Chapter 3890

The world's major producer, heavy rain. Global food production is in short supply. It is expected that there will be a food shortage this year《 The Wall Street Journal made a big front page headline.

With the report of the Wall Street Journal, the price of global grain futures soared. Rice, wheat and soybean all increased by more than 20%. In an instant, all the countries that introduced grain felt pressure.

According to the United Nations, there are 40 countries in global food shortage. Among them, there are 26 African countries (Angola, Burundi, Ethiopia, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Niger, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sultan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Tanzania, Tanzania, etc.), and 10 Asian countries (Afghanistan, Indonesia, Iraq, North Korea, Lebanon, Belgium, Nepal, Sri Lanka and East Timor), three Latin American countries (Colombia, Cuba, Haiti) and the Russian Republic of Chechnya.

This, of course, refers to food deficit countries. In other words, countries are heavily dependent on food imports. In addition, there are other developed countries such as Canada and Australia, which are big food importers because of their national composition.

The rise of food prices, no doubt, makes these economically underdeveloped food shortage countries feel heavy pressure. In recent years, the global grain has been in a state of bumper harvest, and the grain price has been at a low level. The cheap food is a relief to the economic pressure of these underdeveloped countries, especially in Africa. However, the sudden 20% increase in food prices will make these countries, which are not rich in economy, a little too much to bear.

Fortunately, this is only a report in the Wall Street Journal. Although the global rainstorm has a certain impact on food production, it is not likely to cause a serious reduction in production. As long as there is no serious production reduction and a slight increase, they can still bear it. It's a big deal. People in China should eat less. For these underdeveloped countries, especially African countries, it is perfectly normal that they are not fed enough. Therefore, it is acceptable not to increase too much.

I just hope that the weather will not continue to be bad and that the grain output of the world's major grain exporting countries will not be reduced on a large scale. Many food poor countries prayed silently.

"Lin, the food crisis is coming!" Abby Cohen called after seeing the Wall Street Journal report.

At the moment, Lin Feng has just returned to Shanghai.

"Oh, why?" Lin Feng secretly chuckles, and Abby Cohen finally notices. But even if Lin Feng understood it now, he could only pretend to be confused.

"Lin, did you read yesterday's report in the Wall Street Journal?" Abby Cohen said, "this report says that affected by the disastrous weather, global food production will be reduced this year. Affected by this report, the futures price of grain directly soared by 20%. "

"Well, it's true. I've read this report, but it's exaggerating to say that the food crisis is coming! After all, the relationship between the reduction of grain production and the food crisis is not equal! " Lin Feng's face is unbelievable. But in my stomach, I feel comfortable. With Abby Cohen's advice, it's fair to make money.

"Lin, after reading this report, through a friend, I got the latest global weather forecast analysis report, as well as the weather reports recorded in the past. I found that extreme bad weather may occur this year, which may lead to a serious reduction in grain production! For example, in your hometown of Chu City, I expect to reduce production by more than 40% this year! " Abby Cohen said, "but that's not the real reason for the food crisis."

"Why?" Lin Feng asked.

"Biofuels!" Abby Cohen said with a heavy tone, "with the increasingly drying up of oil resources, biofuels have become more and more popular in countries around the world, which leads to the shortage of food. In addition, once the food production is reduced, the food crisis will be triggered. Of course, this is only the most important factor. Another important factor is human push! "

Human driven? Lin Feng was surprised.

"Yes, it's human driven. According to some information I have received, some big forces are deliberately creating a food shortage panic. I don't know who this force is, and I don't know what methods they are using. I only know that there are big forces behind it. This is an opportunity and a crisis for you Abby Cohen was serious.

Crisis and opportunity? The forest wind is natural and clear. This opportunity is that I am afraid I will make a lot of money this time, but the crisis is that I make too much money, which attracts the covet of all parties.

"No, Lin, I don't mean that. As for you making too much money, you can only say that you are far sighted, or that you are lucky and envious. The crisis I'm talking about is that you may be the scapegoat for this food crisis! " Abby Cohen said anxiously.

scapegoat? Lin Feng's eyebrows moved, and his heart faintly understood.

