Chapter 780 Full Moon Wine, Twenty-one Jumps
"Brescia sugar" is a special noun, and its output basically determines the direction of the global white sugar market.

Therefore, the major powers are cooperating on weather forecasts for Brescia.

China is naturally among them.

Rain, typhoons, drought, El Niño, etc. will all affect Brescia's sugar production.

But generally speaking, this is America's backyard.

It is literally a back garden.

The reason why Louis Dreyfus is so influential is that it has an overseas province, Guyana, which allows it to directly participate in political, economic and trade activities in Latin America.

In fact, the right to speak is in the hands of the two giants, Cargill and Bunge. The American Sugar Association can easily interfere with the total sugarcane production in the central and southern regions of Brescia.

Of course, "Edmund" and "Louis Dreyfus" also have power, but "Cargill" and "Bunge" are still more deterrent.

There are relatively complex historical causes for this, but generally speaking it is related to the "oil-dollar". Latin American countries joined the dollar system decades ago because this system brought dividends. At that time, the streets of Brooklyn Aires were still relatively prosperous.

But as Washington introduced monetary policy and raised interest rates, U.S. dollars directly flowed back to Latin America, causing a very typical debt crisis.

Then the country opened its doors...

Various debt restructuring and economic policies can be summed up in one word: sell.

So in the most extreme case, the lower class in Brescia only owned less than 3% of the land, which is about the same level as eighty years ago.

Of course, land reform policies were tried sixty years ago, but all the Brescian leaders who intended to do so died.

Without exception.

The current President of Brescia, Lula, is one of the few who can perform similar operations on the stage and still survive for more than five years.

However, he had already faced death when he was young, so it is difficult to say what his current mental state is.

"SF Group" was an unfamiliar term to Lula at that time, but he had always been paying attention to "Lotus Airlines".

Because Lula has been promoting his country's aircraft manufacturing industry, any airline with strength and potential is a potential high-quality customer.

Lula's understanding of "Lotus Airlines" made him know "Dear Mr. Siegel". This "great man" has a certain degree of activity in the diplomatic systems of many governments, so Lula knows very well that the friendship of this "great man" is worth fighting for.

So he asked someone to send an invitation letter to the Macau Special Administrative Region Government, an invitation to visit Rio de Janeiro, hoping that "Dear Mr. Siegel" could come to Brescia to see the local regional aircraft.

The samba dance performed by the flight attendants was also very good.

Worth appreciating.

As a result, the Macau SAR government gave a reply saying that "Dear Mr. Siegel" was too busy and had no time.

There is some cooperation between the two sides. When Lotus Airlines was first established, it purchased a second-hand Brescia regional aircraft to be deployed between island airports in Southeast Asia.

So Lula still maintains great expectations. After all, that is China, a supermarket with a population of more than one billion. Selling five planes a year is not too much.

Based on this fantasy, he was quite shocked when he heard that the owner of "Lotus Airlines" was also the owner of "SF Group".

It was the people from Louis Dreyfus who told him all this.

Therefore, when faced with a sugarcane planting contract, Lula still lamented that there are indeed great differences between people.

Even with 15% of the production capacity taken away, there is no financial pressure at all.

The "SF Group" did not take over second-hand goods from "Louis Dreyfus", but snatched a large amount of land from the Japanese last year.

Last year, the Brescia stock market plummeted by 60%. Boss Zhang made a small profit, but "Siegel Investment" did not stand out because it was, after all, a small business.

No need.

This year, Louis Dreyfus is determined to plant its flag in Beijing, so the benefits it offers are very generous. It can be said that the industrial capital of China and Frank have joined forces to eliminate the financial capital of Japan.

There is a difference here. The Japanese purchased a large amount of permanent property rights in Brescia, but there was not much added value. It was actually a financial instrument.

Land that produces no physical output but only rent and interest is obviously not a good thing.

Therefore, with the help of Louis Dreyfus, the three parties hit it off. The SF Group acquired some arable land and pastures in the southern region, which it originally intended to transform into sugarcane plantations, but the Lula government hoped to have a good talk with "Dear Mr. Siegel."

