Chapter 503: Hongqi River Project Approval, Let Go of Obsession
There was a lot of discussion going on, and the bathroom and pantry were bustling with activity.

After a moment of silence, Su An finally accepted the reality and sighed, "Sure enough, hesitation will lead to defeat!"

Qian Xiwen felt relieved, smiled faintly, and said, "It's not too late to get on the bus now."

Su An was surprised and asked: "Is there still a chance? What happened?"

Qian Xiwen shook his head and said, "I am confused as to what happened specifically, but it should be related to Ah San. Jiahe warned us a long time ago."

A group of people returned to their workstations, working absent-mindedly, and occasionally hanging out in the stock forum.

A report from the BBC caused a stir both at home and abroad.

The cause is that the germination rate of sugarcane planted and left in February in India is generally alarmingly low. Even if some of them have sprouted, they are generally malnourished, with yellowing leaves, and it seems that they will wither if there is any natural disaster.

Low germination rate and malnutrition are normal, but the area involved is too large.

This phenomenon has occurred in large numbers in sugarcane producing areas in central, southern and even northern India.

The BBC estimated the area to be a staggering 2.57 million acres!

Covers all sugarcane and cotton producing areas.

However, what is even more frightening is the reason for the low germination rate and malnutrition: the soil fertility has been destroyed!

And the damage is irreparable!

The reason for the decline in soil fertility is the new varieties of sugarcane and cotton that make the Indian people so proud!
According to the BBC, the super-high yields of these two new varieties are entirely due to the extremely high consumption of soil fertility and water resources. Not only does it squeeze out the soil fertility in a short period of time, it also seriously damages the roots of the land.

However, due to the increased profits brought by the huge increase in yields, farmers in India are still frantically expanding the planting of sugarcane and cotton.

Even if it can be brought under control as soon as possible, the damaged land area is expected to exceed 5 million mu.

But, with India’s government efficiency, can it control it?

Obviously most people are not optimistic.

At the same time, the low germination rate and malnutrition of sugarcane on a large scale have also caused a sharp change in this year's production and marketing situation.

India's production is far below expectations!

In addition, the planting types and areas in South America and other places have been determined. Due to the influence of India, Brazil has reduced the planting areas of sugarcane and cotton to avoid its influence.

Now the situation in India has reversed, and the sowing in South America, Australia and other places has become a foregone conclusion.

In an instant, domestic and foreign institutions changed their judgment on the domestic cotton and sugar industries.

Market expectations are much better than expected.

The varieties available for choice for planting companies such as Guannong, Yasheng, Xinnong, Beidahuang, and Suken Nongfa have been opened up again.

In particular, Guannong Holdings, whose main crops are cotton, sugar beets and tomatoes, immediately attracted the favor of the capital market.

In addition, companies such as Guannong and Yasheng have close relations with Jiahe.

As the incident unfolded, the agricultural risks that Jiahe had warned India of two months ago were also reported by the media.

And during this process of foreign countries suppressing Xinjiang cotton, the JCIA, which was jointly established by Jiahe, performed exceptionally well.

Companies within the alliance have expressed their support for domestic cotton, and the quality of textile and apparel products within the alliance has significantly improved in recent years.

One end is natural raw materials, the other end is branded fashion products.

The two elements at both ends of the industrial chain seem to have no connection, but under the JCIA system, they are closely connected as one.

Some products even give people the feeling that they surpass international brands in terms of materials and other aspects.

Now that external pressure has come, domestic fashion has begun to rise and brand confidence has begun to increase.

It can be said that the national cotton brand has contributed to the rise of national fashion, and the era of national cotton is accelerating.

However, even though Xinjiang cotton is of high quality and high yield, the supply and demand of high-quality cotton in the country is still seriously unbalanced.

Moreover, many domestic textile companies' understanding of Xinjiang cotton has remained stuck in many years ago.

The Xinjiang cotton incident is more like a catalyst, allowing the domestic textile industry to re-recognize Xinjiang cotton and JCIA.

The expected reduction in India's production capacity has eased external pressure and opened up market space.

The combination of the two factors has enabled Guannong and Yasheng shares, the main companies in cotton and sugar beet planting, to rise sharply one after another.

Within a few days, Qian Xiwen felt that everything had changed. His colleagues became more friendly and more people came to greet him.

"Brother Qian, you're awesome!"

"It has to be Brother Qian. I shouldn't have hesitated at the beginning."

"Brother Qian, is it too late to get in the car now? Will we get stuck halfway up the mountain?"

When he got off work, Zhu Yanni, a bank employee, also called him.

"Brother Qian, congratulations, you have made a lot of money recently. I will treat you to dinner tonight. Please give me some advice."

Qian Xiwen gladly accepted.

After dinner, the two went to see a movie together, but Zhu Yanni paid for the entire night, and Qian Xiwen didn't pay a penny.

Because he had no money.

