Chapter 388: Gathering; Sugar Plot; Ping An's Action
Guo Yang raised his eyebrows slightly. He brought two people with him, so it must be some business matter.

"It's convenient. I just happened to build a rooftop farm restaurant in the capital. You can give me some advice."

"Haha, this is something new." Director Liu laughed heartily, "As soon as you mentioned it, I became interested."

"To be honest, this is my first time going there too."

After talking to the leader for a few words and hanging up, Guo Yang said to Yang Cheng: "Just you and I will go tonight, and I won't invite anyone else."

"Row."

Realizing that leaders were attending, Yang Cheng stopped working and said, "Then I'll go to the scene and keep an eye on it."

"I will go with you."

The rooftop farm restaurant is located in a commercial district in Beijing. The building where the farm is located is not tall, while the surrounding residential areas and office buildings are much taller.

The rooftop farm is built in the central open-air area on the top floor of the building.

Surrounding the farm is a beautifully decorated restaurant.

"The surrounding residential and office buildings can see the farm, which is not suitable for high-level leaders to dine or inspect."

Guo Yang and Yang Cheng walked around and commented: "But it has the potential to become an Internet celebrity restaurant."

“What is an Internet celebrity restaurant?”

"It's a highly popular restaurant that was created by leveraging the Internet." After a brief introduction, Guo Yang put forward an idea.

“Regarding the development and construction of rooftop farms, I think Weiguang can also make a series of videos and upload them to Huinong.com.

Many people are interested in this construction process from scratch, and it can also attract more people to join in the construction of rooftop farms.”

Yang Cheng's eyes lit up. Weiguang had never thought of making a profit when running a rooftop farm.

It is more of an urban pastoral lifestyle, improving the urban environment, alleviating the heat island effect, and doing some agricultural science popularization...

It's basically just for fun.

But it would definitely be better if it could attract traffic and improve the business environment.

If I can help the rooftop farm business develop, the sense of accomplishment from doing this will be even greater.

"Okay, then Weiguang is also going to launch a series of rooftop farms on Huinong.com."

Yang Cheng was quite excited, "Boss, do you think I should also create a personal account?"

"Sure, but what are you shooting?"

"Well, just shoot some videos of growing vegetables and flowers, which have a sense of life."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "I have an idea, but you'd better show some luxury watches and cars in the video, so that more people will watch it."

"You mean no one will watch my video when I look like this?"

"You said that yourself."

The two of them wandered around the rooftop farm and restaurant for a while. At about six o'clock, Guo Yang met Director Liu, who was wearing casual clothes, downstairs.

There were two people beside him, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a woman in ordinary clothes.

"Director Liu."

"Mr. Guo, sorry for the long wait. Come, let me introduce you."

Director Liu smiled, half turned around and said, "This is Director Fan from the Medical Experimental Center of the Huaxia Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences;
This is researcher Lin Keqing. Actually, Lin and Mr. Guo went to the same high school. "

"Hahaha, so she's still a junior."

Guo Yang looked at the two of them normally.

Director Fan has a chubby face and you can’t tell his age.

As for Lin Keqing, at first glance, she is inconspicuous, but if you look at her a little more, you will find that she is very attractive.

She was over 1.65 meters tall, wearing tight black trousers and a white T-shirt, and her hair was tied in a ponytail at the back of her head.

This junior sister who suddenly appeared at this moment still had a bit of confusion on her face. It seemed that she didn't know who she was going to meet before she came.

"Hello, are you Mr. Guo from Jiahe Group?"

Guo Yang smiled and nodded, "Hello."

Lin Keqing was even more surprised.

After a brief greeting, Guo Yang took his people upstairs.

When they arrived at the rooftop farm surrounded by restaurants, Director Liu said in surprise:
"It's rare to find such a leisurely place deep in this city!"

Director Fan smiled and said, "Now we have another place to take our kids for a walk."

"I've learned a lot today." Lin Keqing praised: "Such a unique rooftop farm restaurant will be popular."

Passing through the corridor of the rooftop farm, the three of them arrived at the restaurant, where Yang Cheng was notifying people to serve the dishes.

Guo Yang also arranged for the two to sit down and served them a cup of Hanhai sesame tea.

