Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 437 Time is running out
"Contact Gulfstream to inquire about the price, and then ask them to send the relevant information, and I'll see what to add!" Li Lei has already figured out where to get the money. Although Dangdang hasn't done it yet, the United States Yahoo’s Yahoo is just as popular. In 1996, when Yahoo was listed on NASDAQ, its stock price soared to 33 US dollars. In the following years, the price has skyrocketed, and now it has exceeded 475 US dollars, which is only a short distance away from their peak price of [-] US dollars. So little.

The money Li Lei invested in Yahoo at the beginning can be said to be profitable. He can win Gulfstream V by selling any stock. As for the rest, he has to clear it before the stock price reaches its peak early next year. Yahoo’s price will plummet during the dot-com bubble. , and then hovering below ten dollars for a long time, from the perspective of commercial investment, it has almost no value. It is better to use the money from selling Yahoo shares to invest in Internet companies such as Google and Must Die. As for this Gulfstream V, it should be regarded as a Reward yourself for a successful investment.

The secretary contacted him immediately, and Li Lei rested in the hotel for one night, and then went to Beidahuang the next day to check the construction status of the pilot ranch in Northeast China. I have to say that the situation of this ranch is better than that of XJ. It is an old state-owned enterprise. The workers below are much better than the newly recruited workers in terms of discipline and technical level. They also respect experts and are very down-to-earth. When Li Lei came over, the preparations for the ranch had already been carried out Looks good.

Even other ranches took the initiative to send employees to help them build the ranch while earnestly learning how to build a modern ranch. In this way, when the pilot project here is completed and this model is copied to other ranches, they will be able to Getting started quickly.

Hey, what a good worker, why did it become like this?Li Lei couldn't help but feel that the high quality of these workers is in stark contrast to the current mass layoffs, but this is something that can't be helped. After the reform and opening up, China's economic structure has undergone a fundamental shift, and the export-oriented economic model Gained the upper hand, so the southeast coastal provinces developed rapidly, and the corresponding northeastern provinces had difficulty adapting to the development of the times due to the lack of estuaries and climate, so they were slowly left behind. Under such a big environment, those who did not act The leaders and lazy workers are just minor problems, but it is these workers who have paid the biggest price.

"Good job. I just came from XJ. Their progress and quality of work are not as good as here. Although Hunan and Shandong haven't been there yet, judging from the reports they submitted, there are also some gaps between you and yours. If the people on the side are rich, we can support them a little bit! We should not only do our own things well, but also help our brother units to make progress together!" Li Lei praised, although Wang Desheng's ability is a bit weaker, but there is an advantage, that is, The executive ability is in place, the main difference is the vision and the overall situation. With Li Lei watching from the side, he has done some routine work relatively well.

"Our ranch was originally different from those free-range farmers. It has always been industrialized collective labor. It's just that the technology and equipment used before are not so good. Although we need to use new equipment and new technologies now, the principles are the same. Yes, it's not that difficult to learn!" Wang Desheng had a reserved smile on his face, and his heart was finally at the bottom of his mind. He had also heard some news that the top management of COFCO, Huinong, and the Great Northern Wilderness had fully served him. The person in charge of Dashan still has some doubts. Now that he has successfully completed the tasks assigned by the above, the position can be a little more stable, and it is best to stick to it until he retires.

"This is the background of our Great Northern Wilderness. In terms of industrialization and modern agriculture, the Great Northern Wilderness has always been ahead of the whole country!" Li Lei said with emotion. Although XJ and Inner Mongolia also have many large agricultural reclamation groups, but because of history, Due to various reasons such as economy and geographical location, the development of agricultural reclamation groups in these places still cannot keep up with the Great Northern Wilderness.

