects chirp and butterflies fly on the grass, and occasionally a small squirrel jumps in front of you.
Ding Lei also showed off his cooking skills when making dinner. The ingredients were fruits and vegetables picked by himself, all of which were of first-class quality.
Ding Lei does have two brushes.
For the first time, Guo Yang felt that vegetable salad could be so delicious.
In addition to beer, the alcoholic drinks also include alfalfa juice.
This is a product developed by Guo Yang after he returned from California.
Alfalfa No. 1 never disappoints.
Although it is not the most delicious time in spring, the taste of alfalfa juice is still very good.
Wang Xunfang sipped the green alfalfa juice and said with a smile: "After drinking this, I believe what Mr. Guo said last night, herbal hops."
"Haha, do I sound like I'm bragging?"
......
"You're going to Dunhuang, but not going to Crescent Moon Spring with us?"
"Yes. ." Guo Yang said.
“What project to inspect?”
"West Lake Wetland is a national nature reserve. Jiahe wants to see if there is any opportunity to make some investments."
"Invest in what?"
Ding Lei looked like he was asking the question, Guo Yang couldn't help but respond.
“Ecotourism, as well as some scientific experiments on animals and plants, um, maybe some ecological restoration projects, to see if there is a chance to open a channel to Lop Nur.”
“It can still be reached Lop Nur?" Ding Lei asked in disbelief.
No one knows the name of Lop Nur. It is called the Sea of Death. '
"Well, the environment is quite bad and people are suffering a bit, so you better not go there. It's also good to go to Dunhuang to see the Crescent Moon Spring."
"Didn't you say that the day before yesterday? Is the Crescent Moon Spring about to shrink? ”
“You can still see it, and there are many other scenic spots, such as Mogao Grottoes, Leiyin Temple...there are eight scenic spots in Dunhuang that you can see.”
Guo Yang looked like he was thinking about you.
"Is it far?"
"Not sure, it may pass through no man's land." Guo Yang pondered for a moment and said, "We will probably separate at the Yangguan ruins."
" Are you going there to inspect pig farming? You must have said that there is a desert in the West Lake."
Ding Lei pretended to think for a while, "We will go with you!"
“You must learn how to raise pigs in the desert.”
Guo Yang blinked. When did I say I wanted to raise pigs there?
Slander me!
No matter what Guo Yang said, Ding Lei decided to act together with Jiahe.
Even others mean the same thing.
Going to see those cultural relics and historic sites is not as fun as following Mr. Guo?
Especially when I heard that I had to cross no man's land, and Jiahe had prepared several vehicles, security guards, and experts. If I missed this time, where could I find a better opportunity?
Guo Yang had no choice but to agree.
Waiting through the dim light and starry sky in the desert at night and returning to his residence, Guo Yang once again thought about whether the company had missed anything.
It may take several days to go out this time.
……
Early the next morning.
Eight off-road vehicles and two pickup trucks set off from Jiuquan and headed west.
As soon as we set off, everyone was still in high spirits, and the intercom was full of laughter.
After about a few kilometers out of Jiayuguan City, Ding Lei’s question came over the intercom again.
"Mr. Guo, what's planted there on the left? It looks weird, a bit like a pattern."
Guo Yang took a glance and said: "That is the Chinese Dragon Forest. It is composed of many red willow and Elaeagnus trees. When viewed from a high altitude, it looks like the word 'dragon'."
"Dragon? Can't you see it? Like? What’s the point?”
“Did you see the tall rammed earth platform on the cliff in front of you?”
“By the river.”
“That is the first pier and abutment of the Great Wall, which is also the beacon tower. This is the first pier and abutment at the westernmost end of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty.”
"What's the relationship between the two?"
Guo Yang once again acted as the explanation.
Jiayu Pass is known as the most majestic pass in the world. Its real starting point is the first pier standing on the bank of Tuolai River, on a cliff more than 80 meters high.
The first pier is located at the foot of the towering Qilian Mountains, on the vast Gobi desert dotted with camel thorns and splendens.
At first glance, it looks solemn and vast.
The layers of traces of rammed loess are engraved on its body, recording hundreds of years of swords, swords, and smoke.
The Chinese people call themselves the descendants of the dragon, and call the Great Wall "the giant dragon that winds its way across the land of China."
Then, where the dragon rises, there must naturally be a "Chinese Dragon Forest".
