Chapter 1402 The big surprise of the industry survey
In fact, it is not too difficult for Boss Qiao to solve the food problem of Ah Poor Khan in a short period of time.
But Aaron's information let him know that the food crisis was bound to erupt, so P¡ B is not just facing the problem of Aqiu Khan.
Libya, Central Africa, Iraq, Syria, P¡ In the B control area, none of them can achieve complete food self-sufficiency.
In particular, P¡ In the event of a food crisis, these countries that lack sufficient foreign exchange and have been neglected by the international community for a long time will surely starve to death in the surrounding areas of Central Africa, where the influence of Central Africa is most concentrated.
Just like in Sudan and South Sudan, if it weren't for a photographer who took a picture of a vulture waiting for a girl to die, people might not have realized that there is such a terrible place in the world.
In the 21st century, there are still people starving to death, probably the most unfunny joke in the world!
There is nothing Joga can do about the general trend, and the only thing he can do is to stock up on as much food as he can once he gets the news.
And this time he decided to spend the money of the European Union!
When the first pot of beef offal soup in the cafeteria began to emerge with aroma, Boss Qiao dialed Gami's phone and told the financial shark his thoughts, and then the two quickly reached a consensus......
Against the backdrop of the certainty that war will break out, the depreciation of the euro is almost a certainty.
Most people judge that the euro will depreciate slightly like other currencies due to the impact of the dollar's large deflation, and then the depreciation will be controlled as they raise interest rates internally.
But Boss Qiao feels that the EU is in a catastrophe this time.
What is the specific reason, it doesn't matter at all for a big shark like Gami, Boss Qiao is the first time to carry out large-scale loan financing, and he will definitely not lose money, so he doesn't have to think too much about it at all.
At this stage, P¡ Most of B's idle funds were sent to the United States to buy the bottom, and the capital chain was indeed a problem.
In P¡ In the context of B's taking over the Apoor Khan issue, this practice of pledging his own valuable assets to buy food in preparation for a humanitarian catastrophe is an act of Our Lady that will be widely publicized.
However, when Garmi checked the price of international grain, he found that Boss Qiao's worries and predictions may not be unfounded.
Last year, in 2020, the international price of wheat was US$305/ton, and this year the price of wheat suddenly rose to US$390/mt due to the artificial tension on the East W side.
And this price rally seems to have no intention of stopping, and it may break through the price of $400/ton at any time.
Last year, the price of corn was US$230/tonne, and this year it has risen to US$370/tonne.
Soybeans are even more outrageous, with the price of soybeans rising from $450/mt last year to $800/mt this year.
It is certainly not accurate to say that they are all affected by East W, but it is clear that some people are taking advantage of the opportunity of rising wheat prices to artificially raise grain prices across the board.
This is the usual routine of the United States, whenever they release water, international commodity prices will rise accordingly, so that inflation will flow to the world with food, crude oil, minerals and other materials.
This is an area that Boss Qiao can't intervene in, what he needs to calculate is the $7 billion in his hand, how many things can he do?
In regions where wheat is the staple food, the average person normally consumes about 250 kg of wheat per year.
Because there will be about 30% loss in wheat processing, that is, each person needs 175 kilograms of flour per year, and then combined with other foods, in order to be considered full.
There are 30 million people in Apoor Khan, which means that at least 7.5 million tons of wheat are needed to feed the people here.
Joga doesn't know how much of the problem can be solved by the wheat and barley produced by the Ajan Khan, and even if they have a shortfall of about half, at the current international food prices, they will need at least $1.5 billion to avoid famine here.
This is still just wheat, and if it is according to the standards of the United Nations humanitarian assistance, the cost will be about four times higher.
What's more serious is that Boss Qiao has to face not only Apoor Khan, but also Yemen, Somalia, Congo and other old and difficult areas.
It may also be necessary to import food to the countries surrounding Central Africa in order to stabilize the situation in those places and prevent a large number of refugees from rebelling and disrupting the arrangements he has worked so hard for so many years.
