Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 530 Taking Over Joint Defense
Old Smith sat in front of his computer, staring at the European financial market analysis chart on the screen, lighting a cigarette with a worried expression.

The influence of Sanyuan Agriculture in Europe is beyond everyone's imagination.

The reasons for this are twofold. First, Yu Sanyuan first collaborated with Morgan to jointly combat European Judaism, thereby securing European market access for Sanyuan Agriculture and establishing the European Shili Mall.

Secondly, Sanyuan Agriculture collaborated with European Jewish businesses, including the Walton, Warburg, and Wallenberg families, thereby expanding the market share of its three industries in Europe.

Third, Sanyuan Agriculture has partnered with European authorities, including Royal Capital of England, Renault/Airbus/Dassault of France, German automakers and high-precision companies (Volkswagen, BMW, Zeiss), etc., to further cultivate the European market.

Fourth, the three-element agricultural aid to the EU established more than 300 collective farms and factories, helped complete the EU's Galileo Starlink, and improved the EU's nuclear energy industry, thereby establishing the political foundation of the three-element industry in Europe.

It can be said that Yu Sanyuan used five years and a four-step plan to enable Sanyuan Agriculture to gain a foothold in Europe.

Even if Walton Jr. sidelined Zahi Warburg and took control of the EU's development, the Walton family would not dare to easily take action against the three industries, at most restricting the quantity of three products entering Europe.

Against this backdrop.

In recent years, federal capital has undergone many unexpected changes due to various incentives.

For example, the rise of Tijuana Group.

For example, Old Bu retreated to Texas.

For example, the Smith family acquired a large number of physical assets.

For example, the world has entered the era of network information.

This resulted in J.P. Morgan remaining the pinnacle of the federal government, wielding power in finance and military affairs, and controlling international telegraph, NUS cable, North American Postal Service, and CNN, among other media outlets.

However, in the financial sector, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase focus on international investment and cross-border settlements, and their influence in the financial market is not as strong as that of the Smith family.

Armaments – General Electric and General Dynamics, influenced by the Pentagon's influence, have orders and production volumes that lag behind Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, Carlisle Group, and Tijuana Group.

Meanwhile, traditional communication tools like telephones, telegraphs, and cable television have seen their market share plummet due to the impact of global internet and information technology. They are far less competitive than the internet, 3D communication networks, various forums and blogs, and the newly emerging Facebook and 3D social media platforms…

This has led to increasingly serious conflicts between the old and new capital within the federal capital system.

In order to remain at the top of the pyramid, J.P. Morgan instructed the Morgan Group to restrict the Smith family's development.

In order to cooperate and control the oil industry, the oil tycoon secretly suppressed the Brooks family.

In order to gain room for survival, the Smith family took advantage of Mrs. Smith's death to trap European Judeans in the North American financial market, thereby proving to J.P. Morgan that they were loyal to the Union.

However, having thoroughly studied classic Eastern literature, Lao Shi deeply understood that when the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; when the high-flying bird is gone, the good bow is put away.

Although the Smith family had secured European Judea, they could not be wiped out too quickly, otherwise old Morgan would discard them after they had served their purpose.

Just like Yu Sanyuan's cooperation with Morgan, with the fat man's abilities, he could definitely have dealt a heavy blow to European Judaism. However, in order to get more benefits from Morgan, Yu Sanyuan only eliminated a group of peripheral members, such as the head of the Wallenberg family and the old Walton who could be replaced by the younger Walton.

Therefore, the strength of Judea in Europe was not diminished.

For example, Walmart remains the world's number one company.

In order to quickly increase his strength, Old Smith took the opportunity to infiltrate European Judeo and EU capital, that is, to launch a counterattack on the European financial market.

At the same time, in order to have both finance on one hand and military equipment on the other, it also frantically acquired or invested in European military enterprises.

Including EADS, AVIC England, Leonardo (Italy), Saab (Sweden), Rheinmetall (Germany)...

