Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 428 Insurance Company Preparations
In fact, there are more than that. The strength of Huinong Animal Feed Laboratory is also among the best in the country. It also has the qualifications to compete for the National Key Laboratory, as well as the sea rice laboratory cooperated by Huinong and Chen Risheng, the soybean breeding research institute headed by Lin Weimin, and Shi Feng. Huinong's agricultural machinery research and development center and many other institutions also have such strength. In addition, Huinong's research on pesticides, vaccines, and cold chains is currently in the stage of accumulation. It can also meet the standards of the National Key Laboratory.

It's just that due to the current policy issues, the state key laboratories have not yet been released to enterprises. Even if they are released in a few years, the first batch will definitely give priority to research institutions under state-owned enterprises, and there will not be many places left for private enterprises. , so this time Li Lei only took out these three research institutions with absolute advantages in the same field in China. Even so, the probability of all being approved is not high. As for the others, we can only wait until later.

But it doesn't matter, even if only one family is selected for the first time, as long as there is a successful start, it will be much easier to get in later than it is now; this is the same as the development of Huinong from the 80s to the present. When it is opened, it will definitely open wider and wider, and it will not be so easy to close it.

Academician Xu is very happy today. He is very willing to see more domestic enterprises invest in scientific research. Scientific research cannot only rely on the country. From the experience of foreign countries, the power of enterprises is equally important. Look at Bell Labs of AT&T , Boeing's Phantom Factory, GlaxoSmithKline's innovation laboratory!How many scientific research miracles have been created by the laboratories of these multinational giants!How lucky it is for the development of China's science and technology if there are several such enterprise research institutions in China!
Due to his special status, Academician Xu has also met many rich and wealthy people over the years, but these people are often more addicted to traditional ways of making a fortune, such as speculation and relationships, and they are often willing to invest heavily in this area. Academician Xu also feels very sorry for this. Now that he meets an entrepreneur like Li Lei who is willing to spend a lot of money on research, he is also willing to help Li Lei, not for anything else, but to establish A typical example can be used to encourage other companies to develop in this direction.

"I'll take these materials back home and study them carefully, and then I'll ask the Ministry to conduct a thorough investigation of the three research institutions you mentioned. If they have indeed reached the leading domestic level as you said, then I can confidently conduct research on the three research institutions you mentioned. I won for you at the meeting!" Academician Xu stated his position in front of Li Lei.

"Then thank you very much! In fact, although the investment of domestic enterprises in research is still not comparable to that of large European and American companies, a group of enterprises that have performed well and achieved some results have emerged. Except for us In addition to Hui Nong, companies such as Haier, Huawei, and Hisense have also performed well in this regard!" Li Lei knew that he could not convince people by himself, so he recruited a few more capable helpers. The first batch of enterprises approved to establish state key laboratories are also in the leading position in the country in terms of technology. A few more examples will help Academician Xu convince others.

"Okay, I've remembered the companies you mentioned. If you want to investigate and find out when the time comes, bring them along!" Academician Xu readily accepted Li Lei's suggestion. He also needs to collect more companies for scientific research Prepare more powerful examples for your own ideas.

After meeting Academician Xu and submitting documents, Li Lei continued to entertain guests in the capital. This time, there were more people, including representatives from investment companies in major agricultural provinces such as HLJ, Jilin, and Central Plains, as well as Beidahuang Agricultural Reclamation Representatives of large state-owned agricultural enterprises such as the Group, Land Reclamation Corporation, and Aquatic Products United Corporation, as well as leaders of private agricultural enterprises such as Hope Group, Dongfang Group, and Wanxiang Sannong, gathered in the conference room of a five-star hotel. In order to discuss a problem, that is the preparation of the agricultural insurance company.

Looking at these people, Li Lei was quite relieved. This is much stronger than the list of shareholders of the Sunshine Agricultural Mutual Insurance Company established by the Great Northern Wilderness and the Anhua Agricultural Insurance Company led by Jilin Provincial Investment in the future. It has gathered so many powerful people Li Lei, Li Lei felt that the hope of the insurance company being approved and established was a little higher.

"Let me first report the situation to everyone. Thanks to everyone's help, the higher authorities are paying more and more attention to our insurance company!" Li Lei said, this unestablished insurance company has already gathered The tripartite forces of large agricultural state-owned enterprises, local investment companies, and private enterprises all have their own channels to go to Tianting. If several parties work together, even if they want to ignore it.

"Mr. Du called me a few days ago and said that the higher-ups might ask me to give a report recently, telling us about the preparations we have made for this insurance company and what is the significance of establishing such a company. You can Brainstorm and see how we can answer this test well, and let the leader give us a passing score, so that the company will have a higher chance of being approved!" Li Lei looked at everyone.

"Let me start by throwing bricks to attract jade!" A representative of a provincial investment company said, "Didn't Chairman Li go to Shanghai to participate in the Fortune Forum some time ago? Although I am not qualified to go, I have been paying attention to this grand event. When looking for information, I found an interesting company, the US National Farm Insurance Company ranked 450th in the world's top 44 with an operating income of nearly [-] billion U.S. dollars, which is amazing!"

“This company has a very wide range of businesses, one of which is insurance for American farms. They can provide a wide range of insurance, including weather insurance, income insurance, multi-disaster insurance, planting insurance, breeding insurance, etc. The type of insurance basically covers most of the risks that may occur in the process of agricultural operations. With these guarantees, American agricultural practitioners can safely and boldly carry out production! If our domestic agriculture wants to develop, we have to learn from the United States in this regard experience!"

His words caused everyone to nod their heads. Reform is to feel for the stones, no, it is to cross the river by feeling for Ying Jiang. Since this model has achieved good results in Ying Jiang, then we should use it directly!Use this reason to persuade the leaders, and they will definitely accept it.