All the money was invested in the stock market, but his wealth doubled within a few days. Zhu Yanni saw all this very clearly.

In the next few days, Qian Xiwen and Zhu Yanni went on many dates and talked about life one night.

Used to being thrifty, Qian Xiwen was very sensitive about money. He did a careful calculation that night and found that after he met Zhu Yanni, most of the money he spent was Zhu Yanni's. He was a bit stingy and basically didn't spend any money on Zhu Yanni.

Because they had no money and all their money was in the stock account, the two got back together.

Things seem a little simple and a little complicated. How come he has been single for almost thirty years?

It was not until many years later that he accidentally heard the saying "Money is for women to see, not to spend", and then he suddenly realized it.

In March, the Hexi Corridor enters the sowing season.

Guo Yang started his rural inspection again, still taking the familiar route. The several state-owned farms he passed by increased the planting of cotton and sugar beets this year.

The seeds used are all from Tianhe, and the land is from Yasheng Agricultural Reclamation.

For a moment, Guo Yang didn't know whether to say that the capital market reacted quickly or slowly.

The reaction was slow. As soon as the BBC reported the news, domestic institutions were like wolves smelling something and instantly pushed the stocks of Guannong, Xinnong, Yasheng and others to their daily limit.

What a quick response! Jiahe has been bringing up this matter for two months.

To put it bluntly, it’s still a lack of self-confidence.

Just like the clothing industry, there is a lack of cultural confidence, brand confidence, and industry confidence, which is reflected in the capital market as a lack of financial confidence.

amount……

Given the nature of A-shares, it is indeed difficult to have financial confidence.

But Guo Yang felt that changes were on the way.

The Xinjiang cotton incident brought out the domestic cotton brand.

In recent years, the JCIA Alliance has built a large number of high-quality cotton production and processing bases, and promoted the application of the JCIA national cotton standards: good varieties + good technology.

An integrated operation model is implemented in the high-quality cotton production link, and a "one factory, one product" closed-loop operation model is implemented in the processing link, so that a single variety is planted, harvested, rolled and batched separately to ensure the large-scale production of JCIA high-quality cotton.

The result is high-quality raw cotton with good consistency, low trash content and low trifilament content.

The quality of certified JCIA raw cotton has surpassed Australian cotton in all aspects.

At present, JCIA has more than 50 high-quality cotton production bases covering an area of ​​more than 300 million mu, more than 30 processing bases, and an annual output of more than 50 tons of JCIA cotton.

At the auction held by JCIA Cotton, high-quality cotton with a fiber length and specific strength of 30 or above is often sold out at a high price! 'Double 30' cotton refers to cotton with a fiber length and specific strength of 30.

It is also an important distinguishing mark of mid-to-high-end cotton.

Cotton will also be auctioned?

That's right!

Although high-quality cotton is not a scarce commodity, it is definitely a hot commodity in the market, and it is not uncommon to pay a higher price to grab cotton.

One of the reasons for the poor quality of cotton is the mixed varieties!

The key to JCIA's ability to produce good cotton lies in the cotton seeds!

Good cotton seeds benefit every link in the industrial chain, and the first step is to get cotton farmers to accept them.

However, today's Tianhe has solved this problem perfectly.

After years of promotion, Tianhe’s cotton seeds have repeated the same scene every year in the northwest.

Farmers want to see is to believe.

We can give you both Tianmian 20 and Tianzamian.

The Xinjiang cotton incident has made JCIA a household name among cotton farmers. The price of processed lint cotton can be hundreds or even thousands of yuan higher per ton, and it is often booked in advance by downstream companies.

From Jiuquan all the way to Dunhuang, Guo Yang heard too many wealth stories, and farmers bought houses and cars one after another.

There will be more scenes like this in Xinjiang.

At Dunhuang Farm, Guo Yang came to Fan Xuejun’s farm again. It had been many years since he last came here.

Fan Xuejun was one of the earliest farmers to plant Tianmian 20. He started his business from there and built a large farm with catering, accommodation and, of course, cotton planting.

Until this spring, Fan Xuejun was still planting cotton.

Guo Yang likes to chat with farmers, especially farmers like Fan Xuejun who have benefited from the Jiahe system, which makes Guo Yang feel a sense of accomplishment.

It was still a little chilly in the spring, so Fan Xuejun lit a charcoal fire outside the manor, and a group of people sat on the roadside chatting.

There is a farmland next to it, and a seeder is working. In one trip, film laying and sowing are all completed. There are drones for spraying pesticides, tillers for plowing, drip irrigation equipment for watering, and cotton pickers for harvesting. Basically, the whole process has been mechanized.

"For more than a thousand acres, we only need to hire a few people to look after the land."

Fan Xuejun said: "It's not tiring at all, but it takes a lot of thought and effort to grow good cotton. You have to know when to spray pesticides and how to mix water and fertilizer."

Guo Yang smiled and said: "Among the cotton farmers, people like you who have a strong sense of innovation, understand technology, and are good at management are the future of the cotton industry."

