Chapter 416 The most popular premium fruit

At the same time, Shen Zhijun, director of the Fruit Research Institute of the Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, was answering the phone helplessly.

"Oh, Lao Fan, the Jinxia Youpan was only approved by the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Forestry in 08. How can there be so many seedlings?"

"It's really gone. All the seedlings that can be planted have been planted, and those that can't be planted have been reserved. Now only the mother plants in the germplasm nursery are left."

“I don’t know when…”

"Okay, okay, I'll let you know as soon as I find out."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhijun looked at the people inside and outside the office who were busy answering the phone, and couldn't help feeling deeply confused.

Which link is the problem?
Although Jinxia Youpan has received attention from the industry since the interview, its seedlings have not been very popular, and it has never been as popular as it is now.

Most of the time, in order to get orchards and agricultural companies to plant the seeds, the institute had to personally send the seedlings over for promotion and then provide detailed guidance.

What about now?
Known and unknown people alike, all rushed to buy the seedlings, willing to pay a higher price!

He once suspected that it was the function of the two agricultural books "Friends of Fruit Farmers" and "Rural Encyclopedia", which are available on the library shelves of every village committee in rural areas.

But think about it, it's impossible, how many people in the countryside read books! Not eating ash is considered to be responsible for keeping it.

Shen Zhijun is the director of the Horticulture Institute of Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences and also the director of the Genetic Improvement Laboratory of the National Peach Industry Technology System.

Jinxia Youpan is the first oil peach variety in my country to obtain variety rights, and Shen Zhijun only participated in the variety breeding.

But he also has high hopes for this variety and believes that the economic benefits it can achieve will not be low.

However, there is not a single orchard with fruit in stock. Where do all these orders come from?

"Jingle Bell……"

"Come again, damn..." The well-mannered Shen Zhijun almost swore, but after hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the phone.

If nothing unexpected happens, I still have to buy seedlings.

Originally, Shen Zhijun planned to sort out the provincial and local standards in the morning, but he was annoyed by the occasional phone calls.

It was almost noon when a middle-aged woman wearing a scarf knocked on the office door.

Ma Ruijuan is the person in charge of the Jinxia Youpan breeding project. Her main research direction is high-quality peach cultivation and new variety breeding.

Shen Zhijun asked: "What's going on? Why do so many people suddenly want seedlings? I've been busy answering calls all morning."

Ma Ruijuan took off her white scarf and said, "I asked Huang Wei who came to my house some time ago. It seems that he became popular because of Huinong.com."

"Huang Wei? Is he the boss in Shanghai who resells Japanese cosmetics that Chief Jiang introduced last time?"

"It's him. Didn't I give him dozens of seedlings last time? He called me again this time, so I asked him about it."

Ma Ruijuan said: "He told me that he saw a video called "Five Acres for a Mercedes-Benz" on Huinong.com, which ranked Jinxia Youpan first among the recommended premium fruit varieties. Then he contacted us through Chief Jiang."

"Five acres in exchange for a Mercedes-Benz, that's quite a big deal." Shen Zhijun said with a smile. He knew Huinong.com, and some experts from the institute were invited to register accounts on it, but no one noticed that Jinxia Youpan was on the list.

"I want to see what magic this show has."

Ma Ruijuan also came over, and soon Shen Zhijun found the first video on the homepage of "Five Mu for a Mercedes-Benz" and clicked on it to watch.

The introduction to the fruit industry at the beginning attracted the attention of the two.

Especially the introduction about large agricultural production areas triggered their thinking.

“Varieties are our choice, production areas are our advantage, and quality products are our direction…”

Shen Zhijun murmured, "As expected of Jiahe, they have a deep understanding of the industry and the market!"

Ma Ruijuan smiled and said, "That's not entirely true. From the perspective of the general public, we still need more affordable fruits..."

"I want to exchange five acres for a Mercedes-Benz..."

"Haha, yes."

The two continued to read, and discussed for a while the definitions of top-quality varieties, fine varieties, and regular varieties.

It was not until they saw Wumuhuandaben's evaluation of Jinxiayoupan that they were stunned.

The delicacy of honey peach, the sweetness of hard peach, the aroma of yellow peach, the composite appearance of nectarine and flat peach...

