Chapter 363: The distant view of Hongqi River; the excited king
“It will take five or six years!”

Guo Yang also remembered the two stone-picking machines that had played a significant role in the past. He followed Weng Lixin to Qaidam and never came back.

"This Qaidam is too bad."

"Haha, the stone picker is really useful. They are so poor over there that they don't want to let go of the good stuff they see."

The two stone-picking machines gave Guo Yang some understanding of Qaidam, and he also had some doubts in his mind.

"Teacher, why did Qaidam Farmland Reclamation suddenly want to come to Jiahe for an inspection?"

"Maybe they want to exchange ideas on breeding and experimentation of alpine forage grasses." Weng Lixin said, "There is less farming work in Qaidam in winter, so coming out to study is the norm."

"Okay, I'll confirm the time and get back to you." Things probably aren't that simple.

After chatting with the teacher for a while, I learned that the Qaidam Farmland Reclamation is only a part of the Qinghai Province Farmland Reclamation.

Among them, Golmud Farm and Delingha Farm are relatively successful oasis agriculture, but only relatively so.

The entire Qing Province agricultural reclamation system is relatively poor, with the average annual income of employees being only 1,700 or 1,800 yuan.

Moreover, ecological damage is very serious. Even with long-term governance, the improvement is not very obvious.

The teacher's research focus in recent years has been on the restoration of meadows and grasslands in high-altitude areas.

Now that alfalfa has received attention from the country, not only has the alfalfa industry flourished, but related scholars have also benefited.

Weng Lixin is already a top boss in the industry, and he cannot escape being an academician.

Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has now calmed down and focused on the research and development, production and promotion of forage seeds, as well as the processing and trade of forage.

Business has shrunk, but profits have also come more easily.

After several years of popularization, even the most stubborn people know the benefits of growing alfalfa.

According to Weng Lixin, the Qaidam Basin is also developing the alfalfa industry.

The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and other units are even forcibly promoting the rotation of Alfalfa No. 1 on saline-alkali land and medium- and low-yield arable land to activate the land's high-yield potential.

This is also in preparation for fallow.

The Ministry of Agriculture has already released relevant information: If Jiuquan can carry out the pilot program, other regions should also carry out the pilot program.

The grain hidden in the ground was taken out in due time.

After hanging up the phone and drinking some tea, Guo Yang thought of the new achievement of Jiahe Nutrition and Health Research Institute: sunflower seed oil.

It is also a new variety bred last year.

This reminded him of the spring rapeseed in Qaidam.

The reason why Qaidam came to us at this time is probably because he has been getting more and more benefits and results and can no longer sit still.

Guo Yang stood up and walked behind the boss chair. There was a topographic map hanging on the wall.

He found the one in Qilian Mountains.

Bordering the Hexi Corridor is Haibei Prefecture in Qing Province. There is a county town in the Qilian Mountains - Qilian County.

There is a glacier in Yeniugou Township to the west of Qilian County - the Bayi Glacier, which is the source of the Heihe River, the "mother river" of the Hexi Corridor.

It is a natural barrier to maintain the ecological balance of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, maintain the stability of the Hexi Corridor oasis, and ensure the ecological security of the north.

Nearby is the Qiyi Glacier, the source of the Taolai River.

A little further south in the mountains and valleys is the source of the Shule River.

It can be said that the most important rivers in the Hexi Corridor all originate nearby.

But when you gaze at the glacier, the glacier is also staring at you.

Due to global warming, the Bayi Glacier is melting, and the melting rate has been accelerating in the past two years.

The ecology of the entire region is extremely fragile.

The construction of Qilian Mountain National Park was not approved until 2017, and today the source of rivers such as the Bayi Glacier do not receive any protection.

If the country really takes action, the situation will have deteriorated many times.

Guo Yang looked to the south again.

There are numerous rivers in Qinghai Province, including the Datong River, the Yellow River, the Jinsha River... and the Nujiang River, the Lancang River, the Yalong River, the Dadu River, and the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet, Sichuan, and Yunnan in the southwest.

Even to the Red River, Youjiang River and Beibu Gulf Port in Guangxi Province.

"Hongqi River... the seaport in the northwest, southwest, and south China."

“Whether it works or not, as long as the bioenergy industry can develop, there will always be hope.”

