Developing the Northwest Starts with Seeds

Chapter 397: Turnip and Seabuckthorn Drink

Chapter 399 Turnip and Seabuckthorn Drink Zhu Xinli stayed in Jingning for two addition to a 500 million apple seedling order, Zhu Xinli also gave Guo Yang a gift: an order for 15 acres, a total of about 2000 million sea buckthorn seedlings. The price of sea buckthorn seedlings is temporarily set at 3 yuan per plant, which is 10 times the market price of yuan per plant. The total amount of these two orders reached 6500 million yuan. This is definitely a big deal for Huiyuan Holdings today. However, except for the two-year-old apple seedlings, which Huiyuan will pick up immediately, the pick-up time for sea buckthorn is set to start two years later. During this period, Huiyuan will look for a location to build a park. In two years, Jiahe not only has enough time to cultivate Huiyuan's seedlings, but also provides seedlings for its own development. After some discussion, Guo Yang did not intend to let Huiyuan pay the deposit for sea buckthorn seedlings in advance. This made Zhu Xinli extremely surprised, "Boss Guo, what does this mean?" "If Huiyuan doesn't want this batch of seedlings, Jiahe plans to plant them all by itself." Guo Yang said with a smile: "It's also a good relationship. If Huiyuan can't hold on one day, remember to contact Jiahe in advance."

Being looked down upon time and time again, Zhu Xinli wanted to be angry, but he couldn't muster the energy to do so. If the price had not been wrong, he would have sold Huiyuan Juice to Golden Harvest long ago. "Mr. Guo, just wait and see," Zhu Xinli said, "Huiyuan will surprise you." "Okay, I'll wait." Guo Yang agreed. No matter how Huiyuan develops, Jiahe will not suffer any loss. After reaching an agreement, Zhu Xinli left in a hurry. Huiyuan also chose to pick up the two-year-old Ruiyang apple seedlings from an apple base in Shandong Province, as the transportation distance is shorter. After Zhu Xinli left, Guo Yang found Qiao Hui and said, "It's time to expand the nursery." "We're already selecting a location, boss." Qiao Hui smiled. "If we only look at the number of orders, the seedlings in the nursery have already been sold out." "Now we just need to make a good handover," Guo Yang said. "Once Ruiyang is listed and its quality is recognized, we will have a steady stream of orders, but the profits will only be high in the first few years." Qiao Hui said: "In the long run, the nursery business can also make a little money." Guo Yang thinks Qiao Hui is too optimistic. But there shouldn’t be any loss. If Ruiyang can really become a hit, production areas all over the country will flock to it. It was not very realistic to hold on to this variety, so Guo Yang finally decided to make quick money. Anyway, he could cultivate another batch of new varieties by the end of the year. After a year, the seed store has accumulated more than 10,000 points of natural energy, and he has been thinking about which varieties to cultivate. There are also new varieties that have been cultivated in extreme environments in the past two years. It is time to take some time to see how they are performing now. That afternoon, Guo Yang left Jingning and returned to Lan City to visit his junior sister. I haven't asked about it for a long time, and I don't know how the research is going.

The terrain was full of gullies along the way. Just after climbing over the last hill, the Xanthoceras sorbifolia trees were shivering in the cold wind, and Qiao Hui called again. "Boss, Yu Huiyong from Baiguoyuan has also come to Jingning. Do you want to come back?" Qiao Hui asked cautiously. Guo Yang pondered and said, "I'm already in Yuzhong. Please receive me. I can buy seedlings, but not fruits." In the past two years, Yu Huiyong has also carried out drastic reforms on Baiguoyuan, stopping the absorption of franchise stores and buying back previous franchise stores. The control of the stores has once again returned to the hands of the company. At the same time, Yu Huiyong also put in a lot of effort upstream and began to establish the Baiguoyuan fruit production base. Therefore, Baiguoyuan has a demand for purchasing seedlings. Qiao Hui said: "Maybe I think more about the fruit." "You can just reject it directly, no need to show mercy." Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Baiguoyuan's fruit supermarket is in competition with Jiahe Supermarket and Aishangshenghuo. In addition, Baiguoyuan also has an online fruit supermarket." Qiao Hui was stunned. "Baiguoyuan also has an e-commerce platform?" "You are ignorant of this." Guo Yang joked, "The competition in the fruit e-commerce field is fierce. In addition to Baiguoyuan and , there is also , which is doing well." "Okay, I know what to do." Guo Yang could only say that Yu Huiyong had chosen the wrong target, as Jiahe could not possibly become the fruit supplier for Baiguoyuan. The other party might also know this, but still came. Guo Yang could only guess that the influence of exchanging five acres for a Mercedes-Benz was so great that Yu Huiyong was also attracted to Ruiyang. ... About an hour later, Guo Yang arrived at Quanwang's R&D center. He first came to Yu Qin's office, knocked on the open door, and then walked in. "Busy?" Yu Qin looked up and said with a smile: "I came to the office specially to wait for you. I had an appointment to meet a client." "It seems that the performance this year is good, and the customers dare to break the appointment." Guo Yang joked: "When the five acres for the big Mercedes was just released, you called me, but I didn't answer. Now tell me, what's the matter?" "It's okay!" Yu Qin looked bewildered, "I forgot about it." "Don't say I didn't give you a chance." Guo Yang glanced at him and said, "It seems that the King of All is really standing up this year." "It's time to achieve some results." Yu Qin stood up and prepared to make tea. "Stop soaking. Where is Lin Keqing at the Experimental Center of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences? I'll go see her." Guo Yang said. "I've been hanging out in the lab with Li Hui for this period of time. Why did the boss go to see Junior Sister as soon as he arrived?" Guo Yang glared at him and said, "I'm doing this for work. By the way, how is Yu Ze doing?" "The research and development is complete, and Jahwa is already contacting offline channels and promoting it." Yu Qin said with a smile, "In addition, Jahwa also plans to cooperate with Quanwang on the upgrade of several other brands. Boss, is the acquisition a sure thing now?" Guo Yang said: "Ping An has not given up. I heard that Fosun Pharma is also interested in Jiahua. There may be other competitors, so there is still a little suspense." Yu Qin understood, "It seems that Yu Ze will have to deliver the final blow."

