Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 239 Winter Vegetable Prices
North America, New York.

The U.S. stock market.

Old Smith lay back comfortably in a bamboo rattan chair, picked up a glass of 82 Lafite that was said to have been airlifted from Europe overnight, and took a sip.

"Very good!"

Then he signaled to his assistant, "My wife has gone to Hong Kong. Have someone send two bottles there by business jet. Keep them in the freezer. Make sure they don't break."

"Yes, sir."

"By the way, how are the preparations going?"

Upon hearing this, the assistant stepped forward and whispered, "David Ensger's fleet has already set off. Three sailing battleships and six modified ironclad ships are all equipped with new naval guns and medium- and long-range missiles that we secretly transferred from Israel."

“Are there any hidden dangers along the route?”

"We have funded the forces in Mexico and formed an armed smuggling ship, which is heading north from Mexico. The North American Coast Guard has received the information we provided and has already rushed over. Currently, David Ensger's fleet will basically not encounter any threats on its route."

"When will the fleet transporting Dagger stealth drones from the east arrive at the target sea area?"

"About two in the morning four days from now."

Old Smith nodded, holding the red wine glass and thinking for a long time, "Mercenaries are always unreliable. We should dispatch 200 black fat men... no, we should dispatch 200 Indian warriors, fully armed, to help David Ensger seize these drones."

"Yes, sir."

Old Smith was not worried about exposing the Smith family's plan.

Because this is a demonstration of force.

Let Old Bush see the fighting power of the Smith family.

That's why he used the fat black man sent by Yu Sanyuan, and didn't care whether he would be caught by Yu Sanyuan.

It can be said that the only thing Smith Sr. is worried about now is failure and being looked down upon by the military-industrial complex afterwards.

In deep thought.

Another assistant came hurriedly.

"Sir, according to reliable information, Bush sent Neil Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and others to form a luxurious team to go to Shiliying to negotiate with Sanyuan Agriculture."

"It's as expected."

Old Smith waved his hand nonchalantly, "Everything is proceeding according to plan."

"Yes, sir."

In fact, Old Smith had long predicted that Yu Sanyuan would create an opportunity for negotiations and take the opportunity to bring the Sanyuan communications network to North America.

Because Agriculture 3.0 is an agricultural platform built on the trade hall.

From orders from Class A customers, to investments from Class B customers, to planting by Sanyuan Agriculture, and then to delivery at the trade hall...it can be said to be a one-stop service.

However, this model has no basis in the East.

There is no significant effect for the time being.

Moreover, the initial investment was huge and the short-term returns were low, so now Yu Sanyuan has no money left.

under these circumstances.

Yu Sanyuan is bound to target the North American market.

Because the big farmers who own land and pastures are richer and more influential than each other, but also lazier than each other.

If Dongfang purchases, the farmers provide capital and land, Sanyuan Agriculture assists in planting, and finally completes the delivery and settlement.

During this period, farmers do not need to contact customers, hire people to harvest, or even take care of the farms for a few years, but they can still get more money every year than before.

Tell me, which farmer doesn’t like it?
Therefore, Agriculture 3.0 is most suitable for North America.

It will certainly get the support of big farmers.

At that time, Sanyuan Agriculture will collect service fees from Agriculture 3.0, purchase low-priced agricultural products, promote three-series seeds, three-series fertilizers, and three-series agricultural machinery, and then push all kinds of strange consumer products to farmers through the Internet.

For example, oversized diamonds, 82 Lafite, cool version of Old Man Music, high-end Galaxy business jet imitation...

It’s hard for Yu Sanyuan not to make money.

But if this happens, will ADM, the world grain trader controlled by the Smith family, still have a way out?

Do Bunge and Cargill, the other two global grain traders in which American capital has invested, still have a way out?
Therefore, old Smith was prepared to deal with it.

