In the world of capital, the so-called corporations are just tools for capitalists to make money.

And tools, basically, have a service life.

Therefore, when the company's surplus value is squeezed cleanly, no matter how big the company is, even if it is the world's first, it will follow in the footsteps of Enron, Lehman Brothers, North American WorldCom, Chrysler Sr., and countless other super enterprises.

When he ran for governor, his purpose was like Romney's most famous phrase: 'I am an investment in being governor, and if I don't make a hundredfold or a thousand times more during my tenure, they will laugh at me and call me a loser.' ’

As a result, Bain Capital has become one of the world's top three investment advisory firms.

Therefore, Carlyle Investments has not only successfully ranked among the world's top ten armed companies, but also become a leader in the world's investment industry.

In the past ten years, Carlyle Investments has won B2 orders, 900 M8s, missiles needed to fight Iraq in North America, ammunition supplies needed to fight Afghanistan in North America, supply orders for keyhole series satellites, and purchased abandoned fighters from Davis's Mount Mon base at low prices, and sold them to Poland (East), New Zealand, and Canada at high prices......

In addition, it has invested in the Hound Dog Breeding Base, Leifei Technology, and Leipufei Technology......

It can be said that Carlyle Investment has reached a height that most companies may not have reached in a hundred years in just ten years.

At the same time, it also means that Carlyle has offended many people, depleted its reputation, and led to a significant reduction in the life of the company.

To this end, Xiaobu used the Carlisle consortium to dismantle Carlyle's investments, transfer high-profit industries out, transfer debt-ridden industries in, and plan to file for bankruptcy.

Thereinto.

A lucrative business like raising a dog must be transferred to its own name.

A profitable deal like Lei Fei Capsule naturally had to be transferred out, and it was finally given to the three shareholders of the Carlisle consortium - Raymond.

A lucrative deal like underwriting mechanical and electronic pet dogs also had to be transferred out, and finally gave it to the Harden family, the second shareholder of the Carlisle consortium.

Like underwriting graphite X, underwriting wingsuits, underwriting civil mechanical exoskeletons, underwriting children's electric vehicles, underwriting 3C network services, etc., such a profitable business still has to be transferred out, and finally given to the Lao Bu family.

Of course, all of the above belong to the Carlisle consortium, and to whom or not is only given management rights and dividend agreements.

The remaining industries and businesses, such as the hundreds of billions of R&D expenses owed to the iron company, the R&D expenses of Leifei capsules, the share of graphite X, the share of wingsuits, etc., must remain in Carlyle for investment.

As for whether it makes sense to do so.

As the head of North America, Xiaobu thinks that reasonable is enough.

It's a big deal that the plane hits the building again, and the account book of Carlyle's investment is reimbursed.

……

In the face of Xiaobu's inaction and the decision to 'Xiaobu quit the white house', the four major grain merchants were disappointed and helpless at the same time.

Because Xiaobu, who retired to Texas, is equivalent to the same soil emperor, sitting on the support of the Texas state capital, the Texas National Guard, the vast majority of farmers, and the Texas consortium.

Although its influence is not as strong as that of the 'North American governor', its power control is much higher than that of the North American governor, and it can even influence North American decision-making through the 'state'.

Of course, the four major grain merchants did not know that the people who were about to run for election were Klin, Pupp, and Romney.

These three people, one is darker than the other.

For example, Klin's death list is known as the shroud of politics.

For example, Romney's wild road is more slippery than the North American manager.

For example, the super soldier Pupu, everyone knows that this corn head wears a pair of pants with a dog dealer, otherwise where would he get the honor of world orator, and where would he come from the Libyan battlefield to win all battles, let alone qualify for Pupu International Hotel Management Group.

It can be said that no matter who takes office, the situation of the four major grain merchants will not be better than now.

However, the situation on the home planet is extremely complicated, even Morgan is no longer involved, and even Xiaobu has to retreat to Texas, although the controllers of the four major grain merchants are at the top of the pyramid, they can't see through the future at all.

In the end, the negotiation was not resolved.

Half an hour later.

The four major grain merchants left the White House and gathered at the Wharton Grand Hotel, which is controlled by Judgy.

After discussing with each other for a while, they soon unanimously decided to put pressure on Xu Fei through the east.

Everyone doesn't understand Qianlong, Heshen, and even less Shunzhi and Dolgon, they only know that the East is different from North America, and that there is the official standard.

Xu Fei's position is nothing more than the person in charge of foreign trade with the most favored nation treatment, the first person in charge of the Youth League, and the director of the Red Flag Factory.

Replaced in North America, even if it is superimposed, it is equivalent to a department head at most.

As long as everyone shows enough sincerity, I believe that Dongfang will definitely be helpful.

Moreover, what the four major grain merchants want is a compromise, not a quarrel with dog dealers.

Donating 500,000 tons of food, it is estimated that no one can refuse.

……

On the other side, the capital.

The on-site video of the Zeshi International Conference Center was also projected on the super-large XLED conference screen.

The deputy directors who have been turned regular, and the new batch of board members, in the face of the incomparably strong and adults, only sighed and opened their eyes.

