The Fairy Farm project is not the best investment for Xiao Qi, but it is the most worthwhile investment.
After all, monetary benefits are meaningless after reaching a certain level, but food can continue every day of human existence.
In the past, when the country introduced itself, it said, "Our country is a country with a vast territory and abundant resources"... This is actually not very correct.
If it was before liberation, when the population was about 400 million, this statement would still be reliable.
But now, China, which has a population of 1.5 billion, is no longer suitable for such a brief introduction.
On average for every Chinese person, we have a very small land area and very poor product resources.
Not to mention the current population of 1.5 billion, even a thousand years ago, when China only had 40 to 50 million people, when it encountered natural disasters for several consecutive years, it was basically a period of turmoil.
Although the grain output in that era was very low, it also illustrates an important issue, that is, food is the first priority for the people.
As long as the people can't afford to eat, they won't care about anything.
As long as there is some way, they will not go to extremes.
In modern society, food crisis has actually always existed, but it usually only occurs in poor and war-torn countries. Although China's food already needs to be imported, because the country handles it properly, people's daily diet does not
What impact has been received?
However, as China's food gap becomes larger and larger, it is very necessary to prepare in advance.
Of course, Xiao Qi didn't mean to worry about the country. On the one hand, he did it for the betterment of China, and on the other hand, it was also for commercial purposes.
Although the grain industry does not make a lot of money, it is a very important link. Once this link is completed, the Xiao family's status in China cannot be shaken due to stable demand.
The Xiao family will not be short of money in the future, but their social status needs to be continuously maintained, otherwise just having money will not be useful in any country.
The first thing Xiao Qi could think of was to do a lot of charity. The second was to strengthen investment in foreign countries. The third was to help the country solve the food security problem.
Help in this area is not as jealous as energy and minerals, and it is not easy to be suspected, so this is also the most appropriate approach.
To this end, Xiao Qi has never hesitated even though he has invested more than 500 billion and will increase the amount by at least two or three times in the future.
As long as the family's status is stabilized, with Fairy Company's industrial chain layout, the Xiao family will definitely be able to maintain prosperity and wealth in the future. The investment of this money is equivalent to buying an insurance for the future, and it is also beneficial to oneself.
The industrial chain is also beneficial, so why not?
Therefore, just to show that experts like Krarov would be hired with huge sums of money, Xiao Qi would recruit students from agricultural colleges across the country, give them generous salaries and bright prospects, and let them invest in the Fairy Farm project.
Xiao Qi also sent one of his most capable assistants, Wen Lu, to take charge of the entire Fairy Farm. The reason was that Wen Lu was steady yet shrewd. His character was definitely not impetuous, and he could just keep working in this position.
Wen Lu was originally the supervisor of the Xiaoyao Department. Although he now works at the Fairy Farm, his salary has not declined, but has increased a lot.
Zhou Bo even mentioned to Wen Lu some time ago that Xiao Qi plans to promote him to the vice president of Fairy Company starting next year and enjoy the same treatment as Sun Manxue.
This is a big promotion.
There are currently only seven vice presidents in Fairy Company. Compared to Fairy Company's more than 500,000 employees, they are absolutely rare.
Wen Luneng was promoted to the vice president of the company. Not only did his salary increase, his status was also recognized, and he truly became one of the top executives of Fairy Company.
From this, Wen Lu also understood what Xiao Qi meant, and he felt more at ease working in the Fairy Farm. He was prepared to work at this position for at least twenty years to make the Fairy Farm a good one.
He expected it well, Xiao Qi really valued his honesty.
Wen Lu may not have outstanding advantages, but he can complete the tasks assigned to him by Xiao Qi conscientiously. He is a very good subordinate.
In fact, this is also the case. After Xiao Qi handed over the Fairy Farm to Wen Lu, everything included contacts with Caiyun Province, various project preparations, discussions with agricultural experts, including going to Europe and Japan to recruit people, etc.
Wen Lu did it alone.
Even many times, he did not ask Xiao Qi to come forward to contact him, but contacted him himself under the banner of Xiao Qi, which also achieved good results.
Also because of Wen Lu's reliability, Xiao Qi gradually no longer cares about the affairs here. At most, Zhou Bo and Zhang Gu will come to supervise and inspect the whole situation, and leave the rest to Wen Lu to take care of.
