Chapter 140: The Foundation of the Climbing Science and Technology Tree (Part I)
After surviving the disaster, Qi Zheng's trip to the northwest also achieved the expected goals.
The establishment of hop plantation and malting barley planting base has ensured the source of high-quality raw materials for Qingyuan Beer, and the establishment of seed production company and seed cultivation base has also opened the curtain for Jiagu to enter the commercial seed industry.
At the end of his trip to the northwest, Qi Zheng returned to the company.
As early as mid-July, the SARS epidemic that swept the country was extinguished.
All walks of life affected by it are beginning to recover.
Jiagu's agricultural products have also begun to sell well, and Xianming rice has been put on the market in limited quantities; Qingyuan Beer has also started the war, taking advantage of the merger and acquisition layout during the epidemic period, and storming the markets of Jiangnan Province and Yue Province; Jiagu Ranch has entered the right track, introduced the second batch of 10,000 cows, and began to brew the production and brand building of room temperature milk; Qingyang Dairy, as a low-temperature milk brand, although tepid, firmly occupies the market of Ruishi and its surrounding areas......
After Qi Zheng had a general understanding of the progress of each business unit by browsing the group's documents, he focused his energy on the integration and expansion of the group's laboratories.
The group's laboratories will be mainly divided into two parts, the agricultural technology laboratory and the food technology laboratory, as Chen Jianzhang wishes, to increase R&D investment and recruit more researchers.
This move is to lay a real foundation for Jiagu Group!
Because during the trip to the Great Northwest, Qi Zheng had some insights.
Seeing the vast wasteland in the northwest, Qi Zheng realized that the greatest significance of the Spirit Array seemed to be to change the environment, not just for agricultural production.
Think about it, a "five-bucket cloud and rain array" can alleviate the disaster situation affecting the two provinces, and if through the allocation of resources, the great northwest will be transformed into "plugging the south of the Yangtze River", won't the living space of the Chinese nation be doubled?
Combined with the thinking of the two generations, Qi Zheng felt that it was necessary to correct Jiagu's "crooked science and technology tree". See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net
Before the rebirth of Qi Zheng, China and the United States launched a trade war.
The United States sanctions our chips, and we sanction other people's agricultural products. As a result, some people ridiculed us and said that we were backward in scientific and technological development, and we could only rely on primitive and backward agriculture to threaten it.
At that time, Qi Zheng was an entrepreneurial little street, busy with survival, limited vision, and felt quite reasonable.
After starting over and making agriculture bigger, especially the deepening of his understanding of American agriculture, Qi Zheng couldn't help but laugh at his naivety and ignorance.
Agriculture is not a backward industry, but a typical high-tech-intensive industry, which not only burns money, but also consumes extremely time. From fertilizers to pesticides to seeds, as well as soil conservation, climatology, informatization and large-scale mechanization, agriculture is one of the most high-tech intensive industries.
Whether you are backward or not depends on whether you apply backward technology to production or apply high-tech production.
The average person will think that the strength of American agriculture lies in mechanized large-scale operations.
But mechanization is not the highlight of American agricultural technology at all. There are many countries in the world that have achieved agricultural mechanization, not to mention far away, referring to its neighbor North Korea, whose level of mechanization in the last century was not worse than that of the United States, and I don't know how many times higher than that of China? Without the oil of the Soviet Union, nothing could be done, and there would have been a famine or a famine.
The real agricultural development of the United States lies in the level of agricultural science and technology.
In addition to germplasm resources and international trade, the United States has invested much more in pure agricultural science and technology, and many of the latest agricultural technologies can be quickly applied, which is the superb and terrible thing about American agriculture.
For example, the United States has a life sciences strategy for a long time, and now half of the world's life sciences scholars are concentrated in the United States, and even if they have not made any achievements, the United States is willing to support this group of people.
Although growing potatoes on Mars only appeared on Hollywood screens, in reality, it is true that only Americans can have a full set of records of growing crops in space, like cress. Although China is closely following, the growth cycle is not as long as that of the United States.
The application of agricultural science in the United States is the guarantee of American agricultural hegemony.
The phrase "science and technology are the primary productive forces" is true in all fields.
To put it simply, our agriculture is backward because of the backward application of agricultural science.
Take the Netherlands, for example. The Netherlands is a developed agricultural country, and they have built a set of information systems that cover the whole country and are accurate to each farmer, and have introduced advanced information technology and equipment in all aspects of agricultural production.
This set of agricultural information system in the Netherlands can accurately analyze the changes in the relationship between supply and demand according to the agricultural information summarized, and can use big data to predict the data at harvest according to the production situation, so as to avoid the loss of farmers by agricultural planting grains, and avoid the situation of unsalable.
And in our country, there are often unsalable agricultural products, and too many agricultural products are produced, resulting in worthlessness and eventually rotting in the ground, and the desperate eyes of farmers often appear in the newspapers.
Although one of the problems caused by unsalable is that the farmers' fields are scattered and cannot form intensive operations, the completion of the agricultural information network can still play a very large role. In this regard, we have to admit the technological gap with foreign countries.
......
Of course, everyone knows that advanced technology is made by throwing money at it.
The United States and other developed countries are still leaders in the field of agricultural information technology, which represents the future, especially focusing on precision planting, animal health breeding and monitoring, and have made major breakthroughs in the cultivation of genetically modified organisms and space organisms.
These breakthroughs are inseparable from the huge investment in the field of agricultural scientific research in the United States, even if China is still catching up, and the government investment is gradually not inferior to the United States, but due to the lack of investment in this area of private enterprises, the overall investment is still not as good as the United States.
Several of the world's top 500 agricultural companies are basically American, such as Monsanto, the world's largest seed company, and H, a leader in genetically modified technology, agricultural machinery company H. In addition, there are high-tech agribusiness enterprises such as DuPont, Wyeth, and Bayer.
However, in our country, the agricultural population occupies the largest number in the world, but there are few agricultural companies that can get their hands on it, and the center of the national grain is not in agricultural planting, and the large agricultural sector in the A-share market has been occupied by food companies such as liquor for a long time, which has to be said to be an irony.
Although in the field of agricultural science and technology, China's agricultural science and technology departments have made great progress in biotechnology, high and new technology, and basic research, and plant cell and tissue culture, haplotype and their application research are in the world's advanced position.
However, some advantages can only represent advantages in a certain segment.
If we want to catch up with the United States in an all-round way, we can only rely on increasing investment and accelerating private investment in agriculture.
There is no doubt that Jiagu will be a civil leader.
In the early stage, Jiagu mainly relied on Qi Zheng's spirit array, although to a certain extent, the spirit array can also be regarded as an "agricultural high-tech", although it is not a normal road, the nature is still the same.
But Qi Zheng has always been sober.
Even if it is in the early stage, even in the next ten years, the spirit array will be the core guarantee of Jiagu.
But it is absolutely impossible to rely entirely on the Spirit Array.
Not to mention that after the scale of Jiagu went up, Qi Zheng could not take care of it without three heads and six arms - a drought would stumble Qi Zheng's footsteps; to put it mildly, if Qi Zheng had a good deal, Jiagu would definitely not be much better if it fell apart overnight.
Therefore, in order to lay a real foundation for Jiagu, it is necessary to increase investment in research and development in agricultural science and technology.
In Qi Zheng's vision, the mature Jiagu should be an enterprise based on advanced agricultural technology and raising the ceiling with the spirit array.
