Chapter 472 Food Price ReductionThe next day, February 9th.
After one night, the campus of Western Agriculture and Forestry University was filled with banners of various colors.
'Warm congratulations to our school's College of Veterinary Medicine and College of Life Sciences for merging with Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chang'an Air Force Medical University, and Chang'an Medical College to form the College of Life Support Medicine.'
'Warm congratulations to our school's School of Life Insurance for signing a contract with Sanyuan Pharmaceutical, becoming the 17th national-level modern Chinese medicine teaching and research base in the East, with academician workstations and postdoctoral mobile stations. The admission scores for our undergraduate graduates to master's and doctoral programs have been lowered.'
'Warm congratulations to our school - College of Agriculture and College of Animal Science and Technology for signing a contract with Sanyuan Agriculture and becoming the 35th national-level modern agricultural sustainable development teaching and research base in the East...'
'Warm congratulations to our school - School of Resources and Environment for signing a contract with Aynak Group...'
'Warm congratulations to our school - Mechanical and Electronic Factory College, for signing a contract with Sanyuan Heavy Industry and Xiangjiang Sanyuan Technology Group...'
The densely packed banners and world-famous super enterprises are all proof that Western Agriculture and Forestry University is about to take off.
But the teachers and students at school are not happy.
"Ah~ I'm crazy, why doesn't our school join the Hundred Schools Alliance?"
"When I saw Mr. Yu coming to visit, I thought I was sure to join the group. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights. But in the end, I just signed a contract?"
“What do the school leaders eat?”
"Fuck! It doesn't matter if I can't go to school. I'm going to Shiliying to study at the Workers' University!"
"I am an academician and I came here to teach. I heard in advance that Sanyuan Agriculture was developing the western region and I thought that China Agricultural University would definitely join the 100-school alliance. What's going on now? I don't want to hear the reason. I just want to join the group."
"Oops, someone is going to jump off the building!"
Yu Yang left in a special car, and the campus outside the car window was in chaos.
It’s not that the Hundred Schools Alliance did not accept China Agricultural University, but after the four southern provinces were annexed by the factory, the superiors were extremely cautious about their own company and did not want the factory to expand any further.
We do not want the Hundred Schools Alliance to dominate the market and monopolize high-quality students.
Therefore, Western China does not belong to the factory, and Western Agriculture and Forestry University and its own company can only engage in school-enterprise cooperation and joint school-enterprise operation.
“I hope the school leaders can withstand the pressure and calm the emotions of teachers and students.”
for a long time.
A van appeared on the side of the road. After Yu Yang changed vehicles, he drove the van into the fields.
Another half hour.
Yangling Agricultural High-tech Demonstration Zone.
Yu Yang stood in a field where corn stalks had been harvested, looking at a large mound in front of him that was 600 meters long and 600 meters wide.
This is the mausoleum of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, where the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Wenxian, Dugu, are buried.
Compared with the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, the Great Mound is extremely simple.
But among the '100 people who changed world history', eight were from the East, including Emperor Wen of Sui.
The other party ended the darkest period of the East that lasted for 3 centuries, unified the East, restored the Han surname, and made all nations come to pay tribute...
Unfortunately, like Qin Shi Huang, he was ultimately unable to defeat the aristocratic families and died in the second generation.
Yu Yang looked out for a long time.
The accompanying factory secretary felt that it was almost done and reported:
"Regarding the sharp drop in food prices, we first notified Beijing, and then notified North America, Ice Bear, Faguo, and England. At present, all parties are ready to respond."
"The think tank decided to officially announce the reduction of grain prices in the trade hall on October 10, with the first round of reduction being 5%."
"Because the downward adjustment is so large, it will inevitably have an impact on international exchange settlement and international currency markets."
"For example, during the trade between the three countries, the amount of U.S. debt North America gave us continued to increase. In addition, North America pressured the European Union, and European fence-sitters helped North America digest nearly 2500 billion U.S. debt... This is equivalent to an increase in U.S. dollars flowing into the market, which in turn caused the U.S. dollar to depreciate, causing the red currency to passively appreciate, and causing North America to pay back a large amount of our U.S. debt that was about to mature."
Yu Yang nodded.
