Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 296 Different Flour
The leaders definitely don’t believe Mou Zhong’s words, because they still have basic common sense, not to mention that it’s unrealistic to blow up the ditches and ridges on the Loess Plateau, and the climate problem alone can’t be solved. There is no way for Chengping to become Jiangnan.

But northern Shaanxi is really too poor. It’s hard to meet big bosses like Li Lei and Lao Mouzi, so you can’t make them happy. It was celebrated with drums, so most of the people didn't expose his words, but laughed and laughed.

It's just that this plan is too unimaginable, and someone still couldn't help asking, "Mr. Mou, if you follow your plan, how much will it cost?"

"Hey, isn't it just money! It's a trivial matter!" Old Mouzi waved his hand grandly, "I can invest 50 billion in this plan, do you think it is enough?"

50 billion!Last year, the GDP of YL City was 34 billion, and YA City was slightly better, reaching 60 billion. The total of the entire northern Shaanxi area was only a little over 50 billion. Lao Mouzi now has [-] billion. Investment, local leaders are all confused.

"Mr. Mou? Did I hear correctly? You said 50 billion? Not 50?" This satellite made everyone present couldn't believe their ears.

"Yes, it is 50 billion! Northern Shaanxi is a good place. Our new China was born here. Seeing that northern Shaanxi is still so poor, I feel bad! So I want to contribute to northern Shaanxi. Since If you want to work hard, then you have to make great efforts to completely solve this problem! 50 billion is just the first phase, if it is not enough, I will add another 50 billion or 100 billion!"

Li Lei just wanted to laugh when he heard this. No one else knows how much old Mouzi has. After two years of continuous ups and downs, there are losses and gains. If you ask Lao Mouzi to spend 5000 million, it may still be possible. You don’t even need to think about 50 billion. No one in China today can spend so much money, even if Mr. Rong from CITIC is no exception!
"Thank you, Mr. Mou. Thank you, Mr. Mou. On behalf of the people of northern Shaanxi, I thank you! If the money can really be paid, then you will be our benefactor in northern Shaanxi!" Having said that, you still have to spend some money, right?Even if there is no 50 billion, 50 is fine, at least one or two factories can be built, right?

"Hey, you guys, what should I say? It has been almost 20 years since the reform and opening up, why do you still wait for this? Can't you liberate your mind a little bit? Use more flexible thinking to solve problems ?” Old Mouzi was furious.

"Um, Mr. Mou, what do you mean?" The local leaders didn't understand. Since they arrived here, they have been led by the nose by old Mouzi.

"Five billion is nothing to me, but unfortunately, our Nande Group signed a cooperation agreement with the Manzhouli City Government last year. The Nande Group plans to invest 50 billion in the overall development, investment and construction of the Manzhouli area. Manzhouli is being built into the Xiangjiang River in the north! Now Manzhouli has granted me ten square kilometers of land, and Russia has also given me five square kilometers on the other side. Now our Nande Group is working in full swing in Manzhouli, and a lot of working capital has been occupied! So I can’t pay for it for the time being!” Lao Mouzi is really an old sow wearing bras—one set after another, before the 100 billion thing was finished, another 50 billion came.

"But you don't have to worry, money is actually very easy to deal with! Doesn't the country give you poverty alleviation loans every year? It's too wasteful for these loans to lie in the bank. You transfer these poverty alleviation loans to Nande's account, and then With Nande running, I promise to get more funds, and within a few years, I will be able to gather 50 billion, and then blow up all these ditches." Old Mouzi started to fool around again.

What did I say, why are you bragging about being so big, you are waiting here, Shanbei is looking at your funds, but I didn't expect you to be eyeing other people's poverty alleviation loans!This abacus is very accurate!Li Lei suddenly realized that this is the old Mouzi's usual routine. Whether it is developing Manzhouli or blowing up the ditches and ridges in northern Shaanxi, first come up with a super large project to attract the attention of the local government, and then find a way to get it out of their pockets. Take the money out to do other things. This is just like exchanging cans for airplanes.

