Chapter 529 Backhand in Europe
"From the perspective of not having international competitiveness, agriculture in island countries is a failure."
In the Jiahe headquarters office, Guo Yang looked at Shikiki Masumi jokingly.
"Even if the tariffs reach 1,000%, farmers are still not satisfied, which is comparable to South Korea in the world.
It is just because of a serious rice blast disease that the entire island country's rice supply has been affected. Such agricultural production capacity has built a high wall for agricultural product trade protection.
It seems that in the island country, Marubeni is far inferior to the Agricultural Association. ”
Kashiki Masumi's face changed, "The agricultural association is indeed in great momentum and will also import agricultural production materials, but they are very cautious about liberalizing the import of agricultural products.
With the help of the Economic and Economic Cooperatives, Marubeni has liberalized the trade in agricultural products a lot.
The gradual shrinking of agricultural production in island countries is also related to the impact of low-cost products abroad.
As for rice blast disease, this disease occurs every year and will have a major outbreak every once in a while, and the impact is not long-term. ”
Guo Yang pursed his lips and didn't take it seriously. He was very confident about the rice blast disease he created this time.
This is an exclusive gift from the island country.
The rice blast disease that can only occur on a large scale in land environments with high radiation volumes has an extremely exaggerated transmission speed.
At present, there should be no solution.
"So Jiahe does not plan to change partners for the time being."
Guo Yang looked at Masumi Kashiki who was quite confident, "But in the long run, if you want to solve the fragility of agriculture in island countries, the agricultural association must overcome the hurdle.
Moreover, if the scale of farming cannot be effectively expanded, agriculture in the island country will gradually fade. ”
Kashiki Masumi pondered: "Your country also has such a problem. The area of arable land is broken and the small farming makes the income much worse than that of other industries."
Guo Yang smiled and said, "China is different. China has large farms. The most important point is that the land in our country is all publicly owned, and farmers own 30 years of use rights, and they can continue to use it after the expiration of the period.
There is no agricultural organization like the Agricultural Association, so the resistance to land transfer is far less than that of you.
And now we are a food exporter. ”
Kashiki Masumi was stunned.
He also has some inertial thinking, believing that China is also working hard like island countries.
Once the economy develops, the gap between industry and agriculture will widen, and China's small-scale farmer model will also be broken. However, China's land mechanism is more flexible and the land is operated on a large scale very quickly.
Island countries are privately owned by land. Due to some historical reasons, farmers in island countries also have heavy land plots.
Even if it is abandoned, few people will sell their land.
In addition to the direct abandonment, there is also a part of them who only regard agriculture as part-time.
This brings up a new problem. A large part of the land that could have been ripe for two a year ended up only producing one quarter of grain, and the land use efficiency was very low.
The specialization and scale of production are the only way for agricultural development of major countries.
In terms of yield level, the island country's agriculture is very strong, but the broken arable land makes the cost also high.
The income from a small piece of farming is completely incomparable to other industries in the city.
At the same time, internationally, countries with low labor costs or large-scale agricultural production have been completely crushed.
Therefore, the island country dare not let go completely.
Marubeni never thought of completely letting go. It is already scary to import so much food from China every year.
If even the staple food and rice are controlled by China, the entire country will have no power of resistance.
Kashiki Masumi said a little sourly: "Huaxia can become a major grain exporter thanks to companies like Jiahe."
"Marube can do it." Guo Yang filled the tea with Shimu and smiled, "But you have to kill the farming association first."
Kashiki Masumi shook his head, "This is too difficult. The political status of the Agricultural Association is too high. Those politicians dare not."
Guo Yang said: "If the Farmers Association has problems, I think there may be such an opportunity now."
Kashiki Masumi was surprised.
Guo Yang didn't care, "The Agricultural Association's business coverage is very wide, but it only makes huge profits in the banking and insurance industries, and at the same time uses it to fill the deficit of agricultural-related businesses.
As far as I know, the large-scale rice blast disease in island countries this year has caused many agricultural cooperative insurance portfolios to have a crisis of ineffective turnover. ”
"You mean insurance?" Kashiki Masumi said in confusion: "But as soon as the rice blast disease is relieved next year, the crisis will be gone."
"This crisis should not be so easy to alleviate." Guo Yang pondered: "It may even worsen."
Shikiki Masumi's face suddenly changed, and even a thought flashed through his mind that it might be Jiahe's making trouble.
