From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia never imagined that his brother's ideals could be so 'lofty'!

"Who would have thought that every grain of food on the plate is hard work?" The career of "farming" is surprisingly in line with Qiao Liang's character!

Qiao Liang and Qiao Jia have similar attitudes towards money. They both like solid money.

It’s just that because of China-Africa’s huge investment, Qiao Jia had no choice but to step into the financial world and cooperate with Qami to establish the ‘Pirate Fund’.

And Qiao Liang wants to 'farm'...

Qiao Jia didn't know what to say. He had just told his brother to choose a meaningful career, so it didn't seem very good to pour cold water on him now.

Qiao Jia's vision and mind have been completely opened in the past two years, and he has a little understanding of the underlying logic of how the world works.

The intelligent farming that Qiao Liang wants to do will also be equipped with solar unmanned airships. This cannot be intensive farming. It must be large-scale industrial planting, so he will not have too many types to choose from.

In addition to several types of grains, soybeans, and at most some vegetables suitable for large-scale planting, what else can there be?

The "farming" industry, assuming there is no state support or subsidies or the backing of big capital, is not a lucrative industry in any country.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are just the two least harmful types of unavoidable difficulties in farming, and these two can already make you lose all your money.

More importantly, you have no pricing power on the things you grow.

The most ridiculous thing about this world is that agricultural producers earn the least in the industrial chain.

Just like those dairy giants do not raise their own cows, but share the risks and make the most profits themselves.

The world's super agricultural giants farm their own land just to hedge risks. Their profits lie in harvesting benefits from farmers and financial markets through price manipulation and other means!

Every political power and financial capital knows the importance of food to the world, so no one has ever thought about letting farmers make a lot of money, because stable food prices are the basis for all stability.

Conscientious governments will provide subsidies to farmers because they know how hard farmers work and how important they are.

And what about the agricultural market that has fallen into complete marketization?

Relying on the U.S.-Mexico trade agreement, the United States used industrialized farming methods to completely destroy Mexican agriculture, forcing Mexican farmers to grow marijuana, and then... Wall Street took away most of the profits.

Individual farmers can never compete with those monopolistic financial giants!

They can wave the baton at will to cause fluctuations in world food prices, and you can only follow his rhythm.

Qiao Jia was able to free up a large area of ​​land in Central Africa for Qiao Liang to experiment with his ideas, but he invested in unmanned airships, established intelligent networks, and purchased large-scale mechanized agricultural tools...

If this kind of agricultural investment wants to make money, it must be on a large scale. Hundreds of thousands of acres are not worth the effort. When the land reaches millions of acres, with all these advanced things added together, how many years will it take you to farm the land to make back your investment?

Moreover, in Central Africa, food cannot be sold at a high price. There is no railway here, and road transportation is a mess. Can we still expect Central Africa to build a few highways to sell food?

Farming is an industry with high investment but can only be settled once or twice a year at most. It may be the industry with the lowest investment value in the world.

If Qiao Liang said that he farmed just to have enough food and live a well-off life, then Qiao Jia would definitely be fine with it, but he also wanted to make a lot of money. What should he do?

Intelligence and informatization seem to be a panacea in the eyes of the Chinese people. It seems that any industry that combines these two will become a promising project. Even college students like Qiao Liang feel a little brainwashed.

But in fact, there are no policies to pave the way for you, and there is no large capital investment. The labor costs and management costs you save by using intelligent informatization will not support the day when you become bigger and stronger.

But looking at the determined expression on Qiao Liang's face, Qiao Jia sighed and said, "Let's do it, let's start with the unmanned airship.

At least this thing is very useful to me, and it should be enough for you to get some small cheap ones on your farm in the future.

Think about it yourself, where is the most suitable place to farm. My suggestion is to find a way abroad. If you don't get enough subsidies at home, you will be burning money if you do this. "

Qiao Liang looked at Qiao Jia with an awkward expression and said: "Brother, after listening to what you did just now, I actually think I can try it in Central Africa. As long as industrialization can keep up, a large amount of food can... "

"Stop it!"

Qiao Jia waved his hand to interrupt his brother's whim. He has already controlled the economic lifeline of Central Africa for the next ten years. You, a boy who has not graduated from college, still want to break in and control their food market?

This is not a profitable business. You, a college student, still want to control other people’s lives to hedge against losses? Looking for death?

Although the agriculture here is dependent on the sky, it also solves the food problem for most people.

The Central African government simply does not have the ability to regulate the agricultural product market. No matter how miserable the farmers are now, as long as there is no war, they can still eat, and the remaining agricultural products can be exchanged for some supplies.

Unless you want to do pure charity, you should target the local food sales market in Central Africa. When the scale of your industry increases, your idea of ​​reducing expenditures will be accurately reflected in the market, and the wheel of the market economy will Along with technological agriculture, the farmers of Afica were crushed.

