Chapter 314: Just for the green on the highest grassland
"Such a large piece of land, has the city really let it go like this?"

After the meeting, Guo Yang still couldn't believe it. The city seemed to have no objection to Jiahe monopolizing such a large area of ​​the Gobi Desert.

If it were in the past, it would be fine, after all, it is a rotten desert.

But now it’s different. After Jiahe’s efforts over the past two or three years, its potential is already visible to the naked eye.

Qin Lijun shook his head and said with a smile: "Eat as much rice as your bowl can hold."

"We may not be able to do what Jiahe can do, and subsequent investment is indispensable."

Indeed, although the Gobi Desert has taken shape now, it is still very rough and full of risks.

Qin Lijun said: "You have also heard the plan. Jiuquan's water resources can support a maximum population of 40 to 52 people. Even though Jiahe is thriving now, as long as the water resources show signs of being unable to bear the burden, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"If it really came to that, Jiahe would have given up on his own."

Guo Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Have the leaders learned about the changes in groundwater in Jiuquan in the past two years?"

"Why, anything special?"

"Jiahe has actually been monitoring it. The groundwater structure of Jiuquan is tilted from southwest to northeast, which is the Gobi Desert where Jiahe is located. Because it is closer to the Qilian Mountains, the groundwater resources are more abundant."

Guo Yang is already familiar with these data.

"According to statistics, the total groundwater discharge in Jiuquan in previous years was 8.5 million cubic meters, and the recharge was 8.52 million cubic meters, which basically maintained a balance between supply and demand."

"In the past two years, the recharge volume has been on an upward trend. Even with such a drought this year, the recharge volume is not expected to be greatly affected."

"Really?" Qin Lijun probably understood. "If that's the case, it's a good thing."

"Are there still many deserts and Gobi around here?"

Guo Yang saw that the time was almost right, so he asked, "Leader, do you know what the Dunhuang West Lake Wetland Reserve is like?"

"Jiahe is interested?"

"I want to know first, the West Lake was Lop Nur in the past, and Jiahe is also a shareholder of Lop Nur Potassium?"

"There is this kind of relationship?" Qin Lijun was surprised. Luo potassium is a strategic resource and one of the largest projects in the country.

With China Development Bank taking over the development, this project is almost certain to make money.

After a moment of silence, Qin Lijun said, "The management team of the West Lake Conservation Area should have just been established, and the various conditions are quite difficult."

"Besides, West Lake doesn't have much development value. Investing there is basically a losing business..."

After passing Yangguan and Yumenguan, you basically enter an uninhabited area with a poor ecological environment and few people.

It is not like Luo potassium which is a scarce resource.

The desert control in Minqin by Shahai relies on the parasitic Cistanche deserticola in the Haloxylon ammodendron forest to generate profits.

Are Haloxylon ammodendron also planted here?
But the wetland area inside seems to be quite large.

After pondering for a while without an answer, Ding Lei's rough face suddenly appeared.

Travel agency?!

In fact, investing in ecological and environmental governance does not require explanation to the outside world, and the government should not reject Jiahe’s request.

Qin Lijun said this probably because he was afraid that Jiahe’s investment would be too large and they would get stuck in it. After all, it is not easy for a northwestern city to have a representative large enterprise.

In order to avoid being too abrupt, or to prevent people from speculating what shameful things Jiahe is doing.

Guo Yang barely found an excuse.

"Leader, Jiahe currently has a lot of tourism resources in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Gansu provinces, and plans to set up a travel agency and company."

"West Lake Wetland will also develop some eco-tourism projects appropriately."

The more Guo Yang talked, the more he felt that "Tianhe Seed Academy can also conduct scientific experiments and breed rare and endangered wild animals and plants."

"Leader, you know that the more severe the living environment, the more miraculous plants are likely to be born."

Qin Lijun really wanted to say that he didn’t understand these things.

"Hmm...hahaha, if Jiahe is willing to invest, that would be the best. I'll take it on."

National nature reserves are generally divided into experimental areas, transition areas, and core areas, which allow moderate use of their resources and environment to carry out ecotourism activities.

"Leader, the investment may not be small."

"Huh? How big is it?"

Is it possible that an eco-tourism project in an uninhabited area could become a huge success?

"I haven't thought about it yet." Guo Yang said with a smile: "I just have a preliminary idea, and I haven't written a single word about the plan yet."

"Yeah, let's take a look first."

