Chapter 1561 Capital Bleeding

"Is my elder sister here?"

When he got home and saw Zhou Ya and Chang Xi sorting out some pickled ham and bacon, Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking.

"She didn't come. I went back to my hometown two days ago. I brought a lot of these things and distributed some to my relatives there. I also asked the courier to send some to us."

"My brother-in-law said that his farm is going to be expanded. How is it going now?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking.

Men rarely call each other to keep in touch. Basically, if they are close, they will directly make an appointment to barbecue or go to KTV to play together.

Women are different, especially now that we have smartphones that can video chat. Many times, Zhou Ya and her elder sister chatted on video while doing housework.

So Zhou Ya, the sister-in-law, knows much more about the situation on her elder sister's side than Yang Dongxu, the brother.

"Not doing it again." Zhou Ya said.

"What's wrong? The policy can't be approved, or is there a problem with the funds?"

"There is no problem with the policy or the funds, but there is a problem with the wasteland and forests over there. The wasteland that no one wanted originally has made money in recent years with my brother-in-law's breeding.

Not to mention that the land has doubled and increased in value, there are also many people who originally signed the contract, who have been making trouble in recent years. They asked my eldest sister's family to return the land to them. My eldest sister has cried several times because of this matter."

"Didn't my brother-in-law think of a solution?" Hearing that his eldest sister was crying, Yang Dongxu frowned completely.

Don't think that farmers are simple, just like there are good people and bad people in this world. Some rural people are indeed simple, and some are mean.

For example, those who are making trouble for land now are obviously jealous of my eldest sister's family's money in recent years and want to take the land back to do it themselves.

Or they may make a fuss to let my brother-in-law's family raise the rent of the land for them.

Now you want to raise the land price when you see that they are making money, but what if they fail and lose money? Can you refuse the money for the land rent?

At first, you chose a guaranteed rent, but in the end, you just wanted to get a share of the profits. Where can you get so many good things in the world?

"Why didn't you think of a way to call the police and detain a few people who led the trouble? Later, the city leaders went to inspect again, and the matter was settled. Although there are still some gossips now, basically no one is looking for trouble."

"That's good." Yang Dongxu nodded.

As long as the eldest sister doesn't suffer, it's fine. He was actually too concerned just now. With the current status of my brother-in-law's family as a local breeding household, and even on CCTV's agricultural wealth news, it is impossible for him to suffer at the hands of such a cunning person.

After all, although my brother-in-law doesn't like to make connections, his status is there. In addition, he has been engaged in breeding for so many years, and the county leaders and city leaders know a few of them, so naturally he can't suffer.

As for the fact that the eldest sister cried several times.

Hongying has been soft-hearted since she was a child, and she is easy to cry when she encounters something unpleasant. So since Zhou Ya didn't say that there was something wrong, basically nothing serious happened.

"By the way, Wu Zhou couldn't get through to you when you were abroad, so he called me."

"What's up?"

"It's said that the patent application for functional drinks and herbal tea has been approved. I want to ask how you choose, whether to develop it yourself or sell the formula to others."

Zhou Yaheli and Changxi hung the smoked meat on the balcony behind the villa. These meats don't need to be put in the refrigerator. They can be kept for a long time in a cool and ventilated place without spoiling.

"I'll ask Mr. Zong if he wants it. If he wants it, we'll cooperate with him. If he doesn't want it, we'll see if we can do it ourselves."

Functional drinks are by-products of some drugs. When some researchers think divergently, they combine some tonic soups with the current scientific extraction basis to make some health-preserving medicines.

It's too troublesome to go through medical approval for such products. It's much easier to go through functional drink approval, and the speed of patent application is also fast.

Herbal tea is a combination of some flower tea formulas in some areas that like to drink flower tea. Several old Chinese medicine practitioners have conducted in-depth research and synthesis.

It is certain that these two products can make money, but it is obviously not worthwhile to set up a beverage factory for these two products alone.

So finding a partner is the best choice. They provide the formula. The beverage factory will produce and sell it. A reasonable division of labor will save everyone trouble.

"Then you have to hurry up. Wu Zhou said that he did a simple market survey and found that the market for functional drinks and herbal tea is very hot. If we don't speed up the process here, the formula patent in our hands will be worthless."

"We have to hurry up." Yang Dongxu nodded.

The beverage market can be said to be a battle of heroes.

Not to mention that Red Bull is the only one in the functional beverage market, other beverages can be said to be a hundred schools of thought. Today you make an iced green tea, and tomorrow I will make an iced black tea.

You say that your Wanglaoji is authentic, and I say that my Jiaduobao is the exclusive secret recipe. Then the two of them fought, and before they could decide the winner, they directly killed Lao San and Qi Zheng.

