Reborn? The Kind You Can Choose!

Listening to the old man's decision, Yuan Zhou also put aside the last doubt in his heart.

Although he knew that according to the trend of his previous life, China was surprisingly sympathetic to its foreign policy, he was still afraid of making a mistake.

After all, COFCO’s attack on the four major grain merchants happened in 2008. Is it too early in 2004?

But obviously, Yuan Zhou thought too much.

He didn't hear the specific follow-up because Shen Bu chatted with him for a few words and then hung up the phone.

But it is clear that the country already has an idea.

Yuan Zhou just needs to wait quietly to watch the show.

As Yuan Zhou said, as long as COFCO opens a warehouse, the four major grain merchants will also find out, because the one standing behind them is China.

In the soybean war in 2004 in the previous life, China lost, and lost completely.

However, this also alerted China, and it gained experience in counterattacking in the subsequent larger-scale confrontation.

After the COFCO sniper attack in 2008, the entire global market discovered that China had changed its strategy, that is: since domestically produced soybeans cannot meet demand, then I will rely on the reserves of superstars to stabilize market prices.

When the price is too low, I buy, and when the price is too high, I sell.

But when China's soybean reserves reach half a year's or even a year's consumption, no one dares to speculate.

It can be said that since 2008, although China has imported more and more soybeans, domestic soybean prices have basically been in a stable state.

Speculators have no choice but to play a seesaw between soybean oil and soybean meal, and no one dares to speculate in soybeans.

Of course, given China's population and cultivated land area, it is really impossible to be self-sufficient in staple food and soybeans at the same time.

Therefore, China's strategy has always been: it must be self-sufficient in staple foods and rely on imported soybeans.

For soybean growing areas in Northeast China, the yield of staple food per acre of land is three times that of soybeans.

If we are to achieve self-sufficiency in soybeans, there will be a shortage of more than 100 million tons of grain every year.

This is a very scary thing 003.

After weighing the pros and cons, we could only give up supplementary grains and fully ensure the supply of staple grains.

"I hope that after this time, domestic prices will be lower than in previous lives!"

This is one aspect that Yuan Zhou wants to improve after shorting soybeans.

He is not a kind person, but he also knows that the people who suffer the most in China will always be the common people, so whether it is the 10% annual income of financial management or the current short market, what Yuan Zhou has done

For the people of China, it is a good event.

Only when all the people are empowered, the overall economy, the Internet, and the mobile communication era will come faster.

Perhaps in this life, there is no need to wait until 2025 for GDP to surpass that of the United States and become the first in the world.

“There’s still a long way to go!”

Yuan Zhou opened his laptop, and then opened the programming software, the source code of WeChat. He was almost finished.

It is estimated that in three days, he will be able to conduct internal testing.

Although it was born 7 years earlier than in its previous life, Yuan Zhou believes that WeChat on the PC still has super-era lethality.

"Voice... Moments... nearby people, these functions must be added!"

Yuan Zhou was thinking while tapping the keyboard quickly.

This day, April 8, 2004, passed away quietly.

ADM Corporation Headquarters, Dickinson, Illinois, USA.

Jane Luciano arrived at the company early in the morning. As the president of ADM, the world's largest grain merchant, and the fourth generation heir of the Luciano family, he was only 31 years old and had already independently taken charge of this company, which owned nearly A world-class enterprise with a history of 100 years.

"Boss, morning!"

"boss----"

Each employee greeted him politely, Luciano nodded with a smile, and his assistant Hasen, seeing him coming, hurriedly walked towards the president's office with a stack of information in his hand.

boom!

The office door closed, and Luciano immediately changed his expression. Before he could sit on his boss's chair, he said to Hasen beside him: "China, there's still no compromise?"

Due to the time difference between the United States and China, it is now 9:30 am in New York time in the United States, while it is 10:30 pm in China, which is a full 13 hours faster.

"No!"

"Purchasing has been completely suspended. Those oppressive groups are still in the imperial capital. They are probably discussing countermeasures, right?"

Hassen said there with great respect.

Luciano snorted coldly: "What countermeasures can they come up with? We won't let go of the price of soybeans. No one can buy soybeans at a lower price than us. The soybean farmers in China are eager for higher soybean prices. The better!”

Businessmen pursue profits, which is a common trait all over the world.

Even some local bean merchants in China are the same.

