Chapter 155: The Grass Turns Green, the Corn Turns GoldThe news that the Island Dairy Farmers Association had placed an order for 26 tons spread quickly within the group. It caused a huge response. In an office, several employees gathered together to chat during their lunch break. "I heard that Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has signed a large contract with the island country for 26 tons of forage products." "Hiss! Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is about to take off. Will the annual revenue exceed 10 billion?" “It’s a little bit difficult to break 10 billion this year, but there will be no problem next year.” More and more people gathered around, and the conversation became more and more excited. "Oh my goodness, the group's performance has exploded this year! First it was Fengkai Agricultural Machinery, then Tianhe Seeds, and now it's Muhe Agriculture and Animal Husbandry." "I heard that Fengkai Agricultural Machinery has been working overtime a lot, and this year's production capacity is fully booked." "It's mainly because our Iranian counterparts are so awesome. They directly gave us an order for 2500 units worth million yuan. It will be difficult for us to finish the production by the end of this year."
"Haha, there are African cousins too. With the quality of the Cheetah tractor, who wouldn't be confused?" "I calculated with my fingers that this year, the revenue of Jiahe Group will reach 30 billion yuan." "The key is that the profits are high. I guess the total profits of domestic listed agricultural companies are not as high as Jiahe." “Why doesn’t the company go public?” …… The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time. If Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry wants to maintain substantial revenue growth, it must first ensure that it can win the 26-ton order from the Dairy Growers Association. Guo Yang thinks this is not an easy task. The first thing is to ensure that alfalfa has sufficient yield and good quality. The 20-acre saline-alkali land project in Wuyuan was only improved at the end of last year, and most of the soil is raw soil. At the same time, the construction of infrastructure such as drip irrigation also takes time to complete, as well as the most important factory buildings and processing equipment. Especially technical facilities and equipment such as fumigation and disinfection tanks. Given the characteristics of Alfalfa No. 1, there should be no quality issues as long as there are no mistakes in the production management process. The only problem is that in terms of processing, it is very likely that the standards for export to the island countries will not be met due to time constraints and substandard technology. "Old Yu, quickly ask Old Xiang to transfer some people here. You can take care of the processing and packaging matters yourself. For the disinfection equipment, please contact Yu Honghai directly." "I'm afraid Mr. Yu will complain again." Yu Xiaochuan responded. "Hey, you are the same family. If you have any problems, you can negotiate among yourselves or contact other companies." Guo Yang also knew that Fengkai Agricultural Machinery had been operating at overload for the past six months. Agricultural machinery production capacity is also expanding and new bases are being built, but it will take time to put them into production.
Dong Chenggui is the project leader in Wuyuan. After learning about the Dairy Farmers Association's requirements for export products, he couldn't help but grumble. “Is the island country deliberately making things difficult for Alfalfa? The requirements are too harsh. Not only are the specifications and sizes strict, but the grass also has to be fumigated and disinfected.” When it comes to understanding the international alfalfa market, Yu Xiaochuan is the most professional in alfalfa, and he explained patiently. "The island country also has strict inspections on the import of American and Canadian forage products. In addition to routine disinfection, it also involves GMO inspections. The island country has experienced frequent outbreaks of mad cow disease in the past two years, and has been in a state of panic for a long time. Affected by mad cow disease, the island nation's livestock industry began to reject biological protein feed, and cattle, sheep, and chickens began to add high-protein alfalfa feed. At the same time, as the chemical composition of American alfalfa becomes increasingly complex, many island ranchers are not very satisfied with American alfalfa and hope to import high-quality and low-cost products from China. Now the island country has only one problem with importing alfalfa from China: the credit problem.” “In comparison, South Korea’s requirements are lower, but it has also experienced outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza in the past two years. More than 50% of our fodder was opened for inspection when entering South Korea, and several batches were even returned. Everyone was savoring it carefully, as most people would not know what Yu Xiaochuan said. Guo Yang said: "If you want to make money from the Japanese, you have to follow their demands." "When producing forage grass, we must strictly control the quality and avoid adulteration. We should not forget the lesson of the island country's refusal to import Chinese rice straw two years ago." “The same standard applies domestically.” "Old Yu, you are more professional in terms of quality, so you can follow me for the time being." Yu Xiaochuan had a bitter face. He should not have shown off earlier. But now, there is one more thing to do. Guo Yang continued to arrange the work: "Boss, production and planting are up to you. The temperature is high in summer, and pests and diseases are prone to occur. Please pay attention to inspections." "Okay, this harvest may encounter the rainy season. Whether to harvest earlier or later may affect the yield and quality." Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's stagger them. Try to deliver them earlier to ensure the quality. Even if we sacrifice the output, the overall gain will outweigh the loss." After all, the Wuyuan grassland was just getting started, and its technical and management capabilities were weak, so Guo Yang naturally had to give more instructions. He then contacted Lao Xiang by phone, emphasizing that management measures must also be followed for alfalfa after harvest to ensure the yield and quality of the second crop of forage. After explaining everything, Dong Chenggui was busy arranging production tasks. When Yu Xiaochuan wanted to leave, Guo Yang kept him back. "Have you made any arrangements to investigate the domestic low-quality milk powder?" "I found two calm and steady guys in the sales department, and they are investigating this matter secretly." "Well, be careful. If you need anything, you can contact Qu Yang. Tianhe's sales network is wider." "That's even better." After Yu Xiaochuan left, Guo Yang also took his driver Lao Song to take a tour of the project. The weather in Wuyuan became hot in June.
