Chapter 1351: The Threat of Four Major Grain Merchants

Shen Long knows that Song Yunhui is more or less idealistic, so it is not appropriate for you to talk about interests with him like Xun Jianxiang. For this kind of person, you have to talk about ideals with him and weave a beautiful dream for him. I agree with your idea, so the treatment and position are not a problem at all.

If he really paid attention to practical interests, he would not give up his position as the deputy chief engineer of the Jinzhou factory, and go to Donghai to become a deputy director-level deputy director.

Sure enough, this topic aroused Song Yunhui's interest. He began to seriously consider the question raised by Shen Long, and asked seriously, "What is the result of your discussion? Is it GM, BASF or that company?"

Shen Long shook his head with a smile, "In the beginning, some people mentioned these companies, but they were all rejected. Some people suggested that from the perspective of the entire history, the company with the greatest influence on mankind should be the East India Company. "

Song Yunhui thought for a while, nodded and said, "From a certain point of view, it can indeed be said; the East India Company has effectively promoted the completion of the primitive accumulation of capitalism and prepared a solid material foundation for the industrial revolution. It can be said that Britain's ability to become a world hegemon in the future has a huge relationship with the contribution of the East India Company. From the perspective of the entire history, one company has achieved a world hegemony, and the East India Company is indeed the company with the greatest influence on the world."

Song Yunping also nodded slightly when she heard it. She likes to read and has a certain understanding of the influence of the East India Company. Xun Jianxiang was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand what they were talking about.

"In the modern history of China, the East India Company also wrote a heavy page. They smuggled opium from Bangladesh to China through traders and intermediaries, with an average of 900 tons per year; the continuous flow of opium into China made the Sino-British trade A huge deficit was formed. Although China exported tea and silk, it still failed to stop the problem of a large outflow of silver; thus triggering the sale of cigarettes in Humen, and the first Opium War in the future. It can be said that China's modern history of humiliation begins with Indian company started."

"However, with the development of history, the East India Company has not adapted to the needs of capitalism, and eventually disappeared in the long river of history." Shen Long said, "So we began to discuss the company that has the greatest influence on the world in modern society. .”

"Some people talked about General Motors, BASF, and Boeing and Lockheed Martin just like you; they either believed that chemistry was the foundation of modern industry, or that arms companies had an impact on the world. The biggest ... at first everyone was talking about these companies until someone came up with a new point of view."

"The businessman said that as long as people have to eat, the agricultural companies that have the greatest impact on the world should be those agricultural companies. He believes that the four major grain merchants in ABCD are the companies that have the greatest and deepest impact on the world." This is Shen Long The topic I talked about when chatting with some businessmen in my courtyard, but they first cited IT giants such as Google and Apple, but the trend after the topic is the same, it is still the same sentence, people have to eat before they take care of themselves. Get other.

"The four major ABCD grain merchants? What kind of companies are these?" After talking here, Song Yunhui entered the field of knowledge gaps, and Song Yunping and Xun Jianxiang did the same. They all looked at Shen Long curiously. These companies are so powerful ?

"This means that today there are four multinational companies that control the global grain distribution; the four Fortune 500 companies, namely ADM, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus, according to the initials of their company names in the industry, They call them the ABCD four major grain merchants." Shen Long explained.

"These four major grain groups, which account for a major share of the world's grain trade, are keeping a low profile.

There are not a lot of news about them, but no one can underestimate their role in the world's food environment. Former US Secretary of State Kissinger once warned the world: If you control food, you control human beings; if you say that the four major grain merchants control Human beings are somewhat of a joke, but the control of food is an indisputable fact. "

"So powerful?" Kissinger gained great fame in China because he promoted Nixon's visit to China. Everyone was a little surprised to hear that Kissinger praised these companies so much.

"These four companies control more than 80% of the world's grain transactions. Do you think it's scary? They occupy most of the international grain market with absolute advantage, control the grain trade of many countries, and maintain thousands of relationships with the governments of many countries. Inextricably linked, they invade the grain market and control the grain market through futures. The most dangerous thing is that the four major grain merchants operate in a one-stop group, from the production links of seeds and fertilizers to the establishment of their own transportation channels and other circulation links. , took control of the entire chain..." Shen Long popularized the knowledge for them.

"Moreover, with the acceleration of China's opening up to the outside world, these four companies will enter China sooner or later. Although China's food control is very strict, these four companies can still use seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. to deepen their intervention in China. If we don’t have relevant companies that can compete with these four companies, China’s food security will be threatened by them in the future.”

In the future, these four companies really entered China. The famous Arowana, everyone thought it was a domestic brand, but in fact, there was ADM among the big guys behind Arowana; Louis Dreyfus became the largest cotton supplier in China , Cargill is the largest buyer of corn in China...

In the future soybean crisis, these four companies once controlled 85% of China's soybean processing capacity. Foreign-funded oil extraction companies only purchased genetically modified soybeans and did not accept domestic soybeans. The purchase price was relatively high, forcing farmers to only plant soybeans. The seeds of genetically modified soybeans have to be imported from abroad; after the genetically modified soybeans occupy the Chinese market, the pricing power is in their hands.

Plus Monsanto, the giant of genetically modified seeds! These companies pose a much greater threat to China than any oil group or iron ore group.

Food security is the foundation of national security. Mao Yushi's publicity in the future that China can buy grain from abroad is definitely ulterior motives. Grain is controlled by foreign countries much more seriously than oil is controlled by foreign countries.

So in the future, China will propose a strategy of turning potatoes into a staple food. Many people still don’t understand how unpalatable potatoes are as a staple food? They don't know that this is a strategy for China's food security. Taking advantage of the high yield of potatoes can defuse the attacks of international food giants. If they are forced to use potatoes to replace other staple foods, no matter how unpalatable they are, they are better than nothing.
