() "Because Dongning City is a reform city, the Reform Office has direct authority to delegate to the Dongning Municipal Party Committee. However, although other provinces and cities also face such a large gap, in terms of grain and oil, COFCO and COFCO are the real leaders. If you want to develop cooperation with other cities, you are grabbing food from the tiger's mouth. This is not a project that your company can easily obtain whether you have money or not. Moreover, Sinograin and COFCO directly control the pricing power of grain and oil. They are state-owned enterprises, and you do not. Why should we fight with them for pricing power?" Ye Menglong asked rhetorically.
Canglong smiled, but didn't care: "Isn't the purpose of reform to break this monopoly? If no one is a pioneer, then I will be a pioneer."
"You said it was easy, but do you know how much interest is involved?" Ye Menglong asked, "Since China joined the WTO, food imports have been increasing rapidly, exports have been decreasing, and the gap between food production and demand has been increasing rapidly. Expansion, at this stage, China's grain production growth lags behind demand growth has basically formed. Don't look at the news every day about so-and-so production increases. In fact, the grain gap is getting bigger and bigger with the reduction of cultivated land. Those in the news Provinces and cities that increase production are nothing more than granaries designated by the central government.”
"Then tell me how big the benefits are." Canglong asked.
"For a long period after the reform and opening up, China's net grain imports showed considerable instability. After China's accession to the WTO, China's net grain imports rose sharply. Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's net grain imports have exceeded 800,000 yuan. million tons, and then continued to grow. Now China needs to import more than 60 million tons of grain every year. According to the current development model, the demand for grain will reach 650 million tons in a few years. China's grain production capacity was only 550 million tons at that time. tons, which means that China's grain production and demand gap may reach 100 million tons by then." Ye Menglong explained carefully, "The import of 100 million tons of grain is absolutely unprecedented in the world, and the interests involved are: How big is it? According to the current price of 4,000 yuan per ton of grain, by then the increase will reach the price of 10,000 yuan per ton. Calculate yourself how much is 10,000 times 100 million yuan."
"We need to spend one trillion to import food." Canglong said flatly, "If the other party is unwilling to export for some political reasons, China may hesitate."
"Aren't you surprised?" Ye Menglong was surprised.
"Just because I know that if China can achieve fully mechanized production and complete agricultural reform, there is no need to spend this trillion, so I want to earn this trillion." Canglong said calmly.
"You really think that this trillion is easy to earn." Ye Menglong was a little uneasy, "Your company model may be beneficial to China's future. Let's not say whether it can be realized. Even if it is realized, there will be no need to import it. The price of grain will naturally shrink, and it may not have a market share of one trillion yuan, so it is a dream for you to earn so much every year, and Sinograin and COFCO will let you intervene in their territory so easily."
"If they don't give it, then I will rob it. Anyway, I am doing good things. You should know how much influence Oriental International will have on China in the future if its investment is so large. My goal is to make Oriental International the number one in China." A big company, even the largest company in the world." Canglong said calmly.
But Ye Menglong was frightened by his words, because she had never heard such domineering words from Cang Long. If his plan is really realized, the food production in China will become this model, which will indeed be a huge problem. market, it will definitely not be a problem for Oriental International to become the world's number one company by then, and Oriental International will have the largest number of employees in the world.
Because Canglong's business model not only contracts farmers' land, but also hires their people and provides them with production equipment. Finally, after excluding the cost of equipment provided by Oriental International, it sets prices for the grain produced by farmers and sells it to Oriental International for processing and production. , and sold throughout the country, and can even be exported to the world, so there will be as many employees at Oriental International as there are farmers in China.
Of course, this presupposes his acquisition and the pricing power in the hands of Sinograin and COFCO.
"First let's talk about whether you can succeed. If you succeed, you will be the richest farmer in China." Ye Menglong didn't know whether it was a compliment or a criticism.
"Then are you ready to be the CEO of the world's number one company?" Canglong asked with a smile.
Ye Menglong was stunned and said without hesitation: "If you dare to be the boss of the world's number one company, I will dare to be the CEO of the world's number one company. Of course, I would rather be the boss lady of the world's number one company. I don't know if you dare to do it." This CEO’s husband.”
"This is the kind of you I want. I really made the right choice by choosing you." Canglong praised, but did not answer the next sentence, which made Ye Menglong very confused.
After returning to the company, Canglong met with Secretary Yu and discussed the launch of the Oriental International project, but Secretary Yu posed a difficult problem for Canglong.
"I want to invest in shares in the name of zheng fu, and the capital is five billion U.S. dollars." Secretary Yu seemed to be convinced, "This will be helpful to you or your company. Of course, the five billion U.S. dollars is It will be allocated by the Reform Office, and all future profits will be included in administrative income, so I won’t get a penny."
This was originally a good thing. After all, Oriental International required huge funds in its early stages of development. Although Hamlet provided more than 10 billion U.S. dollars in funds, with the needs of the company's development, this 10 billion U.S. dollars of investment soon It will all be spent. Although this huge project seems to make a lot of money in the future, there is a premise: it is in the future, not now.
Especially when the project is not progressing smoothly and may even be unable to make ends meet, investors are very important. However, if Canglong lets Secretary Yu enter the company in the name of Zheng Fu, he and Hamlet will have to cut their shares. In the company, he no longer has absolute control.
