Chapter 343 Trusteeship; Let’s talk about fallow again
“Maybe it’s a new variety.” Lu Hanbin mused: “After cooking porridge twice, I feel that my energy is stronger.”
Zhuang Zheng muttered: "Is it possible that we can still fight all night?"
Lu Hanbin joked: "Haha, Lao Zhuang, why don't you try it tonight?"
"That's right. No need." Zhuang Zheng smiled and said, "My wife is coming to see me in two days."
"..."
After chatting for a while, several people also joined the busy army.
The coal boss really came to sign the contract.
The management rights of 30,000 acres of Haloxylon ammodendron forest have been subleased for 8 years.
Cistanche deserticola seeds are sown once and can be harvested continuously for 4 to 5 years, and 8 years can be counted as a cycle.
Of course, if the intermediate returns are good, you can sow seeds in advance.
The rent is paid once a year, and is paid first and used later. Lease renewal is given priority. Judging from this situation, the coal bosses plan to start counting from this spring.
There is still enough time to sow Cistanche deserticola now.
The coal boss also brought his subordinates. Zhuang was busy confirming the terms with the professional managers, while Guo Yang and Lu Hanbin led the coal boss into the Haloxylon ammodendron forest.
Except for the one million acres contracted two years ago with trees less than three years old, the other hundreds of thousands acres of Haloxylon ammodendron and tamarisk, etc. all meet the standards.
The first 50,000 acres of Cistanche deserticola have entered a period of high yield.
But there are some that are not yet parasitic.
Under the careful protection of the sand sea, this Haloxylon ammodendron forest is also neat and uniform, and the new spores make people happy to see them.
The coal bosses discussed for a while, and finally Li Yong came out and said: "Mr. Guo, Mr. Lu, this is the only one."
Guo Yang nodded and asked: "Mr. Li, Are you working together? ”
"Yes, and no." Li Yongcai said: "Five companies have confirmed to invest in the Cistanche deserticola industry."
"To tell you the truth, our city's coal mining circle has privately established a coal enterprise transformation Everyone in the team is looking for a way out, but they can’t rush into one project.”
Guo Yang sighed: “Partnership business is not easy to do!”
“It’s not a partnership, it’s better to run it separately. "Li Yongcai said: "It's just that we can't find management talents for a while, so we need more help from Sha Hai."
Guo Yang thought for a moment, "Do you need hosting services?"
Li Yongcai looked confused.
Several bosses who are interested in the Cistanche deserticola industry also came together.
Guo Yang said: "The literal meaning of trusteeship is that farmers or enterprises and other entities pay a certain fee to entrust all or part of the operations of farming, planting, prevention, and harvesting in agricultural production to cooperatives or agricultural services companies. Completed. ”
“At present, this kind of management method is more common in grain-producing areas in Shandong Province and Northeast China.”
“…”
Coal bosses feel a bit confused.
After thinking about it for a long time, someone suddenly said: "It means that Shahai subleased the operating rights to us first and collected a rent, and then we paid a hosting fee to Shahai. Shahai Gang We operate and manage, and the final output belongs to us?”
“That’s roughly the principle.” Guo Yang said with a smile: “The custody fee can be a fixed amount, or it can be a dividend.”
< br>"Believe me, it is cheaper to leave it to Shahai to manage it than to manage it yourself."
This form of trusteeship has become very common in later generations.
For example, in the case of rice, some cooperatives specialize in the process from paddy field preparation to rice transplanting, and contract workers and package rice seedlings and other materials.
Farmers or farms only need to pay about 300 yuan, and they can do nothing until the rice transplanting is completed.
This cost is generally cheaper or more expensive than raising seedlings, preparing fields, and transplanting rice seedlings by farmers themselves, and farmers have a high degree of acceptance.
But the most used ones are local governments. Some unfinished or official agricultural projects are mostly maintained in a trusteeship situation. Some unfinished projects have even been revived as a result.
But now, people’s awareness of this form is very low, and coal bosses may not necessarily accept it.
Guo Yang thought for a while and said, "You can let Shahai be managed for a while."
Li Yongcai hesitated and said, "What about the cost?"
The eyes of the coal bosses Guo Yang Very familiar, this is the anxiety that leek feels when he is worried about being cut.
Guo Yang smiled and said: "If you don't harvest it now, wait until there is output in three years. How about Shahai participating in the planting process and sharing dividends?"
"Of course, if you regret it halfway, don't want to For hosting, the fee will have to be charged.”
Li Yongcai: "Let's discuss it further."
