A week later, Renfu arrived in Gouda.

Winter has arrived and there are few tourists in the town, but today there is an event organized by Provimi.

So, a lot of ranchers came.

Two tall and somewhat fat white men stopped Ren Fu and said, "Ren, you don't look well."

These were two ranchers he knew, both of whom primarily raised dairy cows.

Ren Fu was about to say hello when another white man spoke first: "Didn't you watch the news, Nick?"

Nick: "What happened, Joem?"

Joum: "The Chinese sold us cheap feed at super high prices. It is suspected that quality problems were found during testing. However, the EU can now produce this product on its own. No one wants the Chinese products anymore."

Nick: "Then Ren screwed up the company's business?"

Joem: "Of course, I just don't know why he is still here."

Nick: "Maybe I want to try some Gouda cheese again. After all, this is the best cheese in the world."

Joem: “Haha…”

Ren Fu didn't say a word in the end, and Nick and Joem left laughing.

Next, he met many acquaintances, but most of them did not look at him well. Even those who had a good relationship with him just shook their heads when they saw him.

Ren Fu realized that the propaganda position had been occupied.

When facing grassroots ranchers, Provimi or the Netherlands and the European Union have an absolute advantage in the public opinion field.

But he felt much better now.

The headquarters did not blame him for losing the order, and even felt that it was finally here.

Especially Mr. Yu’s meaningful words: You can look at the livestock in the Netherlands.

So he came to Gouda.

In the town's livestock trading center, farmers from surrounding areas gathered. The scene was noisy and Ren Fu listened carefully to everyone's conversation.

"Oh shit, man, you know what, in response to the government's environmental protection policy, I now put a micro wind turbine on the back of each cow."

"Haha, carbon neutral bull, will the EU give you a tax cut?"

“Shit, when the tax collector came to check, the cattle just went ballistic.”

Someone else took up the conversation.

"I heard that the EU recently proposed to impose a tax based on the methane emissions from cow farts..."

"shit!"

“We should put methane-collecting underwear on cows.”

“Maybe we can also set up a ‘bull fart exchange’, issue environmental protection coins, and then hype them up.”

"Man, you're really funny..."

"A strange thing happened on my farm. A few days ago, several cows lost their appetite and became lame. As a result, they developed blister ulcers on their hooves."

"It's foot-and-mouth disease. What's the big deal? Just use some medicine."

"But it's winter now..."

Ren Fu moved closer and listened to the black humor for a long time, and finally heard what he wanted to hear.

But foot-and-mouth disease?

It is already a common disease among livestock, with outbreaks occurring every spring and autumn. Although it is winter now, it should be nothing to be alarmed about.

After listening to the two people for a while, Ren Fu confirmed that foot-and-mouth disease had occurred in the ranch of this rancher, and then walked around the field, sorting out the information.

"Max fed his horse 'muscle-building probiotics' in order to win the horse race."

"The Chicken Rights Movement has called for every chicken to be assigned a psychologist, arguing that caged chickens lead to a life of emptiness."

"The cows have ulcers in their mouths..."

It's foot-and-mouth disease again.

Two consecutive incidents,

If it were normal, Ren Fu might not care, but now, he began to think that something was unusual.

So he wandered among the crowd more frequently, chatting with strange ranchers when he met them, and discovered several anomalies one after another.

Just as he was chatting happily, someone called him.

"You're not welcome here, man."

Ren Fu looked over and said, "Olin?"

Olin is the head of the Provime Haoda Company and originally had a good relationship with Ren Fu.

Olin said impatiently, "You are not welcome here. Please leave, immediately, right now, or I will send someone to ask you to leave."

Ren Fu was puzzled: "What did I do wrong?"

At this time, many people noticed this place.

Olin was also tall and strong. He shouted, "You sold us low-cost raw materials at several times the price. Isn't that enough? Now we don't need your products."

As soon as he explained, the people at the scene understood.

Several times the selling price...

Personally speaking, this is the black-hearted capitalist who exploits farmers.

From a national perspective, they have always been the ones who have made excess profits by selling products at high prices abroad. When will the Chinese be able to do the same?

For a while, people at the scene criticized Ren Fu verbally and physically.

"Get out!"

"Get lost, you are not welcome here!"

Ren Fu looked at the angry crowd and knew that he could not stay any longer, otherwise he would get beaten.

