The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

Talking at the dinner table is a unique way of emotional communication in China.

Zhao Jiangchuan arranged the meeting with Ye Tan at the Pujiang Hotel in Hongkou.

Pujiang Hotel is a century-old hotel in the true sense.

Founded in 1846 (the 26th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty), it was originally named Licha Hotel.

Founded by Westerner Richard Richards, it is the first Western restaurant in the capital since the opening of the city and even in the country. It is known as "the famous landmark building in the capital" and "the first store in China".

On February 21, 1882, the Danish Great Northern Telegraph Company opened the first manual telephone exchange in Shanghai, and the Pujiang Hotel was the first to connect.

This is the first public telephone connected in China.

In 1901, China's first electric light was lit at the Pujiang Hotel.

The Pujiang Hotel, which has gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes, has witnessed the tribulations and glory that the Magic City has experienced for hundreds of years on the Bund.

As soon as you leave the hotel, you can see the famous Waibaidu Bridge, and in the hotel rooms, you can even have a beautiful view of the Pujiang River.

A century has passed, and the international buildings on the Bund have retained their original appearance, but their interiors have long been transformed.

Only in the Pujiang Hotel, even the wooden floors from more than a hundred years ago have been preserved intact.

If you want to greet someone like Ye Tan, Pujiang Hotel is naturally the best choice.

In the largest private room of the hotel.

Zhao Jiangchuan and Ye Tan smiled at each other and shook hands.

"Boss Ye, I'm really sorry this time. You are a senior, and I, a junior, should have gone to Ningbo to visit you, but unfortunately the company has been busy recently, so I bothered you to make a trip. Jiangchuan feels deeply ashamed."

"As for Mr. Zhao, others call him boss or senior. Mr. Zhao is young and promising, and being able to take time out of his busy schedule to entertain Ye Mou has already given Ye Mou a lot of face."

After some polite words, the two parties sat down in order.

As soon as he met Ye Tan himself, Zhao Jiangchuan knew why Zhang Hua said he couldn't bear it.

Ye Tan exits at thirty.

Wearing a white coat, he looks quite elegant.

This kind of temperament does not seem to be that of a big boss fighting in the financial market, but rather that of a Confucian businessman.

But Zhao Jiangchuan could feel that there was still a domineering attitude in Ye Tan.

Although that domineering look was concealed by Ye Tan's dress.

When Zhao Jiangchuan looked at Ye Tan, Ye Tan was naturally looking at Zhao Jiangchuan.

Young, elegant and very personable.

This is what Zhao Jiangchuan thinks above the surface.

But Ye Tan only saw arrogance and domineering.

Unabashedly domineering.

The positions in the box are clearly prioritized and clearly arranged deliberately.

Zhao Jiangchuan sat on the main seat unceremoniously, without any concession, and his domineering aura was not concealed.

What an arrogant young man.

But Ye Tan didn't care either.

There is no one who can control countless capitals who is not extremely arrogant.

The hotel is very efficient.

Not long after everyone sat down, all the food was served.

As the middleman for this meeting, Zhang Hua naturally became the host.

He picked up the wine glass on the table and toasted to Ye Tan's people from time to time.

"Boss Ye, you are a guest from afar, so Zhang will go ahead as a courtesy."

"Mr. Zhang Hu, I have heard of your name when I was in Jinhua. Come, we are all members of the same family. I, Zhang, propose a toast to you."

Zhang Hua toasted as if he were drinking wine, and naturally the people on Ye Tan's side were not to be outdone.

Zhang Hu picked up the wine glass, stood up and raised his hand towards Zhao Jiangchuan.

"Mr. Zhao, I, Zhang Hu, am a rough man and can't say anything nice, but Zhang is impressed by the operation of amphibious stone on G Fenjiu. I'll give you a toast."

"Mr. Zhang Hu, we haven't finished drinking yet. You're not giving me face. We should continue drinking this glass of wine."

“…..”

Under Zhang Hua's encouragement and escort, Zhao Jiangchuan didn't even drink a glass of wine.

After discovering this, Ye Tan narrowed his eyes involuntarily.

What a terrible control ability.

Zhang Hua's disciple Ye Tan has long known that after more than thirty years of rolling around outside, he is simply a slippery old fox.

But unfortunately, such an old fox was taken under Zhao Jiangchuan's wing.

Not only that, Ye Tan could detect Zhang Hua's awe for Zhao Jiangchuan.

The way he kept fighting for wine and bad wine was like trying his best.

Zhang Hua knows his own affairs from his own family.

Zhao Jiangchuan didn't like drinking, and he knew it. On this occasion, since Zhao Jiangchuan didn't take the initiative to take the cup, he could only take it all.

Even if I drink myself to death, I still have to take it all.

Who made him fail to resist Ye Tan's pressure and finally agreed to go back and be a sounding board.

After three drinks.

Both Zhang Hua and Zhang Hu had their eyes red from drinking, and even Ye Tan was raped several times by Zhang Hua for various reasons.