Then this place will no longer be a concept of Mexico. The industrial system of Central Africa cannot accommodate so many farmers. By then, those farmers who cannot afford to eat will make this place the lowest level of hell.

When the time comes, people like Qiao Liang will become the target of their crusade, and when forced, the local government will push him out to block the attack.

Firmly rejecting Qiao Liang's idea, Qiao Jia hesitated and said, "I don't know how to farm, but I can give you some suggestions on where to farm.

Don't take it for granted that controlling the agricultural market in a place is a great thing. In fact, in some places, controlling food is more dangerous than controlling arms.

I have met many Chinese agricultural experts in South SD. In the past, they only helped the locals by teaching them how to farm. They never thought of helping them upgrade agriculture to the level of industrialization, because if it is small, it will not make money, but if it is big, it will have consequences for the locals. Can't control it.

Do you think you are the only smart person in this world?

If you want to farm, just farm in a down-to-earth manner. If you want to make it smart, just do it in a down-to-earth manner.

It’s really done. Let’s go to developed countries to sell your stuff. After all, it saves manpower and management costs. In developed countries, it’s different from Afika. "

Qiao Liang is only twenty years old. He actually doesn't understand many things. He should have learned them in political economics university, but how many people can really learn them?

In essence, Qiao Liang is engaged in computer technology, and now he plans to apply this technology in the agricultural field.

Just when the conversation between the two brothers reached a deadlock, Chris, who didn't know when he appeared next to them, suddenly said: "The best place for smart agriculture should be Germany, but the most promising place should be Eastern Europe. , because there is a large area of ​​flat land.

Germany already has unmanned agricultural machinery, and the Swedish Atlas Copco Group also has similar products.

If your brother's intelligent management system can really be established, then this project is still valuable. "

As he spoke, Chris whistled and said with a smile: "Sitting in front of a computer and farming is a very advanced concept.

This should not be an agricultural company, but a technology company.

I have played a farm game before. If this game is realized, people can use their mobile phones to manage their own farms in their spare time, and finally be able to harvest the output of the rented land..."

Qiao Jia saw his brother's eyes light up, as if he had found a soulmate. He smacked his lips and shook his head and said, "Don't listen to him. Ask people to pay money online to rent land, buy fertilizer seeds, and then plant the land yourself. In the end, The price of the agricultural products obtained will be much higher than the market price, and the value gap will offset people's desire to play.

What he means to make money is to look for places with the lowest land prices, attract users with ultra-low land rents and game-like agriculture, quickly accumulate capital using a method similar to a Ponzi scheme, then seek financing and go public, and then withdraw after making a wave of money. "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at his younger brother's eyes that were still glowing. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Playing a real-life farm game will be difficult in the end, but if you really make up your mind, it's not impossible to operate.

This guy is a broker. I can ask him to help find the right land in the right place, and then you can try it.

If you can really attract a group of players, as long as you standardize the rules of the game, you can hedge part of the initial investment, which is in line with your feeling of smart farming.

However, blowing up balloons to make money is not suitable for us brothers. We don't have to do such heartless things. This is not a meaningful career. "

As soon as Chris heard Qiaojia relent, he took a bottle of beer, sat down, and said with a smile: "I'm really interested. I have a farm in Sweden. If this intelligent management system can really work, I will be the first one." Place an order, I’ve always wanted to be a farmer, but unfortunately my feet aren’t used to muddy ground.”

As he spoke, Chris looked at Qiao Liang, who still had a green look on his face. He hesitated for a moment, sighed and said: "If you just want to make money, I should recommend you to buy land in Ukraine, because your brother has arms. Through channels, we can easily obtain cheap land from Dongwu.

But I have seen your brother's stubbornness, and the situation there is not very good recently.

In fact, if your brother is willing to risk entering Ukraine to take some of the grain reserves there... forget it, he won't do it!

So I recommend you consider Brazil or Bolivia. If your brother is willing to send people to support you, Peru is not impossible to consider.

The land in these places is very cheap and the environment is great. If you really want to do this, I can consider investing part of it.

Even in the worst-case scenario, this system still has prospects in Northern Europe. "

Qiao Liang doesn't know what's wrong?

I just mentioned the idea of ​​developing modern agriculture in Central Africa, but was scolded by my brother. Now, this career that I had no idea about now suddenly became a bit more than an agricultural company in Chris's mouth. .

God knows, Qiao Liang initially planned to try it at a classmate's home in the Northeast. He kept half of the money his brother gave him, just to use it as funds for renting land.

Why is it now Dongwu and South America? Is it so easy to buy land abroad?

Why does my brother seem to be a bit omnipotent with Chris?

Compared to Qiao Liang's naivety, Qiao Jia was much more sober. He looked at Chris, who looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hands, shook his head and said: "My brother's career doesn't require you to invest in it. If you have something to say, just talk..."
