Chapter 388 Party; Sugar Scheme; Ping An’s Action
Guo Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and brought two people with him. They must have some business matters.
"It's convenient. We just have a rooftop farm restaurant in the capital. You can give me advice."
"Haha, this is something new again." Director Liu laughed heartily, "As soon as you mentioned it, I became interested."
"To be honest, this is my first time going there too."
After chatting with the leader for a few words, Guo Yang said to Yang Cheng, "Just you and me, and no one else will call you tonight."
"Okay."
Realizing that there were leaders involved, Yang Cheng stopped working, "Then I will go to the scene and keep an eye on it."
"I'll go with you."
The rooftop farm restaurant is located in a commercial district in Beijing. The building where the farm is located is not high, and the surrounding residential areas and office buildings are much higher.
The rooftop farm is built in the central open-air area on the top floor of the building.
Surrounding the farm is a beautifully decorated restaurant.
“The surrounding residential buildings and office buildings all have views of the farm, which is not suitable for high-level leaders to dine and inspect.”
Guo Yang and Yang Cheng went around and commented: "But it has the potential to become an Internet celebrity restaurant."
“What is an internet celebrity restaurant?”
"It's a popular restaurant created by using Internet communication." After a brief introduction, Guo Yang came up with an idea.
“For the development and construction of rooftop farms, I think Weiguang can also make a series of videos and upload them to Huinong.com.
Many people are interested in this kind of construction process from scratch, and it can also attract more people to join the construction of rooftop farms. ”
Yang Cheng's eyes lit up, Wei Guang had never had any idea of making a profit as a rooftop farm.
It is more of an urban pastoral life attitude, improving the urban environment, mitigating the heat island effect, and doing agricultural science popularization...
Basically they are all done for fun.
But if it can attract traffic and improve the business environment, it will definitely be better.
If I can help develop the rooftop farm business, I will have a greater sense of accomplishment in doing this.
"Okay, that Shimmer is also creating a rooftop farm series on Huinong.com."
Yang Cheng was quite excited, "Boss, do you want me to create a personal account?"
"Okay, but what are you taking pictures of?"
"Well, just take some videos of growing vegetables and flowers, which have a sense of life."
Guo Yang smiled and said: "I have an idea, but you'd better show some famous watches, luxury cars, etc. in the video, so that more people will watch."
"You are trying to say that no one will watch the video of me looking like this."
"You said it yourself."
The two walked around the rooftop farm and restaurant for a while. At about six o'clock, Guo Yang saw Director Liu downstairs wearing casual clothes.
There were two people following him, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a woman in ordinary clothes.
"Director Liu."
"Mr. Guo, I've been waiting for a long time. Come and introduce me to you."
Director Liu smiled, turned around and said, "This is Director Fan from the Medical Experimental Center of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences;
This person is researcher Lin Keqing. Speaking of which, Xiao Lin and Mr. Guo went to the same high school. ”
"Hahaha, it turns out she is still a school girl."
Guo Yang looked at the two people normally.
Director Fan has a chubby face, and his age is hard to tell.
As for Lin Keqing, she is inconspicuous at first glance, but after a second look, she becomes very interesting.
He is over 1.65 meters tall, wearing a pair of tight-fitting black trousers, a white T-shirt, and his hair tied into a ponytail on the back of his head.
At this moment, the junior sister who suddenly appeared was still a little confused on her face. She didn't know who she wanted to see before she came.
"Hello, are you Boss Guo of Jiahe Group?"
Guo Yang smiled and nodded, "Hello."
Lin Keqing was even more surprised.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Guo Yang led the people upstairs.
When he arrived at the rooftop farm surrounded by restaurants, Director Liu said in surprise:
“It’s so rare to have such a leisurely and contented place deep in this city!”
Director Fan smiled and said: "There will be another place to walk children in the future."
"I have learned a lot today." Lin Keqing praised: "Such a unique rooftop farm restaurant, it's hard to imagine whether it will become popular."
After passing through the corridor of the rooftop farm, the three of them arrived at the restaurant, where Yang Cheng was notifying people to serve food.
Guo Yang also arranged for the two of them to sit down, and a cup of Hanhai kenaf tea was served first.
