Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 304
"You are not in good health, so you should rest more. I see that you students are more capable than the other. You can just listen to their reports in Yangling, and you don't have to go all the way to check for yourself!" On the plane, Li Lei kept talking Persuading Zhao Hongzhang, in the original history, Mr. Zhao left at the beginning of this year, but because of Li Lei's intervention, he discovered his illness in advance and started treatment, so Mr. Zhao is still here, but he is old after all, and his health is still worse than previous years. .

"These students are indeed good, but they are still lacking in experience. I am a little worried just to come and see. This is farming, which is different from other industries. You can't do it if you don't go to the field to see!" Mr. Zhao had a smile on his face, but his attitude was very firm.

Li Lei had no choice but to arrange his travel meals and lodging more comfortably so that he would not suffer from illness due to the exhaustion of his travels; when the plane landed at Diwopu Airport, a group of people came out from the exit and met Acquaintances, Zhao Hongzhang looked at an old lady in front of him who looked familiar, so he called out tentatively, "Xiao Wu?"

An old lady in her sixties with still dark hair turned her head, and when she saw Mrs. Zhao, she immediately showed a surprised look, "Hey, Commissioner Zhao, are you here on a business trip to XJ?"

"Several students have set up a drought-resistant and cold-resistant wheat breeding experiment field in XJ. I'm here to see their results! Xiao Wu, you just came back from Hainan?" Mr. Zhao stepped forward and shook hands with her while helping to introduce, "Xiao Wu Li, let me introduce you. This is Mingzhu Wu, a researcher at the Institute of Horticultural Crops, XJ Academy of Agricultural Sciences. She and her team have made outstanding contributions to the breeding of watermelon, cantaloupe and other melons; Xiao Wu, this is Hui Li Lei, the chairman of the Agricultural Group, and Xiao Li helped me build this experimental field!"

I have heard the name of Grandma Watermelon for a long time. Chinese people can eat cheap and delicious watermelon, which is inseparable from the contribution of this future academician. Wu Mingzhu is over 60 years old this year, but in front of Mr. Zhao, who is over 70 years old, Still had to be called Xiao Wu, Li Lei hurried forward to shake hands, "Hello, Researcher Wu, I really like the Huozhou No. [-] and Yixuan watermelon you bred! I have heard of your name for a long time. I wanted to visit you when I was in XJ, and you went to Hainan twice, since I met you this time, I will definitely pay a visit and thank you.”

XJ winter is too cold to carry out breeding work, so in order to better breed watermelon and cantaloupe, Wu Mingzhu will go to Hainan every winter to do research; in the field of breeding, this is a common thing, Li Denghai and Yuan Lao She will also go to Hainan in winter. Judging by her appearance, she should have just returned from Hainan.

"Oh, you are Chairman Li. If you want to say thank you, I have to thank you. The computer and breeding auxiliary software you donated have helped us a lot!" Wu Mingzhu also thanked repeatedly. Li Lei went to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences before When the Institute of Horticultural Crops visited her, they did not go empty-handed. They also brought a bunch of condolences, computers and other equipment, some of which were allocated to Wu Mingzhu.

"It should be, oh, yes, I brought some slow-release fertilizers over this time, and you can use them at that time. If you have any comments, please let us know. We also want to research cheaper and better results. Special slow-release fertilizer for watermelons and cantaloupe!" Cooperating with these experts, Huinong is not just paying without profit, they have cultivated better varieties, and Huinong can also make money by providing chemical fertilizers, packing boxes, purchasing and selling.

Several people were chatting lively here, and the reception staff sent by the autonomous region government didn't want to disturb them. They just watched with a smile on the side, but some people didn't care about this. When they saw Li Lei, their eyes lit up immediately, and they came forward to shake hands and say hello, " Li Dong, welcome to XJ, I am Tang Wanxin from Delong."

"Mr. Tang, hello. I saw you from a distance when I was in the Special Economic Zone. At that time, your scene was very big. I and Mr. Wang from Vanke were very impressed!" Li Lei looked at his face. Positively, "Mr. Tang is going on a business trip? Are you planning to go there to discuss big business?"