When the exchange rate between the red banknotes and the US dollar is 8:1.
Use 800 dollars from your own family to buy 100 US dollars of North American government bonds.
Upon maturity, North America will repay itself US$100.
The company then uses the 100 US dollars to exchange the 800 red notes previously used to purchase US bonds from North America.
Neither side loses nor gains.
But before the U.S. debt matures, if the red currency appreciates and the U.S. dollar depreciates, the exchange rate between the red currency and the U.S. dollar will become 6:1.
North America repaid itself $100.
If you take this 100 US dollars and exchange it for North American red banknotes, you can only get back 600 yuan.
This is 800 yuan less than the 200 yuan I spent on purchasing U.S. Treasury bonds before.
These 200 yuan will naturally remain in North America's hands.
It is equivalent to a loss of 200 yuan at home and a profit of 200 yuan in North America.
on the contrary.
If the red currency depreciates and the US dollar appreciates before the US Treasury bonds mature, the exchange rate will become 10:1.
At this time, North America repaid 100 US dollars.
You can use these 100 US dollars to exchange 1000 red banknotes from North America.
But the exchange rate was 8:1, so when North America purchased U.S. debt, it only received 800 dollars.
The foreign exchange reserves in North America - red notes, are not enough for exchange. What should we do?North America cannot exchange the '200 dollars' to itself, it is still a US debt and continues to accrue interest.
This is equivalent to North America losing 200 yuan and the corresponding interest, while our company earned 200 yuan and the corresponding interest.
In recent years, the company has purchased a lot of U.S. debt, especially when European capital attacked the North American financial economy, it helped its superiors buy 5000 billion U.S. dollars.
As of now, the total amount of U.S. debt held by Dongfang and Sanyuan Agriculture is at least 1.2 trillion U.S. dollars, and the three-year term of the debt is about to expire.
So North America hopes that the red banknote will appreciate, while the East hopes that the red banknote will depreciate.
Sanyuan Agriculture's operation is to lower the international food supply price against the backdrop of three series of commodities sweeping the world, thereby increasing the purchasing power of global currency. One US dollar can buy more things, the value of the US dollar increases, and the US dollar appreciates.
Correspondingly, the price of grain in the East remains unchanged, the price of goods remains unchanged, and the value of the red banknotes remains unchanged, which means that the red banknotes depreciate.
In this way, Old Bush cannot interfere.
Because lowering food prices is putting pressure on Europe's fence-sitters and actively helping North America complete the blackmail.
Moreover, due to the devaluation of the red currency, North America will have to pay an additional 10 to 20 billion US dollars at most, but by blackmailing the fence-sitters, North America can make hundreds of billions.
Besides, everyone uses US dollars, which is equivalent to over-issuance of US dollars, which will be conducive to the appreciation of the red currency in the next round.
The factory secretary continued:"The think tank decided to push the red currency to further depreciate, with the exchange rate between the red currency and the US dollar reaching 8.27:1, on the basis that the price of food in the East and the price of goods in the trade hall remain unchanged."
"The Fed noticed our intentions and wanted to cut interest rates to devalue the dollar, but the interest rate had already dropped to 1% and the real estate bubble was close to bursting. The Fed had reached a stage where it had to raise interest rates, and ultimately decided to keep the interest rate unchanged."
"The EU's operations correspond to the US dollar, neither raising nor lowering interest rates."
"Mr. Ren means that whether the red currency depreciates or appreciates, it is all to cope with the international currency market. However, our internal economy is developing rapidly, and every place needs money. We need to release 3 trillion reserves and increase the minimum basic wage again..."
Yu Yang lit a cigarette and stared at Yang Ling in deep thought for a long time. "After North America blackmails Europe, it will blackmail OPEC, and then the small countries in Asia Pacific and South America. The U.S. debt that North America will eventually release may exceed 2 trillion. There is still a chance that the U.S. dollar will depreciate significantly in the future. In order to allow the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, our over-issuance of 3 trillion is not enough. We need to start with at least 5 trillion. Otherwise, the exchange rate may break through 8. By then, when the five-year term expires, we will still lose money."
The factory secretary wrote it down and said, "Then I'll contact Mr. Ren."
