Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 252 Chicken, Supermarket

Although American capital has monopolized the Oriental broiler market.

However, Charoen Pokphand, which was acquired by the Smith family by shorting the Thai baht, and Ho-Fung, a joint venture between the Bush family and Dongfang with Dutch capital, are only a part of the American capital.

The company that actually occupies the largest share is Tyson Foods in North America.

The company is a supplier to restaurant chains such as KFC and McDonald's, as well as supermarket chains such as Walmart and Costco.

Shareholders include the Tyson family, BlackRock, Vanguard, etc.

It is the world's largest producer of chicken, beef and pork.

It entered the East in early 01 and founded Tyson Dalong Foods in Zhucheng, Dongshan.

We hope to use this as a springboard to place orders from the East to North America and complete the import and export business of chicken.

In order to enter the East, the company's chairman Don Tyson came to Dongshan as early as last year and stayed at the Feishi North Suburb International Convention Center Hotel.

Here, Don Tyson's plan to enter the Eastern market was like divine help.

Not only does it get chicken supplies from the Shili Mall headquarters, Taishi Shili Mall, Jishui Shili Mall, Liaoshi Shili Mall, Puyang Shili Mall, but it also gets chicken supplies from 46 Shili Malls under construction in the four southern provinces.

It also obtained the business of world-renowned supermarket brands such as Oriental Walmart, Carrefour, and Metro.

For Don Tyson, this trip to the East was a complete success.

It even contacted the new head of the Walton family behind Walmart supermarkets to discuss increasing investment in the East, or jointly opening more Walmart supermarkets in the East.

It's a pity that the new head of the family seems to be a good-for-nothing.

"What? My family has a supermarket in the East?"

There are 32 Walmarts in the East, including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, but the other party didn't even know about it.

Don Tyson couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the Jewish assets in Europe were becoming increasingly destitute.

With such a successor, how could they possibly defeat the Morgan Consortium?

Just when Don Tyson was about to go to France to talk to the European-owned Carrefour, he suddenly received news that the Bush administration had cut off the supply of chicken to the East.

It originally thought that this was just a threat to force Dongfang to abandon its research on white-feathered chickens.

Unexpectedly, the East's tough attitude forced the Bush administration to actually cut off the supply of chicken.

As a result, Tyson Foods instantly lost the "prosperous Eastern market".

Although Don Tyson is backed by BlackRock and Vanguard, Kobe's father, Bill Clinton, is one of the shareholders of these two major capital groups.

But Don Tyson belonged to the DuPont consortium and was not afraid of Old Bull at all.

So I called Xiaobu and started scolding him on the spot.

"Fuck, if you do this, I will completely lose my status as a supplier to large supermarkets such as Oriental Walmart, and directly lose the market to Sanyuan Agriculture. It will be difficult to get it back in the future!"

After being confused, Xiaobu said, "Wait, Mr. Tyson, there is a Walmart in the East?"

"Not only Wal-Mart, but also Carrefour and Metro..."

"???"

"The purchase contract has been signed, do you want me to give up?!"

"Mr. Tyson, wait a moment, I'll take a break."

……

Beijing.

The largest supermarket within the Second Ring Road, Dongcheng Walmart.

This is a large steel structure building covering an area of ​​more than 300 acres.

It is divided into three floors above ground and three floors underground.

The third floor houses a food court, a cinema, and an arcade.

The second floor is for business shoes, hats, clothing, and leather bags.

The first floor is for gold diamond rings, watches and glasses, mobile phones and computers.
-
The first floor is for sports shoes, hats, clothing, fast food and beverages.
-
2 and -3 are parking lots.

The investors are 'Oriental Walton Family' and Shili Mall Group.

Partners include: Elaine International of England, Sanyuan Agriculture, 45 provincial government-owned enterprises in Dongshan...

The products on the shelves, whether fruits and vegetables, fresh meat, beer, beverages, liquor, snacks, sanitary products, cosmetics, or imported products, are all as regular as can be.

Moreover, the service level of the supermarket is second only to the benchmark of oriental supermarkets - Shili Mall, and is comparable to the three Carrefours in Xicheng and the fifteen Metros outside the Second Ring Road.