The growth of wheat and alfalfa has also entered its peak period, covering the farmland like a green carpet. But Guo Yang found a lot of problems. For example, some farmers' cattle and sheep ran into the alfalfa grassland, trampling on it or gnawing on it, and some plots of land also experienced water shortage. No management personnel were found at the scene. In contrast, in the Tianmai No. 1 demonstration field of Huimin Cooperative, several farmers over years old are watching in the wheat fields. The production management of Wuyuan Branch is still lacking. The on-site personnel have a high degree of freedom and often have to rely on the self-consciousness of the employees. In the evening, Guo Yang had a dinner together with the Wuyuan team and encouraged everyone. After the meeting, he took advantage of the alcohol to make some requests to Dong Chenggui. After resting in the hotel for a night, Guo Yang did not go to Urad Grassland again, but flew back to Jiuquan. When the plane was about to arrive at Jiayuguan Airport, you could overlook the outline of the Qilian Mountains. The entire mountain range was very long, and you could see snow all year round on the top of the mountain. The person who came to pick up Guo Yang was Xie Shijie, and Guo Yang kept teasing him as soon as they met. "Is it fun to kill rats in Gannan?" Xie Shijie laughed, and the two of them walked out of the airport while chatting. "It's quite relaxing to kill rats with a bow and arrow every day. The rat-catching team I'm in can catch 1,000 to 2,000 rats a day. There's a rat-killing team member named Hou Jinchuan who can catch hundreds of rats a day, and basically every shot he makes hits the target." "Is it that powerful? How did you catch it?" "The vision of underground rats is weakened, so they rely on their sense of smell and touch, and they are used to blocking the entrance of their holes with mounds of earth. We open the hole and place bows and arrows on it. When the rodents sense that the earth mound has been opened, they will run to the hole to block the earth mound. Once the bows and arrows are triggered, ordinary rodents will find it difficult to escape. " Guo Yang couldn't help but admire, "The wisdom of the working people is really endless. Is the teacher still there?" Xie Shijie said solemnly: "It's still there. The rodent infestation in Gannan is too serious. It will take at least a month to control it. Groups of moles turned a blind eye to pedestrians, openly nibbled on the grass, dug holes and turned over the soil to cover up the grassland, and some of the rat holes were even dug at the doorsteps of herders’ homes.” "The grass was eaten up. One herdsman's cattle and sheep died in less than 10 days." Guo Yang asked: "Have Jiahe's donated materials arrived?" “All are here.” The two got into the car, and Guo Yang saw several newspapers on the passenger seat, which attracted his attention. "The grass is green, the corn is golden - Jiahe Group is experiencing a performance explosion." "Stacks of hay mean stacks of money - Jinta has built the largest grass industry base in the country, processing 20 tons of alfalfa blocks and 2000 million kilograms of alfalfa seeds annually." "Alfalfa brand alfalfa is popular both at home and abroad, and has signed huge orders with island countries." Guo Yang took a look and found that they were all local reports from Long Province. In addition to mentioning alfalfa agriculture and animal husbandry, they also focused on Tianyu No. 1.
Especially in terms of driving development, Jiahe was praised for not only providing a large number of jobs, but also driving the development of industries such as processing, warehousing and logistics. A thriving scene. "Are there any reports about Jiahe on the Internet?" Guo Yang asked. "Yes, since you were reported in the news, there have been articles about Golden Harvest on websites like Sohu and Sina from time to time." "But what netizens are most concerned about is when people in Northwest China can eat seafood." Guo Yang smiled and said, "I'm talking about aquatic products, not seafood." "The netizens don't agree." While driving, Xie Shijie observed his boss's every move. "Boss, I think you should get a personal secretary." "Personal secretary?" Guo Yang was stunned and almost thought of something wrong. Pretty faces are all alike, but qualified secretaries are hard to find? Xie Shijie said as a matter of course, "Yeah, now you're traveling all over the country all the time, Lao Song can drive the car and carry the bags, but the other things are not so good." Guo Yang thought about it and was just about to arrange the recruitment when Qu Yang called again. The tone was urgent. "Boss, the International Herald Leader under XH Society has recently published an article that directly targets Tianyu No. 1!" "Hmm? What did you say?" "Tianyu No. 1 is genetically modified!" Guo Yang frowned. For some reason, he thought of Lai Minjun who had come to the interview with Xu Xiaoxue. But isn’t Lai Minjun from the China Science Daily? The original interview was also about Alfalfa No. 1, so why would XH publish an article about Tianyu No. 1? Guo Yang was confused. "Are you in Jiuquan? I'll be there soon." "exist." Xie Shijie also lost interest in conversation and drove at full speed. The domestic public opinion environment has always viewed GMOs as a scourge, and Tianyu No. 1 was inexplicably involved, which made things a bit troublesome. (End of this chapter)
