Chapter 340 Wushaoling
“That’s not right!” Yu Qin also frowned, “When I listened to Li Hui’s report, it was clear that whitening was involved.”
Guo Yang again I looked at the research report and said, “It’s not mentioned here.”
“Antioxidants can also whiten skin.”
A cold voice came from outside the laboratory, which was strange for a moment at night. Creepy.
Guo Yang looked back and saw a girl in bright yellow clothes appearing outside the door. At this time, Yu Qin had already reacted.
“Li Hui!”
“It’s almost nine o’clock, haven’t you replied yet?”
“Mr. Yu, I’ll come back and get the drinks, let’s go I forgot to bring it with me." The woman named Li Hui shook the thing in her hand.
Guo Yang felt something was wrong for a moment. After taking a closer look, he was surprised to realize that it was a glass. What kind of drink was in the glass?
After a pause, Guo Yangcai asked: "Antioxidants can also whiten, does that mean the effect is better?"
Yu Qin introduced: "This is the chairman of the group company, Director Guo."
Li Huiming was surprised for a moment and said: "Antioxidants can promote skin metabolism and remove oxygen free radicals, thereby delaying aging, avoiding various skin problems, inhibiting subcutaneous pigmentation, and thus helping skin whiten."
Guo Yang understood, "How is the effect of this lavender extract?"
"Very good." Li Hui looked at the chairman's slightly dark skin and said, "But we still have to do it. Good sun protection.”
"Otherwise, no matter how good the whitening agent is, it will be useless."
"..."
Can those who work in agriculture avoid being exposed to the sun? Guo Yang’s move is also for the benefit of agricultural workers.
Seeing this, Yu Qin said, "Li Hui, go home first, and be careful when driving on the road."
After Li Hui left, Yu Qin said to Guo Yang again: "Boss, Li Hui usually has this kind of personality, but her ability to develop these more special products is outstanding.”
"Previously, drinks with mixed extracts of hops and valerian, as well as contraceptives to prevent willow catkins from falling, were developed by Li Hui."
Guo Yang nodded, "I hope we can develop something this time. A good product for sun protection and whitening is coming out.”
“It’s definitely no problem.”
I wandered around Quanwang’s R&D center for a while, and the main direction of R&D was plant extraction.
The in-depth application focuses on botanical pesticides and Chinese herbal plant feed additives.
However, Guo Yang took a look at Quanwang's revenue distribution and found that the bulk came mainly from the export of plant extracts, with botanical pesticides accounting for a small proportion.
Yu Qin said: "Plant extracts are generally used as a category of traditional Chinese medicine exports, and they have grown rapidly in the past two years."
"The national export volume last year was about 476 million US dollars, basically It is equivalent to traditional Chinese medicine preparations and traditional Chinese medicine drinks.”
In the West, especially Europe, there is a high degree of acceptance of botanical medicines.
So Chinese medicine basically enters the market as botanical medicine, but at least 89% of this market is in the hands of Japan and South Korea.
The domestic share is very small.
Fortunately, Jiahe's focus is not on this, and it does not plan to export a large amount of crude plant extracts.
Guo Yang asked: "Where are the raw material bases?"
"The reorganization of the pyrethrum bases in Honghe and Yuxi has been completed, and the payments owed to farmers have been settled. Normal production will be resumed this year. The neem trees in Panzhihua can also bear fruit this year.”
Yu Qin paused and said with a smile: “Qinghe’s neem trees can also be collected on a large scale this year, and the local rough processing factory has been built. , production costs can be reduced this year.”
Guo Yang summed it up.
That is, the types of biopesticides have increased, the cost has decreased, and they have begun to have a certain degree of competitiveness.
The two walked out of the door of the laboratory building.
The cold wind is howling.
“It’s a bit cold in the middle of the night!”
"This is the case in Lanshi." Yu Qin asked: "Boss, why don't you find a place to have some late-night snacks?"
"Okay, let's have something warm."
In Among the midnight snacks in the northwest, Lanshi undoubtedly occupies the top spot and is the hidden boss of the midnight snacks.
The Yellow River passes through the city, and late night snack spots are also found in every corner of the city.
The most unmissable thing is the barbecue, especially the kebabs here are stronger than the big meat skewers in the south.
Two thin and one fat, garnished with spicy pepper, it is satisfying.
Yu Qin slapped his head and said, "I forgot to ask Li Hui for some carrot juice drink. It would be perfect to pair with barbecue."
"King Quan also studied carrots? "
"Carrots also have high medicinal value. Tianhe's super red core happened to be very popular, so Li Hui tried it."