Even foreign friends who come here will give a thumbs up: "Very good!"

Therefore, these supermarkets were featured on Beijing radio stations, Beijing newspapers, and even on the Oriental Evening News as early as when they opened in 00.

After all, this is a direct manifestation of foreign investment entering the East.

As for whether these supermarkets are real or fake...

Dongfang’s superiors have visited us in groups several times to talk about people’s livelihood and the future on the spot. Do you dare to say that this is fake?

No, no one ever suspected that these supermarkets were fake.

Today is April 4rd.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the new head of the Walton family, the eldest son of the old Walton, 55-year-old Robson Walton, walked into "East City Wal-Mart".

There was a striking banner at the door: Boycott North America, protest North America, ban the sale of American goods!

Robson Walton knew why.

More than ten days ago, there was a plane collision in the southern waters, and North America made very stringent demands, requiring the East to repair the damaged plane, refuel it, and send it to North America together with the pilot.

As a result, the East's attitude towards North America took a sharp turn for the worse.

Not only are there protesters everywhere, but the internet is once again erupting in a hacker war.

This also had a huge impact on the Walton family's business.

After all, Europe is a country with a lot of capital. Although it has the word "Europe" in its name, it also has a large industrial scale in North America.

Only the money earned was sent to Europe.

Unlike North America, when they make money, they invest it in North America.

This is the essential difference between the Waltons and the Smiths.

Robson Walton thought about it, walked through the security gate and entered the merchandise area of ​​Walmart.

The layout here is very different from a real Walmart.

On the left side of the entrance is the item storage area, where five service staff in professional attire are responsible for registration, but you can also store your items yourself.

On the right side is the storage area for carriers such as hand baskets and trolleys, and there are also service personnel in professional attire who are responsible for recycling, organization and supply.

When you walk into the supermarket, you will see a U-shaped passage. You can enter from the right and exit from the left. There are the rest area-tea bar, promotion area, home appliances, daily chemicals, vegetables and fruits, rice, flour, grain and oil, baking workshop, cooked food, dining area, snack area...

The most eye-catching area is the special chicken section.

Buy 50 kilograms and get a trolley for free, buy 100 kilograms and get a variety of flavor seasonings for free, buy 200 kilograms and get a fine oven for free...

The supermarket also provides frozen services to customers.

For example, if you buy 200 kilograms and cannot finish it, you can take only 10 kilograms away, and the rest can be stored in the cold storage for free and can be picked up at any time within one month.

Robson Walton walked to the chicken stall, picked up a piece of chicken leg, twisted it gently a few times to feel the texture of the meat, then put it in front of his nose to smell it, and then, ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him, took a bite and chewed for a while.

Finally, he took out his handkerchief, spit into it, put it in his pocket, and handed it to the waiter for $1.

“Excellent chicken, it reminded me of ostrich.”

"If it were in North America, I could sell it for five times the price and not worry about no one buying it."

"The magical East, the magical Sanyuan agriculture, the magical Chinese herbal medicine breeding technology."

"Perhaps that amazing guy customized a Chinese medicine formula for the broiler chickens, and even performed medicinal baths, acupuncture, and massage..."

"Sorry, I was just expressing my opinion of this piece of chicken, it's great."

Robson Walton took out his business card and looked at the security captain who was walking over. "I'm the new chairman of Walmart, Robson Walton. I want to see your person in charge."

After a while.

Two sturdy ladies came over with a translator.

"Hello, Chairman. I am Wo Chunlan, the store manager of Dongcheng Walmart and a member of the Oriental Walton family."

"..."

"She is the manager of West City Walmart, Wo Cuihua."

"..."

"Mr. Chairman, our 12 Wal-Mart supermarkets in the East have been losing money for two years. Wal-Mart in the East hopes to get approval from the headquarters for renovation and upgrades and store expansion."

"..."

Who gave you the courage to ask the real owner for money by pretending to be an imposter?

Robson Walton was just about to use the prepared remarks and ask the head of Walmart East to come out to discuss cooperation or prosecution.

But a large crowd of people, carrying cameras and holding microphones, came up to take pictures and ask questions. "Mr. Walton, are you planning to boycott North America during your visit to the East?"

