Chapter 273 Good News
Shortly after.

Wu Feng brought Yang Heng to an extremely hardened field. Looking around, they saw layers of salt crystals overflowing from the surface.

The planned area of ​​the brilliant base is about 5 mu. Wu Feng said with emotion: "This is really difficult!"

"Glorious's base in Yumen is also a wasteland. This level of difficulty is not difficult for Mr. Wu to handle."

“But the land is expensive.”

Yang Heng didn't say anything else. The wastelands in the northwest were indeed cheap and sparsely populated, but they lacked water and were remote, which led to policies being more biased towards coastal saline-alkali land.

The only advantage of the Northwest is the high quality of the forage grass it produces.

At an intersection, Yang Heng met the people he had made an appointment with, including people from the business department of the Agricultural Bureau and local township officials.

As soon as they came up to me, they asked about my health and welcomed me warmly.

Yang Heng also came here last year.

The attitude back then was not as enthusiastic as it is today. These are the achievements made by Jiahe in the past year.

The cultivated land area increased significantly and the grain production increase target was exceeded.

Local enthusiasm for work is also at a high point.

Finally, all the brilliant project materials were completed smoothly, and the data and details were confirmed quickly.

Wu Feng watched the whole process from the side and felt the gap between Huihuang and Muhe, especially in terms of technical services.

Alfalfa has already formed a generation gap with Huihuang in terms of seeds, plant protection, harvesting, storage, processing, and even policy and government relations.

There is no hope of catching up with the glory.

At this time, several people had almost finished discussing it. A deputy section chief of the Agricultural Bureau, whose name seemed to be Zou Yang, was quite young, but a little bald.

"Xiao Yang, this year there are subsidies for forage seeders, grass seed harvesters, forage dryers, and balers. You can talk about this at the company."

Yang Heng smiled and said, "I understand. Do cities and counties also have cumulative subsidies?"

"Of course there are, and quite a lot. The central and local governments together probably account for 50%. I'll send you a document later," said Zou Yang.

Wu Feng was a little uneasy.

“Is the subsidy so high?”

"Yes, this year forage machinery has been included as one of the key agricultural mechanization technologies. We have intensified the promotion efforts and also added many subsidized models."

Forage machinery is mainly divided into seed harvesting and processing, grassland protection and construction, forage harvesting and processing, etc.

Long Province only provides subsidies for forage harvesters, nothing else.

Wu Feng thought for a moment and asked, "How many types of forage machinery can Fengkai Agricultural Machinery produce now?"

Yang Heng smiled and said: "Fengkai's forage machinery now has 12 varieties and 25 models."

Wu Feng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Can the processing equipment be sold to the outside world?"

The level of forage mechanization in China is still very low, with low technical content, few varieties, poor performance, and difficult to buy accessories...

When something goes wrong, no one can be found.

The key is that it’s damn expensive!
The situation with processing equipment is even worse. In the past, it relied on imports, and processing companies had to make high one-time investments. If the processing capacity was more than 5 tons, an investment of tens of millions of yuan would be required.

Processing equipment alone accounts for 80% of the investment, resulting in few domestic processing companies and even fewer large-scale ones.

Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is the leader in forage processing, and has left others far behind, thanks to its world-class processing equipment.

Wu Feng looked at Yang Heng expectantly. If it really didn't work, he would have to talk to Boss Guo tomorrow.

Fortunately, Yang Heng gave a positive answer.

"Yes, they are all large and medium-sized complete sets of equipment. The price is a bit expensive, more than 50 yuan."

“As long as you are willing to sell it.”

Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry's processing capacity has been verified by the international alfalfa trade market. Even the foreigners are full of praise for it, so what else is there to say?

Just buy it.

Zou Yang at the side also asked: "Does Fengkai have any small-scale equipment? There are also many small-scale farmers here."

"Yes, the arable land on the Loess Plateau is fragmented, so Fengkai has developed small-scale agricultural machinery for plowing, sowing, and harvesting dry fields in mountainous areas."

Yang Heng recalled the data in his mind.

His position may not seem high at the group headquarters, he is just a specialist, but he is responsible for coordinating all the projects and policies of the subsidiaries.

You don't have to do it yourself, but you must have a comprehensive understanding of the group's business.

Yang Heng said: "Fengkai has been developing forage machinery for several years. Although the number of models is less than half of John Deere, it still ranks first in China."

