Chapter 444 Huafu and Youngor
"I'm really reluctant to do that."

"The trillion-dollar headquarters economy that was promised hasn't even appeared yet!" Qin Lijun muttered.

Upon hearing this, Guo Yang, who also came to the French window, was stunned, "So you are still thinking about this?"

"I can't forget, and I won't forget."

Qin Lijun turned sideways, his eyes were sharp, and he said, "Even after I'm gone, I'll still remember that you persuaded me to shut down many polluting companies and factories because of this."

Guo Yang laughed and said, "Jia He will remember the help you gave."

Jiahe and Qin Lijun have only been working together for more than three years, but during this period, the two sides have cooperated a lot.

This clear river between the two cities is the result of Jiahe's efforts and the support of those in office such as Qin Lijun.

In recent years, Jiuquan has made considerable achievements in agriculture, urban construction and economic development.

But what prompted Qin Lijun's rise should be Jiuquan's achievements in fallow land.

The fallow policy in Jiuquan was initially promoted by Jiahe, but in actual implementation, the local government not only subsidized farmers but was also responsible for grassroots organization.

Now, three years have passed, and the effect of Jiuquan's fallow land policy is obvious.

There have been two years of pilot experience across the country, with a leap from 600 million mu to 6000 million mu. The results may have impressed the top leaders.

Qin Lijun smiled and said, "Once we decide on a location, we may have to ask Jiahe for investment."

Guo Yang smiled and agreed, "That's easy."

The two of them stood side by side in front of the window, looking at the snow-capped mountains and desert.

After more than ten minutes, Qin Lijun suddenly said, "Local governments provide certain protection for local enterprises."

Guo Yang raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "I don't quite understand."

"I think Tianhe has an anti-counterfeiting team." Qin Lijun said, "I heard about something."

"You said."

"The Tianhe anti-counterfeiting team has a rather rough style and has caused quite a stir in Meng Province, Yili and other places."

Qin Lijun said: "It's fine within the province, but you have to be more careful outside the province. Handling cases in other places may be more difficult, and the people under you should not be caught by others."

Call ~
Guo Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Yang Dawu's whereabouts had been discovered.

"I'll let the people below pay attention."

"Haha, don't worry too much. Tianhe will definitely have no problem fighting against seed counterfeiting in the province."

Qin Lijun turned around and asked teasingly: "Do you still remember the question the leader asked three years ago?"

How could he remember this? The leader said so much, and Guo Yang just waited for Qin Lijun to continue.

"Who is in the South?"

Guo Yang smiled again.

Qin Lijun pondered and said, "This is not just jealousy, but also a kind of worry. In recent years, many entrepreneurs who invested in other provinces have been cheated, and some have even lost their lives.

Especially some of Jiahe’s investment location choices…”

"I understand." Guo Yang felt the warmth in his heart and said, "I will try not to go there in person in the future."

“Haha, it still tastes the same.”

On the way back to the municipal building, the greenery and flowers on both sides of the city roads were still colorful in the cold wind.

"There are new varieties of flowers."

"The mark of Jiahe on this city is becoming deeper and deeper." Two consecutive sighs came from the executive car.

In early December, the Ministry of Agriculture released this year's grain production data.

6.41 billion tons!

Set a new record!
Although it is only a slight increase of one million tons compared to last year's 6.4 million tons, this was achieved while leaving 6000 million acres of land fallow.

This was beyond many people's expectations.

But it did not surprise Guo Yang, because the average grain yield per unit area increased significantly again.

The 6000 million mu of fallow land are all low-yield fields that drag down the average yield data, and the grain production capacity is not good.

There is also a comprehensive renewal of excellent varieties. In today's China, even in a remote town, there are high-quality commercial varieties for sale.

Because it's too curly.

In order to survive, many small businesses have to open up unfamiliar markets.

This will continuously increase the commercialization rate of seeds, and ultimately, it is natural that the average yield will increase significantly.

In addition, there is another data that has attracted much analysis: the sown area.

Compared with last year, the sown area this year has decreased, but the decline is far from reaching 6000 million mu.

