The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

v1 Chapter 197: food war

Talking at the dinner table is a unique way of emotional connection in China.

Zhao Jiangchuan arranged the meeting with Ye Tan at the Pujiang Hotel in Hongkou.

Pujiang Hotel is a century-old restaurant in the true sense.

Founded in 1846 (the 26th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty), it was formerly known as Licha Hotel.

Founded by RICHADS, a Westerner, it is the first western business hotel since the opening of the city and even in the whole country.

On February 21, 1882, the Danish Great Northern Telegraph Company opened the first artificial telephone exchange in Shanghai, and the Pujiang Hotel was the first to connect.

This is the first public telephone in China to be connected.

In 1901, the first electric lamp in China was lit at the Pujiang Hotel.

The Pujiang Hotel, which has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes, has witnessed the trials and splendours that Magic Capital has experienced for a hundred years on the Bund.

As soon as you leave the hotel, you can see the famous Waibaidu Bridge, and in the hotel room, you can see the beautiful scenery of the Pujiang River.

A century has passed, and the buildings of the World on the Bund have retained their original appearance, but the interior has long since been remodeled.

Only the Pujiang Hotel, even the wooden floor of more than 100 years ago, has been preserved intact.

To greet people like Ye Tan, the Pujiang Hotel is naturally the best choice.

In the hotel's largest box.

Zhao Jiangchuan and Ye Tan smiled and shook hands.

"Boss Ye, I'm really sorry this time. You are a senior. I should have visited Ningbo as a junior, but unfortunately the company has been busy recently, so I have to trouble you to go. Jiang Chuan is deeply ashamed."

"Where is Mr. Zhao, the boss and senior are called by others. Mr. Zhao is young and promising, and he has given Ye Moutian a lot of face to be able to take time out of his busy schedule to entertain Ye."

After some polite remarks, the two sides sat down first and second.

As soon as he saw Ye Tan himself, Zhao Jiangchuan knew why Zhang Hua said he couldn't bear it.

Thirty Ye Tan exports.

Wearing a white coat, he looks quite elegant.

This kind of temperament does not seem to be a big man fighting in the financial market, but a Confucian businessman.

But Zhao Jiangchuan could feel that there was still a kind of domineering arrogance in Ye Tan.

Despite that domineering, it was concealed by Ye Tan's dress.

When Zhao Jiangchuan looked at Ye Tan, Ye Tan was also looking at Zhao Jiangchuan.

Young, elegant, and very personable.

This is what Zhao Jiangchuan is above the appearance.

But Ye Tan only saw arrogance and domineering.

Undisguised domineering.

The positions in the box are clearly arranged, and it is obviously deliberately arranged.

Zhao Jiangchuan sat unceremoniously in the main seat, without any push, and his domineering aura was undisguised.

Such an arrogant young man.

But Ye Tan didn't care.

Anyone who can master countless capitals is not arrogant.

The efficiency of the restaurant is very high. Not long after everyone sat down, the meals were all ready.

As the intermediary of this meeting, Zhang Hua naturally became the drinker.

He picked up the wine glass on the table and toasted the people on Ye Tan's side from time to time.

"Boss Ye, you are a guest from afar, so Zhang will do it first as a respect."

"Mr. Zhang Hu, I have heard your name when I was in Jinhua. Come, we are all from the family, and I will give you a toast to you, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Hua toasted like drinking wine, and the people on Ye Tan's side were naturally not to be outdone.

Zhang Hu picked up the wine glass, stood up and raised his hand towards Zhao Jiangchuan.

"Zhao Gongzi, I, Zhang Hu, a rude person, can't say anything nice, but Zhang admires the operation of amphibole on G Fen wine. I toast to you."

"Mr. Zhang Hu, we haven't finished drinking yet. You don't give me face. We should continue drinking this glass of wine."

"…"

Under Zhang Hua's encouragement and escort, Zhao Jiangchuan didn't drink a glass of wine.

After discovering this, Ye Tan involuntarily narrowed his eyes.

What a terrible driving ability.

Zhang Hua's disciple, Ye Tan, had long known that he was an old fox who couldn't keep his hands slipping after rolling and crawling outside for more than 30 years.

However, such an old fox was brought under his command by Zhao Jiangchuan.

Not only that, Ye Tan could sense Zhang Hua's awe for Zhao Jiangchuan.

The appearance of constantly fighting and rotten wine is like trying desperately.

Zhang Hua knows his family affairs from his own family.

Zhao Jiangchuan doesn't like drinking, he knows it. In this case, since Zhao Jiangchuan didn't take the cup on his own initiative, he can only follow it all.

Even if you drink to death, you have to follow it all.

Who let him not resist the pressure of Ye Tan, and finally agreed to go back to be a microphone.

After three rounds of wine.

Both Zhang Hua and Zhang Hu were drinking with red eyes, and even Ye Tan was respected several times by Zhang Hua for various reasons.

