735. Agricultural Company
After finalizing the business development of Meituan Takeaway in Beitong, Zhou Fangyuan left the party.
What should be said has been said, what should be done has been done, and he will not mix with the rest of the things, anyway, he doesn't really want to come over for a drink and eat, just thinking about these classmates, some of them have cooperated with their families for a long time, and some have joined the group, so they provide them with some small benefits, and don't dare to say anything else, Zhou Fangyuan's family can still have the final say in the matter of this delivery rider, and give these students some benefits, and it is not in vain for their support for so many years. As for the greater benefits, then I'm sorry, that's not something these classmates can interfere with, their fathers and elders are about the same.
There is nothing to say about the rest of the things, they can continue to play if they want to, Zhou Fangyuan has a lot of things here, and there is no time to continue to waste here with them.
Coming out of the KTV, Zhou Fangyuan took a car directly to the office building of Yuanfang Agriculture. Of course, he didn't drive himself, not to mention that he had drunk, even if he didn't drink, he was now a rich man, where was there a reason to drive himself, so he was responsible for driving for him, was the top driver within the company's security department, retired from the army, and had a good driving technique when he was in the army, and also mastered a lot of special driving skills, the vehicles that can be seen on the market, basically there is no one he can't drive, including those large machinery used on the construction site, he can also drive, he can also fly planes, helicopters, boats, in short, this is a more all-round brother。
After returning to the place, he entered the security department of the Yuanfang Group, and after a short period of rigorous assault training, he had a certain bodyguard ability, and his driving skills were greatly improved.
So he was assigned to Zhou Fangyuan as a driver, and occasionally he could make a cameo appearance as a bodyguard or something.
Coming to the headquarters of Yuanfang Agriculture, my father has been waiting here for a long time, of course, not specifically waiting for Zhou Fangyuan, in fact, before he arrived, Yuanfang Agriculture was holding a high-level meeting.
The content of today's meeting is the next development direction of distant agriculture.
Since the year before last, Zhou Fangyuan asked Yuanfang Agriculture to start taking land nationwide, and now two years have passed, Yuanfang Agriculture has invested heavily in the establishment of hundreds of large-scale farms in the country, almost every province has them, and there are more small and medium-sized farms.
In the past two or three years, distant agriculture has mobilized more than 2 billion yuan of soft sister currency, and the land has been taken nationwide, not to mention the foreign ones, and the land on Maozi's side is not counted in it, and the domestic ones alone have spent more than 200 million yuan. And this kind of investment is not over, Yuanfang Agriculture plans to continue to invest more than 2 billion yuan in the next five years, not only to acquire land, but also to carry out in-depth development of the land that has been won.
Special planting, special breeding, large-scale planting, large-scale breeding...... As long as it can make money, do it.
Of course, there are some things that can not be mixed without mixing, such as grain planting, the water in this is also very deep, and the distant group is not incapable of intervening, but it is not necessary. Moreover, food involves people's livelihood issues, and small-scale self-agricultural production does not matter, anyway, there are large consortiums to buy it. For example, the scale of billions of dollars invested by the Yuanfang Group is thrown into it all at once, but it will have an impact on food prices. While more food is better for countries, it is not necessarily good news for large food groups. So what does it mean to grow it and sell it directly to these big groups? Isn't that working for someone else? What's the point?
Furthermore, they may not be willing to have such a competitor as the Yuanfang Group, or that sentence, the Yuanfang Group is not unqualified to enter this field, nor is it that they are afraid of these behemoths, but it is not worth it. Isn't it bad to get something else? Why do we have to get grain? And as long as the land is there, if the country really needs more grain at any time, or if there is any problem with the import channel, it is not impossible for the Yuanfang Group to change the direction of production, so for the time being, Zhou Fangyuan does not want Yuanfang Agriculture to enter the field of grain production.
You can grow food in a small area, but it is not sold to the outside world, at most as a welfare within the group, or Zhou Fangyuan can give it to people or something, that's it.
