Chapter 329 Conspiracy
The sun sets in the west.
Luo Xuan's parents drove a motorcycle back to the doorstep.
Luo Xuan's father, who was a carpenter, saw the light in the living room and the sneakers on the shoe cabinet, and he knew that his son had returned.
"Ah Xuan, you're back?"
Luo Xuan, who was sitting in front of the computer at this moment, heard a familiar shout from downstairs and raised his head: "Dad! I'm upstairs."
The mother, who was carrying vegetables and eggs, also heard her son's voice and hurried into the house: "Ah Xuan, you came back without telling me. I'm going to buy a box of boiled chicken."
Luo Xuan turned off the computer and walked to the stairs: "Mom, no need, I'm having a party with some colleagues tonight, so you don't have to cook for me."
It was a rare occasion for the family to get together. While cooking in the kitchen, the mother asked about Luo Xuan's work and life.
The father turned on the TV and chatted with his son.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Luo Xuan looked at the time and knew it was almost time to go to the party, so he went upstairs to change into a more decent set of clothes and tidy up his appearance.
I walked out of the alley and spotted a shared bike on the side of the road.
More than twenty minutes later.
Luo Xuan arrived at the door of a food stall.
A middle-aged man in his thirties came over enthusiastically after seeing Luo Xuan: "Luo Xuan, right? I am Huang Xianjun from the Puning branch."
"Hello! Brother Huang, just call me Xuanzi." Luo Xuan was a little reserved.
Huang Xianjun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too reserved. We are all family. Let's go in and have dinner! Two colleagues have already arrived, and two more will come later."
"Brother Huang spent a lot of money."
The two of them walked into a small private room in the food stall.
The other two colleagues who had arrived earlier also greeted Luo Xuan enthusiastically when they saw him come in. The two seemed to be a couple.
Huang Xianjun handed the menu to Luo Xuan: "Xuanzi, don't be polite, just order whatever you want."
Luo Xuan took the menu and looked at the dishes on it, feeling a little at a loss as to where to start. Although the country has regulated the prices of daily necessities and food, the impact of the world environment is still difficult to avoid.
The menu includes fried crab from the Typhoon Shelter for 80 yuan, steamed soft-boiled mantis shrimp for 200 yuan, stir-fried beef with kale for 40 yuan, clam and winter melon soup for 80 yuan, and dried shrimp in garlic sauce for 80 yuan...
The prices made him scratch his head. After all, someone else was treating him, and he was worried that he would give others a bad impression if he just ordered random dishes.
Huang Xianjun saw his troubles and shook his head with a smile: "The fried crab in the Typhoon Shelter is good, and the braised sea eel is also very good."
Another male colleague at the side said with a smile: "Don't be polite to Lao Huang, he is a Class C 4."
Level C4? Luo Xuan certainly knew the employee levels of Homo sapiens.
The basic salary for level C4 starts at 3,000 gold yuan. With other miscellaneous subsidies, it is estimated to be around 4,000 gold yuan.
This income is almost four times that of Luo Xuan.
Luo Xuan's guilt was relieved immediately. He ordered a beef stir-fried with kale and a pumpkin soup, and handed the menu to the male colleague who had just spoken:
"Brother Liu, take a look too."
Liu Mingzhi took it with a smile: "You really know how to save money for Lao Huang."
Luo Xuan laughed dryly and scratched his head.
Liu Mingzhi's girlfriend asked curiously, "Xuan Zi, are you from Mengguo Company?"
"Yes, I'm a comic book story editor in Dream Country, what about you, Hongjie?"
Lin Lihong poured him a cup of oolong tea: "I'm at the Chinese branch of Fengzao House."
Hearing about this company, Luo Xuan was surprised: "House of Abundance? This subsidiary has business here?"
"Who said there is no such thing? Although we have not obtained market access to physical supermarkets, we still have an overseas online store department that can directly connect to the entire Far East region," Lin Lihong explained.
Luo Xuan took a sip of oolong tea and said, "Then can we purchase products from the House of Abundance through overseas shopping?"
Lin Lihong nodded: "Yes! Sure! And if you use an employee account to buy, the price will be much cheaper. Our company has an exclusive cooperation with SF Express, and all online shopping products here are shipped by SF Express."
In fact, House of Abundance not only cooperates with SF Express for overseas purchases, but has also established a number of agricultural product .
These agricultural product purchasing centers are built around local specialty agricultural products. After purchasing these agricultural products, they will be packaged and processed and then sold to the local area of Zhiren Company.
All of these agricultural products have one thing in common, which is that they are required to obtain organic certification from Sapiens.
This organic certification is not something that can be bought with money. Instead, the Agriculture Department of Sapiens Company has a special Organic Agriculture Department, which has a special Organic Certification Office under it, which is responsible for this matter.
For each farm and plantation that has obtained Homo Sapiens organic certification, random inspections will be carried out from time to time to ensure that their products meet the standards. If they do not meet the standards, they will be warned or even have their certification revoked.
In this way, Sapiens Company has extended its reach to various agricultural production areas.
In order to obtain foreign exchange, some regions have no choice but to make compromises.
In fact, Sapiens Company can produce these agricultural products by itself, but doing so will not be conducive to Sapiens Company's radiating influence to other regions.
Making regions dependent on Sapiens companies is one strategy.
Of course, supporting local industries does not mean that Sapiens will completely abandon the industry. On the contrary, Sapiens will pay more attention to protecting its own industrial chain.
For example, supporting a large number of organic farms and plantations in the Far East is aimed at encouraging farmers there to grow cash crops rather than food.
The sinister intentions of the Intelligent Company are almost an open conspiracy.
As long as the region needs foreign exchange, it will have to make compromises in industry.
The so-called organic agriculture is to produce , which means that its unit output will be relatively small and a large amount of organic fertilizer is required. Now Homo sapiens is the world's largest producer of organic fertilizer.
These interconnected means will continue to deepen the influence of Homo sapiens in various fields.
The large number of agricultural product purchasing centers established by House of Abundance in the Far East require farms and plantations to have organic certification.
In order to obtain money and foreign exchange, many capital forces have entered the field and enclosed land in various agricultural areas to engage in organic farming.
Although there is no way to purchase land and farmland, the Intelligent Company has plenty of ways. Using money and foreign exchange to induce farmers to plant cash crops is an important means.
For example, in South Asia at that time, the Homo Sapiens Company cooperated with large farmers, inducing them to plant various cash crops. At the same time, it dumped grain to India at low prices, thereby suppressing India's grain planting scale, making India's food gap increasingly larger and increasingly dependent on the Homo Sapiens Company.
Could it be that Bodhidharma and other Indian elites could not see this kind of behavior?
No! They know it perfectly well.
But they were powerless to resist, because India's food gap would only get bigger in the future. To ensure food self-sufficiency, they had to give up growing cash crops.
There is only one way to get farmers to give up growing cash crops and switch to growing food crops, and that is to issue large subsidies.
The question is whether India has the ability to provide large subsidies?
The answer is obvious.
Homo sapiens Company can use money to subsidize farmers to grow cash crops because it is very wealthy.
India has no industry, no minerals, no technology, and because of its large population, it is difficult to be self-sufficient in food.
How did Bodhidharma fight against the wise men? Willpower?
This is the fatal weakness of regions with large populations and backward economies. As long as they cannot be self-sufficient in food and need to develop the economy, they can only compromise with Homo sapiens.
