"Reed, I have an idea. Maybe we can work together. Are you all good at agricultural products? "
"Although we are not the biggest in the US, we have many farms, fishing boats, and our own food brand. Our potato chips are the best-selling in the US."
Reed doesn't know why Feng Yu is asking this. Agricultural products must be produced in large quantities to generate high profits. Why does Feng Yu want to invest in this?
Finance, IT, Electronics, Automobile, etc. were all high profits. Even the retail business had high profits. Why did Feng Yu want to produce agricultural products?
"No, I am not going to invest in your food brand. I want to invest in your agricultural products like lobsters, crabs, freshwater fish, etc. These are not popular in the US."
Western restaurants might be talking about how delicious lobsters are and how many people love it, but in reality, lobster sales in the US are declining.
Also, there are many freshwater fish in the US, but Americans don't eat them because they have too many bones.
Many states in the US have experienced overpopulation of crabs and carps, but they don't know how to deal with them. If this happened in Hua Xia, people would have caught them and eaten them a long time ago.
Crayfish was also an invasive species in Hua Xia in the past. At that time, they were reproducing crazily. Now, they have to be farmed because there is not enough to eat.
Ralph once told Feng Yu an interesting story. A small town in the US made money from selling lobsters in the past. But now, the US economy is declining, and lobsters are not selling well. Americans don't like to eat lobsters as much anymore.
In that small town, a lobster feast costs less than 20 USD! This shows that the cost of the lobsters is less than half.
Feng Yu felt that if he can transport these lobsters back to Hua Xia, he will surely make money. Lobsters are rare delicacies in Hua Xia. Many people think of lobsters as a dish worth more than 1,000 USD, and not everyone can afford it.
But in reality, lobsters are very cheap.
Also, even if the lobsters are transported by air to Hua Xia, including the transportation costs, it will not be expensive. Moreover, with a layer of imported products, they could earn even more money.
Don't forget that Feng Yu is also a shareholder of Beidacang Group, and Beidacang Group is Hua Xia and Asia's biggest agricultural products company. Now, they are working hard to enter the European and US markets. As for the African market, it had already been settled.
Beidacang was thinking of ways to bring in foreign delicacies or trade delicacies from different regions. From a place with a lot of people to a place with a lot of people, and then make a profit.
The people of Hua Xia had an increasing demand for delicacies. Because of the improved living conditions, the people of Hua Xia naturally began to pay more attention to food and clothing.
Buy a big house in the city, the kind with an elevator. To buy a car, one had to have a reputation, the kind that everyone knew about. His clothes had to be eye-catching. As for the food, it naturally had to be something that he had never eaten before. Not only was it delicious, but it was also the kind that would make others gasp in surprise.
Hua Xia had also brought in some Western food and exported Hua Xia's delicacies overseas. For example, Beidacang had helped Hua Xia's snacks to be exported to more than 10 countries around the world. Among them, the most popular is Shaxian snacks!
Hua Xia's steamed buns, dumplings, tanghulu, roujiamo, and many other snacks had gained a foothold overseas and even became popular.
Just the difference between importing and exporting made Beidacang profits a lot. Furthermore, many of these products were sold by Beidacang themselves, and the profits were higher.
But Beidacang had some problems with the US now. This was because Hua Xia had stopped importing GM foods and stopped growing them. This made some of Beidacang's partners in the US unhappy.
But they had never thought that the Americans also do not eat GM foods. They call these crops as cash crops or commodity crops and not food crops.
Did everyone realize that there was no GM wheat in the world? Was it because they could not develop it? Absolutely not!
Some people guessed that it was because wheat was the main food for Westerners, and the Americans did not research on it. Whoever studies on it will be everyone's enemy.
But corn, soybeans, etc. are fine. Even rice is genetically modified, and its output is higher than Hua Xia's hybrid rice.
Hua Xia does not want to buy GM foods. Many poor countries in Africa and Asia lack food.
Although it was not proven that GM foods were safe, it was not proven to be unsafe. That's why many countries still buy and grow GM foods.
But Hua Xia had started to reject GM foods, and many other countries were wary of her. The US agriculture industry was affected because of this.
If Beidacang is willing to import other agricultural products, it will be a great help to the US agriculture industry.
The US is a technologically advanced country, but it is also an agricultural country. There are many farms in the US, and many businessmen and athletes will buy a farm after their retirement to enjoy the countryside.
"Feng, you are saying that you want to import large quantities of our US agricultural products?"
"Not all of them. It's just some of them. It's up to us what to import, but it will bring in high profits for the US and increase the number of workers. "
Feng Yu felt it was interesting to let the US become Hua Xia's plantation and breeding base.
But in the future, Hua Xia will work hard to be self-sufficient. If the US can produce these agricultural products, Hua Xia should also be able to produce them. Both countries are in the same latitude.
"Feng, how much do you think the annual trade will be? How many jobs can it create? "Reid asked.
"It's at least a billion USD worth of trade every year. It will only increase, not decrease. At least 10,000 people will be employed. Is this a small amount? "
10,000 people is not a lot compared to the US. But compared to the number of unemployed people in the US, it is a significant proportion. This is a good deal.
The reason why large consortiums were large consortiums was that, in addition to their main business, they had invested in almost all industries. They would be able to get a share of any industry's prosperity. If any industry falls, they will also not be affected.
"Feng, this is too little. If you can let Hua Xia import our seeds or grains, we can give you some shares of this company."
Feng Yu raised his chin. "Is your grain company very profitable?"
In other words, Feng Yu does not care about these profits. His main business is bringing him billions of profits every year.
"Also, I still have something on. You can continue to discuss with Li Zeju and Masao Kameda. This small business is taking up so much of my time. "
Reid smiled. This is a business worth a few billion USD, but Feng Yu said it is a small business. So what if he is the World's Richest Man?
Fine. The World's Richest Man is really something.
