Chapter 805 (2/2)

”Sunrice rejected our offer to buy a farm in northern Australia, even though we offered a premium of 11. According to sunrice's person in charge of negotiations with us, this decision was made by Cargill, the parent company. ”

As we all know, 80% of the global grain market is controlled by the four major ABC companies. The four companies are USA a, bonge, Cargill and Louis Dafu. It can be said that global food prices are basically determined by these four companies.

It is not difficult to find that three of these companies belong to the United States. It can be said that the global food market is basically under the control of the United States. Although the United States has never declared that the grain market must be settled in US dollars, the rice in the global people's bowl has never left the control of the United States.

In 2004, when the soybean crisis broke out in China, the American gave the Chinese people who had just joined the WTO a painful ”trade lesson”. Up to today, more than ten years later, China's soybean planting industry has not recovered from the crisis of that year.

Before 2004, China was one of the major soybean producing countries.

It is no longer the barbaric Victorian era. The battlefield between countries does not rely on the brutality of real weapons. By using the invisible leverage of the market, we can even achieve things that nuclear weapons can't do.Whether it is an orbital space station or a lunar base, the only industry that is difficult to be self-sufficient is food production. Even if it can be achieved by hydroponics and air culture, it is difficult to control the high production cost.

With the space elevator, the cost of transporting food to outer space will be greatly reduced, but it is still difficult to get rid of the control of the four ABC companies from the source.

At present, the new country's grain basically depends on imports from Australia. If Jiang Chen attacks the US dollar at that time, the United States, which has broken its face, will undoubtedly start to beat up the new country in the grain market.

The new country, which relies entirely on imports for its production from grains to dairy products, has no defenses in the food market.

There is only one way to minimize the price fluctuation in the international market, that is, to produce by ourselves, and to change from an importing country to an exporting country. Even if the rice does not grow on the land of Koro Island, it must grow from the overseas farms controlled by the new country's domestic enterprises.

To achieve self-sufficiency in grain production is very important for the future development of star ring trade. Therefore, Jiang Chen ordered Xia Shiyu to put forward an asset purchase plan for sunrice, which monopolizes the export of Australian grain, and hopes to purchase 400000 mu of farm in northern Australia from his hands.

However, it is a pity that Cargill, which controls sunrice, is not willing to give up its farm, although the 400000 Mu farm only accounts for a small part of sunrice's cultivated land.

”Contact with Cargill of the United States”

”they are not willing to talk about it at all.” Xia Shiyu shook his head. ”My proposal is to register a subsidiary in Australia and purchase farms from Australian farmers through subsidiaries. Although the cost and efficiency of this are not directly proportional, it is certainly much less difficult than pulling one's teeth out of a tiger's mouth.”

As one of the granaries in Asia, Australia's agricultural product market is quite mature, and no farmer is willing to sell his farm. After all, many Australian farmers have been living on it for generations, and they can't find other jobs without their farms.

They won't nod at all unless futurists offer a high premium.

Jiang Chenyi also made a mistake.

Everything is good in Xinguo, but the area is a little smaller. At that time, he didn't think so far when he chose the base area. He thought that he could buy everything with money and lack in the economic globalization. However, when the plate was big, he found that things were far less simple than he had imagined.

It would be nice if we could change thousands of square kilometers of territorial sea into land, and so on.

thinking of this, Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly brightened.

It's enough to keep the farm at sea.