"Indeed, Yuze is a crucial link." Guo Yang waved and walked out of the office. Yu Qin looked down at the carefully prepared performance report on the desk and could only smile bitterly and put it aside. Guo Yang arrived at the laboratory door with familiarity and put on a white coat. He looked into the laboratory through the glass on the door, but saw no one. Thinking that no one was there, he gently opened the door. As a result, a person just jumped out from behind the door. "Ah...Wow..." "Um?!" Guo Yang was also startled out of nowhere. After seeing clearly, he realized that the person in front of him was Lin Keqing. "Fuck, Junior Sister, why did you suddenly come out from behind the door?" Lin Keqing patted his chest, rolled his eyes, and said, "I was just about to ask you, you're sneaking around and making no sound at all." "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Li Hui also ran out of the laboratory in a white coat, "The boss is here!" Guo Yang wondered, "I looked out the window just now and didn't see anyone." "Just knock on the door." Lin Keqing slowed down and muttered. Guo Yang was also a little embarrassed. Lin Keqing's scream just now was as if her soul was leaving her body, which showed that she was really scared. Even now, his face turned pale. Guo Yang asked: "Are you okay?" "It's okay, I'm going to the bathroom." After saying that, Lin Keqing left. Guo Yang entered the laboratory and learned about various experiments on plants and Chinese medicinal materials. On a table, there were reagents of various colors. Li Hui said, "Boss, do you want to try it?" "Is this a drink? A beverage?" Seeing Li Hui nod, Guo Yang was really shocked. He looked at the drink again and again, "Is this drinkable?" "Yes, but it hasn't been purified, so it doesn't look good." Li Hui said as a matter of course. Guo Yang asked: "Did Xiao Lin drink this stuff just now, so he has a stomachache?" "may be." "..." "Some are really good, like this, a functional drink made from sea buckthorn and a variety of Chinese medicinal herbs." Guo Yang just shook his head.

"This is a compound juice of black wolfberry and sea buckthorn." Guo Yang took a look and found that the color was a little yellow and a little black, which made him feel a little disgusted. "No." "This is OK, Stevia and Sea Buckthorn Drink." "never mind." "This is pretty good. It's a mixture of sea buckthorn, fresh carrots, and tomatoes. It tastes great." "..." Guo Yang felt a little nervous, and no matter how much Li Hui invited him to try, he was full of resistance. "Is there any Thorny White?" “I can mix it on the spot.” "No, just go get me the packaged finished product." Guo Yang said firmly, leaving no room for doubt. "alright." Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief only after Li Hui left. To be honest, he was a little afraid of Li Hui. Over the past few years, the person who left the deepest impression on him in the Quanwang research team was this woman. He has a somewhat cold personality and is not very worldly-wise. He is well-versed in toxicology, pharmacology, and biology. He was one of the first researchers to conquer poisonous weeds such as bitterwort and ice wolf grass, and is nicknamed the 'deadly poisoner'. Guo Yang was really worried about drinking something he shouldn't. After waiting for a while, Lin Keqing came back first. Seeing that Guo Yang was the only one in the laboratory, she asked, "Where is Sister Hui?" "I'm going to take Ji Xiaobai." "Brother, are you thirsty?" Lin Keqing's eyes lit up and he said, "Come, try the drink I mixed myself. It should be considered a success." Guo Yang waved his hand, "No, I'm scared just looking at it!" "Come on." Lin Keqing said with a smile, "After more than ten days of experiments, the results have just come out. Brother, you came at the right time." "I can't drink this just by looking at it." Guo Yang was still very resistant. "Hey, I thought it was something wrong. We didn't add pectinase to clarify the juice in order to avoid losing the effective ingredients. That's why it looks cloudy." Lin Keqing took a disposable cup and poured a cup of the prepared juice. "Try this, the recipe I am most satisfied with is the turnip and sea buckthorn compound drink. It uses Qinghai turnip as the raw material, and the combination with sea buckthorn has extremely high nutritional value." Guo Yang took a look at it. It was bright yellow, shiny, uniform in color, and transparent. It looked much better in appearance. “Can it really taste good?” "Are you afraid that I will harm you?" Lin Keqing smiled and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing it, he turned the cup upside down to show that there was not a drop left. “It’s delicious.”

