Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 406 Professor Ling Yinong

"Set rules, establish standards, focus on quality control, and retain profits; set rules, make a bowl of water level, and treat every villager equally; set standards, which are unified standards for the appearance, size, quality, and even maturity of purchased agricultural products. Those that do not meet the standards will either not be accepted, or they will be sold at a unified price reduction; emphasis on quality control, from acquisition, packaging, transportation and sales, etc., so that consumers can get the received products without too much loss and quality problems; keep profits, To help the poor, you must first help yourself. If you want to help others, you must feed yourself and leave enough profits for yourself to expand production, become bigger and stronger, and have the opportunity to help more people. At the same time, you must leave enough profits for farmers. Let people work hard for a whole year, but in the end they didn't make any money!" Li Lei explained to Xing Shuwang in detail.

Then compare it with the artichoke export project supported by Huinong, "For example, the artichoke planting project that Huinong carried out in Tiannan Province, when purchasing, no matter who sent it, it doesn't care about favors, all talk about quality. What should be the quality of the product is the same, and the price should be given to the farmers! And we will re-evaluate after the purchase. If we find that the quality of the received product is not consistent with the reported one, we will investigate the purchase. The responsibilities of personnel, I also went to pay the public grain with my dad back then, and I know the way inside it very well."

Xing Shuwang nodded. He also knows the tricky process of purchasing public grain in the past. Inspectors often like to lower the grade of grain. There are certain things that private enterprises cannot avoid.

Fortunately, Li Lei has the final say on Hui Nong, and there are not so many scruples in the system. If anyone is not convinced, let him go, so if the quality of the product reported by the purchaser is worse than the actual one, he will definitely be punished. , the quality of the products reported is better than the actual ones, because at first glance it seems to save money for the company, but it discourages the enthusiasm of the growers. Maybe next year if you want to buy so many good products, there will be no more. Then the price of selling abroad will also drop, which will still affect the profits of Huinong.

"As long as we do things fairly, have clear standards, and have communicated clearly to the growers, then they will follow our requirements and provide us with high-quality products in order to make more money. If you start fooling around, the common people will fool you too, and you won’t be able to continue in this business in the end.” Isn’t that the reason for melamine milk powder?
In order to compete for the market, various dairy companies have neglected or deliberately relaxed the control over the quality of milk powder in order to obtain more milk sources. The free-range farmers followed suit and began to add melamine to the milk. The milk station is also closed. Turning a blind eye, it seems that they have made more money in the short term, but once the incident is exposed, the entire industry will collapse, and even other brands will be implicated. Domestic milk powder has become a street rat for a while. This effect has not completely subsided until more than ten years later.

"In addition, raising the standards of agricultural products is not just the work of the growers. We Huinong have also done a lot of things. First of all, we purchased high-quality artichoke seeds from abroad, set up a breeding team to conduct localization experiments, and then let them understand the technology. Extension workers go door-to-door to teach growers how to grow artichokes, otherwise, farmers in Tiannan Province have never grown artichokes, how would they know how to grow them?"

"Secondly, provide them with qualified chemical fertilizers and pesticides to ensure that these batches of artichokes will not reduce their yield or quality due to the use of inappropriate chemical fertilizers and pesticides." That's enough, there are many problems involved, some of which can be solved by the farmer himself, and some are beyond his ability. At this time, Huinong needs to come forward to solve it, not only in Tiannan, but also in XJ, Huinong, etc. Northeast China and other places also do the same, so whether it is tomato sauce, artichokes, rice, or flour, Huinong's products maintain a fairly high quality uniformity.

Many agricultural companies can't do this, so the quality of their products is somewhat uneven, and consumers are left to chance when they buy.

"Hui Nong has been doing a good job in quality control, so I won't say much here." Because most of the responsibility for this matter belongs to the agricultural enterprise and has nothing to do with farmers. "Finally, when it comes to profits, we Huinong rarely In the price war, a good product is worth the price, even if it is exported, although the saying that cheap products are not good and good products are not cheap is not true, it also reflects a certain reality.”

