Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 218 Township Entrepreneur Association

In the next few days, Li Lei basically did not attend any meetings, and spent all his time dealing with these slow-release fertilizer companies. Baker has expressed strong interest in cooperation.

Compo Horticulture in Germany first came into contact with it, but the conditions they can accept are far inferior to those of the other three companies. This is also understandable. After all, they are under the control of BASF. A little leak in the seam is enough for Compo Gardening, so the desire for foreign capital is not as strong as Yicom's.

Li Lei doesn't mind either. Although the research and development strength of companies such as Yikangmu, Navasa, and Eisenbeck is not as good as Compo Gardening, as long as they have enough funds, I believe they will catch up soon.

Moreover, there is no behemoth like BASF behind these companies, and the cost of acquiring shares or even controlling shares is much lower than the acquisition of Compo Horticulture; comprehensively, it is much more cost-effective to choose one of these companies for cooperation than to find Compo Horticulture .

The time for the end of the Davos meeting has arrived, and the participants have left Davos one after another. Li Lei and Lao Mouzi should also go. Lao Mouzi goes out every day during this time to fight among the crowds, but unfortunately there is nothing to gain, and he does not give out real money Silver is not easy to fool these guys.

But he didn't come in vain. Among other things, the photos that Li Lei took for him were enough to scare many people. With Lao Mouzi's bragging ability, he might be able to make some business with these photos.

"Mr. Li, the communication these few days has been very pleasant. We will start preparations when we go back. You or other representatives of your company are welcome to visit at any time and then formally cooperate!" Representatives of the company and Israel Eisenbeck Company came to see them off one after another.

"Okay, I'm mainly in charge of technical evaluation. You guys have their own strengths in technology, and they can all meet the basic requirements of our New Century Investment Company. Next, we will arrange other candidates to go for inspection. If other aspects If there are no problems, we will reach a cooperation agreement soon!" Li Lei shook hands with them one by one and said goodbye, and the rest was naturally Ma Tianyou's responsibility.

It just so happens that after these companies go back, they can also learn about the strength of New Century Company through their own channels, so that the cooperation can be smoother.

Why not engage in research and development of slow-release fertilizers in China?There are still the same old reasons. First of all, the domestic chemical fertilizer industry is not yet open to private companies. Even if you develop slow-release fertilizers, you will not be able to produce them. Second, domestic research capabilities in this area are indeed inferior to foreign companies. Everything has to be done from scratch, which is too troublesome; finally, even if the first two reasons are excluded, the high cost of slow-release fertilizers will become the biggest obstacle to domestic sales. Currently, only developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan are using them. Eligibility for slow-release fertilizers.

Of course Li Lei knows how to reduce the cost of slow-release fertilizers, but this is not something that can be achieved overnight. It must be done step by step. This year, it will be reduced by 20.00%, and next year it will be reduced by another [-]%. The price of fertilizer can be reduced to a level acceptable to staple food growers.

In recent years, the main market for slow-release fertilizers is still high-end horticulture and high-value-added crops such as flowers and high-end fruits. Only they can afford the cost.

"What did you say to these foreigners?" After saying goodbye to everyone and getting into the car, Lao Mouzi asked curiously, why did I not see them being so respectful to me after chatting with them for so long?
"I'm going to ask them to buy something. Can you be unhappy when you meet a buyer?" Li Lei is not lying. Isn't buying shares and companies also buying?
The reason why he didn’t tell the truth is that he didn’t want more people to know about it. Nowadays, many domestic companies have started overseas mergers and acquisitions, not to mention state-owned enterprises. What's more, for private enterprises, Lu Guanqiu has acquired an American universal joint manufacturer before, which can be regarded as the pioneer of overseas mergers and acquisitions by private enterprises.

However, the companies that Li Lei acquired are relatively sensitive. If this triggers a butterfly effect and changes the opening of the domestic fertilizer market, the gains will outweigh the losses, so let’s wait a few years before we talk about it.

Transferred from Paris again, and then arrived at Beijing Airport after a long flight. When they came out, there were already people waiting outside.

