Chapter 225 Going Out

More than ten years ago, there was a wave of building biogas digesters in rural areas. This model, which is theoretically very economical, has many benefits, is environmentally friendly, pollution-free, and has strong sustainable development capabilities, has been vigorously promoted.

Under the most ideal circumstances, a biogas digester with a volume of six square meters, and the feces of four or five pigs are put in every day, can produce enough biogas to meet the daily needs of a family of four.

At first glance, it seems to be a good deal. In an era when the local method of firing briquettes is profitable, the biogas digester is undoubtedly very attractive.

However, in just a few years, the popular biogas digester project was abandoned by the majority of residents.

The development of the times, the popularization of electricity, the emergence of high-quality, cheap and more stable natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas are one of the important factors, but not all.

Theory is theory. There are many factors that affect biogas fermentation. The temperature directly affects the rate of biogas production. The south is warm and humid, the north is cold, the summer is hot and humid, and the winter is dry and cold. Even the miscellaneous materials put into the biogas digester will produce huge Impact.

In the northern land, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, dripping water turns into ice, and the activity of microorganisms is greatly restricted. When the majority of rural residents need laundry, cooking, heating and lighting, the biogas digesters cannot produce much biogas for several days in a row, so they will be abandoned of course. .

In addition, each family has limited livestock, and the raw materials that can be used to produce biogas are not very sufficient. As a result, the biogas digesters, which look very beautiful, are too unstable and have caused complaints from users.

In fact, it is not suitable for small households, individual breeding and remote rural areas, but it is of some value to medium and large farms.What's more, the second aunt's family still has a farm, and the demand for fertilizer is almost endless.

As far as the eye can see, there are several large-scale biogas digesters at work. The biogas in the gas storage tanks is used as a supplement to electricity, saving a lot of expenses. It can heat livestock in winter, drive machinery, and provide heating for farm and ranch workers.

In addition, biogas slurry and biogas residue are excellent fertilizers.Among them, biogas slurry is a water-soluble liquid fertilizer containing a large amount of inorganic salts, which is very easy for crops to absorb. It can also be used as a foliar fertilizer to kill insects and inhibit bacteria, reduce the use of pesticides, and eliminate pesticide residues.

Biogas residue is a super-efficient sterile organic fertilizer. It is very good whether used as base fertilizer or top dressing. With long-term use, it can improve the soil structure, fertilize the soil, and enhance the soil's ability to retain water and fertilizer.

"It's just for biogas, so it's not as cost-effective to build a biogas digester as using natural gas; just for retting, it's really not as cheap as spending money to buy chemical fertilizer. But if you do both, you'll make a profit."

Zhang Yunying led the three of them through the farm and pasture, chatting eloquently. Usually, his cousin seemed a little dull, but he still talked a lot in the field he was good at.

"In the words of experts, although our farm and ranch may not look particularly big, it has actually crossed the profit and loss line of scale, economy, efficiency and technology conversion rate. The scale is not enough, the input and output cannot be calculated, and the industrial chain is not enough. Perfect, the intermediate by-products cannot be fully utilized, and the technology is not up to standard, so we cannot fully control all intermediate links and improve efficiency.”

Hearing this, Jin Shang also understood a little bit.

"Just like a simple farm or a simple pasture, it is not worthwhile to build high-tech biogas digesters and compost. It is better to use natural gas and soil fertilization."

"This is the truth. Technology has a cost. If the conditions are not suitable, not only will it not be able to promote, but it will also be delayed. But this does not mean that the technology is not practical, it is just not suitable for some people. In fact, until Four years ago, our farm and ranch barely figured out a model that suited us and formed a preliminary technology output cycle."

A few simple words can hardly conceal how much manpower and material resources have been invested by the second uncle Zhang Hua and the second aunt Jin Lanyun in order to persevere over the years.

"It is precisely because of this that our 'Northland Spring' brand can barely gain popularity. The concept of green ecology is still true. It is also good to get better quality products at a relatively lower cost and sell them at a higher price. Of course.”

"Indeed, no one's success comes from strong winds..."

Looking at the long trapezoidal black-brown earth mounds not far away that were like roadbeds, several meters high and more than ten meters wide, Zhang Yunying pointed at a huge machine similar to a gantry crane, which was still pouring water or other solutions into the mounds. , explained:

"That is to use biogas residue as the main material, mixed with semi-decomposed straw, dead branches and leaves, etc., and then add some catalysts. In a short time, it can be used as a 'black gold' to improve soil and enhance fertility."

