Chapter 228 East Asian Seed Industry
Jiahe’s recruitment needs are huge and cover a wide range.

From seed and forage production and processing in the Northwest to breeding research and development in Northeast China, Hainan and other places.

and technical service and sales personnel who are in the greatest demand.

In addition, Hexi Dairy, Quanwang Biology, Fengkai Agricultural Machinery, Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Qinghe Agriculture...

Every subsidiary has staffing needs.

Jiahe’s special job fairs are also held all over the country, and are warmly welcomed almost everywhere they go.

On school forums and the Internet, Jiahe Group has become a frequently mentioned hot word.

Golden Harvest also appears in the media from time to time.

It can be said that throughout the spring job fair for fresh graduates, Jiahe’s influence in agricultural and forestry colleges began to soar.

The school was happy and students flocked to it, which naturally aroused the envy and jealousy of other companies, and even resentment.

An agricultural university in Jilin Province.

The job fair is being held in full swing on the track and field. Students are walking around, stopping occasionally to look at the company's recruitment posters.

Agricultural enterprises are as deserted as ever.

But Luo You from Huaxin Agriculture feels that this year is particularly quiet.

"Something's wrong. Why aren't there any students submitting resumes today?"

On both sides of the Huaxin Agriculture booth were the booths of Ping An Seed Industry and Kezhen Agriculture. Upon hearing this, they also followed suit to complain.

"Not only did no one leave a resume, but there were not even two people who came to inquire."

"One just came. I went up to him and chatted with him for a few words. He glanced at me, then turned around and left."

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be."

While a few people were chatting, two more students passed by the booth and looked at the posters curiously.

"Classmate, agricultural technician, food and accommodation provided, if you are interested, you can chat with me, or you can give me a resume."

"We are hiring seed salesmen. Not only do we have a basic salary, but we also have high commissions. If you do a good job, you can earn more than a thousand a month."

Both students shook their heads.

Luo You asked doubtfully: "Is there any problem?"

"The salary is too low." said one of the students with disgust.

"It's not too low, young people, don't aim too high, find a decent job first."

The people in charge of recruitment were all veterans in the workplace. After a few casual words, they showed an attitude that young people should endure hardships.

The two students scoffed.

“Is a salary of five or six hundred considered high?”

"For the same seed sales, the starting salary at Tianhe Seeds is 1200 yuan a month. Isn't that stupid?"

After saying that, he left the booth without looking back.

"They only make a few hundred yuan a month, with only one day off a day, and they clearly say you have to be hardworking and down-to-earth."

“Isn’t this clearly a sweatshop?”

"Tianhe Seed Industry is still the best."

“I don’t know if my resume will be accepted or if I can make it to the next round of interviews.”

At the Huaxin Agriculture booth.

Luo You looked around at the seed companies on both sides and asked, "Where does Tianhe Seed come from? 1200 yuan a month?"

The people from Ping An Seed Industry and Ke Zheng Seed Industry looked at each other and felt a slight sense of oppression.

And some anger.

The seed market has suffered a setback, the seed production base market has also been thrown into chaos, and now it is also suffering a setback in the recruitment market, right?

"Tianhe Seed Industry has gone too far."

"Don't worry, I heard from my boss that they have already communicated with the Agricultural Bureau. The current corn seed market is too suffocating."

Ping An Seed and Ke Zheng Seed are just microcosms; Jiahe’s move has broken the balance of the market.

In the past, only foreign-funded enterprises would offer high salaries, five insurances and one fund, two days off a week, and overtime pay.

But there are too many monks and too little meat.
There is still a lot of cheap labor on the market.

Now that Jiahe has come out to disrupt the situation, a large number of "high-paying" jobs have almost swept away all the best talents.

The key point is that it has also caused graduates to resist companies and increased negative comments.

With a series of competitive means coming, major seed industries are feeling the pressure.

At the same time, we are also thinking about countermeasures.

……

In the early days of reform and opening up, Liaoning Province provided vegetable seed breeding and production for the American Pito Company.

Pito is the predecessor of Seminis Seeds, which was acquired by Monsanto.

After more than ten years of exploration, Liaoning Province has become the world's major Solanaceae hybrid seed production base.

In 1992, Liaodong Asia Seed Group, which was derived from Liaodong Seed Company, came into being. It started out by breeding various hybrid vegetable seeds for foreign countries.

In 2001, it joined the American Seed Trade Association and the International Seed Trade Federation (ISF).