Yu Qin said: "Now it's done. I have accumulated about a dozen compound carrot juice drinks. At first, when everyone went out to eat barbecue, they liked to drink Huanghe beer, then it became Jiahe beer, and now it has become a carrot juice drink.”
"..."
Guo Yang felt that Quan Wang was really a little bit different.
"Well... we can do more joint research and development with Qingdao Nutrition and Health Research Institute in the future."
While having barbecue, the two chatted about the development of the industry for a while.
The global botanical medicine market is close to US$40 billion, but 80% of domestic plant extracts are exported and the prices are low.
For example, traditional Chinese medicine extracts and aniseed raw materials are exported to Japan and South Korea, and are processed into traditional Chinese medicine preparations and sold around the world.
Ginkgo leaf preparations, notoginseng saponins, salvia miltiorrhiza series, scutellarin... have grown extremely rapidly.
But the price... Ginkgo leaf extract went from US$500/kg in 1995 to only US$25/kg in 2008.
Homogenization, low technical content, and malicious competition... Quanwang Biology can only get out of this quagmire.
In particular, our country has many raw material qualities that are not available or rare in other countries, such as jujube, sea buckthorn, ground spirit, kenaf...
Among them, there are those that Jiahe alone controls.
This is the upper limit of King Quan.
This is true whether it is biopesticides or the nutritional and health industry.
Before departure the next day.
Guo Yang specially went to Quanwang R&D Center to get a few bottles of carrot juice drinks.
Sea buckthorn juice, wolfberry carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots, red dates and carrots, carrot milk...the types are really rich.
Guo Yang looked at Li Hui, who was already wearing a white coat, and asked, "Can carrot juice whiten your skin?"
"No." Li Hui resisted the urge to laugh, " In fact, it’s good for the boss.”
“I think so too”
…
Starting from Lanshi and heading to Minqin, the first important place we pass is Wushaoling.
This is the easternmost end of the Hexi Corridor, which can also be said to be the entrance. It is a natural barrier for the thousands of miles of Hexi Corridor. less The Wushaoling road section is also called "Ghost Pass" by large truck drivers.
But for Jiahe, this is also a line for comprehensive management of the Shiyang River Basin.
Niu Hulin has worked here for more than a year, and Guo Yangdu still has a vague impression of the name of his tutor's project: research on forest and grass vegetation restoration technology in the Qilian Mountains.
Wushaoling is an important geographical dividing line.
Lingnan is a monsoon area, and Lingbei is a non-monsoon area, which means that the southeast monsoon containing water vapor from the ocean cannot pass through.
But the ice, snow and precipitation on the ridge merge into the Jinqiang River in the south of the ridge, and the larger one is called Zhuanglang River and the Yellow River;
The trickle in the north of the ridge It merges into the Gulang River. After reaching the Wuwei Plain for irrigation and penetration, it flows downward from the underground. Some water emerges from the ground again and merges into the Flood River. The larger one is called the Shiyang River. It gathers in the Hong Kong River. The Yashan Reservoir eventually flows into Minqin’s crop fields.
In ancient times, the entire Qilian Mountains, including Wushaoling, had dense forests and luxuriant vegetation. Pines and cypresses were evergreen all year round, and everything was green.
The lush pine forests and white snow in the Qilian Mountains are known as "the source of life-support for Gan people".
The ecosystem here has been scientifically analyzed a long time ago.
“If there are no pine trees, the snow in winter will melt in a sudden surge in late spring, and the river will overflow and the canal cannot bear it, and there will be a disaster; in summer and autumn, the snow that melts twice will be weak, and the water will be small and low. If the canals cannot be used to irrigate the fields, there is a risk of extreme drought.
The livelihood of the Gan people depends entirely on the abundance of pine trees and the thick snow. If the trees are cut down and there is no snow, it will cause disaster to the people. They should be protected forever. .”
Therefore, Wushaoling is the water tower of arid Gulang, Wuwei Liangzhou and Minqin.
The guardians of this water tower are mountain pines and cypresses, and shrubs and grasslands that conserve water sources.
In order to protect the forest, there was a clear decree in ancient times: anyone who cuts down a tree privately will be guilty of murder.
But by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and later...the virtuous circle turned into a vicious circle.
Until, the vegetation on the barren mountains shrank, the glaciers retreated, the snow lines moved, and the water storage capacity of the water towers decreased.
Now in this area, the return of farmland to forest and grassland, afforestation of barren hills, renovated afforestation, and mountain closure for afforestation have begun to bear fruit, but it will take a long time for water sources to be restored.
