Chapter 190 Arrival
The content of the call was simple.

The leader confirmed that he will be coming soon, but the schedule was changed temporarily, but he didn’t say the specific date.

It might just be a smokescreen.

But this made Guo Yang feel relieved.

Otherwise, it’s no use wasting time here, as September and October are the harvest season for Jiahe.

In addition, Guannong shares are selling shares of Luo Potassium Company again, but Jiahe has also figured out the inside story and the Corps Agricultural Division has a big appetite.

It is not only targeting the shares of Luo Potassium Company, but also wants to directly control Guannong Shares.

No wonder Guannong is anxious. Someone is trying to get it back behind the scenes. Its dire situation is directly reflected in its stock price, which has continued to fall.

The Strategic Investment Department is a little concerned about the Agricultural Engineer, but Guo Yang thinks it is not necessary to care too much. If I really offend you, I will not develop in your territory.

Now Jiahe and Guannong are already in substantive contact.

Guo Yang first called Lu Hanbin and asked him to prepare all the work, and then he wandered around the Internet.

In addition to information about Shahai, he also deliberately searched for information about other companies under Golden Harvest.

The past two days have been all about the sea of ​​sand, but the popularity of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Hexi Dairy is also quite high.

It is still easy to find relevant articles and posts on portal websites and various forums.

It’s quite interesting to read netizens’ comments about my company.

Whether praise or criticism, it is a form of feedback.

Not to mention that Guo Yang also saw several interesting posts on Tianya Forum.

[Are Chinese dairy cows not worthy of eating alfalfa?]

It explains in easy-to-understand terms the importance of alfalfa, the king of forage grasses, to dairy cows. It sharply satirizes the tragic plight of domestic dairy cows and, by the way, advertises Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.

There is also this article: [The conscientious words of a dairy worker...]

It exposed various unsightly phenomena in the industry with extremely sharp words, which triggered crazy complaints from netizens.

"After drinking the deer milk powder, my waist pain is gone, my legs are no longer sore, and even my heartbeats are gone."

All I can say is that there are talented netizens in every era.

In this discussion, there are some brands that have received strong support from netizens, and Hexi Milk is one of them.

At that time, Hexi Dairy had not yet started its promotion, which further demonstrated its value.

However, Hexi milk has also been criticized by many people because it has not yet been distributed in many places and netizens cannot buy it at all.

Guo Yang simply replied with a few words.

"It's almost done, it's almost done. Hexi Dairy's ranches and processing workshops are under construction in various places."

"Hexi Dairy also produces milk powder. You can keep an eye on supermarket shelves recently."

...

After surfing for a while and doing some work, I heard the sound of people talking in the stairwell.

"Many people from Minqin who have left their hometown are concerned about this land. We have set up our own website - Save Minqin."

Lu Hanbin's office was just to the right of the stairs on the second floor. Through the open door, Guo Yang saw the bald-headed Zhuang Zheng walking up with a slightly mature young man.

"We plan to organize volunteers to participate in the tree planting event through the website and social media, and more than 10 people are ready to participate."

"I want to come to the Sea of ​​Sand to learn from you."

"Shahai can provide some help, but Shahai is not a non-profit organization..."

"I am also exploring nearby deserts suitable for afforestation, for the planting of Haloxylon ammodendron trees for public benefit..."

The sound gradually faded away, and Guo Yang became thoughtful, thinking of the photos on the Internet.

I started searching on the computer page and soon found the Save Minqin website.

Just a simple page.

The popularity of the above posts is not low. The latest hot post was posted by someone called Yikesongshu.

A large number of photos were uploaded, including Haloxylon ammodendron trees, grass grids, and vests printed with "Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry", and a large number of netizens left messages under the topic.

Guo Yang made a comparison and found that the shooting technique was not very good, and not as contagious as Zhang Jing's shots.

But even so, it has attracted enthusiastic support from netizens inside and outside the site.

The vast majority of people on the website are from Minqin, and they have deep memories of the yellow sand all over the sky.

The figure of the Haloxylon ammodendron tree pierces my heart.

It seduces the wanderer's desire to defend his homeland.

