Chapter 426: Falcon Town; Beets and Sugarcane
Xu Xiaoxue walked down with her long legs. Guo Yang didn't expect that Luo Chuan and Xu Xiaoxue knew each other and grew up in the same compound when they were young.
Luo Chuan was now completely helpless. He didn't even dare to ask. His girlfriend was quite familiar with Xu Xiaoxue. If she went back and said something she shouldn't, he would be the one to suffer.
After the introduction, Guo Yang also got to know Qian Yunzhao. The UP host "Thin as a Dried Fish" is quite famous on Huinong.com, and he has also watched his videos.
Especially since the waste cooking oil recycling industry chain has lost its soil for survival, he also silently gave a thumbs up and became a handsome, low-key and profound person.
Some things cannot be told to outsiders, but understanding the significance of this work to people's livelihood from the side also makes him feel good.
Therefore, he had a good impression of Qian Yunzhao.
After sitting down and chatting for a few words, Qian Yunzhao found out Guo Yang's identity. He was so surprised that he almost dropped the roasted camel meat in his mouth.
"You must be dreaming. I'm sitting with the chairman of Jiahe and eating barbecue."
When he was sure that all this was true, Qian Yunzhao resumed his journalistic nature, and asked for an interview and stated the purpose of his visit.
"There's no need for an interview. We can chat while eating barbecue. You can ask whatever you want to ask. I will tell you what I can tell you, and I will ask someone to provide you with some information later. But you have to promise to create more content on Huinong.com in the future."
Guo Yang readily agreed. In fact, one of Bao Xinyu's busy tasks these past two days was preparing press releases.
Huhewenduergacha is too remote, and many large TV stations will not come, so Falcon needs to take the initiative to provide some information to the relevant departments.
There is nothing wrong with giving Qian Yunzhao.
Qian Yunzhao stopped eating the barbecue and took out a notebook, asking questions and taking notes. He asked for some video footage of the grassland before and after management, and Guo Yang agreed.
After the completion of Falcon Town, these video materials will also be used for publicity, so now we can regard it as a warm-up in advance.
Xu Xiaoxue and Luo Chuan were eating meat on the side, their eyes occasionally swept across Guo Yang's face, with indescribable complexity in their hearts.
Luo Chuan didn't look away. He knew something about Guo Yang and was also old acquaintance with Xu Xiaoxue, so he didn't know what to say. He just concentrated on eating the meat, as if the red camel meat was really a delicious delicacy.
After a while, Bao Xinyu and others also arrived in six or seven cars. Suddenly, there were more than twenty people, and the place became much more lively.
Guo Yang also took the initiative to end the conversation. Qian Yunzhao felt a little unsatisfied, but being able to obtain first-hand information about the big boss of Jiahe already put him far ahead.
A Gobi red camel weighs several hundred kilograms, and it is also served with some other meat. Even if dozens of people came and everyone was full, they still couldn't finish it.
The next day, Luochuan led his men to withdraw completely. Before leaving, he teased Guo Yang a few words.
Guo Yang naturally knew what he wanted to say.
After he saw Luochuan off, he also found Xu Xiaoxue who was having breakfast in the Falcon Agriculture Canteen. Qian Yunzhao was also there, and they both lived in tents.
"Reporter Xu, what do you want to do in Urad? I have something else to do and I have to leave. If you tell me now, I can help you arrange it."
"You're leaving now?" Xu Xiaoxue was surprised, a flash of disappointment flashed across her eyes, and she said, "I want to experience falconry, can Boss Guo arrange it for me?"
"Of course, I'll arrange it for you later." Guo Yang smiled and looked at Qian Yunzhao, "Reporter Qian, do you want to go and experience it together?"
"Is this okay?" Qian Yunzhao was somewhat tempted and said, "This is allowed by the country, right? There have been many smuggling and poaching cases in recent years."
"Of course you can. The purpose of establishing the Falcon Town in Jiahe is to standardize falconry management, train falcons according to the law, and then improve the artificial training and rescue and treatment technology of birds of prey, focus on overcoming the technical difficulties of artificial training, and reduce the need to capture wild populations.
Falcon hunting experience and competitions will also be one of the businesses of Falcon Town in the future, and they will also need the power of online publicity.”
Guo Yang explained it in detail.
