ADM is in full rout.

Connet sat helplessly in the office. At this moment, no matter how fast he reacted, it would not help.

No matter what you do, you can't make up for the mistakes you have made.

The inventory in hand is the bargaining chip that ADM has finally sucked in after nearly 10 months, and the funds consumed almost account for all of ADM's cash flow.

It even includes a special budget of 3 billion US dollars taken from the May meeting.

And now, all of these themselves have become useless soybeans.

Neither is it sold, nor is it not sold.

If you want to sell, losses are inevitable, and under the backing of Huaxia's large sum of money, it is absolutely impossible for a collapse to happen, and the market panic cannot be lifted at all.

Previously, speculators had enough time to follow the rhythm of COFCO to ship a little bit, and then use the step-down price to fill these soybeans into COFCO's grain reserve warehouse.

They may lose money, and some may even lose money, but they will definitely survive.

And as long as they are alive, ADM, Cargill, or any other large international grain merchants will not be able to enter this market.

The ultimate goal failed completely, and even the previously expected sub-level benefits were not achieved.

What he really got was the worst consequence that he had never imagined.

Even recovering the loss has become a luxury.

But if you don't sell them, what can you do if you keep so many soybeans in your own hands?

You must know that the so-called production reduction is purely false news. This year is a year of bumper soybean harvest. When a new round of soybeans starts to enter the market, the soybeans in hand will have to rot in the warehouse.

No company can eat these soybeans.

Even if it is used to extract oil, the market cannot absorb so many raw materials.

Therefore, there is actually only one choice left for him:

Gritting your teeth and shipping, you can recover as much money as you can.

Thinking of this, Connet made a difficult decision.

Afterwards, he walked out of the office at the headquarters of ADM Shanghai lonely, and walked to the crowded street.

At this time, it was the rush hour for getting off work, and the streets were slowly filled with young girls with cool clothes and good looks, but he no longer had the mood to appreciate them.

——

That's right, how could a loser be worthy of a reward?

Not to mention rewards, if he returns to China now, there might be some kind of punishment waiting for him at the May Society...

This powerful institution can almost be said to be tied to the country's strategy. It is too easy for them to want a person to disappear.

Can I really get out of that small and dark reception room safely?

Connet was skeptical of this.

He even had an idea in his heart:

Otherwise, just live here?

Live as an ordinary person.

But soon, this idea was snuffed out by him in the cradle again.

Because he is soberly aware that no one will let him go.

No one will let go of a man who staged a dangerous and nefarious operation to destroy the grain market of an entire country.

Therefore, his final fate is actually inevitable.

——

Unless, get something in exchange.

Connet's eyes gradually brightened.

Then, he walked in one direction resolutely...

...

A few hours later, in the interrogation room of a national security office.

Conant sat on the cold chair with a relaxed expression, and answered the other party's questions in a straightforward manner.

After finally confirming his identity, finally a higher level of staff entered the interrogation room.

As soon as he saw the other party's clothes and demeanor, Connet immediately judged that this was the person who could really save his life.

So, he spoke first and said:

I have important information. This information may help you enter the North American grain market and get a large share.

Hearing his words, the man opposite smiled slightly and replied:

Mr. Connet, you don't need to be so anxious.

As far as we know, the organization you belong to has no immediate plans to harm you—this failure is not your responsibility alone, and no one will embarrass you.

There was a bitter look on Connet's face, of course he knew it was not his responsibility.

But obviously, no matter who is responsible, May will always need a scapegoat, and she is the best choice.

——

But what's the point of arguing about these things now?

He shook his head slightly and said:

I don't want to discuss with you how May will deal with me, but since I have appeared here, I think my sincerity is enough.

Now, I hope to communicate with you as an equal—because the deal we are about to reach is likely to change the food pattern of the entire world.

There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of the man's mouth, he moved the stool and sat down, and then asked:

Equal status? Why do you think I'm going to treat you equally? Don't you know you're a loser?

...Of course I know, but losers have value too.

Especially when this loser has a big chip in his hands.

Don't you want to know what I'm going to exchange for my life?

Connet's face was full of imperatives. He knew the meaning of the information in his hand very well, and he also fully understood that at this time, the more aggressive he was, the greater his chance of surviving.

However, the other party's reaction was completely beyond his expectations.

I do not want to know.

The man replied calmly and decisively.

