Chapter 163 Organic Soybean Farming and Botanical Pesticides
A group of people rushed into the large conference room of Weiguang Company, but Guo Yang didn't expect that the stickers in the conference room were even more exaggerated.

Photos of the Jinta saline-alkali land before and after improvement were posted on the left and right sides of the wall.

On one side is barren saline-alkali land, and on the other side is green grass, with large harvesters shuttling back and forth to harvest.

There is a sharp contrast.

Guo Yang looked at Yang Cheng blankly. Yang Cheng smiled and said repeatedly: "The employees did it on their own initiative. It was their own initiative."

I believe you as a ghost!

If Yang Cheng didn't agree, Guo Yang would have to drink a few bowls of soy milk in the evening as a punishment.

Guo Yang also suspected that it was Yang Cheng who ordered it. The painting was quite new, maybe it was put up just a few days ago.

But you know what, Guo Yang felt quite comfortable with this flattery.

Vanity!

The visitors from Jiusan Grain and Oil and Weiwei Group also looked amazed and surprised.

Xue Liqiang said: "Every time I see this scene, it is very shocking."

Jia Liang was also a little surprised, but thinking of the purpose of this trip, he asked curiously, "Does Tiandou No. 1 have the same effect of improving saline-alkali land?"

Before Guo Yang could answer, Xue Liqiang smiled and said, "It's totally fine to grow normally on the saline-alkali land near the coast."

"The improvement effect is not as good as Alfalfa No. 1." Guo Yang also laughed.

Jia Liang nodded, and then everyone took their seats one by one.

Jiusan Grain and Oil and Weiwei Group have just clarified the specific mode of cooperation.

Xue Liqiang said: "Jiusan and Weiwei Group hope that Jiahe will take the lead in building at least 30 mu of soybean germplasm base on saline-alkali land.

Jiahe is responsible for saline-alkali land improvement and soybean planting, while Jiusan and Weiwei are responsible for soybean pressing and processing.

The fox's tail was finally revealed.

What a beautiful thought.

Guo Yang had a blank expression on his face, and there was an inexplicable mockery in his tone, "30 acres? Not enough seeds!"

Xue Liqiang paused, took a moment to calm down, and then asked, "How many are there?"

"There are a total of 18 mu of planting area, and part of it needs to be sold to farmers. It is impossible not to sell after the demonstration and promotion."

Guo Yang pondered for a moment, "At most 10 acres of seeds, and Jiahe does not agree with the cooperation method!"

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little quiet for a moment, and the sound of cold air from the air conditioner was rustling.

The Vivi delegation is also proud. With the reputation of being the number one brand of soy milk, they are a powerful force in the industry.

It also has tens of thousands of soybean farmers who cooperate with it in orders, and is much more famous among the people than Jiahe.

Therefore, Jia Liang remained silent.

Northeast China is the only remaining major non-GMO soybean producing area in the world, and the Jiusan Branch is the partner of VV.

Xue Li forced a smile.

As the CEO of a state-owned enterprise, he has never felt so miserable.

It’s so stressful!

Domestic soybean processing companies experienced a wave of bankruptcies in 2004. If it weren’t for Guo Yang’s article, they would have been wiped out.

But it’s not easy now either.

Due to the United States’ crazy subsidies, the prices of domestic and imported soybeans are seriously inverted.

As a result, processing companies lose 900 yuan for every ton of domestic soybeans processed.

Heilongjiang Province originally had more than 100 soybean processing companies. Half of them went bankrupt last year, and the remaining half have basically stopped production this year.

For those that have not stopped production, they are also purchasing soybean meal processed from imported soybeans from the south and bringing it back to process into feed.

The Jiusan Grain and Oil processing plant in Heilongjiang Province also stopped operations, but the workers continued to go to work as usual and their wages were paid.

He estimated that the planting area of ​​non-GMO soybeans in Northeast China was reduced by three million mu in just one year.

He also has no expectations for the national reserve plan because farmers cannot dry the soybeans thoroughly and it is difficult for the national grain reserves to realize the soybean storage plan.

Moreover, the national reserve is also cutting into the flesh of processing enterprises. Farmers have no choice but to sell at 1.5 yuan per pound.

With the national reserve guaranteeing a minimum price, farmers became arrogant and said, "I won't sell!"

Xue Liqiang looked at everyone at Weiwei with dissatisfaction, "Boss Guo, let me be honest, Jiusan Grain and Oil now has two alternative plans."

"First, we will cooperate with Jiahe to use the low land price of saline-alkali land and the high yield of Tiandou No. 1 to fight against genetically modified soybeans."

"Secondly, Jiusan Grain and Oil plans to build three new factories in coastal areas to facilitate production using imported soybeans."

Guo Yang was surprised, and the others also had incredible expressions.

In recent years, Jiusan Grain and Oil has almost become synonymous with non-GMO soybean oil.

Jia Liang also seemed unhappy. Does Jiu San want to abandon Weiwei?
"Jiu San no longer insists on non-GMO grains and oils?"

"Green, safe, and creating non-GMO healthy food has always been Jiusan's corporate philosophy." Xue Liqiang said confidently.

"But companies also need to plan ahead, and going to the coastal areas to process imported soybeans is just a way to survive."

"Mr. Guo, what are Jiahe's conditions?"

Guo Yang didn't keep it a secret.
"The prerequisite for the cooperation is that Weiwei will transfer the livestock industry in Xinjiang Province to Jiahe, the three parties will jointly invest in the improvement of saline-alkali land and the soybean base, and a new crushing plant will also be built."

Jia Liang seemed to be irritated. Vivi had been in the dairy industry for four years and had invested huge amounts of money, but not only had it seen no results, it had also been met with cold ridicule from all walks of life.