"Can this method cultivate real humus?"

"It shouldn't be much different. Using the soil prepared in this way as the base, supplemented by a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer, the output will be much higher than that of the surrounding land that does not use this method. It is not much worse than the real black soil, although the flowers It took a lot of manpower and material resources, but overall, we still made a lot of money.”

That's hard.

The scale of farms and pastures has increased. Scientific breeding, intensive farming, and increasing per-acre yield are top priorities. Fertile black soil is not often found, but land is everywhere. Chinese people are really serious about farming. .

The slightly fishy smell was caused by the water vapor blown by the breeze, mixed with the smell of fermentation residue. Jin Shang, Qi Zhaoyun and Wei Shuangping frowned slightly, but Zhang Yunying was more used to it, so he smiled without changing his face:
"These are all signs of a good harvest next year. These humus soil culture media will be the confidence for my family to switch to soybeans next year. Soybeans have high yields and higher economic value, but the requirements for soil are not low. If there is not enough To improve fertility, we must apply a large amount of fertilizer. If we really do this, we will be working for a seed pesticide and fertilizer manufacturer, working in vain, which is not what my family wants."

"Preparation is good."

Jin Shang also echoed with great relief.

Changing to soybean cultivation was really not the result of an impulsive decision made by the second aunt's family, but a decision that was made after several years of consideration.

"Farming and raising cattle, I am a layman, how to operate it depends on your ability, cousin. No matter how much agricultural and sideline products are of high quality and low price, I am sure to sell them for you..."

"I know, my parents also warned me. I only think of other people's talk as bragging. I still know your abilities, but I don't have the confidence to say such things."

"Strive to become bigger and stronger as soon as possible and create greater glory."

"it's the same."

Zhang Yunying stretched out his fist, touched Jin Shang, and smiled knowingly,
"By the way, when things here are settled, I plan to open a dairy farm in the outer suburbs of the capital, or in the cities surrounding Gyeonggi Province, and build a winery nearby. The northern land is rich in products, but it is still too cold, like wine. For this kind of business, if you want to scale up, it's better to go south. More importantly, if you want to build a reputation among the people in the capital, it's still a bit restrictive not to set up a local branch."

"Um……"

After thinking for a while, Jin Shang also agreed with this statement,

"It is indeed necessary. If in the future, the capital develops into a super city with a population of more than 2000 million, plus the surrounding areas, there are hundreds of millions of people in the Gyeonggi area, radiating around the Bohai Sea, and the market is also very large. We really need a factory to lay out. It is still far away from the capital. It’s too far…”

Going out is the general trend. If you don’t see the outside world and experience more ups and downs, but stay by the Hulun Lake, your future achievements will be very limited.

It's a good thing to have a slightly ambitious cousin.The current strength of Glacier Trading is worthy of the scale of Jinxi Mall, but in a few years, it will be hard to say. If the second aunt's family stops moving forward and is left behind in the future, it will be no wonder.

It's just... "It's not easy to live in the capital. It's even harder to build a family business there. My cousin will lay a solid foundation here first, and then I will come back when I have stronger strength..."

"There's no rush. Pay attention first. If there's something suitable, we can talk slowly."

"it is good."

He is a partner and a close relative. Having a strong partner will give him more confidence in the future. This is probably why Mei Yingnian helped the Jin family and his son when they were still relatively weak.

In a shopping mall filled with materialistic desires, it is not easy to find a truly trustworthy ally. This is why various hometown associations and industry alliances are prevalent.

But no matter which kind, they are not as close as those of the same clan and in-laws.If you can't even get along with your own relatives, why should others believe that you are a person who keeps your promises, is loyal, and is generous?

For most of the day, Zhang Yunying led Jin Shang and others around the area.

Jin Shang, who originally didn't know much about this industry, almost understood the strength of his second aunt's family.The scale on the surface is already impressive. What’s even more rare is that this farm has developed a set of effective high-tech recycling production methods, and the industry-university-research cooperation with local agricultural universities and research institutes is also very good. Happy is a very powerful local company.