"Going to Xi'an to discuss some small business, can't compare to Li Dong's generosity! Oh, it's really a coincidence, I have already made an appointment with him, and it's hard to change the time. How long is Li Dong going to stay in XJ? When I come back, I must treat me well." Dismiss Mr. Li!" Tang Wanxin seemed very polite. Although he has money now, he is still a junior in the domestic business circle, and he is very eager to squeeze into the top circle.

Tang Wanxin's flight was about to take off, and he didn't want to stay longer. After confirming that Li Lei would stay for a long time, he set a time for the meeting, and then left. Li Lei looked at his back and smiled without saying a word He can guess what Tang Wanxin is going to do in Xi'an, and it is definitely not a small business.

In 1992, China's economic reform ushered in a new stage, and a large number of state-owned enterprises were restructured and listed. At that time, the two stock exchanges in China had not been established for a long time, and the concept of the stock market was not well known to the general public; When distributing stocks, many corporate employees have the same attitude towards stocks as treasury bills back then. They doubt the credit of stocks. Many people sold the stock certificates they received, thinking that these waste papers are useless in their hands and can only be turned into cash. Only peace of mind.

There are a large number of state-owned enterprises in Xi’an, so the company’s employees sell a lot of stock certificates. Tang Wanxin copied what European and American capitals did when the Soviet Union disintegrated, and bought the stocks in the hands of employees of state-owned enterprises. Many state-owned enterprises are high-quality assets, and there is a lot of room for stock appreciation Tang Wanxin's business is almost trading embroidery needles for roosters and buttons for cows, and then he sells these stocks to professional speculators and makes a fortune.

The most exaggerated time, he bought 1000 million shares of Northwest Bearing in one go, and then sold it for 4000 million, making a net profit of 3000 million in a few days, which was much faster than Li Lei's hard work building a feed factory to sell feed; The relevant departments noticed this method, so they introduced measures to limit the stocks that each ID card could buy, but this was useless to him, he could get a few sacks of ID cards casually.

In a few years, Tang Wanxin made nearly one billion wealth by this method, and then used this wealth to support the foundation of the Delong family, became a big banker in the stock market, and then continued to make troubles in the stock market, and finally After playing with him, the famous Delong family will fall, but there are still some good things in the Delong family, so there is no harm in getting in touch with him in advance. Just buy it.

At the reception banquet in the evening, Li Lei and the local leaders promised that, just like Guizhou, Guangxi and other places, they will also build a large-scale feed factory and a large-scale breeding farm in XJ. At the same time, they will cooperate with local scientific research institutions to explore the modern breeding of mutton sheep and farming work.

"The total number of sheep raised in our XJ ranks second in the country, but there are still some problems, such as high-quality land, low wool and meat production performance, and a large number of grasslands degraded due to the gradual increase in the number of sheep. I kept trying to solve these problems, but failed to achieve good results due to various reasons. Now that Director Li is here, he has brought us abundant funds and advanced ideas. I think this problem should be solved soon. !” The local leaders are very happy. The investment of tens of millions in today’s XJ is definitely one of the best in addition to several large state-owned energy companies.

"Our XJ has a vast territory and abundant products, especially fruits, whose quality and taste are among the best in the country, but they can't be shipped out, and they lack the means of deep processing, so I plan to invest in some fruit processing enterprises to produce specialties such as raisins. The products are sold in Kouli or even abroad!" The so-called Kouli is XJ's name for the mainland, after passing Yumenguan, Yangguan and JYG is outside Koukou, and entering is Kouli.

In the field of agriculture, XJ can do too many things, such as grapes from TLF, fragrant pears from Korla, cantaloupe from Hami, lavender from Yili. These are all high-quality resources; in addition, there are some very magical good things Unfortunately, due to various reasons, it has not been promoted on a large scale, such as Shennei carrot juice developed by Shihezi University, and Tianrun milk beer launched by Tianrun in the future. These drinks are delicious and nutritious, but unfortunately, the sales volume is not worthy of the quality. , Now that Li Lei is here, it is entirely possible to use Huinong's sales channels and promotion capabilities to sell these products better.

