On December 18, the cover news reporter learned that the new agricultural brand "One Meter Eight" was officially unveiled in Hangzhou. Hu Xiaoming, a former partner of Alibaba and former CEO of Ant Group, serves as the chairman of 1.8 Agricultural Technology and the chief quality control officer.
Based on the experience of global agriculture in the past few years, "1.8" tries to apply new technologies to traditional agriculture, and will regularly publish product quality reports and breeding environment reports to the public in the future.
Hu Xiaoming, chairman of 1.8 meters agricultural science and technology, was at the scene of the 1.8 meter press conference.
Hu Xiaoming said that the name of the "1.8 meters" company comes from the wish that "every mother hopes that her child will grow to 1.8 meters". "We want to combine technology with agriculture and use technology to fully exploit the new potential of traditional agriculture. Deng Zhonghua, CEO of 1.8 Marine Technology, said that after a tour around the world, it was found that deep-sea protein is a good entry point, with high nutritional value but low degree of industrialization. After many discussions with experts, 1.8 meters chose the "deep sea black pearl" - mussels. "In China, the nutritional value of mussels is far from being fully recognized and developed, and there is room for great improvement in all aspects of mussels from cultivation to table, and we hope to comprehensively enhance the value of domestic mussels through technical means. Deng Zhonghua said.
In March 2021, Jing Xiandong, chairman of Ant Group, said in an internal email that Hu Xiaoming (pseudonym: Sun Quan), CEO of Ant Group, would resign as CEO of Ant Group and would take the overall lead of Alibaba and Ant's public welfare and social responsibility work in the future.
