In the Jiagu headquarters park, a six-storey Chinese-style building occupies a large area.

There are no signs to be seen inside or out, and the beautiful garden scenery on the outside will make it look like a private villa, but inside, you will find that it is extremely well guarded.

In fact, this is one of the largest and most confidential departments of the Jiagu system, the Strategic Information Department.

This is a very complex and sophisticated department, directly subordinate to the leadership of Qi Zheng. Even the board of directors has no authority to question how many people, how it operates, and how many institutions it has under it, and it consumes as much money each year as it would spend on a subsidiary of the Jiagu system.

Compared with his colleagues with messy hair and bloodshot eyes, Ding Xian, who was similarly wrinkled but had a serious image, sat in the office like a wolf, staring at prey that could appear at any time.

The desk is cluttered with a mess of papers, each of which is densely packed with numbers and formulas. Unlike other departments, the information department is mostly experts in mathematics and economics, and its main job is to analyze the economic and strategic trends of various industries through economic data obtained from external and confidential channels, and then submit them to Qi Zheng and the board of directors for reference.

From tracking the domestic pork market, to the soybean cooperation in the Russian Far East, to the recent subprime mortgage crisis...... All information related to the business of the Jiagu system will be sent here for analysis on a priority basis.

With the implementation of Jiagu's "going out" strategy, keeping a close eye on the movements of major grain-producing countries and grain business giants has become the top priority.

"Boss, this is just received. Yao Fei, an assistant with short hair and uniform, walked to the desk, looked at the messy desk, smiled, and began to tidy up the table for him after placing the new documents in front of Ding Xian.

Yao Fei is a mathematical genius who joined Jiagu's strategic information department two years ago and is the focus of Ding Xian's training. Don't look at Ding Xian's serious face, but Yao Fei knows that he doesn't care about the details of life, especially when he is working.

Sure enough, Ding Xian didn't care, and looked at the new information pressed in front of him: "What is this?"

Yao Fei said while cleaning up the table: "It's about the real-time intelligence of the domestic National Grain Group and the National Grain Reserve Group, as well as the news from the overseas branch. ”

As the largest grain source control enterprise in China, and the National Grain Group, as the grain merchant with the strongest comprehensive strength in China, because it shoulders the responsibility of serving the country's macroeconomic regulation and control, every move may reflect the changes in the domestic grain policy, so it is the focus of attention of the Ministry of Information.

The overseas branch is an important base where the Ministry of Information will have its reach all over the world in the past two years. At present, the overseas branch is only a subordinate branch of the Ministry of Information, and according to the distribution of intercontinental regions, it mainly relies on them to obtain economic information on the surface of each country and conduct preliminary statistical analysis.

Thinking of Jiagu's overseas strategy recently, Ding Xian immediately opened the file and checked it. Yao Fei also took the opportunity to clean up the table and introduced the contents inside: "The National Grain Group held a decision-making meeting some time ago, at which it made strategic adjustments, decided to accelerate the globalization process of the National Grain, plan to use overseas agricultural natural resources, and establish a stable and reliable overseas agricultural product production base. This decision was preliminarily approved by the SASAC. ”

In addition, the four major international grain merchants have recently frequently shown favor to the country's grain reserves and discussed cooperation matters. Cargill said they can bring the world's most advanced grain production and procurement model to our country. The state grain reserves did not respond, but judging from the attitude of the National Development and Reform Commission, it is undoubtedly highly vigilant about this. ”

"According to the WTO agreement signed by China, China's WTO transition period on restricting foreign-funded enterprises from entering the field of grain circulation has ended this year, and the four major grain merchants have obviously taken a fancy to this opportunity. ”

Yao Fei is worthy of being the target of the Ministry of Information's key training, and when he analyzes it, he is straightforward, and even his pretty face is serious, and he continues to introduce: "At present, the national grain reserves have not completed the transformation of enterprises, and the main body of investment is still a single central government, whose main role is to stabilize the prices of grain and agricultural products. ”

Ding Xian frowned.

Yao Fei paused for a moment, waited for Ding Xian to open the overseas documents, and continued: "Overseas, although the momentum of the rapid rise in international grain prices has taken a sharp turn for the worse due to the sniping of the subprime mortgage crisis. However, interest in Tuntian continued unabated. ”

"At present, the most active is the Gulf countries, they have changed the traditional method of importing grain, formed the Gulf States Cooperation Council, extended their tentacles to Africa, Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Europe, and reached consultations with many countries, frantically renting land, buying land, and then growing grain. ”

In addition, our immediate neighbors, India and South Korea, have joined the ranks of overseas tuntians. In order to support domestic companies to grow grain overseas, the Indian government has changed the relevant laws, while South Korea has publicly stated that the number of overseas farmlands must meet the standards of island countries. ”

"The Brazilian government had to announce that it would accept foreign investment in the country's agriculture and land resources on a restrictive basis. Argentina has also announced that it intends to push for regulations to restrict foreign investors from buying Argentine land. ”

"In terms of competitors, Cargill has acquired Taylor's sugar trading unit to expand its sugar business, and has invested in a sugar and ethanol joint venture with the island nation of Itochu in Brazil, and Bunge has also increased its investment in South American cultivation sites......

Ding Xian's face was solemn, and he said to Yao Fei: "Good job, this information is very important, I'll go see the big boss right away." ”

Before the words fell, he closed the document and walked out, without waiting for Yao Fei to respond, he was no longer visible at the door. Yao Fei pouted slightly, shook her head and smiled and continued to sort out the information on the table.

......

"National Grain plans to adjust its overseas strategy?" Qi Zheng was really surprised after listening to Ding Xian's report.

In my impression, Guoliang Group has waited until the "buy, buy, buy" strategy of the so-called "whole food industry chain" in China has been frustrated before it has found its own role positioning and built a global agricultural industry chain through acquisition and integration.

Qi Zheng didn't know that it was Jiagu's aggressive and positive actions that gave the national grain great pressure and determination to change, but he felt that this kind of change was not bad.

"This is a good thing, after all, the national grain is the executor of the realization of the national food security strategy, and it is long overdue to expand the business layout to foreign countries; China's overseas agricultural influence is still too thin, and it is far from enough to rely on Jiagu alone. ”

Ding Xian nodded thoughtfully.

"As for the involvement of the four major grain merchants in the country......'s grain reserves," Qi Zheng sneered, "It's no fun! They are wishful thinking, but no one is a fool." The state's grain reserves are not purely enterprises, and their main task is not to create commercial profits, and they will not give up their macroeconomic regulation and control functions for the sake of commercial interests. ”

A little understanding of the domestic situation will not have much impact on the development of Jiagu, so Qi Zheng will put it aside. Compared with China, it is the complicated situation overseas that gives him more headaches.

In 07~08 years, the global grain market experienced a "roller coaster" market of rising and plummeting. Despite the subprime mortgage crisis, the food crisis seems to be gone.

But the fact is that the sharp fluctuations in food prices have made people aware of the existence of food security risks around the world, and at least reminded all parties that agriculture should be given more attention in the reserve strategy.

"Now that the world is undoubtedly entering a post-food crisis era, governments and competitors have taken countermeasures, and our overseas strategy in Jiagu needs to be adjusted in due course. Qi Zheng said lightly.