He needs arable land, land to grow food.

The entire Brescia has about 3 billion acres of arable land, but the population is only maintained at 200 million. Not counting the "healthy people" who are suffering from food shortages, the population directly facing "famine" and "semi-famine" is about 38 million.

Unlike the population distribution in the country, the poorest people in Brescia are all "city people", crammed into densely packed slums of all sizes.

The technical cooperation with China includes slum renovation, and in order to save money, the material chosen was bamboo, which is native to China.

Lula knows that the Chinese are not the perverted rich people from developed countries with bad tastes, and they are not trying to pose for photos of benevolence and condescension, so the cooperation has been smooth on many levels. The only problem is... environmental protection.

Yes, when the Brescia government wanted to improve the basic living environment in the slums, environmental protection organizations jumped out.

While Chinese technical workers felt this was absurd, they could only pick up "Jin Zhao"'s article "Imperialism Has Never Left" and read it again.

It was probably due to various internationalist sentiments and of course the concessions made by Louis Dreyfus, so the business promotion of SF Group in Brescia was very smooth.

Even Bunge and Cargill did not object, because they were the ones who pushed Brescia to destroy grain and grow sugarcane.

It’s none of their business if the lower classes of the local country are starving or even dying. The prices of sugarcane and white sugar are still bullish.

So when they heard that Louis Dreyfus and SF Group were also growing sugarcane, the two giants directly asked the American Sugar Association to increase Brescia's white sugar quota.

Therefore, "Brescia Sugar" is very popular in the futures market now. The "national team" knows this. After all, from the fight between two companies in Southeast Asia last year, to the subsequent melee among three companies, to the end of the first quarter of this year, everything has been discussed.

But I didn't expect that Boss Zhang didn't care about the international sugar price at all. Anyway, the cost of sugar production in Lingxi Province was higher than the international cost. Except for overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia who were willing to be agent traders, theoretically there was no international competitiveness.

After all, local white sugar is mainly consumed by our own people.

Boss Zhang got some sugarcane from Brescia, and the central government was overjoyed. It was almost 1.2 times the country's total production capacity.

In other words, by exchanging interests with the Franks, the total national output was directly increased.

Boss Zhang has losses and gains, but his main purpose has nothing to do with gains or losses.

He just wanted to kill the local sugar-making boss in Lingxi Province.

Let them chew the sugarcane by themselves and don’t even think about selling a single grain of sugar at a high price.

The killer move was laid in ambush until May, just to wait for the first batch of sugarcane to be harvested and then directly collapse the capital chain.

In fact, the rehearsal has already begun, and sugar companies in many counties and cities in Lingxi Province have discovered something wrong.

The order fulfillment rate in the first quarter and even in the fourth quarter of last year was extremely low. It is no problem to live off the capital until November, but this is not a question of living off the capital.

November is the last sugarcane harvest and these are the costs.

If it were just a matter of profit and loss for the company, it would be fine, but the key is the little money that the "sugarcane farmers" have.

Last year, a local government was already attacked. If they escalate the situation this year, it would be terrifying.

Boss Zhang certainly had no intention of disrupting the local economy, so when he killed those local bullies in Lingxi, he had already communicated with the Ministry of Commerce.

At the same time, the former National Planning Commission of Lingnan and Yangcheng had communicated, and there was a two-way agreement on investment and business attraction between Lingnan and Lingxi provinces.

The agreement itself is actually an economic boost plan that involves issues such as labor employment, and it is still a general regulation at the government level.

If local leading enterprises or key enterprises collapse, the transition can be achieved through government-level trusteeship.

Therefore, the economic account is not something that needs to be emphasized; social stability is the most important thing.

In other words, if a county-level city is engaged in sugar business, then the major taxpayer must be a sugar enterprise, company, or processing plant. If the capitalist is unable to make ends meet and wants to jump off the building, and the creditors go and hack the capitalist's entire family to death, then that is the court's business and they will sentence him accordingly.

The company can be taken over by someone else, through acquisition, merger or investment... whatever you want.

The situation at this time is nothing more than the new entrants playing the role of the second generation of the previous top investors.