China does not yet have mature technology for artificial breeding of birds of prey, so it is impossible to achieve healthy and sustainable utilization of falcon resources.
The rampant illegal poaching in the country has posed a serious threat to the wild resources of birds of prey such as golden eagles, buzzards, peregrine falcons, and goshawks.
So what Falcon Agriculture wants to do makes a lot of sense.
After several years of exploration and summary, the falcon's method of attracting hawks and killing rats has achieved good results, and the silver-black fox wild domestication base has also successfully released more than a dozen of them.
A fox can keep the number of mice in 2 acres of grassland low. Within the same range, the presence of an eagle can make it impossible for mice to escape from their holes and never return.
These achievements also aroused Qian Yunzhao's curiosity, so he decided to experience falconry with Xu Xiaoxue.
This is also what Guo Yang expected.
It would be more appropriate for the official media to report on the collusion within the Pakistan League and the threat to Jiahe to build a biodiesel refinery.
Wouldn't it be better for local tabloids and internet bloggers like Qian Yunzhao to promote things that are popular among the people?
Next, with the assistance of Scarface and others, the two not only experienced falconry and horse riding, but also truly felt the grassland scenery and took various shocking eagle hunting scenes.
The day after Guo Yang left, Xu Xiaoxue also left Houqi and returned to the Hetao area.
Only Qian Wenzhao was happy and didn't want to leave.
He had forgotten that he came here for the biodiesel refinery, and instead became more interested in falconry culture.
The tacit understanding between humans, eagles and hunting dogs during falconry, releasing the eagles after training, allowing the eagles to reproduce...all these experiences have brought Qian Yunzhao more gains.
Behind the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, what is important is to adapt to nature, protect mountains and forests, and protect the ecological environment.
He played during the day and was not idle at night. He uploaded his works to the Huinong website for several days in a row. The unit called him several times to urge him to finish, but he evaded the call.
He has decided to resign.
In the past few days, his fans have been excited, praising him for being as productive as a sow. His popularity has been rising rapidly. Not only has his income from creative works on the platform been increasing, he has also received several advertisements. The income from one advertisement is far more than a month's salary.
He can travel around the country while making money, and has many fans praising his work. This experience is much more interesting than going to work.
Falcon Agriculture's management of 600,000 acres of degraded grassland is just another classic ecological management case in Jiahe. It has attracted considerable attention in society, and has been widely recognized by the public and academia, and has even attracted foreign attention to domestic degraded grassland management technology.
Yu Xiaochuan, who is in the Middle East, occasionally says that there are rich people in the Middle East who are very interested in large birds of prey, and he will definitely come to the Falcon Town to play if he has the chance.
As the general manager of Falcon Agriculture, Bao Xinyu has been in high spirits and proud of himself recently. He reports on his work in the work group from time to time.
Today I’ll post the construction progress of Falcon Town, and tomorrow I’ll post where an inspection team will come from... Always show your presence.
Others could understand it too. After all, Lao Bao had been feeling very frustrated in the past few years. His boss had been fooling Lao Bao for several years with his words "I'll definitely do it next time". He finally went there once, but ended up with trouble.
Now it can be considered a blessing in disguise.
However, more local governments and enterprises are more concerned about the characterization of this incident.
After a delay of several days, the relevant departments finally issued a complete report on the cause and consequences of the incident. Tian Shaohua, Xi Xingzhi, Ren Yiqing and many other relevant personnel were dismissed, demoted or given disciplinary warnings.
Within the system, senior officials have also issued important instructions, and relevant departments will formulate a series of policies and management norms to encourage the development of the energy forest industry.
As spring ploughing is approaching, bioenergy forest projects that have been launched across the country have accelerated their progress.
In addition to local government organizations, various industrial and commercial capitals have also poured into this industry, creating a boom.
...
Guo Yang originally wanted to stay in Urad for a longer time, but he knew very well why Luo Chuan and others showed up this time.
The energy and forestry industries may be of great importance to senior leaders, but it is definitely not a matter for which the military would be required.
The real reason is probably that his ideas about southern Tibet impressed the top leaders, or in other words, causing chaos in India is the top leaders' deeper strategic purpose.
To this end, the leaders gave the greatest support within their limits.
Although Guo Yang had learned from Luo Chuan that there were no bullets in the automatic rifles held by those soldiers, the goal was achieved.
