Chapter 1433 Inspecting the Chicken Farm

(YLQ in the Southern Dynasties is really dark, speechless, rest in peace~)

After Yang Cheng returned to the hotel, he ignored him at all and was flushed with anger by Abu, who looked like he had drunk two bottles of vodka, and went straight back to his room and closed the door tightly.

He called his financial management team to increase his shareholding in Delta Air Lines on a small scale. It is expected that the share price of Delta Air Lines will usher in a wave of rebound due to the release of the solution and the increase in holdings of large retail investors such as Abramovich. If you seize the opportunity, you should be able to make a small profit.

The next day, Yang Cheng and Burns appeared in the same car and went to a chicken farm on the outskirts of Lagos for inspection.

Along with them were officials sent by the Lagos government, as well as heads of charitable organizations in Nigeria. Of course, people from the Yangcheng Charity Foundation were also included, and people from the Melinda Gates Foundation were also involved.

On this day, the suburbs of Lagos were extremely lively. Hundreds of people visited a chicken farm at the same time, which is not common in the overcrowded Lagos.

After meeting with the local officials, Yang Cheng directly asked to start the tour without saying a word, which saved a lot of inconsequential activities, mainly Nigerian journalists, and the interview team sent by the New York Times, who were with the charitable foundation We chartered a flight to Nigeria together.

Susu also took the opportunity to follow, standing next to Yang Cheng, dressed youthfully, looking at the chicken farm covering an area of ​​100 mu, she was a little excited, and said in Yang Cheng's ear, "Nigeria is just like 20 Like country Z years ago, the market is huge and blank, and it is full of business opportunities."

Officials rarely encounter such big battles. Yang Cheng himself is a billionaire, and behind Ursula Burns is EssenMobil, the most powerful monster company on the planet. The important person appeared in Lagos at the same time, accompanied by himself, the officials were so excited that they didn't fall asleep all night.

Of course, his skin color can make him not afraid of dark circles.

"Mr. Yang, this farm was invested and built by a businessman from country Z, with a total investment of 35 million naira, covering an area of ​​100 mu, and currently raising 150,000 laying hens. This is only the first phase of the plan. There will be a larger-scale chicken and laying hen breeding plan."

Hearing this, Yang Cheng immediately asked the officials, "A businessman from country Z? Is the boss there? Can I meet him?"

The official nodded immediately, turned around and beckoned, letting the people from country Z who had been following behind come over, and said to Yang Cheng, "Mr. Yang, this is Boss He from country Z~"

Yang Cheng smiled and shook hands with this short, shy, honest man, and said in Mandarin, "Boss He, it's a pleasure to meet you. How did you come to Nigeria to invest? You even invested Rich?"

Boss He rubbed the back of his head, obviously he had never experienced such a big battle, he sneaked a few glances at the flickering camera, and replied, "I also happened to hear about the situation in Nigeria from a fellow worker working here. , slightly tempted, but still decided to make a decision after on-site inspection.

When I came here, I found that the demand for chicken in Nigeria is very strong, but it is generally raised by farmers free-range, and the scale cannot increase, which leads to the local market is always in a state of hunger and thirst.

So I made a decisive decision, borrowed a sum of money from relatives and friends, and sold my house in Shanwei. I came to Nigeria alone to build this chicken farm. At present, there are mainly 150,000 laying hens to supply local demand. "

While Boss He was narrating, the translator was also diligently doing his job.

Yang Cheng is more concerned about the food problem, "How did you solve the feed problem?"

As the topic deepened, Boss He became less nervous, and said truthfully, "I only realized that Nigeria cannot be self-sufficient in food and needs to import a large amount of food every year, so the demand for chicken feed is also very strong after the chicken farm was built.

So I have always considered doing chicken feed business, bringing domestic mature chicken feed processing technology here, and expanding the scale of local chicken farms.

But the investment cost is not small,

I still haven't made up my mind. At present, I still rely on the way of purchasing domestic feed to raise these chickens, which virtually increases the cost of raising chickens. "

Yang Cheng nodded thoughtfully, and the officer next to him said, "According to the statistics of the Nigerian Poultry Association, the annual output value of Nigeria's poultry industry is about 3 billion US dollars, including upstream and downstream industries such as feed processing, warehousing and transportation. There are 15 million employees, including 15 million people, with a per capita annual income of about 47,000 naira.

Of course, these 15 million people are not full-time poultry workers, 90% of them have other sources of income, and the poultry industry is more of a part-time job, or as an extra income for the family.

We lack an unconventional and professional market, which requires a large amount of capital investment. Fortunately, we are looking forward to young and promising entrepreneurs like Mr. Yang. "

Yang Cheng smiled and didn't answer, but Burns said, "Don't get me wrong, we didn't come here to invest in the chicken industry to get a big return, especially a monetary return. Our main purpose , or to help Africa improve the situation of lack of food and clothing as much as possible and get rid of poverty."

