Chapter 199: A False Shot
"Can foreign capital enter the domestic grain circulation field?" Qi Zheng really didn't notice this.
On the issue of foreign capital purchasing grain, it has long been stipulated in the protocol on China's accession to the WTO that China's grain circulation sector will be fully opened to the outside world, but there will be a transition period.
And it will not be until 08 that this transition period will be over, and there are still three years to go.
Zhong Huazhi of Jiagu Commerce and Trade explained: "At present, it is of course impossible for foreign investors to fully participate in the purchase, storage, transportation, processing, sales and other links of grain sources, but in this year's "Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries", grain storage and processing are clearly listed in the catalogue of industries that encourage foreign investment. In general, the pace of opening up is increasing, and the government has adopted an attitude of encouraging foreign investment in the domestic grain storage and processing industry. ”
Qi Zheng only felt that his eggs were in pain, so why did he open up this year when the grain reform was in full swing?
At Kaya's side were two giant beasts.
One is the giant beast of central enterprises - the State Grain Reserve Company. The country's "grain steward", Jiagu's grain grabbing object.
The other is an alien beast - Yihai Group. After mastering the terminal channels of domestic edible oil sales, they are now constantly establishing or acquiring flour mills and rice processing factories, and using vegetable oil sales channels to enter the grain consumption market and form a direct competition with Jiagu.
If the competition between the national grain reserves and Jiagu is not fierce, after all, the volume of grain purchases in Jiagu is far less than that of the national grain reserves, then between Yihai and Jiagu is a bare-chested fight.
Jiagu and Yihai Group have different growth genes, but they both show great ambitions for the domestic grain market.
From this point of view, the grassroots granary is not the ultimate goal of the two companies, but it is a powerful pedal for the two families.
In the gap between these three forces, the grassroots granary is destined to be unable to control its own destiny.
Zhong Huazhi continued to talk about the information gathered: "On the one hand, Yihai has increased its market share in the field of grain circulation by leasing the warehouse capacity of local grassroots state-owned grain depots, and on the other hand, it is also stepping up investment in the construction of processing enterprises in order to control the complete industrial chain. Look at 'Mao, Chinese, Net'
"The international grain and oil group has established an acquisition network in two ways. The first is exclusivity, which requires partners to stop cooperating with other parties. The second is to be low-key. As a leader in the field of edible oil in China, Yihai basically does not contact relevant leaders and local media when entering the main grain producing areas in China, acts extremely low-key, and rarely accepts media interviews. ”
"I estimate that this is also because of the country's sensitivity and restrictions on foreign investment in the field of grain circulation......"
After hearing this, Qi Zheng thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "Isn't Yihai fighting with us for the grassroots grain depot in Jiangyou Province?
Zhong Huazhi had already planned for this, "Well, I think so too." Isn't Yihai going to keep a low profile? I'm going to help him make a name for himself. Moreover, we entered Jiangyou Province one step ahead of him, which is actually a great advantage. ”
......
Sun Cang used to be the head of a state-owned grain depot, but since the restructuring last year, he has taken on the responsibility of running the state-owned grain depot as the director.
Before the grain reform, large and small grain storage enterprises in China were highly dependent on the state's financial support, such as policy loans from the Agricultural Development Bank, state financial subsidies, and drought and flood protection.
However, after the grain reform, a grassroots grain depot like him will have to participate in market competition and be responsible for its own profits and losses.
But it's not that easy to run.
It is not that the grain depot itself is unwilling to participate in market competition, but that the conditions are limited -- if it wants to operate a large amount of money, and it will be risky to operate independently, and if it wants to apply for a loan from the Agricultural Development Bank, it needs to find a guarantee from an enterprise, and his grain depot cannot find a qualified guarantor.
Therefore, when Jiagu took the initiative to come to the door, hoping to use the storage capacity of the grain depot as a substitute storage, this is of course a good thing for them, at least there is work to do, which can solve the problem of food and clothing.
The mode of cooperation is that Jiagu contributes funds to determine the purchase price and grain quality and grade, and the grassroots grain depot contributes manpower and storage strength, and the purchased grain is stored in the warehouse of the grain depot. As for what to do with the grain, it is up to Jiagu to decide.
Of course, Sun Cang also understands this cooperation model, in fact, this is the local grain depot and grain institute to work for Jiagu and help it obtain a large amount of grain sources.
But now is a difficult period for the grain depot, and the emergence of Jiagu plays more of a role as a collaborator or even a rescuer in the grassroots grain depot.
Moreover, there is no risk in this way of cooperation, and only the use of the storage and personnel of the grain depot can be profitable. In the difficult period after the restructuring of the county grain bureau, a state-owned grain depot like him was willing to cooperate with a well-funded enterprise like Jiagu.
"Our cooperation is complementary advantages, using your funds, our idle storage equipment and personnel, to help you purchase grain, can get profits, I am willing to cooperate with you. Sun Cang once said sincerely to Zhong Huazhi of Jiagu Commerce.
Until the intervention of Yihai Group.
Yihai Group's cooperation plan is similar.
In the face of the extraordinary strength of the domestic grain cutting-edge enterprises on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Yihai Group, which has been working in the domestic market for many years, has strong funds, has become the leader in the field of edible oil processing and is full of desire for the domestic grain market, Sun Cang decided to stabilize first.
In the future, their way of survival will definitely be to store grain for the national grain reserve and other grain giants, and charge a certain amount of storage fees per ton. Then the higher the savings fee, the better.
Sun Cang decided to wait for the two tigers to fight each other, so as to get an ideal fee.
It's a pity that he doesn't know that the "two tigers" can't fight at all.
......
Through the network established by the previous cooperation with Jiangyou Province to eradicate the insecticide, Jiagu started from two aspects.
On the one hand, the branch established by Jiagu Trading in Jiangyou Province needs to recruit troops, and a considerable part of the management and staff hired are from the local food bureau system.
The direct result of the grain reform is that a large number of personnel of the grain bureau system have been laid off, which has indirectly provided sufficient human resources for Jiagu Trading Company, and even some leaders who have retired from the grain bureau have also been hired by Jiagu Commerce. Zhong Huazhi explained to Qi Zheng.
On the other hand, the local media are also promoting Yihai Group's foreign investment status, which is not good for the country's food security. 、
At the same time, the Provincial Grain Bureau orally informed the local grain bureaus that for the sake of food security, they would not issue "grain purchase licenses" to wholly foreign-owned enterprises and joint ventures for the time being.
After connecting two stumbling blocks to Yihai Group, Zhong Huazhi concentrated on it, and it was up to Yihai to fight back.
But I never imagined that after a round of contact with the grassroots grain depots, Yihai Group faced the offensive of Jiagu and directly had no follow-up.
Yihai seemed to be watching Jiagu's small movements from the sidelines, and was no longer interested in the grassroots grain depot.
"It shouldn't be!" Zhong Huazhi, who seemed to have punched the cotton, was puzzled.
It is important to know that even if there is no grain purchase license, foreign investment in the local purchase of grain will not be greatly affected.
Because the license is issued by the food system, but the supervision is by the industrial and commercial department, which is not well supervised, and there is no provision for foreign capital to entrust local enterprises and grain depots to purchase grain.
As long as they want, Yihai Group can entrust local companies to buy, and this policy does not have much impact on them.
Zhong Huazhi didn't expect this to make Yihai Group retreat, but now that he is so calm, what is the matter?
