Chapter 941 Poaching Plan
In Xucheng, in a government department, Director Chen, who is in charge of agriculture, also received the latest price monitoring report.
At this time, he was frowning and reading page after page.
The price of food in Xucheng has fluctuated so much recently, so it is naturally impossible for them to escape the eyes of the authorities in charge.
There must be a problem with such strong fluctuations in a short period of time, but where exactly is the problem? How to respond? The supervisor was a little confused.
According to convention, in order to stabilize grain prices, when someone maliciously raises prices, warehouses should be opened to release grain to suppress the rise in grain prices.
But if this is a large-scale purchase of grain across the state, it may be useless to use all the grain in the warehouse just to rely on the grain in Xucheng.
After studying the data carefully and making several phone calls with colleagues in various places, he frowned tightly.
Sure enough, food prices were skyrocketing across the state.
He frowned even more when he heard that the company that harvested grain was Jiabang, the largest grain company in the world.
He had experienced several wars between the state and the grain giants ten years ago. It could be said that those wars were smokeless but extremely dangerous.
At that time, the state relied on a relatively closed market and a shockingly large amount of grain reserves to bring down the grain giants.
If the state's grain reserves are a pool, and grain prices are the water level, if you want to affect grain prices, you have to inject water into it or pump water out.
Ten years ago, if international food giants wanted to influence housing prices in the state, the difficulty was probably equivalent to pumping or pumping water through a hole only as thick as a finger while dancing to the social shake.
But this year is already the deadline for the state to join the trade organization during its fifteen-year grace period.
At the beginning of this year, the state gradually opened its grain market.
The door to the market is wide open, and it will be much easier for international grain giants to influence the price of grain in the state.
There is no need to jump into social circles. You can use as thick a pipe as you like.
Is Jiabang here to cause trouble at this time?
Director Chen's first thought was to report the situation to see how the state's food department would respond.
He said to his secretary: "Compile a report for me. I will apply to my superiors on how to stabilize food prices."
After the secretary finished writing, he read the report again.
It listed in detail the current fluctuations in winter wheat prices around Xucheng and its impact on other prices. Finally, it came to the conclusion that warehouses should be opened immediately to release grain.
After all, this is the most orthodox way to react.
Just as he was about to submit this document to his superiors, the phone on his desk rang.
"Old Tao? Why are you calling me?" After answering the phone and hearing the voice of Tao Lude, the president of the Agricultural Association, Director Chen was a little puzzled, and then suddenly realized: "Why, it's because of the food price issue... Please tell everyone not to worry, and if you wait a little longer, I will probably open the warehouse to stock up on food soon."
"No...no, I came here because of the price of food, but I want to remind you not to open a warehouse to store food yet..." Tao Ruud said.
"Why?" Director Chen wondered.
"Actually, I don't know..." Tao Lud smiled bitterly, "I just got the news. Xiaozhuang reminded everyone that if you can buy grain recently, you'd better buy as much as you can, and let's give it to you. I’m telling you, don’t put aside any reserves just yet…”
Director Chen wondered: "Why?"
"I don't know about this anymore, but Xiaozhuang... must have a point. He didn't say anything specific. He just said it was a business secret, so I believed him."
"Then I... better go visit Mr. Zhuang." Director Chen glanced at the report on the table, frowned tightly, and took a deep breath.
I'm afraid I have to pay a personal visit to the uncrowned king of Xucheng Agriculture to know what Zhuang Buyuan's wishful thinking is.
In fact, he rarely dealt with Zhuang Buyuan. The last time he dealt with him was at the end of last year, when he helped the deceived farmers in Xucheng solve the winter wheat problem.
If it was last year, he could have held a meeting and directly recruited Zhuang Buyuan.
But this year, he really didn't dare to deal with Zhuang Buyuan as an official in charge of the regulatory department.
With the invasion of Hammermen and the lease of land at Green Island Port, Zhuang Buyuan already had an astonishing international influence, but his identity was completely different.
Even if he wanted to visit Zhuang Buyuan, he would have to ask if they had time.
After making several phone calls, he finally made an appointment with Zhuang Buyuan and went to visit him.
At the same time, in the bustling CBD area of Xucheng, Eddie Brolin, president of the international food giant Jiabang East Region, was sitting in a conference room, having a video conference with several Jiabang giants.
Although the influence of several major international giants in the state is not great, as one of the largest port cities in the state, Xucheng circulates a lot of food every day, because it has established a bonded zone, a free trade zone, and is nearby It is the largest port, so it has already set up branches in the state, and even has storage and processing points for several major grain producers.
The Eastern Region is the so-called eastern part of the East-West Continent and around Pingyang. It has a dense population and is a traditional large consumer of food. As the president of the Eastern Region, Brolin has an outstanding record and a very high status in the country.