The Ministry of Agriculture explained the data at the press conference.

Terms such as saline-alkali land improvement, low-yield field improvement, coastal saline-alkali land development, improved variety promotion, and structural optimization were constantly mentioned.

These measures have not only significantly increased domestic grain yields per unit area, but also increased the amount of high-quality arable land year by year.

Structural optimization is emphasized.

The corn planting area and total output decreased again, with the total output falling from 2.24 million tons to 2.05 million tons, but there is still enough capacity for export.

Soybean production increased significantly again, from 5050 million tons to 6860 million tons.

Slightly exceeding domestic consumption by three to four million tons, it has achieved self-sufficiency.

At the same time, since China is the last producing area of ​​non-GMO soybeans, there is no need to optimize demand through import and export soybean trade in the country.

Therefore, so far this year, the amount of domestic soybean imports is zero!

As for other crops such as rice, wheat, and potato, the yield per unit area has also increased significantly, while the total output has slightly increased or slightly decreased.

All in all, the total grain output has managed to maintain seven consecutive increases due to factors such as large-scale fallow and adjustment and optimization of planting structure!
The gold content of this increase in production is very high.

Some foreign media reporters also expressed doubts about the authenticity of the data at the press conference.

However, the spokesperson stressed the rigor of the data statistics method, and investigation teams at all levels went deep into various places to conduct research using scientific and rigorous methods.

The accuracy of the data cannot be questioned.

If it really doesn't work, investigate how stable domestic prices are to find out whether the statistical data is falsified.

At the same time, the spokesperson also said that the fallow pilot program in the past two years has gradually achieved fruitful results.

The quality of arable land that has been left fallow has been significantly improved, its fertility has been increased, and its grain production capacity has been greatly enhanced.

Therefore, China will normalize fallow land in the next few years, increase the proportion of fallow land, and implement the policy of "storing grain in the land" to the end.

As soon as the Ministry of Agriculture's press conference ended, it caused fluctuations around the world.

Analysts from Reuters said: "China's move to normalize fallow land is unbelievable, given that this is a country with a population of 14 billion.

In the last century, scholars from various countries generally believed that China would face a food crisis. However, it turned out that this was extremely wrong!

It has not only achieved food self-sufficiency, but also become an important food exporter.

This will have a profound impact on the pattern of international food trade and even affect the deep-level global game!"

The Wall Street Journal also followed China's food changes.

“Federation’s agricultural production has not improved, while Chinese grain traders are becoming more and more influential in the international market.

Leaving large areas of land for crop rotation and fallow can also be seen as an attempt by China to influence international food prices.

This will reduce the financial pricing power of grain commodity trading centers such as CME Group! "

The Agriculture Ministry's press conference attracted considerable attention from financial and social media around the world.

Although no one mentioned Jiahe during the press conference, the multinational giants were all aware of the important role that Jiahe played in China's agricultural transformation.

The four major grain traders, Wilmar International, Marubeni, Itochu, Monsanto, DowDuPont, Bayer, BASF... and other giants have all competed with Jiahe in the Chinese market.

No one will ignore its strong competitive strength.

Guo Yang was also not idle. Before the press conference of the Ministry of Agriculture, he received accurate news about the increase in grain production.

I also communicated with the people below in advance.

"At present, the impact on Jiahe Grain and Oil's corn deep processing business is not significant, but the impact on Jiahe International is quite obvious, and the corn export volume has declined sharply."

On the morning of the press conference, Qi Ziwen summarized the situation of each company and reported to Guo Yang.

Guo Yang pondered and said, "I also spoke to Chen Yanqiu on the phone last night. He was quite confident that the port of Rosario is almost operating at full capacity this year."

"I've also checked, the grain transport volume is almost 500 million tons." Qi Ziwen said, "But there is no profit."

"It doesn't matter."

Guo Yang said: "Once the storage and terminal of Santos Port in Brazil are put into operation, the annual grain transportation volume from South America is expected to reach 1000 million tons, which is enough to make up for the loss of domestic fallow land."

“It’s still not making money!”

