Chapter 192 Harvest
For quite a long time, the media value of Tencent has not matched its traffic.

Its public influence cannot be compared with that of Sina, and its advertising revenue is also inferior to Sina, Sohu and NetEase.

In August 2005, just last month, Tencent announced its transformation from a "news portal for young people" to "aiming to be the best comprehensive portal."

This means that the website, which focuses on entertainment news and young people, will pay more attention to mainstream society.

At this time, Jiahe Group came to us and sought public welfare cooperation.

It is worth mentioning that Golden Harvest Group has acquired a large number of Tencent shares through the secondary market and other channels, and its total shareholding has risen to 5.3%.

Tencent naturally agreed readily.

While the two parties were still finalizing the details of the cooperation, the topics about Minqin and the sand sea once again entered the attention of the mainstream society.

The popularity continues to rise, although it is not as high as national hot topics such as the 04 Olympic Games and the launch of the Shenzhou spacecraft.

But it also caused major portals to compete for the popularity of related topics.

Tencent is not willing to lag behind. While the popularity is still there, QQ's "mini homepage" immediately pops up the public welfare tree planting activity and guides users to the activity page of the Tencent website.

All of a sudden, the influx of people increased again, driving up the topic of desert control.

In the two-story building of Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.

Guo Yang moved his eyes away from the computer and looked at Zhuang Zheng, who seemed to be seeking credit.

Zhuang Zheng smiled and said, "Boss, the volunteer tree planting activity is very successful. The number of people who have signed up has exceeded 100."

"Well, no matter how many people can come in the end, Shahai must do a good job of logistics." Guo Yang said perfunctorily, and then added: "Shahai must also pay attention to other public opinion trends."

Zhuang Zheng was stunned and showed a puzzled look. All walks of life in society praised Shahai, so how could there be any unfavorable factors?

Guo Yang waved his hand, "Come here."

Zhuang Zheng walked closer and saw an inspiring comment on the computer interface.

"The Haloxylon ammodendron trees in the sand sea are all planted in a standardized manner, mainly for inoculating Cistanche deserticola, with a profit of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per acre."

“What is Cistanche deserticola?”

"After eating Cistanche deserticola, one becomes energetic, no longer fatigued, and for a long time, the body becomes unusually strong, and the masculinity remains undiminished."

"The price of Cistanche deserticola has now exceeded 500 yuan per kilogram."

"Planting Haloxylon ammodendron to control sand dunes and inoculating Cistanche deserticola can bring both economic and social benefits. Farmers and animal husbandry in the sand sea will make a lot of money."

"500 yuan per catty. Even if one mu of land produces 500 catties, that's still more than yuan in income."

Guo Yang controlled the mouse to hover over rows of key words and interfaces. In addition to the comments, several articles with similar content appeared one after another.

Zhuang Zheng said, "Is this another hype about Cistanche deserticola?"

Cistanche deserticola was originally an unknown wild grass that was only eaten by local people.

In 1993, at the International Medical Association's annual meeting in Geneva, some experts reported that in a longevity village in Alxa, locals were accustomed to adding Cistanche deserticola to stewed mutton and drinking homemade Cistanche wine.

Later, Cistanche came into the public eye and was hyped because of its high value.

Its price has been rising rapidly, tempting people to dig it up frantically. In just a few years, wild Cistanche has become an endangered plant.

Artificial cultivation of Cistanche deserticola was born in this context.

But Guo Yang knew that the cultivation technology of Cistanche deserticola was not mature, and it was nonsense to expect a yield of 500 kilograms per mu and an income of over yuan per mu.

Guo Yang asked back: "Have you read the book on how to get rich?"

"Look, as long as I have time, I almost never miss a single issue."

"The sand sea can also provide more popular science content to prevent it from being exploited by people with ulterior motives."

At this time, Guo Yang heard the unique roar of a diesel truck coming from the small square. He stood up and saw that it was Lu Hanbin who came back, so he let Zhuang Zheng go on with his work first.

After Lu Hanbin went upstairs, Guo Yang said, "I will return to Jiuquan tomorrow. I have a few things to tell you."

"So urgent?"

Guo Yang nodded and closed the office door.

"When the senior leader came to inspect, I promised him that Qingtu Lake would be restored to a wetland within two years."

