Not to mention that Tietou from Wilmar International started complaining about Chen Yi and went crazy again. Chen Yi, who he complained about, is currently meeting with a group of big bosses from COFCO and the Ministry of Agriculture at the headquarters of Yihai in the capital.
Chen Yi sat in the main seat and slowly introduced science to a group of big guys about the production model of ADM, Blue Star's agricultural company with the highest profit margin.
"Agricultural profits are extremely low, and the amount of funds consumed to expand is also very large. As we all know, in terms of average profit margins, high-tech industry>service industry>manufacturing>agriculture, so manufacturing and agriculture have always been Two old and difficult industries with high investment and low returns!
ADM among the four major grain merchants of ABCD is the agricultural company with the highest profit margin in Blue Star. When ADM was first established at the beginning of this century, it also began its own transformation in the face of the dilemma of large investment and low profit margin in agriculture. , Standard Oil's approach of extending the industrial chain from a single raw material to the extreme inspired ADM.
I think everyone should have some understanding of the development history of the petroleum industry. In the beginning, after crude oil was refined, the remaining part could only be treated as waste, while Standard Oil used technology to continuously turn these "waste" into treasure. Slowly A series of petrochemical products such as plastics and fertilizers were produced.
It is also because of this that ADM has become the company with the highest profit margin in Blue Star Agriculture. In addition to using some non-technical means to connect the upstream and downstream supply chains, they also attach great importance to technology. Now let us forget those disgusting non-technical things of ADM. Means, this has nothing to do with production. The production model of adm is what we should pay attention to and attach importance to. Let me briefly introduce the production model of adm for everyone.
Just one soybean can be processed into countless agricultural, sideline or medical products such as soybean protein, soybean oil, soybean lecithin, and feed.
The same is true for other corn and wheat, but even if the potential of deep processing of agricultural products is fully squeezed, adm's profit margin is only 2.6%, and this is because adm has mastered the cheapest raw material supply channels in the world. Everyone should understand I wonder how unprofitable agriculture is.
The profit rate I am talking about is only the profit rate of agricultural products, but the majority of the profits of the four major grain merchants certainly do not rely solely on this. How do you think the four major grain merchants make money?
How could they achieve such a large scale if they really only make money by selling agricultural and sideline products? They rely on marine trade, logistics, scientific research, various high value-added technical services, and their monopoly on the upper reaches of the industrial chain. Become a banker in the futures market to earn high profits.
Making money these days is all about mental work. Who really makes a lot of money by doing hard work?
In my opinion, Wilmar International, a student of ADM, has actually begun to outperform others. In fact, I admire Guo Feng’s business operations very much. If ADM had not controlled the raw material supply channels, it is estimated that Wilmar International, a disciple who has been taught The master is about to starve to death. Wilmar International has actually surpassed adm in terms of production chain expansion.
Because of the raw materials, the profit margin of Wilmar International and Yihai Kerry is around 2.2%. If you change this simple decimal point, the profit will be in hundreds of millions.
The figure of COFCO was only 0.9% two years ago. After the introduction of de system to implement information management in the past two years, it increased to 1.3%. However, there is still a lot of potential that has not been tapped. I hope everyone can understand it. Think deeply about the issues.
Why can't COFCO surpass adm? "
After listening to Chen Yi's words, everyone was silent for a long time. Chen Yi's words were actually very clear. He almost pointed at a group of people's noses and said that your efficiency is too low.
Two years ago, almost all state-owned enterprises launched integrated management systems, but this is not unimportant. What is important is the supervision of the backend systems of these state-owned enterprises. The reason for doing this is to do everything possible. Clearly define powers and responsibilities to improve operational efficiency.
He can actually understand why COFCO, the leader of the national team, is so slow to transform. After all, reforming such a huge and bloated system requires many issues to be considered, and one bad move will cause big news that shocks the country.
Although a series of effects have been shown so far, with profit margins increasing by nearly half year-on-year, and revenue last year increasing by 40% compared to the year before, he believes there is still a lot of potential that has not been realized.
However, for state-owned enterprises, although making money is a certain consideration, it cannot be all about making money. It is certain that they are not as flexible as private companies like Wilmar International.
Guo Feng used the ADM method to extend the industrial chain from a single raw material to the extreme, and used all parts of the raw material to create added value. He was almost better than the previous one. If ADM had not mastered the advantage of low raw material cost and its own wild road, he said Maybe this student will really surpass him in terms of net profit margin of agricultural and sideline products.
At this time, a COFCO boss sighed and said: "But our technology is not far behind others. Really... is it possible?"
After saying this, Chen Yi actually found that most of the people present showed expressions of approval.
He finally realized where the biggest problem was now.
Mentality, everyone’s mentality has not been adjusted yet.
This sentence "Is it possible?" not only represents admiration for adm, but also lack of confidence in China's technology.
Those who are now in positions of power are basically those born in the 1950s and 1960s. The backbone of the force are those born in the 1970s. The new generation of those born in the 1980s and 1990s have not yet reached adulthood. Compared with the previous life, it only takes ten years to advance. Now The post-70s generation in this world roughly corresponds to the post-80s generation in his previous life.
I still remember that in the first decade of the 21st century in his previous life, there were constant rumors that a certain big country in the East was going to collapse. That was all. However, this was actually unanimously recognized by a considerable number of people across the country. The groups of recognition ranged from the bottom to the bottom. They range from clerks to factory workers to senior executives.
Opinions such as "In my lifetime, it is impossible for the mainland's economy to surpass Japan's, and there is no hope at all." There are opinions like "In my lifetime, there is no way to refute the various quotations from classics."
Well, it’s not like there aren’t people who are very confident in the motherland who are struggling to refute these views on the Internet. However, the most optimistic view on the Internet at that time was the view put forward by a netizen nicknamed Shining Saber: Mainland GDP will exceed 2030. Japan.
But even such a prediction that Chen Yi had a very "low self-esteem" before traveling through time was met with ridicule and scolding from many people, saying that he was too optimistic and was bragging in complete disregard of the facts.
This kind of situation was simply unimaginable in the time period before Chen Yi traveled through time.
He is now very curious about whether those people in his previous life who said "In my lifetime..." to such discussions were dead now before he traveled through time.
Although the mainland is currently developing at a rapid pace, driven by the chemical reaction triggered by Chen Yi, which is at least three or four times faster than in the previous life, many people's mentality is still stuck in the past due to the effect of inertia, or in other words, their mentality has begun to change. , but the speed of change cannot keep up with the speed of development.
In this era, even Japan dare not talk about transcendence casually. Regarding the beautiful country, this beacon of mankind, everyone subconsciously fell into self-doubt.
Yes, it’s self-doubt.
The big bosses who are qualified to attend the meeting with Chen Yi today are all the pillars of China. It is people like them who shouldered the heavy burden in the past difficult times and led the country to slowly develop and become stronger. Those corpses have nothing to eat but a plain meal. Qualified to attend meetings with him, this group of people also firmly believe that the Chinese nation will surely stand on the top of the Blue Star again.
But even among such a group, quite a few are not confident. When Chen Yi mentioned whether COFCO could surpass ADM, his first thought was not how to do it, but reflection on whether this goal was realistic. ? !
At the same time, Chen Yi also began to reflect on whether he had gone too far. Could this be the negative impact of being too stubborn?