"It's better to get more black technology seeds!"

After sighing for a while, Guo Yang put these ideas aside for the time being. The idea about Hongqi River has not been put forward yet.

A bit whimsical.

But if we really want to open up this major artery, the only main industry support can only fall on energy.

Only energy can arouse the interest of the state apparatus. If you have the ability, create energy surplus for me!
If we really build a Red Flag River for agriculture, we might even lose our pants.

But all this requires the development of Xanthoceras sorbifolia and Jatropha curcas first, and the current varieties cannot support such a large industry.

This is true regardless of the species, or the yield and oil yield of the existing Jatropha and Xanthoceras sorbifolia.

A higher grade seed is also required.

The current 13,000 points of natural energy may seem like a lot, but it is actually still not enough.

It’s just that the current varieties can be used temporarily, and the focus should be placed on the ecological management of water sources.

Therefore, we must first overcome the difficulties in ecological governance in high-altitude and cold areas.

During last year's seed cultivation, he made some preparations in this regard: the pastures, shrubs, and trees are all ecological varieties of high-altitude areas.

However, compared with the thousands of species of animals and plants in the Qilian region, it is still very small.

Some things still require you to see them in person to know how to do them.

For example, how should glaciers be protected? Is it even possible to increase the thickness of glaciers through special ecosystems?

Or could more water be gathered along the way?

As a result, the water flow downstream increases year by year.

……

Jin Province, Datong, Zuoyun.

The coal resources here are so enviable that countless illiterate farmers have become the richest people here.

"Boss Li, have you thought about it? Do you really want me to contract a few pieces of hills to plant Xanthoceras sorbifolia?"

Yan Jia, director of the Zuoyun Agricultural Bureau who is in charge of project approval, looked surprised and said that the transformation into agriculture was not surprising.

But in today's context, it is puzzling that people still insist on establishing a Xanthoceras sorbifolia energy forest base.

This is obviously a losing business!

I heard that among the coal enterprise transformation team in the city, most coal bosses chose to withdraw from the Xanthoceras orientalis, and only Li Yongcai was as stubborn as a bull.

Li Yongcai's face was calm, "I've thought it through."

"In fact, you can also develop other agricultural industries, such as greenhouse vegetables, breeding, and fruit trees. Which one is better than growing Xanthoceras sorbifolia?"

“I’m optimistic about Xanthoceras sorbifolia.”

"Ah, I can't persuade you. I don't know what kind of magic potion Jiahe gave you. Look how bewitched you are. You are more obsessed than a vixen."

Compared with most coal bosses in the transformation group who are obsessed with beauty, he is optimistic about the Cistanche deserticola industry in Shahai.

Li Yongcai can be said to have kept himself clean. Since he learned about Jiahe's big move in Long Province, the last bit of doubt in his heart about the Xanthoceras sorbifolia project has been completely dispelled.

Among the first batch of Xanthoceras sorbifolia seedlings in Zhangye nursery, one belonged to Li Yongcai.

When Li Yongcai returned to the company, Lu Dajie and other few coal bosses who were still interested in the Xanthoceras orientalis surrounded him.

"Brother Cai, are you done?"

"Well, a total of 10 acres. The county and city will go to the relevant departments of the Ministry of Agriculture for approval, and we can get the land."

"My heart is beating, Brother Cai!"

"Eat less Cistanche deserticola. Eating too much of it will make you tired and harmful to your body. Don't let yourself fall down and not be able to get up one day."

"Bullshit, I'm just overwhelmed."

Li Yongcai looked at the few friends who were still around him and smiled.

"Stop messing around and get down to business. I need to contact Mr. Guo and ask him to keep the seedlings for me first."

...

Jiuquan.

After chatting with Li Yongcai for a while, Guo Yang was also happy for the coal boss's trust.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I'll have someone prepare the best for you."

"Okay." Li Yongcai thought for a moment and asked, "How confident are you, Mr. Guo, that this project will be a success?"

"Do you believe me when I say it will overturn the future energy landscape?"

Before Li Yongcai could answer, Guo Yang said, "Mr. Li, this decision will make you savor it in the future!"

The potential of coal bosses has not been fully tapped, and the reform and restructuring of the coal industry will take two to three years.

