Chapter 937 Cargill(1/2)
"Nan's Scarlett Grain Group, Eugene Diesel."
“The Cargill Family Cargill Corporation, Whitney MacMillan.”
Minnesota, Eugene Diesel and Whitney MacMillan, Cargill's chairman and CEO and a member of the Cargill family, met on a trail near the forest.
"Eugene, I very much appreciate your Scarlett Food Group's strategy of 'sustained and stable low profitability'." Macmillan skipped title, sir and other titles and called him by his first name.
"Grain is a very special product, and it is unethical to make profits too high. I also really appreciate Cargill's slogan of 'Feeding the World.'"
"This is our best wish at Cargill." McMillan shrugged, got on his bicycle, and took the lead to ride forward.
Diesel slowed down and pedaled his bicycle to keep up, "Whitney, what do you think of the Agreement on Agriculture?"
The Agreement on Agriculture is a link in the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreement, which regulates and restricts international agricultural trade from three aspects: market access, domestic support and export competition.
Among them, domestic support refers to the collective name for various fiscal expenditure measures carried out by the government through various domestic policies to support agriculture and farmers.
It is necessary for countries (regions) to take measures to support agricultural production, but it is also one of the main reasons for unfair competition in international agricultural trade.
Since there are many types of these measures with different effects, in order to treat them differently, the Agreement on Agriculture divides all domestic support measures into different categories according to their different impacts on production and trade, vividly using "green box" policies and "yellow box" policies.
It is distinguished from the "blue box" policy and has different provisions.
Among them, "green box" policies refer to those policies that do not have a distorting impact on production and trade or have a very weak impact; "yellow box" policies refer to policies that have a direct distorting effect on production and trade, including providing services to a specific
Support for agricultural products also includes support that does not differentiate between specific products; the "blue box" policy refers to measures that while implementing price support measures, also limit production area, number of livestock and product output.
Since the "amber box" policy has the most direct effect on production and trade and has the most obvious distortionary impact, it has attracted greater attention from governments around the world. The concession commitments in the WTO agricultural negotiations also mainly focus on the "amber box" policy.
"Eugene, your question is not clever. If you didn't have the answer yourself, we wouldn't be able to meet today." Macmillan ignored the stone thrown by Diesel and did not take any detours at all.
Although the final negotiations of the "Uruguay Round" will not begin until next year, the terms and framework that will eventually be signed have long been rumored, and only "specific data" are still unknown.
As for the Agreement on Agriculture, both Diesel and Macmillan already know that the "regulations" will stipulate that developed countries will reduce the amount of export subsidies and the export volume of subsidized products by a percentage each in the next few years; developing countries will
It will also be reduced by a proportion in the next few years.
The life span of developing countries will be longer than that of developed countries, and the reduction ratio will be lower than that of developed countries. The Agreement on Agriculture actually supports the agricultural development of developing countries in disguise.
In addition, developed countries also need to reduce agricultural production subsidies. This number will not be too small, and the maximum may be 20%.
Under this influence, the support and subsidies for agriculture in various agricultural product exporting countries will gradually weaken, support and subsidies will be reduced, and the income from agricultural planting will not be guaranteed. In the next few years, global food production will definitely decrease, and exports will also decrease. The world
The problem of imbalance between food supply and demand will gradually become apparent, and rising food prices will cause prices of most commodities to rise, thereby causing global inflation.
"It's not very clever. In the next few years, our two families will encounter good opportunities and also encounter big crises. Compared with Cargill, which has been in existence for 127 years, we Scarlett are still very young and have not accumulated enough. However, youth also means
With simplicity, there are endless possibilities.”
"I personally am very optimistic about Scarlett's future development. Scarlett's localization strategy is even better than Cargill's. You also attach great importance to and use of technology, and you put it simply. I appreciate it very much." Mike
Mirren turned to look at Diesel, "In this year's fall crocodile hunting season, I plan to go to Florida to hunt crocodiles. I hope Mr. Adam can go with me."
"I'll pass it on."
Diesel responded and said no more. His purpose of coming to Minnesota has been achieved. McMillan's meaning was very clear - cooperation can be discussed, and people who can make decisions can come and talk.
"Uncle Monkey, your business is really good here. There are several tables eating barbecue in the morning."
After getting up in the morning and finishing her workout, Nan Ruobin took Nan Youqiong to Lao Pao Barbecue on Yanbian Street. Monkey treated the two of them to breakfast of miso soup, grilled pork belly, and Korean beef.
"What they eat is not breakfast. The night life of white-collar workers in Seoul is very rich. Starting from eight or nine o'clock in the evening, they will have several rounds of drinking. After eating these tables at my place, they will go directly to work." Monkey put down his hand.
Omelette, sitting next to Nan Ruopeng, "Would you like some wine?"
"don't want."
Nan Ruobin waved his hand, picked up a piece of lettuce leaf, dipped a piece of Korean beef in the dipping sauce and put it on the lettuce leaf, then added enoki mushrooms and garlic, wrapped the lettuce leaf into a ball and stuffed it into Nan Youqiong's mouth.
Inside, he wrapped another one and stuffed it into his mouth.
After eating a few pieces of meat and drinking a few mouthfuls of miso soup with rice, Nan Ruobin wiped her lips with a napkin and said, "Uncle Monkey, dad asked me to ask you if you have found a marriage partner. He has already prepared your marriage.
The gift is just waiting to be given out."
"Come on, come on." The monkey said slightly shyly.
"Really, Uncle Monkey, I want a separate wedding invitation so that you can earn an extra red envelope."
