【1521】 The main grain producing area
After using breakfast in the employee canteen, Xiao Feng and his party began the inspection process at the "Miracle Farm" and would visit front-line positions to comfort the busy employees. This is also Xiao Feng's routine work every year.
For many front-line employees, Xiao Feng is not only the noble "world richest man", but more importantly, he is the founder of the group, the leader in leading them to a happy life.
Xiao Feng has such a high prestige within the group, and even Xiao Feng himself was a little surprised because his arrival almost made the entire farm boil. Many employees on vacation returned to the farm just to look at Xiao Feng from a distance.
…………
The farming area of ‘Miracle Farm’ reaches 300,000 acres, plus unusable water surfaces, roads, forests and wastelands, the total area exceeds 1,360 square kilometers.
This land is similar to an irregular rectangle, with a longest position of about 50 kilometers and a narrowest position of 32 kilometers. It has now become one of the most important industries of "Jinghu International".
According to the financial media's evaluation, the valuation of "Miracle Farm" has exceeded US$50 billion, equivalent to US$160,000 per acre, which is relatively high in farms and ranches in America.
"Minghu Group" launched mergers and acquisitions in 2013, and began to acquire these farms and ranches from many landlords in the United States, and then transformed them into what they are now.
According to data released by Jinghu Group, the total acquisition of all lands that year, and the renovation cost did not exceed US$20 billion, which means that in just a short starting point, these assets have achieved more than double the value-added.
Of course, what makes the outside world even more envious is the profitability of the Miracle Farm itself. The organic ingredients planted and bred on this land have now become the most popular products in the entire European and American regions. The supply is in short supply in the market and can bring huge profits to the Jinghu Group every year. It is an important force supporting Xiao Feng's "the richest man in the world".
…………
After leaving the canteen, Xiao Feng and his party boarded the electric car that had been waiting for a long time. In order to avoid more air pollution in the farm, internal combustion engine machinery should be avoided as much as possible. Even agricultural machinery in many places also used electric energy to drive as much as possible. Although the cost will be further increased, this practice is worthwhile for the quality and credibility of the farm products.
The location of the 'Miracle Town' is in the northwest of the entire 'Miracle Farm', which is closer to San Francisco, which is conducive to the transfer of various ingredients in San Francisco. Therefore, after the convoy leaves the 'Miracle Town', it will have to go southeast all the way across the entire farm.
Originally, there was a river winding around the town of Miracle, but now it has been renamed the Miracle River. This river with a lot of water flow, several other rivers and many lakes constitute the main water source for the entire Miracle Farm.
Since purchasing all the land, the Jinghu Group immediately renovated the land in all aspects. It has become the largest fully irrigated farm in the United States, and it is expensive!
You should know that in order to build a fully irrigated farm, the "Minghu Group" invested more than $9 billion in this land, with an average construction cost of $30,000 per acre. Such a figure is still at a high level even in America, where prices are high.
You should know that at that time, the funds for the Jinghu Group to purchase all land were only more than 10 billion US dollars. With such a huge investment, only Xiao Feng, who was rich and powerful, could make such a decision.
Such investment is still quite cost-effective when looking back. After all, America is a place with extremely high labor costs. Increasing investment in infrastructure construction and reducing human resources costs are of great benefit to the development of enterprises.
At present, many front-line employees in the United States have a weekly salary of US$800, and these foreign favors always have to take vacations. The word "overtime" will not appear on them, which also makes Xiao Feng very upset.
If it were not for the protests of the American government and local people's rights and interests, Xiao Feng even hoped that all employees would hire more diligent and affordable Chinese, Mexicans and Indians, and would not invite these white masters and black bosses.
Half of the 200,000 employees of "Miracle Farm" come from China, or to be precise, the counties and cities around "Ginkgo City". These employees have undergone rigorous training in China. They will only be sent to "Miracle Farm" after passing language standards and conducting modern agricultural technology training.
Like them, there are about 50,000 Chinese employees working hard for "Jinghu International" in the "Dream Ranch", "Dream Scenic Area" and "No. 2 Winery" not far away. They are the cornerstone of the rise of "Jinghu International".
These Chinese employees are hardworking, able to endure hardships and can execute the group's various decisions without any compromise. Most of the group's execution ability at the grassroots level needs these Chinese employees to drive.
Generally speaking, the annual salary of these front-line Chinese employees is around 200,000 rmb, which is only a little over 30,000 US dollars. The average monthly salary is about 3,000 US dollars!
At the same time, part of the salary paid by Jinghu Group for these employees is directly settled in RMB in China, which can not only save the group's foreign exchange balance, but also reduce many troubles for employees.
After all, most people who go abroad to work have to exchange US dollars for RMB and send them home to support their families. The group's flexible settlement method is very popular with employees.
In addition to half of the Chinese employees, the most common ones in the "Miracle Farm" are dark-skinned Mexicans and Indians. These employees are hardworking and simple, rarely sloppy and sloppy, and keep a sufficient distance from the so-called "union organizations". This is the employer's favorite employee.
The Miracle Farm raised the salary of these Mexicans and Indians to the same level as ordinary whites and blacks, and received more support.
Although America is a country that boasts of "equality and freedom", various racial discrimination is still everywhere, making people unable to guard against it.
For example, in an American company, the salary of the same job, whites and blacks will be more than 10 percentage points higher than other races, or even more. In most American companies, harder and more dangerous positions are often handed over to people of color outside of blacks. This kind of discrimination has actually reached a naked level, but the mainstream media in the United States will not report it publicly.
