Chapter 546: Infinite Potential (1/2)

Time flies.

The world is never at peace.

In the United States, demonstrators launched the "Occupy Wall Street" protest against power-for-money trading, bipolitical infighting, and social injustice in American politics. Interestingly, the FBI has viewed the protest movement as a potential criminal and terrorist threat from the outset, and has continued to monitor and crack down on it ever since. The forced clearance of the police and the "selective" silence of the mainstream media in the United States have fully demonstrated to the world what is called "American-style freedom of cooking".

In Europe, after nearly two years of bickering, the EU finally reached a consensus on resolving the European debt crisis and agreed to provide financial assistance to Greece. However, the people of the leading countries of the eurozone are all criticized for spending their own money to make up for the holes left by their neighbors' "high consumption and high welfare", and this move has also laid the groundwork for a certain "European-stirring stick" to say "goodbye" to the EU in the future. In the final analysis, the hollowing out of industry, represented by manufacturing, is the root cause of the economic crisis.

The country has never been quiet.

In September, the National Bureau of Statistics released information that consumer prices (CPI) peaked and fell. Behind this message is the sharp rise in prices for several months, with the average price reaching the highest level in nearly a decade, and the steady rise in grain prices.

The Chinese people have officially entered the era of "the money in their hands is becoming less and less valuable", and they are eager for more investment channels; the life of enterprises is not easy, the external environment is not stable, the internal operating costs are rising steadily, and different enterprises are falling into different troubles.

The Jiagu system is like a still sea.

It's not that it didn't feel the impact of the tide of the times, but under the leadership of Qi Zheng, Jiagu Group has grasped the pulse of the times. Against the backdrop of food prices rising by more than 10%, the Group's cash flow has never been more abundant than ever with traditional businesses such as rice, milk, and beer, which have basically completed the layout, and it is among the top domestic enterprises at this time.

The industrial funds established for the expansion of new business cannot be said to have made a good start, it is simply a "big explosion".

In less than two months, half of the 5 billion raised funds have arrived. This kind of efficiency greatly exceeded Qi Zheng's expectations, and also made Ma Dingwen, who was responsible for spending the money, busy.

Ma Dingwen's newly established forestry business segment is a headquarters-level management structure, the core of which is how to do a good job of investors, through investment control, to effectively govern the core subordinate enterprises, so that there is a chance to achieve synergies between the modules can interact, rather than everything is done.

Just like the grain, oil and food and beverage sector, which is one of the pillars of the group, it has several subsidiaries, some of which sell rice, some of which sell milk, and some of which sell beer, but the basic business format is the same, all of which form the final end consumer goods, which are sold through a series of methods such as multi-level distribution or direct chain sales. At the headquarters level, it is necessary to combine R&D, production, supply chain and sales to form a consumer goods sector.

Therefore, after Ma Dingwen had a little understanding of the group's financial information, he went non-stop, not only to implement a new base for the expansion of the yew industry, but also to find out how many cards the forestry business of the Jiagu system has, and almost became a trapeze.

When the first fundraising of the industrial fund arrived, Ma Dingwen turned his attention to another important base of Jiagu Forestry - Jatropha base.

In the abandoned coal mine area of Linfen City, Shanxi Province, where the original vegetation and hydrology have been completely destroyed, Ma Dingwen saw jatropha trees growing in the wind.

The person in charge of PetroChina's wholly-owned subsidiary, PetroChina, a strategic partner who rushed to hear the news, smiled like a 300-pound fat man: "This jatropha variety you have cultivated is especially suitable for growing here." You see, the terrain and landform formed by the collapse of coal mining have completely degraded the landform, right?

"Moreover, it is really good at decomposing and absorbing cinders! Hey, if it weren't for planting this jatropha tree in an abandoned coal mining area, and really finding that the damaged soil has been reconstructed, labor and management will never believe it! Really never underestimate the potential of a tree!"

Ma Dingwen just took over the relevant information, and he came here to understand the details, so he didn't interject much.

The person in charge of PetroChina then revealed the latest progress: "Up to now, the jatropha planting area has exceeded 200,000 mu, and as the planting workers become more and more experienced, the jatropha planting speed will also accelerate." At this pace, there is a high probability that the plan will be completed in advance. ”

There is no need for Ma Dingwen to ask, the more he speaks, the more energetic he becomes: "Mr. Ma, you can rest assured that the diesel refinery base that PetroChina is responsible for supporting the construction has also begun to level the land and purchase equipment." Damn, labor and management are going to dig up a 'biological oil field' here!"

It can be seen that even if it has not yet borne fruit, the growth and performance of the Jiagu jatropha have already convinced him, and even made him so happy that he kept speaking in front of Ma Dingwen.

Ma Dingwen didn't care, but curled the corners of his mouth - the partner's gaffe is the best praise for Jiagu, and it is really worthy of the name of "super jatropha tree".

In the joy, a bit of pride emerged.

Since returning to China, Ma Dingwen has seen many companies that can be called successful, and they have either created great achievements in a short period of time, or have earned enviable profits with very little labor.

But there is no company, like Jiagu, that makes Ma Dingwen feel trembling.

Super yew, super jatropha ...... In just a few months of contact with Jiagu, the results of the forestry sector alone made Ma Dingwen feel difficult to catch up.

The most rare thing is that Jiagu has always been the development direction of technological growth. Such a company is extremely rare in the most traditional agricultural sector.

Although the slogan of "technology is the primary productive force" has been shouted for many years, even today, many domestic enterprises are still in a state of totem worship in the market. In fact, there are countless companies that have made great returns from the market, whether it is the financial market or the traditional trading market.

But in his heart, Ma Dingwen looks down on those commercial companies.

To put it mildly, it is nothing more than a broker who buys and sells.

But Qi Zheng and his Jiagu group are completely different.

Ma Dingwen has specially learned about Qi Zheng's resume, and knows that he started with technology and made a fortune with technology - well, although his "technology" is not this "technology".

Such a company has always been very unpleasant in China, and many times, it is regarded as a fat sheep. That is, now that the country has begun to pay attention to intellectual property rights, it is not so easy to be taken advantage of.

It can be said that Qi Zheng and his Jiagu have not only changed Ma Dingwen's understanding, but also changed the understanding of many people inside and outside the industry.

Just like now, what qualifications does PetroChina, a dignified energy giant, have to take advantage of others in bioenergy? Jiagu holds the key "super jatropha tree" of "forest-oil integration".

In fact, what Ma Dingwen has not said is that after learning that Jiagu was not immersed in the glory of the past, but erected the royal flag of "promoting the national agricultural strategy to focus on scientific research and innovation", he made up his mind, even if he failed to become the person in charge of the forestry sector of Jiagu, he had to find a way to join the Jiagu system.

Because, such a Jiagu has infinite potential!