"It's good enough if we don't lose money." Guo Yang smiled. "Grain traders such as Marubeni, Itochu, and CJ in the neighboring two countries are now reluctant to participate in international grain trade."

"Too."

When Qi Ziwen thought about what had happened to South Korea and the island countries, the burden in his heart didn't seem so heavy anymore.

Happiness is created by comparison.

Marubeni Corporation has been quite active in recent years. First, it invested heavily in mergers and acquisitions in North America. After China became an exporter, it also established a joint venture feed factory with New Hope.

We tried every possible way to import food.

However, North America and China have tightened their food exports, and many investments of Marubeni and CJ have gone down the drain.

Although Jiahe's internationalization is not as good as Marubeni's, it is also progressing steadily. It is not profitable, but it has not incurred huge losses either, so it is quite stable.

Then I think of the high prices in South Korea and the island countries.

Yeah, that's the rhythm.

Heavy snow fell, the northern scenery was intoxicating, and the plane took off from Jiayuguan and flew to Lanzhou.

This year, many major changes have taken place in Chinese agriculture, and Jiahe has once again achieved major breakthroughs in many fields.

OmniKing Biology, Jiahe Biochemistry, and Ji Xiaobai completed their rebirth and became the new backbone of the Jiahe system.

As for Tianhe Seed Industry, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Hexi Dairy and Fengkai Agricultural Machinery, they still fulfill the responsibilities of the big brothers.

Denong Agricultural Materials, Jiahe Grain and Oil, Donghe Agricultural Machinery, Jiahe Supermarket, Love Life, and Huinong.com constitute important distribution channels and are the blood vessels of Jiahe.

Qinghe Agriculture, Falcon Agriculture, Hexi Animal Husbandry, and Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry are responsible for both ecological management and providing raw materials.

Golden Harvest International, Golden Harvest Africa and Golden Harvest Middle East are the fulcrums for the overseas business of each major sector.

But in Guo Yang's mind, these companies all rely on the Jiahe ecosystem.

Only he knows that the natural energy provided by ecological management is the source of the continuous growth of the Jiahe Group.

Oh, I almost forgot about his playful work: Xiangyang Lake International Fishing Base. Now, it has become the leader in the field of lure sports in China.

Should I go fishing this year?
After thinking for a moment, Guo Yang abandoned the idea.

He and Lin Keqing have been in contact for such a long time, it is not a good idea to keep dragging it on like this.

There should be some progress during this trip to Lanzhou.

...

Illinois, North America.

This agricultural state, once a proud symbol of America's 'breadbasket', has been shrouded in an indelible shadow in recent years.

The cold wind blew up the snowflakes and also stirred up the anxiety in the hearts of the farmers.

The dilapidated farms and rusty harvesters tell the story of a once glorious agricultural empire now experiencing unprecedented turmoil.

"Corn and soybean seeds from Huaxia Company, as well as supporting planting technology, are you kidding me, John?"

Two men were drinking and chatting in an old farmhouse.

The person asking the question was Jay Peake, and sitting opposite him was John Smith. Both were farmers from Illinois and had been good friends for many years.

In the last century, the federal government pushed the soybean industry to its peak with genetic modification technology and large-scale agriculture.

The fertile black soil of Illinois has become the cradle of high-yield soybeans.

Both of them made their fortunes by growing soybeans.

However, starting from two or three years ago, the high-tech seeds that we had always been proud of became ineffective and were instead tortured by weeds and thorns.

Large-scale agriculture is highly dependent on capital.

The high cost of genetically modified seeds, the purchase of advanced agricultural machinery, as well as pesticides and fertilizers have forced many farmers into heavy debt.

The current soybean price cannot cover the soaring planting costs, and the two have to take out loans again and again.

Finally, this year, Jay Peake couldn't hold on any longer and was unable to repay his loan, so he could only watch his farm being auctioned off.

At this critical moment, his old friend, John Smith, lent him a helping hand and eased his repayment pressure.

This shocked him!

The two have been dealing with each other for a lifetime, so who doesn't they know?
He thought his planting skills were better than John's, but the reality was that John's farm climbed out of the quagmire this year!

