Looking at CEO Lei who was about to take the podium, Jiang Yan Hai was slightly in a trance. In fact, many people didn't know what Grain and Oil Incident was back then, and even many ordinary people didn't know what happened, but all ordinary people should know one thing.
That was in 2000, there was a sudden price increase in domestic pork, and the rate of increase was very terrifying. In fact, that time was caused by Grain and Oil Incident.
As for the reason?
It's very simple. As early as when the WTO was held, there was a group of people in China shouting that we had joined the WTO. American soybeans were cheap and our own soybeans were expensive. We should buy American soybeans and give up our own soybeans.
Elementary school students living in the Northeast should know that soybeans were once the most grown in the Northeast.
Therefore, after soybeans were liberalized, cheap soybeans from the United States were imported, and domestically grown soybeans were eventually eliminated due to issues such as oil yield, yield, and price.
It is true that in the two years since soybeans were first imported, the prices of all domestic grain and oil prices dropped by part. Those who shouted to give up their soybeans were instantly happy. So when the domestic soybean market was eliminated and grain and oil merchants were controlled by foreign countries, foreign grain and oil merchants instantly started a wave of price increases.
At this time, when the country no longer has its own soybeans, but soybeans are needed for feed, grain, oil, lubricants, etc., what should we do at this time?
All you can do is break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach. You have to eat soybeans even if the price of soybeans increases. Otherwise, you have nothing to play with. The price of soybeans, the raw material, is one of the most important raw materials for feed. So the price of feed increases. The price of feed increases. The price of pork, the end product, almost doubles instantly.
This is just the most intuitive thing in the whole Grain and Oil Incident. In fact, the impact is far more than this, because the Grain and Oil Incident at that time caused a lot of domestic grain and oil companies to go bankrupt. Through this incident, the country understood one thing. Many things seemed to be cheaper abroad at first.
But if you really give up, you will be the unlucky one in the end.
This is also the reason why we directly started agricultural subsidies later. The finance began to subsidize national agriculture. Many grains are obviously more expensive than abroad, but we would rather subsidize to maintain our grain cultivation. The soybean incident was a bloody lesson once, and it cannot happen a second time.
Therefore, many people do not know that state-owned enterprises like COFCO actually play a very important role in stabilizing domestic grain prices, resisting foreign grain and oil companies, etc.
The same principle has been applied to all walks of life in China. This is why so far, our country has not given up any industry and still maintains the only country in the world with a full industrial system. In fact, this matter has a profound impact, because we are afraid of being cheated again!
It can be said that after joining the WTO, the world gave us a trick, which made us understand that joining the WTO does not mean that we will no longer cheat you. There are some things. Only if you have your own trump card can you have the ability to overturn the table.
And currently, that's what we're doing.
Back then, there was another reason for flipping the table like this, and that was the problem with the star gate of Republic of Goa located at Africa. The agreement had been signed and the neighbors would not cause trouble. This was also one of the abilities to flip the table.
Don't think this is not worth mentioning. Just like we dare to lift the table when others dare not take action, isn't it one of our abilities to prevent others from taking action?
"... Welcome everyone to attend our Xiaomi press conference today." When CEO Lei's voice rang out from the speakers, Jiang Yan Hai also came back to his senses.
To be honest, Jiang Yan Hai is actually very excited and proud at this moment, because he has participated in all aspects of this, and he has witnessed and participated in many things.
"Hello to all the friends who came to attend the press conference today and those who watched on the Internet. I believe that many people watching this press conference will think that today is just our regular press conference every year. There is no difference."
"But today I want to tell you that today's press conference is destined to be a milestone for us, or a milestone for our China information industry."
Following CEO Lei's words, all the reporters on the scene today instantly became excited, because they all had a premonition that something new would definitely happen today, or that something major would definitely happen today.
You can tell from CEO Lei's words. After all, China is a milestone in the information industry. This sentence is not just said casually. If you have a quick mind, it has been linked to the news that China broke through the 3-nanometer process lithography machine some time ago.
But before CEO Lei was announced, they were not sure, or they were not sure whether it was this.
In fact, before any mobile phone manufacturer holds a press conference for a new mobile phone, there will be Reuters pictures, and some configurations, performance, etc. of the mobile phone will be released. For example, at this press conference, the relevant configurations of the new flagship mobile phone Xiaomi have actually been released, including the appearance.
However, no one can imagine that in less than half a month, they have completed a new mobile phone design and production task. This time the new mobile phone has been kept confidential, because the main manufacturers of panels and other aspects are temporarily in charge of Jiang Yan Hai. A few days before the press conference, CEO Lei went to find their traditional foundry.
To be honest, there are a lot of parts in a mobile phone, but before today, it can be said that almost most of the top accessories of the entire mobile phone are from abroad. Only Huawei has independent property rights for some key parts such as chips.
For example, panels are basically made from foreign products. It's just that we can't say that China is leading in terms of panels, but it has already reached one of the most advanced ranks, so the pressure is not that great.
But now they also have factories for panel materials. It can be said that this wave means that they have created another industrial chain.
"You may not know what it is yet, but I believe you will understand it after seeing our new mobile phone today." CEO Lei said with a smile.
"Everyone, please take a look!" CEO Lei said here, without seeing how he moved. The big screen behind him lit up, and then an extremely beautiful mobile phone with a perfect full screen appeared on the screen.
When they saw this phone, the people below couldn't help but exclaimed, because this is a true full-screen phone with a screen-to-body ratio of almost 100%!