Although he is silent, Zhang Haonan actually controls the largest sugar processing factory in the country, including those in the form of "Suzhou Industrial Park", "Daqiao Food", and village-run factories in the form of "Rural Supply and Marketing Cooperatives".

So it is not impossible for Boss Zhang to brag that he is the "Sugar King". And the one who helps Boss Zhang brag about the value of this "Sugar King" is not a specific independent director or investment institution, but Yangcheng State-owned Assets Company, Lingnan Province Investment Company, Leizhou State-owned Assets Company, Suzhou State-owned Assets...

What Boss Zhang provides is the platform, channels and sales market. The local government only needs to consider the distribution issues at the grassroots level.

Based on this basic fact, as far as this business is concerned, the more aggressive the "local tyrants" become, the more it reflects one reality: there is a problem with the distribution.

The entire struggle is very complicated, involving multinational corporations and multinational corporations, central finance and local finance, local tyrants and foreign tyrants, local industrial capital and national industrial capital, enterprise capital and labor, local distributors and international distributors...

In addition to all these, there are also international political games, but these are all additional additions that were thrown together by accident.

Precisely because of the unprecedented complexity and extremely high importance, representatives from three companies followed all the way from Beijing to Ice City like followers.

In addition to the distribution of interests, such as the establishment of a business unit by CDB in Latin America and its involvement in infrastructure financing in local countries through the international trade of "Brescia Sugar", these are not just economic accounts, but also organizational expansion at the ministerial level.

For the past six months, Boss Zhang only needed to play with women, but when it comes to government departments, central enterprises, state-owned enterprises and other units, there are many more things to consider... so many!
The clever local tyrants in Lingxi had already thrown in the towel and admitted defeat, and entrusted their old contacts, old leaders and even their father's old subordinates at COFCO to negotiate surrender.

The best result is to surrender and lose half, but retain a certain share, a few percent is enough; the average result is to break even and take the money and leave; the worse result is to become a "frequent flyer" and move to a bigger city, such as Guangzhou; the worst result is that a native local tyrant will have his entire family killed by another group of native creditors.

Of course these are smart.

There are also those who are not smart, who are more direct.

For example, they took away the money of the "sugarcane farmers" directly...

So when the representatives of the three companies arrived in Bingcheng, Lingnan Province also dispatched armed police to Lingxi.

just in case.

News spreads and circulates little by little.

When Zhang Haonan invited Feng Jun and others to have barbecue in Bingcheng, the Leizhou Municipal Government also welcomed a large number of visitors, all of whom hoped that "Er Zhou" would help them to do them a favor.

Zhou Chuji was puffing smoke in the office. He felt a little melancholy because the people who came today were all more humble than ever before.

They all come from prominent families. Some are descendants of generals who have suppressed rebellions, while others are sons of meritorious officials who went south to support construction. Each one of them is better than a country bumpkin like him.

In the past, when he visited Lingxi Province, no one would pay any attention to him.

Before the smuggling case broke out, all the resort hotels in Leizhou were their private property. All of them were either Hong Kong bosses or overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia.

just now……

Bang! !

There was a loud bang.

"Boss Luo jumped off the building——"

There is a sugar trader in Lingxi Province who specializes in receiving and processing materials. Not only have his orders died, but there are also a lot of external orders that have been cancelled. The news about "Brescia sugar" has a general impact, but the international sugar price has risen and he cannot sell his goods. This is a big bomb!

Some people who specialize in "making money out of nothing" usually deal with large amounts of capital and high turnover, so there is a lot of usury among the people.

The invisible leverage is incredibly high, but some people who engage in capital operations can easily continue to play by going to Bao'an or even Songjiang for listing.

These are either partners with the second generation of local powerful forces, or they are white gloves.

Those who cannot resist are often the local bosses who have made a name for themselves by being daring.

This group of people will die first.

Then the death of the first will lead to the death of the next, because this is a chain reaction. Some usury is the underground "shadow banking" of the second generation.

