Chapter 356: Emotions; Grains of Grain Return to the Warehouse (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!!)
Although he hadn't driven a tractor for a while, Guo Yang felt good about himself.

The breeze is gentle and the sunshine is soft, making this weather extremely suitable for outdoor sports.

Guo Yang and Catherine played happily on the saline-alkali grassland for an hour or two before stopping.

"How was it?" Guo Yang opened the car door and jumped off the tractor. "It was worth the trip, wasn't it?"

Catherine also stepped off the tractor with her long legs and said with a smile, "It's better than I expected."

"It overturned my previous perceptions. This trip to China was really worthwhile."

"Then you can come often in the future."

Seeing Catherine nod, Guo Yang said inexplicably: "Maybe you can come to China to work and live."

Catherine was surprised and smiled, "Run the farm with you?"

It was very sudden. Guo Yang didn't expect Catherine to be so straightforward, but this seemed to be Catherine's usual style, confident and straightforward.

Guo Yang smiled and said nothing.

The tractor had stopped by the side of the road, and the two were walking on the flat grass.

Although the road is flat, it is not hardened. Under the long-term sunlight, any slight movement will cause dust to fly all over the sky.

Although there is grassland around, it is a saline-alkali marsh, and the occasional alfalfa and red willow flowers are almost withered.

Guo Yang couldn't really say that he liked Catherine.

Not hearing the answer she wanted, Catherine's disappointed look flashed across her face and she turned around and got on the SUV.

The two people came out alone, and the atmosphere was a bit silent on the way back.

After a while, we passed a sunflower farm.

In early autumn, sunflowers are in full bloom, and the golden flowers cover the fields, creating a spectacular sight.

Catherine's attention was also drawn.

"Guo, this flower is so beautiful."

Guo Yang thought about it and decided that remaining silent was not a solution.

Stop the car, open the door, and take out a pair of pruning shears and ribbons from under the right door handle of the cab.

Then he got off the car, trotted a few steps, picked a few blooming sunflowers and cut them one by one.

Guo Yang also carefully cleaned up the leaves, then picked up the ribbons to make a bouquet.

My hands are a little unfamiliar with it. After all, flower arrangement was an elective course I took in my previous life. Although I studied it seriously, it was mainly for the sake of getting credits.

When the book is used, it will be less regretful.

Guo Yang was in a panic and sweat broke out on his forehead in just a short while.

At this time, Catherine also got out of the car. Seeing Guo Yang's actions, she couldn't help but smile.

Then he walked over, said nothing, but helped with his hands.

Suddenly touched by the smooth skin, Guo Yang looked at Catherine in surprise.

But Catherine's method is also very bad.

This actually made Guo Yang more confident, and he relaxed and recalled some key points he had learned.

So much so that when a bouquet is made the result is not bad.

"For you."

“I hope you can grow towards the sun and follow the light like this flower.”

Catherine took it with a smile, "Thank you, I like it very much."

"nice! You love it."

At this time, Catherine, who was holding a sunflower in one hand, opened her other slender arm, wanting to give a gentle hug.

"What are you doing!"

"Fuck, that's a sunflower! Sunflower! Do you know what a sunflower is? Are you using it to pick up girls?"

A rude shout ruined the wonderful atmosphere.

Although Catherine didn't understand what the man was saying, she was holding a bouquet of freshly cut sunflowers in her hand!

It's no wonder what happened.

"What should I do? Guo? Is there a problem?"

"fine."

Guo Yang didn't think of escaping, he was quite well-connected in this area, and he also wanted to see which bastard was the one who ruined his plans!
After a while, the person came closer.

With his wrinkled skin, he looked just like an old farmer, and at this moment he was looking at the sunflower that was cut in half by Guo Yang in angrily.

"He even brought pruning shears with him. He came prepared. It seems he is a repeat offender!"

"With only a month left before the harvest, we took every precaution, but the people on the roadside suffered!"

"You are such a wicked thing..."

The old farmer cursed, but when he saw Catherine clearly, he was stunned again. This blonde with blue eyes was quite pretty, but she didn't look like a Kazakh!
Could he really be a foreigner?!
Guo Yang then said, "It was wrong of me to cut your flowers. I bought them. How much do you want?"

At this time, the old farmer looked at the car, then at the man, then looked down at the car again, looked at the license plate number, and asked uncertainly: "Is it from Tianhe?"

"No." Guo Yang continued, "Muhe's. I have a work badge on my car."

"No need, we are all family, I can recognize you."

In addition to pickup trucks, Jiahe's off-road vehicles are all of the same model and bought in the same batch, and the license plate numbers basically all start with 7.

So it’s easy to recognize.

Knowing it belonged to Tianhe, the old farmer let down his guard, but he also complained.

"Aren't there ornamental sunflowers in Tianhe Flower Garden? It would be a pity to cut my oil sunflowers."

