Chapter 245 A dead place
"Captain Yu, are you here so soon?"
After not seeing each other for a while, I feel that Wei Cheng has changed a lot.
He was staying in Africa for a while and when he went back, he was so dark that he didn't even recognize his mother. He was so white and fat that he was definitely not a local.
"What are you eating so white?"
"Isn't this to advertise our masks? I apply them twice a day," said Wei Cheng. "Don't say that the advertising effect is really good. Anyone who has come into contact with me now uses our Baiyun Village masks, and they all turn white."
Yu Zhen looked around and found that several of his local assistants were all white and tender.
He felt that if Wei Cheng was placed in Africa for a few years, it would be very likely that Africa would not have a black brother, but would have become a white brother.
"If you don't talk about this, find a quiet place first and I'll cure your legs before talking about it."
"Okay, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Following Wei Cheng into a separate room, Yu Zhen released the Yuan Qi and began to carefully sense his physical condition.
His legs have been like this since he was ignorant. Now he has shrunk very much. It looks a bit scary to pull up his trousers, which is extremely inconsistent with his body.
It is said that it is nerve atrophy. Anyway, I have seen it all over the world before, but it has no effect.
Nerve atrophy needs to repair the nerves. Yu Zhen doesn’t understand exactly how to operate it, but first inject a lot of Yuan Qi into his body, and then run along the meridians.
When encountering obstacles, increase the impact of force.
This is a bit like the practice Chongmai in martial arts novels, but the difference is that Yuanqi is constantly repairing when it constantly impacts the blocked meridians.
This mysterious power, which comes from the beginning of chaos, has extremely significant effects on repairing the body.
In less than half a day, Yu Zhen repaired his meridians, blood vessels and nerves almost completely.
The next step is to promote the development of his legs and let him grow to a normal person. However, the division and growth of cells require a process, so this matter will continue for many days one after another.
"Let's just do it for the time being," Yu Zhen took back his Yuan Qi and said, "How do you feel now?"
"I feel it! I really feel it!" Wei Cheng tried to poke his calves with his fingers, very surprised. "Even if he was beaten hard before, he basically had no sense of it.
“Now you can feel it clearly with a touch!
"Thank you, village chief, thank you so much!
"Can I try it now?"
"Yes, but just try it, don't force it."
Wei Cheng held the wheelchair with both hands, tried to step on the ground with one foot, and then began to slowly move the center of gravity.
As he slowly stood up, his thin legs began to tremble violently, as if he couldn't stand the force.
However, as he slowly adapted, his legs could more and more bear the weight of his body, and his control over the balance of the center of gravity became better and better. Finally, he let go of his hands and stood on the ground tremblingly.
"I can really stand up! Village Chief Yu, look, I can stand up!"
"Try to take two more steps."
"good."
Wei Cheng suppressed the extreme excitement in his heart. After several efforts, he finally took a small step forward.
But maybe it's not very adaptable yet. After taking the first step, the body begins to fall.
Yu Zhen released the Yuan Qi and stabilized his body.
"Haha, I've taken one step, I've finally taken one step!"
Wei Cheng leaned back on his wheelchair and shouted loudly to the ceiling, expressing his excitement.
“I never dreamed that I could still walk with my legs in my life!
"Thank you, Village Chief Yu, you are my living benefactor!"
"Ahem, we won't say these stingy words," Yu Zhen said. "It's proven that the treatment is effective now, but it will take some time to be like a normal person. You'll be with me all these days."
"good!"
"Now you can tell me what's going on here."
"I'll let Professor Jiang and the others say."
In the comfortable living room, Wei Cheng invited all the experts he invited from China.
When Yu Zhen looked at the dark faces and rough hands of these people, he knew that they worked in the fields all year round.
Yu Zhen admires such a person the most. He used his hard work to silently contribute in the fields, so that China could get rid of the fate of food being controlled by others.
"Hello, Professor Jiang."
"Hello Village Chief Yu," Professor Jiang is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a solid figure, and a pair of big hands. He can farm at first glance. "I didn't expect that the famous Baiyun Village Chief would be so young."
"Professor Jiang praised it, I'm just a little better than others."
Seeing that his attitude was so humble, Professor Jiang and others were relieved.
Baiyun Village is so famous in China that it is difficult to know whether or not.
So they were very worried before that the boss behind such a huge multinational group might be so arrogant.
But now it seems that not only is not as annoyed as they imagined, this young man named Yu Zhen is still very polite and polite to them, and he can't see any arrogance.