When the coal boss went to discuss it, Lu Hanbin asked quietly: "Boss, is this really good?"
"I'm telling them to be less "It's a detour." Guo Yang said: "Compared with their own exploration, Shahai is obviously more stable."
To Lu Hanbin's surprise, after discussion, the coal boss agreed to hand over the production process to Shahai. plan.
The trusteeship fee will be paid after three years, which means that Shahai will participate in the Cistanche deserticola planting process and share dividends after three years.
In this way, the coal boss only needs to pay a small amount of management costs during the three-year growth period.
Although Shahai cannot get custody fees for the time being, it does receive 30 million yuan in annual rent for investment in production management...
Lu Hanbin seemed to smell the smell of capital for a moment.
What if Shahai runs away...
Hey, what are you thinking? The cost of planting trees in Shahai in the early stage is much higher than the investment of the coal boss.
It's totally not worth running away just for these tens of millions.
After determining the scope of the Haloxylon ammodendron forest, the group rushed back to the factory area of Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, and then had to adjust the contract terms.
The series of changes stunned Zhuang Zheng, who was responsible for signing the contract.
And this news soon spread throughout the sand industry investment promotion meeting that was still in progress.
The coal bosses paid the rent, got something, but seemed to get nothing.
However, Shahai's custody service is also very confident. The production and management expenses for the past three years have been paid in advance, and the custody fees and dividends are bound.
What does this mean?
This shows that Shahai is very confident in this industry!
I am sure this project has a good future.
Some people are pondering the data provided by Shahai two days ago: the domestic market demand for dry goods is 3,000 tons, but the supply is only 150 tons, which is a huge potential.
And the coal bosses changed too quickly one day before and after. What happened?
Why do coal bosses like to hold a piece of fresh Cistanche deserticola in their mouths?
Because the coal boss and Sha Hai reached a cooperation, many onlookers inquired about the inside story.
Then, more people tried taking Cistanche deserticola orally. This caused Shahai's product sales to skyrocket again.
At the same time, industrial investment promotion is also becoming more and more smooth.
Cistanche deserticola, licorice, honeydew melon, feed and other sand industry projects have been implemented continuously.
Lu Hanbin said: "Boss, the Haloxylon ammodendron forest is not enough for subletting. Some companies are interested in the one million acres that have been planted in the past two years."
Theoretically, as long as Haloxylon ammodendron is planted, When the host survives, the shuttle can start sowing seeds, but the yield is not good.
Guo Yang muttered: "We can't open our mouths. The main purpose is to let the masses participate in sand control and prevention."
Lu Hanbin: "I think so too. Now Minqin, Gu Lang and others In this area, many agricultural, forestry and animal husbandry professional desertification control cooperatives have been established.”
"In just a few days, more than 800,000 acres of barren sand have been contracted or auctioned to dozens of farmers."
"In addition, the Babusha Forest Farm also came today and wanted to buy a batch of seedlings and Cistanche deserticola seeds. . ”
Gulang is also a county under the jurisdiction of Wuwei. It is in the south of Minqin and faces the Tengger Desert. One-third of the entire county is also covered by desert.
The story of the six old men in Gulang Babusha sand control is also famous.
In 1981, when the land was contracted to each household, the six old men of Babusha stepped forward to contract Babusha to set up a forest farm, and began a long journey of desertification control, planting three to five thousand acres of trees every year.
In the 1990s, Sha Erdai took over the shovel.
Today, the total area of forest areas and deserts is nearly 210,000 acres.
Guo Yang asked: "How much desert do they still have that they have not managed?"
"About twenty to thirty thousand acres." Lu Hanbin said: "The main reason is that the income from the sand sea makes them greedy. ”
“There was a period of time in the 1990s when there was no ecological subsidy for desertification control, and Babusha almost collapsed”
“In recent years, relying on the compensation for the West-East Oil and West-East Gas Pipeline projects, as well as funds for ecological public forest afforestation, life has barely gotten better.”
“But their own hematopoietic ability is very poor, and their own hematopoietic ability is very poor. The income mainly comes from raising chickens in the desert."
Guo Yang asked: "Do they have this technology?"
Cistanche deserticola is not difficult to grow, but it is not easy to achieve good results.
Cultivation and collection must have GAP certification, and pharmaceutical manufacturing must have GMP certification.
Only in this way can the authenticity and high quality of the medicinal materials be guaranteed.
In addition, whether the content of pesticide residues and heavy metals meets standards is also a necessary condition for products to enter the international market.
Even Shahaitou has gone through several years of ups and downs before exploring its own planting technology model.
