Homo sapiens.

And this time the explosion of genetically modified corn made the people of the entire Central American region feel resistant to genetically modified food, and it was instantly overwhelmed.
Even many non-problematic genetically modified foods have been affected.
In Central America, where a large number of genetically modified crops are planted, the price of natural agricultural products soared dozens of times due to residents' reluctance to eat genetically modified foods.
Now they don’t borrow money from Homo sapiens company to buy cheap food from Homo sapiens company, so they can only eat genetically modified food made by America.
In the past few years, Homo sapiens has frequently promoted America in the opposite direction in Central America, and Central America has a tradition of hating the United States. Now America is notorious in the local area.
Andres discussed with a few friends in a low voice for a while, and then he raised his hand: "Excuse me, what will happen if we don't have the money to repay the loan?"
The clerk smiled and enlarged a few lines of very small words: "This is the relevant clause for inability to repay the loan."
Everyone quickly looked carefully.
If you are unable to repay the loan, you can only transfer the land and citizen use rights under your name to Homo sapiens, and Homo sapiens will arrange a compulsory job for the borrower.
"What is compulsory work?" Andres asked uneasily.
"It means being a low-value-added job such as a farm worker, construction worker, or waiter. You have to work 6 hours a day. Can you accept it?"
"..." Andres and a group of locals looked at each other in blank dismay.
"You can only rest two days a week, you only have three times the salary on holidays, and you only have one month of paid leave a year. The basic salary is 3 gold dollars per month, plus 500 gold dollars in allowances. Although the work is a bit high-intensity, the salary is also low not tall……"
"Stop talking! I'll sign it!" A local man in his 40s stood up immediately.
"I will also sign..."
"I guess I can't repay the payment, so hurry up and arrange a compulsory job for me!"
"Let me take on this difficult job!"
These guys don't care at all about the rights of citizens being taken away by Sapiens Corporation. What they really care about is the monthly basic salary of 500 gold yuan and the 150 gold yuan allowance.
In the local area, they can't earn 500 knives a month, let alone 500 gold dollars.
As for selling flour, that is not a job that ordinary people can do, and the black boat is the boss.
Now there is a job of 500 gold dollars per month in front of him, but anyone with a little brain will choose to sign the contract of sale.
If others want to sign a deed of sale, they have no chance.
In less than three days, 3.7 young and middle-aged people in the local area signed the contract of selling themselves and received 1.2 gold dollars in selling themselves.
Of course, this money is not sent directly, but sent to a designated mobile phone account on a monthly basis, and it is also specifically locked to be consumed only in supermarkets and shopping websites affiliated to Homo sapiens.
This is to prevent someone from speculating, and also to prevent someone from taking money to gamble or suck flour.
As for whether it is possible to run away directly after getting the money, it is basically impossible.
First of all, this is a locked-in special loan, which can only be consumed in the affiliated institutions of Homo sapiens, and the money is also stored in the mobile phone account, not cash.
Secondly, during the signing process, the bank staff will enter all the information of the borrower. If you want to default, there is only one way, and that is to defeat Homo sapiens.
Even if it is to escape into the deep mountains and old forests, if Homo sapiens company is serious, it can still find people out.
What's more, many people don't think there is anything wrong with working for a Homo sapiens company, and they wish that Homo sapiens company would enslave themselves forever.
Many people who got the money went to the supermarket to buy immediately.
Andres was pushing a shopping cart. In the temporary supermarket, he was a little dazzled by the dazzling array of products on the shelves.
In the staple food area, he saw a 10-kilogram bag of cornflakes at a price of 0.53 gold dollars per bag.
But Andres skipped the corn products, as did everyone else, apparently still terrified of corn.
He took two 10kg bags of high-gluten flour casually, and he glanced at the price. It was 0.72 gold dollars per bag, not 0.72 gold dollars per kilogram.
This kind of bagged food is usually directly marked with the price of a bag.
Then he went to the meat section and took 2kg of chicken breast and 2kg of filet mignon, and finally vegetables and fruits.
After a round, he bought a lot of food and some daily necessities, and only spent a total of 21.7 gold dollars.
