Chapter 164 We Can Talk Too
The afterglow of the sun dyed the sky red throughout the afternoon.

Guo Yang communicated with Yu Qin for a while, and then sat alone drinking tea, thinking about the development plan that Yu Qin and the Strategic Investment Department had come up with.

In the past three years, the total amount of dried chili peppers processed by Quanwang has reached tens of thousands of tons, and the annual processing volume has increased more than ten times compared to before the industrial integration.

The affected cultivated land area exceeds 10 mu, benefiting nearly 10 farmers.

This has also led to the development of an industrial chain for processing and selling raw materials such as dried chilies, and the construction of an agricultural product processing system involving multiple fields.

This means that the major pepper growers in Gangu and Jinchuan no longer have to worry about sales.

More and more farmers are getting out of poverty.

But Yu Qin, the leader of the Omni King, has many ideas.

The upper limit of the pepper industry in Long Province has encountered a bottleneck.

When Quanwang's dried chili business expanded to the national market, it inevitably encountered resistance.

Yu Qin did not intend to compete head-on with Lao Gan Ma and other companies, but instead found a different way and used the profits to start research on plant extraction, separation and development.

With the technical support of the Jiahe system, a lot of results have been achieved.

With results, we naturally want to develop.

Long Province is rich in plant resources and is also the best growing place for some plants.

Thinking about Yu Qin's development route, we will support a number of enterprises engaged in the primary extraction and raw material pretreatment of specialty agricultural products, and have Quanwang, which has stronger technical strength, carry out intensive processing.

The planning was not done by Yu Qin alone. Jiahe Strategic Investment Department was also involved. The information was very detailed, but Guo Yang deliberately delayed reading it.

The group cannot use its cash flow to support the Omni King for the time being, so everything depends on the Omni King himself.

After a while, Yang Cheng walked in and said, "Boss, the Ministry of Agriculture called and a leader wants to see you."

lead?

After communicating with the other party for a few words, Guo Yang's eyes flickered.

If his guess is correct, it may not be a bad thing for Jiahe.

Guo Yang said to Yang Cheng: "You lead the team at Jiusan Grain and Oil tonight. I won't go."

Yang Cheng also understood the importance of the matter. "Okay, but I have to fight hard again. I'm from the Northeast, so a fierce battle is inevitable. I'll be criticized again when I go back."

Guo Yang frowned. Northeastern people are well-known for their ability to drink. He advised, "Take it easy. If you can't drink, just pretend to be drunk."

Yang Cheng nodded.

Guo Yang then called Xue Liqiang to apologize and rushed to the agreed location.

In a beautifully decorated private restaurant, Guo Yang met Director Chen of the Animal Husbandry Bureau, and two men beside him.

After the introduction, Guo Yang learned that the two people were the heads of the strategic investment departments of China Agricultural Development Group and China National Grain Group, You Fuxian and Zhuang Ke respectively.

Director Chen looked at Guo Yang's cautious appearance and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo, today is a private gathering, just a simple chat."

Guo Yang did not comment, not giving him time to think about it.

Both Huanongfa and Guoliang are state-owned enterprises, and everyone knows what the problem is.

"Leader, Jiahe Temple is small and cannot withstand the turmoil."

"Jiahe is now a star enterprise in the agricultural field and has a good reputation among the leaders."

"That is, Jiahe is involved in animal husbandry, seed industry, agricultural machinery, agricultural product processing, etc., and it is doing well in all of them."

Zhuang Ke and You Fuxian spoke one after another, their tone gentle and their words were nice.

Guo Yang laughed and said, "No, no, compared with Huanongfa and Guoliang Group, they are just like mice and elephants."

After chatting for a while, I heard Zhuang Ke from the National Grain Bureau sigh: "The food security problem is serious now!"

You Fuxian said: "That is why the leaders asked to grow granaries on saline-alkali land after Alfalfa No. 1 was launched."

Guo Yang figured it out, and the two of them began to get to the point.

Director Chen smiled and looked at Guo Yang and said, "I heard that Jiahe is interested in taking over Delong Livestock?"

Zhuang Ke and You Fu listened first and looked at Guo Yang with smiles on their faces.

"Haha, Delong Livestock's business is so bad that even the National Grain Group doesn't dare to take it over, so how can Jiahe dare?"

Guo Yang answered perfunctorily, saying that it would be better to lease Delong's physical assets in private. If the State Grain and Agricultural Development Bank found out, who knows what the result would be.

Chatted for a while.

You Fuxian from the Agricultural Development Group suddenly said, "Why don't you continue to expand Jiahe's saline-alkali wasteland improvement project?"

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, "Why, Nongfa is also going to develop saline-alkali land projects?"

Director Chen smiled and said, "In March this year, the Agricultural Development Group took over the Agricultural Reclamation Corporation. Originally, it was planning to join forces with more than a dozen companies to contract soybean planting bases in Brazil."

