Chapter 270: Prospects for Intelligent Agriculture
Qiao Jia couldn't have imagined that his younger brother's ideal was so 'ambitious'!
'Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work', and the career of 'farming' is surprisingly in line with Qiao Liang's character!
Qiao Liang has a similar attitude towards money as Qiao Jia, they both like solid money.
It's just that because of the huge investment in Central Africa, Joga had to step into the financial world and cooperated with Garmi to establish a 'pirate fund'.
And Qiao Liang wants to 'farm'......
Qiao Jia didn't know what to say, he just told his brother that he wanted to choose a meaningful career, and it didn't seem very good to splash him cold water at this time.
Qiao Jia's eyes and mind have been completely opened in the past two years, and he has a little understanding of the underlying logic of the operation of this world.
Qiao Liang wants to do intelligent farming, but also with a solar unmanned airship, this can not be intensive farming, it must be a large area of industrial planting, then he can choose not too many types.
In addition to a few grains, soybeans and, at most, some vegetables suitable for large-scale cultivation, what else can there be?
The business of 'farming', assuming that there is no state support and subsidies or the support of big capital behind it, is not an industry that makes a lot of money in any country.
Natural and man-made disasters are only the two that do the least harm in the inevitable difficulties of 'farming', and these two can already make you lose all your money.
What's more, you don't have the pricing power to what you grow.
The most ridiculous thing about this world is that agricultural producers earn the least amount of money in the industrial chain.
It's like those dairy giants don't raise their own cows, but spread the risk and make the most profit themselves.
The world's super agricultural giants grow their own land, just to hedge the basic plate of risks, and their profits lie in reaping profits from farmers and the financial market by means of price manipulation and other means!
Any regime and financial capital knows the importance of food to this world, so no one has thought of making farmers a lot of money, because stable food prices are the basis of all stability.
Governments with a conscience will subsidize farmers because they know that farmers work hard and they know how important they are.
And what about being caught in a completely market-oriented agricultural market?
The United States relied on the US-Mexico trade agreement to completely defeat Mexico's agriculture by using industrial planting, forcing Mexican farmers to grow hemp, and then ...... Wall Street took the lion's share of the profits.
Individual peasants will never be able to compete with the monopolistic financial giants!
They can cause fluctuations in world food prices with a casual wave of the baton, and you can only follow his rhythm.
Qiao Jia was able to free up a large area of land in Central Africa for Qiao Liang to experiment with his ideas, but he invested in unmanned airships, established intelligent networks, and purchased large-scale mechanized farm tools......
If you want to make money from this kind of agricultural investment, you must go on a scale, hundreds of thousands of acres are not worth thinking about, when the land reaches millions of acres, these advanced things add up, how many years do you have to plant the land to return to the capital?
Moreover, in the territory of Central Africa, where grain cannot be sold at a price, there are no railways here, and road transportation is also a mess, can we still expect China and Africa to build a few highways in order to sell grain?
The industry with such a high investment in farming, but can only be settled once a year, at most twice, may be the industry with the lowest investment cost performance in the world.
If Qiao Liang said that he farmed just to eat enough and live a well-off life, then Qiao Jia must be fine, but he wants to make a lot of money, what is the matter?
Intelligence, informatization seems to have become a panacea in the eyes of the Chinese people, and it seems that any industry that takes these two things will become a promising project, and even college students like Qiao Liang are a little brainwashed.
But in fact, there is no policy to open the way for you, there is no investment of large capital, and you use the labor cost and management cost saved by intelligent informatization, and that little money will not support the day you become bigger and stronger.
However, looking at the determined expression on Qiao Liang's face, Qiao Jia sighed and said, "Then let's do it, let's start with the unmanned airship."
At least this stuff will work for me, and it should be enough for you to get a small bargain on your farm in the future.
You think about where is the most suitable place to farm, and my suggestion is to find a way abroad, because you can't get enough subsidies at home, so you are burning money. ”
Qiao Liang looked at Qiao Jia with a slightly awkward expression, and said: "Brother, I heard what you did just now, in fact, I think I can try it in Central Africa, as long as industrialization can keep up, a large amount of grain can be ......."
"Stop!"
Joga interrupted his brother's whim with a wave of his hand, he himself has controlled the economic lifeline of Central Africa for the next ten years, and you still want to break in and control their grain market even if you haven't graduated from college?
This is not a profitable business, you are a college student and still want to control the lifeblood of others to hedge losses? Looking for death?
Although the agriculture here is harvested, it also solves the problem of feeding most people.
The Central African government simply does not have the ability to regulate the market for agricultural products, and now the peasants are no matter how miserable they are, as long as they do not have to fight, they can still eat, and the surplus agricultural products can be exchanged for a little material.
Unless you want to do pure charity, otherwise you aim the grain sales market at the local Central Africa, when the scale of your industry increases, your idea of reducing spending a little bit will be accurately reflected in the market, and the wheel of the market economy will be accompanied by technological agriculture to crush the farmers of Afika.
