Kissinger, Secretary of State of the United States, once said: Whoever controls food controls all mankind.

The “four major grain merchants” ADM, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus on Blue Star control 70% of the global grain market.

The resources controlled by the four major grains can easily create food crises, create famines, and take advantage of others.

In the previous life of Blue Star, the world food crisis actually had nothing to do with the amount of food, but had a huge relationship with money printing and finance.

There is enough food in the world, but it is being hoarded by the four major grain merchants.

In global grain trade, a country's ability to determine prices directly determines its status and interests in grain trade. Whether it can control the pricing power of grain is crucial.

For example, in the world food crisis in 08, during the global financial crisis, the four major multinational grain merchants headed by Chouguo.

They arbitrarily manipulate food prices and harvest the wealth of third world countries. They not only transfer domestic conflicts to foreign countries, but also try to subvert the regimes of other countries, thereby continuing to control the world and maintain their so-called world hegemony.

In order to maintain domestic stability and prevent economic decline, countries have to accelerate money printing, devaluing the exchange rates of food-importing countries, reducing their ability to earn foreign exchange, and engaging in panic hoarding of food. The result is worsening inflation and food shortages.

In grain-exporting countries, inflation has risen due to rising grain prices, which has greatly strengthened inflation expectations. Both sides have led to the outbreak of speculative demand and advance hoarding demand, causing the normal food supply order to collapse, and a food crisis has formed.

When a food crisis occurs, if food prices in the previous life only increase by 4000%, more than [-] million people around the world will be on the verge of extreme poverty.

A 10% food shortage will lead to even worse consequences.

The consequence of a 10% food shortage is not a 10% increase in food prices, but a 10% price increase until [-]% of people starve to death.

The importance of food far exceeds chips and mineral resources.

In a world with low modernization like the Naruto World, one can easily control the entire world's food pricing power by using high-yielding rice seeds to defeat other countries' agriculture.

Once Haruno Sakura monopolizes the food industry, she will be able to completely control the outbreak and direction of the war, and arbitrarily control the economy and political power of other countries.

After all, when ten percent of the people in other countries are starving to death, even ninjas probably won't have much loyalty to the daimyo.

After figuring out Sakura's thoughts, Naruto felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, after gaining the wisdom of other Luo Yan, he only wanted to destroy Konoha.

Compared with Sakura, his situation is simply too far behind.

"Sakura, I also know a lot about genetic technology. If you agree, I can join your high-yield rice seed project and help you with research."

Sakura looked at him suspiciously: "You also know about genetic technology? But your liberal arts scores are not high!"

Naruto said awkwardly: "Actually, I was hiding my clumsiness before. Believe me, my knowledge reserve is pretty good."

Sakura still didn't quite believe in Naruto, so she immediately asked a lot of questions to test Naruto.

As a result, Naruto answered all the advanced biology questions easily, which made Sakura dispel her doubts.

"Okay, Naruto, your level of knowledge is indeed very high. For the high-yielding rice seed project, you can join me as my deputy!"

"When the project comes to fruition and the company is established, Sasuke will help us research how we can occupy 30.00% of the shares. You will use your technology to invest in 20.00% of the shares. The remaining 50.00% of the shares will be owned by me personally. What do you think? Do you two agree?"

Sasuke smiled and said: "If you make it so formal, can you really succeed in becoming bigger and stronger?"

Sakura said seriously: "I can't guarantee that this kind of thing will be [-]% successful, but business cooperation needs to be rigorous. We have established rules and regulations and dividend regulations from the beginning. If conflicts arise later, they can be easily resolved."

"Well, according to what you said, I will provide you with 100 million taels in the early stage. This should be enough!"

In the world of Naruto, one tael is roughly equivalent to ten yen, and 100 million taels is 1000 million yen, which is approximately equivalent to 50 soft girl coins.

Sasuke was able to take out 50 soft girl coins in one breath, which shows that even if his Uchiha clan is exterminated, the remaining legacy will be unimaginable.

The currency in the Naruto world includes banknotes, which means that this world has institutions like banks that issue banknotes.

If there is a bank, even if the Uchiha clan is wiped out and their fixed assets are appropriated by other families in Konoha, the wealth in the bank cannot be taken away by anyone.

So Uchiha Sasuke is probably like Harry Potter, his parents and relatives are dead, but he still has a lot of property in the bank.

Sasuke's father was the patriarch of the Uchiha family during his lifetime, and his personal wealth was by no means as small as 100 million taels.

You must know that in Konoha, the bounty for an S-level mission is as much as 100 million taels. As the leader of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku left Sasuke with at least more than [-] million taels of wealth.

Anyway, unlike Naruto, a poor man who was a child without a father and mother, Sasuke relied on his father's inheritance to live a much better life than Naruto.

The three of them reached a preliminary cooperation, with the rich providing money, the powerful providing efforts, and the skilled providing technology, and a rough cooperation framework was soon formulated.

The three of them unanimously decided to put the company's affairs into later stages.

Priority will be given to establishing laboratories and purchasing research equipment.

The three of them found a hidden cave in the Death Forest. They used earth escape to expand the cave into a huge space. Then they purchased a lot of instruments and secretly brought them into the cave with seal scrolls.

The technological development in the world of Naruto is very skewed. It seems that the Land of Fire is still living in a feudal society, but some places have developed like a metropolis.

There are no guns or planes in the world of Naruto, but there are PCR machines, electrophoresis machines, centrifuges and other instruments used for biological experiments.

These instruments are quite expensive, and ordinary people cannot find channels to buy them.

If Uchiha Sasuke hadn't still had some contact with the Ninja Clan and entrusted Granny Neko to help purchase instruments, it would have been a problem for them to establish their laboratory.

With a full set of instruments, it is actually very difficult to conduct genetic experiments on plant seeds.

To make genetically modified rice, you must at least sequence the entire genome of the rice!

Rice has 24 chromosomes, that is, there are 12 pairs of homologous chromosomes, but it has no sex chromosomes, so when sequencing the genome, one of each pair of homologous chromosomes is usually measured, which is 12 pairs.

Whole genome sequencing is a very ambitious project.

In the past, six countries, with countless scientists working day and night, spent 13 years and a budget of 30 billion US dollars, finally completed the sequencing work of the Human Genome Project and mapped out the 2.5 billion base pairs of 30 genes in the human body. Map.

If they were to rely on three little ninjas to sequence the rice gene using extremely backward computers, there would be 12 million DNA base pairs and 4 genes in 3 chromosomes. How long would it take to sequence them?

Therefore, Haruno Sakura’s plan is not to sequence all the rice genes.

She plans to cultivate thousands of plant samples at the same time, then use Yang escape chakra to stimulate the growth of rice, select outstanding plants among them, and then compare them with ordinary rice to find the genes that make rice high-yielding.

Haruno Sakura has taught herself medical ninjutsu, and the palm ninjutsu in medical ninjutsu uses Yang Release to stimulate human cells, speed up division, and heal injuries.

With a slight improvement, applying the Yang Release Medical Ninjutsu to plants can also speed up the plant's cell division and make it grow at a high speed.

Scientists in previous lives took a year to wait for rice to mature.

In the world of Naruto, with the help of chakra, Haruno Sakura can ripen an acre of rice seedlings in just one night. This efficiency is much higher than that of the scientists in the previous life.

As long as Haruno Sakura experiments for a while and the big data is eliminated, she will always gain something.
