Chapter 186

The car once again passed through the road pushed out by the desert bulldozer. The Haloxylon ammodendron forests on both sides guarded this land like a royal guard, and the wind and sand no longer danced.

It was still the same ordinary two-story white building, but Guo Yang felt different when he saw the words "Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry", as if a child had suddenly grown from a toddler to a graceful young lady after not seeing him for a few years.

In the yard in front of the small white building, in addition to several pickup trucks, there was also a van.

Luo Xiu went forward to verify the types and quantities, found no mistakes, paid the money, and the workers began to unload the goods.

"Drive two pickup trucks and go directly to the nursery greenhouse to find Li Qi."

Lu Hanbin is arranging work.

Guo Yang took this opportunity to go to his office to look at some information.

Because it is a two-story residential building, the office is only about 10 square meters, with two sofas, a desk more than two meters wide, and a pot of green plants.

The space is a bit cramped.

In addition to the computer, there is a pile of books on the table. There are all kinds of books, such as "Sand Control and Ecological Environment Practical Technology", "Water-saving Technology of Irrigation and Drainage Machinery", "Introduction and Domestication of Wild Forage Grass", "Grass Planting and Sheep Raising Technology"...

On the top layer is a book called "China's Sand Control Revelation" published in 2004, and in front of the computer is a book called "China's Sand Prevention and Control Law".

It seems that it is often turned over.

Guo Yang picked it up and took a look. The Book of Revelation mainly tells about the achievements, experiences and inspirations of China's sand prevention and control in the past 50 years. It contains a lot of theoretical knowledge on scientific and technological sand control and engineering sand control.

The other is legal regulations.

Both books have a lot of annotations, especially legal regulations and various policy subsidies, which are almost filled with dense text.

Some laws and regulations also briefly state the time and examples encountered on one side.

Relevant records are also made of which subsidies have been applied for and which have not been applied for.

The text is well illustrated, but there is too much theoretical knowledge. Guo Yang did not expect Lu Hanbin to have gone into such depth.

But think about it, the burden of hundreds of thousands of acres and nearly 200 million yuan of funds every year falls on him.

There were countless people staring.

The supervision of the group, the employees below, the local people and thugs, the local government...

Without some real ideas in their heads, Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry might not be able to survive halfway.

In addition to books, there are also many other documents on the file rack waiting for approval and signature, such as fuel reimbursement forms, acceptance forms, payment applications, etc.

After watching for a while, Lu Hanbin went upstairs and entered the office. Following him was a woman in her thirties, whose appearance was outstanding in this desert.

Guo Yang got up from his office chair and sat on the sofa, pointing at the pile of books and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Jiahe's senior management would have an expert in sand control."

"I'm not an expert at all. I just took a look at it at noon."

Lu Hanbin sat down in his office chair. "I'll review a few documents first and leave when I'm done."

"You go about your business."

Guo Yang was walking around the office area. It was a very ordinary environment, just like the village governments in rural areas in the future, with a two-story building and a spacious courtyard.

Inherited Jiahe's consistent style.

Agriculture is simple and practical, so why make it so fancy?

But the corporate headquarters still managed to improve its image.

Guo Yang didn't chat with anyone either.

There were nearly 20 people at the drinking party in the evening.

Guo Yang wanted to call his elder brother and sister-in-law, but they refused, saying that he was too career-oriented and had been busy since he came back.

Guo Yang listened silently, feeling full of guilt towards his relatives and could only compensate them materially.

The more than 100,000 acres of sandy land in Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry are divided into six major areas, three project departments and one company headquarters.

In addition, there is a solar greenhouse, which was originally built by Tianhe Seed Industry and later directly registered under Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.

There were about 20 people, including the company's employees and the main persons in charge of each area.

There are still dozens of grassroots technicians and managers who have not arrived yet. Guo Yang plans to visit each project department in a few days.

After Lu Hanbin and others had made all the arrangements, a group of people drove to the hotel that had been booked long ago.

Guo Yang looked through the rearview mirror and saw that they were all pickup trucks, each with the words "Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry" clearly printed on it.

This scene doesn't seem like they are going to have a meal, but more like they are going to fight.

Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has more than a dozen pickup trucks. If they were all put together, what would it look like driving in the desert?

Guo Yang thought of the scenes when African warlords were fighting.

In the evening, taking the opportunity to interact with employees, Guo Yang used his third-rate speaking skills and first-rate pie-in-the-sky painting skills to carry out ideological construction for employees.

Through communication, I also gained a better understanding of the sand sea.

Due to the large number of people, the management is still a bit extensive.

But judging from the existing conditions, there is actually a slight shortage of grassroots staff.

For example, normally the professional sand control team consists of more than 3000 people compacting sand every day, but during surprise attacks, there are often to people, or to people planting trees.

There are more than 70 technicians, and each of them has to manage at least workers on average.

Friends who have had related experiences know what a devilish scene this is.

In his previous life, Guo Yang had the experience of managing more than 80 workers to farm the land. The feeling was indescribable, as if a pot of moving dumplings was running around in the land.

It's so dazzling and I don't know where to start.

where am I? What am I doing?
Therefore, each district leader has said that the efficiency of sudden sand control and tree planting is too low. Although professional sand control teams are expensive, their individual efficiency is higher. One person can compact more than one acre of grass squares a day, but a group of people may only be able to cover six or seven acres of land, or even less.

There are still some problems.

For example, each area has independent logistics, but the warehouses are unified and far away, so every time we need supplies, we have to start coordinating a few days in advance. The accommodation environment of the project department is poor...

