Chapter 252 Fire

Zhangye.

Several panicked figures were running away, turning back to look at the figures pursuing them.

But he didn't notice the cornfield in front of him.

Wei Guan and his men rushed out from the side, first attacking them with steel pipes and sticks, and then knocked down several ditch diggers in the cornfield.

The wailing sounds never cease!
The man digging the ditch was already soaked in sweat, and his face was filled with expressions of fear and pain.

Wei Guan recognized one of the leaders. He was one of the middlemen who was found by the anti-counterfeiting team to have connections with the seed producers in the marginal areas and the outside world.

He recalled that a few days ago, his boss personally led a team to fight against counterfeiting, and the scene of fistfighting seemed to be vivid in his mind.

One punch!
Another punch...

The neatly dressed law enforcement team arrived late and looked at the scene in silence.

Tianhe’s anti-counterfeiting team is crazy.

The news network is even more powerful!

Not only do the dealers go from village to village, many of them are even local residents of the village, so any unusual movement will not escape their eyes.

Female team member Zhang Ling couldn't bear to watch this and shouted, "Stop it, or someone will die!"

Wei Guan suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, not wanting to cause trouble for the company, so he sneered.

"Not a single one escaped. We subdued them all. The rest is up to you."

The anti-counterfeiting team dispersed, and the law enforcement team looked at the scattered people, some of whom were covering their abdomens, and some were kneeling on the ground, their faces full of fear and despair.

The guy who was suspected to be the leader was in tattered clothes, his face was covered in blood, his eyes were bruised and swollen so much that he could hardly open them, and his nose was broken...

The air was filled with the smell of blood and sweat, which made people shudder.

Violence!

cruel!

After witnessing the tragic plight of the criminals, the law enforcement team had complicated expressions, as if they had done nothing and all the credit was theirs.

Wei Guan asked the anti-counterfeiting team to go first and said, "Call an ambulance."

Then he looked at a tall man in the law enforcement team and said, "Officer Gao, Tianhe has funds to fight counterfeiting. We will pay for the medical expenses."

"Let's have tea together some other day."

The sunlight shines through the clear blue sky onto the endless corn seed fields. Occasionally, farmers hiding in the fields remain motionless.

The golden corn cobs hanging on the stalks look like bunches of golden fruits.

Several figures walked along the ridges of the fields.

"A house in the county town, one million, his parents' social security, his younger brother Yang Xiaowu's education, and future work arrangements."

"This life is worth it!"

"The Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Public Security have continued to maintain high pressure this time, so it shouldn't be so tiring in the future."

"There are always a few who are not afraid of death."

"Then kill them!"

The efforts to combat counterfeiting in the seed industry are unprecedented, covering almost all commercialized grain and economic seeds.

Especially where Tianhe Seed Industry is involved.

People with guilty consciences are trembling!

The anti-counterfeiting team has experienced the trials in Zhangye, the hardships of the raid on Yili, and the difficulties in Tongliao.

In the past two years, they have traveled more than 100,000 kilometers across the country every year. Those who have been able to stay have violent genes in their bones.

In Zhangye,
in the northeast,
In Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, North China…

With the cooperation of Tianhe Anti-Counterfeiting Team, well-trained law enforcement teams quietly sneaked into various villages.

It was not until they broke into the house that the criminals fled in panic.

The criminal den was destroyed in one fell swoop.

...

at the same time,

On the Huaihai Plain, golden ears of corn sway in the breeze. This is a bumper year for the farmers and Tianhe Seed Industry.

One after another, the Gushen corn harvesters drove into the fields, and the roar was intertwined with the autumn wind.

As the machine's giant arms swung, rows of corn stalks fell down, and the golden corn ears were quickly peeled and collected.

The harvester moved very fast, leaving behind neatly arranged straw and a full harvest.

The farmers stood by the fields, watching the busy and orderly harvest scenes, with joyful smiles on their faces.

The farmer stood by the field and sighed, "Look at this machine. I'm so glad I bought it this year. With this output, if I had to do it manually, I would be exhausted after a day's work and my back would be broken."

"Haha, that's right, this is very efficient."

"The corn we harvested is full of grains, clean and neat, saving us both trouble and effort!"

"Orders from corn processing plants have also come in, and the price this year is also good, more than 6 cents."

"I feel the price can still go up, so I'll sell some first to prepare seeds, and wait and see for the rest."

...

Ministry of Agriculture.

