Chapter 13 Hannover Agricultural Machinery Exhibition
Upon waking up, Guo Yang opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the unfamiliar roof.
Close your eyes, open them again, and get up. It’s just past five o’clock in the morning.
Opening the window, the first breeze of the morning blew in, and the elegant breath was refreshing.
Guo Yang walked out of the room and wandered around the farm.
I thought he got up early enough, but I didn't expect that someone else got up earlier than him.
I saw that the lights in the direction of the cowshed had been turned on, and the figures were reflected on the wall walking around. From time to time, the barking of dogs and the mooing of cows could be heard.
He adjusted his steps unconsciously. After getting closer, Guo Yang saw clearly that Victor and Lisa were busy herding cattle to graze.
The cows with black and white stripes walked out of the cowshed and walked to the special pasture driven by the sheepdog Buck.
The cows are very docile, and there is Buck walking around, so the entire herd is still quite orderly even though there are more than 200 cows, large and small.
After saying hello to Victor and Lisa, Guo Yang found that there was nothing he could do to help, so he followed the herd towards the pasture.
As the sun slowly rises from the sky, the grassland is covered with layers of red light, and the dew on the grass reflects the shining light. The cattle walked on the pasture, sometimes raising their heads to look around, sometimes lowering their heads to chew a few mouthfuls of green grass.
The space between heaven and earth suddenly opens up, presenting a touching pastoral farm scenery.
Guo Yang was a little stunned for a moment.
“Go back, you must go back, go back to the northwest!” Guo Yang fell into deep thought.
The World Cup has entered the knockout rounds and is not far from the end.
At this time, he has accumulated nearly 1.1 billion yuan in funds. He will also receive a sum of money after the games between Brazil and England and Germany and the United States on the 21st today.
Previously, Guo Yang always wanted to save more money because he had seen the cruel competition in agriculture in later generations.
In Guo Yang’s memory, many companies that were prosperous in other industries gradually fell into quagmire after switching to agriculture, and some even went bankrupt as a result.
He was originally just an ordinary farmer. His area of one or two thousand acres was a lot compared to ordinary farmers, but compared to those capital predators, it was still far from enough.
The seed industry he is about to enter is also the core area for competition among international agrochemical giants in the future.
Since 2015, there has been a wave of mergers in the global agrochemical field.
Dow and DuPont, the two largest chemical companies in the United States, announced their merger,
Sinochem acquired Swiss Syngenta in all cash for more than 40 billion US dollars,
Bayer 660 The US$100 million acquisition of Monsanto...
However, this is just the beginning for the capital game in the field of agricultural inputs.
After watching the scenery on the grassland for a while, Guo Yang's thoughts gradually became clearer.
After attending this international agricultural machinery exhibition, it was time for him to return to the Northwest.
There is already enough money. More than one billion dollars can fully accomplish a great undertaking in this era.
Back in the room, Catherine, the eldest sister, has prepared a sumptuous breakfast for everyone.
Bread, honey, cheese, eggs, cereals and drinks.
But at this time Guo Yang was already focused on the agricultural machinery exhibition he was about to attend.
……
Hannover International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition, on site.
Guo Yang, Fran, and Victor followed the huge flow of people into the exhibition hall. Victor's family did not follow them. There were too many things to do on the farm.
The exhibition hall was also crowded with people, and every agricultural machine was crowded with people.
Vikra introduced to everyone: "This exhibition has attracted more than 2,000 companies from more than 40 countries around the world to showcase the latest products and technologies. It is also expected that more than 400,000 people will attend this exhibition. Professional audiences gather here, and suppliers, distribution agents, users and industry experts from all over the world will have various exchanges here.”
Guo Yang was not surprised to hear Victor’s introduction. I already knew the relevant information.
The Hannover International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition, founded in 1985, is the world's largest professional international exhibition for machinery and equipment used in the agricultural field.
With the advantage of time and location, German enterprises with certain strength will come to participate in the exhibition.
In the European and American markets, German agricultural machinery is a powerful force. In the field of main machines, Claas is one of the top 5 companies in the world. It is known as a harvesting expert and is the largest agricultural machinery manufacturer in Europe.
In the livestock equipment industry, there is the world-renowned Croni Company, which is known as the Rolls-Royce of livestock harvesters. The world's largest silage machine is produced by Croni .
In the tractor industry there is Fendt, a top global brand alongside John Deere.
In the field of agricultural machinery, there are three powerful players: Leken, Amazon and Haoshi.
In the fertilizer spreader industry, there is Aohe...
In short, there are countless well-known agricultural machinery companies in Germany.
In addition, John Deere, Case New Holland, AGCO, Kubota and other multinational companies also participated in the exhibition.
The targets of Guo Yang’s trip are also mainly these world-leading multinational companies.
For the sake of convenience, Guo Yang said to several people: "There are too many people, let's go see them separately."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Victor named a restaurant where everyone would gather for dinner at noon.
Afterwards, Guo Yang separated from a few people and went to the John Deere booth.
Agricultural machinery information began to be collected around tractors. John Deere is also the world's top tractor manufacturer.
For Guo Yang at present, a high-horsepower tractor is the most important thing.
The northwest region has vast land, but lacks advanced large-scale agricultural machinery.
The existing large-scale agricultural machinery has been in service for a long time, and its technical status, power performance, and economic performance have all declined rapidly, and it can no longer meet the existing needs.
What’s more, Guo Yang plans to improve the saline-alkali land to accumulate natural energy. Improving the saline-alkali land will definitely involve deep plowing of the land or even eradicating the surface saline-alkali soil, and large-scale operating machinery will definitely be indispensable.
It’s just that the speed of collecting agricultural machinery information is too slow, especially in the last few percentage points. Guo Yang feels that the speed is like constipation, which makes people worry.
“…99%…99.5%…99.99%…”
After finally completing the collection of John Deere’s new tractors, Guo Yang changed to another one without stopping and had already paid attention to it. machinery.
The morning passed quickly, and Guo Yang also collected information on 8 agricultural machines, which on average took at least half an hour to complete one machine.
That’s 16 units a day.
According to Guo Yang’s understanding, there are more than 5,000 varieties of agricultural machinery and more than 10,000 units (sets) of agricultural machinery and equipment in the entire exhibition...
The efficiency is too slow, Guo Yang has already made up his mind The next three days of the idea exhibition were spent here.
And the target is mainly set on the top and most important agricultural machinery products.
Especially companies such as Claas, Fendt, John Deere, Kubota, and Yanmar, and their products are mainly focused on power machinery, farmland seeding machinery, livestock machinery, grain harvesting machinery, and other machinery.
As for other agricultural machinery brands, he may not even have time to visit them.
At noon, when Guo Yang arrived at the restaurant Victor mentioned, the restaurant was also very busy.
And there is a screen in the center of the hall that is live broadcasting the quarter-finals of the World Cup between Germany and the United States.
The enthusiasm of the German people for the World Cup and football will not be lost to any country in the world.
But Guo Yang was not very interested in this game. The lottery ticket he bought yesterday was for the game between England and Brazil. The result of the game had already been announced. Brazil lived up to expectations and eliminated England 2:1.
After entering the restaurant and finding Fran, Victor and others, Guo Yang concentrated on cooking.
I only saw eight agricultural machinery in the morning, and he showed an expression of extreme interest in agricultural machinery, allowing the staff at the booth to introduce him to him many times.
In order to deal with these staff members, Guo Yang also spent a lot of energy.
After eating, we took a short rest in the restaurant. Before the game in Germany ended, Guo Yang returned to the exhibition hall to collect agricultural machinery information.
Although boring, it made him feel very fulfilled.
