Chapter 124 Visitors from Pingyang
Multimedia conference room.
After Yu Yang understood Mrs. Smith's purpose, he immediately made a decision.
It's a good thing if people don't do their job properly.
Otherwise, if we focus on Sany bean seeds, with the influence of ADM, let alone foreign trade, we might be worried that the seeds allocated to Jishui City this year will be harmed by the ‘newly launched herbicide’ before they grow.
When the time comes, I will guarantee the collection, or will I not?
If the harvest is guaranteed, billions of banknotes will be paid to the farmers, which will make them lose their pants.
If you don't guarantee the income, your reputation will be instantly ruined and you will be in deep litigation.
And if you don't do your job properly together.
Not only did they not want Trinity bean seeds, they also threw money at us.
How can we refuse such a good thing?
"Mrs. Smith, I agree to cooperate, but you should know that products such as ink are not business items of Sanyuan Agriculture, and they are not even considered an industry. We need time to integrate them and then take them out to you in detail. talk."
"Yes, I understand, so today I just explained my intention and then my intention to cooperate."
"Then let's talk in three days?"
"No problem, but I hope that in three days, you can provide enough ink to my two artists so that they can create and let us appreciate the charm of natural ink."
“I wonder what colors I need?”
Phillips said: "The color closest to nature."
Ron next to him nodded and said nothing.
Yu Yang didn’t understand ink, let alone paints, watercolors, and food additives, so he could only pretend to understand and agreed.
After the meeting.
ADM company personnel settled in the Zhuanyao Farmhouse.
It's the beginning of April in the Gregorian calendar, the weather is getting warmer, flowers are starting to bloom, and with the various fruits and vegetables grown by the sisters-in-law, the scenery in the courtyard has a unique flavor.
Mrs. Smith was so satisfied that she even called to her assistant, “We should build a swing over there.”
The two artists even dropped their luggage and set up drawing boards on the spot.
…
Yu Yang settled everyone down and invited the old director back to his office.
Almost at the same time.
The old director’s office secretary sent over the information that he had already investigated.
include:
ADM company profile, the relationships behind it, and the investors behind it.
This is nothing to focus on.
As one of the four major grain merchants, the companies attached to it must be intertwined, and each of them is a Fortune 500 company.
And the relationships and investors behind it...
No need to think about it, it must be Judas.
Yu Yang turned over the first few pages and found Mrs. Smith.
His real name is Alin Daniel, from the tribe of Judah.
After marrying John F. Smith Jr, he changed his name to Daniel Smith.
Her husband, John Smith, was an investment tycoon on Wall Street in the early years and a guest of the Morgan consortium.
His son, Smith Jr., is the chairman of 'Daniel Smith Company'.
The DanielSmith company is affiliated to North America and was founded in 1993. It specializes in inks, watercolors, pigments, etc.
Although the company was established less than 6 years ago, with its "most authentic colors" and the many famous artists it has recruited, it has crushed some of the world's century-old brands.
For example, Dickson of Japan, Mark Harding of England, Windsor and Newton of England...
"This is for my son!"
Yu Yang probably understood what Mrs. Smith wanted, "As an investor in ADM, the Smith family is not short of money, but what is short of successors.
Mrs. Smith would rather give up Trinity bean seeds and get her own ink ratio and production technology. The only purpose is to make her son better at playing, and then make a name for himself in the field of 'color', and then retire and become The man behind ADM. "
The old director thought thoughtfully, "Since the official has confirmed the identity of Mrs. Smith and confirmed that her son controls Daniel Smith Company, then this cooperation should be real. It's just that for other places, the entry of foreign capital is a good thing, but for us That’s not necessarily a good thing.”
"I understand that letting ADM invest in Shiliying will not help attract wolves into the house, but we have no choice now."
Old Dong shook his head and sighed: "There is a wolf in front of me, a tiger in back, and now a Tyrannosaurus rex jumps out. It's really exciting to work with you."
"..."
"But, do we have ink technology?"
"Yes, but not taken seriously."
Yu Yang took out his business card and said nonsense: "The ink on its surface uses the ancient oil-pressing technology that has been lost in the East."
"Oil extraction using the ancient method?"
"Yes, in the multimedia conference room just now, didn't you hear Mrs. Smith say that plant-based inks are all vegetable oils, but they are mixed with plant fragments, which are colorants, to make the ink more vivid and have covering ability. "
The old director seemed to understand, "Is this technology very valuable?"
"Mrs. Smith got my business card and asked agricultural technology companies owned by Dow and DuPont to conduct tests. Although ingredients such as Sophora japonica and Sappan wood were found in the ink of the business card, and the relevant reaction formulas were deduced, the other parties still came to my door. .
