Chapter 394: World Food Agreement, Fujima’s Drama Spirit

ADM CEO Andre once publicly stated: “There is not a single grain of food in the world that is sold on the free market, not even one.”

“Even if it’s on the black market, they still paid the patent fee and handling fee.”

The general meaning is: There is no so-called free trade in the global food market. Food exporting and importing countries must find world grain traders as intermediaries and implement the mechanism of ‘export → world grain → import’ instead of ‘export → import’.

Even those who secretly sell grain on the black market have reported this to the world’s grain traders and paid protection fees per kilogram.

This shows the extent to which the world’s five largest grain traders, who are in collusion with each other, have monopolized global grain.

The reason why the world’s grain traders are so confident is that on the night the World Food Security Conference ended, they used wine glasses to divide up the global market on the world resource map.

Just like Argentina.

It is an exporter of genetically modified high-oil soybeans with extremely high yields.

At the beginning, Argentina was quite tough on the world’s grain traders and prohibited them from charging farmers GMO patent fees at the national level. As a result, the price of soybeans in Argentina was only one-third of that in North America.

ADM instructed Monsanto to ask the Argentine government for seed patent fees. After being rejected, ADM hired detectives at high salaries to go deep into Argentina to collect evidence on genetically modified food.

After obtaining the evidence, the capital behind ADM sued all of Argentina’s international customers internationally.

It’s like, if you owe me money and you don’t pay it back, I will sue all your relatives, teachers, classmates and friends.

Thanks to my influence, all your relatives and friends lost the case and had to pay compensation.

In order to protect themselves, who among your relatives and friends would still associate with you?

This resulted in Argentina being unable to sell or buy grain.

The price of beans plummeted, farmers lost all their money, the price of meat plummeted, related companies went bankrupt, the price of rice and flour skyrocketed, and food prices skyrocketed, making it difficult for farmers and the unemployed to get enough food.

Eventually, Argentina adopted Monsanto seeds and entrusted ADM as a bridge for grain imports and exports.

Do you think this is over?
Far from it.

Argentina uses Monsanto seeds. If ordinary pesticides are used, the diseases can hardly be cured. Pesticides from DuPont Technology must be used.

In addition, the seed has a low absorption rate for ordinary fertilizers, so Stanley compound fertilizer must be used.

At the same time, Argentina lost its grain pricing power, and ADM bought low and sold high, causing Argentine farmers to sell their land…
Some people may say that Argentina can seek cooperation with Sanyuan Agriculture.

However, Sanyuan Agriculture turned a deaf ear to this because the same routine also happened in Southeast Asia, and world grain traders such as ADM were also unable to intervene.

This is the infamous ‘World Food Agreement’.

There was once a cartoon mocking an eagle with a cigar in its mouth, a bear wearing a military cotton coat, a skeleton in a black hat and black tuxedo, a sturdy black and fat bandit, and a rich camel squatting in the corner. They sat around a round table with a world map, holding a bloody goblet in one hand and a sharp knife and fork in the other, pointing to the place they liked.

In this regard, the five fat countries turned a deaf ear and dumb, while the skinny more than 100 countries dared not speak out.

obviously.

The Nokia executives were not aware of the horror of the world grain.

Its business war thinking still remains at the most primitive level of brand competition, price competition and product competition.

Little do they know that the world’s grain traders are targeting these two national units, Japan and South Korea, and are waging a food war at a higher level.

If the Japanese can’t hold on and can’t get food, vegetables, and meat, even fishing will face the threat of the Ice Bear Far East Fleet. In order to survive, they can only sell companies with some technological value in exchange for food.

By then, the three series of companies that did not develop mobile phone and communication businesses would obtain a large number of foreign technologies and brands, and then, under the guidance of Mr. Yu, they would become bigger and stronger and create greater glory.

Of course, there is another important reason why the three series companies do not develop mobile phone business.

Just like the communication standards and RF chips considered before.

If you are running a communications business and want to achieve global roaming, you must obtain a license to access the international frequency band.

