Chapter 234 The Situation of Vegetable SeedsGuo Yang thought about it for a moment and decided that Netero must have had no good intentions in coming to China. It's impossible that he's here to buy grass. The most likely reason is that they come to buy seeds, or to introduce new species. Whether Alfalfa 1 can adapt to foreign climates and soils is not the point at the moment, but China can introduce species from abroad to cultivate local varieties, and foreign countries can naturally select suitable varieties for hybridization with Alfalfa 1. Even direct gene screening, gene editing, etc. are possible. The effect of Alfalfa No. 1 on improving saline-alkali land is so exaggerated that it must be given priority in China. Guo Yang didn't want to worry too much about the specific decision. Report to the Ministry of Agriculture and let the leaders make the decision. The happiness brought by a full stomach made Guo Yang narrow his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "I may not be able to give you this favor." "I'm going to take a break and go fishing for a couple of days."
Since the Spring Festival, except for a few days of playing with my elder brother and sister-in-law, I have been working non-stop. I often work overtime even on weekends. Xie Shijie also looked at him in surprise. It was not that Netero had to be received by the boss, but this matter had to be decided by him. On the contrary, he was somewhat interested in taking a break and fishing. "Boss, can you take me to one?" "You don't have to receive people from Netero Company?" "I'll let Yu Xiaochuan go. He's more familiar with the foreign market." It seems to be true. Yu Xiaochuan was in charge of alfalfa from the initial development of the market to the opening up of the situation. Guo Yang asked: "Can you fish?" Xie Shijie patted his chest and said confidently: "I have been fishing since I was a child." "Okay, let's go together." Luo Xiu is a novice, and if Xie Shijie is also a novice, Guo Yang will definitely not agree. That's just making yourself uncomfortable. …… at the same time. The news of Guo Yang's illness also spread within Jiahe, although Luo Xiu did not deliberately publicize it. But gossip can spread very quickly once it has a chance to spread. "Phew, the boss is sick and not here. I actually feel relieved." "It's been almost half a year. Since the beginning of the year, I've only seen him take a break once. He's always working overtime. If this continues, I think the biggest problem will be his health."
"The company has undergone tremendous changes in the past six months. Rumor has it that the group's revenue for the first quarter has exceeded 10 billion yuan." "Hundreds of billions???" "Where did the news come from?" "That's too much, isn't it? Last year's revenue was only billion, and it almost doubled in the first quarter of this year?" "Probably Alfalfa and Tianhe. The seeds I know are selling very well." "Tianhe has already signed up for this year's Top 50 Seed Industry Selection, and it is very likely that it will directly take first place." "Save your energy." "Does that mean that Jiahe has surpassed Hope Group and become the largest agricultural and animal husbandry company in the country?" "Based on the current revenue data, there is definitely no doubt about it." “Didn’t it seem unfair to those executives who were fired last year?” "What's the injustice? Would this be the case if it wasn't open?" "The boss is still awesome!" “Can bosses also be included in the Forbes rich list?” "I'm just talking about rumors. The news may not be true." "The outside world may not have noticed Jiahe yet." "Oh my god, the boss is back again." "???" "seen it myself……" - After Luo Xiu finished cleaning up, they hurried back to the company. On the way, Guo Yang also learned about Xiangyang Lake, which should still be its original lake appearance. Even Beitun is just a town, not a city. Xiangyang Lake International Fishing Sports Base currently shows no signs of development. Even if Golden Harvest didn't get involved, it might take another ten years for the film to be released. Guo Yang naturally had his eyes on Xiangyang Lake. Altay is a great place! You can feel the beauty of all kinds of natural scenery without filters. Although Xiangyang Lake is a bit far from the Asafoetida Gobi Desert, it is 450 kilometers away. But for fishermen, this distance is nothing. But I have to arrange my work first. You can practice on the weekends to get a feel for it.
By the way, he tested Xie Shijie's character. He always felt that he was a little unreliable. Xie Shijie seemed to be a young man who grew up in the city. He had a high level of education and looked like a good student. Where did he find the time to go fishing? There is definitely some water in this. As soon as you enter the company gate, people keep greeting you, and those who come to discuss work will also ask about your health with concern. In terms of business sectors, Guo Yang focused on the promotion of vegetable seeds. The export of summer vegetables from the Gansu plateau began in 1998. It has thus developed from a small scale to a large area and has become an important base for the eastern distribution of western vegetables in my country. This year, the planting area of summer vegetables in Lanzhou Plateau has reached 60 mu. Every summer and autumn, when high temperature and high humidity cover the southern land, highland summer vegetables represented by Lanzhou just fill the market gap in the southeast coastal areas. The Northwestern Plateau has cool summers, plenty of sunshine, and a large temperature difference between day and night, and the quality of the vegetables produced is also extremely high. In addition, the large altitude difference and complex terrain make it suitable for terraced sowing and phased marketing, ensuring the long-term supply of vegetables. In the vegetable quality inspections conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture in large and medium-sized cities across the country for three consecutive years since 2003, highland summer vegetables won the first place twice. Big but not strong is the current problem, and Tianhe's vegetable seeds may become a booster for becoming stronger. March, April and May are the peak seasons for sowing summer vegetables in the plateau. Tianhe’s Chinese cabbage and cauliflower seeds have the brand bonus brought by Red No. 1. It is not difficult to promote it. Farmers are easily willing to give it a try, and once they do, they enjoy the same pleasure of a bumper harvest and increased income as with Red No. 1. Tianhe’s Chinese cabbage and cauliflower have occupied a high market share in the local area. However, since cabbage, kale, Chinese cabbage and pumpkin were all sold at high prices last year, farmers' enthusiasm for planting them remains unabated. Especially for lotus vegetables, the price at the farm gate reached yuan per catty. Based on 15000 catties, the gross income reached 9000 yuan. Lotus vegetables can also be planted twice, and the high returns provide a strong incentive for vegetable farmers. As a result, more farmers are planting these vegetables this year. Tianhe even suspects that lotus vegetables and pumpkins will be unsalable this year, just like baby cabbages and celery last year. Guo Yang also issued instructions, requiring Tianhe to make every effort to promote seeds and diversify varieties. Its fruit and vegetable companies have joined forces with other distributors to develop markets in the Yangtze River Delta, Chengdu-Chongqing, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, etc. can also take action. Although the website is not online yet, the agency service can be launched first, such as visiting vegetable markets along the coast and exporting to Southeast Asia, etc. Guo Yang’s logic is: gather from all over the country, sell in the northwest, and go to West Asia. In short, while selling good seeds, don't let the farmers' hard work go to waste. ... In addition, the super red-core carrot seeds were mainly promoted in Yongchang, covering about 2 acres. Carrot cultivation is an important industry in Yongchang, and many farmers count on the profits from growing carrots.