The district chief below was very brave and didn't care at all that Lu Hanbin was right in front of him.

The district leaders are basically well-known local figures, which may be one of the reasons why they dare to speak out.

Guo Yang looked at Lu Hanbin, who was walking around toasting each other with a normal expression on his face, and knew how hard it was for him.

Like the Jiahe Group, Shahai is a company with mediocre management level. The group breaks through with high-quality products, while Shahai relies on continuous capital injection from its parent company.

But dealing directly with farmers in Shahai would certainly be much more difficult.

Under the influence of alcohol, some people reported Guo Yang openly or secretly.

Mysterious.

"Farmers and herdsmen signed a sand control agreement with the government, and the cost was only 1000 yuan per mu, but the cost of sand control in the sand sea has reached more than 3000 yuan."

"Corruption is rampant among the company's top brass."

“Someone is lining his own pockets.”

“There’s something fishy about procurement.”

"Every time I report the gas bill, I'm always so stingy and drag my feet."

Guo Yang just listened silently, without expressing his opinion or stopping it.

Afterwards, he and several old employees including Lu Hanbin, Zhang Jing, and Zhuang Zheng found a place to drink tea.

I mentioned this matter.

Lu Hanbin was very calm, and even had the energy to chat and laugh, "If the superiors do what the subordinates do, they will follow suit. If I dare to mess around, the subordinates will mess up even more.

Previously, we have discovered the phenomenon of falsely reporting the number of employees, recording the work of their relatives and friends, but not going to the site to work, falsely reporting the number of saplings, falsely reporting expenses, and directing water trucks to water other families' Haloxylon ammodendrons...

A lot of people have driven the car, and the people under them are very cunning. They don't take good care of the car and abuse it for personal purposes. The annual fuel, maintenance, insurance, and repairs cost one or two million.

Later, the vehicle authority was tightened and all was handed over to technicians and college students from other places. Many embarrassing things happened, such as driving into trees and hitting wild boars, but these people took good care of their cars, cleaned and maintained them regularly, and were more disciplined.

As for the saplings, we didn’t have enough saplings in the first year, so we purchased a batch from outside. But they were old and small, and their roots were all curled up into a ball, so we had to stop the loss in time;

Of the 1,000 people who migrated to Xinjiang for ecological reasons, 80 to 90 percent have returned, and conflicts have arisen, so they are asking the government to migrate again.

The newly planted Haloxylon ammodendron has no camels to eat its leaves, so it regenerates slowly, lacks fertilizer, and is infested by rodents..."

Guo Yang listened to Lu Hanbin recounting various details without interrupting him. The losses suffered in the agricultural industry came in various forms.

He inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, as if he was back on the front line of agricultural production.

Lu Hanbin said: "I attended a training session before and met the CEO of a fruit company. He said that the higher up you go in the agricultural professional manager industry, the more important your reputation becomes, and management ability becomes second."

Guo Yang had heard this many times in his past and present lives, and he quite agreed with it.

The nature of agricultural management requires that it must be fully decentralized because there are too many variables.

Therefore, professional managers need to have good ethics.

But it is difficult for such people to make a fortune.

For example, regarding the seedlings, if Lu Hanbin dared or had the intention to do something small, he could easily make millions of profits from Jiahe by just getting some inferior seedlings or asking relatives and friends to set up a nursery, and there would be no trace of any flaws.

Or they just want to make a quick buck and run away, easily making 10 or 20 million in three years.

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Guo Yang was not willing to delve into it. The effect of sand control had been seen, so it was reasonable to leave some room for Lu Hanbin to move around.

But he still wanted to see the details and where the sand control costs were spent.

Looking at Zhang Jing, he is still the same artistic guy, but now he is more mature after more experience.

"Zhang Jing, is your camera still recording? I'll check it out tomorrow."

Zhang Jing said: "I have been recording it all the time, but it may be a bit messy now."

"It's okay. I just want to take a look. If there's a chance, I'll show it to the big boss when he comes."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Han Bin and I discussed before that after Qingtu Lake is restored to a wetland, we will edit it into a documentary and find a place to broadcast it. Not only about the Sand Sea, we are also collecting historical materials from the past."

Guo Yang said appreciatively: "That's a good idea."

The next day, Guo Yang saw Zhang Jing's records as he wished, and he mainly watched the videos.

The raging sandstorms raised dust that covered the sky and the sun. When a sandstorm occurred, the sky was dark and the sun and moon lost their light.

The horrifying salt-alkali crust, the dense wells, the buried houses, the dried-up reservoirs, the wanton discharge of sewage, the ecological refugees who have left their homes...

I don't know how long it's been.

Hundreds of bulldozers, loaders, and dump trucks appeared on the simple picture, and countless sand dunes were razed to the ground.

The sand pit was made as hot as fire, and the people living in the sand sea were sweating profusely in this fiery sand sea.

The arduous battle left everyone's face bronzed, and damaged vehicle parts were constantly being taken away.

Ancient desert river channels that divert water from the Yellow River, reservoir cleaning, river channel dredging, high and low voltage circuits, pumping stations, wells, and rows of water trucks...

Now, the oasis here is vast and boundless.

read it.

"The cost of sand control of more than 3,000 yuan is not expensive."

Lu Hanbin smiled bitterly and said, "I made a lot of mistakes and wasted a lot of money. The direct subsidies from the state, the local seedling subsidies, and the facility subsidies have not been taken into account."

"I said that two and a half years ago."

"I am willing to bear the cost of your mistakes."
