How to invest in the post-pandemic era

How to invest in the post-pandemic era 

Introduction: The UNCTAD report shows that due to the new crown epidemic, the scale of global direct investment will drop significantly in 2020-2021. The sudden outbreak of the new crown epidemic has affected the overseas investment activities of global companies to a greater extent. Cross-border investors should always remain cautious about the changes brought about by the new crown epidemic. 

As the new crown epidemic is rapidly raging in the world and causing serious health incidents, all countries have adopted strict epidemic control measures. Globally, investors and invested companies in various countries are affected by the new crown epidemic, and the control measures in various countries have actually restricted the flow of capital and personnel, which has a direct impact on all aspects of cross-border investment and will have a continuous impact.

Therefore, the impact on the new crown epidemic is likely to persist with a long time after the epidemic is completely over. Therefore, in this severe era, choosing a good investment project is the top priority. 

In the short term, due to the extensive liquidity of the epidemic last year, we have seen the birth of the Sci-tech Innovation Board and some institutional innovations and changes in the capital market. This is very friendly to the capital market and asset management institutions. Especially in the fields of new energy and medical treatment. It will take time to digest the high valuation. This year is generally a volatile market, with structural opportunities. 

In the long run, both the energy structure and the demographic structure will have great changes, so many investors are preparing to get in touch with these emerging industries. However, from the perspective of the life cycle of the industry, most of these emerging industries are not sustainable, because almost all growth industries will eventually become normal industries, and all high valuations will eventually become low valuations. This is the fate of all companies. The market has given relatively high expectations, but if the enthusiasm drops in the future, it may not be able to achieve better returns.

Then many investors will ask, in the current post-epidemic era, which industries are better? Here, my answer is: the food industry. Because food is the foundation of people's livelihood. For the country, grain reserves are a preventive governance method. Sufficient food reserves are a solid guarantee of a country in special times such as various disasters and wars. The same is true of investors. Moreover, the potential for the African food industry is huge, and investing in this industry is even more a wise decision. 

After determining the investment industry, choosing a trading partner should be more cautious. Due to some restrictions brought about by the epidemic, it has become more difficult for investors to have an in-depth and thorough understanding of trading partners, counterparties, and advisory teams. In particular, there may be a lack of face-to-face communication. Therefore, when choosing to trade partners and advisory teams Should be more cautious.

Just like our company "Hongdefa Machinery" has been in the African market for decades, before the outbreak of the epidemic, we would visit our customers in Africa every year and would also help our customers who have sold the equipment to maintain their equipment for free. We also have our own overseas offices in Africa, Zambia, Uganda, and Ethiopia, which is undoubtedly one of our huge advantages. 

Although the sluggish market trading environment and various uncertainties have been brought about by the epidemic, we have not been greatly affected. When the epidemic began to isolate at home, our leaders made the right decision. We began to implement online meetings to communicate with our customers, and our technicians and managers were on the opposite side of the camera to answer customer questions. Facts have proved that our decision is correct. In this era, we still win the hearts of many customers with our excellent quality.

 

（Customers and our video conference）

 

Since the beginning of 2020 until now, all the customers who have invested in the milling plant have given us positive feedback. You read it right, it's all! This also suffices to prove that the grain industry is very stable and will not have the same ups and downs as some other industries.

 

I think valuation is the result of market transactions, and it reflects the different expectations of the market for the future. The market is completely uncertain, but one thing is that the food industry is very important and important at all times. We at Hongdefa and our customers have had a difficult two years, and we cannot predict when the epidemic will completely end. Therefore, we suggest that you invest in a mill of your own, so that you will have confidence in your heart no matter when.

 

Finally, welcome to call us, trust me, this will be one of the most correct decisions you have ever made.

And also have rich experience in the national market. The technical flow is very successful and advanced. For example the technical characteristics

● Adopting advanced processing technology, cleaning, degerminating, milling, sifting and maize flour packing. It can produce 2-3 kinds of final products of different sizes and low-fat at the same time. They are maize flour, maize grits, maize meal,etc.

●The maize flours and maize grits produced by this complete set of processing machine contain germs, less skin, good taste, rich nutrition, bright color, long shelf life, good quality and high flour extraction rate.

●The complete set of maize flour milling machine is divided into three parts:

1. Raw maize cleaning part, ( removing stone,dampening and degerminating):

 

The destoner is applied for efficient separation of stones and pebbles, glass, and other high-density matter from the stream of grain. It can remove all the impurity, such as steel, stones, ropes and so on.

 

The damper is an important piece of equipment to control the water content of the maize during maize cleaning in maize flour mills. It is the stainless steel, and it will not rusty, the working life is longer than the iron one.

 

Degerminator with Japan technology, is designed to ‘scrub’ the bran skin from the maize kernel and to dislodge the germ from its cavity, with the minimum reduction in size of the broken fragments.

 

2. Maize milling parts:

 

 

Hongdefa roller mill is European standard pneumatic roller mill. The quality of the final product can be maintained at a high level. The quality of the maize flour is particularly stable.