The best thing is that uncle Zhang Hua and aunt Jin Lanyun each have their own strengths, and building this business is enough to prove their talents.The eldest son, Zhang Yunying, doesn't seem to have many bright spots, but he has a lot of talent.In such a traditional industry, it is obviously more suitable for a doer like this who is calm and focused on doing practical things, taking one step at a time and knowing three steps at a critical moment, and knowing how to make choices.

If his cousin was full of boasts, nonsense, and nonsense, Jin Shang's evaluation of their family would undoubtedly drop a lot.

The Zhang brothers and sisters are not very good at reading, but their conduct in life is really not bad. Their parents' precepts and deeds are excellent.
-
In the afternoon, Jin Shang and others took a quick look at the sites of the other four partners. They were basically consistent with the information, and there were no major discrepancies. As for the details, I won’t go into details. I just vouched for them with my aunt’s family. I believe it. Something big went wrong.

In the evening, I went to a nearby farm and ate some delicacies. After trying them, I declined the suggestion to go to a nearby club for fun.

After the three returned to the hotel, they sorted out the information and looked through the photos taken with the camera today to see if there was anything that needed attention.

Qi Zhaoyun compiled the materials on the phone into a book and handed it to Wei Shuangping. After confirming that it was correct, he smiled and asked Jin Shang who was passing the time:

"Mr. Jin is not going to live with relatives?"

"How can I nag every day? My aunt's house is actually very busy. I went there and added a lot of burden to them. I am not in a hurry to contact each other for a while. There will be many opportunities in the future. Now, work is more important..."

"Actually, the main goal of this inspection has been completed today. What's left is to see if there are any omissions, and... go to the local agricultural cooperative to find out how the 'Beidacang' is doing. "

Wei Shuangping packed up her things and took over Qi Zhaoyun's words:
"Really speaking, we are also in a competitive relationship with them, and they actually agreed to let us visit..."

Jin Shang responded nonchalantly:

"We are all peers, and it is not an unrelenting hostility. The e-commerce market is huge and can accommodate a competitor in a niche field. However, I guess their real thoughts are not like this, but that we are not enough. consider."

The arrogance of dominant players in traditional industries is just like the arrogance of hypermarkets such as Gome in the previous life. They did not believe that e-commerce would actually push themselves to the point of bankruptcy.I didn't pay attention to it at first, but by the time I realized something was wrong and stepped out to "fight in the ring" in person, it was already too late.

This "Beidacang" e-commerce website seems to specialize in bulk wholesale business of grains, oils and non-staple food, while Jinxi Mall does a little bit of everything. The bulk of the current sales is actually group purchases, and the products are all kinds of, including rice and noodles. Although the shipment volume of grain and oil is large, the absolute amount is not exaggerated.

The former is like a grain and oil store, and the latter is a grocery store. There is competition between the two, but the conflict is not intense.

The three of them chatted for a while. The weather seemed to be good tonight, not too windy, and quite comfortable.

"Would you like to go out for a walk?"

"The two of us went yesterday."

"Eh?"

"I also bought some souvenirs in the nearby tourist shopping area."

As he spoke, Wei Shuangping took out two souvenirs from his bag. Jin Shang looked at them and lost interest.

"This kind of... is just for fun, I'll take you to a nearby shop where locals eat late at night to have a look..."

"This is probably the first time for Mr. Jin to come here. How do you understand him so clearly?"

"My cousin is a local aboriginal. He knows which stalls are delicious and which ones are not worthy of their reputation."

"Then... let's do it."

Wei Shuangping and Qi Zhaoyun looked at each other and agreed.

I am usually very busy at work and rarely go out once in a while. It seems a bit of a loss if I don’t experience the real local customs when I have time.

Jin Shang, who was talking as he walked, seemed to think of something again.

"By the way, I feel that this kind of gourmet store exploration is quite promising. Li Xuan's small troubles in western Beijing can create a lot of momentum in newspapers and on the Internet, and the attention is quite high. Should we do one? Put on a food store exploration program, and cooperate with the comprehensive channel, maybe the ratings will be high."

Qi Zhaoyun smiled:
"Mr. Jin has a restless personality. When inspiration comes, he wants to do it immediately. However, our company is currently promoting too many projects, and I guess he is too busy."

"Think first if it can be done, and then we'll talk about it. Don't be in a hurry."
