Chapter 358 So fresh and refined
Let’s go back to agricultural projects in Africa. Needless to say, you should already understand the huge investment in the early stage.
In addition, the cost is quite high. There are no basic industries such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural machinery, and even steel. The import price is quite high.
There are also restrictions on import and export. On the one hand, European and American countries have introduced various policies to subsidize and protect their agricultural products. Including Africa, its own quarantine work has not been done well, and it has been completely banned by many countries. Especially in the breeding industry,
Many places simply do not import live animals and animal products from Africa. For example, in the Middle East, they import live sheep, but they do not go to Africa, which is just around the corner. They would rather pay high prices to import from other places, including China, which also exports some?
On the other hand, African countries do not encourage exports, especially the export of various staple foods. The reason is simple. If we are about to starve to death, do we still need to export?
This leads to a situation where no one is willing to invest and falls into a vicious cycle.
There is another point that is also very important. African agricultural products do sell well, but they are all sold locally, and the only money they get is local currency? Many African countries cannot freely exchange foreign exchange, it is useless to hold it, and it hurts to wipe their butts. Unless
Continue to invest locally, or find some export projects. Otherwise, it is just a string of numbers, meaningless at all.
At this point, Wang Shuijing smiled and said: "Xiao Rong, actually African farms can really make money. In order to encourage foreign investment, some countries are even willing to give away a large piece of land for free. In addition, the profit margin there is very good, often higher than at home.
Many times. If it weren't for those problems, it would indeed be a very good place. Alas! Why not give it to us Chinese?"
"Hey hey hey." Rong Guang was happy.
"Huh?" Wang Shuijing suddenly thought thoughtfully, "Xiao Rong, I remembered that in fact, your breeding center-cooperative model is particularly suitable for poor countries such as Africa. Part of your staple food can be sold locally, and donkeys can be imported.
In China, there are also donkeys all over the mountains and plains. The locals regard donkeys as beasts of burden, which are very important means of production. The price is not expensive, I heard it is only a few dozen dollars, right?"
"Oh? Tell me." Rong Guang also became interested.
When it comes to overseas layout, Rongguang definitely doesn’t want to be completely controlled by European and American countries. Otherwise, if Yingjiang gets nervous, their group of horses will bite people like a bunch of mad dogs. Therefore, the wider the scope, the better. It is best to have layouts in various countries.
Several farms. If something goes wrong here, the most I can do is withdraw the investment and keep the donkey for you to play with! It won’t hurt at all.
Wang Shuijing smiled and said: "We'd better find the relevant departments and ask them to contact the local governments to reach some kind of assistance to African countries. This will save a lot of trouble and get many preferential policies, maybe the United Nations, the World Food and Agriculture Organization
, the World Bank will directly allocate funds. Moreover, such intergovernmental projects will have much fewer risks. You can also get help from embassies and consulates abroad."
"Huh?" Rong Guang suddenly discovered a common point. Both Han En and Wang Shuijing mentioned it - government support and preferential policies! This proves that the water in bulk agricultural products is very deep, and it is impossible for one person to do it alone?
It turns out that I am just a rookie who doesn’t know anything, and I plunged into this muddy water all at once? Damn it, I’m covered in sweat from the Lushan Falls!
However, this is already the case, so... simply improve it?
Rong Guang thought about it for a while: "Old Wang, how about using this banner? Just say that we hate aid and charity, and it's like giving alms to beggars. What we want to do is - through our hands, we can get rich together! I'm here
Use money to buy or rent farms, establish export-oriented meat donkey breeding enterprises, and produce large quantities of staple grains and other cash crops that are lacking in the local area. And only sell staple grains and purchase donkeys through the local government. If local officials are corrupt, then give them to them as well.
An opportunity to make a fortune. Other organizations provide assistance to a vocational school. Of course, the more aid the better. The school allows locals to learn modern agricultural techniques, and students can go to breeding centers and farms for free internships. Those with particularly outstanding results will be provided with domestic assistance.
A few study abroad places. If local policies open up and I personally build a few more cinemas, I can send a few African children to Nortel and let them learn to make movies? The African grasslands also need film art! Labor, wealth, dignity
, culture, build a package? How about that?”
Wang Shuijing was dumbfounded. How could an agricultural project be treated so fresh and refined by Rong Guang?
However, Wang Shuijing still has some doubts: "Xiao Rong, although you are not claiming charity, you are still providing aid. This cannot be deceived at all. If you make money through aid, aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation?"
"Common prosperity! Of course I want to make money! Why should my reputation be damaged? Have you ever heard of the story of Zigong's redemption? It is an act that all old masters admire. At the expense of me, I hope more and more people in the world will learn to prosper together.
, so that the poor people in Asia, Africa and Latin America can be saved faster. Hahaha!"
The allusion of Zigong redeeming people comes from "The Analects". You can search for the general content by yourself, but I won't go into detail here. And this allusion contains the teachings of Confucius - you should get reasonable rewards for doing good deeds, not the pursuit of personal morality.
Just be noble. Because it can attract others to imitate, you can save more people. That is the real great wisdom!
Rong Guang smiled proudly, and Wang Shuijing was shocked. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would have thought that some idiot had become a saint.
In the end, the two decided to establish the Eastern Headquarters of an agricultural company, which is responsible for all business in China, Southeast Asia, the former Soviet Union, Central Asia and Africa. Basically, they adopt the breeding center-cooperative model, with 9,000 donkeys slaughtered every year, 1:2
Construction of standard proportions.
In other words, each farm will also operate independently. The breeding center sells 3,000 donkeys every year, and nearby farmers purchase 6,000. Taking into account the traceability standards, the purchased meat donkeys will be tagged and raised in the breeding center for more than half a year to prevent any problems.
Question. Of course, it depends on the specific conditions. If the conditions are not suitable, the scale will be smaller; if the conditions are suitable, the scale can be appropriately enlarged.
As for why the African region was assigned to the East? There is no need to explore this detail.
The Eastern Headquarters will also borrow US$25 million and recruit a management team of more than 10 people. Each location will also localize management and recruit some local employees. In addition, the Eastern Headquarters and the Western Headquarters will continue to exchange personnel, because both parties still need to cooperate with each other.
of.
