() Canglong brought Hamlet to the research institute. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not know what surprise Canglong had in store for him, but when he saw the Flower of Life, he was stunned and then exclaimed: "A miracle, What a miracle.”
No one expected that this flower of life would grow to what it is today. It has a bit of a sci-fi flavor, completely out of touch with its original appearance. It is lush and green, and you can feel the vitality through the glass Hamlet.
"How could this happen?" After a long time, Hamlet came back to his senses.
"Even doctors can't explain the evolution speed of the Flower of Life, but according to data, the vitality of this Flower of Life is a hundred times that of ordinary plants, and more than ten times the strongest vitality of existing plant species on the earth, and it is still growing. Enhancement. At that time, the doctor estimated that the possible lifespan of the Flower of Life was ten years. After all, too much energy was consumed in the process of evolution. But now it seems that this is not the case at all. Its main stem is expanding, and it has not yet reached fruition. time, so it is impossible to predict how long its life span will be." Canglong explained.
"As for the experiments on other plants, I need a plant that can grow in the desert." Hamlet said.
Canglong seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He asked the staff to bring a small black box, handed it to him and said: "This is a Traveler banana seedling. It has been successfully grafted. It is called Traveler No. 1 in the institute, and Like Zaodao No. 1, although Traveler No. 1 has the ability to reproduce, it cannot reproduce the vitality of its original body. However, this original version can be planted in the desert. It only needs a ladle of water to grow very lushly. In our It has been tested in the climate simulation laboratory and the effect is very good."
Hamlet was overjoyed at first, and then frowned: "Can't we cultivate traveler bananas that can inherit the vitality of the original body?"
"It can be cultivated, but it is still under development. Zaodao No. 1 has still started genetic experiments. Although the results are very good, although the experimental Zaodao No. 2 can inherit the vitality of Zaodao No. 1, its lifespan is generally not strong. Once it arrives, During the fruiting period, it will wither. I have invited Academician Yuan and Dr. Yuan to work together to develop it. Soon, we will have Zaodao No. 2 with a long life, which can at least survive the fruiting." Canglong said.
He stayed in the laboratory these days and learned a lot. Compared with dealing with the sundries in the outside world, Canglong found that he liked the research work in the laboratory very much.
"When will it be the first time?" Hamlet knew that Canglong was not lying to him. In such a short period of time, it was already a miracle that a plant like Zaodao No. 1 could be cultivated. It was useless to ask for it. The evolution of plants Speed does not depend on people, but on the natural environment.
"Sooner or later, the Middle East will turn into an oasis." Cang Long said firmly.
"I'm waiting for your good news." Hamlet nodded, "I will inherit the throne of the Emirate of Dubai in three months. There will be a coronation ceremony then. If you are free, I hope you can attend."
"So fast." Canglong didn't expect it.
"I'm not happy anymore. I've been the crown prince for several years, and my father is finally willing to completely hand over the power to me." Hamlet's face was solemn. It was not an easy task to inherit the throne of the emirate. In the future, he He cannot be so arbitrary like a crown prince, but a king, the real head of state.
Although there are many emirates in the United Arab Emirates, the Emirate of Dubai is a country second only to the largest emirate. It contains a lot of political struggles, which is not inferior to China at all. No matter where it is, the struggle for rights is always the most cruel.
"By the way, there are some problems at the Black Sea Shipyard." Hamlet said suddenly.
"What's the problem?" Canglong asked curiously.
"Big problem. According to security records, there are spies from several countries operating around the shipyard, especially Americans, Russians, and even you Chinese." Hamlet said helplessly, "There is no way. We built the aircraft carrier too fast. In just over a year, the entire keel has been completed, which attracted too many people's attention, and I even felt panicked."
"Panic." Canglong touched his chin and thought about something, "Is there a security problem?"
"Although the Ukrainian government has dispatched the most elite special forces to guard outside the shipyard, you should also know that Ukraine's special forces are not ranked first in the world, so" Hamlet said with a worried look.
"I will send someone over, and he will contact you. No one can get any information from the shipyard without him." Canglong nodded.
"I'm waiting for your good news." Hamlet smiled. In fact, he came here mainly to ask for people from Canglong. He can provide the funds for the shipyard, but security is indeed a big problem. There are indeed many things in this world. Powerful mercenaries, but Hamlet did not trust them.
After Hamlet left, Canglong sent a text message to 197. The general content was to ask 197 to move to Ukraine. The Mexican drug traffickers could not be solved immediately, especially when the Mexican government began to distrust them. They stayed in Not only does Mexico have no mission, it is also very dangerous.
So Soryu simply asked 197 and the others to go to the Ukrainian shipyard. As for Mexico, they only needed to leave some contact points. When the Americans no longer paid attention to them, Soryu asked them to return to Mexico and let others take their place.