The Forest Department and Director Nie of the State Grain Administration had a very pleasant conversation, and their tone was full of joy.

At this time, a phone call came in.

Lin Bu took a look and said, "It was Lao Zheng from Liao Province who called. He's probably here to complain again."

Director Nie smiled indifferently.

Minister Lin answered the call and turned on the speakerphone at the same time, and an anxious complaining voice came over.

"Minister Lin, isn't this too thorough? Many companies have lost their livelihoods and are wailing."

"Also, Tianhe Seeds was too ruthless. It was completely barbaric. Agricultural supply stores have no chance of survival."

"With reckless mergers and acquisitions, Tianhe is trying to monopolize the industry!"

Director Lin and Director Nie looked at each other, as if to say, “As expected.”

"It is imperative to crack down on counterfeiting infringements, and this reshuffle comes at the right time."

"Malicious suppression, closure, bankruptcy, running away...are you ignoring these barbaric methods?"

Lin Bu said: "It's just a temporary pain."

"It's no use looking for anyone."

Old Zheng was filled with grief and asked, "Why?"

“Because it’s worth it.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin looked at Director Nie and said with a smile, "Why do all these people come to me instead of you?"

Director Nie teased, "Guo Yang said that the Ministry of Agriculture is the parent of Jiahe, so you have to stand firm for him."

“Hahaha…” Minister Lin made no secret of the fact that he had to stand on this stage, and even higher-ups would stand on Tianhe’s side.

The two seemed to be here to discuss work, but in fact they also wanted to share their inner joy with each other.

This year's domestic corn production has exploded!

Tianyu No. 1 has been revered as a legend in various parts of the country, with high-yield records emerging one after another and farmers’ joy of harvest being seen everywhere.

The national grain and oil department urgently adjusted this year's corn production forecast.

In March, the domestic and U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated domestic corn production to be 3 million tons and 1.44 million tons, respectively.

Today, this figure has been urgently raised to 1.76 million tons, an increase of 3200 million tons year-on-year!

An increase of 22.22%!

Once this number is released, it is like a major earthquake. The feed industry, animal husbandry, corn energy processing industry...

Even the planning of the entire country has been affected.

In the past few years, in order to protect farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain, the country encouraged exports, and continuous exports led to a decline in inventory.

However, the domestic feed consumption is growing rapidly.
As energy becomes increasingly scarce, industrial consumption has also increased dramatically. Based on an output of 1.44 million tons, my country will have a gap of 300 million tons in the next year.

Corn prices rose across the board in 2006.

We had originally planned to switch from export to large-scale import, but now there are 2900 million tons more…

In the international situation,

Global feed demand has continued to grow rigidly for many years, which has greatly consumed corn production capacity.

In 2006, the global corn deep processing industry rose rapidly again.

The production capacity of corn starch, corn sugar, industrial ethanol, etc. is increasing rapidly.

This has indeed brought about a fundamental reversal in the supply and demand relationship of corn.

Based on this, foreign funds have continued to buy large amounts of corn, and corn prices have been rising since the beginning of the year.

The National Food and Grain Administration also judged that international corn prices will continue to rise sharply and the policies of the world's major corn exporting countries may change.

The nearly 30 million tons of increased corn production in China can earn 3 to 4 billion US dollars in foreign exchange if exported, and can ease energy pressure if used for processing.

No matter what, we will take the initiative.

The reason for the surge in yield is also easy to investigate. Farmers who planted Tianyu No. 1 saw a significant increase in income, with an increase of 500 to 800 kilograms per mu.

The Ministry of Agriculture asked for Tianhe’s seed sales data, which shows a planting area of ​​more than 5700 million mu.

The increase in income happened to come from Tianhe.

Tianhe Seed Industry’s strategic position in the entire country also skyrocketed immediately!
What would the scene be like if all the 4 million mu of corn planted across the country next year were Tianyu No. 1?

Although this violates the laws of ecology and geographical environment, half of it is okay!

It can not only meet the growing domestic demand, but also greatly increase the capacity of energy processing.

At the same time, it also brings breeding direction and excellent
Besides, the closure of small corn seed companies is not a sacrifice at all.

There are too many seed companies!
Not only has it failed to improve innovation, but a large number of counterfeit infringements have affected the innovative vitality of the seed industry.

Mergers should be the result of the development of the seed market. It is time for super-large seed companies to emerge in China to face international competition.

