Chapter 438
"The way of the leaping horse rivers and lakes, the ambition is higher than the sky, one is gentle and beautiful, the other is a graceful and beautiful boy, draws a long sword, crosses the divine sculpture, and cares about the beautiful woman. , look forward to seeing each other again, no longer wishing to die, hand in hand to bid farewell to the world of mortals, life after life forever..."
After Catherine came back, Nan Yi took her to watch "The Legend of Condor Heroes" together. As soon as the opening song "Leaping Horse Road" played, Nan Yi was immediately brought into memory.
Because it was dubbed by Taipu, Catherine couldn't understand it at all. After watching it for a few minutes, she didn't want to watch it; Nanyi was a little better, and he insisted on half an episode.
After this lesson, Nanyi is completely clear-some things can only be kept in memory, and it is not suitable to dig them out to remember.
This is the same as the first love that has not reached the final step. It is very sweet to imagine in my mind, but I really have to take action to make up for the shortcomings in life... Hey, who is this aunt, whose waist is as thick as a bucket.
Or, so coquettish, this is not the little dragon girl in my mind.
Nan Yi returned the video tape from the video recorder and put it back in the box, thinking that it was a good thing it was rented, otherwise another sum of money was wasted.
Instead of watching the video, watch TV, which is showing the sixth episode of the first season of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", "The Case of the Spotted Tape".
"Adam, change the channel."
"Don't like watching?"
"No, it's a replay, I've watched this episode."
"I haven't watched it, watch it again with me." Nan Yi hugged Catherine and prevented her from getting the remote control.
"No, this is a suspenseful crime drama. If you already know the answer and watch it again, you won't have the sense of anticipation and thrilling feeling." Catherine pouted.
"President, call, Diesel is calling." At this moment, Uedo Masami came over with the phone.
Nan Yi stood up, took the phone, and walked outside the castle.
Watching Nanyi leave, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the remote control and changed the channel.
"Kim, what's the matter?"
"Boss, someone wants to order 200,000 tons of wheat from us." Kim Diesel said on the phone.
As soon as Nanyi heard it, he knew that there was something wrong. Although 200,000 tons of wheat was a lot, it was sold normally. There was no need to call him to tell him, as long as it was written in the report at the end of the month.
"What is the identity of the buyer? It can't be a terrorist organization, right?"
"No, the buyer is an ordinary Saudi businessman." Kim Diesel explained.
When Nanyi heard it, he was happy.
"An ordinary businessman who farts, he has a dark heart, how much wheat did Saudi Arabia produce last year?"
"Less than 5 million tons."
"Oh, one twenty-fifth." Nan Yi sneered, "What price does the other party offer?"
"1.5 times the market price, if we can provide transportation, the other party can give 5 times."
Nan Yi thought for a while and said: "The transportation is not included, and it will be shipped to the port of Yiguo. Jin, remember, this transaction is still a normal transaction for us, but the buyer is good and willing to pay more."
"clear."
"To make an assessment, if the Scarlett Food Group goes to Saudi Arabia to contract land cultivation for a period of ten years, will it be profitable for us and what is the profitability rate?"
"This can only be evaluated after discussing the conditions with the Saudi royal family."
"Then make contact."
"OK." Kim Diesel said on the phone again: "In addition, the wild rice seeds of sea rice have been found, and Fan Shengzhi will start research soon."
"Understood, is there anything else?"
"there is none left."
Nanyi hung up the phone, remembering that last year a customer from the Middle East bought tens of thousands of tons of wheat from Scarlett Grain Group. He did not expect that there would be more greedy buyers this year.
Sure enough, there are smart people in every country doing things like cheating on subsidies.
Since Mobil Oil dug its first oil well in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia has entered the era of lying down and making money.
But the king of Saudi Arabia, "Saudi", is a visionary. "Saudi" thinks that Saudi cannot just rely on selling oil to live. He can use oil as a weapon against others, and others can use food as a weapon against himself.
