Chapter 262: Galaxy Agriculture Company
"Uncle, I have decided to establish Yinhe Agricultural Company with a registered capital of 10 billion yuan, which is mainly involved in agricultural machinery manufacturing, seed cultivation, fertilizers and pesticides for the time being!"
[Galaxy] is an important brand under the Borderless Group, and in the future, Galaxy Agriculture Company will carry out space breeding, and Zhao Ye hopes that the brand [Galaxy] will become more resounding.
Machinery manufacturing is the strength of Wujiang Group, so Wujiang Group's involvement in agricultural machinery is theoretically very feasible.
As for the choice of seed cultivation, it is because in addition to China's rice and wheat seeds, which are basically our own, corn, soybean and vegetable seeds are basically imported from abroad.
Therefore, after Zhao Ye established Yinhe Agricultural Company, the first thing that came to mind was to cultivate seeds.
Cultivating seeds should be studied on experimental fields, then a seed supply base should be established, large-scale mechanized production should be carried out, and finally improved seeds should be sold to the outside world, so as to break the seed monopoly of foreign countries.
Pesticides and fertilizers are important factors in ensuring food production, so they have also been put on the agenda.
When Xiao Yuliang heard this, he couldn't help but show joy on his face, but at this time, Zhao Ye suddenly changed his words.
"Uncle, after the establishment of Yinhe Agricultural Company, the Yinhe Seed Industry Division will be established. Yinhe Seed Division will be divided into two departments, one is conventional breeding with hybrid technology as the core; The other sector is biological breeding based on transgenic technology.
I hope you can help me invite Academician Yuan Nongping to join the Galaxy Seed Industry Division, mainly responsible for the breeding department with hybrid technology as the core! ”
Zhao Ye paused, and pretended to sigh, "If the Galaxy Agricultural Company does not have a leading scientific research boss, it will be difficult for the company to continue!" The most important thing is that Academician Yuan Nongping can play a more important role in our Yinhe Agricultural Company, and we can provide him with more adequate scientific research funds, so as to accelerate the research of super rice and other grain and vegetable seeds, and increase China's total grain output! ”
The super hybrid rice in this period is naturally not as good as the era of Zhao Ye's previous life, and the hybrid rice still has a lot of room for improvement.
However, conventional breeding with hybrid technology as the core has been very mature after decades of development, but there is not much room for further improvement of productivity when heterosis has been fully utilized; Biological breeding takes transgenic technology as the core, the variety breeding process is more efficient, accurate and direct, and the economic benefits brought by the bred varieties are also greater, so it has become the key development direction of the seed industry giants.
Just this year, in 1996, Monsanto launched the first genetically modified soybean, setting off a wave of genetically modified food, and then major companies around the world will also launch their own genetically modified products.
Can genetically modified food be eaten? Healthy or unhealthy?
This kind of thing seems a bit redundant to consider.
In the previous life of China, many seeds were imported from abroad, and most of these seeds were genetically modified seeds, and if you didn't eat genetically modified food, you wouldn't have anything to eat.
In the previous life, China mainly focused on hybrid technology, but it also carried out research on genetically modified organism breeding.
What Zhao Ye did at this time was nothing more than to advance the time for researching genetically modified food, and invested a huge amount of money in research.
The safety of genetically modified food abroad is not safe and cannot be determined.
However, Zhao Ye can ensure the safety and health of self-developed genetically modified food.
In his previous life, Zhao Ye had heard that foreign genetically modified foods were mainly designed for the DNA of Asians, so as to realize that genetically modified foods have the strategic power of precision strikes against a certain race.
Therefore, Zhao Ye has more reason to enter the field of genetically modified organisms.
At present, although domestic biotechnology is lagging behind, the gap with foreign countries is not very large. Monsanto only launched genetically modified soybeans this year, and it is entirely possible for Galaxy Agribusiness to catch up if it struggles to catch up.
When Xiao Yuliang heard this, he was silent for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be a problem to invite Academician Yuan Nongping to join Yinhe Agricultural Company, but we officially hope to be able to take a stake in Yinhe Agricultural Company!" ”
Officials are obviously optimistic about Wujiang Group's investment in the agricultural sector, so the decision to invest in the company was made very early.
