Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 638 On the Eve of the World's Fair

5 month 8 number.

Han Gaixi, International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The May Day Golden Week holiday has quietly come to an end, and the Three Systems Aerospace Exhibition is also drawing to a close.

The sparse number of visitors, apart from a few tourists, consisted mostly of domestic and foreign company representatives who came to inspect and introduce technologies.

10:00 AM, Q area.

Yu Yang wandered around while listening to the factory secretary's report.

"The democratic faction controls the vast majority of entertainment, sports, and news media in North America."

“International Jewish capital controls a large number of similar industries in Europe.”

"Now that the two sides have colluded, they have ample funds and can support each other, which is equivalent to jointly influencing public opinion in the world."

"Therefore, despite his risky parachute landing, under the covert manipulation of international Jewish capitalism and democratic factions, he not only failed to prove that he was still as capable as ever, but was instead described by celebrities from all walks of life as a 'dictator' and a 'local protectionist'."

"These celebrities, including movie stars, actresses, athletes, writers, hosts, and financial tycoons, all have a huge number of fans and extremely high profile."

"They say that the Bush family has been in politics for three generations, controlling all aspects of the North American Federation, and is the culprit for the decline of the North American Federation. At least seven or eight out of ten fans choose to believe this."

"They say that George H.W. Bush is returning to politics with the intention of turning the North American Union into a private kingdom, and his fans choose to believe it."

"And they also exposed the giant pineapple."

"It is said that with the destruction of plantations in Southeast Asia, the elimination of plantations in Africa, and the erasure of production bases in southern Mexico, the North American military, which controls plantations in Afghanistan and northern Mexico, has become almost the sole grower, supplier, and seller of this contraband."

"Due to the sharp decline in planting, the price of wheat flour remained high, and the Bush family, who dominated the North American military, naturally made a fortune."

"Then they called the Old Brooks family the 'White-Faced Family'."

"They even fabricated stories about human trafficking and organ sales, then smeared the Brooks family with a host of horrific accusations..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, the wheel of fortune turns. In the war of words between the three Americas, North America couldn't win the moral battle against us, so it secretly spread all sorts of rumors about us. I never thought that in just a few years, North America would also enjoy this kind of slanderous treatment."

“Chairman Yu, these things are not slander. After all, North America has really done them, and has been doing them all along.”

"Let them fight like dogs, we'll avoid getting involved and just enjoy the show."

"Okay... Next is the military-to-civilian conversion project of the three systems. After the three systems aerospace exhibition ends, we will hold a World Expo-like event under the name of Sanyuan Agriculture. In addition to the three systems, the participants will also include North American military-to-civilian conversion enterprises and European military-to-civilian conversion enterprises."

"Good."

The three-system military-to-civilian conversion project is mainly divided into three sections.

One is the Eastern sector, whose investors consist of entrepreneurs from three townships, primarily aiming to address employment issues.

One is the European sector, with investors consisting of European companies supported by the Three Systems' aid program, primarily aimed at addressing the issue of Three Systems' products being unable to reach Europe after the disruption of Asia-Europe transportation.

One is the Americas sector, where investors consist of companies participating in the bidding for the three series of projects with federal capital, primarily for the production and supply of dual-use products that meet global market demands.

We treat all three sectors equally.

The Eastern sector will acquire technologies such as anti-glare glasses, AR glasses, bulletproof vests, carrying equipment, gun peripherals, drones, armored vehicles, mechanical exoskeletons, individual combat platforms, embedded devices, core electronic components, and simulation applications. The European and American sectors will also receive these technologies.

only.

Companies in the Eastern sector, under the supervision of the Xunziqi (a government agency), are generally not required to hand over profits as long as they ensure employee benefits; they are self-sufficient and responsible for their own profits and losses.

In addition to paying licensing fees, equipment maintenance and repair fees, and engineering software usage fees, companies in the European sector also have to pay 20% of their net profit to the three systems.

Companies in the Americas sector need to register a company in the East, and then use the technology, molds, and production equipment provided by the three companies to invest in building factories, hiring staff, developing new products, and selling them externally, while sharing the profits equally with the three companies.

On the surface, the requirements of the three-line system for foreign companies in the Americas seem to be too harsh.

In reality, foreign companies in the Americas have already made a fortune in less than a quarter of the military-to-civilian conversion project.

Because the three series has a production capacity that surpasses the rest of the world.

Just like DuPont.

This behemoth, which started with gunpowder and has developed over 200 years with industries spanning agriculture, food, construction, communications, transportation, energy, and biology, has seen its business plummet in the past seven or eight years due to international competition (following ADM and being targeted by three factions), almost falling out of the Fortune Global 500.

In 96, its annual revenue was US$1200 billion and it had 35 employees.

By 06, its annual revenue was less than US$130 billion, its number of employees had dwindled to 2.4, and its annual profit was only US$2 million.

If things continue like this, DuPont will become a thing of the past in two or three years at most.

Therefore, in the first half of this year, before the auction of the three series began, the DuPont consortium mortgaged all its assets to obtain a three series loan through the California Rural Credit Union.

