Chapter 65: The Man Who Did the Dirty Work
When Wang Yongyuan talked eloquently about the respect for the trade union and the respect for the workers in the financial column of the TV station, there were already a group of uninvited guests from the United States at the airport in Australia.
These uninvited guests are the people Wang Yongyuan transferred from the United States to do dirty work.
There are whites and blacks, but there are no yellows.
Their arrival did not attract any unusual glances, and no one would suspect that they were going to do something bad.
When Gu Mu and Wang Yongyuan were still in Australia, they did not do anything bad.
They didn't come together, everyone had a different identity, and their origins weren't in the same place, making it difficult for outsiders to connect them.
After Cornucopia Mining made it clear in an interview with Mr. Wang that they wanted to communicate, management and the union quickly reached an agreement to stop upgrading the company's mining machines.
And in order to apologize to the employees, the management also decided to give them three days off with pay.
The unions won an overall victory, and the workers had no need to worry about losing their jobs if more efficient machines were introduced.
So it was suggested that such a holiday be used to celebrate in the city.
The proposal was well received, and more than 200 employees, led by the unionists, went to a nightclub in the city.
On the same day, there was a big explosion at that nightclub, and the entire building where the nightclub was located was razed to the ground in an instant, killing countless people.
When Gu Mu received the news, he had already completed the inspection of several industries in the Maple Leaf Country and arrived in the United States.
It's been a week later.
He saw the news online.
The death toll above reached a jaw-dropping number, which also made him even more afraid of Wang Yongyuan.
Hundreds of lives, many of which had nothing to do with that incident, were also buried there.
It's really killing people without blinking.
Human life, a living human life, is just a number in the eyes of this old man.
Killing a bunch of people is like playing a game.
Such a person terrifies him.
He didn't dare to tell anyone about this pressure.
He didn't ask Wang Yongyuan if it was Wang Yongyuan's doing, but after discovering from the report that there were victims of more than 100 employees of the cornucopia mining company, he could be sure that Wang Yongyuan did it.
Wang Yongyuan has also invested in some mineral resources in the Maple Leaf Country, where the largest investment is a potash fertilizer plant, and most of the potash fertilizer produced is also shipped to China, and some is transported to Africa, with considerable efficiency.
There is also a tungsten mine, a nickel mine, and several large forest farms.
The country is the second largest country in the world in terms of area and rich in natural resources, but its population is only 30 or 40 million.
Most of the time, though, it's very cold, and many places aren't inhabitable.
Gu Mu stayed there for a few days and was very disgusted.
Although this country is known as a developed country, in Gu Mu's eyes, it is a big countryside.
This country borders the United States, basically standing on the same front, and can even arrest people who do not have any criminal records in their country for the benefit of the United States.
There are quite a few Chinese immigrants there, and there are also many who study there.
After staying there for a few days, Gu Mu's feeling was cold, and then it was cold.
Because of the political climate, the people there are not very kind of people with Chinese faces, even the yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana people are very unpopular in their eyes.
In contrast, the situation is not so serious in the United States, which has been arguing with Huaxia non-stop.
Wang Yongyuan originally had some properties in Chinatown, including hotels, underground casinos and bars, but it was not a very clean industry, and there were a lot of people who helped him do the dirty work, but he didn't bring Gu Mu there.
In his plan, Gu Mu should appear in this world as a clean identity in the future, and those unclean industries should not be contaminated.
He has already assigned another person to be responsible for the property there, and he will not have anything to do with Gu Mu in the future - at most, there is some incense there.
When he dies, some of the industries there will be completely cut off from his business empire, and will no longer have anything to do with it.
He took Gu Mu to several farms.
In terms of natural environment, rice country can indeed be regarded as the chosen country, although the land area is not as good as China, not as good as the woolly bear, but its arable land area is the first in the world.
Not only is this country the world's most technologically advanced, but their agriculture is also the world's first.
There are many countries where farmers are unemployed because of the cheap food provided by this country.
In the trade war between the two countries a year ago, China controlled the import of rice's grain, and rice controlled the import of China's industrial products, as if all of a sudden China became an industrial power, and rice became an agricultural country.
In fact, this country is a big agricultural country, but the number of farmers is not large, and the strength of their agriculture comes from the advanced technology and equipment, and from the scale.
There are about 160 million hectares of arable land in this country, and only about 2 million people are employed in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and their per capita arable land is 80 hectares.
The total area of cultivated land in China is about 130 million hectares, and after these years of industrial development, although the number of peasants is not as exaggerated as the legendary 900 million, there are still 200 million or 300 million.
If China wants to carry out large-scale agriculture, it does not have the conditions to do so, and once it is implemented, a large number of peasants will lose their jobs.
There are high subsidies for farming in rice countries, and if there are no various agricultural subsidies in it, many farmers will still be unprofitable to farm.
The total amount of agricultural subsidies given by the United States in a year is almost 100 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to an average of 100,000 US dollars in agricultural subsidies for each farmer.
But most of those subsidies fell into the hands of farmers.
Wang Yongyuan has received a lot of agricultural subsidies for farming in the United States over the years.
Being a farmer in the United States is definitely a very happy thing.
Wang Yongyuan still had nearly one-third of his assets in the United States half a year ago, but after the transfer of assets in the past six months, only a few farms are left in his hands.
He was really reluctant to sell these farms.
As an older generation from China, his fascination with land is deeply rooted in his bones, and he is really reluctant to sell so much fertile land.
- And if you want to sell it, you can't sell it at a good price, especially when China restricts the import of American agricultural products.
So he decided to keep the farms.
