What is the "butterfly effect", Qi Zheng once again experienced.

As one of the provinces most affected by the two desert reservoirs, Su Province is not entirely good news.

The real increase in precipitation, above-ground water, and the reduction of wind-blown sand is certainly a good thing for the agriculture of Su Province on the whole.

But the chain effect brought about by this is not necessarily all good - the unsalable agricultural products in Suzhou Province are not only Cistanche, but also special products such as apples and cherry tomatoes......

The increase in income brought about by climate improvement has actually made farmers live worse than in previous years, where to reason?

Many people who often see similar news may wonder, unsalable is nothing more than oversupply, so many places in China are growing apples, knowing that there will be more than demand, why do you want to plant blindly?

However, for netizens who are surrounded by the Internet, it seems that it is not difficult to know these things. But for the growers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, how can they understand this? Not to mention that even if they are surrounded by the Internet, how many people can sift through the complicated information to find the right answer?

Information asymmetry, any product is a swarm of bees, as long as the sky is normal, oversupply is a common phenomenon, which leads to unsalable, which is a common problem of Chinese farmers.

This proposition is so big that governments at all levels have a headache about it, but Su Province has set its sights on Jiagu.

Qian Lao of the Ecological Association said that the unsalable cistanche was only the first wave of temptation, and then the relevant departments in Suzhou Province came to the door for the problem of unsalable agricultural products to varying degrees.

In fact, Su Province thought of Jiagu at the first time when agricultural products were unsalable, and it was not surprising that Qi Zheng was in power.

Three of the six characteristic agricultural industries in Suzhou Province, vegetables, potatoes, grass-fed animal husbandry, Chinese medicinal materials, high-quality forest fruits and wine-making raw materials, are deeply influenced by Jiagu.

The five dominant vegetable producing areas of the Hexi Corridor Irrigation Area, the Yellow River Irrigation Area, the Jing River Basin, the Wei River Basin and the "Two Rivers and One Water" Basin formed by Su Province have become one of the five major commodity vegetable bases of China's "Western Cuisine to the East" and "Northern Cuisine to the South".

The area of artificial grass planting in the province has reached more than 20 million mu, ranking second in the country, of which the area of alfalfa ranks first in the country - among them, the largest yield and best quality commercial grass production and reserve base is built by Jiagu.

Malting barley and hops are even more famous, accounting for 70% and 90% of the raw materials for domestic beer production respectively, and hops are now going abroad to ensure the supply of beer to beer lovers all over the world.

From an organizational point of view, it is also the industrialization and efficiency of these three pillars that are most obvious.

All the farms in Suzhou Province that have joined the Jiagu cooperatives have actively promoted agricultural water-saving technologies such as pipeline water transportation, drip irrigation under membranes, and small pipe outflow, and implemented the strictest management of water resources, and used water to determine the scale and layout the industrial structure with water, so that the water used by one mu of field crops should not exceed 400 cubic meters.

What is this concept?

To grow traditional corn, one acre of land needs 800 cubic meters of water, which is a "high water consumption" crop, which is not allowed to be planted by the Jiagu cooperative in Suzhou Province.

Of course, water conservation is not the most talked about by the people of Suzhou Province. The most eye-catching thing is that the above three Jiagu are deeply involved in the characteristic industries, and there has never been a risk of unsalable!

Information asymmetry may be a moat for ordinary farmers, but it is not a mystery for Jiagu, who has unimpeded intelligence, not to mention ......

"The group has built 51 new fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping warehouses in Suzhou Province, purchased 80 new mobile fresh-keeping warehouses, and added 230,000 tons of storage capacity; up to now, 433 fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping warehouses have been built in Suzhou Province, with a storage capacity of 3.33 million tons...... "Wei Ming, the new chief assistant, quickly entered the working state and handed him the information that Qi Zheng wanted.

Qi Zheng took a tablet.

Above is an electronic map of the country. The green area is the agricultural production base of Jiagu. It can be clearly seen that the larger the grain-producing provinces, the larger the area of the green area. The two largest areas are in the Northeast Black Province and the Oasis of the Alashan Desert.

Between the agricultural production bases, there are red dots and lines, which are Jiagu's warehousing and cold storage and agricultural product supply logistics.