Regarding this, some people analyzed that this is because this country is controlled by white people, and the proportion of black people is large, so the entire country only needs to tilt resources to these two races; as for other people of color, the right to speak in American politics is too weak, and there is no support from any super-consortium behind these people of color, and it is normal to be discriminated against and bullied.
However, the emergence of the "Jinghu Group" has changed all this. The group treats every employee equally, and does not treat whites and blacks as old men. Everything is implemented in accordance with rules and regulations. As for those so-called "trade union organizations" who want to argue with the "Jinghu Group", some lawyers deal with them.
Besides, Xiao Feng has established a huge connection in the United States over the years, but he is not a vegetarian. These union organizations often just have some bad ideas and will be under pressure from the top American consortiums, forcing them to give up some actions against the "Mirror Lake Group".
Over time, those white men who think they are "uncle" and black men have gradually succumbed to the corporate culture of the entire group. The word "overtime" is not as difficult as before. You can see these old men actively working overtime at any time.
It has to be said that "Jinghu Group" is a very magical enterprise. It has made a fortune in a country like America, allowing the corporate culture of Chinese companies to spread in the United States.
…………
When the car left the "Miracle Town", what caught my eye was an endless golden wheat field. They are the main grain planting area of the farm and the wheat planting area of more than 50,000 acres. They are the main staple food production base for the "Miracle Farm" every year.
Generally speaking, the wheat yield of ordinary farms is about 5 tons/acre, but at the Miracle Farm, the output of these wheat exceeds 6 tons/acre due to the existence of the "Space Spirit Spring". It is converted into a mu in Huaxia City, which means the existence of tons of grain fields.
This 50,000-acre wheat planting area can bring 300,000 tons of wheat to the Jinghu Group every year. This is the most stable income of the entire Miracle Farm. Even if it is affected by the climate, the yield will not be greatly reduced. After all, this is a fully irrigated grain production area.
Compared with ordinary wheat, the wheat from "Miracle Farm" has much better taste, trace elements, proteins and various beneficial elements due to the existence of "Space Spirit Spring". It is much better in terms of taste, trace elements, proteins and various beneficial elements, and is the best wheat in the world.
The flour grinded with these wheat, whether it is made of Western pastries or Chinese pasta, has a strong wheat fragrance and a taste that ordinary flour cannot reach.
In this case, the price of this wheat is almost two to three times that of ordinary wheat, and it is even priceless. The top international consumers have already made up all the wheat before it matures!
Generally speaking, the price of wheat produced by Miracle Farm is about US$6 per kilogram, which is just the price of wheat grains that are not ground into flour. If converted into flour, US$10 per kilogram of flour is a sky-high price!
In this way, these wheats can bring nearly $2 billion in revenue to the Miracle Farm every year, with an average output value of $40,000 per acre, ranking among the top farms around the world.
Xiao Feng is now coming to the farm just in time for wheat harvesting. Countless large combined harvesters are running on the vast wheat fields. The golden wheat is cut down by the huge force of industrial machinery, and then turned into golden wheat, which is dried by the machine and then transported to the truck that follows.
The straw of wheat cannot be discarded at will, because these straws are still rich in nutrients and can be used to make dry feed for poultry and livestock, which is quite useful. In the entire "Miracle Farm", almost everything will be recycled. It is also one of the most environmentally friendly organic farms by the outside world. The entire farm has formed a huge and orderly ecological environment.

The entire farm has formed a huge and orderly ecological environment.
These wheat will be sent to the processing center on the "Miracle Town" as soon as possible, and will be dusted with different flour products according to different needs and uses, and then shipped to all parts of the world in vacuum packaging.
In fact, since the rise of "Miracle Farm", the daily staple foods of the world's top wealthy people, political wealthy families and high-income groups have gradually been replaced by wheat, rice and other products produced by "Miracle Farm".
In addition to 50,000 acres of wheat, the Miracle Farm also plants 50,000 acres of rice. The total annual output of these staple foods is about 600,000 tons. This number seems to be very large. In fact, facing millions of high-income classes around the world, it is actually just a drop in the bucket.
However, for the Jinghu Group, growing staple food is not the best choice, because whether it is growing vegetables and fruits or breeding poultry, the returns and profits obtained are higher than those of staple food. The reason for planting 100,000 acres of staple food is nothing more than enriching the group's product line, just to better bind more consumers.
After passing through the vast wheat-producing area, it is the rice-producing area. It is now the harvest season. The combined harvester is roaring. In two days, the rice will turn into fragrant rice and be served on the dining table, leaving behind the magical legend of "Miracle Farm".
The rice in Miracle Farm only grows late rice for one season. The latitude and climate of San Francisco are similar to the best rice-producing areas in China. In addition, the quality of these rice is naturally quite good, even the Japanese Yueguang rice or Thai fragrant rice are not as good as that of China.
When Xiao Feng's inspection convoy passed by the staple food production area, he saw many tourists standing on the viewing platform to enjoy the spectacular harvest scene. These tourists came from all over the world and came here to appreciate the perfect fusion of pastoral scenery and mechanical power.
Of course, the reason why many foodies and tourists come to the "Miracle Farm" is to eat some authentic food and bring some delicious food to their homes. For these foodies, only food and beautiful scenery cannot be disappointed!