The monkey nodded, expressed his thanks, and waved to the side. After receiving the signal, Hui Shu came over and handed him a folder.
Monkey opened the folder and put it on the table. He pointed at the records one by one and told Nan Ruobin the location of the house, the size of the area, the price at which it was purchased, and other information. If he had any questions, Nan Ruobin would ask questions.
Nan Youqiong sat on the edge, eating and listening with open ears.
In fact, there has always been someone on Monkey's side, so there is no need for Nan Ruobing to worry about it. Now the unnecessary step is to let her understand the business first and prepare for her future job.
One record after another passed by, and soon it was the turn of the latest one.
"Uncle Monkey, which group or company wants this house at No. 522, Apgujeong 2-dong?"
"Uh..." Monkey hesitated for a while and said, "The property rights of this house will be handed over to Zhao Jinshui."
"Oh, Dad wants it for himself. What does he want the house in Seoul for?"
"Not sure."
Nan Ruobing caught the strangeness in Monkey's tone, looked away from the document, looked at Monkey's face, and said in an interrogating tone: "Not sure?"
The monkey's gaze swept across Nan Youqiong's face, "I don't know, it's not convenient for me to get involved in the boss's personal affairs."
"oh."
Nan Ruoping nodded. He already understood that this house was related to "women". He picked up the folder, read it from beginning to end again, closed it behind his chest after understanding, and handed it back to the monkey.
"Uncle Monkey, you can pay more attention to the houses in Cheongdam-dong and Seocho-dong. The properties in these two holes will have greater room for appreciation in the future."
“I have always paid attention to these two holes, but the people living in these two places are all old money, there are not many people who have fallen prey to loan sharks, and there are even fewer people who want to sell their houses.
Hyeon-dong and Sinsa-dong are the places where people with new money live more concentratedly. The appreciation potential of the houses is not bad, and the wealth of the people living here is unstable. One day they will be rich and the next they will be poor. It is uncertain. Selling
There are more people in the house.”
"Well, you can also pay attention to the shops over at Dongdaemun."
"There is news from the Zero Degree faction that several shop owners in Dongdaemun who own shops have been frequenting the Yongsan base of the US military here recently. There is a casino inside. Someone will definitely lose to usury in the future."
Nan Ruopeng: "Can the Zero Degree School bring business to Longshan Base?"
"If you can't get in, that is the sphere of influence of other gangs. The Zero Degree faction will contact the target in advance, give them a relatively low interest rate, and win over the business first."
"Zheng Zongzhi is quite business-minded. Uncle Monkey, has Zero Degree School also started to engage in real estate business?"
"Yes, gangs here in South Korea will enter the real estate business when they grow stronger, and there will often be fights on construction sites in Seoul," said Monkey.
Nan Ruoping pursed her lips and said, "Is Zheng Zongzhi clean?"
"It's not clean. There were murder cases on him, but they were all wiped out. Either there were no witnesses or someone blamed him."
"Forget it, there's no need to see the chamber pot." Nan Ruoping said, turning to look at Nan Youqiong, "Are you full?"
"I am full."
"Well. Uncle Monkey, let's go. We want to have fun outside today."
Yangcheng.
Chen Ruiwu led Nan Wuwei to the magnesium mobile houses on the construction site. He walked into one of the rooms and said to a female staff member: "Xiao Jiang, this is Wuwei. You are responsible for accompanying him today. Where does he want to go?"
I'll accompany you wherever I do, and don't go to any place that's too dangerous."
After Chen Ruiwu talked to the female staff member named Xiao Jiang, he said to Nan Wuwei: "Wuwei, I still have something to do. You stay here by yourself. I will pick you up for dinner later at noon."
"Yeah, goodbye, Grandpa Ruiwu."
Nan Wuwei watched Chen Ruiwu leave, immediately walked to Xiao Jiang, and said sweetly: "Hello, little **sister."
"Hello."
Jiang Haiyi didn't know what to call the child in front of him. The one accompanied by the big boss was definitely not a child from an ordinary family.
"Little **sister, my name is Nan Wuwei. My classmates all call me Namowen. You can also call me that, little **sister." Nan Wuwei said understandingly.
Seeing that Nan Wuwei was a polite child, Jiang Haiyi became calm, "Oh, Wuwei, my name is Jiang Haiyi. The chairman asked me to accompany you today. Where do you want to go, I will go with you?"
"I want to take a look at the workers' information on the construction site first. Grandpa Ruiwu said it is on the computer here." Nan Wuwei pointed to the computer at Jiang Haicheng's workstation.
"Okay, I'll bring it up for you to see." Jiang Haiyi responded, walked to the workstation, tapped on the keyboard a few times to bring up a simple Erp system, gave up his seat and said to Nan Wuwei: "Wuwei, it's okay
Watched it."
"Thank you, little **sister."
Nan Wuwei sat down at Jiang Haiyang's workstation, with his left little finger on the Tab key and his right index finger on Page Down. He looked at the screen and tapped his fingers from time to time.
Jiang Haicheng stood on the side and watched Nan Wuwei's operations, wondering in his heart, "What's so interesting about migrant workers' information?"
Nan Wuwei not only read, but occasionally wrote something in his notebook. The curious Jiang Haicheng had been paying attention and saw that he remembered the brief information of certain migrant workers.
As time passed, Jiang Haicheng's curiosity became more and more intense, and finally she couldn't help but ask Nan Wuwei, "Wuwei, why do you remember this?"
"My summer homework." Nan Wuwei said without raising his head.
"summer homework?"