Qin Lijun didn't take it seriously. Jiuquan had invested so much money in the management of the Beida River, so it was reasonable for Jiahe to return the favor.

Jiayuguan also received a 1 billion yuan investment from Bifengkai!
Guo Yang said: "It just so happens that a friend is coming to visit these two days, so I prepared a motorcade and went to investigate."

"If conditions permit, let's see if we can go to Lop Nur."

"Okay, that's it. I'll say hello to West Lake and let me know when there's a result."

"and many more."

Qin Lijun started to chase people away, and Guo Yang was also preparing to go back, but before he could leave, he was stopped again.

"In October this year, the country will organize the first large-scale scientific expedition to the Kumtag Desert. Jiahe may try to participate."

Guo Yang's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

It's really what you need.

I almost missed such important news.

However, the route of the scientific expedition team is still unknown.

There are actually two Kumtag Deserts, one near Turpan, to the east and south of Turpan.
The other one is between Lop Nur and Dunhuang, which is the target temporarily selected by Guo Yang.

If the route is not suitable, Jiahe will have to organize its own scientific expedition team.

After I walked out of the administrative building and before I got into the car, another phone call came in.

"Is this a gathering today?"

The call was from Li Xingjian from Jiugang.

"Mr. Guo, congratulations! Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry won the bid for the Jingtie Mountain Ecological Governance Project."

For such a small matter, hasn’t it been arranged internally long ago?

Guo Yang gradually came to his senses.

"Haha, Mr. Li, I will give Ke Tianxiu a call. All subsequent steel orders in the surrounding area will be placed from Jiugang. Please give me a preferential price, Mr. Li."

"Okay, okay. Jiugang's modern agricultural park also needs Tianhe seeds." Li Xingjian didn't have any other intentions, he just wanted to show his face.

Jiahe is now a popular company, but Jiugang is the local boss.

"In addition, I heard that Tianhe also has an organic farming program that includes natural enemy insects and biological pesticides. Jiugang is also very interested."

"No problem, I'll find someone to arrange it."

After hanging up the phone, Guo Yang was still wondering why it was so nonsensical.

This kind of thing can be done by anyone, so why bother calling in person?
Guo Yang called Ning Xiaojing and handed over the task of purchasing steel and organic agricultural service plans.

I looked at the time and saw that the meeting had lasted about two hours. It was already past three in the afternoon.

It was the time when the sun was scorching.

After thinking for a while, Guo Yang called Niu Hulin again, "Where is he?"

"I'm in the administration building. I'm just about to go back."

“Shit, Luo Xiu turned around… I’ll pick you up at the door, and we’ll go to Jingtie Mountain together to take a look. You know that the project was awarded, right?”

"Well, the bid was just opened this afternoon, and the amount is not large, only a few million yuan."

The car drove back.

A few minutes later, Guo Yang met Niu Hulin.

"Let's go to the Jingtie Mountain Mine together?"

"Ah, now?"

"What is the problem?"

Niu Hulin said: "It's too late. The road there is winding and the road conditions are bad. There is often no signal. It will take at least three or four hours."

"The mining area is in a high-altitude mountainous area. You have to go through several caves and rolling stone areas. It's very dangerous. Boss, there's no need for you to go. The project is not big."

Guo Yang was stunned. He didn't expect this.

After arriving at the company, he took a look at the bidding documents for the ecological governance of the Jingtieshan mining area.

By the way, I also saw the project records of the engineering department over the years.

The mining area is located at an altitude of 3,900 meters, surrounded by towering mountains, with a freezing period of up to seven months. It is only more than 20 kilometers away from the "July 1st Glacier".

"In a place like this, the conditions for ecological restoration of the mining area are a bit too harsh."

Niu Hulin smiled and said, "I've been there, except that it's a little steeper, it's pretty much the same as Tianzhu and Gannan."

In recent years, the Engineering Department of Muhe has been following the activities of mentor Weng Lixin, and many projects were introduced by the mentor.

But in fact, the amounts are not large, and after deducting the investment costs, there is basically no profit.

Guo Yang asked: "Hulin, how many projects have you done in these years?"

"About 10 or so. Most of the time, we were in the Gannan grassland. In addition, we also did a few projects in Tianzhu, Qaidam, and the Loess Plateau."

"It's basically a high-altitude, cold region. We climb steep slopes and dig trenches during the day, and discuss technical solutions at night. We've long been used to it."

