Chapter 356 Emotions; grains returned to the warehouse (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!!)
Although he has not driven a tractor for a while, Guo Yang feels good about himself.
The breeze is gentle and the sunshine is soft. This weather is also very suitable for outdoor sports.
On the salt grass beach, Guo Yang and Catherine played happily for an hour or two before stopping.
"How is it?" Guo Yang opened the door and jumped off the tractor, "Isn't it a worthwhile trip?"
Catherine also got off the tractor with her long legs and smiled: "It's better than I expected."
"It subverted my previous understanding. This trip to China was really not in vain. ."
"You can come here often in the future."
Seeing Catherine nod, Guo Yang said mysteriously: "Maybe you can come to China to work and live."
Catherine. Surprised, he smiled and said: "Will I run the farm with you?"
Suddenly, Guo Yang didn't expect Catherine to be so straightforward, but this seemed to be Catherine's usual style, confident and straightforward.
Guo Yang smiled and said nothing.
The tractor has stopped at the side of the road, and the two of them are walking on the flat grass.
Although the road is smooth, it is not hardened. Under the long-term sunshine, the slightest movement can stir up dust in the sky.
Although the surrounding area is grassland, it is also a salt-alkali flat. The occasional sporadic alfalfa and red willow flowers are almost withered.
Guo Yang couldn't say he liked Catherine.
When she didn't hear the answer she wanted, Catherine's disappointed look flashed past and she turned around and got into the off-road vehicle.
The two came out alone, and there was a bit of silence on the way back.
After a while, we passed by an oil sunflower farm.
In early autumn, sunflowers are in full bloom, and the golden flowers cover the fields, making it a spectacular sight.
Catherine's attention was also drawn.
"Guo, this flower is so beautiful."
Guo Yang thought for a while, and being silent like this was not the answer.
Park the car, open the door, and take out a pair of pruners and ribbons from under the door handle on the right side of the cab.
Then I got off the car, jogged for two steps, picked out a few blooming sunflowers and cut them out one by one.
Guo Yang also carefully cleaned the leaves, then picked up the colorful ribbons and tied up the bouquet.
I'm a bit shabby. After all, the art of flower arranging was an elective in my previous life. Although I studied it seriously, it was mainly a part-time credit.
When the book is used, it will be less regretful.
He was in a hurry, and in just a short while, sweat broke out on Guo Yang's forehead.
At this time, Catherine also got out of the car, saw Guo Yang's actions clearly, and couldn't help but smile.
Then he came over and didn't say anything, but he helped with his hands.
Suddenly touched by smooth and tender skin, Guo Yang looked at Catherine in surprise.
It’s just that Catherine’s methods are also very smelly.
This made Guo Yang more confident, relaxed, and recalled some of the key points he had learned.
So that when a bouquet is made, the effect is not bad.
"Give it to you."
"I hope you will grow towards the sun and follow the light like this flower."
Katherine accepted with a smile, "Thank you, I like it very much."< br>
"Just like it."
At this time, Catherine, who was holding Sunflower in one hand, opened her other slender arm, wanting to give her a gentle hug.
"What are you doing!"
"Fuck, TND, that's oil sunflower! You sunflower! Do you know what oil sunflower is? Are you using it to pick up girls?"
A rude anger Drinking ruined the good atmosphere.
Although Catherine didn’t understand what the man was saying, she was still holding a freshly cut sunflower bouquet in her hand!
You don’t have to think about it to know what happened.
"What should I do? Guo? Is there a problem?"
"It's okay."
Guo Yang didn't want to run away. He could still enjoy this area, and he also wanted to see it. What bastard was the one who ruined his good deeds!
After a while, the person came closer.
The wrinkled skin looked like that of an old farmer. At this time, he was also looking angrily at the sunflower that was cut off by Guo Yang.
"I also brought pruning shears and came prepared. It seems I am a repeat offender!"
"Seeing that the harvest is about to be harvested in a few months, I took precautions, but the roadside suffered disaster. !"
"You wicked thing..."
The old farmer cursed, but when he saw Catherine's figure clearly, he was stunned again. This blond hair and blue eyes are quite good-looking, but looking at it Not like the Kazakhs!
Isn’t he really a foreigner? !
Guo Yang said at this time: "It was my fault for cutting your flowers. I bought them. Tell me the number. How much?"
At this time, the old farmer looked at the car, then at the person, and then He looked down at the car again, checked the license plate number, and asked uncertainly: "It's from Tianhe?" Work license plate."
"No need, they are all from the same family, I can recognize them."
In addition to the pickup trucks, Jiahe also has the same model of off-road vehicles, bought in the same batch, with the same license plate. Most numbers start with 7.
So it’s easy to recognize.
Knowing that it belonged to Tianhe, the old farmer put down his guard, but he also complained.
“Aren’t there ornamental sunflowers in the Tianhe flower garden? It’s a pity that my oil sunflower has been cut.”
