Chapter 381 Ji Xiaobai

"The effect of natural enemy insects in Fujian Province was so good that the Provincial Academy of Forestry reported it to the higher authorities."

Guo Yang further explained the cause and effect.

Wu Jian, chief engineer of the Afforestation Department, was a member of the Chinese Academy of Forestry in the early 80s, but he was still an unknown figure at the time.

At that time, his leader was Xiao Gangrou, one of the first generation founders of the discipline of forestry and ecological protection in my country.

Xiao Gangrou graduated from Zhejiang University Agricultural College in 1941. He devoted his life to the research of pests and diseases, and made outstanding contributions to sawflies and swamp-legged wasps.

Under the leadership of Mr. Xiao, Wu Jian also participated in the research on the swollen-legged wasp.

The swollen-legged wasp can be said to be Wu Jian’s important early achievement.

Now that Xiao Gangrou has passed away, the development and promotion of the swollen-legged wasp has special significance for Wu Jian.

Guo Yang said: "Chief Engineer Wu said that this year is a year with a heavy incidence of forest pests, and the total area of ​​occurrence is predicted to reach 1.7 million mu.

He communicated with the department and asked Jiahe to take on more responsibilities, and natural enemy insects have great potential. "

"That's great!" Xu Xuenong said with a smile, "The more orders, the better."

"It's not just orders." Guo Yang said: "Local areas should also gradually establish breeding grounds for natural enemies of forest pests, and people will come to Jiahe's natural enemy center for inspection.

So you have to come back quickly and hand over the promotion to Yuan Wenwu. From now on, Denong Agricultural Materials will be in charge, and the Natural Enemy Center will be responsible for training. "

Xu Xuenong said, "Okay, I'll come back after the matter in Fujian Province is settled."

"Don't worry about Fujian Province's affairs. Denong will send someone here right away." Guo Yang scolded with a smile:

"You haven't realized the seriousness of this. This is a nationwide incident. I've already booked your ticket. It's a flight tonight."

Xu Xuenong was stunned. Is it that urgent?

However, it was only two days after he rushed back to the Natural Enemy Center that he was glad to have returned early.

There are so many people coming to visit and inspect.

In some places, forestry institutes even come directly with orders.

For example, in the three northeastern provinces and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, last year's warm winter provided favorable conditions for pests.

This has caused the gypsy moth to wreak havoc in these two areas, and there is even a possibility that all the trees in some areas will be eaten up.

This is an alien species with extremely strong reproductive ability. Its natural enemy is the Zhou's white moth wasp, which has a research history of more than ten years in my country.

This variety is also available at the Natural Enemies Center.

Another example is the Sichuan cypress moth, whose natural enemy is also the swamp-legged wasp, and Sichuan Agricultural University has made great achievements in the application of the swamp-legged wasp.

But if the combat power of Sichuan Agricultural University's giant swell-legged bee is 6000, then the combat power of Jiahe's swell-legged bee is at least 10000.

For example, the flower beetle in Jiahe is also the nemesis of 12 species of longhorn beetle pests.

Predatory insects such as beetles, ladybugs, and predatory mites are also very popular.

The main thing is that this thing is really not expensive.

The cost of prevention and control is only a dozen or twenty yuan per acre, which is really unfriendly.

Xiang Jinsong from the Forestry Science Institute of Shennongjia Forest District walked back and forth in the Jiahe Natural Enemy Center.

"Director Xiang, you're nodding and shaking your head. Do you like her or not?"

Xu Xuenong, who was receiving guests at the center, saw this scene and stepped forward to ask questions.

This also attracted the attention of Guo Yang who was standing by.

After the meeting about apples and Xanthoceras sorbifolia ended, before the meeting had even dispersed, Wu Jian called.

So just as the Biomass Energy Department left, the chief engineer of the Afforestation Department came.

Moreover, as the influence of "using insects to control insects" expanded in Fujian Province, more and more people became interested, so a collective activity was organized.

Guo Yang also came along to show his face.

Xiang Jinsong said: "The longhorn beetle and pine wood nematode are serious in Shennongjia, and the flower beetle and swollen-legged wasp in Jiahe are very useful.

But there are also problems that cannot be solved.”

Xu Xuenong asked: "What's the trouble?"

"Archaic pine beetle and red pine beetle." Xiang Jinsong said: "Archaic pine beetle broke out in Shennongjia two years ago.

At present, we can only cut down the infected trees and spray chemical agents for prevention and control, but it is still spreading. "

Guo Yang also came over. He didn't know what these two pests were. "Is this beetle very powerful?"

"It's very difficult."

Xiang Jinsong said: "The red balsam borer is an invasive species from North America. It was first discovered in Shanxi Province in 1998 and broke out in the Taihang Mountain area of ​​Shanxi, Hebei and Henan in 1999. In 2000, it caused the death of more than 600 million trees.

As a local species, the Armand pine borer is no less harmful.”

