Chapter 602: Convincing State Farm (1/2)
"No, Kaya has changed too many things. Tian Renli's laughter in the Jiusan Reclamation District came from afar, and he was only heard to say angrily: "I inquired, I heard that you are here, come and try it...... Hehe, I'm in luck. ”
For the state-owned soybean farm, Qi Zheng, who holds the "Jiadou No. 13" in his hand, is now a meat lingzhi that exudes aroma, even if it is an uninvited guest, Tian Renli has to do it.
Qi Zheng was not surprised that he could find it, but felt that his reaction was slow.
Seeing this, Director Wang of CCTV smiled and left first with the camera crew.
"Land becomes equity, and farmers become shareholders. You can not only get a salary, but also get dividends. Tian Renli brought a balding middle-aged man with him, looked at the scene of the dividend, and said: "The members of your Jiagu Cooperative are much more nourishing than the workers of our state farms. ”
Qi Zheng laughed twice and said, "Don't you dare to compare with your national team, do you see how many brain cells I spent in order to organize the peasants?"
Tian Renli coughed lightly twice, wanting to say something, but he finally held back.
Their state-run farms are naturally supporters of large-scale agricultural operations, and in this respect, they are in line with Jiagu's goal of vigorously forming farmers' cooperatives.
However, throughout the world, the popularization and promotion of farmer cooperatives in various countries are achieved through the organized promotion of government agencies.
The usual practice is that local governments, through their own relevant institutions, such as various agriculture-related institutions of grass-roots governments, on the one hand, carry out education and training of cooperatives and train specialized personnel and backbone farmers for farmers' cooperatives, and on the other hand, send staff to directly help and guide farmers in establishing and managing cooperatives.
However, in China, our grassroots cadres, including cadres in cities, counties, and townships, generally lack basic knowledge of farmers' cooperatives, and it can even be said that they are almost incapable of guiding local farmers to establish relatively standardized professional farmers' cooperatives.
Due to the status of a state-owned enterprise, Tian Renli did not want to comment on this, so he had to change the topic and said: "Dong Qi, come, let me introduce to you, this is the director of the farm in the Yellow Flood District. ”
The bald middle-aged man beside Tian Renli shook hands with Qi Zheng and said with a smile: "I have admired the name of Qi Dong for a long time, and I heard that Jiagu was going to promote 'Jiadou No. 13' in the Huanghuaihai area, so I took the liberty to follow Mr. Tian to come over and disturb." ”
Qi Zheng waved his hand and said, "Where is it, I have to thank your farm for its recognition and support of our new varieties of Jiagu......"
The Yellow Flood Farm is the only large-scale first-class agricultural enterprise in Henan Province, which grows soybeans all year round and has previously introduced a high-protein soybean variety from Jiagu, so Qi Zheng was not surprised by his visit.
After a few words of greeting between the three, the topic naturally returned to the dividends of Jiagu Cooperative.
"Good guy, I have calculated, the return on investment of the members who join the Jiagu Cooperative is about to reach 40%, right?" Tian Renli also watched the dividends of the Jiagu Cooperative, and after a simple calculation, he came to a surprising conclusion.
Qi Zheng smiled but said nothing.
The Jiagu cooperative fully embodies the basic nature and function of the cooperative, that is, most of the cooperative's profits are ultimately shared by all members, and the return on investment of 40% sounds exaggerated, but it is not a fantasy.
And in the eyes of Tian Renli and Guo Changchang, it is an absolute "rare thing".
Tian Renli couldn't help but give Qi Zheng a thumbs up: "True cooperative!"
Don't they know much about most of the farmer cooperatives in the country?
It is very simple to distinguish whether it is a real farmer cooperative or not, and it depends on how their interests are set up.
For those who carry out agricultural production under the banner of cooperatives, the peasant households who are members of the cooperatives are basically unable to participate in any decision-making and cannot share the profits fairly. The so-called "cooperatives" are more likely to bring exclusive profits to the founders of large households, leading enterprises or various companies, and they are not real farmers' cooperatives.
The fact that the Jiagu cooperatives can have today is not just a sentence that can be summed up by "improving agricultural productivity".
From the perspective of productivity, it has certainly broken the pattern of small-scale peasant production, but from the perspective of benefit distribution, it has inherited the long-standing income pattern of "part-time work and half-farming" based on the intergenerational division of labor in rural China.
"Part-time work and half-farming", that is, the older generation is working at home, and the young people go out to work, and the two generations work and work at the same time to obtain two incomes, so as to obtain relatively decent living conditions.