In the development of Manzhouli, it is said that 100 billion was invested. In fact, from the beginning to the end of the project, Nande only invested a total of [-] million, and of this [-] million, how much was taken out by Nande itself, and how much was fooled by others? Yes, it's really hard to say.

The leaders in northern Shaanxi are not as courageous as those in Manchuria. They backed down when they heard that poverty alleviation loans were going to be used. If anyone dared to use the money, and it was hundreds of millions of dollars, there would not be enough heads to chop off. So their attitude was obviously a lot colder.

Lao Mouzi is not angry, anyway, he always fools around like this wherever he goes. He goes to Manchuria and says he wants to build the local area into the Xiangjiang River in the north. Chips with a calculation speed between 100 billion and 6 billion times will be produced within a month. In a word, if there is a date or no date, it will be a pole first. If you don't spend money, you won't lose much if you don't succeed, but if you succeed, you can make a lot of money.

Since I didn’t get there, I’d better go to another place and continue to fool. Seeing that the leaders in northern Shaanxi were unmoved, Lao Mouzi was not interested in this place either. He used the excuse that there were billions of dollars worth of big projects to discuss. He flew away in two days, but Li Lei was not in a hurry and continued wandering around northern Shaanxi.

His investment in northern Shaanxi is much more real. Northern Shaanxi looks desolate, but in fact there are still many good things. Not to mention the coal buried underground, there is also another rich mine on the ground, which is apples. Shaanxi's apple planting area and output surpassed that of Shandong, ranking first in the country, and one of the important reasons for this is that Shaanxi expanded apple planting to northern Shaanxi.

The altitude in northern Shaanxi is high, the light conditions are good, the air is dry, but the soil is extremely deep, calcium, magnesium, zinc and selenium and other trace elements that are beneficial to the human body are distributed, and most of the Loess Plateau is far away from industrial areas, so The water source is pure and the pollution level is low. The high temperature during the day is conducive to the photosynthesis of the fruit and the synthesis of organic matter. The low temperature at night weakens the respiration of the fruit, reduces the consumption of organic matter, and is conducive to the accumulation of sugar. It is these wonderful characteristics that make Shaanxi Apples in the northern region have extremely high sugar storage and a richer flavor.

The most famous rice in the country is in Wuchang, and one of the most famous apples is in Luochuan, so Li Lei, led by the local leaders, came to Luochuan County to visit the apple industry here.

In the future, the total output of Luochuan apples will exceed one million tons, accounting for more than one percent of the total global output. Every household here grows apples. Relying on apples can bring them an annual income of more than [-] yuan. So much money has been paid, surpassing the vast majority of the country; Luochuan is also ranked among the top [-] counties in the country, and is known as the number one county in China for apples.

"From a commercial point of view, apples are one of the most suitable fruits for commercial operation. Luochuan has such good conditions, and it is indeed worthy of vigorous development. However, Luochuan's current business model is still relatively rough, and there is still room for improvement. A lot!" Li Lei communicated with local cadres while visiting.

"Mr. Li, why do you say that apples are the most suitable for commercial operation? Are other fruits not acceptable? For example, cherries, jujubes, and watermelons should all be acceptable?" Someone raised a question.

"If you plant a few fruit trees in front of your house for your family to eat, then it doesn't matter too much, as long as the local climate and soil are suitable for planting! But if you want to carry out large-scale commercial production, there are many issues to consider; The first is the taste. Needless to say, no one wants unpalatable fruits, but delicious fruits are not enough! For example, although cherries are delicious, they are not suitable for large-scale production, because cherries are not resistant to storage and transportation. It will be broken within a few days, and it will be broken if there is a bump during transportation! Our kiwifruit in Shaanxi has a similar problem. The delicious kiwifruit is too soft and can only be eaten locally. If it is transported a little farther, it will rot due to bumps. The same is true for apricots, so these fruits must either be improved varieties, or they can only wait to be eliminated."