I originally wanted to remind Olin about the foot-and-mouth disease, after all, it is also a company controlled by Golden Harvest, but the headquarters didn’t care and the Dutch had this attitude.

Ren Fu's heart also turned cold.

Not only do they not remind people, they also hope that the foot-and-mouth disease will become more severe.

It’s a pity that modern animal medicine should be able to easily deal with foot-and-mouth disease.

However, he did not expect that the intensity of this foot-and-mouth disease was beyond everyone's imagination.

Two weeks later,

The temperature in Rotterdam has dropped to a few degrees.

Ren Fu once again sat in his nephew's ramen restaurant. It was such a cold day, and a bowl of spicy ramen was so delicious.

The store was also full of people, men, women, young and old, of all kinds, which showed how booming the business was.

At this time, a couple who might have come from other places asked the clerk: "Are the beef and mutton used here imported?"

Shop assistant: "Yes, the beef shipped from China is definitely not affected by foot-and-mouth disease. You can eat it with confidence."

"Okay, give us two bowls."

The woman pointed at the menu, then sat down next to Ren Fu and looked around.

Judging from their conversation, they seemed to be quite satisfied with the shop.

After a while, Ren Lecheng sat down opposite him: "Uncle, are you really going back?"

"Yeah." Ren Fu said in Chinese, "I told you two days ago to post the information about using imported ingredients. Why didn't you listen?"

Ren Lecheng: "Oh, uncle, you know that Europeans have a sense of cultural pride in their own agricultural products. Putting up signs for imported ingredients is just a slap in the face, isn't it?"

Ren Fu: "Based on the current rate of spread of foot-and-mouth disease, it should be time to hang up."

Ren Lecheng took out his cell phone and searched for it: "Uncle, take a look at this news.

The Dutch president said internationally that the cheese in the supermarket was a special product, but it was rushed by local farmers and forced to apologize. "

Ren Fu took the phone and checked it. It was still the foot-and-mouth disease that caused the trouble. Not only were Dutch herders forced to kill their cattle and sheep, but even their exported cheese was questioned by consumers in EU countries. But Dutch farmers couldn't accept it.

Ren Lecheng said: "Even the president can't handle it, so I, a small family, won't join in the fun. The customer flow is already quite high now."

"It's up to you. Be careful here, this thing is harmful to the human body."

It is unheard of for foot-and-mouth disease to break out in winter, but that is what is happening across continental Europe.

The first country to be affected was the Netherlands, followed by other countries and regions such as Britain, France and Germany.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a common disease among livestock such as cattle and sheep. Symptoms include persistent high fever, loss of appetite, blisters and ulcers in the mouth and hooves.

Severely ill cattle and sheep will feel unwell even when lying down.

It can also be transmitted to humans, but the symptoms are milder.

The world has comprehensive measures to deal with foot-and-mouth disease, especially in Europe and the United States. The developed medical care has prevented a large-scale outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease for many years.

However, this foot-and-mouth disease showed signs of being unusual from the very beginning.

This is a winter outbreak.

The condition is more serious.

Once the peak outbreak arrives in spring, it is hard to imagine what the consequences will be.

Therefore, all countries have urgently mobilized to strictly prevent foot-and-mouth disease. Sick cattle and sheep are treated if possible, and those that cannot be cured are slaughtered immediately. Because of the risk of infection to humans, such meat cannot be eaten.

For a time, European ranchers were in mourning.

Walking on the streets of Rotterdam, Ren Fu tightened his black down jacket and thought, "I really want to see Olin and Peter's reactions at this moment."

"It's going to be exciting."

If the ranchers suffer, the upstream feed industry and so on will all suffer as well, and no one will be able to escape unscathed.

After returning to his residence, Ren Fu browsed the information on the Internet.

After so many years in Europe, the language barrier has been largely eliminated, not to mention that I can watch videos.

Looking at the ranchers wearing masks of pain, Ren Fu felt for the first time that the Dutch really have a sense of humor.

However, when he thought that President Yu had already predicted that something would happen to the European livestock industry, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Mr. Yu hasn't been abroad for quite some time... It seems that it is wise for me to go back. Le Cheng should be fine."

My nephew's business is doing well, and the feeling of making money can make one's adrenaline rush. It is impossible to persuade him to go back now.

