Chapter 351, develop agriculture, prepare for the future
Liu Yuan was actually very clear in his heart.
In this ancient country and land, being rich is actually not a good thing. Rich people since ancient times, especially very rich people, have not had a good end.
Shen Wansan's family property was confiscated and he was exiled to Yunnan, while Hu Xueyan was dismissed from his post and died in depression after a quarrel.
It can be seen from this that Qian is like his younger brother in front of Quan, and he must always keep his head down.
Generally speaking, you can live a good life if you have money, but if you are too rich, you will have a lot of troubles, and you may even lose your head if you are not careful.
Liu Yuan was thinking about this matter himself, and his father-in-law Dong Tianfang also discussed this matter in depth with Liu Yuan.
The scale of Xinghai Technology is really too big.
There are now more than 2 million employees, and trillions of dollars are spent every year just to pay wages to employees. In terms of costs for other companies, the proportion of labor costs is actually not high, but the proportion of labor costs of Xinghai Technology is very
High, most of the expenses are actually used to pay wages and benefits to employees.
Of course, this is what Liu Yuan has always wanted to do. When the company makes money, the remuneration and benefits of its employees will naturally follow suit.
No matter how outsiders say they can't control it, at least their own employees have nothing to say about Xinghai Technology. They have always been given the best treatment and are worthy of the identity and status of a high-tech enterprise.
With a huge number of employees, the annual turnover exceeds 15 trillion, accounting for 7.5% of the entire Guojia GDP. When virtual machines and virtual worlds start to gain momentum.
It is estimated that with the strong attraction of virtual machines and virtual worlds, Xinghai Technology's turnover will skyrocket in the new year. Not to mention doubling or anything, it will definitely exceed 20 trillion. By then, it will account for 10% of the entire Guo family's GDP.
One tenth.
This proportion is really too high and too large.
They are all the same as the chaebols in South Korea. Of course, Xinghai Technology is fundamentally different from them. Xinghai Technology has achieved all this by relying on high technology alone, while those chaebols were formed by monopolizing many industries.
But for this ancient land, there has been a fine tradition of fighting landlords to divide their fields since ancient times.
If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries.
Liu Yuan has been thinking about this matter, and his father-in-law Dong Tianfang also gave Liu Yuan a lot of advice, such as not putting eggs in one basket.
But with Liu Yuan's huge net worth, people will be jealous wherever he puts it. In the final analysis, it is because Liu Yuan's own foundation is too shallow. Having huge wealth is like a child holding gold in his hands. How can he not make people jealous?
No matter where you go, the final result is actually the same. This has been true at all times and at home and abroad. Why are Jews always expelled and ostracized in history?
In addition to other reasons, a very important reason is that the Jews are rich but their own foundation is weak, so those European countries can expel the Jews to gain their huge wealth.
The European monarchs in the Middle Ages played this trick over and over again, cutting off the leeks again and again.
"We must start research on controllable nuclear fusion, and get the warp engine out as soon as possible. With the warp engine, the nature of the universe can run at its own pace."
"It's just a small earth, it's nothing at all."
After thinking for a while, Liu Yuan also laughed.
There is no need to worry too much about such things, just follow the plan in your heart step by step.
"If you want to develop on your own on other planets, many things are indispensable. First of all, food is a problem. You must be self-sufficient so that you will not be controlled by others."
"Well, we can take advantage of the opportunity to develop space agriculture and enter the agricultural field. It doesn't matter whether we make money or not. Agricultural technology must be developed first, and agricultural talents, equipment, etc. must be reserved first, so that there will be no chaos in the future."
The first thing Liu Yuan thought of was agriculture.
Although agriculture seems to be inconspicuous with high technology, it seems that agriculture is not profitable.
But in fact, agriculture is the foundation of a Guo family. Only agriculture that is stable and develops well can provide enough food for the people of the Guo family and ensure food security. This is almost the most important thing in every Guo family area.
If there is no food to eat and food supply is a problem, other fields and industries will not be able to develop.
For example, many areas in the world are not self-sufficient in food. If you rely heavily on imports, you will be easily controlled by others. Once a food shortage occurs around the world, you may not be able to buy food even if you have money, and problems will easily arise.
Agriculture can be unprofitable, and many countries and regions are even losing money in agriculture. Subsidies are constantly flowing in to ensure agricultural production, food output and security.
If we go to an alien planet, far away from the earth, we cannot transport food from the earth. It is best to be self-sufficient, so agriculture must be developed.
In fact, although agriculture is inconspicuous, its technical content is actually quite high. The three major fields of pesticides, fertilizers, and seeds have very high technical requirements.
As far as pesticides and fertilizers are concerned, most countries and regions around the world are unable to produce pesticides and fertilizers with their own technology. These seemingly ordinary things involve a lot of technology, and these technologies are not just random.
It can be done.
This is especially true in the field of seeds. Even our seeds, more than 70% of our seeds are imported, and the annual scale of imported seeds is about 20 billion fruit dollars.
Although this number is nothing compared to the huge total trade volume, seeds are the basis of agriculture. If someone controls them, they can cut off your seeds at any time, leaving you unable to grow food or vegetables.
In addition, if seeds are overly dependent on imports, they may lose their safety.
You must know that with the development of science and technology, various biotechnologies are continuously used in the agricultural field, such as genetically modified soybeans, corn, etc. No one knows whether these are safe or not, and they dare not say that they are definitely safe.
Some things are subtle and long-term and cannot be seen at all for a while. Once they appear, it may be too late to regret.
It's best to take your own destiny into your own hands.
"Well, the new year will focus on developing space agriculture."
"There are many benefits of space agriculture. There is sufficient light in space. This alone is not comparable to that on earth. In addition, we can stay away from pests in space and develop pollution-free green agriculture. There are many benefits. The only
The disadvantage is that the investment is huge and the returns are slow.”
"Among the seeds of inheritance, almost all interstellar civilizations will develop space agriculture. Taking advantage of the space and light advantages in space, they can easily meet the demand for food, get rid of the requirements and restrictions of agriculture on the natural environment, and be able to feed
The population and quantity can also increase geometrically."
Liu Yuan's mind came to mind about some of the content about space agriculture that Heritage Seed had seen.
Although space agriculture has many restrictions and limitations, it also has many advantages. The most important point is that the space in space is infinite, which is far beyond the land area on the planet. This also means that the space in space is infinite.
There is no upper limit to the development of agriculture in China.
The area of the living planet is limited, there is only so much land, and it is impossible for you to use all the land for farming. Once the population becomes too large, it will naturally become more and more difficult to meet the huge demand. The development of science and technology is the solution.
The best solution for food problems.
In the past, the grain output of one mu of land was only four to five hundred kilograms, but now the grain yield of one mu of land can be as high as 2,000 kilograms, which is several times higher than before.
In ancient times, farming depended on God. Once there was a flood or drought, there would basically be no harvest. It would be even more difficult if there were some locusts. But now, in the face of technology, the impact of nature is getting smaller and smaller.
These are enough to illustrate the importance of science and technology in agricultural development.
“I don’t know if people will say that I am competing with farmers for their last jobs.”
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Yuan also laughed at himself.