If you want to stabilize the current P¡ In the next two years, at least about 8 billion US dollars of food reserves will be needed to make the best response when the crisis comes.
Of course, this money cannot be paid by Boss Qiao alone, and Boss Qiao is not a savior.
In addition to international assistance, affected countries can also seek loans from international banks or seek food through material exchanges.
Every penny that Boss Qiao himself contributed, as long as it flows through the main humanitarian channel, will eventually be taken back through other means, including Ah Poor Khan!
Not sucking blood is already the accepted 'act of the Virgin', and it is impossible to lose money on the issue of food.
However, Gami had an insight into Boss Joe's thoughts for the first time......
Borrow chickens to lay eggs!
Borrowed from the old hens of the European Union, the eggs produced by grain processing and fertilizers in the figure below.
At that time, the depreciation of the euro will be equivalent to the EU's replacement of P¡ How much did B cost!
From Gami's point of view, in the case that it has been determined that the euro will fall, of course, it is how much can be borrowed.
Take advantage of the strong purchasing power of the euro at this stage to buy food supplies that will be used as ballast for the next few years, and finally withdraw funds from the United States to return them after the euro depreciates.
Making an exchange rate difference is only one aspect, and when you see that food prices are bound to rise, how can you be worthy of the title of financial shark if you don't make a big profit from the futures market?
How strong the execution of the financial shark is, ordinary people can't imagine it at all......
When Boss Qiao was eating offal, Gami had already contacted Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, French Rural Credit Bank, and HSBC......
The most financially valuable Cretan industry, the Mediterranean oil field, the Iraqi oil field shares, the Libyan oil refinery shares, and the Syrian oil refinery shares in the hands of Boss Qiao were sent to the desks of those banks and began to go through the mortgage procedures.
These are all high-quality assets in the true sense of the word, hens that lay golden eggs.
Just when Boss Qiao was eating breakfast and asked Qiao Liang if he could move some wheat from his old mother for his emergency first, Gami called him and told him......
"Boss, the loan thing is almost over, in the next month, we will be able to get a one-year loan of about 400~45 billion euros from several big banks.
I am responsible for the problem of food reserves, and I do not guarantee that I will make a lot of money from the food problem, but I can guarantee that no one will want to make more money from us than we planned. â
When Joga wanted to ask what was going on, Gami hung up the phone......
Joga came back to his senses and wanted to ask what was going on, but he was worried that he would be ridiculed for not being able to do anything, so he frustrated himself and called Chris in Southeast Asia to spray a series of expletives, asking him to find a way to buy a batch of rice in the Philippines and ship it to Tubrug......
Chris didn't know what was going on, and when he was weakly about to ask a question, Boss Qiao hung up the phone with a 'snap', and then looked at Qiao Liang, who was sitting across from him, and said with a smile: "As a big boss, if you are wronged, you have to find a way to get it back......"
Qiao Liang shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother, I don't understand, I don't dare to understand, I'm afraid that people will beat me!" â
Saying that, Qiao Liang seemed to remember something, and he said seriously: "Brother, do you still think that investing in agriculture is a money-losing business?" â
Joga listened, thought for a while and said, "If you only have $100 million in your hand, then investing in agriculture is still a loss-making business."
If you have $1 billion in your hand and a big brother with a hard enough fist, then the situation is a different matter. â
Saying that, Qiao Jia beckoned to Bayika in a good mood and motioned for another bowl of beef offal soup, and then he looked at his younger brother and said seriously: "The situation in Great Russia is not good, you will organize personnel to keep an eye on the situation in their country for a period of time in the future, and once there is a problem with their foreign exchange reserves, you will decisively take the dollar to buy the land in the eastern part of Great Russia."
This time, you can rest assured and boldly vote, as long as everything is reasonable and legal, if the Great Russian dares to repay the debt, I will be able to make them miserable.
In the territory of Great Russia, the population is concentrated in the west, and the east is vast and sparsely populated, so you don't have to worry about the problem of employment, and use all the technologies that smart agriculture should have, and completely reduce the cost.