Yu Yang finished smoking a cigarette, took a bottle of mineral water from the car to wash his face, and said again: "The domestic economy is so good, and every household is striving for a well-off life. If you want to increase purchasing power, it is best to double the number of money printing machines."
"Ok!"
Yu Yang suddenly remembered something, "Have I sold the video of me and the teachers and students in the lab talking about the future to Commissioner Smith?"
"It was sold. The video was cut into three segments, and each segment was quoted at 350 million US dollars. After all, it is high-tech and the direction of future development."
“Why not 3500 million U.S. dollars?”
"Commissioner Smith doesn't have that kind of funding."
“You can provide them with loans.”
"Ah? We provide loans to spies to buy our intelligence?"
"Yes!"
"···"
"You guys still don't have enough capital."
As Yu Yang spoke, he took out his SY handheld game console, logged into his own intelligence system, and quickly found the video of the 'North American Advanced Planning Agency meeting to discuss the laboratory video'.
Although the video is a bit blurry, you can still see the "many data that Yu Sanyuan helped debug". The company deliberately leaked it, firstly to let North America help it verify and promote it, after all, this is not the technology of the town center.
The second reason is that Old Bush knows that there are people in North America who are proficient in the three.
Even Old Bull knew that Yu Sanyuan knew that he knew someone in North America who was a master of the art.
So, how much brain energy does this old man in his eighties have to spend every day thinking about these things?"Sure enough, youth is the greatest asset."
The accompanying factory secretary heard this and puffed out his chest slightly, "The capital is for use."
"???"
···9 month 28 number.
News of a sharp drop in world food prices has leaked from five major countries.
At this critical time when new grain is about to be put on the market, the news has caused panic among grain exporting countries.
Because over the past two years, changes in world food prices have confirmed that the infamous World Food Agreement does exist.
If the world's grain traders unite, grain exporting countries will become the targets of exploitation.
In this regard, countries that have signed the three-line seed agreement and harvest guarantee agreement with Sanyuan Agriculture feel relatively at ease holding the certificates in their hands.
But this is still a minority.
Because North America has implemented a long-term containment plan against Sanyuan Agriculture, no one, except anti-American countries, dares to use Sanyuan seeds or sell food to Sanyuan Agriculture.
So the vast majority of food exporting countries are not guaranteed.
In order to sell the new grain, many grain exporting countries have started to move ahead, some heading to North America, some heading to the Arctic, some heading to the European Union, and some heading to the East...Unexpectedly, ADM in North America has already transformed. Due to beef trade, Agriculture 3.0 and Sanmei cooperation, the pricing power of North American soybeans and corn was handed over to Sanyuan Agriculture in 04, and there is no need to purchase grain at all.
Ice Bear, because it uses three-line seeds and three-line livestock, has officially become a food exporter, and its trading partner is the European Union. It will definitely not help potential competitors such as "food exporters."
The EU has the support of Sanyuan Agriculture and has Ice Bear as its main trading partner. Considering Yu Sanyuan's attitude, it will naturally not cooperate with food importing countries. Moreover, there are many fence-sitters who will betray the EU.
European Jewish capital wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to buy up some food, but now they are busy trying to seize control of North American Jewish capital. They don't even have enough funds to acquire American companies, let alone purchase food.
Eventually, grain exporting countries gathered in the East, hoping that their superiors would stop Sanyuan Agriculture from lowering international grain prices.
So the two sides came to Shiliying again.
It happens to be National Day on October 10st.
On Shili Changjie, the 220-meter-wide main road, a review ceremony for the factory's security system to the motherland is being held.
The burly black fat man phalanx, the domineering mechanical exoskeleton logistics phalanx, the road-based barrage defense system, the road-based cruiser-Javelin missile phalanx, the road-based graphite EMP launcher, the road-based AI command combat bulletproof vehicle...
Although the review ceremony was not large in scale, the strength displayed could crush 90% of countries.
And this time, an 'electromagnetic kinetic energy cannon' was also unveiled.
The device is like a turret, with an electromagnetic acceleration coil at the tail, a special kinetic energy bullet in the middle, and a twelve-meter-long gun barrel at the front.