"The most common grass is grassland. The company's ice wolf grass and other grass species are very useful."

Niu Hulin recalled and laughed:
“Although this is the first time we have done mine restoration, after seeing the site, it is nothing more than slope disaster management and spraying flowers and plants on the slopes.”

Guo Yang flipped through the project records.

Elimination of pikas and restoration of grasslands in Gannan; cleaning of poisonous weeds in Tianzhu grasslands; planting of shelterbelts in Qaidam; returning farmland to grassland on the loess plateau...

After several years of accumulation and tempering, the young people in the engineering department are active on the alpine grassland, just for the green on the grassland with the highest altitude.

Ice wolf grass, purple arrow pea, etc. have successfully brought new vitality to barren lands.

The rapid growth of Seed Store Natural Energy in recent years may be related to this.

The environment of the project site is very difficult.
But it was precisely this experience that allowed Niu Hulin and others to acquire a lot of technical experience under the guidance of their mentors.

Research on ecological restoration technology for plateau and high-cold wounds, vegetation restoration on steep slopes in high-cold areas, and breeding of native plants for ecological restoration in plateau and high-cold areas...

The technical achievements and technical experience accumulated during the implementation of these projects will become an important support for this mine restoration.

In the tender,

For the Jingtieshan Iron Mine, the Engineering Department also started from the simulated permafrost characteristics spraying structure, soil microbial activation, root fungus soil cycle improvement, high-altitude sparse shrub grassland plant configuration, high-altitude characteristic native plant pre-cultivation, and high-altitude plant diversity restoration to form a full technical process implementation plan.

Kenaf, wolf grass, and purple arrow pea are also among the plant options.

Guo Yang felt relieved.

The water of Taolai River flows past Jingtie Mountain. Hemp can conserve water resources and reduce unnecessary losses.

Ecological protection can also reduce ammonia nitrogen emissions.

He really took great pains to protect the water of Taolai River.

However, as long as it can make Jiahe headquarters worry-free and continue to bring in natural energy, it is worth it.

After reading the complete plan, Guo Yang no longer had any doubts about the ecological restoration of the Jingtieshan mining area.

"Have you contacted Dunhuang West Lake?"

"Well, we have contacted Secretary Wang from the Administration, and the reserve has built its first protection station in Erdun Village."

"Where's the car?"

"Three are prepared."

"Not enough." Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Prepare 7-8 vehicles. In addition to the ones from Muhe, we also need to send people from the Security Department and Tianhe Science Academy."

Niu Hulin looked surprised. Seven or eight cars would mean there would be twenty or thirty people going.

There are only a dozen people in the reed forest protection station in Erdun Village.

Such a big fanfare shows that West Lake Wetland has a very high status in the boss' mind. It seems that there is a place to work hard in the next few years.

West Lake Wetland is another place with a very desolate natural environment.
-
The drought situation continued in various places, but that afternoon, the sky in Quancheng, Shandong Province suddenly darkened.

At half past five, heavy rain came, and in less than half an hour, the water flooded the road and onto the sidewalk.

At 6:05, the water level rose two more steps. Bicycles on the roadside fell to the ground and were washed away by the flood. Some cars were also washed away.

The sudden torrential rain caused serious waterlogging in low-lying areas of the city, paralyzed traffic, and collapsed buildings...

As a major agricultural province, Shandong Province is Jiahe's key layout area in North China.

At the time of the heavy rain, many Jiahe employees were in the urban area of ​​Quancheng and witnessed the entire process of the rain. In the process of rescuing and being rescued, Fengkai's drone played a significant role.

Find the trapped people and save them from danger.

A bus broke down under a culvert, and countless people built ladders and human ladders on the water.

A van fell into a mountain ditch, and the groom lifted his fiancée up high...

As the rainstorm gradually dissipated, fragmented images gathered together, containing sadness, regret and relief.

the next day,
When Guo Yang woke up, the news was already everywhere.

"The agricultural supply supermarket distribution center in Quancheng was flooded, causing heavy losses; several employees participated in the rescue and suffered minor injuries, and several drones were damaged."

"The drone also assisted the fire department in the rescue, and the effect was very good. There may be commendations in the future."

"Many farmlands were flooded, and we are still collecting information. It's a pity, as the corn harvest is almost here."

Yuan Wenwu introduced the situation to Guo Yang. The corn harvest time in Shandong Province is generally from late August to early October.

The timing of this rainstorm was too bad.