Only a few people are actively transforming like Li Yongcai, while most people are still waiting for the moment when the gate actually falls.

So after three or four years, when Li Yongcai, one of the first group of people who tried it, succeeds, it will surely bring about another wave of trend.

A few busy days have passed, and the annual work is coming to an end.

Guo Yang has an overall understanding of the company's development rhythm.

The base and ecological management are coming to an end, and the sales of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Fengkai Agricultural Machinery are also about to come to a halt.

However, beneath this calm lake surface, there are still people making continuous progress.

Quanwang Bio began to emerge in the second half of the year.

Thanks to changes in the production and sales of domestic soybeans and corn, the structure of the feed industry is also adjusting.

The sudden rise of Jiahe Grain and Oil and the long-term price war have allowed products such as soybean meal to quickly occupy the market.

Although it didn't make any money, Quanwang Biotechnology exploded, and its feed additives were in short supply!
As for why Guo Yang knew it so quickly.

Hexi Animal Husbandry went to him to complain.

On the coffee table, Guo Yang used a tea clip to place the tea cup in front of Qiu Jingrang.

"Old Qiu, have some tea, drink some tea, and tell me what you want to say slowly."

"We can't be slow, boss. If we are any slower, this batch of feed additives will be taken away by New Hope."

Qiu Jingrang said anxiously: "Yes, I forgot to sign the contract and place the order before. Don't you want a company? And the sales of Quanwang's additives have always been tepid. It all depends on me, Lao Bao and Qinghe Wang Kuan to support him."

"Now that we have a new sales channel, we forget about our family."

Feed additives are the core of compound feed and one of the important fields of fine chemicals.

The domestic annual output value is about 15 billion yuan, but like feed, it still maintains an ultra-fast growth rate of around %.

However, there is an oversupply of low-end additive products in China, and there are still nasty things like melamine, Sudan red, and clenbuterol.

However, high-end amino acid products mainly rely on imports, especially methionine, threonine and tryptophan, which are heavily dependent on imports.

However, the Omni-King creature took another path.

With the help of the accumulated technology in plant extraction, we focus on sub-categories such as Chinese herbal feed additives and natural plant extract feed additives (PFA).

Now it seems that the King of All has made some breakthroughs.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Jingrang realized that this matter was actually difficult for Yu Qin to handle.

On one side are our own people who have not signed a contract or placed an order; on the other side are potential big customers who have signed a contract and paid a deposit.

It's really a bit difficult to deal with. This is also an internal management issue.

Guo Yang asked: "Do Falcon and Qinghe have products in stock?"

"Yes, yes." Qiu Jingrang said quickly: "They saw the effect was good, so they started early. I am now focusing on alfalfa."

"Okay, I'll talk to Yu Qin this time and give you some." Guo Yang suddenly said in a deep voice: "But this won't happen again. The necessary internal procedures must be followed."

"Yes, if you do it again next time, I will bring your head to you!"

"Uh…why do I need your head?!"

Plant extracts have developed rapidly since the new century and have always been among the best in China.

Its applications are becoming more and more extensive, including medicine, fine chemicals, and agriculture.

Especially after the comprehensive ban of antibiotics in Europe in 2006, the application prospects of plant extracts in animal husbandry have been seen by more people.

This is the field of new feed additives, and there is no shortage of research in this area both at home and abroad.

However, there are few varieties that have significant effects, can be mass-produced and widely promoted.

After thinking for a while, Guo Yang called Yu Qin and said, "Um, Old Yu, I have something to discuss with you."

"Boss, it's scary that you speak to me so politely." Yu Qin was half joking, but he had actually expected it.

"Qiu Jingrang came to me. Can you sort out the issue of feed additives?"

"It can definitely be done, but it might offend New Hope."

"It's okay. We'll have to deal with each other sooner or later."

"?" Yu Qin figured it out a little bit, "Then there will be no problem at all."

Guo Yang asked again: "By the way, what's so special about your products that they are so popular?"

"Just a few extracts, red pepper, marigold, lily of the valley, cistanche, codonopsis, astragalus, hemp..."

A series of names came out of Yu Qin's mouth, and there were obviously a lot more types.

"By the way, boss, when will the company enter the feed industry?"

"Aren't you already in?"

"..."