Director Liu said to Lin Keqing, "Xiao Lin, try it. Jiahe's red hemp tea is truly unique."

"I've heard of the fame of Hanhai Red Hemp Tea." Lin Keqing smiled gently, "Jiahe is well-known in China for its research on certain Chinese medicinal plants."

Guo Yang is not modest. Only those who drink sesame tea for a long time can experience its subtle and silent benefits.

Conditioning the body is a gradual process in itself.

After sipping tea for a while, the dishes came.

While eating delicious food and chatting leisurely, Director Liu revealed his cards after a while.

"Mr. Guo, this time, it's mainly the Medical Experimental Center of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We want to establish some cooperation with Jiahe in the research of traditional Chinese medicine."

Guo Yang put down his chopsticks calmly, feeling that something was wrong.

But if you think about it carefully, the Cistanche deserticola, Licorice, Quan Wang, and Xanthoceras sorbifolia energy forests in Shahai also have understory Chinese medicinal materials...

It seems to make sense.

Seeing that Guo Yang didn't say anything, Director Fan said, "The Experimental Center and the American Coca-Cola Company have also jointly established the 'China Coca-Cola Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Center'.

This summer, Jiahe's Cixiaobai has swept the beverage market. It is not only promoted as a natural whitening drink, but also a healthy drink.

Therefore, there is a lot of room for cooperation between our two companies.”

After hearing the names of Coca-Cola and Ji Xiaobai, Guo Yang came back to his senses, but he felt something was strange again.

After pondering for a moment, Guo Yang decided to agree to it first. There should be no harm in cooperating.

“It is an honor for Jiahe to cooperate with the Medical Experiment Center.”

Director Liu was drinking tea at the side, but his eyes were always on Guo Yang. When he heard his statement, he finally put down the teacup that had been to his mouth.

Director Fan continued, "Xiao Lin is in charge of the cooperative experimental center between the two parties. Who do you think should be the contact?"

Director Liu cleared his throat.

"Old Fan, don't worry about it. It's better to let Xiaolin communicate with them on his own than for you to talk nonsense here."

Director Fan wanted to say something, but Director Liu handed him a glass of wine and said, "Come on, have a drink. I haven't settled the account with you yet."

Director Liu stared at Director Fan, who dared not say anything more and could only drink.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables. Jiahe's ingredients have always been famous..."

Director Fan couldn't stop drinking.

Lin Keqing didn't drink, but ordered a bottle of Ji Xiaobai and clinked glasses with Guo Yang.

"Mr. Guo, who was your high school class teacher?"

"You're asking about my high school class teacher. And he calls me Mr. Guo?"

"Brother, Brother Guo." Lin Keqing immediately changed the subject, "Maybe we were brothers and sisters in the same school when we were in high school."

"I can't quite remember the name of my homeroom teacher." Guo Yang tried his best to recall his previous life. "My homeroom teacher taught mathematics. I think his last name was Zhang."

"Is it Zhang Bo?" Lin Keqing said, "He teaches the experimental class all year round. He is not tall and likes to ride a motorcycle without a rearview mirror."

"Huh?" Guo Yang said in surprise, "Is it such a coincidence?"

"Is it true?"

Guo Yang nodded. This was indeed a coincidence. They were from the same high school, although a few grades apart, but they happened to have the same class teacher.

"This this……"

Lin Keqing was also a little incoherent. She was a little nervous when she came here. After all, she had just graduated and was admitted to the Medical Experimental Center.

Soon the leader found her and said that he wanted to give her a joint research task.

Only after I arrived did I realize that he looked familiar.

The boss of Jiahe!
Although she is from Wuwei, she has also worked as a student volunteer in Shawoli, carrying wheat straw, making straw grids, and planting Haloxylon ammodendron trees. Is there anything she hasn't done?

I have been studying abroad these years, but I have always been paying attention to the development of my hometown.

Everyone knows about the great deeds of agriculture and animal husbandry in controlling desertification in the sand sea. She even paid attention to the Minqin Volunteer Association, but this small forum has now declined.

But the trend has changed.

