Chapter 501 The Lucky One Who Owns Jiahua
California is the producing area of ​​high-end cotton in the United States. The cotton produced here is world-renowned, and the high price has brought huge profits to farmers all year round.

But at this moment, the large farmer Derek Carter squatted in the farmland and crushed a cotton boll, "Shit!"

"If such good cotton is not harvested in time, it will rot in the fields!"

Cotton broker Leonard leaned against a yellow pickup truck, lit a cigarette, and looked at the endless cotton fields.

"There is no other way. The competition in the cotton market is too fierce. There are too many competitors in both the export and domestic markets."

Denier Carter stood up, took the cigarette from Leonard, and said, "Hasn't the cotton from Uzbekistan been settled?"

Leonard blew out a smoke ring and said, "Now we have competition from India and Chinese cotton."

"Especially the long-staple cotton from Xinjiang Province in China, which has better and better product quality, is very popular among clothing companies in the high-end market."

"We can't go on like this! Federal subsidies can't make up for our losses!"

Denil was like an angry lion. He finally overcame the crisis brought by weeds and red fire ants, and agricultural production capacity has just improved.

At the same time, by uniting with Western forces, it eliminated the competition from Central Asian cotton in one fell swoop.

However, a new crisis has emerged!

Denier said: "Cotton farmers must unite and protest to the federal government to restrict Western countries' imports of Xinjiang cotton and Indian cotton!"

Leonard smiled and said, "That would be great. I'm happy to do it."

The same scene is happening in the central and southern United States.

Within a few days, a large number of American cotton farmers, brokers and associations worked hard for this, industry meetings were held, and the media also released a large number of related reports.

“Imported cotton is impacting the federal cotton market, and a large number of cotton farms are on the verge of bankruptcy!”

“Why is the production cost of Huaxia Xinjiang cotton so low? Forced labor is suspected!”

"India's cotton production has increased significantly, and the global cotton market is seriously overstocked!"

Fresno is the agricultural center of California.

The headquarters of Yreka Seed is located in Fresno. After a competition, Yreka Seed was acquired by Tianhe.

At the signing ceremony, Qu Yang signed his name quickly, then stood up and shook hands with Bruce.

“Bruce, it’s been great working with you, it’s going to be a great trip.”

Bruce smiled and said, "We are also optimistic about the cooperation with Tianhe, but we also have a doubt."

Qu Yang asked: "What doubts?"

Bruce took out two freshly-published newspapers. The words "Xinjiang cotton", "forced labor" and so on were combined together in the newspapers, which made Qu Yang frown.

Bruce said: "Tianhe's seed production base is also in northwest China. Is it because of forced labor that Tianhe's seeds are so competitive?"

Qu Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "You should know that Tianhe did not rely on price wars to gain a foothold in the seed industry! You shouldn't say that!"

"Hey, don't be angry." Bruce smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually."

The signing ceremony was a good one, but because of a small incident, Qu Yang's mood was ruined.

After completing the signing, Qu Yang looked for similar information.

"Forced labor" is not a nice word. Once this big hat is put on, it will have a significant impact on Xinjiang cotton.

This is how Uzbekistan’s cotton was destroyed in the past two years.

Although the Three Parallel Rivers region is located in the south, its altitude is not low and it also experienced cold waves after December.

Guo Yang and other researchers have been staying in the office recently to sort out the final data.

However, due to the complex international situation, he often received calls from all over the world, and then he issued one instruction after another.

Agriculture around the world is in chaos, and the original pattern is constantly being reshaped.

Few people can see through the fog and find the most correct response at the right time.

As a troublemaker, Guo Yang can fully grasp every opportunity.

Guo Yang was not surprised when he received Qu Yang's call.

Qu Yang said: "The boycott from Western society is coming soon. Xinjiang cotton will not have an easy time after being accused of forced labor."

Guo Yang said calmly: "Don't worry, JCIA is prepared for this. If you are interested, you can take a look at the recent performance of relevant domestic clothing brands."

Two days later, the rumors continued to ferment, and it seemed that a storm was about to come.

Guo Yang also returned to Jiuquan before New Year's Day, and there was a small episode during that time.

The Ruiyang apples in Nyingchi are ripe, located in the Niyang River basin.

Guo Yang made a special detour to take a look and had a conversation with Xie Hongjiang, who introduced the species.

Linzhi, the 'Little Jiangnan', may indeed be the most suitable place for planting in Ruiyang.

In addition to Ruiyang, Guo Yang also tasted several new apple varieties such as Venus Gold in Xie Hongjiang's orchard. He even took some away when he left, which made the trip worthwhile.

Jiuquan has been covered with silver.