Ma Ruijuan asked, "Did the institute send Jinxia oil pan to Huinong?"

"How can it be!"

"Has Huinong been to the institute?"

"There should be quite a few of them. There are several researchers and professors in the institute who are quite familiar with Huinong."

The two discussed and imagined the reasons.

"But even with this, it's not enough to become popular." Shen Zhijun wondered, "Just releasing a video can have such a strong appeal?"

"I do not know."

Shen Zhijun scrolled down the page and saw that there were more than 4,000 comments below the video. He couldn't help but read them out of curiosity.

"Ah!!! Who is this wicked guy? All the Taiqiu seedlings from Northwest Agriculture and Forestry have been sold out."

Someone replied below,

"Your reaction is too slow. I called the day Ruiyang was put on the market, and they said they had no seedlings."

"Ling Yan is truly amazing. She is soft and tender when she touches the body. She is truly the Zhao Feiyan among citrus fruits!"

Soon, Shen Zhijun and Ma Ruijuan saw the comments about Jinxia Youpan.

"Some people don't say a word, but they act really quickly. Now, let alone trying the flavor of Jinxia Youpan, it is very likely that we don't even know what it looks like, but there is no seed..."

"So does Tai Qiu."

"It can't be helped. The four premium varieties that Jiahe has already launched are so amazing!"

"Rose Honey Fragrance, Banana, Ruiyang, and Lingyan, I've tried them all, and I feel they all deserve the title of top-quality fruit!"

"Does anyone know where to buy Sunshine Rose seedlings?"

The discussions about fruits and buying seedlings continued one after another, and Shen Zhijun and Ma Ruijuan were already dumbfounded.

"It's really... unheard of!"

“The impact is horrible.”

Shen Zhijun asked: "Have you ever eaten those four premium fruits from Jiahe?"

Ma Ruijuan shook her head, "No."

At this time, a few people walked by the door and shouted, "Director, Sister Ma, what are you talking about? Let's go eat."

"You go first." Shen Zhijun hurriedly asked, "By the way, Xiao Cai, do you know Jiahe's top-quality fruits?"

Xiao Cai thought about it and said doubtfully: "Is it Ruiyang? It's too expensive, I didn't buy it."

“Where can I buy it?”

"Wei Lai Field will do."

Shen Zhijun immediately switched to the Weilai field, scanned quickly and found Ruiyang's location, but was stunned again.

"sold out!"

I found Lingyan again, but it was also sold out.

sold out!

sold out!

All four varieties are sold out!

Shen Zhijun was numb.

Ma Ruijuan didn't expect this result.

Xiao Cai and others who came in to see what was going on gradually understood the reason and were all a little bit unbelievable.

It can still be like this!
Xiao Cai gave a suggestion, "Director, use your connections and try this premium fruit to see if it lives up to its reputation!"

Ma Ruijuan: "Jinxia Youpan was also ranked on the list of Wumu for Daben, and it is still the first."

"..."

"Then this list of top-quality varieties should still be of some standard." Xiao Cai's attitude immediately changed a little, and he said, "But we still have to give it a try."

Shen Zhijun nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I'll contact Professor Ma Fengwang."

Yangling, Shaanxi Province.

Professor Yang Yong of Northwest A&F University also faced the same distress, but the difference was that he directly contacted Bi Qiang of Tianhe Science Research Institute.

"Dean Bi, your promotion method is not acceptable. Before Taiqiu's problem is solved, ordinary people won't be able to grow it."

Bi Qiang had received many similar calls and had already figured out the situation clearly.

"Professor Yang, haven't you always wanted to promote Taiqiu? The more people there are, the greater the power will be. We can always find some ways. Didn't someone in Pingle, Guangxi Province successfully transplant wild persimmons using them as rootstocks?"

"Oh, if only it were that simple." Professor Yang sighed, "Forget it, there really is no seedlings now. It's hard to refuse someone who came to ask for it. But I'm afraid that by then the pressure of exchanging five acres for a Mercedes-Benz will be too great!"

Bi Qiang smiled and said, "The risks have been made clear. If you insist on trying and fail, there is nothing we can do."

"Okay, okay."