"At the same time, the high price is also a guarantee of quality. After hearing that our artichokes in Tiannan can be exported to earn foreign exchange, many places have begun to imitate them. Are foreign exchange popular now! In order to export their products to foreign countries, they actively find foreign distributors to sell at a lower price. , It did have some impact on our sales at the beginning, after all, everyone likes to make more money, why not have cheap products? But after a while, those dealers came back, because those products are cheap. , but the quality is not good, and there are good and bad products in the same batch, which is far less uniform than ours, so in the end they still ask us to order at the original price, and no one wants products from other places even if they are cheap!"

"Of course, this is also because artichokes are high-end vegetables with relatively large profit margins. If they are replaced with ordinary products, the result may be different."

"Our selling price is high, and the purchase price for farmers is also high, which also benefits both the company and the growers. Everyone is motivated, so that the cooperation can last for a long time. Some companies squeeze the growers too hard. They keep enough profits, so the growers have little enthusiasm, and the products they hand in continue to decline, and they even switch to other crops altogether, and many obviously good projects cannot be carried out because of the short-sightedness of the agricultural enterprises!" Li Lei spread his hands, there are quite a few companies like this.

"Hey, besides these, there are still some problems that need to be solved, but our country's current policy does not allow it!" Having said this, Li Lei sighed. There is still a big gap in developed countries.

"It's the financial support system you've been working on recently?" Xing Shuwang knew what he had done recently, so he immediately understood, "Insurance companies provide insurance to farmers is indeed beneficial to reduce farmers' risks, and agricultural loans are also helpful. It can lower the threshold! I can’t solve the insurance issue for the time being, but I can ask the provincial investment company to approach Huinong for you, and when your superiors allow you, you can buy a share in the newly established insurance company.”

"The bank loan can be relaxed a little bit. You can give me a copy of the relevant information on the breeding loan that you cooperate with Minsheng and Xinhe. I will study it carefully, and then invite the people from Xinhe to have a meeting. First select a few If the pilot project is successful, then promote it!" Xing Shuwang's governance method is relatively stable, and he didn't immediately start the project as soon as he heard that the project was good.

He has very rich experience in grassroots work, and he is very clear that regional problems will be encountered in the promotion and implementation of policies. The breeding loan has done well in other places, but if it is changed to agricultural loan and promoted in Tiannan Province, will it be able to adapt? Hard to say, so experiment.

"There is also a copy of the materials of the artichoke planting project. I will also study and study, and then I will call companies in related fields together for a meeting to learn from your advanced experience in benefiting farmers!" Now that the problem has been found, then I started to think of a solution, and hoped that those companies could learn from these experiences and do their own projects well.

The two continued to chat. Xing Shuwang had just become the top leader of the government, and it was the time when he wanted to do things with great ambition. However, Tiannan Province's industrial foundation was weak and the conditions for the development of the planting industry were insufficient. Only the breeding industry was relatively good, so He naturally chatted about this question, "Xiao Lei, what do you think we need to do in order to vigorously develop the breeding industry in Tiannan?"

"Start with science and technology. The saying that science and technology is the primary productive force is also applicable to agriculture! Compared with the United States, the Netherlands and other large animal husbandry countries, our investment in animal husbandry is far from enough. , epidemic prevention, processing, storage, transportation, etc., almost the entire process is ahead of us! Therefore, if we want to improve the animal husbandry industry in Tiannan Province, we must increase investment in this area, let the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences take the lead, and bring the province All research institutes in the country should be organized to strengthen the research investment in the whole process, and then catch up with them link by link from breeding to storage and transportation!" Li Lei blurted out.

"It will cost a lot of money!" Xing Shuwang frowned, of course he knew the importance of these things, but there are too many places to spend money now, and Tiannan Province only has so little income every year.

