Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 289: Father and Son Confrontation, Winning the Food War in 01

The World Trade Center Twin Towers are only 400 meters away from the New York Stock Exchange.

Old Smith was sitting by the window on the top floor of American Securities. He not only heard the loud bang, but also felt an unprecedented shock wave.

If the office had not been equipped with bulletproof glass, he would have been either dead or disabled.

And this moment.

Time seemed to stand still, and the entire Wall Street was completely quiet.

next moment.

Screams, shattering sounds, and sirens were heard all over the city.

Then, another flight hit it...

Screams, shattering sounds, and sirens were heard all over the city.

"Fuck, they must be crazy!"

Old Smith suddenly wanted to escape from here.

But everything that is happening now will inevitably cause US stocks to plummet.

After a moment of daze, he turned on the computer to perform relevant operations while contacting the family think tank.

Just four or five seconds later, the head of the family think tank stumbled in.

"Sir, after an urgent analysis, it is predicted that in the next week, the S&P, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq will plummet by 10%. The stock markets in Tokyo, London, Paris, and Frankfurt will also plummet. In addition, airlines may fall by 30%."

Old Smith looked at the data on the computer screen and said, "Someone shorted the market in advance. It must be Old... Damn it. Close the stock market and reopen it in a week. Make a response plan as soon as possible. If the decline cannot be stopped, then sacrifice some small industries and withdraw all funds to save Nasdaq. After all, we are in control of Vanguard now."

“Are we going to give up on All-American Securities?”

“We have limited funds.”

After Old Smith finished speaking, he suddenly understood Yu Yang's operation.

First, he bought some old grain from the Klins, and then set a trap for himself to burn it.

When food prices rise, there are only two choices left.

One is to continue burning, and the other is to rush to buy with the other party.

If the burning continues, food prices will remain high, causing economic turmoil, and there is a possibility that the burning of food will cause major fires in America, leading to an overall reduction in food production in North America.

If he joined the other party in the purchase, he would have to spend hundreds of billions of US dollars. However, after the plane crashed into the building, the Smith family had to break 1 US dollar into 10 US dollars in order to maintain its financial economy. They even had to borrow US dollars from others to avoid a bank run caused by a stock market crash. By then, how could the Smith family have the funds to buy food from Yu Sanyuan?

Furthermore, as global stock markets plummeted, the situation of the world's grain traders was not much different from that of the Smith family.

In this way, basically no one will compete with Sanyuan Agriculture to buy food.

If no one is rushing to buy, Sanyuan Agriculture will definitely stop the rush to buy.

Because by next month, many farmers who cannot sell their grain will become anxious and start selling off, and Sanyuan Agriculture will be able to take over smoothly at an ultra-low price.

In the end, Sanyuan Agriculture became the biggest winner in the grain sector this year.

"The question is, how did he know the plane hit the building?"

"Could it be that the old abbot of the Futu Temple is really that spiritual?"

Thinking of this, Old Smith took a deep breath.

He suddenly remembered that he had consulted Yu Sanyuan whether he should follow Bush's advice and buy insurance for the World Trade Center Twin Towers.

Now that I think about it, it was probably that phone call that made the other party guess the sensational event that would happen today or in the near future.

But isn’t this brain too scary?

However, the top priority is to stabilize the financial economy.

Rather than thinking about food issues.

···
Brooke Elementary School, Florida.

Now that Bush is away from Washington and no longer involved in capital struggles, he suddenly feels a lot more relaxed.

At this moment, he is interacting with children in the classroom in front of the ABC TV camera.

Let's just call it a political show.

At this time, his accompanying manager Card suddenly received a call from Washington.

Card walked out of the classroom and pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Card, just now, a plane crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center."

"Oh? How big is the plane?"

"This... looks like a small private plane."

Card frowned slightly and looked at Xiaobu in the classroom, thinking to himself, do I have to tell the steward about such a trivial matter?
But suddenly it felt unreliable, "Please confirm it."

After a while.

Washington called again, his tone much more serious, "It's a civilian airliner, and there are two of them."

"Fuck!"

Card hung up the phone with a curse, walked quickly into the classroom, and whispered to Xiaobu, "Mr. Manager, two civil airlines have crashed into the World Trade Center Twin Towers. We are under attack."

Xiaobu heard the whisper and was shocked and confused.

Because the Northern Forest Plan that Bush had described to him in the Gulf of Mexico some time ago was not like that at all.