In fact, Yang Yong also hopes that there will be more talented people in China to promote Taiqiu.

Persimmons are native to East Asia. There are more than a thousand varieties of persimmons in the world, and there are more than seven hundred varieties of persimmons in the National Persimmon Germplasm Resource Garden in Yangling.

Many persimmon varieties that are unheard of in the outside world can be found here.

Yang Yong also tasted countless persimmons.

Even so, he agreed that Wumuhuan Daben listed Taiqiu as a top-quality variety. This is a top-quality variety covered with persimmon skin, which completely subverts the original taste of persimmon.

“If you don’t like persimmons, you haven’t tasted Taiqiu.” This was said by Liao Guiquan, a Taiqiu grower in Pingle, Guangxi Province.

However, the problem with Taiqiu is also obvious. The survival rate of transplantation is so low that it makes people sigh.

If the rootstock and scion are not compatible, they will die after planting, and the survived ones will not grow well.

If this problem is not solved, Taiqiu’s large-scale promotion will always be just empty talk.

Pingle, Guangxi Province.

On a mountain, Liao Guiquan was observing the growth of Taiqiu saplings.

He introduced Taiqiu from Professor Yang Yong in 2003, but he soon found that the Taiqiu variety would abandon him at any time.

After grafting, it grows well in the first year, bears a few fruits in the second year, and becomes weak or dies in the third year.

He knew it was a problem with the rootstock.

Liao Guiquan set his sights on the wild persimmon resources on the mountain. He took a piece of land to plant wild persimmons, and after some hard work, he found a total of seven wild persimmon varieties.

He selected out the one with the highest affinity to Taiqiu.

So far, he feels that this rootstock is okay. Although the joints are not very smooth and have some cracks, the joining strength is much stronger than most rootstocks.

He also knew another method. The Fujian Provincial Planting Technology Promotion Station could solve the affinity problem through high grafting.

The base stock is 'Junqianzi', the middle stock is some astringent or sweet persimmon, and then 'Taiqiu' is grafted on. But even so, there are still many problems.

Neither approach would allow Taiqiu to achieve large-scale promotion.

In terms of comprehensive characteristics, Taiqiu is far inferior to Yangfeng sweet persimmon, but in terms of taste, Taiqiu is definitely superior.

He also watched the video of Wumu exchanging for a Mercedes-Benz, and his contact information was left on it, so he was also worried and happy during this period.

I am afraid that people will fall into the trap, but I also hope that more people will join in.

But he was very curious, could Jiahe solve Taiqiu’s problem?
If not, exchanging five acres for the terrifying dominance currently demonstrated by Mercedes-Benz, there will be something interesting to watch later.

"Five acres for a Mercedes-Benz, this will only kill a bunch of people!"

In the evening, facing Professor Ma Fengwang's criticism, Guo Yang replied bluntly: "Don't keep staring at beautiful women's breasts!"

"You...what do you mean?" Ma Fengwang couldn't stand this description.

Guo Yang smiled and said, "The description of five acres for a Mercedes-Benz is objective, and it talks about both advantages and disadvantages. If some users only see the advantages and benefits, but fail to see the risks and difficulties mentioned, it's like a man staring at a woman's chest, ignoring the dangerous environment around him, and finally becoming a playboy who dies under the pomegranate skirt.

Blame it?

We are not encouraging you to grow the ultimate variety.”

Ma Fengwang was silent. He had also watched the video of exchanging five acres for a Mercedes-Benz, and the advantages and disadvantages were clearly stated in the video.

Not to mention the best varieties, even for the finest varieties, if you want to be profitable, you need the necessary technology and investment.

Guo Yang added: "Don't worry, Professor Ma, the first person who dares to try it must be someone in the industry, and most of them have some technical foundation."

At least, many technical service personnel who came out of Jiahe can achieve success.

He also read the comments under the video.

Someone left a message saying, "There's nothing good to grow right now, so let's take a gamble." Then another person added, "Farmers are really suffering and helpless!"

It is really dangerous to grow top-quality varieties with this mentality! Very dangerous! Very dangerous!

It's like a poor person who takes the little capital he has left and goes to the casino to take a gamble.

There are quite a few people like this.

Xiang Tianshan once asked him how to respond to such a situation. He couldn't just say that nine out of ten times you'd lose.

