Chapter 468 Strangulation-Strong Alliance
"Damn! Damn Umbrella! Damn Awen!"
"What a great opportunity! It doesn't matter whether it's harvesting Southern Korea or Umbrella, but they won't cooperate!"
"Can't Four Stars think of a way? Didn't they brag loudly before?"
"What are you thinking of? They have already suffered a lot by cooperating with us before. They already have deep resentment against the chaebols internally. This time they cannot protect themselves."
"The key is that Yongsan and Busan are ruined. Should we transfer Neon here to intimidate us again? It's too obvious. Umbrella is not a vegetarian."
"..."
As Umbrella began to release one piece of good news after another, it then began to use the massive funds in its hands to pull back.
The international speculators who were originally enjoying themselves were a little numb at this time.
Although the increase in South Korea's exchange rate will cause South Korea's products to reduce their international competitiveness, after all of South Korea's profitable foreign trade industries have been taken over by Umbrella, this negative impact has been greatly reduced!
In the past, South Korea even built ships at a loss just to grab orders.
But now Umbrella still has a large number of platform orders, so obviously it doesn't matter anymore.
After all, although Penglai has just begun to operate, just like the development of the city, subsequent expansion and improvement can be said to never stop.
Coupled with some ships that need to transport cargo, it is enough to feed shipyards around the world.
Now that there are no worries, and with the binding agreement signed between Umbrella and South Korea, Umbrella has also begun to fully cooperate this time.
Not only did Awen reject the various calls from Big Beauty, he also directly issued a series of matching economic policies, raising interest rates and starting to reduce liquidity.
And they are introduced continuously, one wave after another.
This caused South Korea to start sucking up, and Umbrella also started to suck up. With the help of chaebols as a springboard, speculators who borrowed a large amount of South Korea and South Korea dollars with high leverage were all sucked away as soon as they took action, and South Korea's foreign exchange continued to rise.
Since they are preparing to engage in foreign exchange, those speculators themselves naturally have high leverage, far exceeding that of the stock market and futures.
When the time is up, they have to pay it back!
Just like the confrontation between Porsche and the short sellers when it acquired Volkswagen, when the circulating stocks on the market were squeezed by Porsche and the remaining circulating stocks were not enough to repay the short orders, the speculators who were originally short the stock price could only cry. You can repay it by raising the price yourself and buying high-priced stocks.
Moreover, the short sellers who originally cooperated with each other began to compete with each other for the few remaining circulating stocks, and a game of musical chairs began to see who was slower.
It directly pushed Volkswagen's stock price from 200 euros to 1,000 euros in a short period of time!
Short speculators lost more than 20 billion.
Umbrella is actually the same this time, and the South Korea Namwon borrowed by the short seller needs to be repaid.
But as the price rises and liquidity begins to decrease, Umbrella's continuous moves can ensure that it continues to remain stable.
This time, the short sellers who were united in swarming in and started their own palace fight...
"We must not retreat! We must fight to the end!"
"Yes! I don't believe that Umbrella can change the world!"
"Keep throwing, hit hard! Victory will eventually belong to us!"
"Hmph, they just came up with a plan of 200 billion a year, there is no way they will have much money left."
"The chain reaction of the internal problems in South Korea cannot be saved!"
"They are beyond help!"
"..."
Slogans were shouted loudly, and everyone said they must resist.
But privately, they all slowed down their selling speed, and secretly began to frantically buy Nanyuan that others were selling.
The good brothers who were once have become competitors one by one.
Now let’s see who runs faster and whoever loses less!
And the plutocrats in South Korea who were originally desperate were now paralyzed.
Because the international speculators were not given much time this time, it was entirely up to the chaebol to use their influence to find banks to quickly take out the money. In order to make up for their own losses, they also exchanged a large amount for U.S. knives here.
Anyway, all they have to do is defeat the enemy and use the cabbage-priced Nanyuan to pay back the money. By then, they will be able to make up for some of the impact they suffered due to the impact of Nangoryeo.
This time they didn't actually want to make more money. After all, their roots were still in South Korea, and they would also be affected by the losses. This time they just wanted to force the authorities to compromise after the collapse, and then gain greater power.