In the hotel conference room of Jiahe, JCIA held a new alliance meeting, and the attendance was exceptionally large.

Representatives from each company attended in their best attire, and JCIA members were generally all smiles as the domestic cotton industry fell into peril.

Guo Yang sat in a corner of the stage, observing everything.

Qi Ziwen walked up to the podium and said, "It seems that everyone is in a good mood."

Those present laughed knowingly.

On the big screen behind Qi Ziwen, there is a table listing the returns of four funds including Xiaohan.

The investment proportion and income data of each equity holder are listed clearly.

The profits range from millions to tens of millions, or even billions.

Li Rucheng and his daughter Li Hanqiong were also sitting in the audience. Jiahe was at the top of the list, followed closely by Yageo.

A total of 25 billion yuan was invested, and the principal and interest have now exceeded billion yuan.

With such high returns, it doesn’t matter how much money Yageo loses in the cotton industry.

Hongxing Erke's Wu Rongguang and Anta's Ding Shizhong, who also invested in Xiaohan Fund, also felt lucky. They decided to invest in Xiaohan Fund at the last minute.
In addition, companies in the industry chain such as Guannong Co., Ltd., Xinnong Development, and Huafu also benefited greatly.

Qi Ziwen stepped aside halfway and pointed at the screen behind him. "Everyone has been watching for so long, can I turn it off?"

"Hahaha……"

Qi Ziwen reviewed the development of the cotton industry and JCIA in the past year.

The current situation was also analyzed.

"The current situation of domestic cotton, especially Xinjiang cotton, is very serious, and the label of 'forced labor' is basically unavoidable."

"Uzbekistan's cotton exports have suffered a heavy blow in the face of this move. The situation in China is different. Our textile industry is strong, but the price difference between domestic and foreign cotton is too large, so many textile companies use imported cotton."

"Under such circumstances, it is even more necessary for all the pillars of the industry present here to support the development of national cotton."

As soon as Qi Ziwen finished speaking, there were responses from the audience one after another.

Li Rucheng was the first to say, "Youngor will only use domestic cotton in the future! If JCIA cotton is not enough, we will purchase cotton from other countries!"

Sun Weiting also smiled and said: "Huafu has established a large number of cotton bases in Xinjiang Province and has always been a loyal supporter of national cotton."

Wu Rongguang, who works in the downstream clothing industry, also said: "Since its establishment, Erke has always insisted on using domestic cotton!"

Clothing brands such as Anta, Peak, and Septwolves have also come forward to express their stance.

In the past two years, the benefits of JCIA have been tangibly demonstrated.

The quality and comfort of clothes made with JCIA cotton have been significantly improved, and their reputation and brand power in the terminal market are also increasing.

Therefore, even if there is no futures profit, these people are willing to use JCIA for the sake of brand development.

Likewise, I am happy to support domestic cotton.

This JCIA meeting was uneventful and more like a celebration meeting.

Guo Yang and Qi Ziwen walked out of the hotel side by side. Not far away was a sea buckthorn forest with only trunks left.

"Other people's crises are opportunities for JCIA." Qi Ziwen said, "It seems that everyone in the alliance has realized this."

Guo Yang nodded, put his hands in his pockets, and asked with a smile: "How is the fund you manage?"

Qi Ziwen laughed and said, "I have made a lot of money by following the boss's ideas. Now I have a more comprehensive understanding of commodity futures."

Guo Yang praised: "Not bad, but the situation may be reversed next year."

Qi Ziwen was surprised and said, "It can't be that fast. Now India is booming and the US has restored its agricultural production capacity. Most agricultural products have serious overcapacity. Logically speaking, it will take several years for the reversal to happen."

"Don't you find it strange that Ah San is breeding rapidly?" Guo Yang asked, and then added, "This breeding rapid growth is unsustainable."

Qi Ziwen was stunned for a moment before he said, "Boss, do you mean that Ah San's explosive growth is about to end?"

Guo Yang affirmed: "It's over."

After arriving at the office, Guo Yang revealed more detailed information to Qi Ziwen.

Now that things have happened, there is nothing to hide.

As the person who directly handles most of Jiahe's affairs today, Qi Ziwen needs to know the full picture of the matter.

After listening to this, Qi Ziwen sat in his office chair in astonishment, muttering: "Water and land are the two most important means of production in agriculture..."

India is a big agricultural country and also a populous country. Once a bomb explodes, the destructive power will be beyond imagination.

The current predicament of cotton and sugar will be reversed immediately!
After obtaining the information provided by Guo Yang, Qi Ziwen also mobilized internal forces to conduct an analysis, only to find that someone within the group had already made preparations for this.