Director Liu said to Lin Keqing: "Xiao Lin, try it. Jiahe's red hemp tea is one of the best."
"I've heard of the name Hanhai Kung Ma Tea for a long time." Lin Keqing smiled softly, "Jiahe is well-known in China for its research on certain Chinese medicinal plants."
Guo Yang is not modest either. Only those who have drank kenaf tea for a long time can realize the silent benefits of this kind of moisturizing.
Conditioning the body is itself a step-by-step process.
After sipping tea for a while, the dishes were served.
While eating the delicious food, they chatted leisurely. After a while, Director Liu made it clear.
"Mr. Guo, this time, the Medical Experimental Center of the Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences wants to establish some cooperation with Jiahe in the research of traditional Chinese medicine."
Guo Yang put down his chopsticks calmly, feeling something was wrong.
But if you think about it carefully, the Cistanche deserticola, licorice, Quanwang, and A. elegans energy forests in Shahai also have understory Chinese medicinal materials...
It seems to make sense.
Seeing that Guo Yang remained silent, Director Fan said: "The Experimental Center and the American Coca-Cola Company have also jointly established the 'China-Chinese Medicine Research Center'.
This summer, Jiahe's Jixiaobai has taken the beverage market by storm. It is not only promoted as a natural whitening product, but is also a healthy drink.
Therefore, there is a lot of room for cooperation between our two families. ”
Hearing Coca-Cola and Ji Xiaobai, Guo Yang came back to his senses, but he felt something was a little weird again.
After thinking for a moment, Guo Yang decided to agree first. There should be no harm in cooperation.
"It is an honor for Jiahe to cooperate with the Medical Experimental Center."
Director Liu was drinking tea on the side, but his eyes stayed on Guo Yang. When he heard his statement, he finally put down the teacup he had been holding to his mouth.
Director Fan then said: "Xiao Lin is in charge of the cooperative experimental center between the two parties. Who do you think is connecting?"
Director Liu cleared his throat,
"Lao Fan, don't worry about it. Brothers and sisters, it's better to let Xiao Lin communicate on his own than to talk nonsense here."
Director Fan wanted to say something else, but Director Liu directly handed over the wine glass, "Come on, have a drink, I haven't settled the debt with you yet."
Director Liu stared directly at Director Fan, who did not dare to say anything more and could only drink.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, Jiahe's ingredients have always been famous..."
Director Fan couldn't stop drinking.
Lin Keqing didn't drink, but ordered a bottle of Jixiaobai and touched it with Guo Yang.
"Mr. Guo, who is your high school teacher?"
"You've all asked about my high school class teacher, and he's still called Mr. Guo?"
"Senior brother, senior brother Guo." Lin Keqing immediately changed his words, "Maybe we were brothers and sisters in the same school in high school."
"I can't remember the name of the class teacher." Guo Yang tried his best to recall the memory of his predecessor, "The class teacher teaches mathematics, and his last name seems to be Zhang."
"Zhang Bo, isn't he?" Lin Keqing said: "He leads the experimental class all year round. He is not tall and likes to ride a motorcycle without rearview mirrors."
"Huh?" Guo Yang said in surprise: "What a coincidence?"
"Is it true?"
Guo Yang nodded. It was indeed a coincidence. Although he was a few grades behind in high school, he happened to be a class teacher.
"This...this..."
Lin Keqing was also a little incoherent. She was a little nervous when she came. After all, she had just graduated and was admitted to the Medical Experimental Center.
As a result, the leader soon found her and said that she would be given a joint research task.
When I arrived, I realized that he looked familiar.
The boss of Jiahe!
Although she is from Wuwei, she has also worked as a student volunteer in Shawo, carrying wheat straw, patching grass squares, and planting Haloxylon ammodendron trees. What kind of things has she never done?
I have been studying in recent years, but I have also been paying attention to the construction of my hometown.
Everyone knows about the feats of farmers and animal husbandry in Shahai to control desertification. She even paid attention to the Minqin Volunteer Association, but this small forum has now declined.
But the mood has also changed.
Due to the success of the sand control industry driven by the sand sea, the local situation is getting better and better, and the volunteer forum is also full of vitality.
