The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 3238: Food speculation

"Wang??????." Zhao Gao cautiously followed behind King Qin and said to King Qin worryingly.

"Ok". As soon as King Qin said, Zhao Gao knew that he was wrong.

"Master Qin." Zhao Gao quickly changed his words.

"Yeah." King Qin nodded, then looked back at Zhao Gao.

"Naturally, it finally got a little colder this day. I went out and took a look at this. It was not easy." Qin Wang turned around and said to Zhao Gao. King Qin was very willing to go out and walk, because the Qin Kingdom has changed a lot in Xianyang. Although there are related reports in the newspapers. But for many things, King Qin still hopes to see it for himself, or in other words, only by personal experience can he feel such an atmosphere.

However, it is a pity that it is difficult to guarantee the safety of King Qin’s travel, because Xianyang has a large population and is very diverse. Although the crime rate is not very high, there are also crimes. This poses a great threat to King Qin’s safety. Not only that, King Qin’s Many people know the real faces, thanks to the development of photography technology, coupled with the broadcast of a large number of news propaganda, it is difficult to forget. Therefore, it is very difficult for King Qin to come out by himself, because it is easy to be recognized.

King Qin was very distressed about this, but there were also occasions. For example, in winter, people generally wear thick clothes. King Qin can change into civilian clothes and come out. With the help of masks, he can see a lot of him. Things you can't feel in the newspaper.

"Master Qin, let's be careful. There are many people here and it's very complicated." Zhao Gao said to King Qin carefully.

"I know, I just want to go to a crowded place to see, hey, what's the place ahead? Let's go and have a look." As King Qin said, he saw a street full of people, people walking in a hurry. King Qin had seen such people a lot. There are such people in Qin State Xianyang every day. King Qin is not surprised at all, because there are so many such people.

"Wang, oh, Lord Qin, that is the financial street of Qin State, it is the largest financial center of Qin State, but there are two financial streets, one in Xianyang City and the other in Chang'an District. This street in Xianyang City is mainly for stocks. The place where bonds, futures are traded, and the one in Chang'an District is more complicated. There are high-rise buildings and a large number of people. They are mainly engaged in a series of projects such as lending, investment, and risk assessment." Zhao Gao told Qin Wang Explained.

"Well, are there many areas like Qin State?" King Qin asked. King Qin knew the distribution of streets in Xianyang, but King Qin didn't know exactly what that street was for. For example, King Qin knew that the north was mainly processed, such as ironware, processing in various factories, and of course mechanical machine tool design, etc., while in Chang'an District there are large teaching areas, research areas, office areas, and commercial areas. The population of King Qin was quite dense. King Qin still tried to get out of there. After all, the situation there was not what King Qin hoped it would be. There were too many people there.

"Master Qin, the state of Qin was very concentrated before, but with the further development of the financial industry in the state of Qin, this kind of distribution began to increase, but some large financial companies are willing to concentrate or build a special building. High-rise buildings, because in that case, can show their financial resources." Zhao Gao explained.

"Yeah. It seems that you come here often." King Qin said to Zhao Gao after hearing this. Zhao Gao nodded cautiously, he didn't deny it.

Qin's official family members can do business, but they should try to avoid revealing political dynamics to gain economic benefits, and the situation in the palace is more complicated. However, eunuchs can still come out to do business. This is the policy of the Qin government to encourage taxation. With such a policy, Zhao Gao can also run some of his own projects.

"Go, let's take a look, maybe we can make some money too." King Qin said to Zhao Gao excitedly. Zhao Gao and King Qin could only go near the financial street of Qin State to take a look.

State of Zhao, Handan.

"At present, there are two ways for our food. One is wheat from the West, Qin. Most of us in Zhao people like to eat flour, while rice comes from the South, mainly from Chu. We don’t like it, but we can also eat some. , This is the current situation." The Minister of Food said.

"I think it seems unlikely that the people of Qin can provide us with more wheat, and we can't grow so much wheat at once. The only way is to import rice from Chu. This is the best way. And, we know Although the price of rice in Chu country has risen. However, there are still a large amount of rice in some colonial planting areas. With such a large amount of rice, it can be very helpful for us. This will further stabilize prices. "The Minister of Food said.

"Well, import rice and give up the import of wheat?" Guo Kai asked after looking at the report. Now Guo Kai has to pay attention to everything that is happening now, because the rise in food has made the situation of Zhao Guo workers worse, and the Labor Party has continued Attacked the government and severely accused the government of slack on the food issue. This caused a lot of panic to the Conservative Party, because they would lose quite a lot of votes. Stimulated by the votes, Guo Kai had to pay attention to this issue.

"In my opinion, the fundamental problem is that we have to solve the problem of our food sources. We all know that there are very few grain producing areas in the country of Zhao. I know, I read a report saying that we have land in many places. Most of them are abandoned. The land is concentrated and no wheat is planted. Because the price of wheat has risen sharply, most of them plan to plant cash crops such as cotton." Guo Kai said.

"And Qin's low-priced wheat poses a great threat to our agriculture. Such a threat does exist. It is a very bad thing for us. But we have no way. Qin people can They provide a large amount of interest-free loans to their agriculture, but we cannot do it, we cannot provide such a large amount of loans, and many of our agricultural planting costs are very high and it is difficult to withstand that much low-priced food." Guo Kai said directly.