For example, the four futures funds of white sugar and cotton, as well as the Cotton and Linen Company, and even JCIA have made some advance preparations. This is Guo Yang's influence in Jiahe.

The manor on the banks of the Taolai River was shrouded in white. Guo Pengye, who was over one year old, had already learned to walk. He was dressed warmly and staggered towards Guo Yang.

"Dad, give me a hug."

Looking at the chubby Guo Pengye, Guo Yang's heart almost melted. He immediately lifted Guo Pengye up high and made him laugh.

It's February.

Sugar and cotton prices hit rock bottom.

A large number of farmers and enterprises at home and abroad have suffered deep losses. Many companies under Jiahe have frequently taken action to accelerate the layout of the global cotton and sugar industries.

In just one or two months, industrial bases and market channels were established in China, South America, Europe and other places.

In addition, the integration of Jiahe Grain & Oil and Jiahe International into Nidera and Noble Agri has been completed, significantly increasing the volume of global grain trade.

However, due to overcapacity, Jiahe's international grain and oil trade is in deep losses.

However, Golden Harvest is happy to see the losses.

Because no egg will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned, the four major grain traders, Wilmar International, Marubeni, Itochu and other multinational grain traders are also in deep losses.

At least Jiahe Grain and Oil has the transfusion of Xanthoceras sorbifolia oil.

After several years of promotion, Xanthoceras sorbifolia Oil has become famous both at home and abroad for its health-promoting ingredients and quality, and contributes a lot of profits to Jiahe Grain and Oil every year.

In addition to making up for losses in international trade, this profit can also help Jiahe Grain and Oil expand its market rapidly.

In recent months, fund transfers within Golden Harvest have been unusually frequent.

Under the leadership of Qi Ziwen, Jiahe completed many cross-border mergers and acquisitions, both large and small. In addition to processing and distribution companies, it also invested in a large number of farms.

At the same time, the label of "forced labor" was eventually put on Xinjiang cotton. Many brands including H&M, Uniqlo, Nike, and Adidas issued announcements saying that they would refuse to use Xinjiang cotton.

This incident caused a sensation in the country, making the already bleak domestic cotton market even worse.

After the Chinese New Year, on the first day of the A-share market opening, investors were still waiting and watching, and market sentiment was lukewarm.

However, Qian Xiwen, an ordinary white-collar worker in Shanghai, received his first big red envelope after the holiday, with a profit of nearly 40,000 yuan in his account.

"It's really fierce! On the first trading day after the holiday, Jahwa's stock price is about to reach its daily limit!"

"Maybe there is no hype in the market, so we have to buy it."

"Jiahua's share price is almost 200 yuan. In three or four years, the share price has increased seven or eight times. It is obviously too high. If you buy now, you will be stuck at the top of the mountain again."

"You said the same thing three years ago."

In between slacking off, Qian Xiwen watched the discussions of many investors in the stock bar and silently made a statement.

"People who are afraid of heights are miserable. Just look at Jahwa's performance and you won't say such ignorant things!"

In the past two or three years, Qian Xiwen has lived a simple life, living in a cheap rental house, eating cheap work meals, and rarely buying clothes.

As soon as I received my salary, I invested most of the money in the stock market. Now the assets in my account are close to two million.

The account’s cumulative rate of return is as high as 100%!

And all of this is brought about by Jiahua.

The performance of Shanghai Jahwa in the past two or three years has been so impressive, so amazing!

Revenue in 2011 exceeded 50 billion yuan!

Revenue exceeded 2012 billion in !

Last year’s revenue exceeded 20 billion yuan!
One step forward every year, the average annual growth rate has reached 100%!

What is amazing is that the profit margin did not decline, but instead increased significantly, which means that the brand appeal of Jahwa is rapidly increasing.

This is indeed the case. In addition to Herborist and Yuze, the century-old brand "Shuangmei", which was revived after Golden Harvest's investment, has also stepped onto the fashion stage.

In addition, traditional brands such as Liushen have also undergone upgrades, not only changing their packaging but also improving their products.

The new raw materials have brought new vitality to Jahwa’s product matrix.

Each product is eye-catching and quickly gained recognition from consumers after entering the market.

Nowadays, Jahwa's product launch conferences have received high attention from the entire industry.

As for the A-share market, as soon as it was heard that Jahwa was going to hold a press conference, even before it was clear what products would be released, Jahwa’s stock price had already risen in advance.

Jahwa’s product promotion and marketing already brings its own traffic. As soon as a new product is released or upgraded, a large number of bloggers and old customers will try it out.

Then, it’s the familiar process, the product gets recognized, word of mouth builds, and sales increase.