The official's thinking was very quick, "Of course, this is what we want."

Yang Cheng then asked, "Currently, what is the problem with Nigerian chicken farming or the entire poultry industry?"

Boss He couldn't hold back the words, "In the first few years when I first came to Nigeria to invest, although the poultry industry was affected by the environment such as backward infrastructure, business operations and high raw material import costs, it still achieved rapid development. Many Speculators like me, who saw a business opportunity, put huge amounts of hot money into the poultry industry.

As a result, in those years, Nigeria’s annual production of poultry eggs increased to 1 billion, and the number of young chickens increased to 4.2 billion, I mean the number of surviving chickens.

But problems followed, because poultry eggs are mainly produced in the southwestern region of Nissi, while the main consumption areas are in the northern region.

However, the north is precisely the most turbulent place in Nigeria. It has been attacked by violence and terrorism for years, the life of residents is unstable, and the economic level has been declining year after year, which directly leads to the decline of market demand. In other areas, because of various problems, the life of Nigerian residents Overall purchasing power has not risen. "

Yang Cheng immediately reacted and answered, "So there is a problem of overproduction?"

Boss He smiled wryly, "That's right, and this problem is getting worse."

Yang Cheng frowned, and according to normal business thinking, he proposed a solution, "Haven't you thought about directing the surplus fresh eggs to candy and beverage manufacturers?

In addition, the deep processing of the poultry and egg industry can also be carried out, such as the industrialized production of egg powder, which can effectively solve the problem of surplus fresh eggs.

Moreover, egg powder is easy to store, and there is a lot of room for adjustment of market supply and demand. The industrialized production of egg powder can accelerate the development of the entire industrial chain. "

Boss He scratched his head and didn't know how to answer, so the official had to explain embarrassingly, "Mr. Yang, at present, there is no production enterprise engaged in deep processing of poultry eggs in Nigeria.

Factors such as investment cost and investment environment are the biggest problems hindering the landing of deep processing enterprises. "

Yang Cheng's frowning never relaxed, "The investment cost is high? The investment environment is unstable?"

Burns also considered, "How about we directly build a complete industrial chain?"

The official immediately said, "This is the best way. There are actually many overseas businessmen who come to Nigeria to invest, and there are many powerful investors among them. However, everyone's investment enthusiasm and desire have always been concentrated in mining, energy and other profitable industries. Such bulk commodities can indeed generate benefits faster, but downstream demand is getting weaker and overcapacity is getting worse.

At this time, if Mr. Yang can take the lead in investing in the agricultural market, it will surely become a new investment vane. "

Yang Cheng nodded slowly, "Actually, when our foundation was making plans, we took into account the future of comprehensive farms, and built a comprehensive farm with chicken farms as the core. Using farmyard manure and groundwater should be able to guarantee the quality of farm vegetables. output."

After a pause, he said to the official, "Well, I originally planned to proceed step by step, first build the chicken farm, and then consider the comprehensive farm.

Now it seems that time does not allow us to plan slowly, and we can simply complete it in one step, and directly circle an open space in our target plot, at least 3,000 acres, and I want to leave room for future expansion. "

While the officials were secretly delighted, they couldn't help being a little embarrassed, "Is 3,000 mu of land too much?"

3,000 acres is roughly equivalent to 2 square kilometers, which is not small, especially in the case of sandy soil in most of Africa, and the land that can be used for agricultural development is very scarce.

So Yang Cheng's request suddenly got stuck on the officer's neck.

Yang Cheng doesn't care so much, if he can meet his requirements, he can invest. If he can't, let it go. Anyway, he has hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, and he is afraid that he can't find a piece of land in the huge Africa?

Burns sincerely wanted to do something for his compatriots. Seeing the official's embarrassment and silence, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and said sharply, "Is there any reason to hesitate? Mr. Yang brought enough funds this time to buy Lala If you invest in real estate or energy in the most prosperous land in the center of Gos, you will definitely make more profits, but why does he invest in agriculture? Isn’t it because he wants to help people’s livelihood in Africa?”

Yang Cheng added to the fire, "In the initial stage, we will build three farms no less than Boss He's chicken farm, a vegetable cultivation center, and a small power plant. At least 100 employees will be recruited."

The official took a few breaths in a row. When it came to this point, he really shouldn't hesitate any longer, otherwise he would be driving people away in disguise.

"I understand. When I go back, I will discuss with the relevant departments and try to find the most suitable piece of land for Mr. Yang to invest in."

Yang Cheng also showed no expression, and said lightly, "Thank you, this is also doing things for your own country. In the future work, my foundation employees will connect with you. I hope you can protect their safety. I don't want me to The lives of those sent to help you have been harmed."
