"Feng Yu, Beidacang had won two advertising slots on CCTV this year. Although it is expensive, it is not bad. We are going to promote Beidacang's brand. What do you think about the brand cooperation?" Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu.
"You are working at Beidacang? Shouldn't Niu Kun be the one talking to me? Furthermore, didn't I ask him to look for Zhang Ming? What's wrong? Did Zhang Ming not agree? "Feng Yu asked.
Feng Yu had told Zhang Ming to stall for time and let Beidacang buy the advertising slots on CCTV before they enter into a full cooperation. Without Feng Yu's permission, Zhang Ming would never agree.
Zhang Ming also wanted to see. This Beidacang was so big but did not have enough funds. He also wanted to know if the Provincial Government would invest more this year. If the Provincial Government only wants funds from the higher-ups, then Beidacang is worth cooperating with. If the Provincial Government only wanted to get funds from the higher-ups, and the higher-ups did not do their best during the implementation, Zhang Ming would not be willing to get involved.
Tai Hua Agricultural Products Company was also a famous company in China. Their investments might not be as big as Beidacang, but their assets were at least a few hundred million. Their annual turnover was more than 1 billion RMB. Beidacang could not be compared to them.
Zhang Ming was waiting for Beidacang to fail. After that, he will persuade Feng Yu to take out another sum of money, or let Tai Hua Processed Food Company get listed to acquire Beidacang!
This way, Tai Hua Agricultural Products Company will be China's and Asia's No.1 agricultural products company. Zhang Ming will get more benefits.
But Feng Yu rejected this idea. Firstly, Feng Yu does not want to do this. This will benefit all the farms in Longjiang Province. If he uses some business methods to suppress the farmers, then the farmers' income will decrease. Feng Yu does not want to cheat these farmers. Secondly, the Provincial Government and the Government will see this happening, and this will affect Feng Yu's relationship with the Provincial Government. Tai Hua Agricultural Products Company's development will also be affected.
Even if Zhang Ruiqiang did not ask, Zhang Ming will also sign the cooperation agreement with Niu Kun before Lunar New Year.
"There are many things to deal with in our city, and we still have to deal with the Provincial Government. We don't have time to care about Beidacang Group. Old Niu is being held back by Zhang Ming until he has no other choice, so he asked me to talk to him. Don't tell me that Zhang Ming or your father will make the decision. This matter will definitely be decided by you. "
When Feng Yu was still running a small business, the two of them had known each other. It could be said that Feng Yu's growth over the years was witnessed by Zhang Ruiqiang. When it came to the company's decisions, it was all Feng Yu's decision. No one else's words were effective!
"This Zhang Ming, I have already said that we must work together with our hometown's enterprises. I will call him later and scold him." Feng Yu said "angrily".
Zhang Ruiqiang rolled his eyes at Feng Yu. Keep pretending!
"Since we have decided to cooperate fully, then can you help us with Beidacang's food exports this year? Russia's purchase volume had decreased a lot this year. "
Speaking of this, Zhang Ruiqiang felt a little depressed. Russia had been importing a lot of food from Hua Xia, especially Longjiang Province.
But these two years, Russia's agriculture industry had recovered, and the recovery speed was faster than everyone expected. All these were not done by the Russians. It was the Longjiang Province's people.
It was Feng Yu's farmers export program. Many Longjiang Province's farmers had gone to Russia to contract their land. The City Government had provided loans to the farmers, and the City Government had helped Longjiang Province's farmers.
That's right. The farmers' income had increased by a lot. At the end of the year, those farmers who went to Longjiang Province to contract their land had increased by several folds!
The farmers became rich, and the mechanization of farms became much faster. On the surface, this was definitely a good thing.
But there was a problem. Russia's demand for Longjiang Province's food imports had decreased, and Longjiang Province's food production had increased year after year.
Russia's Far East region's land was very similar to Longjiang Province's land. The climate was also similar. Longjiang Province's farmers were allowed to open up wastelands, and those who went to Russia were greedy. They tried their best to open up wastelands and plant more crops. In the end, Russia's food production had increased, but Longjiang Province's crops could not be sold!
Soybeans, corn, wheat, and sugar beets were the four main crops in Russia, and Russia's imports had dropped significantly. Of course, Longjiang Province was not the only one affected. Other countries that exported food to Russia, like Australia, were also affected.
Beidacang had just been set up, and they could not sell their crops in the first year. This was a slap to Russia's face!
Zhang Ruiqiang knew Feng Yu had strong connections in Russia. His Songjiang Motors could export so many cars to the Russian government and military. It should not be a problem for him to sell his crops.
Feng Yu had heard about this from his father. He said that this year's grain prices had dropped a little, but luckily the Provincial Government had set a protective price, and they will not suffer any losses. But this year's profits were much lower than last year.
Feng Yu had only wanted to help Longjiang Province's farmers and help Uncle Wen get some credit. But he did not expect this to affect Longjiang Province's economy.
Seems like there was a reason why the Russians agreed to help Kirilenko. Although Kirilenko had given up the land, he had also received the rent and cheap crops. At least, Russia's food prices were lower than Longjiang Province's. Russia's profits were much higher than Longjiang Province!
Feng Yu scratched his head. Kirilenko should be able to help him sell his crops to Russia. Even if Russia does not need crops, the former Soviet Union's allied countries should also be short of food. Should he ask Kirilenko for help?
Eh, wait. Why must they sell their crops? They should be stocking up this year!
"There is no need to sell those crops. Wheat, corn, soybeans, etc., can be stocked up to fill up the granaries. Many of our granaries are empty, right? "
There will be floods in two years' time. If they stocked up this year and next year, they will be able to survive 1998. If not, Beidacang's costs will increase, and they will not be able to compete with other countries.
Kirilenko remembered that in 1998, the government had requested for the country's granaries to be opened up for disaster relief. In the end, they realized that many granaries were empty. Longjiang Province's granaries were the most misreported.
This was the first time the government found out about misreporting of granaries. Iron-fist Zhu had proudly said that Hua Xia will survive even if there is no grain production for three years. But the reality was cruel.
Those people had made false reports to the higher-ups to claim subsidies for the granaries. After that, they will rent out the empty granaries for profits. Feng Yu wanted to ask if the City Government does not know about this.
Zhang Ruiqiang's eyes twitched. "What do you mean the granaries are empty?!"