There's even some energy left to help him!
This made him extremely curious about what exactly happened on John's farm.

But John just told him that his farm was reborn under the guidance of a Chinese company.

What an international joke!
Back then, a large portion of Illinois’ soybeans were exported to China!
"Times have changed, Jay."

John took a sip of wine, ate a piece of beef, and said, "At first, I didn't expect that a Chinese company could solve a problem that the entire United States couldn't solve."

Over the years, they have tried many methods to control weeds.

Flame weeding and tillage weeding are indeed effective, but the costs are rising, and they cannot eradicate weeds and red fire ants.

This makes the soybeans and corn produced uncompetitive internationally.

Every time I could only sell it with tears.

Jay asked puzzledly, "Have they developed any new pesticides?"

“Not really,” John said. “It’s incredible. They used dragonflies to kill the fire ants, and then used biopesticides to kill the thorn seedlings.”

"Oh my god, are you sure it's a dragonfly?"

Jay's eyes widened in disbelief. He was willing to believe any highly toxic chemical pesticide you said it was. But dragonflies?
Is it that simple? Does the Federation have no dragonflies?

That's impossible!

“A kind of yellow dragonfly, combined with biological pesticides, can prevent red fire ants and weeds.” John said, “And their seeds also perform very well, and they are not genetically modified seeds.”

When it comes to GMOs, Jay has mixed feelings.

At present, most people blame super weeds on genetically modified organisms, which are a type of resistant weeds.

After thinking for a while, Jay asked, "Where can I buy the products of this Chinese company?"

John shook his head. “In fact, apart from seeds, their pesticide and natural enemy factories have not been built yet!”

"What about you?"

"Yes, across the road is the breeding base of Huaxia Seed Company, which is right next to my farm. Last year, the weeds and red fire ants on my farm spread over there, affecting production. This year, they recommended their products to me."

John paused and smiled, "You should have heard of them. They also invested in the Asian carp processing plant."

"Oh my god, it turns out to be them."

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

This is a well-known fact, especially in Beardstown, where the Sangamon River flows into the Illijo and south into the Mississippi.

It is an important navigable waterway.

However, the river has been completely taken over by Asian carp.

They have amazing jumping abilities, and every time a grain ship passes by, not only will it be hit by the Asian carp, but there will also always be dozens of Asian carp in the cabin.

It not only destroyed the river ecology, but also brought many troubles to navigation.

So, when some Chinese people invested in an Asian carp processing plant in Beardstown, it caused a sensation in the entire city of Springfield.

Springfield is the capital of Illinois and the political center of the state. It was the birthplace of famous political figures such as Lincoln.

Beardstown is just west of the city.

It is said that this investment was brought in by a certain congressman, who had high hopes for this Asian carp processing factory.

Asian carp are everyone's nightmare.

But I didn’t expect that there is technology to deal with red fire ants and thorns in agriculture.

Jay asked, "When will their factory be operational?"

"It will definitely be available before the beginning of next spring," John said confidently, "and it should be available in Springfield by then."

"Okay, take me with you next year."

at the same time.

Yu Qin also completed his inspection of Quanwang Bio's Springfield plant, accompanied by Li Yang and Mitchell Berry of Quanwang North America.

“The progress is faster than I thought.”

"It was originally just a production workshop, without sophisticated instruments and equipment, so it's natural that it will be fast. Next year, the King of All will be able to make money from America."

"Hahaha."

Yu Qin and Li Yang communicated in Chinese.

Mitchell, who was standing by, was confused, but seeing the two men laughing at the factory, he knew they must be satisfied with his work.

Mitchell's blood boiled at the thought that the company had the technology to deal with red fire ants and thorns.

The Chinese have come to save the United States.

...

Maharashtra, India.

After coming to India, Cheng Di spent most of his time in the farmland of Mumbai University.

Like a dedicated breeding researcher, he is engaged in scientific research and breeding.

He also planted many varieties introduced from China in the farmlands of Mumbai, including the killer sugarcane variety.

Mumbai University is a well-known university in India, and its agricultural college's farmlands are spread all over Mumbai.