The purchasing power of gold dollars is indeed very strong.
If he officially joins the company, plus some discounts and temporary promotions, the price can be 30-40% cheaper.
Homo Sapiens launched this monthly loan of 100 gold dollars based on the purchasing power of 100 gold dollars. With careful budgeting, it can barely maintain the food and clothing of a family of 5.
As for wanting a higher quality of life, work hard!
With the help of an allergic incident, Homo sapiens set up subsidiaries and branches in various parts of Central America, and at the same time dumped huge and cheap commodities to these places.
The local industry and agriculture, which were already fragile, were instantly defeated by Homo sapiens, leaving only the service industry still lingering.
However, the more frightening thing is that the Homo sapiens company frantically absorbs young and middle-aged labor force in the local area, and the young and middle-aged people in many places have been siphoned off by the Homo sapiens company.
Under such circumstances, Homo sapiens would not have any difficulties or disturbances at all if it wanted to establish a local branch with full authority.
As for those who have ghosts in their hearts, or those who want to be free, they have already gone to the free world.
Chapter 539 It's in danger
Galaxy 2, February 8nd.
Oceania, southeast of Kangaroo Country.
This is the core agricultural area of the local area, whether it is wheat, cotton, or sheep pastures, they are all highly concentrated in this area.
The climate types here are mainly Mediterranean climate, temperate marine climate, subtropical monsoon climate and subtropical grassland climate.
Core cities including Sydney and Canberra are also in this area.
It can be seen that the local climate is relatively suitable for human life.
However, the Kangaroo Country is in an extremely dry state at this time. As the core agricultural area and the southeast region of human settlements, it has not rained for more than half a year.
If the southeast can still rely on groundwater for a period of time, then the Great Artesian Basin in the middle will be completely dry at this time.
Even if we keep digging deep wells, there is still no way to alleviate the local drought.
A freshwater lake in the Great Artesian Basin, at this time, only the dry and cracked bottom of the lake is left, and some weeds grow tenaciously from the mud at the bottom of the lake.
More than a dozen pastures in the surrounding area had to urgently apply for digging wells.
Although the Kangaroo Country has strict regulations that do not allow pastures and farms to dig water wells, especially machine-driven wells, but in the face of the current widespread drought, only temporary well-dig permits can be issued.
Old David, the rancher of the David Ranch, looked at the groundwater coming out of the machine well at this time, and his face was not very happy.
On the contrary, there was still lingering sadness on his face.
Because the temperature at this time is very low, only minus 11 degrees Celsius, and the latitude of his pasture is near 37 degrees south latitude, which is not such a low temperature in the same period of previous years.
This ultra-low temperature stopped the growth of pasture grass on the pasture, and even caused low-temperature freezing damage.
Low temperature and drought have become common conditions in the southern part of the Great Artesian Basin.
In order to ensure that the sheep that have just been shaved in autumn can safely survive this cold winter, old David had to keep the sheep indoors and turn on the heating for more than three months.
"Father! This is the electricity bill for this month." Little David came to Old David with a mailed bill.
Old David glanced at the bill, his face painful.
"Father, if this continues, we will go bankrupt."
Of course old David knew it would go on like this, taking date pills.
Their ranch has a total of 8000 sheep. Usually in winter, the temperature is below zero for a week or two. Now it has been more than three months, and the temperature has been below zero. This means that they have been heating continuously for more than three months.
Heating electricity bills have increased by 4 to 5 times compared to last year. Even if the Kangaroo Country officially subsidizes part of the electricity bills, the electricity bills still increased by about 3.7 times.
In addition, a more serious problem is that the supply of forage on the pasture itself is insufficient, and a large amount of hay and fodder must be purchased outside to fill the gap in the self-produced forage on the pasture.
This adds another expense.
In addition, the cost of drilling wells has to be borne by the rancher himself.
What is even more deceitful is that although sheep can withstand a low temperature of minus 15 degrees Celsius, they must be fed in captivity in an environment of 5 to minus 15 degrees Celsius, and the low temperature will cause their growth to slow down and wool production to decline.