Guo Yang nodded. This did sound a bit tricky, but since they were an invading species from the Americans, Guo Yang's guilt for the bad things he had done was getting less and less.

They even want to cause more trouble for other countries.

After thinking for a while, Guo Yang asked again: "How many natural enemy insects of beetles have been discovered so far?"

Xiang Jinsong recalled, "There are 11 parasitic species, 3 of which are newly discovered species, but the highest parasitic rate is only about 40%.

There are probably a dozen or so predatory species.”

From Xiang Jinsong's tone, Guo Yang and Xu Xuenong knew that the local area had tried it before but without any results.

Xu Xuenong didn't know what to say for a moment. Beetles and cernua have always been difficult to deal with, and the Natural Enemies Center has no reserves in this regard.

Xiang Jinsong didn't hold out any hope either.

Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Old Xu, the Natural Enemy Center can work with Shennongjia to launch a joint project, introducing existing natural enemy resources and jointly developing and cultivating them."

"Great!" Xiang Jinsong's eyes lit up, "With Jiahe's skills, we can definitely do it!"

Most people speculate that Jiahe’s achievements in killing natural enemies of insects are due to a breakthrough in genetic technology.

It would be a good idea to establish cooperation with Golden Harvest.

Guo Yang smiled and patted Xu Xuenong on the shoulder, "Old Xu, I'll leave this matter to you. I'm at ease with you doing it."

Xu Xuenong had a strange expression on his face. He didn't know what was going on. It was as if the insects in the laboratory had suddenly mutated and each one of them became extremely fierce.

So, although he was confident in the technology of the Natural Enemy Center, he was not that confident.

This time it’s beetles again, what should we do?

He remembered that among the predatory natural enemies of bark beetles, several were beetles.

How about learning how to roar like Photon in the lab and making Scarabmon super evolve?
...

With the promotion of Fujian Province and China Forestry Bureau, Jiahe's natural enemy insects suddenly became the hottest thing in the forestry industry.

A new track has been opened up.

Compared with planes and cannons, the Bug Force is obviously more cost-effective.

In just one or two weeks, the Natural Enemy Factory stepped up its efforts and sent out Natural Enemy Suicide Squads to various locations.

As long as they arrive at the battlefield, they are brave and fearless fighters, and even pests that burrow into trees cannot escape.

They have been to Fujian Province to conquer pine caterpillars, to Tianjin to hunt down pine borers, to Guizhou Province to defeat pine beetles, and to kill longhorn beetles on willow trees in the northwest.

In the future, we will travel to the vast jungles of Zhejiang, Shandong, Beijing, Jiangsu and other places to form forest special forces.

The same scene is seen in the farmland.

Rice, corn, soybeans, apples, citrus, bananas, vegetables...

If you dare to harm forests and farmlands, the Insect Special Forces will teach you how to be a beneficial insect in your next life. In just one spring, tens of billions of insect warriors go out to fight, making pests terrified.

It also makes Yuan Wenwu and Xu Xuenong tired but happy.

The output value of natural enemy insects quickly exceeded hundreds of millions of yuan, and more than half of it was net profit.
-
In the office, the sound of typing on the keyboard was intermittent.

Guo Yang held the mouse in his right hand and flipped it back and forth, reviewing the completed manuscript, stopping from time to time to make revisions.

A month has passed, and Zhou Xiaomin, the editor-in-chief of Agricultural Economics Magazine, has urged for the manuscript several times.

However, as soon as he started writing, Guo Yang felt that there was too much he wanted to write.

In addition to bioenergy and food, there are so many things I want to express about seeds, agricultural machinery, fallow land, overseas agriculture, international competition, etc.

But time is usually tight, so I can only write intermittently. After a lot of struggle, the article still has not taken shape.

The morning was almost over, and Guo Yang, feeling a little tired, took out a soft-package beverage bag from the drawer under the table.

Gently twist open the mouth of the bag, drink it in one gulp, and you will instantly feel sober.

"Ha... Everyone says this sea buckthorn puree tastes good, but why does it still taste so sour to me?"

"You haven't tried other sea buckthorn purees, have you?" Bi Qiang walked in from outside. "Jiahe's sea buckthorn is much better."

Guo Yang stood up and stretched, "I have never drunk other sea buckthorn puree."

Bi Qiang was a little surprised. Normally, most people in the arid and semi-arid areas of the north know the taste of sea buckthorn puree.

Few people can accept sea buckthorn puree, even though it has so many benefits to the human body.

Jiahe’s sea buckthorn puree also tastes sour, but at least it’s drinkable, and it’s a real treat for people who are used to the taste of sea buckthorn.

Bi Qiang thought about it and said, "Then you must try it."

"Didn't you say it tastes terrible?"

"Yes." Bi Qiang said as a matter of course: "Only after you have tried other sea buckthorn purees, you will know how delicious Jiahe's sea buckthorn juice is."

Guo Yang touched his chin and said, "That makes sense."

Bi Qiang placed a research report on genetic breeding on the table, and a smile appeared on his face when he turned around. People who drink sea buckthorn puree for the first time will have extremely deep memories.

