Several major grain suppliers in South Africa have now arrived at the headquarters of Changtian Technology.
Wang Xiang is responsible for negotiations.
Originally, these grain merchants were dismissive of Changtian Technology's energy blocks and the meat produced using cell totipotency. They thought such things were deceptive, so they did not visit with the small and medium-sized grain merchants.
But as things progressed, they felt something was wrong.
The small grain merchants who used to be obedient and cautious to them now dare to say a few harsh words to them.
A little research into the stores of small grain merchants will tell you why.
They were stunned and annoyed that they had missed out on a large project worth hundreds of millions, so they immediately came to negotiate with Wang Xiang.
"Dear Mr. Wang, I want to get the goods, but I don't know what the wholesale price is here." Majoya asked everyone's questions with a big belly.
Machoya is one of the largest grain suppliers in the Horston area. It mainly sells flour, corn, cassava, grain and oil, and has good cooperation with the Chinese.
"The price, it's easy to say, is similar to other collaborators. If you buy more, I'll make it cheaper."
"But! You are not allowed to increase prices arbitrarily. At most, the price will be increased by 20% based on sales. The purpose of Changtian Technology is to make everyone affordable. If you can't do that, then there will be no cooperation." Wang Xiang is serious. He said that Chen Xiao had emphasized that he did not dare to be careless.
Originally, the cost of these things was ridiculously low. Energy blocks cost 5 cents per kilogram, synthetic chicken cost 2 cents per kilogram, fish cost 1 cent, and beef cost 4 cents.
Selling to these foreign devils has already made dozens of times the profit.
Therefore, there is no need to plunder the poor people too much, Chen Xiao can also gain influence by the way, achieving multiple things with one stone.
And a very important question.
Food is a consumable product.
It’s not that if you buy it today, you won’t need it tomorrow.
It is eaten and consumed every day.
In other words, Changtian Technology can completely monopolize the itinerary here, do business in the long term, and make long-term profits.
Moreover, the purpose of Soto Food Company is not to make money, but to nail the global trade chain like a wedge.
Ma Qiaoya made an immediate decision: "I want half of it. My company is the largest in South Africa, with the most outlets and the fastest ability to digest goods!"
According to Wang Xiang's algorithm, his profit is at most 40% and at least 20%, while the profit in the grain industry is only 5% at most.
"No, no, no, dear Machoya, your share is less than half of the market share. This is not good." John objected immediately. As the second largest grain merchant in South Africa, he was also tough.
"That's right! That's right! With such a low price, anyone can sell it easily. If Changtian Technology gives me all the goods, our company will soon be bigger than Machoya's company!"
Several other big grain merchants retorted together, looking like they would join forces to fight a business war. Machoya did not dare to underestimate them.
The quarrel in the office turned into a pot of porridge. Wang Xiang was not anxious at all. He agreed to them too easily but cherished the opportunity? After a while, Wang Xiang smiled and took out the prepared contract and sent it to them, and the grain merchants calmed down.
They also came to their senses at this time. It was Wang Xiang who always had the decision-making power. What was the use of arguing? Several major grain merchants looked at the contract. It was a standard formatted contract. It was obvious that Changtian Technology had prepared it for a long time. It was the same for everyone, but some details were different. Everyone's share had been stipulated above.
"Then after we sign the contract, can we still cooperate with companies like ABCD?" Majoya is a little unsure. The list of Changtian Technology is quite small now. What if Changtian Technology does not allow other cooperation? He didn't want to offend ABCD, but he had to bear the pressure from the other side in the process. This pressure was not only economic, but also political.
The so-called ABCD are the four major grain merchants in the world. The first three are from the United States, ADM, Bunge, and Cargill, and the last one is Duff of France. Each company has the ability to stir up the world grain market. Big grain merchants I have to worry about the reaction here.
But unexpectedly, Wang Xiang waved his hand casually: "It's irrelevant. We are not afraid of competition, but you should be careful about what you get."
After being stunned for two seconds, Machoya quickly signed, and other grain merchants also signed immediately. Machoya was even more surprised. He had already taken out the check, wrote the amount, and handed it to Wang Xiang: "Any extra money will be treated as an advance payment."
Wang Xiang glanced at it and stepped back: "We only accept RMB..."
South African Rand…
This currency exchange rate is a rollercoaster!
Maybe when the time comes, the grain will be sold and the harvest will be a pile of waste paper.
So it needs to be settled in RMB.
Changtian Technology is an enterprise owned by Xia State. Only by relying on a strong structure can the enterprise go global.
Using RMB for settlement, especially in the food field, can not only increase the country's influence, but most importantly, it can establish a voice in the food field.