There are many delicious fruits, but when you go to fruit shops in future generations, most of the fruit shops mainly focus on apples, citrus, grapes, bananas and other fruits that are both delicious and easy to transport. The taste of Chinese local cherries is actually not at all. It is no worse than imported cherries, why can't they beat cherries?It is because it is too soft to be transported, and no one wants to spend a lot of money to buy fruit that rots on the way; and the local kiwi was once defeated by the New Zealand kiwi, for the same reason, until the local agricultural workers improved Only then did they regain the market by cultivating delicious and convenient storage and transportation products such as Cuixiang.

There is another very typical example, that is tomatoes, the tomatoes I grew in my own home in the countryside when I was a child, they are soft and delicious after they are ripe, but when you go to the supermarket to buy them, most of them are hard tomatoes, why? ?It is also because soft tomatoes are not easy to transport. Although this kind of tomato tastes better, it is still eliminated by the market. Unless you grow it yourself in the countryside, it is difficult to eat this kind of tomato.

"Apple does not have these problems. It can be stored and transported easily, and the taste is good, so it is very suitable for mass production and sales!" This is also an important reason why Apple can gain a firm foothold in the market in the future. Fruits that are transported and sold on a large scale have similar advantages. Even strawberries, in the future, will be harder and more resistant to storage than current ones.

Luochuan was identified as a national high-quality apple base by the Ministry of Agriculture as early as the 80s. Now most of the local people make a living by planting apples, but there is still a considerable gap from later generations. After visiting, Li Lei felt the same as when he was in Wuchang. Reached a long-term cooperation agreement with the local government.

First of all, Li Lei will cooperate with Wesfarmers' scientific researchers to sponsor them to breed better apple varieties; then let Jiao Gaoliang develop a fertilizer that is more suitable for apples; Came to Luochuan to set up a new factory to produce cartons and paper bags for bagging.

Don’t underestimate this technology. It’s not just a paper bag that can be put on apples. This technology originated in Japan at the beginning of the 70th century and was carried forward in the [-]s. Now many fruit farmers in Luochuan are using this technology. Technology is used to grow more beautiful and delicious apples, but because the local production technology is not up to standard, local fruit farmers have to spend a lot of money to buy Japanese Kobayashi bags and Korean bags that prevent diseases and insects, and consume a lot of precious foreign exchange every year , if Weikang's packaging factory can break through this technology, then this money can be saved.

In addition, there are industry associations to be formed, grade standards to be formulated, and geographical specialty trademarks to be registered, etc. These are all good ways to increase added value and maintain the healthy development of the local fruit planting industry.

After listening to Li Lei's explanation of all his ideas, the accompanying cadres couldn't help but recall the scene of listening to Lao Mouzi on the Loess Plateau, "Mr. Li, your work style and Mr. Mou are simply two extremes!"

Old Mouzi made a sound, but it didn’t come true. Li Lei seldom spoke big words, but everything he said was the most practical thing; follow what Lao Mouzi said, or get rich or go to prison, but according to what Li Lei gave According to the plan, maybe you won't get rich, but it will definitely get better every year.

"No matter how good the idea is, it has to be done step by step. I will first set up a few factories in Luochuan, trying to cover all links from breeding to planting to packaging and sales, and then improve step by step, trying to make our Luochuan apples famous all over the country as soon as possible." This is the same as the Wuchang rice industry. It also takes years of precipitation to produce results. Fortunately, Li Lei has a lot of patience and is not in a hurry.

I heard that Li Lei invested a large amount of money in Luochuan, and all the counties and cities with special products in the surrounding counties came, and they rushed to invite Li Lei to invest there.

So Li Lei signed an agreement with Qingjian and other counties and cities that are rich in jujube after inspection. The red jujube in northern Shaanxi is also very famous, and this industry can also intervene in the operation.

When he finished his work and returned to Heyang, the flour factory brought him a big surprise, so he happily returned home with a small bag of flour, "Mom, let's use this flour to steam steamed buns today."

"Why do you bring flour back? As long as it is white flour, isn't steamed bun the same?" Wang Fenglian was a little confused.

"This flour is different from flour, you will know it after you try it."

　The wine is coming up, let's change it tomorrow