Then, through these companies, they can gradually encroach on the military-industrial complex.

For example, the acquisition of United Defense.

Old Smith was certain that, after going through such a long and complicated process, Yu Sanyuan would never guess who was behind the hijacking.

Unexpectedly, they overlooked the fact that "there are only a handful of major players globally who dare to acquire United Defense."

East, North America, Ice Bear, France, England.

If we break it down to the composition of power:
The higher-ups in the East couldn't buy it because the government officials wouldn't agree.

Ice Bear's official website dared not buy it because they were worried about wasting their money;
European Judeocrats dared not buy because they were in opposition to federal capital;

The Ice Bear oligarchs dared not buy, because Yu Sanyuan would eliminate them;

The oil tycoon wasn't interested because he already owned Martin and Raytheon.

The Morgan consortium was not interested because they already owned General Electric and General Dynamics.

Old Bu is the seller.

At this point, who else could be the Smith family, who dominates the democratic faction, besides the Smith family, who wanted to buy the property, intercept it, and instruct the North American judicial system?

Therefore, relying on the influence of Sanyuan Agriculture in Europe and Africa, Yu Sanyuan precisely targeted European military enterprises controlled and invested in by the Smith family, including the weapons provided by North American United Defense.

This also caused the situation for both sides to change overnight, with the offensive and defensive positions shifting dramatically.

The Smith family's influence in Europe, including its euro holdings and the scale of its physical businesses, is far less than that of Sanyuan Agriculture.

If the Smith family still wants the European financial markets, then they will have no choice but to give up their attempt to hijack the deal and hand over the Joint Defense program.

Alternatively, they could abandon the European financial market and acquire United Defense as soon as possible.

For old Smith, the financial market was the foundation of his business, but there were plenty of military enterprises.

Therefore, in order to benefit the European financial market, it had no choice but to make concessions to Sanyuan Agriculture.

However, Yu the bandit is never one to let things go when he's in the right. Being inexplicably outmaneuvered, this matter is clearly not going to end easily.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, old Smith decided to buy United Defense and then sell it to Trinity Agriculture.

This is also the result Yu Sanyuan wanted; otherwise, he wouldn't have lowered the joint defense offer to $12 billion.

"What a big loss!"

Old Smith lit his pipe and took a deep drag.

When Romney was acting as the oil tycoon's agent, in order to acquire a 20% stake in Titan Corporation and help the oil tycoon compete with the Brooks family, he offered to sell United Defense to Yu Sanyuan.

Yu Sanyuan readily agreed, but because the Sanxi Group was an Eastern company and United Defense was a North American light weapons contractor, the acquisition process was fraught with difficulties, which delayed the acquisition plan from mid-May to October.

Compared to how big capital can reach a deal in just a few words, this matter seems exceptionally slow.

This led old Smith to suspect that his involvement in the acquisition of United Defense was a deliberate act by Yu Sanyuan.

Like now.

If the Smith family were to acquire United Defense, whether through a North American company or through England Aerospace Systems, there would be no opposition.

Assuming the acquisition by England Aerospace Systems is successful, and then United Defence is sold to Yu Sanyuan at a low price, there will be no opposition.

Furthermore, Yu Sanyuan bought it at a low price, saving money in the process.

"Not only did we suffer a huge loss, but it seems we also fell into a trap."

Old Smith became increasingly distressed as he thought about it.

His assistant couldn't help but say, "Sir, Yu Sanyuan destroyed Bradley and other tanks, so the Pentagon definitely needs to replenish its forces. We acquired United Defense, and we can take advantage of the Pentagon's numerous orders to drive up United Defense's stock price. Once we've made a large profit to make up for the losses, we can then sell United Defense to Yu Sanyuan."

"The owner of the White House is George W. Bush, the Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is one of George H.W. Bush's men, and most of the generals in the Pentagon also come from the military-industrial complex. If we acquire United Defense, they won't give us many orders, so we can't manipulate the stock."

