Chapter 740 – You think I am a fool?!
“Our Beidacang Group have breeding farms and farms for all sort of crops. These are what Tai Hua Processed Food Company needs, right?”
Feng Yu nodded. He was right. Tai Hua Processed Food Company only has pig farms. Tian Peng Pig Farm. The most prominent modern pig farm in China.
“We have more advantage in this area. The whole of China, or even Asia, we have the biggest advantage, right?”
Feng Yu shook his head. “That is after Beidacang Group grew and developed. But now, can your cow and goat farms be compared to the Northwest region? Can your crops farm be compared to the Shandong region? Don’t talk about Asia. You all are not even the best in China yet.”
This was a negotiation. Feng Yu had to pour cold water on the other party. If Feng Yu agrees with whatever the other party said, then he would allow the other party to set all the conditions.
Manager Feng, you cannot say this. We have the most significant land area and potential. It’s only a matter of time when we become the biggest agriculture production company in Asia.” Niu Kun said. He was slightly pissed with what Feng Yu said.
“Maybe. Continue.” Feng Yu shrugged his shoulders. Even before Feng Yu came to this life, Beidacang Group’s production had not exceeded the Shandong region. Restoration of the forests and pasture, wetland conservations, etc. had reduced the number of farms in the Longjiang Province. The wasteland which had been cultivated now will have to be returned back to their original state 10 years later.
“We have a variety of products and Tai Hua Processed Food Company only has a few products. That’s why we want a collaboration with our brands. We will print both our companies’ brands on the packaging for all our products. This way, we can help each other increase brand influences.”
“Wait. Help each other increase brand awareness? What brand influence do you all have? How are you all going to help our brand? Even in Longjiang province, your brands are not as famous as mine, let alone the rest of the country. Our products are even exported to Europe and Southeast Asia!”
Tian Peng Ham had been exported to Hong Kong, and it’s considered Southeast Asia. It was also sold to Moscow and Moscow was considered Europe!
“Manager Feng, the selling points of our brand will be products from Black Soil and modern agriculture, breeding and green ecological farming. There is no other such company in China.”
Huh? There is the concept of green ecological farming now!?
Green ecological farming can also be known as safe, organic, and green farm products. China had this food standard, logo, and this name Green Food in the early 1990s. But the people then were poor, and no one cares about when the food they ate was green or organic. All they want was to fill their stomachs.
But it was different now. The average salary had increased a lot in the past two years. Private and overseas companies’ salary was the highest. Lots of people there were getting more than 1,000 RMB monthly. Some leaders there were reaching more than 10,000 RMB.
These few years, China’s economy was developing rapidly, and there was an increase in private companies. There were more wealthy people, and these people started to pay attention to their children’s health. This was the time to promote green food products and capture the market share.
Feng Yu had not expected someone at Beidacang Group to suggest selling marketing their products through Green Food labels. Seems that there were still lots of smart people in state-owned enterprises.
“Green ecological agriculture is a good selling point. But can you all get the certification for green food products?” Feng Yu asked Niu Kun.
“Our farms fulfilled environmental requirements. The processes, production, hygiene, quality, etc. are all qualified. We will surely get this certification easily. We have already applied for it, and the approval should be out this month.” Niu Kun smiled confidently.
They were a state-owned enterprise, and this certification was issued by the Ministry of Agriculture. It’s all their own people. Even if there were some issues, they would cover it up!
“Ok. I am slightly interested in this Green Ecological farming. But we can also apply for this certification. This reason is not sufficient for me to agree to this cooperation.”
Feng Yu believed that he would also be able to get the certification himself. If anyone in the government purposely prevents him from getting this certification, he will make sure that person would be fired from the government!
“Also, we are a state-owned enterprise which is funded by the Central Government. We are the first company and will be setting the benchmark for the industry. We have much more subsidies than all of you. If your products printed our logo and brand, you would be able to enjoy tax subsidies. This is a great benefit.”
“Then can you tell me how much tax relief we will get if we print your logo on the packaging? Also, is this legal? I don’t want to get into trouble for tax evasion in the future.” Feng Yu looked at Niu Kun from the corner of his eyes.
Tax relieves and subsidies were not based on the brands of the products. It was based on the companies. Beidacang Group could enjoy tax benefits, but Tai Hua Processed Food Company were not eligible. If Feng Yu believed what Niu Kun had said and someone reported this in the future, his company would get into trouble!
“With us around, this will be legal!”
“That’s what you say. To be honest, I don’t have any trust in you!” Feng Yu told Niu Kun directly.
Niu Kun was slightly embarrassed, but he continued: “We will be letting your company sell all of our products. The profits from this deal should be quite high.”
“That’s right. If it is all of Beidacang Group’s products, the profits will be very high. But you all can always look for someone else to be your main distributor. Can you all set up sales distribution channels yourselves? Without me helping you all to sell your products, all your products will be stocked up in your warehouses!” You want to use this matter to negotiate with me? If I do not help you all sell your products, your losses will be significant!
“Manager Feng, didn’t we agree on this last time?”
“Since we have already agreed on this, why are you still bringing this up?” Feng Yu looked at Niu Kun. Using a condition which had been agreed upon by both parties to negotiate again? Is there anything wrong with your brains?
“Manager Feng, this cooperation will be a win-win situation for both of our companies. The green ecological farming and our supplies of raw ingredients to your company show that we will be your best partner!”
If Tai Hua Processed Food Company and Beidacang Group could cooperate, Tai Hua Processed Food Company will get a steady supply of raw ingredients. The demand for animal feed had increased, and grains were needed for the production of animal feed.
“We can cooperate. But have you all thought about how are we going to cooperate?” Feng Yu asked.
Niu Kun was delighted. “We had discussed about this. Now, Tai Hua Processed Food Company is producing and selling their own products. The packaging must be changed. Our company’s brand and name must be printed above your brand. All your advertisements must also include our brand name and logo……”
Niu Kun excitedly told Feng Yu about all his demands. But after speaking for a while, he noticed Feng Yu not saying a word. He looked up and saw Feng Yu sneering.
“Manager Niu, do I look like a fool to you?!”
