Generally speaking, when recruiting, there must be a big plan.

Chen Zhenian is like this, while encouraging young people to join the cause of marine ranch construction, he throws out a big expansion plan, ignoring the fact that it is making a lot of noise in a small area.

The first person to contact the plan was Director Liu of the Marine Economy Department of Qindao.

As a coastal city with a long coastline of more than 800 kilometers, Qindao has always been at the forefront of the country in marine science and technology, with more than 40% of the country's marine scientific research institutions at or above the provincial level, 30% of the country's high-level marine scientific research personnel, and 42% of the country's ocean-related academicians. It is only natural that the headquarters of the Marine Ranching business segment is located in this coastal city.

Therefore, Liu Chu is not a stranger to Chen Zhenian.

But even so, when I saw the big plan report submitted by Jiagu, my heart was still like being trampled by 10,000 grass and mud horses.

Another "30 billion" plan? I know that your Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry have recently been supported by the Ministry of Agriculture, and they are "making waves" in the pig industry, but they don't bring grass to beat rabbits?

Let's take a look at his plan: "Apply for 10,000 square kilometers of sea area and invest 30 billion yuan to build a super marine ranch ......"

Liu Chu only felt that he had picked up a hot potato.

Not to mention anything else, what is the concept of 10,000 square kilometers of sea area?

The total area of China's territorial sea, continental shelf and exclusive economic zone is only about 3 million square kilometers, and the sea area within the baselines of Qindao's territorial sea is only more than 8,000 square kilometers...... Although the scope of Jiagu's plan to build a marine ranch is not limited to the waters of Qindao, it is obvious that such a plan will be submitted to the Fisheries and Fishery Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Liu Chu, who was in charge of this plan, couldn't sit still, and hurriedly found Chen Zhenian: "Is your plan serious? ”

Chen Zhenian nodded to Liu: "Of course it's serious, why should I bargain with you?"

Liu Chu stared at Chen Zhenian.

Chen Zhenian looked back at him inexplicably and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Of course there is a problem, but it is a big problem!

Liu Chu wanted to see where he got his confidence, and felt that the 30 billion marine ranch plan had the possibility of approval.

As a professional in the field of marine economy, Liu is well aware of the weight of "development of thousands of miles of sea area".

"Farming" the ocean like the land is a dream for many people.

The first revolution in agriculture and animal husbandry thousands of years ago enabled mankind to complete a major transformation from gathering and hunting to planting and grazing production methods, and also opened a chapter of green agriculture based on water and soil. Today, when countries around the world are plagued by land shortages, environmental degradation, and population expansion, blue agriculture, that is, ocean-based aquatic agriculture, has once again played the prelude to a new worldwide agricultural revolution.

For the domestic agricultural, scientific and even biological circles, the development of the "blue granary" has always been an attractive carrot.

Liu Chu was also tempted by this carrot once, but he had no money and no one, so he just thought about it.

Jiagu is rich and has people.

Moreover, he also knew that Jiagu had been conducting relevant research for a long time - not only in cooperation with the country's top marine scientific research institutions, but also in their own recruitment, recruiting a large number of oceanographic professionals.

However, research is research, investment and construction is another concept, and super-large-scale investment and construction is like a dream.

Liu Chu also thought before that if Jiagu was fully prepared, he would not be able to take the lead in playing the overture to the large-scale development of the "blue granary".

What he didn't expect was that Jiagu would play this overture so quickly, and there was no preparation at all.

Shouldn't such a large project be tried to operate in the form of demonstrations and meetings after the chickens and sheep were slaughtered and the three animals were sacrificed?

Liu Chu looked at Chen Zhenian, suspicious with weirdness: "Mr. Chen, you must know that such a plan is estimated to be sent all the way up to the State Council for approval, not to mention whether it can be successfully passed, once the approval is passed, it will be really put into development, your company is really ready?"

The area suitable for aquaculture is also limited, and in general, mariculture tends to revolve around the perimeter of the continental shelf.

The continental shelf, which is the part of the land coast that extends below the surface of the sea. It is a shallow sea area, the water depth is generally less than 200 meters, the salinity of the sea is relatively stable, and the light is sufficient, which is conducive to the growth of plankton and submarine plants, and is an ideal habitat for many marine organisms, and the world's major fishing grounds are often distributed here.

