Chapter 531 Waiting for the Right Time

“Things are moving in the direction we envisioned…”

There was a brief silence in the courtyard.

According to the information available, both the island countries and South Korea are facing a serious "rice shortage" crisis.

Agricultural production in North and South America is still sluggish. Although most of the granaries in Eastern Europe are controlled by European and American capital, Jiahe has a considerable influence in Eastern Europe after acquiring Nidera and Noble Agriculture.

The key point is that with Jiahe in Eastern Europe, problems will arise in Eastern Europe’s granaries sooner or later.

Therefore, the confidence of the big leader is not groundless.

“Kissinger once said something very relevant: whoever controls the oil controls the country; whoever controls the food controls the people.

China does not control oil, but it has substitutes and is the world's largest food exporter.

In the past, there were about 30 countries in the world whose food self-sufficiency rate was less than 50%, but now this figure has increased significantly again.

The role that food can play in geopolitics has greatly increased.”

The old man paused and continued, "If you want to destroy a country, you don't need to use atomic bombs. You just need to devalue their currency and cut off their food supply."

Everyone understands how subversive a food crisis is to a regime.

Someone said: "But there is also the ancestral motto of 'dig deep holes, store up food, and do not seek hegemony'."

The big boss said: "This is a different time. If that person were here, he would not have given up such a good strategic opportunity."

No one can change his will.

Now there is only one way to go, and everyone started discussing the external situation again.

"The Middle East is nothing to be afraid of. It is a group of food-deficient countries whose oil import demand has been greatly reduced. They all have to beg us for help."

"Island countries, South Korea, the Philippines... they are just clowns. If they are cut off from food, chaos will break out very quickly."

"Asan, it's rotten."

"Europe and the United States... still have some assets, and they are also the hardest nuts to crack."

"Don't forget about Russia. Russia has always had a sufficient food supply and is also a wheat exporter. Besides, isn't it time to settle the old accounts from a hundred years ago?"

"The Russians will definitely try to deal with us, but the bitter cold land is difficult to deal with and the area is large. It is not realistic to expect the Russians to cause a food crisis."

After discussion, it was decided that the biggest threat was actually Russia. After all, it was a powerful country and a neighbor. If anything really happened, it would threaten our homeland in the first place.

"It would be nice if Da Mao and Er Mao could touch each other first."

"It doesn't seem impossible."

"This collision will inevitably affect the grain exports of Damao and Ermao. While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!"

"How do we make them fight?"

"Ahem." The big boss said, "We'll discuss this later. Let's let it develop freely for now. Given the current conflict between Big Mao and Second Mao, it's not impossible for it to go further."

"What we need to do now is to hold our ground, be prepared, and wait for chaos to break out before taking action. Okay, let's do what we need to do."

Such meetings have been held several times, and each time the top leaders can feel the changes.

From the initial disbelief to gradual acceptance, we can now discuss normally how to implement it.

In a few years, won't these people be the ones urging him to take action?

But there is not enough time. We have to wait for the foreign situation to gradually deteriorate, for a Red Flag River to be built, and for more abundant energy and food reserves.

Thinking of Hongqi River, the leader thought of Guo Yang. This kid had a lot of trouble in Africa, and he suddenly felt a headache on his forehead.

What to do with him in the future?
To this day, except for him, his predecessor, and another elder who knew the whole story, the rest of the elders only knew that Jiahe’s biotechnology was behind it.

Almost everyone thinks the technology should be nationalized.

However, this actually all depends on Guo Yang alone. Without him, these technologies might not exist.

The key is that he is still young and has always paid attention to maintenance. Jiahe also has a series of health products, which can outlast these old men even if they endure the long hours.

But if we expand our goal to the global level and want to accommodate another Golden Harvest, it would be an easy choice to make.

Isn’t Jiahe a natural ally?
In this case, Jiahe wants to make some trouble in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, so do you want to give it a helping hand?

"Contact Guo Yang for me, immediately."

"it is good."

...

The energy forest and apple trees on the Loess Plateau were reflected in the background, but Guo Yang was concentrating on his phone in the car.

Not playing, but reading documents about global food trade.

Through Jiahe’s channels at home and abroad, the information he has is even clearer than that of the top management.

Things are better than expected.