It's just that Zhao Jiangchuan still didn't drink a glass of wine.

Clear priorities, clear winners and losers.

In a small fight, Zhao Jiangchuan's side won, and Ye Tan's side was completely suppressed.

It seems to be just a fight, but it is not a confrontation between Ye Tan and Zhao Jiangchuan.

For the purpose of this meeting, even if no one mentioned it, both of them knew very well.

Everyone wants to get the upper hand, everyone wants to take the initiative.

When Zhang Hua conveyed Zhao Jiangchuan's meaning, an invisible confrontation began.

Unfortunately, from the moment Ye Tan decided to come to the Magic Capital, he was already at a disadvantage.

However, Ye Tan is very personable, and now he is looking for a united ally. Naturally, the stronger the ability, the better.

Therefore, Ye Tan didn't plan to hide anything, he cut to the chase.

"Zhao Gongzi, I think you have guessed the purpose of my visit this time."

"I can guess one or two, but it still needs to be made clear by Boss Ye."

"Recently, there has been a lot of speculation about red beans in major exchanges. I don't know if Mr. Zhao is paying attention."

Red beans, Zhao Jiangchuan really didn't pay much attention.

Recently, his energy has been on the stock market and dark water, and he has not invested much energy in the futures market.

It was nothing more than the information occasionally collected by the Intelligence Department, and he took a few glances.

However, Zhao Jiangchuan could guess that since Ye Tan mentioned Hongxiaodou, there was a reason, he just had to listen.

Ye Tan has not been paying attention to Hongxiaodou for a day or two.

It didn't take long for Ye Tan to explain the current situation of the red bean market.

The words are quite intense.

It seems to be very unhappy that Japan wants to destroy the red bean variety with money to suppress the market.

After learning about the current status of the red bean market, Zhao Jiangchuan raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

For him, this routine was all too familiar.

food war.

A noun that few people have ever heard of.

Even in later generations, many people have not heard of the war between agricultural and grain.

In the later understanding of many people, China has always been a big agricultural country, and it seems that people no longer have to die because of one bite like the people in the 1960s.

Only people from rural areas know that in the next ten or twenty years, countless types of crops have disappeared on the land of China.

It was not until 95% of the soybean consumption in the entire Huaguo market was imported that people realized that the soybean cultivation in Huaguo had been completely destroyed.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

It was at that time that no one knew the words "food war".

On the surface, in the global agricultural trade system, international food prices are completely determined by market supply and demand.

However, the agricultural market in countries such as the United States is highly monopolized.

The cooperation between the USDA and multinational grain merchants is also very tacit.

Another important invisible killer is the investment giants on Wall Street. Several multinational companies actually dominate the pricing power of the international agricultural product market.

Eighty percent of the world's grain trading volume is controlled by the four hundred-year-old multinational grain merchants "ABCD".

They are American ADM, American Bunge, American Cargill and French Louis Dreyfus.

With the advantages of capital and experience, these four multinational grain merchants have achieved absolute control over upstream raw materials, futures, midstream production and processing, brands and downstream market channels and supplies.

These multinational grain merchants and American biotechnology companies have strategically cooperated to monopolize the supply channels of various aspects of the world's food.

From soybean to oil, from oil to okara, from finished grain to grain seed.

Relying on price and technology, under the pressure of capital, countries led by the United States have monopolized the food that people must consume.

Grain hurts farmers.

If farmers can't make money or even lose money every year from farming, will they continue to plant?

of course not.

Due to the cost of planting, under the pressure from price to output, the grain planting area in many countries around the world has been completely destroyed.

It was replaced by a high-rise building.

Relying on government subsidies and high production, American agricultural products are exported to any country in the world.

Not only that, but even grain seeds from many countries have been blocked by major biological companies in the United States.

Connaught's China is no exception.

More than 95% of soybeans are imported every year, corn distillers grains, rapeseed cake, oil and so on.

Even the staple crops of wheat and rice~lightnovelpub.net~ were stuck in the throat.

Kissinger once said: Whoever controls the food controls mankind!

Sadly, when the US grain seeds will also achieve a global monopoly, many people have voiced their approval.

genetically modified.

A high-tech biotechnology.

Through the modification of biological genes, genetically modified crops reduce pests and diseases and enhance their resistance to natural disasters…

The benefits are endless.

But the seeds for the production of genetically modified crops can only reproduce for one generation.

In other words, it is impossible for farmers who bought genetically modified seeds to screen out a part of the harvested crops as seeds.

Since ancient times, farmers have been able to select a portion of the harvested crops as seeds.

When all grains are genetically modified, the original seeds will disappear completely.

The economy is the driving force behind everything.

By suppressing market prices in the form of capital, using the economy to destroy each other's crops, and expanding the scale of production to achieve the purpose of monopoly.

Before Ye Tan finished speaking, Zhao Jiangchuan already knew what kind of war Hongxiaodou was.

This is very similar to the later soybean extinction war.