"How much damage did last year's floods cause? Especially those affected farmers, if they bought insurance before, could they reduce their losses? The insurance company can help them resume production, and the country can save a lot of expenses! "Some people thought of the flood last year, which is also a good reason.

This flood left a deep impression on people. Until now, many people are still summing up, trying to find various ways to avoid similar disasters. One way is to build dams on major rivers to adjust the water level. Converting farmland to forests in the upper reaches of the river to preserve water and soil is also an option, and building dams is also an option. In addition to these measures, some people also think of using financial means to reduce losses, such as insurance.

"If you have a lot of wealth, those with hair don't count. This saying has probably been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. This shows the risk of the breeding industry; but you can't do without farming. You can't starve to death if you only eat the staple food, but you have to eat well. Well, to eat healthy, there must be a sufficient supply of meat, eggs and milk, and to have meat, eggs and milk, you must engage in aquaculture! But if the risk of the aquaculture industry is not further reduced, I am afraid that there will not be so many people and enterprises. engage in breeding, so it is necessary and even more necessary to provide insurance supporting services for the breeding industry!" A representative of the Aquatic Products United Headquarters said from the perspective of a specific industry.

The previous aquatic industry was mainly fishing, but with the improvement of consumption level in recent years, the consumption of various aquatic products has also increased rapidly, and the fishing capacity has also increased accordingly. Relying solely on fishing can no longer meet the daily needs of ordinary people. Many sea areas that were originally rich in production have experienced a rapid decline in fish and shrimp production due to overfishing. The natural reproduction of various marine organisms can no longer keep up with the speed of human fishing. A situation where there is no fish to eat.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation from really happening, various measures must be taken, first of all, to restrict natural fishing in the offshore, to delineate fishing ban periods, to avoid fishing during the spawning season of fish and shrimp, and to maintain the natural reproduction of marine organisms; at the same time Expand the scope of fishing and build better fishing boats to carry out deep-sea fishing business.

Finally, we need to develop the aquaculture industry and use human intervention to increase the production of various seafood, but problems also arise. Aquaculture is also risky. Do you often run away without seeing the scallops in Zhangzi Island?Therefore, in order to prevent various risks, it is necessary to have insurance to cover the farmers and breeding enterprises. This is why the Aquatic Products Corporation is so keen on preparing agricultural insurance companies.

Of course, this is also because Li Lei, the former richest man in the country, took the lead. They all know that Li Lei has strong financial strength and certain social resources. Famous guy, then they probably won't talk to him.

The representatives present spoke one after another, expounding the significance of establishing an insurance company from different perspectives, and also talked about the help they can provide, such as funds, talents, business premises, etc., so many powerful companies come together to contribute, The framework of an insurance company can still be built.

After they finished speaking, Li Lei also added a little bit, "Everyone knows that our country is now negotiating its accession to the WTO. It has been 1986 years since we applied for it in 13. It can be said that our country has made great efforts to join the WTO." Considerable efforts, and this year, these efforts can finally see the dawn of success! In April, Mr. Zhu went to the United States and finally persuaded the United States to allow us to join the WTO; in May, we sacrificed three A reporter, the negotiation was once blocked, but now it has resumed. What does this show? It shows that China’s entry into the WTO is the general trend. Although there must be many difficulties and obstacles in the process, it will definitely succeed in the end! Accession to the WTO is definitely a good thing in the general direction, but There will be great challenges!"

"This is the case in the industrial field, and the same is true in the agricultural field! Everyone knows that there is still a big gap between our country and developed countries in Europe and America in terms of industry, but many people ignore that the gap in the agricultural field is also very large! This gap is both In terms of science and technology, there are also other aspects! If we don’t prepare in advance, after joining the WTO, a large number of cheaper agricultural products will flood into the country, and our agriculture will definitely face a huge impact. Our farmers, farmers, Agribusiness will be wiped out too!"

Li Lei's words are by no means alarmist. China has also made many concessions in order to join the WTO. The agricultural sector has been liberalized to a certain extent. These are the prices that must be paid, otherwise there is no way to successfully join the WTO!

In 2001, an agreement was signed to officially join the WTO. In 2003, the four major grain merchants jointly launched a soybean war, which beat the local soybeans to the ground. Foreign companies have also launched a rapid offensive, which also poses a huge threat to related domestic industries.

"Technically, we have to catch up, and other supporting work must be done well. For example, what we are discussing now is to provide better financial support for agriculture, reduce the risks of practitioners, and grow ourselves as soon as possible to meet the coming impact."

Soon after the meeting ended, Li Lei and other representatives went to report to the leaders. They made sufficient preparations and comprehensively explained to the leaders the necessity of establishing an agricultural insurance company and the various preparatory work they had done. The leaders heard Seriously, they are very interested in what Li Lei said about the impact that agriculture will face after joining the WTO.

Li Lei took the opportunity to talk about the cases of European and American countries using agricultural products to impact and control other countries, including how the United States used food to defeat the Soviet Union. The leaders present in this case knew very well that they absolutely did not want China to face the same problems in the future. same question.

In the end, the leader with the highest rank took the initiative to say, "Everyone is talking about joining the WTO, but most people only talk about the benefits after joining the WTO. Few people realize that joining the WTO will bring new problems. You can find out this in time. Wouldn't it be great if we could come up with a specific solution!"

"Agricultural insurance is indeed very important. We are more assured that you will lead the establishment of the first agricultural insurance company in China. In principle, we also support you in doing so! Oh, by the way, what do you want to call this company? Do you have a name?"

　Finally caught up, tomorrow's update will be sent in the afternoon
