I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Mr. Lin, do you know who is currently the biggest player in the rice, flour, grain and oil market? Wang Kuo asked.

Probably Hualiang? Lin Dong really didn't know much about it.

Wang Kuo shook his head and said, No, it's the yellow dragon fish that Hualiang once cooperated with. They occupy at least 30% of the market in Huaxia.

Of course I've heard of this. This is what I have at home. Although he doesn't cook, he has everything he should have.

Boss Lin, do you know about Huanglongyu's background? Wang Kuo asked again.

They must be very powerful. To be able to win 30% of the share in Huaxia, where people depend on food, and surpass their own son Hualiang, is absolutely strong.

Boss Lin felt his blood boil when he thought that Wang Kuo would choose this existence as his opponent.

The strength is indeed strong. Last year, the turnover of Yihe Group, which Huanglongyu belongs to, was 133.4 billion yuan, while our Moutai's revenue was 38.862 billion yuan. Wang Kuo was afraid that Lin Dong would not have an intuitive understanding of this, so he deliberately drew a reference things.

Of course, the net profit of grain and oil is far less than that of the wine industry.

But there is no doubt about the revenue of 133.4 billion yuan, and even a certain goose can barely match it.

I only know Huanglongyu, but I don't know what kind of Yihe Group it is. Lin Dong said.

They won't focus on promoting this, because the company that occupies 30 to 40% of our market share is not our Guo Jia's at all. Wang Kuo smiled.

Not only will it not emphasize the background of foreign capital, but it will even deliberately downplay it, so 80 to 90% of Chinese people will think that this is a Chinese brand, and they may even be proud of it.

No way, where is the company from? Lin Dong was surprised.

The one in Singapore loves Huaqiao. Wang Kuo stopped laughing, and instead brought a little sarcasm.

It's okay to love Huaqiao. Lin Dong was more tolerant.

After all, he, a fellow from the world of wizards, could have loved him plausibly, so why couldn't he.

Mr. Lin is young, so he may not know the confrontation between the world's four major grain merchants and us. The four major grain merchants refer to Migo ADM, Migo Bunge, Migo Cargill, and Migo Louis Dreyfus. According to the industry, They are the four major grain merchants, also known as ABCD, 70% of the world's grain transactions are in the hands of these four companies, and the annual transaction volume is about 300 billion U.S. dollars.

I heard it a little bit. Lin Dong said.

That happened in 2004. Lin Dong has never experienced it now, but his extensive reading has helped him accumulate relevant knowledge.

Soybeans are native to China, and the soybeans cultivated in various countries in the world are directly or indirectly spread from China.

Huaxia's soybean production was once more than the soybean production of other countries in the world combined.

In 2001, Huaxia opened its soybean market to the outside world, and foreign-funded enterprises continued to pour into the country, and multinational giants began to get involved in Huaxia's soybean industry.

In 2004, after being frantically suppressed by international investment funds, Huaxia's small and medium-sized soybean processing enterprises and local oil extraction enterprises were overwhelmed by the load, declared bankruptcy one after another, and were annexed by foreign capital at low prices.

After the soybean crisis this time, the four major multinational grain merchants successfully controlled 85% of the actual processing capacity of soybeans.

Foreign-funded oil extraction companies only purchase genetically modified soybeans and do not accept domestic soybeans. The purchase price is relatively high, forcing farmers to only grow genetically modified soybeans, and the seeds have to be imported from abroad.

The control of soybeans is the beginning of foreign capital's plot to China's grain market. After foreign capital succeeded in the field of soybean agriculture, they in turn began to manipulate the pricing power of edible oil.

What do you mean, this yellow dragon fish has a share of the four major grains? Lin Dong finally understood.

It's hard for Wang Kuo, in order to persuade him, so much trouble was spent.

However, it did convince him.

ADM, he holds an indirect shareholding, accounting for about 24.6% of the shares. Several other major grain merchants also have their own layout. At that time, the well-known small-package edible oil brands in China, including Huanglongyu and Luhua, all had foreign capital behind them. Even part of Hualiang’s oil and fat business has foreign shares. In fact, our food safety is completely in the hands of others.” Wang Kuo has experienced that period, and he is quite touched.

I really don't feel this. Lin Dong was quite confused.

He has always felt that we are a big grain-producing country with a vast land and rich resources, and we have come from the big pot economy. It is a matter of course that these things related to people's livelihood should be in our own hands, right?

That's because Mr. Lin, what you eat are all grains, oils, vegetables, and meat that are shipped directly. Wang Kuo almost couldn't hold back his sarcasm.

The canteen has a large budget every year, and has signed supply and demand agreements with many manor farms outside the city.

In other words, Mr. Lin is also a special group.

For special groups, why bother what you ordinary people eat.

Ahem~ Boss Lin didn't mind, and just asked, Then what do you want to do, Uncle Kuo, you should have a plan, right?

I have some ideas, but what to do, I still have to keep exploring in the process of doing it. Wang Kuo began to talk about his ideas.

Before there was no money, thinking was useless.

Now Boss Lin gave him 10 billion to subsidize.

So how to subsidize it?

Is it to reduce the price when you buy something directly, or to control the cost and quality so that ordinary people can afford more assured things?

It doesn't take those experts to popularize how harmless GMOs are.

Can we not eat?

There is no need for us to believe in 1:1:1.

We don't like it!

Wang Kuo's plan is to start from the source and support some farms to plant pollution-free crops. Even if the yield is a little lower, I will use money to subsidize you to do it.

In this regard, we can also cooperate with some scientific research institutions.

At present, due to limited capacity and funds, it is impossible to expand on a large scale, but we can start from a certain place first.

As long as the industrial chain is mature, with the help of the huge power of online shopping, it can completely affect the entire industry.

On a certain level, it is also an opportunity to overtake on a curve.

Online shopping has subverted the traditional sales market.

In addition, Miaozhua Shopping also intends to establish its own grain, oil and fresh food supermarkets in various parts of the city. Miaozhua Shopping will deploy both online and offline.

By the way, it can also provide more employment opportunities for Meow Claw Express.

The more popular this kind of Meow Claw Grain and Oil Fresh Supermarket is distributed, the higher the delivery efficiency and the lower the delivery cost.

It has its own grain and meat production base - a poverty alleviation project in backward areas.

It has its own sales channels - Miaozhao Shopping and the upcoming Miaozhao Fresh.

It has its own transportation channels—an express storage system that has almost spread all over the country.

We have our own publicity channels—whether it’s live broadcasting the green pollution-free base or shooting short videos, we can achieve the purpose of publicity. Bringing goods is really not just for fun.

It's easy to do things when you have everything.

Compared with other companies doing this, Cat Factory can save a lot of costs. Under the circumstance that Mr. Lin does not require profit, these saved costs can be further expanded.

Soon, there will be a Maochang self-operated brand of rice, flour, grain and oil.
