Chapter 598: Low-profit industry
"Okay, let's go. Secretary Wen, Governor Tan, do you go over for a walk? ”
Secretary Wen smiled and said, "You passed, of course we passed." ”
When I walked to the vineyard, I saw Xiaoya chatting with two people. The two women looked like Han Chinese, the man had a high nose and deep eyes, yellow hair and yellow beard, and should be of Western race. "Wuyang, this is Xiao Dai and Agen, this vineyard is theirs."
Xiao Dai and Ah Jean stretched out their hands to shake Wuyang and the others, smiled and gave up their seats, and began to chat. Wuyang said: "Xiao Dai, these grapes are all grown by yourself?" ”
"We only do technical guidance, and the specific work is done by asking people to do it."
"How did you come up with the idea of growing grapes here?"
"My father started growing grapes here, and he has been doing it here for more than 20 years," says Dai. I went to France to study winemaking, and I studied at Mecodo for 8 years before returning home. ”
Zhang Lichen smiled: "Dig up a winemaking expert and come back?" ”
Agen said, "I have to come with me." Xiao Dai is so beautiful, I can't let it go when I see it. The winemaking expert didn't dare to be, so he just learned some fur from his grandfather and father. ”
Wuyang asked, "How many years have you been in China?" ”
"I've been here for 6 years and I've been brewing 5 times. I owe a debt of gratitude to my wife, if I hadn't come to China, I wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to make sake until now. Gentlemen, I have prepared some wine for you to taste. ”
Agen took out the red wine in a large glass, and Xiao Dai came out with a goblet in a tea tray, and then poured wine for everyone to use.
Wuyang likes to drink though. But I don't know anything about the taste of alcohol. I tasted it in disguise. I don't dare to comment, and I guess other people are similar to him. Fortunately, Zhang Lichen has been a visiting scholar in France for two years, and he still knows a little about French wines, so he took a sip and smiled and said: "Well, the taste is very authentic, it is the flavor of Mecodo." ”
"Sir," said Agen, "it seems that you are familiar with the smell of Mercodo and that you perceive the difference?" ”
Zhang Lichen said: "The difference is in sweetness. It's sweeter than the Meco. ”
Agen laughed, "Then you are a real wine tasting expert." Because there is more sunshine here than in Meco, there is less rainfall, and the grapes are high in sugar, and although distilled, they are still slightly sweeter. ”
Zhang Lichen asked: "Is this wine easy to sell in China?" ”
"The first two years were sold, but at that time there were few grapes, the yield was low, and there was no profit. In recent years, the vineyard has been expanded, the cellars have been expanded, and oak barrels have been added. Building factories and so on, they are still operating in debt. ”
Zhao Liang asked, "Boss Dai." You sell this wine in French packaging, right? ”
Xiao Dai smiled: "How do you know? In fact, it is sold under the registered trademark of Agen's family. Their wine, as early as the beginning of the last century, was sold to China, and it had a certain influence, of course, its influence was far less than that of Lafite and Bordeaux, the price was 750 ml 6 euros offshore, and the wholesale price in China was 320 yuan. If we create our own brand, it will cost 5 or 60 yuan per bottle at most, and if we use their brand, the profit will naturally be much higher. However, the quality and taste of our wine can be absolutely guaranteed. Now the wine made for the third time is still stored in oak barrels, and we will not bottle it for a day. ”
Zhao Liang said: "Boss Dai, how big is your vineyard now?" ”
"It's about 30,000 acres."
"There is still so much wasteland around, how much more are you going to expand?"