The general idea was to detonate Building 5, the annex of the World Trade Center Twin Towers, because that was where the database was located, and then arrange for an abandoned plane to crash into the middle of the Pentagon, because that was where the backup library was located.

In other words, North America's financial loopholes are related to the arms trade and involve 'short selling'.

Buyout: The North American military submits a budget, Congress agrees to allocate funds, and then remits the funds to defense contractors. The contractors do not need to produce, and after a period of time, they deliver the "air" to the North American military, which then receives it.

Short selling: After the North American military received the "air", it sold this batch of "weapons of air nature" to the Ice Bear Mafia in Afghanistan. The latter said it had received it, and then this round of arms trade was completed.

In this process, the military gets money, the members of Congress who are involved in this matter and oversee the delivery get money, the defense contractors get money, and the Ice Bear Mafia can also get a share of the money.

In the end, everyone is happy.

Similar things have happened everywhere in the past decades or even hundreds of years.

This phenomenon is especially serious during wartime.

But no matter how fake it is, the accounts have to be prepared, otherwise taxpayers will definitely not be happy.

However, there were more and more accounts of this type, but less and less actual armaments. Seeing that it was about to be concealed, the best way was naturally to burn the account books so that there would be no evidence.

Therefore, in this information age, destroying the database of World Trade Center Building 5 and the backup library of the Pentagon has become the only way to settle the accounts.

Then, Harden was dying, and the Taliban lost control, causing a shortage of flour in Afghanistan, which was equivalent to stopping the supply of 90% of the world's flour, causing many people in the military to lose a large amount of extra income.

And the Ice Bear Mafia suffered an inexplicable attack and lost thousands of tons of gold.

In addition, the euro, with the support of Europe, European capital, and European Jewish capital, is expanding eastwards recklessly and madly, and even plans to enter the East, posing an unprecedented threat to the US dollar market.

North America can then frame Harden for the big fuss caused by the "settling of accounts", and then enter Afghanistan to take back the flour growing areas and protect the gold mines, so that Afghanistan can restore its original order and, by the way, block the euro from moving eastward.

It can be said to kill five birds with one stone.

However, in North America, the Republican faction is not the only one in power, and the military is not the only one with problems.

So Old Bush contacted Old Smith in the name of "buying insurance".

The general meaning is that if you have any bad debts, take the opportunity to settle them and let's cover up the matter together.

This will bring the democratic faction on the same boat.

However, what Xiaobu never expected was that the gap between reality and ideal was that two civil airlines collided with the Twin Towers...
However, now is not the time to question Old Bull, he needs to deal with this matter.

The problem is that Xiaobu suddenly realized that without his father's guidance, he didn't know what to do.

But what is certain is that North America is under attack.

"To New York!"

"Mr. Xiaobu, we have to ensure your safety."

"No, I'm going to New York right now to declare war on them!"

Some time ago, he rejected David Ensger's proposal to stop the Klins from purchasing grain. Suddenly, the Democratic news media changed their tone overnight and began to mock him as the North American governor.

Not only did they say that he was too soft on the East in the incident of the high-performance MiG-25 approaching him, but they also brought up the fact that he evaded military service and hid in the Texas National Guard, calling him a wimp.

In this context, if you are not tough today, you may step down tomorrow.

"Mr. Xiaobu, you'd better write your speech first, otherwise if you say something wrong in the chaotic scene, it may cause irreparable negative impact."

The think tank that Bush provided to Bush is still quite reliable.

Regardless of whether Xiaobu agreed or not, after giving the other party a task that had to be done, he directly cleared a classroom and conducted an emergency discussion.

At the same time, contact the Air Force No. 72, the doomsday plane, and prepare to fly in the sky for hours.

Because North America is under attack, no one can guarantee the safety of the White House in Washington.

As for going to New York...

Who knows if Little Bush will be killed by Old Smith when he goes to the Astor family's territory.

Before Bush and Smith reach an agreement, Bush must not go to New York.

for a long time.

The think tank finally came up with a plan, which was to ground all flights. Even those in the sky had to be forced to land in Canada, otherwise they would all be shot down.

Then notify the North American Air Force and order fighter jets to take off to protect North America.

Unexpectedly, the North American Air Force is on vacation. In the entire eastern part of North America, only 4 fighter planes can take off...

"Fuck!"

