In addition to already relatively mature companies, Zhao Yi's companies have accelerated their expansion plans since this year. The overall investment scale is far greater than in previous years, which will inevitably push his debt ratio further upward.
In addition to the aforementioned China Housing Company and Xinhui Energy Company, whose investment scales all started with one trillion yuan, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company is not bad at all, with an investment scale approaching one trillion yuan.
With the development of large-scale investment, there will be very little surplus labor force in rural areas. Compared with industry, the profit rate of agriculture is too low. Even those who have enough fields to cultivate in rural areas will be attracted by high wages. Work in the city.
By then, the hollowing out of rural areas will be inevitable, and agricultural production will definitely be greatly affected. Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company needs to make up for these lost agricultural production capacities.
Therefore, starting from this year, they need to build a large number of modern agricultural facilities to fully prepare for the upcoming wave of agricultural population migration and ensure the stable development of my country's agricultural product supply.
Previously, the profits of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company were basically handed over to Zhao Yi for the construction of domestic highways. The expenditure of this money is essential.
However, the money previously provided to China Housing Corporation will be kept in their hands this year to expand modern agricultural production and develop our country's primary industry.
Of course, this does not mean that the funds in the hands of Chinese housing companies will decrease, because new profits will flow into their hands, such as Yadai Company and China Pharmaceutical Company.
There is no need to say more about the output value of Yade Company here. According to the current development situation, it is basically a certainty that the operating income will reach 500 billion yuan this year, and the funds that can flow into the hands of China Housing Corporation will reach 300 billion yuan, which is not too big. The problem.
Yadai Company's profit margin is really too high. In addition to paying taxes and fees, their other costs are actually very low, including some factory investment and employee salary expenditures. These expenditures account for a very small proportion.
Similar to the situation of Yadai Company, there are Chinese pharmaceutical companies. Their annual operating income has reached over one trillion yuan and is still increasing.
The drugs they have been applying to for weight loss drugs, fat-enhancing drugs, hair growth hormones and other drugs from various countries have been successively approved by the relevant departments of the countries where they applied, and have begun to circulate on a large scale internationally.
These drugs may not look like much, but in fact the scale of the industry is very huge. Each drug touches the pain points of consumers, and the desire to consume must be very high.
For example, the obesity rate in Europe and the United States is very high. If there is a drug that has basically no side effects and can easily reduce body fat, I don’t think any consumer can refuse it.
Even if a course of treatment costs 100 yuan and the effective duration is 1 month, it will cost 1,200 yuan a year. If the annual consumer size reaches 100 million people, it will have an annual output value of 120 billion yuan.
As for not buying anymore after losing weight, it is basically impossible. If obese people do not change their diet structure, they will still become obese after stopping taking diet pills.
It is difficult to change a person's dietary structure. Most people do not have the willpower to change. Especially when there are specific drugs, this inertia will only increase but not decrease.
There are still many types of strange drugs in the hands of China Housing Corporation. Although the output value of a single type of drug is not very large, when combined, the total output value created every year is still likely to reach a scale of close to one trillion yuan.
Of course, this depends on the international promotion capabilities of China Housing Corporation. Currently, they are contacting various channels to strive to make these drugs available to consumers around the world.
As long as consumers know about it, there will always be a drug that you need. Shangtong Trading Company is sparing no effort to promote Chinese pharmaceutical companies on the ground, and ATV is also desperately advertising Chinese pharmaceutical companies internationally.
Since the safety level of these drugs is very high, no adverse reactions have been found in clinical trials conducted in various countries. You only need to follow the instructions for use and there will be no safety issues.
Therefore, these drugs are approved as over-the-counter drugs in various countries and can be sold casually in major pharmacies. Naturally, the sales channels are much wider.
Since there are no competitors and the medicines are urgently needed by consumers, it can be said to be a complete buyer's market, which means that the share ratios of the major sales channels are also low.
Shangtong Trading Company originally had several pharmaceutical chain companies under its umbrella, which were distributed all over the world. There was no shortage of offline channels, so naturally the negotiation confidence was much greater.
Moreover, Shangtong Trading Company is about to launch an e-commerce platform. E-commerce can break down geographical barriers and further reduce reliance on offline channels, which is another big help for Chinese pharmaceutical companies.
The trillion-dollar pharmaceutical field that Zhao Yi had previously told government leaders could be said to have been completed in a short period of time, and it far exceeded the original vision.
In fact, most of the cost of drugs is research and development costs, and production costs are actually not worth mentioning compared to the starting price. Excluding research and development expenses, the profit margin is not lower than that of Yadai's personal care products.
Moreover, most of the current formulas of Chinese pharmaceutical companies come from Zhao Yi. The research and development expenses can be said to be negligible, and the profit margin will naturally be very high.
