Chapter 795 – Old Street
Pod.
In one word, politics can be said to be ‘the answer’.
The answer is fixed.
All you have to do is answer.
I was trying to push it like that.
“Harvest is still in progress, but it will be completed within a month at the latest. If this is released to the market, it will not only reduce the deficit in the agricultural and food trade balance, but also make significant progress in domestic production.”
Something beyond imagination happens.
Presidential Chief of Staff Jang Jae-woo is embarrassed.
I am listening to Lee Chan-wook’s explanation.
About the business carried out by the food market.
‘What on earth have you done? The previous government!!’
No, I knew.
As soon as I took power, I checked it first.
The contents.
The difference in scale between what you see on paper and reality.
Shaaaaa—!
It was enormous.
I couldn’t even get a sense of it until I saw it.
“Everything from here to there?”
“No. At least the back, back, and back mountains are all farmland.”
“”?!””
‘Only the ones in this area.’
For people who have lived in Korea all their lives, this is a farmland of a size that is unheard of.
‘I can’t believe they gave permission for something of this size…’
Corporate farming.
In principle, it is impossible.
This is because of the principle of Gyeongyujeon.
It is like a ghost that arose in 1945 immediately after liberation.
I’m holding on to my ankle.
“This… You gave permission?”
“Yes.”
“What about residents’ opposition? What about local politicians?”
Solved it.
There is a strong possibility that some kind of deal was made with the previous government.
‘If you think about Kakao’s precedent.’
It’s worth it.
Cacao Bank was approved, ignoring the separation of banking and commerce.
However, corporate farming is on a different level.
It’s not like there haven’t been attempts.
Korean Newspaper− 「West Farm Hannong “With tears in my eyes, Hwayong glass greenhouse project is suspended”」
Fact News− 「Withdrawal of smart farm business… ‘Final decision taking into account farmers’ opposition’
It has been consistent since 2010.
Large investments by some companies.
“There were problems in the early stages. Now they have been gently adjusted. Relations with local politicians are also smooth.”
I failed every time.
It faced opposition from farmers and politicians.
‘How on earth can you do that?’
It’s an invincibility cheat.
When farmers protest, it is impossible not to attract aggro.
Politicians have more.
Because it is a rice field, it is managed with great care.
“Is it sustainable?”
“Unless something special suddenly happens.”
“Uhm…”
It surpassed that.
We have reached the settlement stage.
The meaning is.
‘I thought it was just a sales inflating company like Kakao.’
It touches me more because he follows the party.
In fact, corporate farming is the ruling party’s long-cherished project.
What if prices drop?
Not only the approval rating, but also monetary policy becomes easier to implement.
“Still, if we produce this much, it will have an impact on the agricultural and marine products market…”
“No.”
“What?”
“I can’t say it’s zero, but we’re really paying special attention to minimizing it. For example, the wheat fields you see over there.”
National finances also improve.
Taxes paid to farmers can be reduced.
‘It was a lot different from what I had planned.’
Jaewoo Jang is lost in thought.
It’s not something he can decide on his own.
But what you are seeing.
What Lee Chan-wook achieved.
To make something that never happened.
“Korea’s wheat self-sufficiency rate is only 1%. It has nothing to do with farmers’ profits. If this is replaced with domestically produced…”
Merit.
Even to an outsider, it is not just one, two, three or four things.
The Minister of Agriculture and Forestry who came with him nods his head.
The expression also looks serious.
“It will also help with food security.”
“Yes, we will be able to promote price stability even in this crisis situation.”
“But it won’t be easy to replace demand…”
“There is no problem because there is internal demand.”
I know about the food market.
Many famous franchises are affiliated with it.
What if you change to domestically produced?
You will be able to handle it.
Although the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry deserves to laugh.
Gulp!
The meaning.
Jaewoo Jang knows.
The reason the ruling party was trying to promote corporate agriculture in the first place.
‘Does everything from production to consumption?’
It is to boost the conglomerates.
When vertical integration occurs, the rate of return increases exponentially.
Even the power it exerts on the industry.
A single word can shake up the market.
“It’s not just wheat. The proportion of imported products such as kimchi, dairy products, and cooking oil is also increasing due to high prices. These can also be replaced with domestic products.”
It controls the Korean economy.
It was a calculation to use that power politically.
‘After only two years.’
I built an incredible company.
This is because the previous administration was giving it away like crazy.
It’s dangerous.
It can be a factor of anxiety.
It’s too late to just exclude it.
