Chapter Eighty-Four: The Black Ship
As a key link in this food war.
The Marcus, Aquino, and Hsu families in Luzon must work closely with ABCD.
They must increase their efforts to buy grain within Luzon, as well as the purchase price.
"Our family can help buy 1 million tons of rice and 2 million corn kernels." Xu Yingming expressed his opinion on behalf of the Xu family.
The Marcus family followed: "Our family can also buy 1 million tons of rice and 3 million tons of corn kernels. ”
Cairns Aquino considered his family's limits and said a more appropriate amount: "We, the Aquino family, will buy 500,000 tons of rice and 1 million tons of corn kernels. ”
Catherine and the others calculated for more than ten minutes according to the rating of the three families.
Together, the three will buy 2.5 million tons of rice and 6 million tons of corn kernels from Luzon.
But this is only an estimate, and once the purchase starts in large quantities, it will soon push up the price of rice and corn kernels in Luzon.
ABCD, on the other hand, only needs to push up food prices within Luzon, which in turn will prompt Luzon farmers to increase the planting area of rice and corn to cover up the problem of rising prices of fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural machinery.
But this wave of rise, Catherine's plan must be steadily advanced, and it cannot be rushed all at once, so that the Luzon farmers, the Fernando family, and the Lopez family can react.
Arrange the three compradors in Luzon.
Catherine also arranged for Tianzhu, Siam, and Annam, three rice exporting countries in Asia, to let these rice-exporting enterprises cooperate, reduce the export volume in the near future, and push up the price of rice little by little.
At the same time, they are asked to prepare for the next season of Luzon's rice harvest to ship tens of millions of tons of rice to weigh on global rice prices.
At that time, the Luzon farmers will definitely not be able to withstand this kind of loss under this huge roller coaster-style crit.
Although rice can be stored for a period of time, ABCD can keep these farmers from keeping up with the pace of food price rises and falls.
Small farmers and bulk countries like Luzon are basically at the mercy of the ABCD's internal and external attacks, as well as the three-plank axe.
After Xu Yingming made a statement, he sat in his seat with a smile all the time.
Suddenly, he noticed that Catherine's expression was a little wrong, and the hands that had been on the table, one of which had moved under the table at this time.
'Got it......' Xu Yingming estimated that the blood collection of mosquitoes had been successful.
The meeting lasted more than an hour.
After the meeting ended, Hsu Yingming and Cairns Aquino left together.
On the way to the guest room.
Keynes whispered, "Wise, I heard that you and the Lopez family are quite close?" ”
"It's just business." Xu Yingming replied blandly.
Hearing this, Keynes had a trace of displeasure on his face, and reminded with a smile: "Yingming, they will be finished soon, you have to pay attention to proportion!" I don't want to see you go the wrong way. ”
"Thank you uncle for the reminder, by the way, my family plans to make some investments in Borneo, is my uncle interested in cooperating?" Xu Yingming's eyes narrowed slightly.
Keynes showed an interested expression: "What cooperation?" ”
"Regarding the business of palm oil deep processing, Aquino is not in contact with the Malaysian Kwoks, when the time comes, we will go to Borneo together, and my uncle will help to make an appointment with the Kwok people to come out and meet, I just bought a cruise ship some time ago, and I also went to the vicinity of Borneo to play together for a few days."
Keynes didn't suspect anything, but he was not very familiar with Guo Zihao and Guo Zixiong brothers of the Guo family, and thought for a while:
"I know Guo Xianfu of the Guo family, and he and Guo Zihao's uncle are mainly responsible for their family's freight business."
Xu Yingming's smile became even brighter: "It's okay, as long as he can thread the needle and lead the needle for me, I will ask him to meet him in Kota Kinabalu, and I will prepare a gift for him on the cruise." ”
"Oh?" Keynes's eyes lit up.
Of course, Xu Yingming saw Keynes's hungry wolf-like gaze, this guy was a hungry ghost in color, and he showed an expression that all men understand:
"Uncle's share, I'm ready."
Keynes patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "It's all family, it's so polite." ”
When he arrived at his door, Xu Yingming and Keynes waved goodbye, and after closing the door, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
……
The other side.
Inside the Presidential Suite on the top floor of the hotel.
Catherine's four and Li Weixing were all present.
This is a more secluded meeting, where Victor, who had previously been in Bangkok and had been sabotaged by the stamp program, also appeared.
Li Weixing greeted respectfully: "Mr. Victor, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Victor, who was smoking a cigar, slowly took a puff of his cigarette: "Whew...... Lee, and Catherine, you'd better be careful. ”
"Oh?" Catherine looked at Victor in bewilderment.
And the big fat man James was even more surprised: "Mr. Victor, did you black ship find something?" ”
Victor nodded, and said with a cautious expression: "I have been busy with another plan in Siam before, and recently in the process of recombing the intelligence of various regions in Southeast Asia, I found that something was wrong with the situation in Luzon. ”
Wrong? Catherine, Li Weixing and the others suddenly fell silent.
"The 17 lookouts and 32 sailors planted by the black ship in Manila, Luzon are missing, and now only a part of the one-line contact is left, and there is no problem with the captain of the black ship in Luzon."
"Which side did it?" Li Weixing's face changed slightly, he was the second mate of the black ship on Sing Tao, and he couldn't help but be nervous about this kind of life-threatening matter.
Victor shook his head: "I don't know, these people are all missing in Manila, I used some of the converts' connections, not only did I not find the problem, but I also lost several people." ”
Catherine, who had her chin in her hands on her hands, looked at Victor and said: "The forces that can compete with you are the Cossacks and the Torch, the Cossacks have no influence in Southeast Asia, that is the Torch." ”
But Victor shook his head: "It's not a torch, although the last Mekong incident made the other side very angry, but this is not their style." ”
"That might be." Big fat James reminded.
Victor smiled and replied, "Are you doubting my major? ”
"I'm just talking about things, and you black ships don't allow others to give opinions?" James wasn't afraid of the other side.
Victor didn't want to entangle with this idiot, and continued: "Anyway, the current Luzon is very wrong, my intelligence force can't fully understand the forces hidden behind it, if you continue to carry out the plan of the food war, I am afraid that there will be uncontrollable factors." ”
But James didn't care: "Hehe, Victor, you overestimate Luzon too much, what are they going to do with us to go to war?" Even if some people want to get rid of us, we still have a lot of friends in Luzon. ”
Although Victor wanted to spray this big fat man, he didn't get any intelligence feedback now, and obviously couldn't stop ABCD's plan.
Of course, he also wanted to test the depth of Luzon and the forces hidden behind it through the hands of ABCD.
After exchanging some information, Victor quietly left the hotel.
Not far from the hotel, inside a small shop called Xinglong Grocery Store.
A gaze glanced calmly at Victor.