Why should I know? You have just joined the core team of the May Club for less than two months, and you don't have any experience in large-scale events.

—Oh, if you have to say, you once played the role of messenger in the operation against our No. 22 project, but obviously, even for such a simple thing, you didn't do it well enough.

So, I don't believe that you can provide me with any useful information. If it wasn't for the work flow specification, I wouldn't have come to see you today.

Mr. Connet, you take yourself too seriously—the people behind you take themselves too seriously.

That's the root of your failure, isn't it?

Hearing this, Connet nodded silently.

The other party did have reasons for contempt, who made himself a complete loser?

From the moment he walked into this room, his own destiny was in the hands of the other party.

And the only thing I can do is to try my best to take out all the chips to bet on whether the other party will spare me.

Thinking of this, he said:

What you said is very reasonable, but... I still suggest that you listen to my information.

Believe me, you will never regret trading my life for such an important opportunity.

Having said that, the man seemed to finally have some interest.

While examining Connet's expression, he asked:

Tell me?

A look of luck flashed across Connet's face, he coughed, and replied seriously:

I can reveal a direction first, but you have to ensure my safety.

You speak first.

The man's answer was extremely concise, and Connet shook his head helplessly, knowing that he could no longer bargain.

So, he resolutely said:

It's related to ADM's North American layout.

I have their key strategic decision-making node information in my hand. As long as you have this information, you can take advantage of the situation to squeeze out the power of ADM, seize the market that originally belonged to them, and even finally enter the North American market. It is not difficult.

Hearing Connet's words, the man's face showed undisguised disappointment.

He stood up from the chair again, looked into Connet's eyes and said:

Mr. Connet, I rarely repeat a sentence twice, but today, I still want to give you a piece of advice: don't take yourself too seriously.

I thought you could have some information in your hands... In the end, that's it?

You don't really think that we care about ADM and the four major grain merchants you control, do you?

It is true that we are indeed formulating many tactics to deal with it, but you have to remember that it is only at the tactical level. Strategically, we have never taken you too seriously.

You said that your intelligence is related to the key nodes of ADM, but do you know that after this major blow, ADM's business has been greatly affected?

Not just in Asia, but even in Europe, South America, they've all been dragged down.

This is when they are at their weakest.

In this way, do you still think it is necessary for us to refer to the nodes you mentioned step by step to compete and seize the market?

This is a joke...

Destroy him directly, isn't the market still ours?

After listening to the man's words, Connet wanted to get up with a face full of horror, but the handcuffs on his hands restricted his actions.

So, he had no choice but to sit down again, staring wide-eyed and asking:

You want to destroy ADM directly? Do you know how big he is? Do you know how childish your words are?

Destroy ADM... why don't you just say destroy America directly?

The man smiled and replied:

If possible, I would like to try it too.

It's just that the time is not yet ripe, and we need more patience.

--Also, when did I say we want to destroy the entire ADM? What if we just want to destroy a certain part of it?

Connet was stunned for a while, he didn't want to understand the meaning of this man's words.

But he is a smart man after all, and he quickly realized it.

And at this moment, great fear swept his heart.

These Chinese people...their strategy is not over yet.

In other words, their revenge has just begun!

Interrupting their own plan is just the beginning of their own plan, and what they really want to do...

It is to break down ADM's influence in each country one by one!

Obviously, Argentina is their first stop.

Everything is on the string.

I thought that such a surrender was a smart choice, but I never expected that this was a disguised self-surrender.

People are not interested in themselves at all.

Their sights have already surpassed themselves, this little guy, and looked further beyond the sea...

...

Two weeks later, a series of explosive news was released at the same time.

Connet was arrested and prosecuted by an agency.

Four freighters loaded with soybeans arrived in Buenos Aires, and all the soybeans came from ADM.

The first batch of three J-8 III fighters were delivered to Argentina's Atanor Company for personal defense purposes.

ADM-Argentina faces significant losses and a large number of local subsidiaries go bankrupt.

COFCO enters Buenos Aires and sets up its first office...

Butterflies from the east flapped their wings, and storms in South America suddenly rose.

And with the economic storm came a bigger, but more subtle hurricane.

The J-8 III soared above the sea, and in the capital market, this gentle rabbit showed its minions for the first time.

Of course, now is not the time for an all-out attack.

But that day seems not far away...

These two days are around 14,000. In theory, it should be counted as an update, but I still try to add one more chapter, hoping to import and complete the update.