Then there are this water, that water, anyway, they are all spending money to grab the market, the advertising is awesome, there are at least six ads on TV, all of which are selling all kinds of water, all kinds of juice, all kinds of milk tea, and all kinds of tea, the variety is dazzling.

"It seems that the dispute between Boss Zong and the parent company has not been settled yet." Zhou Ya said.

After receiving Wu Zhou's call, she obviously learned about the domestic beverage market. She focused on understanding Boss Zong, who had a good relationship with her husband Yang Dongxu.

Because she also felt that it would be more convenient to find a large beverage company to cooperate with these formulas in her hands instead of going to the trouble of opening a beverage factory, setting up a production line, and finding workers.

"The results are almost out." Yang Dongxu said.

"Who do you think will win?"

"There is no winner or loser, only each has its own needs." Yang Dongxu said.

The dispute between Boss Zong and Wahaha's overseas headquarters is not a one-day or two-day dispute, but has lasted for many years. It's just that it has become more and more intense in recent years.

Because Wahaha's domestic market share is getting bigger and bigger, with billions of revenue a year, Wahaha headquarters is jealous of such a big cake.

But how could Boss Zong watch the big cake he worked so hard to make, and a large piece of it was taken away by others, so both sides have been insisting.

However, after so long, the results are almost out. After all, it is not good for both parties to continue to fight like this.

At the same time, the competition in the beverage market is so fierce now, and Boss Zong can't spend all his energy dealing with those vampires at the headquarters.

So it won't be long before a result comes out. And the most likely result is that Wahaha headquarters will get some monetary compensation. Boss Zong will get more autonomy in the operation of the company.

"Not only in the beverage sector, but also in food and supermarkets, foreign capital seems to be unusually active in the past two years." Zhou Ya said.

Forget about the capital on the stage such as Uni-President and Kangshoufu, which are still their own businessmen. But major foreign food companies have been increasing their acquisitions of domestic food brands in recent years, and this has to be let go.

In terms of supermarkets, whether it is Carrefour or Wal-Mart, they are all aggressive.

"In terms of food, foreign capital has indeed been too active in recent years." Yang Dongxu nodded.

In recent years, the speed at which foreign capital has acquired food brands in China can be said to be multi-faceted, in addition to acquiring various beverages, instant noodles, ham sausages and other daily consumption brands.

In agricultural products, such as various synthetic oils and cooking oils, the other party has also hit hard. At present, almost 70% of various beverage brands, food brands, etc. in China have records of foreign investment.

"It's an old routine. When you find a market that can be invested in, you directly use the capital advantage to acquire local companies. Not only in food, other products, such as shampoo. Shower gel, etc. are all this routine.

Produced locally, sold locally, earning money from local consumers, and making local consumers think that this is a domestic brand. Low-key and unobtrusive use of holdings to transfer profits."

"Betsy also said that several foreign capitals contacted him before to acquire Dabao, but he did not agree. During this period, it seems that several brands have begun to suppress Dabao secretly." Zhou Ya said.

"If you can't acquire it, suppress you, and then either bankrupt you or make you out of succession before acquiring you. All capitals are very good at this.

Someone wanted to acquire YY before, and it was only during this period that YY's overseas operating rights were packaged and taken over by Google, and those foreign capitals were considered to be quiet."

"So you are going to invest in basic agriculture?"

"Yes." Yang Dongxu nodded.

He wanted to acquire more land not only to plant more herbs, but also to grow food.

And not only to grow food, he has also been trying to acquire shares of some large agricultural product companies in the world in the past two years. Especially companies that hold the power to import and export basic agricultural food.

At the same time, he does not intend to do this alone, but also plans to bring in a few like-minded partners.

And before that, he had informed the higher-ups, who also gave him good policy support for his plan.

For example, benefits such as import and export tax exemptions can benefit him a lot in one year.

There are too many Chinese people, and the output of Chinese land alone is far from enough to eat. If you want to eat more and better agricultural products, importing food is a must.

And it is equivalent to buying food from other people. If you have a large grain grower or a large international grain trader, it will undoubtedly make the basic food guarantee more stable.

"Develop in the direction of deep processing?"

After saying this, Zhou Ya walked to the sink next to her to wash her hands. She sorted out so many hams and bacon, and she was a little greasy.

"I don't have such plans. I only deal with grain trading. I ship high-quality grain from abroad back to China, and leave the deep processing to domestic enterprises. It's too much trouble to deal with both farms and deep processing of agricultural products." Yang Dongxu shook his head.

He casually handed the towel next to him to Zhou Ya.