“Actively participate in the subsequent rescue and reconstruction work!”

Guo Yang has become accustomed to the fact that droughts and heavy rains come one after another. There is no such thing as good weather and good harvests.

Although the rainstorm was concentrated in the urban area, the damage to agriculture was also serious.

You can only cheer yourself up and start over.

Today's Jiahe, or Denong agricultural supplies supermarket, can withstand this level of loss.

After washing up, Guo Yang went to the company cafeteria to have breakfast, and then started to work.

“Bidding for residential land?”

A document caught Guo Yang's attention.

It's a pity that the location is not very "good". It is in the east of Jiuquan, which does not meet Guo Yang's ideas, so it was not approved.

A staff housing unit is already under construction in the west of the city. Guo Yang is more inclined to choose the west of Jiuquan City or the east of Jiayuguan City for the subsequent site selection.

This makes it closer to Jiahe headquarters and more convenient for commuting.

At the same time, the implementation of Gobi Gardens, riverside parks and river regulation projects has greatly improved the surrounding water environment.

The environment and quality of the residential areas here are obviously better.

There is also residential land information for several other cities, but it has not yet reached the signing and review stage.

I took a quick look at it and put it aside.

Feng Kai also sent back an interim report on his inspection in Xinjiang Province.

Urumqi and Shihezi.

These are two regions with relatively strong agricultural machinery manufacturing capabilities in Xinjiang Province.

The Urumqi region mainly uses green fodder and corn harvesting machinery, large and medium-sized tractors;
Shihezi is home to cotton pickers, water-saving irrigation equipment, seed processing machinery, and various tillage machinery;
From Feng Kai's perspective, the agricultural machinery industry in the entire Xinjiang province is not very good.

Currently, there are only two companies with sales of more than 5000 million yuan: Xinjiang Machinery Research Institute and Shihezi Guihang.

In response to Feng Kai's inspection visit, several cities and prefectures showed enthusiasm for attracting investment.

However, Pu Fei and others were not very satisfied.

Urumqi, which is the most favored city, introduced enterprises such as YTO, Lovol, and Minsk, Belarus, and offered similar policy conditions to Fengkai, which was different from expectations.

Shihezi has Guihang, which is currently the only company in China that produces self-propelled cotton pickers.

However, core components need to be imported, and other components are produced by Guizhou Aviation Industry Corporation itself. The supply chain coordination is very poor, and the annual production capacity is only dozens of units.

Shihezi, which has a certain foundation, can also be used as an alternative.

But further investigation is needed.

Aksu is the remaining region in Xinjiang Province with a relatively strong agricultural machinery industry and is Fengkai’s next key target.

In addition, I would also try my luck in places like Wusu and Kashgar.

Guo Yang thought for a moment and decided that Urumqi is undoubtedly the city with the best investment environment in Xinjiang, but it is not the only city that can be considered as such.

The formation of Xinjiang's cotton layout depends on desert oases, and there are four major cotton-growing areas.

Among them, cotton production in the Tarim Basin and the northwestern border cotton-growing areas is particularly important.

From a geographical point of view, it is necessary to build a branch factory in addition to the cotton picker manufacturing plant.

It is also good to inspect a few more points.

His eyes fell on Zepu in Kashgar on the western edge of the Tarim Basin, where Jiahe also has a 50-acre saline-alkali soybean base.

It is far away from Luojia on the eastern edge.

The busy time passed by in a flash.

……

Around 6pm.

Ding Lei appeared at Jiayuguan Airport wearing jeans, a baseball cap and a camera around his neck.

Wang Xunfang followed closely behind.

In addition, there were several members of the pig farming inspection team accompanying them.

"It's finally here!"

"If it's not too far, I really want to drive all the way here to play."

Ding Lei likes traveling and has driven to Yunnan many times. This time when he came to the northwest, he felt that the air was filled with a manic atmosphere.

"Hasn't Mr. Guo arranged everything?" Wang Xunfang said.

"Right."

Ding Lei took out his cell phone and made a call, then he looked forward and saw a familiar figure.

He pulled his wife forward.

The rest followed
"Hey, Mr. Guo, you're even darker than you were a month ago."

Guo Yang resisted the urge to stab someone and said angrily, "There's nothing I can do. The weather in the Northwest doesn't support idle people."

"Hahaha." Ding Lei smiled and then introduced the person next to him.

"My wife Wang Xunfang, and my pig farming team."