Due to the success of the sand control industry driven by the sea of ​​sand, the local situation is getting better and better, and the volunteer forum is full of vitality.

Because things are getting better, there are more and more news reports, and those who are far away from home have more ways to get information and don't miss their hometown so much.

It can be said that the decline of the volunteer forum is due to the increasing number of sand control enterprises and individuals like Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.

Now, the bosses of Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Jiahe are right in front of Lin Keqing.

We even had the same class teacher.

Lin Keqing was happy, excited, and a little nervous, all kinds of emotions mixed together.

Her strange behavior also attracted Director Fan's attention. "What's wrong, Xiaolin?"

Guo Yang smiled and took over the conversation: "It's okay, Xiaolin High School and I have the same homeroom teacher."

"That's a coincidence." Director Liu said, "When you have time, you two can make an appointment to go back to school together.

Mr. Guo probably hasn’t been back to school yet. This won’t be good for your reputation back home.”

At first glance, Guo Yang felt that this made sense and nodded.

"It just so happens that the area around Wuwei is also an important energy forest and Chinese herbal medicine base of Jiahe. By the way, I will take Xiaolin to see the raw materials."

"It's better to hurry up than to delay. Your article on energy forests in the Agricultural Economics has caused quite a stir."

Director Liu groaned and said, "But it will be published soon."

Guo Yang was surprised, thought for a moment, and said, "I will stay in Beijing for a few more days, and may have to go to Magic City and Pengcheng. It will take at least half a month to return to Minqin."

Director Liu was silent, almost autistic, and after a long while he said, "You fight like an ascetic."

"I'm used to it." Guo Yang was told that, but he didn't care. "If I stop, I'll feel uncomfortable all over."

Director Liu: “…”

"Haha." Director Fan laughed and said, "It's understandable that such a large group is busy. Waiting for half a month is just right. Xiaolin should familiarize himself with the materials first."

After a while, Lin Keqing also calmed down and nodded, "Well, I'll go to the joint research center first. Mr. Guo, give me your contact information."

"Okay, you can contact me anytime if you have any questions." After saying that, Guo Yang gave Lin Keqing his and Yu Qin's contact information, and the latter also took out a flip phone to write it down.

"I'll call you when I'm done, and we can go back to school together."

Perhaps it was the memories of his previous life that triggered Guo Yang's impression of Zhang Bo, and he had very complicated emotions.

The previous life was a specially recruited poor student who entered a high school in the city. He encountered various setbacks and almost collapsed.

Zhang Bo gave him a lot of help, but he still performed poorly in the college entrance examination.

This caused the predecessor to be somewhat evasive.

All these years, I never thought about going back to take a look.

After becoming famous, Guo Yang received many invitations from schools, but Zhang Bo never showed up.

Guo Yang didn't seem to have any grudges against taking this opportunity to go back with Lin Keqing.

After the meal, Guo Yang and Lin Keqing became more familiar with each other.

The main reason was that Director Liu had been drinking and chatting with Director Fan, so it was not appropriate for others to interrupt too much.

Compared with Yang Cheng, the middle-aged subordinate, Guo Yang was more willing to chat with the young and energetic "junior sister".

Moreover, after looking for a long time, every part of Lin Keqing's facial features is just right, but they are concealed by her simple dress.

If she puts on makeup and dresses up seriously, Guo Yang believes that she will not be worse than most female stars.

The two also have a lot of common topics, whether it is their experiences on campus or about plants and Chinese herbal medicine, they can chat enthusiastically.

When talking about funny things, I laughed out loud from time to time.

Only Yang Cheng was sitting in the corner, watching with concern and eating his food without distraction, as if nothing had happened.

But if he could do it again, he would never propose a rooftop farm restaurant today.

at night.

Director Liu made a phone call and said, "Leader, we have completed everything you asked us to do. I don't know if that kid can come to his senses."

"Keep an eye on it and pay more attention."

Director Liu smiled bitterly in his heart, what was going on? But he said, "What if that kid finds out?"

"With his style, I'll guess it sooner or later, but I'm not afraid of his investigation. Although that person has retired for many years, his granddaughter is not wronging him."

Director Liu recalled the happy conversation between the two people at the dinner table tonight and said with a smile:

"The man is strong and the woman is weak. Maybe the boy will be secretly happy."