Because things are getting better, there are more and more news reports, and tourists living far away have more ways to obtain information, and they don’t miss their hometown so much.
It can be said that the decline of volunteer forums is precisely due to the increasing number of desertification control companies and individuals like Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.
Now, the bosses of Shahai Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Jiahe are in front of Lin Keqing.
We even had the same class teacher.
Lin Keqing was happy, excited, and a little nervous, all kinds of emotions mixed together.
Her strangeness also attracted Director Fan's attention, "What's wrong, Xiaolin?"
Guo Yang took over with a smile: "It's okay, my class teacher at Xiaolin High School and I are the same teacher."
"That's a coincidence." Director Liu said: "If you have time, you two can make an appointment to go back to school together.
Mr. Guo probably hasn't returned to school yet. This will not reflect well on your reputation in your hometown. ”
At first glance, Guo Yang felt that this was indeed reasonable and nodded.
"It just so happens that the surrounding area of Wuwei is also an important energy forest and Chinese herbal medicine base in Jiahe, so I took Xiao Lin to see the raw materials."
"It's better to hurry rather than later. Your article about energy forests in the Agricultural Economics caused quite a stir."
Director Liu pondered: "But it will be published soon."
Guo Yang was surprised, thought for a while, and said: "I will stay in the capital for a few more days. I may have to go to Magic City and Pengcheng. I will have to wait at least half a month to return to Minqin."
Director Liu was silent, almost autistic. He waited for a while before saying, "You fight like an ascetic."
"I'm used to it." Guo Yang was told this, but he looked indifferent, "Stop, it will make you feel uncomfortable all over."
Director Liu: "..."
"Haha." Director Fan laughed and said: "It's understandable that such a large group is busy. Waiting for half a month is just right. Xiao Lin will be familiar with the materials first."
After a while, Lin Keqing also calmed down, nodded and said: "Well, I will go to the joint research center first. Mr. Guo, please give me your contact information."
"Okay, if you have any questions, you can contact me at any time." After saying that, Guo Yang gave Lin Keqing the contact information of himself and Yu Qin, and the latter also took out a flip phone and wrote it down.
"I'll call you when I'm done and let's go back to school together."
Perhaps it triggered the memories of his predecessor, Guo Yang also had a deeper impression of Zhang Bo, with very complicated emotions.
A former specially recruited poor student entered a high school in the city, encountered various setbacks, and almost collapsed.
Zhang Bo gave him a lot of help, but he still failed to perform well during the college entrance examination.
As a result, the predecessor has always been somewhat evasive.
In all these years, I have never thought of going back to see it.
After becoming famous, Guo Yang also received many invitations from schools, but Zhang Bo never showed up.
Taking this opportunity to go back and have a look with Lin Keqing, Guo Yang didn't seem to have any grudges.
After the meal, Guo Yang and Lin Keqing also became familiar with each other a lot.
The main reason was that Director Liu kept dragging Director Fan over to drink and chat, so it was not easy for others to interrupt too much.
Compared to Yang Cheng, a middle-aged subordinate, Guo Yang was more willing to chat more with the young and energetic 'junior sister'.
Moreover, after a long look, every part of Lin Keqing's facial features is just right, but it is hidden by her simple clothes.
If she puts on makeup and dresses up seriously, Guo Yang thinks she will be no worse than most female stars.
The two of them also have a lot of topics in common, whether it's their experiences on campus or about plants and Chinese herbal medicine, they can talk happily.
Speaking of interesting things, I laughed out loud from time to time.
Yang Cheng was the only one sitting in the corner, watching with concern, eating the food without any distractions, as if nothing happened.
But if he could do it over again, he would never propose a rooftop farm restaurant today.
at night.
Director Liu made a phone call and said, "Boss, I've completed everything you told me, but I don't know if that kid can figure it out."
"Keep your eyes on it and serve some snacks."
Director Liu smiled bitterly in his heart, what is this all about, but he said, "What if that kid notices it?"
"With his style, he can guess it sooner or later, but he is not afraid of his investigation. Although the man has been retired for many years, his granddaughter is not wronged by him."