"Our family has only 300 hectares of vineyards in the Mecodo, which has been around for almost 200 years, and we already have 2,000 hectares here, so it's good to be able to manage them, so we decided not to expand them," says Agen. ”
Zhao Liang said: "To be honest, I am also engaged in industry, and I also want to grow grapes here. If you want to expand, I will leave the land to you, and if you really don't want to expand, I will buy it all. ”
"Thank you, sir," said Agen, "for your honesty, we are enough. ”
Xiao Dai said: "Boss, according to my personal opinion, it is to expand the vineyard a little, and it can have 50,000 acres, which is considered to be beginning to take shape." ”
Zhao Liang said: "Okay, where you want, we will stay." ”
Xiao Dai said: "But we are short of funds, and the funds recovered from the wine that can be sold in the wine cellar are only enough to repay the loan." It takes a lot of money to buy land, level the land, and plant grape seedlings. ”
Wuyang asked: "Boss Dai, how much money is needed per mu?" ”
Xiao Dai said: "Buy land 10 yuan, level ridge 200 yuan, fertilizer artificial fertilizer at least 200 yuan, we have their own grape seedlings do not need to spend money, if you want to buy grape seedlings, per mu can not be less than 500 yuan, plus artificial planting, we 500 yuan per mu, Zhao boss needs 1000 yuan." ”
Wuyang said: "Zhao Dong, you are like this, please ask Boss Dai to provide you with grape seedlings, and you lend her the funds to expand the vineyard, so that the two families are not alive?" ”
Zhao Liang said: "Of course this is good, but I don't know if Boss Dai is willing or not." ”
Xiao Dai smiled and said: "Such a good thing is like pie falling from the sky, how can I not want it?" We provide grape seedlings and give technical help, but the grape seedlings are not available this year, and we must plan this year and supply them next year. ”
"I don't know how much land can be used to grow grapes here, and the plan can't be done yet," Zhao said. ”
Xiao Dai said: "The place here is too big, hundreds of kilometers to the west, 80 kilometers to the south to the mountain, and more than 100 kilometers to the east of the no-man's land, the terrain is flat, if you want, just tell the county government." ”
"To the east there is a racecourse, a track is 50 kilometres, and you have to leave it to the king of horses," Agen said. ”
Governor Tan said: "I know the king of horses, I have also participated in horse racing, and leaving the track is not contradictory to planting grapes. It would be fine to plant grapes everywhere else and leave a 300-metre wide track in the flattest place, but it doesn't matter how long it is, 10 km, 20 km, he can't say anything. ”
Wuyang said: "Doesn't the farm also need roads, and the track is tamped, which can be both a track and a road." It can also be a runway. Large transport aircraft can be taken off and landed. In the future, it will be good to transport any goods or develop tourism. ”
Zhang Lichen asked: "Secretary Wen, Governor Tan, what is the price of your land here?" Do we have the financial resources to buy it? ”
Secretary Wen said: "What Boss Dai said just now, the price is 10 yuan per mu, even if you buy a few million mu, it is only tens of millions, which is just a drop in the bucket for you Zhang Dong." ”
Zhang Lichen smiled and said, "Secretary Wen." You just heard Boss Dai's words, although the funds to buy land are not much, you can level the land, add fertilizer, plant grape seedlings, it takes 1,000 yuan per mu, and you also have to build roads, build wineries, wine cellars, etc., and you can't get it without billions. Of course, we are not short of funds, but investment always has to talk about returns, and strive to maximize benefits. ”
Secretary Wen said with a smile: "Dong Zhang, you businessmen are like this, and you will never let go of a little bit of the benefits that you can fight. Before we come. The state party committee and the state government have held a meeting to study your medicinal materials, fruits, and breeding projects. We will implement the state's preferential tax policies for agriculture and animal husbandry, and give preferential tax policies to high-tech industries for industrial projects as long as they can be linked to the state's high-tech industries. For the planting of grapes, we ignore the harvest before the grape enters the harvest period, and after the harvest period, we will exempt us from VAT and consumption tax for 3 years, and then halve the levy for 5 years, so can we mobilize enthusiasm? ”
Zhang Lichen said: "It's okay, Secretary Wen, Governor Tan, that's right, we all want the land that can grow grapes or other cash crops." ”
Zhao Liang said: "Dong Zhang, the contracts I signed in other states are tax-free, which is more preferential than here." ”
Governor Tan asked, "Dong Zhao, what project did you sign with them?" ”
Zhao Liang said: "There are apples, pears, apricots, grapes, and walnuts. ”
Governor Tan said: "The grapes you grow are mainly for the sale of fresh grapes and dried raisins, right? If so, it is also tax-exempt in our state. ”
Zhao Liang said: "Apples and pears are sold fresh fruits, apricots and grapes are sold both fresh fruits, dried apricots and raisins, and walnuts are sold dried walnuts and processed walnut kernels. ”
Wuyang asked: "Zhao Dong, is the economic benefit of planting walnuts okay?" ”
