Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has naturally benefited a lot from Baiwei Food Company's global expansion. Although not all of their processed food raw materials are purchased from Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, the proportion is still very large.
First of all, in the domestic staple food processing industry, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company’s pomegranate rice is indeed very fragrant and tastes very good when cooked, but when made into other products, it is still not as flavorful as flour or rice noodles.
On the one hand, people are used to eating food made from rice flour or flour, and are now accepting another food. Most people in the country are not particularly accustomed to it, not to mention they don't have much experience in using this raw material.
On the other hand, rice flour made from pomegranate rice is inferior to flour and rice flour in all aspects. Its characteristics are between the two, which makes the products always taste less interesting.
In order to open up the domestic market as much as possible and not just use it as rice, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company needs to solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise, completely replacing the domestic staple food will become an empty talk.
Therefore, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company not only handed over its pomegranate rice to Baiwei Food Company for fine processing, but also entrusted them with more attempts in the hope of solving this problem.
After continuous attempts and research by Baiwei Food Company, although the powder ground from 100% pomegranate rice cannot achieve the desired effect, the pomegranate rice powder prepared after a certain proportion is very effective.
80% pomegranate rice flour, 5% wheat flour and 15% ordinary rice flour are added into it to form a product. The prepared rice flour has a better taste than rice flour only, and is welcomed by rice flour lovers.
If the formula is changed to 85% pomegranate rice, 12% wheat flour and 3% ordinary rice flour, the new flour will be better than traditional wheat flour and has also been recognized by consumers.
In addition, there are many other different ratios, targeting more niche needs, basically meeting all the needs of the domestic people.
Most of the pomegranate rice supplied to the domestic market is processed by Baiwei Food Company and supplied to the market. Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company itself will not directly operate the market.
Because Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company positions itself as a producer of agricultural and animal husbandry products, they have little interest in processing and market retail, and basically leave it to other companies to operate.
For example, in addition to supplying Baiwei Food Company as raw materials for processing, most of their vegetable products are sold through the retail channels of Shangtong Trading Company. They do not face consumers directly.
The advantage of this is that they can operate crop planting and animal husbandry with peace of mind, without having to spread their energy too much, resulting in too many employees, or having a variety of businesses, but everything is sparse and ordinary.
The disadvantage is that the sales channels are easily controlled by others, which results in the inability to sell your products at a good price, thus damaging your own interests. In other words, you do not have much bargaining power, and you will also lose part of your profits.
But this is only for others. Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company is still very confident about Baiwei Food Company. At the same time, they themselves occupy an absolute position in agricultural and animal husbandry production. Unlike ordinary farmers, ordinary methods do not work for them at all. .
For Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, the current strategy is correct. Otherwise, they would not have so much energy to focus on the research of agricultural and animal husbandry technology, as well as take care of sales channels and markets.
It can be said that Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has absorbed a large part of their production capacity through the channel of Baiwei Food Company, including some agricultural products or even all of their production capacity.
Of course, the agricultural raw materials that can be completely monopolized by Baiwe Food Company must be very special and of strategic significance, otherwise they would not be exclusively supplied to Baiwe Food Company.
For example, the raw materials for various condiments used by Baiwei Food Company are grown by Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, and then the mature agricultural products are sold to Baiwei Food Company for subsequent processing and turned into various condiments.
Moreover, the added value of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company’s crops is relatively high, which is very consistent with the mid-to-high-end business image of Baiwei Food Company, and can absorb many of their high-end raw material production capacities through their channels.
It is precisely because of this that Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company can engage in its own specialized business with peace of mind and at the same time reap considerable benefits. Otherwise, it will bear higher costs than state-owned agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises and still operate at a risk. Water rises.
As mentioned before, most of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company’s land is located in hilly areas, with few large pieces of plain land. The cost of farmland transformation is relatively high.
At the same time, they cannot own a large amount of land themselves like state-owned agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises. It will cost a fee to contract such allocated land.
Therefore, most of the agricultural and animal husbandry products operated by Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company are of relatively high value. Even the edible oil is grown from specially cultivated tea seeds, because the quality of tea seed oil is the best among edible oils and the price is also affordable. Sold very high.
