industrial maniac

In the capital world, so-called companies are just tools for capitalists to make money.

And tools basically have a service life.

Therefore, when the company's residual value is squeezed out, no matter how big the company is, even if it is the number one in the world, it will also enter Enron, Lehman Brothers, North American WorldCom, old Chrysler, etc. Following in the footsteps of megacorporations.

When Xiaobu ran for the general manager, his purpose was like Romney's most famous sentence: "My governor is an investment. If I don't earn a hundred times and a thousand times during my term of office, they will laugh at me and say that I am a failure." By. '

Therefore, Bain Capital has become one of the world's three largest investment consulting companies.

Therefore, Carlyle Investments has not only successfully ranked among the top ten arms dealers in the world, but has also become a leader in the world's investment industry.

In the past ten years, Carlyle Investment has won the B2 order, won 900 M8s, won the missiles needed in North America to fight Iraq Krypton, won the ammunition supplies needed to fight the Afghan region in North America, and won the Supply orders for the keyhole series satellites, and purchased abandoned fighter planes from the Davis Monshan base at a low price, and sold them to Poland (East), New Zealand, Canada at a high price...

In addition, it has invested in the hound breeding base, Leifei Technology, Leipufei Technology...

It can be said that it took only ten years for Carlyle to reach the heights that most enterprises may not necessarily reach in a hundred years.

At the same time, it also means that Carlyle Investment has offended many people, exhausted its own reputation, and significantly shortened the life of the company.

For this reason, Xiaobu used the Carlyle consortium to dismantle the Carlyle investment, transfer out the high-profit industry, transfer in the debt-ridden industry, and plans to file for bankruptcy.

among them.

A profitable business like raising a dog must be transferred to his own name.

A profitable business like Leifei Capsules would naturally be transferred out, and eventually it was given to Raymond, the third shareholder of the Carlyle Consortium.

A profitable business like underwriting mechanical and electronic pet dogs also had to be transferred out, and eventually it was given to the Harden family, the second shareholder of the Carlyle consortium.

For example, the underwriting of graphite X, the underwriting of wing suits, the underwriting of civilian mechanical exoskeletons, the underwriting of children's electric vehicles, the underwriting of 3C network services, etc., such profitable transactions still have to be transferred out, and finally given to the Laobu family.

Of course, all of the above belong to the Carlyle Consortium, and to whom or not, only management rights and dividend agreements are given.

The remaining industries and businesses, such as the hundreds of billions in hound research and development expenses owed to the Iron Company, the research and development expenses of the Thunderfly Capsule, Graphite

As for whether it is reasonable to do so.

As the head of North America, Xiao Bu thinks reasonable is enough.

At worst, another plane crashes into a building, and the accounts of Carlyle's investment are reimbursed.

……

Faced with Xiaobu's inaction and the decision of "Xiaobu quit the White House", the four major grain merchants were disappointed and helpless at the same time.

Because Xiaobu, who retired to Texas, is equivalent to a local emperor, with the support of the Texas state capital, the Texas National Guard, the vast majority of farmers and the Texas consortium.

Although its influence is not as good as that of the 'North American Governor', its control of power is much higher than that of the North American Governor, and it can even influence the decision-making in North America through the 'state'.

Of course, the four major grain merchants don't know that the people who are about to run for election are Kling, Pope, and Romney.

Of these three people, one is darker than the other.

For example, Kling's death list is known as the political shroud.

For example, Romney's wild way is smoother than that of the North American manager.

For example, Super Soldier Pupu, everyone knows that this cornhead wears the same pants as a dog dealer, otherwise where would he get the honor of being a world speaker, and how would he be victorious in Libyan battlefields, let alone the Pupu International Hotel Management Group.

It can be said that no matter who these three brothers take office, the situation of the four major grain merchants will not be better than it is now.

However, the situation on the home planet is extremely complicated. Even JP Morgan is no longer involved, and even Xiao Bu has to retreat to Texas. Although the controllers of the four major grain merchants are at the top of the pyramid, they cannot see the future at all.

In the end, the negotiation came to nothing.

After half an hour.

The four major grain merchants in power left the White House and gathered in the Wharton Grand Hotel, which is controlled by Utah Capital.

After discussing with each other for a while, they quickly decided to put pressure on Xu Fei through the east.

People don't understand Qianlong and Heshen, let alone Shunzhi and Dorgon. They only know that the East is different from North America, where the official position is.

Xu Fei's job is nothing more than the person in charge of most-favored-nation foreign trade, the first person in charge of the Youth League, and the director of the Red Flag factory.

Replaced to North America, even if superimposed together, it is at most equivalent to a department head.

As long as everyone shows enough sincerity, I believe Dongfang will definitely be willing to help others.

Besides, what the four major grain merchants wanted was a compromise, not a fight with the dog dealers.

No one can refuse a donation of 50 tons of grain.

……

On the other side, Beijing.

The live video of Zeshi International Conference Center was also put on the super large XLED conference screen.

The deputy director who has become a full-time member, and the new batch of board members, can only sigh that it is an eye-opener in the face of the extremely powerful Mr. He.