It will take the lead in leading the American capital whose interests have been damaged to expose the news that Bush allowed Yu Sanyuan to deploy the Peace World in North America through the media controlled by North American Jewish capital.

And not just one, but ten.

As for whether this news is too outrageous...

No matter how far-fetched it is, there are definitely people in North America who believe it.

As long as he believes it, Xiaobu will be criticized.

By then, under the deliberate guidance of the Jewish media in North America, public opinion and many North American capitals will all oppose it, and the Bush administration will not allow Yu Sanyuan to set up a secondary root server of the Sanyuan communication network in North America.

Without secondary root servers, Agriculture 3.0 will naturally not be able to enter North America.

"Oh, you want to use the Bush administration to kill me..."

Old Smith was holding up his red wine glass, feeling a little proud at first, but when he saw the fat black men surrounding him, he suddenly shuddered.

Damn, forget about this!

In other words, when Sanyuan Agriculture negotiates with the Carlisle Consortium, will both parties take "eliminating the Smith family" as the starting point of their common interests?
Or.

If Yu Yang uses the resources of Sanyuan Agriculture to eliminate the Smith family, he can successfully enter the North American market.

When Old Bull used the resources of the Carlisle Group to eliminate the Smith family, it was like taking away a burden from his mind.

If both parties reach a consensus...

Old Smith dropped his wine glass and rushed out of the office.

"Hurry, hurry, prepare the plane, fly directly to Han Gaixi!"

……

Yu Yang didn't intend to kill the Smith family.

One is that the other party formed an alliance with David Ensger.

This will be beneficial to the ultra-fast development of our overseas bases in North America.

Second, even if old Smith is killed, a new Smith will be born among the Jewish community in North America.

The two sides have been fighting fiercely until now, and have basically figured out each other's routines. If they replace one person, no matter whether the other party is talented or incompetent, it will disrupt their existing deployment.

Third, it is difficult for the company to launch Agriculture 3.0 in North America and make a lot of money, and it is even impossible to conduct business in South America.

Because three of the world's grain traders are from North America, the other party will definitely stop us at all costs.

Therefore, they requested to access the world Internet and set up servers in North America, just to show Europe and Asia.

"Look, the world's big brother, North America, has allowed us to deploy servers. Why are you, the European and Asian countries, blocking me?"

"This is my Yu Sanyuan's sword, is it not useful?"

...

Rumsfeld believed he saw through Yu Yang's intention, which was similar to what old Smith thought, that Sanyuan Agriculture planned to make money from North America.

It takes into account the threat of the euro and the importance of bringing the dollar to the East.

This means that Sanyuan Agriculture agreed to deploy servers in North America.

However, the graphics card matrix is ​​hailed as the nuclear weapon of the new era, and North America will definitely impose many restrictions on the ternary communication network.

Not only is only one deployment allowed, but it is also required to only access the main root directory of North American Business.com, and access to the North American military and North American official websites is prohibited.

Of course, Yu Sanyuan would definitely object. After all, many users in the Asia-Pacific region would occasionally go through the official North American website to handle immigration registration, asset transfer and other procedures.

therefore.

After lunch, the two sides argued for the whole afternoon.

Then we decided to talk again two days later.

……

The next morning.

Yu Yang threw the summary of the negotiation work to the boss.

Then he ran to another meeting room to sit in on the negotiations between the Vegetable Vendors Association and the vegetable and fruit farmers in Shouguang, Weicheng.

The reason was that in mid-January 01, the weather in the north became increasingly cold, and vegetable and fruit prices soared.

There was even a phenomenon where the price of green leafy vegetables exceeded that of pork.

To this end, northern provinces have successively released vegetable reserves.

But the north needs to consume 45 tons of grain, 80 tons of vegetables, and 12 tons of meat every day.

The northern provinces cannot release vegetable reserves every day.

Otherwise, by the end of the year, the government will have no more stocks and will no longer be able to suppress vegetable prices.

The vegetable vendors association, which cared about consumers, approached suppliers in the trade hall to negotiate price reductions.