Why our Hongdefa machinery has such a good relationship with Zambia

Why our Hongdefa machinery has such a good relationship with Zambia

As we all know, our Hongdefa machinery has a very good relationship with various countries in Africa, and our milling machines are very popular with the local area. Among them, especially Zambia, we not only have a closer relationship, but we also have overseas offices there! So why does Zambia has such a close relationship with us? Why is our equipment so famous for Zambia and even Africa? I will explain to you slowly next!

              (The second from the left in the picture is Mr. Dong, our Zambia office manager) 

First of all, Zambia has a tropical climate with abundant water resources. The main river is the Zambezi. This is the fourth largest river in Africa, with a total length of 2,660 kilometers, flowing through the west and south. By the way, the famous Victoria Falls is located on this river. It is also one of the seven natural wonders of the world and a famous tourist attraction in Zambia

Therefore, due to the vast territory, sparse population, fertile land, and abundant water resources in Zambia, Zambia is especially suitable for the development of the agricultural economy.

And now with the economic development, people's demand for the quality and quantity of maize flour is increasing. People in Zambia more like super white breakfast meal and roller meal to make delicious Fufu Nshima Ugali.

 

So Hongdefa machinery set branch office in Lusaka and we concentrate to research the flour market and improve the machine design to meet Zambia flour market need for decades.

 

We provide high quality machine from 500kg/h to 50ton/h with different design according to our client needs, roll out unique and innovative wheat flour mill and maize mill plant.

The picture above is our Zambian manager Mr. Dong, who has been stationed in Zambia for a long time, in-depth research on the local market and understanding of customer needs, so he can provide you with better services

He has rich experience in Zambia maize milling machinery market. For now, he takes in charge of more than 10 sets of over 150t/24h maize milling machinery projects in Zambia, Innumerable small maize milling machinery projects.

 

We have many advantages. For example, our qualities are absolutely guaranteed. Our machines are guaranteed by various quality inspections, such as SGS inspection, BV inspection and so on. And we also have a great after-sales service guarantee.

Features and applications of wheat wet cleaning technology

 Features and applications of wheat wet cleaning technology

 

The wheat wet cleaning process is to add a wheat washing machine on the basis of dry cleaning process. Stone washing machine is the main equipment of wheat wet cleaning process. It can separate the impurities such as shoulder stone, mud block and insect eaten wheat grain in wheat; through washing wheat, it can also remove soil, pesticide, microorganism, insect eggs and other pollutants on the surface of wheat and embedded in the abdominal ditch; it can also increase the water content of wheat. Its disadvantage is that the water consumption is large, the sewage needs to be purified, and the workshop is humid It is easy to accelerate the bacterial reproduction in the equipment, transportation equipment and wheat warehouse.

  

One of the important advantages of the wheat washing machine is that it can completely remove the dust adhered to the surface of the wheat grain and the inside of the belly ditch and the light miscellaneous mixed in the wheat stream. This function can not be achieved by any advanced single cleaning machine. Research and practice have proved that the dust adhered on the surface of wheat has the greatest pollution to wheat flour. When the non cleaned wheat enters the first grinding machine and is grinded for the first time, its particle size is smaller than that of the wheat in the product, and it is fragile and miscellaneous, so it can enter the front wheat flour system unimpeded through screening without any further grinding, while the medium and low particles in the middle and back roads are relatively low On the contrary, wheat flour and by-product bran are rarely contaminated. This is that many large factories with excellent equipment and advanced technology can not produce high-precision wheat flour, while some small factories can produce high-grade wheat flour with a similar proportion only because of the addition of wheat washing equipment, although the equipment and technology of some small factories are relatively simple.

 

After wet cleaning, the following process indexes can be achieved:

① the ash content of wheat should be reduced by 0.02% - 0.04%;

② the broken wheat produced should not exceed 0.5%;

③ the moisture content of wheat should meet the requirements of flour milling, and there is no water drop on the surface of Wheat;

④ the sand content after washing should be less than 0.03% (when the sand content of wheat entering the machine ≤ 0.3%);

⑤ wheat grains infected with pathogens (Hyde disease, scab, and ergot)

⑥ the amount of dry matter washed away should not exceed 0.3% of the total weight of wheat, and the sewage purification treatment should meet the requirements of environmental protection. There is a big difference in ash content, whiteness and microorganism between wheat flour processed by washing wheat and that without washing wheat. It can be seen from the data measured by relevant research: the dry cleaning process can reduce the ash content (dry basis) of wheat mill by 0.09% on average, and the wet cleaning process can reduce the ash content (dry basis) of wheat flour by 0.17% on average, which is almost twice as much as that of dry cleaning; the ash content of wheat flour is also decreased more obviously, with an average decrease of 0.027% under the premise of unchanged flour proportion, and the whiteness is slightly improved. The unfavorable factor is that the bacterial content of wheat flour produced by wet cleaning is slightly increased.