And now, the pressure has shifted to him.
If he couldn't cause trouble in Asan, he couldn't imagine what Jiahe would face. Maybe it would never recover, or maybe nothing would happen. But did he dare to take the gamble?
This is equivalent to putting a knife to his neck.
After figuring this out, Guo Yang did not dare to delay for a moment and began to prepare a big gift for Asan.
Without much time to investigate, he directly set his sights on cotton and sugarcane. These two crops were enough to make Ah San rich.
On the plane, Guo Yang was calculating the remaining natural energy.
Only one month has passed since the last time I cultivated seeds, and with the remaining few hundred points, I now have a total of 2234 energy points.
In addition to cotton and sugarcane for India, the seeds that need to be cultivated also include sugarcane and sugar beets for the domestic sugar industry layout.
There are 4 varieties in total.
Normally, the energy is sufficient.
But according to the nature of seed stores, the natural energy required for destructive seeds is multiplied many times.
For example, this is the case with several varieties bred in the United States.
The two varieties prepared for Ah San this time can only be more destructive, and the time cannot be too long, preferably within two to three years to take effect.
Guo Yang estimated that the natural energy required for one variety is at least two thousand points.
The current 2234 points of energy are only enough to cultivate one variety.
But it’s not a big problem. Just wait two more months. It will also take time for Tianhe Seeds to enter India’s seed market.
The plane landed in Urumqi, Xinjiang Province.
After coming out of the airport, Guo Yang boarded the business car that was sent by Guoliang Tunhe to greet him. Also coming to greet him was Tunhe's deputy general manager Zou Xiaoqian.
After the greetings, the group drove to Changji, 30 kilometers west of Urumqi, which is the headquarters of Tunhe Company.
"Mr. Guo, I heard that you are coming to personally inspect Tunhe's sugar beet varieties. The Seed Research Institute has already made preparations. How about welcoming you today and then inspecting tomorrow?"
Guo Yang smiled and said, "It's still early, why don't we go check out the beet varieties first?"
Zou Xiaoqian said awkwardly: "This...Our CEO Qin is already waiting at the hotel with several colleagues."
"I don't dare to go now." Guo Yang said with a wry smile: "Mr. Qin wants to get me drunk."
"Jiahe has helped Tunhe a lot in the past few months. Mr. Qin wants to thank Mr. Guo."
"It's a win-win cooperation. Let's do it tomorrow, Mr. Zou. I will definitely have a good drink with you guys tomorrow. Let's get down to business today."
Guo Yang had experienced the drinking culture in Xinjiang Province. As long as the wine was on the table, it was indispensable. Guo Yang talked to the general manager of Tunhe Company, Qin Yelong, on the phone. He was very enthusiastic during the call and his words were full of praise for Jiahe.
This is all thanks to Weilai Tianjian. After the Double Eleven promotion, Tunhe canned tomatoes also made a breakthrough in the domestic retail market.
It also changed many people's views on canned tomatoes and released more market potential.
This promoted further cooperation between the two sides.
He and Luo Xiu came first today, and Bi Qiang and others will not arrive until tomorrow. This person is outnumbered and with this factor in mind, he is just serving food when he sits at the table.
So, Guo Yang planned to cheat and escape.
In order not to put Zou Xiaoqian in a difficult position, Guo Yang called Qin Yelong to explain the situation, and then let Zou Xiaoqian take him with him.
It is indeed still early now, not even five o'clock. The sun sets in Changji around eight o'clock in March.
In just a short while, Guo Yang arrived at the Tunhe Seed Research Institute.
Not long after they arrived, Qin Yelong also came with a few people.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"Mr. Guo, you've caused me so much trouble. I've prepared the wine and food, and I'm waiting to thank you properly."
Guo Yang said: "Boss Qin, the more you say this, the more scared I am."
"Hahaha, I'm just too impatient. It's not too late to have dinner after work, right, Mr. Guo?"
"Let's get busy first, and then we'll talk about it formally." Guo Yang said with a smile: "Boss Qin, what kind of beets are these?"
"Hey, look at me, Lao Zhang. Come here, let Mr. Guo introduce you. This is Zhang Faping, the director of the Tunhe Seed Research Institute. Lao Zhang is in charge of the introduction of sugar beet varieties to Tunhe."
