Chapter 376: Daughter-in-law becomes mother-in-law?

Within two days, Guo Yang met Xu Xuenong in the office, who had returned from a business trip in the province.

I didn’t even have time to change my clothes and shoes.

Wearing blue jeans and a military green jacket, the hiking boots on his feet still have traces of mud, and he is holding a specimen collection in his hand.

“Boss, I’m going to Fujian Province for a few days on business.”

"So urgent?" Guo Yang was a little surprised, and at the same time he reached out to take the specimen collection.

Xu Xuenong dodged for a moment, but still handed over the specimen collection.

“I contacted the Jatropha base in Fujian Province, and after communicating with the Forestry Bureau, I found that this period happened to be the period of high incidence of forestry pests in Fujian Province.”

“Go ahead, I will approve it.”

Xu Xuenong stood still and said, "Boss, I have to put the specimen back first."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "Can you give this book to me? I'll keep it for my collection."

"Well...I'm afraid that won't work. I have to take it back to the laboratory for molecular research."

Xu Xuenong refused decisively, and Guo Yang felt a little resentful, so he had to return the specimen to Xu Xuenong, who took the specimen and left in a hurry.

It seems that if you stay for a second longer, the specimen will be snatched away.

Guo Yang looked a little funny, but he also understood Xu Xuenong’s mentality.

Entomology once had a glorious history, but now it is indeed an unpopular subject.

Students in this major are either transferred in by accident, or they are fond of this career.

Xu Xuenong is obviously the latter.

Guo Yang has learned about the origin of insects in the center of natural enemies. Because it is not popular, there are still many gaps in this subject, and the collection of wild resources is particularly important.

The Natural Enemy Center has also been doing work in this area.

Specimen collection is one of them, and it was also Xu Xuenong's old profession: when the insect season (summer) comes, he has to go to the mountains to become a savage.

This is extremely hard work.

Specimens are not readily available. The more you collect, the more you know how precious and difficult the collected specimens are.

It is not impossible to give it away, but the people who collect the specimens hope that they can be of greater value.

Come back to your senses,

Guo Yang returned to the financial statements in his hand, which were Jiahe's operations last year.

The annual revenue is still over 100 billion, close to 150 billion, but the growth rate is only about 20% compared to last year.

Not too slow.

But Jiahe’s ultra-rapid development has encountered new bottlenecks.

The main reason is that both Tianhe and alfalfa are about to reach the industrial ceiling. The domestic cultivated land area can be calculated, and the annual seed sales can be roughly calculated.

Tianhe's market share has long been exaggerated, and it can only make efforts in the following directions: category expansion, industry expansion, and overseas expansion.

As the scale of Alfalfa has been reduced, revenue has inevitably declined.

Hexi Dairy mainly focuses on mid-to-high-end brands, and sales are still growing rapidly.

Other revenue growth mainly comes from companies such as Quanwang, Cereals and Oils, Shahai, and Denong, which together contributed more than 10 billion in revenue growth.

However, although the growth rate is slowing down, the overall profit margin is rising significantly, and the cash flow is getting better and better.

It’s just that the outside world doesn’t understand this.

The reason why he was reading the report now was because there were voices against Jiahe in many fields.

While Guo Yang was watching intently, Jiang Wen, the full-time secretary of Jiahe Cereals and Oils, came in.

"Boss, the media is once again rumoring that ADM is planning to acquire Wilmar International."

"It has been rumored for almost half a year, but there is no result." Guo Yang put down the report.

Jiang Wen said: "This time is different. In addition to domestic and foreign media reports, Wilmar International's attitude is also very ambiguous.

In an interview, Guo Guangfeng said that the poor competitive environment in the country has brought great consequences to Wilmar It caused huge trouble, so I almost didn’t blame Jiahe Cereals and Oils by name.”

Guo Yang smiled knowingly.

When Fengyi feels troubled, he feels relieved.

Jiang Wen said: "There are also people within the company who think that the operating conditions of Jiahe Cereals and Oils are not very good, and the losses are shocking."

Guo Yang stood up, walked to the window, stretched, and said, "The market share has increased, and so much money is not lost in vain."

Jiang Wen reluctantly showed a smile and killed the enemy. Eight hundred, the strategy of losing a thousand to oneself is really intolerable to most people.

“Everyone in the Jiahe Cereals and Oils Industry is calling for beatings now, and even National Grain is criticizing Jiahe.”

Jiang Wen handed over a newspaper, and Guo Yang took it and read it. There is a photo in the center, which is Yu Bo, the general manager of Guofang.

He made some comments on the current status of the grain and oil industry.

The general idea is that industrial changes have led to fierce competition, and both domestic and foreign capital are losing money and making money.

Guo Yang thought for a while and said: "Previously, when Guofang purchased soybeans overseas, it had to find middlemen and suppliers to order.

Now that domestic purchase channels are established, it can directly buy from farmers. Buying grain in hand, the cost of national grain has also become lower!"

