Chapter 443: The Land of Rest and Recuperation This Year
The fact that statistics on grain production have not been released does not mean that we are helpless.

Jiahe has no shortage of weapons.

The soybean counterattack is the best example.

Not only have imported soybeans disappeared, but domestic non-GMO soybeans are also becoming increasingly competitive internationally.

Six years ago, the domestic soybean processing industry suffered a severe blow, with the entire industry suffering losses and private enterprises becoming insolvent.

There are still many companies suffering on the brink of life and death.

The soybean crisis has also spread to the upstream of the industry, and farmers have abandoned soybeans and turned to growing grain.

A distorted pattern of 'South America grows soybeans, China uses soybeans, and America sells soybeans and determines the price' has initially taken shape.

my country has shifted to relying on imports of soybeans from international grain traders.

But in the face of the crisis, domestic soybeans have undergone a transformation starting from the seeds.

From the coastal saline-alkali land, to the main production areas in the Northeast, and then to the new production areas in the Northwest, domestic soybeans have made a comeback in just a few years!

We have vigorously developed the soybean seed industry and improved the soil environment in soybean-growing areas, resulting in a significant increase in soybean production.

The competitiveness of domestic soybeans is enough to compete with imported soybeans, and farmers' enthusiasm for soybean planting has increased, allowing domestic soybeans to enter a cycle of sustainable development.

And this year, genetically modified soybeans were completely driven out of the country.

There is even some energy left for export.

This is an amazing story of counterattack.

The story of soybean’s counterattack began to spread rapidly on major platforms and traditional media.

No one can deny this.

Last year, domestic soybean production reached 5000 million tons.

Soybean consumption continued to grow this year, but the area converted from corn to soybeans not only covered the growth in demand, but also left room for export.

Many domestic grain and oil professionals interviewed were once embarrassed because many of them chose to embrace imported soybeans in the early stage of domestic soybean counterattack.

This ultimately resulted in both ends getting beaten.

Only Xue Liqiang from Jiusan Grain and Oil talked a lot in front of the reporters.

"Jiusan Grain and Oil has always been the most steadfast defender of domestic soybeans!
During the most difficult times, farmers in high-altitude areas had no choice but to grow soybeans and barely survive by relying on the state reserve purchase price.

But this was a disaster for companies that processed domestic soybeans. At that time, Jiusan Grain and Oil lost hundreds of yuan for every ton of soybeans it processed.

Fortunately, Tianhe has achieved a technological breakthrough in soybean breeding, and combined with land improvement, it has allowed the yield of domestic soybeans to catch up with and significantly surpass imported soybeans!
Today, the soybean planting area in the black soil of Northeast China has been increasing year by year, and the yield record has been continuously improved. The domestic soybean industry has been revitalized! "

The price of edible oil in the country has been relatively low in the past few years, but it has also risen a lot in the past year!

Is it because of the upcoming production cuts?
But the counterattack of soybeans has made people see the facts clearly. The soybean industry is no longer a small business, and the price increase of edible oil has nothing to do with the food crisis.

It is simply that in the past few years, domestic soybeans launched a counterattack against foreign soybeans, and also drove foreign soybeans out of the country through price wars.

The price of edible oil is rising now, but it’s just that domestic soybeans have achieved a complete victory and the price has returned to normal!
Many people think that the price of edible oil was indeed very low in the past two years.

In addition to soybeans, Jiahe has also presented many cases of increased and high yields in wheat, rice, and corn.

Moreover, the analysis is conducted from the perspective of a county, a city, or even a province or region.

The development of coastal saline-alkali land has unknowingly achieved unknown results.

In Shandong Province, Jiangsu Province and other places, after two or three years of reclamation, planting of alfalfa and other green manures to reduce salinity and alkali, the cultivated land area has increased again.

At the same time, many of the originally hardened saline-alkali lands and low-yield fields have been improved year by year by alfalfa, soybeans, and foxtail grass.

Development of barren alkaline land, transformation of medium and low-yield land...tens of millions of acres of saline-alkali wasteland have been turned into fertile fields.

