Chapter 1197: Beard and eyebrows
Therefore, in his opinion, Committee Member Zhao’s concerns were actually completely unnecessary.
"Messenger Zhao, when I first decided to invest in agriculture, I was working hard to build a full agricultural industrial chain, so I plan to focus on this next."
Member Zhao said without comment: "Compared with northern Jiangsu and Huang Triangle, the natural conditions in the northern and southern borders of Humeng are even worse. While building Humeng, we must also pay attention to the protection of the ecological environment; on the one hand, the northern and southern borders are severely salinized, while on the other hand, the water shortage is severe, and the soil improvement is very difficult. These three places have no output without three or five years."
After a pause, he continued: "As for the industrial chain you mentioned, I am not doing research on this aspect, and I can't say a word or two. However, I have a problem in my heart for a long time and have been wanting to find an opportunity to ask you in person."
Fu Song quickly said, "Committee Zhao, you said!"
"In the past decade, the distribution of land and household contracting have led to the initial socialized production scale and the agricultural economy in the process of mechanization, and has returned to small production with heavier accumulation and manual labor. I can't say whether this is a progress or a regression, but since this is already the case, we can only face the reality..."
Member Zhao stopped after only half of his words, his tone was filled with helplessness.
Obviously, he also realized that it was a bit inappropriate to say such things in his capacity. If it spreads out, the impact would be too great. He asked instead: "I heard from Baoguo that you are acquiring Qianjin Agricultural Machinery Factory in East Germany?"
Fu Song nodded and said, "The negotiations started at the beginning of the year. After more than half a year of negotiations, the main reason was that the price had not been negotiated. The West German trusteeship bureau opened its mouth and wanted to continue to let them go, but I made some money abroad not long ago. Once I finished it, I could make another profit when the money was gone, but I couldn't make it back even if I wanted to. Forget it, I'll have a good deal of peace of mind."
Member Zhao sighed: "You are stupider than those smart people, but you are wise and stupid, and you are clever. Smart people are bad because of your intelligence. A stupid person is good. You are stupid. This is why I am willing to help you."
Fu Song laughed silently: "Committee Zhao, you are so embarrassed that I am praised."
Member Zhao laughed: "Call you call me stupid, why are you praising you? Some people say you are careless and say that you have so much money to do, and you have to contract a penny of saline-alkali land. It's not thankful for your hard work. In the end, the land is not yours, so why bother?"
"They are right." Fu Song smiled self-deprecatingly, "Sometimes I wonder if my head is squeezed by the door, why did I think of doing agriculture?"
Member Zhao said: "The Qianjin Factory in East Germany is good. It was the boss of agricultural machinery in the socialist camp back then. I didn't expect that it would be sold out in just how long. You bought Qianjin Factory to build an industrial chain, right?"
Fu Song said: "There are considerations in this regard. In addition, considering that the domestic lack of large-scale automated agricultural machinery and equipment manufacturing capabilities, Qianjin Factory cannot keep up with the large agricultural machinery enterprises in developed Western countries to a degree of advanced level, but at least it is advanced than the domestic ones. Moreover, I am very confident in the domestic large agricultural machinery market. If I move Qianjin Factory back one day earlier, I will be able to seize the initiative one day earlier."
Member Zhao shook his head and said, "You may be too optimistic. In fact, since the reform and opening up, the output of large and medium-sized tractors have been declining year by year. The profit of large and medium-sized tractors with a size of more than 14.7 kilowatts has decreased from 120,000 units in 1979 to 100,000 units in 1980, and to less than 40,000 units in 1987.
However, the production of small tractors is growing vigorously, from 320,000 units in 1979 to 1.1 million units in 1987. The specific data may not be accurate, but it will not be much different."
Fu Song smiled and said: "This can better show that the large agricultural machinery market has greater potential in the future. Of course, the market for large agricultural machinery cannot be a small peasant economy, but an agricultural enterprise as large as Vision Group."
Member Zhao said in surprise: "Do you think more and more such companies will appear in the future?"
Fu Song nodded and said, "This is inevitable. Member Zhao, the current gatt Uruguay round negotiations have brought textiles and agricultural products into the track of liberalization for the first time. Therefore, if one day our country successfully enters the country, domestic agriculture will inevitably be greatly impacted by the large international capital.
As you said just now, the small peasant economy is dominant in our domestic agriculture, and the small peasant economy has no competitiveness. The only reason is to maintain social stability.
In the future, if our agriculture wants to become bigger and stronger, it will not rely on a scattered small peasant economy, but large enterprises like Vision Group. Only agricultural enterprises like Vision Group will have the power to fight against the international agricultural trust!”
Member Zhao frowned and said, "In May this year, I read many newspapers that our country is expected to restore its status as a party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in March next year, so all walks of life have formulated response strategies, and our agricultural outlets are no exception. In the past, I always thought that entering the customs was too slow, but now I think it is too fast and there is too little time left for agricultural response!"
Fu Song sneered: "Entering next year? Those people are too optimistic. Whether our country is a market economy is not the final word of ours, but the final word of the United States."
Member Zhao nodded and said, "It is best not to enter the customs next year, but no matter when you enter the customs, you must prepare various plans to deal with the impact in advance. It is related to national food security and cannot be careless at all."
Fu Song said: "Commissioner Zhao, if you want to do research in this area, just give me instructions if you need anything."
Member Zhao smiled and said, "I won't be polite to you. Alas, it's easy to get out of the way at the age of age. Before we divided the land and households, we implemented an agricultural cooperation business model in China. In fact, this model is now available abroad, including agricultural cooperatives in the United States, agricultural associations in Japan, and agricultural joint-stock cooperatives in the Netherlands. You just said that Vision Group wants to build the entire agricultural industry chain, so you won't be able to catch all your beards and eyebrows, right?"
Fu Song seemed to understand what Member Zhao meant, but he still asked tentatively: "What do you mean?"
Member Zhao waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm just a little confused. Can Vision Group do everything by itself?
Fu Song carefully said: "Commissioner Zhao, I have actually considered this issue, and some people suggested that I strengthen cooperation with farmers."
"Oh?" Commissioner Zhao said curiously, "Who is it?"
Fu Song said: "Secretary Chen Kang of Humeng, at that time, asked me if I could adopt the poverty alleviation model of leading enterprises and farmers, but I refused it."
Member Zhao was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "This model is beneficial to enterprises and farmers, why don't you?"
Fu Song said helplessly: "I don't know that under this model, Vision Group can save a lot of money and farmers can get benefits, but the problem is that the risks are difficult to control. Member Zhao, no matter how many agricultural products are transferred, they will eventually be served on the table and eaten into people's stomachs. They may not be delicious, but they must not be unsafe.
