Chapter 44: The Harvest

Zhao Juan was very efficient, and soon rented a workplace in Zhongguancun, which was very spacious, with a usable area of 1,700 square meters, and soon began renovation construction. She chased Tian Chuan to determine the company's logo and the company's façade decoration style.

Teng Yue was also very fast, it only took less than a week to build a framework out, but Tian Chuan was not very satisfied, the two discussed for two days in a row, Tian Chuan successfully instilled the concept of Baidu Encyclopedia and Knowing and Literature to Teng Yue. The reason why Tagawa chose this entry point is that at the beginning of the development of the Internet, the Internet users are mainly technical personnel, and the attraction of encyclopedias, knowledge and forums to such people is not to be doubted. After these early people develop the habit of surfing the Internet, they have a very powerful role in demonstrating and guiding later netizens. And later, encyclopedia and knowledge will cover all aspects of life and become one of the necessities of life.

Tian Chuan asked Teng Yue to develop instant messaging software and other content independently, as long as it can be accessed in time through links.

Later, under Teng Yue's introduction, Tian Chuan met with his roommate, an industrial engineer. That person's name is Jiang Xiaoguang, and he has rich experience in the field of industrial engineering. Tian Chuan hired him with an annual salary of 110,000 yuan, and worked in a machinery company, responsible for the company's industrial design and standardization work, and Cheng Hai temporarily served as an assistant to him.

Professor Zhao has come up with the overall design module of the on-demand planter and harvester, and is in the process of verifying the functions of some key systems. The validation testing machine involved was manufactured by a mechanical company. The machinery company specially dispatched two senior technicians and one technician to form a research team with Professor Zhao's team to work day and night to design and trial produce new agricultural machinery. It is expected that the manufacturing of the first full-featured prototype will be completed around the Spring Festival.

Tian Chuan asked Professor Zhao, Director Ding and Jiang Xiaoguang to work together to formulate a new agricultural machinery verification test project as soon as possible and ensure that the agricultural machinery passes the test before it is put on the market at the end of April.

In this regard, Professor Zhao has put a lot of effort into formulating detailed test standards such as the endurance test of the whole machine, the extreme working condition test, and the vibration impact test.

The sales team led by Jiang Jianbing did a lot of work before the new agricultural machinery went on the market, ran all over the cities in North China, and obtained a large number of market research data to provide reference standards for the design of new agricultural machinery. At the same time, a survey of similar products existing on the market was carried out to give direction to the design.

Thanks to Tagawa's efforts, several engineers were recruited and enriched into the design line. A retired grade 8 wood mold worker was also hired, which greatly improved the technical strength of the foundry workshop. At the same time, several advanced CNC machining equipment were purchased and professional operators were recruited. The production capacity of new agricultural machinery has been basically complete.

Jiang Xiaoguang has carried out a new layout design for the factory, adjusted the equipment layout, and is establishing a new dynamic agricultural machinery production line. At the same time, the operation standards of each process are standardized to provide guarantee for stable quality. He has already started the ISO9000 certification work and started the construction of the quality management system.

Jiang Xiaoguang also used his experience in the industry to bring some tooling and fixture processing business to Jicheng Company. Technicians are tackling key problems, and the first fixtures will be officially delivered in January 1995. Jiang Xiaoguang even considered building a special fixture production line to vigorously develop the fixture production business. Tagawa did not agree, he felt that jig production was a labor-intensive industry, which occupied a lot of resources and limited profits. At present, the technical personnel of the machinery company are relatively nervous, and it is okay to do it temporarily while the production is not full, and it cannot be operated as the main business.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the machinery company began to move on the right track.

The infrastructure construction of the network company was completed before New Year's Day, and Tagawa took three other shareholders to visit the company. Teng Yue has built up the technical department, recruited a total of 12 professional and technical personnel, and Zhao Juan will take over the follow-up recruitment work. More than half of the recruited technicians are college students or graduate students, and their experience is almost blank. Teng Yue separated the production of the web page from the writing of the source code of the program, and handed it over to the technical personnel to complete it separately.

It is expected that by the Spring Festival, all the programs of the forum can be completed and the online trial can begin. In addition, the structure of the encyclopedia has been completed, waiting for the programmers to get out of the forum programming and start writing code.

Tagawa's long-awaited online guarantee payment software had not yet been put into hands, and he needed a suitable cut-in wedge.

The company's decoration style tends to be modern and simple, each person has an independent office cubicle, and the software and hardware are complete, and the appearance of a modern high-tech company has been presented to the shareholders.

Tian Chuan has not been home for more than a month, and his father said on the phone that the ice fishing business of the fishing tackle supermarket has taken the lead, and the sales of ice fishing supplies are very hot, and more than 100 ice sleds have been sold, with profits as high as tens of thousands of yuan.

The chickens on the chicken farm have grown all their feathers and have entered the ranks of young chickens, and the outdoor activity time has been extended to 6 hours a day. Professor Lang screened out two feed formulas, one of which added more vegetables, appropriately reduced the amount of cereal feeding, and the vegetables added were mainly stored Chinese cabbage. The other is based on cereals and earthworms, with a small amount of vegetables added. At present, it seems that the chicks with more vegetables grow slightly slower than the other group, but their health is better than that of the other group, and the observation continues.

