Chapter 456: Frost Damage Replanting, Director Xu's New Business
The Dream Glass T-shaped business jet, exuding colorful RGB lights, is like marbles in the Wajima gaming machine, taking off from X City, first fast and then slow, and finally landing lightly in a deserted wheat field in the southwest corner of Dongshan.
A moment later.
Xu Fei, who was simple and easy-looking, walked out of the cabin in casual clothes and looked around at the endless wheat field.
If we refer to previous years, in April, the wheat in the field has almost begun to produce ears.
However, this year's cold cyclone in the northern hemisphere has caused a once-in-a-century frost damage to crops, which has greatly reduced the survival rate of wheat seedlings, and this year's wheat production will also be reduced by one-third.
And this third is the average, and in some areas with severe snowfall, there is a possibility that there will be no harvest.
Fortunately, the scope of influence of the Daze Industrial Complex has covered the entire North China Plain, and the vast majority of farmers have a job.
or run logistics, or do housekeeping, or work as sanitation, or engage in construction, or make screws, or sort out packaging, or pick vegetables and fruits......
Even because of Xu Fei's advocacy of multiple births, as well as the IVF in the public hospital, some educated rural aunts, after participating in night school training, were successfully promoted to confinement nannies, nannies, and self-employed infant products, and entered the high-income group.
In short, this is an era of super-rapid development, there are opportunities everywhere, as long as you are willing to learn, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely get something from your hard work.
After the farmers left their hometowns, the farmland was subleased to local supply and marketing cooperatives.
The latter then integrates agricultural land, distinguishes between basic fields and experimental fields, and grows crops in batches according to the requirements of the investor, Daze Agricultural Company.
Therefore, the losses caused by the frost damage will be borne by the Supply and Marketing Cooperatives and Daze Agricultural Company, and have nothing to do with the farmers.
"What is the official remedy?" Xu Fei took the four secretaries and walked in the wheat field by stepping on the crispy snow after the hardening.
The fourth secretary took out the folder and found a document, "The board of directors means to subsidize 45 billion red banknotes to Daze Agricultural Company, and propose to selectively clear seedlings and plant spring cotton instead." ”
"With the equipment provided by Daze Agricultural Machinery, it is true that replanting can be completed in a short time, but when the four major grain merchants enter the East, they will definitely guess that we are 'replanting cotton', and then make targeted deployments...... In business, you can't follow the rhythm of your opponents. ”
"What do you mean?"
"The most profitable business in the world is the scorpion poop poison, that is, the business that no one has ever done, or very few people do, maybe we can find a unique way and grow some unpopular crops."
"Factory director, this is the North China Plain with 320 million acres of arable land, you suddenly change crops, and plant so much, in case there is no use, we will lose a lot, besides, so much arable land has affected the food security problem in the East, and it is impossible for the superiors to allow you to change crops at will."
"There are 1.55 billion mu of arable land in Mexico, and about 3.18 billion mu of arable land in West Africa, and these 320 million mu are really nothing in front of these two projects.
"You've had this idea for a long time?"
"No, it was a project that my eldest cousin and the former governor of South Africa planned to invest in, but the citizen hospital developed a new sugarcane variety that can produce more sugar, so they abandoned the project."
Xu Fei said, motioned to the engineer of the crew to bring a military shovel, and then found a ditch and asked the other party to dig it from the bottom.
After a moment's wait, there were more rotten grass and black mud on the ground.
Xu Fei took the military shovel, pulled it away, and pointed to a finger-thick stick, "Do you know what this is?" ”
The fourth secretary shook his head, "I have never been to the countryside, nor have I farmed. ”
"Then you will definitely not be able to represent the people at the bottom in the future."
“……”
"This is hemp stalk, as the saying goes, it is like hemp stalk, which refers to it." Xu Fei took out the power bank and searched for 'marijuana', but he never thought about it, but what jumped out was 'white noodles'.