In less than five seconds, one hundred tons of energy blocks and one hundred tons of meat were bought by these grain merchants. It was not that the grain merchants had no money. The money they paid on the spot could buy a thousand tons of goods, but Changtian Technology's If the output cannot keep up, then there is nothing we can do.
…
South Africa was a very prosperous region before the 1990s. The world's first heart transplant was successfully performed in South Africa. At that time, South Africa had also developed nuclear weapons, and the entire country was strong and wealthy.
But as Mandela was pushed to the forefront of history, the whole country began to fall into chaos. The original elite white people were replaced by black people. Those people were unable to do anything, so they only knew how to steal white people's things, jobs, and land. There is always money in the bank that can be taken.
In just a few years, South Africa has gone from being the only developed country in Africa to one of the most dangerous and poorest places in the world.
Under such an environment, the capable white people left directly, while the incompetent white people could only continue to suffer in South Africa.
Richardson is a classic example.
His father was robbed of an important financial position by a black man, causing the family to fall into ruin.
When it came to him, he was robbed of his computer technology position by black people. Now he can only make a living by picking up garbage. The children at home were born when he was still working. At that time, he thought society would get better... but he didn't expect it. This is what it is now.
The three children in the Richardson family, the youngest is three years old, and the oldest is only twelve years old. None of them go to school. They pick up scraps together or steal food with the older children. But the society is so poor, who can Is there enough food at home? So the family basically never had enough to eat.
"How come you only have so little money! It's just a loaf of bread!" Richardson muttered after selling scraps. He didn't dare to speak loudly. The man who opened the scrapyard was a black man. If he spoke rudely, he would be beaten and even beaten. Take the money.
Even if the price of scrap products is so severely reduced, he can only console himself that he is lucky to still have a piece of bread, and everyone can at least put some food on the table.
When he came to the cheap food store where he used to buy bread, he took a look at the price and immediately frowned: "Why has the price increased again?"
The black salesperson looked at him with contempt and said, "What do you know? The price of flour from the upstream company (ADM) has increased. Isn't it normal for bread to be more expensive? Poor guy, if you can't afford it, don't buy it!"
As he spoke, he picked up the piece of bread and ate it in a demonstrative manner. It was the last piece of cheap bread, and Richardson couldn't afford the rest of the food in the store.
He had no choice but to return to his residence in despair. The residence was made of rotten wooden boards and broken iron sheets. It was leaking air, rain, snow, and was infested with snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It really couldn't be called a residence, it could only be called a box.
"Dad is back!" The youngest son heard the movement at the door and rushed over. The other two children also gathered around. Unfortunately, Richardson didn't have any food in his hand.
"It's okay, Dad, I just ate some fruit outside." The eldest son immediately understood the situation and offered comfort.
The second son became depressed. The younger son was too young and didn’t understand yet. He would cry when he was hungry: “Dad, I’m so hungry!”
"Stop shouting, Dad is hungry too. Let's go, I'll take you to find something to eat." The eldest son picked up his two younger brothers and headed to a nearby street.
Richardson has not said a word since he entered the house. He is speechless with pain, anger, and self-blame. He knows where the children go. He watches the children rummaging through the trash cans on the street looking for food. , the heart is cut like a knife.
Suddenly, Richardson touched his face and rushed over to dig through the trash can.
Even though life has reached this point, he still has the responsibility of being a father. There isn’t much I can do, but at least I have to give the food I find in the trash can to the children first!
After looking through several trash cans, he found nothing. When he looked through another one, he found a package from "John's Food Store", which is the second largest food chain brand in South Africa. Normally, he would not look at it at all. Can't afford it at all.
But he was engaged in computer technology and was naturally sensitive to digital codes, so he glanced at the price and was stunned.
"Huh? One kilogram of energy blocks only costs 1.3 South African Rand (about 5 cents when converted into RMB)?"
Richardson was a little distracted. He subconsciously thought that the energy block was fuel and was lit for heating. However, he realized after seeing the food code that this thing was definitely food, maybe a hodgepodge of various food ingredients mixed together.
But that's not important at all. What's important is that the bread here costs 20 to 30 yuan a piece. Now it's only 50 cents per kilogram. It's a great deal.
"Let's go! Let's go to John's Food Store quickly. If we go late, there won't be any specials like this!" Richard picked up the child and rushed to the food store quickly.
Before I got there, I found that John's Food Store was surrounded by people. The clerk was sweating profusely and shouted with a loudspeaker:
"Everyone, please stop arguing. The purchase limit is one kilogram per person! Don't buy too much. If you eat too many nutrients and calories, you will die!"
The purpose of saying this is of course to stop everyone from panic buying.
Unless he bloated to death, how could he die from eating food?
