Chapter 275 A seed can also change the world
Father Xu pointed at the TV, but the news screen had already switched, so he could only say:

"Alfalfa Farming and Livestock is in the news again."

"Muhe?" Xu Xiaoxue murmured, then looked at the TV screen and the news channel.

"For what?"

"You're from Seed Industry Weekly!" Xu Ting said, "It's about the increase in grain production and the increase in cultivated land area!"

"I saw it online," Xu Xiaoxue suddenly realized. "I was writing an article about corn seeds and grain, but I didn't really pay attention to arable land."

Xu Ting said: "The increase in cultivated land is also related to seeds. You can study the salt-eating plants reported two years ago."

Xu Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, but when she thought about the sensation caused by the transformation of Jinta saline-alkali land into grassland two years ago, this was completely understandable.

"Okay, thanks Dad. I'll get busy now."

After saying that, Xu Xiaoxue walked straight to the bedroom without even glancing at Xu's mother Ning Caijuan who was sitting on the other side of the sofa.

Ning Caijuan complained quietly, "Why are you still working after get off work? You're already 27 or 28 years old, and you're not in a hurry at all!"

What greeted him was the sound of a door closing, not too loud, "Bang!"

Ning Caijuan stared at Xu's father, and there seemed to be sparks in her eyes.

Xu Ting smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoxue and Zhang Yang don't have a connection, it's useless to force her like this."

"I didn't force her to be with Zhang Yang. The key is that she doesn't have contact with men." Ning Caijuan was annoyed. "I used to think she was interested in Boss Muhe, but now they don't have any contact."

"Why didn't I see that?" Father Xu shook his head. "Xiaoxue didn't contact Jiahe because of your friend Lai Minjun. She slandered Tianyu No. 1 as being genetically modified, and Xiaoxue was transferred to another position as a result."

These words left Ning Caijuan speechless.

In the bedroom.

Xu Xiaoxue also heard her parents' discussion, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She and Guo Yang were just casual acquaintances.

I admire the entrepreneur's professional ethics more, without any thoughts on gender.

After much difficulty, she was transferred back to work at Seed Industry Weekly. As soon as she came back, she set her sights on Tianhe Seed Industry. The increase in grain production was closely related to Tianhe's high-quality seeds.

I just didn’t expect that such great results could be achieved in the improvement of coastal saline-alkali land.

Xu Xiaoxue was browsing the Internet.

Perhaps due to the broadcast of the News Broadcast, netizens have a better understanding of the increase in cultivated land area.

In particular, CCTV also used helicopter aerial photography this time to show the images of pasture, rice, wheat and soybeans more intuitively.

The visual impact and contrast reminded many people of the reports from two years ago.

This time the shock was even greater than last time.

"Two years ago, when I saw 200,000 acres of barren land turned into endless grassland, I thought there would be such a day. When it really came, I was still so excited that I could hardly calm down."

"Hahaha... I'm from Dongying. There are indeed a lot of saline-alkali lands there. I didn't expect that they have all become fertile fields now."

"I'm from Jiangsu. This is the first time I know about Tiaozini Reclamation Area and the first time I know about sea rice..."

"Our country has 15 billion mu of saline-alkali land, 5 million mu of which have the potential to be developed. Come on, my country!"

"It's Alfalfa Farming and Livestock again, with high-quality forage and grass seeds... they really have created a new world with just one piece of grass!"

"Although Alfalfa Farming and Animal Husbandry is not well-known, the few times it became famous were big events. I also heard that its profits were astonishing. It is a typical example of making a fortune in silence."

Seeing these comments, Xu Xiaoxue smiled knowingly.

But netizens only know that Muhe is awesome. In fact, Tianhe Seeds is not inferior to Muhe, and Fengkai Agricultural Machinery is also a well-known domestic company...

Even less is known about Tianhe and Muhe's parent company, Jiahe Group.

The information on the Internet is mixed, and many netizens are also confused.

"Didn't they say last year that there were only 1.13 million mu of reserve arable land resources? Which one is accurate?"

“Is sea rice grown in the sea? Or is it irrigated with seawater?”

