Chapter 478 Don’t be blinded by temporary interests

But our current situation is that even without external support, we have enough wheat to supply Xiangyang Food Factory.

And it hasn’t changed yet.

Foreign capital cannot come in and cannot control the domestic market.

Even if they wanted to do something, they would be powerless against domestic companies.

For example, if you want to suppress domestic wheat, capital cannot come in because the land is state-owned, and you cannot acquire domestic land from abroad.

I speculated with Qin Hengzhi several times.

Lu Qiaoge thought they would still start with wheat.

Lu Qiaoge spoke slowly.

"As we all know, instant noodles production is inseparable from wheat flour."

"Instant noodles require high-gluten flour, but most of the wheat we use now is low-gluten. Some of the raw materials must be imported."

"Foreign capital is vast beyond our imagination. If they truly united, they could control over 80% of the world's wheat flour."

Some people widened their eyes in shock.

"How is that possible? They have so much money?"

Lu Qiaoge smiled.

Lu Qiaoge originally wanted to talk about the story of Fan Zhongyan or even Fan Li, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. The topic of the year of great disaster was still very sensitive even in the 1970s.

Lu Qiaoge said, "Let me imagine a scenario: right here and right now, businessmen from three competing RHM countries are sitting together, discussing how to suppress Xiangyang instant noodles. Ideally, they'd want to make the Xiangyang brand disappear from the market, which, in their words, means bankruptcy."

Everyone's expression changed.

Some people became very angry, and he whispered: "It's really ****ing that he's still trying to kill me."

"That's just how they are. They suppress and block things at the slightest provocation."

"Yes, they are just bandits and bullies. They are afraid that we will become stronger."

"Shh, listen to Director Lu continue."

Lu Qiaoge did not hear the conversation between the businessmen, but this was her analysis.

"But how can we force Xiangyang Food Factory to go bankrupt? They will definitely start by devaluing our food, but they can't do that because our instant noodles fully meet international standards."

"If they follow their thinking and cannot suppress their opponent, they will find a way to acquire it. But now they don't have the ability to do so. Our country does not allow it."

Everyone smiled.

That's right. No matter how much you offer, we won't sell it to you.

Aren’t we so strict about food standards and safety to prevent our competitors from slandering us?

Many people think so.

Lu Qiaoge continued.

"If none of the above can be implemented, they will block us from the raw materials."

"But our country can already supply the wheat we need now. Even if we don't import, it's completely fine."

"In that case, aren't they at their wit's end?"

"But our products are gaining more and more popularity and sales are increasing. We won't replace their products, but we are definitely taking up more market share."

"The current situation is not that everyone makes money together, but that if we make more money, they will make less money relatively. Even if our products get better and better, if they can't compete, they will be the ones to go bankrupt and disappear."

"So the only methods they can come up with are conspiracies and schemes, such as buying up large quantities of wheat at high prices, and even exchanging wheat for rare materials or other technical materials."

"Many times, these people are very patient. They might spend a year or two planning something that might not be completed in a month or two."

"Simply put, if we weren't prepared, and learned that wheat prices were double, triple, or even ten times higher than before, would we increase our exports? Even if we learned that wheat could be exchanged for precious resources or technological data, would we use it? They could use this method to concentrate 90% of the world's wheat in their own hands..."

Lu Qiaoge smiled.

"I'm just making up my own assumptions. Maybe they have other methods. But this is all I can come up with right now. The reason we held this symposium today is mainly to get everyone to brainstorm and see how we can prepare if we really encounter this situation."

Sometimes an economic war is not over in a few months, it may last for several years.

The opponent may have planned the final blow in advance and hit the target.

Lu Qiaoge analyzed that the other party wanted to suppress Xiangyang by definitely using the method of controlling wheat flour.

So reminding everyone in advance is to make everyone pay attention to it.

Don't be blinded by temporary interests.

Because if this really happened, she alone would not be able to stop it.

So state your assumptions and warnings upfront.

It has to be said that everyone took Lu Qiage’s idea to heart.

"Our products mainly rely on wheat flour. If we don't have wheat flour, we won't be able to maintain such a large output."

“But we plant it every year.”

"Gada is also a major producer of wheat flour, but the question is, can we supply all of it to Xiangyang Food Factory?"

Everyone was talking about it.

Director Hao nodded seriously.

"Okay, after the meeting, I'll report to my superiors on what we discussed today."

——

The leader above received a call from Director Hao and promised Director Hao that he would pay attention to the information in this regard.

Director Hao called Lu Qiaoge and told her not to worry, as there was good news: high-yield hybrid rice had been fully promoted and would be planted on a large scale in the north.

Director Hao's voice was excited.

"Qiao Ge, we don't have to worry so much this time. They told us to set up a special department to oversee the allocation of imported raw materials. Just go ahead and do it, don't worry. If you need anything, you can call Director Lu directly. Write it down, this is his office number..."

Lu Qiaoge raised his eyebrows.

I didn't expect it to be so smooth.

She wrote down the phone number, expressed her determination to Director Hao, and then hung up the phone.

Lu Qiage knew that the higher-ups took it seriously, but he didn't expect it to be taken so seriously.

We now have seven regular customers, among which Zhen Xi and Chu He are the largest customers.

Zhen Xi is not the heir of Zhen Group now. When it was announced, the whole Hong Kong city was shocked.

Some people also think it is really gratifying.

According to the rules since ancient times, the family property should be given to the eldest son born to the original wife.

Even if they are divorced, he is still the legitimate son.

Everyone thought that the next successor would be announced, but unexpectedly, Chairman Zhen did not take any action.

However, Zhen Xi set up a trading company.

It's not a small fight.

Zhen Xi was also established with huge investment and is currently ranked third among the trading group companies in Gangcheng.

Even Chairman Zhen’s trading company ranked behind him.

Eighty percent of his business comes from the mainland market.

I wish all the babies a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and a happy reunion with their families!

Please forgive me for any inappropriate parts in my writing!