Zhao Liang said: "Secretary Li, we have gone through a strict investigation. Generally, it takes 4 years to plant walnuts to have economic benefits, the first year of planting, the second year of grafting, the third year of growth, and the fourth year of walnut bearing. When the fruit tree grows a little bigger, you can earn 7 or 8,000 yuan per mu just by selling dried walnuts, and if you process it into walnut kernels and sell it, the added value will be higher. We plan to plant 300,000 acres of walnut forests in various places, and we expect to have an annual income of 2 billion yuan in the future. ”
Zhang Lichen said: "Zhao Liang, why don't you tell me about this? We have also planted 2 to 300,000 acres in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, how can we sell them in the future? ”
Zhao Liang said with a smile: "Boss, you can rest assured, now the people of the whole country know that walnuts supplement the brain, teenagers can develop intelligence, middle-aged and elderly people can prevent Alzheimer's disease, and there is no need to worry about sales at all." In the future, we can really not walk, we can produce walnut drink, walnut in milk, can also produce walnut powder and other ingredients, anyway, people's living standards are improving day by day, for these natural, beneficial to human health things, the demand will be more and more large, we don't have to worry about sales. ”
Wuyang smiled: "Don't you always look at China, what can't you sell in such a big foreign market?" ”
Zhang Lichen said: "Dong Zhao, since you have done this, you must do it well." Our domestic market is a huge market, and Secretary Li also said that we can also develop the international market. How much land needs to be purchased here, how much money is needed, you give me a plan, and I can allocate funds to you. ”
Zhao Liang said: "I still have some funds you gave last time, but so many planting plans have been added, you can add 50 billion to me first, and I will arrange for people to sign contracts with various states, and the agricultural time cannot be delayed." ”
Zhang Lichen said: "I will give you as much as you need, and I promise not to delay your business." The funds to buy grape seedlings from Boss Dai will also be implemented. ”
Zhao Liang said: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to sign the contract." ”
Wuyang said, "It's okay, right? Here we go. ”
Xiaoya said, "Wuyang, aren't you going to see King Ma?" ”
"It's working time, so let's not go."
Xiaoya smiled: "After this village, there will be no such shop, don't regret it when the time comes." ”
"Okay. In order not to leave regrets. Let's take a trip. ”
Governor Tan said, "I know that place. Let's go together. ”
Wuyang said: "You go to work, just leave the trolley for me." ”
Xiao Dai said: "I'll call Ma Wang's house and ask him to send someone to wait on the side of the road, and you can just go over and meet." ”
Secretary Wen said: "Secretary Li, we have prepared food and lodging at the county government in front and are waiting for you there. ”
Wuyang said: "Today we have made a start, and the next work is to do this." I'm here, and you're in my way. It's not good to give more preferential policies, I don't have you to make decisions freely. You don't have to wait for me, I'll look for you when I have time. ”
Hearing Wuyang say this, Secretary Wen and Governor Tan both laughed. The matter of their state, today it has been decided to increase the land for grape planting, plus the investment projects that have been determined before, it is already very satisfying, without the leader of Wuyang, to be able to bargain with Zhang Lichen. Maybe it's a little more comfortable.
Zhang Lichen's car was the best, and he took the initiative to leave the car and the driver. Go and get into Zhao Liang's car by yourself. Wuyang said: "Lichen, you come with me, leave everything to Zhao Liang to do, he can already take charge on his own." ”
Zhang Lichen walked back, and Zhao Liang glanced at Wuyang and grinned. Wuyang knew that what he said just now would be more effective than any amount of bonuses, and Zhao Liang would not be a doctor in the future, but a cadre. It is important to grow, encourage and use talents with confidence.
The vehicles followed the convoy, the provincial road was very bumpy, and outside the window there were sometimes majestic mountains, sometimes vast fields, the terrain was getting lower and lower, and the vegetation was already increasing. Xiaoya sat in the passenger seat, Wuyang and Zhang Lichen sat in the back row, and the two of them chatted about Haiqing's customs and the company's development in the northwest.
Zhang Lichen said: "Boss, we are ready to invest so much money, and there is definitely no problem in recovering it, but I think that such an investment is a matter of merit in the present and benefits in the future." ”
Wuyang smiled: "Lichen, it seems that you still have your own opinions on these projects, tell me, what do you think in your heart?" ”
"Boss, we repair water conservancy and plant barley, wheat, and cotton, all of which are low-profit businesses; Planting pasture to raise cattle and sheep, as well as planting fruits, looks good now, but with the expansion of production scale, the increase of dairy products, meat and fruits, the price will inevitably fall, and it will also become a low-profit industry. With the rise of these industries, the incomes of farmers and herdsmen have increased, and the country's commodity production has increased. The so-called benefits are in the future, the water conservancy has been repaired, the cultivated land is fertile, the fruit trees have grown, the ecological environment has also improved, and future generations can enjoy these fruits. ”
"Do you think that's good?"
