Silicon Valley

A week later, leaders of 15 "Wei Yuan" system countries gathered at Williams Royal Palace.

In the resplendent hall, Henry spoke: "First of all, welcome everyone. This time, our 15 countries that have joined the 'Weiyuan' system are gathered together, and the purpose is to solve the food problem!"

Henry looked around them, and said lightly: "The combined population of 15 countries is four to five billion people, and more than half of them suffer from hunger. Although the Williams Empire can provide food, but It’s not enough to eat! Therefore, instead of importing food, it’s better for everyone to rely on themselves and produce for themselves!”

The leader of the Democratic Republic of Congo couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty Williams, you know the situation in our country. Agriculture is developing slowly, and it is very difficult to be self-sufficient!"

"I know this, so Williams Empire is willing to cooperate with you to vigorously develop modern agriculture and increase food production!" Henry said slowly, "Only good seeds can grow good crops! Everyone must have heard of Monsanto Well, it is the world’s largest and most technologically advanced genetically modified seed production company. Monsanto has developed four genetically modified crop seeds that are very suitable for planting in African countries according to the special conditions of African countries, including sweet potatoes, soybeans, corn, Peanuts. If countries plant these four kinds of genetically modified seeds, the harvest will be two to three times that of before. And at the same time, if Monsanto provides countries with the 'Jinkela' agricultural fertilizer additive, the food production can be further increased!" Henry Speaking of the latter, I can't help but spoof, the San Diego Agricultural Group of the United States will not launch this "advanced technology to save the world's agriculture" - "Jinkela" until 2007, so Henry used the name first.

Africa's agriculture is underdeveloped, so there must be gold!

Henry secretly laughed in his heart. The advertisement of "Jinkela" in his previous life was extremely shocking. However, this Jin Kela is not that Jin Kela, it is completely genuine, and no one can deceive anyone. Furthermore, Henry did not exaggerate and brag, he only said that it can increase food production!

At this time, Henry continued: "With genetically modified seeds and Jinkela fertilizer, the agriculture of various countries will definitely develop quickly! However, considering the economic difficulties of various countries, I propose a cooperation plan here! Seeds and Fertilizers can be given to farmers from all over the world for free, but these farmers must sign an agreement, that is, during the contract period, one-third of the grain harvest will be owned by the Williams Empire! In fact, it means that the Williams Empire employs these farmers Working on their own land, their annual salary is two-thirds of the food!" Henry paused, then smiled: "With this kind of cooperation, farmers don't need to take any risks, and the more food they produce, the more they will earn more!"

An Ethiopian president raised his hand and asked, "Your Majesty Williams, how long is the contract period?" Monsanto is well-known in the industry and is a giant of grain seeds. Therefore, no one doubts the quality of Monsanto's products.

"10 years!" Henry said, spreading 10 fingers.

The 14 presidents looked at each other and discussed in low voices.

"Is 10 years too long?"

"Yeah, I think it's too long!"

"..."

The President of Mozambique said to Henry at this time: "Your Majesty Williams, we all feel that 10 years is too long, and 5 years is more appropriate. After 5 years, we can consider the issue of renewal!"

Henry squinted and smiled. Henry knew what their plans were. It was nothing more than the development of the economy and agriculture in the future, and they wanted to own one-third of the harvest.

"Okay, no problem!" Henry answered very readily. Even if the contract is not renewed in the future, seeds and fertilizers will always be needed. Used to Monsanto's genetically modified seeds and fertilizers, farmers will naturally be more inclined to Monsanto's products. In the past five years, it is actually equivalent to cultivating users.

In this part of Africa, there is little arable land and few plains, and the farms have not formed a scale, and most of them are allocated some farmland to each household. It would be too troublesome for Henry to send someone to acquire these farmlands. One piece of land in the east and one piece in the west would be difficult to manage. The cooperation method proposed by Henry now saves worry and effort, and also promotes the product. The higher the grain output, the higher the farmers' income, so the farmers' enthusiasm for work is also higher. One is to work for others, and the other is to work for oneself, which are obviously different. Of course, if the location is better and the farmland can be connected together to form a relatively large farm, then Henry will buy it and hire workers to produce it to provide food for the growing population of the Williams Empire in the future. After all, now only 5-year contracts are signed with farmers from various countries, and the situation after 5 years is still unknown. Henry still has to buy some farms in various African countries to be prepared.

Seeing that Henry agreed so readily, the leaders of the 14 countries showed smiles on their faces. For them, this kind of cooperation is a steady profit. For the Williams Empire, it is also making money, and everyone wins!

"Presidents, as for the signing of contracts with farmers, the governments of various countries must connect and cooperate!"

"No problem!" 14 people nodded and said!

Henry smiled and said, "Okay then, let's sign the memorandum now and then hold a press conference!"

"it is good!"

...

In the evening, the 15 countries jointly held a press conference. At the press conference, Henry announced the food cooperation plan of the 15 countries, which caused an uproar.

The next day, global food prices plummeted instantly.

The four major grain merchants were speechless. Before Henry sent a large amount of grain to Africa, which caused a global food shortage and skyrocketed food prices, the four major grain merchants made a fortune. But now, Henry Williams wants to increase food production in Africa and lower food prices, how can he make money?

Food-deficient countries all over the world cheered. They may have cheered a little too early, though.

While Africa's food production is increasing, the African population is also skyrocketing! Therefore, even increasing food production may not necessarily solve the global food crisis. Children in Africa are very aggressive, and a woman has an average of 4 children in her lifetime. It's just that there are too many children to feed them, and millions of people starve to death every year alone. Taking the Williams Empire alone as an example, the number of newborn babies in 2005 was 7.48 million. According to the survey and statistics of the Ministry of Family Planning, it is estimated that in 2006, the number of babies born in the Williams Empire will even exceed 10 million! At present, the permanent population of the Williams Empire is as high as 98.31 million, of which 45.63 million citizens have the nationality of the Williams Empire, accounting for half of the total population. There are a lot of migrant workers abroad, but it won't take long for them to apply for the citizenship of the Williams Empire, enjoy super high benefits here, and don't want to go back to their own country. At the same time, they will also take their relatives over. This in turn increased the population of the Williams Empire.

The larger the population of the Williams Empire, the more children it will have. You know, the Williams Empire encourages having children, and Henry even plans to increase the population of the empire to more than 500 million! This is true of the Williams Empire, let alone other African countries. As far as Henry knows, the populations of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and Malawi, which were the first to join the "Weiyuan" system, are all experiencing explosive growth. The population of the 10 countries that will be added later will definitely increase dramatically.

If there are no world wars, biochemical crises and the like, the population on the earth will only increase. However, the arable land is limited, the output is limited, and the food crisis still cannot be well resolved. But, fortunately, Henry has already planned for the rainy day, has a plan to emigrate to the planet, and is still actively researching the cultivation of space plants...