The East China Sea and the South China Sea both have huge continental shelves, and the natural conditions for the development of marine aquaculture are superior. From the point of view of the huge development value, it is difficult not to doubt that the plan of Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is to "enclose land" -- isn't this the case in the pig industry?

It is also an investment scale of more than 30 billion yuan, and it is also the main investment body of Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry, so it is no wonder that Liu Chu made this idea.

Chen Zhenian does not deny that he has the idea of "enclosure", but to say that he threw out such a big plan just for the sake of "enclosure", it would be too underestimating Jiagu's pursuit.

"Our ultimate goal is to promote a 'blue revolution'. In the process, marine farming will eventually replace wild-caught seafood and provide more than a billion people with sustainable, high-quality protein. Believe me, the sea is not our end. ”

Liu Chu is not a college student who has just left school, and he believes what Chen Zhenian said about "changing the world" and "reaching the peak of life".

On the contrary, as an old fritter, he even wants to laugh a little about such "clichés".

Then, he also really smiled: "Mr. Chen, it's a good thing to have a lofty goal, but let's take it step by step, right?"

Good boy!

Isn't it enough to say that the entire Chinese mainland is within the development radius of Jiagu?

At this point, Chen Zhenian also saw Liu Chu's disapproval, he stood up a little straighter, and said: "Liu, you may not know that there has always been laughter outside the door of our Jiagu system. ”

"Huh?" Liu didn't understand.

"When Jiagu was first established, the whole industry chain model was taken as the company's development goal, and the laughter at that time was even greater. After all, the model of the whole industry chain was an innovation of a world-class grain merchant at that time. Chen Zhenian glanced at Liu Chu and said slowly: "No one thinks that Jiagu, who was born at that time, can make a world-class whole industry chain model, and the peers who know our company's goals are all looking at jokes......

In fact, Chen Zhenian did not experience that scene, but, thinking back then, as a member of the Jiagu system, he still unconsciously puffed up his chest.

Chen Zhenian looked at Liu Chu with a smile and continued: "Later, the company engaged in '10,000 head ranch' to control the quality from the milk source, but no one was optimistic, but everyone knew that after the poisoned milk incident, we still kicked those smiling faces. ”

"And then to the development of the Northwest Desert, you may have heard about this as well. Chen Zhenian pursed his lips unabashedly and said: "Everyone thinks that this is a fantasy, and the laughter has spread abroad, and there has been more than one public opinion war for this." But now look at the oasis of greening, those who were embarrassed to laugh back then are now embarrassed to show up in front of us. ”

He paused slightly, faced Liu, and asked, "Now, I said that we are going to build a super marine ranch, who would dare to laugh?"

The smile on Liu's face has long been gone.

He seemed to recall now that Jiagu, a company, had never been the master of common sense.

In China, there are naturally some companies that can create miracles.

However, it is not an exaggeration to say that miracles can be created repeatedly.

Such a "miracle worker", before encountering Waterloo, even if he spoke wildly, who would dare to laugh?

At least, people are not putting out the unreliable "wild talk" of "blowing up the Himalayas and introducing the warm Atlantic Current", and they have actually invested in marine ranching for many years.

Liu Chu suddenly felt that he seemed to be laughing a little early.

"The development of the sea is still different from the development of the land. He tried his best to find a similar explanation.

Chen Zhenian was noncommittal, but he no longer refuted: "Hand over the plan first, anyway, it will definitely be evaluated by experts." If it says it doesn't work, then it's not too late for us to change it, right? ”

Liu Chu was not convinced, but at this point, he couldn't say anything else against it.

......

As expected, after such a plan was handed over, the relevant departments were shocked.

I don't know how others reacted to Qi Zheng, but he received a call from Minister Han of the Ministry of Agriculture as soon as possible.

Han didn't focus on the scale of the sea area, the scale of investment, or anything, but he grasped the key point as soon as he came up: "How sure is Jiagu of this plan?"

Here it comes!

As soon as Qi Zheng received the call, he smiled bitterly.

To talk about the introduction of this plan, he was also taken aback.