The market price is nearly 4,600 yuan/ton, and Huaxia soybean farmers are also selling it at such a high price. It is precisely because of this that the four major grain merchants have almost eaten up Huaxia and have no place to buy soybeans, so they are so unscrupulous.

Although the government can take strong measures to purchase at low prices, doing so will only make soybean farmers dissatisfied. When Western countries find out about it, they will definitely criticize China again for violating business rules.

Therefore, China has not taken such measures, and it is indeed not very bright to do so.

Although soybean farmers are making malicious hype, the nature of the country's intervention is different, which will allow the West to find points of attack.

The current international situation itself is very unfavorable to China.

The lack of integrity and reneging on one's word has become a hot topic in the international news. The popularity has not slowed down at all, but has become more and more intense.

“What’s the stock price like?”

Luciano asked his assistant, and Hazen quickly said: "It has increased by 2% and has not been affected in any way!"

"Haha, those guys on Wall Street are standing with us. How could they just watch our stock price start to fall?"

"I estimate that if we give in another few hundred, China will very likely let go!"

"It's best to send someone who is familiar with China, (cebe) to negotiate privately with them, and negotiate the price of 4,000 yuan/ton!"

Luciano still wanted to cooperate with China, but Hassen on the side hesitated and said: "Boss, something was very strange yesterday!"

"What's up?"

"Someone wanted to short our company and purchased all the stocks in the short-selling pool, totaling 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, occupying a quarter of our company's equity!"

"What?!"

Luciano thought he heard wrongly: "Someone wants to short our company?"

"Short our ADM?"

It was like hearing the funniest joke in the world, Luciano was a little amused: What idiot bought it?"

"It's a fund company in China!"

Hassen said there respectfully, but Luciano laughed: "Hahaha, China, China again?"

"Those idiots don't naively think that China can win this soybean war, right?"

Luciano shook his head there and glanced at Hasson: "Give me all the information about this fund company. I want to see what kind of company this is!"

Whoosh!

Hassen submitted the Yunshi Fund information to Luciano.

This is the best assistant to the general manager of a Fortune 500 company. He always knows what his boss wants to know, so Hasen has been prepared for it.

"Yunshi Fund?"

"Is it famous? In China?"

After Luciano flipped through two pages, he couldn't help but ask Hasen. Hasen shook his head: "If you are not famous, there is no politeness in China!"

"That's it, shorting nearly a quarter of our stocks?"

"Still want to short our company?"

Luciano threw away Yunshi Fund's information: "Is this a company that is completely blind to China?"

"It should be, otherwise, I wouldn't have bought 1.5 billion!"

Hazen also agrees with his boss's opinion.

"Okay, if you send money to our company, we should welcome it!"

Luciano seemed to have completely ignored the Yunshi Fund, and waved towards Hasen: "Okay, you go down, remember what I just told you, find someone to contact the top executives of China in private, 4,000 yuan/ton At the price, we can definitely agree to their purchase!”

"OK!"

Hassen bowed and then politely withdrew.

"Hmm aldehyde?"

After Luciano waited for Hasen to walk out of the office, his face became a little distorted. This was the first time he had heard that someone wanted to short-sell their company since he took charge of ADM.

Although he didn't take Yunshi Fund seriously, he was still a little angry.

In his opinion, Yunshi Fund is despising their status as the world's number one grain merchant in the industry.

A small fund company actually wants to short a century-old Fortune 500 company?

From Luciano's point of view, this is simply whimsical and idiotic!

"It seems that I have to find someone to trade the stocks!"

"Take advantage of this opportunity to double the stock price again..."

Thinking like this, Luciano was ready to pick up the phone on the table and call his company's stock broker to ask them to help with the operation.

At least, he completely absorbed China's short-selling funds.

Although 1.5 billion is not much, it is still money!

boom!

The moment Luciano just picked up the phone, the door of his office was pushed open by Hassen.

This excellent assistant's expression was completely different from when he first walked in.

He looked at Luciano in a panic and said in disbelief: "Boss, Hua... China COFCO Group plans to sell 1 million tons of soybeans tomorrow at a price of 3,000 yuan/ton!"

Snap!

Luciano just picked up the microphone and smashed it directly on the table. He raised his head and said dumbfounded: "You... you say it again?"

****

Finally it has returned to 5 updates, I hope to keep it up in the future!

If you can write more, you will definitely write more!