"The problem is that light armor such as the M2 and M3 is the standard equipment currently in service in North America and is irreplaceable. At present, the only company that can produce these light armors and provide supporting equipment is United Defense. Although the three-series high-performance Bradley is good, it is not manufactured in North America. The Pentagon has no other choice."

"You're oversimplifying things. The Sanyuan Heavy Industry has the capability to replicate. Yu Sanyuan dismantled the old Sanyuan Heavy Industry and packaged it in batches to send to the EU. Companies that receive the equipment can also produce equipment for United Defense."

Furthermore, sourcing from Europe aligns with the global procurement strategy driven by federal capital.

Most importantly, prices in the EU are similar to those in North America. For example, the base cost of the M2 infantry fighting vehicle is around $80 for both sides, with a quoted price of $120 million.

However, the EU uses a three-tier supply chain, which would result in a lower base price of approximately $30.

If the purchase price of the Pentagon remains unchanged at 120 million, the profit for the US version of the M2 is about 40, while the profit for the European version can reach 90.

Previously, those responsible for procuring M2 infantry fighting vehicles, including the military and members of Congress, could only share a maximum of $40; now they can share $90. Do you think they still care that 'only North American Joint Defense can produce the M2'?
They might create a European joint defense and then transfer the relevant patents there.

At that point, Yu Sanyuan won't need to acquire United Defense, and he'll resent us for intercepting the deal; Old Bush's shell company will be stuck in his hands and he'll resent us for intercepting the deal; Morgan, seeing Yu Sanyuan and Old Bush targeting us, will definitely kick us while we're down; the oil tycoon, seeing all three involved, won't miss this golden opportunity to divide up the financial market; and Judeon, seeing us being ganged up on, will certainly try every means to extricate themselves from this predicament…

That's how the global capital landscape works; we're all interconnected. If given the chance to weed out the parasites clinging to us, they won't hesitate.

We're walking on thin ice!

Old Smith took a deep drag on his pipe, pondered for a long time while exhaling smoke, and then contacted Old Brooks.

“Sell United Defense to me for $30 billion.”

"You're thinking shit."

"31."

"I won't sell for less than 52 billion. I'll just wait and see if you get crushed by Yu Sanyuan!"

···
October 2nd, Eastern Time.

Major news that has shocked the defense industry has emerged from Europe.

England Aero Systems, Europe’s largest arms contractor, has successfully acquired United Defence, a North American light weapons contractor, for US$52 billion.

England Aerospace Systems has become the world's third largest defense contractor.

The European Aeronautical Defence and Space Company (EADS), which holds an 80% stake in England Aero Systems, emerged as the big winner.

The company behind FADEC also monopolizes the supply of light weapons to NATO.

Suddenly, European stocks related to the military industry surged across the board.

The day before, by using force to attack the aforementioned companies' military equipment, and by snapping up European military stocks in an attempt to compete with Old Smith for the three industries in the European financial market, he took the opportunity to sell his stocks and became the real big winner in this event.

Old Smith also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go long, but unfortunately he didn't have enough euros and couldn't compete with the 3 Series at all.

Hearing about the changes in the European financial market, I was so angry my nose almost crooked.

"You're a global grain trader, what are you doing investing in stocks?!"

...

"Nobody knows more about stocks than me."

Yu Yang woke up in a hotel on the outer third ring road and saw that almost all of his family's investments in Europe had made a fortune, making him even more grateful to Old Smith.

Although the lady has passed away, the top dog is still from the Smith family.

This is a true fan of the three-series!
However, in the future, there will be someone even more adept at stock trading who has almost completely mastered the art of manipulating tariffs.

We should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and strive to learn from the other side as soon as possible.

9 o'clock in the morning.

After having breakfast with Fan Tao.

Yang Rong called again.

"Boss, Old Smith contacted me and said we should pay 12 billion US dollars to England Aerospace Systems as soon as possible to take over North American Joint Defense."