But he was not without his failures.
It was he who was behind the battle for food in the state eight years ago.
This defeat can be said to be the biggest shame in his life, and it has always been haunting him.
It felt like a max-level player who arrived at a level-repressed novice village and was beaten to pieces by a group of alt players.
It's obviously such a closed market, and he's obviously a novice who doesn't use all kinds of high-end gameplay. How can he beat him?
He couldn't bear to see so many monsters, so much equipment, and so many resources being left to such a small account for himself!
Be sure to hit the in-state market!
We must firmly control the state's grain market in our own hands!
For eight years, he has been waiting hard. Now that the market in the state is finally open, he can finally take revenge and plunder a large amount of wealth in the state!
In the past eight years, he has conducted in-depth research on the state's food policies, supply models, and distribution methods for many years. He deeply feels that he has become a state insider and can take the lead in any situation!
How could a group of novices who had just left the novice village compare to him, a giant in the grain market?
I have one hundred and eighty skills and dozens of talents! Why are you just with me?
"This food purchase, I call it a poaching plan!"
"The state has always valued the price of staple food more than anything else, and will never allow major fluctuations in staple food." Brolin smiled coldly, "So, as long as we take action on the price of wheat, the staple food in the state, we will definitely To be able to get the state to react is poaching them.”
"According to my research on the state, at this time, they will definitely open warehouses to release grain and stabilize prices!"
"It's okay if they don't move. As long as they move, I have ten plans here!"
He threw a thick stack of plans on the conference table, with a loud bang and even the screen shook.
"If the amount released in the state is less, we will continue to increase the purchase price, raise the price of grain in the state, and at the same time short-sell in the futures market to hedge. If the grain price increases this year, there will definitely be more people planting winter wheat next year, and then the supply will exceed demand. , let’s smash the price down again! Let these farmers lose their money, and then the state will have to buy it at a higher price. Then we can transport wheat from outside the state, consuming the state’s reserves at the same time. Destroy the desire to grow winter wheat in the state while earning the price difference..."
"If there is too much supply in the state, we will vigorously purchase and absorb wheat, and directly clear the state's grain reserves..."
“The best thing about my plan is that we are mainly attacking wheat, but wheat is just a cover, just a corner we want to poach. As long as we can shake the state’s control and regulation of wheat planting area, with such a limited area in the state, The land resources will definitely affect other crops. At that time, we can find a breakthrough, occupy the market of this crop, and regain our original control over soybeans. This is called 'striking from the east to the west', also called 'building the plank road in the Ming Dynasty' It's a secret! By the time the state reacts, it's already too late. The control of wheat has been disrupted, and other markets have also been disrupted!"
In order to prove his knowledge of the state, Brolin also used two idioms in a row!
"Although there are a lot of grain reserves in the state, we have the world's food resources! We are using the power of the world to attack the state market. I can already foresee the future of the state!"
"My plan ranges from Plan A to Plan J! These ten plans can cover all possibilities! All their reactions cannot escape my prediction!"
"So, we will definitely win!"
The confident Brolin stood there with high spirits, and several giants looked at each other and applauded!
This plan seems to be impeccable and worth a try!
Although the opponent is a state with such a huge grain reserve, once this market can be divided up, what benefits will it be!
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Three days later, Brolin was stunned.
He made a total of ten plans ABCDEFGHIJ, but none of them said that the state would not open warehouses to release grain and stabilize grain prices. Instead, they would join the ranks of purchasing grains at high prices to compete with him!
Will the state continue to increase its reserves?
Your fucking grain reserves are enough for the people of the state to do nothing for three years! What else do you want to do, prepare for the end of the world?
Why don't these people act according to common sense?
On the other side, Director Chen used a thick report of more than 300 pages to finally convince the state's grain reserve agency to increase the amount of grain reserves and absorb this year's grain in large quantities.
When the results came out and the state actually began to absorb food and increase its food reserves, he became worried again.
He asked Zhuang Buyuan: "Mr. Zhuang, do you really believe that the price of food will increase significantly?"
Now that international wheat prices continue to fall, isn't this going against the trend?
If Zhuang Buyuan's guess is wrong, his career may be over.
Zhuang Buyuan smiled and said nothing.
Until ten days later, tsunami and heavy rains besieged Fuso Prefecture.
International food prices skyrocketed!
"Mr. Zhuang, are you a god? You can guess this..." Director Chen called Zhuang Buyuan and suddenly slapped his head in the middle of the sentence: "Ah, I understand, you must have foreseen this. The climate is abnormal, right? The technology of Almighty Manor is so impressive!"
Zhuang Buyuan smiled slightly, acquiescing.
What he actually wants to say is: No, actually I am a weather terrorist!
