The main plane is Yanhuang Continent, Beichen Development Zone, Jinhai City, and the temporary office headquarters of Zhiyuan Company. Wang Fan returned to work here from the pharmaceutical factory.
"Wang Fan, I just heard you say that you want to transport the penicillin production line to the target plane, don't you?" Yadi asked after seeing Director Wang, who had sent Wang Fan back, leave.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Have you forgotten that penicillin is produced by fungi, and since penicillin itself is a chemical substance with no vital characteristics, it can be brought to the target plane by the ring. Fungi are life-specific. Once you enter the ring, it will be automatically inactivated, and there is only equipment over there, and there is no bacteria, how can you possibly produce penicillin in the target plane? ”
"You say this, I've got a solution. The first large-scale application of penicillin in history was in 1944, because World War II caused a large number of Allied troops, especially the Stars and Stripes Banner, to get tetanus and be infected and die, so the Stars and Stripes Republic government and military invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, mainly in the industrial production and development of penicillin. But Yadea, you should also know that the high-yielding penicillin superbacteria in later generations are produced by continuous generation and mutation, and it takes time to accumulate before they can be bred. However, the Stars and Stripes of World War II could not wait, and their scientists used the method of direct radiation mutagenesis to artificially create and screen the target bacteria, and finally made a major breakthrough at the end of 1943, increasing the unit yield by 200 times in one fell swoop, so that it was possible to transform penicillin from experimental results into products. ”
"So what? Do you want to use the same method as an atomic bomb to solve penicillin? ”
"No, no! Penicillin is not the same as the atomic bomb, although they are called the "three great inventions" of World War II, along with radar. But the atomic bomb is too great a threat to our Yanhuang, and we have no choice but to wipe it out, and penicillin is not used, didn't you say how to solve the problem of bacteria? I want to go to the Star-Spangled Banner to 'borrow'. With only a few strains of 'strains', I can reproduce and produce a large number of penicillin production lines that have been researched and perfected in later generations, although relying on the main plane and the low cost price of a single stick, I can afford to buy here and use there. But what if I'm limited by the plane's repulsion and can't go back? ”
"I see. However, I suggest that you 'borrow' the seeds, and you can also inactivate the rest of the Star-Spangled Banner, so that you can continue to dominate the penicillin market over there. ”
"En~~" After Wang Fan heard Yadi's suggestion, he thought for a while, and then said: "Forget it, penicillin is not like an atomic bomb, as long as there is a little, I don't know where the bacterial colony storage room is preserved, even if I am busy in vain." And even if they are really inactivated, the Stars and Stripes scientists who already know that the radiation method is feasible will continue to mutagenesize new strains, and I can't stay there 24 hours a day and go around for news and inactivation, right? The overall feeling is that the gains outweigh the losses. Alright, Yadi, don't talk about that, there are too many things at hand now, and I have to arrange them all in front of the target position next time! After Wang Fan finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head and signed various documents.
Speaking of the Yanhuang people, they have been industrious since ancient times, and they are diligent in their hands and feet, and with their tenacity and wisdom, they have turned barren places into happy places to live. However, the Yanhuang people, especially the Yanhuang peasants, who have paid the most for this, quickly become the "financial resources" and "cows" of the new regime and the new country when they should enjoy the fruits after the change of dynasty.
Since ancient times, the Yanhuang peasants have always been the object of serious exploitation, the feudal period, there was no highly developed industry as a tax source, only relying on a limited number of handicrafts and commercial groups, it is difficult to feed the redundant feudal state bureaucrats and aristocratic groups, so agricultural taxes and agricultural fees are the top priority that involves a country, the nerves of the ruling class. The ancient salt and iron tea triathlons are the most representative examples, especially the first one, the feudal ruling class relied on high taxes and high prices of official salt to rob most of the land harvest in the hands of the peasants.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in modern times, although science and technology have progressed, in order to quickly complete the country's industrialization and the primitive accumulation of social wealth under the conditions of a mess, the new government has no choice but to implement the economic policy of "scissors difference," that is, artificially lower the prices of agricultural products, raise the prices of industrial products, "exploit" agriculture, and feed back industry. Coupled with three years of natural disasters and ten years of the New Culture Movement, the peasants really haven't lived a comfortable life for a few years since 1949.
After the reform and opening up, the land policy was relaxed, and the peasants were finally freed from the only option of "digging food on the land," and a large number of township enterprises and successful peasant entrepreneurs really appeared. But these are in the minority, after all. The majority of peasants, especially those who are far away from the cities and have not enjoyed the benefits of the urban-rural interface and the urbanization process, still have to rely on the policy of agricultural tax reduction and exemption to make a living by digging a few acres of land contracted by themselves. It is only because of the progress of science and technology and the excellent seedlings that the grain, vegetable, and fruit crops have achieved a large-scale and large-scale increase in yields.
