Outside the window, the scorching sun hung high, and the scorching heat wave continued to bake the earth.

The air conditioning in the room is running at full capacity, keeping the heat wave at bay.

Looking out of the window, the forest in the distance was billowing black smoke. After the weather was dry and dry, after withstanding the impact of a monstrous heat wave, wildfires broke out one after another across the United States.

"It's a damn heat drought!" said Pierre, the man in the conference room.

There is nothing surprising about this name, but if you look at his last name - Dupont, no one can ignore his identity.

Yes, Pierre was an important member of the DuPont family in the United States.

The DuPont family, a legendary family, is the oldest, richest, most peculiar, and largest wealthy family in the United States. This family has maintained its longevity for more than 200 years, which is rare in the world.

Today, the DuPont family controls a huge industry based on chemistry and life sciences. DuPont alone has opened 135 manufacturing enterprises and 75 laboratories in more than 70 countries and regions, producing more than 37,000 products, covering various fields of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

The impact of this "super drought" in the United States is widespread. Food production, people's lives, the ecological environment, and even infrastructure in the United States have all begun to feel the impact of the "heat wave" to varying degrees.

Of course, for the rich here, the "super drought" has little impact on their lives. Whether it is the increase in the price of food on the table or the increase in the price of gasoline used in cars, they do not pay attention to it.

"I just want to know how the U.S. branch of Jiagu has been affected?" asked one of the participants.

Pierre said slowly: "It has a lot of impact. Jiagu's farms in the United States are almost all fallow, and Jiagu's physical industry in the United States has almost all come to a standstill. Even according to the lowest estimates, Jiagu's move will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. ”

"But as far as I know, Kaya is making a lot of money in the financial markets?" someone on the other side asked.

Except in the era of high mortality rates like war, there are no secrets in this world. As long as there is a heart, the news will always enter the ears of some people at certain moments.

Even if it is not clear that the specific profits of the Jiagu Financial Department in the financial market, it is not difficult for those here to judge the success or failure of the Jiagu Financial Department.

"You're right. Pierre was noncommittal, giving more specific figures: "The operation of the Gagu hedge fund in the futures market has brought at least a billion dollars in profits to Gagu. ”

Nowhere is the superdrought most directly affected by crops such as soybeans, corn and wheat. As the drought worsened, corn prices soared by more than 50%, soybean futures in Chicago hit record highs, and wheat futures rose to their highest level since '08.

Not only the above-mentioned varieties, but also drought has become an upward momentum for other futures varieties. U.S. raw sugar futures closed at a three-month high, and coffee, cocoa and other futures varieties have also risen continuously in recent days.

Jiagu Financial Department does not need too complicated operations, as long as it continues to hold the bulk grain futures contracts in its hands, and waits for the price to rise to a high level, whether it is selling contracts or delivering spots, it can make a lot of money.

"It is undeniable that Jiagu is an extremely accurate company in judging the long-term trend of bulk food commodities. Pierre said with admiration.

As recently as early spring, U.S. officials were expecting a bumper corn harvest this year, but the financial department insisted on playing a bullish role in the capital market. After the drought worsened irreversibly, officials were forced to announce a downward revision of corn production forecasts by as much as 18 percent, the largest drop in 25 years. At this time, Jiagu became the biggest winner.

"In fact, it's not just in the capital markets. The super drought and mad cow disease epidemic in our country have made Jiagu one of the biggest direct beneficiaries. ”

"The mad cow disease epidemic has caused our beef exports to collapse across the board, and as a substitute, Jiagu's pork export trade in the Japanese and South Korean markets has skyrocketed...... "Qi Qi Chinese network

"The super drought has pushed up global food prices, and as China's largest grain and oil producer and largest sugar producer, Jiagu can add at least a billion dollars in profits during this wave of price increases......

Pierre turned over the old bottom of Jiagu like a few treasures, and then said: "Compared to it, Jiagu's loss in the real industry in the United States seems to be nothing. ”

"Then what's the point of our suppression of Jiagu?" the tone of the participants' voices involuntarily rose by half a point.

Pierre snorted heavily and said, "The loss of hundreds of millions of dollars to Jiagu is enough to show our threat!"

"Could it be that today, who of you still thinks that this company is easy to bully?" Pierre looked at everyone with a smirk.

No one can argue with it.

The more I understand Jiagu, the more I am afraid of Jiagu.

To put it simply, the rise of Jiagu is almost smooth sailing, as if it has been favored by God.

Throughout every big leap and step forward in the development of Jiagu, there has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. China's food safety crisis has achieved the hegemony of Jiagu Dairy; the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has not only allowed Jiagu to obtain expansion funds, but also allowed Jiagu International to find an opportunity to "go to sea"; even if it has been suppressed one after another, it has been "saved" by the United States one after another, which has made the purse even more bulging......

To be honest, the participants are all figures who stand at the top level of business, and they are not afraid of the superb means of their opponents, but they are afraid of "amazing luck" like Jiagu.

After all, there is still a way to crack it with superb means, but how can God's favor be broken?

Moreover, as a large grain merchant rooted in China, Jiagu is fundamentally different from the big grain merchant in the United States: it is neither an agricultural multinational corporation that pursues profit maximization, nor is it a grain enterprise that dumps surplus agricultural products abroad.

This is a producer with its own large base, this is a supplier that guarantees the stability of the domestic market, and this is a leading enterprise that drives farmers to the market...... It does not conform to the principle of "profit-seeking" in the capital market, and if it is not "coming out", they will not even be able to suppress it.

However, for the predators of profit, as long as the interest is attractive enough, even if God favors them, they must find a way to bite into it.

As if he had made some decision, Pierre coughed lightly and said softly: "Although the suppression of Jiagu is not satisfactory, it has at least made Jiagu pay the price." I think it's time to get in touch with Kaya. ”

"Seconded!"

"I agree!"

"Agreed!"

All participants agreed.

If outsiders are here, they can find that the representatives attending the meeting are shareholders of a number of well-known large pharmaceutical companies.

Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Wyeth, UnitedHealth Group ...... Including DuPont, they are all core members of the pharmaceutical interest group!