In other words, their own camp is accustomed to being subtle and tactful in communicating with the outside world.

And adults should be the first person in recent decades to come up with tough measures to put pressure on the outside world.

So much so that Uncle Sun was extremely excited, Lan Dong was quite proud, and the old lady of the Supply and Marketing Council even sat up from the hospital bed.

Suddenly, the deputy secretary hurriedly walked into the conference room.

"The leaders, ADM, Cargill, Bunge, and Louis Dreyfus, called the office separately and said that there were some things to talk about, and they could also make profits."

"It's being pressed." After the deputy Dong sighed, he was indifferent, "Food is a red line that cannot be crossed, especially for us with a large population, it is the top priority, no matter how much they give in profits, we can't talk about it." ”

There is one sentence that Deputy Dong didn't say, that is: He has become half of Dolgon.

It's not about rights and armaments, it's about youth groups.

When these mass groups were taught to each other, no one expected that the giant youth league education foundation would develop.

No one would have thought that today's young people are all trendy, all positive, and all advocate making the East great again.

It seems like a good thing.

But those who have experienced 'history' are all shocked.

Because it's so familiar.

If you replace the bronze badge on your chest with a bust, and then replace the three bars on your arms with red armbands......

Who doesn't have a numb scalp?

Especially the street lamps in the capital are still so high, so thick, and so bright......

……

Wharton Grand Hotel.

The four major grain merchants in power have received replies from the East one after another.

The four letters, the content is quite subtle, the words are extraordinarily euphemistic, and the text is so long that the translator read it dozens of times, and finally did not understand it.

"It seems to be perfunctory to us."

After the ADM rulers finished speaking, it suddenly dawned on them, "Like Xiaobu, they don't want to meddle in this matter." ”

"Obviously, there's something in this that we don't know." The Bunge ruler spoke.

Cargill in power: "The world situation is complicated, the invasion of microorganisms in West Asia, the strong rise of Germany, and the construction of shelters in the East, leaving aside what we don't know, what I can be sure of is that the price of food will definitely rise sharply in the future." ”

"What about us?"

"One of us, go over in person, talk to the dog dealer again, if it happens, everyone will be fine, if not, we will raise the price of food to the highest point."

The ADM ruler nodded, "Then I'll do it." ”

……

Zeshi, International Conference Center.

Xu Fei's interview with the four major grain merchants lasted only one morning.

In the next few days, it is equivalent to leaving room for the four major grain merchants to consider.

Wait until April 12th.

The ADM rulers arrived in Ze City.

Xu Fei adhered to the host's concept of hospitality and personally rushed to People's Square to greet him.

The two sides showed their faces in front of the news media and revealed some inside information to each other.

For example, the meeting went very smoothly, and there is a possibility that world food prices will fall.

For example, regardless of whether iron agriculture can buy grain or not, it will take out at least 1.5 million tons of rice to support the war-torn areas in West Asia.

For example, grain production in the northern hemisphere has decreased, but grain harvests in the southern hemisphere have ushered in a bumper harvest.

In short, the world is normal, stable, and peaceful.

When the two sides entered the international conference center one after another, a new round of talks began again.

Xu Fei: "Actually, my requirements are not high, I just hope that the mother planet, which is full of storms and storms, natural disasters and man-made disasters, can pass this period safely, after all, the people live on food." ”

"Mr. Xu Gaoyi, our four major grain merchants are also willing to pay, but your requirements are too high, and we can't take out so much grain at all." After the ADM ruler finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Fei to speak, he continued: "In this way, Mr. Xu, we will take out 1 million tons of grain and donate it to West Asia in your name, what do you think?" ”

"1 million tons? Now wheat is 5 cents a catty, a ton of 1,000 red banknotes, 1 million tons x 1,000 red banknotes, about 1 billion red banknotes, or 120 million US dollars. ”

"How much does Mr. Xu want?"

"300 million tons of wheat."

The person in charge of the ADM was slightly stunned, and said in disbelief: "You really have so much food when we have it?" You know, wheat has a shelf life, even if we have the technology to extend the storage period, there is no guarantee that it can be hoarded for more than 5 years, plus rotation, loss, accidents and other factors, we hold up to 210 million tons of wheat. ”

"Really? You can disclose the location of your granaries, and after a while, I will rob all the other granaries, so that I will not injure you. ”

“……”

Xu Fei looked at the other party and didn't speak, "Actually, we can talk openly, let's put it this way, Debei needs food, as long as you sell it to me at a low price and let me complete the KPI, if there are any good projects in the future, I will give priority to you." ”

The people in power in the ADM have seen too much of the 'pie painting' and are used to hearing the 'empty promises of the capitalists', so they are unmoved, "Mr. Xu, we really can't get so much grain. ”

"So, that means we're going to have a broken down?"

"If you plan to cause a fire in North America, a seaway blocked by the Maliu Route, or a general strike by farmers in South America, we will bear it, even if you carry out it, including attacking and killing the senior officials of the four major grain merchants, we will bear it, and we will not retaliate against you, let alone publicly announce anything."

"So, you're going to go along with it?"

"We have no choice."

