The rise of nanometers

The cloud inspection platform of Time Blog urgently released a research report on June 3.

[...Fengmin Agriculture has experienced severe swine fever outbreaks in 15 pig farms in Australia, Samba, Luzon and other places. After preliminary investigation, it was found that the swine fever virus originated from feed. Our company has initiated a notification to the relevant feed suppliers. Compensation lawsuit, the brand of the feed supplier in question is as follows:...]

Most of the series of feed suppliers are subsidiaries of ABCD.

Thanks to the Chaoxin platform and Shiguang Blog, there are many foreign users. Suddenly, this bilingual version of the emergency research report was reposted on YouTube, Twitter and Fei Die. In an instant, the whole world knew that there was a problem with ABCD’s feed.

And many users who made purchases also cried for their fathers and mothers on the Internet.

For example, in the Iberian black pig breeding area, more than a quarter of the pig farms have been affected, and the remaining pig farms are also in danger.

Faced with the sudden attack on Fengmin Agriculture, ABCD was also caught off guard. Breeding companies that purchased large amounts of feed came directly to the company and demanded ABCD compensate them for their losses.

Immediately afterwards, various parts of the world began to strictly investigate the feed problem.

As more and more investigation reports come out, the existence of swine fever virus in ABCD feed has basically been confirmed.

In an instant, except for the unlisted Cargill, the share prices of the other three companies in ABCD fell one after another. In less than three days, about one-third of their market value was evaporated.

Faced with pressure from feed buyers and distributors, as well as the growing public opinion, ABCD had to admit the matter and gave a very rough investigation report, explaining that their feed products, due to unknown reasons, were damaged during processing. contaminated.

The specific solution is to recall these feed products and compensate customers for part of their losses.

However, many breeding companies that have suffered heavy losses are very dissatisfied with ABCD's compensation plan because the amount of compensation is too small, with an average compensation of only 37 yuan per pig.

For a pig worth more than 300 meters a head, many large-scale breeding companies basically lose money.

Many pig-raising companies with a single industrial chain have gone into shock. If they cannot contain the wildly spreading swine fever outbreak, these companies will have no choice but to file for bankruptcy.

In this emergency, the only areas that can stay out of the incident are those that do not use ABCD feed.

For example, China has initially achieved self-sufficiency in feed, Mobei can export feed, Danish Crown Company uses wheat for feeding, and retail investors who are so backward that they have no money to import feed.

As ABCD was forced to recall all feed products, the prices of those pig feed brands without problems soared by 70 to 80% in less than two days.

Global pig feed prices have soared, causing global pork costs to rise, which in turn drove up the prices of beef, mutton and chicken.

Domestically, Yu Qing, the rotating chairman of the Grain Alliance and vice president of COFCO, held an emergency press conference on behalf of the Grain Alliance.

COFCO’s Beiping headquarters.

News media at home and abroad sent reporters to participate in this press conference.

Yu Qing looked very serious on the surface, but actually he was smiling in his heart. He said seriously:

"Everyone, we deeply sympathize with the pig feed incident in North America. We also hope that Adami, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus will do a good job in investigating and give an explanation to their global counterparts."

The AFP reporter raised his hand, and Yu Qing raised his hand to signal the other party to ask a question. The reporter picked up the microphone and asked: "Chairman Yu, may I ask the specific launch time of your swine fever vaccine?"

"The vaccine is expected to be available in October this year."

Next came a female reporter from the BBC. When she opened her mouth, it was a language trap: "Chairman Yu, may I ask why your vaccine testing time is so consistent with the time of this swine fever outbreak?"

Yu Qing said angrily without changing his expression: "Is this journalist friend doubting us? The manufacturer of pig feed is ABCD. We can't reach North America. The vaccine testing time is just a coincidence. This project was launched in 2010 It’s begun. Please don’t talk nonsense here and accuse people of their innocence out of thin air.”

Faced with such a coincidental situation, it's no wonder that these Onmyojis are suspicious, because they have done this kind of thing before, so they will naturally take on the role.

Next is the domestic media.

A reporter from the Global Times stood up and asked: "Chairman Yu, are there also pig feeds with North American problems in domestic feeds?"

"In this regard, we are conducting joint investigations with various departments. Currently, only three batches of pig feed have been found in Yihai. Due to the use of imported corn raw materials from North America, there is a risk of swine fever. Other domestic feeds and imported feeds from Mobei , are all safe.”

Many viewers watching the live broadcast felt relieved after hearing about the situation in the country.

The Food Alliance announced the inventory of local feed raw materials and finished feed, as well as the feed production scale in Mobei, as well as the vaccine launch time.

Under these measures, the domestic pork supply will be very stable, and at most the price of some imported meat will increase. However, due to the impact of the appreciation of the Chinese dollar, the price will not actually increase much.

Moreover, the Mobei region has become the third largest meat product importing region in the country this year. It is estimated that around 2015, Mobei and Central Asia will replace Australia and the United States and become the first and second largest meat product importing regions in the country.

It is difficult for the international price increase of meat products to have a serious impact on the country.

As the Grain Alliance's press conference ended, the domestic audience became a melon-eating crowd, and there were many gossips that spread rapidly on the Internet.

For example, "There are many biochemical laboratories in North America", "ABCD conspiracy", "GMO corn is risky" and so on.

All kinds of black materials were unearthed, pushing ABCD to the forefront. The appalling stock price caused heavy losses to those investors.

This time, ABCD was caught off guard. Although it was confirmed that there was a problem with the feed, they were still investigating the specific situation.

The investigation team in Mississippi conducted a comprehensive investigation from the feed production factory, raw materials, processing, transportation and personnel.

Angry and angry, ABCD tried its best to investigate the matter. Soon the investigation team led by Alexander discovered the source of contamination of the problematic feed.

"You detected the genes of two ticks in the contaminated feed?" Alexander frowned.

The expert in charge of the testing nodded: "Yes, we checked 200 contaminated feed samples. In addition to the genetic sequence of swine fever virus, there are also a small amount of gene residue fragments of Ornithodoros leatherback ticks and Ornithodoros terrestrial ticks."

Alexander naturally knew that these two ticks were one of the sources of swine fever infection.

The question is, ticks usually live on livestock, so how can they appear on corn?

He read the analysis of the investigation report and found that corn, the raw material for contaminated feed, was mainly produced in Mississippi and Arkansas.

The Adam expert on the side was also very suspicious of something fishy. After all, ticks rarely exist on corn unless they are artificially put into the corn.

Everyone was horrified to think about it. Although the management of ABCD had already guessed something, there was no real evidence for this kind of thing, and it was of no use to talk about it.

They investigated various possible scenarios, but found no evidence. It seemed that the ticks had entered the corn on their own initiative.

Faced with this kind of frustration, ABCD's management was so depressed that they almost vomited blood.