In three years, Jahwa seemed to have become a completely different company.

The annual revenue increased from 30 billion to 5 billion, and the annual profit also increased from 40 million to more than billion, soaring like a rocket!

The whole market was stunned!

Jahwa’s market value has exceeded 500 billion and is heading towards billion!
In fiscal year 2013, Procter & Gamble Group's global operating revenue was US$851 billion, more than twenty times that of Shanghai Jwa Group.

However, if Jahwa continues to maintain this growth rate, the "China P&G" envisioned by the market may not be impossible.

All of this stems from a merger and acquisition three years ago, when Jiahe spent more than 50 billion yuan to acquire the Jahwa Group.

Today, the profit has been ten times.

Although the account assets have reached nearly two million, Qian Xiwen still lives a simple life as always.

I go to work, and when I get home I study stock knowledge and play games. My life is easy and comfortable.

Qian Xiwen received another big red envelope on the first day of trading after the holiday. He was very happy and decided to study stocks more.

When I opened the stock trading software, I saw that the selected stocks were full of traces of the "Jiahe Group".

He specially compiled this.

After watching for a while, he was surprised to find that something was wrong with the Jiahe Group today.

It seems like there's an increase across the board?
what happened? !

Qian Xiwen felt something was wrong. In the past one or two years, the performance of agricultural stocks was not very good.

Because of the Jiahe Group standing in the way, most agricultural stocks lack credibility.

Only some constituent stocks with strong correlation with Jiahe occasionally performed well, but they were also weak in the follow-up due to global overcapacity.

Qian Xiwen confirmed once again that the Jiahe Group had indeed risen across the board!

Something is wrong!
Qian Xiwen quickly searched for relevant information on the Internet, especially information related to Jiahe.

Drone flight performances, biodiesel consumption increased again, grain production increased steadily, Jiahe achieved breakthroughs in ecological governance in rocky desertification areas, the Loess Plateau turned green, Lingyan citrus per mu output value hit a new high, Jiahe Group initiated mergers and acquisitions several times this year, the annual precipitation in the Shule River, Heihe River and Shiyang River basins increased by 20 mm again, and the second season of "Aerial China" was broadcast again at home and abroad...

Qian Xiwen was overwhelmed by the news.

But he was used to it.

This is how Jiahe is. Once you are not paying attention or get lazy for a few days, the accumulated news will be frightening.

He can only screen them one by one.

In addition to the media, he also went to Jiahe's official website to search. After working for several hours, he finally found a clue.

"Ji Linchuan, general manager of Jiahe Cotton and Linen Company, said in an interview that Ahsan's cotton production is not sustainable."

"Jiahe Sugar Industry has been acquiring sugarcane planting bases and processing plants at home and abroad. General Manager Zou Kun said Jiahe has no plans to introduce Indian sugarcane varieties."

"Tianhe's specially-appointed expert publicly criticized that the introduction of Indian sugarcane and cotton varieties would destroy the country's land resources!"

Similar speeches have been quite frequent in the past two months. They may not seem very impressive when read separately, but they are very intriguing when put together.

Jiahe is not optimistic about the sustainability of India’s cotton and sugarcane production?
But what does it matter?

It’s been so long!
Qian Xiwen browsed through them one by one and found a lot of interesting information.

For example, Jiahe had long anticipated the changes in the cotton and sugar markets, and led a group of cotton industry companies to make huge profits in the futures market.

It also provides strong support for Xinjiang cotton, which has been subjected to "forced labor", as a national trend brand.

But this information would at most make him interested for a moment, and then he would quickly skip over it.

It was not until a report from two months ago came into his sight that Qian Xiwen frowned and his heart beat faster.

"Tianhe Seed Industry Science Research Institute spokesperson said: Ahsan's new sugarcane and cotton varieties have serious hidden dangers!"

He clicked on the article posted on the official website of Tianhe, which revealed that Tianhe had invested in a breeding center in India.

Although this investment has not been smooth sailing so far, it has allowed Tianhe to get in touch with India's seed market.

With India's technological strength, its original sugarcane and cotton production were relatively low in the world, and it became a major agricultural country relying on its abundant land resources.

Later, Professor Satnam changed this situation.

The sugarcane and cotton varieties bred by his team pushed yields to unprecedented heights.

As a result, India's sugarcane and cotton production increased significantly.

However, this is not without cost.

According to Tianhe’s investigation, these two varieties are extremely water-consuming and also extremely wasteful of soil fertility.

In recent years, the competition for water resources has increased significantly in India, and the land planted with new varieties has gradually become abandoned.

The report contains not only text, but also data, tables and pictures...

Qian Xiwen seemed to have grasped something.
