Chapter 293 I want to eat fish
Guo Yang was not aware that there was a new store selling flower seeds on Taobao, and even if he knew, he would not care.

Because Huinong.com is not suitable for C2C transactions.

In its previous life, Huinong.com was not well-known among the general public, but it had a bad reputation among buyers and wholesalers.

Cases of fraud often occur, some of which are caused by Huinong, the middleman, blindly pursuing transaction volume and profit.

To be honest, Golden Harvest does not particularly need this profit, it just needs to ensure the integrity of the entire system.

Come back to your senses.

Guo Yang drank a sip of tea happily and walked to the window. The Qilian Snow Mountain in early April was full of vitality.

He couldn't help but review the "banana cancer" incident again.

I always feel like there's something fishy going on.

The Panama virus has existed abroad for hundreds of years without causing any significant impact.

It has been less than 20 years since it was involved in the country, but it has caused such a huge wave.

Is there an evil hand behind this?
Huinong.com and Weiguang Company have jointly collected some information that Dole, the world's largest fruit company, has set up a banana office in Shanghai this year.

Build cold storage, ripening distribution center, and sign contracts with many supermarket chains such as Walmart, Carrefour, and Costco.

While the prices of domestic bananas have plummeted, the prices of imported bananas remain as strong as ever, a huge contrast.

Before the turmoil, imported bananas were 30% more expensive. After the turmoil, the price of imported bananas continued to rise.

But ironically, the banana farms supplying Dole at this time were in China, not its production base in Mindanao, Philippines.

Bananas from the same land are sold at two different prices, one in the sky and the other in the earth.

In addition to Huinong.com, which made the most profit in this turmoil, fruit import and export companies such as Dole are also making money quietly.

Is it so magical?

Guo Yang had no doubts at first, but he couldn't help but think of the future textbooks and tank trucks transporting cooking oil.

"New Shock" broke the news and attacked the national team's Jinding cooking oil. Internal and external forces wanted to defeat the national team in one fell swoop and divide the benefits.

Unexpectedly, he bit the head of his financial sponsor, the golden arowana.

When I touched the golden arowana, the world suddenly became quiet.

Collusion between insiders and outsiders!
Is this the same routine this time?
Dole has been in China for many years, but it only entered the banana market this year. It opened up the situation as soon as it entered. From the perspective of conspiracy theorists, Guo Yang had to be more vigilant.

Whether it is Wilmar International, Dole, Monsanto, or even the four major grain traders, as long as they seize the loopholes of Jiahe, they will definitely take a bite.

What's more, Jiahe cooking oil has been on the market for two months and must have attracted the attention of competitors.

Just as I was thinking deeply, the phone rang again.

Guo Yang took a look, answered the call, and said, "Old Ding, what's the matter? Let me make it clear first. The red hemp tea I sent to you is gone. You have to wait a few months if you want to drink it."

“I want to raise pigs.”

"I know you want to raise pigs." Guo Yang said with a smile, "But why did you come to me? Jiahe doesn't have any pig raising business."

"But you understand agriculture." Ding Lei held on tightly. To be honest, he was really amazed by Jiahe's products during this period.

If he could get away, he would like to go to the northwest to see Jiahe's base in person.

Ding Lei added: “Give me some advice!”

"Large-scale pig farming is not that simple, and I don't really understand it," Guo Yang said, "but if you need high-quality green fodder, I can provide it."

Ding Lei asked: "Is it okay for pigs to only eat grass? Shouldn't they eat sweet potatoes?"

"Then you have to study it carefully."

Hearing this, Ding Lei was a little disappointed. What this meant was that he didn't want to get too involved.

He told many people about his passion for agriculture and his idea of ​​raising pigs, but was met with ridicule and indifference.

The Internet and pig farming are two completely unrelated things.

I thought I would get some comfort from Guo Yang, but I didn't expect that he would be looked down upon as well.

This further stimulated his competitive spirit.

"Mr. Guo, have you ever tasted really delicious pork?" Ding Lei smiled again and said, "I'll treat you in two years."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Guo Yang was indeed a little nonchalant. Large-scale pig farming was not that fun, not to mention that Ding Lei's pig farming was still experimental in nature.

It's just an exploration of new agriculture.

That is to say, it is just for fun.

After many high-tech giants entered the agricultural field, they found that the agricultural field is "very complicated" and they cannot handle it at all.

For some people, it takes one or two years just to lease rural land, which involves a lot of trouble.

Pig farming seems to require no technical skills and has a low entry threshold, but in fact, its hidden threshold is very high, and large-scale agriculture has high requirements for capital and technology.

In most agricultural investment projects, the end result is a loss.

Of course, there are also some people who enclosed land and stopped engaging in agriculture, but instead turned to real estate development, and ultimately made up for their losses in agriculture.

After years of delay, NetEase's pig farming project ended in failure.

Guo Yang didn't want to get involved in a hobby project that was doomed to fail. If Jiahe was going to do it, it would do its best.