Jiang Wen said: "But the investment in overseas channels of national grain has been spent, which is equivalent to repeated investment."

Guo. Yang smiled: "So last year's financial report of Guofang was still a loss?"

"We lost a lot." Jiang Wen couldn't help laughing, "Maybe it's as good as Jiahe Grain and Oil."

Guo Yang couldn't help but smile.

"Now that the national grain is like this, the rest of the international grain merchants will probably feel even more uncomfortable. No wonder Guo Guangfeng has changed his attitude."

Jiahe has long speculated that ADM may acquire Wilmar International, and also Made corresponding preparations: acquiring oil palm plantations in Indonesia.

We have already acquired one and reached palm oil purchase agreements with some plantations and companies.

Jiang Wen asked: "If there is a merger, how will the group respond?"

Guo Yang was calm and said, "Just be ourselves."

Jiang Wen was surprised, "Nothing. No matter?"

Guo Yang didn't take it to heart at all, "The more anxious Fengyi is, the more it means its strength is exhausted.

I changed my previous mind, and the more Guo Guangfeng kept taking it. This matter makes a fuss, the more it shows that it will not easily agree to merge with ADM.

It’s just Jiahe’s competitive strategy that makes Wilmar’s operations difficult. Soybean processing is broken, and corn processing Wilmar has no advantage.

The only high-profit product is palm oil, but Jiahe has also opened up a palm oil track in Indonesia.

If I were in Guo Guangfeng's position, I would be annoyed by Jiahe's dog-skin plaster-like playing style.

But there is no way, this is Jiahe’s advantage.

Jiahe can accept small profits or losses in ordinary edible oil processing, because it can earn corresponding profits in the seed and planting links.

In the future, Jiahe Cereals and Oils will also have profit points in high-end edible oils such as gallbladder fruit and sunflower oil, as well as deeply processed products.

As time goes by, Jiahe still has the advantage, and the current losses are nothing.

As for the actions of other competitors, you don’t need to pay too much attention. ”

Jiang Wen thought thoughtfully. The boss’s thinking was very clear, using the profits from other links to make up for the shortfall of Jiahe Grain and Oil.

At the same time, he had high hopes for Wengguanguo.

He didn't know how to evaluate it, so he could only talk about another thing.

“The National Grain Plan is to integrate Mengniu. Chairman Ning Gaoning said that Mengniu will surpass Yili and Hexi Dairy in 3 to 5 years.”

“Haha...”

Guo Yang chuckled directly this time, his tone full of contempt.

“Chairman Ning is a capable person, but let alone Mengniu surpassing Hexi, Yili can steadily beat him.” In the past six months, Jiahe’s business has indeed shrunk.

Reflected in the dairy industry, Jiahe, the entire dairy system, originally had nearly 400,000 dairy cows.

Now this number is not increasing, but decreasing.

This gives the outside world an illusion.

Jiahe is reducing the production capacity of fresh milk. However, the actual situation is that Hexi dairy cows are being replaced and the breeding technology of Hexi Animal Husbandry is also improving.

The yield of dairy cows is steadily increasing, and there is no need to raise so many cows.

This is also the core reason for the increase in profit margins of Hexi Dairy.

After Jiang Wen left, Guo Yang no longer bothered to read the reports. There were no major problems in Jiahe's business operations.

On the contrary, the structure is gradually improving.

Someone is just deliberately misleading.

Guo Yang took a sip of tea, then slowly opened the computer webpage and browsed industry and financial news.

This year’s No. 1 Document provides strong support for agriculture, which has led to a high level of investment in agriculture.

NetEase Ding Lei’s pig breeding demonstration base has even officially settled in Anji, Zhejiang Province.

There are also many other agricultural investments.

This has made many entrepreneurs pay attention to the agricultural track, and there are also many agricultural projects in angel investment projects.

Agriculture has suddenly become a hot topic in the past six months.

Traces of discussions and reports can be seen in agricultural machinery, seed industry, dairy industry, grain and oil industry, agricultural inputs, and even Internet + agriculture.

Guo Yang looked through it for a while and found many figures of Jiahe in it.

But Jiahe is a non-listed company and does not need to announce its financial results to the outside world. Like Cargill in North America, it is not well known to the world.

The outside world only knows that Jiahe’s strength cannot be underestimated.

Little did they know that Jiahe was already capable of ranking among the top 50 Chinese companies.

When discussing Jiahe in the news, they generally do not explore Jiahe as a whole, but make comparisons based on specific business areas.

For example, Tianhe Seed Industry, people like to put it together with Zhongzhong, Longping Hi-Tech, Denghai, Fengle, Wanxiang Denong, etc.

And Tianhe is too low-key.

Longping Hi-Tech has the name of a scientist, and has always claimed to be "China's No. 1 high-tech agricultural stock". It has also been reported many times, and it has always been very topical.

Zhongzhong and Denghai Seed Industry also frequently appear in the party media, especially Zhongzhong, which has excellent relations with many ministries and commissions.