He was just about to dial the number and scold the CEO of Whoosh Fox, but suddenly remembered that in addition to planting large-smoked pineapples in the Afghanistan area, the rest was to grow 'marijuana'.
Of course, the hemp over there is a low variety, and the hemp grown in the East is a tall fiber variety, and the two sides are completely different things.
Otherwise, with the cleverness of the Orientals, if they found that hemp rods could be smoked, then what would they do with hemp seed oil, let alone wait until opium entered the customs in 1820 to learn to smoke.
Xu Fei turned off the power bank and motioned to the fourth secretary, "The hemp in the coarse linen clothes is made of the hemp rod skin, and the approximate process is to wait for the hemp to grow to two or three meters high, cut it and bundle it, and then throw it into the river to soak it to avoid being dried by the sun, resulting in a tight skin."
After soaking overnight, you can take it up and peel it off, and you can get the outer skin off, and the wooden core left behind can be used to burn the pot, and the outer skin can be taken to dry, and then used a 'brush made of iron nails' to comb it into hair, so that there is the raw material of hemp rope. ”
The fourth secretary suddenly said, "You plan to sell hemp rope?" ”
"I'm an engineer who takes the black technology route, would do such a superficial deal?" Xu Fei rolled his eyes and said seriously: "Four, what our company relies on for survival is materials. ”
"Aren't you selling dogs?"
“……”
"Director, you heard it wrong, I mean, selling mechanical and electronic pet dogs."
"To be honest, if it is operated properly, the market prospect of hemp straw is not inferior to that of pet dogs."
"I want to hear about it."
"The fabrics on the market at present include polyester, chemical fiber, cotton, linen, blended and so on. Among them, flax is made of flax fiber, which has good elasticity, wear resistance, heat resistance and corrosion resistance, can absorb 20 times its own water, and has a very excellent shaping ability, mainly used to make clothes, furniture covers and car interiors, but the texture of linen is relatively hard, and it is not as comfortable to wear as pure cotton.
If we improve it to make it more comfortable than pure cotton, in addition to its original use, it can also be used to make medical cotton, band-aids, and dehumidification products, do you think it will be popular? ”
The fourth secretary was slightly stunned, "Band-aid?" With its adsorption capacity, if it is more comfortable to make than pure cotton, it will indeed be hot, at least I will buy it. ”
Xu Fei didn't hear that the fourth secretary's understanding was a little biased, "Since you approve of it, then this replanting project, including the improvement of hemp materials, and the follow-up production, will be fully entrusted to you." ”
When the fourth secretary heard this, he was overjoyed and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, the factory director, I will definitely not let you down." ”
If it is said that the cronyism with adults is a good interpretation of what it means to be 'a person who has won the Tao and a chicken dog ascends to heaven', then the secretary group has a good interpretation of what it means to be 'near the water and get the moon first'.
In the past three years, with the acquiescence of Director Xu, the secretary team has almost stuffed the whole family into the 'angel investment project', so that parents and brothers, seven aunts and eight aunts have all become bosses.
But the fourth secretary is from the official and belongs to the 'spies', and it is not easy to speak up or participate in these matters.
Now with the nod of the factory director, it means that the 'Band-Aid-Sanitary Napkin Project' can be arranged for people from the Sun family to come in and make money in the future.
Of course, this is the family property of the adult, and the Sun family just earns the money they should earn, otherwise they will move the money bag of the adult, and his grandfather-Uncle Sun will not be able to protect the younger generations who are greedy for money.
As for hemp improvement technology......
With the resources of the iron sheet company, it is not difficult to soften the hemp material, especially the graphite X sponge developed last year, which can completely transplant the related technology.
You must know that the adsorption capacity of graphite X sponge is 300 times that of its own mass.
When the fourth secretary thought of this, his confidence doubled.
……
After Xu Fei checked the frozen wheat seedlings, he motioned to the fourth secretary to follow the T-shaped business plane back to Daze, and he walked to the village five miles away.
