Chapter 176: Glorious Pasture BaseThe past two glorious years have been much better than before. Looking back three years ago, because it could not pay wages, the newly established Muhe poached several key employees of Huihuang, even the vice president in charge of production technology was poached. But because of the development of alfalfa, Huihuang purchased a batch of alfalfa seeds from Huihuang, and then Huihuang recovered. "Are you interested in exporting the brilliant oat grass?" Wu Feng was stunned for a while before he reacted, "Is there a chance?" "Of course!" Guo Yang pointed to the white office area next to the square, "Customers from South Korea and Southeast Asia are still waiting?" Wu Feng's brain was working at high speed. Foreign markets such as island countries and South Korea have high requirements for forage products in terms of quality, large quantities and stable supply, and Huihuang can actually barely meet these requirements. But for Huihuang, exporting thousands of miles from the northwest to the coast and abroad involves great risks. It is very likely that due to incorrect positioning, the product has not only failed to export but also lost the domestic market.
“Transportation costs are too high.” Guo Yang smiled and said, "Muhe can provide processing services." Wu Feng took two or three steps up the stairs and said, "Let's go in and get the order first." His swift and decisive appearance made He Yun couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. It was a pity that Oasis Grass Industry was far away in Ning Province and could not catch this train. The communication with foreign businessmen is very smooth. When they learned that there was another grass industry company, they all expressed interest. Wu Feng was also very decisive. He directly offered a price more favorable than alfalfa, which aroused the interest of foreign businessmen. Without stopping, the group drove for more than two hours to the glorious forage planting base. Ning Xiaojing ran quickly and got into the car. Guo Yang walked to the window and said, "I will drive Huihuang's car, and Luo Xiu will take you back to Jiuquan first." Ning Xiaojing stared at him in astonishment. The wide sun hat still couldn't block the sun's attack, and a blush appeared on her face. "It might be a busy night today." "When you go back, think about whether you want to stay in Jiahe. This rhythm may happen frequently in the future." After saying that, Guo Yang walked towards the green jeep. He was quite satisfied with Ning Xiaojing. After arriving in the unfamiliar Northwest, he plunged into his normal work without any buffer period. The abilities of writing materials, handling documents, coordinating and communicating, and dealing with emergencies are basically acquired. It has the appearance of a vase, but it is not a vase. On the jeep. "Mr. Wu, how is the quality of your oat straw?"
"The proportion of hay that can reach the premium grade is 20%, the proportion of first-grade hay reaches 60%, and the proportion of alfalfa is about the same." Wu Feng said with a little pride. "We can't compare with Muhe, but outside the Hexi Corridor, Huihuang has the confidence to compete with even the Americans." He Yun exclaimed: "The natural geographical conditions of the Hexi Corridor are truly unique!" "There are still many problems. Farmers' planting skills vary, and the rent cost of transferring land for planting is too high." "All in all, the profit from growing grass is still very meager." The journey was long and a few people were chatting. Unlike Muhe, which focuses on overseas markets to earn huge profits, companies such as Huihuang have adjusted their own positioning. Keep a close eye on the domestic market, closely integrate grass and livestock transformation and value-added, and achieve efficient on-site transformation. It's easy to say. But in order to convince local dairy farmers, Huihuang did a lot of forage grass promotion demonstrations. For example, building a small cattle and sheep farm can increase profits on the one hand, and carry out various experimental promotions on the other. For example, providing a certain amount of forage feed to large cattle farmers free of charge for a long time. The dairy cow yield increased after the diet structure was adjusted. The milk protein rate, which is the most important factor for milk purchasing stations, has also increased significantly, and the purchase price of milk has also increased by one level. According to Huihuang's calculations, if 6 kg of alfalfa is used to replace 2 kg of concentrated feed in the daily diet of dairy cows, considering milk production, milk quality, and disease prevention costs, the net income of each dairy cow can be increased by nearly yuan. In addition, the brilliant standardized production model, especially various types of forage seeds, provides great support. The brilliant forage base is very remote, and on the way we passed Tianhe Seed Industry’s corn seed production base in Yumen. Compared with the land conditions of the seed production base, the glorious forage base is far worse. You can even see white salt stains in the soil. But the oats on the grass were growing very well. The breeze blew across the endless grassland, and the green grass stretched from one end of the road to the foot of the mountain. Seeing this large area of high-quality pasture, foreign businessmen began to cheer through their car windows. "Oh……" "Oh……" Shouting, cheering, taking pictures... In short, the pent-up emotions were released. Huihuang has many types of forage grass. After all, it is a professional grass grower. In addition to oat grass, it also grows forage grass such as alfalfa and ryegrass. It is covered with various barren slopes, deserts and wastelands. "How much is the rent for this land?" Guo Yang asked curiously. "120 yuan per mu."
