Chapter 307 Water Pollution (asking for monthly tickets!)

After two days of work, Guo Yang finally came up with a way to deal with the red fire ants and heaved a sigh of relief.

In this way, even if the animals and plants bred in the United States invade our country in the future, we will not be completely blind.

"Boss, are you going back to Jiuquan?"

Xu Xuenong asked hopefully. He had heard about his boss's private jet a long time ago, but he didn't know if he would have the chance to take a ride on it this time.

"I want to go back!" Guo Yang sighed, "But now that I'm here, I may have to stay here for a few more days."

"Then I'll go back first." Xu Xuenong said, "The natural enemy insect production factory in the northwest is already under construction."

"Okay, go back and keep an eye on it!"

Guo Yang has high hopes for natural enemy insects. In the future, he will have both drones in one hand and natural enemy insects in the other. He will have both heavenly soldiers and generals.

However, to fight insects with insects, I feel it is more appropriate to describe it as the Insect Forces.

Pengcheng.

Now Fengkai has gained some fame in this city.

The first agricultural drone in China took off from here, and the Elf also stood out and became the new favorite of model aircraft enthusiasts.

"Why are you so tanned?" Guo Yang looked at Mo Congwei who had become even darker. "You're almost as dark as Li Kui."

Mo Congwei doesn’t care much about the color of his skin. “I went to the fields to debug the drone several times.”

"Hasn't there been enough personnel?"

"We have recruited many people from Harbin Institute of Technology, Beihang University, and Northwestern Polytechnical University."

"Strong soldiers and strong horses!" Guo Yang said: "You need to change your role in time, from technology to management."

“Sales have been good recently, but we have discovered many problems. Many areas require timely debugging and feedback!”

"Trust the people you recruit." Guo Yang said, "If they keep running into the fields, they will be dried into coal balls."

"It's black, so be it. You are the same, boss."

Guo Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really want to go to the countryside? Or are you not capable? Do you want me to get you some more Cistanche deserticola?"

"Why is it not working?" Mo Congwei's face changed and he said, "I'm worried about poor management."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "If you don't understand, just learn. There should be no one in China who knows more about agricultural drones than you. If you say you can't do it, then there really is no one in China who can do it."

Having said that, Mo Congwei also agreed to go to the fields less often in the future.

But Guo Yang was also puzzled. Even if you were flying a drone, you wouldn't get so tanned.

Recently, Fengkai’s sales data has shown a lot of orders from Jiangsu Agricultural Reclamation Bureau.

In addition to the original Huaihai Farm, other farms such as Yuntai Farm, Nantong Farm, Huxi Farm, Changyinsha Farm, etc. also received more orders.

"My goodness, are you guys packing up the Su Province Farmland?"

The agricultural reclamation system is not very prosperous in the current environment, and nearly one-third of agricultural reclamation companies across the country have been closed down.

But there are still a large number of farms active in every corner, tirelessly seeking development.

Guo Yang has a certain understanding of Su Ken Agricultural Development, the first agricultural full-industry chain listed company in the future A-share market.

But it's still early now.

Mo Congwei said: "I just went to Jiangsu a few times and got tanned."

"Suken has been seeking to fully mechanize the rice production process in the past two years. Last year, we began to vigorously promote rice transplanting by machine. The only difficulty left is plant protection."

"Huaihai Farm has received very good results and received more and more orders. This period is the peak period for rice plant protection. We have to provide training and make improvements, which is too busy. So I also stayed there for a week."

Guo Yang looked at the sales list and saw that Su Ken had placed orders for nearly seventy or eighty units in total, which meant seven or eight million yuan.

“Are the employees of Suken so rich?”

"I don't know that."

Mo Congwei said: "But the farms over there are really well maintained. They produce two crops a year, and can produce at least 2,200 to 3,000 kilograms of grain a year."

"Many large households contract thousands of acres of land at a time. It would save a lot of trouble to use plant protection drones for spraying pesticides."

The vast tidal flats along the coast of Jiangsu have a very long history of agricultural reclamation; even ancient rice husks dating back 7000 years have been discovered in Lianyungang.

Because of sea rice, Guo Yang has been to Jiangsu Province several times and dealt with the Rice Research Institute several times. A few days ago, he also asked Zhu Jie about the invasion of red fire ants.

Zhu Jie also invited him to go.

