Agricultural giant since 1983

At this time, Shanghai’s convenience store system is far from as rich as it will be in the future. Although there are foreign-funded convenience stores such as Lawson, most of them are convenience stores opened by state-owned enterprises in the original grain and oil system, such as Liangyou, Meilin, and Kedi. The products in the stores are also based on They mainly operate in the original category, but there is still a big gap in terms of product variety, modern decoration style, and service attitude.

The 365 convenience store of Huinong has absorbed the advanced experience of foreign convenience stores. The decoration style is simple and elegant, the variety of goods is more abundant, and the service attitude is far better than that of the staff of those state-owned enterprises. Therefore, it began to expand rapidly shortly after opening. In Shanghai Siege cities everywhere.

In addition to these routine operations, Li Lei also hired several Shanghai local famous chefs to serve as consultants for 365 convenience stores. Boxed lunches and snacks are also popular products in convenience stores, especially those opened near office buildings, and those white-collar workers who work around Classes often have a headache for eating. The surrounding restaurants are either too expensive or too crowded. If there are clean and delicious box lunches, they will definitely be welcomed by them.

In the future, this will also be a hot area of ​​competition in the Shanghai convenience store system. In this regard, Lawson has done the most exaggeration. They have developed more than 70 types of bento that meet Shanghai's taste in half a year, and update and iterate in a three-month cycle. They defeated competitors such as Family Mart and 7-11, but now, Li Lei has taken the lead. The boxed meals developed by these celebrity chefs quickly conquered the white-collar workers in Hongqiao and People’s Square office buildings. Today’s In Shanghai, these two places have the most and densest office buildings, and Lujiazui will have a few years to go.

"The data of several trial stores are very good, but there are still some minor problems. For example, in terms of product settings, customers in commercial areas, office areas, and living areas are still very different. Appropriate, in this regard, we must do the work carefully and adjust the types of goods in time! Understand their needs in time!" Li Lei urged Guo Junbin.

"Don't worry, we are already doing these tasks, and the statistical data has been completed." Guo Junbin took out a report and handed it to Li Lei. The above data is very interesting. Mr. Du's sales volume is not the highest in the living area, but the office area. , it seems that educated and financially capable people really pursue x quality of life.

"Well, you've done a good job. Next, we must seize the time to expand. Not only should we open as many stores as possible in Shanghai, but we should also pay attention to the time to open stores in BJ, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhongzhou and other cities. When the time is right, we can Letting go of the franchise system and relying on our own ability to open stores is still too slow." Family Mart, 7-11, Lawson and other convenience stores all have mature franchise systems, relying on this system can not only collect franchise fees, but also Achieving rapid expansion is also the only way for chain convenience stores to go.

"I borrowed a few people from Mr. Wang of KFC. They are all professionals who helped them join the franchise before, but you will take the lead when the time comes. After all, there is still a difference between a fast food restaurant and a convenience store." Is the franchise system well done? It is related to the life and death of the convenience store chain, so it must not be sloppy, and there must be a professional person in charge. Fortunately, Li Lei has a wide network of contacts, and he borrowed someone with just a phone call.

"When I was in Lotus, I also had contact with the franchise business. Some time ago, I was also organizing people to study the franchise plans of Family Mart, 7-11, and Lawson. After the talents you mentioned are in place, we will form a team to take charge of this matter. We must come up with a plan suitable for our 365!" Guo Junbin immediately expressed his opinion.

"The competition in the convenience store market is far from intense now. We must seize the opportunity to gain a firm foothold. It will not be so easy in a few years. Time is precious, so don't slack off. The harder you work now, the better you will be in the future." The greater the hope of the company going public, when that time comes, I will separate the convenience store system and set up a new business department, and you all have shares to take!" Li Lei encouraged.

"We must work hard!" Guo Junbin and others immediately became excited. With the successful cases of Xiong Yiwu, Sun Mengquan, Wang Guangxing and other teams in front, they firmly believe in the pie drawn by Li Lei. In the future, as long as the company is successfully listed, they will be able to Achieve financial freedom.