After all, money is truly useful only if it is replaced by the corresponding right to speak.
Moreover, at first they had the absolute lifeblood of 'food' in their hands, so they were not worried at all.
But now I realize that there is no need to use special means to liquidate it. Umbrella only needs to announce a few official news and then spend money!
Now all the tradable assets in hand have been converted into U.S. dollars, and a large amount of short-term debt funds have been borrowed. When it comes time to exchange them for repayment, the backhand will have to be ripped off.
In the past, because the chaebols themselves were involved in all aspects of South Korea, South Korea would not let them die. They would find various ways to extend their lives, and even simply continue to lend money without an upper limit.
But this time after their betrayal came out, Umbrella, who was sharpening his sword next to him, obviously wanted to take his place.
When the time comes, Umbrella will be stunned and there will be nothing they can do to mess it up!
Yin can't play with it, Ming can't beat it, the other party doesn't have money yet, and now the authorities are on the other side's side.
It's all over!
……
"It's still greed that's to blame."
Wang Yi looked at the bustling Seoul. From now on, this land will belong to Umbrella...
This will be a place that is even more thorough than Neon Control!
In fact, the remaining problems in South Korea are still very big, such as all rented houses.
However, these problems are not actually imminent. Using appropriate means to guide and provide ‘confidence’ can greatly delay the problems.
At least the parallel world has not completely exploded in the next few years.
For example, Umbrella cooperates with the authorities to once again temporarily heat up the real estate in South Korea. Once all parties have confidence, they can continue to move. It can also become a reservoir to absorb liquidity and continue to increase the number of short sellers. Difficulty of repayment.
Anyway, Umbrella is not trying to turn South Korea into some kind of holy land on earth, just keep dogs in it. This way of dealing with it is enough.
But what's interesting is that this time, the new world was not affected much.
Because Jin Junliang was in control of the worldly affairs, he used the excuse that the capital chain was tight and did not lend out much.
This left New World with almost no losses, but a small profit due to a wave of counter-pull.
In addition, New World itself is a traditional business with strong ability to withstand pressure.
Comparing the appearance of the Amitabha Buddhas of the plutocrats next to them, it looks like they are eating melons and watching a show.
Not only that, in order to fill the hole, many chaebols also visited those who wanted to borrow money, and even offered many high-quality assets to provide low pressure.
This directly makes New World feel like a pie in the world.
After all, no matter what, the New World is its own people. Rather than taking advantage of Umbrella, it would be better to take advantage of the New World!
With high-quality assets, New World can in turn get financial support from banks. With Awen's secret support for Jin Junliang, the gains during this period can be said to be second only to Umbrella!
After all, Awen also has concerns about Umbrella, and secretly uses Jin Junliang to defend him.
On the other side, the same goes for the chaebols who treat the New World as their own, and the same goes for organizations!
In the future, South Korea may only be left with Shinsegae, and other chaebols will be unable to protect themselves.
Although I don’t expect the New World to be able to fight against Umbrella, at least it can be regarded as planting a nail...
Chapter 602
"Is this the largest local chaebol?"
Jin Junliang sat in the chairman's seat and looked at his good brother Li Qing next to him, feeling a little confused.
He has justice in his heart, wants to change, and is working hard.
But he never expected that he, an undercover agent, would inexplicably become the helmsman of the largest chaebol in South Korea!
Although there is a higher-status Jin Guangyao behind him, Jin Guangyao rarely interferes in secular business, and only occasionally gives a general direction.
Good guy, why are you so dreamy...
The top four-star chaebols are not only involved in high-tech businesses.
The same is true for all aspects of people's livelihood, including shopping malls and hotels.
And because of this tragedy, these large amounts of high-quality assets also fell into the hands of New World.
It's like a strong competition.
The organization stuffed money, Awen stuffed money, and combined with his own foundation, he instantly stretched the leverage and obtained so much wealth now.
It’s just like a snake swallowing an elephant!
"I can't react too. You suddenly had a lucky turn. You're a lucky star. It's really better to have you in this position."
