"We have less than 5 million in liquidity." Zhou Lindao.

"5 million can maintain the current normal operation, but I am afraid that there are other market risks. In the past two days, I have transferred some shares out of the secondary market and regained some of my ability to resist risks.

However, I don't know if there are other operations on the side of Kewei Group. ”

Chen Cheng nodded as he listened.

A few months ago, Qian Da of the Hanxi Branch of Huanong Group also engaged in Hanxi Nongfeng in this way.

So they have to prepare for the worst.

"Is there anything else that can be done to reduce the risk now?" Chen Cheng asked.

Zhou Lin thought for a while and said: "It is not feasible to mortgage assets and abandon part of the industrial chain, and Kewei Group will take the opportunity to snipe us." The only way to do this is to bring in capital for shares, or to switch to new technologies on a large scale. ”

"I mean, is it possible not to sell this wheat? Don't you also have a brewery? Chen Cheng asked.

Zhou Lin shook his head and said: "The brewery's output can't keep up, and it can't eat so much wheat, and it can consume one-third of the wheat at most." In addition, this brewery was reluctantly established in order to sign a cooperation agreement with the government of the main wheat-producing region.

Their technical strength is not good, and the sales volume of products in the market cannot be increased. So more investment won't save it. ”

Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "Dong Zhou, I'll tell you directly." Some of my agricultural technologies are technically confidential, and I really don't want to cooperate with you in depth. In the future, we can carry out joint development and other methods. But it is unrealistic to say that a lot of our technology is put in Huanong Group. ”

"Thank you for your sincerity." Zhou Lindao.

Having said that, Chen Cheng still observed a hint of loneliness flashing across his face.

"Dong Chou, isn't the most important thing in beer fermentation technology? I've done microbiology research before, and I wondered if it would be possible to develop a technology in this area and use it to attract investment and stake in the brewery, both to make the brewery bigger and just to eat all the wheat. ”

"I think so!" Han Qi on the side said: "In this way, those people in the Grain Merchants Association can be completely helpless." ”

Zhou Lin thought for a while and asked, "How sure are you?" ”

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "I dare not say it now, but I think that if I talk about modifying microorganisms, my technical reserves are very rich." ”

Han Qi said: "Chairman, you have to believe in Chen Cheng's technical level. The wheat in Hanzhong Province is like that, and he can develop new technologies to bring them back to life in a matter of days. He's a genius! ”

Zhou Lin didn't doubt Chen Cheng's technical level, but pondered whether this method was the best solution.

If you don't have to sell the wheat, but transfer it to the brewery, this is definitely the best way to preserve the value, which means that the wheat is not at a loss.

Moreover, it can smoothly solve the trap that the grain merchants association is preparing to put on the Huanong Group.

As long as it is not sold, the grain merchants association will have no room for operation, and as long as it recovers its capital, Kewei Group will have no room for operation.

Zhou Lin even felt that he could also pit the grain merchant association.

"If you can really help the brewery develop new technology, it can really solve the current crisis." Zhou Lindao.

Chen Cheng got up, shook hands with Zhou Lin, and said, "Okay." I'll do my best. ”

...

Chen Cheng asked Han Qi to send someone to the brewery to pick up the production process and their yeast, and he returned to the Agricultural University.

He understands that only by developing new technologies for brewing beer can he help Huanong Group out of this crisis.

Through this incident, he found that Zhou Lin was indeed a partner who could be worthy of cooperation. At least what he promised, he will do his best to achieve it.

Even if it can be very harmful to yourself.

In this matter, Zhou Lin gave up his reason as the chairman of a listed company, and chose to 'act with Chen Cheng'.

Chen Cheng understood his thoughts, so he thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

By the time the beer company sent someone to send the materials and samples the next day, Chen Cheng had already learned almost the beer brewing technology.

Although he is engaged in agricultural technology, beer brewing is mostly about microorganisms, except for the process and machinery.

And that's just within his technical range.

Chen Cheng brought the brewery's microbes close to his eyes and scanned their information into the system.

Beer is made from malt and barley malt as the main raw materials, with hops, liquid lake, saccharification, and then liquid fermentation.

Beer is low in alcohol and contains carbon dioxide, which is highly nutritious. It contains a variety of amino acids, vitamins, low-molecular-weight sugars, inorganic salts, and various enzymes.

These nutrients are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. The low-molecular-weight sugars and amino acids in beer are easily digested and absorbed, and produce a lot of heat energy in the body, so beer is often called "liquid bread".

Brewer's yeast is the yeast used to brew beer. Depending on the type of beer, it is divided into many different varieties.

Brewer's yeast is a typical top-fermenting yeast commonly used in beer production. The bacteria has high content of vitamins and proteins, and can be used as edible, medicinal and feed yeast, and can also extract cytochrome C, nucleic acid, glutathione, coagulation, coenzyme A and adenosine triphosphate from it.

In fact, the principle of beer brewing is very simple. It is the process of fermentation using yeast under relative conditions and using fermentable substances in wheat.

What many people don't know is that the beer we drink is actually a metabolite of yeast.

The beer production process can be divided into four processes: malting, saccharification, fermentation and packaging. One of the most important is the fermentation process.

The fermentation process is generally carried out in the fermenter maturation tank. Brewer's yeast is added to the cooled wort to ferment it. The sugars in the wort are broken down into alcohol and carbon dioxide, and after about a week, a "tender beer" is produced, which is then matured over dozens of days.

During the fermentation process, artificially cultivated yeast converts the fermentable sugars in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide to produce beer.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Once the yeast has fermented all the material available for fermentation in the wort, it begins to form a thick layer of sediment at the bottom of the vessel. After 8~10 days, the fermentation is completely over.

Throughout the production process, the temperature and pressure need to be strictly controlled.

Of course, different beers and different production processes lead to different fermentation times. Normally, the fermentation process takes about 6 days for lager beer and about 5 days for sorcerer beer.

Several well-known breweries in China have their own special processes.

Of course, this includes specially cultured yeasts.