"It's urgent." Guo Yang signaled Catherine with his eyes, "This is a German friend."

The old farmer was stunned for a moment, then quietly gave a thumbs up, "Great."

The old farmer felt that he should use his sense of being the protagonist, so he looked at Catherine and asked, "Aren't these flowers beautiful? Do you want some more?"

Catherine looked at Guo Yang in confusion.

Guo Yang: "He asked if the flower looked good? Should he cut some more?"

Katherine blinked. "May I?"

You really want it!
"Then cut three more bunches, no, four." Guo Yang said with a smile, "Give them to your sisters when you go back."

The old farmer no longer had the aggressive attitude he had at the beginning. Instead, he turned into a hardworking and kind farmer and helped the two of them cut a few more flowers.

The contrast between the before and after caught Guo Yang off guard.

After some trouble, four more bouquets of flowers were ready, but there were no ribbons, so I could only find a few ropes to tie them up. The effect was okay.

On the way back, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Facing the sunset, Guo Yang, wearing sunglasses, drove all the way to the scenic spot in Jiayuguan.

After waiting for a while, Victor and his family also came out of the scenic area.

Guo Yang helped Catherine present the brilliant sunflowers to several ladies present, and won continuous praise.

Compared to the Chinese people's reticence, these people really express their feelings openly all the time.

Of course, this also made Fran complain, "Guo, actually we men need gifts too."

John smiled and said, "Perhaps another gourmet meal tonight would be a good choice."

...

With the end of the Olympics, Catherine's family's visas are about to expire.

airport.

"Sister, are you dating Guo?" asked the younger sister Rebecca, and the others were also full of curiosity.

Looking at everyone's concerned eyes, Catherine smiled bitterly, "You have a really big imagination!"

"Will Guo come to Europe to develop?"

"No, he said he has a career here and he won't leave China, and I don't want to leave Germany either."

"Yes, I can't bear to leave you."

As they walked towards the airport, Fran said, "If it were before, I would have advised you not to come to China, but now I find that it's not that bad here."

"On the contrary, it's good. Everything is thriving." Hearing that Catherine didn't want to come to China, Lisa was relieved, but smiled and said, "If you want to come to China, I will support your decision."

"Thank you." Catherine looked back again, "But Victor Farm is more suitable for me."

……

Monday, August 25th.

The air was a little chilly in the early morning, and Guo Yang, who had put his mind at ease, began his busy day again.

The Olympics have ended, but for Jiahe Grain and Oil, it is just another time to get ready.

Because of the rumors about genetically modified organisms, the effect of Golden Arowana's Olympic publicity was far worse than expected.

This made both sides hold their breath.

I had just arrived at the office and the tea was not even ready when Ning Xiaojing walked in skillfully.

"Boss, Mr. Gao sent a message saying that a total of 76 lawyers across the country have filed lawsuits against the logo, and nine cases have been filed."

Although the issue of GMO labeling has died down for a while, Jiahe Grain and Oil has never given up.

Not only Golden Dragon Fish, but also brands such as Fulinmen, Luhua, Huifu, Zhizhiyuan, etc., as long as the companies involve GMO labeling, are within the scope.

The reason for doing this is to cooperate with the price war and make all soybean crushing companies switch to purchasing domestic soybeans.

Because soybean harvest time is approaching.

This year's output is destined to be amazing!
After thinking for a while, Guo Yang said, "Let President Fu take action and use all the publicity resources and channels."

"it is good."

Seeing Ning Xiaojing standing there quietly, Guo Yang asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Something suddenly spread in the company today." Ning Xiaojing whispered, "It said that the vegetables in your Happy Farm died?"

"What does this mean?" Guo Yang raised his eyebrows. He hadn't played Farmville for a while, but he didn't add many friends.

"I don't know either, but a lot of people are talking about it, and they also mentioned that you were driving a tractor on the salt marsh these past few days."

"It's inexplicable!" Guo Yang said, "Don't worry about such trivial matters."

Although he said to ignore it, Guo Yang still took a look at several spam groups.

But I couldn't figure it out.

On the contrary, it was some work progress that I saw inadvertently that made me feel the undercurrent in the grain and oil industry!

In the factory, the processing equipment is running at full speed;

In terms of transportation, it also maintains efficient operation;

In the supermarket, the salesperson in charge of promotion enthusiastically introduces the details of the promotion to every potential customer passing by;

At the base, mechanical harvesting equipment and transport vehicles are ready to go.

In Guo Yang's view, all this was going on in an orderly manner according to the established plan.

But in the eyes of other companies, Jiahe Grain and Oil is determined to pursue the enemy relentlessly and never give up!
When the issue of genetically modified oil labeling was widely publicized on the Internet, these people realized that trouble was coming again.

