Chapter 181: Punch away
A lot of official accounts on the Ah B platform are reporting on today’s events.
The most popular accounts at that time were the social accounts of UP owners in major media and current affairs comment areas.
For example, the Animal Observation Network has worked overtime within an hour and intercepted a lot of information directly from the official website of Hailufeng Company and official media articles. They didn't even bother to do the photos and retouching, and directly pieced it together. At 3 p.m. Around o'clock, I posted a comment on the news video.
"...According to the current official information and the public information of Hailufeng Company, Xiandou soybean has passed the third phase of experimental planting acceptance and obtained the qualification to be officially listed. This is gratifying news..."
"But I think that among the relevant information, there are five points that are very critical information. I will answer them one by one below..."
"The first point is that it is broad. According to the information just disclosed by Hailufeng Company, Xiandou soybeans can adapt to the climate of Lingnan, Southwest, Jiangnan, North, Northeast, and Northwest; at the same time, it can be planted in ordinary farmland, as well as in sandy land and deserts. , cultivated in moderately and severely saline-alkali land, which means that Sendou soybeans can cover all parts of the country.”
On the video, clips of climate change across the country flashed by, followed by images of red soil, paddy soil, black soil, loess, desert, sand, and saline-alkali land.
"The second point is drought tolerance. According to the information disclosed by Hailufeng Company, Sendou soybeans can be planted in areas with an annual precipitation of about 50 mm. They only need to be watered two to three times during the seed germination stage, which means Planting this soybean variety in arid areas in the north can effectively save water.”
"The third point is high yield. Judging from the planting situation of Hailufeng Company in Horqin Sandy Land, under rough management conditions, the average yield per mu can still reach about 310 kilograms, and it can be harvested twice a year. The winter soybean output is estimated The yield per mu is about 200 kilograms, which means the annual yield per mu can reach about 510 kilograms. ”
"The fourth point is sustainability. The root system of Sendou soybean can efficiently use chemical fertilizers. At the same time, it has rhizobia that absorb nitrogen from the air. It can mature its roots within three to five years, allowing the soil's organic matter and various The nutrients are quickly increased, which can turn the sandy desert into fertile soil similar to black soil.”
"The fifth point is diversity. Xiandou soybeans can be mixed with other crops. Hailufeng Company has carried out experimental projects such as soybean corn, soybean eggplant, soybean sorghum, and soybean wheat in Hongcao Town, Shanmei City. Currently, All have achieved good results, which greatly enhances the application scope of Sendou soybean.”
At the end, the commentator added with a smile:
"However, celestial soybeans are not without their shortcomings. I hope farmers will not plant them casually in private, because celestial soybeans are easily infected with specific root rot fungi. Once infected, you may lose all your money. You need to purchase the ones specially produced by Hailufeng Company. Seeds, regular seeds have medicinal coatings to prevent root rot infection, and you can also get prevention and treatment technical guidance from Hailufeng Company. ”

[Akita Inu: Impossible! Definitely fake news! 】
[Zhelimu Big Mouse: I just drove to the Taminchagan Desert in Jiayuan County. Guess what I saw, endless soybean fields (with pictures)]
[Daily Niangyou: The grain field is changing its offensive and defensive positions. An hour ago, international bulk agricultural product futures prices plummeted. 】
[Hayek's hand: @日婷女, please update soon. According to gossip, an hour ago, ABCD lost tens of billions of dollars in the futures market. 】
[Teacher Shi: @hayek's hand, is it real or fake? ABCD should be able to go short in the opposite direction and then hedge it, right? 】
[Hayek's hand: Mr. Shi, the investment bank I work for just lost more than 200 million U.S. dollars. Now even for ultra-low-priced grain futures, no one can be found to take over. Everyone is holding money and waiting, unless there is someone. The news shows that Siris will not reduce the scale of imports, otherwise who would dare to buy the bottom. 】
[Daily Niangyou: @hayek's hand, it should not continue to drop. The current price of soybean futures is almost 2,800 yuan per ton, which has dropped 33%. I estimate that ABCD will choose to withdraw the spot and then sell the physical goods. , after all, the spot price has not been affected by futures. Even if it falls next, the spot price will not be too low. After all, it is urgent. ABCD can also use soybeans as raw materials for biodiesel. 】

And under another UP owner’s video.