“It’s urgent.” Guo Yang glanced at Catherine, “ This is a German friend.”
The old farmer was stunned and gestured with his thumb, “Cow”
The old farmer felt that he should use his sense of being the protagonist, looked at Catherine, and asked: "These flowers are beautiful, do you want some more for you?"
Catherine looked at Guo Yang doubtfully.
Guo Yang: "He asked if the flowers look good? Do you want to cut more?"
Katherine blinked, "Is that okay?"
You really Want it!
"Then cut 3 more bunches, no, 4 bunches." Guo Yang said with a smile: "Go back and give them to your sisters."
The old farmer lost his aggressiveness at the beginning and turned into a hardworking and kind farmer uncle. Helped the two of them cut a few more flowers.
The contrast between before and after caught Guo Yang a little off guard.
After a lot of trouble, four more bouquets of flowers were finished, but the ribbons were gone, so I could only find a few ropes to tie them up, but the effect was okay.
On the way back, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Facing the setting sun, Guo Yang, wearing sunglasses, drove all the way to the scenic spots in Jiayuguan.
After waiting for a while, Victor’s family also came out of the scenic spot.
Guo Yang helped Catherine give brilliant sunflowers to several ladies present, and won repeated praises.
Compared with the reservedness of Chinese people, these people really talk about it all the time when expressing their feelings.
Of course, Fran complained, "Guo, actually we men also need gifts."
John smiled and said: "Maybe it would be a good choice to have delicious food again in the evening."
…
With the end of the Olympics, the visas of Catherine's family are also about to expire.
Airport.
"Sister, are you and Guo dating?" the younger sister Rebecca asked, and the others were also full of curiosity.
Looking at the concerned eyes of everyone, Catherine smiled bitterly, "You have such a big idea!"
"Will Guo come to Europe to develop?"
"No, he said here Because of his career, he will not leave China, and I don’t want to leave Germany.”
“That’s right, I can’t bear to leave you.”
The group walked towards the airport, Fran said. : "If it were before, I would advise you not to come to China, but now I find that it is not that bad here."
"On the contrary, it's good. Everything is prosperous." Lisa breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Catherine didn't want to come to China, but smiled: "If you want to come to China, I will also support your decision."
"Thank you." Catherine looked back again, "But Victor Farm is more suitable for me."
......
August 25, Sunday one.
There was a slight chill in the morning air, and Guo Yang, who had put himself in good spirits, began his busy days again.
The Olympic Games have ended, but for Jiahe Cereals and Oils, it is just getting ready again.
Because of rumors about genetically modified fish, the Olympic promotion effect of Arowana was far worse than expected.
This made both parties hold their breath.
We just arrived at the office and before the tea was brewed, Ning Xiaojing walked in smartly.
"Boss, Mr. Gao sent news that a total of 76 lawyers across the country have launched lawsuits against labeling, and 9 cases have been filed."
Although the issue of genetically modified labeling has died down for a while, Jiahe Cereals and Oils has never given up. .
Not only Arowana, but also brands such as Fulinmen, Luhua, Huifu, Zhizhiyuan, etc., as long as companies involved in genetically modified labeling are within the scope.
The reason for this is to cooperate with the price war and make all soybean crushing companies switch to purchasing domestic soybeans.
Because the soybean harvest time is coming.
This year’s output is destined to be amazing!
After thinking for a while, Guo Yang said: "Let Mr. Fu take action and use all publicity resources and channels."
"Okay."
Seeing Ning Xiaojing standing quietly, Guo Yang asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Something suddenly spread in the company today." Ning Xiaojing whispered: "Say that you are happy Are the vegetables on the farm dead? ”
"What does this mean?" Guo Yang raised his eyebrows. He hadn't played Happy Farm for a while, but he didn't have many friends.
"I don't know either, but many people are talking about it, and they also talked about you driving a tractor over the salt flats in the past two days."
"Inexplicable!" Guo Yang said: "Don't worry about such a trivial matter."
He said don't worry about it, but Guo Yang still took a sneak look at several irrigation groups.
But I didn’t see why.
On the contrary, I accidentally saw some work progress and felt the undercurrent of the grain and oil industry!
In the factory, the processing equipment is fully powered;
In terms of transportation, it also maintains efficient operation;
In the supermarket, the shopping guide in charge of promotions enthusiastically pulls Every potential customer passing by introduced the details of the event;
In the base, mechanical harvesting equipment and transportation vehicles were also ready to go.
In Guo Yang's view, all this is just running in an orderly manner according to the established plan.
But in the eyes of other companies, Jiahe Cereals and Oils is going to pursue and fight to the death!
When the issue of genetically modified labeling of edible oil was widely publicized on the Internet, these people realized that trouble was coming again.
GMOs are like an invincible little strong, being entangled again and again.