So Cheng Di promoted the "seeds" to Ahmednagar, a city in the western part of Maharashtra, under the pretext of research.

During this process, he also gave some cotton seeds to large farmers in various places.

It has to be said that Mabang’s natural conditions are indeed unique, and sugarcane can be grown twice a year.

Planting from January to March and harvesting from May to July;

Planting in August-September and harvesting in mid-December.

Now is the season for harvesting the first batch of sugarcane.

Sugarcane breeding fields in Ahmednagar.

Nests of sugarcane stand neatly with thick roots. Just one look at them can make people feel the beauty of the harvest.

This is indeed the case. Nat, a student who witnessed the growth process of the sugarcane, stood among the sugarcane bushes and shouted to everyone.

Cheng Di didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

Everyone thought he was also amazed at the good sugarcane harvest.

Professor Satnam patted Cheng Di on the shoulder and said, "This is India, my friend. You have to get used to the fertility of the land here."

Cheng Di smiled and nodded, "It is indeed a rich land."

He watched the sugarcane harvester shoveling and loading as it went along. The planting method of this sugarcane field was also very special, planting in clusters.

Therefore, the harvesting efficiency is extremely high.

In just half a day, a large field of sugarcane was harvested.

Nominally, this sugarcane variety was the result of the Cooperative Breeding Centre of the University of Mumbai, and the breeder became the old man Satnam.

This is exactly what Cheng Di hoped for.

He could probably guess that this breed had some undesirable breed characteristics.

After harvesting, as a new variety, it is natural to measure the yield.

"I bought it!"

"The average yield per mu reached 12 tons!"

"Am I crazy?"

“It’s a miracle!”

Nath, as well as many students from the College of Agriculture of the University of Mumbai who were participating in the experimental planting, shouted exaggeratedly.

It was as if I had heard an incredible output.

Even Professor Satnam was shocked.

The average sugarcane yield in India is only 2 to 3 tons. Although Maharashtra has better natural conditions and technical level, its yield is only 4 to 5 tons.

Today, this has nearly tripled!
“Is this a blessing from God?”

Cheng Di didn't know why an Indian professor always liked to shout words like "Omiya" and "God", but he knew that he should show some expression from the look in Satnam's eyes from time to time.

"Congratulations, Professor Satnam. These are all your great achievements. You will surely become famous all over the country!"

"Thank you, Cheng, and thanks to your help." Satnam breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Di waved his hand, "No, Professor, I just played a small role, you don't have to be modest."

The two of them were communicating in a perfunctory manner, and the students nearby also noticed their conversation.

And the surprises brought by this variety are not over yet. After sugar extraction, Satnam found that the sugar content of this variety reached an astonishing 17.3%.

It's simply the perfect variety.

Professor Satnam of the College of Agriculture at the University of Mumbai developed a sugarcane variety with astonishing yield, which quickly spread to major colleges and universities.

Various media also began to hype it up.

It then caught the attention of major seed companies, and countless people waved their money to purchase the varieties for transfer.

The threshold of Satnam's office was almost broken down.

Almost every day, Cheng Di hears that some well-known company has come to him again.

When he heard that Monsanto was also here, he couldn't help but murmur, "No way!"

A day later, Satnam came to consult Cheng Di for his opinion. Cheng Di was stunned for a while and silently said the name.

“Monsanto.”

"why?"

“It helps professors reach out to the world.”

...

Magic City.

“Why did Weiguang’s private equity fund choose Youngor?”

Li Hanqiong looked quite dashing in a black suit, but his tone sounded a little unfamiliar.

She is the director and general manager of Youngor Investment Co., Ltd. and also a director of Bank of Ningbo.

Weiguang Investment is well-known in the circle, but its style is very low-key, and it is difficult for outsiders to know its background.

Li Hanqiong recalled carefully and found that he had no connection with Weiguang, but the other party asked to raise more than 10 billion US dollars.

On the other side, Yang Cheng pondered and said, "Weiguang's parent company Jiahe has cooperated with Youngor Group. Both parties are members of the Jiahe Cotton Industry Alliance (JCIA)."

"is it?"