And even if they grow soybeans, they don't have that much land. The only piece of land is a pasture. Although the area is very large, the value of animal husbandry is higher than growing soybeans.
For example, Baiwei Food Company's soybean oil, peanut oil and other oil products all purchase raw materials from state-owned agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises, or import raw materials from abroad. Agricultural and animal husbandry companies do not provide such low value-added agricultural products.
However, after the land transformation in the Tarim Basin and the northwest is completed, there will be relatively sufficient land for growing these relatively low value-added crops. However, the specific situation depends on the overall domestic situation.
If other domestic companies can adequately supply these agricultural products, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company will not be too lazy to join in the fun. Instead, they can concentrate on higher-value agricultural products.
In fact, based on my country's current agricultural technology and population size, it is still completely satisfactory to provide a sufficient supply of agricultural products for the country, and this is without offshore farms.
You must know that our country's agricultural technology is now much more powerful than before his rebirth. In addition, the population is 400 million smaller, so land cultivation alone is enough.
Together with offshore farms, our country's demand for land cultivated land for growing staple foods has been greatly reduced, and more cultivated land can be used for cash crops such as soybeans and peanuts.
Even without the transformation and development of desertified lands such as the Tarim Basin and Gansu, my country's existing cultivated land area is actually enough to meet the food requirements of a population of 1.8 billion, and the life is relatively good.
Just having five or six hundred thousand square kilometers of available land will allow our people to live more calmly, have richer material lives, and be able to cope with more unexpected situations.
As for how much business Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has, Zhao Yi himself is not sure. There are too many categories of crops. In addition to conventional crops, there are also many crops created out of thin air.
Coupled with the continuous improvement of crops by the Qingnong Biological Laboratory, my country has the largest number of crop varieties in the world. Although not all varieties may have the highest yield, the number one variety is a sure thing.
Moreover, the work of improving varieties is not only carried out by the Qingnong Biological Laboratory. State-owned research institutions are also carrying out such work simultaneously, but most of them use hybridization technology.
Although Qingnong Biological Laboratory has also published a large number of gene-related papers, there is still a long way to go before the papers can be transformed into technology and applied in practice.
If a paper can be easily transformed into technology, Qingnong Biological Laboratory will not easily publish it. When they publish a paper, they need to go through a detailed review to confirm that it will not be used in technical practice in the short term before they are allowed to publish it.
After a theoretical paper like this is published, it is actually discussed more at the academic theoretical level, and you can use other people's intellectual resources to do more extended research.
Qingnong Biological Laboratory can have more choices and directions through these extended studies. In addition, they have superb biotechnology, which makes it easier to transform other people's results into technology and use it in practice.
This is why Qingnong Biological Laboratory publishes many papers for others to learn from when it owns leading biotechnology. It is for this purpose.
Although the Qingnong Biological Laboratory has a large number of researchers, it is still a little thin compared to the global intellectual resources. If you can make full use of other people's intellectual resources, you will be rude.
Therefore, some biological theories of Qingnong Biological Laboratory have also been learned by major domestic biological experts, but there is still a long way to go before they can be transformed into technology.
However, state-owned research institutions have made quite a lot of achievements in the field of biological hybridization. In the past, there were Mr. Yuan Longping and Li Zhensheng, the father of wheat hybridization, etc., who were all figures who made achievements in the field of hybrid plant cultivation.
It's just that Qingnong Biological Laboratory's approach is different from theirs. Although most of the work is also engaged in plant cultivation, they not only focus on the cultivation of crops, but truly focus their work on biogenetic technology.
Their plant cultivation work is only the result of their research process, not the purpose. In fact, their research projects are more targeted at the bottom layer of biology, and they are biological scientists, not engineers.
However, compared to many research projects, the cultivation of plant varieties is not so taboo, and if you want to maintain the operation of the Qingnong Biological Laboratory, you must produce something, and you cannot simply rely on the boss's funding.
This is why they have cultivated many excellent crops, but they have not stopped because they continue to make progress in the field of biological bottom-level research and always gain something.
