In the international crude oil futures market, Gao Jin took Gao Yihai's side, so the supermarket paid some money to sell it to Gao Jin. Gao Yihai still had the courage.
"I need to think about it." Gao Jin touched his head and said this.
Gao Yihai became a little uneasy and raised his tea cup to touch Gao Jin.
"I still say the same thing, if you make a price, brother, I will never object."
"It's better to take advantage of you than to take advantage of someone else."
Gao Yihai watched Gao Jin say these words seriously. Before telling Gao Jin about this matter, he asked several companies and was disappointed when he got the reply.
Either explicitly reject the acquisition, or offer an extremely low price.
If it is sold at a low price, it is better to sell it directly to Gao Jin. At least Gao Jin can help him when he is in trouble.
"This is too sudden, I have to think about it"
"Xingling Group has just held its annual meeting and has already set its development strategy for this year. If you suddenly come up with something like this, it will disrupt the strategic plan of the entire group."
Gao Jin rubbed his head and said this. Gao Yihai nodded and stopped talking about it, knowing that what Gao Jin said was true.
"As long as you have an idea, please give me a message after the Lantern Festival." Gao Yihai could only say this. Gao Jin nodded, indicating that he would seriously consider this matter.
After drinking tea for a while, Gao Jin called Guo Tao and asked Guo Tao to send a car to pick him up. After a short time, the two of them left the balcony, and Gao Jin returned to the room to change clothes.
It didn't take long for the vehicle to arrive, and Gao Jin said goodbye and returned home.
Gao Yuande was not at home. Gao Yuanming stayed with him for dinner at noon, while Gao Jin ate alone at home.
Guo Tao knew why Gao Jin was called out by Gao Yihai, so he was very concerned and prepared two medicinal meals for Gao Jin. Gao Jin had enough to drink and said hello to Guo Tao before going upstairs to rest.
I spent a lot of energy last night, and I need to rest for a few days to make up for the shortfall in my body.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Yuande came back and was chatting with Guo Tao in the living room. Gao Jin also woke up and went downstairs at this time.
"Master, come and have tea," Guo Tao called.
Gao Jin nodded and walked over. He sat down and drank a cup of tea. He said "Yes" and immediately picked up another cup to taste it.
"Uncle Guo, where did you buy this top quality jasmine tea? It's top quality, it's definitely top quality that's rarely seen in the outside world," Gao Jin gave his own evaluation.
"When my boy was studying in the United States, he had a girlfriend who had his own tea factory. This time he came to see me and brought me a few cans."
"If the young master likes it, I will give you half of it."
Guo Tao said this with great joy, and was very willing to give up to Gao Jin. Over the years, Gao Jin would bring a gift to Guo Tao every time he went to Xiangjiang when traveling.
The total value of these gifts is several million, and two cans of tea are nothing.
"Okay, you're welcome, Uncle Guo and I," Gao Jin said with a smile. This kind of jasmine tea is very valuable, and the price per kilogram will not be less than 10,000 yuan.
Price is not the issue, the key issue is that it is difficult to buy.
The truly top-quality jasmine tea has not only the scent of jasmine flowers, but also a very light pine scent. This is because during the cellaring, there is a process that requires the use of pine wood for baking.
Most of the jasmine teas on the market now are made by machines and lack an indescribable taste.
"Don't just drink tea. Uncle Guo is feeling a little uncomfortable. Please solve it." Gao Yuande said at the side. Gao Jin was stunned and turned to look at Guo Tao.
"What happened, Uncle Guo?" Gao Jin asked.
"Master, my boy studied agricultural technology in the United States. Now that he has graduated, he wants to start a business and contract a tea farm to cultivate a new tea variety."
"There is a bit of lack of funds. I don't know the people in those investment institutions, so I told the master about this." Guo Tao said this with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"How much capital is needed?" Gao Jin asked.
"Currently, we have raised 13 million yuan, and we are still short of more than 20 million yuan," Guo Tao told the truth.
Gao Jin nodded after listening, thought for a while and looked at Guo Tao before speaking.
"Uncle Guo, I don't know much about new tea varieties. However, I have an agricultural plant research institute. It is not that simple to transform a plant variety."
“It requires biological talents, genetic talents, the joint efforts of many people and the expenditure of large sums of money to achieve success.”
"To be honest with Uncle Guo, my Agricultural Plant Research Institute created a new agricultural variety, which cost more than 200 million yuan and took more than two years to succeed."
"This is not a small project. I am afraid that more than 30 million yuan will not be able to complete this project."
After listening to what Gao Jin said, Guo Tao was stunned. He actually needed so much funds, and he began to feel anxious.
Gao Jin will not lie to himself, Guo Tao can be sure of this.
Gao Yuande, who was next to him, was also surprised that a single type of agricultural input cost so much, and there was no news about this achievement from the outside world.
"Which variety did you achieve a breakthrough in?" Gao Yuande asked.
"Soy"
"Breaking the U.S. bean monopoly in one fell swoop. This is a brand new variety. I don't plan to authorize it. I plan to play it myself. The profits are very considerable."
“Maybe the project leader will win a Nobel Prize.”
