Kaya and Marubeni Trading Company once again went toe-to-toe with each other.

When it comes to the sustainability of future development in the Far East, it is of course necessary to make every effort to demonstrate one's own value while devaluing the value of the other party.

From seeds to farm machinery to operations teams, they strive to be the best they can be.

Vasily was happy with the rivalry between the two families, or rather, this was what he wanted.

Don't look at Lao Maozi scaring the island country all day long, bombers fly around the island country at every turn. But in terms of economic and trade cooperation, Lao Maozi likes to play with island people from top to bottom.

On the contrary, Lao Maozi has always maintained an ambivalent mentality towards emerging neighbors - intellectually knowing that the other party is a natural strategic partner, but emotionally feeling an inexplicable fear of its potential.

As for the island countries, after all, the Far East faces it across the sea, and if relations are good, and they dare not provoke trouble, then the problem of the Far East's economic lag will not be solved?

Qi Zheng is well aware of Lao Maozi's ambivalence, and to put it bluntly, it is the vigilant mentality towards the strong and the indulgent mentality towards the weak.

At the national level, Qi Zheng was powerless, but when it came to agricultural development in the Far East, he was unwilling to let Lao Maozi's wishes come true.

Then rely on performance to see the real chapter.

The soybean seeds introduced by Kaya and Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd. are all excellent varieties cultivated by their respective families, and at least from the published data, they are comparable in terms of yield and oil yield, and the two sides are tied.

And in agricultural machinery, the gap manifests itself.

Mechanized planting is inevitable for hundreds of thousands of hectares of farms, and both Kaya and Marubeni have chosen to lease some agricultural machinery locally, and then lease some agricultural machinery from China to the Far East to replenish.

After all, it is the first year of cooperation, and no one dares to determine what the situation will be next year, and it is a risk to buy agricultural machinery by itself.

The agricultural machinery leased by everyone in the Far East is almost the same, but from the agricultural machinery introduced in China, it can be seen that the gap between the two sides is the same. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net

The large agricultural machinery leased by Jiagu from China entered the Far East from the Heihe port, and a queue of trucks lined up. Qi Zheng greeted the convoy on the Far East side with employees who had come in advance.

Akio Ota rushed over when he heard the news, and after seeing the long convoy, he smiled and said to Qi Zheng: "Your machinery and equipment are a week later than ours. ”

"The land hasn't completely frozen, so it doesn't matter if it's early or late, isn't it?" Qi Zheng was unmoved.

The farm equipment leased by Marubeni Trading Company from the island nation was shipped to the Far East by ship a week ago, and is now stationed on the farm.

"Multinational operations always have an impact on Kaya's efficiency, right?" said Akio Ota with an understanding expression.

Qi Zheng glanced at him and said lightly: "Our farm area is larger, and we need more machinery, so of course we will be a little nervous about time." ”

Ota Akio said with a smile: "I have to hurry up, I see that the land is about to be prepared, and the machinery and equipment will be repaired and inspected after the arrival of the site, the farm is large, there are many machinery, and the management difficulty is also high." ”

"Oh, is it?" Qi Zheng said in a meaningless tone, watching the convoy pass through the pass.

Akio Ota also took advantage of the situation to look at the approaching convoy, and then smiled lightly: "Is Katani's funds very tight? I don't think the machinery and equipment you lease are advanced. ”

Qi Zheng has seen the agricultural machinery shipped from China by Marubeni Trading Company, and it is indeed advanced, take the seeder as an example, they have introduced an air-suction seeder, which can sow more than 800 acres of soybeans a day.

In contrast, the "fleet" of large tractors and seeders in front of us is nothing more than a four-row precision seeder, with a daily sowing area of more than 150 acres.

Not to mention, the new look of the machinery and equipment introduced by Marubeni Trading Company is like a white swan and a gray duck compared to the equipment in front of him, which is obviously "experienced in a hundred battles".