Xiaobu finally began to panic and feel uneasy.

I finally understood why Bush did not dare to confront Sanyuan Agriculture head-on even though the high-performance MiG-25 flew close to the USS Reagan several times.

If we can’t even defend against attacks by ruthless people, how can we defend against the high-altitude bombing of the high-performance MiG-25 and the low-altitude penetration of the high-performance J11B?
soon.

The doomsday plane arrives at a military base in North America.

On the way here, Bush had already learned that the Pentagon had been attacked and that another plane had crashed in the suburbs. He contacted Washington, "Who (the ruthless gang) did it?"

"It's all possible."

"···"

Xiaobu was silent for a long time, found an encrypted anti-eavesdropping room, and contacted Laobu.

"Why? This isn't your boreal forest plan!"

Old Bu, who had already returned to Texas, heard his son's question and said calmly: "This is the information age, especially with the emergence of graphics card matrix, the storage form of important data is no longer limited to floppy disks and hard disks.

I said before that what I was going to destroy was the database of Building 5 and the backup database of the Pentagon.

And destroying the World Trade Center Twin Towers will not help fill the huge financial hole in North America.

So, this has nothing to do with my plan.

My North American steward, what you need to do now is to investigate the identity of the attackers, find the mastermind, and then start the war."

Faced with such an answer, Xiaobu became even more certain that it was his father who planned everything.

Because every time you deal with a big thing, the other person's demeanor and tone becomes cold and callous.

Suddenly, he remembered Yu's complaints that the intelligence system had overheard from Shiliying: the lower class in North America is just a consumable, and the capitalists don't care about their lives or deaths, so we must make the capitalists feel threatened, and then they will truly experience fear.

Xiaobu understood.

The more of those consumables die, the bigger the situation will become.

He will also be able to advance into the Afghan region more smoothly.

···
Texas.

Old Bu looked at the encrypted communicator that was hung up by his son, shook his head slightly, and contacted the blasting team of the database in Building 5 with an expressionless face, asking them to implement the plan.

"Mr. Bu, the explosive device has been installed, but there are reporters everywhere. We can't blow up this building in front of the whole world, right?"

"It's not something you have to think about, and afterwards, there are experts explaining everything."

"Yes!"

next moment.

Building 200, which was about 5 meters away from the World Trade Center Twin Towers, collapsed in front of the stunned eyes of countless people at the scene.

···
Beijing.

ADM special research group.

The head office of Oriental Bank reached a settlement with old Smith, with Oriental Bank receiving 1000 billion U.S. Treasury bonds and Vanguard Bank obtaining more than 8000 billion red notes and the qualification to invest in large state-owned enterprises. The two sides then cooperated to jointly repel European capital and European Jewish capital, temporarily stabilizing the Oriental currency market.

The team leader, Lao Ren, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after Sanyuan Agriculture nominally changed its leader, the corporate strategy suddenly became extremely radical. It turned directly from defense to offense and planned to enter the North American food market, which made the old man nervous again.

It's not that he's timid.

Rather, the foreign exchange reserves of the entire East are not as much as the idle funds of the Smith family.

What’s more, there are other global grain traders such as Cargill and Bunge.

Sanyuan Agriculture relied on the little money it had to compete with others for grain. In Lao Ren's opinion, this was not only unreliable, but also likely to be backfired by the huge capital, resulting in the pricing rights of Oriental soybeans and Oriental corn that the company was trying to seize being easily snatched away by foreign capital.

The problem is, Yu Yang doesn't listen to him.

"The situation was originally very good. As long as Sanyuan Agriculture consolidated the Amur Farm and the projects in the four southern provinces, it could have survived this year. Why did you suddenly go all in?"

Old Ren lit a cigarette with a sad face.

Suddenly, the assistant hurried into the office, "Boss, please check the overseas news."

"what's up?"

"Hit! The World Trade Center Twin Towers were hit by a plane!"

"???"

Lao Ren quickly turned on the TV and switched to the overseas channel.

There is no need to look, real-time news channels from all over the world are reporting on what is happening in New York.

The huge fire spewed out thick smoke, and the dust covered the entire Manhattan area. Many desperate Shimao employees jumped down from the hundreds of meters high floors...
When Lao Ren saw this scene, even though he was very experienced, he still felt a chill in his heart.

Because if this happened in any country, it would be a huge disaster.

Its influence goes far beyond the cruel war.