Lin Keqing seemed to be unsatisfied. "If I hadn't drunk too much, I would like another drink." Guo Yang: "Then give it a try?" "Try it, it can't go wrong." As he said that, Lin Keqing took another paper cup, filled it up, and handed it over. Guo Yang took it skeptically and found that the color and texture were indeed much better than other drinks. When I smelled it, I found that the sea buckthorn had a strong scent, with a moderate amount of turnip flavor, and the fragrance was harmonious. He took a light taste and found it better than he expected, with a harmonious taste and unique flavor. "How is it, brother?" Lin Keqing looked expectant. Guo Yang smiled, gave a thumbs up, and then drank the turnip and sea buckthorn compound drink in one gulp. "Ji Xiaobai brought it." Li Hui walked in and happened to see Guo Yang drinking it all in one gulp, while Lin Keqing opposite him stared at him without blinking. This picture is so beautiful. "This this……" After hesitating for a while, Li Hui said, "Boss, Ji Xiaobai, do you want it or not? You probably don't want it... Then I'll drink it later... By the way, shouldn't I be here?" "What are you talking about!" Lin Keqing's cheeks also turned a little red, and she said, "Mr. Guo just tried the turnip and sea buckthorn drink, and he also said it tasted great." Li Hui murmured, "I just treated the boss to some turnip and seabuckthorn." "what?" "But he didn't drink it. Not only did Turnip and Seabuckthorn not drink it, but the others also looked disgusted." "That." Guo Yang interrupted, "I didn't look at them one by one just now, and I didn't expect that there was such a good formula mixed in it." "Actually, they are all pretty good." Lin Keqing said, "The King of All has collected hundreds of beverage recipes, some of which have extremely high nutritional value, which is really amazing." Guo Yang was surprised, "So many? Why haven't you used them?" "Most formulas may be inferior in color and texture." Lin Keqing glanced at Li Hui and said, "Ji Xiaobai is an exception." Guo Yang asked: "Is there any way to improve it?" "Of course." Lin Keqing straightened his chest and pointed at himself, "I'm here to do this job, Zhongquan Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Center." Guo Yang almost forgot about this. There is also a Coca-Cola research center and a medical experimental center. “Turnip sea buckthorn is one of the results.” Lin Keqing said: "Turnip extract has the effects of anti-hypoxia, anti-fatigue, and lowering blood lipids. It is known as the "plateau ginseng", but its taste is sweet with a special spicy smell, and the taste is poor when eaten directly. Sea buckthorn fruit generally tastes sour and astringent, and there are relatively few types of products that have been developed and utilized, making market expansion difficult. At the same time, both have high nutritional and edible value, and have high value for beverage development. By combining the two, the unique fragrance of seabuckthorn and the spicy smell of turnip will become a special compound beverage. " Lin Keqing's pretty face turned, "Isn't it great, Senior Brother? It's worth it to set up a joint research center with us, right?" Guo Yang looked at Lin Keqing's pretty and rosy cheeks, and was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.