The current roar is just the resistance of the powerless.

As for monopoly,

It’s too early to say this now.
-
Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

On the bustling streets of the capital Kinshasa, an obese man stood under a street lamp, looking helpless and embarrassed.

The clothes that should have been on his body had disappeared, leaving only a naked body that looked particularly dazzling under the dim light.

Yu Honghai's face was filled with fear and despair, his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but he could only make a low sob.

There are so many countries in Africa, why did he have to come to the Democratic Republic of the Congo? Was it just because his boss gave an example?

Isn’t it said that the central part of Kinshasa is an upscale residential area? Why is it still so messy?

He stood naked on the street.

I do not know how long it has been,

Two figures with the same skin color appeared. When Yu Honghai saw the cold faces, he felt like he saw a savior.

"Hare!"

"cannon!"

Half an hour later, Yu Honghai angrily dialed the satellite phone.

"Hey, Guan Cheng, can Feng Kai build a tank? Bring it to Africa!"

"Well... I can, but the boss probably won't allow it. Africa doesn't have that kind of industrial base!"

Guan Cheng felt a little puzzled. Was he wronged?
"What happened?"

"Nothing, I'm hanging up now."

Yu Honghai hung up the phone in a hurry. If this matter were to be known by others, it would be a huge loss of face.

By this time he had understood why Kinshasa was in such a mess.

In July this year, the Democratic Republic of the Congo held its first multi-party election since its independence.

At this moment, troops loyal to Congolese leader Kabila the Younger dispatched armed forces to fight against the troops of the second in command, Bemba, and the situation in the capital was once serious.

Yu Honghai was thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Before coming here, although time was tight, I had already made up some knowledge.

China has established good friendships with most African countries.

The country also encourages large enterprises to come here to carry out resource development investment and development work.

In the agricultural sector, there are also many investors from China, among which China National Agricultural Development Group, China Water Resources Group and China Animal Husbandry Group play the main roles.

It is not without reason that the boss asked us to stick close to the China Agricultural Reclamation Corporation. China Agricultural Reclamation Corporation has agricultural cooperation projects in more than a dozen countries in Africa.

They bought hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and the area under cultivation is three to four million acres.

There are many losses.
However, there are also agricultural projects such as the Sino-Zambian Friendship Farm that have been profitable. China National Agricultural Development Group also has agricultural projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

However, the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is too chaotic, and no large global company has invested in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the world's main cobalt producing area.

Instead, they set up acquisition companies in neighboring countries to obtain this strategic resource from local mining companies.

The eastern border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is Africa's famous powder keg: the Great Lakes region.

It is surrounded by mountains, dense forests and numerous lakes.

Broadly speaking, the Great Lakes region is a geographical concept.

It refers to the surrounding and adjacent areas of Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Kivu in Africa, covering an area of ​​more than 700 million square kilometers.

Including the entire territory of Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda,

As well as Angola, Central African Republic, Congo (Brazzaville), Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan, Sudan, and parts of Zambia.

But sometimes,
The Great Lakes region specifically refers to the border areas of Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Due to years of war, the border area of ​​the Democratic Republic of the Congo has become a place of suffering in the world with concentrated conflicts, famines, plagues and refugees.
It is a microcosm of hell on earth and is known as the "powder keg of Africa".

The Great Lakes region has been plagued by frequent wars, including the Angolan Civil War, the Uganda-Tanzania War, the Central African Civil War, the Rwandan genocide, and the Congolese Civil War, which is known as the World War in Africa.

At the same time, the scale and intensity are breathtaking. The Rwandan genocide killed millions, and the death toll in the three civil wars in the Democratic Republic of the Congo reached 550 million.
The second civil war involved nine countries and dozens of anti-government armed forces.

Not only did they use modern weapons such as airplanes and cannons, but some armed groups also used bows and arrows and machetes. The barbarity and bloodiness were chilling.

The primary reason is the tribal hatred sown during the colonial period.

Britain, France, Portugal and Belgium divided and ruled the tribes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Angola and Rwanda, encouraging tribal conflicts and forming historical grievances that are now difficult to resolve.

Secondly, poverty and backwardness, competition for survival resources...

National governance issues...

The extensive involvement of Western powers in the conflict…

This is the region that international investment institutions fear the most, and many world-renowned companies have failed here.

As the rich mineral, oil, gas and forest resources also make international investment institutions salivate, despite the numerous crises, there is still a shortage of people flocking to the country.