Today's topic sauce raised a question: Can Jiang Miao, the developer of Xiandou Soybean, win the Nobel Prize?
[Dr. Nai: The Nobel Prize is uncertain, but I will definitely become an academician next year. 】
[Big Lei Science: The Nobel Prize is really not certain. After all, the Nobel Prize selection in recent years is too abstract. 】
[College student in South America: Even if you win the Nobel Prize, I suggest you don’t go abroad. I was in Rio de Janeiro just now and saw a dozen aerialists. His achievements made a lot of guys who play in grain futures liquidate their positions. . 】
[Civil Engineering Niuma: Thanks online, civil engineering can be saved. 】
[Zhang Beihai: Academicianship is a must, even if you don’t want the Nobel Prize. 】
[Ma Ni: Although this matter is worthy of celebration, the shortcomings of fairy beans and soybeans are still a problem. 】
[Wallbreaker: @马尼, is there a possibility that this shortcoming is intentional? 】
[Human beings will not be grateful to Luo Ji: The Nobel Prize is just a tool of the West. Jiang Miao has basically no way to go abroad now, let alone ABCD. If I were America, I would kill Jiang Miao even if I blow up the entire Stockholm. Miao. 】
[Born Lover: @Humanity will not be grateful to Luo Ji, it makes sense, Jiang Miao should be in danger now. 】
[Jiao Jiren: You are thinking too much. Now there are strict security checks at all entrances to Magong Town. It is difficult for you to get close to Jiang Miao within 100 meters. Moreover, he travels very low-key in his daily travels and has very strong security. 】
[Dean Chen, a foreign language enthusiast: Rumor has it that Handong is preparing to re-investigate the Du case. 】
[Dark horse myself: @foreign language enthusiast dean chen, what is the case? 】
[Astronomy enthusiast Sun Liancheng: @黑马人, just search for the Handong Du case. To put it simply, a certain doctoral supervisor forced Jiang Miao’s wife Lin Shuya to run away. She didn’t even want a doctorate. You go to Hailufeng Company. On the official website, take a look at Lin Shuya's personal profile. Her experience of studying at Handong University is blank. Her honorary doctorate was awarded by Shizishan Agricultural University. 】
There is a lot of discussion online in China.
On foreign social networking sites, the topic has also surged in popularity.
For example, on YouTube, a blogger who often forwarded Siris current affairs news quickly forwarded related news videos.
However, in foreign comment areas, compared with domestic comment areas, various offensive and conspiracy theories account for a much higher proportion.
Of course, there are also groups of foreigners who view things rationally.
All I can say is that the comments in the comment section are mixed.
Below the news video forwarded.
