Chapter 257: Tricked
Xu Qing thought about the current situation in the food industry, the world's largest food company is Nestlé, with sales exceeding $40 billion last year.
Until the time of Xu Qing's crossing, Nestlé was the world's largest food company, with sales of more than $100 billion at that time.
Nestle is a Swiss company, while the largest food company in the United States is Kraft Foods Group, coincidentally, translated into Chinese, Xu's Carney Foods and Kraft Foods both have a card word.
Although they are all card members, Kraft Foods is much larger than Carney Foods, and now its assets are tens of billions of dollars, more than 30 times that of Carney Foods.
The food industry is not a sunrise industry, nor is it a sunset industry, and the characteristic of this industry is to move forward steadily.
Food companies may not be able to go from zero to hundreds of billions of dollars in just a few years, like Internet companies.
But every year the number of people in the world is increasing, and the wealth is also increasing, so the demand for food is also increasing all the time, so the profits of food companies are very good.
And more importantly, there is a lot of cash flow in this industry, and a food company with assets of tens of billions of dollars usually has more than $5 billion in cash flow.
And an Internet company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars often has a cash flow of only a billion dollars, or even less.
There are too many inflated Internet companies, and even if the development of the Internet in later generations is relatively standardized, there are still a large number of Internet companies with inflated market capitalization.
Needless to say, the benefits of cash flow are just the need to know that you have money in hand and do whatever you want.
If Xu Qing really wants to take over the Carney Group, then he must hope that the Carney Group will develop into a giant in the global food industry under his hands.
How can I do it, Xu Qing was a little depressed.
The old man's voice sounded: "Ah Qing, sooner or later you have to take over the Carney Group, I don't ask you to develop it into a 10 billion dollar company, you just don't let it go bankrupt." ”
Xu Qing raised his head, how could the meaning of the old man's words be different from just now?
The old man smiled and said, "When I said that you should take over the Carney Group, I began to feel depressed when I saw your expression, maybe I thought things were too simple before.
I think that you have developed the companies of the Glory Group so big, and there is a way to develop the Carney Group very big, and the food industry is different from those industries of yours, and it is too unlikely that you want to develop and grow all at once.
Who has made you perform so amazingly in recent years, from a few million dollars to now having a net worth of more than 3 billion US dollars, it can be said to be a miracle, so that grandpa has the illusion that you can do anything. ”
Xu Qing's heart was secretly refreshed, it turned out that he was an incompetent image in the old man's heart, which was really beautiful.
No, he can't destroy the image in the old man's heart, no matter how difficult it is, he wants to develop the Carney Group into a global food industry giant.
"Grandpa, I promised to take over the Carney Group, and I will definitely develop it into a giant in the global food industry. Xu Qing affirmed.
"Huh?" The old man wondered, wasn't Xu Qing very resistant to taking over the Carney Group just now, how did he change his mind: "You don't have to force yourself, what I said just now is nonsense." ”
"I can do it. Xu Qing said.
"There's no need to push yourself. Grandpa said.
Xu Qing couldn't cry or laugh, just now the old man wanted him to take over the Carney Group, Xu Qing resisted, and now on the other hand, Xu Qing wanted to take over the Carney Group, but the old man refused.
Is this called something?
In the end, the old man confirmed that Xu Qing really wanted to take over the Carney Group, so he agreed.
Xu Qing is so helpless, it was his grandfather who begged him to take over the Carney Group, but now he is begging his grandfather.
Could it be that this is grandpa's plan, not only let Xu Qing sincerely take over the Carney Group, but also set up a military order for his grandfather to develop and grow the Carney Group.
Xu Qing looked at his grandfather's smile, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was very likely.
"Ah Qing, what are you looking at?" said Grandpa with a smile.
"I feel like it's all in your hands, from the beginning I didn't want to take over the Carney Group, to begging to take over. Xu Qing said with a blank of eyes.
"I don't know what you're talking about, work hard, I believe that the Carney Group will grow in your hands. Grandpa happily left the study.
Jiang is still old and spicy, the fox is still old and cunning, and he was tricked by his grandfather, Xu Qing was a little depressed.
A depressed Xu Qing took his pets and walked around the farm.
Black Bean and Black Pearl like the farm very much, because the farm is very large, they can have fun to their heart's content, and the two guys ran far away at once, and then quickly ran back to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked at the two guys bouncing around and looking like they were not tired.
On the contrary, the blue fat man doesn't like the endless farm, and there is not much to cover it, which makes it very insecure, so it can only follow Xu Qing inch by inch.
Furball also doesn't like the farm, the reason is very simple, there are no beauties to watch, not only are there no beauties to see, but there are not a few people to see, which makes the furball, who likes to be lively very much, very depressed.
Slip from the big villa to the slide hill and look at the clear blue sky.
The winter sky is the bluest of the 4 seasons, and the air in Montana is always good, and the sky is even more blue and pure, which is very beautiful.
Xu Qing looked up at the sky for more than half a minute, and wanted to retract his head, uh, his neck was numb.
As a last resort, Xu Qing made hundreds of head-turning movements to make his neck feel better.
Carlyle couldn't help laughing beside them, Xu Qing didn't want to pay attention to these vulgar people, the sky was so spicy and beautiful, and they didn't know how to appreciate it.
Xu Qing returned to the villa slowly, his grandfather was writing couplets, his grandfather's calligraphy was very good, and the couplets at home every year were written by his grandfather.
Xu Qing saw that his hands were itchy, and he also wanted to write, he had also practiced calligraphy before, and the most he practiced was the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and Ouyang Xun, and the words written could still be read.
Sophia thought it was interesting and wanted to write, Xu Qing taught her by hand, Sophia can now write some simple Chinese characters, Xu Qing asked her to write Fu character brush characters.
The words written were miserable, Xu Qing continued to teach, Sophia continued to write, the two taught one to write, and smiled at each other from time to time.
Grandpa couldn't stand it anymore, obviously he was writing couplets, but it turned into a show of affection, and grandpa took his brush, ink, and blank red paper to another study.
Sophia stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed, Xu Qing shook her hand and said that it didn't matter, in fact, grandpa was very happy in his heart.
The more affectionate Xu Qing and Sophia are, the sooner they will have children, and grandpa can't wait for the two of them to show affection all the time.
After a few hours, Sophia was finally able to write a more upright brush font, which was limited to uprightness and could not be called calligraphy.
Sophia didn't care, she wrote a couplet seriously: Flowers bloom and become rich, and bamboo reports peace.
Xu Qing also wrote a couplet: The days increase the years, the people increase the longevity, the spring is full of the universe and the blessings are full.
After writing the couplet, it was around 5 p.m., and my parents came back.
