Rebirth of the Evil Life
Chapter 4140 The food crisis is coming
Heavy rains hit the world's major producing countries. Global food shortage. It is expected that there may be a food shortage this year! ——The Wall Street Journal published a very explosive news on the front page.
Following the Wall Street Journal report, global grain futures prices surged. Rice, wheat, and soybeans all experienced increases of more than 20%. In an instant, various food importing countries felt pressure.
According to the United Nations, there are 40 food-scarce countries in the world. Among them, there are 26 African countries such as Angola, Burundi, Ethiopia, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Niger, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, and 10 Asian countries such as Afghanistan, Indonesia, Iraq, and North Korea. Lebanon, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and East Timor, 3 Latin American countries Colombia, Cuba, Haiti and the Russian Republic of Chechnya.
Of course, this refers to food-scarce countries. That is to say, the country relies heavily on food imports. In addition, there are other developed countries such as Canada and Australia, which are also major food importers because of their national composition.
The rise in food prices has undoubtedly put a heavy pressure on these economically underdeveloped food-scarce countries. In recent years, the global food harvest has been in a state of bumper harvest, and food prices have been at a low level. The cheapness of food has relieved the economic pressure of these underdeveloped countries, especially African countries. But the price of food suddenly jumped by 20%, which made it difficult for these countries that were not already economically wealthy.
Fortunately, this is just a report from the Wall Street Journal. Although heavy rains around the world will definitely have an impact on food production, it will not cause a serious reduction in production. As long as there is no serious reduction in production and a slight increase, they can still bear it. The worst thing is that people in China eat less. For these underdeveloped countries, especially African countries. Not having enough to eat is perfectly normal. Therefore, don’t increase it too much, it is still acceptable.
I just hope that the weather will not continue to be bad and that the world's major grain exporting countries will not have large-scale reductions in grain production. Many food-scarce countries are praying silently.
"Lin, the food crisis is coming!" Abby Cohen said after seeing the report in the Wall Street Journal. Call.
At this moment, Lin Feng had just returned to Shanghai.
"Oh, how can you see it?" Lin Feng snickered secretly, and Abby Cohen finally noticed it. But even if Lin Feng understands now, he can only pretend to be confused.
"Lin, did you read the report in the Wall Street Journal yesterday?" Abby Cohen said. "This report said that due to the impact of disaster weather, global food production will be reduced this year. And affected by this report, the production of food will be reduced." Futures prices soared by 20%."
"Well, yes, I read this report.
But using this to say that a food crisis is coming would be a bit of an exaggeration! After all, food production reduction and food crisis are not equated! "Lin Feng looked in disbelief. But he felt relieved in his stomach. With Abby Cohen's advice, making money would be fair and honest.
"Lin, after reading this report, I got the latest global weather forecast analysis report through a friend. As well as past weather reports on record, I found that there will be extreme severe weather this year, which will It may lead to a serious reduction in food production! For example, in your hometown of Chu City, I predict that the production will be reduced by more than 40% this year!" Abby Cohen paused, "But this is not the real cause of the food crisis!"
"What's the reason?" Lin Feng asked cooperatively.
"Biofuels!" Abby Cohen said solemnly. "Nowadays, with the depletion of oil resources, biofuels have become more and more popular in countries around the world, which has led to a shortage of food. In addition, once food production decreases, a food crisis will occur. Of course, this is only the most important factor , another important factor is human promotion!”
Human push? Lin Feng was surprised.
"Yes, it is driven by man. According to some information I have received, some big forces are deliberately creating a food shortage panic. I don't know who this force is, and I don't know what methods they use. , I only know that there are big forces behind it, and this is an opportunity and a crisis for you!" Abby Cohen's tone became serious.
Crisis and opportunity? Lin Feng naturally understands this. The opportunity is that I may make a lot of money this time, but the crisis is that I make too much money and attract covetous attention from all parties.
"No, Lin, I'm not talking about this. As for you taking advantage of the opportunity to make too much money, it can only mean that you are far-sighted, or that you are lucky, and it doesn't matter if the outside world is jealous. The crisis I am talking about is that you may become this time The scapegoat for the food crisis!" Abby Cohen said anxiously.
scapegoat? Lin Feng's brows moved, and he understood vaguely in his heart.