Wu Feng said: "Apart from anything else, Fengkai's forage harvesting machinery is really good, and the feed conversion rate can be increased by at least 15 percentage points."

"Then Mr. Wu, you guys better apply for the subsidy while it's still available. If it's too late, the money may be gone." Yang Heng said with a smile.

Agricultural machinery subsidies are not unlimited.

Generally, the principle of first come, first served is followed. This year's policy conditions are so good that it will definitely cause farmers to rush to buy.

After chatting for a while, the two of them set off on their journey home and rushed to the capital overnight.

After arriving, Wu Feng did not take time to rest. He stayed up until the early morning to compile a list of forage machinery that needed to be purchased.

Seeders, grass turners, large balers, processing equipment, all together they require nearly a hundred machines and an investment of nearly 20 million yuan.

the next day.

Even after staying up all night, Wu Feng would get up early, feeling refreshed and full of energy.

Yang Heng also felt the boss's spirit.

In the domestic forage industry, Wu Feng is an outstanding professional manager and is the one who started out from the planting end.

There is no such person in Muhe at present.

After a quick breakfast, the two rushed to the airport and marveled at the Hawker 850.

"It has a streamlined and elegant appearance and a modern design. This is my first time flying a private jet."

Yang Heng said: "Me too."

While the two were still discussing each other, Guo Yang appeared at the cabin door.

"What are you still standing there for? Come up!"

"Good."

"Let's have some fun with Boss Guo today."

Wu Feng entered the cabin and felt it was quite spacious. The high-grade leather seats were soft and comfortable, and the exquisite wood and metal decorations complemented each other beautifully.

Every detail reveals the fusion of luxury and quality.

But Boss Guo is still as easy-going as ever.

After sitting down, Wu Feng took out the order that he had prepared last night from his bag.

"Boss Guo, Huihuang wants to purchase a batch of agricultural machinery."

After Guo Yang took it, he glanced at it briefly and said in surprise: "Is Huihuang going to spend a lot of money?"

You don’t have to equip yourself with machinery to grow forage grass. You can hand it over to a professional agricultural machinery cooperative. The initial investment cost of equipping yourself with machinery is too high.

"In the past two years, Huihuang has made a lot of money by following Alfalfa. This year, the export of oat straw alone brought Huihuang 200 million yuan in revenue."

Wu Feng smiled as he talked about the achievements of Huihuang Seed Industry, "We have also exported a lot of our forage grass seeds abroad in the past two years."

"After the melamine incident, the domestic forage industry situation reversed, and the group headquarters wanted to increase investment."

Export of forage seeds?

This was somewhat beyond Guo Yang's expectations.

“What seeds are exported?”

"99% of the seeds exported from China are alfalfa seeds." Wu Feng smiled awkwardly, "and the imported seeds are mainly ryegrass, fescue, bluegrass and other seeds."

"The import and export trade of seeds is quite complementary." Guo Yang said, "I'll pass on the matter of agricultural machinery later."

At this time, the plane also began to take off. Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the fuselage shook slightly, and then gradually accelerated, bringing a strong sense of pushing back.

Yang Heng watched the ground outside the window gradually disappear into the distance, as if he had broken free from the pull of gravity and was exploring the unknown sky.

Wu Feng was in high spirits and talked to his boss.

It seems like he has unlimited energy.

He recalled that they were at the DY City Government yesterday morning, arrived at the county at noon, went to the village where the saline-alkali land was located in the afternoon, and rushed back to the capital in the evening.

Mr. Wu stayed up late last night, but he acted like nothing happened this morning.

No wonder others can be at the top of the industry.

But many people cannot match this professionalism.

I heard that the boss originally wanted Mr. Wu to take charge of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. The two really have a lot of similarities.

“The path of animal husbandry mechanization in developed countries started with the development of grassland improvement, artificial pasture construction, and forage storage and processing.

With the increase in livestock product output, the mechanization of animal husbandry is gradually promoted.

From no-till sowing, stubble removal, fertilization, water-saving irrigation to forage harvesting, processing and storage, all operations are mechanized.

The final grass yield is 3 to 5 times higher than that of natural grasslands.”

Guo Yang slowed down and drank a sip of the tea poured by Luo Xiu, while Wu Feng and Yang Heng listened quietly to his long speech.

