Chapter 150 Visiting Sanyuan Chemical
Half a day ago.
After unsuccessfully searching for the Trinity Soybean Oil Factory, Phillips contacted Mrs. Smith and informed her of the truth.
The latter immediately summoned consultants for discussion.
Mrs. Smith is sitting at the ADM Asia Pacific headquarters and has not been idle during this period.
She not only found several psychology experts for Yu Yang to analyze Yu Yang's various motives.
A communication team was also arranged for Lao Yu, Yu's mother, Yujiacun, and even Yu Yang's relatives to be responsible for launching sugar-coated strategies.
The next step is to draw the business map.
From Shilibing industrial planning, to Dongshan agricultural product supply details, to the current status of many agricultural companies in the East...
It can be said that everything about the competitors is in front of them.
After a while.
Business consultants discuss the results.
After hearing this, Mrs. Smith stared at the business map and pondered for a long time, and continued on the phone with Phillips:
"The East is different from us. We have advanced technology and have been using the leaching method to extract soybean oil since the 1950s and 1960s."
(Leaching method: Use oil solvents to soak soybean raw materials, such as n-hexane, cyclohexane, and No. 6 light gasoline, to separate the oil. The overall chemical extraction has low cost, high oil yield, and fast production speed)
"Oriental technology is relatively backward. Except for one or two state-owned grain and oil enterprises that cooperate with foreign capital, almost all the remaining soybean oil factories use pressing, and most of them are small workshops.
Our intelligence system conducted a visit and survey on this. Like Jishui, the area has 335 soybean oil workshops, ranging in size from large to small, and some even use ancient manual pressing.
Furthermore, in poor southwestern Shandong and remote areas of Nanhe Province, people cannot even afford soybean oil, let alone peanut oil. They squeeze out the cotton seeds left over from the cotton bombs to produce crude cotton oil to improve their lives. .
It’s just that they don’t know that this unrefined cotton oil is even more harmful than the extracted oil. It kills sperm, damages the liver, and damages the nervous system..."
When Mrs. Smith said this, she got back to the point, "Sanyuan Agriculture can supply millions of tons of ink on time, which shows that it has sufficient oil extraction equipment and the scale of the factory is definitely not small.
Now we can't find a soybean oil factory, which makes me very suspicious. Yu Sanyuan used Dongfang's "break it into parts" and handed over the order to such small workshops in surrounding areas.
In particular, Dongfang's labor costs are very low and the equipment in small workshops has little technical content, so Yu Yang can obtain pressed oil at a low cost. "
Phillips understood, "Then Sanyuan Agriculture put these simply refined inks, or soybean oil, together, and then used its own technology to conduct secondary refining, so we have high-quality ink and Sany soybean oil."
"Yes, for now, this is the only explanation."
"What about us?"
“In the past, we were worried that Yuyang would produce and sell its own soybean oil. Once the soybean oil comes on the market, we would be able to start a price war with us regardless of the cost, so we looked for soybean oil factories.
Now there is such speculation, which shows that Sany soybean oil has a critical cost point. After all, no matter how low the labor cost of a small workshop is, people still have to make money, so what we have to do now is to confirm this.
Then bring the Arowana from New Canada to the East, and then support some local brands in the East, taking advantage of the advantages of oil extraction technology, with high oil yield, high output and low cost, occupying the entire Eastern market.
If Yu Yang lowers the price, we will lower the price even more than him, and even buy a barrel and get a bottle free. "
"Okay ma'am."
"Furthermore, since we suspect Yu Yang to 'break it into parts', we must find out whether inks and pigments are made in this way. After all, our strategy is to increase capital and expand production of Sanyuan Chemical."
"You mean, is it possible that Sanyuan Chemical is an empty shell?"
"I just doubt it."
"Then I'm going to check Sanyuan Chemical now."
"Um!"
After Mrs. Smith nodded, she ended the call.
Then, look at the business landscape again.
She wants not only Sany’s soybean breeding technology, plant-based ink production technology, and food coloring mass production methods, but also the Eastern soybean market and soybean oil market.
To this end, ADM is injecting capital into Sanyuan Agriculture to expand it, and at the same time weaving capital cages in many fields.
For example, in the field of soybeans, ADM includes all genetically modified soybeans in North and South America this year, with the aim of announcing a global soybean harvest in September, causing soybean prices to plummet, and shorting the futures market.
For example, in the field of soybean oil, ADM took advantage of the Asia-Pacific economic crisis. In addition to acquiring Wilmar Group in New Canada, it also acquired many grain and oil companies in Malaysia and India.
For example, in the meat market, ADM reached an agreement with three other world grain merchants to promote the East's accession to the WTO. The purpose is to open the East's trade door and facilitate the dumping of frozen meat.
Many backup plans were even made.
