Chapter 589 – Did You Understand?
It becomes a national topic.
Korean Newspaper− 「Youth return to farming, was it a nuisance to existing farmers? Growing conflict”
Fact News− 「Farmers protest at food market headquarters… Young people returning to farming group “Fire Back”
Daily News−「Confrontation between young people and middle-aged people… “Generation conflict” Spread to rural areas”
Farmers.
I’m not sure, but they say it’s difficult anyway.
I have no choice but to help.
What about food sovereignty?
A natural disaster or something.
It got to the point where scabs formed on my ears.
“I’ve heard a lot of stories about farmers having a hard time. But why is this incident so special?”
It’s a little different.
The media was also taken aback by the sudden topic.
Want money?
What do you want me to buy you?
It was no different whining than usual.
“The incident began with broiler farms. The main profit of broiler farms is raw chickens supplied to the chicken industry, but there are signs that new farms are raising chickens.”
“A new farmhouse?”
“It means we have a competitor!”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Competition.
It’s a very unfamiliar word.
Korean farmers do not have to go through this.
Why?
Because there is no one doing it.
It is safe to say that it enjoys a monopoly in the market.
〈♪♬♪∼♪∼♬♪♬∼♬♪∼♩♪∼♩♬♪∼〉
It has become a thing of the past.
Screen of transmitted data.
Young people returning to farming has recently become an issue in the public eye.
“Young people returning to farming?”
“Why is that a problem…”
“As the number of young people returning to farming increases, the price of agricultural and livestock products grown by existing farmers seems to have fallen.”
“”Ah~!””
There is a craze.
It often appears on TV.
No one thought it would have side effects.
Square! Square!
Existing farmers are desperate.
Regardless of means or methods.
To achieve their goals.
〈 Broiler farmers are angry! CEO Lee Chan-wook, be prepared! 〉
They are protesting by shaving their heads.
Although it is a sight that conveys the seriousness of the situation at a glance.
〈 Youth farmers were excited! CEO Lee Chan-wook, keep going! 〉
Right next door.
Similar protests take place.
The purpose was just 180 degrees different.
“What kind of situation is this…?”
“Both sides are shaving their heads, but the purpose of the protest seems to be slightly different.”
“The situation has become complicated.”
Existing farmers are opposed.
Young farmers agree.
They competed against each other.
The data screen is sent again.
This time, it was a hunger strike that politicians are notorious for frequently engaging in.
〈 Everyone, look! This person has not been able to eat food for a week now because of the food market! 〉
〈We don’t even drink water!〉
It must create a serious atmosphere.
It is normal to be concerned about an elderly person who seems to be out of breath at any moment.
Right next door.
The same scene happens again.
Young farmers are also on hunger strike.
“While the Food Market’s new project, the Young Return to Farming Project, is met with antipathy from existing farmers, it is receiving enthusiastic support from young returning farmers. That is why this extreme contrast is presumed to be occurring.”
Farmers are protesting?
Anyway, justice will be there.
That was the trend until now.
Citizens’ reactions change.
Farmer to farmer.
It only looks like a fight over food.
‘…’
Such a situation.
Heo Yuk-gye, chairman of Haram Group, cannot help but be dumbfounded.
“It’s all messed up because of the youth protests!”
“No, what are you doing…”
“Chairman Huh! You have a next plan, right?”
It’s a cheat.
It caused even large companies whose names you might recognize, such as Ohsung, Helji, and Kolde, to leave with trembling hands and feet.
‘What kind of bullshit is this!’
This is what you want to say.
An unimaginable situation happened.
Young farmers.
He took Lee Chan-wook’s side.
Their advantage has disappeared.
Next plan?
It can’t happen.
A person who is addicted to using cheats and winning.
“Are you the only one giving me away? The presidents should also use their strength!”
“It’s a protest, we mobilized too…”
“You said that with such confidence, but then you laughed.”
“What?!”
General method.
I couldn’t have thought about backwards compatibility anyway.
The same goes for other presidents.
The farmers in charge put up a shield.
‘What happens if we protest against each other like this?’
‘Something that could be called a different method.’
‘MZ guys again!’
The socially underprivileged.
Hiding behind that shield, he has accumulated metallurgy wealth.
What if it breaks?
An ending that is difficult to imagine, or rather, unpleasant to imagine, is expected.
“Anyway, we need to fan the flames of protest. We need to bring as many farmers to the scene as possible and lobby the media and politicians. Then… Eventually, public opinion will recognize the seriousness of the situation.”
Their cartel collapses.
