For now, GM is the best technology to increase food production.

Perhaps in the future, low-cost soilless cultivation techniques may emerge. Humans have used the same technology to increase the yield per unit of land area by using three-dimensional cultivation on less land. But it is conceivable that mankind will not be able to find such a solution in 50 years.

And what happens if there is a shortage of food?

Do you still remember the "Arab Spring"? It is said that the self-[552] burning caused by the economic recession was the fuse, but the real fuse was the rise in food prices.

Those years were the most tense years since the world food supply entered the new century.

In those years, there were coups d'état in several countries in Africa over food and land.

As for the outbreak of that spring, it was not only because of the accumulation of a large amount of discontent in the long-term economic recession, but that kind of discontent can still be manpower under the teachings of religion. But rising food prices have created even greater pressure to survive, and even doctrine cannot stop it from exploding.

Many people are like that, as long as they live, they can endure anything or less. But seeing that I can't live anymore, how long will I have to endure it?

Therefore, if agriculture is not important, it is really not important in terms of economic status. But agriculture is the foundation of a country. Without safe agriculture, it is impossible for a country to remain stable, and military, brokerage, science, or politics are all just nonsense.

So regardless of the victory or defeat of GM technology in this debate. As long as Benehans can prove that its technology is harmless to humans and useful for agricultural production, it is very likely that it will be applied by various countries.

And he was confident that Benehans could do that.

Of course, the best outcome of the debate is the defeat of GM technology. Benehans' technology fills the gap.

As long as governments want to provide affordable food at home, and GM food is boycotted by the public, they will certainly accept the seeds provided by Benehans.

Of course, there are some things that he can't think too optimistic. He will not be too greedy, as long as he can grab a place in the world's agriculture, he will be satisfied.

With a foothold, anything is possible.

He looked at the documents for a day. Although there are arguments on the Internet that can refresh him, he still has a bit of a brain bloated when he is busy after several days of work piling up.

He walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of the office were facing the Ozette, so he couldn't see far – it was blocked by the forest of the Ozette.

He sighed, he had chosen the second floor as the headquarters of Benehans's company, and it seemed that he had chosen the wrong one.

He strolled upstairs to Neil's office.

Today, Neil wasn't even analyzing the old reports.

He laughed and said, "You can also surf the Internet?"

Neil listened to him, looked up at him, and said, "I know a little bit about everything except that I won't get pregnant!"

Link smiled and walked over to his desk and sat down, saying, "What are you looking at?

The Wall Street Times. Neil took his eyes off the computer, added. "I'm looking at the last two weeks. ”

He watches the news every day, but if he senses something, he will find a way to validate his ideas. And reading the previous newspaper is a good way to do it. Reading reports for a period of time in a row can connect the context of some information. He can see from it that the information is advertorial, and the information is true.

In his opinion, both advertorials and true reports are valuable. The premise of the existence of an advertorial is that you can accurately distinguish that it is an advertorial. Then you can analyze the purpose of the person who posted the advertorial through reverse thinking.

"What market did you find again?"

"No, it's just because I have time to exercise my analytical skills. "Neil did spot some market, but it wasn't worth the big move. "You know, in what we do, judgment is important. ”

Link laughed and said, "If you want to work, why don't you run an account yourself?"

"It's enough to have them. Neil shook his head slightly. "If I had done it myself, I might have influenced them. ”

Ozette is working with Snapton, and Neil hasn't given up on his job. He didn't dare to make a big move, but a dozen or so traders under him were working all the time, each using their own accounts to create profits for the company.

Speaking of Neil's work, Link remembered one thing: "What happened to GE's stock now?"

"We have achieved what we wanted. We are holding a position and other shipments at the right price. We can ship slowly, or we can clear the warehouse directly. What do you need me to do?"

Neil asked this question because he thought Link wanted to yin GE again. If they ship slowly, the most they can do is make a fortune. But if the direct liquidation does not cause GE's stock price to plummet, it will disrupt their layout.

Actually, Link just asked. Although he had a holiday with GE, he doesn't want to do much now. No matter what he does now, it is impossible to beat GE to death with a stick, or even make the other party move their muscles and bones.

