Gao Jin stayed in the company for a week, and Jane began to inspect the subsidiaries of Xingling Group on behalf of Gao Jin, mainly to supervise the subsidiary's layoff progress.
Eight percent is no longer enough. After reading Star Spirit's world economic simulation pictures, Gao Jin raised this standard to ten percent.
This is a rigid target, and companies under the Xingling Group must complete this goal before December 20 this year.
After arranging the company's affairs, I took Sonia on a special plane and immediately left for China.
Instead of flying directly to Italy, he flew to the Arabian Kingdom to meet Crown Prince Rahman.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Jin's special plane landed slowly at Sola Airport in the Kingdom. A dozen luxury cars were already waiting at the airport. When Gao Jin got off the plane, a man wearing a traditional Arab robe greeted him.
"Mr. Gao, welcome to Sola. I am Balu, assistant to Crown Prince Rahman. I have arranged a hotel for Mr. Gao. Please." Balu shook hands with Gao Jin and asked Gao Jin to get in the car very politely.
Gao Jin nodded slightly and took Sonia into the car. The motorcade started and slowly started to drive out of the airport.
The hotel that Rahman arranged for Gao Jin was not one of the famous hotels in the city, but an inconspicuous hotel in the suburbs. This hotel had not been open to the public since its establishment.
Only members customers are welcome.
When the motorcade drove over, the security guard raised the railing with a hint of caution, allowing the motorcade to drive in smoothly.
Gao Jin's car drove directly to the door of the hotel, and two doormen immediately came over and opened the door. Gao Jin got out of the car with Sonia, and Balu also got out of the car.
The leader, Gao Jin, walked directly in. There is no need to worry about other things, there is a dedicated person to handle it.
Walk into the elevator and go all the way to the top sixteenth floor. There are only six rooms on this floor, which are reserved for the most distinguished guests.
After Balu led Gao Jin into the room, he said a few words to Gao Jin, left ten special passes and left.
"Sonia, contact the security team and tell them where I am stationed," Gao Jin said and started boiling water to make tea. Sonia sat down on the sofa and started to get busy.
Balu knew that Gao Jin's security team had arrived at Sola and had left ten passes for the security personnel to use. As for Gao Jin, his Facebook profile had been transferred to the system and he could enter and exit freely by swiping his face.
"Boss, we have contacted Captain Zola and they will drive over immediately."
“I will contact you when I get to the door.”
Sonia made a report, and Gao Jin nodded and said, "Drink tea. Zola and the others will check the room later and you can go and rest."
"Understood" Sonia said and picked up the tea cup to drink tea.
Time passed little by little, and more than twenty minutes later, the phone next to the sofa rang. It was Zola calling. He had arrived at the hotel entrance and could not enter.
The security guard must speak to the room guest on the phone before releasing them.
"Give the phone to the security guard," Sonia said. Zola handed the phone to the guard. Sonia communicated with the guard, and Zola and others were let go.
In less than ten minutes, Zola and others arrived at Gao Jin's room with their bags. Gao Jin shook hands with Zola and said, "After the inspection, we can leave two people on duty."
"Understood" Zola agreed, waved her hand, and everyone began to get busy.
Opening the box they brought, there were various instruments inside. Everyone got busy with the instruments. Ten minutes later, the entire room was inspected and no abnormalities were found.
This large suite has three rooms, a main room, two secondary bedrooms, plus a large living room. Each room has an independent bathroom.
When Gao enters a room, Sonia will also occupy a room.
After everything was done, Zola chatted with Gao Jin for a while and left with the pass, leaving two bodyguards guarding the door of Gao Jin's room.
Not long after, the hotel restaurant staff came to deliver the food, and the bodyguard entered the room and asked for permission before letting him go.
Sonia ordered dinner. I was too tired from flying today, so I had an early dinner to rest.
More than forty minutes later, Sonia pushed the dining table out so that restaurant staff could come and pick it up later.
At this moment, Gao Jin had returned to his room to take a shower and plan to rest. Sonia had also returned to her room. All the things that needed to be played had been played on the plane. At this moment, Gao Jin and Sonia had no intention of playing around.
After taking a shower, we went to bed early to rest.
The night passed quietly.
The next morning, Gao Jin woke up early and went to the gym downstairs for some exercise before returning to his room.
Sonia has already ordered breakfast, and Gao Jin can eat it directly after taking a shower.
After a while, the waiter came over to clean the room. Gao Jin and Sonia sat in front of the large French window and slowly drank tea.
At 10:30, Prince Aznan came over with Crown Prince Rahman. The two shook hands and chatted for a while. Soon, Prince Aznan and Sonia left.
"Your Highness, if you have something to say, you can speak directly." Gao Jin looked at Crown Prince Rahman and said this calmly.
