Chapter 215 Human blood steamed buns, don't eat them.
Now that the input to agriculture has been increased, there is no doubt that the information provided by Filson now shows that the peasants are not so easy to manage.
William White knew very well that in the next few years, there would be a wave of crazy prices for food.
"I still don't want to, I'm a public figure anyway. If what you say becomes a reality, you don't know how many black buddies will starve to death. ”
"Ahem, boss, it doesn't seem to be directly related. Famine in Africa has little to do with food. Filson had a constipated expression, Nima, as if you never dared to do bad things.
"Differently, I don't care how many people die, it's just that starvation, it's so cool. There may be tens of thousands of ways to die in this world, and the last thing I want to see is starve to death. ”
Well, what Filson didn't know, William White did have a psychological shadow. A few years ago, Athena showed him a picture of a vulture waiting for a child to die.
To be honest, he was stimulated. Although he wanted to say that the child was lucky, because a reporter passed by and not only filmed the scene, but also saved the child
When the photo is in the newspaper, it will naturally be noticed. If nothing happens, that child should have survived.
However, looking at his daughter's clear glasses, he really couldn't say such a thing. It wasn't the picture that defeated him, Athena was kind, which was very good. Kind children need to be encouraged, and he promises his daughter that he will definitely help those poor children.
Now, if he goes to speculate on high grain prices, not to mention anything else, he will not be able to deal with this psychological shadow in the first place.
Ahem, you're too pretending to be 13. Don't you need to be so compassionate, you're just a businessman?
Although this is a bit mean, it also shows a fact. When your wealth reaches a certain height, there is really no need to make some hot money.
"Boss, you're just a businessman. ”
"Hehe, okay, Filson, I won't hide it from you, I promised Athena to give those children some help.
As you've seen over the years, most of my philanthropic aid has gone to the International Food Programme ......."
"Ahem, boss, with all due respect, it's impossible to change something with or without your involvement. ”
"So, I really saw that, and I didn't get involved. William White shrugged, somewhat disapproving. As a large farmer, it is the right thing to lock in profits from short selling papers, and if you do the opposite, the price of grain will not rise unilaterally.
He William White, what a market now. You don't have to guess, there will be a lot of followers.
This Nima, if the price of food rises too much and too fast, he can be regarded as lacking great virtue. At the moment, there may not be anyone who says that you are investing legitimately.
But if someone leads the rhythm, his William White character will suffer a heavy blow.
Don't doubt it, this is definitely a high probability event.
There are keyboard warriors everywhere, and the higher you are, the more they scold. Don't say it, you can't really take it seriously, maybe that's what they're expecting.
In order to be famous, you can go to the porcelain president, in this strange country, there is a lower limit at all.
"Well, boss, we're not involved. However, it seems that there is no need to lock in the price now. ”
"Well, naturally, it's a pity that there aren't enough people, otherwise, we can cultivate more land. ”
Filson smiled and didn't speak, and it was clear that he didn't recommend doing that.
There are many farms in Texas, but they are not suitable for large-scale cultivation.
The natural conditions in Texas are relatively harsh. Not only is there a lack of water, but there are also many extreme climates, and hurricanes and tornadoes come and go around every year.
There is also a big problem, and that is the population. After the Civil War was lost, Texas' agriculture changed from planting to aquaculture.
Without it, the black buddies were all taken away by the Yankees. I heard that freedom was given, well, freedom to fight desperately in sweatshops.
If there is not enough labor, of course, you will have to herd cattle.
After so many years, the trouble that the Yankees have brought to the South has not improved over time.
What, rescuing the black buddies from the sea of suffering seems to be a big problem. Tsk, what can be said about this, isn't Lincoln a god because of this?
Think too much, this benevolent brother, against slavery itself. In his opinion, this is a ridiculous system. Human beings are inherently equal, and it is clearly immoral for one person to enslave another.
Well, this is all, and history forces him to make a choice, either admit defeat or fool more cannon fodder.
Of course, this guy is also quite kind. Knowing that the promise cannot be kept, isn't that one more Liberia?
It's pretty much the best land in Africa, easily accessible and easy to cultivate.
However, this is also thinking too much.
The famine in Africa, William White can turn a blind eye and donate a little food at most. You say that performance art is okay, and you say that it is okay to be kind and charitable, but it can't solve the problem, but it can wash the dirty soul.
This is the extreme, manipulating the rise in food prices to force more people to go hungry, but this is something he is unwilling to touch.
First of all, he is greedy, but the benefits he can get from this are not enough for him to ruin his reputation.
A noble man, a man detached from low tastes. Such a character was built at a great cost to William White.
Ahem, these are also, and it is true that he William White is a big farmer. However, his main business is beef products and alcohol. The top ten farmers in the United States, he is not next to each other. If the price of food is rising, the one who makes the most money will definitely not be him.
You also think too much about making wedding clothes for others. If you can, it's only right to bankrupt this group of old people.
Even with mechanized farming, Texas still lacks labor. Life on the farm is monotonous and boring, and no matter how high your wages are, young people don't want to come.
With a third of their income, they work happily at McDonald's. If you want these guys to drive a combine, that's too much to think about, it's completely impossible.
In that case, is it still necessary for William White to eat human blood steamed buns?
Is it necessary to be completely wooden?
At the right time, you can even shed two crocodile tears.
"Filson, I've thought about it, even though it's not reliable to drill wells in Africa.
Still, you might as well take that plan. I'll see if I can change the name to a suitable one.
For example, the rain god plan or something, the name you made is really very old-fashioned, okay? ”
"Ahem, boss, I know, I'll let the planning department know. Filson was still sighing just now, and his boss was really a little girly. It's just about making money, and it has something to do with morality.
When he turned around and heard this, he flashed his old waist. He figured it out, the boss doesn't look down on these interests, and at the same time, he doesn't want to affect his personality.
But what do you want to be so famous?
If you want to be president, you might as well dispose of your own house.
Filson, of course, would not have known that with the popularity of the Internet. Knowledge and information are no longer resources in the hands of a few. At that time, the rich and unkind buns usually don't end well.
Conversely, if you are a person who actively cares about the vulnerable.
Hehe, a lot of things will be a lot easier.