"Professor Jiang, Wei Cheng said that there are many farmland problems here. What's going on?"
"To explain this issue clearly, you need to know three families, consortiums and companies first."
Yu Zhen frowned. When he heard these words, he felt an ominous premonition that "big capitalists are going to come out to cause trouble."
Sure enough, after listening to the explanations of Professor Jiang and his friends, he realized that behind these millions of acres of land, there was such a sinister conspiracy and trajectory hidden.
The first of the three families and consortiums Professor Jiang mentioned is the Willy family - the Rockell family.
The Willy family mainly resells oil, but with the recent years, the United States has begun to produce shale oil, their family's business has been greatly affected.
But after all, they are a big family for more than a hundred years. After the oil trade began to shrink, they took the opportunity to turn to other industries.
In Africa, there are mainly wood and various minerals.
The second is the famous American Steel Company.
This does not refer to steel companies across the United States, but a company called "US Steel Company". Its predecessor was Carnegie Steel Company founded by the steel king Carnegie.
The company has acquired more than 50 companies and has successfully monopolized the US steel market and raw material market.
Even in the era when Internet economy companies are rising everywhere, they are still a world-class giant company.
Compared with these two large companies and big families, the third company is a bit too small to see.
"North and South" seed companies.
"It sounds a bit strange, but it is indeed called this name," Professor Jiang explained. "This company is from the Netherlands and was originally mainly engaged in Southeast Asia.
"But as we learned from our peers, they have divided a large part of the funds and technical personnel since the first two years ago and came to the Egunu area."
"What are they doing here?"
“On the surface, it is to provide locals with agricultural services, such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural equipment, and even agricultural assistance loans.
"It is said that in the first year, they spent billions of dollars in heavy investment to help locals develop agriculture."
"That sounds like a good thing."
"No, this is not a good thing, it's a conspiracy."
North and South companies agreed to invest a large amount of corn cultivation in the Egunu area.
The first year they provide seeds, fertilizers and pesticides and are responsible for recycling, and local farmers only need to be responsible for farming.
When I heard that such a good thing was happening, the local management vigorously promoted it, allowing the locals to take action and grow this kind of corn on a large scale.
The seeds, fertilizers and pesticides of the North and South companies are indeed very powerful. Even with the locals' nature of not liking to farming, they still achieved very good harvests.
However, after the North and South companies recycled the corn, deducted the seeds, pesticides and fertilizers in the agreement, and deducted the money from renting mechanized farm tools, the farmers did not have much left.
But even so, the income was still much higher than before, so starting the second year, more people devoted themselves to the "great" cause of growing corn.
And in order not to pay expensive rent, many people have borrowed loans to buy agricultural machinery.
But unexpectedly, not only did seed prices rise in the next year, but pesticides and fertilizers rise sharply, but the farmers' investment has already continued, so they can only grit their teeth and buy.
When it comes to harvest, because the local area cannot consume so much corn, it is even more impossible to export it, so it can only be recycled by the North and South companies at a very low price.
So the following year, the farmers invested a lot of money, worked hardest, and harvested the best quality and high-yield corn, but in the end they got very few.
In the third year, at the beginning of this year, in order to continue to cut leeks, North and South companies have given new preferential policies.
All families with a planting volume of more than 100 acres will provide various agricultural supplies for free and will be recycled at the lowest price!
When we heard that seeds, fertilizers and other things were not expensive, we would not be able to reduce the price of corn, so everyone's interest was raised again. Moreover, we have been growing corn for two years and are very skilled and used to it.
So this spring, everyone started planting their own land with free seeds and fertilizers.
The harvest was still very good, and the North and South companies also fulfilled the original insurance agreement very well and collected all the corn.
But many people immediately discovered something wrong.
After the corn harvest, many people did not want the land to be idle, so they prepared to plant some cassava, peppers, tomatoes, etc., but they were frightened to find that most of the seeds planted in the field did not sprout.
Even if it sprouts, it grows very badly and cannot produce anything at all!
After the local farmers realized, the North and South companies had already made a lot of money and withdrew from Africa.
But what is left is a mess.
Farmers who grow large areas basically buy loans, or rent agricultural machinery at high prices, and some people have loaned to contract large areas of land, but now they have not even recovered their capital.
People who grow and operate a small scale have not made any money because they have the conditions for free and insured prices this year.
The most hateful thing is that this millions of acres of land was damaged by their "special effect" fertilizers and pesticides, and it turned into a dead land!
