Chapter 137 Goodbye Aunt Mei

"The four major grain merchants ABCD and ABCD are of course familiar to me. They are all world-class giants." Andy nodded and said: "They control the agriculture of many countries in the world and bully farmers from both sides - lowering prices when purchasing grain in grain-producing areas.

After forming a monopoly, they then raise the price and sell it to food-deficient areas; most of the seeds, fertilizers, etc. needed by farmers are in the hands of the four major grain merchants. They control global grain production and trade, including pricing power."

"Yes, the four major grain merchants are very powerful. There are many countries that have experienced their persecution. For example, Chile in 1970 exaggerated the extent of Chile's food gap and doubled the gap from 2 million tons to 4 million.

tons, allowing the United States to use the excuse of rescuing Chile to enter its grain market and resell low-priced American grain to the people at Chilean domestic prices. This caused a large number of local grain merchants in Chile to go bankrupt. They then took the opportunity to merge and monopolize the Chilean grain market.

."

Bai Ye smiled and said:

"There is also Mexico, which was originally an agricultural exporter. Later, under the so-called free trade agreement, American crops could flow into Mexico unscrupulously, but Mexico was not allowed to sell crops to the United States. As a result, Mexican local crops could not be sold, and farmers and grain farmers

After the business went bankrupt, it could only rely on imports for a long time, completely reducing it to an agricultural importing country. There are so many poisonous farmers in Mexico, and the four major grain merchants are not without a blood debt."

To put it bluntly, the four major grain dealers want underdeveloped areas to grow cash crops, let them buy them, and then sell them in developed areas. Then they buy cheap grains from developed areas and sell them to underdeveloped areas. They make a few bucks. It is simply a win.

Numb.

The reason why there are so many famines and so many people starve to death in modern society is due to the four major grain merchants.

In a place like Mexico, growing... cash crops does seem to be more profitable than growing food crops, right? But it has ruined Mexico's future.

Food is a weapon that is more powerful than nuclear bombs when used properly.

"So... what are you going to do?" Andy raised his eyebrows and said, "Agricultural technology is an industry that requires a lot of investment and very slow results. It is a hard job. Mercury Media, just throw money at it, Mars

In the military industry, you are lucky enough to meet such a fool as Tony Stark. In Venus Energy, you happen to have a technological breakthrough project. In Saturn Biology, you have Norman Osborn as your father. Do you want to

If you are into agriculture...do you also have a father as good as Norman Osborne in this industry?"

"It is indeed difficult to achieve quality. Breakthroughs in agricultural science and technology will take a long time, but we can focus on quantity first." Bai Ye smiled: "We can first set a small goal that can be achieved, for example, first become the world's largest landowner."

"Landlord?"

Andy was confused by Bai Ye. It wasn't about agriculture, so why was it about landlords again?

"Of course, don't you know? Many of the top richest people in the United States are also top big landowners. If we want to play Jupiter agriculture, it will be difficult to overtake in pure agricultural technology in a short time, so we will first buy a large amount of land.

Plant and lay a solid foundation. Grain is a real asset that can provide stable returns during a long-term holding period." Bai Ye said: "You will know after a little research. In fact, the return on investment in farmland can outperform the U.S. stock market. American farmland

Investments have returned an average of 11.2% annually. By comparison, the S&P 500 has returned 9.6% annually over the same period."

In my previous life, Bai Ye had paid attention to agricultural issues. In addition to the grievances between the four major grain merchants and China Grain Reserve, there was also the news that Bill Gates purchased land in the United States and became the largest farm owner in the United States.

In 2022, Bill Gates already owns more than 270,000 acres of farmland in the United States, equivalent to more than 1,090 square kilometers of land, almost equal to the entire area of ​​New York City.

There is also Amazon founder Bezos, who also owns a huge amount of land. The area is larger than Gates, reaching 420,000 acres, making him the 26th largest private land owner in the United States. However, the land he bought contains some

Forests and uncultivated land are inferior in quality to Gates.