"Not only did we not lose money, we made a lot of money." Guo Yang said: "This should also be considered a functional beverage, and it can be made into a product." "Boss." Li Hui suddenly said, "The functional beverage laboratory already has another key research and development direction." "Oh?" "It's a compound fruit juice drink made from sea buckthorn and banana. Mr. Yu also knows that Ji Xiaobai will probably release related products in the future." Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, realizing that it was very likely that the banana variety he bred himself had borne fruit. "What about the turnip buckthorn?" Li Hui said: "As a plateau specialty compound drink, it is quite good. Turnip has the effect of resisting hypoxia and is very helpful for plateau operations." Guo Yang nodded. The turnip is still too spicy. Even with the sea buckthorn to neutralize it, the taste is still inferior to the products on the market. But as a drink for plateau areas, it can first solve the problems of plateau glacier operations within Jiahe, and it can also promote it, which is the best result. ... The autumn evening breeze was a little chilly, and Guo Yang and Lin Keqing were strolling along the bank of the Yellow River. "How was your stay in Lan City for the past half month?" "It's going well." "Oh, how about life?" "I just eat and drink after get off work every day!" "No wonder you look a lot rosier." "If you can't speak, don't speak." "..." "You really won't tell me anymore?" "I didn't say you were fat, I said you were rosy." "Forget it, you'd better stop talking." After a moment of silence, someone asked again: "Have you been busy for the past half month?" "Yes, I never stopped. I visited all the cities from the Hexi Corridor to Longdong. I learned about the local conditions, specialties, natural conditions, and difficulties faced by each city. There were many problems, but generally speaking, they were not bad and could be solved. For example, Huan County has harsh conditions, but it has also produced unique small grains. This time, we will also go to Weilai’s fields, and the locals are also happy to accept e-commerce..." Lin Keqing followed silently. When talking about work, this person is like having a different mouth. His thinking is sharp, his ideas are clear, his logic is rigorous, and his language is more humorous. ...

Zhao Pingyuan is the general manager of . He worked at Fulinmen Edible Oil Company for 8 years and was transferred back to the Beijing headquarters two years ago to join the innovative brand management department of the group. Just as domestic e-commerce was showing its potential, Zhao Pingyuan proposed an innovative plan to establish e-commerce. After the plan was approved, Zhao Pingyuan started an internal business. was born. That day, Ning Gaoning came to Zhao Pingyuan and asked, "When will my online shopping website catch up with Jiahe's " With just one sentence, Zhao Pingyuan was almost stunned. "Chairman, is the earliest national e-commerce platform for agricultural and sideline products. Its tentacles have spread to every corner, and its leading advantage is too great." "Where are the NIO fields?" Ning Gaoning asked. “No.” Zhao Pingyuan pondered and said, “Although has started subsidies, the delivery range is still limited to Beijing. Although Weilai Tianjian was established not long ago, it has accumulated many loyal customers on . For food e-commerce companies, if the experience of buying rice, noodles, oil and other foods related to daily meals is good once, the repurchase rate will be very high.” Ning Gaoning said with a straight face, "Increase promotional publicity. I can remember the 'Double Eleven promotion, half price and free shipping' on Weilai Tian, ​​but how many people remember the promotion on my shopping website?" "Yes." After leaving Director Ning’s office, Zhao Pingyuan wiped away the non-existent sweat. launched a discount promotion as soon as it went online, which indeed attracted a lot of traffic. Therefore, the subsidy was increased and the activity time was extended. But who would have thought that NIO Tianjian would launch a Double Eleven promotion, offering half-price and free shipping on all items. One can imagine how tempting this is to online shoppers. He seemed to smell the same scent, the usual tactics from Jiahe Grain and Oil's price war. Hangzhou, Alibaba. Xiaoyaozi Zhang Yong looked at NIO’s Double Eleven promotional advertisement thoughtfully. "This is a good idea. Should Taobao also have one? The combination with Weibo is also very interesting. I think I need to talk to Jack about it." Beijing. Sina's editor-in-chief Chen Tong has been in charge of the product development department recently. Compared with NIO's Weibo, Sina's functions have many incomplete features. This is a congenital deficiency. Moreover, it has lost its first-mover advantage in the competition for celebrity resources. Although NIO may seem a bit rustic, its user base is substantial and its user activity is high. As the celebrity effect takes effect and the number of users increases, the word "rustic" will gradually disappear. Chen Tong felt under tremendous pressure.

During this period, I have been urging various departments, including product development, to work overtime every day. Who would dare to leave if they don't work until 12 o'clock at night? It was late at night again that day. "Mr. Chen, there is another potential hotspot at NIO!" In the office, people who were getting ready to leave work suddenly became nervous. Something strange happened at this time. Damn it! They were really like working like slaves! Chen Tong also raised his eyebrows, "Let me see, Hongqi River Project, what is this?" "It's an article in Agricultural Economics. An academician organized a team to conduct a preliminary survey and gave an academic report at Shuimu University. It was posted online." Someone replied. "Oh, it's something about agriculture again. It's normal that it's popular in a small area in NIO, after all, there are many bumpkins there." Chen Tong waved his hand indifferently and ignored this post. "Let's get off work. It's already 12 o'clock." However, within just one night, discussions about the Hongqi River project appeared in major forums. (End of this chapter)
