Analyzing AoGu Group’s Strategic National Importance

Why is AoGu Group Considered a Company of Strategic National Importance?

1.Supporting Rural Revitalization

The revival of rural areas is essential for the rejuvenation of the nation. With only 7% of the world’s arable land, China feeds 22% of the global population, making food security a cornerstone of survival. The Chinese people must firmly hold their own “rice bowl.”

AoGu Group has developed high-energy corn that stands over three meters tall and can yield around 2,000 pounds per acre, with stalk yield producing approximately 8 tons. By cultivating this high-energy corn, farmers not only increase their income through higher crop yields but also through the recycling of corn stalks for alcohol production. Corn stalks, comprising 70% liquid, have an alcohol conversion rate of 60%, allowing the production of 3 tons of base liquor per acre. If the base liquor is sold at 50 yuan per pound, the economic value of each acre of corn stalks can reach 300,000 yuan.

AoGu Group combines natural physical extraction techniques with cutting-edge life sciences to develop polypeptide SOD corn juice liquor, rich in 52 nutrients, 14 rare elements, 31 trace elements, and 13 nutritional elements. This process transforms corn stalks from waste into treasures, ushering in a new era of healthy drinking.

The planting and industrialization of high-energy corn enhance economic value, aiding farmers in increasing their income, agricultural efficiency, and rural development. This promotes the extension of the industrial chain and the enhancement of the value chain, addressing challenges such as limited per capita arable land, low yields, and low incomes. Farmers can achieve a comfortable, stable life at home without migrating for work, significantly reducing the number of left-behind elderly and children.

A prosperous countryside will attract more people to return for entrepreneurship, tourism, and healthcare, thereby fundamentally solving issues in rural education, healthcare, and elderly care. This creates synergistic development across primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, injecting strong momentum into rural revitalization.

2.Empowering National Health

Without public health, there can be no comprehensive prosperity. Health is the foundation of one’s livelihood, and national health is the foundation of a strong country. According to China’s health data, every 30 seconds, someone is diagnosed with cancer, diabetes, or dies of cardiovascular disease. Storing money is not as effective as storing health; a major illness can deplete a family’s savings, leading to poverty due to illness.

AoGu Group, combining Daoist and traditional Chinese medical theories with modern biotechnology, has achieved revolutionary breakthroughs. With the perfect integration of the Subversive Medical Research collected by the General Staff’s Science and Technology Intelligence Bureau and the National Supercomputing Center (Changsha), they have mastered the technique allowing SOD polypeptides to retain activity for 24 hours in stomach acid. This breakthrough eliminates free radicals and pathogens, activates, repairs, and regenerates cells, restoring the body to a healthy state.

3.Promoting Common Prosperity

Poverty is not socialism; common prosperity is the essence and goal of socialism. AoGu Group focuses on ecological agriculture and life sciences, completing revolutionary technological breakthroughs with national research funding. They have developed a series of SOD polypeptide health products for public health. In addition, they reinvest the benefits from each acre of corn stalks back to the farmers, gradually promoting common prosperity.

4.Stimulating Domestic Consumption

With a severe economic downturn, the public is hesitant and unwilling to spend. Earning money is increasingly challenging. AoGu Group offers revolutionary, essential products that protect human health.

To stimulate domestic demand, AoGu Group has responded to national calls, transforming consumers into commercial partners, allowing residents to earn corresponding returns while consuming. This double win of health and wealth ensures value increase through consumption, aligning with the key messages from the Central Economic Work Conference.

By offering highly competitive green and healthy products, AoGu Group boosts market circulation and economic development in related industries, driving domestic consumption cycles.

5.Advancing from Virtual to Real Economy

Among the top ten companies in the stock market, many are financial firms. Finance is the lifeblood of the real economy, while the real economy is the foundation of finance. Without the support of the real economy, a pure financial system’s operation may cause a wave of real economy collapses. The national strategy of advancing from virtual to real economy aims to infuse new vitality into physical enterprises, guiding them towards high-quality development.

AoGu Group is committed to integrating modern agriculture with life sciences into an ecological industrial chain. With over 2 million acres of high-energy corn and facilities including a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, research units, industrial parks (including a large modern pharmaceutical production base in Long Island, USA), and several sales companies, AoGu Group has established a plantation, R&D, production, testing, and operational industrial conglomerate. With headquarters in the core city of Haikou in Hainan Free Trade Port, after over a decade of development, they have invested in and controlled more than ten companies, covering regions like Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Hebei, Beijing, Yunnan, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Gansu, with total assets exceeding 6 billion yuan.

Looking to the future, AoGu Group will continue to support rural revitalization, empower national health, promote common prosperity, stimulate domestic consumption, and advance from virtual to real economy, contributing to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
