088 South of the clouds
Xishuangbanna Gasa International Airport.
A group of middle-aged people with suitcases stood in the parking lot and looked around.
Finally, a BMW sedan and a Buick business vehicle stopped in front of them.
A very delicate-looking girl wearing Dai ethnic costumes came out of the BMW car, and said generously to the group: "Mr. An, I'm sorry to be late." I wanted to drive the car up to the arrival level to pick you up. I didn't expect you to go straight to the parking lot. These are the guests you brought from Shanghai, right? ”
"yes. I specially brought them to see the Dai beauties. Hahaha. Ankang turned his head and introduced to everyone: "This is the head of Daoxi Yuedao of Lanjiang Agricultural Science and Technology Company." ”
"No, it won't. So young! ”
"No, it won't. So beautiful! ”
The guests were like speaking in a WeChat group, lining up to praise Dao Xiyue.
This admiration is indeed heartfelt.
Because the woman in professional clothes that Ankang showed in his PPT is obviously much more mature than the one in front of him. There is a feeling of judging two people.
On the way from the airport to the company, Dao Xiyue did not rush to introduce her project, but introduced the customs of Yunnan and Xishuangbanna to Ankang and the guests.
"Mr. Dao, are you usually dressed like this?" One guest asked.
"Hahaha. Of course not. Dao Xiyue smiled, "Isn't this a national costume specially worn to welcome our distinguished guests?" It's like participating in a people's congress. Today, if you don't mind, come to my house at noon to eat authentic Yunnan food. ”
Everyone applauded, saying that it was an unexpected surprise.
It takes an hour to drive to the office area of Lanjiang Company. The company is located in the middle of a large farm, which is in line with the positioning of this agritech company.
The reason why Ankang brought these investors from Shanghai Lujiazui to Yunnan was entirely due to the PPT speech he made a few days ago. This project in Daoxi Moon is one of the projects that Ankang highlighted in his PPT, and it is also the only one related to agriculture.
The audience was very interested in this unique agricultural project. Ankang understands this very well.
After all, with the improvement of people's living standards, everyone pays more and more attention to food safety. Especially people who live in cities, it is difficult to understand what has happened to the food they buy from the supermarket and the market.
The explosive increase in health problems in recent years has made people look more critically at issues such as dairy safety, genetically modified foods, and the use of unhealthy pesticides.
After Dao Xiyue's introduction, the visitors fully understood her company's business philosophy and business model.
First of all, this company is growing agricultural products in a green way. Secondly, this company is cultivating in a large-scale intensive manner.
The green planting method is easier to understand, that is, according to the growth cycle and growth law of crops, do not do things to promote the growth of seedlings. In addition, we should use farm fertilizers and pesticides as much as possible.
Large-scale intensification of production is less well understood.
In fact, you can understand this by looking at American movies. For example, in the famous sci-fi film "Interstellar", the family of the male protagonist runs a large field of farmland. Thousands of acres of farmland are cultivated by a single family.
How? It is the large-scale application of agricultural machinery. Of course, in Interstellar, these agricultural machines are highly automated, and can automatically complete various processes such as ploughing, sowing, harvesting, and processing without human intervention.
However, in reality, with current technology, the automation scene in science fiction films is completely achievable.
Many people who have seen the propaganda posters and posters of the 50s and 60s of the 20th century have a deep impression of all kinds of agricultural machinery in the countryside. Now sixty or seventy years have passed since the age reflected in the posters of the last century, why can't you see these agricultural machinery in the countryside?
In fact, this is not a problem of technology, but a problem of society.
At present, the vast majority of rural areas practice a contract responsibility system. Each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others. As a result, each farmer uses ridges to separate his own field from someone else's. A piece of farmland suitable for agricultural mechanization is artificially divided into 20 or 30 small plots of land. Agricultural machinery simply can't get in.
This is one of them, and the other is population management at the policy level.
A large number of surplus labor in the rural areas are in fact unemployed. However, if this surplus labor force is counted into the unemployment rate, it will have a negative impact on society, so only the urban unemployed population is counted when the statistics are counted, and the rural population is completely ignored by the statistics.
Although the unemployment rate in rural areas is ignored, it does not mean that this group can really be ignored. A large number of idle people in the fields can easily cause social security problems. Finding something for them to do became a necessity.
Imagine if a thousand acres of land were cultivated by one family, what would the remaining dozens of families and hundreds of people do?
Born in the late last century, migrant workers are an initiative to solve the unemployment rate in rural areas and solve the shortage of labor in urban areas. However, the problem of employment in urban areas has been solved, but the problem of inefficient labor in rural areas has not been solved.
Of course, it doesn't make no economic sense to abandon agricultural machinery and allow rural people to grow land in an inefficient way.
Ankang remembers a typical case in economics. This case was also written into his economics popularization book by Mr. Mao Yushi, an economist who dared to speak the truth: how to promote economic development? An effective way to do this is to have a group of people dig a hole in the ground, and then have another group of people fill in the hole.
On the face of it, the two gangs seem to have done nothing. Not really.
Hire two groups of people in this way and pay them wages. On the one hand, the problem of unemployment can be solved, and on the other hand, the problem of the circulation of money and commodities can be solved. The basis of the state's policy of expanding domestic demand is, simply put, the macro embodiment of the strategy of digging holes and filling holes.
It is possible for a country or a place to solve economic and social problems in this way, but not for a company.
Dao Xiyue is an entrepreneur who needs to solve the problems of running a business in the most efficient way possible.
So these investors from Lujiazui, Shanghai, saw the scenes they saw in their childhood posters and posters on the farm of Daoxiyue:
In a large expanse of fields, countless agricultural machinery is working in the fields.
In a vast expanse of blue sky, countless drones are sowing seeds, pesticides, and monitoring.
Where are the people?
People are in the monitoring room of an office building with air conditioning and water dispensers.
People in the IT R&D center of the office building.
People in the Agricultural Machinery Maintenance Department.
After all, the most important thing for a person is mental power, not physical strength.
