"I plan to return to my hometown and engage in the meat processing and breeding industry. According to my investigation, with the improvement of economic level in recent years, people's food consumption is undergoing drastic changes. In the past, the proportion of grains and vegetables is slowly declining, and meat products,
Fruit and other varieties are constantly improving. If the scale of the breeding industry is established at this time, it will definitely be able to seize a large enough market."
Xiao Ping added another sentence.
"Japanese Kobe beef is famous all over the world, and we should also have our own high-quality beef brand."
Xiao Qian already understood his thoughts and ideas, and also knew that his ambition was not small.
But Xiao Qian was not optimistic about his plan.
"Second brother, have you ever thought about what conditions are needed to start aquaculture?"
Although Xiao Qian is not an expert in this field, his experience of knowing a little bit about everything can provide the best argument at this time.
"Take the U.S. meat products industry as an example. The reason why the U.S. breeding industry is the largest in the world, in addition to the necessary technological support, is also an important factor, which is the improvement of the feed industry. For example, we grow corn.
, for the purpose of obtaining edible grain. However, corn cultivation in the United States is used as a source of feed for livestock.
The population of our country is several times that of the United States, but the cultivated land area is far less than that of the United States. Under such circumstances, if you want to make the breeding industry bigger and stronger, where will you get enough feed? And what do you want to do?
For high-quality meat, ordinary industrial feed must not be used, which requires sufficiently sophisticated feed products. How do you obtain it?"
A series of questioning made Xiao Ping dumbfounded.
He never thought that Xiao Qian actually knew so much.
Little did they know that as a time traveler, Xiao Qian had seen the later domestic food industry structure, so he dared to say these words.
Until 2020, the domestic meat product market will not be self-sufficient and will need to import a large amount of meat from overseas.
Everyone knows that meat products are more valuable than grain products, but the problem is that rashly developing the breeding industry without fundamentally solving the food crisis is unrealistic.
Xiao Ping couldn't answer any of Xiao Qian's questions, and his original ambition quickly turned into decadence.
"Hey, is it so difficult to do something?"
Little did he know that Xiao Qian truly appreciated his idea from the bottom of his heart.
"Second brother, I think your idea is correct, but there is a problem with the direction."
Xiao Ping suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with hope again.
"What do you think I should do?"
Xiao Qian did not answer him directly, but asked: "You go back to your hometown more often than me. What do you think of the rural conditions in Northeast China?"
In fact, he didn't need Xiao Ping to answer.
He has always known what the rural areas in Northeast China are like.
In today's period of rapid domestic economic development, it is said that the Northeast's economy is very difficult. But the rural areas of the Northeast, or farmers, are the most difficult group.
The population loss in the Northeast is even more obvious in rural areas.
The farmers were unable to obtain sufficient income from the land, so they had no choice but to leave the countryside and embark on the road of working.
Gradually, many rural areas in the Northeast have become desolate.
Take the village where Xiao Qian's grandmother's family lives as an example. When he lived there around 2000, there were probably more than a hundred households.
Later, in 2020, he went back once, and there were only less than ten households left in the huge village.
Due to economic problems, children's education problems, transportation problems and housing problems, more families choose to live in other places. The land under their names has also been contracted to people who still stay in the local area.
At that time, the joint production contract system was promoted across the country because the majority of farmers did not have their own land, resulting in a lack of enthusiasm for production and labor, and the farmers were always struggling below the food and clothing line.
However, with the development of economy and industry, the joint production contract system has hindered the industrial scale of agriculture.
Because relying solely on the farming income of each household, the output of the land is very limited, and the value of the land is not maximized.
The Northeast, especially the Black Province where Xiao Qian’s hometown is located, is an example.
There is a vast area of black soil with excellent soil quality here, and most importantly, there are large areas of plains.
Such a place is naturally suitable for large-scale mechanized agricultural cultivation.
However, the high cost of large-scale machinery is simply beyond the reach of ordinary peasant families. This situation has seriously hindered the development of local agriculture.
It was not until 2010 that the country introduced policies, and the local government stepped forward to establish agricultural cooperatives, collectively invest in the purchase of large machinery, and then, while enjoying state subsidies, greatly improved the farming efficiency of the land.