A saline-alkali land researcher from Kenli, Dongying, spoke with full confidence.

"Give me a piece of saline land, and I'll give you a piece of high-yield farmland!"

Some people also used the perspective of a farmer in Henan Province to tell the story of the "four consecutive leaps" in grain production in Kaifeng, Henan Province over the past eight years.

As the picture unfolds, the yellow corn kernels are full, and seven or eight large corn harvesters are galloping in the corn field, harvesting the grains.

Good seeds go with good fields, and good fields go with good techniques. The average yield of corn per mu in Kaifeng has already reached the 2000-jin mark.

it's for:

“The confidence of a good harvest can be seen from a piece of field.”

Finally, it is fallow.

Fallowing refers to suspending farming activities on the land to give the land a chance to recuperate, thereby restoring and enhancing soil fertility.

Just like giving the land a period of sleep, it is not simply abandoned, but will allow natural herbs to grow.

These herbaceous plants will absorb a certain amount of organic matter from the soil and also synthesize organic matter through photosynthesis.

But these organic matter will eventually return all its accumulated organic matter to the soil in the form of humus.

If you look closely, you will find that herbaceous plants return more organic matter to the soil, achieving natural recovery and enhancement of soil fertility.

This is the basic logic behind leaving land fallow to enhance soil fertility.

With widespread publicity, many people have realized the benefits of leaving land fallow.

If food production is sufficient, leaving land fallow is indeed in line with the concept of sustainable development.

However, seed and agrochemical companies are unhappy.

What do you mean?
Why did the wind direction suddenly change?

In an office building in Shanghai, a voice came from a tea room.

"Fuck, why is he falling again?"

"Looking at stocks, wow, they're seed stocks, really rare, who would buy seed stocks these days!"

Qian Xiwen looked at the green stocks, then turned to look at his colleague Su An who was watching, and said, "Why can't we buy agricultural stocks?"

Su An held the thermos cup in his hand, shook his head and said, "It's hard for agricultural stocks to have a big market."

"Why? Doesn't the country attach great importance to the development of agriculture?" Qian Xiwen asked puzzledly. He had only recently started to speculate in stocks.

Seeing that topics related to agriculture were very popular online, I chose agricultural stocks.

"The industry's position is becoming increasingly prominent, but the performance is mediocre, so naturally the stock price is mediocre. Domestic listed agricultural stocks are all in this situation." Su An said with a smile.

His tone was full of disdain for agricultural stocks, which are an almost forgotten group in the A-share market.

The most fundamental reason, of course, is that the performance of listed agricultural companies is mediocre.

Qian Xiwen said puzzledly: "I think domestic agriculture has developed very well in recent years!

There are more and more high-quality varieties, and the grain yield is getting higher and higher. Corn has long been exported. Even the worst soybeans have not only achieved self-sufficiency this year, but also have the spare capacity to export more than one million tons. The performance should be on the rise! "

Su An said, "What does this have to do with seed stocks?"

“Increase in grain production has nothing to do with the seed industry?”

Qian Xiwen looked at Su An with a suspicious look, "Do you understand? This is common sense, okay?"

"Oh, how can I tell you?" Su An was very troubled. Well, there are new leeks entering the market.

After thinking for a while, he put the thermos cup on the tea table, sat down and said, "Let me tell you today. I was optimistic about seed stocks back then, but, alas, for several consecutive years, I was unknown most of the time."

Qian Xiwen was surprised, "Brother Su, have you also bought seed stocks?"

"Yeah, I bought Denghai Seeds and Longping High-Tech." Su An shook his head, "But I sold them long ago. I'm telling you, stop loss and leave in time. Don't touch agricultural stocks."

Qian Xiwen was puzzled, "How could that be? There will always be a time when performance will improve, right?"

“It’s difficult. Stock trading is all about expectations, but agricultural stocks all lack room for imagination.

Among the listed agricultural companies, whether in the seed industry, agricultural materials, animal vaccines, agricultural distribution and other sub-industries, there is still no one that has become internationally famous.

The only well-known company has no intention to go public yet, which has put pressure on a number of listed companies to breathe. "

Su An spoke slowly and described the hardships faced by agricultural stocks, especially seed stocks, in recent years.