This shows that Dow and DuPont failed to crack the ink ratio, let alone reverse the ink production process.
Referring to what Mrs. Smith just said: If you allow ADM to make more money in this field, ADM will naturally no longer need Trinity Bean Seed.
This shows that the ink formula on the business card and the ink production process are very valuable.
At least the profit potential exceeds that of Trinity Bean Seed. "
The old director nodded slightly, "Then how much investment will we need to find the other party?"
"One billion dollars."
"so much?"
"It's not much, and this is the first investment... But what puzzles me is that the strengths of the two parties are not equal, but Mrs. Smith proposed that both parties should accrue profits based on sales, split 50-50."
"When things arrive at someone else's place, they sell more or less. Isn't it the other person's decision? If I make 10 yuan, I'll tell you I earned 1 yuan, and then split it in half. You get 0.5 and they get 9.5."
"That makes sense!"
"To put it bluntly, I want us to agree as soon as possible, and then others take advantage of the investment in Shiliying to take away the ink formula, ink production technology, and Sany bean seeding technology."
"Leader, are you very skilled at this kind of operation?"
"..."
At this time.
There was a lot of noise in the office hall.
Yu Yang came to the office door curiously.
I saw three men in cadre uniforms getting close to Uncle Liu in the negotiation area.
One is holding his left hand, another is holding his right hand, and the other is sitting opposite wiping tears.
"Dr. Yu, we are suffering in Pingyang!"
"Just like Sun Decai from Sunzhuang, there are three old people at the top and two young ones at the bottom. A family of seven depends on six acres of land to survive. After a flood last year, there was no harvest, and the whole family could only eat dried sweet potatoes. , After chewing for more than half a year, Sun Decai felt uncomfortable in his stomach, but he didn't go to the hospital because he was reluctant to spend money. In the end, he couldn't bear the pain in his stomach and drank pesticide. "
"And in Li Village, every poor family only has one or two rooms, and people live together with chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, donkeys and mules. Is this how to live?"
"Look at these royal buildings again. How many of them have good roofs? How many of them have unpatched clothes?"
"We don't have high requirements. It's just the same as here in Pingdong County. Our county will bear the farmland contracting fees."
Yu Laoliu looked at the many photos on the table and couldn't help but light a cigarette, "It's not that our company is unwilling to invest in you in Pingyang, but the cost of investing in you is too high, far more than Yanggu in the north and Yanggu in the south. Liang County, Taiqian in the west... Our company has only been established for three months, and now the market is already very big. A low-profit project like this must be slowed down. "
"There's no need to wait. We'll acquire the land first, then pass the tracks inside the factory, and still plant soybeans."
Although Yu Yang is not sure whether ADM will invest 1 billion U.S. dollars, he can be sure that the other party's investment will be in hundreds of millions.
Otherwise, spending tens of millions on such an important project would indeed be a bit price-deprecating, and it would also damage the title of the four major grain merchants.
When the investment is in place and the remittance comes in, the amount is As for the ink factories, pigment factories, and food additive factories that ADM needs...
The thing is mass production at the shipyard. Just build a batch of plastic greenhouses and install a few sets of equipment called ancient oil pressing. It just makes sense.
As long as the relevant products are supplied, ADM will not care about these details.
Of course, we have to ensure product quality.
That is, ‘the color closest to nature’.
Thinking of this, Yu Yang said hello to Lao Dong, and then told Uncle Six and the person in charge of Pingyang to do a good job in land acquisition.
Then take the Harmony from the Brick Kiln Platform to the Township Courtyard.
Instead of making ink directly, he contacted his home economics teacher Zhang and asked him to help find a high school art teacher.
I never thought that my art teacher only knew a little bit about oil painting.
Fortunately, the other party recommended his mentor from Dongshan Academy of Fine Arts.
Then Yu Yang began to study ink painting.
First is the color card...
Next is the color wheel, hue, complementary colors, value, saturation...
Then there are mixed colors, contrasting colors, similar colors...
Then comes blending, brushing, layering, masking, dry brushing, wet brushing...
Yu Yang understood.
The so-called oil painting is actually no different from the whitewash used in construction.
No matter how you brush or what tools you use, as long as the result is closer to nature, it means your skills are more advanced.
And the so-called close to nature does not mean exactly the same as nature.
It just makes it easier for the eyes to accept the color and like it.
Even from a psychological level, this thing should be like this.
Therefore, oil painting is an abstract and psychologically suggestive product.
If you don't have these two things, it's called graffiti.
The factor that determines abstraction and psychological suggestion is the quality of the paint.
Like blue paint.
In the field of oil painting, you don’t have to worry about whether it is dark blue, light blue, sapphire blue or azure blue.
You buy it back, and if you want to paint a "good mood" blue sky, dilute it or not according to your feeling, and then apply it with a brush. If the color it comes out is what you want, then it is a good paint.
