Chapter 518: What Good Results Can Be Achieved by Seeking Skin with a Tiger (2/2)
No matter how much Qi Zheng has expectations for Xiao Hangjia's future, Xiao Hangjia is still just a small group addicted to eating and sleeping.
What Qi Zheng can do is to adjust the "three-star spirit gathering array" at home and transform the home into a space with more abundant aura, so that Xiao Hangjia can better accept the aura quenching.
After that, because he kept talking about not being able to spoil Xiao Hangjia, he was "pushed" away by Qi's mother and Tian Yuwei - he couldn't help anything, he didn't say anything, there was a lot of nonsense, and it was annoying!
Alas, when a woman reaches a certain stage, she really cares most about children.
The "sad" Qi Zheng returned to the company and accepted the congratulations of his subordinates before he became energetic again. To make money to raise children, he has to work harder.
The birth of the "little boss" may be related to the future of Jiagu Group, but it has not affected the current pace of expansion and integration of Jiagu Group.
Returning to the company's Qi Zheng, he focused on the integration of the seed industry.
Jiagu's practice proves that the improvement of efficiency can certainly bring about the growth of volume, but the increase in added value brought by new varieties may bring new opportunities for overtaking in corners.
- What's more, there is no more suitable field than the seed industry to realize the point to the surface.
During this period of time, Chen Jianzhang of Jiagu Laboratory and Du Weimin of Jiagu Agricultural Materials have frequently traveled to the main corn and vegetable producing areas such as Northeast China and Huanghuaihai, as well as the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, some scientific research institutions under the Ministry of Agriculture, and various agricultural universities.
They are busy forming a consortium for seed industry cooperation. That is, led by Jiagu Laboratory, the United Nations scientific research units with considerable strength and advantages in the United Nations formed a research consortium to carry out research on improved varieties of corn, wheat, fruits, vegetables and other crops.
Such a momentum, even if it has not been endorsed by the state, has also caused shocks in the industry.
Qi Zheng just didn't expect that it was not domestic companies that reacted first, but foreign-funded seed companies.
Bill Nibo, general manager of Pioneer China and vice president of DuPont, appeared in Qi Zheng's office in a low-key manner.
As soon as he came, he sent a gift to the west: "Hey, congratulations to Qi Dong, happy to be a noble son." ”
Qi Zheng thanked him and accepted the gift, but his heart was alert.
Xiao Hangjia was born, and he didn't publicize it. But the fact that this guy received the news in such a short period of time is either a coincidence, or a ...... He, or DuPont Pioneers, was extremely concerned about Jiagu.
And the former is very unlikely. This makes Qi Zheng's mood not very beautiful, and it is not a happy thing for anyone to be closely watched.
Qi Zheng was silent on the surface, but in his heart, he quickly skimmed the information of the DuPont pioneers-
DuPont Pioneer, formerly known as Pioneer Seeds, is the world's second-largest seed company and the largest producer of corn seeds.
Since 2000, after China officially opened the seed market, DuPont Pioneer has actively entered China, and has established joint ventures with domestic seed enterprises such as "Denghai Pioneer", "Tieling Pioneer" and "Dunhuang Pioneer".
In just a few years, the pioneer company has become a "predator" in China's seed market.
As of last year, the company's corn variety "Xianyu 335" has a planting area of more than 30 million mu in China, and the total area is estimated to be close to 60 million mu, accounting for about 13% of the total corn area.
"Xianyu 335" last year's net profit of nearly 600 million yuan, if you add a variety of decks, its net profit in China's corn seed market may reach 40% ~ 60% of the entire market - with 13% of the planting area, in exchange for nearly 60% of the profit, is not terrible.
Jiagu did not have much presence in the corn business before, and the two sides should have been the well water rather than the river water. But it is clear that just as Jiagu pays attention to the layout of DuPont Pioneer in China, DuPont Pioneer also has an extraordinary attention to Jiagu.
Before Jiagu's seed industry cooperation consortium was formed, DuPont Pioneers had already sensed the crisis of change.
"Qi Dong, I heard about Jiagu's seed industry cooperation research plan, and to tell you the truth, DuPont Pioneer is also very interested in it. I wonder if we have any chance of working together?" said Bill Nibber.
Mr. Bill joked that DuPont Pioneer has more than 100 R&D centers around the world, which screen about 300 new inbred seeds and test more than 800 new experimental hybrid seeds each year...... Where can you see our little fight?" Qi Zheng said with a Tai Chi.
Bill Nibo squinted and said seriously: "No, we are really optimistic about the seed industry research and development system led by Jiagu, and we sincerely hope to participate in it." ”
Without waiting for Qi Zheng's response, Bill Nibo immediately analyzed: "It is precisely because we have R&D centers all over the world that one thing is very clear - it costs a lot of money to research new varieties, and the experimental equipment, laboratories, and the land and people needed for planting experiments require huge investment." ”
"Of course, I know that Jiagu's revenue is good, but it is difficult to support such a huge R&D plan alone. And we, DuPont Pioneer, can help with funding and advanced experimental equipment. ”
"Moreover, as you said, Qi Dong, we have abundant market resources around the world, and we can also help Jiagu transform research results into ......."
Qi Zheng was noncommittal, and reminded lightly: "Mr. Bill, then you should also know that China has restrictions on foreign investment in the breeding of new crop varieties and seed production. ”
Bill Nibo smiled, "Of course, I understand that. But DuPont Pioneer has never pursued a controlling stake, we just need to participate in the partnership......"
It should be said that Bill Nibo's analysis is not unreasonable.
Normally, the research and development of a new variety, at least a few years, more than ten years, according to the grand goal of the Jiagu seed industry collaborative research plan, the investment must be huge. With the strength of the Jiagu family, it will definitely not be able to support it for a long time.
If Qi Zheng had not known that the state was interested in promoting the joint research of seed improvement, Jiagu's plan would have been able to obtain the state's resources, and if Qi Zheng had not possessed the means of "cheating", the efficiency of the cultivation of new varieties could have been greatly accelerated...... Perhaps Qi Zheng will also consider DuPont Pioneer's cooperation proposal.
But, too, it's just a consideration.
Bill Nibo said it nicely, and he doesn't pursue control. But just look at the "Pioneer of the Sea".
Although the Chinese company has a 51 percent controlling stake, the management of the company is actually controlled by DuPont Pioneer. To put it bluntly, Denghai Pioneer is just a production, processing and sales company. Nominally, it is controlled by the Chinese side, but the core technology and senior management are in the hands of foreign capital.
You say scientific research cooperation is different?
Hehe......
When a foreign-funded enterprise such as DuPont Pioneer signs a cooperation agreement with a scientific research institution in China, it seems fair that "both parties have the right of priority to use scientific research results" and other similar terms, but DuPont Pioneer has strong production conditions and rich market resources, which can often use scientific research results before domestic scientific research institutions and form a first-mover advantage.
What are the good results of seeking skin from a tiger?
Qi Zheng calmly said to Bill Nibo: "Mr. Bill, well, there is one thing you may not know - our seed industry cooperation research plan involves genetically modified crop seeds, so, according to our country's policy, you know ......."
"Watt?" was a big surprise to Bill Nibo.
China's "Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries" stipulates that the research and development of genetically modified organisms and the production of genetically modified crop seeds, breeding stock and poultry, and aquatic seedlings are prohibited!
