"Forget it. Although the government's finances are a little better than before, there are also many more places to spend money than before. There is really no need to spend so much money on a special plane.
Just use the airline's passenger plane as a temporary guest on the trip, which can also help Star Express Company promote their aircraft. "The counselor said.
Zhao has long considered this situation. In any case, a plane worth 1 billion yuan is really a bit of a luxury. Even if the government is willing to purchase it, it will still have to bear huge pressure from public opinion.
Moreover, this kind of specially customized passenger plane is no different from ordinary passenger planes in appearance. People who don't know the truth think that there is something fishy inside when they see the government spending so much money to purchase it.
Therefore, Zhao Yi still prefers to let the government rent the aircraft from Chenghui Aircraft Leasing Company, which will cost much less and can also replace the aircraft with newer technology at any time.
"Since the government feels that the cost is too high, it is better to rent this aircraft from Chenghui Aircraft Leasing Company. In this way, the annual cost will be very small. Moreover, this is also the government's help in promoting Star Express Company, which is considered to be offset by the rental and publicity expenses. .
In this way, the government can obtain the right to use this aircraft without spending a penny. If the latest model of aircraft is available in the future, this method can also be used, and the government can also obtain the latest model of special aircraft for free. " Zhao Yi said.
Hearing what Zhao Yi said, everyone here was a little confused. Not to mention, this is actually equivalent to Chenghui Aircraft Leasing Company leasing aircraft to the government for free, so that the government will not be questioned too much.
"That won't work. It's our government's duty to help domestic companies promote their products. How can we still need publicity fees? There's no such thing." The counselor shook his head and rejected Zhao Yi's statement.
Now that the counselor has said this, there is no need for Zhao Yi to keep saying it. Instead, it seems to have an ulterior purpose, so he just slapped it and exposed the matter.
Since the goal was not achieved, Zhao Yi was not too frustrated. Anyway, it was just a try before. There was no big loss if the goal was not achieved.
The government will still use aircraft owned by Star Express Company for future visits, and the propaganda purpose can still be achieved.
Not long after everyone ended these topics, the plane arrived over Zhengzhou. The whole journey took about 40 minutes, reducing the normal flight time by almost half.
The plane landed at Zhengzhou Xinzheng Airport. This airport was also built jointly by Qingyang Airport Company and the Zhengzhou Municipal Government. It was built not long ago as a Henan aviation hub, so it was built according to first-class standards.
After getting off the plane, Li Jianguo, the person in charge of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, came to pick him up personally. The level of this inspection group was too high. If only one regional person in charge was arranged to come, it would be unfair and would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
In addition to the relevant personnel of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company led by Li Jianguo to pick up the plane, relevant leaders of the Henan Provincial Government and Zhengzhou Municipal Government also came to pick up the plane. These are all as expected.
Moreover, this cooperation method of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company is the first of its kind in my country. It can be said to be the first of its kind for private capital to participate in the domestic agricultural modernization construction on a large scale.
However, the relevant policies and laws in the country are not sound. Whether it can be recognized by the central government is particularly important, and it is also the theoretical basis for whether it can continue.
As a major agricultural province, Henan attaches great importance to this cooperation. The current level of industrialization in Henan is incomparable to that of coastal open areas, and there are also bottlenecks in transportation. It is impossible to take the lead in rising from the industrial side. of.
Therefore, they put their hopes for the province's economic development in this cooperation with Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. They often visit the cooperation demonstration site and know the real situation inside very well.
It is precisely because they understand the real situation inside that they are very confident in this kind of cooperation, because this is no longer traditional agriculture, and the technical content is no less than that of industrial industries.
If relevant cooperation is carried out throughout Henan, Henan will transform from a backward agricultural province into a modern and advanced agricultural production province in a short period of time, and the GDP created by agriculture will be no less than that of the industrial industry.
It is this kind of cooperation that is very important to Henan's economy. Therefore, both the province and the city attach great importance to this central inspection, and it is also an important node in whether their economy can take off.
Compared with the officials of the Henan Provincial Government and the Zhengzhou Municipal Government, Zhao Yi seems to have a calmer mentality. He also knows that this cooperation is very important for both the country and himself.
Vigorously developing domestic modern agriculture is an important part of Zhao Yi's domestic economic layout, but it is also an important basis for maintaining stable domestic exchange rates and stable purchasing power.
But it is not something that must be done. If this thing is done well, it will be of greater benefit to the country. It will not only solve the difficult problem of domestic rural economic development in one fell swoop, but also make the foundation of domestic economic development stronger.
