Chapter 197: Food War

Talking at the dinner table is a unique way of emotional communication in China.

Zhao Jiangchuan arranged a meeting with Ye Tan at the Pujiang Hotel in Hongkou.

Pujiang Hotel is a century-old hotel in the true sense.

It was founded in 1846 (Qing Dynasty??) Daoguang 26 years), formerly known as Licha Hotel.

Founded by the Westerner Licha RICHADS, it is the first Western-style hotel in the country since the opening of the Magic City, and is known as "the famous landmark building of the Magic City" and "the first store in China".

On February 21, 1882, the Danish Great Northern Telegraph Company opened its first manual telephone exchange in Shanghai, and the Pujiang Hotel was the first to connect.

This is the first public telephone to be connected in China.

In 1901, the first electric light in China was lit at the Pujiang Hotel.

After a hundred years of vicissitudes, the Pujiang Hotel has witnessed the tribulations and glories experienced by the magic capital in the Bund for a hundred years.

As soon as you get out of the hotel, you can see the famous Waibaidu Bridge, and in the hotel room, you can see the beautiful scenery of the Pujiang River.

A century has passed, and the architecture of the Bund has retained its original appearance, but the interior has long since been transformed.

Only the Pujiang Hotel, even the wooden floor from more than 100 years ago has been preserved intact.

If you want to greet people like Ye Tan, Pujiang Hotel is naturally the best choice.

The largest private room in the hotel.

Zhao Jiangchuan and Ye Tan smiled at each other and shook hands.

"Boss Ye, I'm really sorry this time. You are a senior, and I should have gone to Ningbo to visit me, but the company has been busy recently, so I bothered you to make a trip, Jiang Chuan felt deeply ashamed. ”

"Where is Zhao Gongzi, what boss and predecessor are called by others, Zhao Gongzi is young and promising, and he can take time out of his busy schedule to entertain Ye, and he has already given Ye a big face. ”

After some polite words, the two sides sat down in priority.

As soon as he saw Ye Tan himself, Zhao Jiangchuan knew why Zhang Hua said that he couldn't bear it.

Ye Tan thirty exits.

Dressed in a white coat, he looks quite elegant.

This temperament does not seem to be a bigwig fighting in the financial market, but like a Confucian businessman.

But Zhao Jiangchuan could feel that there was still a domineering spirit in Ye Tan.

Despite that domineering, it was covered up by Ye Tan's dress.

When Zhao Jiangchuan looked at Ye Tan, Ye Tan was naturally looking at Zhao Jiangchuan as well.

Young, elegant, and personable.

This is Zhao Jiangchuan's thing above the surface.

But Ye Tan only saw arrogance and domineering.

Unabashedly domineering.

The locations in the box are clearly prioritized, and they are obviously deliberately arranged.

Zhao Jiangchuan sat on the main seat unceremoniously, without any pushing, and his domineering momentum was not hidden.

What an arrogant young man.

However, Ye Tan didn't care.

There is no one who can control countless capitals who is not extremely arrogant.

The efficiency of the restaurant is very high, and not long after everyone has sat down, all the meals are served.

As the intermediary of this meeting, Zhang Hua naturally became the escort.

He picked up the wine glass on the table and toasted to the people on Ye Tan's side from time to time.

"Boss Ye, you are a guest from afar, so Zhang will do it first as a respect. ”

"Mr. Zhang Hu, I have heard of your name when I was in Jinhua, come, we are all our own family, I Zhang will give you a drink." ”

Zhang Hua toasted like wine, and the people on Ye Tan's side were naturally not to be outdone.

Zhang Hu picked up the wine glass, stood up and raised his hand towards Zhao Jiangchuan.

"Zhao Gongzi, I, Zhang Hu, a rough person, won't say anything good and obedient, but the operation of the amphibole on G Fenjiu, Zhang admires it tightly, I salute you. ”

"Mr. Zhang Hu, we haven't finished drinking yet, you don't give me face for Lao Zhang, we should continue to drink this glass of wine." ”

“…..”

Under Zhang Hua's encouragement and protection, Zhao Jiangchuan was stunned and didn't drink a glass of wine.

After discovering this, Ye Tan couldn't help but squint his eyes.

It's terrible to be able to harness.

Zhang Hua's disciple Ye Tan had already understood that after more than 30 years of rolling and crawling outside, he was simply an old fox who couldn't keep his hands.

But such an old fox was taken under Zhao Jiangchuan's command.

Not only that, Zhang Hua's awe of Zhao Jiangchuan can be detected by Ye Tan.

The constant fight for wine and bad wine is almost like a desperate effort.

Zhang Hua is his own family knows his own affairs.

Zhao Jiangchuan doesn't like to drink, he knows it, on this occasion, since Zhao Jiangchuan didn't take the initiative to take the cup, then he can only take it all.

Even if you drink to death, you have to take it all.

Who made him not resist Ye Tan's pressure, and finally agreed to go back to be a microphone.

After three rounds of drinking.

Zhang Hua and Zhang Hu both drank and their eyes were red, and even Ye Tan was respected several times by Zhang Hua for various reasons.