Guo Yang noticed it and said, "This was not discovered by Jiahe. Many experts on your side should have noticed it. The rice blast disease in the past two years is a bit unusual.
I think Marubeni can do something about it, and the Farmers Association may have big trouble, and even have to resort to the Economic Cooperatives' companies. ”
Kashiki Masumi frowned and pondered for a while, "You can give it a try."
"This is your business, Jiahe will not participate, but I heard that your country has increased its import of grain from Eastern Europe and reduced the import quota from Jiahe?"
Kashiki Masumi nodded awkwardly, "The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has import quota requirements in various countries."
This can only be a fool, but Guo Yang didn't say much.
What he cares about is the entire island market.
The reason why he made an appointment with Masumi Kashiki was to attack the Agricultural Association.
In order to preserve and increase value, the insurance funds of the Agricultural Association will invest in assets around the world: funds, stocks, futures, and even real estate bonds.
In recent years, the investment of the Farmers Association overseas has not been very smooth.
In the past two years, there was a snow disaster in the island country, and nearly 100 agricultural insurance portfolios had poor turnover.
This time, the rice blast disease has a wider range and greater harm, and the insurance compensation pressure of the Agricultural Association is very high.
But rice blast will evolve.
The pressure on insurance compensation of the farmers' association will only intensify. At this time, dig holes for the farmers' association in finance, and it will be twice the result with half the effort.
The farmer association is likely to be finished.
No, the Farmers Association passes on the crisis, but the prices in the entire island country are not far from collapse.
After Kashiki Masumi left, Bi Qiang returned from the island country and then told Guo Yang about the current situation of rice blast disease in the island country.
"The island country's rice production can't be restored within a few years."
"This is exactly the answer I need."
Bi Qiang felt very happy to be able to push the island country into the abyss with his own hands, "When can we solve it?"
Guo Yang: "This day is not far away, but in addition to the island country, there are other enemies to deal with at the same time."
Bi Qiang: "I understand, South Korea."
Xijie Company and South Korea are naturally within the hunting scope of Jiahe, but Jiahe's goals are far more than that.
…
At the end of the hot summer, the northern hemisphere has generally entered a bumper harvest period.
But one is happy and the other is sad.
The food in China is as stable as ever.
The island countries next door and South Korea have suffered severe blows.
Koshirota, president of the Central Association of the Island Country Agricultural Association, compiled a document and invited two other partners: Shuang Kamei and Matsumoto Matsumoto.
Kaori Shuang is the president of the Federation of Farmers Associations and is in charge of the circulation and trade of agricultural products.
Matsumoto Masahiro is the chairman of the Treasury of the Central Agricultural and Forestry Centre, managing financial business and one of the largest banking groups in the island country. Xiao Xilongtai said: "The data summarized from the grassroots agricultural associations is that rice yields have been severely reduced this year. More than 70% of the farmland has experienced production cuts to varying degrees, and 20% have been eliminated. The grassroots agricultural associations are already organizing production measurements and are preparing to apply for insurance compensation.
We are under a lot of pressure.
The country is now facing a rice waste, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has released reserve grain, but is considering increasing import quotas. ”
Kamei Shuang said: "If it is relaxed, the price of rice will inevitably drop, and our losses will also intensify!"
"We will not agree to a large-scale import of rice." Xiao Xilong sighed: "But rice blast disease, this is a natural disaster, insurance compensation cannot be avoided!"
Both of them looked at Matsumoto Masaki, who pondered: "If there is a subsidy, I can survive this year."
Xiao Xilongtai: "What about next year?"
Matsumoto Matsumoto: "If this continues next year, I think it's time for me to get out of class."
In fact, Matsumoto Matsumoto took office shortly after he took office. The previous chairman suffered a big blow in the investment in bulk agricultural products and had already stepped down.
Xiao Xilong Tai and Kasumi Shuang looked at each other.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"The compensation must be paid, otherwise the reputation of the Farmers Association among members will be lost."
"But import control and tariffs must be strictly controlled, otherwise the deficit will not be controlled in circulation."
"That is, prices will continue to rise sharply."
"We can only suffer the people more."
When facing a choice of interests, the three giants of the island country's agricultural association quickly made a choice.
"Let's wait next year, rice blast disease should be able to be controlled next year."
North America,
Monsanto was already dying, but the vast majority of farmers did not relieve their hatred for it at all.
Especially when harvesting, the super resistant weeds that appear from time to time are still reminding them of the crimes Monsanto has committed.