Jiangsu Province has also been invaded by red fire ants recently.

Guo Yang thought for a moment and decided to go back to the northwest first. He would definitely visit Suken Farm next time.

After a day's work in the office, when it was almost time to get off work, Guo Yang thought of the stock market changes he had seen today.

The stock market has been on a downward trend since the cock crowed at 5.30: a.m.

But the lower it is now, the faster it will rise in the next few months. After thinking about it, Guo Yang called Penguin Horse.

"Boss Ma, do you have any social engagements tonight?"

"What? Mr. Guo wants to treat us to a meal?" Pony Ma laughed and said, "Then I have to invite Lao Ding."

"Old Ding is here too?"

"He's been working in Yangcheng recently, so it won't be long before he comes over."

"Okay, Mr. Ma, please make arrangements tonight. I want to see how Lao Ding is doing with his pig farming."

"Isn't it your treat?"

"I brought a lot of good stuff this time. I'll give you some tonight."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Penguin Horse couldn't help but feel more expectant. Anything produced by Mr. Guo must be a top-notch product.

After hanging up the phone, Guo Yang began to make arrangements. He must prepare more Cistanche deserticola, as Lao Ding and Lao Ma are both in their thirties.

Bring two bottles of wine soaked with Cistanche deserticola;

Seabuckthorn honey, hemp tea; Qinghe Agriculture's beef and mutton jerky, as well as various wild delicacies such as asafoetida;

Lao Ding likes to eat hot pot, so he’d like some Dingxi sweet potato noodles and some potato chips... Hey, when were potato chips developed?
Would you like to bring some flour and rice?

It feels a bit low, but Guo Yang still wears it, whether you want it or not.

Each subsidiary now has some of these things on hand, and they are mainly used as gifts.

As gifts were given, the market was gradually developed.

Guo Yang felt that there were quite a lot of varieties. Which boss would be busy giving gifts when having a meal?
After so long, Penguin Ma still hasn't given him the entire five- or six-digit QQ number.

It was still early, so Luo Xiu prepared the gifts to be given, while Guo Yang looked for reports about Tianhe in the Farmers' Daily.

As Qu Yang said, the report on Tianhe only had two paragraphs, but it gave a very high evaluation.

Ranked first in the selection of top 50 seed companies;

Tianyu No. 1 took over the banner of Zhengdan 958 and occupied half of the domestic corn market. It was the first seed company in China to achieve sales of over billion yuan, leading by a huge margin.
Soybeans, wheat, cotton, potatoes, vegetables, flowers...we have a complete range of seeds and are able to compete with world-class seed companies.

Just listing out these data made Guo Yang feel that it was eye-catching enough.

Tianhe's influence obviously goes beyond this. A-shares have been on an overall upward trend from last year to before May 5.30 this year, but there is one exception.

Listed seed companies, especially those whose main business is corn.

For example, Denghai had a period of peak after its listing, with its stock price reaching nearly 20 yuan at its highest, but then it took a sharp turn downward.

The key reason for the sharp decline in the bull market is naturally the significant expected decline in performance.

On the Internet, Guo Yang saw many latest comments from netizens.

"Denghai's main business - corn seed sales business suffered a Waterloo."

“The best seed companies in China are not in the A-share market.”

"Tianyu No. 1 was widely distributed in the Huanghuaihai area and the eastern North China region, which had a great impact on the sales of Denghai products and directly led to a significant decline in the sales of the main products."

"Tianhe has led to a significant increase in per-acre premiums, and the production costs of seed companies have risen by 20%."

"It's not just Denghai. Seed companies like Huaguan Technology and Fengle have all been affected."

"Except for the Tianyu, the performance of other species is very average!"

"It's falling again. You fall when others rise, and you fall when others fall."

It has to be said that there were quite a lot of stock investors during this period, but even though the bull market came, few of them could make money.

There are even more people paying tuition fees.

After watching for a while, Guo Yang posted a comment anonymously on the Internet.

“Cherish your life, stay away from the stock market, and especially stay away from seed companies.”

Guo Yang continued surfing the Internet.

A piece of information about Dianchi Lake came into view.

The Dianchi Lake was seriously polluted and blue algae broke out. On the shore of the Dianchi Lake, the lake water looked like green paint. The rolling green waves of the lake water rushed to the shore, bringing waves of fishy smell.

This news attracted great attention on the Internet.

