Chapter 216 Prosperity and hidden dangers

Hong Shavadi.

Yangon, a commodity trading center.

Ahasi, the president of Persia International Trading Company, completed another purchase of 6 tons of palm oil.

He walked out of the office provided by the trade center.

Then I saw Lai Shengli, the business manager of COFCO Group in Hongshawadi next door, also walked out of the office.

"Hello, Manager Lai." Ahasi smiled and greeted in English.

Lai Shengli also had a smile on his face: "President Ahasi, do you want to have dinner together?"

"Oh? No problem."

The two sides left the trade center building together.

The Yangon Commodity Trade Center is a special institution established by the Hongshawady government, but this institution has been contracted to the Aoba Group.

The international bulk commodity import and export trade in Hongshawadi needs to be carried out in the Yangon Commodity Trade Center.

There are price rolling halls for domestic and foreign bulk commodities (including the consultation front desk), membership application and review offices, import procedures offices, export procedures offices, data management offices, member-only offices, member-only trading rooms, and business negotiation rooms (exclusive and public two).

Hundreds of large companies including COFCO, Samsung, Mitsubishi, Temasek, Chia Tai, Hong Leong, Coca-Cola, Unilever, ABCD, Roche, Tata, and Aramco have established offices here office or branch.

And they set up an office or branch in Yangon, naturally for the benefit.

Walking out of the member-only office area, you came to the trading floor.

The LID display screen composed of commodity plates is hung on the bracket above the hall, and the real-time prices of global commodities are scrolled differently.

Thousands of seats are set up in the lobby for temporary use by some customers in need.

Lai Shengli glanced at the price scrolling information of the grain sector.

It was found that the trading price of soybeans remained at a high level and showed no signs of falling, but the price of rice was only 3300-3500 gold dollars per ton at this time.

"Manager Lai, you have imported a lot of food this year!"

"There are so many people, there is no way." Lai Shengli replied with a smile. The import quantity cannot be concealed at all. Even if COFCO does not disclose it, Hongshawadi will disclose some transaction data.

Ahasi also showed a helpless expression: "Our country is the same. We can only reserve more. Fortunately, Hong Sawadi agreed to use natural gas and oil for settlement."

"I don't know if Hongshawadi can withstand the pressure." Lai Shengli sighed worriedly.

Ahasi is well aware of this, even though the current trade between Hongshawadi and various countries is booming, but the gold standard currency, the gold dollar, is itself a provocation to the hegemony of the US knife.

Now if it weren't for America's powerlessness caused by other things, it is estimated that Hong Shawadi would have been besieged by America and a group of younger brothers.

Persia is not so brave.

In the past, many people thought that the gold standard currency in Hongshawadi was likely to be a small trouble in their homeland.

The current situation is beyond the expectations of many forces.

With more and more powerful commodities in Hongshawadi and the gradual increase in gold reserves, the scale of gold coins issued by Hongshawadi has officially exceeded 5000 billion.

Among them, Luzon has reserved about 730 billion gold dollars, the Bank of China has reserved 273 billion gold dollars, and Siam has also successively reserved 133 billion gold dollars.

According to this momentum, the gold dollar in Hongshawadi has begun to threaten the hegemony of the US knife.

This is why Lai Shengli is worried.

Once America frees its hands, it will definitely suppress Hongshawadi with all its strength, and the possibility of using force will not even be ruled out.

Now many of the grain, soybean meal, and corn kernels in Hongshawadi are exported to China, which has greatly filled the soybean supply gap of ABCD.

The light industrial products and mechanical equipment produced by Huaguo enterprises are also exported to Hongshawadi in large quantities. The total trade volume between the two sides in the first eight months of this year has reached 1736 billion gold dollars.

Although due to Hongshawadi's trade balance strategy, Huaguo enterprises did not get much trade balance, but at least both sides exchanged the materials they wanted.

Half a month ago, Lai Shengli also signed a soybean purchase contract for next year on behalf of COFCO and the three major groups in Hongshawadi.

At a price of 6250 gold dollars per ton, equivalent to 4500 Chinese dollars per ton, 1500 million tons of genetically modified soybeans were purchased from the three major groups in Hongshawadi.

As for whether the three major groups can supply such a large amount of soybeans, and how to expand production capacity, there is actually no problem at all.

After the integration and development of the three major groups, Hongshawadi currently has 2034 million hectares of arable land, equivalent to about 3 million mu. In addition, there are 1000 million hectares of wasteland, sparse woodland, and hillside land that can be developed.

Most of these 3 million mu of arable land are planted once a year.

With the improvement of various water conservancy facilities and infrastructure, coupled with the localization of pesticides and fertilizers, it will be possible to achieve two or even three seasons a year in the future.

That is to say, if the total arable land potential of Hongshawadi is based on the yield per mu of the North China Plain as a reference base value, it is equivalent to about 13.5 billion mu under the condition of extreme development.

Next year, the three major groups plan to use one season of corn and one season of soybeans to fully integrate the current 4000 million mu of corn land and 2000 million mu of soybean land.

Including the genetically modified soybeans of Aoba Group, the yield per mu can reach about 360 kilograms, and 6000 million mu of arable land can be planted with soybeans for one season, which can produce about 2100 million tons of soybeans.

Except for the 600 million tons of soybeans used by the three major groups, the rest can be exported to COFCO.

Of course, this is in the absence of natural disasters, and the two parties have also agreed on the reduction of production due to extreme weather in the contract.

Fortunately, there are relatively few extreme weather in Hongshawadi, and typhoons rarely visit Hongshawadi. As long as the drought in the dry season is well dealt with, there will be basically no major problems.

Therefore, Lai Shengli is now worried about America.

There are no natural disasters in Hongshawadi, but it is not necessarily free from man-made disasters.

And the force most likely to cause trouble is none other than America.

ABCD suffered heavy losses in soybeans and rice before, and originally planned to take advantage of the soaring international food prices to take advantage of the opportunity to recover a wave of blood.

Now it's cheating.

The long-term soybean contract signed with Luzon earlier forced them to supply 600 million tons of soybeans to Luzon V at a low price every year.

After North American soybean production areas were affected by mildew, South American soybean production areas were also doomed. Both soybean production areas are under the control of ABCD. This year, the overall soybean production has decreased by more than 60-70%.

Many farms had to replant corn, peanuts, and wheat.

Soybean production has been reduced on a large scale, and prices have also gone up.

But ABCD is not happy, because of Luzon’s long-term contract, they have to supply Luzon with 425-3800 million tons of soybeans at a price of 500 US dollars per ton (equivalent to 600 gold dollars).

On the other hand, soybeans and other grains from Hongsawadi, as well as rice from Siam, have also greatly filled the capacity gap of ABCD.

The current situation is that the global grain is running at a high level, but ABCD has only obtained a small part of the benefits.

Obviously, the existence of Hongshawadi and Siam has affected the rapid blood recovery of ABCD.

Relying on Shengli's understanding of those pirates, ABCD will definitely not let it go, nor will it find problems from itself, but will try to mess up Hongsawadi and Siam, or other important grain exporting countries.

As long as there is a problem with these two important grain exporting countries, there will be another surge in global grain, and then ABCD will be able to recover blood severely.

It is precisely because of this potential crisis that COFCO has no choice but to speed up grain purchases across Southeast Asia and increase its own upper limit of reserves to deal with future emergencies.
