Chapter 55 Planning Jiuquan is a typical Gobi oasis agriculture, with oases scattered among mountains, Gobi and are 276 million mu of arable agricultural land, mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of rivers, providing a large area for seed propagation. Enterprises can reasonably choose to arrange hybrid seed production and parent breeding of corn, melons and vegetables, flowers and forage grasses. Most of the farmland is located in oases, and oases are divided into blocks of varying sizes by Gobi and desert. Each oasis is a good natural isolation zone. There are three major water systems and 19 rivers in the region, originating from the glacier and snow area of Qilian Mountains, and the water resources are abundant. The channels are crisscrossed to form river irrigation in the flood area and well irrigation in the spring water area. It is a typical irrigation agricultural area. Since the 20s, Jiuquan has started to undertake seed production for foreign countries. In the years that followed, relying on unique natural conditions, a large number of private seed companies quickly emerged. By 2002, the city's seed production area reached 22 mu, making it the second largest seed production base in the country. Since the Seed Law came into effect on December 2000, 12, 1 seed companies in Jiuquan have registered and obtained seed business licenses. However, the registered capital of most seed production and management companies is between 100 and 200 million yuan, with small business scale and low market competitiveness.
There are only a handful of companies with independent brands and scientific research and breeding capabilities, and the amount of seeds produced by their own generation accounts for 70% of the total seed production! Under such circumstances, Guo Yang's newly registered seed company passed the review of the industry's competent authorities and completed the registration with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau quietly. And obtained a seed business license. After careful consideration, Guo Yang decided to separate the seed company's business from Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. The planning of the seed production base has also been approved, and local departments have also begun mobilizing for related land transfer work. Crop harvesting, house demolition, compensation for young crops... Once these are completed, the breeding base and production base can begin construction. In addition, the seed company also needs to simultaneously build the modern seed processing center promised to the municipal government. 'Quietly' was just what Guo Yang thought it was. In fact, its registered capital of up to 3 million has already caused quite a stir in the industry! Many small seed companies can only helplessly sigh that there are wolves in front and tigers behind. The "wolves" naturally refer to the major multinational seed companies. American Pioneer entered the domestic market several years ago and leased more than 335 acres of land in TL City for a long period of time to establish a breeding experimental station. Its bred Pioneer is already in the approval test. Monsanto has established a joint venture cotton seed company in Hebei and Anhui provinces, specializing in the production and operation of insect-resistant cotton seeds. Novartis of Switzerland acquired the Seoul Seed Company of South Korea, which was wholly owned by my country. The "tigers" are the newly established seed industry upstarts, such as Longping Hi-Tech and Alfalfa. This is exactly the effect Guo Yang wants. It can attract enough attention in the industry, which will make it easier for him to recruit and poach people in the future. The reason why the planned 5 million yuan was not invested all at once was because there was really no need to do so. He now only has one forage grass variety, Alfalfa No. 1, and it is under the name of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd.
There is still 200 million yuan left in the account of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, which is planned to be used to build a forage processing plant and a dairy farm. For newly established seed companies, the three main areas that need investment in the near future are: production bases, promotion systems, and seed industry talent systems. As for the biological research and breeding system in the construction of an integrated breeding, production and promotion system, Guo Yang is not in a hurry. He has a seed shop, and using the natural energy obtained from ecological restoration to customize or purchase various new varieties is equivalent to his scientific research and breeding system. Just for the long-term development of the enterprise in the future, a biological research and breeding system must be gradually established. The necessary molecular biology research system (transgenic), molecular breeding system, breeding research platform, etc. must be available. In this way, even after a hundred years, the company will not collapse. After several days of accumulation, the natural energy has once again reached 62 points. Guo Yang is already thinking about which crop seeds to cultivate. You can't afford to buy it. Currently, only red and orange seeds are sold in the seed store, and each requires at least 500 natural energy points. You also need to spend a certain amount of money to unlock the purchase qualification. Therefore, in the short term, we can only rely on customized breeding to obtain lower-grade seeds such as white, blue, and purple to build a product system. Targeted breeding requires providing materials by oneself, so seed companies have to establish their own germplasm resource banks. We must have our own breeding base and production base. However, Datou Guoyang plans to gradually establish production bases in the northwest, southwest, Yangtze River Basin, Huanghuai River Basin, Hainan Province and other parts of the country in the future through contractual cooperation models such as large seed producers and professional cooperative alliances. In addition, modern seed processing centers and logistics distribution systems must also be gradually established. Promotion system and internationalization strategy, regional marketing centers, distributors... As well as the organizational management structure of the seed company, the president is responsible for the system, and Guo Yang is temporarily appointed as the person in charge. It will consist of production, quality control, marketing, finance, administration, and international affairs departments, as well as a future biotechnology center, breeding, and possibly even specific variety management. After several days of thinking, Guo Yang's plan for the seed company has gradually become clear. But all this is still on paper and needs to be implemented step by step. A headhunting company is already in charge of the people, and the basic office department is already in place. In terms of production, Duan Haitao was temporarily poached from Huihuang Seed Industry to take over. It is definitely not enough to rely on Duan Haitao alone for the seed production technology of field crops. We need a complete technical team. But it is easy to recruit people from seed companies. According to information provided by the Seed Management Station, there are more than 53 professional and technical personnel engaged in breeding research, new variety development and seed production in Jiuquan’s 1 seed companies. They are all professional and technical personnel with rich practical production experience. Seed companies have money, just dig them! What gives Guo Yang a headache is the Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.
The growth rate of Alfalfa No. 1 is surprising. Alfalfa seeds contain few nutrients, so the seedlings should grow slowly. But Alfalfa No. 1 broke common sense. Only five days had passed since Guo Yang left, and it was already two or three centimeters tall. Lao Xiang happily told Guo Yang the news. Guo Yang was also very happy, but he was also surprised to find that after he shifted his focus to the seed company, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry still lacked a helmsman. This is related to the accumulation of natural energy, so we can't be careless! There is no problem with Tianshan's management of production and technology, but with the subsequent establishment of a forage processing plant and a dairy farm, there are many things to consider. Lao Xiang is really not good enough! Guo Yang thought about poaching Wu Feng from Huihuang Seed Industry. Although he was originally a truck driver, he has a unique rough air. Moreover, he must have some special advantages to be able to switch from being a truck driver to becoming the boss of a seed company. However, the headhunter told him that Wu Feng had no intention of leaving Brilliance for the time being. "Jingle Bell……" Guo Yang collected his thoughts and saw that it was Wu Feng calling. He thought he had changed his mind and answered the call hurriedly. Wu Feng's reproachful voice came, his tone full of resentment. "I had just delivered the seeds when I came back and received Duan Haitao's resignation letter." "Mr. Guo, what you did was too unfair." "Two managers and three technical backbones, none of them are as ruthless as you in fleecing us." "We agreed to work together and seek common development, but now you turn around and try to steal my girl." Guo Yang smiled awkwardly, what he did was indeed not very authentic. Please help me come up with a name for the seed company. If that doesn't work, I'll just call it "Alfalfa Seed Industry".