Although Guo Yang felt a little strange, he didn't know what Bi Qiang was thinking.

After greeting Qi Ziwen, when he was writing his article in the afternoon, the other party got some sea buckthorn juice sold on the market.

"Boss, this is sea buckthorn puree produced by a small factory on the market, and its sales are limited to a few small counties."

Guo Yang did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

I thought it was similar to Jiahe's original juice, so I took a sip without any precautions, and then my face turned a bitter color.

My stomach was churning and I kept stamping my feet.

Qi Ziwen was a little panicked.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Is this sea buckthorn puree?" The sour taste in Guo Yang's mouth had not yet subsided. It was so damn unpalatable!
Not only does it taste bad, it also smells a bit weird, almost like the smell of vomit after drinking alcohol.

In comparison, Jiahe’s sea buckthorn puree is a bit sour at best, but its color, aroma and taste are much better.

Qi Ziwen nodded, "Yes, I even consulted Dean Bi, and he said that this brand is the original sea buckthorn puree without any additives."

Guo Yang thought about what Bi Qiang said and gradually figured out what it meant.

The taste of this original puree is very different.

After thinking for a moment, Guo Yang asked, "When will Jiahe's sea buckthorn puree be launched?"

Previously, Hexi Dairy launched beverages such as alfalfa juice and carrot juice, but they have always been niche products.

Qi Ziwen said: "The product feedback of sea buckthorn puree and sea buckthorn juice beverage is very bright.

Currently, the newly established company is operating independently, and the initial plan is to promote the sea buckthorn juice brand: Ji Xiaobai in conjunction with Happy Farm.

"Oh?"

Guo Yang showed a very interested expression. The name 'Ji Xiaobai' was quite easy to remember.

Qi Ziwen obviously got into character and said, "It took more than a year from the research and development to the launch of Ji Xiaobai.

As much as half a year was spent testing the taste of the product.

But what the white spinulosa emphasizes most is its natural health care function, especially its whitening function.

It aims to emphasize the input of pure natural ingredients to build a healthy barrier inside the body that can resist external damage and self-aging, bringing healthy vitality to the body from the inside out.

Therefore, the product is positioned as high-end, and the target group is urban white-collar workers aged 28 to 40.

After evaluation, we found that the customer base and the players of Happy Farm had a high degree of overlap, so the final idea was to conduct the initial promotion through Happy Farm.”

Guo Yang nodded frequently. He did not ask about the matter from beginning to end.

The beverage and alcohol sector has also been following the trend, with many products such as alfalfa juice and carrot juice launched.

But if we really talk about breaking the circle, none of them is even close.

After listening to the planning for the Ji Xiaobai brand, Guo Yang felt that Jiahe’s management ecology had improved and this wave of planning was very targeted.

Sea buckthorn juice is a very unfamiliar product, and Sea Buckthorn is also a completely unfamiliar brand.

However, Happy Farm has developed to this day, and due to its playability and the public welfare nature of saving energy to plant big trees, the daily active user volume is still extremely terrifying.

Moreover, sea buckthorn and Haloxylon ammodendron have always been one of the most basic tree species in Happy Farm.

Almost everyone has grown it.

In the Happy Farm game, promoting the "Ji Xiaobai" juice brand from multiple angles is a perfect match made in heaven.

Qi Ziwen then introduced how to play the game.

Sea buckthorn only appears in the game as a free prop. After using the prop, the farm background changes and multiple sea buckthorn seeds are given away.

The seeds of "Ji Xiaobai" have a higher price and a faster growth period, and 5 kilograms of fruit can be squeezed into juice and sold for a higher price.

Giving juice to friends can directly gain energy, and the energy can be used to plant trees...

In the process of planting trees and squeezing juice, the popularity of the 'Ji Xiaobai' brand will continue to spread.

"not only that."

After listening to Qi Ziwen's analysis, Guo Yang gradually figured out more benefits.

“Because of the wind-proof and sand-fixing properties of sea buckthorn, many people are willing to pay for the sentiment.

Since Ji Xiaobai appears in the game as a prop, users will not feel disgusted like watching a hard advertisement.

As long as users are willing to try it for the first time, we can retain customers with its excellent taste and quality.”

The sour feeling in Guo Yang's mouth has disappeared, but he will never forget the taste of the sea buckthorn juice.

Many people know the benefits of drinking sea buckthorn juice, but are often deterred by the taste.

And Ji Xiaobai solved this pain point.

Thinking of this, he opened the Chinese prickly ash puree and drink one after another.

The original puree has better health and beauty effects and the taste is acceptable.

The drink has undergone taste testing for more than half a year and contains multiple ingredients such as sesame honey. It has a first-rate taste and also has excellent health benefits.

The positioning of Ji Xiaobai is also very clear: natural whitening.

Guo Yang is optimistic about Ji Xiaobai, focusing on urban white-collar workers, especially female white-collar workers.