Yu Qin didn't want to dwell on this, and said, "Boss, the main reason limiting product supply is the insufficient supply of raw materials."

"Except for some common Chinese herbal medicines, many Chinese herbal medicines and plants have not been cultivated artificially."

Guo Yang said: "The Xanthoceras sorbifolia base, Quanwang can participate in the development of the raw material base, and planting Chinese herbal medicines under the forest is a very good direction."

"This is connected, but it's not enough. Some plants can only be grown in the south."

"How about the southwest region?" Guo Yang thought for a moment, "Qaidam Basin and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau can also be considered."

"Of course, I'll make a fortune for the boss!"

Guo Yang listened silently to Yu Qin showing off for a while. In fact, he also wanted to hear this.

Quanwang’s feed additives are divided into two major categories: Chinese herbal medicine and PFA, which are further divided into more than a dozen subcategories.

But there are only a few that are popular.

One is the PFA additive, which is designed to improve animal intestinal health and is also the best-selling product.

The second is the alkaloids extracted from marigold and sweet lily, which mainly have the effects of expelling parasites, relieving pain, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and regulating immunity.

The third is a feed preservative using red pepper extract as raw material.

Fourth, a variety of Chinese herbal medicine products are mixed as additives and added to the daily diet, which is extremely beneficial to the health and production capacity of livestock.

There are also some other products that Guo Yang thought were pretty good.

It’s just that traditional feed additives still dominate and some banned drugs have not been eradicated.

The Omni-King creature is still an elementary school student, just like fighting monsters, he still needs to climb up level by level.

However, even so, the sales of feed additives alone have exceeded 10 billion yuan.

Quanwang completed its performance target for this year ahead of schedule.

However, the employee profit-sharing plan has evolved into a long-term effective plan, and Quanwang's potential has been released.

The employees were excited.

Because I finally see hope for a hit product!
Pesticides in the left hand, feed in the right hand.

Both of these are industries with extremely high output value.

For example, none of the four major grain traders are not involved in the feed industry.

Quanwang is Jiahe’s sharp knife, which has opened up a breakthrough in new feed additives.

……

Chengdu, New Hope Liuhe, Feed Research Institute.

"Damn, this little pig can eat and sleep at the same time."

"That's good. It means the piglets start eating early. They will eat more and grow faster, which will bring higher benefits."

"The frying pan is good, with good color, aroma and taste, and it also contains sufficient protein, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and other nutrients, which is enough for nutritional supplementation."

The research and development team headed by Feng Zhengjun felt very pleased that New Hope had its own pig farm and would sell 100 million commercial piglets a year.

Each feed product will be eaten first by the piglets in its own farm.

Only after the verification result is indeed good will we sell it to other farms and breeders.

The research institute has achieved fruitful results this year, and several products developed in succession have shown good results in feeding verification.

Feng Zhengjun thought of something, "Have you purchased the raw materials?"

Someone nearby said, "I called to ask. Corn and soybean meal have arrived, but Chinese herbal medicine and PFA additives are still a long way off."

Feng Zhengjun raised his eyebrows and said, "Hurry up and fight."

After a while, there was a reply.

"Mr. Feng, the purchasing department replied that only half of the batch of Chinese herbal medicines and PFA is available. We have to wait for the rest."

"What? What the hell! The most important thing about this product is the feed additive!"

"Without this, can piglets start eating earlier? Can it enhance immunity and stress resistance? Can it balance intestinal flora and relieve diarrhea?"

Feng Zhengjun was furious and went straight to the president's office in Rongcheng Center.

When President Li Bing learned the whole story, he was quite angry and called Yu Qin directly on the spot.

"Yu Qin, what do you mean?"

"what do you mean?"

"Feed additives, the signed supply contract is being delayed. They are not keeping their word! Did they give it to someone else?"

Yu Qin smiled bitterly, what was supposed to come finally came.

"Alas, Mr. Li, I can't do anything about it. The raw materials are insufficient. The boss has personally said that some should be allocated to internal needs. How about you ask Mr. Liu to communicate with him?"

"Do you need to ask Director Liu for such a small matter?" Li Bing snorted coldly.
"There's also a big thing." Yu Qin suddenly had an idea, "Jiahe is going to enter the feed industry. Director Liu should be interested in this!"