“However, due to the same issues you mentioned, we are limiting it to anything other than internal demand.”
“What do you mean?”
“If we release supply to the market, prices will go down. Farmers may be dissatisfied.”
A fire fell on my feet.
It is not a situation to distinguish between hot and cold water.
Prices.
‘It’s worth showing off your confidence.’
It is urgent.
This is because when the economy becomes unstable, the government is held responsible.
A card to catch it.
Just having it gives you more choices.
“If only that part is resolved, the government can think positively about it.”
“Are you making a promise?”
“Hehe, I am not in a position with such authority. But I will report it to Your Excellency…”
Lee Chan-wook.
Like Kakao, there is a possibility that it was attached to the previous government.
Sanctions must be imposed.
We must maintain discipline.
Hard-line measures are not the only answer.
“His Excellency thinks highly of you. He will definitely pursue this issue if the people want it.”
It is cooperative.
The president’s evaluation is also high.
The image at the dinner party was good.
‘At least for now.’
Accidents continue to occur both internally and externally.
Even the parts that can be stabilized must be stabilized.
What if you listen well?
There is no reason to touch it first.
Chief of Staff Jang Jae-woo thought that much.
* * *
Growth of the company.
There is something more important than making profits right away.
‘Warren Buffett says something that hurts my ears.’
An economic moat.
There is no alternative other than this company.
“As high prices continue, consumers’ willingness to substitute imported products is growing stronger. Looking at the current situation, it is obvious that farmers will be harmed.”
That’s how it is done.
The preferential treatment that came from working with the previous government.
‘Because I haven’t gone anywhere.’
Corporate farming was created.
In this time when we are groaning over old prices.
Negotiation power.
It is provided when the other person desperately needs something.
“So what? It’s going to fail anyway?”
“There’s nothing this bastard can’t say when he says let’s see!”
“You’re so young!”
It doesn’t exist.
There is no problem.
Nevertheless, he possesses great power.
‘Farmers.’
As long as you don’t complain, they will listen to you.
They are beings standing at the top of the sky.
“Take responsibility for our old age! Hire all your children too! I don’t want to lose even a single penny!”
It is worth making a bold request.
To them, it is natural.
Celestial dragon.
There is no more appropriate word to describe farmers.
—————————–±
『Farmers’ Organization Demands』
1. Priority hiring of full-time employees at the food market headquarters
2. Special additional points for children of farmers
3. Purchase existing agricultural products at a price higher than the market price
±——————————————–
They are making unreasonable demands.
Even if you just glance at it, it makes no sense.
“We promise to provide appropriate compensation to those who are confirmed to have suffered damage due to the crops we grow. Since it is the company’s fault, we must compensate.”
“Of course!”
“How rude!”
“You and I have different social statuses!”
The winner has already been decided.
Corporate farming.
Farmers are not in a position to refuse.
‘Still.’
It is impossible to prevent dissonance from occurring.
They will continue to make noise.
Why?
That’s all I’ve done in my life.
They fight until the government listens.
“However, what I want you to know is that our food market and farmers have a win-win relationship. The demand for domestic crops will increase rapidly in the future, but there are many crops that we cannot grow. If you take advantage of this opportunity, you can increase the profits of farmers. It could be of great help.”
This is because I have lived a life that excludes competition.
It’s clear that I’ll be like that until I die.
‘Because they are old people who will soon die.’
One way is to make concessions.
To get the business on track.
Antique price.
The government will continue to request cooperation.
Every time that happens.
“There were only a few people who were interested.”
“Leave it alone.”
“Can I do that?”
“They will follow suit only after hearing rumors that they made money later.”
The position of the food market is also strengthening.
An economic moat that cannot be replaced.
‘Because we have achieved near-perfect vertical integration.’
What if sanctions?
Domestic prices are rising to a noticeable level.
Faced with opposition from citizens.
It is the only thing above politicians.
“I think negotiation was the right answer. The government is also welcoming it. We sent a message saying that they will review it positively.”
I got it.
Future growth can be said to be solid.
‘It may not be that easy.’
Politician.
They are snubs.
Thoughts are never simple.
Hyeri’s report deserves to be long.
The reason for the positive answer.
“They say they want to set a date for specific negotiations. What’s the point? I wonder if it’s up to my brother to go.”
“What can I do?”
“?”
“Didn’t I tell you?”
Because there is something you want.
The intentions of politicians are all the same.
‘The only difference is in the method.’
Conservative regime.
I knew from the beginning the reason for trying to control prices.