During the bidding process for the three series, they won a subsidiary of Sanyuan Building Materials with a single price and then rose rapidly.

In the agricultural sector, DuPont has adopted three-line formulas to launch more than 20 organic compound fertilizers, more than 10 inorganic fertilizers, and a series of nutrient solutions bearing the DuPont logo, covering agriculture, flowers, potted plants, and landscaping in Europe and America.

In the field of materials, DuPont has successively adopted the three-series formula to launch nylon, non-woven fabrics, fluoropolymers, titanium dioxide and other products bearing the DuPont logo, covering the European and American clothing, curtains, decorations and footwear industries.

In the pharmaceutical field, DuPont has successively adopted three-line formulations and three-line gene agents to launch health products, nutritional products, HIV resistance agents, AIDS isolation agents, and so on bearing the DuPont logo.

In the industrial sector, DuPont has leveraged its three-series business to launch a series of hardware tools, purification equipment, and three-dimensional display devices, leaving another global giant, 3M, almost unable to raise its head.

It can be said that the logic behind DuPont's resurgence is to leverage its three-line industrial chain, target the mature market in the Americas, and then achieve huge profits through rampant dumping.

No matter who the other party is, what they do, or how powerful they are, as long as their business is profitable, DuPont will inevitably get involved.

If you don't let DuPont plug it in, DuPont will make you ride a dirt plane...
Then there is.

The three companies also made concessions to American capital that participated in the military-to-civilian conversion project and established a company in the East.

Like the drain pipe in a washbasin.

SY anti-odor series, priced at 60 RMB.

The same style as generic brands sold in Shili Mall, priced at 15-30 RMB.

DuPont, through its own design and material selection, and using the same production line as the former two, launched the same model bearing the DuPont logo, priced at 48 red bills.

Not only does DuPont allow its products to be sold in the Three Series region, but it also helps promote them in the online sales industry, essentially handing over the mid-range market in the Three Series region directly to DuPont.

In this way, DuPont has established a certain market base in the East, Southeast Asia, West Asia, West Africa, and North America. Then, through a systematic supply chain, it can reach the European and American markets, and thus jump into the world's top 100 companies in just six months.

Once DuPont produces everything from adhesive tape, hair clips, thumbtacks, condoms, sanitary napkins, skincare products, to bathroom and kitchenware, jumping into the world's top 20 will be no problem at all.

Of course, one must be strong oneself to succeed.

DuPont's own-brand products, built through its three-tiered industrial chain, are of quite good quality.

It's at least more upscale than the cheap, no-name 3 Series, and more cost-effective than the expensive, high-end SY.

Companies like DuPont, which are essentially foreign-owned and whose names have remained unchanged, but which include the word "Oriental" in their names and pay taxes and support their employees in the East, include General Motors, John Deere, Caterpillar, ExxonMobil, and others.

This is equivalent to forming a special small capital group.

In Eastern parlance, this is called an American comprador.

However, capitalist societies do not have 'compradors,' hence the term 'global procurement.'

However, with the passage of the bill by the North American Congress to 'sanction the three groups and investigate their monopolies,' these companies that have just experienced making big money will face a sharp decline in their future due to their cooperation with the three groups.

It remains to be seen whether they are willing to give up the profits gained through the three systems and compromise with federal capital, or whether they will band together and stand up against federal capital.

Yu Yang leans more towards the latter.

And I really want to see the bigwigs at DuPont send the big money behind giants like Raytheon, Boeing, and Nvidia on a cheap plane.

Therefore...

"At the World Expo, we must invite all the foreign companies that have set up companies in the East, and arrange the highest-class banquets for them. We will also publicize this through the three major media outlets. I will then shake hands with each of them and express my gratitude."

"You just love making things worse, don't you? If the North American Federation finds out that so many of its people have fled, they will definitely speed up the enactment of the 'Sanctions on the Three Systems Act' to force these American companies that have poured into the East to sever ties with the Three Systems."

"That would make it more lively." "Should we invite old Smith?"

"Invite them, and make them seem like they can rival Yu Sanyuan, thereby illustrating how much the Smith Group is valued by superiors and how high its status is after entering the East. The more powerful and successful Old Smith is, the more the Bush family, the Northern Republic, and the International Judiciary hate him."

"Tsk tsk!"

···
After the factory secretary who came to report on the work left.

Yu Yang walked into the public canteen of the International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The architecture of the three departments has always advocated grandeur and simplicity, and this canteen is no exception.

With a ceiling height of 6.5 meters, a single area is comparable to a football stadium, and automated self-service food lockers are set up all around, with wheeled AI robots providing mobile services everywhere.

Visitors dining here can pick up a tray, have an AI robot help carry it, learn about the dishes while taking what they need, and then choose a seat to eat.

Alternatively, you can use brain-computer interfaces and AR glasses to select dishes from a virtual menu provided by AI, then have an AI robot pick up the food while you find a place to wait.

This operating system originated from the simulated restaurants and hotels in the simulation cultivation game.

