Chapter 588: 15 Nation Grain Contract

A week later, the leaders of 15 "Weiyuan" countries gathered at Williams Royal Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the splendid hall, Henry spoke: "First of all, welcome to you. This time, 15 of our countries that have joined the 'Weiyuan' system have gathered together to solve the food problem!"

Henry's gaze looked around them, and he said lightly: "The combined population of the 15 countries is four or five hundred million people, and more than half of them are suffering from hunger. Although the Williams Empire can provide food, it is not enough to eat! Therefore, instead of importing food, it is better for everyone to be self-reliant and self-sufficient!"

The leader of the Democratic Republic of the Congo couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty Williams, the situation in our country, as you know, is that agriculture is developing slowly, and it is very difficult to be self-sufficient!"

"I know this, so the Williams Empire is willing to work with you to vigorously develop modern agriculture and increase grain production!" Henry said slowly, "Good seeds can grow good crops! Monsanto must have heard of it, it is the world's largest and most technologically advanced genetically modified seed production company. According to the special situation of African countries, Monsanto has developed four genetically modified crop seeds that are very suitable for African countries, including sweet potato, soybean, corn and peanut. If countries were to plant these four genetically modified seeds, the harvest would be two to three times as high as before. And at the same time, if you use the 'Jinkela' agricultural fertilizer additives provided by Monsanto for various countries, you can further increase food production!" Henry said that the San Diego Agricultural Group of the United States would not launch this "advanced technology to save the world's agriculture" - "Jinkela" until 2007, so Henry used the name first.

Africa's agriculture is underdeveloped, and there must be a golden slate!

Henry secretly laughed in his heart, the advertisement of "Jin Kela" in his previous life was extremely thunderous, it was simply thunderous, and Henry's stomach hurt with laughter. However, this gold is not the other gold and is completely genuine, and Tong Su is not deceived. Moreover, Henry did not exaggerate and boast, only that he could increase food production!

At this time, Henry continued: "With genetically modified seeds and Jinkela fertilizer, the agriculture of all countries will definitely develop very quickly! However, in view of the economic difficulties of various countries, I propose here a cooperation plan! Seeds and fertilizers can be given to farmers of various countries for free, but these farmers must sign an agreement that one-third of the grain harvest will be owned by the Williams Empire during the contract period! In fact, it is equivalent to the Williams Empire hiring these peasants to work on their own land, and the annual salary is two-thirds of the grain!" Henry paused and said with a smile: "In this kind of cooperation, farmers do not need to take any risks, and the more grain they produce, the more they will earn!"

An Ethiopian president raised his hand and asked, "Your Majesty Williams, how long is the contract?" Monsanto is a well-known grain seed giant in the industry, so there is no doubt about the quality of Monsanto's products.

"Ten years!" Henry said with 10 fingers open.

The 14 presidents looked at each other and discussed in whispers.

"Isn't 10 years too long?"

"yes, I think it's too long!"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

At this time, the President of Mozambique said to Henry: "Your Majesty Williams, we all think that 10 years is too long, 5 years is more appropriate, and after 5 years, we can consider renewing it!"

Henry squinted his eyes and smiled, what are the plans of these people, Henry knows it, it is nothing more than that the economy and agriculture will develop in the future, and they want to own one-third of the harvest.

"Okay, no problem!" replied Henry, cheerfully. Even if you don't renew your contract in the future, you will always need seeds and fertilizers. Accustomed to using Monsanto's genetically modified seeds and fertilizers, farmers naturally gravitate more towards Monsanto products. In the past five years, it is actually equivalent to cultivating users.

In this part of Africa, there is little arable land, few plains, and the farms have not formed a scale, and most of them are divided into some farmland for each family. If Henry sent someone to buy these farmlands, it would be too troublesome, with a piece of land in the east and a piece of land in the west, which would be difficult to manage. The way Henry is now proposing this kind of cooperation, which saves worry and effort, also promotes the product. The higher the grain output, the higher the peasants' income, so the peasants' enthusiasm for work is also relatively high. One is working for others, the other is working for yourself, which is obviously different. Of course, if the location was good enough to form a relatively large farm, Henry would buy it and hire workers to produce it to feed the growing population of the Williams Empire in the future. After all, now that only five-year contracts have been signed with farmers from various countries, and the situation in five years is still unknown, Henry still has to buy some farms in African countries to be prepared.

Seeing that Henry agreed so happily, the faces of the leaders of the 14 countries showed smiles. This kind of cooperation is a sure way for them. And for the Williams Empire, it's also to make money, a win-win situation for everyone!

"Presidents, as for the matter of signing contracts with farmers, it is necessary for all governments to take advantage of them and cooperate!"

"No problem!" the 14 people nodded their heads!

Henry smiled, "Alright then, let's sign the memorandum now, and then hold a press conference!"

"Good!"

……

In the evening of the same day, a press conference was held jointly by the 15 countries. At the press conference, Henry announced the grain cooperation plan of 15 countries, which could not help but cause an uproar.

The next day, global food prices plummeted.

The four major grain merchants were speechless, because Henry sent a large amount of grain to Africa, which caused a global food shortage, food prices skyrocketed, and the four major grain merchants made a fortune. But now, how can Henry Williams make money if he wants to increase Africa's food production and lower food prices?

Food-poor countries around the world are cheering. They may have cheered a little early, though.

Africa's food production is increasing at the same time as Africa's population is skyrocketing! Therefore, even if food production is increased, it will not necessarily solve the global food crisis. Africa has a very strong child, and a woman has an average of 4 children in her life. It's just that there are too many children to feed, and millions of people die of starvation every year alone. Taking the Williams Empire as an example, the number of newborn babies in 2005 was 7.48 million, and according to the survey statistics of the Ministry of Family Planning, it is expected that the number of babies born in the Williams Empire will even exceed 10 million in 2006! At present, the permanent population of the Williams Empire is as high as 98.31 million, of which 45.63 million are citizens with the nationality of the Williams Empire, accounting for half of the total population. There are many migrant workers abroad, but it will not be long before they will apply for Williams Empire citizenship, enjoy super high benefits here, and do not want to return to their own country, and at the same time, they will also take their relatives over, which will increase the population of the Williams Empire.

The more populous the Williams empire, the more children it would have. You know, the Williams Empire encourages childbearing, and Henry even plans to increase the population of the empire to more than 500 million! This is true of the Williams Empire, let alone other African countries. As far as Henry knows, the four countries that first joined the "Weiyuan" system, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tan~San~Nepal~Asia and Malawi are all experiencing a surge in population. The 10 countries that will join it will certainly see their populations explode.

If there were no world wars, Resident Evil and the like, the population of the planet would only grow. However, arable land is limited, production is limited, and the food crisis is still not well resolved. But, fortunately, Henry has taken precautions, has the Alien Planet Project, and is still actively researching space plant cultivation......