"Gao, I hope that Harvest Agriculture Company, a subsidiary of Xingling Group, can invest in our country." Rahman looked at Gao Jin and said this. Gao Jin was really taken aback.
Looking at Crown Prince Rahman in shock, the Crown Prince nodded with a bitter expression on his face.
The Arab Kingdom is a large country and has always imported food from abroad. In order to change this situation, it began to formulate policies in 1971 to encourage domestic people to grow food.
The policy is quite favorable.
First, as long as you have been planting for more than eight years, the land you plant belongs to you personally.
Second, all taxes and fees are comprehensive. As long as you are engaged in planting, all taxes and fees, including personal income tax, are 100% exempt.
Third, the state purchases all crops such as grain and fruits, and ensures that the purchase price is higher than the import price.
Stimulated by this policy, domestic enthusiasm for planting was ignited. After several years of development, crop yields increased more than 3,000 times from 1,000.
The output of vegetables and fruits has increased by more than 500 times than before.
With the expansion of the planting industry year by year, the Arab Kingdom has slowly become a major agricultural export country.
This has affected the four major international grain cakes, and has begun to suppress prices and gradually compress the Arab Kingdom’s grain export prices. Gradually, the Arab Kingdom’s grain exports have become a huge burden.
for example
The state purchases grain at a price of twelve yuan per catty and sells it at a price of one yuan per catty, resulting in a loss of eleven yuan per catty.
There is also groundwater consumption, which is on the verge of depletion.
If it weren't for the advent of Xingling Group's air and water-making equipment, the Arab Kingdom would have already begun to adjust relevant policies.
The losses could be sustained for one or two years, but the continuous losses for many years have made this country that is floating on oil begin to be unable to bear it.
In recent years, the Arab Kingdom has begun to adjust its domestic planting policy and canceled many preferential treatment. As a result, the effect was not great, and the planting scope simply did not expand.
It has not shrunk much. Although the purchase price has been reduced, for many growers, the profits are still very good.
The national finances were severely depleted, and Rahman was determined to make radical changes without resorting to major surgery.
The old king also knew the difficulty of this matter. Among the princes, only Rahman had this idea and determination. After comprehensive consideration, he began to support Rahman to ascend to the throne.
This matter cannot be done forcefully, and the domestic planting industry cannot be abolished at once. This will not be good for national stability.
At the same time, there is also the need to avoid being stuck by international grain merchants.
Domestic food output must be ensured. As long as there are no problems with food supply, it will not cause much shock.
There were many domestic shortcomings. After repeated discussions with the old king, Rahman decided to start with agriculture and carry out reforms step by step.
Only by stabilizing domestic prices with food can we be free to change other shortcomings.
To this end, we collected information on global agricultural companies, and finally selected the agricultural group under the Xingling Group.
Because of hydrogen energy, oil-producing countries basically have no good impression of the Sengling Group, but now for greater reform, the Sengling Group must be introduced.
"What are you going to do, Your Highness?" Gao Jin picked up the teapot, filled Rahman's cup, and invited Rahman to drink tea. This matter cannot be settled in a short time, so we chatted while drinking.
"Gao, you know that our country's agriculture is normal. After the introduction of Starlight Agriculture Group, I will announce new policies and adjust the current agricultural policies."
"Significant reduction of preferential subsidies"
"As a result, quite a number of domestic growers will not be able to continue operating, but for Starlight Agriculture Group, the profits will still be very considerable."
"This is important for stabilizing my country's food prices, vegetable and fruit prices."
Rahman said and stopped talking, believing that Gao Jin would understand what he meant. After listening, Gao Jin nodded slowly, already understanding what Rahman meant.
"How far does His Highness intend to go to completely abandon domestic agricultural cultivation?" Gao Jin asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Won't"
"If domestic agricultural cultivation is completely abolished, we will have an extra chain around our necks, and those people will have an extra weapon to control us."
Rahman looked at Gao Jin and said this with profound meaning. Who are those people worth? I believe Gao Jin can understand.
"Your Highness, agricultural construction requires investment. Even if agricultural groups come to invest now, it will take at least a year to achieve results, and it will be difficult to achieve results quickly!"
Gao Jin told the truth, whether it is the vegetable industry or the planting industry, the results are not immediate and require a start-up time.
"I know"
"All I hope is that you will come and invest this year. It will start in the second half of next year and will bear fruit the year after that."
"The policies I introduce cannot kill people with one stroke. There must be a transition period. Cut some this year and cut some again next year. When the cuts are made the year after next, they will not cause large-scale panic."
Rahman said this very calmly. Gao Jin glanced at Rahman and felt that he had underestimated the crown prince, who did things in such a planned way.
The method used by Rahman is a typical boiling frog strategy. When the people in the country who were planting crops came to their senses, they had lost the power to resist.
(I came back after six o'clock and sent the customer away. In the code word "endeavor", there is also "endeavor".)