It's just that Zhao Jiangchuan still hasn't drunk a glass of wine.

The main and secondary are clear, and the winners and losers are clear.

In a small fight, Zhao Jiangchuan's side won completely, and Ye Tan's side was completely suppressed.

It seems to be just a wine fight, but it is not a confrontation between Ye Tan and Zhao Jiangchuan.

For the purpose of this meeting, even if no one mentioned it, the two of them knew it.

Everyone wants to gain the upper hand, everyone wants to take the initiative.

From the time Zhang Hua conveyed Zhao Jiangchuan's meaning, an invisible confrontation began.

It's a pity that from the moment Ye Tan decided to come to the Demon Capital, he had already fallen behind.

However, Ye Tan is very human after all, and now what he is looking for is a united ally, naturally the stronger the ability, the better.

Therefore, Ye Tan didn't plan to hide anything anymore, he went straight to the point.

"Zhao Gongzi, I think you have already guessed the purpose of my visit this time. ”

"I can guess one or two, but I still need to make it clear from Boss Ye. ”

"Recently, the red beans on major exchanges have been stirring up, I don't know if Zhao Gongzi has paid attention. ”

Red beans, Zhao Jiangchuan really didn't pay much attention.

Recently, his energy has been focused on the stock market and dark water, and he has not invested much energy in the futures market.

It was nothing more than the occasional collection of information from the Ministry of Intelligence, and he looked at it more or less.

However, Zhao Jiangchuan guessed that since Ye Tan mentioned red beans, there was naturally a reason, and he just had to listen to it.

Ye Tan has not been paying attention to red beans for a day or two.

It didn't take long for Ye Tan to explain the current situation of the red bean market.

The rhetoric was quite fiery.

It seems that Japan is very dissatisfied with Japan's desire to destroy the red bean variety by suppressing the market with funds.

After understanding the current situation of the red bean market, Zhao Jiangchuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

For him, this routine is all too familiar.

Food wars.

A term that few people have ever heard.

Even in later generations, many people have not heard of the war between agriculture and grain.

Later, in the understanding of many people, Huaguo has always been a big agricultural country, and it seems that there is no longer a need to die because of a bite of food like people in the sixties.

Only those who came from the countryside knew that in the next ten or twenty years, countless types of crops disappeared in the land of China.

It wasn't until 95 percent of soybean consumption in the entire Chinese market was imported that people realized that soybean cultivation in China had been completely destroyed.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

It was at that time that people knew the words "food war".

On the face of it, international food prices in the global agricultural trading system are entirely determined by market supply and demand.

However, the agricultural market in countries such as the United States is highly monopolistic.

The cooperation between the USDA and multinational grain traders is also very tacit.

Another important hidden killer is Wall Street's investment giants, with several multinational corporations dominating the pricing power of international agricultural markets.

Eighty percent of the world's grain trade is controlled by the "ABCD", one of the four major multinational grain merchants with a history of 100 years.

They are ADM in the United States, Bunge in the United States, Cargill in the United States and Louis Dreyfus in France.

With the advantages of capital and experience, these four multinational grain merchants have completed absolute control over upstream raw materials, futures, midstream production and processing, brands and downstream market channels and supply.

These multinational grain traders have worked strategically with U.S. biotechnology companies to monopolize various global food supply channels.

From soybeans to oils, from oils and fats to okara, from finished grains to grain seeds.

Relying on price and technology and under the pressure of capital, the countries led by the United States have monopolized the food that people must consume.

The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants.

If farmers can't make money or even lose money every year, will they still plant?

Of course not.

Due to the cost of planting, under the pressure of price and production, many countries around the world have completely destroyed the area of grain cultivation.

In its place, there are high-rise buildings.

Relying on government subsidies and ultra-high yields, U.S. agricultural products are exported to any country in the world.

Not only that, but even the grain seeds of many countries have been choked by major biological companies in the United States.

Nuoda Huaguo is no exception.

More than 95 percent of soybeans are imported every year, corn distiller's grains, rapeseed cake, oil and so on.

Even wheat and rice, the staple grains on which they depend, are stuck in the throat.

Kissinger once said: Whoever controls the grain controls the human race!

Sadly, when the United States will also achieve a global monopoly on grain seeds, many people have voiced their approval.

Genetically modified.

A high-tech biotechnology.

Through the modification of biological genes, genetically modified crops reduce pests and diseases and enhance their resistance to natural disasters......

The benefits are numerous.

But the seeds used to produce genetically modified crops can only be propagated for one generation.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible for farmers who buy genetically modified seeds to select a part of the harvested crops as seeds.

From ancient times to the present, farmers have been able to select a portion of the harvested crops as seeds.

When all the grain becomes genetically modified, the original seed will disappear completely.

The economy is the driving force behind everything.

The purpose of monopoly is achieved by suppressing market prices in the form of capital, using the economy to destroy each other's crops, and expanding the scale of production.

Ye Tan didn't finish speaking, Zhao Jiangchuan already knew what kind of war Red Bean was.

This is similar to the later soybean extermination war.