Gao Jin said with a smile, and Guo Tao next to him was moved in his heart. He didn't know much about scientific research, but he knew about the Nobel Prize. All those who can win this award are the world's top scientists.
I didn't expect that there was such a person in Gao Jin's Agricultural and Plant Research Institute, and I began to worry about my son's project.
Gao Jin's Agricultural Plant Research Institute has so many advanced equipment and high-level talents, but it also spent more than 200 million and took more than two years to achieve a breakthrough. Can his son achieve a breakthrough with more than 30 million in funding?
If there is no breakthrough, all the money will be wasted.
For a moment, Guo Tao began to worry about gains and losses.
"Uncle Guo, don't worry. After the New Year, ask him to come to see me with the report. I will have a serious talk with him. If it is suitable, I will fully support him."
"When he makes money in the future, he can just return my investment."
Gao Jin said this with a smile. Guo Tao is his family's retainer and must be treated favorably.
"Thank you, Master, I will do as you say," Guo Tao said immediately, feeling a little more grateful to Gao Jin in his heart.
"How many of your employees have won the Nobel Prize?" Gao Yuande asked.
"Now there is only Dr. Kane and Kang Qianli. After the Nobel Prize is awarded next month, there will be one more, Guo Maoshan."
"Our Xingling Group will have three Nobel Prize winners"
Gao Jin said this very proudly. Looking at the major domestic companies, only the Xingling Group has such a foundation. Its research institutes have three Nobel laureates.
Gao Yuande nodded and looked at Gao Jin. If he hadn't personally carried Gao Jin into several major hospitals for DNA monitoring, he would have really doubted whether Gao Jin was his own.
I am proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, and now my son is still so good, this life is really worth it.
"Young Master is amazing"
Guo Tao's words are really not flattering. The ranking of the world's richest people released by Forbes last year caused quite a stir.
It also caused a great shock in Xiangjiang City. No one expected that Forbes would use this method to ridicule Gao Jin, and they did not expect that Gao Jin would become the richest man in the world in just a few years.
Although Gao Jin has nothing to do with the Gao Group, it also caused the share price of the Gao Group to rise by more than 20 yuan, increasing the wealth of the Gao Group by tens of billions in one fell swoop.
This is the invisible influence brought by the world's richest man, which is terrifying.
"Go for a walk with me"
After Gao Yuande finished speaking, he stood up. Gao Jin made an apology gesture to Guo Tao, stood up and followed Gao Yuande out.
The father and son came out of the room and walked along the path towards the garden, thinking they were relaxing. Not far after they walked out, Gao Yuande said, "What does Gao Yihai want from you?"
"It's no big deal. They told me they had a family meeting. Gao Yishan was in charge of the Gao Group and he was separated."
"I am interested in selling the Xingfeng supermarket chain in exchange for funds and looking for a stable project."
Gao Jin told the truth and told the matter truthfully. Gao Yuande nodded. Gao Yihai's actions were almost as he expected.
"What are you going to do, buy it or not?" Gao Yuande asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet. The annual meeting has just been held. Xingling Group's goals for this year have been determined and funds have been arranged."
"Suddenly, something like this happened, which took away a lot of my energy."
"If supermarkets want to renovate, they must invest a lot of money. At that time, they will have to compete with domestic Dongdong.com, Baobao.com, and Pinxixi shopping malls."
Gao Jin truthfully stated his thoughts. Xingling Group is rich, but the three platforms are not given for free. If they fight, there will probably be no winner in the end.
The only winners may be employees and consumers.
"You can consider acquiring the Xingfeng supermarket chain. I heard news that the country may introduce policies to support physical stores. This will be an advantage for you in the future."
Gao Yuande told the gossip he had received. The state knew that physical stores were closing down one after another, and now it had reached a point where it had to provide support.
If left unchecked, it will be a huge blow to the entire country's economy.
After hearing this, Gao Jin shook his head and said that he was not optimistic about this point. At most, a tax exemption policy would not change the overall environment.
The fundamental reason why the physical store cannot operate is the rent. Your net profit is 10,000 yuan a month, and 6,000 to 8,000 yuan is given to the landlord.
The remaining money is simply not enough to pay employees, and the more they work, the more they lose. This is the reason why physical stores are closing down one after another.
Rent accounts for 90% of the factors, and the last 10% is the cost of living. The high cost of living is suppressing people's purchasing power.
Compared with consumption, survival is the most important thing.
"Why, you are not optimistic about this policy?" Gao Yuande looked at Gao Jin and asked this question. Now, he had no intention of looking down on his son at all.
"It's useless to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. At most, some privileged people will just make a fortune."
"Cannot change market conditions"
Gao Jin said this unceremoniously.
"Don't underestimate the relevant departments. They can't think of anything you can think of, and the policies introduced must be targeted," Gao Yuande said.
"I know"
"The relevant departments must know the fundamental reason why the physical store cannot continue to operate. I have no doubt about this."
"It's just that they can't be ruthless"
"We'd better not discuss these things, let's not talk about national affairs."
Gao Jin said with a smile, Gao Yuande smiled and stopped talking, as long as his son knew what he was doing.
