Chapter 7 External Comments, Saline-alkali Land Management
There is no airtight wall in the world!
[Chaoqun Group]’s heavy investment in pig farming was also exposed by the outside world.
Such a generous move naturally attracted the attention of people in the industry and society.
Especially after learning that [Chaoqun Group] wanted to achieve the target of producing 30 million commercial pigs per year, people from all walks of life were talking about it, and it accidentally occupied the headlines of various media.
[Chaoqun Group] Expansion is normal, but such radical expansion is rare.
This is no different from Internet companies. They only have an APP. The so-called nationwide expansion means renting an office in a local area, recruiting a group of people, and then starting business.
The cost of expansion is very low, so many Internet companies can enjoy high valuations. Because of this, their expansion costs are very low.
However, the pig industry that [Chaoqun Group] invests in is different. It needs to rent land, build breeding farms, require a lot of expensive equipment, deal with excretion pollution problems, recruit people, introduce pig breeds, consider epidemic prevention, etc., every time
A large amount of money is invested in every step. The capital requirements are high, but the rate of return is not high, and the risk is very high. It is a proper asset-heavy industry.
Before this, [Chaoqun Group] only produced 100,000 head per year, but now it has suddenly increased by 300 times, which is the behavior of a snake swallowing an elephant.
Some experts and scholars commented that [Chaoqun Group] has behaved too radically in this industry. Putting aside the management issues, if [Chaoqun Group] really achieves this goal, then the surge in pig production capacity next year will be
If the pig industry is directly priced at a cabbage price, then not only will [Chaoqun Group] lose blood, but it may also cause the majority of pig farmers to go bankrupt, affecting the social economy and competing with the people for profits. Perhaps [Chaoqun Group] has strong financial resources and will lose money.
Since then, they have been trying to seize the market at a loss, but the vast number of ordinary pig farmers have become innocent victims. The expansion of large enterprises often takes away the last bit of livelihood for ordinary people.
Another relevant person in the industry commented on this matter in the relevant media. He said that he had heard of [Chaoqun Group]’s ambitions in the pig industry, but he would not pay special attention to it. The reason is very simple. No matter what the purpose is, [Chaoqun Group]
Boss Wu still underestimates this industry. It is simply impossible for [Chaoqun Group] to increase its annual production capacity from 100,000 head to 30 million head in just over a year.
Things would be about the same if it took ten years to progress in cycles. Boss Wu has no respect for this industry. As production capacity explodes, various problems emerge one after another, which will bring this young company to its knees. We still hope that Wu
The boss can face himself, be down-to-earth, and do things in a down-to-earth manner. I hope that this industry can have one more pig-raising enterprise with a truly responsible person, and bring affordable pork with reliable quality and good taste to the general public.
In short, there are a lot of discussions in the society. Some criticize him for being radical, some criticize him for being arrogant, and some say that he is just here to disrupt the situation, to seize the market at a loss, and to monopolize the entire pig industry...
There are all kinds of comments.
There are just no good words to say.
Even some national economic departments have called to inquire.
Today's [Chaoqun Group]'s influence is really different from what it used to be. A simple expansion plan in Wu Siyuan's opinion has aroused heated discussions in the entire society, even at the national department level.
However, despite the turmoil outside, the related work of [Chaoqun Group] has not been affected at all. Working groups have been established one after another and sent to all parts of the country to negotiate and communicate with local governments, working hurriedly.
After all, they have all seen the reward plan. Once this project is completed, a project bonus of at least hundreds of thousands is inevitable, and this does not include the year-end bonus.
If you work hard, you might even have money for the down payment on a house by the end of the year.
How could they not try their best?
Some working groups with high efficiency have signed contracts with the local government, and the construction teams they have contacted have already arrived for construction. Of course, the areas responsible for these working groups are all in Guangxi Province or where [Chaoqun Group] has a very high influence.
Across provinces, the local government understands and local villagers support, which is why we can achieve such speed.
Employees are not affected by the outside world, and Wu Siyuan, who is at the center of the whirlpool, is even more unmoved.
The experience of traveling through multiple worlds has long since developed his calm mentality.
But at this time, he did not stay in Yangcheng, but came to Jiangzhou City in Yue Province.
Jiangzhou City is located in the central and southern part of Yue Province. Many areas in the city are close to the South China Sea. The island coastline is 331.51 kilometers long and there are 97 islands with an area of more than 500 square meters.
