Chapter 166: The Anxiety of Backwardness (1/4)

In the face of the olive branch thrown by Qi Zheng, Gao Peng did not refuse, but he did not respond immediately.

Qi Zheng said that it was understandable, and later discussed some application ideas of meteorological services with Gao Peng, left contact information for Gao Peng, who was hesitant, and left.

Although Qi Zheng has great expectations for the establishment of a digital agricultural platform that "shines satellites into the farmland", this is not destined to see results in a short period of time. Whether Gao Peng finally agreed to the acquisition, Qi Zheng actually didn't care very much, with Jiagu's current strength, it is not difficult to recruit relevant talents to carry out research, at most it is a little troublesome to set up a team from scratch.

Continue the tour.

Next up is the agricultural machinery exhibition area.

The agricultural machinery exhibition area covers the largest area, after all, there are many large and considerable high-end tillage machines, precision no-tillage seeders, and high-horsepower power-shift tractors......

There are also self-propelled mowers, double rake rakes, and balers that Jiagu Ranch needs to purchase......

It is extremely difficult for agriculture to increase production as a whole, even if it is 2 or 3. However, due to improper harvesting and storage in China every year, grain loss accounts for a huge proportion, far more than 3 proportions. Therefore, from the perspective of planting and harvesting, agricultural machinery is of great help to increase production in fact.

But Qi Zheng has gone all the way, and an impressive scene is that the high-end agricultural machinery exhibited is basically monopolized by foreign capital.

John Deere in green, Keys in red, Kubota in blue and white......

Although most of them are under the banner of joint ventures, who does not know that foreign capital actually maintains an absolute controlling stake.

Of course, it is not completely devoid of a foothold in domestic agricultural machinery, at least there are small red tractors - Dongfanghong is not?

It was a strange feeling, especially when the employees of those joint ventures were very proud to tell Qi Zheng how advanced their agricultural machinery was, "It's all imported technology!" said a salesman riding on a high-powered plow, patting the window, "This guy has more horsepower than a tank!"

However, behind this pride, Qi Zheng faintly perceives the backwardness and anxiety of the domestic agricultural machinery industry.

Also from this year, agricultural machinery purchase subsidies as a long-term policy was written into the No. 1 document of the central government. Qi Zheng also knows that the intensity of state subsidies will continue to increase, the models of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies will be from less to more to excellent, and the scope of subsidies will range from some farmers to all farmers.

However, although the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy has helped the agricultural machinery industry to become bigger, it has not helped domestic agricultural machinery enterprises to become stronger.

The world's top five agricultural machinery giants are now in full swing to lay out the domestic market. They rely on advanced technology and financial strength to inhibit the technological innovation of latecomers in domestic enterprises.

In fact, when Qi Zheng visited the state-owned large farms in Hei Province before, he found that especially in high-horsepower tractors and large agricultural machinery, Hei Province introduced a large number of foreign equipment, and the purchase volume of domestic brands was almost zero.

It just so happened that Qi Zheng and Tian Renli of Jiusan Grease met at the exhibition, and when he talked about this topic, he smiled bitterly, "That's because to make a tractor with more than 100 horsepower, you must independently develop core technology." As far as I know, although many domestic companies have carried out research and development and innovation attempts in related fields, and have launched several tractor products with more than 200 horsepower, they have never really achieved mass production. ”

"The domestic 200 horsepower tractors of various manufacturers have not really solved the key technologies in many aspects such as drive and transmission, and are still in the prototype stage. ”

......

"In fact, it is mainly caused by the lack of research and development of key core components!" In the booth of a domestic agricultural machinery company, an acquaintance of Tian Renli revealed the pain points of domestic agricultural machinery research and development to the two.

"The key core components of the agricultural machinery manufacturing industry, mainly including high-end hydraulic parts, seals, transmission parts and other parts, are precisely these inconspicuous parts that support the advanced and reliable ...... of agricultural machinery products."