And not only in terms of land, in the coastal area, Yuanfang Group also contracts with many mariculture farms. There is almost everything from fisheries to shrimp, crabs and shellfish, but the fishing grounds are basically not sold to the outside world, and they are completely self-produced and sold. Kim Polo now has more than 1,500 branches in China, and the various ingredients consumed every day are massive. A simple algorithm, of course, the sales in big cities are more violent, and the almost, let's say shrimp burger, a shrimp burger, just use the most ordinary sea shrimp, how can a shrimp burger need four or five shrimp shrimp, according to the amount, this is about the amount of one or two at the same time, maybe a little more or less, just according to a shrimp burger needs one or two shrimp.
In the store of Jinbolo, the sales of shrimp burgers are high and low, but it is almost calculated that it is not a problem for a store to sell an average of more than ten shrimp burgers per day, and even put this number to 20.
So on average, the amount of shrimp consumed by Jin Polo every day is 3,000 catties of shrimp, almost 5,000 catties of shrimp, and not only the shrimp burger needs shrimp, but also the Chinese fast food in the Jin Polo store, there are also a lot of shrimp needs, as well as food companies. Therefore, it is different from the farm, these marine farms, the things raised, basically have no export channels, not that they cannot be established, but the output cannot keep up, Zhou Fangyuan didn't think about how big the scale of development in this area was at first, he just wanted to be self-sufficient.
The sales of seafood itself are not large in Jinbolo. The real power is still the chicken.
All the pastures under the distant agriculture produce thousands of tons of chickens every day, not only the gold polo to use, the distant food company will also process semi-finished products to sell, and now some small brands of fast food restaurants have begun to appear everywhere in the country, or local small shops, the consumption of these small shops is not a small number, thousands of tons per day looks not small, but the production capacity is still not enough, because the market demand is too large.
This is not the same as when Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, since China's accession to the WTO, the market activity has been further enhanced, the surplus money in the hands of the people has gradually increased, and the requirements for the quality of life have also increased. Zhou Fangyuan still remembers that in his previous life, although his life was not particularly good, he usually didn't care about eating meat or anything. In the era when he had just been reborn, eating meat had to be calculated a little, and this was the change.
A change in one family is nothing, but what if thousands of families are changing? chicken, pork, beef, mutton...... Almost all the demand for meat is increasing, the semi-finished products produced by the distant food company or simply the raw meat, that is basically the state of short supply, to put it mildly, as long as he can produce it, that is how much to how much rhythm, and even many large hotels are purchased from the distant food company, so the production capacity continues to increase, there is no need to worry about surplus. And to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Yuanfang Agriculture was completely self-made, and all the breeding experience was accumulated by himself little by little, Zhou Fangyuan would not have been able to expand production immediately.
But unfortunately, there are many technical difficulties in large-scale farming, which is far from being as simple as small-scale farmers' own production, not to mention that the more large-scale farming, the more necessary it is to do a good job in epidemic prevention, otherwise once there is a little problem, it will be the result of the entire population being finished. Last year, that is, in 04 years, there was a very large-scale outbreak of avian influenza, good guys, at that time, several farms in distant agriculture were directly closed, with direct losses of hundreds of millions, and indirect losses are immeasurable. Fortunately, the bird flu itself in Beitong is not serious, and the people below reacted quickly, and they immediately carried out all-round epidemic prevention work when there was a little sign, which stopped the loss, otherwise it would have spread once...... Zhou Fangyuan didn't dare to think about the consequences.
All in all, large-scale breeding is not easy, the market demand is gradually increasing, and distant agriculture is also stepping up, wanting to catch up with the pace of market development as much as possible. It's just that there are many difficulties, and it's not easy to improve. There doesn't seem to be a good way to do it other than to open a few more farms.
Therefore, the main work of agriculture in the distance at this stage is, on the one hand, to strengthen the original products, to start production, to get on the right track as soon as possible, and to expand the number of production. It has developed very well, and according to market demand, the production capacity is also expanded. In addition, it is to develop in a more special aspect.