Lu Hanbin shook his head, "Maybe they just want to try it, but they want to buy new varieties of seeds."
"This year we plan to reserve 5,000 acres of seeds, and there will definitely be enough seeds. What I think It’s for sale.”
"Then sell it." Guo Yang said with a smile: "You are familiar with this aspect. According to your thoughts, the Ministry of Agriculture is going to investigate the Jiuquan fallow pilot project, and I have to rush back."
Lu Hanbin nodded, " It is estimated that Babusha Forest Farm cannot buy many seeds.”
The price of Cistanche deserticola seeds is not cheap. It is common for wild seeds collected in the wild to cost tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram.
This is also one of the key tasks of the transformation of Shahai agriculture and animal husbandry.
Guarantee the source of seeds.
Cistanche deserticola seeds are not only expensive, but they are also a hot spot for fake seeds.
Without high-quality and reliable Cistanche deserticola seeds, it is impossible to develop the Cistanche deserticola planting industry.
Generally speaking, the older the Haloxylon ammodendron tree is, the seed production will double.
Currently, in the 3-year-old Haloxylon ammodendron forest in Shahai, the yield of Cistanche deserticola seeds per mu ranges from a few kilograms to more than ten kilograms.
But even so, the potential future profits are high.
The seed production base of Shahai is almost ready, as are the picking beds for hosts such as Haloxylon ammodendron.
As long as the industry becomes more popular, there will definitely be no problem in making a quick buck, and it will also provide stable income in the future.
…
With the coal boss taking the lead, Minqin’s sand industry investment promotion went smoothly.
Various cooperatives and small businesses have sprung up.
The Haloxylon ammodendron forest in Shahai that meets the sublease conditions has also been contracted out, and tens of millions of yuan can be recovered from the annual rent.
The products also sold out.
Especially for new varieties, whether they are freshly harvested or processed products, demand exceeds supply.
Actually, it’s just that the mining speed can’t keep up.
For varieties cultivated through seed stores, the upper limit is 1,000 kilograms of seeds.
Usually, the amount of seed used to parasitize one acre of Cistanche deserticola is about 20g, which brings the area inoculated with the new variety in Shahai to 25,000 acres.
In the first year, it is not a problem to produce 10 kilograms of dry goods per mu in spring. Excluding the 5,000 acres reserved for seeds, that is still 200,000 kilograms.
(PS: The ratio of dry to fresh food is 6~10:1) A careful calculation shows that the average selling price of dry goods is about 300 yuan/catty. Adding in the harvest in autumn, the yield per mu is more than 20 catties per mu in a year. Annual income of six to seven thousand yuan?
The price of rough-processed slices is about 600 yuan/catty, which is 12,000 yuan/mu.
If it is a deeply processed product, then it's okay. Didn't Mr. Guo say that Shahai's initial income per mu can only be 1,000 to 3,000 yuan?
I lost it.
This has doubled!
When everyone approached Shahai to inquire, they were told that this was a new variety and the price would have been higher.
Coupled with the swarm of coal bosses raising prices, prices have risen sharply...
At this point,
everyone’s last concerns have been dispelled.
Get the land! Get the land! Get the land!
Suddenly, the Minqin investment team felt the madness of the market, and high-quality sand became very popular.
As soon as there is a rental or auction, there will be competition immediately.
The companies and farmers who received the land immediately started working on the next step.
Everyone can’t wait to get involved in the sand industry immediately, hoping to get the first wave of dividends.
For Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, although the new product only has 20,000 acres, the income from the planting process alone can reach hundreds of millions.
There are also the initial tens of thousands of acres, as well as the increased added value brought by processing.
Cistanche deserticola seeds can only be harvested in July and August, but a pile of pre-orders have been accumulated...the performance is promising!
The more prosperous the sand industry becomes, the more profitable it will be for Shahai, the pioneer.
……
Li Yongcai’s expression seemed to have seen a ghost.
"Opening a coal mine in Laos, Mr. Guo, are you sure you're not joking?"
Guo Yang nodded affirmatively.
"Jiahe wants to open a potash mine in Laos, which requires a lot of coal. In addition, there are several other companies that want to go abroad to mine potassium and will also need coal."
Li Yongcai shook his head, "No one wants to go to Laos. Ah, even if they want to work in their own profession, most of them prefer to go to Xinjiang Province."
Guo Yang said in a deep voice: "How about cooperation? Jiahe will provide the money, and Mr. Li's company will provide the technology."
Through this period of contact, Guo Yang also roughly figured out the details of these coal bosses.
