The United States is the world's largest exporter of agricultural products, and at the same time, the agricultural associations formed by the country's farmers are also quite powerful, and they are a fairly influential interest group in the US political arena. The United States, a nation of immigrants, was founded primarily on agriculture, and the vast expanses of fertile farmland on the Mississippi River nurtured this group of people. And several presidents of the United States are people in this circle, such as Washington, the father of the nation, Jefferson, the father of the Constitution, and James, the founder of the Monroe Doctrine? Monroe and the others were all from farmers.

Later, the Celestial Empire spent many years of hard work and squeezed into the WTO, but still did not fully open up its agricultural products. But by around 2012, the Celestial Empire was already importing large quantities of agricultural products to the United States, mainly soybeans and other grains. Compared with the obvious advantages of the United States, such as intensification, large land plots, and the use of new agricultural techniques, China's smallholder economy is unable to compete with intensive farming. Even if China imports large quantities, it will maintain 100 percent self-sufficiency in grain.

Then there are too many Chinese, agricultural products are not just food, and China's huge oil industry is basically relying on American soybeans. Northeast soybeans were defeated by imported soybeans in the 21st century, and there was even an embarrassment of selling soybeans under the banner of Northeast soybeans after importing soybeans.

Qi Yiming didn't have the ability to open up the ability of American agricultural products to flood into the domestic market like this, but he had other ideas at this time. Agricultural products such as soybeans and grains can actually be counted as minerals in the eyes of the Red Police Base, and these things can be directly converted into money that can be consumed by the base, making a large number of logistical supplies and even extracting organic matter for other scientific purposes.

Qi Yiming does not understand the operation mode of the mysterious base, but he knows that these agricultural products are one of the resources that can be consumed by the base, even if these agricultural products are sent back to China for deep processing into various non-staple foods, it is quite a lucrative thing, and now the domestic grain is still being rationed, in fact, it cannot meet the basic needs of the people at all, and the opening up of a large number of imported agricultural products, the country has no money first, and the second blow to its own agriculture is too great.

As for Qi Yiming's distribution of food to various troops, relying on the base's own cultivation consumes too many resources, and if a batch of agricultural products is directly imported for processing, it can reduce a lot of costs, and those that cannot be used up can be sold out. And with the ability of the base, with these grains or livestock, almost any necessities of life can be made. It can even be used to further synthesize base soldiers from these organic matter.

"It's hard for me to jump to conclusions about agricultural products, but there's still room for cooperation. Well, I want to import 50,000 tons of soybeans and grains into the United States this time, I wonder if this contract farming association is interested? Qi Yiming said.

The person in charge of the agricultural association narrowed his eyes with laughter, 50,000 tons is not a particularly large amount, but it is also a business of tens of millions of dollars, not to mention that this is only the beginning of the Chinese, the agricultural association firmly believes that as long as the Chinese market is opened, their agricultural products will have better sales channels and greater profits.

The person in charge of the agricultural association immediately pulled Qi Yiming and said: "No problem, we will prepare the grain you need as soon as possible, give us a quantity, and we will be able to send this batch of goods to Hong Kong across the Pacific Ocean in a short period of time." By the way, Mr. Qi, my name is Henry, and I am the vice president of the Agricultural Association. "At this time, China's other ports have not developed much, and the main window of China's foreign trade still depends on Hong Kong, a free port. After the rise of China's coastal cities, Hong Kong's status gradually weakened, and it became a resort for consumers relying on duty-free goods and a financial center in Asia, and the import and export trade did not have much strength.

Qi Yiming and Henry said: "We are willing to cooperate with the American Agricultural Association for some more in-depth and extensive cooperation, but this time I also have some small requests that I need your help. ”

Obviously, the agricultural association is hand-eyed, although the communication between Qi Yiming and Grumman is still confidential, but the vice president is clear, he showed an expression that I understand, and said: "Chinese friends want to buy our American fighter jets, this is to make the silverfish of the military-industrial complex rich, in your Mr. Qi's words, it is mutually beneficial and win-win, right?" We are also very willing to support the efforts of our Chinese friends in national defense construction, and please rest assured that the agricultural association will play a favorable role and do its best to promote this arms sales case. ”

Assured by Henry and the Agricultural Association, Qi Yiming smiled slightly and expressed his satisfaction.

After blocking several waves of capitalists who were like hungry wolves and full of thoughts about making Chinese money, Qi Yiming found his little girlfriend Jiang Huayan again. Dressed in a beautiful evening dress and her touching oriental appearance, this 21-year-old little flight attendant is like a little princess surrounded by a group of upper-class celebrities.