If the principal of the "shadow banking" is blown up, then the funds outside that are twenty or even fifty times the amount may also be directly blown up. In addition, there is the local hot money that flocks around this young master and that young master. Which one of them is not a clan member?
I usually buy into your business, but now you're spending all your money on your coffin. Who can bear this?
So when a boss named Luo from Lingxi Province chose to jump off a building in Leizhou, Zhou Chuji was not panicked but rather calm.

I went to Chen's house that night and invited Mr. Zhang Haodong, the son-in-law of the Chen family, to have dinner with me. It was an ordinary meal with chicken, fish and kale. Everything was good.

"Mr. Zhang, if a group of people appears..."

"Nothing unexpected."

While eating skewers, Zhang Haonan said calmly, "How many sugar factories and sugar companies go bankrupt will be absorbed by the 'Liangjiang Industrial Park'. My teacher, Deputy Mayor Liu Chen, will follow up on this matter. As for the hard-earned money of rural 'sugarcane farmers', let alone the bad debts of three years in arrears, five, eight, and ten years in arrears is a problem for others, and it is indeed a problem for some county governments in Lingxi Province, but is it a problem for me?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Feng Jun, who had drunk a little beer, warned, "If we continue like this, many people will die. The commotion caused by the broken capital chain will be no less serious than that of a smuggling case."

"It's just a few hundred billion, what's the big deal?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Well, we are superficial.

The three major smuggling cases had a starting value of 30 billion, which is quite a lot.

But it’s just a lot.

Boss Zhang’s way of playing is completely on the same level as these local “local tyrants”. He just hooked his finger and ran over them directly.

In fact, Zhang Haonan himself has no idea who is causing trouble for the local "Suzhou Industrial Park", Zhang Zhiqin, Zhang Haodong, the Leizhou Municipal Government, the Yangcheng State-owned Assets Company...

He just knew that the employees of Shazhou Logistics had been wronged.

That's all.

He did not issue any directive documents, including for the sugarcane farmers from Lingxi Province who wanted to bring their families to work in the canneries or orchards in Leizhou.

It has always been treated coldly.

Then take it away in one wave.

Although he himself had no interest in watching the "flying man", Zhang Haodong and Zhang Zhiqin were very interested in taking the beaten attendant and driver to Lingxi to watch the fun.

These days, people are threatening to jump off buildings everywhere, and it’s been quite a commotion.

Some of the "sugarcane farmers" were familiar with the place and took these perverts from other places to watch the "flying man".

The development of the situation caused a sensation in the underground financial market of Lingxi Province. Even if the top leaders of Lingxi Province wanted to suppress it, they simply couldn't.

Either the boss of a sugar factory drank pesticides, or the middleman jumped off a building, or even worse, some second-generation rich kids suddenly died in an entertainment club...

As if the virus was spreading from person to person, the day after the representatives of the three companies arrived in Ice City, not counting the one jump of Mr. Luo in Leizhou, the sugar industry in Lingxi Province had experienced six consecutive jumps.

“Eleven consecutive jumps” on May 8th.

May 9th "Sixteen Consecutive Jumps".

On May 10th, Zhang Haonan returned to Shacheng to hold a "full moon banquet" for his six little ones. His cousin who had become rich first performed a "twenty-one consecutive jumps" to liven up the atmosphere.

This incident did not cause a sensation nationwide, because the case was confined to a certain county or township. To the locals, it was just a boss who committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Only the police system has a summary of the specific number of cases. The media does not track statistics and therefore knows nothing about it.

however!
A handsome guy from Lingxi Province in the "Panda Continent" is a student at Lingxi Yongzhou Normal University. He complained a little from the perspective of a "sugarcane farmer's" child, and then changed the subject and directly counted the "twenty-one consecutive jumps".

This guy is quite hands-on. He collected the provincial newspapers from the past few days and found the connection...

It’s a pity that he didn’t know that it was “Brother Haonan” who caused all this, otherwise he would have shouted “Brother Haonan is awesome”.

On the day of the "full moon wine party", because of the seriousness of the "Twenty-one Consecutive Jumps", people including people from the State Council came to Zhang Haonan to drink the "full moon wine party".

I don’t mean anything else, I just wish the children in Comrade Zhang Haonan’s family good health.