As far as he knows, most of these more than 20 coal bosses have a net worth of over 100 million.
But the leader, Li Yongcai, is the richest in assets.
Li Yongcai is still hesitating.
Guo Yang thought for a while and said: "Jiahe will also try its best to provide help in other agricultural projects."
Li Yongcai said: "Mr. Guo, I would like to take the liberty to ask, about the Wengguanguo project. "How many acres does Jiahe plan to develop?"
"The long-term plan is to plant 5 million acres," Guo Yang said with a smile, "Is Mr. Li interested in participating?"
Li Yongcai was surprised at first, and then said: "Well, I want to do some in Shanxi Province."
Guo Yang said generously: "Okay, as long as Mr. Li is in need, the Wenguan fruit trees in Jiahe Nursery will be given priority to you. "
Li Yongcai reciprocated: "I don't plan to open a coal mine anymore, so I'll ask Mr. Guo to take care of me."
"Thank you very much for Mr. Li's kindness," Guo Yang said with a smile. "I'm in a hurry to go back to Jiuquan. If Mr. Li is interested, you can go and have a look."
"Okay, that's what I mean."
"..."
Guo Yang said: "I just happened to have a look at the Wenguan Guo Nursery."
The Wenguan Guo Nursery was only established in Zhangye last spring, and the earliest seedlings were sown. One year old, still a little young.
And 1,000 kilograms of seeds, about 500 seeds per kilogram, is only enough to sow 20 acres.
Even if all seedlings emerge, there will only be 500,000 seedlings, enough to transplant approximately 5,000 to 10,000 acres.
Jiahe's solution is to establish tissue culture and rapid propagation technology for sorbifolia. It uses leaves and young stems for tissue culture and can cultivate a large number of seedlings in a short period of time.
Jiahe’s original plan was to cultivate the seedlings in the nursery for 3 to 4 years before emergence, but in fact, strong seedlings that are 1 to 2 years old can also be transplanted out of the nursery.
After seeing the nursery, Li Yongcai and the other coal bosses who came with him also knew what was going on.
In recent days, the international crude oil price has exceeded 120 US dollars per barrel, and the general environment has made bioenergy investment more and more popular.
Energy forest projects are being launched in a hurry across the north and south.
But Mr. Guo was very practical and pointed out the risks involved. If the tide recedes, how would the energy forest survive?
While others were on the first floor, Jiahe at least thought about the second floor and even the third floor in advance.
That’s why Jiahe built the garden at a slow pace.
After careful consideration, Li Yongcai said: "Mr. Guo, we plan to build tens of thousands of acres of vine fruit forest in Shanxi Province first."
Guo Yang said: "Seedlings are the best. If you wait another year, the survival rate will be higher, and the price of crude oil should have dropped by then. Maybe you will no longer be interested.”
"Haha..." Li Yongcai laughed twice, "Mr. Guo is really a down-to-earth person."
"That's okay. It will take time to go back and transfer the coal mine to the government. Negotiating compensation will take time. Waiting for a year is just right. . ”
Waiting for a year is best for both parties.
The supply of seedlings in nurseries is more abundant, and the bottom-line crude oil price can also test whether the coal bosses are firm enough.
……
The coal bosses returned to Shanxi, and Guo Yang finally rushed back to Jiuquan.
The Ministry of Agriculture is coming to investigate the fallow pilot program in Jiuquan. Guo Yang estimates that it is related to the speech given by the leader in Minqin.
At the same time, this visit to Laos was also led by the Ministry of Agriculture.
Guo Yang inquired and found out that the level of this visit was lower than that of middle peasants.
Huaxia Agricultural Materials originally brought in many departments such as agriculture, chemical industry, diplomacy, and Supply X Corporation.
But in the end, there was still no signing.
Jiahe has relatively little contact with other departments, but with the Ministry of Agriculture as the finale, the cards are completely sufficient.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if the official comes forward, but it is definitely better than nothing.
At the same time, Yang Guocheng also came to Jiuquan from the capital and recruited a new person to join the team. Qing Shihua is also a senior engineer who used to work in the design institute.
Guo Yang took advantage of the night to understand the situation with the two of them.
With Ning Xiaojing in the middle to coordinate, the legal, financial and other teams needed to go abroad have been formed.
Guo Yang was relieved and went home to sleep.
The next day the genius was slightly bright, and he rushed to Yumen. At Yinma Farm, he met people from the Ministry of Agriculture who came to investigate.
The leaders are the Forestry Department, Director Tang, Xiao Le and others from the Plantation Management Department.