"Yes, scapegoat! You have more than 400 billion US dollars of grain reserves in your hands, and now it has fluctuated by 20%. That is to say, this report of the Wall Street Journal makes you 80 billion US dollars out of thin air! 80 billion dollars. It's easy to make money. The world knows that you are the biggest grain trader in the world. Why does the Wall Street Journal publish such a post to make you money Abby Cohen asked, "you don't have a good relationship with them. So why are they doing this? "

Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, although the world is suffering from disastrous weather and grain production is reduced, it is not yet time for a complete outbreak of the food crisis《 The Wall Street Journal, however, took the lead in making it clear that it has not cheapened itself in vain? Is there any pie in the sky? Is Wall Street that good?

Obviously not!

"Lin, once the global food crisis breaks out, the outside world will surely accuse it of being caused by the prevalence of biofuels in various countries. As the world's largest food trader, if you control so much food, you will be taken as a scapegoat. At that time, I'm afraid you'll have to spend money to relieve the disaster! " Abby Cohen said, "so I suggest that you donate some food to some countries in Africa that are extremely short of food now! If you only make 80 billion yuan, donate 800 million dollars of food! Stop the outside world in advance! "

Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng remembers that when the food crisis happened, even today's US President Bush came out to explain the crime of non biofuels in the food crisis. At that time, several countries around the world were explaining the matter and rectifying the name of biofuels. And he is not the most suitable scapegoat!

"I see! But if there is a food crisis, I will make a lot of money. Do you have any suggestions on this matter? " Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Well, I don't have any suggestions for that. After all, this is an opportunity, just a reminder, that is, every time you make money, you will do some charity and donate some food to countries that need food to offset the criticism from the outside world! Although this will make less money, but this time, I'm afraid you will make a lot of money. So, the donated grain is just a drizzle for you! Of course, when donating food, I hope you can give it not directly to the government, but to the refugees. Giving it to the government is good for you to deal with the governments of other countries, but it is the worst for the refugees. African governments don't care much about people's lives. So, I hope you can give it to the people directly! " Abby Cohen said mercifully.

The international community's aid to Africa is continuous for many years. Every year, a large amount of food, medicine and basic living materials are sent to the extremely poor countries in Africa. Usually, only the food and goods directly delivered to the victims can really help them, while other food and goods, as long as they go through the government of this country, are basically gone. Finally, these donations will become a way for these countries to get rich. Of course, sometimes, even the food and materials that have been distributed to the victims will be snatched by some local government officials or anti-government forces.

Therefore, African victims often give the international scarlet letter a headache. Do you say save or not? Save it. These materials are likely to become a means for some warlords to get rich. If you don't save them, you will have a bad conscience.

Abby Cohen has been concerned about the problem of African refugees, and has always been a headache for this problem. She wanted to be able to help the refugees, but there was nothing she could do. Now, she finds that Lin Feng is a good candidate to solve this problem. Because Lin Feng has "wolf teeth" in Africa‘ Wolf teeth can protect the food in the hands of these victims from being taken away again.

Of course, there is a premise, that is, whether Lin Feng is willing to do it or not. Lin Feng offended the local warlords and government by doing so. This is not good for Lin Feng. After all, it is not good for Lin Feng to help these victims. On the contrary, offending these governments and Warlords is a headache for Lin Feng's industry in Africa. These warlords and governments dare not offend you on the surface, but give you some secret moves. Then you have no place to cry!

Therefore, Abby Cohen is not sure how Lin Feng will choose.

"Well, I see. I will let "Langya" be responsible for the food supply of the victims, and ensure that the food is absolutely distributed to every victim! " Lin Feng nodded and agreed without any consideration.

The joke is that today's "wolf tooth" relies on the founding of Somalia and has greatly expanded its strength. Many black mercenaries from Somalia have been recruited, and the army has expanded to 30000. These men may not be able to compete with the regular armies of developed countries, but they are very powerful in Africa. It's easy to deal with those local warlords in Africa!