At a certain stage, these gains will be transformed into practical technologies. On the one hand, they can provide finished products and put them on the market to earn more funds for laboratory research needs.
On the other hand, it is the verification of the underlying theory. Without verification, they will not be able to judge whether improvement is needed, and there will be no possibility of continued improvement. This is an iterative process.
This is why Zhao Yiyi was not so confident about their crop cultivation technology before. They need to go through rigorous experiments and get clearer conclusions before they can be promoted on a large scale.
But in this way, it takes quite a long time. First, it requires continuous iteration at the bottom layer, which takes time. Second, it also takes a long time to let the plants grow and mature.
With this back and forth, it may take more than ten years or even decades to wait for a plant variety to be launched on the market. This will seriously constrain the energy of Qinnong Biological Laboratory and cause their research efforts to be too scattered.
That's why he provides plant auxin to reduce the time required for plant growth, and also provides a biological genetic simulation evolution system to reduce the time they need to perfect the underlying technical theory.
In fact, in terms of hybrid breeding technology, Qingnong Biological Laboratory also has very strong technical reserves, but it is rarely used in finished product cultivation, due to the reason mentioned above, it is too slow.
Moreover, hybrid breeding technology is not difficult in conventional theory. What is important is the search for special varieties, which takes a very long time.
If the ideal variety cannot be found, the ideal finished product cannot be cultivated. Of course, it is also possible to continuously select the type through iteration of offspring to achieve the goal.
However, this method also takes a lot of time, or even longer, and the results are more uncertain, which is unacceptable to Zhao Yi who pursues high efficiency.
Therefore, the hybrid breeding technology of Qingnong Biological Laboratory is very active in communicating with major domestic research institutes, exporting its own technology to the outside world, and learning from each other at the same time as domestic and even international counterparts.
Regarding hybrid breeding technology, Qingnong Biological Laboratory has a very open attitude, because this biological breeding technology does not cause much harm and is the safest technology in all biological breeding.
The confidential biological cell and gene technology of Qingnong Biological Laboratory is more advanced and cutting-edge. If the theory is mature, the results will be very fast, and the application fields will be wider.
However, these technologies need to be used with caution and a responsible attitude. If used for uncontrolled or special-purpose research, devastating disasters can easily occur.
In order to avoid irreversible events, Qingnong Biological Laboratory has established a very strict review and review system. Only a biological laboratory that he has complete control over can make him feel more at ease.
If these technologies are disclosed to the outside world, they can easily be used by people with ulterior motives. These technologies can be used not only for human development, but also for the destruction of humans and even all living things on earth.
This is why most of the verification of biological cells and genetic technologies in Qingnong Biological Laboratory is carried out through plants, and rarely through animals and microorganisms.
This is because animals or microorganisms are more destructive. Even if plants make mistakes and unexpected situations occur, the impact will be very limited.
If Qingnong Biological Laboratory wants to carry out large-scale practical experiments in the fields of animals and microorganisms, they need to improve their gene bank and conduct in-depth research on this.
Because they are not Zhao Yi, their predictability of the future of biology is much poorer. They can only use the gene pool of nature to continuously improve their technology and theories. At the same time, they can also use the performance of genes in nature as one of the reference bases.
People like Zhao Yi who are cheating are another matter. They don't need the gene pool of nature as a reference at all. They can create genes out of thin air in the Zeoling Space.
And it is all from the base pair level, and even biotechnology at a lower level than the base pair, slowly constructs special genes and sets, and then manipulates the performance at the cellular level through the gene sequence.
In this way, many plants that did not exist on the earth were born from his hands, but he was actually quite afraid of using this technology to create new animals and microorganisms.
The microbial technology he provides to Technical Materials Company and other affiliated companies is actually not created in this way, but is instead cultivated through targeted cultivation of microorganisms that originally existed in nature.
As for the cultivation of animals, he has only done it personally in the cultivation of Maowusu beef cattle, sheep and dairy cows in Tengger Ranch, using relatively conservative cell-directed cultivation technology.