Then he thought of Yu Yang's strategy of turning defense into offense and targeting the North American food market.

It is obvious that the U.S. stock market is about to plummet, and Old Smith will have to devote all his efforts to saving the market. He will not be able to come up with much funds to compete with Sanyuan Agriculture for the acquisition.

In this way, Sanyuan Agriculture easily won the food war that was impossible to win.

'Oh my god, how did he predict that?'

"Could it be that the old abbot of the Buddhist temple really has the ability to predict the future?"

Lao Ren thought about it, quickly put on his coat, and went straight to his superior to report on his work.

···
Shiliying, International Conference Center.

On the huge screen, the live scene was being broadcast through the camera in old Smith’s office.

After the two collisions, plus the collapse of Building 5, the scene was already quite chaotic.

Based on the advance investigation of the twin tower structures and the on-site situation, Yu Yang finally understood why the two towers collapsed vertically two hours later.

This involves architecture.

Current high-rise buildings are mainly divided into shear wall structures and frame-shear wall structures.

The so-called shear wall is actually a wall with four L-shaped load-bearing columns in the middle, forming an "opening" with intervals on the four sides. Then, on this basis, it is built up layer by layer like a string of leaves, forming a high-rise building.

Therefore, for buildings with shear wall structures, most of the exterior walls only have partition functions and can be demolished.

However, the edges of the leaves have limited load-bearing capacity, which results in a very small area for each floor, making it difficult to form a large apartment.

Therefore, on the basis of the shear wall structure, a frame is set on the outer circle, like a "U" character, so that the area of ​​each floor can be expanded outward.

These two structures are almost the safest in the current high-rise building field.

The Empire State Building next to the World Trade Center Twin Towers uses a similar structure and has been problem-free for nearly a hundred years.

But in the 60s, during the most prosperous period of North American real estate, there were always people who loved innovation.

For example, steel structure.

Engineers believe that using large amounts of steel to replace shear walls will definitely be more stable than concrete.

Therefore, the Empire State Building used 4000 tons of steel.

The World Trade Center Twin Towers used a total of 7 tons.

The steel structures at that time were completely different from the steel structures today, and the quality of steel was completely incomparable to that of today.

Without concrete support, the steel structure would not be able to withstand high temperatures.

So after the plane hits the building, it breaks the outer circle of the "U" shape and pours aviation fuel into the inner circle. At this time, the steel in the inner circle that replaces the shear wall structure will be baked at high temperature. Even if it does not melt but just softens, it will be like "chopsticks full of heavy leaves. After the chopsticks soften, the leaves pile up heavily downwards", causing the entire skyscraper to collapse downwards.

Yu Yang made a summary and ordered the Pingdong Science and Technology Bureau to divide the report into two parts.

One copy was sent to North America to warn the other party.

A report published on three major Internet portals pointed out that the steel materials of Wadao Island were fake and there was a 90% probability that the twin towers would collapse vertically.

···
The NSA was first alerted by the Pingdong Science and Technology Bureau.

After a simple analysis, the possibility of collapse was quickly informed to New York.

New York contacted the rescue system, which took the report and looked at the floors that the fire escape could not reach...

Finally put the report in his pocket.

Because there is no way to save him.

·
Two hours later.

The twin towers collapsed vertically.

The issue of steel fraud in Japan has once again become the focus of global attention.

Even people in North America believed that if the inferior steel from Japan had not been used, the Twin Towers would not have collapsed at all.

three days later.

Bush arrived in New York and began his political performance standing on the ruins.

A week later.

Intelligence agencies such as the NSA and the Five Eyes Alliance have determined that Harden was behind the plane crash into the building.

9 month 25 number.

Except for Iraq, all countries in the world, including Cuba, support North America's fight against terrorism.

···
at the same time.

With the plunge of U.S. stocks, the continuously rising North American food prices finally fell sharply.

Because the new grain has been harvested for nearly half a month, but no one has bought it.

Even if ADM, Cargill and Bunge are willing to accept, they will offer bonds.

This made it completely unacceptable for farmers who had suffered heavy losses from stock trading and were in urgent need of cash to cover their positions.

To do this, the farmers had to find the Klins.

The Klins, who were supposed to be rushing to buy food, are now sitting firmly in the joint office that has increased to 32 companies, "Sorry, we won't accept it."

"why?"

“Food prices are lower in South America.”

“We’re even lower than those in South America!”
