Chapter 75 HutubiGuo Yang found the recent financial statements of Muhe and Tianhe, and after looking at them for a while, he felt a little bit unbelievable. I have been working hard to spend money over the past six months, so how come I still have so much left? After returning to Beijing from Hanover, Guo Yang transferred a total of 11 billion yuan from abroad. After paying the back taxes, the total amount was still around billion. The money was initially divided into two parts by Guo Yang, of which 5 million was injected into Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry for the improvement of 20 acres of saline-alkali land and the construction of a ranch factory. Due to the rush to meet deadlines, the cost of improving the saline-alkali land exceeded the estimated million by million yuan, and a total of 2 million yuan was spent. The ranch's recent planting costs, design fees, factory construction costs, alfalfa No. 1 seed fields, office and accommodation buildings, and cattle breeding farms have cost about million yuan. If we introduce forage processing equipment later, it may cost several million more. In total, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry spent about million yuan in the past six months, and still has million yuan left in the account. Guo Yang injected 3 million yuan into Tianhe Seed Industry and launched more investment projects, but the balance in the account was also extremely sufficient.
3000 acres of original seed propagation base and seed processing plant, 3000 million yuan, not used up yet. The 5000-acre seed production base in Hekou Village and the hot and sweet pepper seedling base in Lan City, totaling 1000 million yuan, have not been used up yet. The 3-acre hot and sweet pepper demonstration bases in Lanshi, Jinchuan and Gangu will need to bear the advance payment of agricultural materials such as fertilizers and agricultural films in the early stage, but not more than 100 yuan per acre. In addition, they will need to pay a purchase deposit to the government and farmers, which totals about 2000 million yuan. Guo Yang looked at the balance of million yuan on Tianhe's financial statements. Even if the seed money for seed production and the cost of purchasing fresh peppers were reserved, there was still a cash flow of 2 million yuan. I couldn't help but sigh, spending money is really hard work! In half a year, including the cost of purchasing agricultural machinery, Guo Yang spent a total of about 5 million yuan. Beijing Weiguang Investment has also been making stable profits in the past six months. Not only has it earned back the money spent on purchasing the office building, it has even made extra profits. So, in total, Guo Yang's pure cash is million + million + about 4 million in foreign accounts, totaling about million. Guo Yang understood Wang Duoyu's troubles. It's really a pity to keep this money in the bank and earn interest. However, if you think about it carefully, I haven't stopped at all in the past six months and have been working on it all the time. It’s just that everything is starting from scratch, and agriculture is also a long-term investment process. Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Tianhe Seed Industry are currently pure investment with zero revenue. Many investment projects are unlikely to generate significant returns within one or two years, and the most recent revenue that can be foreseen is the sales of hot pepper seedlings in March. So, sufficient cash flow is a good thing in some ways. But there is indeed too much money. We need to find ways to expand some projects. After much thought, Guo Yang temporarily established several directions. First, we will continue to contract and improve saline-alkali land, desert, etc., accelerate the accumulation of natural energy, improve saline-alkali land, desert, etc. into prairie, and simultaneously establish large-scale pastures. Second, the agricultural machinery factory must speed up the progress and cannot wait for Yu Honghai any longer. At worst, they can just start from scratch. The third is the development of seeds, which is also the most difficult because seed production inevitably involves dealing with farmers.
