Resource Tycoon Reborn

Lorencino is now the Vice President of Argentina and has his own power in the Argentine political arena. The Fang family has also secretly given a lot of support. Moreover, if Longxing Construction Group helps Argentina complete the railway upgrading and reconstruction project,

Allowing Argentina to pay in goods instead of US dollars is also a major political achievement for Lorencino, especially now that the economic crisis has exploded, it is even more valuable. So even if Fang Mingyuan is not interested, he will definitely do it twice as much.

Heart, if this can still make the Fang family fall into a trap, then you can’t blame others!

"Well, if you are sure, that would be for the best!" Su Huandong nodded slightly. He had heard what Fang Mingyuan said about the matter between Fang Mingyuan and Lorencino. Back then, Argentina rejected the imf's loan and announced

Refusing to repay hundreds of billions of dollars in debt, the Argentine political scene at that time was in a mess. Several presidents had changed in a short period of time. However, Lorencino, who was the Minister of Public Affairs and Finance at the time, was as stable as a rock and took office.

No matter how the president changed, no one who took office could shake his status! Later he became the vice president of Argentina, an out-and-out powerful figure.

"However, if these two contracts are signed, what do you plan to ask for from Brazil and Argentina?" Su Huandong asked, "Other things are fine. If it is agricultural products... the domestic market cannot digest it." Huaxia has been unable to digest it in recent years.

Grain production has increased for several consecutive years. In addition, grain prices in the international market are lower than domestic grain prices. A large number of companies purchase from overseas. Domestic grain depots are already full. However, even so, there are still a large number of

The food still cannot be stored in warehouses and can only be stored in farmers' homes. If we obtain a large amount of agricultural products from Brazil and Argentina, it will inevitably have a strong impact on the domestic market and cause social instability. Regarding this issue, although Su Huandong asked his son Su

Aimin and the relevant departments of the Ministry of Agriculture came up with a countermeasure, but until now, the reports submitted have not satisfied Su Huandong.

"But the easiest thing for Argentina and Brazil to produce is agricultural products, and we don't like their industrial products. In the early days, we can process and produce these agricultural products for re-export as much as possible, or sell them directly to other countries.

country, but after all, it still has to be invested in our country’s market. I think in order to solve this problem, it is best to take this opportunity to start trialling the cultivated land rotation and fallow system in the country!” Fang Mingyuan said, “And in the long run, even if there is no

In this matter, the country should still implement the cultivated land rotation and fallow system."

"Farmland rotation and fallow system?" Su Huandong frowned. This was mentioned in the report of the Ministry of Agriculture, but if we want to implement this system, there are many difficulties!

"Grandpa Su, I know that there are many obstacles to implementing this system in the country and it is not an easy task. After all, in the eyes of many people, if the cultivated land rotation and fallow system is implemented, many farmers will lose their jobs and have no income.

, and to subsidize them would put a huge pressure on the finances. No matter how we do it, it may cause an ugly employment rate and social instability, so we will reject it without hesitation. But in my opinion, it is also

There are also benefits!" Fang Mingyuan said.

"Let's talk about other issues first. If we implement a large-scale farmland rotation and fallow system, how can we ensure the country's food security?" Su Huandong said solemnly, "You should have heard that sentence, who controls the food;

Whoever controls the food controls mankind!" Whoever controls the oil controls all countries; whoever controls the currency controls the world; whoever controls the food; whoever controls the food, controls the world.

Control humanity! It is said that this is what Kissinger said, and Fang Mingyuan certainly knows it.

"Grandpa Su, I think food security is not based on how much food is stored in our grain depots, but how much high-quality land and seeds we have, and how much food can be grown from these land and seeds. Even if we have

Half of the grain is imported. As long as the grain we store can ensure that our people can survive a complete harvest season, as long as we have high-quality land and seeds, and as long as there are no nationwide natural disasters, our country's food will be safe!"

Fang Mingyuan said, "The problem now is not that we don't have enough food, nor that we can't buy food on the international market, but that our land can no longer bear it after years of intensive farming! Since the reform and opening up, we have

We have been pursuing self-sufficiency in food, relying on high-intensity utilization and continuous investment in chemical fertilizers to ensure the stability and continuous growth of our country's food. However, this model cannot continue permanently! Local resources are exhausted to the point where they cannot

By the time it recovers normally, it will be too late! Even robots need maintenance and upkeep, and they will be scrapped in time, not to mention the land!"

Officials always say that our country uses 7% of the world's land to feed 22% of the world's population. This sounds great and something to be proud of, but in previous lives this sentence was not

The following are often followed by two other sentences. The government has solved the education and medical problems of 22% of the world's population with 1% to 2% of the world's investment in education and medical care; accounting for 100% of the world's population.

A population of 22 supports half of the world's civil servants.

Regardless of whether the last two sentences are correct or not, 7% of the world's land is used to feed 22% of the world's people. Behind this great fact is the high-intensity use of our country's arable land resources.

This has led to a series of problems such as soil acidification, thinning of the soil layer, lack of fertility, declining groundwater, and pollution of cultivated land resources! How to reduce the intensity of cultivated land use, restore and restore farmland without affecting national food security and farmers' income?

Improving the quality of farmland, restoring groundwater, and cleaning up pollution have become unavoidable issues for the government.

"Furthermore, as far as I know, in many areas in the north, the water needed for food production has been exhausted from rivers and groundwater has begun to be pumped out. The cost of the food grown in this way, not counting hidden expenses, is still higher than that in the world.

The market price, and the serious consequences of pumping large amounts of groundwater, although we can’t see it now, will we still not be able to see it thirty or fifty years from now?” Fang Mingyuan said, “This is depriving future generations of food.

!”