A few days later, Yang Wu came to Oriental International again. Cang Long didn't know how he became the acting chairman again, but he was very interested in the document in Yang Wu's hand. This was a letter of intent for cooperation, which included Received the cooperation project between COFCO and Oriental International in the future.
The most eye-catching one is that COFCO will serve as a platform to sell agricultural products produced by Oriental International, and Oriental International can put its own trademark instead of COFCO's trademark. The benefits of such treatment are absolutely obvious. COFCO occupies Owning half of the grain industry and the pricing power of China Grain Reserves to control the market are advantages that other grain companies do not have.
If Oriental International cooperates with COFCO, it will not need to build its own platform and can avoid many risks. This means that if the market is full in the future and the grain cannot be sold, COFCO will not return the grain to Oriental International, but will directly contact Oriental International. China Reserve negotiates to turn the surplus grain on the market into reserve grain.
The most important thing is that COFCO has mastered one of the largest sales channels, providing staple grains to major military regions. This is the most potential customer group, so once Oriental International cooperates with COFCO, it will be equivalent to selling products to the military. Whether it is the common people or the army, they basically eat the food produced by Oriental International. Soon this product will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is no need to even advertise.
However, Canglong knew very well that these conditions looked good, but in fact he didn't care. If COFCO took the products produced by his company, did something fishy, or sold them at a high price, although he would make money by then, he would end up losing money. Its own brand has been ruined, which is why Canglong must have pricing power.
Moreover, Ye Menglong has received many large orders from Europe and the United States, including not only grain, but also vegetables, fruits and trees. Many European countries are willing to purchase from Oriental International Farm at high prices in the future.
Similarly, many hypermarkets in Europe, America and China have signed agreements with Oriental International. It will only be a matter of time before the food produced by Oriental International is on the dining tables of all Chinese people.
So he looked at the agreement, but didn't care. Instead, he said to him: "I need pricing power. Oriental International must have pricing power in China."
Yang Wu's face darkened. He knew what Canglong wanted, but he really couldn't give it to him because it was the lifeblood of COFCO's existence. What's more, if COFCO agreed, would COFCO agree?
"We are only responsible for regulating the grain market and have no pricing power." Yang Wu said perfunctorily.
"Without pricing power, COFCO would not be able to join the Fortune Global 500, let alone monopolize the market." Canglong said with a smile, "If you are not willing to give Oriental International the right to participate in pricing, then we have nothing to talk about, because we We will soon occupy the market and radiate throughout China, and 31% of our shares are state-owned assets, so we don’t worry about what the central government will do to us. After all, we pay taxes and pay a lot of taxes."
Yang Wu had a very ugly face. The reason why he came here in a hurry is because if he doesn't talk to Oriental International now, he won't be qualified to talk in the future. COFCO needs Oriental International's cooperation, but Oriental International doesn't need COFCO.
"Now you have no chance to consider it." Canglong said with a smile, "Last time I asked you to consider it, it has been long enough. If COFCO is unwilling to share pricing power with us, then we will be competitors in the future. Don't worry. I will show no mercy."
Facing Cang Long's persecution, Yang Wu was like a deflated rubber ball, and finally smiled helplessly: "You and her are so similar, do you really not know your identity?"
"What identity?" Canglong looked confused.
"It seems you really don't know." Yang Wu shook his head, "COFCO can share the pricing power with you, but the future pricing of grain must be negotiated by three parties, and cannot be set by one party alone."
"As long as the market price is reasonable and don't ruin my brand, if you want to make money, I will definitely let you make money. What's more, with a market as big as China, there is no reason not to make money." Canglong smiled and said, once he got the pricing power, Oriental International ri There will be no obstacles to future development.
With COFCO as the icing on the cake, it won’t take long for Oriental International to radiate across the country.
"Yes, businessmen who seek short-term profits are stupid." Yang Wu nodded, "However, Chairman Cang, we share pricing power, so should you also share technology with COFCO?"
"Technology." Canglong smiled, "This is the foundation of Oriental International, and there is no possibility of sharing it."
"What if what you want is the country?" Yang Wu asked rhetorically, "You must know that Dongfang Cereals and Oils has 31% state-owned assets and has the right to share Dongfang Cereals and Oils' technical products."
"Are you talking about Zaodao No. 1?" Canglong said with a smile, "If the country wants it, then take it. I will even provide you with a complete set of production technology. But whether you can plant it or not, that's your business. Also, Oriental Cereals and Oils is just a production company and does not include the technology of Oriental International."
Hearing this, Yang Wu's face changed. Obviously Canglong had been prepared. Everyone thought that Oriental Cereals and Oils included the technical stocks of Zaodao No. 1, but now he realized that this was not the case at all.
