Homo sapiens

After the gold dollar counterfeiting incident.

It's already early February.

At this time, a quarter has passed since ABCD launched the food war.

Due to Luzon's tropical monsoon climate, the year can be roughly divided into three seasons, namely the rainy season from April to December, the cool season from December to February, and the dry season from February to April.

Normally, although three crops of rice can be grown in a year, in actual agricultural production, only one or two crops of rice are grown.

Late rice is harvested from January to February.

This year, there are many farmers planting second-season late rice in Luzon, with the planting area reaching 3.82 million hectares, of which hybrid rice occupies 1.54 million acres.

The total planting area of ​​single-season rice in Luzon is about 6 million hectares, and the yield per hectare is about 3 to 4 tons.

This time, the 3.82 million hectares of late rice fields are estimated to be able to harvest 13 million tons of rice.

During this year's harvest period, the grain group led by ABCD quickly launched large quantities of rice into the global market.

As a result, rice prices plummeted rapidly.

The purchase price of rice in Manila has dropped by 42% year-on-year, and this downward trend cannot be stopped.

Farmers who had resisted pressure to buy high-end fertilizers and pesticides because of high rice prices were now in a situation where they lost all their money.

In the northern part of Manila, there are a large number of small farmers and farmers who lost all their money in this food war.

Almost everyone was wailing. No rice farmer was spared, especially those who had borrowed loans. They fell into despair.

Right now.

A convoy to purchase grain entered the village.

The big horn in the car sounded here.

"It's time to harvest the rice. One ton costs 15,000..."

Hearing the price of 15,000 pesos, farmers who have rice at home have become desperate. You must know that a ton of rice reached about 25,000 pesos (equivalent to 3,300 Chinese yuan) a year ago.

But so what if they don’t sell, the price might be even lower in a few days, which would be extremely painful especially for farmers who have loans at home.

As an employee of a grain company owned by Fenghuo Home, Juan naturally knows that the price of 15,000 pesos is already the highest in the region.

Soon a farmer who couldn't hold on anymore came over.

"Boss, how about seventeen thousand?"

Juan did not look at the other party's pitiful expression, but replied in a very formulaic manner: "Fifteen thousand is already the highest in Manila. If you don't believe me, you can ask outside."

The old farmer was a little hesitant, but when he thought that his eldest son had borrowed money from the bank, if he didn't pay back, the land in the family would be taken away by the bank.

Seeing the old farmer's hesitant expression, he knew that the other party might have debts, which was exactly what Huan wanted. He said with a smile:

"Man, if you want to sell it at a high price, it's not impossible."

"What? What can the boss do?" The old farmer seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw.

Juan drew out a contract: "This is the application form for joining the agricultural cooperative. As long as we join the agricultural cooperative, we will become one family..."

"Agricultural cooperative?" Old farmers have obviously heard of it. After all, the Fernando family and the Lopez family are engaged in land annexation in the south, and this matter has spread throughout Luzon.

Some forces that are hostile to the Fernando family even add malicious fuel to their own territory and demonize the behavior of the Fernando family and the Lopez family.

Therefore, the first impression of old farmers on agricultural cooperatives is not good.

Juan smiled and said: "Brother, do you know why your rice can't be sold for money? This is all Marcus, Ayala, and Aquino. If they hadn't cooperated with international grain merchants, Luzon's rice would have Why did it rise first and then fall? Don’t forget what happened in 2008.”

"These bastards..." Several other younger farmers cursed.

Why don't you just launch a public attack? Who knows how to do that?

Homo sapiens is even more comprehensive, not only starting from TV broadcasts and the Internet, but also directly connecting with local rural areas through agricultural cooperatives, logistics channels, and purchasing fleets in the countryside.

In addition, ABCD and those big families have criminal records, and with a little guidance, the memories of the Luzon people were awakened.

After Juan exposed the conspiracy between ABCD and the big family, he raised the issue of rural cooperatives again.

"What are you working so hard for? Isn't it just for food, clothing, housing, transportation, and your children? Join an agricultural cooperative and you will get various subsidies and land rent. You can also go to work in the city or work on the farm."

"If you have a loan, you can transfer it to the name of the agricultural cooperative, and you can be given a period of grace at that time, or you can directly sell the land to the cooperative and use the money to live in the city."

The old farmer quickly asked: "Can the loan really be transferred?"

"Yes, but the cooperative will charge a little interest, no more than 10% per year."

After some deception by Juan, more than a dozen farmers with loans agreed to join the cooperative. Some other farmers seemed to have visited model farms in the south and also chose to join the cooperative.

In fact, Juan is not just deceiving people. After all, the cooperative under the leadership of Haitian Agriculture really has many benefits.

The acquisition convoy like Juan quickly advanced towards the rural areas of northern Luzon.

The Marcus family had no time to take care of themselves at this time, because their behavior angered Lao Du. Although Lao Du had selfish motives, he did not want Luzon to be harvested by ABCD.

the other side.

Within the Aquino family.

Keynes Aquino directly controlled a dozen core members with the cooperation of his soldiers, and then quickly carried out a purge within the family.

The Ayala family, which had always kept a low profile before, died of a heart attack in North America, and its two sons were imprisoned for various reasons within three days.

The new head of the Ayala family, James Ayala, quickly appeared on live TV with Keynes Aquino and Xu Yingming, apologized to everyone, and announced the previous affairs of his family and the Marcus family to join forces with ABCD.

This wave of self-destruction directly put the Marcus family into a very passive situation.

This also gave ABCD a toothache from watching it.

But ABCD was too late to save the Marcus family. Lao Du and other families acted very quickly and accurately, and directly sent the core members of the Marcus family to prison.

Then there is the carving up of the Marcus family's territory and interests.

This time the Marcus family suffered a tragic defeat, which was different from the previous ones. This time there was basically no chance of a comeback.

Because the core territory of their family has been divided up, the core members have been captured, and the evidence of collusion with ABCD is conclusive, no one in Luzon dares to speak for the Marcus family now.

With the destruction of the Marcus family and the rebellion of the other three families, ABCD was completely wiped out in Luzon.

But this does not mean that ABCD will give up. They continue to push international rice prices down, while increasing the prices of fertilizers and pesticides sold to Luzon, as well as the purchase prices of cash crops.

The purpose is to force farmers in Luzon to reduce the planting area of ​​rice and corn next season and expand the planting area of ​​cash crops. As long as this continues for one or two years, Luzon's grain reserves will definitely not be able to withstand it.

Homo Sapien Company has no fear at all, because with the integration of various internal families, Luzon is now basically stable.

And with Hongsawady as a backup granary, ABCD will only find itself doing useless work in the end.

Of course, farmers are still suffering first.

Homo sapiens company united various family forces and started large-scale harvesting. Before ABCD harvested, they cut the leeks cleanly.
