Chapter 461 - The World's Top Five Grain Merchants - Space Agriculture Group
Xu Fei finally divided Wall Street, as well as all the U.S. bonds in his hand, and loaned them to the investors of the space elevator in batches at a friendly price of 10,000 per day.
North America, including many Wall Street financial tycoons, who received the news, were all dumbfounded in the face of such an operation.
You know, U.S. debt is the money that North America owes to dog dealers, which is equivalent to an IOU.
Now the dog dealers take the IOUs and go to lend money......
Have you ever seen this kind of operation?
What's even more outrageous is that the lender got the 'money' and smashed the 'money' into the space elevator, that is, it was returned to the dog dealer, so that he had a high amount of principal and interest to pay every month.
Who are the capitalists?
Who is the source of all evil capital that should be brought down?!
Unfortunately, North American capital is also involved, including TEP Group, Morgan Consortium, Boston New Consortium, Carlyle Investments, Texas Consortium......
The North American financial tycoons, led by Wall Street, are unable to control these northern and southern capitals at all.
Against this backdrop, May 3rd.
Lan Feng, the person in charge of X City, held a press conference and announced the space agriculture plan extended from the space elevator project.
The plan is divided into three steps.
First, before June 1, Daze Construction will carry out emergency repairs to the damaged space elevator node, so that it can carry about 1 ton of materials.
Compared to carrying huge peacekeeping bombers, this is not too difficult to do.
Second, before July 1, Iron Sheet Agriculture will take out about 1 ton of excellent seeds for space breeding.
Third, before August 1, the United Front Work Department of the space elevator will successively send 200 hunting dogs to the space platform to be responsible for space breeding.
As for why not send a breeding expert......
Can breeders identify successful genetic mutations from tens of thousands of seeds in a short period of time, and seeds of excellent quality?
Definitely not.
But hounds can.
Because a dog's nose can smell a genetic mutation, just as a dog's nose can smell microorganisms.
When the 'three-step plan' is completed, it means that the first phase of the project will be completed by space agriculture, and then the second phase of the project will be carried out by the iron company, which is of a conceptual nature.
That is, to expand the space platform and farm in outer space.
Faced with such a crazy plan, the reporters on the scene asked a series of questions.
"Lan Dong, the cost of space farming is definitely greater than that of surface farming, and the area of space farming is far less than that of the surface. You invested in space agriculture to get a huge amount of cheap food to survive the food crisis, and now it seems that your plan is in serious conflict with the demand. ”
Lan Feng smiled slightly: "You have ignored an important spatial factor, or rather, there is an ancient legend in the East, called 'one year on earth, one day in heaven', that is, you spend a day in the sky, and a year has passed on the surface."
Although space is far from being so magical, for crops, growing in an environment that cannot be simulated on the surface, such as high-energy particle radiation, powerful cosmic magnetic field, highly clean vacuum filter layer, etc., they will have a 'superpower' after genetic mutation.
This superpower will prompt them to quickly absorb nutrients, quickly metabolize, grow quickly, and blossom and bear fruit quickly.
Like a pumpkin.
On the surface, they are usually planted in April, flowered in May, and matured in August, and weigh about 350g~5kg depending on the variety.
But in space, they don't need to be planted according to the season, let's say we raise the seedlings in May, they will bloom a week later, and the rhizomes will extend to 20 meters, because there is no gravity to constrain them, and the space environment has caused them to have genetic mutations.
And as long as the nutrition is sufficient, in another week we can get a pumpkin the size of a wheel.
Or wait a month and we get a house-sized pumpkin.
This is the difference between surface farming and space farming.
It can be said that by giving us three months, City X will solve the food problem faced by investors this year.
Give us three years, and City X will solve the food problem faced by investors in the future.
Give us ten years, X City will solve the world's food problem! ”
The reporters at the scene looked at Lan Feng, who was talking wildly, and for some reason, they seemed to see a dog dealer who bragged about his skin.