Of course, although Bill Gates is the largest private owner of farmland in the United States, he is not the largest land owner in the United States. The largest land owner in the United States is billionaire John Malone, who owns 2.2 million acres of land across the United States.

!

"When Jupiter Agriculture becomes the largest landowner in the world, we can turn these farms into the largest experimental bench for agriculture, food and climate-related technologies to complete the huge agricultural technology investment landscape." Bai Ye smiled: "But now

There are too many things to do, and the establishment of Jupiter Agriculture needs to be put aside for a while. After I do something big again and earn a lot of money, we will start operating Jupiter Agriculture."

"OK!"

Andy has no objection. After all, Bai Ye is willing to spend a lot of capital to invest in agriculture, which is a good thing for the world.

With the resources that Bai Ye can mobilize, if he really makes some big changes in agricultural technology, it will probably save fewer people from starving to death due to famine in this world.

After chatting with Andy about matters related to the group, Bai Ye temporarily left AIM Company and returned to Venus Energy, where he participated in the experiment of the second-generation Ark reactor with Ivan Vanke and Anthony Vanke.

…

After a day of experiments, Bai Ye was quite satisfied with the progress of Ivan Vanke's experiments. This guy had a lot of money in his heart, and it was not long before he obtained the Ark Reactor technology.

After finishing work, Bai Ye walked out of the company building, stretched, and then drove to AIM Company, planning to have dinner with Betty again.

Even though this little girl talks about being indifferent, Bai Ye can see that she is just arrogant. When he comes to her, Betty's body will become honest even if she says she doesn't want it.

Halfway.

Bai Ye received a call from Aunt Mei.

He smiled and picked up:

"Hello?"

"Bai Ye!" Aunt Mei said angrily: "What on earth are you and that boy Parker doing? Why haven't I seen Parker come home for so long? Also! During this time I

When I call you, I keep getting through. Why? Have you blacklisted me? Damn it, after what happened last time, I didn’t even blacklist you on my phone, but you still blacklisted me.

Already?"

"Uh-huh." Bai Ye quickly explained: "Aunt Mei, you misunderstood. It wasn't me who put you on the blacklist. It was mainly because I was traveling abroad for a business trip recently. Maybe the mobile phone signal was not stable, so you didn't get through.

."

Well, in fact, Bai Ye temporarily blocked Aunt Mei because Aunt Mei knew that Parker was involved in the Kurt Connors incident and was quarantined. She has been worried and wanted to call Bai Ye every day.

, to report that Parker is safe, this makes Bai Ye a little unable to bear it. He has a lot of things to do every day, a lot of informal things and a lot of serious things. He can't revolve around Parker and Aunt Mei every day, right?

I have no choice but to blackmail Aunt Mei temporarily and wait until Parker's control serum is produced.

Now that Aunt May is released from the blacklist, it is also because Parker's control serum has been produced. Now Parker can always maintain his sanity as a human being, and can also control himself to transform freely between human form and lizard-man form, which is equivalent to

It is said that Parker is now a supernatural being with similar strength as Gwen, but Gwen is Spider-Woman, and Parker may become the Lizard Man.

Bai Ye continued: "And Aunt Mei, Parker's matter has been resolved. I can take you into the Osborne Group to see him at any time, but he personally needs to stay in the Osborne Building for two more days."

"real?"

Aunt Mei asked in surprise.

She has been worried for so long. Is the nightmare finally over?

"Of course it's true!" Bai Ye said decisively: "So are you going to see Parker now? I can pick you up right now."

Aunt Mei stopped being polite to Bai Ye and gave her address.

If it was her own matter, she would be too embarrassed to bother Bai Ye after the last embarrassing incident. But if it concerns Parker, then she should act in a hurry and not be able to interfere so much.

When Bai Ye saw Aunt Mei again, she was wearing a simple white shirt and denim blue straight jeans, and her whole person exuded a refreshing and sober atmosphere.

The white shirt has a regular shape and a folded collar. She looks both reserved and serious, but it also reveals her unique playfulness and agility. She is so beautiful and charming that no one can tell that she is close to 40 years old.

