Chapter 426: Doing Business with Jiagu (3/3)

With the assistance of President Lu, Jiagu International held a unique "Fruit Investment Promotion Conference".

This is mainly to promote Jiagu's "agricultural product uplink supply chain plan", and it can also be regarded as building a communication channel for Jiagu and Guizhou fruit industry insiders.

Most of the orchard owners at the scene heard that they had the opportunity to join Jiagu's supply chain, so they called friends and participated in Jiagu's "investment promotion".

The unique natural conditions of Gui Province have made fruit trees a cash cow for fruit farmers, and fruit farmers have become "local tyrants", and it is not uncommon for thousands of acres of orchards and 10,000 acres of orchards to be farmed.

However, fruit cultivation is also a high-risk industry, and the larger the fruit farm, the more millions or even tens of millions of yuan will be invested in the first three years. Once the management is not good, the fruit tree will be diseased, and the initial investment will be wasted.

"The risk of unsalable is not small, the winter before last, the rain suddenly increased, and the fruits could not be picked, so they were hung on the fruit trees. As soon as the day cleared, everyone flocked to pick the fruit, so that there was an oversupply situation in the market all of a sudden, usually a piece of five or six pounds of citrus, at that time no one wanted a dollar, everyone lost a lot...... "said the orchard owner.

"Yes, and there are more and more fruits on the market, and no one knows when the market will be flattened...... someone answered.

"So it would be nice if we could join Jiagu's supply chain, Jiagu's transportation channels and sales channels are not comparable to our ......"

There was a lot of talking.

After Qi Zheng and Zhong Huazhi appeared on the scene together, these orchard owners who flocked to the scene were most concerned about this issue.

"Qi Dong, what are the conditions for joining the Jiagu agricultural product supply chain?"

Qi Zheng pressed his hand, and when everyone quieted down, he said unhurriedly: "Actually, it's very simple, you can see it as a kind of order agriculture, we Jiagu can help with capital, means of production and technology, and you can produce according to the requirements." Correspondingly, the qualified products produced can be underwritten by Jiagu. ”

The eyes of the orchard owners present lit up.

Large orchards, like factories, have a market as their first concern. The product has a market, and you are not afraid to make some money and lose points, and you can find a way to reduce the cost with your hands free.

When the market is good, the fruit is naturally not afraid of sales, but what they are most afraid of is that when the market is bad, there is no market, the fruit cannot be sold, and they can only watch it rot in the ground, unable to return the funds, resulting in a shortage of cash flow, which is likely to bring them down.

It is no exaggeration to say that with this guarantee, they will be able to get a loan more easily, and if they also provide technical help, their risk will be greatly reduced.

I just don't know, what the more specific requirements are.

Qi Zheng looked at the eager eyes of the orchard owners, smiled slightly, and then said: "The specific standards are discussed with you in detail. What I can guarantee now is that joining our supply chain system will allow you to sell more products and produce at a lower cost. But at the same time, you must also give me a guarantee that all production activities related to Jiagu must comply with national laws and social morality. ”

What he said earlier could be understood by everyone, and when it came to the last sentence, many people showed puzzled expressions.

Their production is in line with the laws of the country, is it in accordance with social morality, and what does it have to do with Jiagu?

Someone asked worriedly: "Qi Dong, what do you mean by national laws and social morality?"

"No tax evasion, no deduction of workers' wages, no environmental pollution, and protection of the ecological environment...... All of this, should be included. ”

Not everyone of the orchard owners present had a good temper, and some people couldn't help but complain: "Qi Dong, of course we do what the laws of the country do as much as possible, but there are some things, isn't it not stipulated that there are no regulations? Besides, what does this have to do with Jiagu?"

"Because national laws are more binding than contracts! If there is a supplier who would rather violate national laws in order to make a little money, how can I believe that he will fulfill the contract? Maybe when he makes money, he will fulfill the contract, but if there is an opportunity to make more money, will he tear up the contract?"

After Qi Zheng looked around, he continued: "Another point is that Jiagu's supply chain is a tight supply chain, and we require every supplier in the supply chain to provide better products and more stable supply as much as possible. If suppliers don't care about national laws and social morality, then the risk of them suspending production or even going out of business will increase indefinitely, so it will also cause tension in Jiagu's supply chain, which we do not allow......"

The atmosphere became a little eerie for a while.

Paying taxes according to the rules and not deducting the wages of the workers, these orchard owners can probably do it.

But to say that it does not pollute the environment at all and protects the ecological environment, hehe......

The orchard owners present are often rented farmland. Therefore, many orchard owners do not cherish land resources, do not pay attention to fertilization and drainage, and after ten years, the land is basically wasted.

There are also some orchard owners, in order to maximize profits, are reluctant to invest in the problem of pesticide residues, so that they put fruits with excessive pesticide residues on the market......

It may not be illegal, but unethical operations, active or passive, are often unavoidable, so no one dares to give a guarantee easily.

Qi Zheng was not annoyed, waited for a while, spread his hands and said: "China-ASEAN Free Trade Area was officially launched on January 1 this year, and the vast majority of products in China and ASEAN countries will be subject to zero tariffs. It is safe to say that backward industrial concepts, backward organizational models, and backward planting technologies will not be able to meet market demand. ”

"If there are no strict requirements, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of the fruit, so I hope you understand. In any case, buying and selling is not benevolent, and everyone is not forced to agree, but this is the premise of joining the Jiagu supply chain. ”

Jiagu's "agricultural product upward supply chain plan" naturally hopes to achieve agricultural production and marketing synergy, and even the integration of production and marketing, but more importantly, Jiagu hopes to support a group of professional agricultural production partners with a conscience and a sense of responsibility.

Qi Zheng also believes that with the support of the big platform of Jiagu, those conscientious professional agricultural producers who are willing to do things well will eventually be able to defeat those speculative producers, so as to achieve "good money drives out bad money"!
