Chapter 1881 What to do at the dinner table
Agriculture is something that Yang Dongxu has been insisting on wanting to do over the years, but it has been a bit tepid before for one reason or another. Even his acquisition of land around the world has been a bit stumbling.
But now all the problems have been solved, including those lands acquired abroad. Various traditional Chinese medicines are grown in mountain forest reserves and the like, and now some output has begun.
The farmland in Brazil and the black soil in Ukraine that we are targeting will become grain production bases from now on. Yang Dongxu has already planned to plant oil-extracting crops such as soybeans and rapeseed in these places in the future.
The Chinese people are not short of staple food, or in other words, although there have been bad news of one kind or another in the domestic farmland in recent years. But generally speaking, China's self-sufficiency ratio in staple food is still very high. Even if there is any gap, imports can basically meet the needs of the whole people.
What China currently lacks are various non-staple crops, such as soybeans and rapeseed for oil extraction, sorghum and glutinous rice for brewing wine, etc.
Growing staple grains is relatively simple. Basically, after automated agriculture becomes popular, it is basically no problem for one person to grow hundreds of acres of wheat. After all, everything can be machined.
The cultivation of non-staple crops, such as soybeans, is a bit labor-intensive. At present, the degree of automation of domestically produced automatic soybean harvesters is somewhat unsatisfactory.
At the same time, weeding and taking care of soybeans after soybean planting is also very troublesome. If the medicine is used heavily, the drug residue will be too serious. Manual weeding and manual harvesting without the use of heavy chemicals is simply not cost-effective.
In addition, the input cost of domestic agricultural production is relatively high. Compared with cultivating a few acres of land, it is better to go out to work and earn more than a month's salary. This resulted in a large amount of land being abandoned for farming.
Why does the state, after canceling various agricultural taxes, give farmers various subsidies per mu of land and provide various welfare policies to large grain growers?
The goal is to make farmers feel that farming is still cost-effective and allow them to return to the land, so that the security of domestic food production can be guaranteed.
However, no matter how much subsidies are provided, it is still a common phenomenon in rural areas across the country that people cannot support their families by farming at home and have no choice but to go out to work.
Therefore, domestic staple food production is still above the safety line, and other crop production is seriously unbalanced. This requires stepping up and regulating, and responsible entrepreneurs taking responsibility. Yang Dongxu is ready to take on his responsibilities.
After all, the international capital group headed by Meng Dushan is well known for its ambitions to lobby for the use of their crop seeds. Since he has this ability, Yang Dongxu has no reason to let these foreign capitals control the Chinese people's dining table.
Not just agriculture, agriculture is just the first step in his plan. In the future, the alcohol industry will include beer, liquor and red wine. Food industry, such as various biscuits, bread, instant noodles, etc.
These are all within his step-by-step plan. The food security of the Chinese people must be in the hands of their own people. We must not let America’s junk fast food culture such as Coke and cheese dominate the domestic catering culture.
"Although the first step is cooking oil, the wine industry must also contact them in advance. For example, beer brands such as Qingdao, Snowflake, Sejin, etc. can first contact them for acquisition intentions.
Furthermore, the domestic dairy industry, such as pure milk, yogurt, and even better-grade children's milk powder. We should also start trying to get in touch with and include them in the group's support branch plan.
Since we have decided to become a group, we need to be comprehensive in our efforts, involving the entire industry and the entire upstream and downstream supply chain. Even if you can't completely control everything, you still have to dominate.
In short, our domestic agricultural products and our domestic agricultural market can only be decided by our people, and those foreigners will let them go as far as they can. "
In the office of the chairman of Millennium Supermarket, Yang Dongxu and Hu Dashan were drinking tea face to face in the reception area.
The meeting just now that Millennium Supermarket was preparing the General Agricultural Group's line was just a bait for those company executives to get them all proactive.
Otherwise, I would have to poke and move like before. Without poking, I would be fishing in troubled waters all day long without any enthusiasm for pioneering.
Of course, the bait is not empty bait, and it must be done. But the bait is definitely not all, so Yang Dongxu had to communicate the general plan of the whole plan with Hu Dashan, the general manager of Millennium Supermarket, so that he could have a plan in mind and start making preparations.
"Understood." Hu Dashan nodded. He had long been accustomed to Yang Dongxu's generosity, but such a generosity would definitely encounter many problems. "When these plans are implemented, whether it is the Ministry of Agriculture or the Ministry of Commerce, I All can communicate.
But with my face, I can only communicate to solve problems, provide policy support, or take the initiative to speak out and carry out a series of promotion and promotion. I don’t have that face. As long as our plan is implemented, the sooner the better.
After all, international capital is not for nothing. Those people have been staring at the fat meat of Huaxia Agriculture for more than a day or two. Many have begun to penetrate and quietly acquire domestic agricultural companies. Without the support from above, our expansion speed will be very low. Not necessarily those big foreign investors waving banknotes in their hands are as fast. "
"I'll communicate this!" Yang Dongxu said.
He understood what Hu Dashan meant. Policy support was not only to support the implementation and development of this plan, but also to deal a certain blow to those uneasy and well-intentioned foreign capitals.
For example, in order to monopolize a certain domestic industry, a foreign capital begins to quietly acquire domestic companies in the same industry. Officials can terminate some ill-intentioned acquisitions on the grounds of protecting regional local industries and preventing monopoly. This will buy enough time for the development of Millennium Supermarket.
"During the expansion process, we will also coordinate the export of domestic vegetables and other agricultural products, such as the export of agricultural products to South Korea, Japan and other countries that cannot be self-sufficient." Yang Dongxu continued.
"what do you mean?"
"Now that we are ready to form a group, we naturally have to show off the style of a group. We are newcomers to agriculture. International grain prices are too fickle, and we are not qualified to comment now.
But as our base camp, I can still say a few words about China's export of agricultural products.
For example, when exporting kimchi to South Korea, there is no reason for the same products and the same quality. Even the quality of the kimchi we export is better than that of other kimchi, but the price is determined by the Koreans.
As a conscientious businessman, we do not engage in things that cause a food crisis or a vegetable crisis. But I buy my own product at the price it should have, right? Yang Dongxu said.
Hu Dashan nodded thoughtfully.
He summarized the theme of Yang Dongxu's words as - I have the final say on my kimchi, if you like it, buy it, if you don't, go away!
Although making a small kimchi as a bargaining chip is a bit unattractive, I have to say that this is really a big deal related to the Korean dining table.
Hu Dashan especially likes to handle Koreans, because in recent years, Millennium Supermarket has expanded abroad. Even though he is endorsed by Yang Dongxu, he is still being manipulated by many people abroad.
Among the people who teased him, the people from South Korea and Benben were the worst. Now that he can figure him out, he felt really happy.