“If the three companies acquire North American Joint Defense, it will be difficult for them to snatch orders from the Pentagon in the future, and it will also be difficult for them to do business with NATO. It would be better to contact Alessandro, the leader of the Italian Democratic Socialist Party, and have him find an Italian company to hold a controlling stake in North American Joint Defense. In the future, North American Joint Defense will be responsible for operation, the Italian company will be responsible for production, and we will be responsible for providing technology and materials and enjoying the profits.”

"Ok."

Yu Yang handed over the joint defense to Yang Rong, hung up the phone, pondered for a moment, and then ordered Xin Sanyuan Heavy Industry to transfer a batch of light weaponry technology to Alessandro for the purpose of establishing the Italian Joint Defense R&D Department and improving the competitiveness of North American Joint Defense in the military industry market.

After I finish my work, I'll casually browse the forums.

Their own actions couldn't be hidden from big capital.

Old Smith, who was both a bystander and a victim of a controversy, once again propelled the feud between the three women to its peak.

such as:

North American Democratic Congressman Charles believes that Triple Agriculture illegally holds Peace World shares and that the company should be destroyed within 30 days under global supervision.

The Shiliying Subdistrict Office gave its approval and decided to destroy approximately 56 Peace World tokens from the three systems on the Japanese island.

The Japanese islands refused to accept this.

such as:

Jordan, head of the North American Democratic Faction Committee, called for North America to rejoin the Asia-Pacific region and reduce its reliance on tri-line products.

The Shiliying Subdistrict Office gave its approval and decided to cancel all orders for toilet paper, wet wipes, facial tissues, and kitchen paper towels from North America.

The people of North America are not having it.

Some people even complained on the forum: "Without paper, I'd rather die than be an Indian."

The Indians felt humiliated, and hundreds of millions of netizens flooded Yahoo, angrily cursing the people of North America for being dirty.

India issued an official statement overnight: We absolutely do not have hundreds of millions of netizens, at most 20 million!

Yu Sanyuan asked in bewilderment: "In this age of the internet and information, is your family so backward?"

Third Brother: "..."

With a wave of his hand, Yu Sanyuan donated 200 million Bawang all-in-one PCs that could play simulation games of immortal cultivation to his third brother.

The Indian guy was overjoyed: North America is so dirty!

North America:"…"

After watching the entertainment, Yu Yang browsed the technology section of Sanyuan Communication Network.

Thanks to the surge in talent, we have been able to reinterpret some things that were previously inexplicable.

For example, radar waves can irradiate vegetation and promote its growth.

Originally intended to mislead the West, this led to the development of ultrasound therapy devices after a series of studies.

This device can use the energy carried by sound waves to crush cancer cells before proceeding with further treatment for the patient.

The challenge of cancer treatment lies not in identifying known cancer cells, but in finding unknown cells that have spread and are hidden.

However, during the treatment of cancer patients, their physical functions deteriorate significantly. Compared with surgical removal of cancer cells, laser cutting of cancer cells, and chemotherapy, ultrasound therapy can be almost harmless.

Therefore, it is a new generation of miraculous anti-cancer agent.

However, its use is subject to many limitations. After all, sometimes human organs can conceal cancerous areas. How to allow high-energy sound waves to pass through normal organs and destroy cancer cells without damaging them has become a research topic for the future.

Similarly, ultrasound therapy devices can also treat plant diseases and improve plant growth.

Yu Yang was halfway through reading when he suddenly received a call from the leader of the Ice Bears.

The other side recently became closer to North America again, which was publicly criticized by the Communist Party of China faction in the United States. Even the oligarchs in the United States secretly made some moves.

This ultimately led to the Ice Bear leader coming down.

Yeah, he's not the general manager anymore.

Yu Yang felt a sense of schadenfreude about this.

However, the leader of the Ice Bear faction still holds the support rate, and if the Communist C faction doesn't cause trouble, he might rise again in the next election.

Yu Yang pondered for a moment, then pressed the answer button.