Ren Fu could only hope that he was okay.

...

"Boss, there's an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Europe."

"understood."

"Boss, Qinghe and Falcon have received a lot of meat export orders from Europe."

"It's up to you whether to accept it or not."

"boss……"

One call after another came to Guo Yang's mobile phone. The outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease brought good profits to Jiahe, but Guo Yang didn't care.

He cares about the extent to which this wave can affect old Europe.

Animal husbandry is one of Europe's core industries and is also related to the daily survival of Europeans. It is more effective than attacking food.

If the livestock industry collapses, there will be no food security in Europe.

It seems that the effect is quite good now. In just a few weeks, millions of livestock have been killed and landfilled in Europe.

This is just the beginning.

Putting away his phone, Guo Yang looked at a world map hanging on the wall. There were many markings on the map, some of which were marked with a √.

Others would think it was Golden Harvest’s strategic plan.

Only Guo Yang knew that this was actually a biological hazard planted in various countries. Putting down the √ meant that it had begun to spread.

Currently, all densely populated areas on the earth, except for the African continent, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, have basically shown signs of an outbreak.

Guo Yang also didn't want to let Eastern Europe go.

The main grain-producing countries in Eastern Europe are Russia, Austria, Romania, Belarus, Bulgaria and other countries.

Russia's grain-producing areas are concentrated in the Don River and Volga River basins, and are also within the geographical scope of the East European Plain.

In Ukraine and Romania, Jiahe also released invasive plants, but the effect was slightly slower.

"The world is in chaos, but it's not chaotic enough..."

At this time, the mobile phone on the desk kept vibrating.

Guo Yang turned around and picked up his phone. It was a call from his boss. "Can the foot-and-mouth disease in Europe be controlled?"

Pulling over the boss chair, Guo Yang sat down, turned around on the spot, and said confidently: "I can't control it."

"Then I feel relieved." The senior leader pondered, "Domestic experts said that foot-and-mouth disease is just a common disease."

Guo Yang explained: "It is precisely because it is common that we can reduce the suspicion that it is a human factor."

The big boss asked: "Will there be any impact domestically?"

"There shouldn't be..."

A piece of news suddenly appeared on the computer desktop. Guo Yang happened to see it and was stunned for a moment: "This should be the case. Even if it is not, it must be the case."

"What do you mean?"

"Someone in a certain province ate wild game and is suspected of being infected with the virus..."

It took Guo Yang a few minutes to discuss with his boss how to deal with the situation.

Anyway, the whole world is having problems, and it would be abnormal if China didn't have any problems.

This virus came at the right time.

This can just cover up the layout of Jiahe and Huaxia behind the scenes, and Guo Yang is confident that he can control it this time.

The big boss said, "As long as it's not deliberately made in the country by Golden Harvest, it's fine."

Guo Yang was helpless. He couldn't clear himself of this suspicion: "This is really just a coincidence."

"It doesn't matter how the virus came about. You have to solve the problem." The leader pondered and said, "We are also preparing."

Guo Yang: "How long will it take?"

The big boss said: "Five years. If all countries have not completely solved the problem after five years, we can take action."

Five years later, that is, 2025. Guo Yang thought to himself, what a coincidence! Although history has completely changed, this year has special significance for him.

"If the Hongqi River can be connected to the northwest as soon as possible, I can guarantee that within five years, no other country except us will be able to resume normal grain production."

"Three years. Give me another three years, and the whole line will be connected to water!"

Guo Yang: "Okay, I'll go to Africa again in the next three years to think of a solution."

The big boss hesitated: "You're going to be gone for three years, you're not going to never come back, are you?"

"No, I've already said that the Northwest is my root. I will definitely come back when the Hongqi River is connected to water in at least three years." Guo Yang pondered, "And, during this period, I will go home from time to time to visit."

After a moment of silence, the big boss said, "Don't worry, I will help you look after your family."

"it is good."

Guo Yang let out a light breath, turned around and looked at the map again, then left the company and returned home.

"Where's the wife?"

"I'm going to pick up the kids."

"Let's go, Chang Feng, to school."

At the entrance of the kindergarten, Guo Yang found Lin Keqing, who was sitting in a business car. When she saw Guo Yang, she was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" (End of this chapter)
