Section 368: Inspecting the Northwest
With one word from Li Cong, the entire Northwest began to open up, adding 200 million mu? Jenny really wants to kick Li Cong into the desert to work in person. There are already hundreds of thousands of workers here. If we add another 200 million mu, how many more workers will be added? This is Xinjiang, not the mainland. Solving the problem of workers’ accommodation is already very serious. Now thousands of Uyghur herdsmen are driving hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep into the canteen of the Ministry of Agriculture of the energy group. The food is not to worry about. We produce it ourselves, and the taste It's quite good. It is difficult for ordinary people to eat the grain produced in the ordinary land after eating our grain.
COFCO and the Energy Group jointly established a large-scale flour mill in Xinjiang. Throughout Xinjiang, more than a dozen super-large flour mills with an annual output of more than 500,000 tons of flour have been successively established. This area has basically become the largest flour mill in the world. production area, but compared with the annual output of 200 million tons, it is still too weak, so there is still a need for greater investment in this area, which is why Jenny opposed the immediate construction of 200 million mu. You must know that wheat and flour The sales price is completely different. The flour produced by the energy group is better than the flour produced by the world's first-class bread wheat. According to the agreement with the festival, it can only be purchased by the state at 1,200 yuan per ton, and the state changes hands It can be sold at 1,700 yuan per ton. Of course, the price may increase in the future, but if it is replaced with flour, it will become 3,200 yuan per ton. This is still the price of ordinary flour, 1.6 yuan per ton. Jin, if it is promoted on a large scale and sold to 3600 yuan, it will definitely not be a problem.
In terms of sales, the energy group basically did not intervene. COFCO directly purchased 40 million tons, the Egyptian National Grain Group purchased 20 million tons, and the energy group kept 20 million tons for itself. The rest were directly sold to Central Asia. Several countries have been shipped out, and tens of thousands of large vehicles are quickly shuttling between the wheat field and the railway station. Now there are not enough manpower. It is better to digest and summarize the various achievements before starting a new one. Li Cong said It's not good to be overjoyed.
The role of the super locomotive is really obvious now. Most of the grain in Egypt is directly transported from the northwest to Lianyungang for shipment to Egypt. The price is naturally not 60 cents a catty. Li Cong sold it to COFCO for 60 cents Well, COFCO sells it to the Egyptians for one yuan and two, so let them advertise. After the people of the world are addicted to eating, it is estimated that it will immediately increase to one yuan and five for you.
If there is a single round of harvest, it is impossible for Li Cong to come to the northwest. This 100 million tons of wheat sounds like a lot, but it is only 1,200 yuan per ton, which is only 120 billion yuan. The expenditure is only 60 billion yuan. Even if you count the 20 million tons left for making flour, it will not reach 200 billion yuan, but what you want is such a name. After COFCO signed the acquisition agreement with the energy group It is no longer necessary to purchase grain on a large scale across the country. A reserve of 40 million tons of grain is basically enough. Coupled with the number of large granaries in Northeast China, China's grain reserves are relatively safe in the world.
A large locomotive with a load of up to 16,000 tons drove towards Dongxi at a speed of half an hour. If Li Cong wanted to come by train, he might not be able to get on his shift. I drove to the grain base. I had only seen grain piles like hills in books before, but this time I saw what is really called grain hills. Grain hills of tens of thousands of tons are neatly arranged one by one. The heavy-duty trucks were loaded one after another and then rushed to the train loading point, but all of them were mechanized operations, and the speed was also very fast.
"How much food can we send out at this speed every day? It seems that it has just been shipped out and is full." Li Cong asked Janney like a big cadre inspecting, but he really didn't know the operation process of this loading and unloading base.
"Now it's not the highest level of delivery. At the peak, it could be 1.5 million tons per day, but now it's only 900,000 tons per day. They are all transported to such a distribution center by light trucks.
Then it is transported by heavy trucks to trains, and then transported to Central Asia and coastal areas. There are hundreds of such distribution bases in Xinjiang, and the drivers are all three drivers, which can be rotated 24 hours a day. Works intermittently. "Jianni patiently told Li Cong that it can be said that it has set many world bests here, and everyone working here is very proud.
"What's the matter with that high shelf over there." Li Cong said, pointing to a few high shelves in the distance.
"That is our latest loading and unloading tool. It is under experimentation. The upper part is an iron net that can drain the grain, and the lower part is in the form of a funnel. The light truck directly drives the car up and then dumps the grain. The heavy truck below is waiting below. The exit of the funnel, the staff is responsible for controlling the funnel to fill up and leave, which is several times faster than forklift loading and unloading, but we have not yet promoted it on a large scale.” So there is such a thing, Li Cong I was very interested and went to observe it for a while. This is simply an invention.
"I will promote this immediately after the verification is completed. How about the flour processing plant?" Li Cong asked casually. He seemed very excited about everything here, especially watching the cars being pulled from the desert. Come back with food.
"Currently, we and COFCO share 50% of the shares. We already have the capacity to process 5 million tons of wheat per year, and there are still 10 million tons under construction. The main reason is that we didn't take this into account in the original contract. COFCO will not give us too much share.” Gianni explained the difficulty, and now COFCO has already made concessions, after all, grain processing was a business for others, and he has already crossed the line.
"In the future, you can negotiate with COFCO Group. In terms of investment, we only need 50% of the shares to invest 55% of the capital. Don't be too rigid in doing business with the country. Take what you should suffer, and transfer the flour. How can it be compared with the 5% if it is sold.” Li Cong paid more than one billion yuan in one sentence, but what he said was true, the main purpose of this project was not to make profits, but to increase his own influence. question.
"Okay, President, the officials of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Agency have been waiting for you in the conference room for a long time, I wonder if you want to see them?" Dai Lai asked for instructions.
Li Cong shook his head. He knew why they came even if he didn’t see them. He must have persuaded himself to export grain, and he must have been shut down by the Chinese government. It's hard for me, so Li Cong simply didn't see you, and served you with delicious food and drink, but he just didn't mention your proposal on grain export. Maybe he can make himself a good name now, but this is tantamount to confronting the country. Well, how could the country agree to them when they didn't get enough political chips? I'd better be a good citizen honestly.