Genetically modified organisms are like an indestructible cockroach, which keeps haunting us again and again.

Having taken advantage of its benefits, you must now bear the consequences.

But before, there was no choice.
Now, don’t bother me, I’m afraid of misunderstanding about domestic soybeans!
Not only is the country facing price wars and GMO dilemmas, the situation of North American soybeans seems to be even worse!

In fact, in the later stage of soybean growth, after the plants are planted in the forest, weeds can be controlled.

However, American farmers who chose to control weeds calculated that the cost of soybean production this year was far more than 3600 yuan per ton.

In previous years, this figure generally fluctuated between 2400 and 2800 yuan per ton.

This is equivalent to a cost increase of 800 to 1200 yuan per ton.

In addition, farmers who allowed weeds to grow were even worse off, with soybean production almost halved!

How much subsidy can the federal government provide?

How much subsidy is needed to make up for the price advantage?
The forecasts of two major professional organizations, Infoma and Oil World, are very pessimistic. Weeds cannot be controlled and red fire ants are still destroying the land!

The Federation's arms woven of grain are falling apart.

In addition to grain and oil agencies, Bloomberg even published an article saying that the federal government is considering using more powerful weapons to defend the interests of farmers.

However, the sluggish economic situation in the United States has dragged down all of this!
Federal Finance is also going to collapse!

When the news reached back home, soybean crushing companies that used imported soybeans as their main raw material were in a state of panic.

Everyone is against GMOs, and the cost advantage of imported soybeans has disappeared.

CEOs of major companies have changed their tune.

Faced with pressure, Fulinmen made its first public statement in front of the media.

"Fortune has already established a procurement channel for domestic soybeans. In the future, we will gradually reduce the processing of genetically modified soybeans, or even completely replace them with domestic soybeans!"

People in the industry called this Lao Liu's behavior. It was you who originally claimed that imported soybeans had price advantages.

Why did you turn around and sell out your brothers?

So immoral!
however,
Sun Mengquan, chairman of Luhua, said, "Supporting the development of domestic soybeans is the unshirkable responsibility of grain and oil companies."

This is almost the same tone of most companies. While there is still time, they are trying to contact domestic soybean production bases.

There are also CEOs with bad tempers, "If you don't transform, you'll die, or transform like Huifu Grain and Oil and become a bricklayer!"

There is no good ending for the iron-headed kid.

Huifu Grain and Oil is the tough guy who chose to grit his teeth and hold on.

Its boss Shi Kerong did not appear in public, and no words were heard.

The media speculated that this might be related to the railway logistics and ports that Huifu spent huge sums of money to purchase in South America in the past two years.

Giving up imports means at least hundreds of millions of dollars will be wasted.

After learning about this, Gaode told Shi Kerong, "Jiahe is willing to purchase Huifu Grain and Oil's resources in South America at market prices."

This time, Shi Kerong finally showed up, but he rejected Jiahe's acquisition without hesitation.

"Jiahe Grain and Oil is betting heavily on domestic soybeans and promoting domestic soybeans to replace imported soybeans, which is also driven by profit."

"Jiahe doesn't care about the profits from soybean processing because it can benefit from every link as long as it achieves domestic substitution of imports."

"But other companies can't do that. As long as Jiahe chooses to engage in a price war, other companies will be fish on the chopping block to be slaughtered."

"Jiahe Grain and Oil is a cancer!"

“The choice for oil and fat companies should not be to compromise, but to resist the development of this unhealthy industrial chain!”

Huifu also chose Zhizhiyuan from Pengcheng.

Guo Bochun also criticized Golden Harvest in the media.

“It is not only a cancer in the edible oil industry, but also a cancer in the soybean crushing industry!”

Godard didn't care.

Guo Yang didn't take it to heart at all.

Price war is a very flexible weapon, and Jiahe has never thought of monopolizing the edible oil market.

Because in the new economic situation, any resistance will appear stupid and ridiculous.

As time enters September, soybeans in all parts of the north and south have entered the harvest period.

This year, the weather has been good everywhere, so a bumper soybean harvest is a natural thing.

The bumper harvest even exceeded many people's expectations, and local media everywhere rushed to report on it.

"Domestic soybean harvest is good, and the market is no longer concerned about the North American GMO crisis."

"Unlocking the secret of soybean harvest on black soil - good seeds first, fertile soil."

"The soybean harvest is good and farmers are making a lot of money."

"The autumn harvest is in the warehouse, and the land of Qi and Lu is full of beautiful scenery."

The autumn wind brings a chill, and three springs are not as busy as one autumn.

In autumn, the forests of China are dyed with golden colors, the fertile fields are golden, and harvesters shuttle through the fields, harvesting soybeans and corn grains into warehouses.

On the other side of the ocean at the same time.

The 158-year-old Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, triggering severe turmoil in global financial markets.