Qi Zheng did not admit defeat: "It's not that Jiagu can't introduce the most advanced equipment, but at this stage, the run-in between mechanical equipment and the team is more important." The teams I recruited from China are all with more than 10 years of experience in soybean planting, and they are driving the machinery in front of them and making great contributions to our country's grain and oil production. ”

The team in front of him, including the team members, was recruited by Wang Yuye from state-owned farms in China through his partner Jiusan Oil, and only state-owned farms in China can meet Jiagu's personnel and equipment needs.

Jiagu Group pays a labor fee to the state-owned farm where the team is located, and at the same time, during the working period, the team's bonus logistics and round-trip expenses are all borne by Jiagu.

Under the slogan of "Glory for the Country", several state-owned farms have given priority to sending their most experienced teams to overseas farms in the Far East.

Listening to Qi Zheng's words, Ota Akio smiled, and then said with a smile: "It's better to be more advanced in machinery and equipment than to simply improve the efficiency of the team, right?"

Qi Zheng glanced at Akio Ota with a smile, shook his head and didn't say anything.

As the leading grain merchant in the island nation, Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd. has established deep cooperative relations with domestic agricultural machinery giants such as Kubota, and naturally leads the way in terms of the number and sophistication of agricultural machinery.

And state-owned farms, both in terms of capital and demand, are beyond the reach of the most advanced agricultural machinery. And Qi Zheng doesn't think that the gap between a few dozen agricultural machines can produce a large number of Jiagu's farm management team and recruited labor force in the production process, or is it mainly Chinese?"

Qi Zheng said casually: "So what?"

Ota Akio smiled lightly, and said with some seriousness: "Qi Dong, I speak directly, don't you mind." You may not have much experience operating overseas, but in my experience, when you run an agricultural business overseas, you should fully consider the needs of the target country to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. Recruiting locals into the team as much as possible can greatly reduce or eliminate misunderstandings or resistance from the governments and people of the target countries. ”

Qi Zheng knew that Akio Ota had the confidence to say this. Marubeni Trading's senior management team is a market-oriented elite team that recruits a wide range of talents, regardless of nationality or gender.

For example, in the Far East, Marubeni Trading Company's farms recruited many old maozi, and there were places for them from management positions to ordinary laborers.

Jiagu also recruited a lot of laborers from the Far East, but more of them were Chinese people who had previously entered the Far East from China to develop, and they were fluent in Russian, and there was no difficulty in communicating with Lao Maozi.

Qi Zheng was noncommittal: "You have your considerations, we have our considerations, and what you should care about is to prepare more vodka for the employees you recruit." ”

Akio Ota's face froze.

Due to the labor shortage in the Far East, coupled with the different ethnic habits and work rhythms, Marubeni Trading Company was also trapped by the instability and uncertainty of the amount of labor used - Lao Maozi was not only an alcoholic, but also a more casual workman, which was indeed a big headache.

Akio Ota quickly regained his smile: "Our trading company has interdisciplinary talents who are proficient in Russian policies, regulations, markets, and customs, and have rich experience in transnational agricultural production management, and I believe that the run-in with the locals will soon be on the right track." ”

"On the contrary, although it is convenient for you to recruit natives, it is difficult for you to integrate into the Far East in the long run. ”

Akio Ota's tone was sincere, but Qi Zheng just smiled and didn't say anything.

Akio Ota seems to be thinking about Kagu, but Qi Zheng knows that he is digging a hole for Kagu.

Qi Zheng believes that Marubeni Trading Company has sufficient talents for multinational operations, and although it is a bit troublesome, it should not be a problem to run in with Lao Maozi. And Jiagu lacks such talents, if you recruit too many old Maozi, it will be a lot of trouble just to manage them.

What's more, now Kaya and Marubeni Trading Company are two ways of operation, and if Kaya takes the initiative to converge with Marubeni Trading Company, at the very least, it will make Marubeni Trading Company a big plus on Vasily's side.

Seeing that Qi Zheng had no reaction, Ota Akio couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "Dong Qi, at present, it seems that whether it is machinery and equipment or the management team, our trading company is better. Jiagu doesn't take the initiative to change, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to compare with us......"

Qi Zheng turned his head to look at Ota Akio, showed his white teeth and smiled: "Can't you compare? You said this too early, but it is just some external conditions, and the outcome depends on the result after all." ”