After finishing the call with Professor Ma, Guo Yang sat in front of the computer and began to think.

During the day he had discussed it with his second brother, third sister and sixth brother, and the three of them agreed to his proposal. After returning, they would each contract a piece of desert.

Guo Yang paid for all the money, and the three families only needed to do their work, which could be said to be a sure win.

However, Guo Yang also gave a deadline, which was a maximum support period of five years, after which he would no longer be involved.

After sitting down and thinking for a while, Guo Yang slowly tapped on the keyboard: Which type of growers are suitable for growing spiritual flames?

He gave an example.

"Those who want to grow spiritual flames should not grow them. Those who want to grow spiritual flames for the sake of growing good citrus fruits can grow them."

Lingyan and Ruiyang can be said to be the most popular agricultural products on Huinong.com and Weilai Field in the past two days, and even many people on Weibo have started posting pictures to show off.

As a result, the rose honey-scented dragon fruit and banana varieties became famous, and most of these two varieties were sold through Jiahe Supermarket.

The retail price of each of these four varieties is more than ten yuan.

After the first phase of the five-acre exchange for a Benz, Ruiyang and Rose Mixiang became popular and their prices continued to rise.

Experienced growers are not stupid, or in other words, those who invest in agriculture do the math very well from the beginning.

The yield, the price, how many years it will take to recover the investment, and how much profit per acre...all are calculated clearly.

Rose Honey Fragrance is a variety that matures continuously. In Guangxi Province, the fruit can be picked from April to November. It was sold to Jiahe Supermarket together with bananas before Wumu was exchanged for a Mercedes-Benz. It's hard to calculate the cost.

But Ruiyang is right under the eyes of many people, and it is clear with just a calculation.

The wholesale price for overseas distributors such as Changjin Fruit Industry is 8 yuan, and the retail price at Weilai's field is 12 yuan. The yield per mu is 2000 jin, and the income per mu is 1.6 to 2.4 yuan.

The benefits are extremely explosive.

Because the Ruiyang, Rose Mixiang, Banana and other varieties are so popular, when Lingyan was launched on the market, Zhou Shu of the Sichuan Citrus Base deliberately set a "sky-high price" of 28 yuan.

On the 3000-acre base, each plant initially bore only 10 kilograms of fruit, totaling about 165 million kilograms.

However, in less than two days, they were all sold out, with revenue exceeding 4600 million yuan and an average income of more than 1.5 yuan per mu, which is terrifying!
In the first year, not only did we recover all the costs, but we also made a profit of three to four thousand yuan per mu.

What about next year?

What about the year after next?
Ten thousand yuan per acre is not a dream!

It’s possible to exchange five acres for a Mercedes-Benz!
Guo Yang's thoughts were wandering and the sound of the keyboard continued.

"Ordinary people who always dream of selling for billions of yuan per kilogram, earning 100,000 yuan per mu, or even 50,000 yuan at half price, should not get too excited, because the reality will be very bleak.

It's not worth it to look at a beautiful woman's breasts and regret it for the rest of your life!

For Jiahe, it doesn’t make much sense to discuss whether Lingyan is a good variety.

Consumers like its sweetness, growers like its high yield and non-cracking fruit, and distributors like its transportation resistance and shelf life.

A variety that is loved by all three must be a variety with strong market competitiveness, and can even be called a groundbreaking variety.

Some may think I'm bragging or that I'm exaggerating again, but it's the truth.

However, even so, not many people dare to try to grow spiritual flames for the first time, because many people are worried about losing money.

This is even less worth discussing. Like all good stocks, there will definitely be people who make money and people who lose money.

Of course, Lingyan will also, like tangerines and navel oranges, eventually calm down, become popular among the general public, and become a fruit that is loved by consumers.

A good variety alone is far from enough, so five acres for a Mercedes-Benz gives growers enough choices..."

Guo Yang finished this lengthy article in just over half an hour.

Even though there were many imperfections, Guo Yang did not make any changes, but sent it directly to Xiang Tianshan.

Xiang Tianshan is much better at writing than him.

In fact, he felt that Lingyan’s popularity was a bit sudden, but at the same time, it was not particularly surprising.