Jiahe brought this up deliberately again, the most important thing is that Weiwei has no money.

Jia Liang yelled: "Impossible!" "Then there's nothing to talk about." Guo Yang said bluntly.

Jia Liang stood up suddenly and pretended to leave, but Xue Liqiang remained indifferent.

After angrily glancing around, Jia Liang turned and left.

Guo Yang smiled and said to Xue Liqiang, "Okay, the people without money have left, now we can talk."

"Good boy, I did it on purpose. Aren't you afraid of offending people?" Xue Liqiang relaxed and said with a smile.

"What are you afraid of? We are competitors."

“I really had an eye-opener today!”

Guo Yang chuckled twice. When it comes to business negotiations, he is a self-taught person. Besides, Jiahe has sufficient cash flow, so he doesn't need it at all.

On the contrary, Weiwei is a paper tiger.

Guo Yang directly expressed his idea, "Find a piece of saline-alkali land in the coastal area and cooperate to build a 30-acre organic soybean planting base."

“Organically grown, sure?”

Guo Yang nodded affirmatively.

"The soybean farming season has passed this year, but it is still in time to plant Alfalfa No. 1. In early May next year, we will turn over the green manure, then sow organic soybeans, and sow green manure again during the winter to form a crop rotation."

Xue Liqiang's eyes lit up and he thought for a moment, "With green manure, soil fertility is not a problem, but can we control pests and diseases without using pesticides?"

"Weeds are removed by tilling with agricultural machinery. As for pests and diseases, the botanical pesticide developed by Quanwang Biotechnology, a subsidiary of Jiahe, will be launched on the market next year."

"All-King Biological, plant-derived pesticides?"

Xue Liqiang was really shocked this time. Because of the pressure, he lowered his attitude and kept praising Jiahe from the moment they met.

It's a bit false!

But to be honest, there is almost no research and development and application of botanical pesticides in China at this stage.

Botanical pesticides have high scientific and technological content, which requires not only considerable physical and chemical knowledge, but also biological knowledge such as insects, plant diseases and microorganisms;

When using it, you also need to consider the right time, place, people and method.

Another problem is that biological pesticides are expensive, farmers are unwilling to buy them, and consumers are unwilling to accept high-quality and high-priced agricultural products.

But genetically modified soybeans are well known to everyone. If we launch a brand of organic certified soybeans at this time, the market demand both at home and abroad will be considerable.

Xue Liqiang said: "Isn't 30 mu too little? Jiusan Branch has 2000 million mu of soybean base. Why not build 100 million mu of organic planting in Northeast China?"

Guo Yang curled his lips.

Jiahe also likes that you have a base of 2000 million mu and that Northeast China is a world-certified non-GMO soybean growing area.

He went to great lengths to do this just to cultivate high-quality customers for Tiandou No. 1 Seeds.

Otherwise, if domestic soybeans fail, who will we sell the seeds to?

Guo Yang found an excuse.

"We won't go to Northeast Jiahe. Jiahe can't adapt to the order planting model between you and the soybean farmers, but Tianhe's seeds can be provided to you first."

Xue Liqiang pondered, "In this case, Jiusan will continue to build its processing plants along the coast. Will Jiahe invest in it?"

"Are you willing?"

"Hahaha, don't make Jiu San sound so petty."

"Jiahe will not participate. The national oil and fat industry will be handed over to you. Jiahe will provide you with seeds and technical services."

Xue Liqiang laughed loudly: "Good boy, you want to throw all the hard work on us, right?"

Finally, Jiahe reached a preliminary agreement with Jiusan Grain and Oil to build a 30-acre organic soybean planting base along the coast.

After the meeting, Xue Liqiang made an appointment with the Weiguang leadership team to have dinner together in the evening, and then left first.

Guo Yang hurriedly called Yu Qin, the general manager of Quanwang Biology.

"Yu Qin, can botanical pesticides be put into practical use? Can they be used to treat soybean diseases and insect pests?"

Yu Qin said: "Yes, we have mastered the technology. If there is market demand, we can build a factory to produce it."

Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "Is it extracted from poisonous grasses such as wolfsbane and bitter beans?"

“Fungicides are mainly ingredients extracted from poisonous weeds; however, the main ingredient of insecticides is capsaicin, which can be divided into contact killers and repellent killers.”

"Repellent?" Guo Yang asked.

"Yes, by using the strong irritation of capsaicin and spraying it on the leaves of plants, it can effectively repel pests, rats and termites."

Guo Yang was surprised for a moment. The OmniKing Biological had hidden a lot of things, but due to the small market, it couldn't make a big splash.

For example, repellents are probably only used in private gardens or balconies.

After chatting for a while, we learned that Quanwang Bio's performance in the past two years was good, but there was almost no profit, as it was mainly engaged in various strange research and development.

In addition to the pepper processing business, which still occupies a dominant position, Quanwang is also involved in conventional extraction of red pigment, capsaicin, etc.

Others are a bit different, such as the extraction and development of plant-derived pesticide ingredients such as poisonous weeds and feed additives;
Natural plants prevent hair loss,
Male animal sterilization,
Plant Chinese medicine...

With the breakthrough in plant extraction technology, some of Quanwang Bio's research and development results have entered the 'no man's land'.

The biotechnology R&D personnel within Golden Harvest are known as the Breaking Bad team, and they have a special liking for various poisonous plants.

On the other hand, when Jia Liang learned that Jiusan and Jiahe had reached a cooperation, it was about organic soybean cultivation.

I was so angry that I almost vomited blood!

The brand of organic soy milk is also very famous!
