Chapter 635: Collective Course, World Gives Way

"In today's development of agriculture, agriculture and agriculture, it is no longer appropriate to constantly chase output, scale, planting area and price. As a matter of fact, the problem of the output of our agricultural products has increasingly become a problem of quality, and it has become more and more a problem of supply-side level, and it is necessary to change it. ”

"Since the beginning of this year, there are two industries in China's agricultural field that have made smooth progress in structural reform, and there are many bright spots. One is the soybean industry, and the other is the ginseng industry......"

Many eyes glanced at Qi Zheng.

This is the last month of 2013, at the National Agricultural Restructuring Symposium held in Kyrgyzstan Province, Minister Han of the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China was speaking.

At the forum, the main responsible persons of the agricultural (animal husbandry) departments of various provinces (autonomous regions) and representatives of some leading enterprises in national agricultural industrialization were invited to attend.

On another occasion, Qi Zheng may be surrounded in the center as a well-respected corporate leader, receiving cordial greetings and sycophants. After all, Jiagu Group is a predator in China in many fields of agriculture.

However, at this forum, Qi Zheng's left front was the vice president of the China Agricultural Development Group, which was formed by the merger of the former State Aquatic Products Group and the State Animal Husbandry and Industry Group; in the front was Ning Lao, the president of the State Grain Group, the largest agricultural product processing and grain trading enterprise in China; and in the right front was the representative of the State Grain Reserve Group, which is responsible for regulating the supply of grain, cotton, oil, and salt, and stabilizing prices......

On the left side of Qi Zheng, there is also the leader of the national agricultural materials group, which is a giant in the field of agricultural materials circulation, and on the right, there are senior cadres of the National Agricultural Machinery Institute Group, a benchmark enterprise in the field of national agricultural equipment...... A special water of agriculture-related central enterprises!

It is said that state-owned enterprises occupy a monopoly position in finance, telecommunications, oil and gas, and public utilities, and control the lifeblood of China's economy, but even in the inconspicuous agricultural field, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood and is in a basic position, state-owned enterprises are still fierce.

The word "ferocious" feels a little uncomfortable when it comes to the eyes, reminiscent of those flood beasts, but many times it does reflect the image of state-owned enterprises very well.

After more than 30 years of development of private enterprises, we can still feel that private enterprises and state-owned enterprises are the same sentence - inequality.

For example, at such a national symposium, among the representatives of the invited enterprises, there is only one single seedling of private enterprises - Jiagu, which is because the theme of the meeting is closely related to Jiagu.

Because of this, there is an atmosphere of common hatred and hatred in the team of corporate representatives.

Minister Han on the stage didn't notice this situation, or even if he did, he didn't care.

His loud voice continued to echo in the venue: "From the revitalization of the soybean industry and the ginseng industry, we can see that the new round of agricultural restructuring is different from the past, and it is not just to stay at the level of a variety of things and less plants, but to better connect with the domestic and foreign market demand, more fully concentrate resources in advantageous production areas, based on the first industry, and connect the 'two' and 'three', so as to lengthen the agricultural industrial chain, increase the added value of agriculture, and form a complete industrial chain." For example, the soybean industrial park in Hei Province, for example, people from Kyrgyzstan Province participate in the industrial park ......"

Mr. Ning of the National Food Group opened his mouth and finally lowered his head.

Although the business of the Guoliang Group involves almost all important agricultural products such as rice, wheat, corn, oil, oil, oil, oil, sugar, cotton, meat, wine, tea, etc., because the prices of most agricultural products in the world are obviously lower than those of the domestic market, the willingness of the national grain to import and export agricultural products is getting stronger and stronger.

“...... Today, it can still be seen that technology is not only the primary productive force to promote agricultural transformation and upgrading, but also the most effective means to promote agricultural cost saving and efficiency. Only when agricultural science and technology innovation is advanced can agriculture be competitive. The revitalization of the soybean industry is inseparable from 'Jiadou No. 13', and the revival of the ginseng industry is also inseparable from the ...... of 'all-proposed planting technology'."

The vice president of China Agricultural Development Group had expected it, and patted his thigh with a wry smile.

As the largest and most comprehensive agricultural central enterprise in the country, China Agricultural Development Group may not have a good reputation, but look at its subordinate enterprises, the National Aquatic Products, China Animal Husbandry Group, and the National Agricultural Reclamation Group...... Their business involves fishery and aquatic products, agricultural and sideline food, agricultural reclamation and development, animal husbandry and other agricultural fields, which to a large extent overlaps with Jiagu Group; it has a better production resources and environment, but it has not achieved revolutionary innovation in any field, and there is nothing to say.

Minister Han's comments continued: "In the new era, the way of agricultural management should also be changed, and the key is to cultivate a new type of agricultural management entity, and self-sufficient small farmers will never be able to achieve agricultural modernization." Soybean associations and cooperatives, which are highly integrated in the soybean industry, as well as ginseng planting alliances, are good examples......

The representative of Sinochem Group crooked his mouth, and his face was full of stupidity.

With an annual sales volume of more than 10 million tons, Sinochem Fertilizer, a subsidiary of Sinochem Group, is one of the largest fertilizer companies in China and even the world, and is also one of the largest seed and pesticide enterprises in China.

"The adjustment of the agricultural structure in the northeast region is a profound change, and with a good start, the central government hopes to continue to deepen the ......."

Minister Han is like hating Jiagula, and every time he summarizes a point, he has to give examples of the bright spots of the soybean industry and the ginseng industry.