After pushing the person away forcefully, the clerk yelled: "There's more! There's more! The price of the energy block is 1.3 South African Rand. It's not a special price. You can also check out other meats... Don't squeeze in!" Pay the money here. If we find out that we have hoarded goods and purchased them multiple times, we will never sell them to you in the future and will be blacklisted! The supply of goods will not be cut off! This is Changtian Technology's stuff. If you don't believe in our company, you have to believe it. Changtian Technology!”
The clerk scolded and pushed him, but he finally stabilized the situation. His voice was hoarse. The team here can only be stable for ten minutes at most, and then it has to be maintained for another time.
At this time, the store manager was sweating profusely and squeezed over and said to the clerk: "If it doesn't work, let them go to Machoya's food store." The clerk looked at the store manager in shock. How could this store manager be so confused as to give it to his competitors? Send customers?
"Didn't you see that the door is broken?" The store manager smiled bitterly and pointed to the door made of African rosewood, which was severely deformed.
When the clerk complied, someone in the crowd shouted: "Stop shouting, we won't leave. I came from the Machoya Food Store. There are more people there. Some people have already had their yolks squeezed out and given away." Gone to the hospital!"
"Ah, I've seen someone whose intestines were squeezed out..."
"There is another one who is trying to get pregnant..."
Amid the raging crowds, these large grain companies in South Africa had to send out their internal administrative staff to maintain order. The bosses are not stupid. They understand that Changtian Technology's products have really made a name for themselves, and they must maintain their customer base now. .
Richardson finally bought energy bars with a bruise on his face. After all, he was highly educated, although many people on the roadside were already unpacking and eating energy bars.
But for the safety of his children, he still read the instructions and was surprised to find that this thing can be eaten directly, and can even be used to replace fuels such as alcohol, gasoline, etc. This way, the whole family does not have to go hungry or freeze!
This time, Richardson was no longer worried. He called his children and had a delicious meal. So delicious! The aroma was so fragrant that Richardson swore he had never tasted anything so good in his life.
What’s even better is that the energy blocks are absorbed quickly and provide a strong feeling of satiety, so the whole family can still eat most of the food!
The energy block clearly warns consumers to consume it in the right amount for fear of overstuffing them to death. Richardson complied with the instructions, but some people still didn't follow the instructions and wanted to eat more. In the end, they were really overstuffed.
Not only did this kind of thing not become a stain on Changtian Technology, but it became excellent publicity. A kilogram of food worth 50 cents can actually eat enough to kill a person. What does this mean to the poor people in South Africa? It means they no longer have to worry about hunger. However, Changtian Technology disdains eating this kind of human blood steamed buns, which is the conclusion reached by the South African people themselves.
Since then, Changtian Technology's image has become even more glorious, and Chen Xiao has gained a lot of reputation, not to mention Duozi.
However, energy is conserved. Some people are happy and others are worried. Smiling faces always transfer from one group of people's faces to another group of people's faces. Now ABCD's executives in South Africa are looking sad and don't know what to do.
Some people don’t understand why food is more expensive in poorer places. It’s because people in such places have no other thoughts except survival, so food can be sold at high prices without restraint.
ABCD is doing evil in South Africa, while Changtian Technology is producing good results and making a lot of money. This makes ABCD's grain dealers in South Africa resentful.
"Everyone, don't think that our colleagues are enemies. We have a common enemy! If we can't think of a way, we will eventually be kicked out of South Africa. No, we will even be kicked out of this industry!"
The acting CEOs of the world's four largest grain merchants in South Africa gathered together for a rare executive meeting. This was the first time in history that a meeting was held at the vice president level.
They were competitors before.
Of course, the one who spoke was the vice president of ADM. As the boss, he always had to say the first thing.
The other vice presidents of the grain merchants complained one after another: "What can we do? Should we cut off the supply to those agents? I guess they want it!"
"But are you sure that one kilogram of food is less than R2? How is that possible! Cost! The cost of food is more than that!"
"It's absolutely true! We have investigated it and it is indeed this price."
"Behind Soto Food Company is Changtian Technology, which is the technology of Changtian Technology. etc."
"How about we steal Changtian Technology's technology and do it ourselves!"
"Come on, when did Changtian Technology cover it up? Which of you doesn't have the raw materials for its production? Who understands the principle?"
The vice president of ADM rubbed his temples, his head was buzzing and hurting: "Stop talking nonsense, no matter what method it is, it must be solved quickly. Our food can no longer be sold. If it is later, it will become moldy and even the pigs will not be able to do it." Let’s go eat! If the big boss behind the company gets angry, he might let us go eat!”
"We are not pigs!"
"Who knows..."
"Shut up! Do you want to be beaten?"