But the problem followed, the fruit is cheap and hurts the farmers, and the harvest is not abundant: "watermelon is rotten market", "red grapes are difficult to sell", "banana is rotten market", "longan is unsalable", "apples are unsalable", and similar words will always be found in the news headlines of the Internet and TV media every year. It is no exaggeration to say that even in modern society, the Yanhuang peasants have not fundamentally changed since ancient times.
The main plane of Yanhuang Continent, Guangxi, Yunnan, Hainan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces and cities, has always been a major fruit province in Yanhuang. Their pineapples, bananas, white peaches, yellow peaches, hawthorns, oranges, apples, kiwifruits, watermelons, papayas, and dragon fruits have always been the main force of fruit plating on the ordinary family table.
Xinhua Village, Jingning County, Gansu Province, in the western part of the Yanhuang Republic, is a large county for the cultivation of red Fuji apples, with an apple planting area of more than 800,000 mu in the county, and more than 95% of them are red Fuji varieties.
Today, villager Liang Ping'an got up early and came to the 6 acres of orchards he planted to check the condition of the trees. Most of the apples in the entire orchard were ripe, and the skin of the red puffy apples was extremely attractive, but Liang Ping'an, who saw all this, was full of sadness. Lao Liang, who has been serving the apple tree for more than ten years, knows very well that this is a sign that the apple is fully ripe, and if it is not picked, it will naturally fall to the ground and rot. But when he thought of the large number of red Fuji apples for sale piled up in the open space of other villagers on the way to the orchard, Lao Liang was really not happy.
"Lao Liang, have you come to see the garden again?" Huang Zeyuan, who was not far away, greeted loudly.
"Lao Huang, you got up early enough!"
"If you can't sell the apples in the field, who will be able to sleep?" Huang Zeyuan bared his teeth, walked into Liang Ping'an, handed over a cigarette and lit a fire, and nagged: "Fuck, I look at the market this year, and most of the apples were sold at this time last year." Not only did there be no traffickers this year, but the price was also very low, dropping from 9 yuan 5 yuan (per kilogram) last year to 4 yuan 5 yuan (per kilogram). ”
"But no, the neighboring village of Sanjialing, two merchants came to purchase yesterday, and as a result, the whole village, their own people lowered the price of each other, and I heard that in the end it was 3 yuan 8 transactions."
"What? 3 yuan 8, mom, I don't let people live, I don't even have enough capital! ”
"We are buried in the ground and rely on the sky to eat, and in the past few years, it has not been 'cats and dogs for a year'."
"tmd~~" Huang Zeyuan, who didn't scold him, continued to vent his dissatisfaction: "The village chief of the dog day, every day he says what to bring everyone to get rich, a few years have passed, and the result is not the same?" ”
"Ahem, his two brushes, the whole village knows it, don't you know it yet?" Liang Ping'an pinned his hopes on Lao Huang on the village cadres, and expressed his opinion: "If you want me to say, you have to find a way to attract one or two fruit deep processing enterprises to come in, otherwise you will never be able to change the current situation." ”
"Tsk, you said light, who will invest in us? Apples are harvested once a year, and workers work for three months and take nine months off. Da Bing (Huang Zeyuan's eldest son, who works in other places) came home last year and said to me that canned food is no longer popular in big cities, where fresh fruits are available in the market all year round. ”
"Gotta got, I can't say you, that's what Apple means anyway, I don't sell 3 pieces of 8, wait and see!"
Around the same time, more than 100,000 boxes of apples and pears in Hunchun City, Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province were unsold, and the price was as low as 2 yuan per kilogram; In Shimen County, Hunan Province, the first citrus county in Yanhuang Province, you can see small three-wheeled fruits everywhere on both sides of the road leading to the county seat, and fresh oranges roll off the car from time to time, and farmers are even too lazy to pick them up, and the price is as low as 0.8 yuan per kilogram.
At half past 12 noon, Liang Ping'an, who had a hasty lunch meal, was sitting on a stool in the courtyard in a daze, thinking about acquaintances, friends, and related households one after another in his head from time to time to see which one could help him get through the difficulties.
"Looking for Lao Liu, Lao Zhang? No, no, if you look for them, you have to make me pay for the favor fee and sponsorship fee alone. Liang Ping'an shook his head vigorously, and drove the unreliable idea he had just come up with out of his brain.
"Old man, old man!" While thinking about it, Liang Ping'an's wife Huang Yushan ran in from the outside in a hurry, "Hurry up, old man, the outside acquisition team is coming from the village, and it is packing at the entrance of the village!" ”
"What?"
"The big boss and big company outside have come to our village to collect apples, why don't you hurry up and transport the apples in our yard and the apples that have not been picked in the garden, otherwise they will be all over when they leave!"