In addition, there are scholars and experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
The focus of the investigation focused on why crop rotation and fallow are implemented, how to implement crop rotation and fallow, and how to ensure farmers' income.
Why fallow?
Life needs rhythm, just like children have winter and summer vacations, and ordinary people also have vacations. The cultivated land under heavy load also needs a rest, and the overdrawn soil needs a breather.
Another reason is to save water and prepare for the release of water to the downstream ecology.
How to rotate crops to fallow?
Fully consider factors such as balanced supply of major agricultural products, inventory status, structural adjustment and other factors.
What is abundant is subtracted, what is lacking is supplemented, and what is excellent is increased.
The actual implementation is to reduce corn and wheat and increase legumes such as soybeans and alfalfa.
How to protect farmers’ income?
Water-saving Drip Irrigation and Crop Rotation and Fallow Farming Jiuquan’s finance allocated a one-time fund of 200 million yuan, with a subsidy of 500 yuan for fallow acres and a subsidy of 150 yuan for crop rotation.
In addition, the increase in corn yield in the following year is calculated based on 100 kilograms, and the income from one year of fallow is 500 to 600 yuan.
In addition, Jiahe has also provided great support in terms of seeds, water-saving drip irrigation, product acquisition, loan interest discounts, etc.
After listening, the experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences who came for the investigation could not help but mutter: "It is not easy to implement this nationwide."
When he saw the change in the eyes of the Forestry Department, he added : "Well... further research is needed on the ecological compensation mechanism for farmland rotation and fallow."
Jiuquan's water-saving fallow is closely linked to the Jiahe Dunhuang Wetland Project.
The investment amount for this project is 30 billion.
This process will result in a large number of land consolidation, river and channel construction, water-saving drip irrigation, vegetation and greening and other projects.
This will bring a lot of employment to local villages and a lot of tax revenue to local governments.
It is equivalent to revitalizing the county economy in the Yumen-Guazhou-Dunhuang area in disguised form.
That’s why the city dared to give huge subsidies.
But nationwide, this subsidy can only be provided by the national finance...it is very difficult.
But the implementation effect of Jiuquan can be felt by just taking a peek.
During the investigation, river management was being carried out in the middle and upper reaches of the Shule River.
The adjacent ecologically fragile fallow area is also undergoing vegetation restoration to prevent sandstorms and soil erosion.
Many of the workers working on the construction site are sturdy young and middle-aged people. When Lin stepped forward and asked, the workers were all smiling.
"I went home early during the Chinese New Year this year, and it's not easy to find work along the coast. I happened to be recruiting people in my hometown, so I stayed here. I can work stably for a year or two." So high.”
“It’s definitely better to stay in my hometown and still take care of my children.”
This is the answer I heard all the time.
Because of the fermentation of subprime mortgages in the United States, the world economic situation is a bit bad.
But the entire Shule River Basin is full of vitality like the rising sun, and every construction site is in full swing.
When you walk into each village compound, you will see a fallow announcement form posted on the bulletin board, and the fallow area and subsidies for each household are also clear at a glance.
The Ministry of Forestry praised Jiuquan’s fallow pilot program and looked at everyone in the Planting Industry Department.
“Jiuquan’s experience is of great significance to the exploration of crop rotation and fallow across the country!”
Director Tang nodded and said: “Hebei’s groundwater funnel area, Hunan’s heavy metal pollution area, southwest and northwest ecologically serious areas Degraded areas...it is necessary to implement fallow in these places.”
"Cultural rotation pilots can be carried out in the cold and cool areas of the northeast, the agricultural and animal husbandry areas of the north, and the over-utilized areas of the southeast."
Qin Lijun, who accompanied him, said: "To make farmers willing to carry out crop rotation and fallow, we must ensure that the benefits are not sustainable. Reduced. "
Lin Bu reiterated: "Well, that's the case. Jiuquan is at the forefront, and it's time for the domestic land to recuperate. Let the media get the news first. "
European and American countries. Compulsory fallow has always been implemented.
15~25% of the total fallow area in the United States, and the average fallow size in Europe is 10%.
Only the artificially tight global food supply in the past two years has caused the fallow ratio in Europe and the United States to decline.
However, domestic cultivated land has been highly tight.
Groundwater over-exploitation, heavy metal pollution, ecological degradation, over-utilization... Every penny is calculated and used.
In the past two years, with the improvement of coastal saline-alkali land and the substantial increase in grain production brought about by the increase in unit yields, it is time to put the recuperation of domestic land on the agenda.
Undoubtedly, Jiuquan lit the first fire.