Planting, such as spices and grapes, is a better way to go. In fact, some people may wonder, why doesn't Yuanfang Group develop fruit planting?
In fact, there are orchards in the surrounding areas of Beitong City, and there are orchards in many places, but the area is very small, mainly self-produced and sold, large orchards, and the kind of external sales, and the Yuanfang Group is not ready to get involved. There is also the fruit of the southern tropics, and the distant group is also not ready to meddle.
It is not easy to grow tropical fruits, mainly because the requirements for climate and soil are too high, and there are not many areas in China that can grow tropical fruits. However, the market demand is huge, so there are only a few areas in China where tropical fruits can be grown, and the life of local fruit farmers can be said to be quite good, and it is not easy to get them to sell their land. What's more, the water in it is also very deep, almost no less than food, especially when it comes to pricing in a certain industry, which can be so deep that people can drown alive. Zhou Fangyuan is not stupid, he is not short of this money, why bother to make trouble for himself?
Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan is not involved in these fields, including spices, except for vegetables and breeding, all other planting industries, he is basically prepared to produce and sell himself, and does not sell to the outside world.
Well, the only exception is grapes.
The main grapes can make wine, there are some places in China that are very suitable for planting grapes, and in this year, the demand for red wine is not as large as that of later generations, some of the more powerful brands in later generations have not yet appeared, and some large groups have not yet entered the market, so Yuanfang Group has taken the lead in entering the field of grape planting. Whether it can finally enter the sales field, this is really not very important, the big deal is self-production and self-sale, the group has developed to this day, the scale is so large, and the subordinate employees have already reached the scale of tens of thousands of people. No one rewards a bottle of red wine every year, which is tens of thousands. Of course, it's not possible for everyone to reward a bottle of red wine, but it makes sense.
And at present, there are only two vineyards under the distant agriculture, and the production capacity is also limited, these things, on the one hand, can have some role now, and on the other hand, they also leave a seed. If it is necessary to adjust the industry in the future, it will not be completely targeted, and how much effect it can have now...... Zhou Fangyuan really didn't think about it that way.
Today, he came to Yuanfang Agriculture, on the one hand, to attend a high-level meeting, and the content of the meeting was mainly on the adjustment of the planting structure.
At present, there are two factions within the distant agriculture, which are not really the kind of factions, but there are two different opinions on the adjustment of the planting structure. One is that I should work hard to develop in the field of agriculture and food, and the reason is quite sufficient, although there are many fathers and grandfathers above, as long as the scale of planting goes up, even if the above is purchased, relying on the background of the distant group, it will not be squeezed by the other party. Moreover, agriculture is related to the people's livelihood of the country, and if it is developed well, this is a gold medal for avoiding death. But the opinion of the opponent is also very simple, since the agricultural and food field is already a herd of giant crocodiles, why bother to enter and intervene again?
If you want to talk about the death-free gold medal, how can there be any real death-free gold medal in these years, as long as you develop well, operate seriously, don't mess around, with the status of the Yuanfang Group today, there are few who dare to directly attack the Yuanfang Group. What's more, the group is not without help, it is really making a fuss, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose. Of course, this is all an afterthought, the premise is that as long as everyone runs the business well and does not break the law or violate the law, who will be stupid enough to come over and take the initiative to offend the distant group?
The opponents mean that on the one hand, they will strengthen the breeding area and increase their production capacity, and on the other hand, they will try to increase the number of orchards in the southern region and improve the varieties of fruit produced by the group. As a result, the side that insisted on agricultural grain cultivation was not satisfied, and they pointed out that the fruit field did not have any obvious importance, and it was okay for the common people not to eat fruits, although the profits were good, but there was no obvious benefit to the group and the company.
The two sides have been arguing endlessly, and they have been arguing for months over this matter.
Zhou Fangyuan came today to solve this matter.