Director Liu thought back to the happy conversation between the two people at the dinner table tonight, and said with a smile:
"If men are strong and women are weak, maybe that kid will have some fun."
…
Although Guo Yang realized that something was wrong, he didn't pay much attention to it for the moment.
The main reason is that I am too busy.
After spending another two or three days, Guo Yang took Huinong and Weiguang together and sorted out the things to be done in the near future.
1. The separation of B2C and C2C businesses, and the name of the new platform has been decided: Weilai Tianjian;
Second, the construction of agricultural ecological content such as articles and videos on the main website of Huinong.com, supporting UP owners and continuing to distribute money;
3. Development of microblog;
Fourth, if Weilai Tianjian goes online early, it can also get a wave of Double Eleven popularity in advance;
5. Mobile APP development for Huinong.com, Weilai Tianjian, and Weibo;
6. The merger and acquisition process of the Jahwa project will be followed up by Weiguang Company;
7. Preparation for large-scale aerial photography projects...
There are a lot of things going on, and it might be better if Tencent is involved, but at this point, there is no need to put in the effort.
Except for the main website Huinong.com, all other Internet projects are considered whether to be launched first.
If you catch one, you'll make a profit.
In the past two or three days, Guo Yang also took the time to look at the investment status of his various funds.
Several of these funds are registered in tax havens such as Luxembourg, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, and Bermuda in Western Europe.
In addition to tax avoidance, it can also reduce declarations and disclose a lot of fund information.
Regarding the specific situation of some overseas funds, unless the state makes great efforts to investigate, it will be impossible to find out who is the actual controller behind it.
But Weiguang’s investment focus is still domestic.
Angel, VC, PE, secondary market...Weiguang Investment covers a wide range of fields and has invested in many projects.
Some have failed, but others have reaped huge rewards.
Although there is a lot of chaos in domestic A-shares, it is the main place for domestic companies to go public.
If you stick to your heart and make long-term value investments, you can get huge returns.
After looking at various potential investment projects, Guo Yang selected some impressive projects for the following people to pay attention to.
When money reaches a certain level, it is basically just a number.
But Guo Yang has higher spiritual pursuits. First, he is to help the development of various domestic industries and become an entrepreneur rather than a businessman.
Someone once commented that Li, the richest man in Hong Kong Island, is a thorough businessman.
Guo Yang, on the other hand, is a traditional Chinese who values geese passing by leaving their voices and people passing by leaving their names.
The reason why he is still desperately trying to get money is because he has a bigger pursuit.
Projects such as Dunhuang Wetland, Desert Park, and even the Hongqi River are still waiting for blood transfusions.
If one day, all industries no longer rely on external blood transfusions, then he will not be as crazy about making money as he is now.
Can't stop now.
After everything was done, Guo Yang rushed to Pengcheng again.
On the way to the airport, Qi Ziwen sent two messages in succession.
First of all, Guofang’s Womai.com is already in internal testing. At the same time, it has launched the ‘Tunhe’ brand after ‘Yuehuo’.
The tomato juice in the ‘Tunhe’ brand caught Guo Yang’s attention because he had consumed canned Tunhe tomatoes in his previous life.
This is a brand with great potential.
However, the current Tunhe tomato cans are still the same as those produced by Delong, and this time they are also launching juice drinks.
“The construction process of Guofang’s terminal brand has been really tortuous.”
Guo Yang murmured: "If Tunhe works hard on tomatoes at this time, Tunhe shares may be renamed."
In previous interviews with Agricultural Economics, Guo Yang, Liu Deshu and Ning Gaoning all talked about overseas mergers and acquisitions.
Sinochem is busy acquiring Xinnong in Australia and an Israeli company to lay out the upstream and downstream pesticide industry chain.
Guofang used the Tunhe brand to expand the sugar industry in Australia and Brazil, but it was attacked by Bunge and Louis Dreyfus.
At the same time, Guangming Group, a veteran state-owned enterprise in the domestic sugar industry, also planned to acquire another sugar company in Australia, but was targeted by Wilmar International.
The rapid economic development has led to an increasing demand for domestic grain, cotton, oil, sugar and other bulk commodities.
Due to Jiahe's contribution to the seed industry and arable land, the domestic grain and oil situation has significantly eased.