Because earlier, large-scale pollution incidents also broke out in Taihu Lake and Chaohu Lake.

The Dianchi Lake is even worse.

In early June, a netizen posted on Tianya Forum.

This tourist who was traveling to Kunming was fascinated by the "500-mile Dianchi Lake rushing before his eyes" and took a taxi to the edge of the lake.

But the stinking green lake water obviously gave him too much disappointment and pain.

A few days ago, the blue algae outbreak in Dianchi Lake became a hot news in major media.

Just as Guo Yang was watching intently, Xiao Ma Ge called.

"Mr. Guo, we can leave now. Lao Ding is on his way. I have texted you the address."

"it is good."

Guo Yang closed the webpage thoughtfully, and set off without further delay.

Half an hour later, Guo Yang, carrying a lot of bags, knocked on the door of the private room. It was Penguin Horse who opened the door, and there was no one else in the room.

Seeing Guo Yang's attitude, Pony Ma laughed and said, "Mr. Guo, every time I have a meal with you, you are always so polite."

"It's a small business." Guo Yang said, "Boss Ma, if you ask me, Tencent only needs to purchase Golden Harvest's products to distribute benefits to employees during the New Year and other holidays."

"Sure." Penguin Ma said proudly, "If you need anything else, Mr. Guo, just let me know."

Guo Yang placed the things he brought in a corner of the private room and then sat down.

"If I really ask, can you give me a QQ number with five or six digits?"

"Okay, wrap it up on me."

"Can you really get it?"

"I want to find a way to satisfy the shareholders' demands."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "The stock market has been bad recently. Are there any shareholders who want to sell their shares?"

"Golden Harvest really wants to increase its holdings?"

"That can't be false. I am firmly optimistic about Tencent's development." Guo Yang said: "As long as someone sells, I will buy."

“There are indeed people who want to cash out, but they are still waiting for the right time.”

"Tencent has a new project?" Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Dungeon & Fighter?"

Pony Ma was stunned and asked in surprise: "How did Mr. Guo know this? We just made contact with the Koreans."

"Why is this so hard to guess? DNF was launched in Korea in 2005. Besides, Weiguang has been following Penguin all along."

Mr. Xiao Ma smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Guo is very optimistic about the effect of DNF in China?" Guo Yang was of course aware of the power of the poisonous milk powder. He had played this game for a period of time in his previous life. The krypton gold ability of the eight million warriors was not to be underestimated.

It can even be said that they are the group of game players most willing to recharge.

Guo Yang pondered for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer: "It's OK."

The two chatted for a while, and Ding Lei arrived soon after. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the large and small bags in the private room, and then walked straight over to start looking through them.

"What do you bring?"

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied, they're all good stuff." Guo Yang also stood up and went over to introduce them.

"Cistanche deserticola, honey, beef and mutton, wild delicacies, flour and rice, potato flour, potato chips... and this, Cistanche deserticola soaked in wine. In addition to Cistanche deserticola, it also adds Morinda officinalis, Cyathula officinalis, Schisandra chinensis and other Chinese medicinal herbs. It has the effect of warming the kidney yang, strengthening the waist and kidneys. Drinking it will keep you energetic."

Ding Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, you are the most sincere friend I have ever made."

The three of them were seated and the waiter began to serve the dishes. Guo Yang poured each of them a glass of Cistanche wine.

"Wait until next year, when a new variety of Cistanche deserticola matures. That's the real good stuff. I'll get some for you then."

"Haha, OK, Mr. Guo, when the organic pigs I raise are ready for sale, I will definitely treat you to a whole pig feast."

"No, wait till your pigs are sold and you don't know when it will be. Why not do this? During the holidays, you can buy some Jiahe products as a gift to your employees."

"This is good." Ding Lei agreed without hesitation. He is very particular about food, and Jiahe's products are really good.

Penguin Horse at the side raised his glass and looked at the scene with a smile. Are all entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector like Mr. Guo?

I heard that Mr. Guo has the habit of eating corn cobs, but I don’t know whether it’s true or not.

"This wine is not bad and tastes pretty good," commented Ding Lei.

It was also the first time for Guo Yang to drink wine soaked with Cistanche deserticola. When the wine entered his stomach, he could only taste a slight bitterness, but also a bit of herbal sweetness.

"Although this wine is good, you can't drink too much. One cup per person is enough. If you drink more, you will easily overdo it."