Guo Yang and Zhang Faping exchanged greetings, but Zhang Faping's attitude towards him was a little cold and he just nodded indifferently.
Guo Yang didn't take it seriously at first.
The main reason why he came to Tunhe was for Tunhe's beet and sugarcane germplasm resources.
Tunhe is one of the largest sugar beet planting and sugar-making enterprises in the country, but the sugar beet varieties in Xinjiang Province have seriously degraded in recent years.
In the 70s, the sugar content of sugar beets in Xinjiang Province was 17.5%. It dropped to 80% in the 16.5s and to 90% in the 15.5s. In recent years, the average sugar content of sugar beets in the whole region has been only 14.2%.
Almost every few years, the sugar content of sugar beets in Xinjiang Province is decreasing.
The reason is the same as that of domestic sugarcane, that is, the seeds are degenerating and the research and development of new varieties has not kept up.
Therefore, in order to change this situation, starting three years ago, Tunhe has introduced nearly 100 sugar beet varieties from home and abroad every year, and conducted variety comparison tests in Changji and other places to screen varieties.
In three years, the entire Tunhe Company has accumulated five to six hundred varieties of beets.
In addition, in Guoliang’s strategic layout, Guoliang Tunhe is the main body of the sugar industry.
In addition to sugar beets, Tunhe has also acquired and integrated sugarcane enterprises in Guangxi Province, and also has many sugarcane varieties under its name.
This is also the reason why Guo Yang came to Changji. Tunhe, which has a good relationship with Jiahe, has done the preliminary introduction and screening of varieties, so there is no need for Tianhe Academy of Sciences to repeat it.
However, during the conversation, Guo Yang gradually felt Zhang Faping's resentment.
Especially when he learned that Tianhe’s purpose of introducing new species was also for beet breeding, his face turned even more gloomy.
"What does Tianhe mean by this? Are you looking down on the Tunhe Seed Research Institute?"
Guo Yang hesitated for a moment, "Well, that's not the intention at all. Tianhe also wants to make a contribution to the domestic sugar beet industry."
"Haha, does Tianhe still want to sell the beet seeds he cultivated to Tunhe?"
"If there are better varieties of beets, it will be good for Tunhe!"
Zhang Faping sneered, "So Mr. Guo thinks Tianhe can catch up and surpass Tunhe's efforts in sugar beet breeding?"
"Well... after three years, the first-mover advantage is not particularly obvious." Guo Yang paused and continued.
"Humph." Zhang Faping snorted coldly, "Tianhe is so arrogant!"
"Old Zhang, how can you talk like that? Mr. Guo means well. The domestic sugar industry is already under great pressure right now. It's always good to have a little more strength." Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Yelong hurried out to persuade him.
Qin Yelong knew very well the purpose of Guo Yang's visit, but he did not tell the Seed Research Institute. His purpose was naturally to provoke Zhang Faping and others.
Over the past three years, the company has invested a lot of money in breeding.
However, after conducting comparative analyses on five or six hundred sugar beet varieties, only usable improved varieties were preliminarily screened out.
As for the new beet varieties, there are no signs of them yet.
Just as Jiahe revealed its intention to engage in sugar beet breeding, Qin Yelong wanted to give Zhang Faping and others a warning. Their get off work-off time is even more punctual than the alarm clock. Does this look like research?
As for whether it would help the enemy, Qin Yelong was even less worried.
The domestic canteen industry structure has been determined. As a subsidiary of a central enterprise, Tunhe also has inherent advantages in terms of imported sugar quotas.
It is basically impossible for Jiahe to enter the downstream sugar industry.
Moreover, if Jiahe does not introduce new species from Tunhe, it can naturally find other channels for introduction.
Therefore, he had no psychological burden in introducing Golden Harvest.
After a while, Guo Yang came to his senses. Qin Yelong was really scheming. Was this how he thanked Jiahe?
There would be no benefit for him to come into conflict with Zhang Faping, and he was still counting on his cooperation in introducing new species.
Moreover, the introduction and comparative testing of five to six hundred varieties over three years is not a small workload.
After thinking for a while, Guo Yang asked, "Director Zhang, are you trying to cultivate a large variety of sugar beets?"
"No, universal varieties have a wide range of adaptability, but in many cases they are not efficient and are outdated." Although Zhang Faping was resentful, he still answered.