In the applause of reporters from Germany, Italy, Poland (pseudo), Libya and other countries, the English reporter raised his hand and asked:
"Lan Dong, if large-scale space reclamation is carried out, the amount of fresh water, oxygen, fertilizer, etc. required by the space platform is obviously not a small amount, and the larger the area of farming, the more resources are needed, and even proportional to the quality of the fruits produced, how do you plan to send so many resources to the space platform in a steady stream?"
Lan Feng: "I have already announced that Daze Construction will carry out emergency repairs to the space elevator, and the approximate process should be to install two conveyor belts for the space elevator.
In fact, many people don't know that the best technology of the iron sheet company is not materials, not OEM, not to raise dogs, but to transform conveyor belts.
In the past three years, a large number of conveyor belts have been used to reduce manpower or speed up operations at the Supply and Marketing Headquarters, International Cooperative Cooperatives, TEP Stores, RGB Stores, as well as the logistics distribution centers of the Daze Underground Passage and the Daze Industrial Park.
If we put two conveyor belts in the space elevator, with the thrust of the light energy track and the thrust of the electromagnetic pulse, and make it work, then we can hang the packaged resources on the conveyor belt and send it to the space platform without completely repairing the space elevator.
It may seem strange to think like this, but until the space elevator was built, no one believed that we would succeed.
So, the space farming program can be 100% successful! ”
Then.
Chile, which was successfully liberated by the TEP Group in just one day, notified the Chilean reporter based in X City to raise his hand and speak: "May I ask Lan Dong, is it too late to participate in investment now?" ”
Ingre: "......"
Canada: "......"
Austria: "......"
When did you turn against the water?
In silence.
Lan Feng ended the press conference, "Finally, I announce that the Space Agriculture Group was officially established, and the company has the investors of the space elevator, that is, one-third of the countries and regions of the home planet, and issued food security certification, grain import and export duty-free and inspection-free certification, grain priority procurement rights, etc. I believe that the birth of the world's fifth-largest grain merchant will greatly alleviate the food problem faced by our human beings. ”
More than 60 representatives of the space elevator investor applauded fiercely.
Ashkenazi allies, such as Italy, Libya, Balkans, etc., also applauded.
The representatives sent by the four major grain merchants all changed their faces.
Lan Feng's words have made it obvious that after the establishment of the Space Agriculture Group, it is very likely that the investor will no longer purchase food from the outside world.
In other words, about one-third of the countries on the home planet are about to end their cooperation with the four major grain merchants.
When they no longer cooperate with the four major grain merchants, it means that the future customers of the four major grain merchants are almost all developing countries or backward countries, that is, the poor.
What else is there to make from this?
Most importantly, the Big Four grain merchants could not borrow the power of North America to put pressure on the Iron Sheet Company.
"The dog dealer is so ruthless!"
"We shout that we never engage in business wars, but we directly plunder our market share from a higher level."
"But we can't use North America to put pressure on him, let alone stop this, unless Boom has a space elevator ......"
"Things haven't gotten to that point yet."
In the afternoon of the same day.
Daze, Xujia New Village.
Representatives of the four major grain investors, led by the controller of the North American ADM, came to the gate of the village chief's house in Xujia Village.
People don't need to look closely at the legendary threshold to see the magnetic card and card machine on it to know what it means.
Really.
After the ADM controller swipes the card, enters 1 billion US dollars, presses the OK button, and the door opens.
In the huge living room, the dog dealer is scrubbing a dog fur coat?!
The other party heard the sound of the door opening, turned his head and looked: "Yo, the distinguished guest is coming to the door, please take a seat!" ”
The ADM controller almost said, "Mr. Xu, who are you?" ”
"Oh, the skin of the vicious dog hasn't been washed for a long time, I'll take it off and clean it up."
“???”
