On the way home, Su Yuwei asked, "what do you do to promote Bai Yongan so easily?"
Zhang Qianxiu said without any care: "looking good, you nodded again, which means that his ability is OK. Now there is a shortage of people everywhere, so let him come up."
"You can't see one person in a day, so you'd better be more careful in employing people." Su Yuwei said.
Zhang Qianxiu agreed with Su Yuwei's words: "we can't see a person clearly, but we don't have so much time to observe slowly now!"
"You can't be promoted as casually as you are! The specific situation has not been fully understood. " Su Yuwei said.
Zhang Qianxiu felt a little surprised: "daughter in law, you look like you have a lot of management experience."
"I don't have management experience. That's the most basic truth. If you want to employ people, you have to understand them to a certain extent, or you will cause more trouble in the future." When Su Yuwei said this, she suddenly stopped and said, "I can see that you don't care about this cannery or that biscuit factory at all."
Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "I don't care much."
Zhang Qianxiu cares about the business of selling rice, so he doesn't dare to use people casually. He doesn't care about the cannery and biscuit factory. He has very low requirements for these two factories, as long as he doesn't owe money. As for the management, he doesn't really care.
Su Yuwei said: "today, I have read the orders, profits, materials and other statements of the cannery. The profits are very high. It's more profitable than selling rice."
Zhang Qianxiu said: "this thing can't be done for a long time. In the long run, the canned food market will definitely shrink."
"Now people like to eat canned food. First, they can't afford good fruit. Second, canned food tastes sweet and tastes OK."
"Now canned fruit is the best seller. When everyone's economic ability is strong and they have money in hand, and they can afford to eat fruit, the sales of canned fruit will be greatly reduced."
Su Yuwei thought about it secretly and said: "even if what you said is true, it will take a process. This process will take at least ten years. In other words, within ten years, as long as you manage the factory well, you can still make money."
"To put it in a bad way, which do you think makes more money, the rice business or the canning business of the same scale?"
Zhang Qianxiu was lost in thought. He really had some tangles, because Su Yuwei was right.
The canning business will definitely have a market within ten years. Even in 2000, people's living standards will be average, and the demand for canning is still very large.
It seems that we need to make a new plan. Zhang Qianxiu sighed and said, "it seems that we should discuss everything with others. Everyone has a different angle of thinking about things."
Su Yuwei said: "in fact, this has both advantages and disadvantages. Grain business is just needed. It is needed at any time. Unless there is something that can replace grain, it is impossible to shake the status of grain anyway."
"If one day science and technology can make something out of nothing and produce what we eat with some raw materials, we don't need farmers to grow it, but if science and technology want to develop to that point, we will not see it in our lifetime."
Speaking of this, Zhang Qianxiu suddenly thought of several companies, that is, the later famous ABCD, four companies.
These four major grain merchants control 80% of the world's grain trade, and they can even crush a country with grain.
After the food incident in Mexico, these four companies made great efforts, which eventually led to the collapse of agriculture in Mexico.
At that time, the United States and Mexico signed a grain import and export agreement, and each year, the United States exported a certain amount of grain to Mexico.
Because the cost of corn production in America is very low, the price of corn sold to Mexico is almost equal to the cost of planting corn in Mexico.
That's good. The selling price of merican is almost the same as the planting cost of Mexicans. Mexicans are almost finished. When they can't sell their corn, the cost of planting corn can buy more corn.
Originally, the Mexican government also considered this problem and gave a limit, that is, they can only import a fixed amount every year. However, the merchants are profitable and import a large number of goods by various means, which greatly exceeds the limit of the Mexican government and directly makes the farmers in the Mexican country complete.
And these operations have the shadow of the four major grain merchants in it.
Then the four major grain merchants sold seeds to Mexicans, saying that they were high-yield.
These seeds are indeed high-yield, but if the people of Mexicans want seeds, they have to go to them to buy seeds and matching pesticides. These seeds can't be kept. If you keep a little of them every time you harvest, the yield will be lower and lower. These seeds are disposable and must be bought every year.
This has also become the last straw to overwhelm the agriculture of Mexico. If a country's agriculture is destroyed, it will be half done.
Farmers in Mexico can't grow corn. In order to make a living, they have to help gangs seed marijuana, poppy and poppy.