If you manufacture mobile phones and want to access international frequency bands, you must obtain authorization/license before you can obtain designated radio frequency chips.

These days, except for China Mobile, no one else in the East has a license, including China Telecom, Netcom, China Unicom, and China Tietong.

So nowadays, there are no generic or copycat phones in the East.

If the three-series companies acquire Japanese companies and obtain the mobile phone industry chain, based on the EU 2G standard and the ternary communication network, the three-series companies can seize the mobile phone market in the East by relying on calls and Internet access.

what?
3G mobile phone?

Is the Internet access speed of Sanyuan Communication Network fast?

Can I surf the Internet while on a phone call?

···
Yu Yang left Nokia and looked at Ericsson, Oriental Bird and others next door.

As an international first-class street, Shiliying’s influence is obvious to all. In addition, it never refuses overseas investment. Therefore, all the world’s slightly famous brands have set up image stores or rented counters here.

Not only mobile phones, but also famous watches, clothing, leather shoes, diamonds, jewelry stores, women’s bags, luxury cars…

Therefore, the ten-mile-long street today is no longer the rustic town street it once was.

Rather, it is an art capital that lies between science fiction, fantasy and reality.

Therefore, the brand image stores here are all high-end and classy, ​​and all have the unique temperament of their own brands, otherwise they will be fined by the street office.

Just like Motorola.

Aren’t you riding a motorcycle? Why does it look like McDonald’s?

This is false advertising and must be fined and rectified.

So above the door of Motorola, there was parked an oversized motorcycle with black and silver colors, and a female rider dummy named Lola, holding a Motorola and making a phone call.

Motorola’s brand image suddenly became more distinct.

It also makes the entrance a check-in spot for sketching enthusiasts and mechanical enthusiasts.

So fines are not random, they are to help you make progress.

Yu Yang strolled around and came to Overlord Technology.

Although the times are moving forward, Xiaobawang is still fun.

Following the launch of various keyboard all-in-one computers in 01, supporting the Legend of Mir 02 and Sega Full Armor Fighting, and various screen all-in-one computers in , supporting online version of Half-Life, online version of poker and other games.

In March this year, Bawang Technology developed and launched more than ten types of terminals such as home theater, home projector, and networked handheld game console based on three-series electron tubes and ternary communication network.

In June this year, based on the blockchain network provided by Xintai Data Center, Overlord Technology developed and launched a pet battle game and the first generation of wrist-held game console that integrates collection, development, competition and farming.

The handheld game console features a 6.5-inch green screen with 720p resolution and can be held in hand or strapped to the wrist.

If you start the game, the screen will present a map of the current area in the form of pixels, and generate a virtual radar with a diameter of 20 meters around the player.

As the player moves, the virtual radar will scan the surroundings. Once a ‘pet’ is found, the wrist-held controller will give a prompt, and then trigger events such as fighting/escaping/sneak attack/capturing/being ambushed/being robbed/being stolen, etc., depending on the scenario, which will result in victory experience/trophies/combat losses, etc.

The most important thing is that every pet in the game has a prototype in reality.

Players can not only view pets in the real zoo, but also buy the corresponding pets home after registering them in the zoo.

Common pets include chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, donkeys, mules, horses, pigs, dogs, rats, rabbits, etc., and their selling prices are the same as the market prices.

Rare pets include Amur lobster, desert lungfish, deep-sea squid…, and their prices are the same as the market price.

The top-quality pets include the slant-eyed alpaca, the crooked-mouthed red crane, the mini fairy deer, etc., and the price basically starts at 10.

Epic pets…Since players have not discovered them in the game yet and have not successfully captured them, the official only displays them in the Shiliying Zoo. There are Kung Fu Pandas, Teng Snakes with horns and wings, cranes that can carry people, Ba Xia, a turtle that carries a monument on its back, a white dragon horse with horns on its head, and a black tortoise that is a combination of a turtle and a water snake… The starting price is 1 million.

God-level pet…Shiliying Zoo only displays a young basalt with a diameter of ten meters, and there is no offer yet.

