Chapter 821: The Confusion of the Big Planters
The plant factory of the Southeast Military Department in Qinghe City, as the first institution to start researching the secret realm, has been researching many special ways of using plants for nearly a year.
The products of these plants, after practice, began to be widely used in various fields.
The most popular carpet grass has formed a complete process from planting, harvesting to processing.
Initially, the military only planted carpet grass in its own playground and at high-traffic intersections.
However, with a large-scale military exercise this year, carpet grass protective clothing shines in the combat field, and their small-scale planting method cannot supply the raw material needs of carpet grass protective clothing.
Later, the Southeast Military Department simply set up a separate department for the cultivation and management of carpet grass, and operated the carpet grass business as a commercial development.
The original use of carpet grass is a very good ground plant that can be planted both indoors and outdoors, and is widely used in public areas such as schools, football fields, and athletic fields.
At the beginning of Lin Zeng's operation, he received a large number of business orders. There are not only public units such as schools, but also many family customers.
Later, Xenodu Greening Company focused on the development of family planting, and Lin Zeng signed a transaction contract with the military to give up the large-scale development of carpet grass business, carpet grass urban planting, because the number of crystal source bodies in the southeast military department was some, and it stagnated for a period of time.
Today, carpet grass companies with military backgrounds promote carpet grass planting much faster than Lin Zeng used to do in the past.
In the past two months, a large number of carpets and lawns have appeared in major cities in China.
Schools are a key area for the popularization of carpet grass cultivation.
The playground, where children run around every day, can give a lot of trampling on carpet grass, and promote the carpet grass leaves to turn from green to red, and even to purple.
At the same time, the carpet grass with excellent cushioning property brings better safety protection to school students.
Take the first center of Qinghe City, which was the first to plant carpet grass, as an example. In previous years, children were naughty, pushing, pushing and shoving, and there were several incidents of children fighting and causing injuries every year.
There are also children who are accidentally pushed down from a height by naughty classmates, causing fractures, causing disputes, and even being taken to court by their parents.
After planting carpet grass for more than a year, it is natural to fall down, but the soft blades of carpet grass avoid the phenomenon of children bumping in the process of falling.
The planting and promotion of carpet grass has greatly encroached on the market share of plastic runways and artificial artificial grass.
Natural turf that is easy to manage, looks good, and does not release pollutants has become the first choice for many customers.
Just as the old mobile phones with very few functions have been eliminated by today's smart phones, there are some companies engaged in the operation of plastic runways and plastic fake grass, in the face of gradually decreasing orders, have heard the wind and begun to withdraw from this field.
There is no one field that is always solid.
Perhaps many years later, carpet grass planting, which flourished at this time, will also be replaced by some new material, or a lack of ground plants.
This strong sense of crisis has made Chen Jiajia, a major vegetable grower in Guangdong Province, feel extremely uneasy.
Guangdong Province has warm seasons and can grow vegetables and fruits all year round. In the north of Quang Cane province, tropical fruits like mangosteen, jackfruit, durian, mango are expensive, but in the farmers of Canton province, you can see growing them everywhere.
Canton province has a developed economy, and most people only know that it has a developed manufacturing industry, but as long as you know a little, you will know that Canton Guangdong Province, which is located in the East Asian monsoon belt, has natural and good planting conditions.
The average annual temperature is above 20 degrees, the rain is abundant in all seasons, and the sunshine is sufficient, so the grass and trees in the province are prosperous and the vegetation is abundant.
In Guangdong Province, it is almost impossible to see peasant households who really rely on cultivating their own one-third of an acre of land to support their families.
Either go to work in a factory, or contract a field to develop a large-scale planting industry.
After graduating from university that year, Chen Jiajia did not choose the seemingly prosperous manufacturing field to start a business, but returned to his hometown, Mingguang Township, Guangdong Province, to contract land and develop scientific planting.
He currently owns more than 400 acres of tomato planting fields, and most of his main customers are from southern China.
Relying on tomato planting, Chen Jiajia still steadily developed his hundreds of acres of planting base when the economy was in recession and the manufacturing industry was in crisis a few years ago.
This year's tomatoes are growing very well and the sales price is also very good, and he originally planned to continue to expand the planting base and introduce new varieties of fruit tomatoes to bring the business of the planting base to a new level.
But a few months ago, Chen Jiajia posted a message from his college classmate's circle of friends that made him suspend this decision.
That college classmate Chang Xinyi, who was admitted to the school after graduation, is currently working as a biology teacher in a middle school.
The year before last, Chen Jiajia also attended his wedding, and I heard that he just gave birth to a little cute girl last year.
When Chen Jiajia was bored, he looked through the dynamics of the circle of friends and suddenly saw a news from Chang Xinyi.
"I planted a tomato in my living room, and I like it so much that I count tomatoes in the corner every day. ”
Under the text, there are nine more photos, in addition to the chick of the same school selling cuteness, the background is a lush tomato leaf, climbing vines on the wall of Chang Xinyi's living room, there are yellow flowers, there are red fruits.
As a grower who deals with tomatoes all day long, Chen Jiajia immediately paid attention, he studied the nine photos several times, and then dialed the phone number of his old classmate.
From Chang Xinyi's mouth, he learned about the purchase channels, growth methods, number of fruits, and maintenance difficulties of this kind of tomatoes that can be grown indoors. It also landed on the web platform of the company that sells the tomato seeds.
Not only tomatoes, but also a variety of fruits and vegetables that are suitable for home growing.
The price of seedlings is not expensive, it is easy to maintain and take care of, the yield is high, there is no need to spray pesticides, no need to add chemical fertilizers, and many growers spontaneously spend high prices for testing, and it is found that there is no problem with the genes.
In China's current environment of serious trust in market food, it is no wonder that people who are nervous about market food can donate money to buy it, and it can also make these urban people living in reinforced concrete walls satisfy their little contact with planting feelings.
Chen Jiajia sighed, looking at his thriving tomato field, his heart was full of mixed feelings, but it was not a taste.
If every household in an urban family grows this kind of indoor vegetables and fruits, is there still a need for them to be professional growers?
It's not just the rise of this home-grown model that has brought him a serious sense of crisis, and in the past two months, two old customers in Qinghe City, Haixi Province, have cancelled orders for follow-up tomatoes, although Chen Jiajia quickly found an alternative sales channel, but it gave him an extremely bad feeling.
Chen Jiajia squatted on the edge of the ridge, thought for a long time, and finally decided to give up the next season's tomato planting.
However, what can he plant on these hundreds of acres of fertile land?
Chen Jiajia was confused.
