The emergence of bird flu, and the highly pathogenic bird flu that can infect humans in China, has an important and non-negligible influence on the price of soybeans in the international market!
For Fang Mingyuan, he didn't have any intuitive understanding of bird flu. In his memory, although bird flu seemed to occur in China every year, he didn't remember how many people died because of bird flu. Probably not as many people die from influenza every year.What left a deep impression on him was that once bird flu was diagnosed in a certain place, the local breeding industry would be in great trouble. A large number of birds were culled and destroyed regardless of whether they were infected with bird flu. Even pigeons are within the scope of culling.But in the capital, Fang Mingyuan's most intuitive memory was that he couldn't buy live chickens that were slaughtered on the spot!

The reason why people talk about bird flu is because it is extremely lethal to poultry, especially chickens. It can almost be said to be [-]% fatal, and the speed of infection is amazing!

In 98, there was an outbreak of bird flu in the Netherlands. The virus infected more than 90 chicken farms, causing tens of millions of chickens to be culled and destroyed, causing heavy economic losses.The outbreak also infected [-] local people and killed two men.Before that, as early as the late [-]s, some people in Hong Kong died of bird flu.

It will kill people, and the lethality to poultry is astonishing. People are worried that once the bird flu virus mutates and can infect humans, what will happen? Will it be like the one that swept the world in [-]? epidemic?I believe that as soon as this news comes out, everyone in the domestic breeding industry must be in danger.Whether it is people reducing the number of poultry, or the relevant departments will cull a large number of poultry that may be infected, this means an important result, that is, soybean meal will be unsalable!
Soybean meal is a by-product of soybean oil extraction, which can be used to make food and cosmetics, antibiotics, and is also the main raw material for livestock and poultry feed in many countries!Because the various amino acids contained in soybean meal are suitable for the nutritional needs of poultry and pigs.In the absence of additional animal protein, the amino acids contained in soybean meal are sufficient to balance the nutrition of poultry and pigs, thereby promoting the nutrient absorption of livestock.So more than 80.00% of soybean meal is used for poultry and pig feeding.

Soybean meal can also be used to feed dairy cows, beef cattle, and aquaculture. It can be said to be a staple food and protein feed that cannot be easily replaced.So soybean meal is also a very important futures trading product!
And if bird flu is found in China, the domestic demand for soybean meal will be greatly reduced, which will naturally affect the profits of those companies that purchase soybeans to extract soybean oil, thereby affecting the enthusiasm of these companies to purchase soybeans.

The discovery of mad cow disease in the United States is likely to cause the U.S. government to ban the use of meat and bone meal feed in the breeding industry, which is conducive to the sale of soybean meal, and avian flu suddenly emerged.This will curb the demand for soybean meal. Even Fang Mingyuan can't analyze what impact the two will have on the prices of soybean meal and soybeans in the international market in a short period of time.And this will definitely affect the operation of large sums of money in the futures market.This news caught them off guard.

"Okay, I'll let you know." Li Xintong said immediately, taking this opportunity to get rid of Zheng Jiayi's questioning.

"Avian flu happened? Where is it?" Zheng Jiayi was also taken aback, and asked quickly, praying in her heart that it must not be Hong Kong.

"The provinces adjacent to the mainland and Vietnam have just been confirmed." Fang Mingyuan frowned.I don't know if this bird flu will spread to Southeast Asia. If that's the case, it will be a disaster for those bastard countries in Vietnam.

Zheng Jiayi let out a sigh of relief, it was still some distance away from Hong Kong.Although that distance is nothing to migratory birds, but psychologically, it is more or less a comfort.

Fang Mingyuan turned to go back to the office.Zheng Jiayi stopped him, and asked in surprise, "What does the emergence of bird flu have to do with Yu Dongfeng?" Yu Dongfeng is in charge of financial investment.It wasn't prevented by the epidemic. She was also a curious baby.Fang Mingyuan explained to her concisely, and Zheng Jiayi was even more surprised. When did Fang Mingyuan start caring about soybeans again?

"Of course I have to be concerned. My family's farm in Brazil mainly grows soybeans, and the Carrefour Group now owns several oil mills, which also need raw materials. Moreover, thanks to the popularity of soybeans, the cargo ships of Guo's Shipping Group Co., Ltd. The freight rate from the United States to the mainland has risen by 70.00% [-]. You said, if the price of soybeans suddenly fluctuates sharply, how can I not care?" Fang Mingyuan said.The real reason is naturally difficult to say at this time. It is not because he is afraid that Zheng Jiayi will spread the word, but because he does not want to waste his time explaining why he judges that soybeans will have a big drop in the near future.