As he spoke, the vicious dog with mechanical bones all over his body, carrying half of the dog's brain visible to the naked eye, carrying the pig's heart, dog lungs, and cow kidneys visible to the naked eye, came to everyone.
Of course, these internal organs are all packed in sterile containers, but the containers are made of translucent glass, including blood vessels, etc., which is a bit cautious at first glance, as if facing the 'biochemical monsters' in science fiction movies.
At this moment, the ADM controller finally understood why Morgan was huddled in the Great Lakes, ignoring what was happening in the outside world, and concentrating on cultivating the invincible battalion.
Because the world has changed.
And their generation is also old, and they can no longer keep up with the pace of world development.
"Mr. Xu, we are not enemies, and we are willing to donate a batch of food."
"I also think that we are not enemies, but the matter has not been discussed, I have to do something, so that you don't have to say that I am the strongest professional manager in the world."
"Mr. Xu, we have never denied your achievements in the field of business and economics, and we need to talk openly and honestly."
"Tell me what you want to talk about."
"This year's grain production has been reduced across the board, and the shortage of food in all countries in the world has become a fact, even if you do space breeding and space agriculture, it will take at least half a year, and we don't think that the iron company can grow the food needed by one-third of the population of the home planet within half a year."
"That's true."
"Therefore, our four major grain merchants can help the space elevator investors tide over the difficulties, and the condition is to maintain cooperation."
"I didn't finish what I just said...... It is true that space agriculture cannot grow a large amount of grain in half a year, but the agricultural reclamation in northern Mexico and the non-district agricultural reclamation have been relatively perfect, and in May, the agricultural reclamation in Kyrgyzstan Province and the Amur agricultural reclamation, including the East Siberia-Chukotka Peninsula, have begun to sow seeds. ”
Xu Fei said, lighting a cigar, "So, the initiative is mine, not you." ”
"Whatever Mr. Xu wants, just ask."
"Give me all the food in your hands, and we will carry out a world food co-ordination."
"Are you crazy?"
"Sending off!"
"Mr. Xu, we are here with sincerity!"
"If you don't hand over the grain, I don't see the slightest sincerity."
"You're a robber!"
"Bullshit, when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the East, I didn't see you call yourself robbers!"
Bang......
The mechanical vicious dog directly threw out the representatives of the four major grain merchants and the ADM controller, and slammed the door shut.
Xu Fei put down the cigar he was pretending to use and picked up the power bank with the communication function on.
The voice of the dog-headed military master came from inside: "Factory director, you are forcing them to a dead end, if they jump over the wall in a hurry, it will definitely cause us heavy losses." ”
"If we don't push them to hurry, who will burn down our farms? Who's going to Boom off the space elevator? If these two events do not happen, how can we be sure that the North American farm fires are their fault? And how to sit on the fact that the space elevator was also done by Boom in March? ”
"They shouldn't be so stupid."
"Don't use the thinking of Orientals to speculate about the way Westerners act, otherwise you will be very wrong."
"The problem is that City X has already deployed a defense system at the southern foothills, and they can't attack the space elevator at all."
"No, there is an opening in Xilu, that is, on the third brother's side, the four major grain merchants will definitely find the third brother to cooperate and launch missiles from the third brother, which is why I said that I would not agree to expropriate land from the third brother in the first place."
"Factory director, you are so resourceful at a young age, what else do you want our military division to do?"
"The home is so high-end, why should I buy a vase? It's just for the sake of looking good. ”
“……”
"Just kidding, as the saying goes, details determine success or failure, each plan sounds simple, but it is quite difficult to implement, including going to the third brother to investigate, collect evidence, and bribe the third brother's internal personnel, and urge the third brother to cooperate with the four major grain merchants, this is your job, hard work."
"The factory director works harder!"
"Don't work hard, fight for the rise of the East and fight for life!"
Division: "......"
After Xu Fei hung up the phone, he threw aside the space agriculture plan and turned on the TV.
