Chapter 1296 [Appearing in Northeast China]

After a while, Fang Hong glanced at Tian Jiayi and continued to make arrangements: "Tell the traders and market makers below to accelerate the long market for the Xinzheng 50 Index in the early spring of next year, and push the index above 3600 points. The market needs to be a bit wilder."

This move is to pave the way for the Singapore Exchange to open a northbound channel for foreign capital in the future, and is also to cope with the changes in 2018. By then, the main boards of the two neighboring cities will surely be filled with bearish sentiment for a whole year, and the Shanghai Composite Index will definitely be driven below 2500 points.

It is against this backdrop that Fang Hong plans to keep the SGX market on the rise in 2018. Not only will the SGX 50 Index not fall, it will not even fluctuate sideways for a year. Instead, it will continue to rise within a wide range of fluctuations, entering an upward relay market.

Even if it means spending a huge amount of money, we must ensure that the SGX market continues to maintain its bull market momentum next year.

It doesn’t matter if the Xinzheng 50 Index fluctuates more frequently and ups and downs in 2018, but it must set a new historical high after each fluctuation.

By then, after the market performance in 2018, the mainland stock market will surely usher in an important watershed turning point. The SGX market will become the absolute face of the A-share market and the face of the stock market of the Eastern superpower.

Whether it is market turnover, trading activity or total market capitalization, it will become the number one in A-shares.

The gradual marginalization of the two neighboring cities has become an irreversible trend, and their weight in the capital market will further decline significantly, while the weight of the SGX market will rise sharply.

A few years later, the SGX market had in fact replaced the two neighboring markets, and it became an established fact.

As for the two cities next door, just leave them alone from now on. They will eventually disappear as time goes by, which is almost the same as keeping their death a secret.

……

Fang Hong arranged many matters properly. After many strategic plans were decided, his subordinates began to implement them. He also took his private plane to leave Xincheng and fly to the northeast in the name of tourism, to do an in-depth field investigation and research there.

October is the time for a short holiday lasting about a week. The A-share market is also closed during the holiday. People go out to travel during the holiday, and major tourist attractions also see a surge in tourist traffic during the holiday.

On October 10, some tourists who came to Changbai Mountain for sightseeing met Fang Hong there. Many tourists recognized him. There are not many people who don’t know Fang Hong these days.

Many tourists were sure that it was Fang Hong they met, so they immediately took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures and posting them online. Fang Hong's accompanying plainclothes security personnel tried to stop the tourists from taking pictures, but were stopped by him. This kind of thing can easily be used by others to create negative public opinion, saying that you are unfriendly, pretentious, etc., and it is easy to backfire if not handled properly.

Some brave tourists even asked to take a photo with the big guy, and Fang Hong readily agreed. This made the tourists who happened to meet him very excited, as they could take a photo with this big guy and brag about it for the rest of their lives.

The news of Fang Hong's travel in Changbai Mountain quickly spread on the Internet, attracting a lot of attention and discussion from netizens. As the founder of Qunxing, Fang Hong can now be said to be a walking news, and he himself is a top-tier super star with his own traffic.

As the news spread online, it soon alarmed the local scenic spot managers. After confirming that it was true, they rushed to find the boss as soon as possible, for fear of neglecting him. If it hadn't been for the fermentation on the Internet, no one would have known that Fang Hong came here to travel. This also shows that the confidentiality of this trip was quite in place.

At the same time, the scenic spot staff also reported the matter to their superiors. After all, they didn't know whether a big shot of this level came here simply for a trip or for other matters.

However, when the local scenic area management staff learned of the arrival of the big man and sent people to entertain him, they searched the entire scenic area but could not find the real owner, because Fang Hong left the scenic area after taking photos with several tourists they met by chance.

After the news of his appearance in the Northeast spread, it also attracted the attention of people from all walks of life, especially the local leaders there. Some places that urgently need to attract investment were even more concerned. They all tried to find out Fang Hong's itinerary and where he was.

It would definitely be a great thing if I could meet Fang Hong and encourage many celebrities to invest locally.

After the news spread, Fang Hong did not play hide-and-seek and no longer tried to conceal his itinerary. As a result, he received high-level hospitality wherever he went.

