289 Hundreds of millions of dollars in agricultural foreign exchange earning programmes
After noon, it was everyone's free time, the weather was not bad, and Chen Zhiwen was going to go to his uncle Chen Tianshou to have a look.
Chen Tianshou has been transferred to Yanjing City, and the whole family has also come together, and the husband and wife have also obtained good positions in Yanjing City, and they don't need to travel much.
Two Audi cars drove to the mouth of an alley, which attracted the attention of many people, even in Yanjing City, there is only one in ten thousand people who can own a car, and if you have a little vision and know that this is a car imported from abroad, then you will know more about the value.
"Chen Sheng, this alley is too narrow for cars to enter." One of his men came up and said.
"It's okay, let's go inside." Chen Zhiwen nodded, this is the more famous old city of Yanjing City, there are many old houses in it, no matter what dynasty, this is a relatively good location, the houses inside are naturally very crowded, and many small courtyard houses are also among them.
A few people walked down the alley, there were too many houses inside, even if they had house numbers, and it took a few people to find a place.
"Uncle, auntie." Walking into a small courtyard, Chen Zhiwen immediately greeted his uncle and his wife when he saw him.
"Arwen, you're finally here, but your aunt has been complaining that I didn't pick you up." When Chen Tianshou saw his nephew, he immediately said with a smile.
"Auntie, this is what I requested, so I can walk around Yanjing City." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, in fact, Chen Tianshou was reluctant to go to the State Guesthouse, but this responsibility was borne by him, a junior.
"Okay, then come and sit here." The aunt dragged Chen Zhiwen to a small stone platform, and there were several small stone benches around it, and his bodyguard assistant confirmed that there was no problem, so they all went out to stay at the door.
"Come, drink some tea, these teas are not too good, just take a moment." Chen Tianshou took a few porcelain cups, then made tea, and said: "I can install a phone here after a while, mainly because there is no line in this area, and it will be much more convenient in the future, and your father can also call me directly." ”
"Is it difficult to install a phone in China now?" Chen Zhiwen asked, this is actually more important, easy communication, everything is much more convenient, Hong Kong has begun to install wireless towers, and soon Big Brother can start to popularize.
"It's very difficult, generally only state-owned enterprises and government agencies will have a telephone, and ordinary people can also apply at home, but it requires a fee of more than 2,000 yuan." Chen Tianshou said.
“2000? So expensive? Hong Kong doesn't even need such high prices? Chen Zhiwen said in surprise.
"I've heard that it's because a device needed for a phone needs to be imported, so the phone installation price is very expensive." Chen Tianshou said with a smile.
"It's supposed to be a switch, I know a little bit about that." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, the phone is connected through the line, and the terminal of each line needs to be connected to a program-controlled switch device, which is also one of the oldest communication equipment.
"I don't know much about it, I'm just going to tinker with agriculture." Chen Tianshou said with a smile: "Actually, I can be transferred to Yanjing, and people with a discerning eye know why, the people above still want me to go to the foreign trade department, how can I understand that." ”
"In fact, agriculture is the foundation of the country, uncle, you can also have opportunities in this field." Chen Zhiwen paused and said: "Actually, when I was in Tianjin before, you asked me if I could help some farmers, and there are not many things that can be done in Tianjin, but now if you work in Yanjing, uncle, there is a better plan, which can not only help many farmers in China, but also promote employment and obtain a lot of foreign exchange for the country, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars a year." ”
If the uncle was an ordinary person in China, then as early as more than a year ago, when he found them, Chen Zhiwen would definitely find a way to bring their family to Hong Kong, and his old man would definitely do the same.
However, since they have been officials in China for 20 years, and they have reached a certain position, it would be a pity to give up all this, for some capable people, maybe no matter what they do in China, they can't compare to going abroad, but Chen Zhiwen knows that as long as they survive the last ten years, the mainland economy will develop rapidly after the 90s, and as long as they can mix well, it doesn't make much sense to go overseas.
In addition, Chen Tianshou himself is willing to stay in the country, so he might as well use his own connections to promote his development, for Chen Tianshou, who has the heart to improve the lives of a large number of poor farmers, the higher the position, the more things he can do, and in addition, his investment can also be tilted in this direction.
