Chapter 295 Hit the Chicken Blood Needle Again
When Li Yuan came to Liyuan's North American headquarters, it had also developed into a ...... of about ten people Small companies.
Sean trotted outside the door to greet you, "Boss, the new employees are looking forward to meeting you. The company's business is also normal."
"Is there anything I need to solve?" Li Yuan asked casually.
Sean smiled wryly, "Boss, even Erna went to the parallel. We're in the traditional produce business here......
In fact, in addition to chicken feet, the United States is a big exporter of agricultural products and seafood, and there is still a lot of domestic demand for imports.
But the profits of agricultural products and seafood are also like that. There are also many Chinese in North America, such as fish gelatin, hairtail, abalone, lobster, etc., so it becomes impossible to pick up such leaks. Unless there is a huge amount of by-products like chicken feet, there is always some market to be found.
So it's a very traditional small profit. Compared with the parallel lines, Sean is somewhat psychologically unbalanced.
Li Yuan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, you also have parallel equity incentives. According to the standards of the department manager, it will be the same as Erna in the future."
Sean looked happy, "That's great. Thank you, boss!"
Li Yuan continued, "I acquired a bank in Hong Kong. Previously, they only had a branch in New York, but now they are preparing to add a branch in Los Angeles. And the demand for agricultural products in China will increase, and you will become busier in the future."
Although Liyuan has slowly been deployed all over the world, the gap still needs the United States. There is no way to do it in a short period of time, and the sales network and logistics system are the most mature here. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy almost anything.
"Understood, boss." Sean personally made a cup of coffee for Li Yuan, "Mr. Reed has made an appointment, and he wants to visit you on a special trip."
Mr. Reed is the representative of the Southwest Regional Agricultural Association.
"What time is it?"
"Two o'clock in the afternoon. He's just asking you to have afternoon tea with you. There is an invitation from you in the evening. There was a party where Warner's representatives and Martin. Scorsese will meet you."
"Sean, did any other crews invite us to invest later? You should know that we have a bank behind us!"
In fact, as long as the Departed project is successful, there will be a steady stream of funding from Russia, Africa, India, and even Hong Kong. Hong Kong immigrants have run to everyone, if there is a chance, who doesn't want to go to the United States? Anyway, I can't keep the hearts of that group of people, so it's better to make a fortune myself.
And Could The Departed not be a success? Although the current Xiao Lizi is not yet red and purple, he still needs to change to other actors. But in the original history, Martin. Scorsese won the Oscar for Best Director for this film.
That's the Oscars! Not to mention the box office results, fame alone can shock a large number of people!
Who's to say it's not a good project?
However, Sean smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Boss, there are a lot of people who come to submit. However, there are no good projects at all, and there are very harsh conditions. They didn't even agree to a box office share, they were only willing to give a profit share. Oh, the full copyright in China is still willing to give us."
Li Yuan nodded, fortunately, Laiwu should not have accepted himself yet, they are still bullying outsiders.
"Don't let those who come to your door go. We are not afraid of small projects. In the future, we will build our own script library and send it to me as well." Li Yuan commanded.
"And what about the small investment in the box office?"
"You don't have to be proactive. If there is a suitable one, we will discuss it." Li Yuan said with a smile, "In the future, we will mainly platter ourselves. In terms of genre, it should also have its own characteristics, focusing on plot and action, and focusing on magic and special effects. After all, we have parallel lines, and the main focus is on the combination of film and high-tech."
In fact, in recent years, Hollywood has been one of Li Yuan's ATMs. By the time we enter the new century, the center of gravity of the metaverse will definitely shift to China.
Again, this is a problem of having both fish and bear's paws. As the most important tool of public opinion, China and the United States can only occupy one head. It's impossible to be the first to go to both ends!
Of course, there is no need to say more about these words to Sean.
"Sean, you're going to the party at night."
"Huh?" Sean was surprised and delighted, it was the high society of Hollywood.
Li Yuan smiled: "In the future, you will be the representative of our metaverse, and I will fight for a producer position for you in the crew. Also, you can get an assistant. "Vulgar" and "Forrest Gump" also need more attention there."
"No problem. Thank you, boss!" Sean's heart was beaming. is also a producer of a crew, although he is not the chief producer, he is nothing more than an errand boy in the production crew, but at least he will be paid.
No matter how low the salary of Hollywood is, $50,000 should be ...... Right? At present, the average income in the United States is just over $10,000!
Li Yuan continued, "Sean, I actually know that the chances of success in the United States are very difficult, and the internal competition is quite fierce. On the contrary, there are many opportunities to take advantage of the information gap in various regions. You can see this from the chicken feet business. And I have a channel between China and the United States, and the business opportunities from China are almost limitless. You follow me, and if you find any good opportunities, you can ...... them."
Hearing this, Sean was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "Boss, boss, I still want to grow up with Liyuan. Oh! And the metaverse."
Li Yuan laughed: "Let's talk about it then! If you want to stay, it's up to you. But I'm not trying to test you or anything, or to tell you that we're all companions. If you decide to start your own business in the future, I will help you as much as I can."