Guo Yang said: "What is needed is a variety of sugar beet that is specifically targeted at a certain environmental condition or target. Director Zhang, how many such specific varieties do you think are needed to meet the needs of Tunhe, and how many are needed nationwide?"
"This... this, naturally, the more the better."
“So, why does Director Zhang think that Tianhe is looking down on the institute by providing beet seeds to Tunhe? Speaking of which, Tunhe should use Tianhe’s processed tomato seeds this year!”
Guo Yang's continuous questioning made Zhang Faping blush. He admitted that he was a little overwhelmed, but Tianhe's behavior did make him unhappy.
Qin Yelong came out to help, "That's true, Mr. Guo. This year, one-third of the tomato planting bases in Tunhe will use Tianhe seeds."
Guo Yang smiled and said, "I still say that Tianhe and Tunhe have a mutually beneficial relationship. Tianhe earns money from seeds, while Tunhe earns money from planting and processing."
"That's right." Qin Yelong also smiled. Tianhe and Weilai fields have already made Tunhe taste the sweetness.
"Mr. Zhang, stop dawdling and introduce the institute's achievements over the past three years to Mr. Guo."
The basic quality of the Tunhe Seed Research Institute is still very high. The data in the experimental fields and laboratories are very complete, and some breeding theories are more in line with reality.
"Seedling protection is the basic guarantee for yield, so strong buds are an important indicator for my company to select varieties."
"Root cluster disease has occurred everywhere. The disease will significantly reduce the sugar content and yield of sugar beets..."
"The incidence of diseases varies greatly under different soil and climatic conditions, so the resistance shortcomings of varieties are also worthy of attention."
"Our goal is to develop varieties with outstanding drought resistance, salt-alkali resistance, more specific disease and insect resistance, and stronger bolting resistance."
"In addition, after planting high-quality varieties, we must also carry out integrated demonstration and promotion of supporting cultivation techniques..."
After spending several hours at the Seed Research Institute, Guo Yang gained a lot.
The gain was not only from listening to Zhang Faping's introduction, but more from his use of the seed store to quickly go through the sugar beet varieties in Tunhe.
What was done in a few hours far exceeded what the Seed Research Institute could do in several years, and it was done more perfectly.
The basic raw materials for sugar production are sugarcane and sugar beets, one grows in tropical and subtropical regions, and the other grows in temperate zones.
However, in my country, the domestic sugar industry has long been restricted by problems such as small-scale planting of farmers, low levels of mechanization and automation, and seed degradation, resulting in high costs in all links of the industry and weak competitiveness. The industry has to rely on state protection to maintain its survival in the long run.
In just a few hours, Guo Yang used the seed store to simulate several varieties that could improve the plight of the domestic sugar beet industry.
There are both specific varieties and universal varieties...
This abnormal ability made Guo Yang sigh that if there were no restrictions on natural energy, the entire earth would belong to him.
Guo Yang lingered in the Seed Research Institute for a long time and did not leave until nightfall. He again declined Qin Yelong's invitation to dinner on the grounds that it was too late.
Qin Yelong exclaimed that he suffered a huge loss, losing both his wife and his army.
The next day, Bi Qiang arrived in Changji with the newly established beet breeding team.
It is a team mainly composed of young people, and they also have the intention of training troops.
The group did not delay and went to the Seed Research Institute for inspection and to discuss the specific matters of introducing new varieties.
After a fierce fight at the dinner table in the evening, Guo Yang left Changji and returned to Jiuquan.
While busy with breeding in the laboratory, he also took time to inspect the Shule River Basin and the Xanthoceras sorbifolia nursery.
The arable land in the Shule River basin has improved visibly, and Niu Hulin plans to enter the Dunhuang wetland and open up a front this year.
There are plenty of seedlings in the Xanthoceras sorbifolia nursery, and they can be planted immediately once the weather warms up.
After staying in Jiuquan for a month, we have already had a preliminary breeding direction for Asan's cotton seeds.
Guo Yang then went to Guangxi Province and Guangdong Province successively to inspect the leprosy tree bases, and then studied the domestic sugarcane varieties collected by the branch company on the spot.
At the end of March, sugarcane and cotton seeds imported from Brazil and Australia arrived in Guangxi Province.
Guo Yang also let out an evil laugh one night.