The 365 Convenience Store has gained a firm foothold in Shanghai, and Li Lei can also leave. This time he took a plane to the capital. After arriving in the capital, he quickly made an appointment with the target person, the academician, vice president of the National Academy of Sciences, and director of the Department of Earth Sciences. , Academician Xu, the second in command of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Academician Xu graduated from BJ Forestry University. After finishing his undergraduate studies, he joined the Academy of Forestry Sciences. After the reform and opening up, he was sent to Stockholm University in Sweden to engage in research on remote sensing digital image processing, and then became an authoritative figure in this field in China. , was elected as a member of the academic department in 92, became the vice president two years later, and became the second in command of the Ministry of Science and Technology last year.

After the meeting, Li Lei and Academician Xu talked about the application of remote sensing technology in the agricultural field. The so-called remote sensing is based on the theory of electromagnetic waves, using various sensing instruments to collect and process the electromagnetic wave information radiated and reflected by long-distance targets. And finally imaging, so as to detect and identify various scenes on the ground is a comprehensive technology. The famous cloth shoe academician Professor Li Xiaowen is a leading expert in this field in China.

This technology is also widely used in the field of agriculture. The use of remote sensing technology can be used to investigate agricultural resources, analyze land use status, monitor agricultural diseases and insect pests, estimate crop production and other comprehensive technologies for agricultural applications. By obtaining image data of crops, including their crop growth Situation, forecast and prediction of crop diseases and insect pests.

"This technology is also very important for our Huinong. I heard that the Remote Sensing Application Center is preparing to start the construction of grassland remote sensing monitoring and early warning system? We Huinong have a large number of grasslands in Inner Mongolia and other provinces rich in grassland resources. They are used to raise beef cattle, Dairy cows, mutton sheep, milk sheep, if we can keep abreast of information on pasture degradation, grass-livestock balance, etc., it will be of great help to us! So I would like to ask you, is there anything that needs help from the Remote Sensing Application Center? ? We Huinong are willing to contribute!" Li Lei said.

"There is indeed this plan, and it is expected to be officially launched next year. It is natural to say that there are difficulties. Which research institution is not short of funds now? You Huinong are a rich man. If you are willing to provide funding, the time for the start of the project will definitely be advanced. Quite a lot!" Academician Xu is very happy, and he also wants to make rapid progress in the domestic remote sensing industry, "However, I am in charge of research on digital imaging and forestry remote sensing. As for agricultural remote sensing, Director Tang of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is mainly in charge. , I'll call him later and make an appointment for you, you two talk!"

The Director Tang he mentioned is academician Tang Huajun, director of the Institute of Agricultural Natural Resources and Agricultural Regional Planning and the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Agricultural Regional Planning of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Academician Tang graduated from Southwest Agricultural University and then joined the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Research on remote sensing technology.

"Then I will trouble you!" If this cooperation can be achieved, it will indeed be beneficial to Huinong, but this time Li Lei came to him to talk about grassland remote sensing. Make some good impressions, and then it's convenient to talk about business.

"I heard that the ministry is carrying out the reform of the State Key Laboratory recently? So what is the direction of this reform?" Li Lei asked, this is the goal of his trip.

The history of State Key Laboratories can be traced back to 1984. From the beginning to 1997, it belongs to the first stage. In these years, the country first spent 9.1 million to build 81 State Key Laboratories, focusing on basic theoretical research. Layout, and then use the World Bank loan to invest 8634 million US dollars and 1.78 million yuan, and set up projects to build 75 national key laboratories, focusing on the layout of applied basic research and engineering fields, so far the basic layout of the scientific research field has been completed.

However, with the development of the times, this research institution has been unable to meet the needs of national development, so since last year, the Ministry of Science and Technology began to consider the next stage of scientific research layout, in which the key laboratory system should also be changed, and a group of non-compliant A number of new laboratories have been established in the fields of major national needs and emerging frontier fields, and these laboratories enjoy various preferential policies such as funds and policies.