The primary industry is the foundation for the development of the secondary industry. Many industrial raw materials come from the supply of the primary industry. Therefore, the stability of product prices in the primary industry is crucial to the development of the secondary industry.
Moreover, as the income of domestic people increases, their desire to consume agricultural products will definitely become stronger. If the price of agricultural products rises sharply, people will need to use most of their income to invest in this area, which will indirectly increase residents' living costs.
As the cost of living increases, the consumption of industrial products will decrease. At the same time, in order to offset the increase in the cost of living, their wages also need to increase accordingly, resulting in an increase in the cost of industrial products.
This will increase the cost of the development of the tertiary industry. In this way, it is commonly known as inflation, which is not conducive to the stability of the current exchange rate and the stability of the purchasing power of the RMB.
When his status reaches the level of Zhao Yi, he considers the overall situation when considering problems. He will not just focus on one point and look at his industrial layout. The primary, secondary and tertiary industries are all involved, and they all invest heavily in development.
If a solid foundation is laid in all three industries, his goal of expanding domestic demand will be realized naturally. By then, we will not be as dependent on foreign markets as we are now.
As long as the dependence on foreign markets is reduced, some international frictions will not have such a big impact on the development of the domestic economy. It will be considered a small setback at most and will not affect the overall domestic economic development situation.
This is Zhao Yi's most ideal economic development model, and it is also the direction that Zhao Yi has been working hard for. Isn't it just for this purpose that he has been busy for so many years
But if it really doesn't develop as he expected, Zhao Yi will certainly suffer certain losses, but it won't be a devastating blow to him. It will just prolong the realization time for a while.
With his current capital strength and golden fingers, occasional setbacks will not change the fundamental goal, it will just take a little more time. He has such confidence.
After waiting for everyone to finish greetings, Zhao Yi and his group took a vehicle directly towards the agricultural cooperation demonstration site of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. No one had any intention of staying in Zhengzhou city.
After more than an hour's drive, the convoy finally arrived at the agricultural cooperation demonstration site. Through the car window, Zhao Yi saw the invisible greenhouse area in the distance, where crops were grown.
The convoy came to a nearby village and stopped. This was the first place they visited this time. The local people looked at their convoy curiously.
They were just informed that the central government would send an inspection team to inspect today. They did not know the specific information. When they looked at the counselor who got off the car, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Since television is not such a rare item nowadays, many people have seen the counselor on TV, so when they saw the counselor get out of the car, it was hard to imagine whether the scene would be lively or not.
Zhao Yi didn't join in the fun. After getting off the car, he walked quietly to the edge of the crowd, pulled over an employee of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, and walked around the entire village.
He wanted to see whether the construction of this agricultural cooperation demonstration site would promote the economic development of this village and town, and whether it would improve the living standards of local people. This was his first concern.
Looking at the farmhouses in front of him, most of them were still adobe houses as he had seen in other places. This could not be changed in such a short period of time.
All in all, the construction time of this demonstration site is only a few months. Even if farmers make money, they cannot renovate their houses in such a short period of time.
So his focus was to see the mental outlook of the villagers, which was the most real. The young people had all gone to see the central inspection team. Zhao Yi only saw some old people with inconvenient legs and feet in the village. Are they still walking steadily? road child.
When the old man saw Zhao Yi strolling around, his eyes no longer had the vigilant look Zhao Yi had seen before, but instead had a kind look in his eyes. The smile on his face was much brighter than when he visited the countryside a few years ago.
Looking at the child in the cradle, Zhao Yi teased him with all his heart, and listening to his giggles, Zhao Yi suddenly felt a power. This was the power of life, something Zhao Yi had never felt before. of.
"Old man, why are there so few children in the village?" Zhao Yi asked the old man.
"In the past, we would have seen many children. Now that the national policies are good, our income is much more than before.
So now we are all going to school, and school will not be over until after dinner. "After the old man finished speaking, the smile on his face was not concealed at all. Obviously, he was very satisfied with his current life.
"What do you think of these agricultural cooperations?" Zhao Yi asked.
Although the news Zhao Yi heard from Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company was all good news, he didn't know what it was actually like, so he wanted to know what the locals thought of this cooperation.
After all, they had just divided the land and had not cultivated it for a few years. It had been merged back into the village. If there was no emotion, Zhao Yi would not believe it. The benefits obtained were suddenly gone. It would be strange to have no emotion. .
"You don't know. At the beginning, when I heard that the land was going to be merged back, there was a big disturbance and some people were injured." After the old man finished speaking, there was still a frightened expression on his face.
"What happened next?" Zhao Yi asked.
"Later, people from the city came, and there were companies like that."
"Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company."
