Chapter 710: Sour Taste (1/2)
At the fourth batch of assured grain and oil demonstration enterprises of the Henan Grain Industry Association, acquaintances formed a small circle and pricked up their ears to exchange industry trends.
Lao Hou sighed: "There are a lot of familiar faces missing this year." ”
"But no, in the past two years, large and small flour mills have closed down one after another, although some of the processing plants are still operating, but the prospect is worrying, and they can't survive. ”
"The flour processing industry is having a hard time!"
Idleness is idleness, and when one complains, others follow suit.
"Now the price of wheat is like taking a plane, and the price of flour is like taking a tractor. Wheat can't be bought, flour can't be sold. And the big companies have formed a one-stop planting, acquisition, production, and sales, whose life is better?" said Lao Hou with affection.
Before the words fell, a familiar face with a red face entered the eyes of several people.
"Lao Zhang's life is better. Someone broke the silence.
"I heard that Lao Zhang accepted Jiagu's conditions, and his flour mill entered Jiagu's wheat supply system?"
An insider nodded: "Not only did he accept Jiagu's conditions, Lao Zhang also took the initiative to ask Jiagu to become a shareholder, spent tens of millions of dollars on technological transformation, introduced advanced milling equipment, and increased the production capacity from 250 tons to 800 tons per day......"
"Damn, Lao Zhang is so ruthless?"
"How else to say that the child is reluctant to catch the wolf? Lao Zhang is absolutely fast enough, it seems that he is the first batch of flour companies to surrender to Jiagu, even if it is to erect his 'horse bones', Jiagu will support him, can life be difficult?"
Recently, everyone's mood has not been easy at all.
Affected by the impact of the industry giants' large-scale layout of upstream and downstream, there have been many bankrupt peers around. Those who survive for the time being also face greater challenges. To persist or to give up is a common puzzle faced by many flour mill owners.
Lao Zhang hugged Jiagu's thigh, and introduced funds and equipment, which made some people very envious.
Lao Zhang, who was in everyone's mouth, was greeting acquaintances energetically.
The comprehensive cooperation with Jiagu has just been finalized, the technical transformation route has been determined, and Jiagu's investment has been paid, so he is naturally relaxed and comfortable.
However, his pride was a little dazzling in Lao Hou's eyes: "Lao Zhang's company will be under the jurisdiction of Jiagu in the future, maybe he won't be able to speak one day, what kind of pride is he......"
Because of the strict access conditions of Jiagu's agricultural product supply chain, there are not as many companies that can "squeeze on the ship" as imagined. Moreover, not everyone wants to "squeeze on board".
As for why they oppose it, there are various reasons, some are worried about the company changing hands, some feel that they can get by, some plan to transform, and of course, the most, those who know that even if they want to hug Jiagu's thigh, they will not be able to pass Jiagu's audit.
Just like Lao Hou, his wheat processing factory likes nothing more than to auction off the old wheat stored at the grain depot at a low price, and process it into low-quality flour for local sale.
Inferior flour is not dead, with low prices, there is still a considerable market. But Lao Hou knew that such an act would inevitably be rejected by Jiagu.
Although he knew it in his heart, he was still unbalanced when he saw that someone around him had successfully hugged his thigh.
"Actually, there is nothing bad about being governed by Jiagu, and the benefits are even more. Someone next to him said quietly.
Joining the Jiagu supply chain makes it cheaper to get raw materials, higher product quality, and easier market share expansion, which is already excessive.
“...... Have you heard? Jiagu also provided a sales channel for Lao Zhang's company, and the products produced by his factory in the future can be sold all over the country. Someone stared at Lao Zhang's back and said.
"Heh, doesn't this mean that he is more dependent on Jiagu, I look at Lao Zhang, the trouble is behind. The old marquis said with a forced smile.
The people who were unhappy with Lao Zhang also laughed along with him.
Suddenly, another acquaintance squeezed in: "You don't know yet, Lao Zhang's company has been nominated for the National Assured Grain and Oil Demonstration Enterprise Certification, and it is said that nine times out of ten it will be certified......"
Ga.
The laughter of several people was stopped as if they were ducks choked by the neck.
Lao Hou's eyes widened even more.
"National Assured Grain and Oil Demonstration Enterprise" is not just a title.
Being awarded this honor can be supported by the government.
Although for large enterprises, most of the time, such support is insignificant, it is more a manifestation of honor. But for a third-tier company like them, even in terms of financing channels, being able to get more low-interest loans from banks can help a lot.
Why!
The one who is really jealous of Lao Zhang is still a boss with a similar net worth to him and a similar company status.
Could it be that just because Lao Zhang hugged Jiagu's thigh, everyone will have to divide into three, six, nine and so on in the future?
Such a step to the sky, and where to put everyone's efforts - even if everyone's efforts are reflected in eating, drinking, and pulling relationships, after all, everyone comes over like this, why did you float to the clouds and lie down?
A group of people watched the list after the announcement, and Lao Zhang, who was surrounded to congratulate, felt even more unbalanced.
But unbalance is unbalanced, and everyone knows that Lao Zhang, who hugged his thighs, is indeed different.
Everyone knows that in the future development of flour, safety, green and nutrition will be the main keynote.
But the world is easier said than done.
They are different from large flour enterprises, with a large amount of capital, and can ignore the efficiency for a long time, and only pay attention to the right to speak in the market. It is not easy for their factories to survive under the suppression of giants, and it is more than a fantasy.
Now it seems that moving closer to Jiagu is the best choice. Jiagu can help partners to make market considerations, and at the same time analyze the differences in the local wheat growing environment, select suitable "improved" varieties, and launch special flour that is different from ordinary flour.
Although this process is inevitably subject to Jiagu, it is also an upgrading process of modern food production management.
There are less than 100 state-level assured grain and oil demonstration enterprises in Henan Province, one of the largest granaries in the country.
You don't have to do any work, you don't have to drink until you vomit, and you don't have to run from department to department and suddenly get a ......
"This old Zhang, it's really lucky. "Everyone is inevitably going to talk about it.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Lao Zhang will be able to sit back and relax in the future. There are not one or two companies that have been disqualified as partners by the Jiagu system because of lax management.
But at least for the moment, Lao Zhang is much better off than those of them who have an uncertain future.
The point is, even if they want to do the same, they don't know how long they'll have to wait.
Nor did the Jiagu cooperatives spread across the country's wheat-producing areas overnight. The amount of wheat produced in Jiagu determines the number of partners.
"Damn, why didn't I know to be decisive in the first place!" The person who spoke was already full of sour taste in his heart.