"Haha, Xiao Li, Lao Mou, the two of you can be regarded as a foreigner this time. When you talk about you two, the big guys are very envious now!" Lu Guanqiu shook hands enthusiastically when he saw the two of them. Greetings, Liu Yonghao and other acquaintances followed behind him.

"Hey, that's the same thing for foreigners' meetings. It's nothing more than better food, better housing, and bigger noses for people who talk." Old Mouzi began to brag to each other again.

"No matter how good the foreigner's meeting is, it is not as important as our own! Let's go, get in the car first, go back to have a meal and have a good rest, let's talk slowly tomorrow! Listen to your foreign experience first, and then talk about our own things!" Compared with the last time we met, Lu Guanqiu's complexion improved a lot, and his eyes were no longer disturbed, as if he didn't have to worry about Wanxiang's future.

The reason is that this meeting will be held soon. Prior to this, township entrepreneur associations have been established in many places across the country, but a national township entrepreneur association has not yet been established. Seeing that self-employed people have national organizations that can Relying on it, but not having one at home, the township entrepreneurs are in a hurry.

Fortunately, they finally received good news not long ago. The Ministry of Agriculture notified some influential township entrepreneurs to come to the capital for a meeting to discuss the establishment of the National Association of Township Entrepreneurs!

When Lu Guanqiu heard the news, he was immediately overjoyed. Does this mean that the country's determination to continue reform has not changed, and township enterprises can still continue to develop.

The same is true for Liu Yonghao. After getting in the car, he said to Li Lei, "As soon as I put down the phone, I told my brothers, and then we went home together and told my mother the good news. My mother finally didn't have to worry about it, let alone remind me Then we give hope to the country!"

The reason why he thinks this way is very simple. He hopes that it will be an out-and-out private enterprise. Since he, the boss of a private enterprise, can be invited, why worry?If the country has any plans, he will definitely not receive this call, so from now on, he can put his heart in his stomach.

"Who are the people who came to the meeting this time?" Li Lei asked.

"A lot of people came to donate money for the Asian Games last time. Of course, there were also those who didn't come last time. But it was Director Lu and Zhuang Yu who took the lead. It is estimated that when the association is formally established, they must be the vice presidents! You have to Give me a director, this is because you are too young, if you are a little older, the vice president is not impossible!" Liu Yonghao said in a low voice.

As for the chairman, it is definitely not their turn. The establishment of the Township Entrepreneurs Association is the opinion of the Ministry of Agriculture. According to the usual practice, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture will also serve as the chairman.

"Whether there is a Township Entrepreneurs Association is very important. It doesn't matter whether I am a director or not!" Li Lei didn't care about this false name, and he cared more about the establishment of a Township Entrepreneurs Association. Besides, compared with Lu Guanqiu and Yu Zhuangzhu Looking at it, his qualifications are indeed a bit shallow, so it's better not to be in the limelight.

When I came to the hotel where the meeting was held, this hotel was much worse than the Shiberger Hotel, but Lao Mouzi didn't mind, and got into the crowd after getting off the car to brag about his experience in Davos. In his mouth, he In Davos, there was a lively conversation with German ministers, Italian congressmen, and American tycoons, and everyone was taken aback for a while.

"Is it so powerful!" Liu Yonghao was also a little shocked by him, he couldn't believe it, he was holding a photo in his hand.

"For this, I have to admire Lao Mou. He dares to go abroad with just a few words, and strikes up conversations with foreigners when he goes out. German ministers, Italian congressmen, and American tycoons have spoken, but they just greet each other casually, and they leave after shaking hands!" Li Lei said in a low voice, unloading old Mouzi.

"I just said, I've been eating blowing shells for a long time!" Liu Yong was amused, blowing shells means bragging in Chengdu dialect, "But it has nothing to do with us, go, find a clean place and tell us that you are abroad. What new things have you seen? I also want to go out to increase my knowledge, but I don’t know where to go!”