A pine tree?
It is very likely that this is the person that Zhuang Zheng was talking to just now.

I read some other posts on the website.

The most common content is various technical information about sand control, as well as discussions among netizens.

Guo Yang pondered.

"The Volunteer Association is a loose organization that relies entirely on passion, but these people come from all walks of life. The best way to describe them is to say that they are like a fire when together and like stars in the sky when apart."

"Charity activities...planting trees..."

In later generations, many large companies were keen on doing charity.

Logically speaking, there is no need to pay any attention to the sea of ​​sand, because the sea of ​​sand itself is a feat.

However, mobilizing social groups online and getting the masses involved can greatly enhance the corporate image and bring about huge social benefits.

For example, Ant Forest has planted less than four million mu of trees in total, while the Three North Shelterbelt Project has planted 4.3 million mu of trees in total, which is less than one percent of that.

But Ant Forest has made netizens across the country aware of and involved in protecting the environment.

No one can deny its sense of social responsibility.

The nature of the sea of ​​sand is to make money.

Maybe Golden Harvest can also launch a similar charity event.

How did Ant Forest come about?

It seems that one needs to collect some kind of energy before planting trees.

It's similar to a seed store.

Guo Yang immediately had a bad taste in his mouth. He wanted to make a game similar to the seed store? Everyone collecting natural energy?

It’s quite interesting to think about.

Even now, we have not entered the era of smartphones, and conditions in all aspects are not yet mature, so we need to think carefully.

Guo Yang saw a pine tree in the office go away, then walked towards the office in the corner of the corridor.

Zhuang was smoking. When he saw Guo Yang come in, he immediately put out the cigarette.

"boss."

Guo Yang said: "Is that person from the Volunteer Association?"

"Yes, they want to organize a tree planting event. I think it's a good idea, so I agreed to provide them with a venue."

"The area of ​​the sand sea is fine for them to use temporarily, but it's not suitable for the long term."

Zhuang Zheng was a little unsure of his boss's attitude, "Han Jiesong is also scouting the site himself."

Guo Yang smiled and asked, "Can Shahai also launch similar charity activities on the Internet?"

Zhuang Zheng was stunned and didn't react for a moment. Is it necessary for Sha Hai to do this?

"There should be many people in society willing to participate. We can select some areas to build public welfare Haloxylon ammodendron forests. People can plant trees themselves or spend money, such as how much a Haloxylon ammodendron tree costs."

"I have another immature idea. I want to develop a tree-planting game. Players can gain energy by completing various tasks. When a certain amount of energy is accumulated, the sand sea will plant a Haloxylon ammodendron tree on their behalf, and the player will obtain ownership of the tree..."

"I'll just give you an idea, and you guys can study and refine it in detail."

Guo Yang spoke a lot in a very eloquent manner, leaving the difficult questions to Zhuang Zheng. No wonder no one likes leaders coming to inspect.

Before leaving, thinking of the leader's coming, he added, "Well, for the tree planting activity of the volunteers, you can first circle the tree planting site, put up signs and banners, and make it more conspicuous."

……

After handling and arranging everything, Guo Yang thought it was time to get together with his brothers and sisters.

In order to survive, seven brothers and sisters migrated out one after another.

Except for the two sisters, the fourth sister and the fifth sister who married far away, the families of the second brother, the third sister and the sixth brother were all labor migrants. They did not move far away, but to nearby provinces, and their lives were not very good.

After Guo Yang settled his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he asked them to contact the rest of the people. Except for the fourth and fifth sisters who married far away, the second brother, third sister, and sixth brother all moved back.

In addition to basic housing security, some job opportunities are also provided. It is not that good, but Guo Yang also thinks he is doing a good job.

In his memory, except for his eldest brother and his wife, his other brothers and sisters bullied him a lot when they were young. The most vivid memory in his mind was the scene of his food being taken away, just like the stronger ones in the eagle's nest would push the weaker ones off the cliff.

Fortunately, after he was admitted to university, his brothers and sisters raised money for him.

When Guo Yang opened the door of the private room, his eldest brother, second brother, third sister, sixth brother and their families were all there, and the large round table was almost full.

