Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 304: Madam's Family Dinner and Old Shi's Actions

new York.

Smith's office on the third floor of the Nasdaq podium.

Old Smith carefully prepared a sumptuous lunch for his wife who had just returned from the East after recovering from a serious illness.

But the two of them are old and can’t eat too much, so after a brief taste, they started to taste the new fruit puree that SY had put on the shelves.

the end.

The lady wiped her mouth and said, "The little guy was in the ward and talked to me a lot."

Old Smith put down his spoon and listened carefully.

He didn't think that his wife was under house arrest by Yu Sanyuan.

Even if travel is restricted, it is a way to exchange information privately.

Therefore, the conversation between the other party and the lady may involve the subsequent cooperation.

"He talked to me about Jewish capital in North America and Europe, and expressed his personal views on the two major financial groups. He was particularly envious of our love story."

Old Smith looked surprised, "He envies us?"

"Shouldn't it be?"

The lady was very pleased with Yu Yang's envy.

Because the men and women of Jacob Astor's family are indeed a relatively unique conservative and loyal group in North America, where gender is relatively open.

Just like the famous 'Titanic' movie.

Do you really think that the heroine Rose is a beautiful and loyal noble lady?

No, she was a socialite in her fifties. Even when she was on the Titanic, there were still five men around her.

And the Heart of the Ocean and Jack giving up his position on the lifeboat are also fictional.

The real story is that the world's richest man, Astor IV, sent his wife and children onto the lifeboat with limited space after his cruise ship sank, and froze to death in the sea.

So Astor VI survived, and Astor VII was born, along with this Lady Smith.

Perhaps the style of the ancestors influenced the family style, or perhaps the older genes influenced the behavior of future generations. The men and women in the Astor family all have very romantic love stories and happy families.

Just like her and old Smith.

So the lady's envy of Yu Yang was not only enjoyment, but also a little pride.

Old Smith coughed. "Did you talk about anything special?"

"I was asked about the Jewish royal family, the Schiff family (Walton's family), the Oppenheimer family, and so on. Later, they also talked about your grandfather's friend, Edward Henry Harriman."

Old Smith picked up the wine glass and thought quickly.

His grandfather's generation is very far away from now.

Moreover, it was a period when Jewish capital was supporting American capital and American capital was breaking up with Jewish capital. The struggle was extremely complicated and brutal.

But if we talk about Harriman, it must involve many factors such as the Astor family (former railroad tycoon), James Hill (railroad tycoon), Roosevelt (General Manager of North America), JP Morgan (railroad trust), Rockefeller (oil tycoon, controlled the northern railroad), etc.

The above-mentioned people are the actual controllers of the current railway systems in North America.

"Railway... Could it be that Yu Sanyuan is taking this opportunity to test us and see if he can get involved in the North American railway industry?"

"He is really good at rail transportation, and the North American railway system is already in disarray. If Sanyuan Agriculture uses the Astor family's background and the help of old Morgan and you to obtain the operating rights of the Pacific and Atlantic Railways, it won't be difficult. The difficulty is that he is not an American citizen and does not have the qualifications to operate."

Old Smith nodded.

If Yu Yang wants to intervene in the North American railway, the initiative is in his own hands. There is no need to consider these issues now. Wait until the other party comes to him.

"What else did you talk about?"

"The history of the Walton family, and its present state."

In old Smith's opinion, old Walton had no talent.

The capable ones are his grandfather, Jacob Schiff, and his father, Jacob Walton.

The reason why old Walton quickly took control of the Walton family after his father was hit by four missiles was entirely because the Walton family was the steward of the Rothschild family consortium.

In other words, old Walton is the "steward" heir recognized by the Rothschild family.

Therefore, after he was imprisoned, his younger brother, Jason Walton, and his five children, with the authorization of the Rothschild family, became "temporary stewards", successfully took control of the Walton family's industry, and acquired the North American Ten Mile Mall.

As a result, the Walton family's business was not affected in the slightest after old Walton was imprisoned.

It can also be seen from this that in the big capital game, no one is irreplaceable except the person playing chess.

Of course, no chess piece is willing to have its fate manipulated by others, so they must have prepared many cards in secret.

So was old Walton, so was the Smith family, and so was old Bull's family.

Old Smith thought for a moment and brought out the whole story of how Old Walton was imprisoned in Tai City Prison.

for a long time.

“Madam, I suspect that Yu Sanyuan has been eyeing the Walton family for a long time.