Therefore, under the erosion of sea water, Jiangzhou City has formed many saline-alkali lands where no grass can grow.
The rainfall here is heavy and the soil leaching effect is strong. The coastal salt soil formed by soaking the land with sea water gradually desalinate into saline soil through the washing of salt by rainwater.
The average salt content of 1 meter of soil is less than 0.6%. Affected by the forest biological community, acidic saline-alkali soil is formed. The salt composition is mainly sulfate, and the soil is slightly acidic.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as there is salty land, salthorn grass can grow.
Xinhui District, Nanfeng Village.
Wu Siyuan and Guan Xuelie, under the leadership of Qian Zhengjun, inspected this poor village that had been troubled by saline-alkali land for many years.
Because the land cannot grow food, or can only grow a very small amount of food, villagers have no choice but to go out to make a living.
Because they don’t have any skills, the villagers who go out can only make a living by working hard.
Everyone who has the ability to leave here has left. Those who have no ability to leave can only guard this wasteland and live day by day. With the care of the country, they will not die of hunger, but if they want to live a better life,
But it’s very difficult.
Qian Zhengjun is a person who came out of this village.
He got out of the village through reading and changed his own destiny. However, with his ability, he changed the destiny of a person and a family, but he could not change the destiny of a village or a town.
Every year when he comes back for the New Year, Qian Zhengjun always feels heavy when he sees the lifeless village.
Originally, he could only keep this heaviness in his heart.
But unexpectedly, the big company he worked for suddenly saw the light of hope with the research on [Salthorn Grass].
After learning about the situation of [Salthorn Grass] in detail, he was so excited that he made a detailed report and took the initiative to find Guan Xuelie, hoping to join the working group on saline-alkali land, and proposed that he could do a pilot project in his hometown rural area.
.
Guan Xuelie originally wanted to concentrate on completing the important task of exploding the production capacity of the [pig farm] proposed by Wu Siyuan. However, after seeing the report from his capable subordinate, he was moved, thought about it, and took this
Report to Wu Siyuan.
After Wu Siyuan heard the report, he agreed without objection. However, during this period of time, he was very quiet and restless, and suddenly he became interested and wanted to go out and have a look, so this scene of the inspection took place.
In the village, large areas of abandoned saline-alkali land stretch out endlessly, all the way to the seaside.
Except for Nanfeng Village, the land in nearby villages near the sea is like this.
I heard from Qian Zhengjun that before running water was connected to their village, they had to go to the mountains far away to get water, or they had to dig wells.
The water from the well I dug is salty and bitter.
Only if you pay a professional to dig a well, it is normal.
The degree of salinization of the land is getting deeper and deeper, and wells must be dug deeper and deeper.
More and more villagers are leaving.
The whole village is getting poorer and poorer.
There are hundreds of thousands of acres of flat fields, but there is absolutely no hope for life.
What Wu Siyuan sees in the eyes of local people is a kind of numbness towards life.
I also saw his past.
Once upon a time, when he didn't have a golden finger, he was also such a person who felt numb to life.
There is no rush at work.
I can’t afford the house.
I can’t afford my wife.
Hungry and hungry to death.
But it’s not good to live together.
Isn’t life just a numbness day after day?
Wu Siyuan's heart was suddenly touched.
He stood there for a long time.
Guan Xuelia and Qian Zhengjun neither dared to move nor speak.
After a long time, Wu Siyuan came back to his senses. He said to Guan Xuelie and Qian Zhengjun, "Okay, we will build our group's first salthorn grass planting base and Wantou Dairy here!" "Mr. Guan, since Zhengjun is familiar with this place, let him take charge of this matter and communicate and negotiate with the local government!"
"Okay, Mr. Wu!"
"Thank you, Mr. Wu! Thank you, Mr. Guan! On behalf of the folks here, thank you!" Qian Zhengjun burst into tears when he heard this decision.
Upon seeing this, Guan Xueliang laughed and cursed, "Do it well!"
"Yes! President Guan! Director Wu!" Qian Zhengjun responded excitedly.
Guan Xuelie smiled.
Wu Siyuan also laughed.
Qian Zhengjun acted quickly and quickly assembled a group of elite soldiers within the group to negotiate with the Xinhui District Government of Jiangzhou City.