"Cattle!" This is really a great way to save money! Muhe originally rented the seed fields in Yuanba Village for 300 yuan per mu, and Guo Yang felt that he was a philanthropist. Wu Feng laughed and said, "If you want to grow grass, you can only find land that can't grow food." "In the past few years, some large companies invested in contracting large areas of land and purchased a large amount of equipment to grow and process alfalfa, but ultimately failed." "Although we don't have Alfalfa No. 1, the Longmu No. 3 from the Agricultural University is also salt- and alkali-tolerant." Longmu No. 3 is a variety bred by his mentor Weng Lixin, and Guo Yang is also very familiar with it. When they arrived at the glorious base, Guo Yang discovered that Ning Xiaojing had also followed him, which surprised him a little. It seems that he is planning to stay in Jiahe. Several merchants randomly selected some oat kernels from the oat base. After a simple inspection, the foreign businessmen were very satisfied with the quality of Huihuang’s forage grass. Oats also have high feeding value, and their grain protein content is generally 14%-15%. But the highest protein content of brilliant oat grass reaches 18%, and the lower one is also within the normal range. In addition to the contracted land, Huihuang has also encouraged farmers in the surrounding areas to develop forage grass planting, and the affected area has exceeded 10 acres. The quality of farmers’ forage grass varies, but due to the large quantity, some high-quality forage grass can be selected. In general, it meets the requirements of foreign investors. However, the yield of Huihuang is far less than that of alfalfa. The average yield per mu is less than 1 ton. "Mr. Guo, when will the Alfalfa No. 1 seeds be released?" "It's coming soon. Guoliang and Nongfa Group will jointly develop 2000 million mu of saline-alkali land this year. Do you think they can handle it?" Wu Feng shook his head, "It's uncertain!" "Therefore, only by opening up and handing over the land to the general public can the country's saline-alkali land potential be fully tapped." "Then doesn't Alfalfa have to be rich just by selling seeds?" "Why do you think China Development Bank and China National Grain and Oils Corporation invested in Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry?" Wu Feng and He Yun suddenly realized. The foreign businessmen have basically finalized the order for Huihuang, but the details still need to be discussed, especially the processing of alfalfa. The preliminary plan is for Huihuang to carry out primary processing, and for Muhe to carry out secondary processing and fumigation disinfection, and to charge a processing fee of 100 yuan per ton. If it were sold in the northwest region, Huihuang would definitely not agree. The profit of eight or nine hundred per mu would be a loss after deducting the processing and transportation costs. But export? The first-grade sales price of oat straw is at least RMB 1500 per ton.
The profit increased several times. Huihuang was still very happy. In the evening, Huihuang treated everyone to dinner and drinks. Wu Feng also said to Guo Yang under the influence of alcohol: "The Hexi Corridor is the main highland for the production of high-quality alfalfa hay in China, with a large number of forage grasses and enterprises in the industrial chain. Alfalfa can initiate the establishment of China’s first specialized alfalfa industry cluster.” Late at night, on the way back to Jiuquan. Guo Yang was still thinking about what Wu Feng said about the specialized alfalfa industry cluster. Alfalfa has an absolute advantage in all aspects, including alfalfa seeds, production and planting, forage machinery, processing and compression, etc. Logically speaking, there is no need to share alfalfa's achievements with others. Isn’t it great to have a monopoly-style lead? Guo Yang was thinking in a daze. Ning Xiaojing secretly glanced at Guo Yang who was half lying on the chair thinking, and after he fell asleep, she gradually became absorbed in watching him. The outside world generally believes that the rise of Golden Harvest Group in just a few years is due to the youthful vigor and radical style of its leaders. But behind this reckless and reckless style is meticulous thinking. "He's still a little handsome." …… The next day. Guo Yang was flipping through the China Animal Husbandry News. The article written by Professor Su Guozhou was very interesting. “The cows don’t have access to high-quality pasture.” “The milk protein content is low.” "Feed management is extensive, raw milk quality is low, and safety is poor." This is equivalent to questioning the safety of the dairy industry, and it is just short of pointing fingers and scolding. I believe some dairy companies have also noticed this. What chain reactions will it bring? But at this time, Lu Hanbin called. With joy in his tone, he said, "Boss, the inoculation of Cistanche deserticola was successful." (End of this chapter)