"Hundreds of millions of dollars? What kind of solution? Is it also the export of some agricultural products? Chen Tianshou asked with some shock, 100 million US dollars, at a special time, this may be about the same as a small half of the country's foreign exchange reserves.
"Uncle, I'll show you something first." Chen Zhiwen took out an iron can from the backpack behind him, on which were written a bunch of English, as well as images of several fruits.
"Canned fruit?" Chen Tianshou recognized it at a glance.
"This kind of canned fruit in China, do you know what the price is?" Chen Zhiwen asked.
"Very expensive, a can may cost a few yuan, much more expensive than the fruit itself, I only went out of the country, I saw it in other places, this kind of canned food in China, very rare." Chen Tianshou said.
"There are few in China, but there are many abroad, and they are also very popular, and the price is much lower than that of fruits, and many people like to eat this kind of canned food in Europe and the United States." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.
Not to mention now, even in 50 years in China, there are not many canned food, not that there is a shortage or cannot be produced, but the market is very small, basically no one buys it, at least compared to the people who buy fruit, the ratio is too small.
And Europe and the United States and other overseas countries are different, these countries do not have many farmers, and all use the large farm model planting, which leads to the grain and meat (feed cheap) is very cheap, but many vegetables and fruits are not able to be produced on a large scale, which requires labor, and labor, in Europe and the United States is very expensive, plus transportation is the same, which leads to the United States supermarket fruit is relatively expensive.
It is true that the rich people in the United States will also pursue fresh fruits, but ordinary people only consume occasionally, and many people still choose canned food, plus Europe and the United States themselves have a very strong canned culture, not only fruit bald, other canned vegetables, canned meat, canned fish are very much, and the mainland canned food manufacturers in later generations mainly rely on exports.
"You mean, produce this canned fruit domestically and then export it overseas?" Chen Tianshou naturally understood.
Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "Yes, it's still the same as before, I am responsible for the overseas channels, and if I am in charge of the domestic side, I am responsible for the production plant and the source of fruits, I don't understand these, so I don't interfere too much, but if the domestic side needs funds, you can consider a joint venture, but you must meet the basic conditions." ”
Canned food, in fact, even if he does not intervene, in the next few years domestic manufacturers will also find this direction, one is that there are many smart people in the mainland, who were previously limited by not being able to go abroad, as long as these people have the opportunity to go out, and even communicate with overseas people, it is possible to find opportunities, and the other is that after the change, many overseas buyers, especially in agriculture, will also take the initiative to contact China, or through Hong Kong and China.
However, in terms of channels, there will definitely be no one like him in China, if you want to develop to a very high level, it may take until the 90s or even the 21st century, and if you invest the resources of Galaxy Trade in the domestic canned food field, you can accelerate the development of this industry to the limit, and at the same time achieve four goals: your own profits, the country's foreign exchange, farmers' income, more employment for workers, and so on.
"That's great, but there's a problem." Chen Tianshou continued: "In fact, a long time ago, the Ministry of Agriculture intended to promote fruit planting in many farm areas, and there were certain results, but transportation is a big problem, one place has good oranges, but it is not able to transport them to other places to sell, and the other place is similar, which leads to a lot of fruits can not be shipped, and the locals can't eat them at all, and a lot of them are wasted." ”
"Is it because of bad traffic?" Chen Zhiwen asked.
"This is one of them, and there are very few vehicles that can transport goods, trucks are very scarce in China, and even the transportation of living materials in many cities is not enough, and the transportation of fruits is too troublesome and easy to break." Chen Tianshou said.
"It's a little troublesome, but it's not unsolvable." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said: "The transportation of fruit is very troublesome, but canning is very simple, so you only need to produce canned food locally, the canning factory is built locally, and then transported to the port after being canned, if you can earn foreign exchange, you don't have to worry that the local government will not send a car."
