0465 Mi Guo is forced to admit reality
"Ladies and gentlemen, less than five minutes after the paper appeared in the Huaguo section of the Star website, the futures market of the world's agricultural products was smashed all the way down by a large number of short orders. Futures prices for all agricultural products, whether staple or supplementary, have fallen by 30 to 50 percent. That's it, there are still not many people taking orders. The price of goods in the cash market also had an avalanche, falling by more than 20 percent in an instant. As a major grain producer, the economic loss of rice exceeded 80 billion yuan in just five minutes. And now, the losses are growing. President Payne said with an extremely serious face.
"What's more, those grain merchants are so eager to get rid of the grain, and even sell it at a loss. They are also not afraid that the paper on the Chinese section will publish fake news, so that they will suffer losses in vain in the end. Vincent, assistant to the president, cursed maliciously.
Secretary of State Banks and CAI Director Hawes glanced at Vincent a little speechlessly. How could this guy say such childish things? Is it possible for the Star Group to tell a lie?
If something so unbelievable hadn't happened to the Star Group, they might have thought it was fake news. However, with database technology and human potential development technology in front of us, and people can even squeeze life pheromones out of rocks, what is the point of discovering a new substance that helps plant life grow?
Although the paper said that the effect of this new substance was too miraculous, with the nature of the Star Group, it should be eight or nine without ten. Even if it doesn't achieve the effect stated in the paper, it is definitely not far off.
"Vincent, those grain merchants are doing the right thing. If that paper is not wrong, then the future of human beings on the earth will eat new agricultural products with super high nutritional value. If they don't sell their grain now to recoup a little of the cost, it won't be of any value at that time. It is not even valuable as livestock and poultry feed. Because at that time, the livestock and poultry may also eat a new type of forage with super high nutritional value. Payne said with a wry smile.
"At that time, the nutritional value of livestock and poultry meat products will also increase many times. Think about the earth humans in this era, because of the emergence of the Star Group, how happy life is. Banksy was amused in his misery. "I've said before that the Star Group is the biggest destabilizing factor in the world. It's just a pity that their main body hides deep underground like rats. Otherwise, I will find them and strangle them mercilessly. Hoss said through gritted teeth.
This emergency meeting was not so much about deliberating on a response, but rather about them coming together to spit out.
As well-informed and experienced old foxes in the political arena, as soon as they saw the news of the paper, these people immediately knew that the news was absolutely true, and the food hegemony, which was one of the foundations of the hegemony of the United States, officially began to collapse.
Because of various factors, they have the most powerful military in the world, but they can't stop it at all.
Yes, not at all.
The only thing they can hope for is that the production cost of Element 17 I is not too low, so that it can only be applied to some high-value cash crops, and not to all agricultural products.
In this way, the grain hegemony of the United States will not collapse too quickly.
In any case, with the emergence of Element 17, it is only a matter of time before the food hegemony of the United States collapses. Because even if the price of element 17 I is high now, the price range is absolutely fast.
This can be seen from the price trend of modulated gastrodin and coralin.
When the price of gastrodin and coral first appeared, it was very expensive, and only a small number of people could afford to buy and use it. However, three months later, their prices have dropped to a level that most people on earth can afford.
With the lessons of the past, they can know that with the scientific and technological strength of the Star Group, as long as something comes out, it is very simple to optimize the production process and reduce production costs in the future.
What's even worse is that the Star Group seems to have a grudge against money, and the Bodhisattva who only wants to be 'Pudu sentient beings' will not have the slightest idea of hoarding and seeking huge profits. They are not at all the same as the capitalists.
"Forget it, Director Hoss, let's not talk such useless angry words. Now that the wood is in the boat, it is impossible for us to brazenly start a war because of this incident to bring our food hegemony to the end, right? But if we calculate that we want to start a war, who will we target? Targeting the Star Group? The headquarters of the Star Group is in the archipelago, but their real leadership has never appeared in the archipelago, and even Chen Yue has never been to the archipelago. At their archipelago headquarters, only George's lucky guy roams around on a yacht every day. Not to mention the fact that a big country will make people laugh at a company, Huaguo Star itself has no obvious bad deeds to speak of. In view of China, should China ban or expel China's starry sky? That is even more nonsense. If the scale is small, China can ignore it, and if the scale is large, it will easily turn into a full-scale war, and eventually turn into a nuclear war, and then we will hide underground and bet on whether we can hold on to the 'nuclear winter' on the ground?"
The central meaning of his words is one, for the No. 17 element I that shakes the food hegemony of the United States, although the United States is the strongest in the world, there is nothing to be done.
Banksy was right. The food hegemony of the United States is about to collapse, but because of various constraints, there is no way but to watch. All of this was in Chen Yue's calculations.
Food hegemony is important, but it is not as indispensable as military hegemony and energy hegemony. And as long as the military hegemony and energy hegemony of the United States do not collapse, then their core hegemony - the hegemony of the rice yuan can still be maintained. The loss of food hegemony only makes the rice yuan hegemony no longer so stiff. As long as the capitalists of the United States have not completely lost their minds, they will not take the risk of starting a war to mess up the earth. 、
The existence of the global hegemony of the United States is the biggest obstacle to Chen Yue's integration of the earth's civilization. Chen Yue has to uproot the four major hegemonic components of the United States one by one.
All along, Chen Yue has taken a relatively gentle and gradual approach. This time, the launch of Element 17 I also asked Xiaoqian to make a detailed assessment in advance, and determined that the situation would not evolve to the point of being out of control, so he resolutely carried it out.
As it turned out, the plan went right. The government of the United States took into account various factors and was forced to admit the reality. They can only swallow the bitter fruit of the imminent collapse of food hegemony, and do not make the worst decision to rebound immediately.
