A week later, the leaders of 15 "Wei Yuan" countries gathered at Williams royal palace.
In the magnificent hall, Henry said, "first of all, welcome to you. This time, our 15 countries joining the "Wei Yuan" system have come together to solve the food problem! "
Henry looked around them and said, "there are four or five billion people in 15 countries, and more than half of them suffer from hunger. Williams empire can provide food, but it is not enough to eat! Therefore, instead of importing grain, it is better for us to rely on ourselves and produce our own food. "
The leader of the Democratic Republic of the Congo couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, the situation in our country, as you know, agriculture is developing slowly, and it's very difficult to be self-sufficient."
"I know that, so the Williams empire is willing to work with you to vigorously develop modern agriculture and increase food production!" Henry said slowly, "good seeds make good crops! Monsanto is the largest and most advanced genetically modified seed production company in the world. According to the special situation of African countries, Monsanto has developed four kinds of genetically modified crop seeds, including sweet potato, soybean, corn and peanut, which are very suitable for African countries. If countries plant these four kinds of genetically modified seeds, the harvest will be two to three times as high as before. And at the same time, if we use the "jinkela" agricultural fertilizer additive provided by Monsanto for other countries, we can further increase grain production! " Henry can't help joking when he said that San Diego agricultural group of the United States will only launch this "advanced technology to save the world's agriculture" - jinkela in 2007. So, Henry used the name first.
Africa's agriculture is undeveloped, so we must have a golden harvest!
Henry secretly chuckled in his heart. The advertisement of "jinkela" in his previous life was extremely shocking. It was just like thunder rolling in the sky. Henry's stomach hurt when he saw it. However, this piece of gold is not the other piece of gold. It's totally genuine, and the old and the young are not deceived. What's more, Henry didn't exaggerate. He only said that he could increase food production!
At this time, Henry went on to say: "with genetically modified seeds and jinkela fertilizer, the agriculture of all countries will develop quickly! However, considering the economic difficulties of various countries, I propose a cooperation plan here! Seeds and fertilizer can be given free to farmers, but these farmers must sign an agreement that during the contract period, one third of the grain harvest belongs to the Williams empire! In fact, it means that the Williams Empire employs these farmers to work on their own land, and the annual salary is two-thirds of the food! " Henry paused and said with a smile: "this kind of cooperation, farmers do not have to bear any risk. The more grain they produce, the more they earn!"
A president of Ethiopia raised his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, how long is the contract?" Monsanto is famous in the industry. It is a grain seed giant. Therefore, people do not doubt the quality of Monsanto's products.
"Ten years!" Said Henry, opening ten fingers.
The 14 presidents looked at each other and talked in a low voice.
"Is 10 years too long?"
"Yes, I think it's too long, too!"
“……”
The Mozambican president then said to Henry, "Your Majesty, we all think that 10 years is too long. Five years is more appropriate. After five years, we can consider the issue of renewal."
Henry narrowed his eyes and laughed. What are their plans? Henry knew that in the future, the economy and agriculture had developed, and they wanted to own one-third of the harvest.
"OK, no problem!" Henry's answer was straightforward. Even if we don't renew the contract in the future, we need seeds and fertilizer. Used to Monsanto's genetically modified seeds and fertilizers, farmers will naturally prefer Monsanto's products. These five years, in fact, are equivalent to training users.
In this part of Africa, there are few arable land and plains, and the farms have not formed a scale. Most of them are divided into farmland for each household. If Henry sent someone to buy these farmland, it would be too troublesome. It would be very difficult to manage one piece of land in the East and one piece in the West. This kind of cooperation mode proposed by Henry now saves effort and effort, and promotes the products. The higher the grain yield, the higher the income of farmers, so the enthusiasm of farmers is also relatively high. One is to work for others, the other is to work for oneself, which is obviously different. Of course, if the location is better and the farmland can be linked together to form a larger farm, then Henry would buy it and hire workers to produce it to provide food for the growing population of Williams empire in the future. After all, only five-year contracts have been signed with farmers from all over the world. Five years later, the situation is still unknown. Henry still wants to buy some farms in all African countries and be prepared.
The leaders of 14 countries were smiling one after another when Henry agreed so readily. This kind of cooperation is a sure way for them. And for Williams Empire, it's also a win-win situation!
"Presidents, as for signing contracts with farmers, it is necessary for governments of all countries to cooperate with them."
"No problem!" 14 people have nodded!
Henry said with a smile, "well, let's sign the memorandum now and then hold a press conference!"
"Good!"
……
In the evening of the same day, the 15 countries jointly held a news conference. At the press conference, Henry announced the food cooperation plan of 15 countries, which caused an uproar.
The next day, global food prices plummeted.
The four major grain merchants were speechless. Before, because Henry sent a large amount of grain to Africa, resulting in global food shortage and soaring food prices, the four major grain merchants made a lot of money. But now, how can Henry Williams make money if he wants to increase food production and reduce food prices in Africa?
Food hungry countries around the world cheered. But they may be cheering a little early.
With the increase of food production in Africa, the population of Africa is also soaring! Therefore, even if the food production is increased, it may not be able to solve the global food crisis. It's very fierce to have children in Africa. A woman has an average of four children in her life. It's just that there are too many children to support. Millions of people starve to death every year. Just take the Williams empire as an example, the number of newborn babies in 2005 was 7.48 million, and according to the survey 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! At present, the permanent resident population of Williams empire is up to 98.31 million, of which 45.63 million citizens have the nationality of Williams Empire, accounting for half of the total population. There are a lot of foreign migrant workers, but they will soon apply for the nationality of Williams Empire, enjoy super high welfare here, and do not want to go back to their own country. At the same time, they will take over their relatives, and then increase the population of Williams empire.
The more people there are in the Williams Empire, the more children there will be. You know, the Williams Empire encourages children, and Henry even plans to increase the population of the Empire to more than 500 million! This is true of the Williams Empire, let alone other African countries. According to Henry's knowledge, the population of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Tanzania, Nigeria and Malawi, which were the first countries to join the "Wei Yuan" system, is increasing rapidly. The population of the 10 countries that will join will certainly increase dramatically.
If there is no world war, biochemical crisis and other things, then the earth's population will only be more and more. However, due to the limited arable land and output, the food crisis can not be well solved. But, fortunately, Henry has made plans for a rainy day, has an immigrant planet plan, and is still actively studying the cultivation of space plants