"Why has the amount of food increased so much?"

There are many similar remarks.

There are still many areas that can be further explored. Is it even possible to do an exclusive interview with Golden Harvest?
On a quiet winter night, Xu Xiaoxue sat in front of the computer, silently writing the manuscript.

And she was just one of many media workers, and it was destined to be a restless night.

……

the next day.

There are many more related reports in newspapers, online media and local TV channels.

The enthusiasm for increasing grain production and arable land area began to grow, and people gradually began to emerge from the white terror brought by melamine.

These reports include professional newspapers and periodicals such as Farmers’ Daily and Science and Technology Daily, and the information obtained is more authoritative.

Once it was released, it attracted a lot of attention and was later reposted on the Internet.

These media outlets produced detailed reports focusing on specific locations and farmers.

It was not until then that the general public realized that many people had become rich through the improvement of saline-alkali land.

"Dongying farmer Gao Xiaoxia contracted 1,000 mu of saline-alkali land. Through one crop of forage and one crop of wheat, she can earn 200 to 300 yuan per mu in just one year."

"A farmer in Weifang also recovered his investment in the first year through crop rotation of soybeans and wheat."

"In the Tiaozini Reclamation Area of ​​Jiangsu Province, the trial planting of sea rice was successful this year, with a yield of 1100 kilograms per mu. It will be promoted on a large scale next year..."

"The melamine outbreak made alfalfa popular, which was a blessing in disguise for farmers. The alfalfa hay they had stored was sold at a high price in the winter."

The Farmers’ Daily and other media have also analyzed the reasons for the increase in grain production and cultivated land.

However, the public's focus is not on this.

Why does the book on getting rich have so many fans?
It is because of people’s yearning for getting rich and having a better life, and the threshold for getting rich through agriculture seems to be very low.

If others can do it, why can't I?

Internet portals and media also understand traffic and can quickly capture people’s attention.

He began to collect information on the front line of saline-alkali land improvement and even fabricated cases of getting rich, constantly stimulating people's attention.

Under such circumstances, some people in the surrounding areas who knew some of the situation also made some kind of determination.

Many people from other places also flocked to this hot land.

In this situation, an article interpreted from the perspective of Tianhe Seed Industry and Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry quickly stood out.

The article is from Seed Industry Weekly, written by Xu Xiaoxue - "Increased grain production and increased cultivated land area, who is the biggest winner?"

"After decades of research, our country's scientific and technological workers have accumulated numerous measures to improve saline-alkali land."

"But the biggest contributor to the rapid breakthrough in coastal saline-alkali land is a type of forage grass seed - Alfalfa No. 1."

"It comes from Alfalfa Farming and Animal Husbandry. Its high-quality alfalfa is sold well both at home and abroad. It is also the main forage supplier for Hexi Dairy, which has won national reputation."

"This is a high-quality forage seed that is rich in nutrients and has an extremely strong 'salt-eating' property.
Even in severely saline-alkali soil, Alfalfa No. 1 can germinate and survive well, and within one or two years, it can quickly reduce the soil salt content to below 6‰, or even below 3‰.”

"The market price of this seed is as high as 500 yuan per kilogram. According to the data on saline-alkali land improvement in 2006, the annual seed sales of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry reached to million yuan..."

"Don't forget that Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry also exports a large amount of forage grass. There have been public reports that Alfalfa and the island country have signed orders worth more than 10 billion yuan."

"Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has promoted the improvement of coastal saline-alkali land through Alfalfa No. 1, and also promoted the fertilization of farmland soil, adding a large amount of arable land to the country."

"At the same time, we also made huge profits this year..."

Seeing this, the netizens were extremely shocked.

Eight or nine billion yuan!
Damn it!

Is Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry so profitable?

The export price of forage grass is close to 3000 yuan per ton, which is an astonishing profit.

This kind of seed is even more outrageous!
The elites in the business and financial circles were shocked and extremely upset.

Sure enough, all the good companies belong to others.

But this surprise is far from over. As you continue reading, the hidden giants in the seed industry gradually begin to surface.