Some countries do not have any copper, cobalt or manganese resources, but have become the world's leading exporter of minerals.

The situation is chaotic.

Yu Honghai felt a little regretful.

I heard that there are still two million people infected with AIDS here, and they don’t even have the courage to soak in black pearls.

After thinking for a while, Yu Honghai looked at the hare and the cannon. He received the order suddenly, so he was not very familiar with the situation of the two.

The hare has a skinny body and just standing there quietly, it gives people a sense of oppression.

The cannon is tall and strong with well-developed muscles, standing like an iron tower.

Yu Honghai asked: "What about the other two people? When will they arrive? I want to go to the suburbs, where there are farms built by the country."

The hare said, "They may be two days away. We can just take you to the farm."

"Would it be unsafe?"

"No, as long as we don't enter the battlefield, it's fine."

On a farm in the suburbs.

The China-Congo agricultural cooperation project began in 1973.

The project was implemented by Hubei Dadi Company.

Yu Honghai visited the entire farm accompanied by Tang Shaochun, a technical member of the expert group, and Xu Zhong, the head of Dadi Company.

The rice varieties Hubei No. 6 and Hubei No. 8 have an annual yield of 800 kilograms per mu in Congo, and the promotion area has reached 9 mu.

More than 20 varieties of vegetables can be produced throughout the year.

A pig farm with 100 pigs in stock,
Every year, we accept more than 600 interns from local universities, train farmers, cultivate 7500 acres of land for local farmers, and process grain...

Each piece of peaceful and harmonious experimental field was impacting Yu Honghai and the other two.

In this war-torn land, the farm here seems like a paradise.

Tang Shaochun said: "Congo (DRC) is the country with the greatest potential for agricultural development among all African countries!"

Yu Honghai looked at him in surprise. This seemed to be different from the boss's opinion!

After thinking for a while, he asked, "What is the land price here?"

Xu Zhong said: "If you buy it, one mu of land is equivalent to 35 yuan and can be used for 25 years."

This price is much lower than the domestic wasteland usage fee and rental.

Yu Honghai already had an idea.
come all come...
-
Nine springs.

laboratory.

After cultivating the seeds, Guo Yang still couldn't hide his gloom.

After Yang Dawu went there, he also participated in two anti-counterfeiting campaigns and created cruel scenes with his own hands, which seemed to unlock the hidden genes.

Make him cold-blooded.

But he cannot become a reckless man. There is no such soil in the country. What Jiahe needs more is a rational helmsman.

So he locked himself in the lab.

This resentment can be dissipated through repeated breeding and successful harvests.

food;

vegetable;

fruit
livestock and poultry;

A lot of seeds were cultivated, and there were also some unexpected surprises.

Natural energy is inexhaustible!
It is even getting more and more. Even if 2500 points are used up, there are still 2956 points left.

At the same time, the consumption requirement of 3000 points was also met, unlocking the entire line of red-level seeds.

It should be a happy thing.
But as soon as he walked out of the laboratory, the cool breeze made him feel as if he was back in that old house in the countryside, and the figure lying in the refrigerated truck emerged.

Guo Yang exhaled lightly, "It's all in the past, we need to look forward."

He gave the cultivated seeds and seedlings to Bi Qiang, and mixed them with the seeds that were crudely produced by Tianhe Science Academy during this period using various mutagenesis methods.

After a pretentious selection, they were transferred to various local breeding farms and seed production bases for expansion and propagation.

I haven’t really thought about the red-grade seeds yet, but the nearly twenty varieties I’ve cultivated now are enough to digest for a while.

I returned to the villa and had a good night's rest.

The next day.

Guo Yang adjusted his state and came to the company in high spirits. He had slacked off on a lot of his recent work.

Fortunately, Jiahe is no longer a makeshift team. At least the heads of each business segment are presentable.

Gao De and Chen Yun had no problem with the financial audit of Guoliang, and after leaving the company they joined Jiahe seamlessly.

Gao De works for Jiahe Grain and Oil, while Chen Yun works as the general assistant of the finance department of the group headquarters.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, I asked Lao Liu to make me a bowl of hot pot. The spicy taste made me sweat slightly on my forehead.

After dinner,
Guo Yangcai stepped into the office area.

"Boss, morning."

"Good morning, boss."

There was a constant stream of greetings, and during this period, everyone knew that the boss was not in a good state.