When the local government heard that a company was coming to develop and manage saline-alkali land, and it was such a big company as [Chaoqun Group], they absolutely supported it without saying a word, and provided a series of preferential policies.
For example, the contract price of cabbage is almost free.
For example, tax benefits such as three-year tax exemption and multi-year tax reduction.
For example, it clarifies the ownership of property rights after saline-alkali land treatment.
In the end, [Chaoqun Group] successfully won the 50-year contract right to nearly 30,000 acres of saline-alkali land in the area surrounding Nanfeng Village at an extremely favorable price.
[Chaoqun Group] is expected to invest 450 million yuan.
According to the preliminary plan, of the 30,000 acres of land, more than 20,000 acres of land are used to grow pasture, while the remaining 10,000 acres of land are used to build cattle sheds and various supporting facilities, as well as dairy factories and produce
A variety of dairy products will eventually be built into a comprehensive demonstration base with an annual stock of 10,000 cows, and then the economy of the entire village will be revitalized.
However, before planting pasture, the problem of saline-alkali soil must first be solved.
Countless large machines are leveling and plowing the land back and forth on the saline-alkali land, excavators are digging soil and digging channels, and scrapers are transporting soil back and forth.
The entire construction site roared, attracting many nearby villagers to stop and watch. Nanfeng Village has not been so lively for a long time.
The presence of these construction teams has brought consumption to nearby villages.
The village committee earned some extra money by organizing villagers to cook, prepare tea and water, and provide accommodation.
Although it's not a lot when divided equally, for the villagers here, every penny and every dollar is precious, and they all earned it themselves.
This is the first change brought about by [Chaoqun Group]’s investment in the local area.
The efficiency of machinery is much faster than that of human power, and the machinery will never get tired.
After a period of time, nearly 30,000 acres of land were leveled, and the land was arranged neatly like tofu cubes.
This is the power of industry.
The construction team built cattle sheds and factories on part of the land.
The other land is used for sowing.
[Salthorn Grass] seeds sent from the [Chaoqun Group] laboratory in Yangcheng were evenly planted on this piece of land, and sprinkled with nutrient water specially prepared by the [Biological Laboratory].<
/p>
This nutrient water is none other than [Water of Life] that has been diluted dozens or even hundreds of times, coming from the secret space of [Mojia Legacy].
They are evenly sprinkled on the land, effectively ensuring the emergence rate of these [Salthorn Grass].
A few days later, [Salthorn Grass] sprouted.
A few days later, dense buds of [Salthorn Grass] appeared on the 30,000 acres of land.
The staff of [Chaoqun Group] were very excited to see this scene.
When the local villagers saw this scene, their eyes widened, "It's really sprouting!"
While talking, some people even cried.
After many years, this barren land sprouted again! Green plants grew again.
They are more attentive than the staff of [Chaoqun Group] and come to take a look almost every day.
Watch them sprout, watch them grow leaves, watch the land begin to turn green.
This is the color of life!
This is the color of hope!
Wu Siyuan hasn't left yet, he is still here, looking at this scene and the excited villagers, he can't help but think.
He stayed in Jiangzhou City and watched the [Salthorn Grass] grow every day. After a while, the [Salthorn Grass] all over the mountains and fields dyed the entire saline-alkali land green.
Technicians tested the composition of the land and found that the salt content of the land has dropped by more than one percentage point. With the growth of [Salthorn Grass], the salt content of the land continues to decrease.
This is exciting news.
Not only Qian Zhengjun, but also many people feel excited.
If this continues, this saline-alkali land will really turn into a fertile farmland.
Our country is a large country with saline-alkali land. It ranks third in the world in terms of saline-alkali land area. It is mainly distributed in 17 provinces and regions in the northwest, northeast, north China and coastal areas. The total area of saline-alkali wasteland and saline-alkali land that affects cultivated land exceeds
500 million acres, of which about 2 acres have agricultural development potential.
Before this, saline-alkali land has always been recognized as a green forbidden land. Although there are always people to manage and develop it, it is either very costly and outweighs the gain, or the results are ineffective.
Only [Salthorn Grass] produced by [Chaoqun Group] can treat saline-alkali land efficiently and at a low price.
If these 200 million acres of saline-alkali land are developed and turned into fertile farmland, what a huge resource it will be!
These 200 million acres of cultivated land can greatly alleviate the current contradiction between man and land in our country.