"Since 2004, a corn seed called Tianyu No. 1 has appeared on the market."

"In just three years, Tianyu No. 1 has dethroned Zhengdan 958 and taken the crown of domestic corn seeds."

"How good is Tianyu No. 1?"

"It has pioneered the technical services of high density tolerance, single seed sowing, and field three-session. The yield per mu in the northwest region can reach 3000 catties, and other production areas can stabilize at more than 2000 catties."

"The yield per mu increased by 1000 catties."

"In the past two years, farmers in Northwest China, North China, Northeast China and other regions have achieved a leap in corn production and increased their income by planting Tianyu No. 1 and adopting a new planting model."

"Last year, the promotion area of ​​Tianyu No. 1 was close to 6000 million mu. What does this mean?"

"This means that the Tianyu variety alone has increased my country's total corn production by 3000 million tons."

"This time, the grain production increased by 5400 million tons, and Tianyu No. 1 alone accounted for more than half of it. It can be said that Tianyu No. 1 is the biggest contributor to the increase in grain production."

"Tianyu No. 1 is the flagship variety of Tianhe Seeds. The company also has high-yield seeds for wheat, soybeans, potatoes, etc., which have also driven production increases in their respective regions."

"Take Dingxi potatoes as an example. The average yield per mu of Tianhe's virus-free potato seedlings has reached more than 5000 kilograms, while in previous years this figure was 2800 kilograms."

"There are also carrots from Fujian Province. Tianhe's super red carrots can produce more than 1.5 kilograms..."

"Tianhe Seeds has helped farmers achieve bumper harvests through breeding of high-quality varieties and promotion of advanced cultivation techniques, and can be said to be the number one contributor to the increase in grain production."

"It has also made huge profits from seed sales. The price of Tianyu No. 1 is 60 yuan per kilogram, which is 3 to 5 times that of other seeds, but sales are still hot... Other grain, fruit and vegetable seeds are in a similar situation."

"In this year's selection of the top 50 seed companies, Tianhe Seeds has won the top spot with an undisputed advantage. Industry insiders revealed that Tianhe Seeds' revenue has exceeded billion yuan, with astonishing profits. The combined revenue of all domestic listed seed companies cannot match it..."

After reading the introduction of Tianhe Seed Industry, the onlookers already felt a little numb.

At that time, there was no promotion that seeds were the chips of agriculture, and society's awareness of the importance of seeds was actually limited.

Especially many people in cities have no idea about the situation of the seed industry.

If someone takes the lead in denouncing GMOs, then we'll join in the fun; if someone denounces food safety, then we'll join in the fun too.

However, Tianhe Seed Industry has opened up people's cognition, especially by combining various stories of getting rich, which makes people enjoy reading.

People in the financial and business communities have also had their perceptions overturned.

MD!

What are all those listed seed companies in China doing? Their seed sales have exceeded 10 billion!

They also have a general idea of ​​the production and sales costs of seed companies, even though Tianhe's costs are slightly higher.

That’s an amazing profit too!

At the same time, they also keenly captured information from the article: corn yield increased significantly.

The area of ​​cultivated land also increased.

Grain production will increase significantly next year!
The current food prices are a bit high.

Short sell now!

Excellent seeds have changed people's cognition, not only enriching tens of millions of farmers, but also completely reversing the food security situation of the entire country. As an agricultural scientist said in an interview: "Science and technology are potential productivity. They penetrate and condense into the basic elements of productivity, transform into real productivity, and materialize into direct productivity."

Magic City, Lujiazui.

Chen Changshou stared at the trends of various grain contracts with a serious face. The originally steadily rising curve suddenly turned downward.

They played two cards: food crisis and decline in arable land.

It was first reversed by the information released by the authorities.

Now it is well known to everyone who is being interpreted by all walks of life. Not only will their moves be completely resolved, but they may also fail and affect their overseas layout.

Chen Changtao cursed: "MD, when did these people who eat the public grain become so efficient?"

His younger brother Chen Changjun also wondered, "In previous years, the grain production data was only released in March, but this time it was released in January. Could it be false?"