If you can fill part of this gap, you will be able to leverage world food prices to a certain extent.
This is your best chance to develop smart farming! â
After saying that, Qiao Jia looked at Qiao Liang's smiling expression, he frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?" â
Qiao Liang was amused and said: "Brother, you have been asking me about buying grain just now, have you forgotten that we started agricultural investment in Brazil and Argentina three years ago?"
You still made me do it......
We are now the 19th largest exporter of soybeans in Brazil and the 6th largest exporter of sugar in Brazil.
The agriculture and livestock sectors we have invested in in Argentina are not yet profitable, but that is because of the Argentine economy.
Last year we produced 750,000 tonnes of barley on our farms in Argentina, as well as 7,000 cattle and 15,000 sheep......
Barley production is expected to rise by about 20 percent this year, and cattle and sheep slaughter will increase by 50 percent.
At the same time, Kaliang Trading is also one of the top five grain and fruit trading companies in Southeast Asia in terms of trade volume......
We are one of the top 3 fruit traders, number one exporter of canned fruits, number one exporter of dehydrated vegetables in China......"
Saying that, Qiao Liang looked at the stunned Boss Qiao, he laughed and said, "Big brother, I have been wondering just now, you are looking for food everywhere, why didn't you think of ourselves......
Now I understand, it turns out that you don't know at all!
Big brother, to put it mildly, that is, the people on the side of Aqiu Khan eat wheat and barley as their staple food, so we are still a little short.
If they are willing to eat rice, our brothers will be able to feed them through their own channels.
Sometimes you really should think about the ethnic makeup of your own territory......
We are now one of the top 20 soybean exporters in Brazil, and if they can be processed in-situ, soybean oil and soybean meal are very value-added products.
Soybean meal is a very good feed raw material for poultry and pigs, but most of your site is MSL......
They don't eat pork, and if they only raise chickens, the input and output are somewhat disproportionate. â
Qiao Jia looked at Qiao Liang with some incredulity, and said, "Your business is so big?" â
Qiao Liang spread his hands and said, "Big brother, how long has it been since you read the financial report of Jialiang Trading?"
Jialiang Trading's revenue last year was 143.27 billion US dollars, although with tax rebate benefits, the net profit was only less than 8%, but we are also a giant enterprise with a net profit of 10 billion yuan.
In addition to the grain and fruit trade in Southeast Asia, other agricultural investments are invested by me with 'Hongtongtong Intelligent Agriculture Company'.
These include grain and vegetable bases in Central Africa, soybean and sugar industries in Brazil, and barley and livestock farming in Argentina......
There is also some agriculture in the Sahel zone, although there is no hope of profitability for the time being, but the southern Sahel region has begun to produce output. â
Saying that, Qiao Liang looked at the stunned eldest brother, and said with a smile: "Brother, as long as you don't want to be a savior, no matter how the price of food rises, I can guarantee that no one will starve to death in your territory."
There is no wheat for rice, and it is really not good to have potatoes......"
After listening and digesting for a while, Qiao Jia looked at Dorian who was eating and drinking excitedly, and said, "Did you hear it, is my brother amazing?" â
Dorian smiled at Qiao Liang and said, "Our boss must be very happy, you said that if I remind him that there is better news, will he give me a salary increase?"
I've been stuck at level 29 for a long time......"
Saying that, Dorian looked at Qiao Jia and said, "Boss, have you forgotten that Louis Dreyfus Company still owes you an explanation......
You can't get food, can't they get it? â
Joga slapped his head hard......
"How the did I forget about them?"
Saying that Qiao Jia never mentioned the salary increase, he looked at several Apoor Khan government army officers at the Kandahar base standing not far away and looking at him, as if something was going on......
Boss Qiao waved at Dorian and said, "Go see what they're going to do?"
I'm going to call Pierre and ask for an account......
Fuck, Louis Dreyfus doesn't have enough liquidity, food must be enough, haha......"