After leaving Yongdeng and entering Tianzhu, Luo Xiu rarely spoke anymore and concentrated on driving.
Snow is the norm on Wushaoling, and the road is slippery after the snow. Some trucks with trailers on the mountain road crawl up the mountain like old oxen carrying a load.
Some people just couldn’t climb up, so they started to slide down.
It was slow all the way.
This also gave Guo Yang more observation time.
Grass, shrubs... Oh, Guo Yang suddenly remembered that barley is also grown here, but the altitude is too high.
To the north of Wushaoling, there are large areas of Qinghai spruce, Qilian juniper, and Chinese pine, but the main ones are artificially cultivated Qinghai spruce. I heard Niu Hulin say that the saplings planted are all five-year-old, and the survival rate of the saplings is not high when they are small.
Because the annual average temperature in Wushaoling is only -0.2℃.
Guo Yang vaguely saw sea buckthorn, meadowsweet, and honeysuckle in the bushes next to a small watershed.
Further forward, there is a large artificial pasture, filled with a large number of purple arrow peas and alfalfa No. 1.
Guo Yang then confirmed that this was the project area that Niu Hulin and others were previously responsible for.
Sea buckthorn, meadowfoam, honeysuckle, purple arrow pea, alfalfa No. 1, these are all varieties of alfalfa and Tianhe.
The best growing ones are purple arrow peas.
This was the first time Guo Yang really saw him on the plateau.
Compared with other leguminous grasses, purple arrow pea has stronger cold resistance and adaptability, can produce seeds, and has an inhibitory effect on poisonous weeds.
No matter which one, it is a great supplement to the alpine grassland.
Especially in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it can be used as pasture or natural grassland for reseeding, and its high protein content makes up for the energy needs of livestock.
Jiahe’s project in Wushaoling only accounts for a small part.
After descending Wushaoling, we entered Gulang.
Guo Yang unexpectedly saw a vicissitudes of the Wenguofeng tree on the roadside. It must be at least several decades old.
"Ding ding bell..."
While thinking about it, the phone rang, and Li Zhaohui actually called at this time.
"Mr. Guo, I have organized the bureau and invited a few friends from the entertainment industry, including Jackie Chan... The time is set for tomorrow night."
If you say Jackie Chan to me, I only know "duang".
Although Jackie Chan had already endorsed Bawang shampoo at this time, the media had not revealed that dioxane was contained in Bawang shampoo.
“duang” didn’t become popular either.
Hmm... Quanwang's shampoo will be available soon.
Guo Yang said: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I had something urgent and I went back to Long Province yesterday."
Li Zhaohui said with some displeasure: "Huh? Didn't we agree to form a bureau? I specially invited several coal bosses who are interested in agriculture this time."
Guo Yang was surprised for a moment. This guy is quite attentive.
"Next time, next time I will save the game. This time I really need to accompany important leaders for inspection."
"That's okay."
This Jin The richest man in the province is quite easy to talk to.
Guo Yang, the coal boss who was interested in agriculture, did have a lot of interest.
Now the coal industry in Jin Province is about to face major changes, and the closure, rectification, mergers and reorganization of coal mining enterprises are about to begin.
The coal bosses hold 400 billion in funds and don’t know where they are going. Even if 10% goes to agriculture, it is still a considerable amount.
Guo Yang thought of the Wenguan fruit tree.
Jin Province also has a long history of cultivating vines. There are many thousand-year-old vines in the Taihang Mountains.
It may be a good idea to let coal bosses switch to planting sorbitan fruit trees...
In fact, in the 1970s and 1980s, sorbitan fruit trees were planted in large numbers in the north.
It has been cut down and abandoned due to various reasons such as low yield and poor efficiency.
With the high crude oil prices in the past two years, the Wenguan fruit tree has become popular again.
When the price of crude oil plummets, it is expected to have to be shut down again. However, Jiahe’s gallbladder tree variety: Golden Snail, not only has a very high yield, but also is the best among woody edible oils.
In the future, in addition to biodiesel, it can also be developed as a high-end product of Jiahe Cereals and Oils.
The efficiency is not low.
When a large number of saplings come out of the nursery, it seems that we can really try it.
It doesn’t have to be limited to the northwest.
Is it possible to grow A. elegans in Wushaoling?
Ordinary sorbiferous trees are very cold-resistant and can survive the winter safely even in Harbin, where the lowest temperature is -44.4°C, but they cannot bloom and bear fruit.