"What are you thinking, you pig head? Do they dare to fake such a thing?"

Chen Changjun said aggrievedly: "Who can tell the truth about this matter? They have the final say on the statistical data."

Chen Changtao put his hands on his hips, his white shirt was stretched out, and said angrily: "And this group of media are the same, they are like dogs seeing shit."

On the side, the trader in front of the computer asked: "Mr. Chen, what should we do now? Should we still go long?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Changtao said, "Let's stabilize it first and avoid this wave of attention. The price will definitely go up again."

Then he looked at his brother and said, "Xiaojun, collect more information about domestic grain production and the conditions of arable land next year. Get more details."

"it is good."

Chen Changtao went to an independent office and called the ADM headquarters.

"Brooks, there are some emergencies in China that I need to report to you."

Chen Changtao carefully conveyed the information to ADM's senior vice president Brooks.

The air is a bit solid.

Brooks said, "Massive increase in corn yields?"

It was winter, but Chen Changtao felt a little hot. "Yes."

Brooks just felt incredible. The corn yield had made a revolutionary breakthrough. Considering China's arable land area, the total increase was terrifying.

at the same time.

Multinational agricultural giants such as Cargill, Bunge, Louis Dreyfus, Monsanto, and international investment funds such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Barclays.

They all knew about China's developments at the same time: grain production increased and arable land increased.

This casts a shadow on the giants.

Cargill Inc.

Albert convened the company's board of directors, "Everyone, we are in trouble now. China has too much grain."

Someone said: "The price of grain in China is much lower than that abroad, so just buy it."

“It would cost a lot of money.”

“Other companies are not going to sit idly by.”

"I agree. There are too many countries that are short of food right now. We won't lose money no matter what."

Albert asked, "Any other suggestions?"

Someone said: "Isn't there a famine in Africa? The FAO can call on countries for international aid. China is very keen on this."

"Many poor people in Africa don't have much money to buy food anyway." Albert smiled and said, "Then leave it to me."

……

Jiuquan.

A heavy snowfall turned the entire city into a white world, except for the Jiahe Park where many colorful plants were still swaying.

When I woke up in the morning, there were a lot of messages accumulated in the work group and the spam group.

"Since last night, the internet has been flooded with praise for Muhe and Tianhe."

Cai Bin: "I hid under the quilt and watched it all night. I have to say, the winter in Zepu is also cold!"

Bao Xinyu: "@Everyone, look at this. Some people say that the combined revenue of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Tianhe Seeds has entered the top ten seed companies in the world."

Xie Shijie: "Brother Bao, stay calm."

Xiang Tianshan: "There is no need to be modest about this. This is a real achievement of the company and also an honor."

Qu Yang: "We will continue to work hard next year and strive to go global as soon as possible."

Guo Yang glanced at it during his exercise, and his mood couldn't help but improve.

Praise from the outside world is one thing.

Another reason is that Jiahe’s power has begun to affect the operation of this society.

While washing, Guo Yang suddenly had an epiphany. When he came out, he picked up his phone, edited a message and sent it to the group.

“The technological revolution in the 21st century will not only be network technology, but also the development of biotechnology.”

"Everyone, come on, everyone."

“A seed can change the world.”

Yu Qin: “Come on!”

Gao De: “Come on!”

"come on!"

……

Rushed to the company early to have breakfast.

It was still the hot pot carefully prepared by Lao Liu. The shredded chicken was full of freshness, and the spicy taste made Guo Yang feel like he was really back in Jiuquan.

After dinner, Guo Yang just arrived at the office. Before he had even made a cup of tea, Qu Yang walked in with a smile.

"Boss, Seed Weekly contacted me and wanted to do an exclusive interview with Tianhe, and also interview you at the same time."

"Seed Weekly?" Guo Yang raised his eyebrows. "Just go and interview me. I won't show up."

Qu Yang smiled and said, "It's someone you know, the female reporter Xu Xiaoxue. Are you sure you don't want to meet her then? Maybe she wants to write an issue about Jiahe."

Guo Yang thought about it, but still shook his head and said:

"You can publish the interview about Tianhe and Muhe, but don't reveal any other information."