...

Although Guo Yang realized that something was wrong, he didn't take it seriously for the time being.

Mainly because I’m too busy.

It took another two or three days for Guo Yang to take Huinong and Weiguang together to sort out the things that needed to be done in the near future.

First, the separation of B2C and C2C businesses, and the name of the new platform was also decided: Weilai Tianjian;

Second, the construction of agricultural ecological content such as articles and videos on the main site of Huinong.com, support UP hosts, and continue to pay them;

3. Development of microblogs;
Fourth, if Weilai Tianjian is launched earlier, it can also gather the popularity of Double Eleven in advance;

5. Mobile APP development for Huinong.com, Weilai Tianjian, and Weibo;
Sixth, the M&A process of the Jahwa project will be followed up by Weiguang Company;
7. Preparation of large-scale aerial photography projects...

There are really a lot of things to do, and it might be better if Tencent was involved, but now that it has come to this, there is no need to waste the effort.

Except for the main site Huinong.com, other Internet projects are of the type that we try out first before we see if they are feasible.

If you catch one, you'll make a profit.

In the past two or three days, Guo Yang also took the time to look at the investment situation of his various funds.

Several of these funds are registered in tax havens in Western Europe, including Luxembourg, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, and Bermuda.

In addition to tax avoidance, it is also possible to report less and disclose a lot of fund information.

Unless the state makes great efforts to investigate the specific circumstances of some overseas funds, it will be impossible to find out who the actual controllers behind them are.

But Weiguang’s investment focus remains in China.

Angel, VC, PE, secondary market...Weiguang Investment covers a wide range of fields and has invested in many projects.

Some have failed, but others have reaped extremely rich rewards.

Although there are many chaos in the domestic A-share market, it is the main place for domestic companies to go public.

If you stick to your original intention and make long-term value investments, you can also get rich returns.

After looking at various potential investment projects, Guo Yang selected some projects that impressed him and asked everyone below to pay attention to them.

When money reaches a certain level, it’s basically just a number.

But Guo Yang has higher spiritual pursuits, which is to help various domestic industries take off and be an entrepreneur rather than a businessman.

Someone once commented that Hong Kong's richest man, Mr. Li, is a businessman through and through.

Guo Yang is a traditional Chinese who believes in leaving a voice behind and a name behind.

The reason why he is still trying so hard to make money is because he has greater pursuits.

Projects such as the Dunhuang Wetland, Desert Park, and even the Hongqi River are still waiting for transfusions.

If one day, various industries no longer rely on external transfusions, then he will not make money as frantically as he does now.

I can’t stop now.

After everything was done, Guo Yang rushed to Pengcheng again.

On the way to the airport, Qi Ziwen sent two messages in succession.

First of all, Guoliang's Womai.com is already in internal testing. At the same time, after "Yuehuo", it has launched the "Tunhe" brand.

The tomato juice from the 'Tunhe' brand caught Guo Yang's attention because he had consumed Tunhe canned tomatoes in his previous life.

This is a brand with great potential.

But the current Tunhe canned tomatoes are still the same as those of the Delong Group, and the products launched this time are also juice drinks.

"The process of building Guoliang's terminal brand is really tortuous."

Guo Yang murmured, "If Tunhe had put more effort into tomatoes at this time, it's hard to say what Tunhe shares would be renamed into."

Previously, during an interview on agricultural economics, Guo Yang, Liu Deshu and Ning Gaoning all talked about overseas mergers and acquisitions.

Sinochem is busy acquiring Australia's Xinnong and an Israeli company to lay out the upstream and downstream pesticide industry chain.

Guoliang used the Tunhe brand to develop its sugar business in Australia and Brazil, but was jointly attacked by Bunge and Louis Dreyfus.

At the same time, Bright Dairy Group, a long-established state-owned sugar company in China, was also planning to acquire another sugar company in Australia, but was targeted by Wilmar International.

The rapid economic development has led to a continuous increase in domestic demand for bulk commodities such as grain, cotton, oil, and sugar.

Thanks to Jiahe’s contribution in seed industry and arable land, the domestic grain and oil situation has been greatly alleviated.