It’s not certain who will treat whom to good pork?

……

By early April, spring sowing had been completed in most areas of the Hexi Corridor.

According to what Guo Yang learned during his visit to the countryside recently, Jiuquan has already implemented spring sowing on an area of ​​more than 200 million mu.

Since returning from the Spring Festival, Fengkai Agricultural Machinery and Tianhe Seed Industry have been the busiest for two consecutive months.

This year, the scope of agricultural machinery subsidies has been expanded and the amount has also increased significantly. Taking Jiuquan as an example, the agricultural machinery subsidy funds exceeded 10 million yuan for the first time.

Other cities also saw significant growth.

In order to cooperate with the agricultural machinery department, Fengkai also dispatched a large number of technical service personnel to go deep into the fields in townships and villages to hold on-site meetings, training classes and consultation desks.

Even tens of thousands of experienced agricultural machinery workers were sent from the factories to teach farmers about the performance of machinery and to train agricultural machinery operators.

During this process, Fengkai's sales of various agricultural machinery and equipment once again achieved excellent results.

In 2005, Fengkai's annual output value was approximately 5.5 million yuan.

In 2006, the output value was nearly 24 billion yuan and the profit was about 4.8 million yuan.

Entering 2007, taking the tractor market as an example:
In January, the monthly sales of Cheetah series medium and large tractors were 1 units, and the total sales of the series were 598 units;
In February, the monthly sales volume of the entire series was 2 units, ranking second in domestic monthly sales volume;

In March, the monthly sales volume of the entire series reached 3 units, ranking first in domestic monthly sales.

Compared with last year, domestic sales of medium and large tractors in the first quarter of this year were relatively flat, and most manufacturers even saw a slight decline.

However, Fengkai Agricultural Machinery continued to grow.

Yancheng Tractor Factory, China First Tractor Co., Ltd., and Foton Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. have all been surpassed by Fengkai Agricultural Machinery.

However, the technological progress of other manufacturers is also obvious. For example, Foton launched a large tractor with 265 horsepower for the first time.

It has caught up with Fengkai in terms of power.

However, in the field of grain harvesters, Fengkai's leading advantage is not as obvious as expected.

Fengkai's fully self-propelled corn harvester, wheat harvester, and full range of forage machinery have already gained a certain reputation.

However, Foton Lovol and Tiantuo also announced this year that they have achieved mass production of self-propelled corn harvesters, but the products have not yet been put on sale and the quality is unknown.

However, the agricultural machinery subsidy policy has received relatively positive feedback.

Amid soaring steel and diesel prices, China's leading agricultural machinery manufacturers are still doing relatively well and have enough capacity to engage in technological research and development and breakthroughs.

Farmers' enthusiasm for purchasing machinery has also been stimulated, and agricultural mechanization productivity in various places has increased rapidly.

Among them, the rapid rise of Fengkai Agricultural Machinery is particularly eye-catching!

More and more models are launched, the performance is very good, the after-sales service is perfect, and the warranty period is very long...

In many aspects, it has set a precedent in the domestic agricultural machinery industry, attracting many leading manufacturers to follow suit. This has led to a substantial increase in domestic agricultural machinery exports in the past two years, and 2007 seems to be a period of explosion.

At the same time, Fengkai also performs well in power fields such as single-cylinder diesel engines, water pumps, and diesel generators.

In addition to Fengkai, Tianhe’s seeds continue to consolidate its position as the leader in the domestic seed industry.

Tianyu No. 1 is leading the way. The reputation of this variety for high yield has spread across the country. Regardless of whether it is suitable or not, farmers will give it a try, and the shipment speed is still very fast.

However, compared with the 1 million mu of seed stock of Tianyu No. 2.85, it is definitely impossible to clear the inventory this year.

Tiandou No. 1 followed closely behind. As soybean prices rose, the use of coastal saline-alkali land to grow soybeans brought good benefits and was also very effective in improving the soil.

Next are Tianmian 20 and Tianshu 21. With the examples of increased production and income in Xinjiang Province and Dingxi last year, they should not be underestimated this year.

Some areas with similar geographical conditions have introduced it.

Just around Yumen and Jiuquan, there are many farmers who choose Tianmian 20.

Guo Yang spent more than a week in this way in the countryside.

After running through the Hexi Corridor, we immediately arrived at the soybean base in Zepu, Xinjiang Province.

It is located in the southwest of Xinjiang Province, where it is dry and has little rain.

Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the machine, the seed drill rumbled and galloped back and forth on the cultivated land.

After plowing, the land became flat and soft, and plump soybean seeds were buried in the soil as the seeder moved up and down.

On the side of the road, Guo Yang looked at Shen Zhi, the general manager of the base next to him. He was wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt and light blue jeans and was in his prime.

“Sowing soybeans in the spring should be okay, right?”

When he came, he saw that many local farmers still had immature wheat in their fields, so he asked this question.

