Resource Tycoon Reborn

In mid-to-late April in Hong Kong, the temperature is already very warm compared to Ukraine, and can even be called hot. Many citizens have already put on light summer clothes. ()

Alexander Peter Milevsky and Revli Rad Seleznov were sitting in the car, looking out the window at the beauties who had clearly changed into summer clothes, but they had no intention of admiring them. After getting

After receiving Artorov's answer, the two of them made an appointment to fly to Hong Kong together the next day. They also understood that this time, it was absolutely impossible for Fang Mingyuan to go to Kiev to negotiate with them on this matter. Since there was

If you want to ask for help from others, you must adopt the attitude of asking for help from others. If Fang Mingyuan can give them another chance, if they don't seize it, no one will be blamed.

"I heard that China's crushing industry has suffered miserably this time. Now many companies simply cannot afford to pay for goods and have to default, facing liability from exporters." Seleznov said softly.

"Well, they purchased millions of tons of soybeans when the international price of soybeans was at a high level. But now, the price of soybeans has dropped, causing them heavy losses." Milevsky responded softly. These things are actually two things.

Everyone knew it, but seeing that they were about to meet Fang Mingyuan, the two of them couldn't help but feel even more nervous. What if the negotiation failed? Will Fang Mingyuan make a big deal? The "benefits" prepared by the two of them

"Can Fang Mingyuan be satisfied...wait, wait, wait! That's why the two of them subconsciously calmed down their uneasy moods by talking.

"I heard that multinational grain giants like the Louis-Dreyfus Group have entered China to acquire and crush enterprises. It's a pity that this good opportunity has passed!" Seleznov said solemnly. If we say that the two of them now have sufficient financial resources and

With the support of the government, they can enter China to acquire companies. Do the two of them still have to worry about the sales of more than one million tons of Ukrainian soybeans? China imports soybeans, which are tens of millions of tons! No wonder Fang Mingyuan is like this

For the huge Chinese soybean import market, Ukraine’s soybean production is nothing!

"Alas..." Milevsky sighed deeply in sympathy. With Ukraine's current economic situation and the strength of the two companies, he wants to compete with multinational companies like Louis Daffy Group in the Chinese market.

It is completely impossible for grain giants to dance together. Moreover, the Ukrainian government will never support their overseas investments.

Fang Mingyuan was in his office in the headquarters building of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, and was reviewing documents from multiple companies without raising his head. Although he was only directly in charge of Kuok Shipping Group Company and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company,

Major decisions of subsidiaries such as Carrefour Group, Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company, Qinxi Steel Group Company, Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Co., Ltd., etc. are usually reported to him before formal implementation, and he makes the final decision.

In the past few days, in the international market, as the bird flu epidemic in China has basically passed, the breeding industry in many southern provinces in China has begun to rebuild, and the demand for soybean meal has increased. This has caused the price of soybeans to stabilize slightly, and the room for decline has been significantly reduced.

, there was also a very small rise, but unfortunately it was not maintained at all, and it returned to the downward channel after a short time. Many people were happy for nothing. However, so far, it has basically been

It is certain that the U.S. government will not issue a clear ban on the use of bone meal feed in the domestic cattle industry. This is bad news for the soybean meal industry, so no one can guarantee that soybean prices will have bottomed out in the future.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and put this information aside. Although in his previous life, he did not remember the complete process of this soybean crisis very clearly. But he did remember that it should be the big rise in 2003 and the second day of the soybean crisis.

It fell sharply in 2004 and rose sharply again in 2005. These multinational grain giants used their capital, information, and logistics advantages to manipulate China's crushing companies.

This has resulted in more than half of domestic crushing companies having to go bankrupt or be merged and reorganized by other companies due to operating difficulties. At the same time, multinational grain giants use their abundant funds to actively participate in domestic companies. These multinational grain giants also use their resources to purchase raw materials.

With its advantages, it controls the raw material procurement rights of these equity-holding and holding companies.

This will mean that Chinese companies not only have no say in the international soybean market, but also lose their say in the domestic soybean market. The import time, quantity, and price of raw materials are completely controlled by foreign capital. Not only the crushing industry has been controlled by the international

The risk of capital control has also caused huge harm to the domestic soybean industry.

Next, these foreign investors can use these equity holding companies to take advantage of the sharp rise and fall in soybean prices in the international market, thus taking advantage of "when the company is in a loss-making state, it can be exempted from paying income tax. At the same time, it does not need to pay value-added tax, and the loss part will be repaid."

