Chapter 155 Changes in the situation

With the end of the Southeast Asian Rice War.

Hongshawadi suddenly surpassed Annan and became the third largest rice exporter in the world. At the same time, the rapidly rising international rice price was suppressed to a certain extent.

This makes the gold dollar even have a certain degree of premium in international trade.

In fact, Jinyuan has been very strong in the past half a year.

The main reason is that Hongshawadi’s rapid test strips and new drugs are in short supply in the international market. Many regions and companies now don’t care whether gold dollars can be exchanged for gold, but hope to purchase more new drugs and test strips.

Green Leaf Bank is also continuously issuing more gold dollars.

From January to September, additional issuances have been issued for eight consecutive months, with a total of 310 billion gold dollars issued, of which September has the most additional issuances, with 120 billion gold dollars issued in a single month.

The reason why there are so many additional issuances is mainly because Luzon promised that this part of the gold dollars will be eaten by Homo sapiens, and promises that it will not be exchanged for gold, but will be used to purchase rice and soybeans in Hongshawadi.

Therefore, this part of the gold dollar is actually linked to rice and soybeans.

Through the signing of this trade agreement, Luzon directly surpassed China and became the country with the most gold and dollar foreign exchange.

at the same time.

Grain merchants in Siam, Annan, and Tianzhu also suffered a lot of losses because of the rice hype this time.

Before, they cooperated with ABCD to lower the price of rice so that they could finally harvest Luzon together with ABCD.

Now that Luzon has defeated the ABCD offensive and won the stable grain supplier of Hongshawadi, the price of rice in other regions can no longer be raised.

If you can't eat meat, you starve yourself thin.

Another formidable competitor has been added.

Grain merchants in Siam, Annan, and Tianzhu are now crying without tears.

Of course, the price of rice has not fallen, after all, the world is generally short of food this year.

This is mainly because soybean production in North America has been reduced by more than 5000 million tons, and it is not known whether planting will resume next year. After all, after the fungus infects the crops, the land has not been disinfected, and there is a risk of secondary infection.

What is even more frightening is that after the outbreak of soybean downy mildew in North America, researchers discovered that this newly mutated soybean Phytophthora seems to have a soft spot for genetically modified soybeans.

Even if natural soybeans are infected, as long as they are sprayed with bactericidal pesticides in time, the production will only be reduced by 30% at most, unlike genetically modified soybeans that are completely wiped out.

Therefore, those who are worried about the spread of soybean downy mildew in North America, soybean-producing areas in South America have planned to temporarily stop planting genetically modified soybeans, switch to natural soybeans, or simply switch to other food crops.

The disadvantage of natural soybeans is that the yield per mu is relatively low.

In this series of chain reactions, corn and rapeseed, which are substitutes for soybeans, saw the highest gains.

And other grain varieties have also risen. The price of rice will definitely not fall, but it is very difficult to increase.

After all, the global rice consumption market is relatively small. Except for Asia, rice is rarely used as a staple food in other regions. Even if regions outside Asia purchase it, it is estimated that it can only be used as feed.

That's why, when a group of rice speculators saw that the grain in Luzon had stabilized, they felt that the sky was falling.

Because Luzon is one of the few regions in the world where rice is the staple food, but local rice production is insufficient and a large amount of rice needs to be imported.

Without this market, the impact on the rice industry will be extremely serious.

As for Dongying and South Korea, although the food self-sufficiency rates in these two regions are very low, they have food distribution all over the world, and many procurement contracts are long-term.

To cut the meat of these two regions, they have to get the consent of their wild father, America, otherwise small grain merchants like Annan in Siam will not be able to shake the entire rice market.

With one less target to be bullied, these small rice merchants seemed to lack confidence when negotiating with various buyers.

……

Manila.

After this rice war, a lot of people went bankrupt again.

It is nothing for ordinary people to go bankrupt, because Homo sapiens companies and various families controlled secretly will quickly absorb these labor forces.

However, many of those small rich people directly fell into ruin.

For example, Jollibee, once the largest Western-style fast food chain in Luzon.

The Chen family behind it, because of participating in the hype of rice, this time not only has their reputation stink, but the family's liquidity has also been exhausted.

Ike, the manager of the Manila Commercial Bank, personally brought people to the headquarters of Jollibee, and directly confronted its chairman, Chen Ming.

"Mr. Chen, can your company repay the 42 billion loan before the end of the year?"

The pale-haired Chen Ming showed a bitter expression: "I lost, I lost completely, Jollibee Company is on the verge of bankruptcy."

He didn't want to participate in this rice war, but unfortunately, under the temptation of a few friends and the persuasion of his son, he was still obsessed.

In fact, Chen Ming had no choice but to do so.

Because Jollibee's Western-style fast food not only faces competition from KFC and McDonald's, but also has been strongly suppressed by Fengrao Fast Food in the past two years, and its market share has continued to decline.

The number of fast food restaurants of Jollibee Company has decreased by 32% compared with two years ago; the annual turnover has decreased by 48%; in the first two quarters of this year, it also lost 12 billion pesos.

Faced with such a predicament, Chen Ming finally chose to give it a go and borrow money to speculate on rice.

Then he was targeted by Homo sapiens company, and he was directly caught in the trap.

Ike took out a document: "Mr. Chen, since your company can't repay the loan, I can only forcibly freeze all your company's assets according to the contract, and then conduct auction liquidation."

Chen Ming just kept silent about this.

Commercial wars are so cruel.

With a little carelessness, the results of decades of hard work may be wiped out in an instant.

There are not a few rich people who have encountered the same situation as Chen Ming.

Some people couldn't accept this cruel reality, and committed suicide directly; some seemed to have their spine removed, and their whole body was dejected;

And through this harvest, the wealth within Luzon was further enriched in the hands of Homo sapiens.

The underground conference room of Neihu Manor.

"Cheers!" Garfield shook the champagne in his glass.

Xu Yingming took a sip of champagne: "This time we won a big victory, and ABCD will definitely not dare to underestimate us in the future."

"My side is almost there. With the help of this east wind, many converts and external forces have been eliminated." After Zhang Jerry finished speaking, he put a piece of burnt lamb chop into his mouth.

Garfield put down his glass: "The boss is very satisfied with our battle this time, but this time we also broke our skin with America, we must be careful of them making trouble."

Zhang Jerry, who wiped his mouth, reminded with a sneer: "They are already doing something."

"Oh? Got information?" Garfield asked with concern.

Jerry Zhang nodded: "The Security Department has received definite information that the black ship in Southeast Asia managed by Victor is planning to target Medan Island, and they have also mobilized seven converts who have been hiding very deeply to cooperate. There will be 7 seals infiltrating at that time."

"What's the boss's plan?" Xu Yingming asked.

Zhang Jerry replied calmly: "The boss asked the blood blade to cooperate with me and keep them in Medan."

Hearing the news of the blood blade attack, Xu Yingming joked: "Blood blade attack? It seems that they will become the nourishment of the tropical rainforest."
