"Jianning, the profits of these companies are not required to be transferred except for Galaxy Fund."

"You go and convene a think tank and follow the original financial market layout, so that each company can increase its investment according to its respective strengths and circumstances."

"But you still need to come up with a top-level plan for me to see."

After putting down the statistical report, Xia Yu called back the tranced Huo Jianning and directly issued instructions to him.

"Okay, I will speed up the task in the next two days." Huo Jianning immediately responded loudly.

"Yeah, go."

...

After Huo Jianning left, Xia Yu looked at the time and found it was too late, so he returned home to see his wife and children.

And after taking advantage of these days, Xia Yu has also thought about what part of it should be spent after making so much money.

The financial layout is already huge, and it takes a long time to wait for the right harvest time.

But at this interval, you can't wait to waste time.

Just after he checked the top 500 list in Economic Weekly, Xia Yu inspired some inspiration.

Afterwards, he immediately arranged for someone to investigate the market situation and collect relevant information.

Within a few days, the business intelligence networks all over the world collected all the information he needed.

This time, what he is targeting is the global commodity trading market!

Commodities refer to large-scale trading of material commodities that can enter the circulation field but are not retail, have commodity attributes and are used for industrial and agricultural production and consumption.

Commodity trading targets are not ordinary consumers, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch.

Even many countries do not value this area or have little understanding of it.

For example, after joining WTO in his previous life, he suffered a serious fall in commodity trading in 2004.

Abcd International’s four major grain merchants used bulk transactions to almost wipe out the soybean industry enterprises in the mainland, and took the opportunity to acquire major soybean industry enterprises at low prices, opening up the entire industrial chain.

Half of the 40 million bean farmers were laid off and had to leave their hometowns and become one of the 200 million migrant workers, which had a huge negative impact on society.

Get back to the point.

Soybeans are a type of commodity and also a major category of agricultural products.

In fact, there are many types of commodities, such as gold, silver, copper, iron and aluminum, and other products of fearful metals, crude oil, natural rubber, propane, heating oil and other energy and chemical products, as well as corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, cocoa, cotton and other agriculture.

By-products are all commodities.

For the convenience of classification, it is divided into three categories, namely energy commodities, basic raw materials and agricultural and sideline products.

In terms of commodity trading, Xia Yu has actually been doing it for a long time, and he is still the big shot among them.

After all, the status of the commodity market is bound to the amount of resources owned.

Speaking of resources, Xia Yu has too many, so in contrast, he has already had a very high market influence position in many fields.

Needless to say, natural rubber is backed by Southeast Asia, the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange has become the world's largest natural rubber futures trading location.

The two rubber kings in Southeast Asia are allies of Xia Yu, and the company was also invested by Xia Yu. The Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange is controlled by Xia Yu, so Xia Yu controls the highest pricing power for natural rubber.

In terms of minerals, Blue Star Mining Company, a giant crocodile hidden at the bottom of the water, relied on the cheating and resources given by Xia Yu to run wildly on the road to the mining overlord.

In terms of crude oil, after Pacific Petroleum Corporation follows Xia Yu's instructions, it will be a big rich man. As long as it has plans to develop some oil fields later, it will be enough to gain an important market position.

In these areas, there is no shortage of resources, but it is necessary to strengthen the strength outside of mining.

After all, resources are one thing in hand, and whether you can sell them at a high price to earn more profits is another matter.

But no matter what, with huge resources, you are already invincible.

In Xia Yu's plan, Bluestar Mining Company focuses on metal products in the three categories of commodities.

Pacific Petroleum, relying on the most basic crude oil, improves energy and chemical commodities such as heating oil, lead-free ordinary gasoline, propane and petroleum extracts.

Look at it like this.

In commodity trading, he has another obvious shortcoming, that is, agricultural and sideline products and the entire industrial chain.

In this regard, it’s not that he doesn’t have a company, it’s just that he’s not strong.

For example, the first-level subsidiary of Jiuding Industrial Group, Swire Agricultural Group, has companies such as Swire Cotton, Swire Sugar, Swire Tea, etc., and has many plantations and farms in Australia, India and other countries.

On a global scale, he can also be considered a strong man.

In Australia and New Zealand, Queensland Sugar and New Zealand Sugar Companies account for the largest market share in New Zealand and Australia, with a market share of more than 75%, and are also the largest sugar exporter.

In mainland China, there is a Huanong Group established three years ago. It is an agricultural means of production group with the entire agricultural industry chain, including pesticides and pesticide equipment, chemical fertilizers, small agricultural tools, semi-mechanized agricultural tools, and mechanized agricultural tools.

There are subsidiaries in feed, seedling cultivation, etc.

But after all, Huanong Group is positioned as a supplier of agricultural means of production, not agricultural product planting and sellers, and the difference is still very big.

It’s not that Xia Yu doesn’t want to build a company in mainland China that is comparable to COFCO Group, but it’s not very mature now.

The domestic household contract responsibility system has been implemented for less than eight years. The land is very sensitive. Moreover, the mainland is still mainly small peasant economy. Jiuzhou Industrial Group wants to enter the field of agricultural and sideline products production, it is OK, but it wants to

It is basically impossible to become a giant now, and it will be more realistic after entering the 1990s.

Therefore, if Xia Yu wants to become a global agricultural and sideline products bulk trading giant, he can only find solutions in countries outside the mainland.

Because of enough capital, the easiest way is to build a high position and acquire an existing industry giant.

There is no doubt that the four major grain merchants in the ABCD in later generations were targeted by Xia Yu. Among the information collected this time, these four companies were listed.

Cargill, the American company, among the four major grain merchants, was the largest agricultural product trading overlord in later generations.

Cargill, founded in 1865, is an old company that has been more than 120 years old. So far, the unlisted Cargill Company is jointly controlled by the Macmillan family and the Cargill family. The two major families have been connected to each other for hundreds of years.

It has long been inseparable.

Moreover, the business styles of these two major families are very stable and do not like loan operations, so they develop relatively slowly. At this time, Cargill had entered the Asian market and even began trade with China after Nixon visited China in 1972.

Among the four major grain merchants, A is the American Adm Company, which was established in 1902 and is now a top oilseed, corn and wheat processing enterprise.

This company is different from Cargill. It has been listed. The company is currently run by the founder's family Daniels family.

Because Amd was founded by two founders, Daniels and Archer, and later merged with Midland, there was no such concentration in terms of equity.

Among the four major grain merchants, Bangji Company is, but now the headquarters has not been moved to the United States, so it is not considered an American company.

Bangji Company is also an extremely old company, older than Cargill. It was founded in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 1818. Before Cargill was established, it was already the world's major food supplier.

At present, Bangji Company has not been listed. For more than 160 years, it has been in the hands of the Bangji family. Its control is very deep and cannot be shaken at all.

The last of the four major grain traders is the French Louis Dreyfus Company. This company, founded in 1851, has a development strategy similar to Cargill Company. They are all moving forward in concealment and staying away from the public's vision.

At present, the Louis Dreyfu family is not listed, and is led by the Louis Dreyfu family. The current head of the family and chairman of the group is Robert Louis Dreyfu, with a shareholding ratio of up to 81% of the Louis Dreyfu Group, and the remaining 19

% of the equity is also concentrated in the hands of other members of the Louis Dreyfu family.

In addition to these four giants, there are now Ikam, Dalivan, Paul Reinhardt, Orland Company, etc. in the global agricultural and sideline products bulk trading market.

However, most of these companies are low-key, making a fortune in silence, not going to go public, and their equity is relatively concentrated.