"Other dairy companies are now spending money on advertising and marketing, but what they do is nothing. If the quality of milk sources cannot be strictly controlled, sooner or later there will be quality problems! So don't look at Yili and Guangming now. Even Dairy companies like Mengniu feel uneasy when they are doing quite a lot of business. We Wandashan are now cultivating our internal strength. As long as we can practice our internal strength well, when we go to compete with them in the future, it will be like an adult beating a child!" Li Lei knew that no one in Wanda Mountain had doubts about his wanton construction of a modern ranch, so he specifically said a few more words. It would be best if they were willing to listen, and if they didn't want to, they would leave.

"We all know this. Why is our Wanda Mountain milk so good? Isn't it because we have been insisting on centralized breeding? Those models where the herdsmen first send it to the milk station and then send it to the factory, the quality of raw milk is better than ours. It's far away!" Fortunately, Wang Desheng and others can still understand Li Lei's approach.

Of course, what's more important is that Huinong's shareholding has brought sufficient funds to Wanda Mountain, allowing them to advertise and develop ranches. If all the money is spent on the ranch, they will definitely not agree, no matter how good the product is. You have to sell it to get the money back.

"The next focus of our work is to solidify our internal skills. Building a ranch is one aspect, production lines are another aspect, and the other is building a team of employees to improve the quality of employees. We will not be able to compete with other dairy companies. Panic!" Li Lei is not in a hurry to fight for the throne of the number one dairy company in the country right now, Guangming and Yili still have solid foundations, but as long as their problems are not resolved, sooner or later they will give Wandashan a chance, and then they will come back It is not too late to expand, and it is better to take a step-by-step approach now.

Wandashan is doing well here, as is the Soybean Research Institute. Now they have completed two very important tasks. First, another group has made progress in breeding research on conventional high-oil soybeans. Li Lei has in mind future generations with high oil and high yield Related information about soybeans, knowing which types of soybeans can be used to breed better products, Lin Weimin and others followed the direction pointed out by Li Leizhi after getting the prompt. After running back and forth in Northeast China and Hainan several times, they finally A breakthrough was achieved.

Oil content is one of the important indicators of soybeans. The oil content of soybeans grown in China is generally between 16-17%, while the soybeans cultivated by Monsanto have an oil content of more than 19%, and some can even reach more than 20%. For one hundred catties of soybeans, Monsanto can squeeze out three or four catties of oil more, which is quite impressive. This is also an important reason why imported soybeans will quickly capture the domestic market in the future.

To solve this problem, you have to breed your own high-oil soybean varieties. Fortunately, the Northeast has abundant wild soybean resources. Monsanto's high-oil soybeans were successfully bred only after finding key genes in the wild soybeans in the Northeast; Lin Weimin and the others also Using this kind of wild soybeans for hybridization, the oil content of the high-oil soybeans finally bred reached 20.18%, and the experimental yield exceeded 200 kg per mu. These two key properties are in the leading position among similar domestic products.

Another job is the application for the plant rights and seed production license of new varieties of saline-alkali-tolerant soybeans. If a new variety of plant is produced in the laboratory, it cannot be sold directly, but must be applied to the relevant department first. Only after obtaining a production license can they be sold to farmers. This is also to protect the interests of farmers. Otherwise, a random company will boast that it has produced high-yield crops, and then farmers will buy them and plant them at home. In the end, there will be no harvest. This will cause a big accident of.

The process of applying for seed production is relatively cumbersome, especially for the main crop seeds. First, you must fill in the application form for a production license, and if it needs to be kept confidential, it should be indicated by the applicant unit or individual; secondly, submit the qualification certificates of seed quality inspection personnel and seed production technicians , registered capital certification materials, list of inspection facilities and equipment, photos and certificates of property rights, introduction to seed drying yards or photos of seed drying equipment and certificates of property rights, photos of seed storage facilities and certificates of property rights, quarantine certificates and introductions to seed production sites and many other information.

The next step is the introduction of the production variety. If the variety is an authorized variety, a written certificate or a variety transfer contract agreed by the owner of the variety right should be provided. If it is a new variety, a new plant variety right certificate must be presented; Agricultural GMO Safety Certificate.