But will this make farmers rich?
According to what Xiao Qian knows, this is not the case.
Why?
Because with the development of agricultural technology, grain production has gradually increased, and in order to maintain market stability, grain prices have always been at a low level.
Low food prices will inevitably lead to insufficient income for farmers.
Many farmers work hard for a year, and the only money they can earn is the money subsidized by the state.
Xiao Qian feels that Northeast agriculture actually has great potential.
Of course, you have to find the right path.
"Second brother, have you been to Huaxi Village for inspection?"
Sure enough, Xiao Ping looked yearning.
"Of course I went. The development there is really good. The income of every household is more than ten times or dozens of times that of the rural areas in Northeast China. I just thought that after the breeding industry develops to a certain scale, I will also learn from the model of Huaxi Village and go to the villages.
The way of running a business will make my hometown rich."
This belongs to Xiao Ping's ambition.
During this global expedition, he traveled to many places, saw many things he had never seen before, and gained a great ambition.
Xiao Qian ruthlessly shattered his dream.
"I'm not trying to hit you. If you want to replicate the Huaxi Village model in the Northeast, you are doomed to fail."
Xiao Ping was anxious.
"Why?"
Of course Xiao Qian is not talking nonsense.
"What are the convenient conditions for the development of Huaxi Village? Just because it is located in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, businesses here can easily get support from many upstream and downstream industrial chains, which can greatly reduce costs. You want to set up a village in the Northeast
Enterprises engaged in industrial processing, let me ask you, how do you get your raw materials? How do you transport the products you make? With long distances and inconvenient transportation, how competitive can your products be in the market? "
Xiao Ping was completely convinced.
“Can’t our hometown develop?”
Xiao Qian smiled mysteriously.
"Of course it can develop. The premise is that we have to find the right path."
He asked for paper and pen, and gave Xiao Ping instructions while writing.
"In what aspects does our Northeast have advantages? One is heavy industry, and the other is agriculture. Let's not talk about heavy industry. This is not what we can do. Moreover, we cannot afford the prospects and investment in heavy industry. But in the field of agriculture, we cannot afford it.
There’s a lot to be done.”
Xiao Ping didn't believe it.
"What's the use of this? Food is not valuable."
Xiao Qian was angry.
"Rice, wheat, potatoes, and corn are worthless, but what if these agricultural products are processed and turned into commercial foods? Have you ever eaten instant noodles? How is the price? Have you ever eaten potato chips? So what? Why should these things be used by others?
It can be done, why can't we do it? Do you think that with so much grain produced in the Northeast every year, apart from the purchase of grain stored by the state, where has the rest gone? They are all bought cheaply by others and turned into the commodities I mentioned. Looking back
Sold to us again."
How big is the grain production in Northeast China?
Taking Heilongjiang Province as an example, the annual grain output can supply the consumption of three municipalities and the navy, land and air force for a year, and there is still wealth.
However, with such a strong agricultural output, there is no more profit, and it is only exploited as the low end of the agricultural industry chain.
"My advice to you is to make high value-added agricultural products. Relying on the agricultural advantages of your hometown and improving the quality and output of agricultural products, we will vigorously develop the additional product industry. If we do it well, we can monopolize it.
market."
Xiao Ping felt that he understood.
"You mean, we build a food processing factory in our hometown and purchase agricultural products locally. This is far more advantageous than other counterparts, right?"
Xiao Qian's head is covered with black lines.
"Crops that can be used for food processing all have strict quality and variety requirements. If you only buy agricultural products, how can you ensure that you buy enough suitable products?"
Xiao Ping seemed to understand, but was very nervous.
"Then what do you mean..."
"We build our own agricultural industrial park and plant and cultivate agricultural products according to our needs. No matter in terms of cost or efficiency, other companies cannot compare."
Xiao Ping thinks he is unrealistic.
"But we don't have land in our hands."
Xiao Qian was in great pain and kept slapping his forehead.
"Thank you for visiting Huaxi Village and thinking about helping your hometown become rich. We can invite local farmers to invest in their land and enjoy share dividends."