However, due to the degeneration of varieties and decline in quality, the local carrots are sold for only yuan. With an acre of land yielding to kilograms, it is difficult to sell them for yuan. The local area subsequently introduced several varieties from abroad for trial planting, including Osaka Six-Inch, Japanese All-Round, and American New Five-Inch Ginseng. Super red core was also trial-planted simultaneously. The trial planting yield reached kilograms per mu, which was a crushing victory. Local farmers can also achieve an output of to kilograms per mu, with a maximum selling price of yuan per kilogram. The products are mainly sold in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan regions, where locals like to buy them to make pickles. But Guo Yang was shocked by another piece of news. Last fall, there was a shortage of Sakata seven-inch tea in the island country, and the black market price was driven up to yuan per can. A farmer in Fujian Province found a super red core from the northwest, and the yield per mu reached jin that autumn! The farmer even believes that there is still room for improvement in the cultivation model, and the yield per mu may exceed 2 jin. At the same time, the average yield per mu of those growing Bantian Qicun along the coast is more than 8000 jin, and there are also rumors that the yield per mu of some individuals has reached more than jin. In a short period of time, the reputation of Sakata Seven-Cun, which had been promoted in coastal areas for a longer time, rose to a new level. But Super Red Core is just as good, and may even have greater potential, as long as farmers can find a planting model that suits their local conditions. Farmers along the coast, especially those in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, are more cunning and more daring to try new things. From watermelon, citrus, vegetables to grapes, professional growers from the two provinces have been active on the front line for more than two decades. Seeds, cultivation techniques, marketing models, and even the speed of following the trend, all require a faster reaction. It is only a matter of time before the upper limit of the super red core is broken. The price of seeds is also considerable, and Tianhe has no need to engage in price wars. The cost for farmers to plant one acre of super red core seeds is about 2800 yuan. Equivalent to Sakata Nana-inch. my country's carrot planting area is 600 million mu, and the market space is huge. The weather is not good these days, and the yield of Sakata Seven-inch seeds cannot be increased, so it is not a big threat. In summary, Sales of vegetable seeds have reached million yuan this year. Super Red Core, Red No. 1 and Tianjiao No. 1 contributed nearly %. The price potential of Chinese cabbage seeds is not high, cauliflower seeds and seedlings have strong competitors in Zhejiang Province, and tomato seeds are limited by mechanical harvesting. Only a quarter of this year has passed, and the annual sales volume should be around 700 million to 800 million. Six or seven points in the domestic vegetable seed market. From 3% to 7%, this sound is not weak at all.
... In two days, Guo Yang reviewed the work progress of Muhe and Hexi. Netero’s visit to China was also reported to the Ministry of Agriculture, and the higher-ups took a very firm stance. The seeds must not be lost! Regarding the trade blockade, Guo Yang was promised that he would not bow to any power in this matter. At the same time, it also allows Muhe to actively explore the domestic market. This is equivalent to suggesting that the prices of forage grass and alfalfa No. 1 seeds should be reduced. It is estimated that more than 600 million acres of forage grass will be added this year. If farmers want to get their investment back soon, they will most likely not return the crops to the fields as green manure, but will sell them out. We can't export everything, right? Domestic sales are inevitable. But the milk price is low, and dairy farmers cannot afford the high price of fodder... It was from here that Guo Yang realized that the upper echelons had not fully understood the logic: high-quality forage - increased milk production and quality - increased income for dairy farmers. Or maybe they know it, but there is too much resistance to implementing it nationwide. I want to start with alfalfa: the price of seeds drops - the price of forage drops - cows eat grass. Thanks to alfalfa, both the forage and dairy industries are alive and well. Guo Yang declined politely on the grounds that it would take time to develop the domestic market. There was still room for maneuver with millions of acres of forage, so he decided to wait for a year. After finishing a few things, it was the weekend. Xie Shijie and Luo Xiu could no longer wait to go fishing, so they went to the city to buy the equipment. However, on Friday night, when Guo Yang checked the fishing gear purchased by Luo Xiu, he fell into deep thought. Can you catch pike with this hand rod and line set? These two are bastards!
