Chapter 413 Overseas; Mentality Change; Spiritual Flame After a small discussion, Gao De and Miao Yifeng became more we have long known that crop rotation and fallow is the general direction, we did not expect the intensity to be so great suddenly, from 600 million mu to 6000 million mu, which is a tenfold leap. In addition to more than one million mu of groundwater funnel areas, rocky desertification, and heavy metal pollution areas, there are more than ten million mu of ecological degradation areas. The rest are in the main grain-producing areas, accounting for two-thirds, or more than 40 million mu. Although these 40 million mu of land are low-yield fields such as saline-alkali soil and compacted land, the pressure of reducing grain production they bring is still enormous. Most institutions and grain traders believe that internal circulation in China can maintain grain balance, and the role of grain imports and exports will undergo a third change in just a few years. From importing grain to fill the food gap, to exporting corn to absorb excess production capacity, and then to the upcoming import and export of grain, which only plays a role in regulating the market. This view has become the mainstream. Based on this, a view has emerged within Jiahe Grain and Oil that external grain channels can be temporarily suspended and priority should be given to optimizing domestic grain logistics channels. Therefore, Jiahe Grain and Oil opposed Jiahe International’s construction of the Beibu Gulf Port. According to their original idea, there should not be an investment project in Beibu Gulf Port, but since it was decided by the big boss, no one could object.

You can only try to control your investment. The investment in three 10-ton berths only requires several hundred million yuan, while the cost of a 15-ton berth will increase significantly, and the total investment may reach more than billion yuan. The money saved can be used to optimize domestic grain logistics and accomplish a lot. Gao De and Miao Yifeng both thought so at first, but their views have now completely changed. The momentum for a substantial increase in domestic grain production is still there, and Tianhe Seed Industry, which suffered the greatest losses in crop rotation and fallow, still maintains strong momentum! Looking at the long term, once the effects of crop rotation and fallow begin to appear, the fertility of arable land will improve and grain production will also increase. Pushing the chair back to its original position, Gao De looked at Yan Qun and invited him, "Mr. Yan, come sit down with us and have a chat." Yan Qun probably guessed what this person was thinking. He was in charge of Tianhe's seed production and he was also the lead in all seed production plans. This person probably wanted to know the trend of the production area next year. After pondering for a moment, Yan Qun said, "How about we go to the seed factory together and talk while we walk?" Gao De smiled and said, "That would be the best. Come to think of it, I've been in Jiahe for so long, but I've never been to the seed production base and factory. I'm really ashamed. How about not bothering two people with one thing and asking Mr. Yan to teach me something today?" “It’s not about giving advice, it’s about exchanging ideas and learning from each other.” Guo Yang, who was still sitting in his seat, also heard the conversation between the two and interrupted, "You can contact Bi Qiang and ask him to arrange someone to go with you." Yan Qun agreed with a smile. Miao Yifeng also said at this time: "I will go and learn from you too." "Okay." Guo Yang turned around and looked at Qu Yang who was still sitting on the sofa drinking tea, "Do you want to go too?" "I won't go." Qu Yang replied. "Okay, then stay in the office and have tea." Guo Yang also wanted to know Tianhe's achievements overseas this year. Tianhe’s domestic seed business has basically entered a period of stable growth. The corn planting area has been declining sharply, limiting the upper limit. The market share of Tianyu No. 1 has also reached a bottleneck and its price is also falling. Even though a series of mergers and acquisitions covered all domestic corn seed markets, the corn seed business has been declining.