For example, after Sanyuan Agriculture went bankrupt, Dongfang did not want it to be controlled by foreign capital. At this time, the Smith family would send John Smith, who controlled General Motors, to ask the other party to acquire Sanyuan Agriculture in a joint venture in the name of a GM investor.
so.
"Little guy, surrender!"
…
Ten Mile Camp.
Yu Yang took Fan Tao on the EMU and returned to the Zhuanyao office area.
Phillips waited in the negotiation area for a long time, then stood up to say hello.
"Mr. Yu, you know that I like painting. If Daniel Smith's corporate headquarters hadn't asked for quarterly summaries, I would definitely not have exercised my rights as chairman of Sanyuan Chemical. Instead, I would have been painting and having fun until my term of office was over and I could have walked away. people."
Yu Yang showed a sincere smile, "Yes, Mr. Artist, I think so too, but who said we are just part-time workers?"
"terribly sorry."
"It doesn't matter, let's go, let's go to Sanyuan Chemical now."
Yu Yang said, calling the security outside, hoisting the AMG to the flatbed rail car, and then mounting it to the rear of the passenger train.
Then I took Phillips with me and took the passenger train to the end of Tianwaiqiao Line 1.
Then get off the bus and take the AMG Hutouben to Laigang City.
The reason for this is that according to public information, the Tailai Railway has been abandoned, and Line 3 to Laigang City is under construction.
If you want to go from Tai City to Laigang City, you can only take a car now.
This includes transportation as well.
So there are many transport trucks on the road.
Including semi-trailers, muck trucks, oil tank trucks, various engineering vehicles...
"Mr. Yu, with the strength of Sanyuan Construction Group, Line 3 should be put into use soon, right?"
"It's difficult. Look at the surrounding landforms. To the north is the southern mountainous area of Dongshan Prefecture, to the south is the Yimeng Mountainous Area, and to the east is the Yishui Mountainous Area. To put it bluntly, Laigang City is a poor ravine.
Even if we lay ballastless tracks based on the Taylor-Lai Railway, due to the different subgrade structures of the two, we have to re-excavate the track foundation pit, and the bottom is full of stones, which makes the operation difficult. It is estimated that Line 3 will have to wait until later this year. Fully connected. "
"This is really not good news."
"It's okay. We have enough tank trucks. Although the transportation cost is much greater than that of railways, we will ensure that every batch of orders can be delivered as scheduled."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yu."
"It should."
Chatting along the way.
AGM rushed on the suddenly crowded highway and spent a full two hours before arriving at Sanyuan Chemical.
As Yu Yang said, Laigang City is indeed located in a ravine.
This ravine is about 20 kilometers wide from north to south and 60 kilometers long from east to west.
In addition to the flat road leading to Taishi, whether you go north, east, or south, you have to travel through mountains and rivers.
And each mountain is forty or fifty kilometers long and horizontal.
In other words, if Laigang City wants to develop, the best way is to embrace Tai City and then integrate it.
Due to the narrow ravine, the limited land has long been covered with cultivated land and urban areas.
Laiwu Steel, a steel-making enterprise, has continuously developed its factory area to the southeast corner in order to avoid polluting residential areas.
Thus was born ‘Steel City’.
Sanyuan Chemical is located in the south of Steel City.
In the future, this place will be called ‘Xintai City’.
The vast mountainous areas to the east and south are currently planned as 'plant-based raw material cultivation protection zones', and a small amount of improved farmland and a large number of experimental fields have been paved.
Yu Yang took Phillips to the factory gate.
Upon seeing this, the security department quickly lined up.
The first two rows are 200 farmers responsible for cultivating plant-based raw materials. They were temporarily transferred to act as facades.
The 20 people in the lead are spearmen who protect the factory area and are also security captains.
Inside, there are a group of 'old monks' hidden by the muscular bodies.
And more old monks were carried in dozens of small sidecar patrol cars.
Of course, Phillips couldn't see behind.
He only saw 'maozi' who were more majestic than Europeans and Americans.
In order to welcome the chairman, the security department specially prepared several performances.
Like breaking boulders with bare hands.
Like throwing metal spears.
For example, real-life fighting with fists and fists.
Phillips was eye-opening, "Yu, where did you recruit so many special forces?"
"They are not special forces. They come from a legendary place, the Shaolin Temple."
Phillips was stunned for a moment, then sang: "Shaolin~Shaolin!"
"Hey~, by the way, I didn't expect you to have seen the Shaolin Temple."
"I just started watching it recently. It's very exciting. I just don't know who is better between them and Bruce Lee?"
"That's not clear."
As Yu Yang spoke, he led Phillips into a small rail car and started to visit the factory along the criss-crossing supply tracks in the factory.
First came the watercolor module, then the oil module.
These two are real industries. They not only have many equipment shipped by ADM from Wodao and Nanbangzi, but also have water purification systems purchased by Sanyuan Agriculture, packaging workshops, etc.
Coincidentally, the director of his own gift box packaging supplier, the Pingdong County Carton Factory, was observing several outer packaging design drawings sent by Daniel Smith with the person in charge of the watercolor module.