I have taken advantage of it, and now I have to bear its consequences.
But before, I had no choice,
Now, don’t bother me, I’m afraid that domestic soybeans will be misunderstood!
Not only is China facing price wars and genetically modified difficulties, but the situation in North American soybeans seems to be even worse!
In fact, in the later stages of soybean growth and after the plants are sealed, weeds can be controlled.
However, farmers in the United States who choose to control weeds have calculated and found that this year’s soybean production cost is well over 3,600 yuan/ton.
In previous years, this number generally fluctuated between 2,400 and 2,800 yuan/ton.
This is equivalent to an increase in cost of 800~1,200 yuan/ton.
In addition, farmers who allowed weeds to grow were even worse, with soybean production nearly cut in half!
How much subsidy can the federal government provide?
How much subsidy is needed to make up for the price advantage?
The two major professional organizations infoma and "Oil World" have pessimistic expectations. Weeds cannot be controlled and fire ants are still destroying the land!
The federation's weapons of food are falling apart.
In addition to the grain and oil agencies, Bloomberg even published an article saying that the federal government is considering using more powerful weapons to defend the interests of farmers.
However, the sluggish economic situation in the old United States has dragged down all this!
The federal finance is also about to collapse!
When the news spread back to China, soybean crushing companies that used imported soybeans as their main raw materials were shocked.
Everyone is clamoring to fight genetically modified soybeans, and the cost advantage of imported soybeans is gone.
Boss of major companies have changed their tune.
Faced with pressure, Fulinmen publicly expressed his position in front of the media for the first time.
“Fu Linmen is already establishing purchasing channels for domestic soybeans. In the future, it will gradually reduce the processing of genetically modified soybeans, and even completely replace them with domestic soybeans!”
The industry has called this an act of stupidity. At the beginning, you kept saying that imported soybeans have a price advantage.
How come you turned around and sold your brothers?
So immoral!
However,
Sun Mengquan, chairman of Luhua, said, "Supporting the development of domestic soybeans is an unshirkable responsibility of grain and oil companies."
This is almost the same tone of most companies. While there is still time, they are rushing to contact domestic soybean production bases.
There are also bosses with rude tempers, "If this guy doesn't transform, he will die, or he will transform like Huifu Cereals and Oils and move bricks!"
Tietouba will not have good results.
Huifu Cereals and Oils just chose to grit their teeth and fight to the death.
His boss Shi Kerong has not appeared in public, nor has he said anything.
The media speculates that this may be related to the railway logistics and ports that Huifu has spent huge sums of money to purchase in South America in the past two years.
Abandoning imports means at least hundreds of millions of dollars have been wasted.
After learning of this situation, Gaode shouted to Shi Kerong, "Jiahe is willing to purchase Huifu Grain and Oil's resources in South America at market prices."
This time, Shi Kerong finally showed up, but Rejected the Jiahe acquisition without hesitation.
“Jiahe Cereals and Oils is betting heavily on domestic soybeans and promoting domestic soybeans to replace imported soybeans, which is also driven by profits.”
“Jiahe doesn’t care about the profits from soybean processing, because as long as it realizes the substitution of domestic production for imports, it can benefit from every link.”
“But other companies can’t. As long as Jiahe chooses to fight a price war, other companies will benefit from it. The enterprise is a fish waiting to be slaughtered.”
“Jiahe Grain and Oil is a cancer!”
“The choice of oil and fat enterprises should not be to compromise, but to resist the development of this unhealthy industrial chain! ”
Huifu also chose Zhi Zhiyuan from Pengcheng.
Guo Baichun also criticized Jiahe in the media.
“It is not only a cancer in the edible oil industry, but also a cancer in the soybean crushing industry!”
Gaode doesn’t care.
Guo Yang didn't take it to heart even more.
Price war is a very flexible weapon, and Jiahe has never wanted to monopolize the edible oil market.
Because under the new economic situation, any stubborn resistance will look stupid and extremely ridiculous.
As time enters September, soybeans across the north and south have begun to enter the harvest period.
The weather is good everywhere this year, and a bumper soybean harvest is a natural thing.
The harvest even exceeded many people’s expectations, and local media everywhere were scrambling to report on it.
“Domestic soybean harvest is good, the market is no longer cold about the genetically modified crisis in North America.”
"Interpretation of the code of soybean harvest in black soil - improve seeds first, plant thickly in fertile soil."
"Soybeans enjoy a good harvest, and farmers earn more."
"Autumn grain returns to the warehouse, Qilu Land has beautiful scenery . ”
A gust of autumn wind and a chill, three springs are not as busy as one autumn.
In autumn, the forests in China's strata are all dyed, and the fertile fields are golden. Harvesters are shuttled in the fields, and soybean and corn grains are returned to the warehouse.
On the other side of the ocean at the same time.
The 158-year-old Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, triggering violent turbulence in global financial markets.