Lu Hanbin frowned.

Guo Yang said: "The leaders gave us some policies, and I made some preliminary contact with the Ministry of Agriculture.

In addition to a subsidy of 180 yuan per mu for desert control, it also involves a lot of infrastructure construction, including dredging and expansion of the Hongyashan Reservoir, upgrading and maintenance of the Jingdian Phase II water transfer channel, and ecological migration.

In addition, subsidy policies for solar greenhouses and cold chain logistics have also been released. The cost of a 55-meter-long greenhouse is calculated at 5 yuan, and the subsidy per mu is yuan.

In addition, the sand sea also needs to transfer the saline-alkali desert on the outer edge of the Qingtu Lake sand area.”

Lu Hanbin thought about it carefully for a while, "It doesn't seem cost-effective. The greenhouse subsidy must still be mainly for the public, and this price..."

Guo Yang said: "Greenhouse subsidies have little to do with the sand sea, but the seedling economy and water-saving environment it has driven are beneficial to the sand sea.

In addition, the big benefit is that several other subsidiaries of the group have also received it. Muhe, Fengkai, and Quanwang should all be able to obtain national-level policy support. "

Lu Hanbin's eyes widened instantly.

So I'm suffering in the front, and you guys are taking all the benefits, right?
"I go!"

"I have to go and ask them for compensation!"

"I don't care about that." Guo Yang smiled.

"Do you have any ideas for restoring the Qingtu Lake Wetland?"

"Three years ago, Professor Chen from the School of Water Resources and Engineering made a planning proposal that touched on this aspect, mainly to restore the groundwater level.

According to Professor Chen's idea, it will take 4 years to restore the groundwater level to 5-10 meters, and 2 years to restore it to 3-20 meters, during which time continuous water supply will be required every year.

In two years, we can only ensure that there will be water on the lake for a short period of time when the leader comes again."

Lu Hanbin had a bitter smile on his face. It was extremely difficult to restore the Weilu Lake which had been dry for decades.

Guo Yang patted Lu Hanbin on the shoulder and said, "It is definitely difficult, but no one can say for sure whether these difficulties today will help Jiahe take off in the future. Believe in yourself! Believe in Jiahe."

Lu Hanbin nodded silently.

Guo Yang said: "All the plant species around the lake area have been replaced with Hanhai kenaf and sea buckthorn. The dredging and expansion of the Hongyashan Reservoir will be completed as soon as possible in winter, and the water transfer volume will be increased to the maximum next year."

"Hanhai kenaf's ability to retain water and conserve water resources will definitely exceed your imagination."

Lu Hanbin still didn't believe it.

Guo Yang did not explain too much. The fact that he revealed some information showed that he trusted Lu Hanbin enough.

After thinking for a while, Guo Yang said, "Shahai farming and animal husbandry has received a good response from the society. It may attract a group of companies to invest in desert transformation. Shahai can pay attention to it, compete reasonably, and jointly expand the sand industry."

"There are also various cutting-edge technologies such as photovoltaic sand control and artificial rainfall..."

Guo Yang poured everything he could think of into Lu Hanbin.

The sand industry has great potential, but Jiahe’s focus is not on it for the time being.

After chatting with Lu Hanbin for an entire afternoon and drinking a little wine with his elder brother in the evening, Guo Yang set out for Jiuquan the next day.

...

In the car, Guo Yang was still thinking about the agreement he had made with his boss.

The agreement was proposed by the top leaders, and the "policy" also refers to the early support policy.

But Guo Yang deeply realized how valuable an agreement made by a leader is.

Fengkai Agricultural Machinery was approved to apply for a national enterprise technology center, with direct financial subsidies and a series of policy and tax support. Especially in terms of export, Fengkai has stood on the same starting line as Huaxia First Tractor and Foton Lovol.

Quanwang Biotechnology can also apply for a national enterprise technology center. At the same time, because its agricultural product processing has played a significant role in driving poverty alleviation in poor areas, it has been supported in terms of factory buildings, warehousing, machinery, logistics, etc.
Cold chain logistics, Tianhe Seed Industry, Hexi Dairy, Delong Animal Husbandry...

And the most critical escort.

