Opening up a new battlefield was the purpose of Zhou Ming traveling all the way to Mingzhou. Although things in mainland China and Fujian and Taiwan are now done more secretly, there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen. Professor Zhu¡¯s betrayal last time reminded Zhou Ming that the capital war caused by the Iran-Iraq War has gradually calmed down. It would be very troublesome for giants like Morgan and Rockefeller to have their time and turn the spotlight on themselves. How can I not get my shoes wet when I often walk along the river? Therefore, Zhou Ming must find a way to take those guys' eyes away from himat least not to put all the energy on himself, so the best way is to open up another capital battlefield. And Zhou Ming clearly remembers that in the financial crisis that ravaged the world in 2008, in addition to the well-known subprime mortgage crisis, there was actually a futures war on bulk grains. Even this news did not appear in the mainstream media. Compared with second-hand news, Mortgage is even scarier. As for the food crisis, it is very simple. In order to protect the environment and cope with the rising oil prices, developed countries turned grain into fuel. It sounds ridiculous, but it is true. According to verifiable data, nearly 20% of the world's food is used to make fuel every year. As for the unverifiable, we don't know how much. It is for this reason that the futures war was triggered in later generations. Zhou Ming understood this, and now he came to persuade the Wallace family to start planning in advance. Since this can¡¯t be avoided anyway, it¡¯s better to control it in your own hands. This is Zhou Ming¡¯s plan. Will the Wallace family accept it? Zhou Ming is not worried at all, because this is a historical necessity. Even if he does not dare to place a bet easily now, he will in the future. The facts were quickly proven. On the third day, Wallace came over and invited Zhou Ming to participate in the family's internal meeting. Hearing what he said, Zhou Ming knew that the matter was done, and he readily agreed. In the conference room of the Kaji Group¡¯s headquarters, Zhou Ming talked eloquently, saying that the energy crisis and the food crisis complement each other. "As oil prices continue to rise, traditional industries, especially automobiles and ships, which are closely related to people's livelihood and transportation, will definitely look for alternative energy sources, and biofuels made from grain as raw materials are very suitable, and you will also be in this We make a lot of money in operation!¡± Zhou Ming¡¯s speech received widespread thunderous applause from the Wallace family. However, after the applause died down, some people also raised questions: "But Mr. Zhou Ming, how do you judge that oil prices will definitely rise to a very high level? Why do you want to help us like this? What do you hope to get?" Zhou Ming I have been prepared for such questions: "You asked very well, first of all, about oil prices. The reason why I am so sure is because I am a partner of Morgan and Rockefeller, and because I provided their strategy to push up oil prices. So do you think I don¡¯t know the answer?¡± Zhou Ming continued: ¡°As for helping you? It¡¯s because I also hope to make a profit. If it¡¯s really about exchange, I hope to get the relevant patents on soybeans.¡± , these guys actually applied for a patent for soybean gene fragments, which directly destroyed the entire domestic soybean industry. What's even more annoying is that the gene fragments they applied for were precisely sent out by China as a friendly exchange. The family members talked among themselves for a while, and finally Wallace stepped forward and told Zhou Ming that they believed Zhou Ming¡¯s words in principle, and that they would not hand over the soybean gene fragment patent. ¡°As compensation, we can provide the best price to China.¡± Wallace said. "I don't do wholesale of bulk agricultural products, but I can introduce you to relevant people in China." Zhou Ming was not surprised at all by their decision. After all, a group of capitalists who wanted to pick up a handful of dogs passing by would not be able to sell out. Patent thing. As for the preferential price they mentioned, Zhou Ming did not dare to agree easily. Who knows if they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sell it, so it is better to find professional people to handle such professional matters. Not only Zhou Ming, but Caitlin also promoted the development of new energy sources in Europe, especially the redevelopment of biofuels with the Louis Group, which is also one of the four major grain merchants. In addition, the Nordic countries also funded their environmental protection undertakings. Of course, Caitlin is not the only one fighting alone on the European continent. Karelina, who has always been patient, has also started to fight. She took action like Wang Zha, taking Boltasky, Sergeevsky and others to visit the European continent to discuss the transaction of Ural oil and gas resources. This two-pronged approach has heated up the situation in Europe that is about to settle, because no matter where they are resolved, it can largely free them from their dependence on Middle East oil. The actions of Caitlin and Karelina also shocked wealthy families such as Piero and Freeman. Although they had just harvested the continent, they were also prepared to