As the world's top four grain merchants, ABCD's business in South Africa has plummeted. The higher-ups have started to hold accountable. The boss of ADM South Africa became even more angry. The vice presidents had a meeting before, but they couldn't think of anything. He scolded his subordinates, but also Doesn't help.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to send more people to thoroughly investigate the sales of Changtian Technology products, and by the way, remind those suppliers in the past, so that they can adjust their positions.
It's not that there was no competition from the non-big four major grain merchants before. Under the strong offensive of the United States, all of them withdrew from the South African market in despair.
This time, he is still full of confidence. After all, the United States is still the hegemon of the world, and his confidence is hardened!
Investigators flew out of the company like bees and went to the stores of various suppliers.
Ted is an old liaison with ADM South Africa.
He is in contact with John Foods, the second largest grain supplier in the Hoxton region of South Africa. This is a lucrative job, every time I go to "check" there is filial piety, and if the order is closed, there will be kickbacks. With this job, Ted lives a very nourishing life.
In South Africa, not only do I have a second home, there are countless women, but I also live in a big villa. Life is much better than that in the United States.
The store manager of John's Food Company has always been respectful to himself.
That feeling almost surpassed the satisfaction brought by money.
As for small suppliers? I don't even have the qualifications to see myself.
Just when John was still thinking about how much autumn wind he could have in the store of John's Food Company this time, he discovered something different, that is, there were a lot more customers buying food than before.
"Such a good business, this time we need a little more! There is a lot of personal expenses outside." Ted parked the car directly at the door of the store, got out of the car and walked in swaggeringly.
This move aroused dissatisfaction among the people, because the cars cut off the queue, and everyone had to bypass the cars and line up.
"Who is this! Why are you so rude, park the car here, how can we still buy things?" Someone in the crowd said dissatisfied.
"Shut up, what is the identity of the person who drives this number plate? Do you want to cause trouble?"
"It looks like a new car!"
Most people in Africa buy second-hand cars that have been obsolete around the world. New cars are not affordable for ordinary people, mainly because there are not many places to buy them.
"Hmph! You look like a dog!"
Ted didn't care what these poor people said at all. He was too noble and only talked to people with dignity.
"Oh, dear Mr. Ted, why are you free today?"
The store manager of this John's Food Company store is called Dean. He came over with a smile on his face and greeted him warmly, but his eyes glanced at the car at the door, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Ted nodded and said, "Your business is good. Recently, I heard that there is a Sauter company whose food is selling very well. Is this true?"
Dean pointed to the long line of people and said, "Mr. Ted, it's Soto, not Soto. These people are all here to buy food produced by Soto."
"So many? All of them?" Ted looked at the group of poor people this time, and subconsciously asked, "What about ADM's products? They didn't buy them?"
"I really didn't buy it. Look over there." Dean pointed to the corner, where the food was all from ADM, and it was already discounted or no one cared about it, and he stayed quietly.
There is no way not to discount.
There is a shelf life for grain after it leaves the warehouse.
Moreover, the weather in South Africa is hot, if the food is not sold within a certain period of time, it is easy to exceed the shelf life.
Ted felt his blood pressure shoot up: "You actually put ADM's food in a corner? If you don't put it in a conspicuous place, who will buy it!"
If it was Ted's attack in the past, the store managers would have already bowed down and apologized and offered red envelopes. But this time was different. Dean said neither humble nor overbearing: "Mr. Ted, we didn't let it go, it was the customers who moved there to buy Soto's products."
"Why?"
"It is said that it hinders them from buying Soto's products."
Ted was speechless for a while. He pointed to the long team and choked out a sentence: "Aren't Soto's products gone now? Why are they still here?"
Dean poked his head over and replied, "Oh, they are waiting for Soto to restock. We have to restock many times a day, after all, it will be sold out in a few minutes. I heard that Soto's products are out of production." The line is coming, and there is no more stock here."
Ted wanted to stomp his feet angrily, these poor people would not buy anything if they had nothing to buyIt will be broken before reaching the hands of hungry people, and energy blocks and synthetic meat can be stored for a long time. "
"We don't have to worry about lack of funds anymore, because the price is so low that no matter how poor people can afford it, the money needed is greatly reduced. So we don't have to worry about food being robbed. Such cheap things are not worth robbing. "
"We don't have to worry about not having enough food, because Suoto's food has high nutritional value, and if we are not careful, it may even cause problems."
"World hunger will be resolved within a year or two, but we must be careful of those big forces whose interests are damaged destroying all of this."
As Wesley wrote this, he was already worried.
The irony is that Wesley's report is not even as fast as ADM's samples. In this world, the gap between rich and poor has long been too large, and the distribution of resources is very different.
