Rebirth of the Wealthy Country
Chapter 768 Grain prices skyrocket
Two more days passed.
President's Office of Golden Rice Building.
Khadgar held a pitch-black walkie-talkie and sat in the boss's chair, his eyes serious and fiery.
This pitch-black walkie-talkie is called "the Sword of Damocles in the food world" by people from the Foundation.
Whenever this intercom is turned on, the CEOs of the four major grain merchants under them will start a new grain war!
"Noon has arrived."
Khadgar glanced at his watch, picked up the walkie-talkie, and pressed the bright red button on it vigorously!
"Children, a new gold-grabbing feast has begun!"
"Please use your skills to your heart's content and push the price of food to the sky!!!"
As Khadgar's order was issued, the CEOs of the four major grain merchants immediately began to show their talents!
"Immediately notify the news media in the 100 countries that cooperate with our company and ask them to issue a press release stating that "mass production of soybeans will be reduced by 70% this year"!
"Inform the company's 6,250 grain agents around the world and ask them to immediately tighten their soybean distribution. No matter how exaggerated the market price is, not a single bean is allowed to be sold without an order from the head office!!!"
"Go and notify those major grain-producing countries, let them stage a war drama, and at the same time interrupt all grain transportation channels of those major grain-producing countries!!!"
"Hey, are you the oil king? I am President Khadgar's subordinate. In the next month, please cooperate with us in raising the price of crude oil. I want people around the world to stop burning oil in the next month."
Burning food'!"
After the "Sword of Damocles in the Grain Industry" was launched, the CEOs of the four major grain merchants began to unite global capital and conduct the first round of grain price speculation.
As the quality of life of people around the world continues to improve, every household's requirements for food have also begun to increase, and meat has become a necessity for people in peaceful times. Anyone who can cook knows that cooking oil is essential for frying meat and vegetables.
auxiliary materials.
The first round of food price speculation among the four major grains was conducted on soybeans, the raw material of "edible oil".
First of all, news media in 100 countries around the world that have cooperation with the four major grain merchants began to issue press releases!
"According to the World Food Reserve Organization report, due to the greenhouse effect, tornadoes, floods and other disasters this year, soybean production in major bean-producing countries has plummeted. According to expert calculations, soybean production this year will be reduced by at least 70%."
"One minute of fertilizer, one minute of grain; very much fertilizer, a warehouse full of grain. Fertilizer, a chemical closely related to grain production, is becoming an "invisible hand" that threatens global food security as its price continues to rise. Recently,
The world's largest nitrogen fertilizer manufacturer, CF Company, announced that global operating rates have declined, supply has decreased, and the balance between global nitrogen supply and demand has tightened. Global fertilizers will see a sharp rise. The increase in fertilizer prices may lead to a reduction in global food production, and beans will be the first to bear the brunt.
product."
"According to the World Meteorological Organization, rising temperatures and intensified droughts caused by climate change may lead to a reduction in global food crop production. Among them, beans, which people are accustomed to, will decrease by 70% this year."
"..."
In this way, the media from various countries are bribed to speculate on soybean price increases at any cost, and the natural effect is amazing!
On the day the news was sent out, the price of soybeans in various countries around the world immediately doubled!
This shocked all grain distribution channels around the world!!!
Because in the past 20 years, the highest increase in soybean prices was only a doubling in one month.
And now, the price has doubled in one day!
This rise is so fierce that it’s a bit scary!
Logically speaking, with such a terrifying increase, according to the rules, soybean dealers around the world should happily open warehouses to sell grain and make a lot of money.
But something strange happened again!
On this day, grain distribution channels all over the world unanimously said: "Grain is sold out!"
They don't sell it!!!
No matter what the grain distribution channel dealers say, they will either say that there is no grain, or that the new batch of goods has not arrived yet. In short, in a word, "we will not sell"!
The grain dealers did not release the goods, and the goods distributed by the grain distribution channels were very limited, and they were all sold out very quickly.
This led to a new round of rise in soybean prices.
In just three days.
The price of soybeans has skyrocketed from 24 yuan to 70 yuan!
And the soybeans in Daxia have been closely tied for a long time, so they were naturally affected by price increases. For a while, the price of soybeans in Daxia also skyrocketed like those in foreign countries.
Many countries think that if your grain company doesn't sell goods, then we will go to the big grain-producing countries to purchase goods!
However, what is strange is that these large-producing countries have inexplicably declared a state of war and cut off food transportation channels.
But according to the descriptions of local residents, there was no war at all!
As a result, soybean prices have skyrocketed again!
Everyone originally thought that the three-day increase of nearly three times was already the limit and should have reached the top.
At this time, oil king Luo Fei made a "sad" announcement: "Under the influence of multiple factors, global crude oil supply has further tightened, coupled with labor costs and transportation costs rising year after year, crude oil prices have to rise!"
Crude oil prices have also risen, and they have risen even more outrageously than soybeans!
In order to minimize the impact of rising crude oil prices on economic development, countries have had to announce emergency measures to expand the sales of biofuels and allow local sales to use more e15 gasoline containing ethanol.
Here, to explain, biofuels include bioethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is mainly processed from corn or sugar cane, while biodiesel is mainly processed from palm oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, etc.
The popular saying for this measure is: If you can't afford gasoline, then "burn food."
For a time, every country that could not afford to burn gasoline began to implement a "burning food" policy.
On the one hand, there is a shortage of beans, and on the other hand, grain is burning, which further aggravates the rise in the price of beans!
Five days later, people were horrified to find that the price of soybeans had increased five times!!!
On the surface, the soaring price of soybeans affects soybean extraction companies in various countries, but in fact, it affects all aspects of people's daily lives.
As the price of soybean oil increases, the price of soybean meal also rises from 2,000 yuan per ton to 4,000 yuan per ton. Soybean meal is an important feed for pig breeding. Therefore, if the price of soybean meal remains high, the price of pork will inevitably start to go crazy.
rise.
In the past month, in many places in Daxia, the price of pork has even exceeded 20 yuan per pound, which is simply outrageous!
People had to replace pork with other meat products. Obviously, the soaring price of soybeans has affected the daily lives of ordinary people.
The situation in various industries is also quietly changing.
Everything was as expected by Khadgar!
Hyping up soybean prices is just the first shot in Khadgar's food price war!
After getting off to a good start.
Khadgar once again took out the "Sword of Damocles of the Food World" and announced loudly:
"My children, congratulations on your victory!"
"Next, there will be a comprehensive food price war!"
"For the Eastern Continent, let me hype all the prices of rice, wheat, corn and other grains!!!"
"The prices will rise, skyrocket, to the point where all the countries in the East will have to bow to us!!! Kneel down and beg us to open warehouses to sell grain!!!"