"Yes, scapegoat! You hold more than 400 billion U.S. dollars in food reserves, and now they have fluctuated by 20%. In other words, the Wall Street Journal report made you make 80 billion U.S. dollars out of thin air! 80 billion U.S. dollars, this money is so profitable. The whole world knows that you are the largest grain trader in the world, so why does the Wall Street Journal publish such a post to make you make money? You don't have a good relationship with them, so why are they doing this?"
Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, although the world is experiencing disastrous weather and food production is reduced, it has not yet reached the moment when a food crisis has truly erupted. The Wall Street Journal was the first to expose it. Didn’t this give itself an advantage in vain? Is there any pie in the sky? Is Wall Street that good?
Obviously not!
"Lin, once this global food crisis breaks out, the outside world will definitely blame the spread of biofuels in various countries. As the world's largest grain trader, you control so much grain, you will definitely be regarded as a scapegoat by them. At that time, I’m afraid you will have to spend money to eliminate the disaster!” Abby Cohen said, “So, I suggest that you donate some food to some countries in Africa that are extremely food-deficient! No, you only made 80 billion, so donate it! 800 million US dollars of food! Stop the outside world in advance!”
Lin Feng nodded after hearing this. Lin Feng remembers that during the food crisis, even the current US President Bush came out to explain the crime of non-biofuels in the food crisis. At that time, several countries around the world were explaining this matter and justifying biofuels. And isn’t he the most suitable scapegoat?
"I understand! But if a food crisis really breaks out, I will make a lot of money. Do you have any suggestions on this matter?" Lin Fengxiao asked.
"Well, I don't have any suggestions for this. After all, this is an opportunity. I just have a reminder that every time you make money, you should do some charity and donate some food to countries in need to offset the external pressure on you. Objection! Although this will make you a little less, I am afraid you will make a lot this time, so the donated food is just a drop in the bucket! Of course, when donating food, I hope you will not pay it directly. Give it to the government, but give it to the refugees. Giving it to the government will help you deal with the governments of various countries, but it will be the most detrimental to the refugees. So, I hope that the governments of these African countries will not care about the lives of the people. , you can give it directly to the people!" Abby Cohen said compassionately.
The international community's assistance to Africa has been continuous for many years. Every year, a large amount of food, medicine and basic living supplies are sent to extremely poor countries in Africa. Usually, only food and items that are delivered directly to the victims can truly help them. Other food and items are basically gone as long as they go through the government of this country. In the end, this batch of disaster relief materials will become a way for these countries to get rich. Of course, sometimes, even the food and materials that have been distributed to the victims will sometimes be rushed over by some local government officials or the Japanese army and snatched away.
Therefore, African disaster victims often cause headaches to the International Red Cross. Do you want to save it or not? Save them. These supplies may become a means for some warlords to get rich. If you don't save them, you will have a bad conscience.
Abby Cohen has been paying attention to the problem of African refugees, and has always been troubled by this issue. She wished she could help the refugees, but there was nothing she could do. But now, she found that Lin Feng was a good candidate to solve this problem. Because Lin Feng has ‘wolf fangs’ in Africa. ‘Wolf fangs’ can protect the food in the hands of these disaster victims from being taken away again.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is whether Lin Feng is willing to do it or not. If Lin Feng did this, he would offend the local warlords and the government. This is not beneficial to Lin Feng. After all, helping these victims would do no good to Lin Feng at all. On the contrary, offending these governments and warlords would be a headache for Lin Feng's industry in Africa. These warlords and governments openly dare not offend you, but secretly try to trick you, leaving you with nowhere to cry!
Therefore, Abby Cohen is not sure what Lin Feng will choose.
"Yes, I understand. I will let 'Langya' be responsible for the food supply of the victims and ensure that the food is absolutely distributed to every victim!" Lin Feng nodded in agreement without thinking at all.
What a joke, now the ‘Langya’ has greatly expanded its strength relying on the founding of Somalia. Many black mercenaries from Somalia have been recruited, and the army has expanded to 30,000. The combat effectiveness of these people may not compete with the regular armies of developed countries, but they are already very powerful in Africa. It's easy to deal with those local African warlords! To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
