Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 36 The Plan

  Which kind of company may look bright on the surface, but it is too influenced by the times and it is difficult to survive for a long time.

  People are forgetful, people like the new and hate the old, and once those companies fail to do their best, they will be ruthlessly abandoned by people.

  The challenges and pressures they face every day, every moment, are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

   In contrast, the necessity of food will never be out of date. As long as there are human beings in this world, then food will exist along with it.

   and master the food, then this company, this family, can be preserved forever.

  Yang Chen knows that in the future, these four major grain merchants will enter the mainland in a big way.

   In another two years, in 1983, ADM, one of the four major grain merchants, will set up an Asia-Pacific branch in Hong Kong to prepare for the next entry into the mainland and the Asian market.

  ADM is the world's first grain and oilseed processing plant, the largest soybean crushing processing plant and corn additive manufacturing plant in the United States.

  The second largest flour mill in the United States and the fifth largest grain export trading company in the world.

  Among the four major grain merchants, ADM has always been known for its emphasis on research and development. Many famous grains and oils in China, such as Luhua, came from ADM Group.

   The domestic grain and oil prices in later generations are basically controlled by ADM and the other three major grain merchants.

   It can be said that the reason why grain and oil in later generations are so expensive, which is much higher than that of salt and grain, is not without the fact that the four major grain merchants control domestic grain and oil production.

   Therefore, whether it is for their own future plans, or to prevent the national grain and oil from being impacted by the four major grain merchants.

   Taking advantage of the fact that the four major grain merchants are still planning for globalization, they are still arguing with each other, and they have not focused their attention on the new land of Asia, Yang Chen must hurry up and occupy a place in it.

   For an industry like food, which does not have much technical content, it is easy to do things as long as you have money. For him, it is simply tailor-made.

   Today, Asia is still developing. Although the four major grain merchants have already made arrangements, their attention and competition direction are still concentrated in Europe and the United States.

   Their power in Asia is not strong, Yang Chen can take this opportunity to enter the retail industry and grab the Asian site first.

   Even if you can’t completely occupy it, you have to bite down a piece of meat fiercely.

   Finally, we will wait until the country is completely opened up, take advantage of the identity of the Chinese, and take the lead in occupying a powerful position. The most important thing is to unite with COFCO to resist the invasion of the four major grain merchants.

  In the future business globalization, everything is about openness, but there must be a limit to openness.

  As a country with more than one billion people and the largest population in the world, it is absolutely impossible for foreign companies to control the necessities of life such as food.

   Think about the domestic soybean market in later generations. Due to the opening to the outside world, a large number of foreign-funded enterprises continued to flow in. Small and medium-sized soybean processing enterprises and oil-pressing enterprises in China were overwhelmed, and they declared bankruptcy one after another, and were then merged by foreign capital at a low price.

  From the former soybean exporting countries, to the later generations, 70% of soybeans need to be imported every year in China, and the soybean pricing power is basically sidelined.

   These lessons are profound.

   In addition to the core of the retail industry, media and entertainment is also a place that needs attention.

   If you think about a media report in later generations, it can indirectly affect the market value of a company. It is not difficult to see the influence of the media through this.

   Moreover, if the retail industry wants to develop well, it also needs the cooperation and publicity of the media. Having a media company of its own is also crucial to its future development.

   Having established these two points, Yang Chen didn't think much about it, because both industries are gold-sucking beasts. If he wants to enter the media and retail industries, he needs to invest a lot of money.

   Therefore, what he considers next is not how to plan and develop in the future, but how to make money.

  In 99% of the countries in the world, capitalist society is dominated. Without money, everything is an illusion.

  He Chaoqiong saw that Yang Chen was in deep thought, and did not interrupt, because she knew that the other party was seriously thinking about her previous question.

   Therefore, they sat quietly with Xue Yufei without saying a word, the two women pressed their chins and quietly looked at Yang Chen's contemplative face.

   After an unknown amount of time, Yang Chen, who had recovered from his thoughts, saw the two girls staring at him dumbly, and he touched his nose and said, "Why are you all looking at me like this?"

   Seeing this, the two women exchanged blushing glances.

  Xue Yufei was the first to recover and asked aloud, "Chen, have you thought about what to do next?"

   After Xue Yufei asked, He Chaoqiong took over and said, "Yes, Ah Chen, now you have about 180,000 Hong Kong dollars in your hands. Where are you going to spend this money?"

   said, He Chaoqiong couldn't help suggesting: "Why don't you start a record company, Ah Chen, then you will become the boss yourself, so you won't have to be bound by the company."

   "Open a record company?" Hearing this, Yang Chen shook his head in denial without thinking about it.

   If it wasn't for the sake of gaining fame, he wouldn't have the heart to sing any songs or make any records.

   That thing, no matter how good or big it is in the future, has limited potential, especially after the emergence of later-generation star studios, those stars are rushing to follow suit one by one, and those who are capable and famous have all gone it alone.

  What kind of entertainment company, the money such a company makes every year, in Yang Chen's eyes, even pocket money is not enough.

   In such a company with a long investment time and low return efficiency, how could Yang Chen be willing to waste the first pot of gold that he finally earned on it.

   Seeing that Yang Chen didn't want to open a record company, He Chaoqiong asked in confusion, "If you don't open a record company, what are you going to do?"

   For this question, Yang Chen did not rush to answer, but asked He Chaoqiong, "Aqiong, do you have time next?"

   "Press? What are you asking this for?" He Chaoqiong blinked, as if she understood what Yang Chen wanted to say.

  Yang Chen said: "Although I have some money in my hand now, these are far from enough. I have two opportunities to make quick money now. I want you and Yu Fei to help me.

   When I have enough money, I will officially enter two industries, and the initial investment in those two industries is very large. I need you to help me find some people. When I earn enough money, I will plan the next step. "

   As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking, Xue Yufei who was beside him said, "Chen, I can help you find someone you need."

   Seeing Xue Yufei's unhesitating statement, He Chaoqiong didn't hesitate any more, and hurriedly said, "I have time too, just tell me if you need someone."