A tower that took decades of effort that even large corporations could not shake.
‘No way.’
It can’t happen.
It can’t happen.
I tried everything I could.
* * *
Offense is the best defense.
This also applies to public opinion.
“Young farmers and middle-aged farmers are divided and fighting. A really unfortunate situation is happening…”
Politicians are not shameless for no reason.
Because it is an effective strategy.
‘It obscures the essence.’
What’s going on?
Why are we fighting?
Which one is correct?
It becomes difficult to make judgments.
Good and evil.
It is not easily divided.
“When agricultural prices plummet due to excessive competition, both parties ultimately suffer losses. Don’t you bear some responsibility for hastily expanding your business?”
“I don’t think so.”
“So… Are you going?”
Such a situation.
There can only be one criterion for people to choose.
‘Who benefits me?’
That side also has its flaws.
There is something wrong with this too.
No matter who you pick, that person is that person.
That’s why the political world is always a mess.
Even if you say bullshit, if it’s profitable, I’ll film it.
“Can’t prices just plummet?”
“Yes?”
“Is it really not possible for us to eat one serving of pork belly for 5,000 won and one serving of Korean beef for 10,000 won?”
Aiming for the same situation.
It makes me want to take the side of young farmers.
‘Honestly, I’m not interested.’
Farming or not, Alphano?
Even as times change, it has changed five or six more times.
“Don’t leave any food behind! Each grain of rice is the blood and sweat of a farmer grandfather… 」− An old teacher who told us not to leave food behind
When the machine starts whistling, it falls down.
That is modern farming.
“If they sell like that, the farmers will have nothing left…”
“I heard that the more you sell, the more you lose, right?”
“That is the biggest misunderstanding.”
Land the size of your palm.
A small tractor.
A country where farming is like playing house.
‘There is only Korea.’
Even underdeveloped countries don’t farm like that.
It is not enough to say that it is the limit of inefficiency.
“Because domestic products are expensive, people look for imported products to eat them. In milk alone, the share of imported products exceeded 50% in just a few years.”
It is natural for food prices to rise.
Because I’m so bad at farming.
‘While the world is developing.’
Competitiveness is gradually decreasing.
Tariff barriers and government support no longer worked.
“Imported sterilized milk is hot these days!”
“The price was cheap.”
“Yes, if the price of domestic products becomes cheaper, they will not lose to imported products. As consumption increases, the related market will also expand.”
This is the current state of the domestic agricultural and livestock industry.
If market share and sales volume continue to decrease.
‘They’re coming out to whine to save the farmers.’
Farmers also have something to say.
Distributors try not to take any losses.
There are a lot of things to eat.
Their profits are small.
To listen to such whining.
“This is why we need to achieve economies of scale and lower prices. The first step is being blocked. People who are satisfied with the status quo are rejecting change and innovation.”
It’s a trick.
They are paying the price for refusing competition and relying only on government support.
‘You have to completely change it once.’
Those who have grown that old.
They do not try to change the way they have lived.
At the expense of others.
I’m slowly getting tired of it.
“One serving of pork belly is 5,000 won, and one serving of Korean beef is 10,000 won…”
“How can it be that cheap?”
“I’ve already achieved 10,000 won for chicken. I can do other things as well if I’m given the time and opportunity.”
“”Oh!””
Even if the price is high, it is too high.
The burden on the common people is increasing day by day.
‘If there is a way to resolve that complaint.’
If there is no moral problem.
I am willing to cast my precious vote.
Match! Match! Mate!
How to manipulate public opinion.
It’s simple because we have what we’ve accumulated so far.
I can’t be satisfied with that much.
Business expansion is just beginning.
“Your intentions for the business are really great, but right now the farmers must be suffering. On the one hand, I can understand those who are protesting.”
Broadcasting MC.
We are going to end on a warm note.
There is such a thing as a broadcasting company’s position.
The intention may be to remain neutral.
“I don’t think so.”
“Yes?”
“Shouldn’t they be harmed?”
“…?!!”
It shouldn’t end so abruptly.
A watered-down conclusion is a rejection.
‘It’s not worth taking sides.’
The counterattack was a success.
Now it’s time to burn down the opposing camp.
Kindling for that.
It is already burning red in the world.
“Currently, self-employed people are suffering double hardship due to the coronavirus and rising prices. But why aren’t farmers giving up anything? Do they have to harass consumers while receiving support from everything from the government?”
Dissatisfaction.
It is an all-purpose fuel that can make anything burn brightly.
‘You want to blame others.’
Cast split.