It is this model that makes smallholder farming extremely viable – many migrant workers who find it difficult to gain a foothold in the cities do not transfer their farmland, let alone sell it, but leave it to their elderly parents to cultivate. The parents cultivate a small plot of land and have a small income, but they can basically cope with the family's general social expenses and solve the problem of food and clothing for the family. With their parents' income from farming, young people can save their income from working in the city.
The most wonderful and difficult thing about the interest pattern set up by the Jiagu cooperatives is that they do not deprive the peasants of the opportunity to obtain basic income from the land, but instead liberate the peasants from hard and inefficient labor.
According to Tian Renli's understanding, many elderly farmers give their land to the Jiagu Cooperative to plant, and get dividends every year, and at the same time, they can take care of the next generation for their children, reduce the pressure on their children, and I don't know how much family conflicts have been reduced.
If it weren't for the "stability-maintaining" role of the Jiagu cooperatives themselves, Tian Renli would have said with certainty that at a time when the land circulation and management policies are relatively vague, Jiagu would have wanted to quietly develop the cooperatives to their current scale.
On the other hand, the mood of Guo Changchang, the director of the Yellow Flood Farm, is relatively more complicated.
In almost all provinces and autonomous regions of the country, the degree of agricultural mechanization, the level of science and technology, the degree of agricultural organization, and the ability of comprehensive agricultural services of state-owned farms are better than those of the localities. Being able to provide 10 percent of the state's ordered grain with less than 4 percent of the country's arable land has always been a source of pride for national farmers like Guo Changchang.
When Jiagu Capital first began to organize small farmers through cooperatives from the top down, farmers like him would still be wary of whether agricultural capitalists wanted to make excess profits from agriculture by organizing farmers.
- Because this is exactly the situation in Japan and South Korea. Their strong integrated agricultural cooperatives have fairly strong control over the agricultural market, and agricultural products can be sold at good prices, but at the same time, their citizens have to bear the higher cost of food expenditure.
Some people may question that the quality of Chinese agricultural products is not as good as that produced in Japan and South Korea, but for most Chinese, including ordinary people in Japan and South Korea, the first thing is to eat, and then to eat with high quality. When the "high-class people" with high economic income pay attention to the quality and taste of food, people with average economic income must first have to eat.
No matter how you look at it, Jiagu is also taking a similar path to the Japan-Korea Agricultural Association, right?
Then, all those who thought like this were slapped in the face by Jiagu.
Most of the income of the Jiagu cooperatives allows the members to share the profits, and they reduce costs by controlling the whole industrial chain, mainly through secondary processing, which is their ability.
The continuous improvement of productivity is the only way to make the state farms capitalize the word "service"!
What is "productivity improvement"? The simplest and most crude thing is to increase production! Increase production!
In the case of soybeans, the Jiagu cooperative was able to reach the yield level of genetically modified soybeans in the United States before, which was already considered a riotous operation, and as soon as "Jiadou No. 13" came out, Director Guo had no intention of comparing.
You are "reform", and others are directly "revolutionary", and they dare not compare, dare not compare.
On the contrary, he had to be cheeky to come and seek cooperation.
Qi Zheng smiled and said, "You want to ask about 'Jiadou No. 13', right?"
Tian Renli said neatly: "That's right, you have to give priority to leaving enough seeds and means of production for our state farms." ”
"No problem. Qi Zheng also replied crisply.
Not to mention that Tian Renli has always supported Jiagu in developing domestic soybean friendship, and he has taken the initiative to rush to the front line of "soybean revitalization" for many large state-owned farms, and Qi Zheng will not embarrass them.
"You also have to send someone to teach planting techniques, and you have to learn and learn. ”
"You send someone to the training base of Jiagu Agriculture to study, and I will let Xie Kaiji arrange it. Qi Zheng smiled and said, "However, the price of seeds and special rhizobia preparations will definitely be much higher." ”
"I understand. Tian Renli said with a smile, he didn't expect the price that Jiagu supplied to them to be the same as the price supplied to the cooperative.
Friendship is friendship, business is business. To put it mildly, the soybean disposal rights of the Jiagu cooperatives belong to Jiagu, but not to the state-owned farms. Jiagu doesn't make money on seeds and rhizobia preparations, so why should I contribute to you?
Just thinking about these increased costs, which are simply not worth mentioning compared to doubling production, Tian Renli can not only accept this fact, but also be excited.
Similarly, Director Guo thinks the same way. Can we give priority to the large-scale introduction of "Jiadou No. 13", which means that the benefits of the farm can be doubled, and who is not excited?
"With your permission, I have the confidence to fight the battle of domestic soybeans. Tian Renli rubbed his hands and said with a strange expression, "I just received a message that the International Soybean Growers Alliance is preparing to publicize our Ministry of Agriculture, hoping to speed up the approval process of new genetically modified soybean varieties......
Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, and also laughed strangely.