But cotton and sugar haven’t settled yet.
Especially for sugar, which is a strategic material, domestic production conditions are naturally insufficient and must rely on imports. At the same time, a certain amount of domestic production must be maintained.
This extremely tests the wisdom of policy.
But it is also because of policies that Guangming, a state-owned enterprise, and Guofang's overseas mergers and acquisitions encountered foreign policy discrimination.
It also has to deal with the squeeze from four major grain merchants such as Bunge, which has already been in the upstream of agriculture.
It's very difficult.
But Guo Yangneng speculated that at least the national grain was successful.
Because the current Guofang Tunhe will be renamed Guofang Sugar Industry in two years, relying on the sugar import quota monopolized by state-owned enterprises, it has developed rapidly.
The import tariff for sugar within the quota is 15%, while the tariff outside the quota is more than 50%.
Jiahe will definitely not be able to compete with state-owned enterprises such as Guofang and Guangming in terms of quotas, so it has never thought of opening up a sugar battlefield overseas.
In the domestic sugar industry, Guo Yang is considering leaning here next time for breeding.
Having said that, Guo Yang was wondering if he would like to remind Guofang to put more effort into the development of Tunhe tomatoes.
Tianhe's sales of processed tomato seeds have not shown much improvement. Guo Yang believes that it has a lot to do with the current inaction of leading enterprises such as Tunhe.
Even if Guofang Tunhe is renamed Guofang Sugar in the future, investors' expectations for Guofang's stock price have always been on the tomato business.
Because Tunhe tomatoes have really gone global.
After thinking for a while, Guo Yang edited two pieces of information.
A reply to Qi Ziwen, asking the Internet to pay attention to the situation of the domestic sugar industry.
One message was sent to Qu Sheng, inviting the ‘Tunhe Tomato’ brand to participate in NIO’s Double Eleven online promotion.
Qu Sheng was numb when he received the news.
Weilai Tianjian’s promotional activities are not bad.
But Guofang had just launched Womai.com, and then ‘Tunhe Tomatoes’ changed hands and was promoted on Huinong.com? ? ?
This is noisy!
…
Guo Yang didn't know what Qu Sheng was thinking, but read the second message from Qi Ziwen.
It’s about peace and domesticity.
In interviews with the media, Ping An publicly expressed its interest in Jahwa Group.
Some media revealed that Ping An offered a sky-high price of 7 billion yuan to Jahwa Group!
There are even rumors of 10 billion yuan!
Ge Wenyao also revealed the latest progress in the media. Jahwa has no plans to sell within three months.
The underlying meaning is that in three months at most, the sale of Jahwa can be put on the agenda.
This and Ping An's statement complemented each other and triggered a lot of heated discussions.
“Recently, there is news that Ping An Group may acquire Jahwa Group as a whole at a high premium of 7 billion to 10 billion.
Among them, the high-quality asset of Jahwa Group is the listed company Modu Jahwa, which is known as the "No. 1 brand in Huaxia Chemical Industry".
In fact, since Modu City clearly proposed in September last year to "promote the adjustment and withdrawal of state-owned assets in general competitive fields," Jahwa Group has received countless marriage proposals.
But none of them were as shocked as the Ping An Group.
The high premium, coupled with the capital endorsement of abundant funds, has put Ping An Group at the forefront of all marriage seekers.
As the number one brand in domestic daily chemicals, Jahwa has placed too many expectations on it, and the domestic daily chemical field is also in urgent need of giant-level companies.
Chen Gang, deputy general manager of the direct investment department of Ping An Trust, said that after Ping An acquires Jahwa, it will invest 7 billion yuan in 3 to 5 years to turn Modu Jahwa into a high-end fashion brand;
And do not interfere with the daily operations of the management..."
There is a lot of information revealed by the media, and there are specific guesses about the promises made by Ping An.
Regardless of whether the news is true or false, it is possible that Ping An has raised its stakes again. Anyway, it is full of attention.
In addition to Guo Yang who knows the future, the society is generally optimistic about the combination of Ping An and Jahwa.
Before the plane took off, Guo Yang thought silently in his heart, "Old man Ge, you have to withstand the temptation!"
