Chapter 942 The First Victory or Defeat: Whoever Can Transport It in Wins!
"Damn it! Bastard! What are you analysts and climatologists doing!" On the first day of the Jiabangdong regional headquarters in Xucheng, where the tsunami hit Fuso, Brolin slammed the ABCDEFGHJ plan in his hand to the ground. Thick plans that could kill people were scattered on the floor.
"The group invests so much money in climate research every year, why can't these bastards analyze such a huge climate change in Fuso Prefecture!"
No wonder he was angry.
The biggest difference between agriculture and industry is that agriculture depends entirely on the weather.
Once the global climate is abnormal or a certain production area encounters a natural disaster, the output of certain crops will immediately decrease or even fail, which will naturally greatly affect food prices.
Therefore, every year they invest heavily in research and statistics of various climate data to predict the climate for the coming year.
"Sir, no organization can predict this kind of sudden weather..." On the other end of the phone, the scolded head of the climate department had no choice but to defend himself.
"Nonsense! It's all shit!" Brolin yelled angrily: "If you are not good at technology, get out of here. I tell you, the state must have predicted this kind of climate anomaly! Otherwise, how can we explain that they will absorb food reserves?"
At this time, looking at the state's previous efforts to absorb food, everything becomes clear.
His almost foolproof plan was completely shattered by a sudden disaster.
What he regrets most now is that when the state began to collect grain at high prices, he didn't know how to deal with it and stopped collecting grain.
Now it seems that if we had continued to hold on, we might have gotten a lot of food now as a blessing in disguise, because it is expected that in the next few months, international food prices will rise crazily!
It's a pity that he was stunned by the state's actions and did not continue to persist!
Thinking about it now, he is not to blame for all this, it is because of the asymmetry of information and the inaction of the climate department!
"Go buy it now! Hurry! If the price goes up, I won't believe that I won't be able to receive food!"
The subordinates immediately continued to be busy. Unfortunately, they got up early and rushed to the late meeting...
"In the state market, in addition to the state's absorption of grain reserves, there are also dozens of companies purchasing. Now there is no grain in the market..."
Needless to say, these dozens of companies are of course manor-related companies.
There is no airtight wall in this world. After investigating the backgrounds of these companies and finally understanding why the state suddenly absorbed grain reserves, there were only some retail investors left on the market who had not yet sold the grain.
"Almighty Manor, I remember you!" Brolin gritted his teeth in hatred.
For a long time, Almighty Manor has emerged as a new force in biomedicine, but they have never really competed with the four major grain merchants, and the four major grain merchants did not regard them as real opponents.
After all, Almighty Manor sells high-end, icing on the cake videos, but the biggest transactions of the four major grain merchants are the grain and various raw materials they depend on for survival.
But now, Almighty Manor has really started to fight with the four major grain merchants.
The first target is Jiabang, the largest grain giant in the world.
After the tsunami, the world's food began to flow to Fuso Prefecture immediately. When the news came that heavy rains had almost destroyed the entire Fuso Prefecture's agriculture, grain merchants around the world went crazy.
There are as many as 100 million hungry refugees with strong spending power there.
However, even if he was tricked by the Almighty Manor, Brolin didn't feel that he might fail at all.
Because, the next game is called "Whoever can transport it in wins"!
In this game, Jiabang cannot lose!
The cost of air transportation for things like food is too high, but the transportation volume is still very low. Not to mention, Fuso's airport is also seriously damaged. The number of flights it can carry every day is so low that it is not even a drop in the bucket. Really If you want to feed the people of Fuso Prefecture, you can only do it by sea.
However, all four major ports in Fuso Prefecture were destroyed by the tsunami and the port bays were silted up. At this time, it is not easy to transport them in.
The bigger problem is that sea transportation is so slow. It takes ten or twenty days to transport it from the west coast of Nut State to Fuso. Even if the transportation started on the day of the tsunami, after the food arrived, the bodies of the Fuso people would stink. Already...
On the east coast of the East and West Continent, the Mao Xiong State is vast and sparsely populated, so it must be brought from the west;
Koryo Province doesn’t even have enough food on its own.
There is only one source of emergency food that can be brought to Fuso Prefecture before the people starve to death in a few days, and that is within the prefecture!
On the surface, it looks like the state is getting a big advantage, and Almighty Manor can get a piece of the pie.
But that's not the case at all.
Brolin felt that this first pot of gold, the most profitable business, was simply tailor-made for him by God!
What kind of state, what kind of almighty manor, they all have to stand aside!
Because no one in the world is better at transporting food than them!
They have a large number of ships anchored in the state and a large amount of food reserves!
Except for specially designed tankers and LNG ships, shipping vessels are generally divided into two types.
One is a container ship and the other is a bulk carrier.
The former transports containers, usually transporting various high-value finished products and semi-finished products, which requires lifting and unloading at the dock.
The latter is mainly used to transport various raw materials, such as grain and ore. Some ships have their own hoisting devices or conveyor belt devices, and have certain self-unloading capabilities. The demand for docks is relatively low - and only these ships A kind of ship capable of transporting goods to Fuso Prefecture whose ports were completely destroyed.
After the news came out, the freight rates for bulk carriers in the state, especially bulk carriers with self-unloading capabilities, suddenly increased several times. Even so, it was still hard to find a ship.
As for Jiabang, there is no need to look at anyone's eyes, because they themselves have the largest bulk carrier fleet in the world!
In order to transport a large amount of food collected from the state, these fleets are now anchored at the port of Xucheng!
"Ahahaha, God is helping me!" Brolin felt that this was the right time and the right place!
I am so wise and powerful!
On the third day after the tsunami began, he had organized a fleet carrying one million tons and sailed towards Fuso Prefecture.
At the same time, he did not forget to ask his subordinates: "Has Almighty Manor found the ship?"
The subordinate looked strange: "I heard that they only found a 2,000-ton bulk carrier..."
"2,000 tons? And such a small bulk carrier?" Brolin felt like he was almost laughing.
Hahahahaha, the smallest ship in my fleet is 50,000 tons!
How can 2,000 tons of grain be of any use in the market in Fuso Prefecture?
When Jiabang's multi-million-ton fleet was sailing out of the port one after another, heading towards Fuso Prefecture, the 2,000-ton small bulk carrier carrying Almighty Manor's grain was also swaying towards Fuso Prefecture.
Looking at the poor little boat, Brolin almost choked with laughter.
"Ah ha ha ha ha... I will definitely win this game of whoever can transport it in..."
Thank you Xiaobai for not being the leader of Cai Alliance for the 10,000 reward.
I'm still recovering slowly, and I'm fasting tonight, so today is 3 updates with 7K words.
I'll see if I can explode tomorrow. Thank you~