"This is Mr. Guo, the boss of Jiahe."

Wang Xunfang looked at the man. He was tall and in good shape, and it was obvious that he had been exercising for a long time. In contrast, Ding Lei had gained some weight.

Oh, it's a bit dark.

He must have been too shady. If you go out and say he is a worker moving bricks on a construction site, many people will believe him.

Wang Xunfang smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Guo, I've heard Lao Ding talking about you for a long time. I'm sorry to bother you this time."

"Don't be shy with me."

Ding Lei gave him a wise look.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the hotel first."

"What are your plans for the evening?"

"Barbecue in the Gobi Desert, camp in the sea of ​​flowers." Guo Yang looked at the camera around his neck, "Professional?"

"Not bad, I'm a little interested." Ding Lei asked curiously, "Can there be a sea of ​​flowers in the Gobi Desert?"

"You'll know soon. Take your camera with you. You'll have something to take pictures of these days."

"Ok?"

"Would you like to take a break?"

"Since you said so, why are you still taking a break? I'm not going home until I'm drunk today!"

...

When Ding Lei, Wang Xunfang and their team set out for the Gobi Desert, it was almost sunset, and the sunset was just right.

The sky was full of rosy clouds, which shone through the windows and onto people's faces, seeming to add a layer of brilliance.

"Daughter-in-law, you are so beautiful!"

Wang Xunfang smiled and rolled her eyes at Ding Lei.

Guo Yang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked straight ahead, as if he wanted to see the sunset in full bloom, but he felt a little disgusted in his heart.

"Wife, shall I take a few more beautiful photos of you later?"

"Wife, drink some water..."

It was obviously a short journey, but it caused deep hurt to Guo Yang.

I wanted Ding Lei not to go too far, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt that talking to Ding Lei would probably get me into trouble.

You know what, today's sunset is really beautiful.

back row,

Ding Lei's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

However, Wang Xunfang understood the meaning.

"Hey, the defense is broken again."

While the two were still whispering, cars suddenly drove out of the city and the scenery in front of them changed suddenly.

Wang Xunfang stared out the window in fascination.

"What's wrong, wife?"

"Turn your head and look."

Ding Lei turned around and was also surprised by the scene before him.

The vast sea buckthorn grows towards the sun, the beautiful flower fields are endless, and the rich fragrance is refreshing.

Under the blue sky, in the breeze, in the sunshine, in the fields...the vast sea of ​​ramie is in full bloom, and the pink sea of ​​flowers sways in the wind.

Just a casual glance and you can feel her intensity.

Cheers also broke out from the vehicles in front and behind.

"Mr. Guo, is this the Gobi Flower Sea you mentioned?"

"Yeah." Guo Yang raised his head.

Ding Lei felt that Mr. Guo was as proud as a little rooster at this moment.

Through the flowers and grass, you can also see the gravel unique to the Gobi Desert. Ding Lei asked: "How can you grow a sea of ​​flowers in the Gobi Desert?"

"Isn't this what you see?"

Ding Lei was still in disbelief, while Wang Xunfang's eyes were fixed on the sea of ​​flowers in the Gobi Desert under the Qilian Mountains.

The car continued along the gravel road in the Gobi Desert towards the heart of the sea of ​​flowers.

A novel and tall building complex came into Ding Lei's sight. The buildings were located in the middle of a flower sea and oasis.

"Where is that?"

Ding Lei pointed and asked.

Wang Xunfang also looked over.

The complex is very large. On one side is a traditional modern office building, while the other is somewhat unique, and it is difficult to find an adjective to describe it.

Like a big mountain?
"It feels weird."

"That's Jiahe's new headquarters. It's the weird building because there's an organic farm on the roof."

Guo Yang also looked over and saw that a lot of soil had been spread on the "field" reserved on the roof these days.

But looking from the bottom up, it is still not clear.

Guo Yang explained: "Imagine it as a terraced field. If you look down from the sky, it looks like the Chinese character 禾 (He) for Jiahe."

“It’s a cascading roof farm.”

With Guo Yang's description, the two came to their senses and looked carefully, and they really did look a bit similar.

The winding paths are like ridges of fields, and the terraces spiral up like steps, stacked layer upon layer.

If all the terraces are planted with cauliflower, fruits and vegetables, then take a look at the surrounding sea of ​​flowers.

The two were silent for a moment, the shock in their hearts was difficult to describe in words.