[Caesar: Despicable and shameless thief, this Dr. Jiang must have stolen our América’s technology. 】
[Andre Truck Driver: @Caesar, that’s ridiculous, you don’t have this technology yourself, how can others steal it? I understand. The technology you are talking about is the technology of América in the Marvel world, right? 】
[Cuckold King: I object. If this technology is promoted, it will definitely be an ecological disaster. The earth's deserts are an indispensable part of the ecology. 】
[Ibao’s AK master: I hope we can introduce Xiba, so that our food crisis can be solved. 】
[Kudo Ran: It doesn’t matter, Japan is my father’s colony anyway. 】
[Open Source Iron Man: Very good technology, maybe it can be applied to Mars development in the future. 】
[Thomas Fan: Are our scientists sleeping? Does Europe still have a future? 】
[Desert Tycoon: The flight ticket has been booked and will arrive tomorrow. 】
[Beautiful environmentally friendly girl: Oh, buy it! This is an evil technology. The person who invented this soybean is too evil. His invention is just like Leo Hendrick Baekeland, who invented plastic. It is definitely a bad invention. 】
[Big cake of the Nile: @ environmental beautiful girl, you hypocritical guys waste a lot of food and resources, but you talk about environmental protection all day long. If you had experienced the feeling of hunger, you wouldn't fart here! 】
[Shepherd in the Hindu Kush Mountains: We should be able to grow soybeans here. If we can introduce them, we will be self-sufficient in food. 】
[I was furious because of silicone: Smecta, this soybean is a product of genetic modification. There must be safety issues. I will not eat this kind of thing. Everything from Siris is garbage. 】
[Hometown of kimchi: @成冠伊狠是silica gel, you can check out where the kimchi you often eat is produced. 】
[Johnson Keynes: The soybean industry in South America is finished. It is truly a crusher of developed countries. Now even South America will be crushed, hahaha! 】【Antonioni Hook: @Johnson Keynes, haha, don’t you América have something to do? Moreover, much of the bulk grain production in South America is controlled by ABCD. What does it have to do with ordinary farmers like us? It would be better if ABCD is finished. 】
[Hair-losing Liu Zi: Fortunately, technology is in the hands of civilization. 】
If it were the Internet, there would be a lot of demons dancing around.
The performance of all the forces in reality is no less impressive.
ABCD held a video conference overnight.
Not only did it happen within their company, but the four companies also communicated quickly and even approached their respective consortiums behind the scenes.
Noah A. Locke, the new spokesman for the previously severely damaged Locke Consortium, frowned during the internal video conference of America's top ten consortiums.
Robert McCormick Jr., the rotating spokesman of the Chicago consortium, looked solemn: "ABCD and major investment banks have been severely hit, and the estimated losses may exceed US$50 billion."
As one of America's major consortiums, the Chicago consortium has many industries in the agricultural field, and Robert Jr. has felt the pain.
Of course, other consortiums are not much better, especially the Morgan Consortium, the Locke Consortium, and the First Bank Consortium. These consortiums with huge businesses in the financial industry have all been severely slapped.
"What did Cargill say?" George Dupont sneered, puffing on his cigar.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Robert Jr. conveyed Cargill's conditions to everyone: "They expressed their willingness to accept shares and can give up 49% of their shares."
"Haha, too few."
"That's right, it's not just a question of the futures market, it's a question of whether Cargill can persist in the future."
Other consortiums that have not suffered too serious losses will not give up the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"I will tell them." Robert Jr. did not agree immediately. After all, this matter still needed the consent of the Cargill family.
John Morgan, the spokesman for the Morgan consortium, did not care about Cargill's shareholding division, but began to discuss more important matters: "Let's talk about how to deal with Siris!"
"Now that ABCD has lost the initiative, we have no way to stop Siris from promoting that soybean variety." Robert Jr. has a very headache.
"Huh..." George Dupont did not speak, but continued to smoke.
"Can we attack Siris through other realms?"
The speaker from the California consortium sneered: "Haha, haven't we tried it in the past few years? The other side of the chip can already be mass-produced. Even if it is only 7 nanometers, it is actually enough."
"Damn it!" Ryan Mellon gritted his teeth.
Rogers Hunter of the Texas Consortium looked helpless: "There is no way. Before, we could restrict the opponent through grain and iron ore. Now there is no way to play the grain card, and the iron ore card cannot be played casually."
The people at the meeting were all smart people.
As the chip cards are ineffective and the food cards become more offensive and defensive, the only remaining iron ore card cannot be used casually.
Because the iron ore card is used, the opponent will definitely counterattack on the food card.
You must know that if Sendou soybeans are promoted on a large scale, it will not only be a problem that Siris does not need to import grain, but can be exported in the opposite direction. This is the case for the three grain exporting regions of Australia, North America, and South America. A devastating disaster.