Fortunately, the growth of businesses such as soybeans, wheat, vegetables, flowers, and sunflowers has also driven the overall revenue to resume its growth trend. But if you want to make a big breakthrough, there are only two directions. One is the energy forest seedlings and fruit tree seedlings that are highly anticipated, and the other is going overseas. Qu Yang's recent work focus is mainly in North America and South America. Three or four years ago, Tianhe sent several employees to the United States to establish a breeding station in Illinois, and Guo Yang had also visited there. Qu Yang said: "Two corn hybrids from the North American breeding station have passed commercial testing this year and will be available on the market next year. The South American seed research and development platform has just been established, and an international consulting agency has been commissioned to find a suitable acquisition target." Guo Yang nodded, "Are there any clues?" Qu Yang smiled and said: "Dow AgroSciences' corn seed business in Brazil may be sold. The target assets include R&D bases, production bases, and an extensive dealer network. Last year's annual revenue was approximately US$ million. Its R&D center also has a germplasm resource bank with more than 14000 breeding materials, which are suitable for planting in tropical and subtropical regions such as South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. After the acquisition is completed, it will be conducive to the gradual exchange of breeding materials at home and abroad." This is a high-quality integrated breeding, production and promotion enterprise. Guo Yang asked in surprise: "Why would Dow AgroSciences be sold?" "I don't know." Qu Yang shook his head and said, "This is information provided by the consulting company." Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of the merger of Dow Chemical and DuPont. Could it be that there are signs now? "Whatever, just get in touch with him first." The conversation with Qu Yang lasted until noon, and Guo Yang also had a general understanding of the situation of the overseas seed business. The best development has to be in Africa. The seed business in several East African countries has been launched, with corn, rice and wheat performing well. Yu Honghai also established grain and fruit industrial parks near Matadi and Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The biggest problem is the lack of fertilizer, followed by political instability. The most conflicts are in the mining areas in the east. An oil palm industrial park is also being planned in Equatoria Province, and the first sapling has been planted. After nearly three years, we have achieved this result, which is in line with our goal. However, in the next period of time, Tianhe will focus on breeding, production and sales in North and South America, with the goal of improving performance. The second is to obtain as many local germplasm gene resources as possible, which will facilitate subsequent breeding. In addition, Guo Yang will not interfere in breeding in America. Instead, Tianhe’s own scientific research system will be responsible for cultivating the crops and participating in market competition. In this way, the country can always maintain its advantage in yield. As New Year’s Day approaches, the company is filled with a festive atmosphere again. Guo Yang, Qu Yang and Qi Ziwen could feel the festive atmosphere everywhere on the way to the restaurant, and today's lunch was also much richer. After dinner, Qu Yang and he left first, while Guo Yang and Qi Ziwen walked slowly towards the office. "Xiao Qi, there shouldn't be anything to do on New Year's Day, so you can take a break and go home."

In Guo Yang's memory, Qi Ziwen had never had much rest, and it just so happened that he also planned to take a break on New Year's Day. Qi Ziwen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it's time to go back." "Where are you from?" "From northern Shaanxi." "Then you must promote Ruiyang to your fellow villagers when you go back. You should know how this apple variety performs, right?" "Okay." "By the way, there is one more thing. What stage has the aerial photography project reached in preparation?" Guo Yang suddenly asked. Qi Ziwen pondered and said, "This matter may be a bit troublesome. After Fu Qiuyan and CCTV Documentary Channel Director Jin Wei communicated, the other party was not very interested. They collaborated with the BBC on a similar aerial documentary called "Beautiful China," which premiered last year, and have no plans to make another one for now." The response to Beautiful China was also very good, but it only had six episodes in total. "Rich South China", "South of the Colorful Clouds", "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", "Beyond the Great Wall", "Dragon's Territory", and "Noisy Coast". A total of 26 provincial administrative regions in the country were involved, and it took four years to complete the production. Guo Yang has not seen this documentary, but he believes that it does not conflict with the establishment of a new project at all! Chinese culture is extensive and profound, so it is no problem for one province to have an episode of exciting content! Although his original intention was to use aerial documentaries to enrich the ecological content of and promote aerial photography drones, he thought of aerial photography of China at that time. But it is not limited to this. Aerial photography of the Northwest, agriculture, desert environment management, etc. are also possible considerations. But now CCTV is not interested, and he can't figure out what went wrong. Arriving at the door of the office, Qi Ziwen let Guo Yang go in first before following him in and said, "Mr. Fu is leading the Propaganda Department to discuss whether to undertake the production themselves or continue to find someone to cooperate with." Guo Yang stood by the window and looked out, saying: "If it is a large-scale aerial documentary, like taking aerial photos of every province in the country, CCTV will still have to take action. In some places, the Propaganda Department, the Military Commission, the Air Traffic Control, etc., this must be done from top to bottom in order for it to work. In addition, there are also directing, writing, photography, editing, narration, music, data editing and other links. This is an extremely huge project. Do you think the current Golden Harvest Publicity Department has the ability to do this?" How should I answer this? Qi Ziwen was choked. If he answered yes, he would be pretentious. If he answered no, that would not be appropriate either… "Forget it." Guo Yang thought for a while and said, "Golden Harvest should plan another documentary with a smaller geographical scope. I'll ask if there's a chance to shoot aerial photography of China." "Okay, Boss, I'll go back to my workstation if nothing else." Guo Yang waved his hand, stood in front of the window for a while, and then returned to his seat to take a short rest. Then the busy afternoon began again. Occasionally, I would browse the news online, chat with Lin Keqing, or get up and take a walk.