Soybean cultivation? South America again!
Guo Yang realized that the domestic demand for feed was strong, and importing genetically modified soybeans was inevitable.

In the past, Chinese companies have entered South America one after another, and competed head-on with the United States. No wonder the livestock and the others have gathered together.

As far as he knows, Nongfa also has animal husbandry and seed industries, and the Shandan Military Horse Farm in Gansu Province is a second-level enterprise of Nongfa.

Guo Yang asked: "Is the domestic soybean situation serious?"

Zhuang Ke restrained his smile. "Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Guo. The article he published last year reminded us that the state-owned soybean crushing companies all hedged and avoided being wiped out."

"But this year, the US's soybean subsidies are not limited to production and planting. Export and transportation subsidies have also been increased. It is clear that they are targeting us."

"This year, the domestic soybean planting area has shrunk significantly, and oil processing companies have either closed down or stopped production."

"Currently, the four major grain traders and foreign companies such as Sinar Mas and Charoen Pokphand control 40% of the country's soybean processing capacity and 90% of soybean imports."

“The four major grain traders even proposed a joint venture with Jiusan, but the prerequisite was that Jiusan would separate the enterprises that process domestic soybeans in soybean producing areas.

Once Jiu San cooperates with them, more than 90% of the domestic soybean market will be controlled by foreign countries. "

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and Guo Yang had to sort it out before he understood it.

"Does this mean that the higher-ups have also given Jiu San Grain and Oil a political mission?"

"What do you think? The US imperialists' goals have never stopped.

The top leaders even raised the economic issue to a political issue and exerted pressure many times, otherwise the domestic GMO management regulations would not be relaxed. "

The waiter came in to pour tea and water, and Guo Yang took the opportunity to relax.

I didn’t expect that Jiusan Grain and Oil would face such pressure. Northeast China is the only major soybean producing area in the world that has not been contaminated by genetically modified organisms.

The four major grain traders really have ulterior motives!
No wonder Jiusan Grain and Oil wanted to start with Jiahe.

Starting from the layout of soybean futures, publishing articles about food war, to the improvement of saline-alkali land, and the cultivation of Tiandou No. 1.

Unknowingly, Jiahe’s involvement with domestic soybeans has become increasingly deep.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the National Grain and Agricultural Development Bank of China came to talk to him.

After the waiter left, You Fuxian revealed his true purpose.

"Local finances in saline-alkali areas are short of money, and subsidy funds can only cover medium and low-yield fields. The authorities have given the Agricultural Development and State Grain Bureau mandatory tasks."

"In two years, 2000 million mu of coastal saline-alkali wasteland will be improved for soybean cultivation!"

"2000 acres!"

Looking at the confident eyes of several people, Guo Yang was dumbfounded. 2000 million acres of saline-alkali wasteland?

Are you stimulated by the Americans?

It’s not that Guo Yang is against state-owned enterprises, but the current state-owned enterprises are lacking in the development of land resources.

Places like Beidahuang, which owns tens of millions of acres of land, have also fallen into the trap of making profits by renting out the land.

"So, is Jiahe interested in a piece of land, say 200 million acres?"

Guo Yang shook his head like a rattle, "The northwest has been enough for Jiahe to operate for many years. We won't participate in the coastal areas, and we can't play with them either."

"Does Jiahe have any idea of ​​raising funds?"

Guo Yang's heart sank, here it comes, here it comes, this is what you really think!
You Fuxian said: "Alfalfa No. 1 is indispensable for improving saline-alkali wasteland, and Tiandou No. 1 will also play a role in the future."

Guo Yang said: "In terms of seeds, Jiahe will definitely go all out to produce and give priority to meeting national needs."

You Fuxian, Zhuang Ke, and Director Chen stared at him closely; the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Guo Yang understood that there would be no problem if he refused.

financing?

He wanted to say no.

But after thinking for a while, he gave an ambiguous answer, "We can talk."

After thinking about it, I agreed to it, which was a bit of a disadvantage, so Guo Yang also put forward his conditions.

"Jiahe is interested in taking over the Delong Group's legacy: Delong Livestock and Denong Agricultural Supermarket. I hope the Ministry can coordinate."

"At the same time, Jiahe also intends to expand overseas. When Nongfa and Guoliang have big projects, Jiahe can also participate."

Seeing that they were still relaxed and comfortable, Guo Yang understood that his requirements were not high.

He then asked tentatively, "Is it possible for Jiahe to get involved in the Lop Nur potash mine project?"

You Fuxian and Zhuang Ke looked at each other in bewilderment.

This is really a bold idea!
But if you think about it carefully, Luo Potassium Company has more than one shareholder.

China Development Bank is increasing its capital and expanding its shares in Luo Potassium Company. There must be small shareholders who do not have the money for additional investment, so it is not impossible for them to give up some shares.

Director Chen said, "We can talk about it."