Guo Yang continued, "Falcon Agriculture, a subsidiary of Jiahe, has 60 mu of degraded grassland in the Urat Grassland and will also take this path."

"In the future, it will also be one of the important natural grasslands for Hexi Dairy." Wu Feng thought for a while before saying, "It is also thanks to Alfalfa that has led to the development of the domestic grass industry in the past two years."

"Otherwise, after the melamine incident, China will probably have to import a large amount of forage grass from the United States."

In fact, in the past month or two, the country has indeed been importing hay bales from the United States.

But this is temporary.

Because the first and second echelons of the domestic grass industry have already accumulated sufficient capital.

It is still easy to expand production capacity.

Guo Yang smiled and said, "It's only a matter of time before we have a conflict with America. Maybe one day we can even reach America's lair."

Wu Feng laughed twice.

"The United States is rich in land resources. It is very difficult to export grass to them, but it is possible to export seeds."

Wu Feng glanced at Boss Guo and asked, "Does Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry have any plans to export seeds?"

"Yes, but we don't have the right seeds yet. Alfalfa No. 1 cannot be exported directly."

"Just improve it."

In fact, Guo Yang really wanted to export forage grass and forage grass seeds to the United States.

In recent years, the United States has been jumping up and down in the international arena, and recently it has significantly increased tariffs, forcing the renminbi to appreciate...

This has had a significant impact on Golden Harvest's overseas business.

Moreover, the Americans have tried many times to control the domestic food industry, so why can't Jiahe take the initiative to fight back?

Thinking of the several thousand points of natural energy left, Guo Yang once again thought about launching a biological invasion.

first step,
Destroy America’s alfalfa industry?
During the four or five-hour journey, we hardly had any rest and were always discussing the development trends of domestic grassland, animal husbandry, agriculture and other industries.

Everyone gained a lot.
-
Before arriving at the company, Guo Yang received the news that Shanlu Group had gone bankrupt.

This large enterprise group, which has a history of half a century and is the "leader" of domestic milk powder, has ranked first in the country in terms of milk powder production and sales for more than 10 consecutive years and has a domestic market share of 18%, has come to an end at this moment.

This sounded the alarm for the entire industry and also ushered Jiahe into another period of rapid development.

After rushing to the company in the snow and wind, Guo Yang noticed that the greening of the park had undergone many changes.

The colorful colors set off the icy and snowy world.

Without even taking a second look, Guo Yang hurried towards the office.

The office area is filled with a busy atmosphere.

Guo Yang came to Ning Xiaojing's desk and said, "Bring over the documents from this period."

"Okay, come right away."

Ning Xiaojing was also not vague. The group's performance during this period was simply explosive, and all kinds of data were sky-high.

Under such circumstances, everyone is very excited and looking forward to this year's year-end dividends.

I haven't been back for almost a month, and I have a lot of things to do.

Guo Yang had just taken a breath when Xie Shijie, wearing a black suit, walked in.

"Boss, you're finally back."

"Why, you can't do it without me?"

Xie Shijie paused and said with a smile: "The company can do without anyone, but it really can't do without you as the helmsman."

Guo Yang stood up and boiled a pot of water. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"The planning scheme of the group headquarters has come out, and we are waiting for you to come back to review it, so that we can bid and start construction."

Guo Yang frowned slightly, "Then it may have to be postponed. This time I went to Weiguang to see the rooftop farm and got a new idea. I need to make some changes."

Immediately afterwards, Guo Yang told Xie Shijie about the rooftop farm and the plant factory.

"Ah, this... that might need a big change."

"What is the current design? It won't be a high-rise building, right?" Guo Yang asked.

"It really is."

"Then let the design team make changes." Guo Yang then asked, "Has the construction team made any plans?"

Xie Shijie said: "How about Dadi Group?"

Guo Yang felt that it sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, he said in surprise: "The parent company of Huihuang Seed Industry? Can engineering construction work?"

"Yes." Xie Shijie nodded. "Although the company in Rongcheng is not well-known and relatively low-key, it still has strength."

"Moreover, if the company wants to build a residential area for its employees, it may also be able to set up a real estate development company in a joint venture with Dadi Group to specialize in internal projects."

Guo Yang thought about it and it seemed to work.

He recognized Wu Feng, and when Huihuang Seed Industry was in the most difficult time, Wu Feng decisively rejected Guo Yang's high-paying invitation.

