Chapter 662: Emerging Plants Change the World (Part II)
Just when the executives of various companies had their own thoughts, Ma Kui, the vice president of PetroChina, looked at the oil-painted willow grass base and the fenced Qi Zheng, but he was full of thoughts.
As a powerful executive of a large central enterprise, he has his own pride, and rarely admires a certain person or company.
Although many people talk about state-owned enterprises, they are monopolizing resources, enjoying policies, and inefficient; even if some state-owned enterprises are very profitable, they are not admirable, because state-owned enterprises do not make money by their real ability, but by their policy advantages...... Balabala's.
Ma Kui has always ignored such voices.
You only see the advantages of enjoying the policy, why don't you talk about the fact that in addition to paying taxes, the profits of state-owned enterprises must also be handed over to the state treasury? Why don't you talk about the additional social responsibilities undertaken by state-owned enterprises?
Oh, you say that you should make this contribution, but you must know that enterprises use resources, and state-owned enterprises are the same as other enterprises. In other words, resources are not used by state-owned enterprises, that is, they are used by other enterprises. It is used by state-owned enterprises to generate tax revenue, profits and employment, and by other enterprises to generate tax revenue and employment. Could it be that without state-owned enterprises, resources would be better utilized?
No matter what kind of ownership an enterprise is, it will be life and death, and if it is large, it may lead to corruption, occupy a lot of resources, monopolize the market, commit fraud and breach of trust, and so on -- Microsoft is not necessarily a little less bureaucratic than the state-owned enterprises, and Google is not necessarily a little more disciplined than the state-owned enterprises.
However, railways were built on the plateau, base stations were built in sparsely populated areas, and wires were pulled between deep mountains and dangerous streams...... These are certainly not going to be what Google and the like would do.
Of course, Ma also acknowledges that SOEs need to get better. But if all enterprises only think about making money and not about anything else, people may not even be able to afford water and electricity, and it is rare to have a phone call in Xisha and a highway on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
However, Ma Kui's perception of Jiagu as a company and Qi Zheng is very different.
If state-owned enterprises enjoy policy advantages and need to assume additional social responsibilities, Jiagu, which is known as "the most state-like private enterprise", is taking a completely different path - promoting the progress of the industry through technological change, and giving more people the opportunity to create wealth.
Throughout history, every scientific and technological advancement and epoch-making change has created new industries, products and services, and thus more jobs. Ma Kui feels that Jiagu's achievements in the emerging field of biotechnology deserve the same praise.
The intersection between PetroChina and Jiagu Group began with the cooperation of Jiagu's super jatropha energy project.
Although there has not been as much coverage and attention as Jiadou 13, Jiagu's super jatropha tree may be the beginning of a huge project to change the way humans obtain energy.
Since three years ago, PetroChina and Jiagu have built a jatropha energy forest base in Jin Province, which has exceeded one million acres so far. The earliest energy forests have entered the peak fruiting period, with an average yield of more than 600 kilograms per mu, an average oil yield of up to 80 percent, and the cost of refining one ton of biodiesel is lower than that of all other biological resources.
Also similar to the plasticized switchgrass, Jiagu's super jatropha tree can decompose cinder as nutrients by inoculating special mycorrhizal fungi, and "turn coal into bioenergy" in abandoned coal mining areas...... As far as he knows, Jin Province and the National Energy Administration have launched a comprehensive investigation of the two jatropha energy forest bases, with a view to making arguments for building Jin Province into an emerging bioenergy capital.
At that time, according to the experience of the Jatropha Energy Forest Base, a large number of coal miners in Shanxi Province who have lost their jobs due to the coal reform and the end of the golden period of the coal industry will find a new way out.
Therefore, while others are still doubting the authenticity of Jiagu Eco-Friendly's plastic-dissolving bacteria and plastic-growing plants, Ma Kui is sure that Jiagu will create another miracle.
Because this is the Jiagu Road – the domestication of plant varieties that used to have almost zero use and value into important raw material products with a wide range of uses and great value-added potential.
Just a decade ago, jatropha was a poisonous tree that grew in the wilderness, but today it has become a benchmark plant for green energy development, and just a few years ago, switchgrass grew as a weed in the wilderness of North America, and today it has become a model plant for the development of bio-based plastics......
Moreover, he did not know whether Jiagu was intentional or unintentional, but the new plants domesticated by Jiagu were suitable for growing in barren or barren lands, which were often poor and most in need of resources.
He was inclined to do it on purpose, because that's the extra social responsibility that Jiagu assumes!
He also has reason to believe that the road to Jiagu has just seen the starting point.
Since plants can produce plastic, is there a day when humanity will have a completely environmentally friendly planet? When we need gold, we don't need to go to the mines, we just burn a handful of golden grass, and when the industry needs steel, we deal with it......
Not to mention that this is fanciful, as far as he knows, Jiagu Labs is working on stronger metallic super-rich plants that are expected to absorb important metals directly from landfills, just like plasticized switchgrass.
Ma Kui suddenly gloated a little.
There is no doubt that both the birth of the super jatropha tree and the birth of the plasticized switchgrass are moments worthy of eternal remembrance in China's energy fossil industry.
They still have the opportunity to innovate at the same time, but for their foreign counterparts, the value of the "old" technological system is bound to be greatly reduced.
This is the inevitable consequence of the interweaving of the old and the new.
Thinking of this, Ma Kui cheered up, squeezed to Qi Zheng's side, and asked a core question: "Qi Dong, if we want to cooperate with Jiagu Environmental Protection, how will the rights and interests be distributed?"
Qi Zheng obviously had an answer, and there was no stumbling block, and he said with a smile: "We don't invest heavily in assets, Jiagu Environmental Protection only gives you technical guidance, well, Jiagu Environmental Protection Company hopes to become a Schlumberger in the environmental protection industry." ”
Schlumberger is the world's largest petroleum technical service provider, and they do not extract oil themselves, but rely on technical services to become the world's top 500 companies.
Jiagu Environmental Protection Company focuses on technical services, which can not only quickly return funds, but also gain considerable control and influence in the industry.
But this is definitely not good news for many company executives at the scene.
Jiagu Environmental Protection does not plan to contribute, and naturally requires the partner to have strong financial strength. It is difficult for companies with weak strength to get their hands on Jiagu's black technology biotechnology, at least, it is difficult to get involved in the first wave of diffusion.
And the powerful company executives, looking at each other, instantly sparked sparks.