"That's right, it's them. They and the city government came down and sent the injured people directly to the hospital for free treatment. At the same time, they also told us the relevant cooperation policies, and we stopped making trouble."
"Oh, what did they say?"
"I can't remember the details. I just said that I will be paid 150 yuan a month for working in the future, and I only need to work for 8 hours. It is much easier than working in the fields now, and the wages I receive are also higher than before. The more you work, the more you gain.”
"Did you mention that we will ask you to pay social security, such as medical insurance and pension insurance, etc." Zhao Yi asked.
"I don't remember this. It seems that there is some kind of insurance. I don't remember the details. We don't understand this insurance." The old man said awkwardly.
"Oh, thank you. I'll go somewhere else and you can rest slowly." Zhao Yi said goodbye to the old man.
Originally, he wanted to go to rural schools to visit, but now China Education Company has not officially accepted domestic education, and government units are still in charge.
Listening to the old man's story, it is obvious that the government has begun to consciously ask people to send all school-age children to school. This is to prepare for the full takeover by Chinese education companies.
In other words, the country has now begun to implement free compulsory education. This year's free education, but there is no Chinese education company to cover it, and the government needs to allocate real funds from the government to support it.
It's just been a while since he came out, and the meeting over there should be almost over. He needs to follow the leader to inspect the farming area.
After returning, Zhao Yi saw that the crowd had not completely dispersed, but it was obvious that the previous meeting was over.
Seeing Zhao coming over, the senior advisor quickly called him over. Since some roads had not yet been hardened, there was no way to drive over, so the group of people walked towards the farming area.
After a 20-minute journey, everyone arrived at the farming area. When they arrived, they felt as if they were in a sea of huge factory buildings, and all they could see were tall modern farm sheds.
The counselor approached a farm shed and carefully identified the materials used outside.
After Li Jianguo saw it, he quickly explained: "This is not a plastic shed. It uses the latest materials. Its hardness is comparable to glass, but its toughness is much higher. Even if it snows heavily, it will not crush the farm shed.
Moreover, this material also has a unique characteristic, that is, it has built-in conductive threads. After electricity is applied, the color of the material will change, and different transparency and colors will be displayed depending on the intensity of electricity.
The advantage of this is that it can keep crops under a stable light intensity, which is conducive to improving crop growth efficiency and product quality. "
Hearing what Li Jianguo said, the senior advisor was quite surprised. This material was actually a high-tech product. According to Li Jianguo, it was very suitable for building agricultural greenhouses.
"Then this material is not cheap, right?" asked the counselor.
"The cost of this material for this 10,000-square-meter greenhouse is 200,000 yuan. Plus other modern facilities, the total cost is 500,000 yuan," Li Jianguo said.
After hearing Li Jianguo's words, Zizheng calculated in his mind that the construction cost was equivalent to 50 yuan per square meter. This cost was not cheap and ordinary farmers could not afford it.
"This is not cheap. How long will it take to recover the cost?"
“The specifics will be determined based on market conditions, but after rough calculations, it will take five years to recover the cost.
However, as more such farm sheds are built, the overall cost will drop a lot. "
After hearing what Li Jianguo said, the senior advisor nodded. As the scale of any industrial product increases, the cost will gradually decrease.
No longer entangled in this topic, everyone came to the farm shed, and the space was instantly filled with green. The greenhouse grew very common Chinese cabbage.
It's just that it's obviously different from the previous planting method. It's divided into five upper and lower layers, and it uses hydroponic technology instead of soil.
The area of each tank is about 10 square meters. The Chinese cabbage is grown on the support. Only the roots are soaked in the nutrient solution. There are several pipes connected to each tank.
"What do these tubes do?" asked the counselor.
“These pipes are used to transport nutrients, like this pipe, which is used to transport clean water, and this pipe is used to transport trace elements, and this pipe is used to transport various fertilizer liquids such as potassium fertilizer.
The reason why we use so many tubes is because we can more carefully prepare the nutrients of the culture solution so that the nutrients needed by the vegetables are always in a reasonable period.
And these are fully automated. There is a sensor in each of our water tanks, which can sense the various nutrients in the nutrient solution in real time.
If a certain nutrient is missing, the central control system will automatically make relevant adjustments and inject an appropriate dose of the relevant nutrient into the water tank. "Li Jianguo said.
"Then such an agricultural factory won't need many farmers, right?" the counselor asked.
This agricultural factory is so advanced that even senior officials are worried that it will take away farmers' jobs. This is not unfounded worry. In fact, this problem will cause big problems, so we have to be cautious.