Li Qing sat down on his desk with emotion on his face.
Then he waved to Song Xinran on the side
"Hey, come here."
Song Xinran, who had been promoted to one of Jin Junliang's secretaries, could only walk over with a wry smile, stretched out his neck, and was grabbed by Li Qing's mechanical arm.
After catching him, he turned back and said to Jin Junliang
"Otherwise, let's get rid of him. It's too troublesome for the only insider besides you and me."
"Forget it, don't make that big shot unhappy."
Jin Junliang hesitated for a moment and sighed.
That big shot can make the president of the association treat him with courtesy, and he can also make people in the organization treat him with sufficient courtesy.
Now his energy also understands that the other party is a great onmyoji of Neon, but he is also from South Korea.
Anyway, now Song Xinran is right under his nose, and his wife and daughter are also under control, so it doesn't matter.
In fact, to a certain extent, he and I can be considered to be in the same boat...
And Song Xinran, who was being pinched by the neck again, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
It's really like a puppet being controlled by that big shot.
Luck is indeed lucky, but this kind of luck is given by others!
But the more he knew, the more fearful Song Xinran became.
Compared with the silence here, the other side is more terrifying, and they will be tortured after death...
“Let go of the handle and you’ll be pinched until you roll your eyes.”
"Tch, I must be pretending."
Li Qing still let go of Song Xinran's neck and patted his shoulder
"Xiba, boy, you are now our true confidant. I hope you won't disappoint us..."
……
International speculators retreated.
The funds are not as strong as Umbrella's, and there is no geographical advantage, and allies are stretched.
People still rely on technology to crush the game, and there is no solution at all!
In the end, I could only keep most of the money I brought, and I was out with tears.
What's even worse is the desperate plutocrats in South Korea.
Not only did he lose his reputation, he also suffered heavy losses.
They can only continue to cut their flesh to survive.
In the end, a large number of traditional businesses fell into the hands of the New World, while various technologies and industry-related businesses were suppressed by Umbrella.
The most important thing is that I lost a lot of my voice and really became a dog on a chain!
Once the trend is broken, you will naturally lose the ability to continue the game.
If Umbrella was not available, there might be other options.
But with this giant Buddha staying here, I have no other choice but to go down and pray for my father to save me...
……
Woohoo~
The freighter's whistle sounded.
After the winner was decided in South Korea, the cargo ship transported by Umbrella belatedly docked at the port and transported the relevant materials.
This time, the port not only has local media in South Korea, but also many other media from all over the world.
In fact, during this period, South Korea was fighting with international capital, but what the public paid more attention to was Umbrella's synthetic equipment that solved the food problem!
This batch of South Korea is considered the first commercial version of Umbrella sold to the outside world.
Naturally, it will attract a lot of media attention and tracking.
Seeing that Umbrella's engineering robots directly assisted in the unloading, Awen personally came to the port to greet them as the spokesperson of South Korea.
Now that the outcome has been decided, food is no longer an urgent matter.
But now that the whole South Korea has changed, Awen still knows who has the final say in the future.
No matter what, he must come here to show his attitude!
Various flash lights and shutter sounds kept sounding, seeming to witness this historic moment.
And since Umbrella has developed the instrument, it naturally needs to be promoted.
Since there was no immediate need, the engineering robot directly split a box on the spot and took it out as a sample for the reporters on site to taste.
"I know what everyone wants to know, why not give it a try directly? Don't worry, we can guarantee the safety issues, and we can also hand over the samples to you. If you are interested, you can take them for testing."
The Umbrella Wraith employee who came over to take charge of the handover smiled and explained to the reporters present, which naturally received unanimous approval from the scene.
Security Question?
These reporters are not worried!
Many of them are even eager for some safety problems to arise so that they will be big news.
Anyway, it was certain that Umbrella would not be able to create something poisonous in such a situation.
A bad stomach is nothing.
The Wraith employee brought up a woven bag and tore the opening open, revealing a large amount of food that looked like pancakes, which looked stiff.
