Chapter 194 Observation Meeting

"Yes, drink and leave the work for tomorrow."

After working intensively all day, Guo Yang didn't want to continue talking about work at night unless it was necessary.

Speaking of drinking, Xie Shijie immediately became excited, "Boss, the hop plantation we promised you is still nowhere to be found. This beer is getting less and less exciting."

Guo Yang glared at him. He only remembered that he had mentioned it before at the corn seed production base in Yumen. He didn't expect that Xie Shijie still remembered it.

However, the beer we drink now may have changed manufacturers, and the taste is getting lighter and lighter.

Many people speculate that it has a lot to do with hops.

Hops is one of the important raw materials of beer. It plays the role of preservation and clarification of wort and can be said to be the soul of beer.

“When the transformation of Jiahe Gobi Desert is completed, we will build the hop plantation.”

"Doesn't that mean we have to wait for many more years?" Ning Xiaojing smiled. The floral dress she was wearing seemed a little thin, and her skin appeared cold white in the night.

"That depends on Shi Jie's ability." Guo Yang teased with a smile, and turned to Luo Xiu and said, "There are clothes in the car, bring them over to Secretary Ning to put on."

Ning Xiaojing pursed her lips but did not refuse. The temperature difference between day and night in Jiuquan was large, and it was outdoors, so it was indeed a bit chilly when the evening breeze blew.

Xie Shijie said: "The boss is always throwing smoke bombs. There is no follow-up to the seafood farming he mentioned before. The people in the northwest are still thinking about it."

"I think you're the one thinking about it, you fake Northwesterner."

Wei Guan also said: "We seldom eat this kind of food when we were young. We can't stand the smell of the sea. We may still prefer beef and mutton. I feel that the seafood market in northwestern cities may not be so good. At most, we can try it for a taste."

Xie Shijie said: "Having and not having are two different things."

"There is still a market, and the flavor of the seafood grown in the saline-alkali land should be acceptable."

Guo Yang also expressed his thoughts. As for Northwest seafood, he had only seen it while watching videos in his later life, but he had never actually tasted it.

However, against the backdrop of the island nation's discharge of nuclear wastewater, seafood from the northwest has also been highly praised.

There are even more jokes like "shipping is not free in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai".

The river is long and the autumn grass is yellow.

The mutton with fat and lean texture tasted particularly delicious. Several people chatted while drinking and eating meat.

Luo Xiu also gave one of Guo Yang's shirts to Ning Xiaojing, and Ning Xiaojing put it directly on her exposed shoulders.

After dinner, Luo Xiu drove them back to their residences one by one, and Guo Yang left Xie Shijie behind last.

When he was about to leave, Guo Yang got out of the car with him and whispered to him, "Secretly investigate the headhunting company and the people that Muhe has recruited through headhunters in the past two years."

After a pause, Guo Yang observed Xie Shijie's reaction, "There may be a spy, coming for the parent material of Alfalfa No. 1."

Xie Shijie's brows suddenly furrowed.

After working with Guo Yang for several years, he is no longer a rookie.

Commercial wars in the seed industry are more covert and silent. Sometimes the leakage of just a seed or a piece of rhizome can cause a company to suffer huge losses.

"Investigate everyone?"

Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Not yet. It's mainly for breeding R&D personnel and production technicians who have access to parent materials."

The impact of the leakage of ordinary second-generation species is not that great. Guo Yang mainly cares about the various original species.

Rested overnight.

Guo Yang appeared in the office again in high spirits and also called He Chunlai, the head of Jiahe's human resources department.

We emphasized to them that subsequent recruitment would require detailed background checks, especially for senior executives, but they could not entrust headhunters or third-party companies to conduct background checks.

Because according to Guo Yang's shallow understanding, headhunters and third-party companies are the hardest hit areas for spy infiltration.

After making some simple arrangements.

Guo Yang looked at the two huge golden corn cobs on the table and laughed. Alfalfa No. 1 is for defense against foreign countries, while Tianyu No. 1 is for defense against domestic countries.

For two consecutive days, Guo Yang cleared out all the accumulated affairs, and he became as clear-headed as the Qilian Snow Mountains.

The loan process went smoothly, and several major domestic banks were scrambling to do Jiahe's business.

With sufficient funds, major projects are also rushing to make progress.

Especially in the Asafoetida Gobi, the temperature can drop to minus 40 degrees Celsius in winter. Some more difficult Gobi deserts must be leveled first, and then the Gobi stones on top must be dug out and then covered with soil.

Fortunately, Donghe Agricultural Machinery had become a professional team at that time, and the entire land reclamation process was highly mechanized.

Compared with the land reclamation process of their predecessors, Jiahe's land reclamation method is quite friendly to people, except that it consumes more machines and fuel.

Fengkai Agricultural Machinery also dispatched a professional after-sales service team, providing support with various spare parts for repair and replacement.

Secondly, Hexi Dairy’s new product preparations and sports star endorsements have also yielded results one after another.

As soon as we get the qualification of Olympic sponsor, new product launches and marketing promotions will follow up significantly.

After completing each task one by one, Guo Yang calculated the time and found that he could just catch up with the corn harvest observation meeting mentioned by Wei Guan.

The observation meeting was held in Yumen.

Along the way, the scene of drying peppers in the Gobi Desert came into view again.

In addition to peppers, leeks and wolfberries are also Yumen's main agricultural industries.

The per capita arable land here reaches 3.64 acres, which is 1.95 acres higher than that in Zhangye.

Due to the large amount of land, agricultural production has been carried out in an extensive manner for a long time, and people have developed the habit of focusing on use rather than maintenance, and focusing on planting rather than management.

From time to time, we can see weeds spreading in some villages without effective control.