"How about beer later?"

"Okay!"

"It's a hot day and I need some cold beer."

"Then I'll take all the Cistanche deserticola for making wine later, Mr. Ma?"

"You wish for it."

After chatting for a while, Guo Yang, who was already a little drunk, asked, "Old Ding, have you made any progress on the pig farming?"

"No, I'm still investigating. I've seen a lot but I'm not satisfied with any of them."

"Why don't you just stop raising them? You won't get any results anyway. You can just wait to eat Jiahe's pork in the future."

"Jiahe also wants to raise pigs?" asked Penguin Horse.

"It won't be a problem to raise a few hundred of them for our own consumption," said Guo Yang.

"You are not optimistic!" Ding Lei said angrily: "Come, have a drink, I want to tell you about NetEase's pig farming philosophy."

"NetEase will apply Internet technologies and models to agricultural production, bringing a new breeding model to the pig farming industry"

"Be prepared to lose money." Guo Yang also picked up the cup and said, "Old Ding, you don't understand how to raise pigs."

"Then I'm going to prove it to you!"

"Forget it. 1000 million is just a loss for NetEase."

During the meal, Guo Yang had no idea why Ding Lei had become so picky with him and was determined to pick a fight with his second brother.

He also vowed to compete with him to see who raises better quality pigs.

Guo Yang thought, aren't you asking for trouble?

In the evening, Ding Lei returned home, first drank a glass of fresh milk from Hexi, and then made love with his newlywed wife. He was indeed in a much better state than when he usually drank.

But in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but think back to Guo Yang's face, "Who are you looking down on?"

"But 1000 million may indeed be too little, let's add some more money!"

At the same time, Guo Yang, who had just finished washing up, was still a little dazed. He stood in front of the mirror and looked at that handsome face.

"Shit, who is it? Why is it so dark?"

"It doesn't taste like Heigu either!"

……

The next day.

Thinking back to what happened yesterday, Guo Yang couldn't help but feel a headache.

"You're so overwhelmed, why are you raising pigs?"

According to his original idea, it would be possible to build one or two small-scale boutique farms after one or two years.

But now that he is competing with Ding Lei, his annual output must be at least better than Ding Lei's, which means at least 10,000 to 20,000 heads of cattle per year.

The investment must be at least tens of millions, right?

Where is the best place to build a farm? Guo Yang wondered, raising pigs in the south is too trendy.

North? How about raising pigs in the desert?

He remembered that Jiahe and the Soil Conservation Center had a sand-to-soil project in Xinjiang Province, which was launched around the fall and winter of 2005.

Now it has been a year and a half, and I don’t know if there are any results.

You can ask when you get back.

According to the schedule, Guo Yang should have returned to the northwest today, but the technical team of Quanwang Bio and Cheng Liming of Tianhe arrived in Guangdong Province two days ago.

In early July, early-maturing rice in Guangdong Province has begun to be harvested from south to north.

Now is the time to test the results.

In an experimental field in Panyu, Yangcheng, the high-quality rice is golden and the summer harvest is in full swing. Farmers are wearing straw hats and working hard in the rice fields to harvest.

This is Tianhe’s organic rice experimental field.

Diseases, insects and weeds in rice fields are controlled by selecting resistant varieties, placing solar insecticidal lamps in the fields, auxiliary spraying of biological pesticides, raising ducks in rice fields and other measures.

Although it is called organic, in fact, we are just working towards this direction. There are still many problems to be solved if we want to truly realize organic production and farming.

There was already harvested rice drying in the yard. Guo Yang grabbed a handful and took a look. It looked strange.

"Is this Tiandao 22?"

Cheng Liming said: "Yes, Tiandao 22 has a good taste and quality. If it can be grown organically, it will be very valuable, but it seems to have failed."

"Under organic cultivation conditions, the rate of sheath blight disease in Tiandao 22 reached 65%. Conventional rice varieties are still a little weak in resistance, but the new variety performed very well."

The new variety of rice was only cultivated in February this year, and a portion of it was taken for use in organic experiments.

“What about biological pesticides?”

Guo Yang looked at the other person, Yan Shu, a researcher from the Omni King, who was fair and clean.

Yan Shu said: "Several existing biological pesticides have a significant control effect on the Chilo suppressalis and Rice Leaf Folder."

"What about sheath blight?"