"This is the original version without any seasoning. Due to the production process, although it is not delicious, it can be stored for a long time. If it can be kept dry, it can theoretically be stored for at least three years, and it can be stored for even longer if it is sealed. ”
As he spoke, he took out the hard dough and handed it to each reporter and reminded him
"It's best to eat it with water, or soak the bread with saliva."
As each reporter, including Awen himself, began to bite into the bread in his hand, the expressions on their faces became strange.
It’s really unpalatable!
It is sour, astringent, and slightly bitter in the mouth. After chewing for a long time, you can feel the sweetness of the pasta.
Compared to the reporters who put on masks of pain, Awen ate with gusto
"I haven't eaten this kind of grain cake for a long time. It's actually better than the ones I ate when I was a kid. It just fills the stomach of hungry people."
Compared to those who only ate one or two bites, Awen ate the entire pancake.
Not wasting food is a good habit.
"Haha, we also know that it tastes unpleasant, so we have the nutritional supplement version. It not only supplements many other nutrients needed by the human body, but also tastes much better. However, the storage capacity is not so strong, unless a vacuum is used. Packaging, otherwise it is almost the same as bread, so we still recommend the original version plus our nutrition pack, boil it with water and eat it as rice cereal..."
Chapter 603: Strong alliance
Paji~
A lump of subtly colored jelly was scooped onto the dinner plate, which looked unappetizing.
However, after opening the nutrition packet, sprinkling some powder on it, and scooping a bite into my mouth with a spoon, I surprisingly found that I could eat it.
The psychological shadow brought by the previous noodles was too great, and the previous sales appearance led to low psychological expectations.
But with the addition of nutrition packets that can be used for seasoning, this pot of food that looks terrible can still be eaten.
"The ingredients have been analyzed. It is mainly starch. There is no problem. The nutritional package is also quite rich and has different specifications according to different situations. If someone uses this to make pre-made fast food in the future, the cost will be quite low. , a series of corresponding snacks, staple foods, and even agricultural and sideline products can be developed around this. ”
The man in white coat, who had tasted it himself, sighed.
"Umbrella, you are really amazing..."
Hunger is a feeling that is far away from many people, but in fact, there are still a large number of people around the world who are on the verge of life and death because of hunger at all times.
Starving to death is not a very distant topic...
Is there not enough food?
Not really!
To put it bluntly, it is actually all a man-made disaster...
"Publish your paper and the money will be refunded. It's a bit hot."
The researcher under his command opened his mouth after hearing this, but didn't say anything.
Collecting money to publish some papers or make certain modifications in the papers is also something they often do in this industry.
Nutrition.
There are too many pros and cons of moderate drinking, animal oils and vegetable oils, genetically modified and non-genetically modified, various debates, dialectics, and papers, all of which appeared under the guidance of capital.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it’s all business.
This time, someone was secretly funding various laboratories to attack Umbrella's synthetic starch.
As for the source of funds, you can think of it with your feet.
It must be one of the four major grain merchants!
Umbrella's behavior is obviously to cut off the roots, which will have a huge impact on them.
Although Umbrella was very strong, she definitely didn't dare to attack anything head-on.
But small moves in the dark are inevitable.
And the message came over and said that there is no need to lie and deduct fake things, just point out the shortcomings!
Not to mention the artificial ones, which naturally grown food has no shortcomings?
Even an ordinary egg yolk can be said to be high in cholesterol!
It can be said that white rice is not good for diabetics.
So it’s quite simple to find fault?
Everything has two sides. As long as you find out the shortcomings that already exist and keep amplifying them, the money is actually easy to make.
Only this time, their laboratory still hesitated.
Forget it, you can’t make enough money...
"To start a new research topic, we will look at the gourmetization of synthetic starch and see if it can be made more palatable through subsequent processing."
"Understood..."
……
The four major grain merchants met again for Umbrella's supply this time, and they all seemed to have a headache.
"Some labs said no."
"It's okay. It's normal not to offend Umbrella. If it doesn't touch our interests, we don't want to offend him. The organization's business is the organization's business, and our unilateral interests also need to be safeguarded."
"Just solving the problem of food and clothing will actually have a limited impact on us, but we are afraid that other business fields will also come in."