It was around 5pm when Guo Yang arrived at the observation meeting. The promotional poster on the booth on the open ground read the slogan "Tianhe Seed Industry, a prosperous China".

Below the stage, there are rows of simple plastic stools.

But the farmers who came to the conference gathered behind the booth, where there was a large field of corn.

The corn husks in the first few rows had been torn open, revealing the golden kernels.

In addition to the corn, Guo Yang felt that the most eye-catching things were the two large harvesters that were harvesting corn.

The corn harvester is light green all over, with no logos or words on the body, and it looks bright in the sun.

Guo Yang asked: "Is the new product online?"

Wei Guan, who came up to greet them, smiled and said, "Not yet. These are test pieces. There are only these two in the northwest for now. Boss Yu had them sent over, and he insisted that we try them."

Guo Yang said: "Aren't you afraid of some accidents?"

"Most of the people who came to the observation meeting were growers. They were concerned about the seed yield and variety resistance of Tianyu No. 1. Whether the agricultural machinery was good or not was not their focus." "How was the on-site effect?"

"Very good, there are no problems with resistance, and the growth of corn also makes farmers very satisfied. They are all experienced and can estimate the approximate yield at a glance.

The biggest selling point of Tianyu No. 1 is its excellent yield performance, so growers want to see how much it can yield per mu.”

Guo Yang followed them into the fields, joined the crowd, and listened to the farmers' discussions.

Thanks to Tianhe’s publicity, nearly two hundred corn farmers came from around Yumen.

This number is not small. In addition to seed corn, the area of ​​feed corn cultivation in Yumen is only more than 3 acres.

There are more than one hundred households, with an average transferred planting area of ​​more than 100 mu, which is about to mu, accounting for half of the total area.

In the field where two harvesters were harvesting, a group of large-scale growers gathered together and chatted.

"Fugui, you have a great harvest this year."

"Hey, Jianguo, aren't you also growing Tianyu No. 1? Can the yield this year reach 3000 kilograms?"

"I can't achieve it, but I feel you have a chance. Tianhe Seed Industry's observation meeting was chosen here. I see that your corn cobs are thick and long, and they are planted densely."

A smile appeared on Fugui's face, and he looked at the scene of the harvester harvesting with an expectant look in his eyes.

"3000 kilograms? Can the yield really be that high?" asked the farmer next to him.

"Yes, the current purchase price is 0.5 yuan per kilogram. If the yield is 3000 kilograms, one mu of land will cost 1500 yuan."

"The silage corn I planted this year has now reached the milky stage. I estimate that the silage harvest will only cost a few hundred yuan per mu."

“Then why grow silage corn?”

"There's nothing I can do. I want to plant two seasons."

Due to geographical and climatic reasons, Yumen’s agricultural planting conditions are subject to limitations such as a short frost-free period and poor heat.

The time is not long enough to plant two seasons, but it is more than enough to plant one season.

Farmers naturally understand this principle, especially those who planted Tianyu No. 1, who complained a lot.

"You want to save that little bit of lamination fee again!"

"After planting Tianyu No. 1, others have a dedicated after-sales technical service team."

Fugui, the farmer of this land, said: "Yes, Tianhe will provide supporting cultivation technology solutions. All corns are covered with film or sand for artificial climate compensation. There are also other technologies such as drip irrigation under the film, dry sowing and wet sowing."

“Will the cost be too high?”

"With this output, why worry about the cost?"

“The cost is about the same.”

Unconsciously, more and more people gathered around Fugui, and their questions were varied, but most of them were concerned about production.

"Just wait a little longer. I think these two big guys are collected quite quickly. I think they will be collected in a short while."

"Yeah, that's really fast!"

"The bracts are also chopped finely, so it's very smooth when weeding."

"There is another reason. Have you noticed? These two harvesters have large granaries and can hold a lot of grain. They don't need to stop as much during the journey, so they are naturally faster."

"The speed of unloading the grain just now was not slow, and the harvested corn was very clean. It saves time and effort. This machine is great!"

"It's true what you said. I will also look for this kind of harvester later."

"I don't know, these two are still test machines, and they haven't been officially put into production yet."

"What? The testing machine is so awesome. It's been so long and there's still no problem?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a machine several dozen meters away stopped.

"You are such a sharp-tongued person. Once you say it, it's ruined."

Ordinary people would only feel bored if they attended the observation meeting. Apart from a few corn cobs, they seemed to be unable to understand anything else.

All we can do is listen to the organizers bragging.

Tianhe is no exception, and always chooses the good ones to talk about.

Therefore, after a free visit for a while, the two unique corn harvesters became the most popular points of the whole venue.

This pause naturally attracted the attention of the whole audience.

Even Guo Yang was nervous for a moment.

Then I watched the driver slowly climb down from the cab, wearing a conspicuous light green Fengkai uniform.

Holding a long iron rod with a hook in his hand, he squatted on the ground and hooked it under the harvester.

"Shit, it turns out it's tangled in grass."

“What if it’s a pile of straw?”

"Not likely. It's been so long. If the straw could cause congestion on the harvesting platform, I don't know how many times it would have happened."

"Oh, it would be normal if it was wrapped in grass."

Several people nodded happily. This cornfield was good in every way except that there were too many weeds.

Fugui blushed and said, "I thought so. This big thing looks full of technology. It's not that easy to break."

“This is an imported machine!”

"That should be the case. Most domestically produced ones are backpack-type, and they are not this big!"

"I saw an imported corn combine harvester last year. I heard that the cheapest one cost more than 5 US dollars."

"The organizers are really rich."

Although the Tianhe staff member wearing yellow work clothes secretly complained that Fengkai Agricultural Machinery had overshadowed them, he was also proud of the machines developed by the sister unit.

“This is made in China!”

"domestic?"

The crowd exclaimed.

"Is it expensive?"