Unless a market as huge as Cyris can be opened to consume the extra 200 million tons of grain.
There is indeed another large country in this world with a population of 1.4 billion.
The problem is, let alone importing grain, that damn place is also a grain exporting country. Despite the internal environment of starving people to death, it still exports tens of millions of tons of rice every year. It is expected that this place will eat 200 million tons of grain. It is better to let the main grain-producing areas reduce production.
In other regions, although there are many large regional countries with a population of over 100 million, the consumption power of these regions is too poor. Unless they sell half of their food and half give it away, it will be difficult for them to absorb such a huge food production capacity.
Face this situation.
Before, I felt that the advantage lay with my América consortium, but now I no longer had the composure, only deep worries remained.
If you flip the table, you will most likely not be able to beat it.
If you don't lift the table, you can't control the other party.
Now both sides hold economic cards that can severely damage the other's core industries. Unless they want to perish together, they can only maintain a fragile balance amid mutual fear.
As for finding an opportunity to kill Jiang Miao, the instigator, these consortium talkers did not mention it. Although they wanted to kill this scourge, the deal is now done. Even if they kill Jiang Miao, they will not be able to change the world structure.
Of course, small matters such as assassinations do not need to be mentioned in such meetings. They will definitely arrange them afterwards.
The top priority now is to find ways to preserve ABCD and avoid a collapse of the entire European and American grain industry.
John Morgan opened his eyes. Although there was anger and unwillingness in his eyes, he still expressed his thoughts: "Let ABCD give up part of the grain industry in South America and bring in Seris's grain companies. They will not let go." Take this opportunity.”
"But this will greatly increase their influence in South America." George Dupont frowned.
John Morgan shook his head: "No, South America is closer to us, and our other layouts in South America are still there. The other side has no way to control South America, and in order to maintain the agricultural industry in South America, they can only import from South America. Food, otherwise South America will become their enemy.”
"This is a method, but I am really unwilling to do so!" Robert McCormick Jr. was very unwilling.
John Morgan, an old fox, is clear about the current situation: "Part of the food industry in South America must be abandoned, otherwise we will not be able to save the food industry in the mainland and Australia."
"That's all."
"We cannot give up completely, at least we must retain a small part, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress the other party's development in South America in the future."
William Mather of the Cleveland Consortium suggested: "Should the iron ore side start a secret plan to paralyze the iron ore they invest in Africa?"
"It's useless. Have you forgotten that they put into operation a 1 million-ton flash steel plant some time ago?" Ryan Mellon reminded.
Hearing this, William Mather fell silent again.
Although this so-called flash iron smelting technology does not have the rumored 3,600 times efficiency, this technology has improved a pain point in the Seris steel industry, which is the cost of low-grade iron ore.
In other words, even if there is no high-grade iron ore from Australia, Brazil, and Africa, the Seris Steel Industry can still use local low-grade iron ore to make iron at a cost lower than the current oxygen blowing method that uses high-grade iron ore. The stove is still a little low.
The approximately 20 billion tons of iron ore reserves in Seris, coupled with the large amount of scrap steel stored privately, can enter the internal steel cycle at any time.
Therefore, the iron ore card can only temporarily increase the cost of the Seris Steel Industry. This card will become invalid in a few years.
This time the food wars clash.
Europe and the United States can only retreat in South America. Unless they have the ability to absorb the huge production capacity in South America, they can only give up their cars and keep their leaders.
Noah A. Locke, who did not speak during the whole process, had a look of thought on his face after ending the video conference.
He looked at the document in his hand. It was the investigation report of Jiang Miao.
"There is something wrong with this person! The forces hostile to him have all suffered various blows..."
Originally, he had not doubted Jiang Miao. After all, his father's death was beyond the control of a small entrepreneur.
But everything that happened now forced him to re-examine this person.