"The remaining laboratories mainly need to fix a few routes and set the rhythm, and we cannot really compete with them."
"Well, there was a classic marketing case in the East. There was a van that sold very well and had strong data in all aspects. No other competitor could beat it, so they donated a batch to the funeral parlor. Since then, the sales have plummeted. .”
"This is indeed how it should be..."
……
Since Umbrella had separated out a large number of samples at the dock, many of them naturally ended up in various laboratories.
Began analysis, research, and published various papers and reviews.
Some were published in professional journals, and some were directly posted on the official website. All kinds of reviews came in droves.
And not every laboratory can maintain its bottom line.
There are all kinds of opinions on this new thing from Umbrella!
Of course, the mainstream is still mainly about praise.
Eliminate hunger!
What a great thing!
Could it be that Zheng Gang is crazy?
"Umbrella has really taken the entire human civilization a big step forward this time!"
"No more hunger in the world, what a wonderful invention."
"Although it tastes bad, it can fill your stomach."
"..."
But among the many praises, there will naturally be people who are paid to do things and lead them to a new topic.
Unpalatable!
And the side effects of long-term use on the human body!
The main purpose is to create a way to eat natural staple foods even if you have the opportunity. This synthetic one is only for emergency use.
For example, an organization that mainly studies environmental protection published an article in Science
"Umbrella's invention is indeed epoch-making, advancing the progress of mankind. It not only solves the problem of hunger, but also plays a very important role in environmental protection, global warming and carbon emissions."
While talking, he first came up with some relevant conceptual diagrams and calculation formulas, showing how much emissions can be reduced once all thermal power plants are installed, and perfect carbon neutrality can be achieved.
But after enumerating a large amount of boring data, which ordinary people have no patience to read, their most critical intention was revealed at the end.
"But it should be noted that after all, these foods are mainly made from factory waste gas. Although the equipment itself is very advanced and Umbrella has thought of many ways, whether all other toxins in the waste gas can be eliminated is still a matter of course. A question mark, but I think no normal person would try this kind of food made from industrial residues if they can afford to eat ordinary staple food, right?”
The final question was a rhetorical question, without affirmation and without spreading rumors.
But it vaguely equates synthetic carbohydrates with ‘industrial residues’!
Many people look at it and think, yes, this thing is made of waste gas. It is really just industrial residue.
This can make people feel uncomfortable psychologically, making them feel queasy and nauseated.
Just like when Umbrella's sewage treatment plant was right next to it, how many people had the courage to scoop up water and drink it from the filter side?
After using a portable toilet a few times, even if it is clean, you may feel uncomfortable using it again to hold food.
A large number of similar rhythms constantly push synthetic starch in this direction, causing people to feel disgusted.
At least for ordinary people, if they can eat rice, they will most likely not choose this kind of thing.
Food is indeed not something that is difficult to obtain for most people.
Originally, this did not have much impact on Umbrella. There were too many channels for getting money. This time, if South Korea had not encountered a problem, they would not have bothered to come up with it.
But generally speaking, Umbrella doesn't like others to put any label on her head.
Therefore, the official also directly issued some synthesis formula diagrams and guidance.
"This is the mixed use of synthetic carbohydrates in feed that we have researched. However, our company does not have so much energy to do this. It only sells related instruments and supporting solutions..."
Although Umbrella seems to be very large, if compared to the national level, its physical volume is limited, and there are too many other areas that require energy, so there is really not much thought to focus on the feed.
But the key is that Umbrella has no intention, but a certain big country does.
There are many thermal power stations here!
In fact, after Umbrella was officially announced, a certain major country has already focused on this thing, which is environmentally friendly and can solve food security problems.
I just thought that Umbrella would run this money-making business on her own, so she just tried to contact Lin Shiqin pretending to be Wang Yi to see if she could buy some back at any price.
But how could I imagine that the synthesis formula and the machine would be sold directly together?
Can it also be made into feed? Is there such a good thing?
If Umbrella was the only one tinkering with these machines, just rolling them out would actually require a lot of time and energy.
But after they just sell machines to infrastructure maniacs, they can naturally let the world feel what speed and efficiency are...