He was once a firm believer in agricultural stocks and even studied Buffett's philosophy and believed in value investing.

I also believe that as a major agricultural country, China will inevitably produce high-quality agricultural stocks.

Seeds, known as agricultural chips, were the first to be affected, so he purchased the leading stocks of the year, including Longping High-Tech, Dunhuang Seed, Denghai Seed, Wanxiang Denong, etc.

However, after waiting for a few years, Longping High-Tech was involved in a scandal and lost focus on its main business. Instead, it was successful in real estate and its stock price could only be described as mediocre.

However, without the real estate to drive performance, Dunhuang Seed Industry, Denghai Seed Industry and other companies have gradually fallen into the quagmire.

Every time they release performance announcements, they predict a reduction in earnings, and the company’s stock price continues to fall with no end in sight.

But it is clear that domestic agriculture is developing rapidly and achieving good results one after another.

It was not until later, after he became familiar with various forums and gained a deeper understanding of agriculture, that he finally understood what was going on!

The rapid development of domestic agriculture is closely related to breakthroughs in breeding technology. It can be said that seeds truly play the role of agricultural chips.

However, what the hell does this have to do with listed seed companies!
It’s Tianhe Seed Industry!

Tianhe Seed Co., Ltd. has not been listed, and it has been clearly stated many times that Tianhe will not be listed!

There is nowhere to buy.

From then on, Su An came to his senses and reluctantly cut off his flesh with tears in his eyes.

But there is occasional attention.

However, with the existence of Tianhe Seed, although listed seed companies occasionally have varieties that perform well, they are nothing more than grabbing what Tianhe has left.

Now that expectations are gone, it is natural that seed stocks are neglected, and the same is true for most agricultural stocks.

"With Tianhe around, the performance of listed seed companies won't improve." Su An shook his head and said, "Besides, they are still promoting fallow land."

"Yes, yes, yes." Qian Xiwen nodded repeatedly and said, "Recently, everyone in the forum has been talking about fallow land. There is a lot of controversy. Some people say that fallow land will affect the performance of seed companies, but others say that the reduction in grain production after fallow land is beneficial for seed companies to raise prices."

Su An said disdainfully: "So what if the price is raised? Can the performance increase significantly?"

Qian Xiwen was about to refute, but then he thought of Tianhe Seed Company. Yes, so what if the price increased? This is the hurdle that listed seed companies cannot cross.

There is no room for imagination.

"Oh, it seems I bought the wrong one."

"Buy something else. There is no shortage of good opportunities in the market now." Su An said mysteriously.

Qian Xiwen asked curiously, "What did Brother Su buy?"

"Modu Jiahua." Su An smiled slightly, "I suggest you pay attention to it."

I heard that Qian Xiwen found this stock on the stock trading software and said, "This stock has risen quite well. Is it a good time to buy it now at a high price?"

Su An laughed and said, "That's just the beginning. Since being acquired by Jiahe, Jiahua's performance this year has been steadily rising, but it hasn't exploded. By the way, do you know Jiahe?"

Qian Xiwen said: "I know, it's the parent company of Tianhe Seed Industry."

Su An nodded and said: "Jiahe has another subsidiary, Quanwang Biology, which is also a leader in its niche field and has unparalleled advantages in the cultivation, extraction and application of natural plant elements.

Yuze, a product under Jahwa, was jointly developed with Quanwang. In the past year, its sales volume has been rising steadily and its performance has been improving.

But Quanwang Biotechnology has been holding back, but I think next year or the year after, Jahwa will explode.”

Qian Xiwen looked at the mobile phone app and saw that the share price of Modou Jahwa was about 48 yuan per share.

Although the daily or weekly gains are relatively balanced, it is a steady upward trend.

All in all, the increase is actually quite significant.

"Brother Su, do you have anything to say?"

"In the past year, Jiahe, the major shareholder of Jahwa, has launched several acquisition invitations. The shareholding ratio has exceeded 50%. It's time to go all out next!"

Su An was full of confidence in this.