continue to bleed the continent with the high oil prices in the future. Yes, if they work together to solve it like this, then they won't agree to it. So they immediately contacted Zhou Ming, hoping that Zhou Ming would come to New York immediately to discuss countermeasures. Although there was a commanding tone, I am afraid they themselves did not expect that now they are increasingly inseparable from Zhou Ming in making decisions. Zhou Ming arrived in New York and told them directly: "This result was expected, so I just came from Mingzhou." Mingzhou? Kaji Group? "There are only two ways for Europe to solve the energy crisis. One is to look eastward for new energy. However, due to historical reasons and different systems, and the time required to build oil and gas pipelines, this is unlikely to be possible in a short time." Zhou Mingshu Picking up his second finger: "Then the most likely possibility is to use food to make biofuels." "Then we must stop them!" Freeman said immediately. However, Zhou Ming glanced at him and said: "Then I have the exact opposite view as you. Not only do I not think that we should stop it, on the contrary, I think that we should strongly support it." "Everyone might as well think about it carefully. If there is no Internet, we don't need it. If there is no oil and gas energy, everyone can tolerate it, but what if there is no food? That is the real need! " This sentence opened everyone's thinking, yes, let them burn the food and wait for them. After relying on biofuels again, I can control it at will. But at this time Tisman asked a very critical question: "But none of us are engaged in bulk grain trade." Zhou Ming smiled: "It seems that Mr. Tisman is more forgetful. As I said just now, I will never I have already reached an agreement with the Wallace family, and we can have further talks at any time." Faced with Zhou Ming's words, Piero and Freeman had different expressions. Logically speaking, Zhou Ming had already prepared countermeasures, and they should be happy, but they had already offended the Wallace family, whether it was during the post-war profit distribution in the Iran-Iraq war or when they were wielding the sickle for the final harvest on the European continent. , all exclude them. But now they have to unite again to deal with the changes, which is still very embarrassing even with their face. Zhou Ming wanted this effect, that is, to have conflicts between them. ¡°Only when they have conflicts will they try their best to bargain, and they won¡¯t have so much energy to care about what is happening in Fujian and Taiwan. Of course, on the surface, Zhou Ming was very dedicated. He flew back to Minnesota the same day he came up with the idea in New York, and then told Wallace about the changes in Europe and the strategies of the three major capital giants. Wallace laughed after hearing this: "They have their day too, I won't let them go!" Zhou Ming shrugged: "Although I don't know about your festivals, I think you still have to cooperate, but you can "I will do it even if you don't tell me!" said Wallace. After saying hello to both parties and then entering their long bargaining session, it was no longer Zhou Ming¡¯s business. Zhou Ming took advantage of this time to contact the country and Caitlin, and great progress was made on both sides. First of all, domestically, the wafer factory finally pulled out the first silicon rod that meets the requirements of the 65-nanometer process after a long period of failure. Then, the special gas can completely replicate and produce all the gases required for photolithography. Then in Fujian and Taiwan, the technical team sent by Du Peng, in cooperation with Wang Zhongmin¡¯s team, has fully mastered the 193-nanometer process technology, and has also learned a lot of related technologies of immersion lithography machines. Finally, on the European side, the lenses and precision instruments customized by Wang Rujun from Rice Company and Plas Company, as well as Igor's purification device, were also shipped and anchored in Atdam, and shipped to the country. "As long as these equipment are in place, the laboratory can immediately carry out the final research on the lithography machine. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be completed within three months. The mass production of the lithography machine can also be achieved if there are enough parts. We can mass-produce lithography machines within half a year!¡± On the phone, Wang Rujun shouted excitedly, and on the other end of the phone, how could Zhou Ming not be ecstatic? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ Unexpectedly, now I finally have the opportunity to make it happen! But Zhou Ming still suppressed his joyful mood, warned Wang Rujun: "The more critical moments like this come, the more we must stay calm, and we must not let the chain slip in the end!" "We must remember that over in Fujian and Taiwan, our technical staff must apply for their own research Global patents must make lithography technology truly our own!¡± Zhou Ming deeply remembers that in his last life, because his technicians did not apply for a patent for the corresponding technology, Wang Zhongmin took advantage of this and sued domestic chip companies. , interrupting the development path of chip companies. In this life, Zhou Ming will not give him this opportunity again, and he will even give him a head-on blow. (End of this chapter)