Li Yuan took another dose of chicken blood injection to boost the morale of the young man Sean.
On the one hand, Sean and Erna are both good. Not only did they sign up for community colleges, but they also signed up for Chinese classes, the kind of simplified Mandarin.
You should know that the current overseas Chinese training courses are still mainly traditional characters, Cantonese and Hokkien. On the contrary, simplified Chinese Mandarin is particularly expensive.
On the other hand, Li Yuan himself does not like to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Including a prickly head like Martin, his tolerance is quite high. Otherwise, with Martin's stinky mouth? I've been fried for a long time. Can't Silicon Valley poach people?
"Thank you! Thank you, boss!"
"Huh."

……
When Reed, dressed as an old cowboy, arrived, the two sat on the recliner on the rooftop, drinking beer and chatting.
One thing to say, the local agricultural cooperatives don't pay much attention to Liyuan. Everyone should understand the role of the European and American agricultural cooperatives, which are nothing more than non-governmental organizations for farmers to huddle together for warmth.
The energy of the agricultural cooperatives is still very large, and at least a certain number of votes can be guaranteed.
However, farmers in the United States are more struggling. Unlike the hard-pressed farmers of other countries, the distress of these farmers - there is too much land, and no one wants many agricultural products!
Agriculture in the United States is largely under the total control of the big grain merchants. The big grain merchants themselves do not farm, and many do not even have their own farms. But they controlled the upstream and downstream through the grain processing plant and meat processing plant in the regional center. Buy the farm at a low price and sell it at a high price in the supermarket.
In addition, through social organizations such as agricultural cooperatives, a fixed output is set for each farm.
It's very simple. If there is no fixed output, how can the big grain merchants raise prices? And if there are too many farm products in the market, why don't you pour milk into the river? Does wheat burn boilers?
Therefore, the biggest headache for American farmers is that there are too many vacant land at home, but the annual quota is only a small amount. Of course, if you're not afraid of losing money, then a variety of places are fine. As long as you have the ability to sell it.
Therefore, there are so many rotational cultivation of land in the United States, and they do not advocate fine cultivation, but pay attention to an extensive mechanized agriculture.
That is, there is its own national condition!
I won't go into detail about American agriculture here. But it's easy to understand that they're looking forward to a new sales market. No matter how small the chicken feet are, they are also meat!
"Li, whatever bulk farm products you need in China, we can provide everything here." Reed asked tentatively.
"There will be. Huh."
It is currently imported domestically
The amount of agricultural products is not large, mainly because of foreign exchange problems. However, it will grow at an astonishing rate every year since then, especially for soybeans, corn and other oil and fodder crops.
"Reed, what's going on your farm now?" Li Yuan asked casually.
"It's not good." The old cowboy bluntly said, "There are a lot of bankrupts. The farm's income has also been greatly reduced."
Li Yuan recalled the short videos of his previous life, mainly about the American economy.
In the seventies and eighties, the US economy was already quite bad, mainly affected by the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union.
In fact, in the fierce confrontation of the Cold War, the former Soviet Union had a hard time, and the United States had a hard time either. It's nothing more than who can survive to the end. Obviously, in the end, the United States won.
There are indeed political, economic, institutional, and popular reasons for this. But it is not as later boasted by European and American politicians, economists, or some domestic public figures – that is, the victory of democracy and human rights.
It still depends on the cohesion and willpower of the country and the nation.
Just like in the First World War, Germany was defeated, and the fuse was the uprising of sailors in Port Kiel. These are the standard answers in the history books, and you should know them.
But few people know that at about the same time, the French army on the Western Front also rebelled, and the soldiers were reluctant to continue this war to the death.
Of course, there was also the October Revolution in the former Soviet Union, which also stemmed from the despair of the whole people about the war.
No French suppressed the rebellion, but Germany did not resist it, and finally boiled Germany to death.
To get back to the point, in the early eighties, the United States was also in shambles. So the great commander Reagan continued to have a wave of blood, that is, the very famous Reaganomics. This includes the Plaza Accord and so on.

Always at the top of the list!
That's really a glimpse of the mountains, lonely and invincible!
However, Hawk-chan takes a nap and suddenly discovers that a certain hard-working rabbit has followed him and can overtake him at any time? Only then did I find out to my horror that the poor of labor and management were only left with money!
This phrase has no other meaning, it is literal.
In the face of a fat and strong world factory, what is the use of more money?
So Hawk-chan's face became full of horror, this is an opponent they have never met before!
……
But the macroeconomy is far away.
Until now, American farmers are having a hard time. Later, with the rise of China, a large number of overseas agricultural products were imported, coupled with the popularization of biofuels in the United States, the primary industry of the United States salted fish turned over, and the development was very good, and even the value of the farm rose sharply.
But now it's completely different, and it's in the throes of pain.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Reed, then we will strengthen cooperation in the future, and the agricultural products I need will be purchased from you first."
That's what Reed needs. He smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news. Lee, in the future, you'd better come up with a procurement plan every year, and we can arrange it to each farm in advance. In this way, you will be able to get the lowest price, and the farmer will get more benefits......