"Looks like I'm going to be a villain once."

Xu Fei looked at the ADM authority with a 'victim' expression, and nodded slightly, "Send off guests." ”

……

North America, White House.

Xu Fei's negotiations with the four major grain merchants failed, and the North American top brass gathered to discuss what might happen next.

Although Xiaobu has decided to quit the White House, it is only April, and it is almost a year before he runs in November and leaves in March next year.

Just like the labor model Director Xu, take a day's money and do a day's work.

In any case, Xiaobu also has to consider the interests of North America, although this North America contains too many chaotic people.

He was the first to speak, "In terms of business competition, Xu Fei has hardly used despicable means, and his best operation is to use new materials and new ideas to create new products, and then ban old things, but these methods cannot be applied to the food field." ”

The head of North American commerce nodded, "Unless he invents a new 'grain', but this obviously can't happen." ”

The head of the North American Economic Commission: "In this way, it can be determined that food prices will inevitably skyrocket in the future, and even rise through the sky because of the retaliation of the four major grain merchants." ”

Xiaobu: "It is necessary for us to buy a batch in advance, or store it for our own use, or wait for the price of grain to rise before reselling." ”

The North American executives who participated in the meeting, after a little thought, all agreed.

Soon, the House of Representatives drafted a procurement bill for the purchase of 60 million tons of wheat, 200 million tons of soybeans, and 40 million tons of corn.

Half an hour later, the Senate deliberated, the North American Supreme Court looked at it, the white house signed, and the bill passed.

Meanwhile.

Oriental, Wajima, Nanbangzi, Nanyang countries, European countries...... Procurement copywriting has been formulated.

The four major grain merchants, who control 90 percent of the world's grain trade, are certainly overjoyed, and even deliberately delay, waiting for grain prices to skyrocket.

On April 20, the price of wheat rose from five cents a pound to five cents and a pound.

On April 25, the price of wheat rose to six cents.

On April 30, wheat prices broke through record highs and reached seven cents.

Correspondingly, the price of steamed bread has also been reduced from four per dollar to three per dollar, two per dollar, or even two per dollar, and the steamed bread began to become smaller.

On May Day, countries around the world protested against the practices of the four major grain merchants and negotiated with them.

It's a pity that it's useless.

In particular, there were indeed fires on farms in North America, and the Maliu Shipping Channel was blocked by giant ships, while South American farmers saw that international food prices had skyrocketed, but the price of grain purchased by their own families remained the same, as someone said, there was indeed a general strike......

……

May 1st, Daze, the workshop office of the iron sheet company.

The second sister looked at the news and asked curiously: "Factory director, we obviously didn't do this, why did it happen?" ”

"Because the capitalists smell money from these things."

After Xu Fei's negotiation failed, he was not discouraged at all, but smiled every day with a smile of 'the director of the factory has a little trick, and the enemy will be hooked'.

"But the factory director, we still can't buy food."

"Why buy grain? Is it that the yield of genetically modified soybeans is not high in the Mobei Agricultural Reclamation Project? Or is the GM corn not yielding much? Or is it that the yield of conventional soybeans and conventional corn is not high in non-district farming projects? ”

"This ......"

"We control one-third of the world's arable land, which is equivalent to one-third of the world's annual grain production, and if we want to have a food trade war, we can win anything."

"Then why are you doing this?"

"Because I want to be the fifth largest grain merchant in the world."

Xu Fei said, turning on his laptop to check out his family's farm in outer space after the successful commercialization of the space elevator project.

Thanks to the Base Module, as long as you have enough metal in your base, you can build unlimited platforms on your own.

At this moment, a green platform shrouded in translucent metal, with no edge visible at a glance, appears in front of you.

The eggplant here is up to a meter long.

The watermelon here weighs 100 catties.

The pumpkins here look like houses.

The wheat here is as large as a peanut.

This is space breeding technology.

In other words, under the action of microgravity and complex magnetic fields, and the baptism of cosmic rays, seeds can easily complete the 'genetic mutation' that the laboratory can do in every possible way.

These mutations have led to the rebirth of seeds, and most of them have evolved in 'good directions', such as faster ripening, stronger disease resistance, and significantly higher product quality.

If we add the RNA technology of the citizen hospital to intervene in the growth of crops and the pollination of crops from the 'messenger' level, the overall effect will be increased by N notches.

Therefore, science and technology are really the primary productive forces.

After Xu Fei watched it, he switched the screen, found the two space dogs who had been hungry for a week, took pictures and videos, and then hurriedly sent delicious food and drink to the dog uncle.

Then upload the video to his personal feelings, "It's another big trouble, after the space elevator was attacked, the staff who landed in space to open up the space station returned, but they forgot about the two brothers, and now the space platform is facing problems such as food shortage and oxygen shortage." ”

On the same day, the Deutsche Space Agency decided to carry out a space reinforcement in the spirit of humanitarianism.

That is, to bring back the two space dogs.

This move has been supported by all dog lovers around the world, and even donated money.

Yet the next day.

Not long after the successful launch of the manned space rocket, the German astronauts took pictures of two dogs farming on the space platform before arriving at the space platform.