But Zhao Jiangchuan still didn't drink a glass of wine.

The priorities are clear and the winner is clear.

In a small drinking contest, Zhao Jiangchuan's side won completely, while Ye Tan's side was completely suppressed.

It seems to be just a drinking contest, but it is not a confrontation between Ye Tan and Zhao Jiangchuan.

Even if no one mentioned the purpose of this meeting, both of them knew it well.

Everyone wants to gain the upper hand, everyone wants to take the initiative.

From the moment Zhang Hua conveyed Zhao Jiangchuan's intention, an invisible confrontation began.

Unfortunately, from the moment Ye Tan decided to come to the Magic City, he was already at a disadvantage.

But Ye Tan is very human after all. What he is looking for now is a united ally, so naturally the more capable the better.

Therefore, Ye Tan didn't intend to hide anything anymore, he got straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhao, I think you have guessed the purpose of my visit this time."

"I can guess a thing or two, but I still need Boss Ye to make it clear."

"Recently, there has been a lot of speculation about red beans on major exchanges. I wonder if Mr. Zhao is paying attention."

Hong Xiaodou, Zhao Jiangchuan really didn’t pay much attention to it.

Recently, his energy has been focused on the stock market and dark water, and he has not invested much energy in the futures market.

It was nothing more than information occasionally collected by the Intelligence Department, and he glanced at it twice.

But Zhao Jiangchuan could guess that since Ye Tan mentioned Hong Xiaodou, there was a reason, and he just had to listen attentively.

Ye Tan has been paying attention to Hong Xiaodou for more than a day or two.

It didn't take long for Ye Tan to explain the current situation of the red bean market.

The words were quite intense.

It seems that Japan is very dissatisfied with Japan's attempt to destroy the adzuki bean variety by suppressing the market with funds.

After understanding the current status of the red bean market, Zhao Jiangchuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

For him, this routine is too familiar.

Food war.

A term that few people have heard of.

Even in later generations, many people have never heard of the war between agriculture and food.

In the later understanding of many people, China has always been a major agricultural country, and it seems that it no longer has to die for a bite of food like people did in the 1960s.

Only people who come from rural areas know that in the next ten or twenty years, countless types of crops disappeared in China.

It was not until 95% of soybean consumption in the entire Chinese market was imported that people discovered that soybean cultivation in China had been completely destroyed.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

It was at that time that no one knew the words "food war".

On the surface, in the global agricultural product trading system, international food prices are completely determined by market supply and demand.

However, the agricultural product markets in countries such as the United States are highly monopolized.

The cooperation between the US Department of Agriculture and multinational grain merchants is also very tacit.

Another important invisible killer is the investment giants on Wall Street. Several multinational companies actually dominate the pricing power of the international agricultural product market.

Eighty percent of the world's grain trading volume is controlled by the four major multinational grain merchants "ABCD" with a century-old history.

They are American ADM, American Bunge, American Cargill and French Louis Dreyfus.

Relying on their capital and experience advantages, these four major multinational grain merchants have achieved absolute control over upstream raw materials, futures, midstream production and processing, brands, and downstream market channels and supplies.

These multinational grain merchants have strategically collaborated with American biotechnology companies to monopolize all aspects of supply channels for various grains around the world.

From soybeans to oil, from oil to bean dregs, from finished grains to grain seeds.

Relying on price and technology and under the pressure of capital, countries led by the United States have a monopoly on the food that people must consume.

Low grain prices hurt farmers.

If farmers can't make any money or even lose money every year from farming, will they continue farming?

of course not.

Due to the cost of planting and the pressure on prices and output, the grain planting areas in many countries around the world have been completely destroyed.

Instead, there are tall buildings.

Relying on government subsidies and ultra-high production, U.S. agricultural products are exported to any country in the world.

Not only that, but even food seeds from many countries have been choked by major U.S. biotech companies.

The great country of China is no exception.

More than 95% of soybeans, corn distillers grains, rapeseed cakes, oils and fats are imported every year.

Even the staple foods of wheat and rice, on which people depend for survival, are stuck in people's throats.

Kissinger once said: Whoever controls food controls mankind!

Sadly, when the United States will also achieve a global monopoly on food seeds, many people expressed their approval.

genetically modified.

A high-tech biotechnology.

Through the transformation of biological genes, genetically modified crops reduce pests and diseases and increase resistance to natural disasters...

The benefits are numerous.

But the seeds used to produce genetically modified crops can only be reproduced for one generation.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible for farmers who have bought genetically modified seeds to select some of the harvested crops as seeds.

From ancient times to the present, farmers have been able to select part of the harvested crops as seeds.

When all food becomes genetically modified, the original seeds will disappear completely.

Economy is the driving force behind everything.

Suppress market prices through the form of capital, use the economy to destroy each other's crops, and expand production scale to achieve the purpose of monopoly.

Before Ye Tan finished speaking, Zhao Jiangchuan already knew what kind of war Hong Xiaodou was.

This is very similar to the subsequent soybean extermination war.