After having dinner in the cafeteria and returning to the villa, Guo Yang hummed a song while slowly changing into his jersey and sneakers. When Luo Xiu saw him, he asked in surprise: "Boss, are you going to play basketball?" "Let's go play together?" Guo Yang said, "Today I saw that the gymnasium has started construction. When it is completed next year, we will organize a competition for the employees." "Boss, you are definitely the champion." “What if I don’t play?” "It's just so boring to watch." "So you need to practice more!" Guo Yang patted Luo Xiu's shoulder, "Let's go, change clothes, I'll wait for you." "Row." Guo Yang also went back to his room and got some clothes to put on, and then put on the standard suit for Jiahe's grassroots employees: a long black down jacket. Suddenly it wasn't so cold anymore. After Luo Xiu had changed, the two drove to the indoor basketball court in Jiayuguan. After warming up, they started shooting hoops and occasionally played one-on-one. Luo Xiu was not very skilled, but he had good physical fitness, so Guo Yang was unable to gain much advantage. Anyway, neither of them could make the shot. Commonly known as chickens pecking at each other. After a hearty duel, Guo Yang joked, "We should all go back and see Happy Farm." "Haha... I'm such a sucker." Luo Xiu laughed, "I know this, but I don't know how to play anyway!" Guo Yang used his palm and wrist to hold the ball and pretended to throw it at Luo Xiu. In his previous life, when he was playing basketball and joking with his friends, he liked to use this move to scare people, but the ball never went out. However, Luo Xiu was obviously stunned, and the ball stopped about 10 cm away from Luo Xiu's face. Guo Yang exclaimed, "Luo Xiu, aren't you afraid that I will hit you in the face?" Luo Xiu just woke up from his dream, and his face quickly returned to normal. But Guo Yang noticed the change in his eyes at that moment, "You don't think I'm really angry, do you? I'm just joking with you!" Luo Xiu smiled awkwardly. At that moment he did think that she might be angry, but now it seems that is obviously not the case. "No, no, I just didn't react." "Hey, it's boring." Guo Yang slapped the basketball on the floor with his right hand, making a loud clacking sound. He had just seen Luo Xiu pick up on his joke, so he wanted to continue teasing Luo Xiu, otherwise it would be so boring for two grown men to be together. But I didn't expect Luo Xiu to be such a boring person. Well, this is someone else's job. At this moment, he realized how miserable it was to be alone, and he did not want to be alone. Luo Xiu was a little annoyed at the moment, but there was nothing he could do, as that was his brain's instinctive thought. Looking at Guo Yang dribbling the ball, he also thought that maybe he didn't need to be so rigid in private.