If diluting or not diluting the paint makes you feel lighter, darker, or even ugly, then it is definitely not a good paint.
This may seem normal.
But what if the paint you bought is a concoction?
In other words, whether you want a blue sky with a good mood or a gloomy blue sky, it can show it to you.
The reason is that your eyes have accepted this blue color from the beginning, and then you have also accepted this blue color from a psychological level.
It sounds weird, but that's what DanielSmith does.
For example, there is a cat sketch book on the market, which contains 12 kinds of paints. After parents buy it, children aged 7 to 13 can learn to draw.
DanielSmith followed suit, but tweaked the 12 pigments.
The result became that no matter how the children used the first drawing board, they could not draw as well as the children using the second drawing board.
Which one do you think parents should buy in the future?
So the company recruited many artists and crushed many established companies in less than 6 years.
If extended to the food field.
A traditional cheese or a cheese with psychologically suggestive colors, which one would you buy?
A piece of ordinary bacon or a piece of bacon with psychologically suggestive colors, which one would you buy?
A pizza, a grilled wing, a drink...
If it extends to the printing field...
If it extends to the field of dyeing...
Especially it is a non-toxic, pollution-free, purely natural plant color...
"This is indeed an industry with huge potential."
Yu Yang finally understood why Mrs. Smith came here in person, and then used the dock to try to prepare a 'blue pigment' and make it close to nature according to its characteristics.
Work until midnight.
Continue the next day.
By noon.
The office called and said that Jiang Quan had sent a batch of medical equipment, but asked for a payment of US$43 million.
Yu Yang understood.
If the old leaders in the compound cooperate with Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd., which leads foreign exchange investment, they will know that they have no foreign exchange, and they can prevent themselves from getting foreign exchange.
Then this batch of equipment will not be able to be settled, and will eventually be used by the old leader to invest in other hospitals.
If the family takes out the money after a period of time, the old leader will transport the equipment from other hospitals and give it to the family, but there is no need to withdraw funds from the hospital.
Of course, this is just speculation.
Yu Yang thought for a moment and thought that his hospital didn't even have an address, let alone installing equipment, so he simply let the other party operate it.
When the two sides fall out, maybe they can use this as evidence of killing the tiger.
Not long after I hung up the phone.
In the 3D aerial view in view, in Pingyang County to the east of Pingdong County, perhaps the land acquisition process was very smooth, or perhaps Pingyang had already made preparations, and sentry towers had begun to be built in many places.
Then it expanded from villages to towns and then to counties.
[You occupy 5% of the land in this area...]
[You occupy 7% of the land in this area...]
[You occupy 11% of the land in this area...]
Unfortunately, Binh Duong has a large population, and in some areas the size of villages is even larger than the area of cultivated land.
It is difficult for one family to occupy more than 50% of the land in Binh Duong.
Unless all villages and towns are bulldozed.
But this is unrealistic. After all, we cannot accommodate that many people.
Yu Yang thought about it and originally planned to turn off the 3D bird's-eye view.
However, it was discovered that the prefabricated box girders based on ballastless track technology had been transported to Xiaoqinghe using rails.
On the Xiaoqing River, above the three large bridge piers, when Taishi Road and Bridge contracted the Beijing-Kowloon Line Cross-Yellow River Railway Bridge, the JQ130 bridge erecting machine allocated by superiors had also begun operations.
The winch behind it lifts the prefabricated box girder from the flatbed truck on the rail, slowly moves it forward, and then carries the box girder between the two bridge piers.
Workers welded the box girders and tested the prestress, the bridge erecting machine moved forward as a whole, the rails continued to be laid forward, and soon the second section of prefabricated box girders arrived...
Yu Yang calculated the time, maybe the railway bridge across the Xiaoqing River would be opened to traffic tonight.
But such a construction speed is not very fast. In another time and space, the Sanyuan Bridge in Beijing was replaced with beams, and an overpass was built from scratch in only 43 hours.
Therefore, we still need to work hard.
After the Xiaoqing River Railway Bridge is opened to traffic, the ballastless track concrete components prefabricated in advance can be continuously sent to the east until the tracks in the factory are laid to the Tianwai Bridge.
While the project takes time, building the sentry tower is fairly simple.
therefore……
Yu Yang looked at the Dongyue Scenic Area in the 3D aerial view.
Counting the western suburbs of Tai City, and then taking over here, and then adding the cultivated land in Pingyang County, the family occupies almost 60% of the land in Tai City.
It’s time for Lao Dong to return to the place where his dream began.
So Yu Yang took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Leader, after much thought, I always feel that it is more suitable for you to move the city compound to Shili Camp for your continued advancement."
"???"