With this gameplay, do you think this game will be popular?
It is said that one boss has spent 2 million yuan to buy a “capture net”. It is said that one boss has mobilized the entire company to play a pet brawl in order to find an epic pet.

It is said that Yu Sanyuan is also playing…
Bawang Technology, which makes money from games, is about to launch VR glasses and AR wearable devices in September, and has already set up experience devices in physical stores.

VR glasses are a kind of opaque eye mask, through which you can enjoy specially designed scenes, and in the future, you can also watch movies by connecting to the Internet.

AR wearable devices are a kind of virtual reality based on a ternary communication network, transparent glasses, special headphones, and a backpack host. After wearing them, you can use virtual navigation, see virtual markers and virtual scenes in specific areas, such as a ten-mile long street. When the technology matures, it can also be loaded into the perception combat system in the future to develop individual combat equipment.

Yu Yang experienced it for a long time and contacted Fujima.

····
Hokkaido.

In midsummer, the endless fields are covered with all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Fujima, chairman of the Wajima Agricultural Association, and many high-ranking officials of Wajima were walking on the path in the fields.

The Wajima Agricultural Cooperative Association is the largest business group in Japan, with 900 million prospective members. It has under its umbrella the largest banking group, the largest insurance group, the largest medical group, and the largest supply and marketing group in Japan.

The chaebols such as Mitsubishi and Mitsui, and the gangs such as Yamaguchi and Inagawa, are all just tricks in front of him.

Including the Japanese government, they are also somewhat wary of the Japanese Agricultural Cooperatives.

Two years ago, Fujima served as the chairman of the Yamato Agricultural Cooperative and proposed a plan for agricultural reform in Yamato.

In this plan, it is believed that in the increasingly fierce international competition, Japan must increase its food self-sufficiency rate, ensure 100% self-sufficiency in rice, and not less than 50% self-sufficiency in meat and vegetables.

To this end, he traveled around and lobbied high-level officials and tycoons in various places, hoping to promote projects such as land reclamation, forest restoration, seawater desalination and aquaculture.

But soon, Fujima faced opposition from all sides.

First, the investment is too large and the cost is too high.

Second, after achieving food self-sufficiency, Japan will inevitably be suppressed by North America.

Third, grain is not profitable, and Japan needs to put out more funds to subsidize farmers.

Fourth, in order to ensure the bidding power of local grain, Japan also needs to increase grain import tariffs, but this will anger grain traders around the world.

Fujima encountered obstacles everywhere, lost his prestige in the Agricultural Cooperative, and was soon sidelined by the vice president.

The vice president also proposed agricultural innovation, but believed that the world today is different from the past. If Japan wants to maximize its benefits in the increasingly fierce international competition, it must rely on North America.

North America is a grain exporter. To show its loyalty, Japan can completely give up grain and only supply it, increase the planting area of ​​cash crops, and reduce the supply and demand prices of Japan’s fruits and vegetables.

Although the vice president’s plan only received support from a small number of people, growing fruits and vegetables on the Japanese island is indeed profitable.

Therefore, late last year, the vice president received more support from farmers.

The cost of local fruits and vegetables is lower. After they enter the market, if an apple used to cost 1000 Japanese yen, but now only costs 300 Japanese yen, consumers will spend less money to buy the same thing, and they will definitely support the vice president’s plan.

At the same time, Fujima took advantage of the vice president’s “expansion of fruit and vegetable planting areas” to bring fruits and vegetables that he brought from the East into the market through gang channels, which led to more people supporting the vice president.

Under the influence of the group, farmers who insisted on growing grain, seeing that farmers who grew fruits and vegetables were all making money, began to switch to growing fruits and vegetables.

It happened that the chief of Wojima was replaced, and the new team found that they did not need to provide more agricultural subsidies, so they simply turned a blind eye.

Due to various factors, Japan’s rice self-sufficiency rate has dropped to 40% this year, and the overall grain self-sufficiency rate is less than 15%.

As the president of the Agricultural Cooperative, Fujima believed that Wa Island was in danger. After a conflict with the vice president, he specially invited senior Wa Island officials to inspect Hokkaido.

at this time.