.

Straight-leg jeans perfectly outline the curves of her slender legs. The high-waisted version enhances the waistline and can elongate the proportions of the legs, making her appear taller and slimmer. It perfectly demonstrates the charm of a mature woman.

"So beautiful!" Bai Ye praised: "Aunt Mei, you are getting more and more beautiful. When you walk on the street, people you don't know think you are my sister!"

"Stop talking so much!" Aunt Mei gave him a free night and said, "You'd better drive."

"OK."

Bai Ye started the car and headed towards Osborne Tower.

"You really went on a business trip abroad during this period. Didn't you block me?"

Aunt Mei asked again in disbelief.

Well, in addition to being anxious about not being able to contact Parker, Aunt Mei was also a little angry because Bai Ye secretly kissed her last time and turned around to block her, making her think whatever she wanted... Bai Ye lifted up his pants and

The feeling of running away.

"I knew you didn't believe me!" Bai Ye smiled helplessly, placed the tickets and other things in front of Aunt Mei, and said, "I've been really busy during this period. I went to North Africa to deal with a biological laboratory.

Things are very important, I don't mean to ignore you on purpose."

Aunt Mei took a look and saw that it was true that Bai Ye had gone to North Africa during this time.

This made Aunt Mei feel a little better. It turned out that he hadn't blocked me: "What about Parker? It's been so long and there's still no conclusion?"

"Parker is okay." Bai Ye said while driving the car: "If Parker wants, he can go home immediately, but Parker himself doesn't want to go home for the time being."

"What?"

Aunt Mei’s eyebrows stood up:

"I was so worried about him at home, but he actually didn't come back when he had the chance?"

In fact, it is because although Parker has developed a control serum, the effect cannot be guaranteed. Even if he is fine for the time being, what if he returns home and transforms into a crazy lizard man again without control, and hurts Mei again?

Aunt, what should I do?

So Parker decided to observe for a few more days and wait until he was sure that the genetic mutation in his body was stable before going home to reunite with Aunt Mei.

But in order to prevent Aunt Mei from taking out her anger on herself, Bai Ye had no choice but to feel wronged by Parker.

So Bai Ye nodded without hesitation: "Yes! During this period of time, Parker's activities were restricted to the Osborne Building, but he was not locked up in a prison doing nothing. He used this time to go to the Osborne Building to

He is engaged in scientific research in a biological laboratory. So although the restrictions on his freedom of life have been lifted, he said that his experiment has reached the most critical stage and will be successful soon, so he cannot be distracted for the time being..."

"Parker!" Aunt Mei's anger was successfully ignited by Bai Ye: "This kid has reached the stage of youth rebellion, right? I am so worried about him at home. He is also detained and addicted. He doesn't want to go home?"

"Children these days are all like this. They are too playful and don't know what home means when they play. Harry is also like this, it's not easy to take care of!" Bai Ye encouraged: "Aunt Mei, regarding this situation,

My suggestion is to beat him! Beat him to death! After many beatings by me, Harry is now obviously much more well-behaved and sensible."

Aunt Mei didn't say anything, but looking at her furrowed eyebrows, she knew that Parker might not have an easy life in the future.

Osborne Building.

Bai Ye took Aunt Mei into the company building by swiping her face, took the elevator, and came to the biological laboratory where Parker was working.

When Bai Ye came downstairs to the company, he secretly sent a message to Parker, so of course he knew that Aunt Mei was here to see him.

"Aunt Mei."

At the door of the laboratory, Parker smiled and said hello.

He was wearing a white laboratory coat, which looked rather awkward given his thin figure.

"Brat!"

Aunt Mei walked up to Parker and looked at him carefully:

"Did you not eat well during this period? Why have you lost so much weight?"

"Aunt Mei, I'm fine."

Parker smiled awkwardly.

In fact, Parker is really thinner than before. I don't know if it's because he was too busy developing control serum during this period, or if it's the result of the genetic mutation itself.