He could indeed do something to disgust the other person.

It's just that if the other party is annoyed, you can also turn around and disgust him.

Although it is impossible to be friends with them, the peace that exists now is what he needs.

GE's "recovery" plan has the support of a consortium behind it. He is a small point compared to those conglomerates. Therefore, Neil did not dare to go too far even if he operated with GE's plan, and he would be a rat with peace of mind after collecting enough stocks. lest the other party become angry and recklessly target him.

"I just suddenly remembered to ask. But how high do you think they're going to raise the stock price?"

"I think they should be going to lift the stock price to between forty and forty-five dollars. Neil explained. "Only when their stock price is at that point can they balance their capital. For example, the debt ratio or something. ”

He paused and said, "Of course, our safest shipping position is between thirty-two and thirty-five dollars." ”

GE's stock price is on the rise, but it is also volatile. That's because the people behind GE need to recoup some of the money, and they will also ship at a high price to drive down the stock price, and then buy the stock when the price is low. And the rat barn is, of course, what they loathe. They will definitely find a way to get rid of the rat bin before the stock price is determined.

So Neil thinks that unless he wants to go long, he can't wait until the highest price.

Link listened to his explanation, nodded and said, "Your considerations are very reasonable. If we can ship it for thirty-two dollars, we will make a lot of money. ”

It's good to have a 40 to 50 percent return in a few months. If you want to double your earnings every time you are in the speculative market, it is highly recommended to buy a coffin first when you have money. Because people who do that usually don't even know how they die.

He smiled and asked, "Do you have any work plans for the near future?"

"No!" Neil asked after a moment's thought. "Which side do you think will win this debate over genetically modified technology?"

"It should be maintained for the time being. You know, Americans are actually very poor. They can't afford high-priced food. If GMOs are not available, many people will not even be able to afford to eat. ”

The United States remains the most economically developed country in the world. And Link said that Americans are poor, and Neil nodded in agreement.

He said, "You're right. So, there may be volatility in the biotech sector, but it won't be too much of a market. It turned out that he was considering the impact of this GMO debate on the stock prices of certain companies.

Suddenly, he asked, "Will Benehans go public?"

"Yes. But it's not decided yet. ”

"Before going public, can we let the financial investment company buy some of the shares first?"

Link was a little strange at his request, "Why?"

Neil explained: "I'm planning to absorb outside funding. If we want to be so big that no one wants to see us fall one day, we have to be big enough. You know, it's hard for us to be strong enough if we just rely on our own money. And if we want to absorb external funds, we must be attractive enough. ”

Link understands that what he means by "attractiveness" is the yield of the investment firm. The rate of return of a financial investment company requires a stable income for the companies he invests in.

As long as the rate of return of the financial investment company is high enough, it can attract all kinds of funds. If it works well, it can even absorb some social funds. Once those funds are added, the financial investment company will be stable. Because those funds are very wide-ranging, once the loss will be, the whole society will have a big mess.

For example, the two beauties of the real estate mortgage industry back then. The federal government has to keep them even if it goes bankrupt. Because once they are poured. The vast majority of Americans' homes are foreclosed.

Link thought for a moment and didn't insist on using only his own funds. It's just that although he is confident that Benehans will have a good performance, he may not be able to become a gravitational center to absorb external funds.

"You seem to have more confidence in Benehans than I am. ”

Neil tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't know how profitable Benehans will be in the future." But I'm sure its earnings will be stable. As you say, Americans are poor, to some extent. The vast majority of the world's population is poor. Food prices must be kept at a certain low level. The whole world needs Benehans. ”

Link laughed and said, "It seems that it is indeed like that!"

There is indeed more and more money in this world. Link doesn't know how other countries are, but he knows that Americans' affluent lives are actually artificially "made."

Not to mention the widening gap between the rich and the poor.

When prices rise faster than someone's income increases, that person is actually getting poorer. And the vast majority of Americans have already gone through it, and most of them are still going through it. Their salaries are indeed very high, and it is normal for families to earn tens of thousands of dollars a year.