Jahwa has performed well in the past year, however, he also firmly believes that Jahwa has not yet really hit its stride!

“After exiting seed stocks, I am still unwilling to invest in agricultural stocks, especially the Jiahe Group.

Only after in-depth research on domestic agriculture did I realize that Jiahe is the industry leader in many fields such as domestic seed industry, forage industry, dairy industry, etc.

But the Jiahe Group has no listed companies.

Not a single one!

There is no way to invest.

It was not until Jiahe acquired Shanghai Jahwa that my eyes lit up. If I couldn’t invest in Jiahe, I could invest in Jiahe’s industrial chain!
Jahwa is a leading domestic daily chemical brand, so I decided to invest in Jahwa. As a result, the stock price kept rising after that, and the floating profit exceeded 30% in one year.

But only after in-depth research on the Omni-King creatures, we can realize how great the potential of domestication is!

Where are you now?
To be honest with you, brother, this is the 10x stock in my mind! "

Qian Xiwen swallowed his saliva. He swears to God, he just came to the tea room to eat some snacks during his break and check the stocks.

But this is what happened. But he was moved.

10x stock, after buying 10, will it steadily turn into 100 million?
On this day, Qian Xiwen began to become absent-minded at work. After getting off work and returning home, he began to look up information about Modou Jahwa, Quanwang Biotechnology, and Jiahe.

He ignored online talk of fallowing the fields.

When he saw general managers and other management of major seed companies come out to criticize the fallow policy, he sneered and occasionally made a few comments.

"It's as if the performance and stock price will rise if the land is no longer fallow."

The more information he looked up and the more he understood about agriculture, the more surprised Qian Xiwen became!
giant.

Only then did he realize that he was actually a loyal user of Golden Harvest.

Whether it is the commonly consumed foods and beverages such as Jixiaobai and Hexi milk, or the technological products that are admired such as drones, or even the Internet access such as Weilai Weibo and Huinong.com.

They are all from Jiahe!
But the most impressive thing is its dominant position in the seed field, which netizens jokingly call the suppression of an era!
A giant lurking crocodile.

Qian Xiwen was shocked, and the next day he decisively sold all the stocks he held in companies such as Longping High-Tech and Denghai Seeds.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

What the hell!
It was totally unexpected.

On the contrary, Shanghai Jahwa, which was acquired by Jiahe, is like a tiger with wings, about to pierce the sky.

"Jiahua, here I come."

Qian Xiwen shouted in his heart, and then invested all the 10 yuan left after clearing out his inventory into Jahwa.

From then on, apart from living expenses, he invested the rest of his monthly salary into Jahwa and became a glorious moonlighter.

...

At this time, the seed stocks and agricultural chemical stocks of the A-share market all entered a downward trend again.

With Jiahe's efforts, a large amount of data and information has been widely circulated on major platforms in the form of text and video.

Many people were amazed by the level of detail in this information.

Many people felt like they were watching a documentary, with simple and straightforward images showing the changes year after year.

Some media people exclaimed: "I think Golden Harvest is the only company in the country that can do such work."

This has been recognized by countless people.

Who the hell would waste so much manpower and material resources to record the changes in land and food!

But it is precisely this kind of work that has dispelled rumors of a food crisis.

Especially on the Huinong website, there are many videos circulating of people shopping in supermarkets in the two neighboring countries.

The prices of various commodities are astonishing. The average price of rice in South Korea is 10 yuan per catty, compared with the average price of 1.3 yuan per catty in China at this time.

Fruits and vegetables are even more exaggerated.

Meat is even more of a luxury.

It is foreseeable that as China, a newly emerging grain-producing country, falls into the shadow of crisis, the United States will fall into the shadow of crisis.

Importing livestock feed will become increasingly difficult for island countries and South Korea.

Want to eat meat?
Haha, eating grass is more in line with the identity of a developed country.

At this time, many people realized that the media mixed in the public opinion definitely had the voices of the two neighboring countries.

Some netizens also brought up old issues.

A few years ago, the two neighboring countries strongly boycotted domestic agricultural products, especially the positive list system, which dealt a serious blow to domestic agricultural product exports.