Su Huandong took a deep breath. Although he had heard or seen similar words, no one would say it in front of him as bluntly as Fang Mingyuan.

"The land needs to recuperate and the groundwater needs to be replenished. We cannot wait until we have to do it. By then, it will be too late!" Fang Mingyuan looked directly into Su Huandong's eyes and said, "It is better to do it sooner than later.

Well, it can be regarded as leaving a way for future generations to survive! And by that time, let alone food security, we will really be controlled by others!"

"And I think this system must be piloted first, and it cannot be fully promoted. During the pilot, it will be found that as long as it is well designed and implemented, the farmers' reaction will not be that strong, because now one acre of land produces more

Food, if all costs are removed, you really can't make much money. I forgot where I read the information. It takes more than seven months from sowing to harvesting one acre of wheat, and three months for corn. And these ten

But you can only earn about a thousand yuan a month, not including the labor costs paid by the villagers! A year's worth of farming is not as good as a month's work!" Su Huandong nodded helplessly. He knew what Fang Mingyuan said.

But he is also just a person, not a god. It is too difficult to change the current situation.

"Mingyuan, have you ever thought about it. When we purchase soybeans in the international market, the price of soybeans keeps rising. When we purchase iron ore, the price of iron ore also rises continuously. If we purchase grain again, the price of soybeans will rise again and again every year.

How much precious foreign exchange should be invested in this?" Su Huandong asked.

"This is different!" Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Iron ore is the result of our excessive demand, and more importantly, we cannot obtain the pricing power of iron ore! The price of soybeans has also increased a lot. One reason is that the soybeans grown by my country cannot meet the strong domestic demand, and the domestic planting area has shrunk year by year. Naturally, it has no pricing power, but not for grain. Maybe they can take advantage in a certain year. But in the long run, they won't do such stupid things."

Su Huandong pondered for a moment and nodded slowly. He understood what Fang Mingyuan meant. First of all, the domestic demand for food is relatively stable. Unless there is a large-scale natural disaster that causes a large number of fields to be harvested, otherwise

, the food supply gap caused by the cultivated land rotation and fallow system can be estimated. Secondly, when the price of food in the international market is too high, a large amount of domestic grain stocks can be released to calm the food price, and those who rotate crops and fallow

The land can also be quickly replanted with food. Therefore, it is not easy for the price of imported food to exceed the price of domestically produced food. As long as the price of imported food is lower than the price of domestically produced food, this transaction is not considered a loss.

"Furthermore, doing this can also reduce our inventory pressure. Grain production is increasing every year, and the amount of imported grain is also growing. The country builds a large number of grain depots every year, and also organizes manpower and material resources to purchase grain, and spends a lot of money.

The storage costs, there are many officials reaching out to fish for oil and water, if these are taken into account, I think if farmers are given subsidies to give the land a chance to recuperate, the state expenditure may be less." Fang

Mingyuan said, he remembered that later on, every time there was a bumper grain harvest, it was difficult to sell grain. When it was difficult to harvest grain, the country searched for grain depots all over the world and built grain depots. Farmers had to queue up in long lines to sell grain.

It may not be able to be harvested. Many grain depots built in a hurry cannot properly store the grain. Every year, a large amount of grain spoils due to improper storage!

Fang Mingyuan continued: "Moreover, if we become an important food importing country in the world, first of all, we can further balance the import and export trade surplus, so that Western countries will not always use our surplus as an excuse. Having more foreign exchange reserves is indeed a good thing for the country.

This is a good thing, but if there is too much, it can be a trouble. Second, it is necessary to control the pricing power of food in the international market. Among the voters that American politicians want to win over, there is a very important group called farmers and ranchers! Although they all

The number of representatives is not large, but no politician will ever ignore their existence..."

Fang Mingyuan stayed at the accommodation provided by the Ukrainian government for Su Huandong that night. If Su Huandong had not had a state event the next day, the two could have chatted until dawn! The next morning, Su Huandong naturally left on time and made the reservation for the day

During the state activities, Fang Mingyuan stayed in bed until nearly noon. If Angelina hadn't called, he could have continued to sleep. Moreover, he was indeed tired these days.

"I said, what time did you guys talk last night? It's already noon, why do you still not seem to wake up?" Angelina looked at Fang Mingyuan, who was still yawning, and couldn't help but ask.

"You have to go to 4 o'clock at 3 o'clock this morning, right? It might be 4:30 after washing." Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but yawned again. This was because he repeatedly proposed to rest and reminded him that there would be state activities the next day. Su Huandong

Only then did he let him go.

"It's not very late, right? Don't you usually fall asleep at this time?" Angelina chuckled.

"Can it be the same? For example, if you read books, watch movies and read information by yourself until twelve o'clock in the evening, and hang out with me until twelve o'clock in the evening, can it be the same?" Fang Mingyuan rolled his eyes and said, although the conversation with Su Huandong, although

The relationship between the two is very close, just like family members, and they have full trust in each other. However, Fang Mingyuan must be responsible for what he says and cannot mislead Su Huandong. He must also keep in mind those words that he is not completely sure about.

Three circles, make sure there will be no ambiguity before speaking out. Such a conversation requires a high degree of concentration, and each sentence must be thought over and over in the mind before speaking. After a long time, it is easy to feel tired. So he

I can't help but admire those big shots who live this kind of life all day long.

"Rogue!" Angelina's cheeks turned red and she slapped him twice angrily. She was so tired that she almost turned into a puddle of mud. It was not because of him.

"This morning, Belevsky called and said that he would arrive at Kiev International Airport in the afternoon. How can you see him when you look so listless?" Angelina said.

"Huh? Why did he advance the date? Wasn't the original appointment the day after tomorrow? Old Belevsky is..." Fang Mingyuan was startled for a moment and said thoughtfully. (To be continued.) 8