"You can investigate first." Yang Cheng said: "The funds raised this time are also mainly for cotton futures, with a lock-up period of 5 years."

"Okay, let me ask first."

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

Li Hanqiong was concise and soon called his father Li Rucheng.

"Dad, has Youngor joined the cotton industry alliance led by Jiahe?"

"Yes, it happened last year. What happened?"

"Weiguang Investment has established a private equity fund targeting cotton futures and asked me to invest." Li Hanqiong explained the cause and effect of the incident in detail.

"Are you sure it's Weiguang?" Li Rucheng was surprised. If there was anyone who could surpass him in financial investment in the past few years, Weiguang must be one of them.

Li Hanqiong said: "If it is true that Ge Wenyao of Jiahua is the middleman, why don't you give Jiahe some face and invest less money?"

"Let me think about it... Futures, cotton futures... Weiguang and Jiahe..." Li Rucheng kept muttering, saying, "Girl, do you know Jiahe's past performance in futures?"

"I heard something."

Li Hanqiong said, "Dad, you are not tempted, are you? There are more than one or two people who want your money."

"We need to think carefully about this matter." After thinking for a while, Li Rucheng said, "Well, let me see if I can invite Mr. Guo from Jiahe to have a meal and discuss the investment in detail."

"You really have to vote!"

"If the opportunity is right, it might be possible," said Li Rucheng.

He recalled the battle in which Jiahe defeated Louis Dreyfus and Ikam in the domestic cotton futures market in the past two years, so he had some confidence in Jiahe's investment in cotton futures.

Moreover, JCIA seems to be doing well, which is very beneficial to Yageo, which is returning to its core business.

By investing in Ningbo Bank and CITIC Securities, Yageo made a profit of over 10 billion yuan by reducing its holdings during the bull market three years ago!
It was once known as the Berkshire of China.

In addition to being a leading company in the textile and garment industry, Youngor has also gained the title of a financial tycoon.

From then on, whenever Li Rucheng went to a place to participate in investment negotiations, he would bring a catchphrase with him.

"I came here to investigate with 100 billion."

However, the financial crisis also caused Yageo's equity and real estate investments to shrink severely. Today, Yageo is no longer as prosperous as the outside world says.

...

Guo Yang stayed in Lan City until after New Year's Day, and Lin Keqing was about to finish her research trip in the Omni-King and was about to return to the capital.

But it doesn’t matter whether they do the research or not, because their relationship has made a breakthrough.

That day, Lin Keqing sent Guo Yang to the airport and said, "Remember to come to Beijing for the Spring Festival."

She really couldn't imagine that a billionaire actually went to the uninhabited northern Xinjiang to fish with his bodyguards during the Spring Festival last year.

Guo Yang smiled and said, "I will definitely come."

Lin Keqing had her hands in her pockets, a pink hat on her head, and her face was red from the cold.

"Okay, then let's go."

"Let's go."

They both waved at the same time.

Guo Yang then arrived at Kashgar Laining International Airport by a special plane.

As soon as he got off the plane, Guo Yang met Ji Linchuan, the general manager of Jiahe Cotton and Linen Company. After not seeing her for a year, she was still as slim as ever.

"Chairman, Mr. Sun Weiting of Huafu Fashion has also arrived at the hotel, but he is quite dissatisfied with the choice of Kashgar as the meeting place."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "If Huafu can also take out 100 billion at any time, I can also choose Aksu as the location."

Ji Linchuan smiled knowingly, thinking that Li Rucheng's constant mention of "100 billion" was of some use.

Huafu’s Xinjiang Province base is in Aksu Alar, adjacent to Jiahe Cotton and Linen Company.

The Youngor Cotton Textile Company is the largest industrial enterprise in Kashgar.

Jiahe has businesses in both Aksu and Kashgar, so it doesn’t matter which one we choose.

But the boss decided to set the location in Kashgar, which undoubtedly made it convenient for Li Rucheng.

For a moment, Ji Linchuan was stunned. It seemed that the boss was wearing a Yageo suit under his black down jacket.

He was already starting to panic.

"Come on, boss, you really think the matter is not big enough!"