Sanyuan Agriculture has not yet targeted the Japanese islands. Apart from using the “lock net” to hit the Japanese islands three years ago, it has actually been promoting the economic development of the Japanese islands.

For example, through Igawa Keiko, the Japanese military industrial system was strengthened.

For example, through Fujima, a large number of graphics cards, lithography machines, and medical equipment were purchased from Japan.

For example, through the agricultural cooperative controlled by Fujima, beef, chicken, fruits, vegetables, various foods, and various daily chemicals are secretly transported…

It can be said that the current economy of Japan is booming, and all the chaebols have made a lot of money through Fujima, the mastermind behind the scenes. Even ordinary people have made their lives more comfortable with the help of Sanxi OEM department stores, rice, flour, grain and oil, as well as jobs provided by the chaebols.

Fujima proposed to expand the self-sufficiency rate in grain, which would inevitably reduce the self-sufficiency rate in fruits and vegetables.

The self-sufficiency rate of fruits and vegetables has declined, and their prices have skyrocketed… Everyone is living such a comfortable life, but suddenly they have to spend more money. Will the Japanese top leaders still have their support?
and so.

“Fujima-kun, we will seriously consider your suggestion.”

Fujima was furious. “What the hell are you thinking about? We are not in the protected area of ​​the World Food Agreement. We will inevitably be affected by the food war. If we cannot achieve the goal of giving only food, we will become fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others!”

“Don’t exaggerate, Fujima-kun. We have cooperation with the four major grain traders, ABCD. Even if BCD returns to Europe, it will be difficult for it to sell us grain, but we still have ADM.”

“What if the food can’t be delivered?”

“What a joke! The North American Fifth and Seventh Fleets are stationed in the Pacific Ocean. Can anyone stop North American cargo ships from coming here?”

“The Fifth Fleet went to the Persian Gulf, and the Seventh Fleet went north to the Bering Sea. Don’t you know that?”

“This is only temporary.”

“Stupid!” Fujima angrily threw his sleeves and left.

Although the top leaders of Japan knew that Fujima had been sidelined by the vice president, Fujima had Old Bush behind him and controlled the largest second-hand electrical appliance group in Japan, so they remained polite to him.

But after Fujima walked away, everyone’s expression changed immediately.

“Baga…”

However, before anyone could start scolding Fujima, a series of urgent intelligence reports left everyone dumbfounded.

“Mr. Chief, the main force of the Ice Bear Far East Fleet has moved eastward, heading straight for the Bering Sea, and is suspected to be competing with the North American Seventh Fleet for the entrance to the Arctic Ocean.”

“Mr. Chief, Sanyuan Agriculture has sent 25 high-performance J11Bs from the port it leased in Vladivostok, making a public statement to cruise the Bering Sea and explore the Arctic route.”

“Mr. Chief, Indonesia announced that it has introduced the barrage anti-missile system from Sanyuan Agriculture, which has intercepted the route from Australia to us.”

“Mr. Chief, three 8000-ton modern American destroyers from the southern waters have appeared in our eastern waters to inspect merchant ships passing through. The reason is… a ruthless group has violated the World Food Agreement and secretly sold grain to us by sea.”

“Just now, Sanyuan Agriculture announced the termination of all trade with us… ABCD has not yet responded.”

The high-ranking officials of Japan did not know that it was Fujima’s credit that Japan had no shortage of fruits, rice, flour, grain and oil.

What they didn’t know was that after Fujima implemented the Wabang strategy, the Japanese island would soon fall into a food crisis.

Everyone hurried back to Tokyo to discuss countermeasures.

however.

In less than a week.

“···Our fruit supply suddenly had problems, and 7% of the supply was missing from the market.”

“···Our food supply suddenly encountered problems, and 8% of the supply on the market was reduced.”

“···Our supply of fresh meat···”

“Mitsubishi announces job cuts.”

“Sanyo announces layoffs.”

“Canon and Nikon… announce layoffs.”

“Baga, what happened?!”