As for the fruit out of the village, donkeys are also OK, some conditions are used to use a tractor, if the local internal roads are very bad, then I will send someone to investigate, as long as the local fruit production is large enough, then I will take out a little loan to repair some roads, and then use the cannery to pay it back. ”
This road repair is not a high-investment highway or a secondary road, this kind of highway is only suitable for the most economically developed first and second tier cities, ordinary places, road construction is actually very simple, in the previous life, Chen Zhiwen was a child when his family participated.
On the original road, fill in all kinds of pits, and then find a large number of small stones to pave on, this is the lowest cost of road repair methods, as long as there are no large cars passing by, and the rain is not very big, then this kind of road can cope with most of the demand, the demand for funds is not much, the stone can be obtained, things are relatively simple, just find some local farmers, and even give some meat to eat every day, it is estimated that the wages are not wanted.
"That's not bad." Chen Tianshou nodded and said.
"Uncle, then I'll leave this matter to you, you report to the leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture, and then you are responsible for the communication in the middle, how about it?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"You're going to give me a lot of credit!" Chen Tianshou naturally understood his nephew's intentions.
"It's one thing, but it's not all." Chen Zhiwen said very honestly: "There is no long-distance transportation of fruit in China, which leads to a large number of such factories, there may be hundreds, even if I send someone to supervise it, this needs you to be responsible, whether it is quality, output, fruit purchase price, etc., I still prefer to believe in the uncle." ”
"No matter what, I will report this matter to the top when I go to work tomorrow, if there are really hundreds of millions of dollars, I will definitely pay attention to it, but then the above does not agree that I will be responsible, you don't object." Chen Tianshou said.
"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, he actually believed that the people above would definitely agree, even if he was given a deputy position, it would be impossible to save his face.
For him, giving hundreds of domestic manufacturers such an opportunity, in fact, can also allow these manufacturers to take the opportunity to develop, the same platform competition, must be the king of victory, such enterprises, he can also invest, in the future 90s and even later, may have the opportunity to become the king of the domestic food or beverage industry.
In fact, not only canned food or commodities, as long as the livelihood supplies, can be used to use their own orders, to pick out the future possible king or one, so as to meet their own investment value, after all, history has changed too much, the future of domestic enterprises will become the king of textiles, clothing, food, no one knows, in these potential enterprises when the scale of investment, the least risk, the largest return, and even as long as you rely on stable orders, you can buy shares for free.
"Awen, I have prepared a hen, do you like braised or stewed soup?" The aunt, who had been busy in the kitchen for a while, came over and asked.
"Let's make a soup." Chen Zhiwen said. When you come to a relative's house, you naturally have to prepare for a meal here, although the taste may not be as good as the state guesthouse, but for so many years, it doesn't matter what mountain delicacies and game have not tasted.
"Okay, then I'll prepare the pressure cooker." The aunt left happily.
"Wen Jun is in the third year of junior high this year, right? Has the uncle ever considered sending him overseas? For example, going to high school in Hong Kong? Chen Zhiwen asked again.
"Forget it, he doesn't even know Cantonese and English, can he do it? And I'm more worried that he went overseas, and he was completely attracted, especially with a cousin like you, when he matured a little more mentally, almost when he was in college. Chen Tianshou said.
"That'll do fine." Chen Zhiwen nodded, at present, in China, not to mention students, many university professors would rather go to the United States to wash dishes, but the economic gap is too big.
"In the future, young people will choose their own path, but my words are still staying in the country to care for the elderly, and this courtyard house is very good." Chen Tianshou smiled and said.
"You bought this quadrangle, uncle?" Chen Zhiwen asked.
"Yes, it's actually the foreign exchange that your father gave me, and I used a little bit of it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford it." Chen Tianshou smiled and said.
"What's the price of this quadrangle?" Chen Zhiwen asked.
"If you buy it in RMB, it will cost about 20,000, but I used US dollars, almost 2,500 US dollars, and the previous landlord was ready to go abroad in US dollars, so I sold this courtyard." Chen Tianshou said.
"It's not very expensive, and the development of China in the future is estimated to be similar to Hong Kong, and such a house will be very valuable in the future." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
"Really? I don't know how many people in this neighborhood want to sell their houses and go to the United States. Chen Tianshou said casually.