He first established Dongcheng Walmart in the capital, and then operated it secretly. He waited until Sanyuan Agriculture came into contact with American capital and then killed Jacob Walton.

You know, four missiles hit Jacob Walton's business jet. One was ours, one was Old Bush's, one was Old Morgan's, and the last one was a modified high-precision "Javelin" missile mounted on the high-performance MiG-25, which was most likely Yu Sanyuan's.

So many things make sense then.

Yu Sanyuan helped the incompetent old Walton to take the top position, and then created high-end imitation incidents of Dongcheng Wal-Mart, RT-Mart, and Metro to attract old Walton to visit the East, and took the opportunity to detain him.

At this time, Sanyuan Agriculture had a backup customer that could "take over the North American Ten-Mile Mall."

Because old Walton is timid, afraid of death, hypocritical, selfish, and lacks the noble consciousness of sacrificing himself for his family, under the coercion of Yu Sanyuan, he will inevitably acquire the North American Shili Mall.

Based on this, Yu Sanyuan tried every means to make concessions to us and Lao Bu, and finalized the North American Ten-Li Mall project, and then we boldly invested in the North American Ten-Li Mall project.

At the same time, the European Ten-Mile Mall project was launched, and the North American Ten-Mile Mall was short-lived and began to decline.

All along, I have never been able to figure out why Yu Sanyuan wanted to destroy the North American Shili Mall and then transfer it to the Walton family. Now, after a series of events, it is basically certain that he wanted the Walton family to take over the European Shili Mall. "

The lady was stunned for a moment, then blinked, "After the Walton family acquired the North American Ten Mile Mall, they suffered losses one after another. It is impossible for them to acquire the European Ten Mile Mall."

"But Yu Sanyuan can coerce old Walton to exchange the North American Shili Mall for the European Shili Mall."

"why?"

"Because the products in the North American Shili Mall are sold out, Yu Sanyuan needs to take them back to restock them."

"···"

"Madam, North America does not allow Sanyuan Agriculture to dump products, but Yu Sanyuan uses Shili Mall as a warehouse. If we transfer hundreds of malls at once, can't we realize commodity trading?"

The lady understood and exclaimed, "He is always so smart."

"Shouldn't you scold him?"

"why?"

Old Smith took a deep breath, lit his pipe, and stopped talking.

The lady smiled and said, "Sir, the real market and the financial market are two different things. You always hope that your plan will take effect immediately after implementation, but the real market needs time to react, which may be half a year, or one or two years.

Like Yu Sanyuan, why does he win every time?

Because many of his plans were deployed two or three years ago, and today, after long-term preparation, they suddenly burst out with energy that no one can stop. So we always lose.

Of course, we also made a lot of money.

As for the Walton family, it is best for us not to interfere, otherwise it would be like helping Yu Sanyuan."

"Madam, if we don't intervene, Yu Sanyuan will achieve secondary dumping, and the popularity of the three series products in North America will become increasingly greater. By then, it will be difficult for us to regain the North American market that originally belonged to us."

"My dear sir, we have just signed a market share transfer agreement with Sanyuan Agriculture, and the industries we have invested in the East are also developing rapidly. Are you planning to interfere with Sanyuan Agriculture's business in North America and unilaterally breach the contract? It is hard for me to imagine what Yu Sanyuan will do."

"No, we won't breach the contract. We just need to get rid of old Walton and destroy the cooperation between the two parties."

The wife saw her husband's domineering side for the first time. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "How sure are you?"

"If Walton Sr. was on a business jet, it would 100% be shot down."

At this time.

The head of the Smith family's think tank called.

"Mr. Smith, just now, Yu Sanyuan and old Walton reached a settlement agreement. Old Walton is willing to exchange the North American Ten Mile Mall, plus 200 tons of gold and 65 billion US dollars for the European Ten Mile Mall. Yu Sanyuan guarantees to safely send old Walton to the Walton family's secret location in North America."

After listening to this, Old Smith confirmed his guess and became more determined to defeat Old Walton. "Focus on Old Walton's travel methods."

"Yes, sir."

···
the other side.

After reviewing recent events in the East, Old Bush made the same decision as Old Smith.

There is no other way. Yu Sanyuan can pay taxes and sell things in North America, but Yu Sanyuan must never be allowed to engage in dumping, otherwise the manufacturing industry will usher in a great depression.

···
Thai City Prison.

After Yu Yang signed the settlement agreement, he did not send old Walton away immediately.