If everything goes well, we can realize the "global village" by using food weapons properly instead of destructive weapons. Naturally, many special plant species do not need to be released.

Just then, his thoughts were interrupted by an incoming call. It was an internal call.

"Hello~"

"Hello, Mr. Guo, the leader wants to talk to you, is it convenient?"

"I'm in the car, wait a moment."

Guo Yang asked the driver and bodyguard Chang Feng to get out of the car. He was alone in the car, and soon, the voice of the big boss came over.

"You seem to be quite relaxed recently. Why didn't you continue with the Congo (DRC)?"

Guo Yang's brain was working quickly, "A good cook cannot cook without rice. If we just develop agriculture and economy, we will only be robbed over there."

The big boss: "Haha... Didn't Feng Kai go there? I heard he recruited a lot of veterans."

"Compared to the real warlords, Jiahe is still very naive. He has neither the men nor the guns."

Guo Yang pondered and said, "Besides, the local corruption is too serious, the infrastructure is too poor, and it is located in a rainforest area. There are also foreign powers eyeing its mineral resources. It is too difficult to do anything about it."

The situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has indeed not improved much, but it is not as bad as Guo Yang said.

It’s just that he didn’t know what the big boss was thinking, so he tried to make it sound as bad as possible.

"I'll just say it straight." The senior leader pondered and said, "Jiahe can go all out in the Democratic Republic of the Congo."

Guo Yang was surprised: "Will the country support Jiahe?"

Big boss: "At least be more positive than now."

"Then I have to go abroad. I have to go to Congo (DRC)." Guo Yang felt the atmosphere was becoming depressing, but he insisted, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Big Leader: “Your safety?”

Guo Yang: "Not many people know my secret, and I will be careful myself. I am still young and haven't lived enough."

"That's true. Okay, you can go to Africa and send some of your health teas to Beijing. Remember, they should be the same as yours."

"You are good at calculating. I only have a little stock."

"You must be kidding. You've been at the base recently, and the harvest season has just passed. How could you not have enough stock on hand?"

"Forget it, I'll give you some." Guo Yang paused for a moment and lowered his voice: "Commander, the foot-and-mouth disease in Europe should be spreading soon. We should also be prepared for prevention in China, especially in case of other accidents."

"Huh?!" Big boss: "Didn't you say it wouldn't happen in China?"

"It's possible that someone will use this trick against us." Guo Yang said, "As long as we can keep calm, the Omni-King creatures will be able to find a way to deal with it."

The senior leader said: "That's fine. On the contrary, we should pay more attention to various diseases in Africa."

Guo Yang: "Hehe, thank you for your concern, but Africa can't accept me yet."

"You're not going to run away and never come back, are you?" "No, my roots are still in the northwest."

...

Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Ren Fu walked into the office of Provimi CEO angrily: "Peter, why is the number of orders for the first quarter of next year reduced again?!"

Peter calmly put down his pen, spread his hands, and said, "This is for cost-saving considerations and also for the investors."

Ren Fu said: "No, this will not save costs, and investors will not be satisfied with your decision."

"Oh? Would it be cheaper to purchase from Europe than from inland China?"

Peter said jokingly: "In the past few years, Provimi had to pay billions of euros for raw material procurement every year. Now, by purchasing from Europe, we can save at least 20%.

Taiko and DSM are eroding our market by relying on their cost advantages.

Reducing the high-priced raw materials from China and purchasing them from Europe will be more conducive to market competition.”

Peter stood up, his height of over 1.9 meters gave people a strong sense of oppression.

"Besides, you should know better than me what is going on when purchasing high-priced raw materials from China!"

Transfer profits to reasonably avoid taxes.

But this can only be thought of in the mind. Even if the Netherlands and the EU insist on this point, they cannot admit it.

Ren Fu said: "But now the price of Quanwang's raw materials has dropped."

Peter: "It's cheaper than Europe even if it's across the ocean?"

Ren Fu nodded and put a quotation on the table, but Peter didn't even look at it.

"That's a pity, as all orders for next year have already been given out."

Ren Fu: "It's still two or three months before sowing!"

"But the farmers have already completed the preparations." Peter spread his hands and said, "It is impossible to change it. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome."

"That's all, but from now on, the King's technical support for Provimi will end here."

"Please."

The office door slammed shut, and Peter sneered, "Apart from plant materials, there's nothing special about the Omni-King's technology."