"Okay, stop standing at the door. Do you want to go in and see what Parker has been doing during this time?"

Bai Ye said with a smile.

Alas, he wanted to see Aunt May beat up Parker, but it seemed impossible. After all, Aunt May was not Parker's biological parent, and the discipline was too harsh and hurt his feelings.

And Parker is not good at words either. He doesn't have the eloquent wit like Bai Ye, so Bai Ye still has to liven up the atmosphere.

"I want to see what you have come up with during this time, Parker."

Aunt Mei snorted lightly and stepped into the laboratory.

From behind, Parker whispered: "Brother Baiye, why did you bring Aunt Mei here?"

Bai Ye said: "It's not that I brought her here, but she insisted on forcing me to bring her to see you. It's not like you don't know your Aunt Mei's character, and she is also very stubborn. How can I defeat her?"

ah."

Parker said: "Then what should we do now? Aunt Mei wants to see the results of my experiment... What I have been studying during this period is the control serum of the lizard serum. Where are the experimental results?"

Bai Ye said: "Anyway, Aunt Mei can't understand scientific data. If you fool her casually, she will definitely not realize it. What are you afraid of?"

Parker: "Fooling Aunt May? Isn't that bad?"

Bai Ye: "Then are you willing to tell Aunt Mei directly that you were turned into a lizard man by Kurt Connors during this period, and they attacked the Osborne Tower together and were imprisoned?"

Parker: "Forget it...I'll think about it for a while."

"What are you two whispering behind my back? Are you saying bad things about me?"

Aunt Mei paused, turned around, and frowned at the two of them.

"No!"

Bai Ye said immediately:

"Parker just blames me for bringing you here at this time and causing him a lot of trouble."

"Um!?"

Aunt May looked at Parker with sharp eyes.

Parker: "..."

He opened his mouth wide and looked at Bai Ye in disbelief.

Brother Bai Ye, you are really stubborn!

So you sold him?

And when he thought about it, Bai Ye didn't seem to be talking nonsense, he just added fuel to the fire and exaggerated the matter.

"Aunt Mei, I was wrong."

Parker had no choice but to admit his mistake honestly.

"snort!"

Aunt Mei snorted coldly.

Next, Parker honestly introduced the laboratory conditions to Aunt Mei. As for the scientific research results... He listened to Bai Ye and just made up a creature that "restores sanity to people who are mentally disturbed and prone to going crazy."

Research direction.

In a sense, Parker is not making up lies, because he does do this kind of work, but it sounds to Aunt May that Parker is involved in the development of drugs to cure mental illness, which makes Aunt May

He nodded in understanding, feeling that the child had done quite well, at least he had done good things for the country and the people.

Visited for half a day.

Aunt Mei was also satisfied.

I asked Parker if he would go home at night, but Parker also refused. His current condition was not suitable for leaving the laboratory immediately.

In case of any abnormal situation, he can still be controlled here.

Aunt Mei didn't push too much. After all, the child had grown up and had her own ideas. She couldn't control Parker's life, so she told Parker to take good care of herself and followed Bai Ye down to the Osborne Building.

"Thank you for what happened today."

Aunt Mei thanked Bai Ye.

"It's just a matter of effort." Bai Ye smiled and waved his hand: "That boy Parker has a very strong talent. He has already shown it in the Osborne Laboratory. He has a bright future!"

"Really?" Aunt Mei was also very happy to hear Bai Ye say good things about Parker: "Parker, this kid, has been smart since he was a child."

"Yes." Bai Ye nodded: "Are you going home now? I have nothing to do, so I'll see you off?"

"Ah this..." Aunt Mei immediately glanced at Bai Ye warily, but when she thought of Bai Ye taking her to meet Parker and running back and forth, Aunt Mei felt a little embarrassed: "Isn't it too troublesome for you?"

"No trouble, just on my way."

Bai Ye smiled slightly.

He worked tirelessly for Aunt Mei, and his help was not in vain. Now is the time for Aunt Mei to give him a chance to trap Baoli, right?