"Tsk, for more than ten years, it can even be said that Jiagu's most important assets are basically on this. Looking at the flashing electronic map, Rao is Qi Zheng also has an indescribable sense of pride.

In the eyes of many Jiagu management, the warehousing and fresh-keeping cold chain logistics facilities are a "sinkhole" - the money thrown into it every year makes Qi Zheng gasp a few times when he approves it.

Even so, to this day, it can only be said that a large skeleton has been built, and the intensity of continued investment will not continue to increase, but it does not mean that investment has stopped.

It can make all the high-level executives of Jiagu drip blood in their hearts, but still grit their teeth and insist on investing, which is naturally the great addition of this cold chain logistics system to the Jiagu system, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

If Qi Zheng is allowed to describe it, it is that it has helped Jiagu agricultural production and marketing system, and the domestic non-Jiagu agricultural production and marketing system, almost opened a distance of an era - other agricultural production and marketing systems are still in the 19th century, and Jiagu has taken the lead in entering the 21st century. Because Jiagu's production and marketing system is built according to the standards of the industrial system, which is manifested in standardized production, advanced packaging and storage, and complete cold chain facilities......

In addition to the information bureau's prediction of the market, a key reason is that this storage and preservation cold chain logistics system.

Not to mention anything else, the storage and preservation capacity of Jiagu is stronger than that of ordinary storage facilities, which is enough to make Jiagu have a qualitative improvement in the bargaining power in the industry - for many agricultural products, even if the preservation period can be extended by one month, it is enough to stagger the peak of listing, so as to sell at a good price.

Based on this, it is not difficult to understand that Su Province pinned its hopes on Jiagu to resolve the risk of unsalable.

"Boss, will the company agree to the request for help from the Su Province?" Wei Ming asked tentatively when he saw that Qi Zheng finally set his eyes on the territory of Su Province.

Qi Zheng also touched his chin and considered: "What do you think?"

Wei Ming made a draft before he came, and quickly said: "I thought, if it is a large quantity of grains, oils, vegetables and fruits, it is appropriate for us to intervene in the integration, but if it is a regional characteristic agricultural product, it is not worth the group's investment." ”

The cost of helping Suzhou Province's special agricultural products to meet the production and marketing is nothing to Jiagu now, and it is completely a risk that can be tolerated. What really needs to be considered, is the value of doing so in line with the needs of the group?

From Wei Ming's point of view, it would be very good if we could transform the production model of some niche products with very regional characteristics as a subsidiary of Jiagu's agricultural product supply chain. However, if too much effort is put into small-scale agricultural products of different qualities, types and quantities, it will become a long-term slow investment, which is not very in the interest of the group.

To put it bluntly, bulk crops that can be produced on a large scale with mechanization and automation are the main operating forces of a world-class giant like Jiagu.

After all, although Jiagu's warehousing and fresh-keeping cold chain logistics system is strong, it cannot afford the circulation scale of agricultural products as high as 4 trillion yuan in the country.

Qi Zheng was silent for a moment.

Seeing that Qi Zheng did not say anything against it, Wei Ming boldly suggested: "I think that through the Jiagu Entrepreneurship Company, we can further transform the agriculture of Suzhou Province, or in other words, transform the characteristic agriculture of various places." ”

"Jiagu Entrepreneurship Company?" Qi Zheng raised his head.

Although it is a question sentence, it also shows his interest. Wei Ming was encouraged and said busily: "The headquarters has transferred a business plan, I think it is quite valuable for investment......

Whether in China or abroad, corporate giants will become incubators for startups.

Nowhere is this more common than in the tech sector. Intel has cultivated a lot of entrepreneurs who make chips, and Yahoo has cultivated a lot of Internet entrepreneurs. Among domestic entrepreneurs, there are also typical "circle" cultures, such as Penguin's "Antarctic Circle", Ali's "Former Orange Club", Jinshan's "San Francisco" and so on.

It's easy to understand. In a giant company with a complete system, whether your position is management or employees, everyone is only a small part of the company, and there are always some talents who want to come out and do something of their own.

Kaya is no exception.

Since 2010, some of the employees who left Jiagu have started their own businesses.

In this regard, Qi Zheng is strongly supportive, and not just verbal support - Jiagu employees who want to start a business can submit their business plans to the Strategy Department for verification, if recognized, they can not only get Jiagu's investment, but also borrow Jiagu's resources, such as Jiagu laboratory, Jiagu logistics system, etc., to reduce the risk of failure.