They generate huge profits every year. Except for part of it that needs to be used to cover the losses of Zhao Yi's welfare company, most of the income can be turned over to Zhao Yi and then flow into the China Housing Company account.
This is a rough calculation of the relatively large projects he has in hand. In fact, each of his major companies also has their own investment plans this year. Although the scale of a single company may not be comparable to the above, the overall scale is also small.
In addition to the large-scale investment made by Zhao Yi's companies, there is also the large-scale investment made by the national team. Although the scale is smaller than the total investment scale of Zhao Yi's companies, it is not much different.
It's just that the national team's investment projects are not necessarily profitable. In addition to projects such as high-speed railways and old railway reconstruction, there are also many national highways and rural road constructions. Such projects basically have no direct benefits.
Last year, my country's GDP officially became the largest in the world. Coupled with the larger investment scale starting this year, accelerating domestic economic construction and the expansion of domestic demand, our country's economy will be unparalleled.
It’s just that the joy from the achievements of domestic economic development can only be transferred among a small number of people in the country. People in the country just know that their lives are getting better and better, it is easier to make money, and there are more types of goods than before. many.
More importantly, with the growing wealth of the people and the equalization of welfare for all, the domestic conflicts that Zhao Yi was worried about before have obviously disappeared. Although there are still sporadic people who come out to say weird things, they basically have no influence.
This is crucial to the stability of the country. If only urban residents could clearly feel the great improvement in their lives before, now that the national infrastructure and urbanization construction has begun, rural areas have also clearly felt the difference.
And this obvious change will become more and more obvious as larger-scale investments begin this year. The income of rural residents will not be lower than that of urban residents, and there will be no difference in welfare benefits. These are all factors of domestic economic development. new momentum.
In fact, the Loess Plateau environmental transformation plan of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company is also very grand in scale, but it is still in the negotiation stage and there is no final agreement.
For a large-scale land transformation plan like this, an agreement must be reached at the central level, and the interests involved are also very large. Each item is an issue that both parties must seriously consider and deal with, because if there is a slight difference, the interests will be very different. same.
So a few months later, the progress was not very smooth. While the two parties were negotiating, they also needed to send investigators to visit the residents of the Loess Plateau to investigate their wishes.
In fact, from a national level, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company's ability to manage the Loess Plateau is naturally a meritorious thing. It can not only reduce water and soil erosion, but also bring more opportunities to local people.
But ordinary people whose vital interests are involved have different ideas. How to protect their interests is the focus of this negotiation, and it also needs to be supported by sufficient questionnaire data.
One option is for them to directly become employees of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company. In the future, they will help Yaoguang Environmental Management Company manage the forest resources on the Loess Plateau, including forestry resource maintenance, harvesting and timber felling.
Because the area is so large, if you want to reasonably manage this large area of forestry resources, you will need a very large number of people. That is to say, the number of people patrolling the mountain is not a small number. Otherwise, if there is a fire, the losses will be very large.
Moreover, the terrain of the Loess Plateau is very complex. Although a large number of machines will be invested in daily forestry management in the future, the manpower required will be much larger than that in Badain, Jilin.
In fact, this plan is the one that Yaoguang Environmental Management Company prefers. In this case, the residents' land will also be collected, which reduces a lot of trouble.
These forestry resources will have relatively high economic value in the future. If these residents are not employees, theft will be inevitable in the future. Management will be very troublesome and there will be a lot of disputes.
If they all become employees of a company, they will form a community of interests and be unified into the management of the company, and local residents will also be able to obtain stable income, and even generous bonuses and dividends.
Another option is to only contract unowned land. In other words, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company and local residents do their own business and have nothing to do with each other.
Although this plan looks very good and does not seem to cause much trouble, in fact the trouble is much greater than the first one. Theft of forestry resources will inevitably occur, and it may even form a trend.
Money attracts people's hearts. When the time comes, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company will have a huge headache for this, and if the law does not hold the public accountable, it will be even more difficult to manage. In the end, they may just let it go. For Yaoguang Environmental Management Company, the losses will be very big. big.
Fortunately, Zhao Yi doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters. He also believes that Fluclight Environmental Management Company can handle these matters. His task is to develop a wide variety of plants for them.
Therefore, while working on robots, most of his energy is spent on the cultivation and research and development of new plant species, which not only need to have economic value, but also must meet the climatic conditions of the Loess Plateau.
More importantly, he also needs to turn the characteristics of these plants into binary characteristics. If other researchers do it, it is basically an impossible task. Even Qingnong Biological Laboratory does not currently have this capability.
Although he has the Zhou Ling in his hand and the world is mine, the technical problems are not a big deal to him, but the workload involved is not a lot at all.
Because the area of the Loess Plateau is too large, if you want to fill these areas, just one or two tree species will not work. No matter how high their economic value is, if the quantity is too large, they will not be sold at a high price.