Whether the space elevator is attacked or the four major grain merchants are in trouble, their ultimate goal is only one, that is, to develop space agriculture and take the opportunity to secretly assemble planetary engines.
Now that the plan is completed, whether they will become the five major grain merchants in the future, or compromise with the four major grain merchants and squeeze more benefits from each other, it depends on the meaning of Lan Feng and the military division.
After all, Director Xu is in a high position, so how can he have the time and energy to pay attention to this little thing.
Besides, if everything is done by the factory director, Lan Feng and the military division will do something.
Xu Fei took the remote control and switched to channel 18.
Today, May 3rd, the third day of the May Day Golden Week.
Affected by the flu, in the context of ultra-high-speed economic development, people who have all made money have not come out to play.
As a result, tourism has shrunk significantly this year.
But correspondingly, the 'iron homeland' built based on the township supply and marketing cooperatives three years ago ushered in a big outbreak.
Although people dare not go far away, the power bank has a 'regional joint prevention mechanism', as long as there are no outsiders in the local area, there is basically no need to wear masks in the local area, and there will be no flu.
Therefore, the locals who have jobs have nothing to do after the holidays, so they bring their wives and children to the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative.
After three years, the iron home is definitely more than 'clockwork biubiu balloon', 'clockwork sandbag into pocket', 'clockwork dart shooting wheel', 'mechanical war horse rushing', 'crazy mechanical swing hammer', 'pit daddy's clockwork car' and so on.
There are also the popular live-action CF, the remote control version of the mechanical Three Kingdoms Battle, the quack world (similar to the real-life version of 'Minecraft'), and the AR parent-child interactive aircraft battle, tank battle, super motorcycle, and F1 racing car developed based on the simulation warehouse......
But either way, it has to be coin-thrown.
The price is not expensive, you can experience it for 10 minutes for 1 yuan, and you can spend up to 6 yuan for an hour.
However, nothing can stand up to the 'huge base'.
Just like the supply and marketing microcomputer makes tens of billions of profits every day, these things are more expensive than the Internet, plus it is to make children's money, and the profits brought to the supply and marketing cooperatives are unprecedented.
Therefore, the supply and marketing system successfully stimulated consumption and stimulated domestic demand during the influenza outbreak.
It has really achieved the functions that the organization should have.
After reading the propaganda advertisements produced by the supply and marketing system in order to further stimulate domestic demand, that is, to attract more people to pour into the iron homeland, Xu Fei remembered the old lady of the council for some reason.
The old lady must be a smart person, since Lou Nannan became her secretary, the old lady took advantage of the old man's death, took the initiative to 'lie on the hospital bed', never got up again, and authorized the rights in hand to Lou Nannan in batches.
This is the main reason for the rapid development of the supply and marketing system, otherwise no one nods or signs, and the people of the board of directors and the board of supervisors will block themselves because of their own interests.
"Second sister, the old lady of the council has a few grandchildren, arrange for a few to be the boss."
"It's... The old lady had no grandchildren. ”
"Huh?"
"The old man was wounded on the battlefield of Beibang and was unable to have children, so he adopted a son, but later this adopted son died in the South Vietnam campaign, leaving no offspring."
Xu Fei was silent for a long time, "Let Lou Nannan stay with the old lady, maybe it's good to go on like this." ”
"I feel the same, otherwise the old lady would have been tired of lying down a long time ago, maybe she and her mother would have been in a relationship."
Talking.
The bottom of channel 18 scrolls to broadcast a piece of current affairs information.
On the evening of May 2, North American time, a manned space rocket was launched from the Houston Space Launch Center, which was invested and built by NASA.
The ignition went smoothly, the launch went well.
However, due to the unskilled operation of the engineer, the rocket was successfully lifted off, but he forgot to bring people.
In other words, the space capsule where the astronauts are located has been forgotten on the surface.
"That's outrageous!"