Moisture damper   

                              

                     gravity classification stoner 

Compared with the dry cleaning process, the disadvantages of the wet cleaning process are also more prominent: first of all, wheat washing needs to consume a lot of tap water, the sewage needs to be purified, and the water consumption is 1 ~ 2 times of the wheat flow. In the current situation of frequent urban water shortage and high water price, for small and medium-sized wheat flour milling enterprises, it is not only difficult to bear the expensive water cost, but also the discharged sewage can not be completely purified. Secondly, the wheat washing water contains a large number of organic impurities such as wheat husk, insect damaged wheat grains and broken wheat grains, which will cause the loss of useful materials without treatment In order to solve these two problems, we must take relative measures, and the investment should not be too large and the cost should not be too high. Otherwise, it will not work in the wheat flour industry with low profit.

                     

 

 

The main advantages of wheat wet cleaning process are recognized as the main part, which is to remove stones and water. Therefore, when the specific gravity grading stone remover and computer watering machine appeared with lower cost, easier operation, higher efficiency and precision, the wheat washing machine market was almost completely replaced by them.

 

The wet cleaning process of wheat has gone through the process from use to elimination, and its cleaning effect is in favor of its cleaning effect: it can shorten the process flow, reduce the occupation of equipment, and improve the quality of wheat flour; it is eliminated because it consumes a lot of water, wastes wheat and causes certain pollution to the environment. The use of dry cleaning or wet cleaning process has a lot to do with the powder road and other milling equipment, but the role of wet cleaning process has its own advantages. Wheat flour milling enterprises, especially small and medium-sized wheat flour milling enterprises, can balance the advantages and disadvantages according to their location, water supply and drainage conditions, process requirements and spatial location, and reasonably use the wheat wet cleaning process.

How does Hongdefa send engineers to Africa under severe epidemic conditions

 How does Hongdefa send engineers to Africa under severe epidemic conditions

 

In the past 2019 and 2020, Hongdefa and Hongdefa customers have had a very difficult period.

In these 2 years, although our Hongdefa has won the hearts of customers and a large number of maize flour milling machine and wheat flour processing machine orders with excellent quality.

However, after the arrival of many customers' flour milling machines, they were delayed to install, which caused our installation pressure to double.

Due to the epidemic, there are few flights, and even many flights have been suspended. The epidemic in China and the epidemic in Africa have prevented our Chinese engineers from going to Africa to complete the flour processing machines installation work.

 

Although we have done a lot of work online to guide the customer's local engineers in the maize and wheat flour milling machines installation work, such as sending all the installation drawings to the customer, doing a lot of 3D drawings and animations, videos, and even direct face-to-face video guidance installation, but still can’t completely solve this installation problem.

For example, the installation of 300T/24H corn milling machinery, 120T/24H corn milling machinery, 100T/24H wheat flour processing machine in Zimbabwe, many sets of 100T/24H maize milling plant and wheat flour milling plant in Ethiopia, 120T/24H corn milling machinery in Swaziland, 150T/24H maize milling plant in Malawi, etc. huge and complex projects that local African engineers cannot complete independently.

 

The huge pressure of installation caused both hongdefa's engineers and the customer's local engineers a headache.

 

Fortunately, at the beginning of 2021, China had vaccines. We Hongdefa received the vaccine as soon as possible, and all employees were vaccinated.

At the beginning of 2021, the epidemic has also eased due to the vaccine. Flights are gradually recovering and increasing.

Our hongdefa also sent engineers to Africa to install maize and wheat flour processing machines at the first time.

However, headaches also follow.

Such as expensive air tickets and meeting all the requirements for taking a flight.

 

Expensive air tickets have put a lot of pressure on our Hongdefa customers. For the benefit of our customers, we Hongdefa decided to check the number of appointed engineers to reduce the customer's effort. The reduction in the number of engineers does not mean that the work will be reduced. On the contrary, the workload of the engineers will be greatly increased, but the decision is worthwhile.

 

Engineers need to apply for visas to Africa, and the embassy is very strict during this special period, which directly leads to the need for us to spend a lot of time to obtain visas.

Before taking a flight, engineers must do nucleic acid testing within 48 hours.

Time review is very strict, all we need to strictly enforce.

In addition, there are different requirements of various airlines.

 

The moment our Hongdefa engineers got on the plane, their journey had just begun.

The smooth completion of the maize and wheat flour milling machinery installation is something everyone is looking forward to.

Let our customers' machines run smoothly and put into production, is our ultimate goal.

 

When the engineers finished their work and was about to return home, another journey began.

We need to do nucleic acid testing locally with the help of our customers. After boarding the plane, you need to land in the transit country and do the nucleic acid test again. If the airport of the transit country does not have this capability, our engineers need to stay in the transit country for 3 days and 2 nights to wait for the test results.

The expenses in transit countries, such as accommodation, meals, testing, and transportation expenses, are all borne by Hongdefa.

At the moment the engineer landed in China, the airport bus will take the engineer directly to a specially isolated hotel for 14 days. After the quarantine, the engineer returned to his hometown and was quarantined in the hospital for 7 days before returning to his home.

All the above expenses shall be borne by hongdefa and the customer.

 

Although it is hard and difficult to go to Africa for installation and other work, everything we have done is worthwhile because we have been recognized by our customers and have given them great business help.

The success of their business is our Hongdefa happiest thing.
