This question of the provincial boss is similar to the later generation of "The era of artificial intelligence is coming, where will manpower go?"

Some people think it's the end of the world, and some people think that there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain.

Qi Zheng understands the worries of the provincial bosses, simply put, the quality of the cane farmers is not high, and they are also accustomed to planting and harvesting cane, if large-scale mechanization is realized, even if they can get dividends through the shares of cooperatives, but they can't be idle, right?

However, it can be seen from Jiagu's previous mechanization practice that development is the key to solving all problems.

"In fact, there is still a lot of room for imagination in the modern agricultural industry, and farmers are not afraid that there is no way out. Take our sugarcane interplanting soybeans as an example, the soybean harvest obviously depends on manpower, and the cane farmers can also taste another sweetness. Qi Zheng pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Moreover, in Gui province, in addition to sugarcane, there is a ready-made industry that is difficult to mechanize, which also requires a lot of human resources and has great development potential. ”

"Oh?" the provincial boss's eyes lit up, "You're talking about ......"

"Fruit planting!" Qi Zheng revealed the answer.

The picking and packaging of fruits require a large number of manpower, and can also form a staggered peak with the harvest period of soybeans and sugarcane, which is a good supplement to solve the employment of sugarcane farmers.

But the provincial boss looked embarrassed.

Without him, although the fruit planting industry in Gui Province is very large, even if it is not a radish or a pit, it is still quite difficult to absorb so many sugarcane farmers who want to transform.

And if you want to continue to expand the scale of fruit planting, it is very easy to lead to overproduction - fruit is the most unsalable agricultural product, because it is not resistant to storage, coupled with centralized marketing, a large number of fruits will festered in the ground if you are not careful.

But since Qi Zheng suggested so, he naturally had a plan.

He said softly: "We in Jiagu are about to launch a 'agricultural product uplink supply chain plan', which is to go deep into the fields on a large scale, based on Jiagu's platform, technology and resources, so that rural agricultural products can go up, and reach consumers across the country with better products and more advantageous prices...... We hope to use the fruit industry in Gui Province as a starting point for our plans. ”

In China, the production, transportation and circulation of agricultural products have not been industrialized, and the experience of agricultural products from land to table can be said to go through many links, and each link has to increase the price by about 30% to 50% because of labor, input, loss, etc.

The essence of Jiagu's "agricultural product upward supply chain plan" is to accelerate the circulation efficiency of agricultural products.

The reason for daring to implement such a plan is that after years of continuous investment and construction in the warehousing and logistics network, and after the merger and acquisition of GLP Logistics Real Estate, Jiagu has a mature and low-cost warehousing and logistics network, which can reduce intermediate links and allow agricultural products to go directly from the land to the consumer's table.

"Let the agricultural products go up and go straight to the sales terminal......" The provincial boss paced slowly, listening attentively.

After a while, he said happily: "Okay! I didn't expect Jiagu to have such a heart. Not to mention, we in Gui Province absolutely fully support this plan of Jiagu......"

......

"After five years of laying out and three years of piloting, we have finally come to this point!" Zhong Huazhi of Jiagu International said with emotion when he was about to launch the "Agricultural Products Uplink Supply Chain Plan".

As the executor of the plan, Jiagu International can be said to have worked hard.

Since the integration of Jiagu Group five years ago, Jiagu International has undertaken the group's warehousing and logistics business...... If it weren't for the support of the group, it would have gone bankrupt a hundred times.

Today, Jiagu International has perfected the warehousing and logistics network covering the whole country, which not only meets the needs of the group's internal business, but also expands its territory.

"However, it was not surprising that the company would use Gui Province as the starting point for the project, rather than the more familiar Minh or Jiangyou provinces. Zhong Huazhi wondered.

Qi Zheng, who made the decision, explained: "First, Gui Province is a province with good agricultural resource endowments, and secondly, I want to help it maintain a balance between economy and environment." ”

"Gui Province is a good place!"

Although the total economic volume and GDP of Gui Province rank low among all provinces and regions in the country, there is one thing that is absolutely high in the country - the hometown of longevity.

It turned out that it was only known that there was a Bama County in Gui Province as early as 1991, which was rated as the "Hometown of Longevity in the World" by the International Association of Natural Medicine, and ranked among the "Top Five Longevity Towns in the World". But when he came to Gui Province, Qi Zheng found that Gui Province is full of longevity towns - the proportion of people over 100 years old far exceeds that of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and other economically developed areas with superior medical conditions.

Many provinces have developed industries, but Gui Province offers one of the most scarce and precious products in China and the world – satisfying people's desire for longevity.

The happiness index of the people of Guizhou Province is among the highest in the country, because it has clean skies, clear rivers and healthy food that cannot be exchanged for GDP in other provinces and regions, and there is a livable landscape and a healthy food environment, where you can enjoy a high quality of life - in the eyes of many people, isn't the wealth accumulated by economic growth precisely for the pursuit of such a comfortable life?

All the world's "longevity towns" have clear water and green mountains, high forest coverage, fresh air rich in negative oxygen ions, and clean water from nature. And it is difficult for these to coexist with modernization and industrialization.

Therefore, the development plan and strategy of Gui Province always show hesitation: is it to pursue GDP, or to pursue the ecological environment of the hometown of longevity?

Qi Zheng hopes that it is the latter - other things, other provinces and regions in the country can contribute, but can they contribute to longevity?

However, it is also human nature to pursue a prosperous life.

It is difficult for industry and longevity to coexist, but there is no contradiction between affluence and longevity.

Ecological agriculture is Jiagu's contribution to this.

"Starting from the fruit industry, promote the ecological agriculture of Guizhou Province to form an advantageous industry, so that the 'longevity' ......will last forever" is a good wish of Qi Zheng.

......

"In China, there are several provinces and regions that can be called 'fruit baskets', but there is only one like Gui Province! There are not only the soil and climate that subtropical fruits love, but also thousands of acres of temperate fruits, such as persimmons, pears, peaches, grapes, etc., each fruit has dozens or even hundreds of varieties...... Lu Xiaochuan, president of the Gui Fruit Industry Association, was appointed by the government to connect with Jiagu.

Over the years, he has traveled to almost every corner of Guangxi, and he has talked about Guangxi's fruits.

"The most beautiful thing is that the climate and environment make the fruit a beating note, and it can enter the sales market at a staggered peak with fruits from other origins. Every year, when the fruits of Southeast Asia are on the market, the fruits of Gui Province are in the growing season, and when the fruits of Gui Province are ripe, the fruits of Vietnam are in the recuperation period......"

Qi Zheng and Zhong Huazhi looked at each other and smiled, "This is one of the reasons why we chose Gui Province. ”
