347. The enemy is sharpening the Vulcan gun (6)
America’s wealthy don’t want to be seen as survivalists. Image matters.
But behind the scenes, they were also eagerly buying canned goods sold by Nanosoft.
As expected of the wealthy, the scale was also large.
They gathered the quantity by reflecting not only their own family, but also their subordinates and their families, and the expectations of new members who may join.
The USDA is sweating over the sales figures fueled by the food apocalypse crisis.
“Americans spend this much money hoarding food?”
“The Treasury will be happy. They had a lot of concerns about the interest rate hike, but it has been resolved in one go.”
A significant amount of the dollars released into circulation flowed into the savings bank through purchases of canned food.
American citizens were buying up huge quantities of canned goods.
Just to put it simply, let’s say 10% of those 333.3 million people bought enough canned food to feed four people for six months. That’s a huge number.
But it’s not like only 10% participated in canned food stockpiling.
“Swimming restaurants have raised their prices all at once. They said it was because of the increase in the cost of supplying food ingredients.”
“Food prices at online and offline stores continue to rise. If this continues, per capita food spending could soar by more than five times.”
“We must stop the rise in food prices.”
The Undersecretary of Agriculture ran a long hand over his face and laughed vulgarly.
“Us? With what talent?”
“The only thing we can do is subsidize citizens who are suffering from high food prices. Of course, if we do that, uncontrollable inflation will devastate the U.S. economy.”
America’s elites were deeply opposed to the direction of Congress.
I couldn’t understand why the social groups that lead the American economy, such as Silicon Valley and Wall Street, were so at odds with Ha Soo-young.
‘The American Treaty? What’s the big deal? Is it worth going to this extent?’
‘It would have been fine if I had just asked moderately, but now I’ve blown it so hard that there’s no place to retreat to in the wind.’
The Deputy Minister was also a man who was fed up with the foolish tyranny of the National Assembly.
“Has everyone stocked up on groceries?”
Although they didn’t say anything, the employees admitted it with their eyes.
The vice minister stood up, loosening his collar.
“I’ve also stockpiled enough to feed my wife and I until we die. I’ll make a prediction. The American people are going to have to get used to Tiny Meats. It’s going to be a daily occurrence.”

Nanosoft’s food business division was forcibly separated.
It didn’t matter much to CEO Balmer Steen.
Originally, I just stayed with Nanosoft because I didn’t want to bother separating them. Anyway, after retirement, the cafeteria that I started to kill time went bust and I ended up here.
“We will sequentially remodel the interiors of all our restaurants across the country. In the long term, we will reduce the number of tables in the hall and create a more upscale restaurant image rather than a family restaurant.”
As food prices rise, it is only natural that the absolute number of customers visiting swimming restaurants will decrease.
Instead of reducing the number of stores, Balmerstein took a strategy of downsizing and upgrading.
Long-term preservation foods such as frozen, refrigerated, and canned foods were sold out as soon as they were produced.
Even though prices were raised significantly compared to before, consumers were unable to purchase the goods because they were out of stock.
“Fruit Foods’ aggressive marketing is actually creating anxiety in the minds of well-off consumers.”
“I’m panicking that I might have to eat insects for the rest of my life, so I’m buying canned beef in bulk.”
The most popular product is, of course, canned beef.
“Groceries spending has skyrocketed. Canned food sales alone could easily hit $1 trillion.”
“We have several months’ worth of orders pending. Should we expand our factory?”
“No, we won’t expand the factory line any further. We’ll maintain the current panic. We’ll just fan the flames of consumer fear.”
Balmer Steen used vicious marketing.
The more panic there is, the less likely it is that consumers will be able to make sound decisions, and businesses will be able to rake in money.
“Assume that Fruit Foods will account for at least 20% to 30% of your U.S. sales, and prepare your future business plan accordingly.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
The food business division became an independent corporation called ‘Nanofood.’
‘Suyeong Food’ was also a candidate, but Ha Su-young did not want it. Nano Food is only a business partner.
The logic that it can’t be yours.
People think Balmer Steen must have paid an astronomical amount of money for this forced sale.
But that is a misunderstanding.
The money Nanosoft received from Balmustin for selling the food business was only $1.
Of course, since it was a symbolic amount, only numbers were written in the contract and no actual money was exchanged.
“But Mr. Chairman, do you think Fruit Foods’ market share will only reach 30%? I think it could easily exceed 60%.”
“Why is that?”
“I don’t think only 3 out of 10 people will eat fruit foods. I think more than 6 out of 10 people will.”
Balmer Steen smiled faintly.
“You are now falling into the statistical illusion.”
“yes?”
“If Fruit Foods has a 60% market share, that means that not six out of ten people, but more than nine out of ten people are already eating Tiny Meat.”
“Why is it like that… … ”
“Imagine you’re a Tiny Meat eater. Do you want to eat only Tiny Meat for three meals a day? Don’t you want to eat other things too?”
“Oh, I understand.”
Even if Tiny Meat’s market share is only 30%, it means that more than 60% of the population already consumes it on a daily basis.
“America could have become a country where fruit foods can’t even set foot.”
The investment of $500 billion was a warning to the entire United States.
The size of the amount itself shows that Ha Su-young has no intention of hiding it.
“Washington completely ignored warnings that Tiny Meat could become your stock, even after so many catastrophes.”
Nanofood employees were lucky.
They could purchase products sold by Nanofood with priority over other consumers, even at employee prices that were less burdensome.
However, you must pay the regular price to use the swimming pool restaurant.
“Following Canada, tiny meat has become a popular food in the US. This was unthinkable just two years ago.”
Who would have guessed that two of the world’s wealthiest countries would be the first to adopt insect meat?
“It won’t be long before you can easily find a Fruit Foods store in every country except the Commonwealth of Nations.”
“Will that day ever come in the Middle East? Under Syrian law, insects are considered haram (forbidden food).”
“There will be no Fruit Foods stores in the Middle East unless Islam disappears. Traditional meats will become very expensive in the future, so Arabs will have to pay a lot for food.”