Obviously, the ladies were very interested in the clothes on her body, and asked her about the casual suits worn by Qi Yiming, and they were obviously very interested in the fashion of the Chinese.

Jiang Huayan was originally flying international routes, her English was not bad, and in the face of the siege of a group of celebrities, she was also a little stumbling, but fortunately, she always smiled and behaved politely, and there was no mess. When Qi Yiming found her again, the little beautiful flight attendant breathed a long sigh of relief, hugged Qi Yiming's arm and stuck out her tongue and said: "I'm almost tired to death, they are all asking where I bought my clothes from, which designer made your clothes, I will tell them nonsense, it is the company you opened." They also asked me what the name of the company was, and I could only say 'Qi's family'. Ah, and some people asked if the clothing store would open in New York. ”

This reminded Qi Yiming that the fashion industry is also a huge industry, and the clothes on his body are basically from the things recorded in the database of the Red Police Base, and the clothing factory of the base is cut and obtained. Thinking that the cost of a channel may not even be $10, and he dared to ask for $1,000, Qi Yiming felt that it was possible to build some fashion brands and then market them in the world, and he would not lose to the profits from selling arms.

At this time, a crisp girl sounded in Qi Yiming's ears, "Hello, Mr. Qi." ”

Qi Yiming turned around and saw an extremely eye-catching blonde. This beauty is not particularly tall, about 1.65 meters, and looks a little petite compared to American women with relatively large skeletons, with blonde hair in a peacock bun, and wears a black floor-length dress evening dress. Her face is extremely delicate, which is more in line with the aesthetic concept of the Oriental than the Caucasian with large pores, stiff lines, and overly concave face.

"Hello, beautiful young lady."

The blonde smiled and said, "I'm Jacqueline?" Morgan, from the Morgan family. ”

Qi Yiming was a little surprised, and said, "One of the seven giants of Wall Street back then, I really didn't expect to have this honor to meet you, miss." ”

Jacqueline shook her head and said, "Our family is gradually withdrawing from the financial industry today, and my family only owns a part of Morgan Stanley's shares, and we will never count on the crazy times of JP Morgan back then, and the US federal government will not allow it." ”

Qi Yiming knew that many of these old industrial and commercial families had declined. Morgan, like the generation he knows, may still be quite wealthy, but has basically withdrawn from the public business. After the end of World War II, the family system of American companies basically completed the professional management and stock diversification in the 70s. The modern business model has also changed from private family enterprises controlling everything to a high degree of decentralization of stocks, and then to large investment banks, funds and other entities began to concentrate equity again, so the consortium is no longer what a family says, and the core of the real consortium has become a commercial bank and multinational enterprises, and people have become the slaves of enterprises.

Jacqueline added: "So I'm just a child of a wealthy family now, and as you can see, I still can't achieve anything, but I'm very interested in the clothes you and your female companion are wearing, and I'm also a designer myself, I wonder if there is a chance for Lu Dao to form some cooperation with Mr. Qi on clothing brands?" ”

Qi Yiming nodded and said, "Why not?" After all, it is with great sincerity that I invite my American friends to China to make a fortune. But, Miss Morgan, I'm ready to hear your name and tell me a lot about the banking industry, but I didn't expect you to talk to me about the fashion industry, it's like a punch in the cotton, ha. ”

Jacqueline smiled slightly: "After all, my surname is still Morgan, if Mr. Qi wants to chat with some Wall Street gentlemen, I am happy to introduce you." ”

"Well, the U.S. government has promised me to contact a group of bankers to lend a low-interest loan to our country, and I may have to deal with them soon." Qi Yiming wanted to get some money from the United States, and with the profitability of various industries in China in this era, even usury could even be repaid, but the profits became foreigners. When Qi Yiming was working with the Reform Commission and the central government, he thought that loans could be made, but it was still not possible to fully open up the financial market. In fact, the United States itself has very strong control over the financial market, and it is extremely difficult for foreign-funded banks to enter the United States. On the contrary, only places like Hong Kong and Singapore will be more welcoming to foreign banks.

"The bankers' business can be put aside, Mr. Qi, I am looking forward to the cooperation on fashion, I wonder when we can have an appointment?" Jacqueline smiled.

Seeing this stunning white girl Qi Yiming, his heart beat a few times shamefully, and he said slowly: "Although I am the boss of this company, the designer and the factory are still in China, maybe Miss Morgan will be happy to go to China, we can discuss these things in depth." ”

Jacqueline agreed: "To China? Maybe it's a good choice, I've wanted to see 'The Great Wall' and 'The Forbidden City' for a long time. ”
