Chapter 920 The Desirable Points of Capitalism (Fourth update, please subscribe)
“…We have reason to believe that there is most likely a deeper conspiracy hidden behind the “Leshi Incident”.” The analysis and judgment are most likely to cover up their actions in other areas..."
When the intelligence analyst finished typing his report on the typewriter, the red dawn had just descended on Chang'an. He stretched the tense muscles in his shoulders, lit another filtered Nanyang Camel cigarette, and then read the concluding paragraphs.
Read the report carefully and repeatedly, not just the content, but also the punctuation. This report will eventually be submitted to the director's case, and may even appear in the official residence in front of your Excellency.
So, you must be cautious.
After reviewing the report, the intelligence analyst walked to the map, stared at the world map, swept his eyes across the world map, and then used a pencil to outline some places on the map. Finally, he stood in front of the map like that, Staring at it, he muttered to himself.
"What is the Soviet conspiracy?"
The intelligence analyst, frowning and smoking a camel cigarette, just stood there thinking.
At the same time, a bullet train from Chang'an stopped at Nanhai Railway Station. Miller Andrew walked out of the station with other passengers. Outside the station, he hailed a taxi and went straight to the port. .
There will be no stops during this period.
Half an hour later, Miller Andrew, who had arrived at the port, just stood on the port. Different from the container port in Chang'an, this was a bulk cargo port. A cargo ship was parked there and the workers were busy. As time went on, the continuously rotating conveyor belt loaded thousands of tons of corn onto the train carriages.
"These corns are sent from Kenya, and they will be sent to the feed processing plant..."
A man stood next to Miller Andrew and said to him.
“Soybean meal, cotton meal, palm cypress and other raw materials will be added there, and then processed into feed for raising pigs, cattle, and chickens...”
Say here, The man's eyes seemed a little complicated. Until now, he couldn't understand many things - Nanyang obviously didn't have rich products, but why could it become so rich? Even the animals in the farms here eat better than people!
At least in his opinion, this is a complete waste!
Ordinary people don’t need to eat so well at all. They eat meat, eggs, and drink milk every day... Such a life is not what ordinary people live!
But here - this is the life of ordinary people.
This is simply incredible!
“Do you know where these corns come from?”
Miller Andrew said.
"Kenya."
"Kenya is a British colony. Nanyang has large farms there. They obtain a large amount of crops by squeezing and enslaving local people. I heard that they The local corn production has exceeded 2 million tons!”
Looking at the Liberty Ship coming from Kenya, Miller Andrew’s eyes burst out with a strange look.
He came to Nanyang this time to finally confirm some information after submitting the report, such as how much grain Nanyang has shipped from Kenya in the past few months. Although he had obtained a large amount of confidential information through insiders in the cereal company, there were still some details that needed to be confirmed.
Eventually, the report he wrote would be sent to Moscow, and he had no idea who it would reach. He had no idea what role his report would play, or how many lives the intelligence would cost.
He doesn't need to know this. All he needs is to ensure that the information is accurate so that he can arrive at correct and logical analytical conclusions.
“No wonder they can feed their livestock with food that humans eat! These food are the blood and sweat of people in other countries!”
“This is neo-colonialism! When their people are enjoying the wonderful things While living in other countries, local people are suffering from oppression, the fruits of their labor are plundered, and Take away... This is the symbol of the evil of capitalism!"
While speaking, Miller Andrew took out a pack of Camel cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and gave it to the other party, and took one himself, using a lighter. After lighting the cigarette and taking a puff, he felt refreshed without any shreds of tobacco or foreign matter in his mouth, which made him mutter in his heart.
"Capitalism still has some merits."
Although filters have been invented a long time ago, the cellulose acetate filter invented in Nanyang is the best. It became popular all over the world as soon as it was invented, but it is limited. Only in Europe and America.
What is the saving grace of capitalism?
That is, they will try their best to create some consumer products... to let people immerse themselves in some kind of enjoyment. The two of them just stood by the dock, looking at the corn kernels that looked like gold in the sun. Those grains were a symbol of the sins of the capitalists!
While they were criticizing the "evils of neo-colonialism" in Southeast Asia, the Kenya Grain Company in Kuching was filled with joy inside the company. There were even celebratory banners hanging inside the company building.
“Celebrate the Kenyan plantation area’s corn production exceeding 2 million tons!”
Everyone in the company had joy on their faces, and in some offices, employees even served beer Celebrating there!
“Two million tons!”
In the general manager’s office, Du Changyuan vigorously patted the armrest of the swivel chair and said proudly.
"In just four years, we turned a barren land into a large granary, 2 million tons! A full 2 million tons!"
"Yes, manager, after the third harvest, This year’s output will exceed 3.3 million tons!”
Sitting in front of the manager, Zhang Jingxuan said with a smile.
“This is only a part of the land. We have purchased a total of 61,500 square kilometers of land, 70% of which is suitable for reclamation. In total, it is 60 million acres. According to the current yield of 160 kilograms per mu , calculated based on three crops per year, even if it is affected by crop rotation, after all the land is developed, the company can harvest at least 13 million tons of corn every year..."
As the director of the company's development department, Zhang Jingxuan is well aware of these figures. , and he had just returned to Nanyang from Kenya for less than a month, and he had been on a business trip there for half a year.
Listening to these figures mentioned by Zhang Jingxuan, Du Changchang smiled and said,
“13 million tons...tsk, tsk, although it is not enough to meet the needs of Nanyang, this is just our grain company, and we have several brother companies. Well, after all their land is cultivated, Nanyang will no longer need to consider the issue of food. "
The Grain Company was established under the instruction of the company a few years ago, not only in Kenya but also in Zambia and Tanzania. There are also other places.
They acquired a large amount of land locally for reclamation. Although the company invested a lot of money there, the returns were indeed very generous.
After all, the income from land is continuous. As long as it is cultivated, you can get continuous income.
"By then Africa will be our granary."
Du Changyuan said with a smile.
“When we first invested in Africa, who could have thought that one day that seemingly barren land would turn into such a huge granary.”
“Yes, It’s really hard to imagine.”
As one of the early founders of the company, Zhang Jingxuan has been to Africa more than once. To this day, he still clearly remembers the wasteland he saw when he first arrived in Kenya. , it’s just a prairie covered with weeds.
But what about now?
What was once a wild land has become the granary of Southeast Asia!
“So your vision is something that we ordinary people will never be able to match.”
As a senior executive of the company, Du Changyuan certainly knows that the idea of developing Africa and turning Africa into a granary comes from Where—Your Excellency!
It was Your Excellency who determined the plan to open up Africa. Some of them even doubted it at the beginning, but there is no need to doubt it now.
"That's right,"
Jingxuan laughed.
"How else can I say that you are your Excellency?"