Agriculture is the foundation of the nation.
After the official shareholding in Yinhe Agricultural Company, it will be able to better understand and master agricultural technology, promote domestic agricultural technological innovation, and increase China's total grain output.
When Zhao Ye heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then immediately agreed: "Okay, no problem, I can let the state take 30% of the shares." ”
Xiao Yuliang said happily: "Okay! Then we will contribute according to the proportion of shares, Wujiang Group will contribute 7 billion yuan, and the state will contribute 3 billion yuan! ”
"Hmm." Zhao Ye nodded, there was no objection to this, it was relatively fair to both parties.
After a while, Zhao Ye hung up the phone.
At present, he has reached a basic intention with Xiao Yuliang.
But for more details, Zhao Ye will send someone to talk to the government.
……
……
Zhou Yue, male, 43 years old, graduated from the University of California, and served as vice president of China at ADM, one of the world's four largest grain merchants. It is easy for Chinese Americans to hit the ceiling in businesses in Western countries.
Obviously, this is the case with Zhou Yue, who is obviously more capable than his white bosses, but AMD's management favors white people more.
This made Zhou Yue very dissatisfied, but he was helpless.
When Zhao Ye extended an olive branch to him, Zhou Yue was so excited that he almost didn't think about it, so he decided to join Galaxy Agricultural Company and serve as CEO.
"Zhao Dong, the slow development of the domestic agricultural machinery market is largely due to the dispersion of rural land, household contracting, and small scale, which is difficult to carry out large-scale operation, and it is naturally difficult to stimulate farmers to adopt mechanized production." At this time, Zhou Yue introduced to Zhao Ye the difficulties of Yinhe Agricultural Company in developing agricultural machinery.
Zhao Ye thought about it carefully, it is true, nowadays, the land owned by a rural family is relatively small and scattered, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to purchase agricultural machinery.
Zhou Yue then said: "However, the opportunity for the development of mechanized agriculture has come! Nowadays, as more and more rural people go out to work, the rural labor force is becoming increasingly scarce, and the fields are gradually abandoned. At this time, if the state can introduce a land circulation policy, allowing farmers who enjoy the right to contract land management to transfer the land management right or use right to other farmers and enterprises, the land can be transformed from fragmented management to large-scale management, and the enthusiasm of rural households to adopt mechanized production will be increased. ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
In the future, with the deepening of the aging of the rural labor force and the continuous improvement of the land transfer policy, the proportion of large-scale agricultural production will be further increased, creating favorable factors for the development of the agricultural machinery industry.
However, can the state now launch a land transfer policy?
Zhao Ye couldn't grasp this matter.
I have to ask my uncle Xiao Yuliang to find out with the leaders above.
"Land transfer policy, I will let people probe the tone. Anyway, our Galaxy Agricultural Company has just set foot in the field of agricultural machinery and does not have any products, so there is no need to use a lot of strength to actively promote this policy for the time being. ”
Although there is a shortage of rural labor, it is not very short, and there are still many rural people working in the fields at home.
Rural people are simple and thrifty, hard-working, and would rather be tired and hard-working, rather than spend money to buy expensive agricultural machinery.
In the next few years, when all rural people realize that they can earn much more money by going out to work than by farming at home, there will be young men and women in rural areas who go out to work, leaving the elderly to do farm work in the countryside.
For a long time, Galaxy Agribusiness will probably sell primarily affordable small, home-based agricultural machinery that has a huge market in China's vast rural areas.
And the large-scale agricultural machinery market, not to say that there is none, can only say very little.
Unless the Galaxy Agricultural Company itself comes forward to contract the land and carry out large-scale operation, in this way, large agricultural machinery can be produced and sold by itself.
Zhao Ye thinks that this problem is not big, it is now 1996, unlike the beginning of reform and opening up, "sensitive issues" are no longer sensitive. If Galaxy Agriculture Company contracts land for operation, it will definitely give the country the green light all the way.