Entering April, the flu that ravaged the world has mutated to the fourth generation.
Thanks to the joint defense mechanism of the supply and marketing system and the supervision system of the power bank, the number of infected people has never exceeded 1,000, and the infected groups and infected areas are basically controllable.
As a result, remote villages have collectively taken off their masks.
After Xu Fei arrived in the village, he first went to the 'distribution point set up by the supply and marketing cooperatives in the village-level unit', took his temperature, verified his identity, and poked his throat with a cotton swab.
When the proof is obtained, the power bank of other people around will no longer send out the alarm of outsiders intruding in an instant.
Xu Fei was at the consignment point, sat down at a random place, ordered a breakfast, and secretly observed while eating.
The consignment point is similar to the 'commissary', but it belongs to the supply and marketing cooperative, which is set up by the supply and marketing cooperatives according to the scale of the village, basically about 1,000 households, set up one, if it is too remote, then set up one in the central area according to the principle of proximity.
So much so that some outlets may be at uninhabited forks in the road, but they can connect the surrounding villages and make it convenient for everyone.
According to the planning of the supply and marketing cooperative, the agency has at least three personnel.
One is a 'poor student' from TEP University-School of Medicine.
These 'poor students' have not mastered medical technology, and can only diagnose some mild diseases, and then inject and dispense medicines.
According to the TEP medical technology level certification, they may not even be eligible to enter functional medicine.
However, it has always been nice to himself and adults.
In order to allow his students to eat with their mouths, he arranged the poor students to the 'sales point', serving as a salesman and a 'village doctor' on the other, and even taught them some veterinary knowledge and crop disease prevention knowledge for free through the Internet school.
The other is a 'poor student' from TEP University - Catering Student.
This catering errand student gives priority to the boyfriend or girlfriend of the medical errand student, and if the two get married and constitute a mom-and-pop shop, Osawa will also give a certain reward every year.
Poor catering students are mainly responsible for breakfast, such as soy milk fritters, such as steamed bun pancakes, such as cake pizza, such as fried chicken and cola, which are used to solve the dietary problems that arise after the farmer's work.
However, due to the fact that one person is busy, in addition to preparing the most basic breakfast, such as only soy milk fritters today, only spicy soup and steamed buns tomorrow, and only tofu brain and oil cakes the day after tomorrow, farmers need to make a reservation one day in advance if they want to eat other things on a certain day.
It's like an uncle who returned from delivery, "Dashan, get me two FMC fried chickens tomorrow, and ask for the Grandma Erya brand." ”
"Okay, come and get it before 8 a.m."
"Yes!"
Like a group of women who are about to go to the greenhouse to pick vegetables and fruits, "Dashan, tomorrow morning's buns, I want mushroom meat, not leek eggs, we are going to a depression fifty miles away, and we can't come back at noon, I'm afraid of getting rancid." ”
"Great!"
It can be said that this is a 'big pot of rice' in another sense, which is convenient for the evacuation of villages in batches after the disaster comes.
As for whether there are any other farmers who also make this kind of breakfast......
Labor dispatch will definitely take this into account, for example, the consignment point in the next village, which is the responsibility of the local husband and wife who can cook.
And the third person at the outlet is the hound.
It is mainly responsible for the safety of outsiders - TEP students, as well as helping the village to keep an eye on outsiders and detect outsiders with their sense of smell.
In addition, the consignment point is linked to the supply and marketing cooperative, which can undertake services such as express delivery, logistics, printing, laundry, etc., and can also handle consignment, goods purchasing, goods consignment, real-time remittance, member recharge, electric bicycle rental and other businesses.
Therefore, the inside of the dropshipping point looks a little cluttered.
After entering the door, there is a courier rack on the left, a printer and computer on the right, and a medicine area behind the cash register.
Walk forward, all kinds of drinks, all kinds of snacks, all kinds of books......