The high-quality alfalfa exports of Alfalfa have suddenly seized one-fifth of the island country's market this year alone, which has aroused the vigilance of the United States. They will not engage in a price war with you, but will interfere with the island country at the national level, just by slightly modifying some customs regulations.

For example, if China is an epidemic area of ​​foot-and-mouth disease, the island country only needs to add a clause to its import regulations to prohibit the import of livestock products from the epidemic area.

This will completely block the export of high-quality alfalfa to island countries.

Fortunately, there is a big country behind Alfalfa, and the United States also needs to export agricultural products such as soybeans to China.

But this exchange is clearly not strong enough, as the country cannot get rid of soybean imports for the time being, while the alfalfa that the United States exports can be digested internally.

Therefore, accelerating the conversion of alfalfa into plant protein and reducing dependence on imported soybeans have become the focus of the country's agricultural work in the future.

There are not enough arable land resources, so saline-alkali land is used to make up for it. It is urgent to promote Alfalfa No. 1 to develop saline-alkali land.

The domestic forage market will also be opened simultaneously.

Land - seeds - forage - animal husbandry - dairy industry, Jiahe's industries are all complete and its risk resistance is maximized.

The only thing that made Guo Yang extremely angry was that the higher-ups suspected that Muhe had become the target of foreign espionage.

The purpose is naturally to steal the seed parents.

...

The car had been driving for an unknown amount of time before Guo Yang put away a document and looked out the window.

This is a road carved out in the Gobi Desert. On both sides of the road, yellow-green weeds grow sparsely on the sandy land full of rocks.

The vigorous and powerful autumn wind on the frontier depicts the vicissitudes of this deserted Gobi Desert.

When patches of bright red appear on the gray Gobi Desert, it suddenly seems that this desolate land is full of vitality!
It's chili!
Guo Yang recognized it immediately. During the harvest season, the Gobi Desert is a natural drying ground for peppers.

Looking at the red sky, Guo Yang, who had been sitting in the car for several hours, suddenly felt relieved.

"Luo Xiu, where are you?"

"Boss, we've arrived at Sandun Town, almost to the company."

"Huh, we're finally here." The long journey was really torturous, and Guo Yang was looking forward to his Haoke 850 more and more.

However, looking out the car window, Guo Yang seemed to be able to feel the joy of the women wearing hats and scarves busy drying peppers.

Because Tianjiao No. 1 had a good harvest this year, and in the stable market conditions of the entire pepper industry, the per-acre income from planting Tianjiao No. 1 generally exceeded 3000 yuan.

There are many villages and towns in Jiuquan that develop the chili pepper industry, and the main variety is naturally Tianjiao No. 1.

Some regions have even developed advantageous and characteristic industries, playing an important role in increasing farmers' income, enriching the industrial structure, and promoting quality and efficiency improvement of agriculture.

Tianjiao No. 1 pepper has a high yield, high content of red pigment and capsaicin, outstanding cost-effectiveness, and is very popular in the market.

Merchants who come to purchase peppers arrive early, and farmers can sell the peppers right in the fields, which is very convenient.

Tianhe Seed's pepper business has long since departed from the model of sales driven by demonstration bases, and its seeds already have a steadily growing customer base.

This has caused South Korea's Hannong Corporation, which also runs a pepper seed business in the northwest region, to complain bitterly.

It can only rely on its own varieties - self-built pepper bases - and sell dried peppers back to the country, and barely gain a certain market share in the northwest region.

At the same time, Tianhe also knows that it is still a long way to go if it wants to dominate the Northwest pepper seed industry by relying solely on the Tianjiao No. 1 variety.

Tianjiao No. 1 is suitable for both fresh consumption and processing, so its characteristics as a screw pepper prevent its processing potential from being fully utilized.

It was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon when Guo Yang and Luo Xiu arrived at the company. The company's air-conditioning was blowing cold air, and the environment was a little deserted, which seemed out of place with the harvest season.

But this is normal.

During this season, except for some posts, most people should stay in the rural bases.

Guo Yang originally wanted to go directly to the countryside, but the company still had some documents waiting for his signature, so he had to come back to deal with them first.

When he was still some distance away, Guo Yang saw Ning Xiaojing, wearing a floral dress, walking out of his office.

