Wang Yuye's eyes flashed, but he quickly calmed down again, and said with a dumb smile: "Xiao Qi, you seem to have forgotten how many years it took these giants to achieve their current status. ”

"Yes, these giants are all experienced in a hundred battles, and continuous mergers and acquisitions have achieved today's scale. Qi Zheng spread out his hands and stared at the distribution of stones on the table, as if he had made some major decision, and then turned his head to look at Wang Yuye's eyes and asked, "But, Brother Wang, do you think we can lose our voice in the global commodity pricing mechanism like this?"

"Can't!"

Wang Yuye quietly looked at Qi Zheng's deep eyes, and couldn't help but raise his chin slightly: "It is precisely because of the structural power of the Western powers and the multinational companies behind them that they hold this structural power on a global scale that China is so absent and powerless in the commodity pricing mechanism." Nor will the state allow this absence to persist forever. ”

Bulk commodities mainly refer to material commodities that are bought and sold in large quantities for industrial and agricultural production and consumption.

In general, commodities can be divided into four categories, namely energy commodities, basic raw materials, bulk agricultural products and precious metals.

With the rapid development of the economy, China will undoubtedly become an important consumer and the largest importer of many bulk commodities.

However, the enormous purchasing power has not helped Chinese companies change their embarrassing position as price takers. Chinese companies participating in international market transactions have little influence on transaction prices, and can basically only passively accept prices in international markets.

Due to the lack of pricing power, the actual increase in the prices of many commodities has greatly exceeded the reasonable range of reflecting the relationship between supply and demand, which has not only caused China's enterprises to suffer huge economic losses, but also caused a chain reaction to the rise in the prices of domestic middle and lower reaches of the products, and weakened the international competitiveness of China's products.

In later generations, looking through the circle of friends, most people are tired of talking about the Internet and big data. But how many people know that this is actually only the part of the entire economic system that has received the most attention from the mass media, is closest to the end consumer group, and is most likely to detonate the discussion, and even there are many bubble elements in it - while advocating the Internet, have you really considered the history and the present at the core, and considered the foundation, essence and core of the economy?

Perhaps only when the price of pork rises sky-high will everyone return to the roots of earthlings - clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

The most fundamental survival needs of human beings are the reserves, production, trade, and consumption of bulk commodities, which affect human life every day.

Without the support of these real economies, no matter how awesome the Internet idea is, it will not be realized.

Returning to the present, Qi Zheng continued: "In the coming decades, natural resources will become increasingly scarce, and all countries will need to maintain rapid economic growth through access to various resources and energy. Energy and resource issues are increasingly leading to global conflicts, and competition and strategic planning for resources between countries are just beginning. ”

"By forming an oligopoly of production, combining financial capital, and then controlling the news, multinational groups threaten the security of supply and have full control over the pricing power of commodities. ”

"How to participate in the global pricing mechanism through the establishment of a futures market and the internationalization of the renminbi is considered at the national level, and we cannot get involved in it. ”

"But on the front end of the main body of the battle, I want to determine a seat for Kaya. Other types of commodities aside, at least in the case of bulk agricultural products, Jiagu has some global pricing power. ”

"That's my ultimate goal, and that's what I want from Jiagu. ”

Wang Yuye's heart was shocked, Qi Zheng's goal was more ambitious than his guess. Of course, it is difficult to achieve such a goal.

He was not polite at all, and went straight to the core, "According to such a goal, it is far from enough without hundreds of billions of investments." How do you make sure that you have enough money?"

Indeed, no matter how vast the market is waiting to be occupied, no matter how grand the strategy conceived, money is the basis for making it a reality, without which the so-called market and the goal are all just a castle on the sand.

Qi Zheng could only be frank about this: "I can't guarantee it, I can only come step by step at the moment." This involves a primary and secondary issue of investment, as far as I am concerned, I tend to invest funds in the construction of storage and transportation logistics network, which is the soul of the industrial chain. But this is also the most asset-heavy link, which requires a lot of capital. ”

"No matter how determined I am, not having the funds is a matter of course. Therefore, it is necessary to accumulate capital by investing in the more profitable food field and financial risk speculation in the early stage. When we have a more complete storage, transportation and logistics network in China, I think then it is the time to go abroad to fight for pricing power. ”

Qi Zheng looked at Wang Yuye thoughtfully, smiled and said: "I once said to your father that in the next ten years, we will all walk on thin ice, but we will not live up to life after all." I don't want to know the answer, but I firmly believe that Brother Wang will get a broader sky in Jiagu than in a state-owned enterprise. ”

......

Now Wang Yuye is in the "dark before dawn" stage of his life.

In Qi Zheng's memory, in the second half of this year, he will be appreciated and invited by the first helmsman of the Guohua Group, and join the Lanxing Group, the predecessor of the Guohua Group.