“Although our agricultural factory is highly automated, its production efficiency is 10 times that of the original production method. Just harvesting these vegetables is enough to provide employment for the original farmers.
Although the degree of automation is high, workers are also needed to transport and distribute these raw materials, which will also create jobs. "
“With so many agricultural products on the market, will prices be driven down so low that farmers farming naturally in other places will be unprofitable or even operating at a loss?”
"This will definitely happen. If we still sell it at the original price, we will simply not be able to digest so many products. Selling at reduced prices is inevitable, and it will definitely have an impact on other farmers who farm naturally."
"Then what solutions do you have to avoid this problem from happening?" The counselor turned around and asked Zhao Yi.
"We have several solutions. One is to expand market sales. At present, our production costs are still slightly high. After all, the initial fixed investment is not a small amount, so in order to obtain greater benefits, we will focus on exports in the short term.
In this way, the output put into the domestic market will not be too much, and it will not have a big impact on natural farmers. However, as the scale of planting expands, it will still have a great impact on them in the future.
The second is to try to incorporate farmers into this cooperation system, turn natural farmers into workers, and give them wages so that they can have a guaranteed life.
The cooperation here is based on this model. The benefits they receive are much higher than before, and the wage level is not lower than that of urban workers.
The third is to develop the agricultural product processing industry. In this regard, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company cooperates with Baiwei Food Company to sell agricultural products to Baiwei Food Company and let them process them into various foods, which are then exported or sold domestically.
This can not only extend the industrial chain and arrange for some farmers to work in the food processing field, but also increase the added value of products and avoid homogeneous competition in end products.
The fourth is to develop new agricultural products, such as the new sweetener developed by Qingnong Biological Laboratory entrusted by Baiwei Food Company. This is a plant sweetener product that is different from sugar and reduces the harm caused by sugar products to human health. .
The market size of such sweeteners will definitely be much larger than that of sugar in the future. Some people who like sweet foods and are afraid of getting fat will definitely choose such products.
In addition to edible agricultural products, industrial agricultural products can also be grown, such as improved fiber crops that can provide better natural fiber products than cotton.
In short, we can increase the scale of agricultural output value and market size by extending the industrial chain and adding technological products, and try to accommodate as many farmers as possible for local employment.
But even so, if we want to rely on agriculture to feed more than 800 million farmers, it will only solve the problem of food and clothing. If we want to be as wealthy as the cities, we still need to divert most of the farmers to the industry and service industries. " Zhao Yi said.
After listening to Zhao Yi's words, the counselor nodded. Even though he approved of his arrangement, he also agreed with his last words. It is unrealistic to rely on agriculture to make more than 800 million people rich.
If we want to accommodate so many people, we still need to work hard to develop industry and service industries to reduce the number of people engaged in agricultural production.
Afterwards, Li Jianguo led the inspection group to watch the planting conditions of other farm sheds. Each farm shed basically grows one kind of agricultural product, which facilitates unified management.
Especially when the delegation entered the watermelon-growing farm shed, they saw with their own eyes how the farm shed adjusts the illumination of the plants inside by changing its color.
Because if watermelon wants to be sweet and delicious, it must have a large temperature difference. This farm shed achieves this goal by changing the light transmittance of the farm shed shell. The problem is that these operations do not require manual intervention and are all intelligent. .
In another watermelon shed, the inspection team finally saw a large group of farmers busy harvesting watermelons. Judging from the watermelons they picked, they were very consistent in appearance and size.
Now that the weather is hot, Zhao Yi asked farmers to help cut a lot of watermelons and let everyone taste the taste of this high-tech watermelon.
Judging from the appearance of more than a dozen watermelons after cutting them, there was no obvious difference. After everyone ate them, they found that the watermelons were crisp and delicious. They were the best watermelons they had ever eaten.
With such a taste and perfect quality control, they are more confident in the export of agricultural products that Zhao Yi mentioned before. Exporting such a good product is definitely not a problem.
After everyone had finished eating, they found a place to rest so as not to disturb the farmers and continue their work.
Looking at the farm sheds everywhere, the counselor sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that modern agriculture is produced like this. According to this model, crops can be grown in cities in the future."
"Theoretically, it is possible, but the space required for this method is still quite large. Urban land prices are not cheap, and the cost of settlement is high. It will be impossible in a short time." Zhao Yi said.
"Then, how do you solve the sales problem with so many farm sheds? Aren't you afraid of overproduction?" asked the counselor.
“Each of our farm sheds collects relevant data, such as types of agricultural products, product quality levels, quantity of agricultural products, weight of individual agricultural products, etc., and then uploads them to the backend server of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.
