While Qi Zheng reassured people's hearts, the People's Daily silently published an article "Guarding the Value Export of Agricultural Modernization", which made an in-depth analysis of the "default event of Jiagu cooperatives".

-- The article said that "whether it is a farmer or a company, once the boat of honesty capsizes, it will be difficult to remedy it", and believes that only by keeping the bottom line of honesty can domestic agriculture grasp the tuyere of modernization......

The Xinhua News Agency and Guangming Ribao also published similar commentaries on the incident.

"So, this is an official statement?" he asked as the translated article was placed in front of Ambotai, president of Cargill's agricultural supply chain for Asia Pacific.

Sitting across from him was Akio Ota, the special representative of the Marubeni Grain Trade Department of the island nation.

Compared with An Botai, the latter can be called a China expert, and he has the leisure to count the number of articles, and then said: "These are China's official media, so it can basically be regarded as the official support for Jiagu." ”

Cargill can represent traditional international grain merchants, while Marubeni is one of the representatives of emerging international grain merchants. What can bring them together is naturally because they have a common opponent - the head of China's grain merchants, Jiagu.

In this way, the official statement is not good news for them.

As an international grain merchant, they will deliberately maintain relations with various governments, especially locally. In China, the largest emerging market, the official connections of the local overlord Jiagu are naturally not comparable to them. However, in such a short period of time, he was able to win a clear official statement of support, and Ambotai cannot say that he is not a little surprised.

Akio Ota also said in a sighy tone: "It seems that Jiagu's poverty alleviation line is very in line with the wishes of the Chinese government. ”

An Botai frowned, and also remembered the information he had seen before: even if its farmer cooperatives showed signs of betrayal, Jiagu still firmly continued to promote the implementation of farmer cooperatives in poor areas......

An Botai was silent for a moment and muttered: "What is such an enterprise...... How do you make a big one?"

According to his business logic, it is really difficult to understand Jiagu's "poverty alleviation route".

Yes, in the field of large agriculture, multinational grain merchants also generally trace the production link upwards. For example, the four major grain merchants sign contracts with farmers in the early stage of sowing seeds, provide seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural machinery, finance, etc., and then purchase agricultural products from farmers at the agreed pricing model at harvest time.

Everyone is the layout of the whole industrial chain, but their whole industrial chain is not the same "whole industrial chain" as the whole industrial chain of Jiagu.

To put it simply, the four major grain merchants have their own focus on the "whole industry chain" – ADM is known for its focus on research and development and continues to promote expansion in related fields through chemical research, Bunge is known for its focus on the integrity of the industrial chain from farm to terminal, Cargill has always focused on grain and oil logistics, and Louis Dreyfus Company attaches great importance to balancing the trading risk of agricultural products through options and futures.

At first glance, the "whole industry chain" of Jiagu seems to be the same as that of Bunge. But where is Bunge like Jiagu who will devote himself to transforming an environment with extremely poor congenital conditions?

Where can the same funds be invested to bring higher returns? Jiagu is not in line with business logic at all, and it is "self-defeating" to make Anbotai evaluate it.

But it's just this kind of Jiagu that has developed to the point where they all have to be afraid.

Akio Ota has a deeper understanding of Kaya, and even said that he has a deeper understanding of China.

His face changed, and finally he said in a deep voice: "This is China's sharp upward period, in the upward cycle of this large economy, the achievements of individuals or companies will be magnified by tens or hundreds of times. ”

This is the deepest feeling of Akio Ota after watching Kaya rise at an incomprehensible speed over the years.

If the national luck is good, the individual can be good.

For example, the most dazzling enterprises in the island countries were founded in the upward cycle of the island countries after World War II; after entering the 90s, the upward cycle of the island countries was completely shattered, and there were no more dazzling emerging companies in the island countries.

The same is true for the United States. The most typical is Warren Buffett, who has experienced the most sharp rise in the US stock market in a century, and it is also a century of god-making, in this case, he has also braved the wind and waves and become a legend - in another place, he must also be a human spirit, but it is unlikely to become a "legend" of global worship.

Looking back at Jiagu, even if we choose the "poverty alleviation route" that is incomprehensible to Ambotai, is Jiagu's contribution really so huge? You must know that the main force of China's poverty alleviation is actually the government. It is the central government that provides strong transfer payment support to the backward areas, so that the infrastructure of the backward areas can keep up, and water, electricity, roads, etc. are connected, so that enterprises like Jiagu can drive industrial development.

In other words, Jiagu's biggest confidence is actually the country's vigorous upward momentum.

Ambotai was a little uncomfortable.

He doesn't even understand the Chinese government's massive poverty alleviation, let alone anything else.

Chinese may think that poverty alleviation is not what the government should do? The fact is that large-scale poverty alleviation is only done in China, which is unique in the world.

Under the Western democratic system, no politician would propose to use local money to help people in backward areas "get rid of poverty", which is political suicide.

For example, the "social security program" of Western countries is the common model of poverty alleviation in developed countries. Put simply, it means "meeting basic needs" by providing basic food, basic health and education security and other subsistence subsidies directly to the poor.

This is the difference between "teaching to fish" and "teaching to fish". No country like China has actually lifted the poor by raising their incomes, or even included them in government assessments.

Therefore, if you say "do charity", Ambotai understands it; but if you say "poverty alleviation", Ambotai's first thought is, is this really not a slogan for the Chinese?

However, he more or less understood what Akio Ota meant, and said, "You mean, behind Kagaya is the Chinese government, and if we are enemies of Kaya, we are enemies of the government of a big country?"

"Ahem......" The corners of Ota Akio's mouth twitched twice, and he said, "That's not true, I mean to say that being an enemy of Kagu in China is destined to encounter unimaginable resistance." ”

"I already feel it. Ambotai said sullenly.

The poaching of the Jiagu farmers' cooperatives is now not up or down.

And the more he learned more about China's Jiagu development model, the more he felt as if he had arrived in another world.

It seems that because of their push, Jiagu has to endure even greater cost spikes and capital losses in order to "protect itself". But such a company, in such a country, ABT really dare not say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Even when he thought that they might turn bad things into good things by Jiagu with all their calculations, he would feel a twitch in his heart.

Coincidentally, Akio Ota also feels this way.

He sighed and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, the truth is that I can't see the future, and I can't predict the fate of Jiagu. But what we do may be fulfilling the great ...... of Jiagu"

Hearing this, An Botai shook his head and felt even more depressed.