The so-called new plant variety refers to a new plant variety that has been artificially bred or developed from a discovered wild plant, has novelty, specificity, consistency, stability, and has an appropriate name; The authorized variety enjoys the exclusive right, that is, the right to a new plant variety; if it is simply understood, it should be regarded as a patent for seeds.

Like patents, new plant variety rights have a limited number of years. According to relevant national laws and regulations, the protection period of variety rights for vines, forest trees, fruit trees and ornamental trees is 20 years, and other 15 years. The saline-alkaline soybean has a 15-year patent. During this period, if other companies want to produce this soybean seed, they have to pay the patent fee to the research institute.

Only after these materials are submitted for review and approval, there is also a seed production quality assurance system and a seed reservation (or entrusted) production contract. Once these two hurdles are passed, production and sales can begin.

It is difficult for ordinary companies to pass one level after another. Fortunately, Huinong has rich experience in this. Before joining Huinong, Li Denghai had passed the audit many times and obtained the seed production license. It's the same over there, let Denghai Seed Industry send staff who were in charge of the process before, and apply with the materials prepared by Lin Weimin and the others. Production license for saline-alkaline soybeans.

"We have also started the production work. At present, this kind of soybean has been planted in many places in Northeast China and Hainan. After harvesting, it can be handed over to other departments of the company for use!" Lin Weiminhui reported that other seed companies produced it. The seeds have to worry about the sale, but he doesn't need them. Huinong has previously contracted large areas of saline-alkali land in many places in China. Now most of these saline-alkali lands have completed the basic work, and they can start planting as soon as the seeds arrive.

"How to grow this kind of soybeans, you have to give detailed technical guidance, let them come to us to learn, and then take the seeds back to plant after learning!" Li Lei is very clear that whether a crop can be planted well is not only about the seeds Things, planting techniques are just as important as fertilizers, pesticides, etc.

While Lin Weimin and the others were doing soybean breeding work, Jiao Gaoliang was also conducting targeted research. Now he has come up with the most suitable fertilizer ratio for this soybean, and the pesticide research department has also started work ahead of schedule. In addition, the agricultural machinery department, Now the preliminary work for planting salt-alkali-resistant soybeans has basically been completed.

"This newly developed high-oil soybean is also going through the process of new plant variety rights and production licenses. With the experience of last time, this time should be relatively smooth. If it is soon, it will be available for sale next year!" Lin Weimin continued According to the report, he is full of sense of accomplishment now, and compared with the classmates who graduated in the same period, he has already walked ahead.

Naturally, such an excellent team should be commended. Li Lei bought a piece of land in the local urban area and asked people from the real estate department of the company to come and take charge of the construction. High bonuses and other rewards, and more importantly, these researchers can also get seed sales dividends. Every time a batch of seeds are sold, they can get a part of it. If they sell more, this figure is very, very It is impressive that anyone who can develop a killer like hybrid rice can easily achieve financial freedom. Lin Weimin and others have known this for a long time, but they were still very excited when they heard Li Lei talking about it.

Li Lei is also very clear that money is of course important to these scientific research staff, but it is not the only one, so he prepared another surprise for them, "I will let the people in the company help you prepare application materials, first apply for provincial The scientific and technological progress award in the province and the provincial award are operated with the help of the company, and you can definitely win it without any accidents; then try to apply for the relevant national award! After you get the award, you can take time to go back to your alma mater and taste it It feels like returning to school! Maybe you can also get an honorary doctorate and a visiting professor!"

"Then I'll just wait for this day!" Lin Weimin couldn't close his mouth with a smile. As a scientific researcher, it is his greatest wish to show off in front of his peers. Now that such an opportunity is in front of him, how could he not Excited?And with the example of He Zhanhai, they all believed that Li Lei could do this.

Li Lei still has some things to say. The timing is not right now. In a few years, the State Key Laboratory and even the academicians of the two academies can help them win.

"Keep working hard, Monsanto's speed is not slow, and we can't be left behind!" Hey, the time for the soybean war to start is getting closer, and Li Lei also feels that time is running out.
