    The United States is the world's largest exporter of agricultural products, and at the same time, the agricultural association formed by farmers in this country is also quite powerful and is a very influential interest group in the American political arena.  The United States, a country of immigrants, was mainly based on agriculture when it was first established. The large fertile farmland of the Mississippi River cultivated this group of people.  Several American presidents were from this circle, such as Washington, the father of the founding, Jefferson, the father of the Constitution, James Monroe, the founder of the Monroe Doctrine, and others, all of whom came from farmers.

    Later China spent many years of efforts to squeeze into the WTO, but still did not fully open up to agricultural products.  But by around 2012, China was already importing a large amount of agricultural products from the United States, mainly soybeans and other grains.  Compared with the United States' obvious advantages such as intensification, large land plots and the use of new agricultural technologies, China's small-scale farming economy that engages in intensive farming is unable to compete.  Even if it imports a large amount of food, China must maintain its ability to be 100% self-sufficient in food.

    ¡° Then China has too many people, and its agricultural products are not just for food. China¡¯s huge oil industry basically relies on American soybeans.  Northeastern soybeans were defeated by imported soybeans in the 21st century, and there was even a dilemma of importing soybeans and then selling them under the banner of Northeastern soybeans.

    Qi Yiming does not have the ability to open up the ability of American agricultural products to flood into the domestic market, but he has other ideas at this time.  Agricultural products such as soybeans and grains can actually be regarded as minerals in the eyes of the Red Alert Base. These things can be directly converted into money that the base can consume, create a large amount of logistical supplies, and even extract organic matter for use in other products.  scientific uses.

    Qi Yiming doesn't understand the operation mode of the mysterious base, but he knows that these agricultural products are one of the resources that the base can consume. Even if these agricultural products are sent back to the country for deep processing into various non-staple foods, it is quite profitable. Now  The domestic food rationing system is still implemented, which in fact cannot meet the basic needs of the people at all. If the country is opened to import large quantities of agricultural products, the country will firstly have no money, and secondly, it will have a huge impact on the domestic agriculture.

    As for Qi Yiming's delivery of food to the troops, relying on the base's own cultivation consumes too many resources. However, if a batch of agricultural products are directly imported for processing, a lot of costs can be reduced, and the unused ones can be taken out  Go sell it.  And with the capabilities of the base, with these grains or livestock, almost any daily necessities can be produced.  It is even possible to use these organic substances to further synthesize base soldiers.

    "I can't jump to conclusions about agricultural products, but there is still room for cooperation. Well, this time I want to import 50,000 tons of soybeans and grains from the United States. I wonder if the contract farming association is interested?" Qi Yi  Ming said.

    The person in charge of the Agricultural Association narrowed his eyes with laughter. Fifty thousand tons is not a particularly large amount, but it is still a business of tens of millions of dollars. What's more, this is only the beginning of the Chinese. The Agricultural Association firmly believes that as long as  By opening up the Chinese market, their agricultural products will have better sales and greater profits.

    The person in charge of the agricultural association immediately pulled Qi Yiming and said: "No problem, we will prepare the grain you need as soon as possible. Give us a quantity, and we will be able to send this batch of goods on the ship in a short time."  , across the Pacific and sent to Hong Kong. By the way, Mr. Qi, my name is Henry, and I am the vice president of the Agricultural Association. "At this time, China's other ports have not developed much, and China's main window for foreign trade is still the free port of Hong Kong.  .  Hong Kong's prosperity basically relied on sealing off the mainland. After the rise of all coastal cities in China, Hong Kong's status gradually weakened. It became a consumer resort for duty-free goods and a financial center in Asia. The import and export trade did not have much power.

    Qi Yiming and Henry said: "We are willing to have some more in-depth and extensive cooperation with the American Agriculture Association, but this time I also have some small requests for your help."

    It is obvious that the Agricultural Association is very knowledgeable. Although the communication between Qi Yiming and Grumman is still confidential, the vice president knew it clearly. He showed an expression that I understood and said: "Chinese friends  I hope to buy our American fighter jets to make the silverfish in the military-industrial complex rich. In your words, Mr. Qi, it is mutual benefit and win-win, right? Our Agricultural Association is also very willing to support Chinese friends in national defense construction.  If you work hard, please rest assured that the Agricultural Association will actively play a beneficial role and try its best to promote this arms sale.¡±

    After receiving the guarantee from Henry and the Agricultural Association, Qi Yiming smiled slightly and expressed satisfaction.

    After fending off several waves of capitalists who were like hungry wolves who were only thinking about making money from the Chinese, Qi Yiming found his little girlfriend Jiang Huayan again.  Wearing a beautiful evening dress and her charming oriental appearance, this 21-year-old stewardess looked like a little princess surrounded by a group of high-class ladies.

    obviousThe ladies were very interested in what she was wearing. They asked her questions, and some ladies also asked about the casual suit Qi Yiming was wearing. It was obvious that they were very interested in Chinese fashion.

