Chapter 246 Evil Capital(1/2)
Now, these millions of acres of land in the Egunu area are estimated to not be able to grow any good crops in a few years or even ten years.
Not only did the local farmers not get any benefits, many of them were in debt and were unable to repay their loans at all.
And in these three years, the agricultural company has earned all the benefits in all aspects, and then patted the butt and left, regardless of the life or death of the locals.
Yu Zhen has never lived abroad. He didn't know that an agricultural company could be so careless and demonstrate the selfish and greedy nature of capital.
Of course, this is just a superficial matter.
The North and South companies do not have such strong strength to advance the cultivation of millions of acres of farmland. The real driving force behind them is the well-funded Rockell family and the American Iron and Steel Company.
There is no land to cultivate in the Egunu area, but the locals cannot move away and have to continue living here.
what to do?
Easy to deal with, selling ore.
However, the local management itself has no ability to mine, and the export market is monopolized by large capital, so even if it is mined, there is no place to sell it.
Therefore, there is only one way out before the local management level, selling the mining rights to others at a cheap price, in exchange for some cheap jobs and meager contract profits.
From beginning to end, this is a carefully planned plundering battle.
One by one, one by one, every step is approaching the key.
Of course, capitalists will not admit that this is plunder. They will pride themselves as saviors under the banner of free trade, contractual spirit and humanitarianism.
"These people are really hateful," Professor Jiang sighed at last, "It's a pity that many of the local management have been penetrated by capital and have become vested interests. They have safeguarded foreign capital everywhere and allowed large amounts of their own resources to be sold at a low price.
"Actually, this is nothing, but the hundreds of thousands of local people will be really sad in the future.
"Several mines cannot use so many workers at all, and hundreds of thousands of people will have to return to the point of not filling their stomachs."
"Captain Yu," Wei Cheng said at this time, "so I want to take this opportunity to help them solve these farmland problems in the name of Baiyun Village.
"If it goes well, then Baiyun Village's popularity in the local area will definitely reach 100%.
“Also, we need ore.
"But these are not the most important things. What's important is that when I think of being successful by the Rockell family and the American Steel Company, I feel angry.
"If you can make these careless guys lose their compassion, that's the best."
Yu Zhen pondered silently.
He almost knew the whole thing, it was much more complicated than he thought and very difficult.
First of all, whether the farmland matter can be solved, how long it takes, how much money or energy it takes, is still unknown.
Even if it is solved, it is still unknown whether the local management will keep its promise and hand over the ore mining rights to Wei Cheng.
The Rockell family and the American Steel Company spent three years on this matter and invested a lot of money and costs. They would definitely not watch the meat they ate to their mouths be stolen.
In addition, the stock price of the US Steel Company has fallen very sharply in the past one or two years, so it is inevitable to find a cheap mineral source.
The Rockells are also looking for new opportunities to get rid of the excessive oil industry since.
If someone dares to obstruct them, they will inevitably counterattack strongly and do everything they can.
Yu is really happy to help local farmers. After all, this is a good thing and it can increase the popularity of Baiyun Village.
But fighting with two large consortiums sounds a bit impulsive and does not directly help enhance the reputation of Baiyun Village.
Unless this matter can attract the attention of the whole world, then fight back heavily, and beautifully win the opponent.
But can a mine in Africa have such great influence?
Obviously not.
But he finally decided to give it a try.
There is a saying that goes well.
If there is no conditions, create conditions; if there is no influence, create influence!
As much as possible, they can pull the Rockell family and the American Steel Company into the water, so that they can have a huge fight in this matter. If they can ask the American government and their allies to intervene together, then this matter will be perfect.
No matter whether you make money or lose money later, at least your popularity can definitely increase your size.
But to play the capital game, he still needs two necessary conditions.
First of all, it requires money, a lot of money.
This problem is easier to solve. As long as the shipment volume of Baiyun Village is increased, the domestic market alone can raise huge amounts of funds in a very short period of time.
So there is no need to worry about money.
Secondly, it is necessary for someone who knows what he knows to trade.
Economic rules are all set by Westerners, so they are beneficial to Westerners participating in capital games. If you want to emerge from the army and seize food from them, you must clearly understand their rules and counterattack methods.
It seems that none of the people around Yu Zhen can take on this important task.
Wei Cheng is too young, Qiu Yun must not be able to do it. The domestic affairs are enough for her to be busy.
Yang Yu has outstanding abilities, but probably his situation is not enough, let alone Willie. It is still a problem to have the confidence to fight with his family.
Let Roman come?
Not bad, this person is too utilitarian and it is difficult to co-star with him.
After thinking about it, I could only bite the bullet and go on my own.
As for others, of course, they don’t do anything.
This is a "big project" that requires the joint efforts and cooperation of everyone.
However, before making a plan, you still have to take Yang Yu over first. He still has something to do with Africa, so you can use it.
Willie is going to call over, too.
Since the opponent is his family, he must make good use of this piece.
Also, Roman, Lu Shang and Yu Zhen also assigned them tasks.
After making a decision, Yu Zhen no longer thought about it and was ready to start taking action now.
"Luo Bian, you and Professor Jiang and others will go out now, collect some samples in the farmland, analyze them in detail as much as possible, and give a report."
"good."
"Wei Cheng, you have to work hard these days."
"What am I going to do?"
"You communicate with the local government and see if those people are biased towards us, those people are biased towards Rockell and others, and master their assets as detailed as possible," Yu Zhen said, "but you must investigate quietly and not alert the enemy."
"Yes, I've actually checked this, so I'll add it." Wei Cheng knew that he was going to start a big move, and he was even more excited than being able to walk. "Captain Yu, do you want me to go back and ask my dad to help me out?"
"No need yet. You guys go to work separately. I'll go back to Baiyun Village to pick up Yang Yu."
...
It was already evening when Yu Zhen returned to Baiyun Village.
He was not at home, so Qiu Yun was naturally embarrassed to come over, so he went to Qiu Yun's house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the door, I saw her father sitting in the yard smoking. Seeing that he was so late, he came to find Qiu Yun, and the old man's face turned long.
But it is of great importance, and Yu Zhen has no time to delay, so he can only walk in with his teeth: "Uncle Qiu, you haven't slept yet because you're so late?"
"You know it's so late, too?"
Yu Zhen:...
It was broken, so I knew I should have brought some local specialties from Africa.
"I'll talk to Qiu Yun about work."
"It's not me who said you," said Qiu Yun's father, "You are such a big person, why don't you think about things carefully?"
Listening to his future father-in-law's preaching, Yu Zhen had to lower his head fiercely.
"I know you are a good young man, but you can't just be so confused about your relationship with Qiu Yun, right?"
"yes."
"I'm not urging you to get married, but this is a no-name and no-no. She always goes to you every day. I don't think anything, but others will gossip, right?"
"right?"
"So when did you get married?"
"this……"
"Dad! What did you say?"
At this time, Qiu Yun heard Yu Zhen's voice and quickly came out to "rescue the car".
Seeing his daughter come out, Qiu Yun's father stopped talking, but his face didn't look very good either.
Yu Zhen immediately understood, but he had already mentioned this issue to Qiu Yun, but it might have been denied, so his father-in-law usually gave him this face.
This time, I may have been suppressed for a long time, so I found an opportunity to talk to him about this.
