Vol 2 Chapter 588: 15-country food contract

A week later, the leaders of 15 "Weiyuan" system countries gathered in the Williams Royal Palace.

In the magnificent hall, Henry opened his mouth and said: "First of all, welcome everyone. This time, 15 of our countries that have joined the'Wei Yuan' system are gathered together, and the purpose is to solve the food problem!"

Henry looked around them and said indifferently: "The total population of 15 countries is four to five billion people, and more than half of them suffer from hunger. Although the Williams Empire can provide food, It’s not enough! Therefore, instead of importing food, it is better for everyone to be self-reliant and self-sufficient!"

The leader of the Democratic Republic of the Congo couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty Williams, the situation in our country, as you know, agriculture is developing slowly, and it is very difficult to be self-sufficient!"

"I know this, so the Williams Empire is willing to work with you to develop modern agriculture and increase food production!" Henry slowly said, "Good seeds can produce good crops! Monsanto must have heard of it. Well, it is the world’s largest and most technologically advanced genetically modified seed production company. According to the special conditions of African countries, Monsanto has developed four genetically modified crop seeds that are very suitable for planting in African countries, including sweet potatoes, soybeans, corn, Peanuts. If countries plant these four genetically modified seeds, the harvest will be two to three times that of the previous ones. At the same time, if Monsanto provides the countries with the "Golden La" agricultural fertilizer additives, it can further increase food production!" Henry Speaking of the subsequent spoofing, the San Diego Agriculture Group of the United States will not launch this "advanced technology to save the world's agriculture"-"Golden Keila" in 2007, so Henry used the name first.

Africa's agriculture is underdeveloped, so there must be gold!

Henry secretly smiled in his heart. The advertisement of "Jin Ke La" in the previous life was so ridiculous, it was like the thunder rolling in the sky, and Henry's stomach hurt when he saw it. However, this golden elbow is not the other golden elbow, it is completely genuine and fair. Moreover, Henry did not exaggerate and brag, only that he could increase food production!

At this time, Henry continued: "With genetically modified seeds and Jinke La fertilizer, the agriculture of various countries will definitely develop quickly! However, considering the economic difficulties of various countries, I propose a cooperation plan here! Seeds and Fertilizers can be given to farmers of various countries for free, but these farmers must sign an agreement, that is, during the contract period, one-third of the grain harvest will be owned by the Williams Empire! In fact, it is equivalent to the Williams Empire hiring these farmers Working on their own land, the annual salary is two-thirds of the grain!" Henry paused and smiled: "With this kind of cooperation, farmers don’t need to take any risks. The more grain they produce, they will also earn. more!"

An Ethiopian president raised his hand and asked, "Your Majesty Williams, how long is the contract period?" Monsanto is a well-known food seed giant in the industry. Therefore, everyone does not doubt the quality of Monsanto's products.

"10 years!" Henry said with ten fingers.

The 14 presidents looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.

"Is 10 years too long?"

"Yeah, I think it's too long!"

"..."

The President of Mozambique said to Henry at this time: "Your Majesty Williams, we all feel that 10 years is too long, and 5 years is more appropriate. After 5 years, we can consider the issue of renewal!"

Henry squinted his eyes and smiled. What are the plans of these people? Henry knew well that it was nothing more than the development of economy and agriculture in the future, and they wanted to own one-third of the harvest.

"Okay, no problem!" Henry answered readily. Even if the contract is not renewed in the future, seeds and fertilizers are always needed. Using Monsanto's genetically modified seeds and fertilizers, farmers will naturally be more inclined to Monsanto's products. These five years are actually equivalent to cultivating users.

In this place in Africa, there is little arable land, few plains, and no scale of farms. Most farms are allocated to each household. It would be too much trouble if Henry sent someone to buy these farmland. It would be very difficult to manage one piece of land to the east and one piece of land to the west. This kind of cooperation method proposed by Henry now saves worry and effort, and also promotes the product. And the higher the grain output, the higher the income of farmers, so the farmers' enthusiasm for work is also higher. One is working for others, and the other is working for yourself. Obviously, they are different. Of course, if the location is better and the farmland can be connected together to form a larger-scale farm, Henry will buy it and hire workers to produce it to provide food for the growing population of the Williams Empire in the future. After all, only five-year contracts are signed with farmers from various countries. The situation after five years is still unknown. Henry still has to buy some farms in African countries, and he is prepared.

Seeing Henry's promise so readily, the faces of the leaders of 14 countries showed smiles. For them, this kind of cooperation is sure to make a profit without losing money. For the Williams Empire, it is also making money, and everyone wins!

"Presidents, as for the signing of contracts with farmers, governments of all countries must tie in and cooperate!"

"No problem!" 14 people nodded one after another!

Henry laughed and said, "Well, we will sign the memorandum now, and then we will hold a press conference!"

"it is good!"

...

In the evening of the same day, the 15-nation press conference was jointly held. At the press conference, Henry announced the food cooperation plan of 15 countries, which caused an uproar.

The next day, global food prices plummeted in an instant.

The four major grain merchants were speechless. The four major grain merchants made a fortune because Henry sent a large amount of grain to Africa, which caused a global food shortage and soaring food prices. But now, Henry Williams wants to increase African food production and reduce food prices. How can he make money?

Food-deficit countries all over the world cheered for it. However, they may cheer a bit early.

While Africa's food production is increasing, the population of Africa is also skyrocketing! Therefore, even if food production is increased, it may not necessarily solve the global food crisis. Childbirth is very fierce in Africa. A woman will give birth to 4 children in her lifetime. It’s just that there are too many children to feed. There are millions of people who starve to death each year~www.readwn.com~ Take the Williams Empire as an example, the number of newborn babies in 2005 was 7.48 million. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Family Planning, it is estimated that in 2006, the number of babies born in the Williams Empire will even exceed 10 million! Currently, the resident population of the Williams Empire is as high as 983.1 billion, of which 45.63 million citizens have the citizenship of the Williams Empire, accounting for half of the total population. There are many migrant workers abroad, but it won’t take long for them to apply for Williams Empire citizenship, enjoy superb benefits here, and do not want to return to their own country. At the same time, they will also take their relatives over. This in turn increased the population of the Williams Empire.

The greater the population of the Williams Empire, the more children will be born. You know, the Williams Empire encourages childbirth, and Henry even plans to increase the population of the Empire to more than 500 million! This is the case for the Williams Empire, let alone other African countries. As far as Henry knows, the populations of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and Malawi, which were the first to join the “Weiyuan” system, are increasing rapidly. The populations of these 10 countries that join subsequently will surely increase dramatically.

If there is no such thing as a world war or a biochemical crisis, the population on the planet will only increase. However, with limited arable land and limited production, the food crisis still cannot be resolved. But, fortunately, Henry has already prepared for a rainy day, has an immigration plan, and is still actively studying the cultivation of space plants...