Jiahe’s golden snails can be introduced and tried everywhere in the future. In this way, just selling seedlings can generate a large amount of income.
For the convenience of management, the Wenguan Fruit Tree Nursery was built in Zhangye. You can stop by and have a look when you return to Jiuquan.
There were a lot of phone calls along the way.
April was a busy time, and Qu Yang called, and the seed deck was revived!
Tianhe peppers and Tianyu No. 1, similar seeds have recently appeared on the market.
Fake seed production bases are scattered throughout Xinjiang Province, and the anti-counterfeiting team has been unable to investigate them at this time.
This is bound to have an impact on Tianhe's sales this year, but there is nothing we can do about it. There is always such a thing as decking, and we have made enough profits in the past two years.
It cannot change Tianyu’s dominance of the market.
But we cannot relax in the fight against counterfeiting. If we catch one, we will directly punish him to death. We will have to pay the price before we have any scruples.
After handling several work calls in a row, we have reached the boundary of Wuwei.
At this time Yang Guocheng called again.
"Boss, I have completed the resignation procedures. When will I leave for Laos?"
Guo Yang first talked about the situation here, and then said: "You will wait in the capital for two days. Stay with your family and set off from the capital when the time comes."
"Okay, do you want me to recruit a few more people?"
"Of course." Guo Yang paused and said in deep thought: "If we have time, we will study the information again, and we will try to win it at once."
"Then we also need to prepare agreement documents and so on."
< br>"I'll give you my contact information."
After communicating, Guo Yang sent Ning Xiaojing's phone number to Yang Guocheng.
Just for a moment, I could already see the Shiyang River.
The management of the Shiyang River Basin includes three aspects: water conservation in the upper reaches, management and dispatching in the middle reaches, and water-saving recovery in the lower reaches.
The upper reaches is Wushaoling, which conserves water sources and restores vegetation;
The middle reaches is Wuwei, which develops water-saving and efficient industries, but has not yet been seen;
the middle and lower reaches The dividing point is the Hongyashan Reservoir. The key area of agriculture and animal husbandry in Shahai is downstream, and the situation has improved a lot.
Guo Yang went directly back to Brother Minqin’s house.
The meeting with the big leader should be at Qingtu Lake. He doesn't need to worry about the middle and upper reaches for the time being.
After parking the car downstairs in the community, Guo Yang and Luo Xiu went upstairs carrying gifts.
Because I called in advance, when I arrived, the house was already filled with fragrance.
Guo Yang went to the kitchen and asked: "Sister-in-law, what did you cook? It smells so delicious!"
Tian Ying smiled and said: "I didn't do anything. You called in too hastily. , I made some haggis and cooked some mutton rice noodles. You loved eating this when you were a kid.”
"Hey, I'm also thinking about this bite now."
"Haha, I'll eat more later."
Maybe I was really nervous all the way, and my appetite did increase a lot, Guo Yang Both Luo Xiu and Luo Xiu drank a large bowl.
“It’s delicious, it still has the same taste!”
Tian Ying said: “You haven’t tasted it yet. The wheat seeds used in this flour are from Tianhe. Now in the county Everyone knows that there is a big boss in the local area.”
Guo Yang laughed twice. Seeing that his elder brother was a little bored, he chatted with him again.
Guo Shan said: "You have been busy all year round. When will it end? What are you doing to earn so much money? Now the county is looking for me to invest from time to time."
Guo Shan Yang thought for a while, "How about you two go on a trip and travel around the country while you are still young."
"This person is not familiar with this place..."
"Then That’s it.” Guo Yang made the decision and said, “I just want to buy a house. If you think it’s good, tell me.”
"This...this..."
"That's it."
"That's okay."
After lunch, we sat down for a while and stayed with you. After chatting for a while, Guo Yang was ready to leave, and by the way, he transferred another five hundred thousand to the two elders.
According to the style of the two elders, this money will be enough for a long time.
After leaving the county seat and heading north to the project area, the changes along the road are more obvious.
Two aqueducts extend from the Hongyashan Reservoir, and plants such as kenaf and pasture are planted on both sides of the channels.
Although it does not grow well, it is barely green.
During the dry season, there should be no water in the canal, but maybe the big boss is coming. It is obvious that the reservoir has started delivering water several days in advance.
Making the condition of the vegetation better.
When we arrived at the project department in Shahai, everything was still green, and the surrounding Haloxylon ammodendron forest was also sprouting buds, which was a good sign.
"Boss, you really picked a good day to come here. The Cistanche deserticola this year is amazing!"