In other words, our own camp is accustomed to being subtle and euphemistic when communicating with the outside world.

Mr. He should be the first person to put pressure on the outside world with tough measures in the past few decades.

So much so that Uncle Sun was extremely excited, Director Lan was quite proud, and the old lady of the Supply and Marketing Council even sat up from the hospital bed.

Suddenly, the secretary of the deputy director hurried into the conference room.

"The leaders, ADM, Cargill, Bunge, and Louis Dreyfus, respectively called the office and said that there are some things that can be discussed, and they can also make a profit."

"This is urgent." After the deputy director sighed, he remained indifferent. "Food is an insurmountable red line, especially for us with a large population. .”

There was one thing the deputy director didn't say, and that was: Mr. He has become half Dorgon.

It's not about power and armaments, it's about youth regiments.

When teaching these mass groups to each other, no one expected that such a giant as the Youth League Education Foundation would be developed.

And no one would have guessed that today's teenagers are all full of vigor, all positive, and all advocating making the East great again.

Seems like a good thing.

But those who have experienced 'history' are all frightened.

Because it's too familiar.

If you replace the copper badge on your chest with a bust, and replace the three stripes on your arms with red armbands...

Just ask, who doesn't have a numb scalp?
Especially the street lights in the capital are so high, so thick, and so bright...

……

Walton Grand Hotel.

The four major grain merchants in power have received replies from the East one after another.

The content of the four letters is quite subtle, the words are particularly euphemistic, and the text is so long that the translators read it dozens of times, but finally failed to understand.

"This seems to be perfunctory to us."

After the ADM leader finished speaking, he suddenly realized, "They are just like Xiao Bu, and they are not willing to get involved in this matter."

"Obviously, there's something we don't know about it," said Bunge in power.

The person in charge of Cargill: "The world situation is complex, with the invasion of microorganisms in West Asia, the strong rise of Germany, and the construction of shelters in the East. Let's not talk about things we don't know. What I can be sure of is that the price of food will definitely increase significantly in the future."

"Then us?"

"One of us, go there in person and talk to the dog dealer again. If it works, everyone will live in peace. If it doesn't work, we will raise the price of food to the highest point."

The person in charge of ADM nodded, "Then let me do it."

……

Sawa City, International Conference Center.

Xu Fei interviewed the four major grain merchants, which lasted only one morning.

The next few days will leave room for consideration for the four major grain merchants.

Wait until April 4th.

The ADM ruler arrives in Zeshi.

Xu Fei, adhering to the host's concept of hospitality, rushed to People's Square to greet him in person.

The two sides showed their faces in front of the news media, and revealed some internal information to each other.

For example, this interview went very smoothly, and world food prices may fall.

For example, no matter whether the iron sheet agriculture can buy food or not, it will provide at least 150 million tons of rice to support the war-torn areas in West Asia.

For example, the grain production in the northern hemisphere has decreased, but the grain harvest in the southern hemisphere has ushered in a bumper harvest.

In short, the world is normal, stable and peaceful.

When the two parties entered the International Conference Center one after another, a new round of interviews began again.

Xu Fei: "Actually, my requirements are not high. I just hope that the mother planet, which is in turmoil and is plagued by natural and man-made disasters, can survive this period safely. After all, food is the most important thing for the people."

"Mr. Xu, Gao Yi, our four major grain merchants are willing to pay, but your request is too high, and we simply can't afford that much grain." After the ADM ruler finished speaking, before Xu Fei could speak, he continued: "In this way , Mr. Xu, we took out 100 million tons of grain and donated it to West Asia in your name, what do you think?"

"One million tons? Nowadays, wheat costs 100 cents per catty, and one ton costs 5 red banknotes. One million tons x 1000 red banknotes, which is about 100 billion red banknotes, or 1000 million U.S. dollars. At our level, are you sending away beggars?"

"How much does Mr. Xu want?"

"3 million tons of wheat."

The person in charge of ADM was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Do you really think we have so much grain? You know, wheat has a shelf life. Even if we have the technology to extend the storage period, there is no guarantee that we can stockpile it for more than 5 years. Loss, accidents and other factors, we hold up to 2.1 million tons of wheat."

"Really? You can disclose the location of your granaries. After a while, I will rob all the other granaries, so I won't hurt you by mistake."

"..."

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Xu Fei said, "Actually, we can have an open chat. Let's put it this way, Debei needs food. As long as you sell it to me at a low price and let me complete the KPI, I will give priority to any good projects in the future. you."

The people in power of ADM have seen too much "big pie" and are used to hearing "empty promises from capitalists". They are unmoved and said, "Mr. Xu, we really can't produce that much food."

"So, does that mean our talks have broken down?"

"If you plan to cause a fire in North America, a waterway blockage in Malta [-], or a general strike by farmers in South America, whatever you do, including the killing of senior officials of the four major grain merchants, we will bear it, and we will not retaliate against you, let alone announce anything publicly. "

"So, you plan to accept it?"

"We have no choice."

"It looks like I'm going to be a villain once."