The large and small models behind the latter were gradually perfected by hundreds of millions of players through development, experience, suggestions for improvement, and bug finding.

Or rather, 'simulated cultivation' has transitioned from a game to a 'model trainer' according to its own vision.

The three systems create models and launch gameplay based on their own needs.

The billions of players who entered the simulated cultivation game were divided into different gameplay modules according to their own interests, and then unknowingly helped the three systems complete their training.

Ultimately, the three departments transformed their training results into real-world applications, resulting in the Agriculture 4.0 version of the three departments' canteen.

In addition to the two dining options mentioned above, there are also:

Wearing VR glasses at home, you can virtually enter a large canteen to order food online, and then choose an AI robot to help you pick up the food and have it delivered to your door.

Outside, you can use the three-system terminal to select dishes from the cafeteria menu, then select 'delivery' to ask a delivery person to deliver the food to your location or to someone else.

Depending on their location, distance, and route, the foreign trade deliveryman could be a college student volunteer, a professional food delivery worker, an AI robot, or even an AI drone.

In short, do whatever is convenient for you.

However, this operating system is currently only deployed at the Sanyuan headquarters.

For companies like the Third Affiliated Enterprises and surrounding towns, the "personnel delivery" method is still in use due to employment concerns.

As a result, the Sanyuan Headquarters appears increasingly high-end, futuristic, and detached from reality to outsiders.

However, even in this environment, there are still some elements from that era that evoke a great sense of nostalgia.

For example, large-character posters on the wall promoting collectivism.

For example, red flags, portraits of great figures, and sculptures depicting the struggles of our predecessors.

for example···
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Who gave you permission to smoke here?"

As the scolding began, a burly woman wearing a red armband swung her hand and slapped a tall, muscular foreigner on the back of the head, slamming his head into his plate.

The latter stood up angrily, and was then picked up and thrown out of the cafeteria by the burly aunt in no time, like a chick.

The latter felt the shocking force, his face filled with terror, daring not to speak out in anger.

"If you dare to smoke in public again, I'll flush your head down the toilet!"

"···"

This scene also reminded many diners of the aunties who wreak havoc on high-speed trains, in movie theaters, on the streets, and on driverless buses...

Then he lowered his head and ate his rice.

Of course, there are also domestic tourists who don't like it.

"How can you say that, old lady? She's an international friend."

"Fuck your mother, eat your food, and if you keep babbling, I'll beat you up too."

"···"

Seeing that no one objected, the woman in the red armband picked up a small megaphone and said, "I'll say it again: smoking, causing trouble, and making loud noises are prohibited in public places. I don't care if you're from China, abroad, or from the South China Sea, you all better eat quietly and obediently. Otherwise, I won't let any of you off the hook with this slap that even Yu Sanyuan has used!"

The visitors at the scene trembled and continued eating with their heads down.

Yu Yang, who was selecting food, looked at his accompanying secretary upon hearing this and asked, "Why do you always like to use me to establish your authority?"

"Because you're awesome."

"Makes sense!"

After choosing his meal, Yu Yang found an empty seat and sat down.

The restaurant's television, directly overhead, was playing the midday news.

Domestically, the focus is basically on 'development,' 'breakthroughs,' and 'history-making.'

International news is basically about 'protests,' 'chief resignations,' and 'conflicts breaking out.'

Furthermore, the related reports do not reveal the capital game behind the events. Unless one is particularly knowledgeable about current affairs, one can only read about these events for novelty and amusement.

Those who are particularly knowledgeable about current affairs need to understand them.

Understand the domestic situation and the international situation before making relevant arrangements.

Once you understand it, comprehend it, and do it correctly, the next step will definitely be a promotion and a raise.

This is the significance of watching the news.

Yu Yang doesn't need a promotion or a raise, nor does he need to comprehend, understand, or oppose. "Right now, I just want to see news about DuPont letting capitalists ride in dirt planes."

The accompanying secretary was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "Look now?"

"Yes, it's good as a side dish, otherwise it won't taste good."

"Then I'll look for related news."

ten minutes later.

"Chairman Yu, we've found it."

soon.

A live news broadcast was shown on the cafeteria's television screen.

"Five minutes ago, the headquarters of Raytheon Group was blown up for unknown reasons, and Raytheon's chairman, CEO and secretaries were all killed."

"According to sources within the North American NSA, this matter may be related to three missile propellant orders from the Pentagon, with DuPont being another bidding company."

"Currently, the North American Federal Police (FBL) and the Massachusetts State Police system are both involved in the investigation."

Yu Yang watched the news report, took a bite of the hot beef bun, and said, "Sure enough, watching breaking news makes food taste better."

Accompanying secretary: "..."

"The only downside is that there's not enough soup."

"Then I'll look for related news."

Another ten minutes later.

"Chairman Yu, we've found it."

The cafeteria TV broadcast: "Just now, a business jet flying from Sweden to North America crashed in the North Atlantic. It is understood that three wealthy Scandinavians were on board."

"After the incident, Walmart Chairman Walton Jr. angrily declared it an unforgivable act and warned DuPont to be careful."