Therefore, he needs to reorganize the domestic demand for industrial raw materials, and at the same time, he needs to be forward-looking and feels that forestry resources will be very important in industrial development in the future.
After sorting out these, there are thousands of plant species that need to be cultivated. With so many species, even if there is no technical problem, the workload is still very heavy for him.
Therefore, although the negotiations with Fluolight Environmental Management Company have not yet reached a final result, the construction schedule here is still very tight and all plant types must be developed within this year.
Because after it is developed, it still needs to be handed over to the Qingnong Biological Laboratory for seed cultivation, which also takes a lot of time.
Because there are so many types and quantities, the energy and labor costs spent through the traditional seed cultivation model are too great. More importantly, even with auxin, Zhao Yi feels that the time is still a bit long.
Therefore, he hopes to develop a seed cloning machine. After adding nutrients, a large number of seeds can be cloned through this machine. There is no need to wait for the seeds to grow into trees and then mature to bear fruit.
This kind of machine is actually very incredible. In fact, among the agricultural products consumed by humans, seed agricultural products account for a large proportion. If there is enough nutrient solution, it means that agricultural products can be continuously produced.
The most typical ones are food crops, and what we eat are their seeds. If this replicating technology can be applied on a large scale, it means that there is no need for land to grow, and it can be directly produced by machines.
However, these are all theoretical matters. The actual situation is that the cost of producing agricultural products in this way is too high, and it is not currently popular.
Because if you want to estimate production on a large scale, you must have enough nutrient solution, and the ingredients of the nutrient solution are various minerals. Currently, no mined minerals can have such a large reserve.
And even if there is such a large reserve, it will be consumed year by year and will eventually be used up. By then, there will be no minerals that can be mined and the only choice is to extract them from the land, and the cost will still be sky-high. At the same time, the damage to the land is also great.
This is one, and the other is that large-scale production in this way will reduce jobs. This may not be a big deal in the future. At least for now, this is a serious problem and must be considered carefully.
So to sum up, although this technology is very high-end, it does not have the possibility of large-scale promotion. It can only be used for seed cultivation, because seed cultivation can withstand high costs and the scale will not be particularly large. .
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi added another huge task for himself. This kind of machine sounds simple, but it is much more difficult than the high-end lithography machine mentioned in the previous life, and the technical content is also much higher.
Compared with chips, seeds are more microscopic. To achieve this goal, the types of technologies involved are not only genetic technology issues, but also the use of many other supporting technologies and equipment, which is very complicated.
To be honest, as long as Zhao Yi doesn't tell him how this machine works, even if he gives the machine to other scientists, they will not understand why this machine can do this.
If you don’t understand the principle, you will naturally not be able to improve it. The most you can do is copy it, but the technical difficulty of copying is also very high. There are many components and parts in it. These are not the core. The real core is the supporting operating software.
Because the operation of the machine is not static, the working mode of the machine needs to be changed according to the stage of seed re-engraving. The changes are very varied. At the same time, the re-engraving process is different for each type of seed, and no paradigm can be seen on the surface.
Seed replicating technology actually simulates the process of seed maturation on the mother plant, which means that it directly skips the process of seed growth and goes directly to the process of tree fruiting.
The seed results of each plant have certain universality, but also have their own uniqueness. Not to mention the uniqueness, there is a huge difference between the plant's own gestation and the simulation of the machine environment.
The uniqueness part is even more critical. This is because the built-in software does not have a fixed paradigm and must be adjusted differently according to different seed types.
Now that everyone has seen this, they will inevitably think about whether it can be applied to animal breeding. In fact, the core principles are similar, and they all simulate the process of maternal gestation.
Therefore, it is natural to apply relevant technologies to animal breeding. However, Zhao Yi is more cautious about this and has no plans to try it on animals, let alone the artificial womb that he had always wanted to do in his previous life.
Unless there is a huge population crisis or genocide, artificial womb technology can only exist as a scientific research project and must not be promoted in society. The risks it brings are too great.
At that time, the moral system that maintains human society will completely collapse, and even Zhao Yi cannot predict the consequences. In order to avoid such unpredictable risks, he can only hide this technology in his heart.
Not to mention the artificial breeding technology of animal larvae, even the current seed cloning technology, in fact, it is only handed over to the Qingnong Biological Laboratory and will only be used within the laboratory and will not be publicized to the outside world.
Because the plant research tasks undertaken by the Qingnong Biological Laboratory are too heavy, even if the research yields results, it will take many years to cultivate enough seeds, which takes too much time and energy.
With this kind of machine, the Qingnong Biological Laboratory will only need to focus on plant research in the future. As for seed cultivation, it basically does not need to spend too much energy. (End of chapter)