But cotton and sugar are not yet resolved.

Especially for white sugar, which is a strategic material, the domestic production conditions are naturally insufficient and we have to rely on imports, while at the same time maintaining a certain level of domestic production.

This is a great test of the wisdom of policy.

However, it is also because of the policy that the state-owned enterprise Guangming and Guoliang encountered discrimination from foreign policies in overseas mergers and acquisitions.

It also has to deal with the squeeze from the four major grain traders such as Bunge, which have long been established in the upstream of agriculture.

It's very difficult.

But Guo Yang could infer that at least Guoliang was successful.

Because the current Guoliang Tunhe will be renamed Guoliang Sugar Industry in two years. Relying on the sugar import quota monopolized by state-owned enterprises, it will develop rapidly.

The import tariff for sugar within the quota is 15%, while the tariff outside the quota is over 50%.

Jiahe certainly cannot compete with state-owned enterprises such as Guoliang and Guangming in terms of quotas, so it has never thought of opening up a sugar industry battlefield overseas.

Domestic sugar industry, Guo Yang is considering leaning towards this direction next time he breeds.

Having said that, Guo Yang was wondering whether he should remind Guoliang to put more effort into the development of Tunhe tomatoes.

Tianhe's sales of processed tomato seeds have not improved much. Guo Yang believes that this has a lot to do with the current inaction of leading companies such as Tunhe.

Even though Guoliang Tunhe was renamed Guoliang Sugar Industry in the future, investors' expectations for Guotang's stock price have always been on the tomato business.

Because Tunhe tomatoes have really gone global.

After thinking for a while, Guo Yang edited two messages.

A reply to Qi Ziwen, asking him to collect and pay attention to the situation of the domestic sugar industry.

One was sent to Qu Sheng, inviting the 'Tunhe Tomato' brand to participate in the Weilai Tianjian Double Eleven online promotion.

Qu Sheng was stunned when he received the news.

NIO’s promotional activities in the fields are still okay.

But Guoliang just launched the WoMai.com, and then the "Tunhe Tomatoes" were sold and promoted on Huinong.com???

This is noisy!

...

Guo Yang didn't know what Qu Sheng was thinking, but was reading the second message sent by Qi Ziwen.

About peace and home.

Ping An publicly expressed its interest in Jahwa Group when facing media interviews.

Some media revealed that Ping An offered a sky-high price of 70 billion yuan to Jahwa Group!
There are even rumors that the amount is 100 billion yuan!
Ge Wenyou also revealed the latest developments in the media, saying that Jahwa has no plans to sell within three months.

The underlying meaning is that in three months at most, the sale of Jahwa could be put on the agenda.

This contrasted with Ping An's statement and sparked a lot of heated discussion.

"Recently, there was news that Ping An Group may acquire Jahwa Group as a whole at a high premium of 70 billion to 100 billion.

Among them, the high-quality asset of Jahwa Group is Shanghai Jahwa, a listed company known as the "No. 1 Brand in China's Daily Chemical Industry".

In fact, since last September, when Shanghai Modu City explicitly proposed to "promote the adjustment and withdrawal of state-owned assets in general competitive fields", Jahwa Group has received numerous suitors.

But none of them were as shocking as the one brought by Ping An Group this time.

The high premium, coupled with strong capital backing, has put Ping An Group at the forefront of all suitors.

As the number one brand of daily chemical products in China, too many expectations are placed on Jahwa, and the domestic daily chemical industry also urgently needs giant-level enterprises.

Chen Gang, deputy general manager of the direct investment department of Ping An Trust, said that after Ping An acquires Jahwa, it will invest 3 billion yuan in 5 to 70 years to turn Shanghai Jahwa into a high-end fashion brand;
And do not interfere with the daily operations of management..."

The media revealed a lot of information, and there were specific speculations about what promises Ping An had made.

Regardless of whether the news is true or false, it is possible that Ping An has increased its stakes again. In any case, the attention has been maximized.

In addition to Guo Yang, who knows the future, the society is generally optimistic about the combination of Ping An and Jahwa.

Before the plane took off, Guo Yang said to himself, "Old man Ge, you have to resist the temptation!"