"Mr. Walton, what do you think of North America's approach?"

"Mr. Walton, how much additional investment do you plan to make in the Eastern market?"

Before Robson Walton could react, the reporters left in a hurry again.

Then he was thrown out of the supermarket through the back door by security personnel.

for a long time.

A large color TV hanging at the entrance of Walmart Supermarket in Dongcheng broadcasts news from Beijing.

"Just now, Walmart Chairman Robson Walton visited the East City Walmart supermarket and expressed his anger towards North America."

"..."

"Mr. Robson Walton said Wal-Mart will invest an additional 10 billion euros in Wal-Mart East."

"..."

This crazy world.

Robson Walton watched the news footage and knew very well that his whereabouts had long been known to the young man, and that the other party was not afraid of a lawsuit.

But it still wants to sue Oriental Walmart, otherwise how can the real Walmart enter the East?

As for the lawsuit, since the chicken from North America will return to the East, the Bull family, the Smith family, Don Tyson, etc. will all support him.

……

Trade Hall.

Yu Yang, who had just returned from Hezhou, stood in the square and looked at the functional buildings attached to this first-level town center.

With the explosive growth in the types and volume of trade, this functional building, which is 335 meters long, 75 meters wide and 13 meters high, has long been unable to meet the needs of the 'Oriental Spot Trading Market'.

To this end, three steel structure buildings were extended to the south and west sides of the house.

After-sales, consignment, credit and other businesses are transferred to the periphery of the trade plaza, forming a semi-arc-shaped service corridor.

11 pm.

The building complex, which is 1500 meters long and 900 meters wide, is still brightly lit and bustling with people.

Some people gathered in the square and talked with each other.

Some people sat in the long chairs, talking on the phone.

Some people were in the hall, holding notebooks and staring at the huge LED display.

The broadcasting equipment scattered around occasionally warns that a freight route is blocked due to heavy rain in a certain place, that certain goods are sold out, which financial institution has issued a loan, or that a freight train is about to arrive...

After two years, people who come here frequently have almost completely mastered the trade rules.

The simplest is wholesale: the trade hall supplies, and those in need pay and pick up the goods.

On the contrary, the owner of the goods hands over the goods to the trade hall, and after official inspection and certification, the price and sales time are set according to the grade of the goods, and finally the settlement is made.

If it is a little more complicated: if you think the supply price of the trade hall is too high, you can publish a solicitation, or if you find that the trade hall does not have relevant goods, you can publish a reward, then pay the basic fee and wait for the owner to supply the goods.

If it is more complicated: for example, after purchasing the goods, you go through the consignment and send the goods to the farmers' market in Xishan. At this time, a return empty truck fee will be incurred. If you want to avoid this fee, you can purchase the materials needed by the trade hall in Xishan, and then go through the "completion of the commission" procedure to obtain a certificate of freight refund.

Based on the above, at the beginning, a large group of second-hand dealers emerged in the trade hall, earning a small amount of difference through wholesale and supply.

But as more and more people know about the trade hall, second-hand dealers have long disappeared.

Because even vegetable vendors in the Northeast can place orders and receive supplies by phone as long as they pay a certain deposit to become members, thus eliminating the need for middlemen to make a profit from the price difference.

What's more, after the trade hall is connected to the data center, the service becomes more and more convenient.

For example, if the supply and demand of the cargo owner and buyer in Beihe Shitouzhuang are consistent, the local trade hall office will help both parties complete the transaction, waive freight, ensure quality inspection, and help deal with tax issues.

Therefore, the Trade Hall has set up a 'Customer Service Center' in Xintai City, which is mainly responsible for answering calls, handling business, and summarizing supply and demand.

Therefore, after the price of chicken dropped, 350 million tons of inventory were diverted to all parts of the country at a speed beyond people's imagination.

This means that each of the 12 billion people can buy 5 kilograms of chicken on average.

But 'average' and market demand are two different things.

Some food companies plan to stockpile tens of thousands of tons and sell them after a period of time.

Some processing companies plan to purchase several thousand tons to make side dishes.

Some fast food companies plan to purchase several tons and consume them slowly.