Although Fang Hong seldom appears in public, he is still adept at dealing with local people.

As time went by, Fang Hong appeared in various places in the three provinces, and the duration of this trip exceeded the expectations of the outside world. He was still there after four or five days. This caused speculation from the outside world, including some people in the investment circle. Everyone felt that Fang Hong’s trip was definitely not as simple as traveling. Judging from the itinerary, it would be more accurate to say that he was going there for inspection and research rather than traveling.

On October 10th, the short holiday was over, but Fang Hong was still in the Northeast, and appeared in the Xiaoxinganling area, where he came to visit the country's large agricultural reclamation base.

……

Around 16: p.m. local time.

At this moment, Fang Hong was strolling in a huge farmland of tens of thousands of acres. The general manager of this large farmland invited him to visit.

The head of the large agricultural reclamation base who accompanied Fang Hong on the tour introduced as they walked: "The large agricultural reclamation base is not only about agriculture, but also produces a lot of non-staple food. There are more than 80 pigs and 3.6 beef cattle. The total annual meat output is 22.9 tons, poultry eggs are 3.4 tons, and milk is 37.5 tons."

"Since 2013, with the support of Zhengce, the reclamation area has built 23 units of modern demonstration dairy farms in 53 farms and pastures, with each unit holding 1200 cows. A total of 2.7 high-quality dairy cows were imported, with a total investment of about 20 billion yuan. By the end of 2015, the reclamation area had 15.6 dairy cows."

"Moreover, the reclamation area has strong large-scale processing capabilities, and the subsequent processing capabilities and large-scale production have reached the level of scale. These non-staple foods also play a vital role at the critical moment when the country is controlling inflation."

Fang Hong nodded from time to time while listening, and looking at the vast expanse of fertile farmland in the distance, he couldn't help but say: "The importance of large-scale agricultural reclamation to the country's strategic food security is self-evident. My view is that large-scale agricultural reclamation must be carried forward and firmly controlled by the state, and cannot be commercialized."

The head of the agricultural reclamation department was surprised and shocked when he heard this. He did not expect Fang Hong to say this. When he received Fang Hong for the visit, he was still wondering whether Qunxing had set his eyes on the agricultural reclamation pie.

This person in charge is well aware that the capital has been eyeing this piece of meat for a long time. It is precisely because of this that the public opinion has been smearing agricultural reclamation for a long time. In his eyes, Fang Hong's identity is a super capital.

Fang Hong's words made him a little confused. It turned out that you didn't come here to eye this piece of meat. Instead, you supported the state to keep the control in its hands and not to marketize it. His favorability towards Fang Hong suddenly rose silently in his heart. Qunxing really needs to be viewed differently from other capitals.

If he had been treating Fang Hong in a perfunctory manner before, his attitude began to change to one of sincerity and honesty. He introduced Fang Hong as if he knew all his treasures:

"...Mr. Fang, you are right. The large agricultural reclamation in Northeast China is an important food supply guarantee base in my country. Most of the food produced in other parts of the country is consumed by themselves, while the commercialization of large agricultural reclamation in Northeast China has reached 95%. In other words, we only consume about 5% of the food we grow, and the remaining 95% is supplied to the whole country to ensure national food security."

Fang Hong nodded and smiled and said, "Safety itself is also a kind of benefit. Otherwise, why would people be willing to spend money to buy insurance? The principle is the same, so the benefit of safety should also be taken into account."

The chief agricultural reclamation official who accompanied Fang Hong on the visit no longer had any grudges against Fang Hong, confirming that his visit was not for the purpose of targeting the grain or agricultural reclamation pie, and that others had clearly stated that large-scale agricultural reclamation must be controlled by the state.

After a while, the person in charge said: "Historically, our large agricultural reclamation system has also made significant contributions to national food security. Whenever the country is short of food, food is transported from the Northeast."

"If agricultural reclamation is market-oriented, according to market rules, the more scarce the food, the higher the price. The higher the price, the more reluctant people will be to sell. If the food shortage and price increase further, our grain companies will be able to make huge profits. But what kind of huge impact will the skyrocketing food prices have on the country and society?"
