Chapter 115 Harvest
After the storm of gold dollar counterfeit banknotes.

The time has come to early February.

At this time, a quarter has passed since ABCD launched the food war.

Due to the tropical monsoon climate in Luzon, a year can be roughly divided into three seasons, namely the rainy season from April to December, the cool season from December to February, and the dry season from February to April.

Normally, although three crops of rice can be planted a year, in actual agricultural production, only one or two crops of rice are planted.

The late rice is harvested from January to February.

This year, there are not a few farmers in Luzon planting second-season late rice. The planting area has reached 382 million hectares, of which hybrid rice occupies 154 million mu.

The total planting area of ​​one-season rice in Luzon is about 600 million hectares, and the yield per hectare is about 3 to 4 tons.

This time, 382 million hectares of late rice can be harvested, and it is estimated that 1300 million tons of rice can be harvested.

Only during this year's harvest, the ABCD-led grain group quickly put a large amount of rice into the global market.

The price of rice plummeted rapidly.

The purchase price of rice in Manila has dropped by 42% year-on-year, and this downward trend is still unstoppable.

Farmers who had resisted the pressure to buy high-end chemical fertilizers and pesticides because of the high price of rice were now in a situation where they lost all their money.

In the northern part of Manila, there are a large number of small farmers and farmers who have lost everything in this food war.

There was almost wailing everywhere, and none of the rice-growing farmers was spared, especially those farmers who had borrowed loans, and fell into despair.

Just now.

A convoy of grain purchases entered the village.

The big horn on the car rang here.

"The rice is harvested, one ton is fifteen thousand..."

Hearing the price of 3300 pesos, the farmers who have rice at home feel desperate. You must know that a ton of rice reached about [-] pesos (equivalent to [-] Chinese yuan) a year ago.

But so what if you don't sell it, maybe the price will be even lower in a few days, especially for farmers with loans at home, it is even more painful.

Juan, as an employee of the food company under the Harvest House, naturally knows that the price of 1.5 pesos is already the highest in the region.

Soon a farmer who couldn't hold on came over.

"Boss, how about seventeen thousand?"

Juan didn't look at the pitiful expression of the other party, but replied very formulaically: "[-] is already the highest in Manila. If you don't believe me, you can go outside and ask."

The old farmer was a little hesitant, but when he thought that his eldest son had borrowed money from the bank, if he didn't pay, the land in the family would be confiscated by the bank.

Seeing the old farmer's hesitant expression, he knew that the other party might be in debt, which was in Juan's arms, and he said with a smile:

"Dude, if you want to sell at a high price, it's not impossible."

"What? What can the boss do?" The old farmer seemed to be grasping at straws.

Juan drew out a contract: "This is the application form for joining the agricultural cooperative. As long as you join the agricultural cooperative, everyone is a family..."

"Agricultural cooperative?" The old farmer had obviously heard of it. After all, the Fernando family and the Lopez family were engaged in land annexation in the south, and this matter had already spread throughout Luzon.

Some hostile forces have even maliciously added fuel to their own territory, demonizing the actions of the Fernando and Lopez families.

Therefore, the first impression of old farmers on agricultural cooperatives is not good.

Juan said with a smile: "Do you know why your rice can't be sold for money? This is all caused by Marcus, Ayala, and Aquino. If they didn't cooperate with international grain merchants, the rice in Luzon would How can it rise first and then fall, don’t forget what happened in 08.”

"These bastards..." Several other younger farmers cursed.

Why not just engage in public opinion attacks, and make it look like who can't do that.

Homo sapiens is even more comprehensive. It not only starts with TV broadcasting and the Internet, but also directly connects with local rural areas through agricultural cooperatives, logistics channels, and purchasing fleets in the countryside.

In addition, ABCD and those big families have criminal records. With a little guidance, the memory of the Luzon people was awakened.

After Juan broke the news about the conspiracy of ABCD and the big family, he brought up the issue of rural cooperatives again.

"What are you working so hard for? It's not for basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, and children. Joining an agricultural cooperative provides various subsidies and land rent. You can also work in the city or on a farm."

"If you have a loan, you can also transfer it to the name of the agricultural cooperative. At that time, you can give you a period of time, or you can directly sell the land to the cooperative and use the money to live in the city."

The old farmer hurriedly asked: "Is it really possible to transfer the loan?"

"Yes, but the cooperative needs to charge a little interest, not more than 10% per year."

Under Juan's flickering, more than a dozen farmers with loans agreed to join the cooperative. In addition, some farmers seemed to have been to the demonstration farms in the south and chose to join the cooperative.

In fact, Juan is not purely fooling people. After all, the cooperative under the leadership of Haitian Agriculture really has many benefits.

The same acquisition convoy as Juan quickly advanced to the rural areas of northern Luzon.

At this time, the Marcus family was too busy to take care of themselves, because their behavior angered Lao Du. Although Lao Du had selfish intentions, he did not want Luzon to be harvested by ABCD.

the other side.

Within the Aquino family.

With the cooperation of soldiers, Cairns Aquino directly controlled more than a dozen core members, and then quickly carried out a large-scale cleansing of the family.

The Ayala family, who had been very low-key before, died of a heart attack in North America. The two sons were imprisoned for various things in less than three days.

James Ayala, the new head of the Ayala family, quickly appeared on live TV with Cairns Aquino and Xu Yingming, apologized to everyone, and announced the joint ABCD between their family and the Marcus family.

This wave of self-destruction directly plunged the Marcus family into a very passive situation.

This also makes ABCD very painful to watch.

But it was too late for ABCD to save the Marcus family. Lao Du and the other families acted very quickly and ruthlessly, sending the core members of the Marcus family to prison.

Then it is to carve up the territory and interests of the Marcus family.

And this time the fiasco of the Marcus family is different from the previous ones, this time there is basically no chance of a comeback.

Because the core territory of their family has been divided up, the core members have been taken down again, and the evidence of collusion with ABCD is solid, now no one in Luzon dares to speak for the Marcus family.

With the demise of the Marcus family and the betrayal of the other three families, ABCD should be wiped out in Luzon.

But this does not mean that the ABCD will let it go. They continue to push down the international rice price, while increasing the price of chemical fertilizers and pesticides sold to Luzon, as well as the purchase price of cash crops.

The purpose is to force Luzon farmers to reduce the planting area of ​​rice and corn in the next season and expand the planting area of ​​cash crops. As long as it continues for one or two years, Luzon's grain reserves will definitely not be able to withstand it.

Homo sapiens has no fear of this at all, because with the integration of various internal families, the interior of Luzon is basically stable now.

With the spare granary of Hong Sawadi, ABCD will only find that they are doing useless work in the end.

Of course, we still need to suffer from the peasants first.

The Homo sapiens company united various family forces and started a large-scale harvest. Before the ABCD harvest, they cut the leeks themselves.