This proves to a large extent that Dadi Group still has a certain business reputation.

"Well...rooftop farms have very high requirements for safety and protection. If Dadi Group can solve the construction problem, I agree."

"Okay, let's do a detailed evaluation later." Xie Shijie slowed down and said with a smile: "Boss, do you know how popular Alfalfa No. 1 seeds are these days?"

Guo Yang said calmly: "How popular can it be? This account can be calculated. Fifty million kilograms of seeds can be sold for a maximum of 250 billion yuan."

Xie Shijie was choked.

Before the melamine incident, the shipment speed of Alfalfa No. 1 seeds was much faster than last year, and farmers' enthusiasm for saline-alkali land remained unabated.

After the accident, Hexi Dairy became popular, and it was repeatedly interpreted that its high-quality forage supply was the key to high quality.

The alfalfa industry became popular.

As the best alfalfa seed in China and even in the world, Alfalfa No. 1 has also become the darling of the industry.

Banknotes came like snowflakes.

The whole company was shrouded in an atmosphere of joy, except for the boss who was too calm.

Is the boss afraid of dividends?
This shouldn’t be the case. The boss shouldn’t be that kind of person!

Guo Yang waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to do, go ahead and do your work. By the way, leave the report behind."

"Oh." Xie Shijie walked out the door disappointedly, and the boss's voice came from behind him again.

"By the way, close the door. It's too cold."

"boom…"

After hearing the sound of a door closing, Guo Yang began to look through Muhe's data impatiently.

Calm?

That's just a disguise he puts on himself.

As for the fact that all the seeds will only cost 250 billion?
That is a reassurance for myself, allowing me to maintain my composure.

In fact, he cares about Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry more than anyone else, as it is the foundation of Jiahe’s business!

Guo Yang saw the summarized black data at a glance.

In October, about 10 million kilograms of Alfalfa No. 310 seeds were sold, with sales of 1 billion yuan and revenue of about 15.5 million yuan;
In November, 11 million kilograms of seeds were sold, with sales of 460 billion yuan and revenue of about 23 million yuan;
In December, 12 million kilograms of seeds were sold, with sales of 720 billion yuan and revenue of about 36 billion yuan...

Sales figures are jumping up every month, and the last of the hay and crops are still being harvested in October.

Prices started to surge after farmers received their money in November, and the melamine outbreak occurred around New Year's Day.

The data shows that in January, there is only a rough estimate of the average daily seed sales.

Nearly 30 kilograms per day, with an average daily sales of 1.5 million yuan... Now Muhe has more than 30 billion yuan in cash in its account.

Guo Yang couldn't help but tremble all over for a moment, and only after drinking a sip of tea did he calm down. The money came in too fast!
It gives people an unreal feeling.

Guo Yang watched patiently.

Guo Yang will not let go of any order or even any saline-alkali land improvement project.

Zhinong Cooperative has contracted another 4000 mu of saline-alkali land and 1 kilograms of seeds, and one-third of the payment, more than 160 million yuan, has been received;

500 acres, 1250 kilograms of seeds, 20.8 yuan received;
Huihuang Seed Industry, 50000 mu, 12.5 kilograms of seeds, total payment of 6250 million yuan, Huihuang has paid 2083 million yuan...

Guo Yang was a little surprised.

Huihuang really invested a lot of money this time, including soil preparation projects, seeds, agricultural machinery, planting management, factories... None of this can be done without an investment of several hundred million yuan.

Gao Xiaoxia was the first farmer to contract saline-alkali land. This time she has contracted another 2,000 acres of land. She must have made money in the past two years.

Browsing through the projects one by one is like counting money, and it doesn’t feel boring at all.

On the contrary, I can feel a lot of fun from it, as if I am reclaiming the land together with those people.

Quietly enjoying this joy alone in the office.

……

Beijing.

The Soil and Water Conservation Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, which has been busy for more than ten days, and the National Grain Administration have also been working overtime to compile the data.

When the final results were reported to the leaders, many people secretly punched the air.

This wave of political achievements is stable.

Within two days, a report of the good news appeared in advance on the official websites and media such as the State Council, Xinhua News Agency, and Farmers’ Daily.

Amid the turbulent international food situation, this has given the Chinese people a shot in the arm.