Qu Yang said: "In fact, many people already know that Muhe, Tianhe and Fengkai are one company."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "But there are still many things that the outside world doesn't know. Let's keep this veil as long as possible."

Although Muhe, Tianhe and Hexi are very famous, and Fengkai Agricultural Machinery also has a certain degree of popularity in the outside world, there is still very little information about Jiahe Grain and Oil.

At least before 08, Jiahe Grain and Oil should try to keep a low profile.

Qu Yang said: "In that case, I won't go either. I'll let Old Yan go."

"No, you still have to go." Guo Yang boiled the water to make tea and said, "Old Yan is too honest, don't tell him everything when the time comes."

"It means I'm cunning."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "You said that yourself. Do you want to sit for a while? I'll pour you a cup of tea."

"No, my office is already soaked."

Qu Yang was still standing in front of his desk.

Guo Yang asked: "What else?"

Qu Yang hesitated and whispered, "Boss, there may be some problems with Feng Kai's management during this period."

Guo Yang frowned slightly. The financial statements looked good! The production and sales of various agricultural machinery were going smoothly, and there were many popular products.

"What happened?"

"Some time ago, Pu Fei and Guan Cheng had some conflicts over the development of drones. They started quarreling, and I heard it was quite fierce." Qu Yang said in a low voice.

Pu Fei was recommended by Yu Honghai and is now the general manager of Fengkai Agricultural Machinery. Guan Cheng is the vice president with a background in R&D.

They both have decent personalities.

"Why would the two of them have a conflict?"

Qu Yang looked outside the door and confirmed that no one was paying attention before he whispered, "We have developed our plant protection drone."

"But Pu Fei was not very satisfied. He thought that without any breakthroughs in aerial survey and flight control, it would not make much sense even if it was released."

"Then, a team called DJI suggested that we start with aerial photography. Pu Fei agreed and wanted to invest in companies and projects related to gimbals, sports cameras, and smart flight control."

"Guan Cheng is determined to promote agricultural drones first and does not agree to vigorously develop aerial photography. Foreign investment is at a financial standstill..."

Guo Yang was stunned. He wanted to drink some tea to calm down, but his mouth was burned again. He looked at Qu Yang and said, "Laugh if you want to. I don't hold a grudge."

Qu Yang did not respond, but suggested: "Why don't we take back Feng Kai's financial power to the group headquarters?"

It is indeed a bit unreasonable to let a deputy general manager be in charge of finance and the general manager needs to apply to his subordinates for money.

Guo Yang pondered and said, "It's not appropriate to take it back. I'll go down and talk to him with the finance department of the headquarters."

Qu Yang said: "Okay, I'll go first."

Currently, the mainstream market for drones is still military, the civilian market is very small, and the potential of the aerial photography market is generally not optimistic.

But Guo Yang knew that this was a market that could be opened up with the power of technology.

Strictly speaking, neither of them did anything wrong, the problem was that he did not make proper management arrangements.

Fortunately, it’s not too late to change it now.

After Qu Yang left, Guo Yang half-lay on the chair and thought for a long time. He found that he was often entangled in various trivial matters.

But this is normal.

No company founder is not tired. Working more than ten hours a day and flying in the sky for a long time is the norm for these people.

It's not certain to succeed.

In comparison, he was lucky to have built a huge empire in just a few years.

Guo Yang encouraged himself secretly for a while, and then continued to work.

Before returning to Jiuquan from Beijing, I had already notified the heads of major subsidiaries that a meeting would be held the next day.

Therefore, Guo Yang mainly focuses on understanding the progress of key matters and planning adjustments.

The Hexi Dairy Farm and the dairy sector will be separated; Huinong.com and Jiahe Fresh Supermarket will also be separated;

The financial issues of Fengkai Agricultural Machinery need to be communicated in advance; the progress of overseas projects; the construction of the headquarters; the work arrangements before the holidays...

There are so many things to do.

Guo Yang returned to his life rhythm of working during the day, exercising in the morning and evening, and researching breeding at night.