However, vegetable and fruit farmers work hard all year long just to make some money at the end of the year. How could they voluntarily lower prices?

In particular, the prices of three-series seeds have increased, the prices of three-series plant-based fertilizers have increased, and the prices of three-series plant-based pesticides have increased... The planting costs are there, and it is even more impossible to reduce the prices.

So after discussion, both parties decided to ask their superiors for subsidies together.

The leaders in Beijing, eating the three types of vegetables after the price increase, listening to the complaints of the cook, or listening to the gossip in the office, suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Therefore, today's negotiations between the "vegetable vendors and vegetable farmers" are mainly with the commissioners sent from the capital to discuss how much subsidies to provide for vegetables, fruits and melons.

However, although it is called a discussion, it is actually just a unilateral listening to the arrangements of superiors.

"Yesterday, the purchase price of cucumbers in the trade hall was 1.5 yuan per catty, and the agricultural system subsidized 30% per catty... The final supply price in Shouguang was no higher than 1.05 yuan per catty, and the final retail price of the vegetable vendors association was no higher than 1.8 yuan per catty."

"Yes, leader!"

Whether it was the vegetable vendors or the vegetable and fruit farmers, they all nodded.

Yu Yang took the opportunity to check out the current retail price of cucumbers.

The further north you go, the higher the retail price is, starting at 2.3 yuan per catty and rising to 3.6 yuan.

However, after passing Shanhaiguan, the retail price starts to drop. Because of the cold environment in Northeast China, natural frozen cucumbers can be produced, with a maximum price of 1.8 yuan per catty.

All I can say is that prices vary in different regions.

Like in the south, the price of cucumbers is 0.6 yuan per catty.

However, when transporting cucumbers from the south to the north, there are only four green channels in China, leading to Beijing, Shanghai, and the Northeast. During the transportation process, you need to pay tolls at various toll stations, and there is also the risk of being robbed or looted along the way...

This means that even if the south uses three-series seeds and can use Sanyuan Pharmaceutical's transportation system, it is still difficult to transport fruits and vegetables to the north.

Unless green channels are implemented across the country.

Unfortunately, many superiors had different opinions on this issue, resulting in no conclusion after more than a year of discussion.

Fortunately, the high-speed railway came into being and broke through the transportation barriers between the north and the south.

Once completed, trade between the north and the south will be interconnected, and people's tables will be more abundant.

As for the subsidies given by the superiors...

To be honest, the price increases of three-series seeds, plant-based fertilizers, plant-based pesticides, and northern fruits and vegetables are all driven by Sanyuan Agriculture.

Because the printing presses were running at full capacity, the over-issued blue Great Man banknotes... no, red banknotes, now the one hundred yuan note has turned red.

These over-issued red banknotes must be distributed eventually.

So the question is, who should we send it to?

Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen are definitely prioritized.

They may allocate funds for construction, transfer payments, or invest in the stock market so that stockholders can get dividends...

As for other places, I guess I won’t get much.

After all, these three cities must be developed first.

So, they cry, make a fuss, and fight.

Therefore, there are subsidies for vegetables, fruits and melons.

Of course, during this process, the trade hall did not release inventory from its cold storages and refrigerated warehouses in surrounding cities and counties.

Only 15 tons of vegetables are put on the market every day.

After the contract is signed and stamped by the superior, the vegetable and fruit farmers will receive the subsidy booklet.

The trade hall will open cold storages and freezers in batches, releasing 130 million tons of vegetables, 60 tons of fruit, 40 tons of meat and aquatic products, and 800 million tons of watermelons to the market every day.

And it lasts until the 20th day of the first lunar month.

This ensures that during the Spring Festival, the vast majority of Eastern families can add two green leafy vegetables, two meat dishes and a plate of watermelon.

What? Subsidy fraud?

No, it's strategy.

After all, we are fighting a business war with foreign capital.