Li Bing was surprised, "Really?"

"Isn't the King of All here?" Yu Qin said with a smile:
"I was wrong this time. I will pay the penalty for the delay. New Hope should not be in a hurry. After all, the cost of Chinese herbal medicine and PFA additives is not low."

Li Bing looked at Feng Zhengjun. He had pressed the speakerphone button early in the morning. The latter nodded in agreement helplessly.

The other party is obviously fearless.

Li Bing pondered and said, "There's no need to pay for breach of contract. New Hope can afford to wait for a month."

"Thank you for your understanding. I will wait for at most twenty days, and I will give you the remaining half."

"Okay!" Li Bing glared at Feng Zhengjun and nodded. Damn, I shouldn't have made this call.

Yu Qin was in a good mood. The feeling of standing at the forefront of technology and looking down was indeed different.

A small new hope, easily grasped.

Just like Cargill, one of the four major grain traders, when facing finished feed companies like New Hope, it always has the confidence brought by technology.

The difference is that Cargill controls animal nutrition products such as methionine and vitamins.

And the King of All took the lead in breaking through in the new track.

In addition, although New Hope has the largest feed scale, companies such as Tongwei, Haida, Charoen Pokphand, and Da Beinong are also not small.

The most important thing is that Jiahe is coming, and OmniKing is the vanguard.

"Tremble, New Hope!"

"what…"

Turning around, he saw a beautiful figure walking in from the door, and Yu Qin's heart suddenly felt cold.

"Why don't you make any sound when you walk?"

"Am I here at the wrong time?" Li Hui smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you while you're thinking."

Yu Qin almost couldn't help rolling his eyes, "What's the matter?"

"There is a research and development project that needs your attention." Li Hui handed over a document.

"The leaves of the Xanthoceras sorbifolia in Zhangye contain a high content of anthraquinones, which have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-aging, and renal failure-delaying effects."

“The Xanthoceras sorbifolia trees in the nursery?”

"Yes!"

"It's still a young seedling, but you guys are so cruel to do that to it."

Li Hui teased, "You're making New Hope tremble. Can we not fight harder?"

"..."

Yu Qin felt that he was probably going to be screwed this time.

It will probably take only a few days for the slogan "Trembling, New Hope!" to spread throughout the group.

In New Hope,
When the feed business department learned that Jiahe intended to enter the finished feed market, they were initially nervous.

However, after a detailed analysis, we believe that this possibility is not high.

Competition in finished feed products is already fierce enough, profits are squeezed to extremely low levels, and losses are the norm.

Jiahe has Quanwang, an upstream animal nutrition supplier for feed. Wouldn’t it be nice to make some easy money?

Liu Yonghao, chairman of New Hope, believes that Jiahe is promoting Quanwang’s animal nutrition products.

Sure enough, in the next few days, there was a lot more news about natural plant feed additives on TV.

It has appeared on Longnan TV, Farmers' Daily, and even CCTV's "Weekly Quality Report" news program.

"In recent years, Quanwang Bio has conducted a lot of research on plant extracts, medicinal plants and their by-products, and has successively launched plant-based pesticides and feed additives."

“Its biopesticide products have excellent performance, are safe, highly effective and have no pesticide residues.”

"Amid the ongoing disputes over the ban and suspension of production of highly toxic pesticides, this is a shot in the arm for my country's agriculture!"

“In addition, its recently launched PFA additive has also been proven to have many functions in promoting growth, improving quality and enhancing disease resistance.”

"In fact, there are records of the use of medicinal plants in livestock and poultry breeding in my country thousands of years ago. The Shennong Herbal Classic states that "feeding pigs with tung leaves will make them three times bigger and easier to raise."

"Plant-based feed additives are safe, non-toxic and residue-free, and are in line with the development direction of a healthy and green animal husbandry industry."

At a time when highly toxic pesticides, antibiotics, fattening agents, clenbuterol, Sudan red, melamine and other products are rampant, Quanwang's biological pesticides and PFA are like a breath of fresh air.

Vegan companies are extremely angry, but some people are also flocking to them.

For Quanwang’s salesmen, if they are not excited now as the publicity is in full swing, when will they be?
Strive for performance!
Get the bonus!
Divide the house!
The king wants them all!