The only one left was a fashionable woman who stood up in the first seat in a vulgar manner.

"My little brother is here, come and sit down, come and sit down."

As he spoke, he also pushed the stool forward.

Guo Yang raised his eyebrows and looked around. His brothers and sisters were all silent, but Sixth Sister-in-law was quite active.

Before coming, he had tried his best to recall his memories of his brothers and sisters.

The eldest brother is an honest farmer who doesn't talk much and is a little dull, but the eldest sister-in-law is just not as stubborn as the eldest brother. The two of them have only one daughter, Guo Xia, who graduated from a normal school last year and now teaches in a county primary school.

My second brother was a capable man with carpentry skills. He was a skilled worker on a construction site and could occasionally take on his own work and earn some money. However, my second sister-in-law could not manage the money and her two children dropped out of school early.

The third sister has a hot-tempered personality and is very calculative. She married a cement worker. She is also a money-saving person, but no one can borrow a penny from her. It seems that she also has a son and a daughter.

The sixth brother originally worked for a local boss in the feed business, so he had some prospects for success, but later he ran away to another place in order to marry a beautiful wife. The sixth sister-in-law also seemed to be a mean person, and she had two daughters who were still studying at her parents' home.

It was originally an ordinary family that was about to go their separate ways, but because of the accident caused by Guo Yang, they came together again.

Coming back to his senses, Guo Yang ignored his busy sister-in-law and found a nearby seat to sit down.

"I can just sit next to Xiaoxia. Big brother should sit in the first seat."

The sixth sister-in-law stood there awkwardly, wanting to say that her eldest brother was just a useless farmer, but she knew that her husband would turn against her as soon as she said that.

Guo Shan said, "Just sit anywhere. Why should we be so particular as a family?"

The second brother Guo Gang had already been impatient. The relationship between the siblings was not that good to begin with, so why were they being so pretendly polite?

"Waiter, serve the food, serve the food!"

Then he distributed some wine to those who wanted to drink. Once the alcohol took effect, everyone started chatting.

The Sixth Sister-in-law said, "Xiaoyang, your two nieces are about to graduate from junior high school and can't continue their studies. Can you arrange a job for them in the company?"

The eldest brother drank alone and said, "You are too young. You should study more. You see, my younger brother and Xiaoxia have read a lot of books and have more knowledge. That's why they have a bright future."

Raising two top students has always been the eldest brother's proudest point. No one in the village is willing to talk about this with him, especially when they are drunk.

Guo Xia and Guo Yang are a pair of powerful opponents.

"My two daughters can't concentrate on their studies. How can they get into high school with only 20 or 30 points in math?"

"Why didn't you bring the baby back earlier? At least Xiaoxia could have taken care of him in Minqin. It's too late now."

Sixth sister-in-law's blood pressure soared. No matter where she was, she was most annoyed by those who showed off their children's good grades.

Guo Yang said: "Keep studying, come back home, and I will take care of your high school education."

The dinner was quite bland.

Guo Yang didn't have much hope for them. He would help them if he could, but he wouldn't leave them alone.

Among the whole family, only Guo Xia and his second brother's son Guo Zhang made him feel that they had the potential to enter the middle and senior management of Jiahe in the future.

But Guo Xia is an elementary school teacher and has no plans to work in Jiahe; Guo Zhang is a salesman at Tianhe Seed Industry. He is able to endure hardships and has high emotional intelligence, but his educational level is low and he dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school.

...

Minqin is calm and peaceful at night, like a peaceful northwestern town.

But Wei Yu was so nervous that he couldn't sleep. He is the director of the Shiyang River Basin Comprehensive Management Office.

Just now, my superior called and said that the big boss would be here tomorrow morning.

As a staff member, he will go to Hongyashan Reservoir and Qingtu Lake to participate in the exhibition board explanation.

Even though he knew the contents of the display board by heart, he was still worried that his report would not be good and did not sleep a wink all night.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Wei Yu was waiting anxiously when he saw the leader get out of the car, shake hands with the waiting comrades one by one, and greet everyone.