But Wang Yuye didn't know about this.

He fell into deep thought after Qi Zheng left, weighing the pros and cons all over his head.

This is not a simple change of job, if you come out of the state-owned enterprise system that you are familiar with, it means that most of the contacts you have accumulated in the state-owned enterprise system over the years will be in vain.

But now he is trapped in the branch of Yue Province, and the fierce internal competition is really unbearable for him, and the key is that he can't get out for a while, and there is a risk of being cannon fodder at any time.

Even if he is transferred out of the branch, with his qualifications, he can only be one of the heads of a department or branch in a state-owned enterprise.

Qi Zheng's Jiagu company is just starting now, but it is foreseeable that with the support of a large amount of money, its development momentum will be extremely rapid, if he joins, he will directly serve as the general manager, and there are not too many places to show his strength.

And his own philosophy is quite consistent with Qi Zheng's. The key is from the perspective of Qi Zheng's style of acting, he is not a person who loves power, so the contradiction between the two in this regard will be minimized.

The most important thing is that the big pie painted by Qi Zheng's kid is too tempting, and he has a certain amount of global pricing power for bulk agricultural products...... God, I dare to think about it. If this step can be achieved, Jiagu deserves to be the "important weapon of the country".

But I was also a little tempted by him.

Wang Yuye has realized that his thoughts are slowly thinking about Qi Zheng getting closer, but when it comes to his future career development, he will not make a choice easily.

......

Qi Zheng is well aware of his strengths and weaknesses.

I can know the future direction, and no one can match the overall strategy. After all, no matter how good you can deduce, you can't compare to Qi Zheng's personal experience.

Those multinational giants need to open think tanks to analyze for them which company's products are worth investing in, and which industries are worthy of their enclosure campaigns and capital wars with their opponents. Every step of the giant is accompanied by the massive data support and analysis guidance of the think tank behind it.

However, Qi Zheng was born with the talent for investment, and through the memories of later generations, the resources he mastered were beyond the scope of modern society, and the custody made many capital giants stunned.

By the same token, even if he was a human being for two lifetimes, Qi Zheng had no experience in managing a large company—as Jiagu grew in size, Qi Zheng had to find a manager who was strong enough.

So he has a very clear positioning for himself, and he is the controller of the company's development direction and strategic decision-making, oh, by the way, as the "superhero" behind the company, he often opens and hangs to let the company beat a lot of unsightly opponents.

Wang Yuye is right, none of the multinational giants that Qi Zheng will face can be compared to Jiagu's current small body.

So, how do you catch up quickly?

Qi Zheng can only come up with one answer, large-scale mergers and acquisitions.

AB InBev is a prime example of this.

As the world's largest beer producer, AB InBev's history is a history of mergers and acquisitions: accurately selecting the best brands with high local market share as merger targets, and quickly seizing new markets through mergers and acquisitions.

Continuous mergers and acquisitions are the core driving factors for AB InBev to become the global beer hegemon: in 04, it merged with Ambev in Brazil to become the world's largest beer group in one fell swoop, in 08 it acquired the world's third largest beer group Anheuser-Busch Company, dominating the United States in Miller's home base, and in 16 years it acquired the world's second South African Miller, through the integration of resources to achieve complementary advantages, making the global leading position clearer, and the new company has become a veritable industry giant.

Large-scale acquisitions in the global market with the help of capital operation are the only magic weapons for multinational companies to expand.

Qi Zheng has recruited two of the best Chinese super traders on Wall Street in the future, coupled with his judgment of the general trend, capital operation has a unique advantage.

On the contrary, the ability of mergers and acquisitions is insufficient.

In many cases, it is not difficult to acquire a company that you like. However, how to integrate the merged company, truly achieve strategic complementarity, and maintain the stability of personnel and business is the key.

In this regard, Wang Yuye's management advantages are obvious. His M&A and integration capabilities in state-owned enterprises based on domestic M&A and restructuring experience, as well as his international vision and basic capabilities formed by his early internationalization experience, are top in the world.

That is the cattle man who led the Guohua Group to successfully "snake swallow elephants" in later generations.

......

In the next two or three days, the two met a few times, and although Wang Yuye was still saying that he needed time to think about it, his attitude had gradually softened.

When he finally asked Wang Lao about Qi Zheng's views and suggestions for this invitation, Wang Lao pointed out sharply: "When you start to probe Qi Zheng's situation from the side, it means that you already have a tendency in your heart. At times like this, my advice is to just follow your heart's choice. ”

So Wang Yuye finally decided to join the still little-known Jiagu Company.

Qi Zheng sincerely wanted to applaud, Wang Lao's last knife was really good!