East Asia Seed is also currently ranked among the top ten seed groups in China and is one of the most influential provincial seed companies in China's seed industry.

Zhu Hong is from Zhujia Village, Zhujia Town, Fengtian City. He is the second generation of farmers who grew up there. His slightly dark skin and the simple cotton-padded jacket he wears make this chief breeder of East Asia Seed Industry look very down-to-earth.

Zhu Hong was originally from the Liaoning Provincial Seed Management Bureau. A few years ago, after receiving an invitation from Xu Fuchun, the founder of East Asia Seed Industry, he decided to go into business.

Around 2000, East Asia Seed Industry launched Dongdan 90 corn seeds, a sparsely planted and large-eared corn variety.

2500 plants can be planted per acre of land, and one ear of ear can produce one kilogram of wet grain.

After the launch of Dongdan 90, it was favored by farmers and once occupied 30% of the market share in Liaoning Province.

It wasn't until last year that the market reached a turning point.

This year, Dongdan 90 seems to have been relegated to the cold palace.

Zhu Hong, chief breeder of East Asia Seed Industry, and Xu Fuchun, founder, came to the Liaoning Provincial Seed Administration Bureau together and entered an office.

"Director Li, sorry to bother you."

Director Li Juan politely welcomed the two people in. If Guo Yang were here, he would be able to recognize that this was the oppressive middle-aged woman at the Seed Industry Summit.

Director of the Liaoning Provincial Seed Administration Bureau and also vice president of the China Corn Seed Association.

East Asia Seed Industry and Liaoning Province Seed Administration Bureau used to be the same organization, which was the so-called "two institutions, one team" seed management system from 1978 to 1995.

Therefore, the three of them are very familiar with each other.

However, Zhu Hong has never returned since he left the Seed Administration and has been busy with corn breeding.

"It's rare for President Zhu and President Xu to come together. Is there something important?"

Xu Fuchun said: "This time I came to ask Director Li for help. The competition in the seed market is stifling this year, and many local seed companies are facing a slowdown in the sale of corn seeds.

If we don’t take action now, the corn seed market in the province will be completely occupied by foreign seed companies.”

Li Juan showed a suspicious look. When did East Asia Seed Industry become so concerned about the safety of small seed companies?

It’s hard for you to protect yourself!
"Because of Tianyu No. 1?"

Xu Fuchun was not embarrassed.

"Yes, Xianyu 335 and Zhengdan 958 are also maliciously competing with each other by lowering prices. I hope the province can help local seed companies."

"It can be regarded as a benefit to the local people."

Li Juan smiled softly in her heart, as she was working for the benefit of the local people. She knew exactly what was going on. It was nothing more than someone beating him up, and then he thought about looking for his parents.

When the son is bullied, the mother naturally has to step in, but she doesn't have to do it herself, her henchmen and referees are enough.

Moreover, the accounts settled at the Seed Industry Summit have not yet been settled.

The last corn seed industry summit was held in Fengtian, and it was hosted by Li Juan, who was her home court.

However, Guo Yang, the boss of Tianhe Seeds, frequently mentioned the crackdown on counterfeit seeds at the summit, directly pointing to the variety approval system.

A national review product costs four to five million yuan, and a provincial review product costs two to three million yuan. Whose pockets do all this money go into?

Are you still dreaming of pushing for amendments to the Seed Law?

Thought it was just kids playing house?

Li Juan looked at the two with a smile, "Does East Asia Seed have any ideas?"

"There are two solutions: emergency and long-term."

"Tell me."

"The emergency solution is to limit the price of Tianyu No. 1, Xianyu 335 and Zhengdan 958 in the name of disrupting the market, and prohibit them from malicious dumping."

Li Juan frowned. What kind of method is this? "The prices of Tianyu and Xianyu are already high, and they are going to raise the price?"

"Correct."

"What about the long term?"

Xu Fuchun looked at Zhu Qing, who had been silent since entering the room, and said, "Old Zhu, tell me something."

Zhu Qing said: "In recent years, there have been many extreme weather conditions, and the shortcomings of sparsely planted large-ear varieties have been exposed all of a sudden."

"It happened that Tianyu No. 1 entered the Liaoning Province market two years ago. It carries the concept of 'single seed precision sowing, high density tolerance and high yield'. It pays more attention to the average planting amount per mu, breaking the planting pattern of sparse planting and large ears dominating the world."

“It would be very embarrassing if we only had one product, Dongdan 90.”

Having said this, Zhu Qing paused, an embarrassed look on his face. Xu Fuchun naturally knew what his old friend was thinking.