Suyeong Ranch raises over 50 million cattle in the United States and Korea combined.
A ranch that Freedom cares for with care
The cows at Suyeong Ranch usually give birth to three calves at a time. This is a rare occurrence on other ranches, but it has long been a routine at Suyeong Ranch.
As a result, the number of breeding farms has increased rapidly over the past few years.
If the slaughter had not increased, the number could have already exceeded 100 million.
When Suyeong Ranch CEO Jin-guk Choi visited the United States, an emergency was declared at the White House.
“President Choi Jin-guk? What kind of person do you do?”
“He is a close associate of the swimming group who oversees the ranch business. In private, he is also the nephew of Choi Woo-seok, the vice-chairman of the Gangnam District Council and a political associate of Ha Soo-young.”
“Could it be that they are trying to fix the price of meat?”
The Ministry of Agriculture had a hard time interpreting the intention of Choi Jin-guk’s visit.
Meanwhile, American livestock farmers gathered together to meet with Choi Jin-guk, led by Beef Callon Chairman.
The location is the Las Vegas swimming pool casino hotel.
Android Freedom differentiates its service by serving and watching the table dealers.
“Don’t worry, even the NSA won’t be able to eavesdrop on our conversations here.”
As it was the most successful casino hotel in Las Vegas, the eyes of the cattle ranchers who had a lot of money but had only raised cattle their whole lives were going crazy.
“Is this collusion? But the federal government will know that we’re here together, so an investigation into collusion will be inevitable.”
“Haha, I didn’t come here to suggest any kind of collusion. I just wanted to give you a heads up on the direction of our ranch’s business. Aren’t we business partners?”
The ranch owners were forced to follow the swimming ranch’s business policy.
In addition to needing help from swimming construction to build the indoor ranch structure, they would not be able to afford the feed costs without a supply of swimming feed.
“Our farm will not be distributing meat to the U.S. meat market for some time, except for premium meats.”
“You’re taking a temporary withdrawal. How long will it last?”
“Well, I’m sure it’ll be quite long. Even if it comes back later, it’ll definitely come in at a higher price than the already established price.”
The ranchers realized that Choi Jin-guk was proposing a roundabout collusion.
‘I’ll be out for a bit, so you guys go and take care of your own stuff. Got it?’
A blatant message.
“We were already worried about how to adjust the shipping price, but thanks to Suyeong Ranch’s big decision, I think we can find courage.”
A rancher spoke cautiously.
It meant that I would trust you and raise the price sharply to sell it all off.
“Oh, and please understand this. Farmbus operates separately from our ranch. I believe there are quite a few Farmbus players in the United States as well.”
“Does that have any significance?”
“Farmbus players will be able to ship meat they purchase in-game to the United States.
“Well, we have no choice but to follow that.”
“Ah, that’s only natural.”
“But I also raise cows and play Farmbus occasionally, but isn’t it difficult for everyone other than CTW2022 users to purchase 100g of beef?”

“Calorie Note”
“l. Those written in this note become VIPs of the Calorie Service.
2. Calorie Service VIPs enjoy complete freedom from all calories originating from swimming farms.
Go Won-jae remembered the moment when a single notebook completely changed his life.
He enabled the Chinese voice phishing masterminds to receive the ‘blessing’ of the Calorie Note and use the note in the right way, thus moving their area of operation into the Palmer’s Goldilocks zone.
This is the second time I have become a Goldilocks Zone user following CTW2022.
On a planet similar to Earth, he farmed diligently under the blessing of the sun, diligently selling his crops and accumulating a fortune.
At first, he used the palm oil to deliver groceries to his home or to give gifts to his family.
Then he quickly realized that he was wasting his palms in vain.
“Crazy, you can buy Saudi oil with palm oil?”
“The European crude oil market is good these days. Buy Saudi crude oil with palm oil and resell it in the European market. The money will be copied.”
However, crude oil purchases were only possible when the palm oil value was 100 million or more.
Go Won-jae farmed like crazy in the game to secure farm figures, and as soon as he collected 100 million, he tried to buy Saudi crude oil.
“Sir, the market situation has changed. I do not recommend crude oil triangle trading.”
“then?”
“Open an online meat auction in the US and make a direct transaction from the farm. The price of meat in the US is skyrocketing right now. You can make much more profit than the profit from crude oil.”