"Huh? It has increased so much?" Zheng Jiayi was surprised. In her impression, the cost of sea freight has been quite stable over the years. How could it have nearly doubled.However, this news is undoubtedly a good thing for Guo's Shipping Group Company.It has been actively purchasing ships, and its capacity has increased substantially over the years.But... this seems to be due to Fang Mingyuan's vigorous promotion.

"Well, there are a lot, and the supply capacity is already in short supply." Fang Mingyuan nodded.Once Huaxia's purchasing power is released, it will be terrifying.In terms of soybean purchases, the total purchases of other countries in the world may not be able to compare with China.In the next few years, it can be said that China's overseas demand has supported the rapid development of the shipping industry.Guo's Shipping Group has placed large orders with shipyards in China and South Korea, and continues to purchase supertankers, container ships and ultra-large bulk carriers, with the focus on ultra-large bulk carriers.

At the beginning, when Fang Mingyuan agreed to transfer the construction technology of the three major ships to several core shipyards in China, many people thought that Fang Mingyuan had made too much of a concession, but only now did he realize that the conditions Fang Mingyuan proposed back then were not applicable here. It has played a big role in a few years. These shipyards who had no money to pay the technology transfer fee had to agree to make a great contribution to the rapid expansion of Guo's Shipping Group's fleet at a price slightly higher than the cost price.Until now, these shipyards have still not paid off their old debts, and naturally it is impossible to place orders for such ships from overseas, which effectively prevents other overseas shipping companies from quickly ordering new ships from these shipyards in China. The idea of ​​expanding your own fleet.Guo's Shipping Group has not given up on mergers and acquisitions of other shipping companies. The equity of Thailand's Precitous Shipping Company has already started negotiations.At the same time, it is also joining the fleet of Guo's Shipping Group through leasing ships through internationally renowned ship leasing companies.

Zheng Jiayi nodded in understanding. If the demand for soybeans decreases, the cost of shipping will naturally decrease. It is not surprising that Fang Mingyuan had such a reaction.

"Hey, Mingyuan, what do you think about free travel in Hong Kong?" Seeing that Fang Mingyuan intended to return to the office, Zheng Jiayi couldn't help calling him back, "The travel agency is also your company!"

Fang Mingyuan stopped in his tracks. He knew that Hong Kong's free travel was approved. This was the Hong Kong government's efforts to stimulate Hong Kong's tourism industry, which was hit hard by the epidemic, and hoped to revive Hong Kong's economy with the help of the huge domestic tourism market. .It's just that this matter has little to do with the industries under the Fang family, so he put it aside after hearing about it.Zheng Jiayi suddenly asked, but he couldn't refuse.

Fang Mingyuan sat down, pondered for a moment and said: "Freedom of travel, this policy, from the current point of view, definitely does more good than harm to Hong Kong's economy, but in the long run, there will definitely be some side effects. Hong Kong should have enough Mentally prepared, if the number of independent travelers is not controlled, and Hong Kong's reception capacity cannot be effectively improved, then it is very likely that local residents in Hong Kong will be affected by a series of troubles caused by the influx of tourists in the future. Mainland tourists have big opinions."

In fact, this is not just a problem in Hong Kong. Similar problems exist in first-tier cities such as the capital city and Shanghai stock market in the Mainland, as well as provincial capital cities in various provinces. Too many foreign populations have entered the city, making the city's incomplete infrastructure Under heavy pressure, the living space of local residents has been squeezed, housing prices have been pushed up, salaries have been lowered, resources in medical care and education have been strained, and a series of social problems have been brought about, which will naturally cause There are many contradictions between the local population and the immigrant population.It's just that big cities like Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai are more likely to get people's attention.

Even in Tongyi, some signs have appeared. Many local residents in Tongyi are dissatisfied with the large number of foreign children studying in Tongyi. Insufficient teaching staff.There are also many people who are very dissatisfied with the overcrowded status of several hospitals in Tongyi. The establishment of several hospitals in Tongyi not only meets the medical needs of local people in Tongyi, but also alleviates the shortage of medical resources in Fengyuan.A large number of patients from this province, and even patients from neighboring provinces, came to Tongyi for medical treatment.

Su Aijun has nagged Fang Mingyuan more than once, thinking that the existing medical system must be reformed, otherwise, even if Tongyi opens three more hospitals, it will be impossible to meet the huge medical needs of the citizens. (To be continued..)