Lingyan's comprehensive capabilities are indeed powerful.

After finishing his work, Guo Yang washed up and went to bed. This time he slept through the whole night and felt relaxed all over.

When he walked out of the room, he found that the whole family was already up and waiting for him.

Today I agreed to take my second brother and others to inspect the results of agriculture, animal husbandry, sand control and tree planting in the desert, and also to give them some reassurance.

Guo Yang looked at Guo Shan: "Brother, do you want to go together?"

Guo Shan's back is a little hunched, but he is in great spirits. I even played a few games of chess with him yesterday afternoon.

He also learned to play chess from the old men in the community.

"No, I have an appointment with Lao Li to drink tea and play chess today, you can take them with you."

"That's fine."

Guo Yao, Guo Lan and Guo Rong all watched all this with envy, but there was nothing much to say.

Guo Shan and Guo Yang are said to be brothers, but in fact they are more like father and son. After their parents passed away, Guo Yang lived with Guo Shan.

After breakfast, Luo Xiu drove the car, Guo Yang sat on the passenger seat, and the other three sat in the back seat. The five people in the car drove downstream.

The water supply channel from Hongyashan Reservoir to the downstream is connected to Qingtu Lake.

Even in the bleak winter, you can see spots of green on both sides of the river, which are Alfalfa No. 1 mixed in.

After driving along the straight channel for a while, the view ahead was suddenly filled with green alfalfa.

In the center of this green area is a factory. When the car slowed down, everyone could hear the heart-wrenching squeals of pigs coming from the factory.

"This factory is slaughtering pigs for the New Year." said Guo Lan in the back row.

The car continued to move forward, and a group of black pigs appeared on the alfalfa meadow behind the factory. Perhaps they heard the screams of their own kind, and they were running around in a restless manner.

Guo Rong also laughed and said, "We still grow grass to raise pigs, and we raise black pigs. These pigs are ecologically friendly, and the meat must be delicious."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "Brothers and sisters, please bring some back this time."

Guo Rong was surprised, "Brother, this is not also Jiahe's property, right?"

"That should be it." Guo Yang said, "Jiahe also has a pig farm in the desert, I wonder if it's this one."

"Then we won't be polite!" Guo Rong said with a smile, obviously greedy, "This kind of black pig is rare nowadays."

Guo Yang introduced: "This is a black mountain pig with purple alfalfa, which is a cross between wild boar and domestic pig. Nutritionists strictly select the ingredients and feed the black pig according to the golden ratio of nutrition. They eat purple alfalfa and Chinese medicinal materials and drink mineral water.

There are composers who play light music to soothe the black pigs according to the different daily situations;
A physiotherapist will formulate a scientific fitness plan and raise black pigs at a fixed time and quantity every day.

This kind of black mountain pig does not require any seasoning when cooking, just add a little salt when it is out of the pot. The meat is tender and delicious. "

Guo Yao, Guo Lan and Guo Rong did not expect that there was not only a big gap between people, but there might even be a gap between people and pigs.

The atmosphere in the car was a little depressing for a moment.

Guo Yang didn't know how to start. From the few memories of his original body, he only knew that his elder brother and sister-in-law were good to him.

When his other brothers and sisters were young, they would only snatch food from him and bully him a lot, but they consciously accepted that they were his blood relatives.

Through the rearview mirror, Guo Yang saw that Guo Yao and Guo Lan were sleeping with their eyes closed, only Guo Rong was staring out the window.

It seems that among the three, Guo Rong has the greatest hope of success!

As for the other two, Guo Yao spends money lavishly, while Guo Lan is more stingy and scheming. This money may be a waste of money, but it will only happen this time.

Guo Yang considered himself to be a very utilitarian person, just like when he helped the three people this time, he also had other intentions.

Wuhai, Dengkou and Baotou are not only located on the banks of the Yellow River, but are also close to the Ulan Buh and Kubuqi Deserts.

If it is appropriate in the future, this place may become Jiahe's ecological governance project.

This time it is like a test. He will only be willing to help those who are willing to pay.

At this time, Guo Rong asked: "Brother, is this coming?"

Guo Yang came to his senses and saw a majestic expanse of withered yellow coming towards him in the distance.