"Hui Nong can help with this by providing some funds and equipment assistance. Some of these are free, and some need to sign a formal business cooperation agreement to ensure that the research results belong to Huinong!" Li Lei is willing to support, but Nor will they do good deeds purely. Huinong also has its own interests in business.

"This is no problem. As long as the animal husbandry industry in Tiannan Province can be developed, the people in Tiannan will benefit in the end!" Xing Shuwang immediately agreed. In Heyang and Luxiang, Li Lei has proved the effectiveness of this cooperation model many times. He has no reason to refuse the feasibility, and apart from Huinong, Tiannan Province can't find any other partners who are willing to pay the money.

"There are also preferential policies and taxation, especially those unnecessary red tape. Now the southern and coastal provinces are doing well in this area. Tiannan still needs to improve!" After all, they are relatives of their own, and they are not in In public places, Li Lei spoke more directly.

"This is what it should be!" Although Xing Shuwang had been working in the inland provinces before, and now he is in the frontier provinces, his thinking is not conservative, and he has visited the south many times before, and he really knows the importance of these to promote business vitality. .

Then Li Lei began to talk about the specific implementation level, "Although our Tiannan Province has rich grassland resources, the carrying capacity of the grassland is limited after all, so we must set a limit on the total number of cattle and sheep. If left alone, these grasslands will soon be destroyed. It will degenerate due to overgrazing; as for more cattle and sheep, it can be solved by controlling the desert and expanding the grassland area.”

"Well, our Tiannan Province has been focusing on sand control work, and the planting of the Three-North Shelterbelt has also been going on!" This is also the content of Xing Shuwang's work.

"The Three-North Shelterbelt Project is indeed beneficial for the present, but it is not perfect. For example, there are certain problems in the selection of specific tree species." Forestry is also an important part of agriculture, so Li Lei also has relevant information in his mind. "For example, it is not advisable to plant poplars in a large area. Firstly, the tree species are too single and easy to attract a large number of natural enemies. Second, poplar consumes a lot of groundwater."

This matter has long been analyzed in the case of the forest farm owner begging for water on his knees, but it is not easy to change this practice with a few words, so Li Lei quickly changed the subject, "We Tiannan Some deserts in the province are not within the planting range of the Three-North Shelterbelt. There should be more flexible methods to control the deserts in these places. When I was in Hujian, I met Professor Lin Zhanxi, a Juncao expert. The giant Juncao he cultivated is not only It can control deserts, it can also be used as feed for cattle and sheep, and it can even be used to grow mushrooms!"

"If it can be planted in the edge of the desert, it may increase the carrying capacity of cattle and sheep in Tiannan Province!" Cattle and sheep can not only eat pasture and feed, but also Juncao, which has been used in many places in later generations to raise cattle and sheep. If it is successful, if it can be planted in Tiannan Province, then more cattle and sheep can be raised.

Hey, the conditions are still not as good as the pampas grassland, otherwise it would take so much effort, Li Lei secretly sighed.

"Oh? You introduce that Professor Lin to me, and then see if you can invite him to guide us?" Xing Shuwang asked quickly.

Li Lei then introduced to him that this Professor Lin Zhanxi is actually the prototype of Professor Ling Yinong in "Mountain and Sea Love". He started to study Juncao planting technology in the 80s, helping the local area to reduce a lot of deforestation, and at the same time let the local people use fungi. Grass-farmed mushrooms make money.

Later, he began to study Juncao sand control technology. Huinong funded these researches, so Li Lei is very familiar with him. Now Professor Lin should lead Ma Defu and Shuihua to grow mushrooms in Minning Town in "Mountain and Sea Love". Woolen cloth.

"Such an expert is exactly what we need in Tiannan. Can you invite him here as soon as possible?" After hearing Professor Lin's deeds, Xing Shuwang said quickly.

"No problem, it's a bit late today, I'll call him tomorrow, if he doesn't come, I'll go over and invite him!"