"It's already past April 4th, and the temperature has stabilized, so normal growth will be no problem."

Shen Zhi pondered for a while and then said, "But if we choose soybeans as a spring crop in Zepu, we can only harvest one crop a year, and the land utilization rate is not high."

Guo Yang looked at the white salt stains still left on the ground and smiled:

"For the newly improved saline-alkali land, it would be great if we can harvest normally for one season."

The 50 acres of land in Zepu was transferred only after last autumn. Donghe Agricultural Machinery deep plowed the land once in early winter and again after the New Year.

This improvement method is too crude.

In fact, the salinity of the ground has not decreased at all.

Guo Yang said: "After the soybeans are harvested and the straw is backfilled, we can go to the ranch to get some cow and sheep manure to improve the soil, and then leave the land fallow for half a year."

"Boss, it's great that you think this way." Shen Zhi said with a smile, "If we do this, this will be a good piece of land again next year."

Leaving land fallow means much less income.

This is 50 acres of land!
If you grow more for one season, you can earn hundreds of millions!

Now, not only do we have to leave the land fallow for half a year, but we also have to use cow and sheep manure to speed up soil improvement, which in turn costs a lot more money.

For Shen Zhi, who has been engaged in agriculture for more than ten years, he has never felt so happy.

Guo Yang smiled and continued to ask: "Has the soybean breeding base been built?"

"Yes." Shen Zhi said, "It's just that the conditions here are relatively poor, and it is expected that most of the seeds will not germinate very well."

"I'm not afraid of difficulties, what I'm afraid of is that it hasn't even started yet," said Guo Yang.

Xinjiang Province has a vast land area, which is extremely suitable for soybean cultivation, but the good land is used to grow cotton.

In the long run, this will lead to a long-term shortage of soybean seed reserves in Xinjiang Province.

During this period in Zepu, farmers had a small soybean planting area, a single variety, and they kept and bred their own seeds. The growing period was long, the pods were not concentrated, the yield was low, and the soybean eyes were large and black.

It could only be given to Tianhe as breeding material, but even this was met with deep dislike.

Such seeds are definitely not acceptable.

Tianhe now has 4 soybean varieties.

In addition to Tiandou No. 1, there are three other varieties: soybean seeds for cold and cool areas, soybean seeds for northwestern arid areas, and soybean seeds for coastal areas.

In Zepu, we chose soybeans grown in arid areas.

But the varieties must be kept diverse!

The soybean growth potential in Xinjiang Province is something that Jiahe Grain and Oil attaches great importance to, and the planting area is definitely indispensable.

So more seeds are needed.

In this regard, Guo Yang does not intend to intervene anymore and plans to hand it all over to Tianhe Scientific Research Institute.

The sunset here is very late.

But Guo Yang still had a bonfire dinner with the pioneering team.

Guo Yang picked up a full glass of Da Wusu beer, stood up and said loudly:
"In just half a year, 50 mu of wasteland has been planted from scratch. We have achieved a phased victory. This toast to you!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Drink it all in one gulp.

"Everyone, keep working hard in the future." Guo Yang wiped his mouth. Wu Su was really motivated. "As long as we can achieve the production target, we will get dividends and rewards."

"it is good."

"The boss has invested so much money, the project will definitely succeed."

A young man came over and poured Guo Yang a glass of wine, saying, "Boss, when can we drink the beer brewed by Jiahe using its own hops?"

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Which branch are you from? You look familiar."

"From Tianhe Seeds." Xiong Xing said with a smile, "I used to be at the Yumen Seed Production Base and I also drank with the boss."

Guo Yang had some impressions, looked at the people who came to visit, and said: "This year, the beer supplied by Jiahe will be out."

"Okay, then the boss will drink to his heart's content!"

"You're thinking shit!"

"That's right. In the first year, the hop yield won't be high. It's good enough to be able to try something new."

"Enough." Guo Yang said in a loud voice: "We planted 3000 acres of hops this year. Isn't that enough for you to drink?"

"Hahaha……"

Xiong Xing asked, "There's also seafood, boss."

"We can still eat salmon, South American prawns, Australian lobsters, butter crabs this year. The farms are also in the western part of Xinjiang Province, not far from Zepu."

Hops and seafood have been in preparation since last year and are finally on track this year.

Guo Yang is a little excited when he thinks that the promise made in two or three years will be fulfilled.

I wonder if those netizens at that time have forgotten it?

As they drank the wine, the aftereffect of Wusu was indeed quite strong. Guo Yang felt a little dizzy and half-lying on a chair next to the campfire, looking at the cold moon.

"Luo Xiu, I want to go fishing in Altay."

"Then I'll arrange it."

Just then, the sound of a bell pierced the night sky.

Guo Yang looked at him in confusion. Who would call at this late hour?

I have a bad feeling in my heart.

The call was from Yu Honghai. The Democratic Republic of the Congo was in trouble again, with a fine from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

Extortion in disguise.

Guo Yang suddenly wanted to eat fish.