This year, there are 6700 million sheep in the Kangaroo Country, and the production capacity is estimated to not exceed 2.2 million kilograms.
House seemingly endless rain.
Global wool demand has been split in two due to severe fragmentation of the global market.
Homo sapiens' artificial wool is not only self-sufficient, but also exported in large quantities.
As a result, wool from the Kangaroo Country can only be sold to the free world, although Serris in the free world is the largest wool importing region in the world. In previous years, 70-80% of the wool from the Kangaroo Country was sold to companies in Serris.
The problem is that Serris' wool demand is based on foreign trade demand.
Now that the global market is split in two, there is clearly not enough demand for wool in the free world.
Insufficient demand for wool products leads to insufficient demand for wool raw materials. As a result, the price of wool raw materials will naturally not go up.
The cost of production has increased and production capacity has decreased, but the selling price is still falling. This is a dead end for many sheep farms.
Sheep are not wheat. There is no way to plant less this year and expand production next year.
Once the number of sheep decreases on a large scale, it will take several years, even more than ten years, to restore the scale of breeding in the future.
And there is another problem here, that is, the farm can raise less, but the depreciation of the infrastructure, as well as part of the electricity bill, will not be reduced because of this.
If there is only a problem with the sheep industry, then the Kangaroo Country can rely on the support of America's father to hold on.
But now it's not just a problem with the sheep industry, but with grapes, wheat, barley and pasture.
The southeast, as the core agricultural area, has been affected by drought and low temperature, and grain production is declining sharply.
Many things often affect the whole body by pulling a hair.
The reduction in grain production will inevitably lead to a sharp rise in the prices of feed, vegetable oil, and sugar, and the soaring price of feed will further increase the production cost of the aquaculture industry.
The population of Kangaroo Country is small, only about 2700 million.
However, the previous high income and low prices made many people get used to that wonderful life.
Now that the unemployment rate keeps rising and prices are almost unstoppable, the problem is beginning to be exposed.
The operating rate of various industries is seriously insufficient, and many small farmers and ranches have fallen into a crisis of bankruptcy.
The area of Oceania as a whole is indeed very large, but except for deserts, Gobi Desert, and some tropical rainforests, the remaining areas that can be developed are actually coastal areas and the Great Artesian Basin.
Now, as the mid-latitude coastal areas in the south, they are basically in a state of low temperature and drought, while the tropical grasslands and tropical rainforests in the north have much more rainfall than in previous years.
It's raining where it shouldn't.
The result is that the dry places will become more and more dry; the wet places will be flooded.
ABCD and more than a dozen large local agricultural companies in Kangaroo Country are facing a very difficult problem at this time.
Sydney.
Bunge branch building.
Jia Lide, the manager of Bunge Oceania branch, got the grain storage inventory report, his face was very dignified: "There are only 247 million tons of feed reserves left, which is less than one-third of the same period last year. This..."
The deputy manager Anthony said with a headache: "Garrid, now it's not an inventory issue, but a cost issue."
"What's going on at the headquarters? Why aren't we allowed to increase the price? Do we want us to continue to sell at a lower price?" Gared's face darkened.
Anthony was very helpless: "I have communicated with the headquarters several times. The headquarters is under pressure from the council, and the price cannot be raised casually now."
"Shet!" Gared cursed secretly.
Obviously, the high benefits of Homo sapiens make the whole free world have to follow up with all their strength, otherwise they will admit defeat to Homo sapiens.
Some time ago, the four major forces in the free world joined forces to suppress the soaring prices of food, vegetables and fruits, which is the performance of riding a tiger.
If the current high level of welfare cannot be maintained, then the free world will not have any appeal.
Originally, they were inferior to Homo Sapiens in many aspects, and now they can’t even maintain the superficially high wages and low prices. Why should ordinary people stay and serve?
Once high wages and low prices cannot be maintained, the free world will collapse on its own.
That's why the four major powers are desperately lowering the prices of grain, vegetables and fruits. However, how long this pressure can last is still unknown.
5 Forty Chapters Bankruptcy Waves
If we talk about the kangaroo country, we can barely grit our teeth and persist at this time.
The Europa region was really in dire straits right now.