There are even two goats and a cow tied to the backyard.
Xu Fei walked around inside and out, bought a soft Huaxia, and mailed it to Harden through the power bank.
Registration, processing, packing, and payment are all done by yourself, and then the goods can be put in the express delivery area.
The catering student, who is known as Dashan, received a reminder from the power bank and turned around and said: "It's past 8 o'clock in the morning, and you need to wait until tomorrow to send this ...... In West Asia, it is estimated that the fastest is three days and the slowest is one week, which depends on whether City X is busy or not...... In other words, the name of your buddy Harden is really good. ”
Xu Fei nodded, and just wanted to respond, but saw a power bank prompt, saying that someone reported him, and the system automatically listed himself as a suspicious person, and even provided a GIF animation of himself walking around the consignment point.
Xu Fei waved his hand, left the sales agency, and walked into the village.
The proximity of rural households to work has greatly reduced the rate of outflow and even triggered a wave of homecoming, causing many people to stop working far away.
This phenomenon fills the village with the laughter of children, but it is also mixed with many crying fathers and mothers.
Xu Fei walked around the flowers, walked around, returned to the sales point, took the power bank to rent an electric bicycle, rode to the township ten miles away, and then returned the electric bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative.
In the afternoon, he visited the supply and marketing medical care, the Yuhong class, the youth league primary school, and the local emergency management system......
As the first five-year plan comes to an end, the 'various advance arrangements' that have been carried out in parallel with the hoarding of resources are becoming more and more mature, and will promote the economic development of the East, as well as change many of the old patterns that were existing in the East.
Although people are still poor, and many people still can't afford to build a new house, no matter who they are, their faces are full of confident smiles that come with 'life is going forward'.
Xu Fei returned to the township supply and marketing cooperative, found a new industrial microcomputer after updating the hardware, opened the farmer forum, and took a cursory look.
The topic of the peasant households, in addition to trivial wages, is that the wheat output will be reduced this year, and the price of wheat will increase next year.
But the money earned from farming is obviously not as good as the money earned from working for a month, so no one is chatting about whether to get back the leased land.
Some people are even glad that they are fortunate to rent out the land, otherwise they may not even be able to make up the money for their children's college education this year.
Xu Fei browsed for a long time, and planned to quit the forum and play World of Warcraft, which had just been launched by TEP Group, for a while, but found an article about wheat.
It greatly disparages the wheat of the East, saying that it is impossible to make bread, resulting in poor sales in the world, while the wheat of the West is not only suitable for bread, but also suitable for making all kinds of exquisite pastries.
Oriental wheat belongs to all-purpose flour, with more protein content and strong toughness, if it is processed into high-gluten flour, the toughness is greater, and it is indeed impossible to make soft bread, only suitable for making ramen, steamed steamed buns, fried fritters, and pancakes.
Western wheat is a low-gluten flour, and after processing, it has a lower protein content, less toughness, and a looser pasta, making it suitable for making bread and pastries.
In order to promote their own low-gluten flour, the world's four major grain merchants will definitely not advertise their flour as 'low protein content', let alone call it 'low-gluten flour', but give it the name of 'refined flour', and even call the flour with lower protein content 'super-refined flour'.
It is a well-known fact that people drink milk because of its high protein content.
Therefore, the nutritional value of oriental all-purpose flour is definitely greater than that of western low-bread flour.
Therefore, Oriental wheat is no problem, and the price should be higher.
After reading the article, Xu Fei knew that this was a foreshadowing of the reduction in wheat production this year and the rise in wheat prices next year.
Xu Fei immediately contacted the 'TEP Computer Service Company', which was occupied by his own family in the Black Guest War, which is now the Iron Computer Service Company, to trace the source of the article.
Half an hour later.
Whoosh Fox Portal uploads a real-time news.
Xu Fei, the director of foreign trade, interviewed the four major grain merchants.