Only after he had an idea in mind did Guo Yang return to his room to rest. The next morning. Guo Yang went to the cowshed again and took a look around. The cattle were still quite alert as usual. Only the Qinchuan cattle and the Simmental cattle, which Guo Yang had fed personally yesterday, were barking at him excitedly. The bull's eyes looked at him expectantly. Unfortunately, Guo Yang did not bring any fodder and was not prepared to continue feeding. But from the intimate behavior of the two cows, it can be seen that Alfalfa No. 1 is indeed quite palatable. that's enough. Gently stroking the cows' heads, Guo Yang named the two cows while Ding Ji looked puzzled. The Qinchuan cow is Xiuxiu, and the Simmental bull is Zhuangzhuang. Xiuxiu is also the legal wife designated by Guo Yang for Zhuangzhuang. When the cattle are in heat in spring, Dingji will help the two to mate. When hearing Guo Yang's instructions, Ding Ji was already a little numb. The boss is playing house with the kids here! After explaining everything, Guo Yang was ready to leave. Seeing this, Xiuxiu and Zhuangzhuang showed expressions of reluctance. After returning to the accommodation area, Guo Yang once again reminded Zhang Wei and Cai Bin to go to Shandong Province for training and study, and then left the ranch. …… Hutubi Cattle Breeding Farm is located on the southern edge of the Junggar Basin at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, 72 kilometers west of Urumqi. It is a state-owned farm under the Xinjiang Provincial Animal Husbandry Department. Founded in 1955, after decades of development, the total area of the farm is now 30 mu, including 4 mu of arable land and 3 mu of natural grassland. It is the largest dairy farm in Xinjiang Province. After being introduced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Guo Yang came here for a visit and inspection. It is time to expand Alfalfa’s dairy cow herd. The chairman of the Hutubi Cattle Breeding Farm is named Chen Ting, a middle-aged man in his sixties, slightly overweight and wearing a thick coat. He was taking Guo Yang on a tour. Cattle farm, forage planting base, dairy processing workshop, mixed feed processing plant, organic fertilizer plant, cattle embryo production base... After looking all the way, Guo Yang felt that this trip was unnecessary and asked, "Secretary Chen, how many dairy cow breeding stock can your farm provide to the surrounding areas every year?" Secretary Chen smiled and said, "Except for the ones we keep for replacement, we provide about 2000 dairy cow breeding stock every year." Guo Yang frowned. "That's not a lot. The Ministry of Agriculture told me that your farm is the largest cattle breeding farm in the northwest." "Why, Mr. Guo wants to buy all of our 2000 dairy cows?" "There is such a plan, but the quantity may not be enough. Alfalfa currently has nearly 20 acres of pasture."
Secretary Chen smiled cheerfully, "Young people should not be too ambitious. 2000 dairy cows are a lot of breeding stock. It's hard to find another one in the whole northwest." Guo Yang did not comment, thinking that this statement was somewhat boastful, as Meng Province was also a major livestock province. Secretary Chen looked at his appearance, thought for a moment, and then led the way to the outdoor grassland. The biting cold wind blows on my face, cutting it painfully. "Mr. Guo, you know how difficult it is to breed dairy cows. Hutubi has gone through a lot of hardships to get to this point." Guo Yang thought about the various complete facilities he had seen in the past two days and said, "I am also very curious about Hutubi." Secretary Chen looked at the vast alfalfa meadow in front of him, then pointed to the cattle farm behind him, and suddenly thought: "The cattle farm was located on an endless reed beach. It was damp and cold, with wolves roaming around. A group of entrepreneurs brought their families from the inland areas to support the frontier, and two families lived in one dugout together." "We lived on the limited rations distributed by the state, working 16 hours a day, digging canals to drain alkali, and clearing wasteland for farming." "The dairy cows are mainly grazed, and the feed is obtained locally. Their nutritional status is poor, and the cows live in a simple reed shed." "It goes without saying that the conditions were difficult, and people of that era were naturally able to overcome these difficulties." "But the lack of technology cannot be solved in the short term. More than 95% of the cadres and workers at that time were new to dairy cows." "In 1955, 200 black and white dairy cows were imported from Beijing, and their annual milk production was only 214 kilograms." "As of this year, the breeding farm has more than 3000 dairy cows and more than beef cattle, and provides nearly breeding animals to farmers and herdsmen in nearby counties and cities every year." "The milk production of Holstein dairy cows has increased to 8700 kilograms, which is dozens of times higher." Watching Chen Shu recalling the past, Guo Yang was inexplicably moved. Muhe finally decided to purchase 80% of Hutubi’s dairy cow breeding stock this year, with the remaining 20% reserved for farmers and herdsmen. The gap is huge, and Guo Yang can't help but think of the tax and financial preferential policies for imported breeding cattle mentioned by the Ministry of Agriculture. After much hesitation, I decided not to give money to the foreigners. He has elite dairy cow genetics. What is lacking is not good cattle, but quantity. (End of this chapter)