In the past, the boss's image as a gentle, positive, and dictator was deeply rooted in people's minds.

Recently, he has been staying in the laboratory for a long time and basically does not come to the company. He has no intention of handling work and has pushed everything to other people.

Walking into the office,
It was still spotless and tidy, and nothing seemed to have changed except that the corn cobs had been replaced with new ones.

Guo Yangcai sat down at the coffee table and turned on the kettle.

Ning Xiaojing walked in.

Guo Yang looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ning Xiaojing bit her red lips lightly. I haven’t been here for such a long time. Do I need to ask if there is anything wrong?
"I'll make you tea."

As she spoke, Ning Xiaojing stretched out a hand, took out a small bag of tea from the tea box, and put the tea bag into the glass teacup.

Guo Yang picked up the newspaper beside him and started reading.

The water was boiling at this time.

Soak for one minute.

Ning Xiaojing poured the tea into the tea cup, "Boss, have some tea."

He leaned over and handed over the tea cup.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself."

"Go and sort out the documents that need to be processed, and have them bring over the ones that need signatures."

...

For two or three days in a row,
Guo Yang is busy with work.

In addition to the smooth progress of major projects, there have been countless good news.

I saw the reply from Victor's family, who recommended his son John, and also had doubts about visiting China...

Guo Yang replied briefly that he would go to Germany again if he had the chance.

In addition, Tianhe Seed Industry's merger has made a breakthrough.

The strategic goal of killing a group, acquiring a group, and supporting a group will soon come into view.

This is thanks to this year's bumper harvest!
Whether it is spring-sown crops that have been harvested or summer-sown crops waiting to be harvested, most areas have enjoyed good weather this year, and stable and increased production is a common phenomenon.

This kind of weather further magnifies the advantages of Tianyu 1.

Except for the Huanghuaihai area which is still affected by rust, the other production areas have gradually developed planting models suitable for themselves, and the yield has increased significantly.

Prices and sales are also smooth.

Farmers who bought Tianyu No. 1 seeds will all enjoy this wave of benefits.

Fengkai’s Gushen corn harvester also became popular.

In 2005, my country's output of corn harvesters was less than 2000 units, and many manufacturers only produced a few or dozens of units a year.

The national stock is 6000 to 7000 units.
The mechanized harvest rate of corn is only 2% to 3%.

Since last year's autumn harvest season, the Gushen experimental machine has been active in major production areas to adapt planting patterns and debug performance, and it was favored by countless people at the time.

After being sown in the spring this year, it was put on sale and was warmly welcomed by a group of Tianhe users.

After the summer harvest, farmers who had money started to rush to buy, and farmers who had not sold their grain also took out loans to buy machines as they had expected income.

up to now,

More than 5000 Gushen corn harvesters have been sold, with an average price of about 9.5 yuan, and sales of a single product of nearly 5 million yuan.

Corn harvester is an emerging market and is still in the development stage. As soon as Gushen came out, it doubled the market share.

It’s really good.

In addition, corn prices will maintain an upward trend in the future, and coupled with the production dividend, a substantial increase in corn planting area is foreseeable.

The prices of supporting machinery will naturally rise as well.

In addition, a new batch of 2000 million kilograms of alfalfa seeds have been put on the market, and Hexi Dairy is also joining in to recover funds.

Jiahe is rich again now.

In addition to responding to the call to stockpile soybeans, various investment projects have also accelerated their construction pace, especially Jiahe Grain and Oil.

The acquired oil and fat factory has already started its journey of losing money.

The construction pace of soybean and corn deep processing plants under construction has also been accelerated.

Seed production base.

Guo Yang sat in the spacious SUV, looking through the window at a group of farmers busy moving among the corn fields.

He skillfully picked off each corn stalk with his hands.

Move quickly and agilely.

The ears are full and firm.

Tianhe will have sufficient supply of seeds next year.

At this time, Yang Cheng called and said, "Boss, Huinong.com is going to be online tomorrow. You can also pay attention to it in Jiuquan."

Guo Yang thought about it and decided that he needed to go to the Ministry of Agriculture as Yu Honghai’s trip to Africa was not going well.

Others don't know.

Luo Xiu, who had not returned yet, informed him that Yu Honghai had been robbed and stripped.

"I'll come to the capital in the afternoon."

Then he called Luo Xiu and asked him to wait in Beijing. His other two brothers had left the country from the north and should be arriving in Africa soon.