It took a few days to finalize the sites of feed mills and breeding farms. As for food processing plants and breeding farms, we have to take our time. The government will provide some alternatives, and Huinong will find some by himself, and then choose the most suitable ones. The place will be built, and there will be no way to determine it for a while.

Then Li Lei went to visit Wu Mingzhu again, gave him a new gift, and went to the breeding farm to have a look. Only then did he have time to go to his own experimental field to see how the drought-resistant and cold-resistant wheat is being cultivated. Mr. Zhao is very concerned about the progress. Satisfied, "With the slow-release fertilizer and computer-assisted breeding technology, the breeding speed is much faster than before. It is estimated that next year, the first batch of seeds will be available to you! Of course, this batch of seeds is not the final The version is only better than the seeds you are using now, but the yield increase is limited, and you have to continue to research and develop it in the future. The breeding work is like this. If you don’t rush, you have to go step by step!”

"I understand this, everyone has worked hard! I will give you bonuses at that time, and the guaranteed amount will satisfy you! Today I brought a sheep and a few chickens. I will trouble the chef in the cafeteria to cook us a big plate of chicken , Roast lamb, let me have a few drinks with everyone!" The results must be celebrated, so the experimental base suddenly became lively, some helped slaughter sheep, some helped kill chickens, and the big guys were very busy.

Roast lamb is a traditional delicacy in XJ. As for the big plate chicken, many people think that this dish has a long history, but in fact it has just been developed not long ago.

It is a Jianghu dish that originated on both sides of the Shawan Highway 80 years ago. At that time, it took half a day to get here from WLMQ to all places in northern Xinjiang. The driver had to eat, and the driver’s income was quite good at that time, so they Not only do you want to eat well, but you also want to eat well. To eat well, you must have meat. If you kill a head of mutton, it will not be fresh after a long time. The chicken is just right. When the driver comes, kill the chicken again. It’s okay to eat it alone, so Chicken became popular. A Sichuan chef combined the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine and the status quo of local potatoes, and developed the dish of large plate chicken. The chicken is fresh and tender, the potatoes are soft and waxy, and the peppers are appetizing. This dish quickly became popular and gradually became popular. It spread to other places, and later spread all over the country, becoming synonymous with XJ cuisine.

Although this dish will be available in other places in the future, it will still be delicious in Northwestern provinces such as XJ, Qinghai, and Gansu. The taste in other places is always inferior. First, the freshly killed chicken is used locally, and the taste is naturally better than frozen chicken. The chicken is better; secondly, it is because of the potatoes, and there are different types of potatoes in Northwest Rizhaozu. It doesn't feel like this anymore.

When eating, Li Lei found that the old employees of the breeding farm were more particular about their food, taking it easy, but those who came to do odd jobs in nearby farms devoured it hungrily, as if they hadn't eaten meat for a long time, Li Lei endured I can't help being a little curious. It stands to reason that each household in the group farm has a lot of land. Why is their life still so bad?

The so-called regiment farm is a special affair unique to XJ. There are more than 200 regiment-level units under the Construction Corps. The farms and pastures under the jurisdiction of these regiment-level units are called regiment farms. A unified unit with a very special management system.

When Li Lei asked, those who came out to do part-time jobs in the regiment would complain a lot. It turns out that the life of the regiment is too difficult now.

First of all, there are fewer and fewer people in the group field. Since the 70s, people have been leaving the group field. They also left. During this period, the Corps and the local government had some personnel exchanges, and another group of people left; then those with crafts and skills also left because they saw that they were earning more money outside; plus those For those who left after the school entrance examination, there were thousands of employees in the regiment field, but now there are only a few hundred employees left, and the age structure is also old and young.

It is reasonable to say that the land is still those lands. If there are fewer people, the average land area will increase, and the money allocated to each person will also be more. However, this is not the case; because in the past, large-scale planting with large machinery is now replaced by contract production. For households, each employee contracts [-] acres of land, which used to be able to be cultivated with large machinery, but now that the land has become smaller, only small machinery can be used.

And the contract is still changed every year, that is to say, you plant this piece of land this year, and then plant another piece of land next year. Who will raise the land so stupidly?But the vigorous planting is over, and within a few years, problems such as soil fertility degradation and salinity expansion have come.

"Hey, it's a sad day!"