Zhang Lichen smiled and said: "Of course, this is the instructions of the big boss, you only have to do it, and you have to do it whether it is good or not." As I carry out these tasks, I have gradually formed my own ideas, and I would like to take this opportunity to report to you. ”
Wuyang said: "Okay, as long as it is conducive to the development of the company, I will definitely support it, ask for money to give money, and ask people to give people." ”
"Of course I'll have to pay for it, otherwise I won't be able to do it. Boss, I think like this: the first point, to be more active in the development of medicinal herb planting, there are many medicinal materials in the northwest that are not available in other places, you know wolfberry, licorice, etc., in the summer, sweet area, produce a national class of protected plants called peach seven, is a particularly good anti-cancer drug, at present, scientists have used embryo germination technology to cultivate seedlings successfully, began to cultivate seedlings in the field. After I knew, I went to the institute to find them, and gave them some scientific research funds and bonuses, and now this institute has tried its best to cultivate seedlings of peach seven and several other medicinal materials, and in a few years, our pharmaceutical factory will have sufficient raw materials, and we will be in a leading position in the country. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "Lichen, you did the right thing, go on." ”
"The second point is to develop fruits. Needless to say, the production of pine nuts is needless to say, and I am also ready to plant jujube trees, whether they are large or small, they must be planted more, as well as apricots, walnuts, and chestnuts. Now that the standard of living has improved, sitting in front of the TV at night, peeling a few fruits and eating them when I have nothing to do, which not only adjusts my life, but also supplements my nutrition; The third point is to develop vegetable greenhouses. There is no shortage of meat in the Northwest, and there is basically no vegetables, which is a good money-making business and can also prepare for the company's next development. ”
Wuyang asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
Zhang Lichen said: "Boss, in two or three years, I will fully shop the mining industry. The Northwest is rich in mineral deposits, and only a small part of it is currently mined. Our other investments have been largely formed, laying the groundwork for the mining industry and freeing up their hands for mining. In fact, it is the mining industry that really makes money. Boss, am I right? ”
Wuyang smiled: "Lichen, you are a very shrewd person, you just let go of your hands and feet." I could have helped with the exploration of mineral deposits, but this time I definitely won't be able to do it, so I will find an opportunity to come quietly in the future. By the way, a few of my junior sisters are playing in Ningxi, you can ask them to come over and help. ”
"Thank you boss. I'm going to start working on it right away, the mineral deposits are the state's, the country's policy, anyone can buy and mine, and just pay taxes. If we don't explore, and others do it, we become spectators. Therefore, it is bound to be explored and mined immediately, otherwise the daylily will be cold. ”
"Okay, we'll take the time to find the veins this time, and if we can find them, you can organize the mining, at least buy the land first. Lichen, you have a lot of things, the jade mine over there in Lalmu will be mined soon, you have to organize a lot of people to come, you need a lot of vegetables, you hurry up to build a vegetable greenhouse, so as not to be unable to supply the vegetable base in the south. ”
Zhang Lichen said with a smile: "It seems that at the beginning, I could only buy vegetables to eat, and I couldn't win by building a greenhouse." Boss, Governor Tan has come down, it should be King Ma waiting for us. ”
The other cars did not stop, only Governor Tan and Zhang Lichen's car stopped, several people got out of the car, Governor Tan introduced Wuyang, and introduced: "This is the old man Mahmuti, who is the champion of many horse races in our province, although he is now old and does not participate in horse racing, but the horses he bred have been winning championships in the province, northwest and national races, and are respected as 'horse kings'." ”
Ma Hemuti held Wuyang's hand and said, "Secretary Li, I heard that you know horses very well?" ”
Wuyang said: "I can't talk about knowing horses, I'm very interested in horses." ”
"Okay, if you're interested in horses, we'll have something to say. Please get in the car and we'll talk as we go. Mahmuti made a gesture of please.
Wuyang got into the old man's car, "King Ma has a high birthday this year?" ”
"I'm 70 years old."
"You're a Uyghur, aren't you?"
"Yes. My father participated in the uprising with the troops during the liberation of Dihua, and the troops drove to Haiqing, and my mother brought us with us. Later, my father took a fancy to the pasture here, and our family settled here without going back to Dihua. ”
Wuyang asked, "Are you still used to living here?" ”
The old man smiled: "I'm only a teenager when I came here, do you think I'm used to it?" ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "It looks pretty good." Are there many of you here? Is it easy to find a partner? ”
Mahmuti said: "There was a group of people in my father's generation who had transferred to these prefectures, and all walks of life scattered in various counties had married and started families, and they had always had contacts, and many of their descendants got married and started families. Of course, there are also those who intermarry with other ethnic groups, that is, there are no men and women left. ”
"Do you know that there are men and women left? King of Horses, the rider in your family, is it from your own family or someone else? ”
Ma Hemuti said with a smile: "Secretary Li, you should first ask me what horses I have at home." People who love horses can't do without horses in their mouths. Since you're wrong, let me sell you. (To be continued......)