Then it will not be a Mexican concept, the industrial system of Central Africa will not be able to accommodate so many peasants, and those peasants who will not have enough to eat will make this the bottom of hell.
At that time, people like Qiao Liang will become the target of their crusade, and when they have to do so, the local government will push him out to block the knife.
Resolutely rejecting Qiao Liang's idea, Qiao Jia hesitated and said, "I don't know how to farm, but I can still give you some advice on where to plant."
Don't take it for granted that controlling a local agricultural market is a terrible thing, in fact, in some places, controlling grain is more dangerous than controlling arms.
I have met a lot of Chinese agricultural experts in NanSD, and they used to help the locals only to guide them how to farm, and never thought of helping them upgrade agriculture to the level of industrialization, because if it is small, it will not make money, and if it is big, the local people will not be able to control it.
Do you think you're the only smart person in the world?
If you want to farm, you can plant it in a down-to-earth manner, and if you want to engage in intelligence, you can do it in a down-to-earth manner.
It's really done, let's go to those developed countries to promote your set of things, after all, saving manpower and management costs, in developed countries and Afica are two different concepts. ”
Qiao Liang is only twenty years old, he doesn't understand many things, there should be all in the University of Political Economy, but how many people can really learn it?
Essentially, Qiao Liang is a computer technician, and now he plans to apply this technology to the agricultural field.
Just when the conversation between the two brothers reached an impasse, Chris, who didn't know when he appeared next to them, suddenly said: "The best place for intelligent agriculture should be Germany, but the most promising place should be Eastern Europe, because there are large areas of flat land."
Unmanned agricultural machinery is already available in Germany, and similar products are available in Sweden under the Atlas Copco Group.
If your brother's intelligent management system can really be established, then this project is still valuable. ”
Saying that, Chris whistled and said with a smile: "Sitting in front of the computer and farming, this is a very advanced concept.
It shouldn't be an agricultural company, it's a technology company.
I've played a farming game before, and let's say that the game is realistic, so that people can use their phones to manage their farms in their spare time, and finally be able to reap the fruits of rented land......"
Qiao Jia saw that his brother's eyes lit up, as if he had found a soulmate, he smashed his mouth and shook his head and said: "Don't listen to him, let people pay money to rent land on the Internet, buy fertilizer seeds, and then farm their own land, and the price of agricultural products will be much higher than the market in the end, and the value gap will offset people's desire to play."
He said that making money is to find the lowest land price, use ultra-low land rents and game-style agriculture to attract users, use a Ponzi scheme-like way to quickly accumulate capital, and then seek financing to go public, and retreat after a wave of money. ”
Saying that, Qiao Jia looked at his younger brother's eyes that were still glowing, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Doing a realistic farm game must end up with chicken feathers, but if you really make up your mind, it's not impossible to operate."
This guy is a broker, I can ask him to help find the right land in the right place, and then you can give it a try.
If you can really attract a group of players, as long as you standardize the rules of the game, you can hedge part of the upfront investment, which is also in line with your feeling of smart agriculture.
However, blowing up balloons and making money is not suitable for our brothers, we can't do such unconscionable things, and this is not a meaningful cause. ”
As soon as Chris heard Joga loosen his mouth, he took a bottle of beer and sat down, and said with a smile: "I'm really interested, I have a farm in Sweden, if this intelligent management system can really work, I will be the first to place an order, I have always wanted to be a farmer, but unfortunately my feet are not suitable for the muddy ground." ”
Saying that, Chris looked at Qiao Liang, who still had a green face, he hesitated, sighed and said: "If it is just to make money, I should recommend you to go to Ukraine to buy land, because your brother has arms channels in his hands, and we can easily get cheap land from Dongwu."
But I've seen your brother's stubbornness, and things haven't been going on very well there.
Actually, if your brother is willing to venture into Ukraine and take some of the grain reserves there...... Forget it, he won't do it!
So I recommend that you consider Brazil or Bolivia, and if your brother is willing to send someone to support you, Peru is not out of the question.
The land in these places is cheap and the environment is great, and if you really want to do this, I can consider investing in a part.
Even in the worst-case scenario, the system holds promise in Northern Europe. ”
Qiao Liang doesn't know what's wrong?
I just mentioned that I was going to carry out modern agriculture in Central Africa, but I was taught a lesson by my brother, and now this clueless career actually has a little shadow of an agricultural company in this Chris's mouth.
God knows, Qiao Liang was going to try it at the home of a classmate in the Northeast at the beginning, and he left half of the money his brother gave him, which was to use it as the money to rent the land.
Why is it now East Ukraine and South America? Is it so easy to buy land abroad?
Why does his brother seem to be a little omnipotent in Chris's place?
Compared with Qiao Liang's simplicity, Qiao Jia was much more sober, he looked at Chris, who looked like Zhizhu was in his hands, shook his head and said: "My brother's career, I don't need you to invest, I can talk about things if I have something......"