This is not to say that the animals and microorganisms he created are unreliable, but that the subsequent impact of animals and microorganisms on the natural world is much greater and more harmful than plants.
Of course, particularly abnormal plants can also have a major impact on the natural world, even more violently than animals, such as cyanobacteria.
The reason why there is so much oxygen on the earth that allows other animals to survive is because of the changes brought about by cyanobacteria. The oxygen produced by cyanobacteria globally is much higher than the oxygen produced by vegetation around the world. It is the main producer of oxygen on the earth. By.
Of course, cyanobacteria are large single-cell prokaryotes and are very different from our common plants, but in his eyes, there is not much difference between them.
Because he can use technology to create cross-race creatures that can have the tenacious vitality of microorganisms and the conventional characteristics of plants.
Even Zhao Yiyi is taboo about these things. Although he does not rule out the possibility of research, he should try to use this biotechnology in actual production as little as possible if other methods are available.
It's not like he never thought about bringing various dinosaurs from the dinosaur era to modern society, putting them on an island, recreating "Jurassic Park", and making a lot of money from ticket fees.
But thinking about it later, he killed the idea. First, he felt it was unnecessary. The age of dinosaurs was already in the past. The role of reproduction had no other big purpose besides making money, and he was a man who was short of money.
Second, the earth's environment is no longer suitable for the large-scale reproduction and survival of dinosaurs, and it is also incompatible with modern human society. They belong to overlords of completely different eras, and there is no need to meet them face to face.
Of course, more importantly, the maintenance cost is too high, and the possibility of natural continuation is very low, and it has almost no effect on promoting civilization. In his opinion, it is a product of nature that should be extinct.
Although when he first received the golden finger, he was high-spirited and felt that he could do anything. Many of his industries were also established in his early days, and the number and types of industries established in his later years were much smaller.
Because as he gets older and has been in contact with Golden Finger for longer, he has more and more unique insights into the world. One of his insights is to follow the weather.
It is not impossible to go against the will of heaven, relying on the golden finger, but he knows that going against the will of the sky is only temporary, and in the long river of time, they will still gradually return to their original position, and they will not be able to go against the will of the sky because of the temporary defiance of the sky. It can be avoided by changing your life.
If he only had the lifespan of an ordinary person, he might be confident that he could change his destiny in a moment. After all, being able to steal a moment from heaven is great, and it still accounts for a very important proportion in his life.
But his lifespan is destined to be very long, and his outlook on problems is obviously different from that of ordinary people. He is relatively calm about short-term sudden changes, and he is not as enthusiastic about changing his name against the odds as before.
It can even be said that since what he did before was out of his heart, it was not a random act in his long life. It could be regarded as a seasoning in his life, making his boring life more exciting.
Fortunately, he is generally a peaceful person and does not have too much bad taste. Therefore, what he does generally has a major promotion effect on human society, rather than standing against human beings.
Of course, he was not sure if his adventure had any other purpose. He would not make major changes rashly until he was not sure. What he was doing now would only speed up the historical process.
In the long history of mankind, this may be just a drop in the ocean. It is precisely because of this that he will particularly emphasize the importance of education, allowing human society to generate more powerful endogenous motivation, rather than relying on him personally.
He may be very interested in this matter now and enjoy it, but there is no guarantee that one day he will be tired of this kind of life and choose to live in seclusion completely.
If so, everything he is busy doing now is likely to return to the original track at a certain point in time, which means that what he is doing now becomes useless.
Only by promoting major changes in social subjects can we have a more far-reaching impact, thereby making the trajectory more biased towards our own side for a longer period of time.
As for the complete deviation, he is not sure. After all, these are philosophical matters. You will never know without experience, and you cannot use scientific methods to predict. After all, the larger the time scale, the less accurate the prediction results will be.
Of course, he doesn't particularly care about this. He just hopes that what he has done will not return to the original track so quickly. As for the longer-term future, he is just watching as he goes, and there is nothing he can do now.
Because he himself is probably a chess piece in the universe, and he is not even sure whether he is a chess piece. In other words, he doesn't even fully understand this, so what qualifications does he have to talk for a long time? (End of chapter)