Xu Fei looked at the ADM ruler with a 'victim' expression, nodded slightly, "Send off."

……

North America, White House.

Xu Fei's negotiations with the four major grain merchants failed, and North American executives gathered together to discuss what might happen next.

Although Xiaobu decided to quit the White House, it is only April now, and there is still nearly a year before the election in November and his departure in March next year.

Just like factory director Xu, a model labor model, he gets one day's money and one day's work done.

In any case, Xiao Bu must also consider the interests of North America, although this North America contains too many motley people.

He was the first to speak, "In terms of commercial competition, Xu Fei has almost never used despicable methods. His best operations are to use new materials and new ideas to create new products and then ban old things. However, these methods cannot be applied to food. field."

North American Business Director nodded, "Unless he invents a new 'food', which obviously cannot happen."

The person in charge of the North American Economic Council: "This way, we can be sure that the price of food will inevitably rise sharply in the future, and even because of the revenge of the four major grain merchants, it will skyrocket."

Xiaobu: "We need to buy a batch in advance, or store it for our own use, or wait for the price of grain to rise before reselling."

The North American executives who participated in the meeting, after a little thought, agreed.

Soon, the House of Representatives drafted a purchase bill to purchase 6000 million tons of wheat, 2 million tons of soybeans, and 4000 million tons of corn.

Half an hour later, the Senate reviewed it, the North American Supreme Court reviewed it, the White House signed it, and the bill passed.

at the same time.

Dongfang, Wadao, Nanbangzi, Southeast Asian countries, European countries... have formulated procurement documents.

The four major grain merchants, which control 90% of the world's grain transactions, must be overjoyed, and even deliberately procrastinated, sitting and watching the price of grain soar.

On April 4, the price of wheat rose from fifty cents a catty to fifty cents.

On April 4, the price of wheat rose to 25 cents.

On April 4, the price of wheat broke through a record high, reaching 30 cents.

Correspondingly, the price of steamed buns also dropped from four for one yuan to three for one yuan, two for one yuan, and even two for one yuan, and the steamed buns began to become smaller.

On May [-] Labor Day, countries all over the world protested against the practices of the four major grain merchants and negotiated with the four major grain merchants.

Too bad it's useless.

In particular, fires did break out in North American farms, and the Maldives Channel was blocked by giant ships. However, farmers in South America saw the international food prices skyrocketing, but the prices for their own food purchases remained unchanged. As someone said, a general strike did occur... …

……

On May 5st, Daze, the workshop office of Iron Sheet Company.

The second sister watched the news and asked curiously: "Director, we obviously didn't do this, why does it happen again?"

"Because capitalists smell money from these things."

After Xu Fei's negotiation failed, he was not discouraged in the slightest. Instead, he smiled every day as if "the factory manager did a little trick, and the enemy would be hooked".

"But the factory manager, we still can't buy food."

"Why should we buy grain? Is it because the yield of genetically modified soybeans in the Mobei farming project is not high? Or is it that the yield of genetically modified corn is not high? Or is it that in the non-district farming project, the yield of conventional soybeans and conventional corn is not high?"

"This……"

"We hold one-third of the world's arable land, which is equal to one-third of the world's annual grain production. If we want to start a grain trade war, we can win no matter what."

"Then why are you still doing this?"

"Because I want to be the fifth largest grain merchant in the world."

As Xu Fei said, he started his laptop and checked the farm that his family opened in outer space after the successful commercialization of the space elevator project.

Thanks to the base module, as long as there is enough metal in the base, you can build unlimited platforms.

At this moment, a green platform shrouded in translucent metal with no edge visible at a glance appeared in front of my eyes.

The eggplants here are up to one meter long.

The watermelon here weighs a hundred catties.

The pumpkins here look like houses.

The wheat here is as big as peanuts.

This is space breeding technology.

In other words, under the influence of microgravity and complex magnetic fields, and being baptized by cosmic rays, seeds can easily complete the 'gene mutation' that only the laboratory has tried its best to achieve.

These mutations make the seeds reborn, and most of them evolve in a 'good direction', such as faster maturation, stronger disease resistance, and significantly improved product quality.

If the RNA technology of the citizen hospital is added to intervene in the growth of crops and the pollination of crops from the level of 'messenger', the overall effect will increase by N grades.

Therefore, science and technology are really the primary productive forces.

After watching, Xu Fei switched the screen and found the two space dogs who had been hungry for a week. He took photos and videos, and then quickly gave the old dogs delicious food.

Then he uploaded the video with his personal feelings, "It's another big trouble. After the space elevator was attacked, the staff who landed in space to open up the space station returned, but forgot about these two brothers. Now the space platform is facing problems such as food shortage and lack of oxygen." "

On the same day, the German North Aerospace Agency decided to conduct a space reinforcement based on humanitarian concepts.

That is to bring back the two space dogs.

The move has been supported and even donated money by all dog lovers around the world.

However the next day.

Not long after the manned space rocket was successfully launched, astronauts from Debei photographed two dogs farming on the space platform before arriving at the space platform.