"Sheath blight is a fungal disease and is still being studied in the laboratory."

Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

"It's not a big deal. Fungi can be diseases, but they can also be natural defenders of the forest."

After observing the results, Guo Yang believes that organic agriculture still has great potential.

The new varieties have shown good resistance, biological pesticides still have room for improvement, we have accumulated experience in raising ducks to prevent weeds in rice fields, and a natural enemy insect production workshop is also being prepared...

As long as we continue the experiment for a few more years, we will be able to carry out the transformation to organic agriculture on a large scale.

If it were him in his previous life, even if he had read a lot of marketing accounts and liked organic products, he would not have gotten involved in organic farming.

Because few people can afford it and it is difficult to produce results.

But this life is different. I have no shortage of money or status, and I always want to do more different things.

In the setting sun, the warm breeze blows, the fragrance of rice is in the air, the rice ears sway in the wind, creating layers of golden waves, and the farmers, wearing straw hats on their heads, pull carts and walk on the ridges of the fields.

……

On the way back to the city, the scene of the wind blowing the rice waves lingered in Guo Yang's mind. This is the romance of farmers.

But soon his attention was attracted by a body of water.

The water surface area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters is completely covered with dense water hyacinths, a sea of ​​green.

Water hyacinth.

Currently, water hyacinth is rampant in southern provinces. Shanghai, Sichuan, Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangxi have successively launched a campaign to encircle and eliminate water hyacinth.

This is also an invasive species that causes great headaches in the country, and has had serious impacts on the aquatic ecological environment and the shipping industry.

In the end, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to salvage the damage and finally complete the treatment.

Suddenly, Guo Yang had an idea.

Water hyacinth is an invasive plant, but it has also contributed to domestic environmental governance, such as the current social hot spot: Dianchi Lake.

In his previous life, when Guo Yang traveled to Erhai Lake, he also went to Dianchi Lake on purpose and saw that nearly half of the water area of ​​Dianchi Lake was planted with water hyacinths.

Due to the severe eutrophication of the water body, the water hyacinths planted in Caohai have grown abnormally tall and strong, with the branches and leaves above the water surface alone being seventy to eighty centimeters high.

These water hyacinths were eventually salvaged and made into organic fertilizer, and the water condition of Dianchi Lake also improved.

The black and smelly phenomenon disappeared, seagulls gathered, and fish and shrimp reappeared.

But today, Dianchi Lake is still a pain in the hearts of Kunming people - Kunming lacks water and Dianchi Lake is polluted.

Since 1993, nearly 50 billion yuan has been invested in governance, but the situation has not improved at all.

Water hyacinth still makes Dianchi Lake shudder. It grows wildly in the polluted waters, and the salvage project is huge.

But in fact, water hyacinth is a treasure for pollution control. Among all organisms, water hyacinth has the strongest ability to absorb nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and is the best plant for removing rich nutrients in water.

Dianchi Lake is just too fertile.

Phosphorus, nitrogen and various harmful substances in the water bodies are seriously exceeding the standard, with the highest level being as high as 80 times. There are as many as 60 carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic substances.

Later, in addition to curbing the source of pollution, it was the utilization of water hyacinth that allowed Dianchi Lake to see hope from despair.

Guo Yang came to his senses and realized that due to economic development, there were countless rivers and lakes polluted in the country.

If Jiahe can participate in the governance work, the natural energy obtained will surely be considerable.

But this kind of thing involves GDP.

Everyone knows that the key to pollution control is to control the source of pollution.

Similarly, everyone knows that polluters are often "big profit and tax payers" and "pillar enterprises."

Why did huge amounts of money spent on pollution control go to waste?

People are already too familiar with the reasons, so familiar that they are somewhat numb. It is still the same old problem: first pollute and then control, or control while polluting.

This is true for Taihu Lake and Dianchi Lake.

Creating pollution increases GDP; spending huge sums of money to control pollution increases GDP again. I wonder how much GDP is “rolled” this way.

Therefore, it is difficult for Jiahe to directly participate in such matters, but Guo Yang thinks it is no problem to think of a way to participate indirectly.

In addition, water pollution in the Northwest is also alarming, with 79% of the population living in water-polluted areas.

The main stream of the Yellow River, the main stream of the Wei River, the Shiyang River, the Shule River and the Yili River...

The development of agriculture cannot be separated from water.
