Rebirth of the Wealthy Country

Chapter 755 Food Price War

Faced with this middle-aged man’s question, Mother Chen was a little confused:

"The wheat isn't ripe yet, why did you buy it?"

The middle-aged man grinned and said, "Oh, that's right. I work in a feed factory. I buy it to use as livestock feed."

"What? Livestock feed?" Mother Chen was even more confused.

Would you buy such good wheat to use as livestock feed?

Isn’t this a waste of food?

But Chen Mo can understand.

He knew that these grain dealers should be engaged in silage.

Silage refers to feed made from green feed through controlled fermentation. Silage is known as "canned grass". It is juicy and palatable, has a sour smell, has high digestibility and is rich in nutrients. It is the best choice for feeding cattle, sheep and other livestock.

There are many raw materials for making silage, and all green plants that can be used as feed can be used as silage raw materials.

However, the green wheat that can be used as silage generally does not grow well, such as grains are not full, or there is an insect infestation.

The quality of the wheat grown by my mother is even twice as high as ordinary wheat!

How could it be used as silage?

"Sorry, our green wheat is not suitable for feed." Chen Mo declined politely.

"It's okay, I'll buy it for 600 yuan per acre, how about it?" the middle-aged businessman said with a smile.

"I asked you, are you sick? If you buy ripe wheat for 600 yuan per acre, you will be rich! Why are you buying green wheat?" Father Chen couldn't help complaining.

In 2001, the general price of silage wheat was 200-300 yuan per mu.

As for mature wheat, according to optimistic scenarios, the maximum price per acre is only 600 yuan.

In this case, if you spend 600 yuan to buy silage wheat, wouldn't you be kicked in the head by a donkey?

"Our factory produces high-end silage, so of course we need high-quality green wheat. Just tell us whether to sell it or not?" said the middle-aged businessman.

"Sorry, we don't sell it," said Chen's mother.

"Sister, please think carefully. My price is much higher than the price of ripe wheat! If you sell it to me now, you won't have to pay for a series of expenses such as field management, harvesting, and straw processing, both inside and outside.

It’s like making twice as much money!” the middle-aged man said without giving up.

"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it! I'm not short of money! I farm the land for people to eat, not for animals!" Mother Chen was a little unhappy.

The middle-aged man refused to give up and wanted to pester him, but when he saw He Chenguang's murderous eyes, he immediately ran away in fear.

"What a lunatic! Why are you buying green wheat at such a high price?" Father Chen said speechlessly.

"If the green wheat is made into feed and eaten by animals, what else will people eat?" Mother Chen sighed.

This sentence made Chen Mo frown slightly.

"Chenguang, follow me and find out what's going on." Chen Mo said.

"yes!"

It is really abnormal to see a feed merchant suddenly appear in the field and harvest green wheat at a high price.

But Chen Mo didn't think much about it, what if he was making high-end feed?

In the evening, He Chenguang came back.

At the same time, he also held several leaflets and business cards in his hand.

"Boss, there is indeed something weird."

According to the information obtained by He Chenguang, in the rural fields of Jiangbei, many feed merchants suddenly appeared to purchase green wheat at high prices.

Not only that, after He Chenguang inquired carefully, he found that they were all owned by the same company, and this company seemed to be a nationwide chain.

"National chain?"

Chen Mo seemed to smell something dangerous.

He dialed a number and gave it to Song Siming: "Old Song, please do me a favor."

"Okay, you say."

"Help me find out how many feed merchants are harvesting green wheat across the country."

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Mo took out his laptop again, connected it to the Internet, and began to check grain futures in the futures market.

After checking it, Chen Mo was a little shocked!

Because in the past few days, all types of grain futures have experienced price increases of 10%-20%!

Even when the economic environment is good, this increase is already extremely exaggerated.

What's more, the maturity period of wheat, corn and other grains in various countries is approaching recently, and there are no favorable events in the world for grains. Logically speaking, the price of grain futures should fall slightly during this period, right?

"Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!"

"Could it be that..."

Chen Mo suddenly realized something!

"Could it be that the four major grain merchants launched a price war against Daxia in advance?"

Suddenly!

Chen Mo broke into a cold sweat!

Because according to historical progress, it was only in 2005 that the four major grain merchants launched a grain price war against Daxia.

Chen Mo clearly remembered how bad the food price war had been on the prices of food in various countries around the world!

That year, the four major grain merchants launched a food war and spent huge sums of money to hype up the food shortage.

In a very short period of time, international wheat prices soared 4.6 times, and prices of rice, soybeans, corn, etc. also increased at a monthly growth rate of 50%!

Many poor countries without food reserves have even experienced major famines and even national bankruptcy due to this food price war!

However, in the summer of 2005, due to sufficient grain reserves, the price war was easily handled.

But it’s different now!

This year is 2001, and Daxia’s grain reserves are not as sufficient as they were in 2005!

If the butterfly effect of his own rebirth caused the four major grain merchants to launch a grain price war in advance, then the result may be very terrible - grain prices will skyrocket!

That kind of surge is not a double or triple surge, it may be more than ten times, or even dozens of times!!!

Assume that in a period of abundant food, 101 people have 101 portions of food. Everyone knows that there is enough food and everyone can get at least 1 portion on average. Therefore, there will be no looting or skyrocketing food prices.

And if there are 100 people and there are only 99 portions of food, and everyone knows that one person will definitely have no food to eat and will starve to death, then looting will occur!

The original food price of 1 yuan per serving may even be snatched away by rich people at the price of 10 yuan, and more than one share!

Because he wants to make sure he doesn't starve to death!

This is the basic concept behind the four major grain dealers’ hype and grain price war.

Once food prices skyrocket, other commodities will follow suit!

That kind of situation is more terrifying and terrible than any stock market crash or any economic crisis!!!

And now, suddenly there are so many people harvesting green wheat at high prices...

Isn't this exactly the same as the preparations made by the four major grain merchants in the previous life before hyping up the food shortage?

Once the grain production of a certain country drops significantly, that country will import grain to make up for the production gap. This will cause at least two problems: 1. International grain prices are not under control. If the price increases, it is still a trivial matter, and they will not be sold to you.

, what can you do.

2. As soon as the news of a reduction in grain production comes out, it will cause social panic, and grain-related products will rise sharply.

When there is no more food to buy, why don’t the four major grain merchants just sell it at whatever price they want?

That night, Chen Mo tossed and turned without falling asleep.

It wasn't until the next morning that Chen Mo called Song Siming early in the morning and asked him about yesterday's situation.

"There are indeed feed merchants across the country who buy green wheat at high prices as you mentioned."

Song Siming's words struck Chen Mo like a thunderbolt!

It’s over!

The butterfly effect of rebirth really appears!

The food war is coming!
