Chapter 299 Opportunity
Locust plague.
Global food crisis?
Xu Ming has indeed seen these words on the news many times.
The desert locust plague that swept through many countries two years ago swallowed up the food of more than 300 million people, which may exceed 1 billion this time?
"That's really amazing."
Xu Ming murmured, "Food will definitely become precious."
As Lao Yang said, this is also a rare opportunity for Xia Guo and Pro Agricultural Company.
The advantages of ryegrass are also fully reflected.
It is even hard to see a locust adapted to a high-temperature environment but not a low-temperature and high-altitude areas.
Even in the hot summer, some locusts may reach high altitude areas, ryegrass grows in greenhouses. Not to mention locusts, ordinary agricultural pests cannot enter, and they also save the expenses of insecticides.
In addition, the yield of one acre of ryegrass is more than ten acres of ordinary crops. If 10 million acres of mu can be planted this year, it will be equivalent to more than 100 million acres of arable land, which is enough to feed hundreds of millions of people.
First, it ensures domestic food security.
In terms of economic benefits, taking advantage of the rise in grain prices, you will definitely make a lot of money this year.
In addition, there are a large number of meat, dairy products, eggs and other products... Most poultry can eat ryegrass stems, which are good palatability and have high energy conversion rate.
It can also be foreseen that after the large-scale planting and promotion of ryegrass, the Xia Kingdom will soon transform from a net importer of grain to a net exporter of grain, hold a powerful grain tool, exert influence on food-deficient countries, gain reputation through food aid, etc., and play a better role than exporting military equipment.
As a keyboard warrior who used to like to express his opinions on current affairs news, Xu Ming, an ordinary person, could guess that sufficient food would bring high flexibility to Xia Guo.
"Friendly countries make 20% profit; ordinary countries sell at the international futures market prices; unfriendly countries not only need to sell less, but also set a very high price, at least 300% profit. If you are really hungry, go eat bugs."
"If you follow this standard, you will gain a lot of dog-licking countries."
Xu Ming crossed his legs and made some keyboard remarks.
"We cannot make the decision in this regard. We are only responsible for production, acquisition, storage, and sales. We will have a special docking agency to complete it. The sales strategy is not formulated by us. At most, we will give some suggestions."
Li Guoyang shook his head and said.
"I'm bored, you haven't seen the end-of-day type. After the locust plague, in those countries where hungry and people are almost eating, ten kilograms of grain may be exchanged for 10 grams of gold and a bag of rice. Maybe a virgin girl will come over, load a ship of food, bring back a ship of wife, and introduce it to the domestic bachelors. It's okay for a girl to earn 100,000, and the bachelor problem will be solved."
Xu Ming shook his head: "It's a pity that reputation is more important than real interests. It's unlikely that our country will do such a thing. After all, a gentleman won't take advantage of others' danger. In other words, if you have a Western country, you can change your underwear. The opportunity to rob you of wealth is here again."
“Your idea is very good.”
Li Guoyang had to say helplessly: "The strategic confidentiality period of ryegrass is ten years, and at least five years must be maintained. Unless the ryegrass seeds leak and spread, they are planted all over the world, my Li family will have higher freedom and can be responsible for warehousing, logistics and sales. It is not impossible to divide it into two companies in proportion. The agriculture industry is not high-tech after all, so there is no need to hold on to it."
By that time, it would be considered a completely independent company.
Xu Ming shrugged his shoulders, looking unanimous. This is also the reason why he doesn't want to start a big company and make a fortune. Not to mention the trouble, he will also be restricted everywhere. The mineral water plant has 200 tons of water per day, which is his limit.
"By the way, there is something to tell you."
Thinking of something, Li Guoyang said to Xu Ming.
"What's up?"
"Xu Ming, I, my dad, my mom, and Xiaojing, want to invite you to visit my house for a few days, and this year I will go to my house for the New Year."
"Go to your house for the New Year?"
"Well, the Li family can have the present, all depends on the seeds you gave me. It was a great opportunity you gave to the Li family. You are also my good brother, and from now on, you will be my family... So I'll go to my house for the New Year this year." Li Guoyang said.
"I'm afraid I can't take time."
Xu Ming looked at Li Yiqing and said, "I promised Yiqing that I would accompany her to celebrate the New Year and visit relatives this year. I am not the same person as in the past. I also want to have my own little happiness."
"One day, can that be done every day?"
Li Guoyang stretched out a finger and said, "Whether it is before or after the New Year, you can just take a day to go to my house. We have a lot to say to you. In addition, Xiaojing and I will hold an engagement banquet, and I want to invite you to attend."
"Entered? You're finally going to get married, congratulations."
Li Guoyang smiled bitterly: "If you don't hold on, how can you do it? You are almost overtaking me. If you continue to delay, your child will be older than mine."
"Then you really have to hurry up. I can't control it. The child there was born first. You should cooperate with Xiao Jingduoduo quickly."
Xu Ming smiled.
"You kid... are putting pressure on me again, but don't think you can surpass me in your child!"
Li Guoyang said with a serious look on his face, "It's okay for anyone to fall behind in this matter, but I can't fall behind in Xu Ming. He will discuss it with Xiaojing tonight."
He asked again and said, "By the way, can you take some time to go to my house? One day is enough. Don't say that you don't have this time."
"No problem, I'll go."
Xu Ming nodded and said, after all, it was during the Chinese New Year, and this kind of movement was inevitable. He planned to take a day to go to Lao Yang's house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the first lunar month.
"Okay! I have nothing else to do. I'll go back first and stay in touch at any time."
After drinking the leftover coffee bean drink in the cup, Li Guoyang stood up and said goodbye, and walked outside.
Xu Ming sent him to the door, waved his hand, and watched him drive the pickup truck gradually fade away.
"Your friend Lao Yang should be a normal person, right?"
Li Yiqing, who was standing next to him, suddenly asked.
"100% of normal people are much more normal than you."
Xu Ming glanced at her and said.
"Then what are you talking about just now? What are locust plagues, food, etc., and bachelor issues have been raised, and I don't understand at all."
Li Yiqing couldn't help but feel curiosity. What were the two men talking about just now?
"When talking about the relationship between international current affairs and food, and how to exert our influence."
"Is this kind of thing related to you?" Li Yiqing rolled her eyes and said.
"Of course it's related."
Xu Ming held his hand and said lightly: "To put it simply, the bag of cherry beans on your office table weighs 30 kilograms, which is grown in Lao Yang's greenhouse. In addition, the ingredients he brought are all produced around ryegrass. The value of ryegrass is currently at least ten times that of cherry beans... Can you affect this world?"
"Well……"
Li Yiqing was still a little confused, "Can you say more details? I still don't understand."
"You can realize it slowly by yourself, or just wait for the result."
Xu Ming shook his head with some disappointment: "Yiqing, I thought you were a smart woman with ice and snow. I didn't expect that your understanding was so average, very sweet water, cherry beans and the spider web cotton I used for your studio. Their real value is that you have never thought and evaluated in depth. You live a foolish life every day. To be honest, you are not as simple as Meng Xin, and you are a little cute."
"What did you say?!"
Li Yiqing was immediately furious.