The two returned to the villa with their own thoughts. Guo Yang went upstairs to wash up. Warm water gushed out from the shower head. Guo Yang brushed his hair back from his forehead with both hands, and his thoughts flowed. What is the point of working so hard? There is no one around him who he can get close to. Even Luo Xiu, who is always by his side, can be trusted, but he is treated with more respect. Revitalize China? He tortured himself in his heart, wondering if he could say with a clear conscience that he was working to revitalize China when the reporter asked him why he worked so hard. After thinking for a long time, he felt that it was possible. Improve saline-alkali land, vigorously develop alfalfa industry to drive the upgrading of dairy quality, crack down on seed counterfeiting, prevent wind and sand control and control deserts, protect the domestic soybean camp, promote biological pesticides to reduce pesticide residues, ensure food security, turn the Gobi Desert into an oasis... the more I think about it, the more confident I feel! When others laugh at him, he will fight back with a serious face. But in this process, we should also try our best to make up for some regrets from past and present lives. For example, the Chinese national football team... Hey, why should I make myself uncomfortable? I should just think about something serious. Being interrupted by his own thoughts, Guo Yang didn't know what to make up for for a moment, so he just followed his heart. After washing up, Guo Yang sat in front of the computer and planned to watch some videos on . However, he saw a message on his mobile phone after sitting down for a while. At a glance, it was a message from Lin Keqing half an hour ago, "Brother, are you going back to Wuwei on New Year's Day?" Guo Yang: Hui people are hardworking, but they can pass through Wuwei. Lin Keqing: I also want to go back to Wuwei, and then bring some local specialties back to Beijing to visit my great-grandfather. How about we have a meal in Wuwei, I’ll treat you. Guo Yang: No problem. I will bring something for the old man then. Lin Keqing: Then we’ll make an appointment, the night before New Year’s Day. Guo Yang: OK. Holding the phone in both hands, Guo Yang didn't know what to talk about, and the other party didn't send any more messages. He had complicated feelings towards Lin Keqing. My first impression of the rooftop farm was good, and subsequent contacts were also good. But when I later found out that the leaders above were deliberately trying to bring us together, I felt a little sour. I didn't expect that the leader's joke was not really a joke. He would occasionally speculate that the higher-ups might have guessed that there was something special about him, after all, Jiahe had produced so many abnormal seeds. Alfalfa No. 1, Tianyu series, Tiandou series, Tianmai series, and even the current energy tree species... Although everything seems reasonable under the arrangement of the seed store, it is not ruled out that someone may notice clues. So he won't go abroad easily now. But it is also possible that he was overthinking it. What if the leader just wanted to arrange a marriage and contribute to the revitalization of China? Just as Guo Yang was daydreaming, Lin Keqing's message came again. "What are you doing?" Guo Yang didn't think much about it, and subconsciously wanted to reply that he was in a daze, but he stopped when he was about to click send.

I suddenly thought to myself, if I send this message, how will others respond? It's not like the two of them haven't chatted before, and both of them have taken the initiative, but the conversation usually ends after a short while. Sometimes I don’t know what to do, and then after a long time or when I’m disturbed, I forget about it. After hesitating for a while, Guo Yang deleted these words again. What was he wanting to do just now? Oh, watch the video. What videos to watch? Guo Yang thought for a moment before replying, "I'm going to watch a documentary, Beautiful China." On the other side, Lin Keqing sent a message saying "What are you doing?" and then stared at his phone and waited. Just when he thought Guo Yang was doing something else, the message came. Beautiful China? Lin Keqing was excited for a moment. She had just watched this film recently and it was one of her favorite documentaries. All of a sudden, all kinds of images appeared in her mind. From the brightly lit metropolis to the remote mountains and forests; From the vast grasslands to the desert Gobi; From the high mountains covered with snow all year round to the endless plains; From the vast land to the blue sea and sky... But if she sends this text, there will definitely be no response as usual. After hesitating for a while, she finally sent an ordinary text with a question at the end. "I just happened to watch it. It's a pretty good documentary. Which episode do you like best?" After waiting for a while, she saw that the other party didn't reply, so she sent another message. "I think the best places to take photos are in the south of the colorful clouds, especially the Asian wild elephants and golden monkeys in Yunnan. They are well-behaved and obedient, unlike the monkeys in Mount Emei who would snatch bags and beat people." Which episode do you like? He hasn't even seen it! Guo Yang patted his face with his left hand and said, "I told you to be smart. Why don't you say five acres for a Mercedes-Benz?" But on second thought, Lin Keqing might not have seen five acres in exchange for a Mercedes-Benz. After thinking for a moment, Guo Yang sent two messages in succession. "I'm just going to watch it tonight. Golden Harvest also has an aerial photography project. I plan to learn from the successful experience of BBC and CCTV." "Ha, you were also beaten by the monkeys in Mount Emei?" Guo Yang remembered another sentence and sent it out. "Sure enough, every time a well-behaved monkey appears, my cousin from Mount Emei will be cyberbullied." Lin Keqing: Hahaha, does Emeishan cousin refer to the Emeishan monkeys? Guo Yang: Just a nickname, just a nickname. Lin Keqing: This is so interesting. This sentence is also very interesting and vivid. Hahahaha… Guo Yang also smiled gently. Thanks to his cousin from Mount Emei, the two of them talked for a long time this time. One had his bag snatched away by a monkey.