In the past few years, there are also a number of excellent Jiagu start-up companies, like a "supernumerary" army of Jiagu, which is rising in the industry.

However, the other entrepreneurial factions give the impression that they are all tall, what kind of Du Niang's technology cow, Ali's e-commerce cow...... It's Jiagu's turn, it's really a rustic "old scalper".

In terms of team building, management mechanism, corporate culture, etc., the company they founded will more or less have the imprint of the old club - the entrepreneurial school that came out of Jiagu is not "full of local flavor"?

This is, of course, a joke.

In fact, the entrepreneurs who came out of Jiagu have the genes of doing agricultural product projects, although there are no amazing start-up companies, but they are still quite sought after by investors in agricultural big data, crop management, precise guidance, automation, trading market, traceability security, market information and other subdivisions.

Thinking like this, Qi Zheng said: "You are also optimistic about being specially selected by the headquarters, it seems that there will be a surprise this time?"

Wei Ming nodded lightly and said, "It's an Internet + agriculture e-commerce business plan." ”

Hey, that's kind of interesting, Qi Zheng raised his eyebrows.

Because of the effect brought about by the rise of Jiagu, the world has strongly felt the infinite opportunities emerging in the agricultural field, and the Internet has transformed agriculture almost three years earlier than another time and space.

E-commerce giants have gone to the countryside, start-ups have sprung up, and a number of agricultural product matching platforms and fresh e-commerce have risen.

The entry point of the Internet to transform agriculture is surprisingly consistent - opening up the circulation link of agriculture and allowing the production area to directly connect with users, which can greatly improve agricultural efficiency and bring considerable economic benefits. As a result, agriculture became a sought-after nugget during this period.

But the result is the same as another time and space.

Since the beginning of this year, a number of Internet + agriculture projects have fallen silent. The reason is that, after practice, practitioners have found that most of the distribution links that can be transformed by the Internet are the closest to users, and it takes huge investment and a long time to wait for the production end and the circulation chain. This is difficult to accept for both Internet companies and investors who want to make quick money.

It is based on the lessons of another time and space that in this wave of craze, as the well-deserved hegemon of the agricultural industry, Jiagu almost did not move, and only invested in a few technical service companies that started their own businesses.

Now, the investment community has to admit that Jiagu's understanding of agriculture is not comparable to a group of entrepreneurs from the Internet industry - the slogan of Internet transformation of agriculture has been shouted for several years, but in the public's perception, except for the ability to buy vegetables and fruits online (the quality is still extremely unstable), and the emergence of several popular agricultural product brands (the price is still very expensive), there seems to be little change.

What can really transform agriculture has to cut into the upstream production end!

In this case, there are entrepreneurs from the Jiagu department who have cut in from the field of e-commerce, and they can also be appreciated by the Strategy Department, which is quite rare - there is no feasible plan, and it will not be sent to Qi Zheng at all.

With some expectation, Qi Zheng opened the plan.

“...... Referring to Jiagu's central agricultural processing system, relying on distributed AI technology, it collects information such as geographical location, characteristic products, and maturity cycle of agricultural production areas, and matches products to consumers......"

“...... Encourage users to join groups, bargain, and invite friends, family, etc. to form a shopping team. With the help of the 'grouping' model, a large amount of demand can be quickly gathered in a short period of time, and a large number of seasonal agricultural products can be quickly digested......"

“...... Based on platform data and user needs, semi-customized batch processing of small-scale characteristic agricultural products can be realized......"

The legend of spelling the evening naturally appeared in Qi Zheng's mind.

"What's the name of the entrepreneur?" Qi Zheng's eyelids jumped, could it be a big cow surnamed Huang?

"Well, it's a business plan submitted by an employee named Yan Chao. Wei Ming replied strangely.

Hearing that it was not the same person, Qi Zheng didn't know whether to be disappointed or not.

Take a closer look, this plan is more focused on agriculture, and it can even be said to be a pure Internet agricultural goods uplink platform business plan, which is still quite different from the memory of the fight - yes, this lineage of local entrepreneurship!

However, this is undoubtedly more in line with the interests of Jiagu.

The question is, is it expected to be the end of the plane?