At this time, another tall white man, Kalan, walked in: "Ren just left in anger, what happened?"

Peter briefly explained, and Kahlan smiled, "Finally, we got rid of the vampire that was lying on Provimi."

Peter: "Haha, now that the company's profits have been opened up, we can not only improve the benefits for employees, but also contribute more taxes."

Karan said: "The investor has to swallow this loss. He still expects us to make money."

"Hahaha……"

The acquisition by Golden Harvest brought Provimi out of the quagmire of declining performance.

However, during its development, Jiahe used the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to transfer most of the profits, and the management did not gain much benefit.

Over the years, Peter and others have accumulated considerable resentment.

The EU's pressure and countermeasures, combined with their actions, allowed the EU to finally conquer the plant raw material varieties, thus getting rid of the King's bloodsucking.

The only regret is that Taico and DSM also control this raw material.

Ren Fu walked out of the door and looked back at the magnificent office building, but he felt as if the sky had fallen.

All the orders for next year are gone!
How to explain?
I can't explain!

He came to a ramen restaurant on the street of Rotterdam in a daze and sat down at an empty table outside the door.

"Uncle, you're here?" The person who came was Ren Fu's nephew Ren Lecheng: "What would you like to eat?"

"No more eating. I'll just sit down."

Ren Lecheng noticed that something was wrong with Ren Fu: "Uncle, you look unhappy, what happened?"

"Don't ask about adults' affairs." Ren Fu said, "Just run your noodle shop well. I may have to go back to my country in a while."

Ren Lecheng said, "Come back when you go back. You've been back quite often over the years. Bring me something when you can."

Ren Fu: "Maybe I won't come. I'm not sure if I can keep my job."

Ren Lecheng: "Is it that serious?"

"Next year's order has been lost." Ren Fu sighed, "It's hard to explain to the company and to face the folks."

The raw material orders from Provimi have corresponding production bases in the country, and these bases are concentrated in the province.

Ren Fu also took advantage of his position to apply to build an export base in his hometown, which brings considerable income to the farmers in his hometown every year.

Ren Fu is also a celebrity in the surrounding area.

Now the order is lost...

"Uncle, why don't you not go back? Let's join forces and open a few more ramen restaurants in the Netherlands. You know how prosperous my business is."

"You kid, you're really good at what you do!"

"Uncle, I'm not kidding. Look, it's already the right time, and so many people are coming one after another."

In just a short while, quite a few people came to the shop, and by the time the hour comes, there will be a long queue.

Ren Fu knew that this was already a famous online celebrity store, and young people around Rotterdam liked to check in here.

"Uncle, you were the one who asked me to open a shop here. Now I am your retreat!"

Ren Lecheng patted his chest loudly, attracting the attention of a Dutch girl.

"That's enough. Your words are enough." Ren Fu stood up, and Ren Lecheng asked quickly, "Uncle, are you leaving now?"

"Make room for the customers. Can't you see the store is full?"

As Ren Fu walked on the street, he was still sighing that the ramen restaurant was doing really good business and that consumption in the Netherlands was high, so his nephew made a lot of money every year.

But this is just a small path after all.

If you really want to live a good life, you still have to focus on core industries, and animal nutrition is one of them.

However, now he has lost it.

After some psychological preparation, Ren Fu finally contacted China and called Yu Qin. He was ready to be fired.

"Mr. Yu, the order for Provimi was lost."

Ren Fu felt like his breathing had stopped and he could hear his heart pounding. He was quite satisfied with his current job.

“It’s gone…” Yu Qin seemed stunned for a moment.

Ren Fu: "Yes, we have lost all the orders for the year. These bastards will have to pay the price sooner or later..."

"It's gone, so be it."

"Ah?! But...what about the bases in the country?"

Ren Fu's speech was somewhat incoherent. If he heard correctly, Mr. Yu seemed to be relieved just now. This was a bit wrong.

Yu Qin: "It's a small problem. The base adopts the intercropping model. There is Xanthoceras sorbifolia as a base, and other crops can be intercropped below."

Ren Fu: "So you're just going to swallow your loss like this?"

"of course not."

Yu Qin hesitated. Ren Fu had just cursed at the Dutch. "You can pay attention to the livestock in the Netherlands."