As breeders, we all have a passion for scientific research.

Xu Fuchun patted Zhu Qing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Zhu Qing prepared for a rainy day. He has been doing resource collection, identification, variety and variety breeding work over the years, and has accumulated a solid product base."

"The company determined the research and development directions of density tolerance, lodging resistance, disease resistance, and single-seed precision sowing last year, and quickly mobilized resources to focus on tackling these problems."

"This year, Dongdan 1311 stands out."

"In order to put it on the market as soon as possible and preserve the dignity of local seed companies, I hope Director Li can push forward the variety approval of Dongdan 1311 as soon as possible."

"We all know the rules."

Li Juan raised her eyebrows. "You have already achieved results in one year?"

Xu Fuchun said: "Thanks to Zhu Qing's efforts, he is worthy of being from the Seed Management Bureau. The bureau is really full of talented people!"

Zhu Qing looked at the calm and composed Xu Fuchun and smiled awkwardly.

One year?
Isn't this pure nonsense?

It's something that anyone with eyes can see.

That’s right, Dongdan 1311 is an imitation of Tianyu No. 1. Its quality may be only % to % of Tianyu, but it is also a rare good variety on the market.

There are some differences from the deck seed. The deck is just a different skin of Tianyu's parent.

The imitation is different. Some features have been optimized, but more have been weakened. It is equivalent to a castrated version of Tianyu No. 1.

But as long as it can pass the variety evaluation, it is definitely a regular seed.

Li Juan pretended to drink a sip of water and quietly calculated how many meters she could divide this time.

"The shortest time for variety approval is two years. Any shorter and there will be problems."

"I understand. It is reasonable to develop a new variety in three years. I think other seed companies also plan in this way."

"Well, leave this to me."

After a moment's silence, Li Juan said, "Price limits may not work in the short term. We can only try. I have another idea."

What is this old woman up to?

After dealing with Li Juan for so many years, Xu Fuchun has already figured out Li Juan. Although she is decisive in her work, she is also greedy.

"What method?"

Li Juan said: "Good seed subsidies."

"The amount of subsidies is set by the state, but the specific implementation is carried out by the counties, cities and districts. In order to support the development of local seed companies, subsidies for improved varieties can be tilted towards local areas."

"The state will significantly increase the amount of subsidies for improved varieties next year."

Xu Fuchun was surprised. It was true that when a woman becomes ruthless, men have no chance of survival.

The market value of my country's field crop seed industry is about 100 to billion yuan, and the country has provided billion yuan in fiscal subsidies each year in recent years.

If the Agriculture Bureau gives priority to local seed companies, the subsidy amount will be quite high, close to 50% of the market price of seeds.

The sales of Tianyu No. 1 are coming to an end.

Xia Bo’s competitors are Xianyu 335 and Zhengdan 958. Zhengdan 958, which has been constantly reducing its price, has also made many seed companies suffer.

With the subsidy for high-quality varieties being narrowed at this time, will Zhengdan 958 still dare to lower its price?

Then have a limited price sale.

Hehe, Xu Fuchun breathed a sigh of relief, "Director Li is still thinking about his fellow countrymen."

Li Juan smiled and said nothing, just looking at him.

"Follow the rules."

Xu Fuchun understood immediately: "We will take care of everything."

……

Nine springs.

Guo Yang had not been screening and digging for genes with excellent traits in the seed store for long when he was awakened by a knock on the door.

The mind is immersed in the seed store, while the body is in a dozing state in the outside world.

Also very sensitive to the outside world.

Ning Xiaojing walked in and saw her boss stretching. She wondered what he was doing at night as he hadn't worked overtime much in the past two days.

"Boss, spring recruitment is going smoothly everywhere, and the recruitment sessions are very popular."

"Last year, we had 108 interns from the autumn recruitment, and this time the number has more than doubled."

“I posted some photos of the scene in the work group.”

Guo Yang nodded calmly, "It's as expected. After all the trouble, Jiahe still can't win the hearts of college students. It's a failure."

"What else?"

Guo Yang saw the document in her hand.

Ning Xiaojing placed the document on his desk, her face still flushed with excitement, and said, "The first quarter sales reports of each subsidiary are out."

"Oh?"

Guo Yang became interested.

Ning Xiaojing said: "The revenue in the first quarter was encouraging, except that the payment for Alfalfa No. 1 seeds was a little slow."

Guo Yang took a look at Muhe’s payment situation.

I can only say that banks are still like this.