Zhang Qianxiu had some illusions about whether he could be the top four grain merchants.
However, this idea just flashed by. Those four companies are all century old companies, and many countries have no way to deal with them. Some people have a dream to achieve this.
Su Yuwei saw that Zhang Qianxiu didn't speak, and asked suspiciously, "what are you thinking?"
Zhang Qianxiu did not hide: "do you know the four major grain merchants?"
Su Yuwei shook her head: "I don't know!"
Zhang Qianxiu explained: "the first word of the English names of the four companies is ABCD. These four companies are ADM, bangji, Cargill and ludolfo. They control 80% of the world's grain trade. There are many countries in the world that can't be self-sufficient in grain and have to import. From a certain point of view, These four companies control the food lifeblood of many countries. "
"They almost control the world's food pricing. Of course, there are some countries that they can't control. For example, we, the Soviet Union and the DPRK are not easy to control because of their national conditions. But the more open-minded countries really dare not offend them at will."
"I was just wondering if we could make it this big, but it's a bit of a myth."
Zhang Qianxiu is just a small rice shop. He hasn't opened a wholesale shop yet. If he wants to compare with the four major grain merchants who control 80% of the world's total, it's just a big difference.
Su Yuwei asked, "did you say that it is difficult to make chips, or is it difficult to become the fifth largest grain trader?"
It's really not easy to compare. Zhang Qianxiu thought about it seriously and said, "I think it's difficult to make chips from a technical point of view. From a monopoly point of view, it's even more difficult for grain dealers."
"Grain is not only a matter of buying and selling grain, but also a matter of controlling grain production to a certain extent, which means indirectly or directly controlling a wide range of land."
Su Yuwei said: "since the difficulty is equal, what are you afraid of? As you said before, if you don't succeed, there will be only two results. One is that the company goes bankrupt, but you have enough money to live on; Second, the debt has reached an astronomical number, and it may not be able to afford it for a lifetime. "
"Whether you want to try or not, you will get three results: one is success, and the other is the two situations mentioned just now after failure. Why not try?"
When Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei talked about this problem.
If he really succeeds and makes the best chip in the world, it goes without saying.
If he fails, if he manages so much money and leaves a little, he will have enough food and clothing. It's just like the pile of red sandalwood and yellow pear trees at the door. If those things are sold at the highest price, ordinary people can live a life without food and clothing.
Or Zhang Qianxiu is not willing to put all his wealth on the table, and he will be in debt even if he is defeated. This is not impossible.
To be an ordinary person without much debt or savings, Zhang Qianxiu felt that he would never be like this in his life.
Zhang Qianxiu thinks Su Yuwei's words are reasonable: "if I fail and owe a lot of money, will you be afraid?"
Su Yuwei said with a smile: "do you think I care about those things?"
Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei looked at each other and said with a smile, "if you have a wife like this, why do you want a husband?"
Su Yuwei glared at Zhang Qianxiu: "I didn't promise you anything."
Zhang Qianxiu said with a smile: "I take your answer as a promise, but you can rest assured that if I really get to the worst step, I will give you a lot of money first, and then divorce you."
"If I'm going to jail, you'll take care of our children; If I don't have to go to jail, you'll have enough money for us all our lives. "
"If I really get there, I'd rather die for a name than let go." Su Yuwei said.
Zhang Qianxiu looked at Su Yuwei with a little surprise: "don't you think the way I just said is the most rational?"
In Zhang Qianxiu's opinion, Su Yuwei is a very rational person. Even when she pursues him, her reason makes her not romantic in this process.
Su Yuwei said: "if it looks like a moon wheel, it will be bright and clean, and it will not be cold and ice."
Zhang Qianxiu said with a smile, "are you confessing? I'll take it! "
"Don't talk nonsense. I just want to tell you that if you really choose, there is nothing to be afraid of Su Yuwei added: "at least I think so now."
Zhang Qianxiu sighed again: "if you can get this wife, what do you want from your husband?"
Su Yuwei said with a smile: "then you can't ask for anything more!"
"By the way, we have to buy a pot. There are no pots and pans at home. How do you cook?"
"Let's go to haolaixuan and buy it on the way back." Zhang Qianxiu said.
"Whatever you want!"