Most people are a little dizzy just to clarify the definition and classification of the above components. However, these key core components are often mentioned not only in the agricultural machinery manufacturing industry, but also in many manufacturing industries.

The components are small, but they connect the entire industrial system – metal parts are related to the steel industry, and seals are connected to the chemical industry...... The backwardness of any link in the industrial system will restrict the quality of the final agricultural machinery products.

This is the key to the daunting research and development of agricultural machinery, and it is also the most difficult point for domestic agricultural machinery enterprises, because this is not only a problem of one enterprise, but also a systemic problem.

The industry insider even expressed dissatisfaction with the newly introduced agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy, "the implementation of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies should be regarded as government procurement." At the very least, agricultural machinery directly imported from abroad, especially tractors with more than 150 horsepower and supporting machinery, should not enjoy subsidies for the purchase of machinery; agricultural machinery manufactured by foreign-funded enterprises in China with a localization rate of less than 60 percent should not enjoy government subsidies.

Of course, Tian Renli, who stood on the side of consumers, retorted with a smile, "Of course, your agricultural machinery factory wants to set access conditions, but for purchasers, it is unfair competition......

Next, the two of them quarreled with each other, and you came and went.

Qi Zheng did not comment on whether this is in line with the spirit of the market economy, but in his view, the gap between domestic agricultural machinery enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises is not only in technology and capital.

Look up at the advertising slogans of domestic agricultural machinery enterprises around them, such as "leader", "leader", "crown", "expert" and other words are overflowing, and solutions, filling gaps, etc. are endless.

In China, many agricultural machinery enterprises have a very majestic dream, often to bring the enterprise to the world's high-end, even if not, it has to become China's most awesome enterprise; or no matter how bad, can not be lower than the champion of the peer.

Not to mention how foreign-funded agricultural machinery enterprises stick to products and quality, at least in terms of sales concept compared with China, beyond the number of levels.

They will also use small sales methods, but more to cultivate users' consumption habits and loyalty, and the concept of educating employees and communicating to the outside world is even more awe-inspiring.

In the case of John Deere, their slogan is not to produce non-conforming products, and the deep idea is based on food security. That said, John Deere's mission is to make food go smoothly so that we can eat. Similarly, Case New Holland came up with the slogan of feeding the planet. Kubota's philosophy is to strive for industries that are closely related to human beings, such as land, water, and the environment......

Even if it's high-sounding, people still sound a lot better than your simple bragging, doesn't it?

Of course, even if the fact of backwardness is in front of us, Jiagu will not get involved in the manufacture of agricultural machinery.

But there is still support for domestic agricultural machinery.

Agricultural machinery is not like other products, just follow the path of others. Agricultural machinery is aimed at the land and crops on the land, which must be adapted to local conditions, and those who copy other countries may not be able to work in our country.

Agricultural machinery is also different from vehicles such as cars.

The car is a means of transportation, and you only need to pay attention to the maintenance when there is a problem, and it is not a big problem to use it and other aspects of life. Agricultural machinery is different, everyone knows that agricultural production is not only planting, harvesting, but also storage, processing, follow-up processing and other links.

These links are interlinked and interconnected. Therefore, the development of an agricultural machinery is not only the development of the machinery itself, but also the development of all links and industries related to it.

Therefore, Qi Zheng's principle for Jiagu is to find a few domestic agricultural machinery enterprises with certain strength, cooperate in production, education and research, and appropriately support the differentiated development of domestic agricultural machinery.

The most typical example is Kubota's agricultural machinery in the island nation.

Although they are all Orientals, they are quite different from the Chinese in this regard - we recognize that the gap between domestic agricultural machinery and imported goods is mainly the gap between high-horsepower machinery. But Kubota is different, they stick to the small and medium-sized agricultural machinery market.

Although there are factors of their respective national conditions, their differentiation strategy has successfully monopolized the field of paddy field agricultural machinery market. This is undoubtedly a reference for domestic agricultural machinery.
