Chapter 476 Congratulations
Only after learning about the situation after the program was broadcast did Guo Yang start his official work.

He doesn't have much to do now, as specific tasks are assigned to specific people, so he mainly wants to understand the progress of each project.

For example, the information Qi Ziwen placed on his desk.

One is the recent raw material purchase of Provimi. The total cost of Jiahe's acquisition of Provimi exceeded US$27 billion.

Provimi's total global revenue last year was approximately US$60 billion, more than half of which came from premixes.

The rest is products such as concentrates and feed additives.

Its annual raw material cost is approximately US$40 billion to US$45 billion, of which feed additives are an important component of premixes, and the cost of corn and soybean meal accounts for about 50% of the complete feed.

In general, if Golden Harvest was a little more ruthless, it could take over 40% of the US$45 billion to US$90 billion in one go.

But this is also likely to cause management problems for Provimi.

Therefore, in the existing list, only Quanwang Biological's feed additives are included in the list for the time being.

Provimi's products have long been improved in this regard. After the merger, with Quanwang's full supply of raw materials, it will also be pushed into the market.

The document that Qi Ziwen reported was the order that Provimi placed with the King this month.

The first move was a big contract with a term of three months and a value of approximately US$5 million.

Guo Yang had a headache after reading this. After thinking about it, he called Yu Qin and asked, "Is the supply contract for Provimi too radical?"

Yu Qin said, "Don't worry, boss. This is Peter's request. They want to make a comeback this year. I'm thinking that next year Provimi's soybeans and corn can also be purchased from Jiahe Grain and Oil."

Guo Yang asked in confusion: "Aren't you worried about triggering a chain reaction? For example, local supervision or something?"

“No, the Netherlands mainly produces silage corn and forage grass, and also relies on imports for soybeans and corn. As for additives, Quanwang exports plant extracts, and further refining and subdivision is completed in the Netherlands.

Besides, the Netherlands also has DSM!"

I always feel like something is weird.

But Yu Qin said it was no problem, and Guo Yang didn't ask any more questions. Perhaps he was still a little uncomfortable with exploiting Dutch companies.

Moreover, the Dutch domestic feed industry also includes the likes of Teco and DSM, so the authorities should not be so vigilant.

Taico is the world's largest salmon feed company and is as stable as an old dog in this regard.

In contrast, DSM is a professional supplier of animal nutrition and feed additives, and is in direct competition with Provimi and Quanwang Biopharma.

There should be no need to worry about any regulatory risks before destroying DSM's feed business.

Oh, I'm so worried, afraid that I might use too much force and kill my opponent.

He looked at the information about the Pinglu Canal again, mainly the use of funds, followed by the progress.

The bidding for many canal projects has been completed, and construction of some basic road facilities has begun. The speed is not as fast as Jiahe, but under the administrative system, the efficiency is fast.

After looking at it for a few seconds, Guo Yang put it down.

After ten o'clock, Jiao Ning, the director of CCTV, made a phone call and they congratulated each other.

Then, as if a hornet's nest had been disturbed, the calls came one after another without stopping.

Leaders from many regions in Xinjiang Province have called us, and Jiahe has made large investments in some of them, such as Kashgar, Aksu, Korla in southern Xinjiang, and Altai in northern Xinjiang.

Some of them had never dealt with Golden Harvest, but they still called under this name, congratulating and soliciting investments.

The tower management bureau called again.

The Tarim River also plays an important role in the documentary. As the longest inland river in the country, nearly half of the population of Xinjiang Province lives in the Tarim River basin.

The poplar forest in autumn also leaves a deep impression.

Although it is shocking that the poplar trees that seem to have died of drought can still sprout new buds when they come into contact with water, the Tarim River Management Bureau hopes to give the Tarim River a new life like the Shule River.

Guo Yang knew that the Tarim River Administration had inspected the Shule River Basin, and thinking that the Hongqi River would eventually flow into the Tarim River, he readily agreed.

Before he could catch his breath, Li Shoujiang from Luo Potassium also called.

"Congratulations, Mr. Guo. The documentary is better than expected, but Luo Kai has too few scenes."

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment. What does "less" mean? He asked, "Has Luo Potassium left the country? I remember only the salt lake, but no mention of Luo Potassium!"

“Didn’t we see two big trucks transporting fertilizer on the road during the filming of the Lop Nur Gobi Desert? They were the fertilizer trucks.”

"..."

Li Shoujiang joked for a while, and then said, "How dare you bring that up? As a shareholder of Luo Potassium, you don't even have the awareness to promote your own family."

Guo Yang laughed and said, "Time is limited, so I have to focus on the best natural scenery. Actually, there is nothing good to shoot in Luojia."

Li Shoujiang felt a little sad. "What a pity! Jiahe's plant introduction project in Luojia should have been approved two years earlier."

"Is it growing well?"

"Your manager, Lu Zechuan, has some tricks up his sleeve. The plants he introduced have survived this summer safely. Now we have to wait and see how they perform in the winter."

"Haha, can the person I picked be wrong?"

"Okay, that's it. I called you mainly to remind you not to forget Luo Potassium."

It is impossible to forget it, Luo Potassium is located in the heart of Lop Nur. If the Hongqi River project is launched, Lop Nur will be one of the last major projects.

Luo Potassium is a fulcrum.

