Looking at the very different performances of the Kaya Group and Marubeni Trading Company's farms, it was difficult for the partner Vasily to have no inclination in his heart. Look at 'Mao's line, Chinese, and net

Of course, it can be said that your Marubeni trading company was caused by natural disasters, but Kaya Farm is not necessarily in good weather, so why did you suffer such a big disaster?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the cause is blamed on natural disasters, your island people are purely unlucky—who wants to cooperate with an unlucky person, isn't it good to cooperate with a partner with great momentum like Jiagu?

Vasily's attention to the two farms undoubtedly reveals this tendency.

Such a result is what Qi Zheng is willing to see. But for Akio Ota, it put a lot of pressure on him.

Marubeni Trading Company has already lost more than 10 million US dollars in the Far East, and if it fails to defeat the Kaya Group in the end, the cooperation between Marubeni Trading Company and Vasily is likely to end next year.

Akio Ota, who is the head of the Far East project, would not have been able to survive if the company had lost so much money and gained nothing.

The problem now is that Jiagu undoubtedly has an absolute advantage in soybean planting, and it is not very difficult for him to catch up with Jiagu under the condition of changing the previous plan to plant other crops.

No matter how anxious Akio Ota was, the result was more important than the process, and by kicking Marubeni Trading Company out of the soybean planting ranks, he achieved his expected goal. Akio Ota's advance and retreat were inadequate, and he single-handedly promoted the result.

Zhang Zehong, as the "lubricant" between Jiagu and Vasily, has the most direct experience of Vasily's attitude and tendencies.

"Vasily has made it possible to further sort out the situation of arable land in the Far East, especially the large tracts of arable land that are contiguous to each other. According to my estimates, if this year's earnings meet expectations, he will be able to provide 3 million hectares of land for cooperation in the next two years. Look at the .Mao.Line.Chinese.Wen.Net, and if we are willing to invest in the reclamation, this number will be even higher. ”

Qi Zheng squinted: "3 million hectares! If all of them can be taken for planting soybeans, not to mention anything else, Jiagu's own soybeans will basically be self-sufficient." ”

Zhang Zehong said confidently: "As long as there is a bumper harvest this year, there should be no big problem." To be honest, even in the world, it is difficult to find a 'clean land' suitable for large-scale soybean cultivation like the Far East, and we must not afford to lose. ”

Qi Zheng very much agreed with Zhang Zehong's statement.

On the one hand, this "pure land" is reflected in the fact that powerful international grain merchants have not set foot in the Far East market for the time being, either because they do not look down on the harsh climate of the Far East or because of the political situation.

On the other hand, the main thing is the "aggression" of other crops in space.

Taking domestic soybeans as an example, in the long history of thousands of years, soybeans have maintained a strong momentum of development in China because of their wide range of uses and vigorous vitality. There are only two events that have brought domestic soybeans off the altar, the other is the opening of soybean imports, and the other is the emergence of hybrid corn.

The former is self-explanatory, and the latter is difficult to explain.

Typically, the development of breeding techniques is slow, and yields are gradually increased.

But hybrid corn is very different, and the yield increase effect is particularly obvious, which is why the emergence of a new generation of crops represented by dwarf wheat and hybrid corn has been called the "Green Revolution" in history - they have swept the world like a revolution, completely changing the face of the entire agriculture.

Farmers planting crops mainly look at the benefits, the yield per mu of the new generation of hybrid corn far exceeds that of soybeans, in the case of the price has not been able to open up too much, corn has gradually encroached on the "territory" of soybeans, and this is how domestic soybeans have "fallen".

But in the Far East, there is one thing that has slowed the pace of the corn offensive: the climate.

"Corn is produced in South America and is originally a tropical crop, even if it is a cold-tolerant corn variety cultivated in the northeast of our country, it is not suitable to advance to the Far East. Therefore, the main crops suitable for large-scale cultivation in the Far East are soybeans and wheat, but unfortunately now Marubeni Trading Company has missed the best time to plant them, hehe......" Qi Zheng said and smiled.

Zhang Zehong also gloated.

After laughing, Zhang Zehong said with a solemn face: "We'd better find an opportunity to completely squeeze Marubeni out of the Far East, otherwise, the combination of their abundant capital and the soybean industry in the Far East will put too much competitive pressure on Jiagu." ”

Qi Zheng nodded silently.

In the logic of capital, soybean is not only a necessity for human life rich in protein and can provide edible oil, but also a commodity that can seek benefits for capitalists.

On the one hand, the consumption of soybeans and their products (soybean oil and soybean meal as feed) is spread all over the world, and no country can completely get rid of its consumption. On the other hand, the biggest lure of soybean to capital is that it is suitable for capital-intensive large-scale cultivation.

Whether it is in the northeast of China or elsewhere, when you go to the soybean producing area, you often see endless field operations.

In other words, soybean cultivation is done in such a way that a very small number of owners control a very large amount of land, and smallholder farmers who fight alone are insignificant and have to be slaughtered.

Qi Zheng said in a deep voice: "In China, from the perspective of the country, the overall benefit of soybeans is not as good as corn, which is equivalent to a waste of land, and the most lacking thing in the country is land." But in the Far East, where there is no shortage of land, when capital and soybeans are combined, it is unstoppable. ”

"The most profitable way to produce soybeans is very large, capital-intensive, dependent on agrochemicals, and dependent on farm machinery. This is a game that only large landowners and well-capitalized investors can afford. ”

"Vasily and they bought up the land from the poor peasants and became big landowners, and the only investor who provided the capital was Jiagu. ”

Qi Zheng said in a resolute tone: "I have decided, no matter what happens next year, we must increase investment in the Far East, Jiagu must rely on capital to control the soybean industry chain in the Far East, and let the Marubeni Trading Company, which is lagging behind step by step, eat ashes." ”

Zhang Zehong has no opinion on increasing investment, he just reminded: "The group has a lot of projects this year, can the funds keep up?"

This is not that he is unfounded, just from the perspective of the soybean production and marketing chain, Jiagu Group has a lot of plans this year.

The reason why soybeans have become such a hot commodity today is that the demand for soybean meal has changed the main use of soybeans, from the previous pressing oil to pressing meal.

Soybean oil is less than 20 percent of soybean oil and 80 percent of soybean meal.

As the largest soybean crusher in China, Jiagu can basically digest the soybean oil produced, but the self-digestion of soybean meal cannot even reach one-third.

Soybean meal is rich in protein and is the main source of protein components in animal feed. In the Jiagu system, the big consumers of animal protein are undoubtedly pig farms. In the group's planning, this year's pig farm will also be further expanded.

Throwing money everywhere, Zhang Zehong can't help but have doubts about the capital chain.

Qi Zheng thought for a moment and said: "The problem of funds, it is also nervous, and it is sufficient...... I really dare not say sufficient. It just so happened that I was going back to China, and I heard that someone was going to 'send money' to us, so I had to go back and see if I could make a fortune to relieve the pressure on funds......"