Because if top capital wants to get rid of someone, it is difficult to avoid it.

So, we have to wait for the opportunity.

But this matter obviously cannot be delayed.

Otherwise, his younger brother and his children would have more and more control over the Walton family's business, and the elder Walton would certainly not be able to take back what belonged to him, nor would he be able to execute the settlement agreement signed with his family.

"It seems that we need to find a way to get Old Bull and Old Smith to come to the East for a face-to-face negotiation."

Yu Yang thought about it and walked out of Tai City Prison.

This winter is particularly cold, with the temperature reaching minus 16 degrees Celsius.

The surface of the Yellow River froze, and then, pushed by the turbid river water, the ice kept hitting the bridge piers, forming pieces of ice that drifted with the waves. The scene was unique and spectacular.

On the north side of the embankment, makeshift tents, brick houses, wooden houses, and abandoned containers extend eastward along the embankment, so densely packed that there is no end in sight.

This is the "urban village" in Shiliying Street.

They are also a group of migrant workers that Sanyuan Agriculture cannot take care of.

It is a phenomenon that is difficult to avoid in the context of ultra-high-speed development.

Most of them learned about Shiliying through vegetable vendors, transport vehicles, or the industrial zones of the four southern provinces, and then brought their children here.

Some are from Bashu and Nanyun,
Some came from Xijiang and Jianfu,
Some are from Tibet and Xinjiang.
Some also come from the Northeast and the grasslands.

Since they do not belong to a collective and cannot join a collective, and cannot afford the money to settle down and qualify as temporary workers, they can only gather here in the end.

Every morning I pay attention to the radio and loudspeaker, hoping to find odd jobs.

Or you can use your connections to find temporary workers to help you, and use their employee cards to get odd jobs.

Or they can make some handicrafts, such as weaving cloth, making slippers, making steamers, etc., and bring them to the main road of Shiliying to sell.

Life must have been hard. It can even be said that the north side of the dam and the south side of the dam are two completely different worlds.

I can’t even light the stove on the north side, but the heating on the south side makes me feel thirsty.

Yu Yang once felt compassion and recruited some people into the Shili Camp, but the consequence was that the situation has evolved to the point where it is now "completely out of control".

if not?
Eat together from a big pot?
I'm afraid it will attract more people.

So we shouldn't have felt pity for them in the first place, we should have starved them away.

But people are all made of flesh and blood...
Yu Yang walked along the floating bridge and came to the north side of the dam.

There were many security banners hanging among the messy buildings.

There are also some areas surrounded by iron fences with the words "Shiliying Street Office Nursery-Branch" hanging on the wall.

Some provide free care for children aged 1 to 2 years old.

Some provide free care for children aged 3 to 4 years old.

Some provide free enlightenment for children aged 5 to 6 years old.

Older children must go to school.

Therefore, there are many temporary primary schools established in Fei City, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Tai City.

It is winter vacation, but primary schools are still in class.

The sound of reading, singing, lecturing, running in physical education class...

Yu Yang walked into one of the primary schools, came to the window of a small steel structure factory, and looked inside sideways.

In the classroom, the boys, wearing cotton jackets and trousers, sat upright on homemade stools, with their hands on the low long table used for public welfare, listening attentively to the lecture.

This should be a science class, or a 'social science' to improve cognition using the in-factory education system.

The content is about Pangu creating the world and Nuwa creating humans.

But it is different from what Yu Yang learned. It also involves many overseas legends, such as God creating humans from mud, Greek mythology creating humans from clay, Prometheus creating humans from mud...
So here comes the question.

A long, long time ago, humans around the world could hardly communicate, let alone transmit information.

Why are the stories of "making humans out of mud" popular in so many places?

And under different cultural backgrounds, the legends in different places are extremely similar?

This is a question without an answer.

Just by divergent thinking, imagination is improved, and by understanding relevant cultural characteristics, cognition is improved.

Yu Yang listened for a while, then turned and left.

Chang Fu suddenly said, "Boss, I know the answer."

"Okay, stop fiddling with the knowledge. It's nothing more than that the mother planet was 80% water at that time, and people lived on land, so they worshipped the earth."

"Boss, have you ever rubbed mud in your bath?"

"Sure."

"In ancient times, there were no tools, and people were just crawling on the land. Every time they took a bath, they would wash out mud and rub out mud lumps. Humans at that time had little knowledge, and over time, they would think that they were made of mud. So, under different cultural backgrounds, there are the same legends."

"???"