Fan Xuejun laughed and said, "Under Jiahe's leadership, there will be more and more people like this in the future."

Fan Xuejun is just a microcosm of Dunhuang Farm, and Dunhuang Farm is just one of the farms of Yasheng Agricultural Reclamation.

If we zoom out to the entire Northwest, there are thousands of such farms.

Dunhuang's agricultural production conditions are also changing. As the lower reaches of the Shule River and the Dang River, Dunhuang's agricultural production has always been restricted by water resources.

In recent years, with the water-saving and fallowing of crops in the upper reaches, agricultural production in Dunhuang has greatly improved.

In particular, the sufficient water supply, combined with human ecological management, has greatly improved Dunhuang's ecological environment.

With less erosion from wind and sand and more water resources, as well as high-quality seeds and technology, the yield of agricultural and economic crops in Dunhuang continues to rise.

At the same time, as the calls for the Hongqi River project grew louder and louder, the Dunhuang West Lake Wetland gradually received more attention.

By April and May, ripples had already appeared on the surface of the Dunhuang West Lake wetland and green grass had sprouted.

During this period, the ice and snow had not yet melted on a large scale, but the water from the Shule River and the Dang River could still flow into the West Lake wetland.

In addition, there are more and more submarine diving sites along the cracks in the earth's crust in the Qilian Mountains, and various springs can be seen everywhere in the wetlands.

By July and August, it can no longer be called a wetland, perhaps it should be called a "lake". The lush scene of water and grass seems to recreate the splendor of the Han and Tang Dynasties!
Dunhuang West Lake Wetland has become a media darling.

How is it formed? No, how to regain youth?

Many people began to delve deeper.

Jiahe's 300 billion yuan investment in the management of Dunhuang West Lake wetland project was mentioned again.

However, Jiahe did not intervene much in the wetland. Instead, it took many actions outside the wetland, such as building ancient river channels, practicing water-saving fallow, and building water conservation forests. During the rainy season, there was a significant increase in precipitation in the Shule River, Heihe River and Shiyang River basins, and the river water was surging.

The relevant departments also released several satellite images.

The map records the changes in the area of ​​Dunhuang West Lake. The wetland area continues to expand.

Once upon a time, mountains formed by crustal movement cut off the ancient path of the Shule River to Lop Nur.

Today, the ancient Shule River Road has been opened up by Jiahe, and the water of the Shule River flows forward again, flowing into the edge of the Kumtag Desert, outlining a long greenway, the end of which points to Lop Nur in the distance.

When seeing these pictures, the public’s call for Hongqi River became louder.

“It’s so close!”

"As long as the water from the Hongqi River is replenished, the Kumtag Desert, Lop Nur and Taklimakan Desert are expected to become oases!"

“It feels like the Northwest is much greener without the Hongqi River!”

"Jiahe is so terrifying~"

No one likes grass growing on their head, but people hope that the land under their feet will become greener and greener. In recent years, we have heard and seen more and more examples of this.

Jiuquan is green, the Hexi Corridor is green, the Loess Plateau is green, the Northwest is green...everywhere is green.

People are happy to see the improvement of the ecological environment, and people in this country also like to farm.

Thirty or forty years ago, every family had a small plot of land in front of and behind their house.

Even if you move into a high-rise building, as long as there is any vacant land around the community, it will be full of vegetables in a short time.

Even if you buy a villa with a garden, the garden can be converted into a vegetable garden.

This country's desire for land is engraved in its bones. It must be very painful to watch the vast tracts of land in the northwest become barren and lonely.

Now someone told him that if he only needed to repair a river, he could create countless more fine farmlands.

Then he has to help out!
The atmosphere was set.

Guo Yang also received a call from a senior leader again. "Public opinion is very high! Why doesn't Jiahe just let the water of Shule River flow directly to Lop Nur?"

Guo Yang said: "It's useless and a waste of water. Lop Nur cannot be saved by the Shule River."

"Isn't there still the Tarim River?"

"The Tarim River won't work either." Guo Yang pondered and said, "Leader, the opportunity to repair the Hongqi River should be here, right?"

"If you mean Ah San, then that's fine, but when it comes to territory, we can't be the first to break the rules. We have to look at the other side of the ocean."

The big boss paused, then said, "However, the project approval can be put on the agenda."

"it is good!"

Starting with the bioenergy forest, Hongqi River has gained economic and industrial support.

Later, in order to overcome the natural dangers, he set his sights on Asan, even at the cost of exposing his biggest secret.

Now, he finally got a positive reply, which proved that his choice was not wrong. Different people will make different choices, and he chose to maximize the benefits of the golden finger.

Within a few months, India's agricultural ecology completely collapsed, the country was in internal chaos, and the division of the states was imminent.

The country has finally made up its mind.

Guo Yang's mind became clear and he let go of his obsession in an instant.