So, with a big wave of his hand, he asked someone to invite a large number of internationally renowned agricultural experts to Saudi Arabia to investigate why Saudi Arabia could not grow food.
After some research, the experts came to a consistent conclusion: Saudi Arabia cannot grow food because of lack of water and drought.
Nanyi thought that the money was really easy to earn, and he could come to this conclusion without doing any research.
Saudi thought, "No water? Then find water."
So, he found a large number of geological experts, wandered around Saudi Arabia, and finally came to a reliable conclusion: Saudi Arabia is short of surface water, but the groundwater is very rich. As long as the groundwater is pumped up, the problem of farmland irrigation can be solved. .
Saudi Arabia has money, and "Saudi Arabia" also has money. Since Saudi Arabia has the conditions for farming, let's do it.
Then, he invited back the group of agricultural experts. The group of agricultural experts thought that they had received money last time, but did not come up with a reliable plan. They felt ashamed, so they showed some real skills and were very responsible. designed a set of local solutions for Saudi Arabia.
With water, there is also a plan, but what about the people who farm the land?
For thousands of years, people have lived by buying food from outside, and there is no factor in the genes of Saudis to grow food.
"Saudi Arabia" believes that money can make motui ghosts. With a big wave of his hand, he issued a policy: to distribute land to the Saudi people for free, as long as the people are on the land allocated to him, one quarter of the land is planted with food, and the land It is privately owned by the people.
Saudi Arabia can find oil wherever it drills down. Can't it be possible to mine oil if it has land?
So the Saudi people enthusiastically joined the "farming" army, brandishing hoes to dig up oil.
One year passed, and "Saudi Arabia" saw that there were not a few grains of grain planted in the country, but a lot more oil wells. He thought, this is not good, and the people's enthusiasm for farming must be increased.
So, he waved his hand again and raised the purchase price of grain. The price of grain purchased by the Saudi government from farmers began to increase rapidly. It was several times the international price at first, and then slowly increased to more than ten times. Dozens of times the international price.
From 1963 to 1982, Saudi Arabia jumped from a 100% grain importer to one of the world's top six grain exporters.
Although it has become a major grain exporter, "Saudi Arabia" is actually confused. If you sell a catty of grain, you have to lose a lot of money. The recovered grain costs several dollars per catty, but you can only sell it for more than a dozen cents. .
Had it not been supported by oil and dollars, Saudi Arabia would have been bankrupted long ago.
As for why they export even at a loss, this is because every Middle Easterner has a "dream of a great country" in his heart, and there is a catchphrase in his heart-Arabs all over the world unite!
Saudi food is mainly exported to other Middle Eastern countries. As for the purpose, it is naturally self-evident.
To be honest, "Saudi Arabia" is much smarter than Saddam Hussein's third military power. If there is a vacuum in the Middle East where international forces cannot enter, then "Saudi Arabia" may not be able to realize its dream of becoming a great power.
It's a pity that there is no if. Saudi Arabia's food power can only be a mirage and a castle in the air. It cannot last at all. Other food exporting countries are unwilling to see Saudi Arabia's rise in food. An orange warning will be issued.
Not to mention the big level, let’s get down to earth first.
Saudi Arabia’s grain purchase price is so high, and there are business opportunities in it. Hey, why do you have to work so hard to grow it? Isn’t it possible to buy grain from outside and sell it to the government?
Dozens of times the profit, iron-blooded men are willing to take this risk. Therefore, in the dead of night in the Persian Gulf, there are cargo ships approaching Oman and Yemen, which are full of grain.
If Nanyi hadn't wanted to take root in the food field, he would have had red eyes, carried AK and RPG on his back, and went to be a pirate in the Persian Gulf.
It's a pity that if there is no if, he can only stare blankly, watching others put a lot of money in their pockets.
"Oh, it's a pity, Saudi Arabia is a big dog, rich as hell, and lucky, you can pick up two kicks in the desert." Nan Yi cursed, handed the phone back to Masami Ueto, and went back to the castle Watch commercials with Catherine.