The current plant introduction project will be successful by then. Hmm? If there is water, can Luoqi's salt lake still exist? It should be fine, who cares!
After answering phone calls all morning, he didn't get much work done. In the afternoon, Guo Yang led his people to the countryside again.

There was a hint of cool autumn breeze in the air. Recently, Guo Yang had been wandering around the Heihe River and Taolai River.

While watching the autumn harvest, also study the river's hydrology.

If you want to connect the three main rivers in the Hexi Corridor: Shiyang River - Heihe River - Shule River.

In the latter section between the Heihe River and the Shule River, there are many rivers such as the Taolai River and the Shiyou River, as well as numerous Gobi deserts.

Moreover, if water is really transferred from the south, the direction of the river will have to change.

For example, the Taolai River flows from southwest to northeast overall, but if water is to be diverted to the west, a section of the existing river must completely reverse.

The Yuanyangchi Reservoir in the lower reaches of the Taolai River is about 43 kilometers away from the Heihe River to the east.

But in fact, a long time ago, there was also a small tributary in the lower reaches of the Heihe River flowing into the Yuanyangchi Reservoir.

Even now, there is an underground undercurrent in the Heihe River flowing into the Yuanyangchi Reservoir.

Guo Yang is not unfamiliar with this undercurrent, which is about 60 kilometers long and runs in roughly the same direction as Provincial Highway 301. The middle section of the undercurrent happens to be the northern edge of the largest Xanthoceras sorbifolia base.

The fruit picking is in progress at the nearby Xanthoceras sorbifolia base, and there are several large trucks parked on the side of the provincial road, loaded with fruit.

Guo Yang just took a few glances and went back to the Black River.

In one afternoon, he ran back and forth several times and was convinced that this undercurrent was the best channel connecting the two rivers.

The Hongqi River is still far away, but this undercurrent can be considered to be restored in advance, so that more water can flow into the Heihe River. In addition to flowing to the Jinta and Badain Jaran Desert downstream, part of it can also be diverted to the Yuanyangchi Reservoir.

Yuanyangchi Reservoir was not originally a tailwater lake. The Taolai River originally passed through the county seat and reached the Jinta Populus euphratica forest, desert and Beihaizi wetland in the north.

Once the reservoir is repaired, the flow downstream will be cut off, and then only ecological water can be discharged from the reservoir.

The reservoir is also an important source of water for agriculture, industry, etc. in the entire Jinta County.

If water from the Heihe River can be injected into the reservoir, the desert and Gobi surrounding Jinta can be developed into vast farmlands, grasslands and woodlands.

This is also the significance of the existence of Hongqi River.

But now we can only make up for it from within.

While saving water and leaving land fallow, it also improves the vegetation ecology in the basin, regulates the microclimate, reduces evaporation, and even increases precipitation.

Then slowly plot the Red Flag River~
After a busy afternoon, Guo Yang returned to Jiuquan, picked up Lin Keqing for dinner, and sent her back to her residence before returning home. Their wedding date was set for National Day.

The second episode of Aerial China has started airing, and this episode is about Hainan.

Guo Yang had never seen it before. After taking a shower, he sat on the sofa and watched it quietly.

Compared with Xinjiang Province, Hainan also has many outstanding features.

Even though Guo Yang has been to Hainan many times and has many industries there, he actually doesn't know much about Hainan except for southern breeding.

This time I also reviewed my geography knowledge.

In fact, think about it, most people have no idea what the cities in various provinces of our country look like.

So much so that when you mention Xinjiang, you think of ethnic minorities selling sheep, when you mention Shaanxi, you think of the Loess Plateau, and when you mention the Northwest, you think of the desert Gobi...

It seems like there is nothing else.

After watching aerial photos of China, many people will find that you may not understand your own country at all.

Liu Quan has this feeling now.

When he mentioned Hainan before, he thought of Sanya, but Hainan also has volcanoes, mangroves, lighthouses, tropical rainforests, terraced fields, salt fields, breeding bases...

At first, he was a little worried because all the footage was from aerial photography, which meant that his methods would be greatly restricted.

If a film is grand and magnificent from beginning to end, it will actually cause aesthetic fatigue.

But in the Hainan chapter, the drone not only captured clear images of the ducks flocking to the mudflats, but also captured the tiny crabs weighing only 2 grams in great detail.

This method shocked him greatly.

Even when shooting from the ground, you have to move the camera close to the object.

Yet, drones did it.

In the next few days, Guo Yang maintained a regular work and life rhythm, working in the morning, going to the countryside in the afternoon, and watching documentaries in the evening.

Gradually, I got to know the conditions of the river and what kind of plants needed to be cultivated.

In order to improve the river hydrology, the only thing Guo Yang could think of in the short term was to use plants to regulate the microclimate in the basin and increase precipitation.

At the same time, during this period, the influence of aerial Chinese documentaries has grown.

More and more people are watching TV every day, and the ratings of CCTV-9 have broken through previous records again and again.

As the only online broadcasting platform, Huinong.com also received a large amount of traffic, and its traffic and advertising revenues took off directly.

The special sponsorship advertising campaign launched by Hexi Dairy on CCTV and Huinong.com was extremely effective.

However, none of them can compare to the aerial photography drones that challenge the cognition of photography enthusiasts time and time again.