"This year is just right for you to go out. There are not many things in the company, so you can spare time. After two years, the situation will improve, and you will be busy again! If you want to go out, I will contact you. If you want to visit Just tell them what you want, and they will make arrangements for you!" Li Lei also hopes that domestic businessmen can broaden their horizons.

"You can go to big cities like New York and Los Angeles to take a look first, and then go to the agriculturally developed states in the Midwest! If I have enough time, it is best to travel by car, find a car and drive along the main road, and take the U.S. Take a good look at all the big agricultural states! What California, Florida, Tennessee, Montana, take a good look!" Li Lei helped him make the plan.

"Go and see American farms, orchards, and agricultural companies. Especially their feed mills. Since we want to do this industry, we must learn from the Americans! After all, their level is the best in the world! This level is not only Reflected in technology, management, service, layout, etc., all have something to learn from!"

"I'll think about it when I go back, and then ask me if I can go with them! If I have time, two of them will stay at home and watch the house, and two of them will go out to meet the world, and we will change shifts when we come back!" Liu Yonghao was fascinated by what he said.

In fact, even without Li Lei’s advice, the brothers Liu Yonghao and Liu Yongxing would embark on a journey to the United States in more than a year. They met agricultural giants such as Cargill, ADM, and Purina in a bookstore in Chinatown, and learned about the industry. What are the top companies in the world like.

Then he spent three months driving around the United States by himself. During the self-driving tour, he would search for information in the university library to learn business management, capital operation and other related knowledge. It was this trip to the United States that opened his mind. It is hoped that he has a clear blueprint for the future shape and development direction in his mind.

Nowadays, after seeing the advancement and development of the United States, many people begin to despair, thinking that it is impossible for China to catch up with the United States; but Liu Yonghao thinks that China has sufficient hardware conditions and ample talent pool, so it is entirely possible Several world-renowned feed companies were born.

Shortly after returning from the United States, it coincided with the upsurge of the 92 Southern Tour. Hope took this opportunity and began to make great strides forward, and finally ranked among the top ten global feed companies, fulfilling his original dream.

"It's better to bring my sister-in-law with me, let's go for a walk together!" Li Lei patted his shoulder and said, Liu Yonghao is very good to his wife, Shi Yuzhu is no match.

"Do you want it! I will contact you after we have discussed it, and you can arrange it for us!" Liu Yonghao agreed without hesitation. He felt that he owed his wife a lot these years, and he just took this opportunity to make up for it.

Liu Yonghao dragged him to his room, wanting to hear what big scenes Li Lei had seen in Davos. Lu Guanqiu actually wanted to hear it too, but he was not as free as Liu Yonghao.

He is one of the default candidates for the vice-chairman, and the higher-ups have high hopes for him and Master Yu, so the burden on him is very heavy. He has to communicate with and understand their ideas with township entrepreneurs from all over the country, so that he can better Organize the association, then have time to listen to Li Lei talk about this!So he could only give up with regret, and planned to wait for a while to have a good chat with Li Lei.

In the evening, everyone went to the restaurant of the hotel to have dinner together. At this time, the leaders of the ministry also came. The leaders had just finished their day's work and planned to use this time to meet with everyone and listen to everyone's opinions and suggestions on the Township Entrepreneurs Association. .

"Old Lu, I heard that you have sold your products to the United States and even bought a factory in the United States! Isn't that amazing!" Minister He shook hands with everyone in turn and talked.

"Old Yu, your Daqiu Village is now said to be the number one village in the world! I hope you will continue to work hard and lead Daqiu Village to greater success!"

After shaking hands with Lu Guanqiu and Master Yu, it was soon Li Lei's turn. Seeing Li Lei's young appearance, Minister He was a little surprised. Those who shake hands are all unusual tasks. This person is not yet 30 years old, right?Become a well-known entrepreneur in the country?

The secretary whispered a few words in his ear, and Minister He suddenly realized, "Oh, you are Li Lei. I have heard Tong Lao and Du Lao praise you for doing a good job in Heyang more than once!"

"It's just an insignificant achievement, thanks to the support of the government and leaders." Li Lei responded reservedly.