    Jiang Huayan was originally flying on international routes, and her English was not bad. Faced with the siege of a group of celebrities, she was a little confused. Fortunately, she always smiled and behaved politely, and there was no trouble.  When Qi Yiming found her again, the little beauty stewardess breathed a long sigh of relief, hugged Qi Yiming's arm and stuck out her tongue and said: "I'm almost exhausted, they are all asking me  Where did you buy your clothes? Which designer made your clothes? I just told them that they were made by your company. They also asked me what the name of the company was, but I could only say 'Qi'.  '. Ah, there are people asking if the clothing store will open in New York."

    This reminded Qi Yiming that the fashion industry is also a huge industry, and the clothes he wore were basically recorded in the database of the Red Alert Base and cut by the base's clothing factory.  Thinking that the cost of a Channel may not even be 10 US dollars, but he dared to ask for 1,000 US dollars, Qi Yiming thought that he might start a fashion brand and market it around the world, so that he would not lose the profit from selling arms.

    At this time, a crisp girl voice sounded in Qi Yiming's ear, "Hello, Mr. Qi."

    Qi Yiming turned around and saw a very eye-catching blonde.  This beauty is not particularly tall, about 1.65 meters tall. She looks a bit petite compared to American women with relatively large frames. She has blond hair tied into a peacock bun and wears a black floor-length evening gown.  Her face is extremely delicate, and is more in line with Eastern aesthetic concepts than Caucasians with large pores, stiff lines, and overly concave faces.

    "Hello, beautiful lady."

    The blonde girl smiled slightly and said, "I am Jacqueline Morgan, from the Morgan family."

    Qi Yiming was a little surprised and said: "One of the seven giants of Wall Street back then, I really didn't expect to have this honor to meet you, miss."

    Jacqueline shook her head and said: "Our family has gradually withdrawn from the financial industry today, and my family only holds a part of Morgan Stanley's shares. In the crazy era of JP Morgan, we will no longer  would count on it, and the U.S. federal government would not allow it.¡±

    Qi Yiming knows that many of these old industrial and commercial families have declined.  The Morgans of the generation he knew might still be quite wealthy, but they had basically withdrawn from public life.  After the end of World War II, the family system of American enterprises basically completed the transformation of professional managers and stock decentralization in the 1970s.  The modern business model has also evolved from private family companies controlling everything to a high degree of decentralization of stocks, and later large investment banks, funds and other legal entities began to concentrate equity again, so consortiums are no longer the final say of individual families, but  The core of the real consortium has become commercial banks and multinational companies, and people have become the slaves of the companies.

    Jacqueline added: "So now I am just a child of a wealthy family, and as you can see, I still have accomplished nothing, but I am very interested in the clothes you and your female companion are wearing, and I am also one myself.  As a designer, I wonder if there is any chance to form some cooperation with Mr. Qi on a clothing brand?¡±

    Qi Yiming nodded and said: "Why not? After all, I am here with full sincerity to invite American friends to come to China to make a fortune. But, Miss Morgan, when I heard your name, I was ready to make a fortune."  You talked about the banking industry. I didn¡¯t expect you to talk to me about the fashion industry. It¡¯s like punching cotton, haha.¡±

    Jacqueline smiled slightly and said: "After all, my surname is Morgan. If Mr. Qi wants to chat with some Wall Street gentlemen, I will be happy to introduce them to you."

    "Well, the U.S. government has promised me to contact a group of bankers to provide a low-interest loan to our country. I may have to deal with these bankers soon." Qi Yiming wants to get some money from the United States.  Come out, with the profitability of various industries in China in this era, even loan sharks can be repaid, but the profits will belong to foreigners.  When Qi Yiming made plans with the Economic Reform Commission and central government officials, he thought that loans could be made, but that opening up the financial market in an all-round way was not possible.  In fact, the United States itself has very strong controls on the financial market, and it is extremely difficult for foreign banks to enter the United States.  On the contrary, only places like Hong Kong and Singapore are more welcoming to foreign banks.

    "You can put aside the bankers' matters, Mr. Qi. I'm looking forward to cooperating on fashion. I wonder when we can have an appointment?" Jacqueline said with a smile.

    Seeing this stunning white girl Qi Yiming¡¯s heart beat shamefully for a few times, she slowly said: ¡°Although I am the boss of this company?But the designers and factories are still in China. Maybe Ms. Morgan will be willing to go to China and we can discuss these things in depth.  "

    Jacqueline agreed: "Going to China? Maybe it's a good choice. I've wanted to see the 'Great Wall' and the 'Forbidden City' for a long time."