"Support fallow! We must rest the fields to starve the Japanese and South Koreans to death!"

“Domestic grain prices are indeed too low, perhaps because there is too much grain production.”

"Unconsciously, China has become an important grain exporter. This will severely control the Japanese and South Korea!"

"Looking at those videos, a lot of the fallow land is saline-alkali land, low-yield land, and ecologically polluted land. It really should be left fallow!"

Seeing the online comments in support of fallow land and the falling stock price, Longping High-Tech's general manager Liu Shi felt depressed.

"Mr. Liu, the situation is not good. The board of directors is putting pressure on us again."

Liu Shi took a puff of his cigarette, looking worried, "Alas, the stock price is not sluggish, and our management doesn't want it to happen!"

He was the one who facilitated the cooperation with French seed giant Limagrain, hoping to get a share of the corn market.

However, the many varieties launched, such as Lihe 16, can only be leftovers that Tianhe doesn't want.

However, what is heartbreaking is that according to the information circulating on the Internet, the development of the "downstream market" by seed companies such as Longping and Denghai is also an important factor in promoting a significant increase in domestic grain yields.

Although it is a compliment, the markets in remote mountainous areas and small grain-producing counties are indeed not small and are enough to feed a large number of people, but wanting to make them bigger and stronger is nothing but a pipe dream.

A common saying in the stock market is: there is no room for imagination in performance.

In addition, Longping’s vegetable seeds are also in danger.

Only rice seeds still maintain their leading position, but Tianhe is also expanding into this market.

Falling idle is just an excuse they make for their poor performance. What else can they do? They just say they can't beat Tianhe and they probably don't want to do it anymore.

However, the company has invested too many resources in entering the corn seed market over the years, and if there is no improvement, it will probably have to change people.

Tianhe Seed Industry is like a huge shadow hanging over listed seed companies.

Thinking of this, Liu Shi said, "Well, let's continue to push for fallow. Looking at the current situation, fallow next year is inevitable."

Assistant Xiao Shulan pondered and said, "Do you want to do something else?"

"Try it, it may not work."

Jiahe made him so desperate. Damn it, I was just throwing some dirty water on Fallow Farm and passing the buck to give an explanation to the board of directors.

However, Golden Harvest made a big fuss about this and fought back so sharply.

You've eaten the meat, so what's wrong with taking the blame?
Liu Shi was helpless.

But the same scenario also happened in seed companies such as Denghai, Dunhuang, and Wanxiang Denong, as well as pesticide companies.

Leaving land fallow means a reduction in the total market volume.

These companies dare not oppose national policies openly, but they will definitely make some efforts in secret, otherwise it will only make the management appear more incompetent.

So, some people came out to work again.

On the evening news of a well-known local TV station, a piece of news about abandoned farmland was widely circulated.

This 'fallow' land is full of weeds and trees, some of which are more than 3 centimeters in diameter.

"What's the point of leaving the land fallow like this?"

"Leaving farmland fallow will only exacerbate the phenomenon of abandoned farmland in rural areas. In the long run, it will not only waste farmland resources, but will also lead to the abandonment and degradation of farmland."

For a moment, it really caused a stir.

However, it was soon suppressed again.

There was a chilly wind outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the leaves of the sea buckthorn trees on the Gobi Desert had already fallen, leaving only bare stems.

The office was warm as usual, and Guo Yang was leisurely drinking tea at the coffee table.

Qin Lijun, who had just sat down, teased, "Why does Jiahe do such a meticulous job? What's his intention?"

"Amulet!" Guo Yang said with a smile: "There is a saying that goes, work must not only be done well, but also be visible to others, especially for deeds such as ecological governance that are difficult to define. Only by recording them can people remember Jiahe's great achievements in the future.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless for Jiahe to spend so much money just to make a few small profits."

"It's really a talisman. Now I understand why Jiahe likes to make documentaries." Qin Lijun said.

In response to the doubts raised by seed companies about abandoned land, the "Five Acres for a Mercedes" column updated its content in the form of a short documentary: "Farmer Lao Pan's Story of Falling Away from Farming."