If we add the catering practitioners supported by the trade hall, fried chicken shops, braised chicken shops, and fried chicken shops with various flavors opened in cities above the county level...

The amount of chicken that actually flows into the farmers' market is still in short supply.

Yu Yang sat in the trade hall, staring at the super-large LED, thinking quickly whether to continue opening the cold storage.

At this time, the factory secretary called.

"Chairman, Wal-Mart is suing Oriental Wal-Mart for infringement and demanding compensation of 150 billion yuan in red banknotes for reputational damage."

"I remember that my classmate is about to enter his junior year, right?"

"After the summer vacation, I will be a junior."

"Let the counselor take our classmates to accept the commission of Oriental Wal-Mart and sue Wal-Mart for extortion."

"???"

“Don’t follow your opponent’s thinking, or you will fail miserably.”

"..."

After Yu Yang finished the call, he considered whether to continue opening the cold storage and decided to go to the countryside.

……

In fact, no matter how foreign capital blocks it, the northern vegetable market will always be the basic base of Sanyuan Agriculture.

And with the expansion of the three industries, Sanyuan Agriculture's influence on the northern vegetable market is growing.

Just like Beiliuzhi Township in Jing County, Hengshui, Beihe.

This place is about 400 miles away from Shiliying Street in the south.

4 points in the early hours.

More than a dozen heavy-duty transport trucks with two carriages drove into the central street of the township where the market was located.

The vendors who had been waiting for a long time lined up according to the slogans posted on the outside of the carriage to receive the goods they had ordered from the trade hall by phone or through the computer at Sanyuan Pharmacy.

Including fruits and vegetables, fish and shrimp, meat, rice, flour, grain and oil, beer and beverages, spices and seasonings, seeds and pesticides, fertilizers and feeds, flowers and potted plants, clothes, hats, shoes and socks, daily chemicals, paper products, office supplies, leather products, water pumps and agricultural machinery, wires and pipes, cement products, textile products...

These things, either packaged in boxes or in plastic film, all have the origin, shelf life and precautions marked on them.

Some also posted "Sanyuan agricultural cultivation, Shouguang planting",
or 'Sanyuan building materials research and development, Dongshan cement OEM production',
Or icons like 'Trade Hall Member, Sun Paper'.

soon.

The central street, which originally had only empty stalls, was gradually filled with various goods.

Even on the streets, there are two brand new Shifeng agricultural tricycles and a brand new Wuling Zhiguang van.

The former is priced at: 15 horsepower big promotion, only 3880 yuan.

The latter is priced as follows: new car on the market, discount of 1888, free license plate, free first-time car insurance, leather seat cushions, annual membership of the trade hall, and payment in installments.

Yu Yang strolled around for a long time and smelled the smell of fried chicken.

He looked around and found the store.

This is a catering vehicle mounted on a walking tractor.

Built-in gas tank, frying box, selling fried chicken fillet, fried chicken balls, fried chicken racks, fried chicken wings, fried chicken nuggets, fried chicken legs...

There was a slogan hanging above: Buy one and get a free Coke, buy two and get a free Hadagens, buy three and get a free chicken sausage.

In another time and space, fried chicken was considered junk food because of its high calories and fat content.

But at this time and place, people's intake of calories, protein, and fat is far from meeting the standards, and fried chicken cannot be considered junk food for the time being.

In addition, the catering vehicles invested in by these trade halls use Xiwang blended oil and Heshi safe chicken, and no negative elements exceeding the standard have been detected so far.

Yu Yang didn't want to eat roast chicken in the morning, so he turned around and looked at the 'roast chicken series', 'steamed chicken series', 'braised chicken series', 'spicy chicken series', 'cold shredded chicken series'...

Finally, I found a fried dough stick shop, bought a few fried dough sticks, and ate them with spicy soup to satisfy my hunger.

While eating and drinking, an old man's radio next to me played news about the negotiations between the East and North America.

The people eating next to us were also talking about these things.

Some were inexplicably angry and said it would be best to fight.

Some were relatively calm and expressed their concerns about not being able to defeat the Americans when talking about the Gulf War.

Some analysts also believe that North America will never fight with the East.

Yu Yang prefers the last one because capitalist imperialism is a paper tiger.