Although "Jiagu" was not mentioned in the whole process, Jiagu is everywhere - who here doesn't know that this is basically Jiagu's handwriting.

In other words, Minister Han is commending Jiagu.

- Anyway, Qi Zheng is here to attend the commendation meeting.

With bright or dark lingering eyes, Qi Zheng sat steadily, looking at the middle-aged and elderly central enterprise cadres in front and back, as if smiling.

In the coming period, the United States will introduce a quantitative easing policy, increase international trade barriers, changes in investment and trade rules, and other external factors; its traditional advantages are slowly being lost, and various means of production and costs are gradually rising, squeezing profit margins and other internal factors, and the competitive environment facing both private and state-owned enterprises will become increasingly complex.

Especially in the field of agriculture, this is not only a competition for financial resources behind it, but also a comprehensive contest of efficiency and effectiveness.

The first "fierce medicine" given by Jiagu is transformation and upgrading. Adjusting and optimizing the structure and improving the efficiency of resource allocation are indispensable in this prescription.

Naturally, from the mouth of the Minister of Agriculture, two years in advance, I heard the fresh expression of "agricultural supply-side structural reform".

In the past, the state's macroeconomic regulation and control of agriculture adopted a strategy of stimulating production by means of storage, subsidies and other means - well, the supply side is desperately producing, resulting in overcapacity, so that resources are overconsumed and pollution is aggravated.

Qi Zheng knows the future reform needs of agriculture, and Jiagu is also developing in this direction, so the domestic soybean industry and ginseng industry, which are not large, have a new look this year.

Starting from supply, improving the supply structure has achieved remarkable results in both the soybean industry and the ginseng industry; Qi Zheng hopes that the state will see it, and the country will also see it, and this will lead to the "supply-side reform of agricultural products."

Of course, the concept is only now being proposed, and there is still a certain distance from the official advancement, but this is the direction of the wind at the top!

The senior cadres of state-owned enterprises participating in the meeting are all elites, and they may not understand technology, but they will definitely look at the direction of the wind - the guys who can't look at the direction of the wind have long been kicked out in round after round of screening.

Therefore, when entering the stage of discussion and exchange, when Qi Zheng mustered up the desire to fight, he was faced with old faces with "kind eyebrows and kind eyes".

Mr. Ning of the National Food Group was the first to find Qi Zheng: "Dong Qi, I heard that Jiagu's integration of Gaohong in the United States is very smooth?"

Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily and said, "Yes, we are well prepared, and the integration effect is naturally good." ”

Mr. Ning smiled and said congratulations again, and then said in a low voice: "We are ready to acquire Noble Group." ”

Qi Zheng suddenly seemed to have come earlier than he remembered, but that wasn't the point: "What can I do?"

"I was thinking that in the process of Guoliang buying Noble, it would be great if Jiagu Group could help. Once we successfully acquire Noble, we also hope that Guoliang and Jiagu will be able to communicate with each other overseas. ”

No matter how you look at it, Jiagu Group has more experience in international mergers and acquisitions than Guoliang Group, and there is no doubt that it has helped it in its acquisition of Noble Group.

Mr. Ning's request did not exceed Qi Zheng's expectations, and he agreed: "No problem." I give you a promise. ”

In any case, it is not a bad thing for Jiagu to go overseas for the national grain, and the Noble Group is not the target of Jiagu anyway.

As a competitor, Guoliang can ask Jiagu for help, which is also the result of Jiagu's reputation accumulation over the years.

When it comes to prestige, you can't see it or touch it, but when it is appropriate, it can play a role.

Over the years, Jiagu has not only made practical achievements, but also won a large number of supporters.

At the same time, Jiagu is also China's largest consumer of agricultural machinery, China's largest consumer of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and China's largest single investor in agricultural scientific research.

Therefore, after Mr. Ning of the National Food Group opened the valve, Qi Zheng's side became harmonious and prosperous.

"Jiagu has a lot of potential in agricultural research, and we want to cooperate with your laboratory. We have also imported some good seeds, which can be exchanged with Jiagu...... "The vice president of China Agricultural Development Group said with emotion, as if he was talking about the results of his own research.

"The easiest direction to cooperate should be the cooperation between the agricultural material business and the cooperative. What we need most now is not good seeds, but organizations. "The representative of Sinochem Group is half explaining, half is still educational, and the others who listened rolled their eyelids.

"No matter what kind of inputs are used or what kind of varieties are planted, advanced agricultural machinery and equipment are indispensable. Qi Dong, our Agricultural Machinery Institute will cooperate with Jiagu to create greater advantages in the structural reform of the agricultural supply side. "This one is imposing. Of course, the central enterprises of agricultural equipment are also one of the few enterprises that can be tough in front of Jiagu, after all, Jiagu has always been based on cooperation in agricultural equipment.

At this moment, the heads of these state-owned enterprises have chosen to show goodwill to Qi Zheng, at the very least, to hide their hostility for the time being.

Very simply, it also has advantages in terms of government resources and credit support, and has the advantages of being flexible for private enterprises, as long as Jiagu remains vigilant when it is prosperous and makes less hot-headed mistakes, it will not lack living space for a long time.

It can be seen from Minister Han's speech that the top level has formed a collective will that transcends individual will - no matter what kind of ownership enterprise it is, whoever has the ability to earn face for China will support whom, and whoever is stronger and better is China's pride.

To follow this thinking is to make a contribution to the country, and to go against this thinking is to deviate from the course of the collective.

Qi Zheng's mentality is even more relaxed.

As the saying goes, when you're good enough, the whole world will make way for you.