Upon seeing this, Phillips stepped forward to take a look, then exercised his authority as chairman, gave some instructions in American English, and then asked the translator to convey the message.
Sanyuan Agriculture’s Human Resources Department helped with the watercolor module and oil painting module. Corporate executives recruited from related fields, either in suits or scientific research attire, or wearing workshop uniforms, gathered around and listened carefully.
In this situation, it looks a bit like a big factory.
However, this is also nonsense.
The investment amount is so huge, and construction has just begun. The initial scale exceeds that of Laigang. How can it not be a big factory?
Therefore, after visiting the watercolor module and oil painting module, we had a working meal and interacted with the workers, and it was early in the morning.
Because there are three shifts and construction is going on on the other side, the entire factory is still brightly lit.
Yu Yang planned to continue tomorrow, but Phillips was in high spirits.
"Yu, I have a few works. In order to retain inspiration, I need to finish them as soon as possible. How about we finish the quarterly report tonight. After that, I will stop coming here and concentrate on painting."
"You are really a painting fanatic."
Yu Yang smiled slightly, but understood mentally that Phillips wanted to explore the reality of Sanyuan Chemical.
He took the other party to the commercial secrets area without hesitation.
That is, the Sany Soybean Oil Factory, no, it is the ink production module.
Phillips will definitely come here. Instead of passing the buck, it is better to bring the other party in generously.
Anyway, there are real equipment inside, and they are indeed squeezing 'ink'.
When Phillips walked into the ink production workshop, he didn't dare to talk nonsense because he didn't understand.
So the two of them introduced and listened to each other, and finished the ink module.
By this time, it was already 4 o'clock in the morning.
Yu Yang originally planned to take the other party to visit the grinding workshop that was launched overnight, that is, the 'pigment module' assembled using stone mills and stone rollers.
Phillips yawned, "Yu, we have worked very hard to complete the quarterly report. We should end it here."
"Really?"
"real."
…
Xiangjiang, ADM Asia Pacific Headquarters.
In the early hours of the morning, Mrs. Smith received the report prepared by Phillips.
Then I got a call from Phillips.
"Madam, Sanyuan Chemical is a real chemical factory with complete equipment, sufficient personnel, and even the security guards are highly paid Shaolin Temple monks, whose kung fu is no less than Bruce Lee."
"Monk?"
Mrs. Smith has lived in Shili Camp for more than half a month, and she has also seen Buddhist temple monks who work out their muscles early in the morning and late at night. "So, the Trinity Soybean Oil Factory is indeed broken into parts and consists of countless small workshops."
"What's our next step?"
"Start a publicity plan and use Fujizhen's resources in the East to popularize the dangers of crude oil, including semi-finished oils that are simply refined in small workshops, and then push the East to introduce new edible oil standards. We will take the opportunity to launch Arowana and Orchid."
…
Brick kiln office area.
When Yu Yang woke up, it was already the evening of the next day.
There are still piles of copywriting on his desk.
I picked up a few and looked through them, and they were all related to soybeans.
For example, the price of beans has finally stabilized, but the price per ton is as high as 2,300, which is more than one yuan per catty, which is ridiculously expensive.
But the futures prices are even more outrageous, with prices as high as 3,800 per ton.
“I don’t know how many people will jump off buildings after August.”
Yu Yang knew that once American soybeans were put on the market, the price of soybeans would definitely plummet.
At this time, if you short futures, you will definitely make a profit without losing any money.
The problem is, Dongfang doesn't dare to enter the game, so where does it have the confidence?
What's more, apart from the US$3 billion advance payment for plant-based raw materials, it doesn't have any foreign exchange in its pocket.
"No, I want to continue to cultivate myself."
"Otherwise, if we can't help but boom the ADM Asia-Pacific headquarters, things will get really big."
Yu Yang took a deep breath and walked out of the office.
Passing by the negotiation area, I happened to see Fan Tao and Mayor Huang, each carrying a bowl of Chinese medicinal juice for dinner.
"Tao, after much thought, I think you are the most suitable person to be the... helmsman of Sany Soybean Oil Factory."
"ah?"
"I believe you. If you are not satisfied with the title of helmsman, you can also call it trader to counter ADM's edible oil strategy."
"this……"
"Your two brothers were killed by capital, and we are now confronting capital. Don't you want revenge?"
"I definitely want to, then let me give it a try?"
"It's not about trying, it's about trying your best!"
"good!"
Fan Tao drank a whole bowl of concoction quite proudly.
Then he walked to Yu Yang and whispered: "Master, please help me transport a few boxes of iron hammers with wooden handles to Xiangjiang. Once I boom to the ADM Asia Pacific headquarters, this matter will be easy to handle."
"???"
Who are these people!
Yu Yang raised his foot and kicked it, "Do things well, this is a serious business confrontation."