Fengle is also a listed seed company.

These companies often appear in the public and society, and often cooperate with government departments to do some formal things, and their official image is very good.

In contrast, only Tianhe and Wanxiang Denong are private enterprises and are relatively weak in media promotion.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that the two do not care about these things. To put it nicely, they are more pragmatic, focused and sober.

The domestic seed market value has grown to more than 70 billion, and the two together account for half of the country, totaling about 30 billion, of which Tianhe accounts for more than 28 billion.

In addition to Zhengdan 958, Wanxiang Denong has also successively acquired and developed a variety of competitive seeds.

Tianhe is already a de facto seed industry aircraft carrier. The Farmers Daily has reported on it, but in some party media articles, it is still maintained that the seed industry aircraft carrier has not been released yet.

“As an export-oriented vegetable production base, domestic seed varieties are facing the loss of all lines.”

“Foreign seed companies are forcing domestic farmers to buy expensive seeds, and China National Seed Group has renewed its M&A strategy.”

When Guo Yang saw such reports, he couldn't help but cursed. Some vegetable varieties were clearly regaining lost ground.

“You are blind!”

“Some people are really servile!”

But no matter how we publicize it, it is a fact that the concentration of the seed industry market has increased significantly.

What Tianhe needs to do is to slowly penetrate smaller markets and explore the upper limit of the market. 70 billion is by no means the upper limit of the domestic seed market.

Similar to Tianhe, under the financial crisis, the dairy industry, grain and oil, agricultural machinery, agricultural supplies, etc. are all facing fierce competition.

We have also encountered various kinds of neglect or some misleading public opinion.

As for those who know Jiahe, some people think that Jiahe’s strategy is wrong, unable to grasp the main line, and unable to identify the potential for business growth.

Some people think that Jiahe invested randomly, bioenergy has been regarded as an immature industry, and ecological governance is messed up.

Some people think that Jiahe is the Delong family, and blind expansion and investment will lead to the same ending sooner or later.

Guo Yang didn't want to pay attention to this.

He knows that what happened to Jiahe has something to do with him, and he doesn't want to participate in industry exchanges, nor does he go to gatherings of big names.

Jiahe's rapid development is also destined to make countless enemies, but these are not important.

As long as you keep moving forward, all obstacles will be overcome.

After watching the news for a while and drinking some tea, the unhappiness in my heart quickly disappeared.

As the weather got warmer, Guo Yang resumed his days of playing basketball and fitness after get off work, during which he met Kobe Bryant and Wade Jr. again.

However, Guo Yang felt that he was in pretty good shape, and he was able to play well back and forth with a few people in the team.

Once again successfully winning the rotation, Guo Yang smiled and said: "Your hands are a bit raw!"

"No way, it's hard to find a venue to play in winter." Kobe Bryant said: "I haven't practiced much in the past few months."

Guo Yang thought for a while, "Okay, it seems I have to build a basketball gym for you."

Kobe Bryant and others were confused, "That's not what I meant!"

Guo Yang smiled and said, "I think you mean it this way, so that's what you mean."

A Guo Yang believes that professional gymnasiums can be invested in and will be used by the group for large-scale events in the future.

The next day, Guo Yang was ready to explain the matter.

After Ning Xiaojing was transferred to Jiahe Biochemical, in addition to the standing secretarial team, Guo Yang also replaced two full-time assistants.

One Qi Ziwen, the younger brother of Yang Heng in the project team, is a graduate of Xinjiang Agricultural University. He has received funding from the Jiahe Scholarship and started interning at Jiahe in early 2007.

In the past two years or so, I have been selected into Jiahe’s leadership program and have become familiar with Jiahe’s various business sectors.

The other person is Zhang Jing, who was transferred back to the headquarters from Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.

Zhang Jing is one of the first batch of old employees of Jiahe. He has been living in the desert with Lu Hanbin for six or seven years.

Suddenly transferred to the position of assistant to the chairman, everyone in the company is speculating that he will also take charge of one side. Now it is just a transition.

Zhang Jing didn't care much about this, but was a little reluctant to leave his career in the desert.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Guo Yang raised his head and said: "The group lacks cultural and entertainment facilities. I plan to build a gymnasium near the headquarters. I will leave this matter to you. "

"Okay."

Guo Yang asked again: "I remember your hometown is from Yun Province, right?"

"Well, it belongs to Lu Liang."

"Where is Lu Liang?"

"A county in Qujing, to the east of Kunming." Zhang Jing asked: "The boss is planning to let me return to Yun Province?"

"Yes, I have this idea." Guo Yang said thoughtfully: "After the Shahai documentary and other materials are handed over, you can first familiarize yourself with the situation in the southwest. The project focuses on bioenergy and medicine. < br>
The main crops include jatropha, neem, pyrethrum, etc. I think you can take the time to visit Guangxi and Fujian provinces first

Jatropha cultivation in those two places should be coming to an end soon. "

Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, what is this, a daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law?