In the future, the production status of farm sheds across the country can be summarized in the backend, and it can also be connected with the relevant systems of partners to understand the sales of these products in real time.
Then according to the sales situation, the planting plan will be adjusted in real time.
If it were ordinary natural planting, it would certainly not be possible to adjust production so quickly. However, because our production efficiency is higher and we are not greatly affected by weather and climate, we can quickly adapt to the market rhythm.
Not only that, we have a set of specialized market simulation software that can predict the demand for various agricultural products in the next year based on the previous year's economic development, industrial structure, sales of related agricultural products and social preferences.
Then Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company can reasonably arrange agricultural production for the next year based on this forecast report. Even if there are occasional errors, it will not deviate too much and can be adjusted in time.
Through such a supply and marketing system, it can be ensured that my country's agricultural products as a whole will remain relatively stable, and there will be no sharp rises or falls in the price of a certain product.
At the same time, the export of products can be reasonably arranged, so that the price of export products will not drop sharply due to too many products, nor will the price of export products rise sharply due to sudden strong demand.
This is very conducive to the international trade of agricultural products, and international trading merchants are also willing to cooperate with us.
After all, such market expectations are very important to international traders and can ensure that their profits are relatively stable. " Zhao Yi said.
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, they nodded. With this set of rules, all data from the fields to the sales terminal can be mastered in real time. This is what modern agriculture should be like.
After inspecting crop planting, Li Jianguo took them to the livestock breeding base. There were not many types of livestock here, mainly the common chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs.
Since Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has been engaged in animal husbandry before, it is more comfortable in this aspect of work. Looking at the rows of animal husbandry factories, everyone seems to have entered a large industrial base.
There are not only factories for raising livestock, but also many supporting industrial factories, such as manure treatment plants, which process livestock manure with zero pollution and obtain biogas and organic fertilizers.
Since most crops here are cultivated without soil, organic fertilizers alone are not enough. Organic fertilizers also need to be further processed and produced into various simple nutrients to facilitate more precise control of crops.
When everyone visited the organic fertilizer separation factory, they were really shocked. The entire factory was basically completed automatically by machines, and there were not many manual positions. It was completely operated in the same way as a biopharmaceutical production factory.
What goes in is organic fertilizer, and what comes out is various nutrients. The site will not feel like you are dealing with dirty and messy livestock manure.
There are also many other supporting factories. The entire base gives people the feeling of a large modern industrial zone. There is no common odor and mess, and the factory area is clean.
Due to the improvement of technology, the entire animal husbandry base is much more advanced and cleaner than the Mu Us Animal Husbandry Base that Zhao Yi took the old man and the first assistant to inspect before.
Moreover, the livestock inside have been improved by Qingnong Biological Laboratory, with the primary goal of improving the taste and nutritional content of the meat, while taking into account the livestock feeding cycle and striving to achieve a balance between the two.
Of course, these products are sold as general products, so in terms of taste and nutritional value, there is still a certain gap between them and the mutton and beef of Mu Us Ranch.
This is what Zhao Yi deliberately asked Qingnong Biological Laboratory to do, otherwise it would cause serious conflict with Mu Us's high-end meat products and undermine the current market planning of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.
Moreover, the livestock base here will also have different varieties according to the purpose of using the livestock. For example, chickens for laying eggs, chickens for cooking, and chickens for making soup are not the same breed.
After visiting the entire animal husbandry base, the inspection team also visited the Baiwei Food Processing Base built nearby. This is to reduce the cost of obtaining raw materials, so Baiwei Food Company built its production base next to it.
The processing base of Baiwei Food Company here mainly processes agricultural products and meat products, such as ham sausages, sausages, watermelon juice drinks, and ready-to-eat salads.
The processing base built by Baiwei Food Company here is actually not very big, because the number of raw materials provided here is still very limited. It was only built here to cooperate with Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.
If you want to expand the scale of Baiwei Food Company's processing base, you must expand the scale of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company's planting base and livestock base.
After the inspection team inspected the processing base of Baiwei Food Company, the concerns that modern agriculture would cause a large number of farmers to lose their jobs were greatly reduced.
Although it will reduce the number of farmers directly involved in agricultural production, it will provide more industrial processing jobs. Generally speaking, it will not have much impact, but will increase farmers' income levels.
For example, the wages provided by such a remote production base are no less than those of urban workers. There is basically no difference between the two.
If we continue to expand the livestock base and food processing base here, a modern town will be formed here. As the number of industrial employees increases, the number of people in related service industries will also increase, and the number of employed people may increase a lot.
When the lanterns first came on, everyone ended their inspection trip. (End of chapter)