Aim the gun barrel at the target, and the kinetic energy bullet can reach an initial velocity of 26.8 Mach under electromagnetic acceleration, equivalent to 9 kilometers per second, and a firing rate of 50 rounds per second.
With the help of AI command and combat system, the enemy aircraft's flight speed and flight trajectory can be calculated. If the enemy aircraft's altitude is below 80 meters, the hit rate is %.
If the distance is above 50 meters, the hit rate is %, and then the automatic bursts will continue until the target is shot down.
The effective air-to-air range is 140 kilometers, and the effective range at an elevation angle of 45 degrees is 200 kilometers.
Kinetic energy bullets are divided into light alloy, graphite EMP burst, high explosive and high combustion, armor-piercing...
Most importantly, this weapon is a "blind-fire" weapon. It does not require an alert radar to detect the target, nor does it require a fire control radar to lock onto the target. It only needs its own area perception system to detect the target, and it can then point the muzzle at the target and fire directly.
Therefore, when a traditional fighter jet is targeted, the onboard defense system cannot detect the radar wave scan and cannot give an "alarm".
Sanyuan Heavy Industries will complete the shipborne deployment of the weapon before 08, the airborne deployment before 12, and the space orbital deployment based on more than 15 Theta satellites in 2000 to achieve real-time global strike.
At the end of the review ceremony, Sanyuan Heavy Industries released a hot air balloon.
When it flew to 8000 meters above the Yellow River, it activated the electromagnetic kinetic energy cannon on the spot and hit the target with one shot.
The food exporting countries that came to join in the fun, especially the fence-sitters in the European Union, all stared blankly at the sky.
Then I received a reply from the factory secretary team, "I'm very sorry, Director Yu is traveling to another world. Regarding the long-determined grain price adjustment, none of the current senior management has the authority to change the plan. Our company has a bumper harvest this year, and we have no plans to purchase grain from outside."
After that, he kindly advised: "You can go ask North America. They are against my family and will definitely take your food."
“There is no plan to purchase food in North America.”
"Then go ask Ice Bear."
"Ice Bear can't even sell his own food."
“The EU certainly wants it.”
“The EU wants to beat us up.”
"That's wonderful... No, that's a shame."
The food exporting countries looked at the square formations on the main road and the electromagnetic kinetic cannons and chose to remain silent.
10 month 3 number.
There are only two days left until international food prices fall.
21 grain exporting countries, in the name of monopolizing the global grain trade, brought the world's five largest grain traders, ABCDS, to the Joint Conference of their home planet.
None of the five major powers participated.
When other countries arrived, seeing that their bosses were not there, they quickly packed up and left.
Early morning of May 10rd.
The trade hall announced the details of the reduction in world food prices as expected.
The supply price of summer wheat was reduced by 45%.
Winter wheat supply price cut by 33%The supply price of ordinary rice has been reduced by 52%.
Long grain rice···Common corn···
Ordinary millet···
Common mung beans···
The average downward adjustment was 33.7%.
This means that the purchase price of grain will be reduced by at least 33.7%.
For a time, food exporting countries were in mourning.
A wave of farmers' protests broke out within the EU's fence-sitters.
Tens of thousands of burly men and sturdy women drove farm tractors into the city in a grand manner.
"Oppose 'boycott Sanyuan agriculture'!"
“We need to import three-line seeds and sign a guaranteed harvest agreement!”
“We need to join Agriculture 3.0!”
···Weihe River-Riverside Avenue.
Yu Yang stood on the embankment holding a telescope, and opposite him were densely packed black brick kilns.
Among the busy figures inside, there are disabled people, mentally ill people, normal people, children and the elderly..."Mr. Yu, the three Baltic countries hope to introduce three-line seeds."
"Look over there. We haven't yet popularized planting in our own country, and there are still many people starving. How can we have extra food for them?"
“So how many grain exporting countries do you plan to cooperate with?”
“Neither will cooperate, but if they turn into a food importer, I will visit their country myself.”
"I understand."
"What did you understand?"
"Only by killing our competitors can we earn more."
"That's true, but you can't say that. We are decent and advanced. It's obviously their technology that is backward and has been eliminated by the times."
“Well, that’s also a reason.”
The factory secretary understood that the world's grain traders were both in power and in power.
It's really evil.