The Millennium Year of the Dragon is approaching.
Jiayuguan adopts the cursive "dragon" character written by the famous calligrapher Huai Su in the Tang Dynasty.
At the foot of the Great Wall, the word "dragon" is written in thick ink, one thousand meters long and eight hundred meters wide, covering an area of thousands of acres.
This is the largest Chinese character ever written on the earth.
In order to make this huge "dragon" appear forever on the northwest land, tree trenches were dug in 2001, and tamarisk and angustifolia, unique tree species in the west, were planted along the strokes of the "dragon".
Nowadays, the "Century Dragon Forest" is lush and green, forming another Gobi oasis, guarding each other with the "First Pillar of the Great Wall".
After listening to Guo Yang’s explanation, the intercom was silent for a short while.
The group of people looked at the desolate Gobi Desert at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, and seemed to experience the heroic spirit of Lord Grim, who was lying drunk on the battlefield, and who had fought several battles since ancient times.
In the poems of the past, the majestic momentum of "the clear stream begging for help against the dangerous wall, the great mountains and rivers breaking up the atmosphere of war. The armored glaciers heard the fighting, and the flags and the rising sun danced around the Kun" vaguely emerged in front of our eyes.
Guo Yang could not understand the mood of everyone.
He only knew that this was an earthen platform.
The Chinese Dragon Forest is just a cultural symbol.
The Tuolai Riverside, which was once lush with water and grass and infested with hares, has disappeared. Today, only camel thorns, splendens and other tenacious plants guard the Gobi.
Perhaps because the Great Wall is winding eastward, everyone is not very interested in the next step.
It may also be related to the desolate Gobi desert along the way. No matter how magnificent the scene is, it will just be like that.
Guo Yang also took advantage of his free time to explain some of the things he had thought of last night.
Establishing a travel agency is one of them.
He discovered that Jiahe actually had a lot to see and play, and there should be a lot of people interested.
It wasn’t until we passed through the Gobi Desert and reached Yumen, where there were more farmlands, that the intercom started to sound again.
It is midsummer and the fields are colorful.
The oil sunflower is in full bloom, smiling in full bloom; the green alfalfa and oats cover a vast expanse; chamomile and fennel are blooming with tiny flowers, and colorful butterflies are flying in the field.
But what Ding Lei cares about is hops.
"Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo, is that a hop plantation? I saw it, and there are still people picking it."
"Yes, that's hops."
"It's really spectacular. !"
Guo Yang said: "That's the land of Longxing Nongken Yinma Farm. If you are not in a hurry, you can go and have a rest."
"You can go there when you come back! ”
Do you want to go back to Jiuquan? Guo Yang was silent, NetEase doesn't need you anymore?
Or do you want to be like Zhang Chaoyang and run a Buddhist business? This is not like the style of a pig factory!
“There is an airport in Dunhuang.”
“Have you picked up the specialties yet?”
“I can send them to you.”
"I want to pick it myself."
Listening to the two bosses bargaining over the intercom, the people in several cars couldn't help laughing.
Guo Yang fell into self-doubt. Was Ding Lei led astray by him, or was he already such a person?
The happy boy of the Internet turns out to be like this.
Guo Yang looked at the beer garden again. The hops stand was too high, the planting management model was too complex, and there was no supporting small machinery. It could no longer keep up with the development of the times.
The farmers still don't know it, or they don't have suitable varieties to renew the plantations.
After the reaction and updating of the plantation, the brewery has completed process transformation and is less dependent on hops.
At that time, even though the transformation of planting technology was completed, the market had shrunk significantly.
…
After leaving Yumen, we entered Guazhou, and a ‘sea’ in the Gobi Desert came into view.
Guo Yang sighed: "We have arrived at the Shuangta Reservoir."
The Shuangta Reservoir in the middle reaches of the Shule River can not only generate electricity, but also provide irrigation for large areas of farmland.
Niu Hulin, who was in the same car, said: "Actually, in order to curb the ecological deterioration of the West Lake grassland, releasing ecological water from the upstream is also a method."
"Shule River, Dang River, and The Yinhaji Party and others can use it to jointly complete the task of water replenishment."
This is a plan developed by Niu Hulin and others during this period.
Because Jiahe has plants such as Hanhai kenaf and sea buckthorn that can conserve water resources.
Many difficult water delivery technical problems can be easily solved.