The green peppers and strawberries in the greenhouse have been planted or worked, and they have flowered, and it is expected that the harvest will begin in Zhongdian in January, and the yield will reach its peak before the Spring Festival.

These two crops are planted under the guidance of Mr. Zhong, and the growth is relatively stable, but the plants are obviously weaker than those planted by ordinary methods, and the yield will be much lower. In the planting process, there is no shortage of top dressing of cow manure and chicken manure, and the plant ash leaching solution is also applied, which is only used as a root application, without a more effective foliar spray.

One of the more annoying problems is that aphids are starting to grow on the leaves of green peppers. Mr. Zhong has provided several methods and is currently trying them out. On the one hand, the orange wood board is brushed with engine oil to make aphid trap board sticky, and on the other hand, try pepper water, tobacco leaf water and wind oil essence water to kill. Trials are ongoing, and the effects are not yet known.

The multi-layer compound planting/breeding of green peppers, strawberries and earthworms has basically been successful, and the combination of two layers of earthworms and one vegetable has achieved good results. As a result, three other earthworm sheds have also been farmed on the shelves, and lettuce, lettuce and cucumbers have been planted respectively, which will be available after the Spring Festival.

Tian Dad urged Tian Chuan to determine the sales method of green peppers and strawberries as soon as possible, and the fruits picked could not be stored for a long time.

The earthworm field has been steadily produced, and in addition to feeding the chickens, it can also make a batch of dried vermicompostes on a regular basis to supply the bait production of 598. It is estimated that after the spring warms up next year, the amount of chicken food will increase, and there will be no ability to supply to the outside world.

Tian Chuan suggested that his father should contract some more land near the chicken farm to expand earthworm farming, and at the same time increase vegetable planting, strive to gather more common vegetable varieties, and consider planting them in stages. In this way, it may be possible to support a vegetable specialty store to sell.

As for the current batch of green peppers and strawberries, Tagawa is going to do a trial picking, and in addition to the green peppers and strawberries, there is also a shed of lettuce and oily wheat vegetables to catch up with this sale.

Tagawa suggested that Dad find a way to wrap up a piece of land north of the Jonker depression. This piece of land belongs to the adjacent Lijiapu Village, there are about 30 acres, the terrain is low-lying, some saline-alkali, can only grow some sorghum or cotton and other salt-alkali tolerant crops, the harvest is limited.

Hanging up his father's phone, Tian Chuan immediately called Liu Meiting: "Sister Ting, how is the business of the tea house?"

"You little fellow, why did you remember to call me? I thought you forgot about your sister. ”

Tian Chuan said: "Isn't it that the strawberries, green peppers and lettuce that my father planted are coming down soon, and I called to send you some to try." ”

"Why don't you sell it and give it away in white?" Liu Meiting was curious.

"There are few varieties of things, and the output is also unstable, so there is no way to maintain the fixed consumption of fixed customers. I don't want to sell it as an ordinary product at a low price, so I might as well give it to you potential customers to taste it and get a familiar face. Tagawa told the truth, "At present, we only offer experience picking and free tasting. ”

"Picking produce? I really haven't experienced it. When can you go? Be sure to bring me one. ”

"Not yet, the strawberries are not ripe, and the green peppers and lettuce will have to go for a while. I'll let you know when the time comes. ”

After that, Tian Chuan called Li Tao and other three*, Professor Shi and Liu Tianyu and other friends in the calligraphy and painting circles, Liu Yinan and Lian Jingjing and other senior white-collar workers, Dean Song and Professor Lu and other senior intellectuals, these potential consumer groups of pollution-free agricultural products called to promote their experience picking activities, and strongly recommended that everyone bring their children to participate in it, giving them a chance to learn about agricultural products.

Private cars are still scarce, and it is unrealistic for everyone to go to the picking area on their own, so Tagawa is considering renting a bus to take customers there. Another option was to work with a travel agency, but it was quickly overturned by him: this was not conducive to the future development model.

Considering the ripening time of strawberries, which is the focus of the picking, Tagawa plans to schedule the first batch of picks for Sunday, January 18.

For this first harvest, Tagawa did a lot of preparation.

First of all, he made an appointment with two high-end buses, which can carry more than 100 people in total. The car is a travel company, and the most comfortable and clean Shenfei passenger is selected, and the crew is covered by insurance.

Secondly, he ordered disposable crisper boxes and matching paper bags for strawberries and leafy greens to hold the fruits and vegetables he picked.

Thirdly, he printed a colorful leaflet of the Green Picking Farm, which introduced the concept of pollution-free agricultural products, picking precautions, upcoming pickable projects, and the promotion concept of publicity.

In addition, he asked his father to build a temporary house with color steel on a vacant lot not far from the greenhouse, and built a floor, installed earth heating, and made a temporary restaurant. The restaurant invites the master of the mobile restaurant in the village to settle in and provide the "vegetarian eight bowls" and special stews with the characteristics of his hometown in picking. At the same time, we can also process the picked ingredients on behalf of customers.

Tian Chuan printed the lunch standard on the leaflet: fast food rice bowl 5 yuan a piece; The price of stews varies, from eight large bowls to 10 yuan per bowl, small rice and rice are free, and soup and porridge are also free.

In the end, he asked his father to pick a batch of strawberries, green peppers and lettuce oil and wheat vegetables on the 10th, and put each catty into a gift box, at least fifty copies and send them to the capital, and he wanted to give them away to taste.