"Cut, stinky girl, long hair and short knowledge, what's the hurry, didn't the neighboring village come yesterday? The result? The price is pressed to 3 yuan 8, and it is a loss at all! ”
"Compensation for you a big dog's head, the big brand of the family is marked, 10 yuan a kilogram in good condition, 7 yuan with bump scars, you should hurry up!"
"What? 10 pieces? 7 pieces? It's true!? Liang Ping'an was startled when he heard the unit price quoted by the old woman, and hurriedly ran out.
In an instant, he came to the entrance of the village and saw that there was a line of black people, each of whom was excitedly selling his red Fuji apples to the buyers. There are several trucks loaded at the entrance of the village, and the door of the cargo compartment is open, and it is empty, it seems that it is really going to make a big purchase in the village. Liang Ping'an, who observed all this, did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the old woman who had just come to hurry home to transport all the apples in the yard, and he himself ran to the orchard to pick the remaining red Fuji apples. Of course, what he didn't know was that similar large-scale acquisition scenes were staged one after another in various villages within and around Jingning County.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters above Xinhua Village, in the stealth aircraft, Wang Fan is here to observe the acquisition activities below.
"It's not bad, the speed and quality of the development of the Self-improvement Mutual Fund are better than I thought!" Wang Fan saw the tone, expression and quality of the purchasing staff below, and nodded with satisfaction. Since Zhao Yong's accident a few months ago, Wang Fan deeply understood the reality of poverty in the central and western regions, Wang Fan immediately set up a "self-improvement mutual aid fund" and let veterans Liu Fengyun, Shi Jinshan, Zhang Huisong and others manage it.
After more than five months of development, several people did not disappoint Wang Fan. They first recruited about 500 retired veterans or comrades-in-arms from their respective units and comrades-in-arms, and established a fund network that initially covered the northwest, southwest, and northeast regions, which was relatively rough but the overall context had already been formed, and then on this basis, they expanded the recruitment of about 2,000 retired soldiers from other military regions.
Perhaps the upper echelons of the Yanhuang army were full of problems and smuggling was commonplace. However, most of the ordinary soldiers at the most basic level are worthy of the title of "the loveliest people", they are very pure in their thoughts and sincere in their feelings. In addition, the salary and benefits given by Wang Fan are in place, so that every new member can devote himself to the company's charity and public welfare without burden.
When Wang Fan established a food processing base in Beichen District, Jinhai City, in addition to 33 core production factories that produce all kinds of food, he also planned to build 12 large frozen warehouses around these factories to store all kinds of raw materials. In addition, in the past few months, 17 large-scale and medium-sized refrigerated warehouses have been built in the northwest, southwest and northeast, so that Wang Fan has the ability to "regulate" some provinces, cities and regions, and unsalable fruits and vegetables.
"You're proud to be able to realize the plan smoothly according to the plan!" Yadi looked at Wang Fan with a smile on his face and teased.
"Hehe, yes, after several months of hard work, I finally saw the phased results, and I can partially implement the 'Farmers' Income Guarantee and Income Increase Plan'." Wang Fanle replied: "In fact, to be honest, the unsalable domestic fruits in Yanhuang are not a national overproduction, but a poor connection between production and marketing. For example, the apples grown in Jingning and Qin'an counties in Gansu Province are more famous, but they are not well-known in the whole country, so there are relatively few buyers. When many merchants mention apples, they often think of Yantai in Shandong and Luochuan in Shaanxi. ”
"But the farmers of Jingning and Qin'an still plant according to the habits of previous years, once the harvest is bumper, the buyers remain unchanged or decrease, the price will fall and the unsalable is certain. Secondly, the logistics cost is too high, too many intermediate links have also caused the fruit to be 'difficult to sell and expensive', such as the apple pear in Hunchun City, Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province, although the price fell to 2 yuan, but like the traders in Changchun City, 570 kilometers away Hunchun City to load the goods, just back and forth oil money and road expenses will be 1500 yuan, evenly spread to the apple pear, only the price of 6 yuan per kilogram to make money. ”
"I understand what you mean, bridge tolls, various taxes, wholesale fees, retail fees, booth fees, and management fees are the culprits." Yadi answered.
"Well, but I can't change these for the time being, so I can only solve the problem of unsalable goods first to ensure that farmers do not lose money and have basic profits. Anyway, when selling arms, the People's Bank of Yanhuang has a large amount of precipitated funds on its account, and it can't spend it, so taking out a part of it to subsidize agriculture can be regarded as compensating for the 'scissors difference' policy for many years. In fact, we are equivalent to the market 'reservoir', there are too many fruits and vegetables on the market, we buy and store, the number on the market is too small, the price is extremely high, and we sell the goods. I have a plane ring, and the cost of transporting fruits to the Jinhai food processing base is zero, plus the first target plane is at war for days, and the second target plane is lacking in everything, for the inventory of fruits and vegetables that have been shelved for a long time and have not been digested, as long as they are canned, they will never be able to sell. ”
