Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

"Dean Wang, don't get excited. This money is not given to you directly. Here's the thing. Our Huasheng Group is planning to establish an agricultural company. In the future, the main business of this company will be seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, and various other things. Advanced agricultural technology. In the next five years, we will invest 100 billion yuan in this company for the research and development of various projects. If the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is willing to cooperate with us, we will undertake some research projects..."

Xu Huasheng began to explain his intention to Dean Wang in detail.

Huasheng Group wants to enter the agricultural field, especially the seed field.

Now Huasheng Group has money, but talent is scarce.In fact, with the capabilities of Huasheng Group, it would be no problem to directly poach the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

However, Xu Huasheng did not do this directly, but chose to cooperate with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in an all-round way.

Huasheng Group provides money and equipment, and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences provides people. The results of research and development belong to Huasheng Group, but the Academy of Agricultural Sciences can own part of the shares and directly enjoy the dividends of these results in the future.

For example, the two parties have developed a high-yielding wheat seed. Huasheng Group owns the patent and is responsible for selling these seeds. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences will share a portion of the profits earned.

"Dean Wang, seeds are crucial to our country's food security. Currently, we are lagging far behind in the field of seeds. We at Huasheng Group also hope that through this cooperation, we can improve our country's technology for high-quality and improved seeds..."

Xu Huasheng and Dean Wang started chatting.

China's current seed technology lags far behind that of developed countries.

Whether it is the United States, Europe, or Japan, their planting technology is far behind China.

Although China is a major agricultural country, it is relatively backward in agricultural technology.As for those foreign food giants, they control seeds, control a large amount of land, and control the bargaining power of international food prices.

They can even use food to destroy a country's economy.

In 2003, China suffered a loss in soybeans, allowing the four major grain merchants to make a lot of money.However, when the four major grain merchants tried to repeat their old tricks later, they were attacked by China Grain Reserves. In the end, they fought with China Grain Reserves for more than two years and returned in defeat. From then on, the methods used by the four major grain merchants abroad were no longer the same. They dare to play in China because they have no idea how much grain is stored in the China Grain Storage warehouse.

Food security is greater than the sky, and China will become the world's largest food importer in the future.However, the import volume of the three major staple foods, wheat, corn, and rice, will basically be relatively small in the future, and they will be able to meet self-sufficiency.

The reason why China will become the world's largest food importer in the future is that the most important imported products are soybeans and cane sugar.

The reason why China will have such a huge demand for soybeans in the future is actually mainly due to the increased demand for meat, eggs and milk.In the future, China will be the world's largest soybean consumer. Taking 2020 data as an example, China's soybean consumption will reach 2020 million tons in 1.04, accounting for 30% of global consumer demand. In 2019, China imported soybeans, accounting for approximately 84.86% of total domestic consumption.

In terms of sucrose, the top five countries and regions in global white sugar production are India, Brazil, the European Union, Thailand and China, with a combined output of 60% of the world.In 2019, China's imported sugar accounted for 25.95% of total domestic sugar consumption, which means that about a quarter of the sucrose needs to be imported.

But in this era, China's consumption of soybeans and sucrose is not so large.

If Huasheng Group makes arrangements in advance, with Huasheng Group's financial advantage, the four major grain merchants will also be defeated by Huasheng Group in the future.

In the future, Huasheng Group's products will be sold all over the world, especially electronic products with relatively high premiums.After selling these products, you can earn a lot of profits. If you don't use up the money, you can purchase large-scale land abroad.

You must know that land in many foreign countries is privately owned. As long as you buy it, it is yours.For example, Bill Gates, the richest man in the original time and space, everyone knows that he owns Microsoft, but many people don't know that he is also a super farmer with a terrifying amount of land in his hands.

The arrival of Xu Huasheng made the entire Academy of Agricultural Sciences lively.

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences is naturally very happy about the cooperation with Huasheng Group.With the funds from Huasheng Group, agricultural researchers will have money to do research, and they will be able to develop better products faster, and these products will better benefit the people.

With good products, Huasheng Group can make profits, farmers can get benefits, and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences can also make profits. This is a virtuous circle.

In fact, this is true for all major industries around the world. As long as there is a large amount of capital injection, this industry will develop rapidly.It's just that some industries are not very profitable and have relatively long return cycles, so a lot of capital is unwilling to come in.

This is the case in China's agricultural field. Because the land is publicly owned, there are no large-scale private farms, and Zhongtian's economic benefits are low, so there is not much domestic capital willing to invest in it.

"Mr. Xu, let me introduce to you. This is Professor Yuan, an expert on rice in my country. He happens to be in Yanjing these days. He has received an invitation from the annual meeting of the Rockefeller Foundation in the United States and is planning to go to the United States at the end of the month..."

In the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Xu Huasheng was very surprised when he saw Mr. Yuan.

He didn't expect Mr. Yuan to be in Yanjing, but Dean Wang's introduction made Xu Huasheng understand instantly.

"Hello, Professor Yuan, I have admired your name for a long time. You are our contemporary Shennong in China. If it weren't for you, many people in China would still be hungry..."

Xu Huasheng quickly shook hands with Mr. Yuan. This was China's contemporary Shennong.The title of the father of hybrid rice is not for nothing. Mr. Yuan’s contribution to rice is recognized and respected around the world.

"Mr. Xu, you're welcome..."

Mr. Yuan smiled and said that he was also very curious about Xu Huasheng. He didn't know who the young man in front of him was.

Mr. Yuan naturally didn't know much about Huasheng Group. After all, he spent most of his time in the laboratory or experimental fields.

"Lao Yuan, this young man is our God of Wealth..."

Dean Wang smiled and said that when he told Huasheng Group that it planned to spend 100 billion yuan to cooperate with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Mr. Yuan was also surprised.

100 billion yuan, this is simply an unimaginable number.

Even for your own projects, if you apply for funds every time, you can apply for several million, which is a lot.Now this little guy opens his mouth and asks for 100 billion in funds. Why does this sound so false?You won't be another braggart who talks about running the train.

Seeing Mr. Yuan's expression, Xu Huasheng also laughed.

"Professor Yuan, you are a person I particularly respect. I also admire what you have done. So now, on my own behalf, I am donating [-] million yuan to your institute. I hope this money can help our country." The rice technology will be improved to a higher level, allowing more farmers to profit and more people to have enough to eat..."

Xu Huasheng said directly. After hearing this, Mr. Yuan and Dean Wang were stunned for a moment.