To deal with these weeds, farmers' production costs have increased by more than 40%, and crop yields have also been greatly reduced.
South America,
The bushes that disappeared decades ago on the Cerrado Prairie seem to be reborn, and farmers are equally suffering from resistant weeds.
In the impact of sugarcane and cotton that began a few years ago, a large number of farms in South America went bankrupt and changed their surnames and changed their owners.
Industrial capital from China controls a large number of farms in South America.
But this cannot change the fact that South America's agricultural production capacity is also declining.
Romania, Ukraine,
With the investment of Chinese companies such as Jiahe, Romania and Ukraine's grain production capacity is rising, and relying on high grain prices, their agricultural fields have also lived a comfortable life.
However, when he is involved in political struggles, such good days are over.
Western Europe,
The agriculture in old Europe is still very good.
However, if you can beat it, it is mostly cash crops, and there is not much grain available for export.
And Western Europe agriculture is not without troubles.
After leaving the laboratory for a while, Guo Yang thoroughly found out about Jiahe's situation.
Business overseas has encountered some resistance, but the global food crisis is still intensifying.
As long as this is there, Jiahe will always have a market overseas.
At the same time, as China replaced a large part of the grain exports, some other agricultural powers are still adjusting their planting structure.
So the global food supply has not collapsed.
In this process, Huaxia and Jiahe, which mastered the largest grain source, both made huge profits.
Moreover, political influence in some countries and regions has become stronger.
Some countries are increasingly dependent on China on food, such as island countries and South Korea.
As long as domestic control is taken, these countries and regions will feel uncomfortable, and the panic caused by food shortage will sweep the whole world.
———
It's the end of October.
Guo Yang came to Lan City and appeared in Quanwang Biology's research center, where bags of new feed additives were placed together.
"Plevimi's performance is OK, too."
"Without the EU's restrictions and robbery, Pulevime has defeated other European feed giants."
Yu Qin looked at the feed additives in bags, "Relying on these products, Puleweimei can send billions of RMB of net profit upstream of the industrial chain every year.
If you count all the purchased raw materials, this number can be increased by 2 to 3 times.
Without EU restrictions, the industrial chain of Puleweimei can bring tens of billions of yuan in trade to the country every year. ”
"I'm contented." Guo Yang laughed and said, "If the EU steals our plants, it will inevitably pay the price."
Yu Qin: "I haven't seen it yet, I only see that the livestock in the EU are getting stronger and stronger."
Guo Yang smiled and stared at Yu Qin: "Actually, I told you a long time ago that you can't not know that there is an abnormality."
Yu Qin's face remained unchanged and said, "I do have a question. There are two new feed additives that have great effect, but they are strictly prohibited from being sold in China."
Guo Yang spread his hands, "Look, I've actually given you a clear card, but you're pretending to be stupid."
After a while of silence, Yu Qin asked, "What consequences will it cause?"
Guo Yang: "Foot and Mouth Disease."
Yu Qin raised his eyebrows and said, "Britain and the United States have completely eliminated foot-and-mouth disease, which is difficult to pose a threat to them."
"This is not necessarily the case." Guo Yang asked, "How long have the two new feeds been sold?"
Yu Qin: "It's three years."
"Then the entire Western developed countries are widely used, and it is almost the last outbreak."
Guo Yang was very frank and did not hide it from Yu Qin that it was made by Jiahe.
He believed Yu Qin had guessed it long ago.
Guo Yang patted him on the shoulder, "I won't go abroad soon, Plevime let him develop on his own first."
Yu Qin smiled and said, "I don't plan to go either. I have been hiding with Ge Wenyao these two days. Jiahua is now at its peak and unstoppable. The market value is straight to 200 billion."
Guo Yang asked, "Is Ge Wenyao still messing with his fashion industry?"
"Yes, maybe the only failure of Jiahua is to invest in fashion industries such as watches and jewelry, but it has not improved. Fortunately, the quality of daily chemicals and beauty products is strong enough."
"The fashion industry is indeed not good." Guo Yang smiled and said, "But when he made a promise, let him make trouble. Anyway, the money has been earned dozens of times."
"What are you talking about behind my back?" Ge Wenyao suddenly appeared outside the door.
Guo Yang was a little surprised. Yu Qin was really not feeling at all. "We are waiting to see you mess with the fashion industry group."
"I can't make any moves."
Ge Wenyao said: "This time I came to the northwest, I just wanted to step down. I'm relieved to hand over Jiahua to Jiahe."