I couldn't help but tease, "Why? The boss is not here, so you have the time to dress up so beautifully."

When Ning Xiaojing saw him and Luo Xiu coming back, she was stunned at first. When she heard these words, she almost rolled her eyes, and then she opened the door again.

Guo Yang walked in with a smile, and was stunned when he saw the pile of documents on the table.

"You say, should I give up my power?"

Ning Xiaojing and Luo Xiu looked at each other.

Having said that, Guo Yang still walked over. But when he got closer, two golden corn cobs and a small pile of corn kernels caught his eye.

He walked over, picked it up and weighed it; it was quite heavy.

Ning Xiaojing said, "It's Tianyu No. 1. Mr. Qu asked me to put it on your desk. He said that there are guests coming. You can ask them to weigh it and see if it is heavier than other corn cobs!"

Guo Yang exclaimed, "What a great guy."

This Qu Yang is really full of clever ideas. All the marketing ideas have come to him. Why doesn't he make some to hang on the company's gate?
But this is just right, as Tianyu No. 1 is one of Tianhe’s representative varieties, and the huge golden corn cobs also look festive.

It also fits his identity as a breeder.

Next time when guests come, I will take out two corn cobs and weigh them before discussing business.

"Luo Xiu, you can also put two corn cobs in the car."

"Okay, then I'll pick two big ones when I go to the countryside."

Ning Xiaojing burst into laughter, her body shaking, and her low-cut dress revealed her plump bosom.

Guo Yang noticed that even Luo Xiu couldn't help but take a few more glances, which made him sigh that the gender ratio in a company should still be appropriate.

Men and women work together and the work is not tiring. The gender ratio of Jiahe is a common problem among agricultural companies, with a small proportion of women and even fewer beautiful women.

This may be one of the reasons why Jiahe employees have low desire to perform and are unwilling to speak.

Seeing Ning Xiaojing's appearance, Guo Yang was afraid that she would disturb his concentration at work, so he drove her out together with Luo Xiu.

Ning Xiaojing glared at Luo Xiu angrily.

Come back to your senses.

Guo Yang planned to process the materials first. The company was in the expansion period and he had the advantage of being a time traveler, so it was impossible for him to delegate power.

As for just providing ideas or development directions and letting the people below execute them, Guo Yang believes that Jiahe does not currently have such management capabilities.

Moreover, the business is relatively scattered, and through specific affairs and various documents and materials, Guo Yang can better grasp the underlying situation, and can make timely use of future information advantages.

For example, corn sales.

The sales model of Tianhe Seed Industry has gradually moved away from the three-level sales model of "province-county-township" and is now adopting the two-level sales model of "county-township".

Although the workload has increased, the end-user information can be collected directly, making it easier to track and provide services.

Currently, Tianhe has more than 600 exclusive agents at the county level and tens of thousands of township-level distributors.

The intuitive effects brought about by this model have already been demonstrated.

The user information collected by Tianhe in Northeast China has largely reflected the same problem.

Every year in late autumn, it is the time for farmers in Northeast China to deliver corn, but large grain growers often worry about this.

The trucks and farm vehicles rented by farmers to transport grain always form long queues in front of the grain depot, and it is not uncommon for some to queue for three days and three nights.

The physical fatigue is secondary. What is most painful is the extra truck rental and driver fees that need to be paid.

Farmers have to pay about 200 yuan for hiring a truck to sell grain, and they have to pay 30 yuan to the truck owner for a day of waiting outside the grain warehouse. In addition, they have to bear the driver's accommodation and meal expenses. Every day of delay means a considerable expense.

Northeast China has always been one of the main corn markets that Tianhe wants to take over.

But the situation has only just started to improve this spring, and the Northeast is the home market for Xianyu 335, which has been recognized by many farmers. It is not easy for Tianhe to expand rapidly.

However, the grain delivery issues collected by Tianhe from the terminals attracted the attention of the marketing department.

Guo Yang looked at the plan:
We negotiated to open up the channels of grain depots and set up a special "green channel" for corn seed farmers of Tianhe Seed Industry, so that they can avoid the trouble of queuing. The grain can be inspected and delivered as soon as it arrives, saving money and time.

After taking another look at the units and sales expenses that needed to be communicated, Guo Yang waved his hand and signed!