"Judging from the experience of the past ten years, the key laboratories have indeed achieved a large number of results, but there are still shortcomings such as overstaffing and slow progress. Therefore, reforms must be made to establish a more complete management system and introduce new institutions. Participate in the construction of key laboratories!" said Academician Xu.

"So, what are the new institutions you are talking about?" Li Lei immediately grasped the key point. Most of the previous state key laboratories were founded by universities and other research institutions. It is impossible to participate outside the system, and Li Lei It is clear that this scope will gradually expand in the future, and some enterprises are also qualified to establish state key laboratories, so he is here to explore the way for the research institutions under Huinong.

"At present, there are two main considerations. One is the cross-cooperation between different research institutions. In the past, the key laboratories were fighting on their own and only cared about their own share. Now we have to consider comprehensive development and let some related institutions work together to do research; On the other hand, it is to do a good job in the cooperation between the province and the ministry, to promote the development of local basic research, and to build the national key laboratory jointly by the ministry and the local area." Academician Xu continued to introduce.

Hearing this answer, Li Lei was a little disappointed, because although these measures had made progress, he was still not satisfied, so he immediately said, "Academician Xu, why do I feel that there is still one piece missing? Our scientific research cannot be separated from the market, and Now it is the enterprise that is most closely integrated with the market, why not include the enterprise in the construction list of the State Key Laboratory?"

"I'm definitely far less familiar with the technological development of our country than you, but I have also come into contact with some companies over the years. As far as I know, the research departments of many companies are very good, such as Haier's white goods R&D department, Hisense's TV technology, Huawei’s communication technology, etc., without humility, our Huinong’s animal breeding technology, slow-release fertilizer technology, feed technology, and animal breeding technology are also among the best in the country!” Li Lei named several companies. , in addition to Huinong, Haier, Hisense, and Huawei will all become the first batch of enterprises with state key laboratories in the future.

"Your Huinong's technology is really good. When the Central Plains Province applied for the National Science and Technology Progress Award for your new laying hen breeding technology, I also voted for it!" Academician Xu couldn't deny this. Enterprises are indeed at the forefront of the country in research in related fields, and even individual technologies have reached the international advanced level.

"Academician Xu, you see, our company has funds and strength. If we build a national key laboratory, we don't even need state funding. We can complete the laboratory construction on our own ability, which can help the country solve major problems. If it is because Is it a pity that Li Lei wanted to build a state key laboratory because he was excluded from the list of construction units of the state key laboratory because of his status?" Huinong did not lack this money at all, what he wanted is something else.

The first is the preferential policy. After obtaining the qualification of the State Key Laboratory, you can get a lot of policy convenience; the second is the expansion of influence. What a private enterprise research institution has produced, and the research results of the State Key Laboratory, The impression left on the customer is absolutely different. Once the results are achieved, the name alone can save countless promotion funds.

Finally, there is the problem of talents. It is much easier to recruit talents after being able to build a national key laboratory. Now Li Lei goes out to recruit technicians, often by spending money to provide them with various research conveniences, but not Not all researchers value these things. Due to historical inertia, many capable researchers are still more accustomed to working in national research institutions and cannot be recruited. However, if they are named as State Key Laboratories, it will be more convenient to recruit people. too much!Not to mention going to colleges and universities to recruit, top students will definitely rush to come.

"The issues you mentioned have actually been reported to us by some people, such as PetroChina, Sinopec, China State Construction Engineering Corporation, and the Electric Power Group, China National Machinery Group, China Textile Group, etc., but these are large state-owned enterprises, and private enterprises come to ask about this. This is the first time!"

"The State Key Laboratory is of great importance, and every step of reform must be done cautiously, but what you said is indeed reasonable! After so many years of reform and opening up, private enterprises are also growing stronger and stronger, no matter in terms of talent pool or research and development. The investment is getting stronger and stronger, and now there are indeed some excellent companies that have the ability to build national key laboratories! You can organize your ideas into written materials, and I will call people in the department to discuss this topic later! "Dean Xu also thinks that the country's technological development is getting faster and faster.

Tomorrow's update will be back to normal.