One was hit on the head with a peanut shell by a monkey. In the middle, he also interspersed some views on aerial photography. While chatting, Guo Yang also looked for the source of the film on his computer, but he couldn't find it... Fortunately, I have my cousin in Mount Emei. He is also familiar with Asian elephants. When the Asian elephants from Yunnan migrated north collectively, it was during the epidemic. He was bored at home, so he would follow the updates of the elephant herd on the Internet every day. There were also reporters following the real-time reports, and even a documentary was made about it, "All the Way to the North". He has also watched "Aerial China". The two chatted about these things for a long time, and finally fell asleep after saying good night to each other. The days just passed by. ... The day before New Year's Day, Guo Yang got up very early. After arriving at the company, he found that there was no one there. He was so angry that he immediately called Xie Shijie and asked, "Where are the oranges I wanted?" "Huh?" Xie Shijie woke up immediately, "Hasn't he arrived yet? I'll call and ask right away." After a while, Guo Yang understood the situation. The journey was long, and it was winter and they had to travel in the dark, so the car couldn't go fast. But they were already very close, and it would take more than an hour. At this time, Guo Yang's anger subsided, and he even began to worry about Yang Xu's personal safety. It was not until now that he learned that in order to bring back the truckload of Lingyan oranges on time, Yang Xu had specially detoured from Guizhou Province to Sichuan Province. Prior to that, he had been assisting in the application for desertification projects in Guizhou Province. And Yang Xu also knew that he was going to give the spiritual flame to someone else. But there was no way to worry. Guo Yang didn't want to call again, for fear that calling Yang Xu would make him even more anxious. So I had to go back to the office, turn on the air conditioner, sit on the chair, and couldn't fall asleep, so I just looked through my work records and plans. After reading it all, I found that there were probably only two things that he was most concerned about in the whole month of January. One is the New Year Goods Festival of , and the relevant financing funds were finally in place before New Year's Day. Before the financing, a 10% option pool was reserved for the management, and then 30% of the shares were released, raising US$ billion. Guo Yang had previously thought of using most of this money for the New Year Festival. But time was too tight, only a dozen days, and it was the Spring Festival travel season, so the transportation pressure was very high, so the New Year Goods Festival was cancelled and replaced by channel and user subsidies. At the same time, expand product category promotion, and further expand and optimize warehousing and logistics. The video section and NIO Weibo are also products of Huinong Company. This time, it plans to develop both computer and mobile phone APPs at the same time. NIO has increased its investment in publicity and promotion on Weibo, taking the opportunity to compare the thickness of wallets before Sina Weibo raises funds. The video is mainly used to subsidize UP hosts, as well as invest in ecological content such as aerial photography. There is also a live broadcast development...

In short, it's just burning money. It would be a waste if the investors' money is not burned. The second thing is that Jahwa Group will complete its listing announcement for one month at the end of the month, end registration, and enter the qualification review stage, but the review will be very quick. As expected, there are only four companies currently participating: Jiahe, Ping An's Pingpu Investment, Fosun Group, and HNA Commercial. If there are four companies bidding, Guo Yang believes that even if Jiahe bids at the reserve price, the Jahwa Group will still be in Jiahe's pocket. As time goes by, user feedback on the Yuze brand is getting better and better. Guo Yang did not explore the specific data, but he and Yu Qin and Quan Wang's research and development team could all feel the urgency of Ge Wenyao, Wang Zhuo and Chen Zhicheng. From time to time he would receive greetings from Ge Wenyao. Even Lin Keqing occasionally revealed to him these past few days that Chen Zhicheng, the person in charge of the Yuze brand, flew to Lan City every few days. This already explains the problem. Just when he was full of confidence, the phone suddenly rang. It was Yang Xu. "Boss, I'll be downstairs at the company soon." (End of this chapter)