……

the next day.

Yu Yang did not attend the subsidy meeting on fruits and vegetables, but went to another large conference room.

A discussion meeting on the export business of agricultural machinery and automobiles of the three industries is being held here.

There are many manufacturers.

In addition to the Rolls-Royce, Faraday Future and Porsche models sold by Quanpu, there are also General Motors-authorized brands, high-imitation German brands, high-imitation Japanese brands, and Santui's self-developed agricultural machinery.

And Laotoule which is gradually opening up the market.

Don't underestimate these companies.

Because of the industrial base of Shiliying Street, with the help of Sanyuan Heavy Industries and steel furnaces, it has achieved global leadership.

Like the Donkey Slice series.

Both the chassis and the frame are made using an integrated die-casting process.

Both security and stability surpass the original version.

Some people may say that the safety of a car does not depend on which one is tougher.

But this is the chassis and frame. If they are not strong, how can they protect the passengers?
So when a Donkey-Royce collides with a Rolls-Royce, anyone who sees it will say that the latter is fake.

It's nothing, the shell of the donkey Slider is also integrated die-cast, which is harder.

As for how to do this, how to reduce the buffer and dissipate the kinetic energy during the collision...

As a high-end car, Rolls-Royce must have its own design features.

For example, the space capsule seats, which are developed at a high cost using recoilless gun technology, can mitigate the kinetic energy generated by the collision.

For example, the bulldozer-like sinking technology can make the Donkey Rolls lie steadily on the ground, like an iron turtle. Even if it is run over by a hundred-ton king, the frame will not be deformed.

The same is true for most other brands of vehicles.

Of course, Yu Yang doesn't understand cars.

He just wanted to hear how these automobile factories achieved foreign trade.

"In the Afghan region of West Asia, we imported 1500 agricultural tricycles and 2 Laoto Le vehicles, but we required that the seats at the back of the Laoto Le vehicles be removed so that rocket launchers could be installed..."

"..."

in the afternoon.

Sanyuan Agriculture and Carlisle Group have restarted negotiations.

The boss is fully responsible for this matter.

There's no agreement anyway.

Yu Yang took the opportunity to run to the next meeting room to listen in on the discussion on "factory change of outfits".

In the past two years, the company has developed rapidly and a series of enterprises and industries have been born.

In order to distinguish between types of work, companies, regular workers, contract workers, temporary workers, winter and summer clothes, internship clothes for students, etc., garment factories have successively developed hundreds of styles of work clothes.

This was originally a good idea, after all, the entire factory area cannot be of the same color.

But the design level was average at the time, and the work clothes were both rustic and ugly.

Now that the design level has improved, in order to reflect the image of a large factory and reflect the characteristics of the three-series industry, it is necessary to change the uniforms of all employees.

Therefore, the design and materials of the new batch of work clothes, especially the three red and one green four-leaf clover armband, far surpassed the past.

Yu Yang was quite satisfied with this.

However, the umbrella logo of the Red and Black Group, a wedding and funeral company, is a bit out of place in its own industrial chain.

Yu Yang was just about to find the other party's person in charge to give him a good criticism and education when the factory secretary called and informed him that Old Smith's Galaxy business jet had already reported to the Hangai West Customs and applied for landing.

"Why is this old guy here to join in the fun?"

"Could it be... that David Ensger was allowed to rob the North American fleet and create an alibi for himself?"

Yu Yang summoned the 3D bird's-eye view and dragged it to the east of the Pacific Ocean.

Thanks to the detailed intelligence provided by Old Smith and the champion swordsman Guan Jun, they already knew the route taken by the transport ship carrying the Dagger stealth drone.

This is a small fleet consisting of two 3500-ton destroyers, a 2000-ton frigate, and two -ton transport ships.

The sailing speed was much faster than that of commercial transport ships, and it completed four-fifths of the journey in just over a week.

"Are we going to do it tonight?"