But in China, if you want to develop, you must get official support. Without official support, it will be difficult for an enterprise to develop. Especially for such a major project, if it is really successful and promoted nationwide, the official will definitely need absolute control over the enterprise.
So doing this is a bit like inviting a wolf into the house.
"I need to think about it." Canglong did not refuse directly, nor did he agree. On the one hand, he needed official support to face the difficult problems raised by Ye Menglong, whom Lin Wanrou had reminded him of. But on the other hand, he also wanted to If he hopes that someone can restrain him in the company in the future, it is tantamount to giving himself a torture device.
"This really needs to be considered carefully. I never thought you had any ambition before, but now I think you are really an ambitious person. It's just that compared to those people who talk about what they want to do all day long, you have hidden secrets. It's deeper, but you are more comfortable than any careerist I have seen." Secretary Yu smiled and said, "This is not just a conversation between an official and an entrepreneur, but also a mother-in-law's warning to her future son-in-law. Sometimes having too much power is not a good thing. You have to learn to let others benefit and learn to delegate power."
"I don't want to have too much ambition, but someone forces me to have ambition." Canglong smiled, "As for your warning to me, I will keep it in mind, but it seems too early to talk about it now. At least we have to make some achievements in Dongning City in Oriental International, am I right?"
"The official business is over, let's talk about personal matters. Have you heard from Xiaoxue recently? She hasn't called me back for a long time. I think she has been avoiding you. She called me once and told me that she didn't want to Let you see her like she is now." Secretary Yu said, "Tell me honestly, will you dislike her?"
"This fool." Canglong blurted out, but didn't explain anything, because he felt it was unnecessary, because Yu Xue was already engraved in his heart, and he would never forget it even if he lost his memory.
Secretary Yu didn't ask any further questions. He seemed to have gotten a satisfactory answer from her, and then left Oriental International. Canglong then went to the Institute of Botany in Jiangkou Township. The reason why he rushed back to Dongning this time instead of going to Ukraine was because Jiang Yue called him and their experiment made progress.
This technology is the key to the power struggle between Canglong and the interest factions in the future, so he attaches great importance to it. Hamlet, who is far away in Dubai, also attaches great importance to it. Originally, it would be better for him and Hamlet to go to Ukraine to see the shipyard. thing, but now it has been postponed.
Arriving at the research institute, Cang Long put on protective clothing and saw the experts in the laboratory busy and busy. Even his biggest boss was ignored. Jiang Yue and several students also participated in the research. It is said that the expert The doctor who won the Nobel Prize in Botany liked her very much.
The breakthrough of this experiment was on that sample plant. Of course, the extracted essence was also subjected to experimental comparison. Originally, there was no progress, but one time the doctor asked Jiang Yue to conduct necessary tests on the plant. When extracting the prepared DNA, Jiang Yue accidentally used the wrong extraction equipment, and that equipment happened to be equipment soaked in essence. By the time Jiang Yue reacted, it was already too late.
But unexpectedly, the observation and data report the next day found that the vitality of this sample plant had exceeded any previous data, and Jiang Yue notified Canglong of this news immediately.
In the hotbed of the laboratory, all the experts looked at this plant like a treasure, fearing that some other problems would arise.
The arrival of Canglong broke the original calm. Jiang Yue was very excited to see Canglong again. She didn't know whether it was because of the progress of the plants or something else. Anyway, she was very happy now, regardless of whether Canglong understood plant evolution and cultivation. , directly shared their results.
"The experiments of several weeks have been successful. The vitality of this plant has exceeded that of the most vital vegetation in the world. Now it is just short of development. When the plant wilts naturally, our experiment will be completed. By then we will not only You can get a complete set of genetic codes and breeding methods, and you can also conduct experimental cultivation of crops." Jiang Yue said excitedly.
"How long will it take?" Canglong asked.
"This may take half a year, or one year, or two years. Based on the current vitality of this plant, we can infer that its lifespan may be ten years." Jiang Yue said.
"Ten years." Canglong's expression changed. He couldn't wait that long. "If I let you experiment on crops now, would there be any problem? In addition, you just mentioned the genetic code. What you experimented with will not It’s a genetically modified plant.”
"Of course not, Mr. Cang, you need genetically modified plants. The genetically modified technology in the United States has long been mature, and there is no need for us to come to China. The current experiment is the most natural cultivation method, and there is no artificial modification that violates any natural laws. This is The most difficult, but also the key to the experiment. If successful, the essence extracted from the plants can even be refined into medicine in the future to enhance the resistance of the human body. The essence has a strong ability to resist germs, and the crops cultivated in the future , when attacked by insects, the vitality will also increase, because insects attack crops, mainly with poison, but the vitality of this plant can resist poison, and the fruits it produces have more nutritional value than ordinary crops." Dr. Suddenly he came over and said.
"Can we experiment on crops in advance?" Canglong nodded and repeated it again.
"No, our technology is not yet mature, and we don't know what will happen when we experiment on crops. After all, the molecular structure of each plant is different. We must obtain complete data and genetic codes before we can cultivate other plants. "The doctor firmly objected.
"Ten years." Canglong shook his head. Although he got good news, he was still a little disappointed.
"Mr. Cang, don't be disappointed. It may not necessarily be ten years, maybe half a year, maybe a year. This is all possible, as long as you believe in us." The doctor said calmly.
Canglong looked at him, nodded and bowed: "If it succeeds, you will become a group of people who change the world in the future."