In terms of Jiagu's financial system, not to mention the 30 billion project, tens of millions of projects will be marked red as soon as possible in the documents that Qi Zheng must deal with immediately, and projects of more than one million will be placed in the documents that Qi Zheng must read.

At that time, seeing the two reports handed over by Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry at the same time, Qi Zheng felt that the whole person was not good--I have a big problem, where did a 30 billion plan come out?

It stands to reason that such a project is not to be launched, even if it is to start preparation, there will be documents sent to Qi Zheng as soon as possible, how can it be so sudden?

It wasn't until Chen Zhenian was called that he got a thorough understanding of the various things behind this 30 billion plan.

As we all know, China's freshwater fish consumption is much higher than the world average, but there is still a certain gap between seafood consumption and developed countries. In particular, there is still a big gap with European and American countries in terms of technology, product quality, and environmental protection, which cannot be piled up simply by increasing output.

Take the mainstream aquaculture method of marine fish as an example.

At present, the mainstream breeding methods include cage farming mode, factory farming mode, multi-level nutrient ecological model and other models.

As the name suggests, the cage model is to put cages in water and breed in cages. The economic benefits of this method are good, intensive, and the cost of nearshore cages is relatively low, but like farming, the same animal seedlings are sown on a seabed for a long time, and the native marine life loses its living space, and environmental degradation is also imagined.

The factory farming model uses equipment to create an environment suitable for fish survival in the factory, and the high-density and refined aquaculture of seafood has a huge investment and high maintenance cost, but it can realize the intensification of aquaculture, and if it is treated properly, it can reduce pollution.

The multi-level nutrient ecological model is through the co-cultivation of algae and fish and shrimp to form a small ecosystem, which can realize the full use of feed and other inputs, and has little impact on the environment if properly designed, but the unit yield is relatively low.

——Naturally, due to the simple technology and low investment, the mode of near-shore cages has become the most mainstream marine aquaculture method in China.

From the perspective of the highest sustainability, Kagu chose the third model without any suspense.

The premise of the success of the multi-level nutrient ecological model is that the water space, the status of bait resources and the life and growth requirements of the aquaculture species coincide and interspecific mutual benefit, so there should be clear requirements for the species and quantity, rather than a simple matching.

For related research, Jiagu Laboratory has set up an oceanographic research team of more than 700 people, and has cooperated with the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Ocean University and other units.

Funding is sufficient, staffing is sufficient, and there is no reason why it should not produce results. After several years of exploration, the research team has solved a series of common key technical problems in the conservation of marine resources, such as the construction technology of ecological reefs in typical sea areas, and the sowing and proliferation technology of macroalgae in natural sea areas.

The experts of the research team agreed that these research results have broad prospects for popularization and application.

At that time, the outbreak of non-plague brought a considerable gap to the domestic pork supply, and also brought a dazzling performance outbreak to Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry.

From the perspective of Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry, business diversification is conducive to countering the risk of declining performance when pig prices fall in the post-pig cycle, and from the perspective of national animal protein supply, diversified supply channels can also fight the risk in animal epidemics such as non-plague, and marine food has a high high-quality protein content compared to terrestrial food.

Fueled by all kinds of fuels, Chen Zhenian threw out a big plan of "30 billion investment to build a ranch in the sea of 10,000 miles". It's just that what he didn't expect was that his boss threw 30 billion on the pig expansion plan in less than two months, causing his momentum to completely overshadow his plan and arouse a lot of suspicion.

Han Bu listened to Qi Zheng's speech for half an hour before he completely figured out the ins and outs of another "30 billion" plan for Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry.

"In other words, Jiagu has a successful demonstration sample?" Han Bu, who was on the other end of the phone, listened with anticipation and once again grasped the point.

"Hmm. Qi Zheng nodded, realizing that the other party was not face-to-face, so he added: "The demonstration effect of the sea ranch is quite good. ”

"Okay! This plan will be studied by me first, and then I will send a team of experts to Jiagu Marine Ranch to make an assessment, if it is mature and feasible, it will be of great significance to our country. Han Bu laughed.

Qi Zheng agreed, and said: "This is the best, it just so happens that we will also organize some investors to visit the site recently, and many things are ready-made." ”

Han Bu understood as soon as he heard it, and smiled and said, "It seems that you are full of confidence!"

Qi Zheng smiled but said nothing.