"Can be offset against future profits" and other relevant tax regulations to avoid domestic taxes and fees, "losing money from the left pocket to the right pocket", and completing the overseas transfer of capital. However, domestic capital has suffered huge losses.

Therefore, judging from this point, in the second half of 2004, even if the price of soybeans no longer declines sharply, it should be adjusting at a low level. However... Fang Mingyuan is more inclined to believe that the price of soybeans will still remain low in the second half of the year.

There will be a big decline. In 2003 and the beginning of this year, the price of soybeans increased too much. Even if it has fallen by nearly 40% now, compared with the year before last and the beginning of last year, it is still considerable.

The increase! If the price is not suppressed and soybean farmers are not discouraged and reduce the planting area, then there will be no room for soybean prices to skyrocket in 2005.

However, there is some good news. Just two days ago, good news came from Beijing. With the approval of the State Council, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the State Administration of Taxation decided to reduce the agricultural tax rate in 2004 and increase the tax rate on some major grain producers.

The district has carried out a pilot reform of agricultural tax exemption. This not only makes Tongyi's comprehensive exemption from agricultural tax a legitimate behavior, but also allows the domestic soybean planting industry to gain a little more profit.

However, how to solve the dilemma of domestic soybean planting area shrinking in the face of low-price dumping of overseas soybeans is a big headache for Fang Mingyuan. The low price of soybeans in the United States is due to strong government subsidies.

The low price of soybeans is because they have enough land and efficient planting methods. The production methods of large farms can indeed significantly reduce planting costs. But these are not available in China!

According to the words of the domestic media, the abolition of agricultural taxes is a huge progress in Chinese society over thousands of years and has made a major effort to solve the problem of heavy burden on domestic farmers. In developed countries in Europe and the United States, the government provides subsidies to agricultural personnel.

It has become a common thing for a long time. Even our close neighbors South Korea and Japan have implemented the same measures a long time ago.

At the same time, the vast majority of the country's citizens are sensitive to food prices and have decided that raising the market price of agricultural products will cause social instability in the country. However, if the market price of agricultural products is not raised, the market price of chemical fertilizers, seeds, and diesel

Now that agricultural supplies are rising steadily, it is a fact that farmers’ enthusiasm for planting has been severely dampened. This, in turn, will give practical reasons for the price increase of agricultural products on the market! If there is no reform... this is simply

It's an endless cycle with no solution! Su Huandong sees this situation very clearly, but if he wants to change it, it's not easy!

Fang Mingyuan sighed and reached out to pick up another document from the table. After nearly five months of global screening, "I Am Legend" has basically come to an end. The global box office is the same as "Titanic" and "The End".

Compared with "The Returner 3", it is naturally inferior, but it also greatly exceeds the average box office of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group's blockbusters. It can be regarded as a successful movie. And it triggered the public concern about genetically modified technology.

Reflections on the possible harmfulness are still triggering heated discussions in the global media, especially in many countries in Europe - of course, Fang Mingyuan is secretly contributing to this. This is for Monsanto, the leading manufacturer of genetically modified seeds.

For him, it is naturally an extremely annoying thing.

But they have nothing to do with Fang Mingyuan and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, not only because they are in two completely different industries. Monsanto Company can certainly make all the difference in agriculture and biotechnology, but in the film industry, it is completely different.

No right to speak. It is also because of tradition. In American movies, the president, secretary of state, secretary of defense, congressmen, and judges can all make mistakes, and they may even become criminals. Billionaires can also be sinners against humanity.

"I Am Legend" only mentioned a few words about genetically modified technology in a semi-cryptic manner, expressing concerns about its future, and did not openly criticize Monsanto Company. Whatever they said out loud was to attract their own attention.

Firepower will only attract more severe and powerful criticism.

It’s just that in China, the discussion about genetically modified technology and genetically modified soybeans is not enthusiastic. Most orthodox media have an attitude of avoiding this topic, that is, they neither clearly support genetically modified technology nor clearly oppose genetically modified technology. On the Internet, however,

On the forum, the discussion on this matter was more intense. Although Fang Mingyuan was dissatisfied with their behavior, he could understand it. These domestic media also had no choice but to do so, and he could not be harsh on them.

It is very difficult to prevent overseas genetically modified soybeans from entering the country. (To be continued...)