Instead of growing rice on the 120 acres of paddy fields, more than yuan was invested to grow "grass". The grass is not sold and is turned over to the fields to be used as fertilizer?
From Lao Pan's perspective, it tells the story that leaving land fallow does not mean leaving it idle.

Lao Pan planted alfalfa on fallow land, and in autumn he used machinery to plow it directly into the ground to improve soil fertility.

For this item alone, Pan Shubao invested about 10,000 yuan.

In addition, earthworm castings as organic fertilizer were also added.

Even purchased earthworms.

The land has been fallow for three consecutive years and has been put into use for three years, completely missing the national pilot subsidy for fallow land.

But Lao Pan has no regrets.

Because after three years of fallow, his field, which was originally only slightly compacted, directly met the standards for growing organic rice.

The organic rice grown was sold at a high price and high quality this year, with one acre producing 600 kilograms of rice, and the rice alone could be sold for a value of more than 3000 yuan.

120 acres, with an income of nearly 40 yuan.

Three years of fallow and three years of hard work, the income seems to be not much different from not leaving the land fallow.

However, the organic transformation has been completed, which means that the rice produced every year will be higher than others, and there will be room for price increases every year.

The show was well received.

Rice is closely related to the daily life of the Chinese people. Lao Pan used three years of craftsmanship to leave the land fallow and plant grass, plow green manure, and improve the fertility of the soil. Finally, he cultivated good soil and produced high-quality organic rice.

Many people thought that Lao Pan’s rice was sold at a low price and they all shouted to post the link.

But Lao Pan’s rice had been sold out long ago.

Let a lot of people express regret.

However, this entertaining and educational approach has effectively promoted the benefits of fallowing, so much so that the Farmers' Daily also reported on Lao Pan's fallowing experience.

CCTV's "How to Get Rich" also produced a similar program, in which a large farmer improved thousands of acres of low-yield land by leaving it fallow this year.

Better show the results of fallow land.

Judging from the attitude revealed by the central media, the top leaders have strong strategic determination.

Leaving the land fallow is a good strategy to store grain in the ground!

It was for this reason that Qin Lijun appeared in Guo Yang's office.

When it comes to fallow land, Jiuquan is the city that leads the country.

The main rivers in the territory, such as the Shule River, Dang River, and Taolai River, also burst into new life this year!
Guo Yang also had a general idea of ​​Qin Lijun's thoughts. After the above-mentioned assessment, it was time to reward him based on his merits.

After thinking for a while, Guo Yang said, "Once the Dunhuang Wetland is completed, we can also make a large-scale documentary on river basin management. The role of fallow land will be more prominent, and you, Lao Qin, will also be credited for your contribution."

"Hahaha, then I'll be waiting."

“I am looking forward to that day too.”

After chatting for a while, Qin Lijun asked again: "Will the seven consecutive increases in grain production really end this year?"

Guo Yang wondered, "Why bother with this?"

Qin Lijun said: "This is an honor after all!"

Guo Yang shook his head. From Qin Lijun's thoughts, it was clear that someone above him must have taken on the responsibility of increasing grain production.

"In fact, there is a high probability..."

"Hey, it's no fun to talk halfway through."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "In recent years, there have been earth-shaking changes in the cultivation of corn, soybeans and wheat in China.

It makes the data difficult to grasp, but my judgment is that production will continue to increase.”

Qin Lijun was surprised, "Really?"

"not sure."

"You're... teasing me for fun, right?!"

Guo Yang suddenly asked: "You should be promoted, right?"

Qin Lijun was a little caught off guard by the question. He was stunned for a moment before he picked up the teacup and sipped his tea to relax.

“Before the end of the year.”

"That's just a few days away."

"That's why I want to visit Jiahe more often."

Qin Lijun stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking into the distance. Hundreds of machines were still roaring in the Gobi Desert at the foot of the Qilian Mountains.

Deserts, canyons, Gobi, snow-capped mountains, wetlands...

A clean and clear river runs through the city, and two eco-tourism cities come alive.

"I'm really reluctant to do that."