Speaking of Mr. Zhang Gu, although he has basically retreated to the second line, he is still retiring. He also likes agriculture, so Xiao Qi gave him the power to review on an ad hoc basis, as long as he is in the logistics department, agricultural production-related
Yes, Zhang Gudu can supervise and manage. Once an error is discovered, he can immediately issue a penalty decision. His authority is sometimes even greater than that of Wen Lu.
Zhang Gu is not Xiao Qi's confidant, but the old man's moral character and ethics are definitely top-notch. Xiao Qi will definitely rest assured that such an important task is entrusted to him.
What's more, this responsibility does not require running around all day long. Zhang Gu can rest at home for a while, then go out for inspections, and then rest for a while before going out for inspections.
Zhang Gu is also very satisfied with this. After all, he is over sixty years old. He still has to take care of his family and his body must gradually start to take care of himself. If he is as busy as before, his wife will definitely have troubles.
Earth-shaking.
In addition to the most important part at home, the part abroad is also very important.
Wu Xiaowen, who is in charge of the Fairy Farm in Indochina, is more aggressive than Wen Lulai. Although he is already in his forties, his pioneering spirit is definitely stronger than that of Wen Lulai.
Moreover, Wu Xiaowen came from a rough background and was definitely a first-rate expert in social interactions.
In just a few months since he went out, Wu Xiaowen has already had close contacts with heads of state and powerful people in several countries. They are like good friends who drink wine and eat meat together. Although they don't speak the same language very well and speak average English,
After eating, drinking and having fun, your friendship will naturally improve.
Although this is due to Fairy Company spending a lot of money, Wu Xiaowen's conduct can make these other efforts more effective, allowing Fairy Farm to enter these countries more quickly and develop steadily.
For example, in Vietnam, it is somewhat similar to China in the 1980s. Opportunities are everywhere, and there are second-generation people everywhere looking for ways to make a fortune.
Wu Xiaowen was very familiar with this matter, and he had no taboos at all about doing it abroad. After reporting it to Xiao Qi, he started to operate it. A piece of fertile land that had never been discussed before was now
After spending 2 million US dollars in public relations fees, it was won in one go. Therefore, the overall layout of Fairy Farm in Vietnam is integrated, which is of great significance.
Xiao Qi is not opposed to this kind of public relations. He doesn't have a good impression of the Vietnamese anyway. As long as the matter can be discussed, it will be fine.
It doesn’t matter that Vietnam may settle its accounts in the future. China will not tolerate them. Xiao Qi also has a strong influence in the world. It is expected that they would not dare to be so presumptuous. Think about Li Chaoren’s Oriental Plaza project in the capital.
Well, with Tongtian’s background, when it came to McDonald’s in Wangfujing, there was no way around it. We had to pay a lot more to complete the migration.
Even if the Fairy Company is not backed by the United States, it is more than enough to be used in Vietnam. Now Vietnam is also developing. If you think about it, you would not dare to do such a shameless thing, at least it cannot be done so absolutely.
Laos and Myanmar are worse than Vietnam. As long as you are willing to pay them, they will sell anything.
Since they are China's neighbors, China can teach them how to behave at any time. Wu Xiaowen is even more powerful in these two countries. After a series of processes such as land acquisition, development, employment, planting, etc., compared to Caiyun,
All development must be smooth and smooth.
That is to say, it is a little more complicated in Thailand. Thailand's rice supplies the needs of many countries. For example, Japan, South Korea and Singapore all have their own spheres of influence in Thailand.
Fairy Company entered Thailand very late, but fortunately Thailand has enough arable land. Now Wu Xiaowen has acquired hundreds of thousands of acres more land on the basis of the previous one.
However, Thailand's arable land is top-notch, and the first batch of rice is expected to be shipped back to China for sale by December this year at the latest, two months faster than Myanmar.
By next year, rice production in all lands will be on track and it will be able to continuously supply China.
Slightly slower is the breeding of livestock, such as beef, which takes two or three years to slowly form a sustainable supply chain.
Pork is a little faster, but it can't be supplied immediately. It has to go through a series of processes.
The breeding of livestock is not the focus of foreign agriculture. Only the production of rice is the key. It depends on how much you need. There is absolutely nothing that cannot be digested.
Even if we take a step back and say that people can't eat anymore, isn't there still brewing and other aspects that require a lot of grain?
Most of today's wines are blended wines. In the past, grain wines were rare, and only some small places could brew their own.
When it comes to doing business, food is the real business that can last forever. Even if Xiaoyao Mall goes bankrupt one day, the food growing business will not be finished.
Therefore, Xiao Qicai believes that the Fairy Farm project is the most worthwhile investment! (To be continued.)