When he shook hands with the big leader, at that moment, he felt that the big leader was so familiar and kind.

Wei Yu thought he was the last one to shake hands with the big leader, but he didn't expect there was another tall young man.

The leader's smile seemed to be more kind.

"What a young talent! Golden Harvest Group is a company with social responsibility!"

Guo Yang's tense nerves also relaxed.

The senior leader stood in front of the display board, listening to the introduction of the relevant person in charge and asking about the situation in the Shiyang River Basin.

Guo Yang noticed that when he heard that the total runoff of Shiyang River was 16 billion m, the leader nodded and said, "16 billion, Heihe River is also 16 billion."

This shows that the top leaders are very clear about the situation in the basin.

Guo Yang couldn't help but look forward to it.

Walk up the steps to the embankment of Hongyashan Reservoir, and look out to see the sparkling water and swarming water birds.

On the top of the Hongyashan Reservoir, the top leader used a high-power telescope to observe the merging and management of the Badain Jaran Desert and the Tengger Desert.

“How far are the two deserts from the reservoir?”

"More than 10,000 meters."

The leader nodded. He clearly remembered that the document he approved a few years ago stated that it was only a few hundred meters.

Through the telescope, several large signs of Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry can be seen particularly clearly.

...

Visit the Sand Control Exhibition Hall;
Talking to the old man who worked on sand control, he said, "Sand suppression, tree control, windbreaks, this is the life of a sand control worker."

Sitting cross-legged on the kang in a farmer's house for forty minutes;
Visit community cadres;

You never know whose door he will knock on.

...

It was around 3 pm that Guo Yang met the leader again in front of the solar greenhouse in Jiazitan.

As soon as the leader got out of the car, he walked into the crowd with a smile and shook hands with everyone in the front row one by one.

You can see that he is in a good mood.

However, Guo Yang clearly noticed that the accompanying Propaganda Minister had a gloomy face, perhaps because he was angry about the barren beaches and deserts along the way.

Such a large area of ​​land was abandoned, and the last settlement was too close to the desert.

The top leader visited the immigrants' new homes, visited each household, inquired carefully about their production and living conditions, and chatted with the farmers.

The village chief said: "They are all brick houses, each covering about one mu of land. Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has built greenhouses and provided a large number of jobs. Now everyone's conditions are much better."

"Life is better and the burden is less."

No one knows what the big boss is thinking.

He read quickly but carefully, remembering many details clearly. Sometimes a casual question would leave the city leaders speechless.

The main reason is that the contrast is too strong.

In the ecological immigration area established based on farming and animal husbandry in the sand sea, the conditions in people's homes are obviously better, with all kinds of furniture available, and they can even provide fruits for entertaining.

And what about before that?
The homes of those who have not immigrated are in a mess, and the homes of those who have immigrated can't even find a few stools. People also complain from time to time about the poor quality of the drinking water.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the solar greenhouse played a major role.

The big boss was also very curious and took the lead to find out what was going on.

The honeydew melons, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers hanging in the greenhouse are like pearls scattered among the green branches and leaves, which are fascinating.

Guo Yang was accompanying him, and he seemed to be able to feel the leader's inner turmoil at the moment.

“What is the purpose of building a solar greenhouse?”

Guo Yang said: "Increasing farmers' income means that for local farmers, increased income means less pressure on land desertification.

On the one hand, with the increase in unit output value, farmers no longer need to rely on reclaiming wasteland and digging wells to make a living.

On the other hand, more people will stay in Minqin. Only when the lives of local people improve and there is hope for staying in their hometown, will they really stay.

Only by retaining people can we preserve the Minqin Oasis. If we cannot guarantee the income of residents in desertified areas, then all our governance actions will be in vain. "

The big boss smiled indifferently, and Guo Yang felt like the manuscript he had carefully prepared was like a punch on cotton.

After leaving the greenhouse, the leader took the initiative to walk up to the people waiting outside and started chatting with them.

Guo Yang saw him pull an old man with a bronze, wrinkled face from the crowd, patted him on the shoulder and asked kindly: "How is the harvest this year? How much water can the greenhouse save?"