Under the crazy impact of Qin's low-priced wheat, it has been difficult for Zhao's wheat cultivation to be promoted on a large scale, because the cost of wheat in Qin's country is less than two and two dollars, but the result of Zhao's planting is three and two. This means that farmers who have undergone large-scale land mergers cannot obtain sufficient benefits from the land because their costs cannot be reduced below the cost line of the Qin State. This is a very bad situation for them.

Under such low-cost food competition, most of Zhao’s land does not grow food but grows cash crops, such as cotton. This is a crop that has recently emerged, because South Korea needs a lot of cotton. Their textile industry is developing rapidly. In contrast, cotton can bring a lot of profits, and growing food is purely a loss of money, under such a big impact. The food has risen naturally.

"So, Prime Minister, we must solve our food problem in the next step. If the food problem cannot be solved, this will have a great impact on our food safety, and the impact on us will be very large." The Ministry of Food said .

"I know this, but it needs to solve the land problem. Only by developing a large amount of land can we completely solve the food problem, otherwise everything is for nothing." Guo Kai said clearly.

"However, the most important thing at the moment is to obtain a large amount of grain from Qin and Chu as soon as possible. Without grain, it will be difficult for us to further resolve the food crisis." Guo said painfully at the beginning. He can only hand it over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or spend more money to buy food.

Qingcheng, South Korea.

"The number of ships transporting food has been reduced by half. Why is this?" Zhang Qing asked the assistant next to him, who was responsible for contacting and paying attention to these matters.

"Well. We investigated. Mayor, the situation is not good for us. The food prices in the northern countries are constantly rising. The price of wheat in Qin almost exceeded four and a half. And the price of food in Zhao also exceeded two silver coins. . This is the highest price ever." said the assistant.

"So, I want to know the reason, not these situations." Zhang Qing asked anxiously. South Korea no longer produces food on a large scale. Most of the areas around Xinzheng are vegetable centers. In other areas, more land is used to build factories, that is, there is land to grow food, and there are also some high-level food areas. Because the price of food is too low, many people who are affected cannot grow food. They can only grow some cash crops.

"It's speculation, Mr. Mayor, I heard that we need food, Zhao people also need food, Qi people also need food, but the food itself may not be enough, then they began to hoard on a large scale, and then gather more food. Speculation." The assistant replied.

"Damn speculation." Zhang Qing scolded. For speculation, he felt a headache, or in other words, he felt that such a thing was a big trouble for them.

"We need a lot of food now, but they are speculating. Damn it, it's really disgusting. If we can speculate a lot of places from other regions, we can definitely kill their grain speculation." Zhang Qing said. Qingcheng is a large port. Because there is a railway connecting the inland, the price of food here is directly related to Xinzheng, South Korea, and some countries in the north. The price of food can affect the stability of the country, and the increase in food prices has not yet affected the stability of the country.

"But, Mr. Mayor, we have no choice because a large amount of food is in the hands of Chu people. They can sell to us or to other people, and we cannot interfere with them. This is our current difficulty. We are There is no way to solve such a thing." The assistant said helplessly.

"Well, okay. I know about such a thing. I really don’t know how far this will happen, and that is, the food we imported from the south, no, when will the food from Queen’s Island be available? Arrived?" Zhang Qing asked.

"This is not clear. I don't think it will take long. But there is not much food there. It will take at least five months to reach more food. They have already reduced the planting of sugarcane on a large scale and switched to planting. Rice. But it will take some time. I just don’t know if we can hold on to that time.” The assistant said.

"Don't worry, we will stick to it." Zhang Qing said. He feels that food is definitely not a problem.

Qin State, Xianyang. Futures exchange. King Qin and Zhao Gao looked around here, but no one paid attention to them. Even if they were King Qin, no one paid attention to them because they were paying attention to the increase in food prices.

"You said, wheat will rise. I think it has risen very sharply. It has almost doubled. Such a price has never been seen before." An investor said.

"I think it may increase. After all, the price of food has been low for a long time. Now I think it should increase because low-priced things cannot be maintained for a long, long time. This in itself violates economic rules, and , You see, it has risen now. It will definitely rise a big step. I think we should wait patiently. At least for us, it is still very beneficial." Another investor said tomorrow. But King Qin had quietly arrived here, and he realized that the increase in grain had a lot to do with these speculators to a large extent.

"But I think we should analyze these things from several other aspects, because our Qin State's low-priced grains, and Chu State's low-priced rice, these factors have directly impacted the fact that grain prices cannot rise to an astonishing height. Such a situation is a great help to us. Think about it, this kind of low-priced food is maintained for a long period of time, which directly impacts the food production of various countries. If they grow food, it will They will face great cost competition. This competition will continue for a long time. For them, it is a huge disaster. They simply cannot bear such a disaster. In contrast, our situation It has become much better. Our food has advantages, so it can go on for a long time, but this is also a disadvantage for our food production in the long run. However, such low-price dumping has caused a big consequence. This consequence is , We directly suppressed their food production. Now they have no food because they do not produce food, but at this time they need food. Because there are many food markets, they need to solve them through competition. The food problem of China, therefore. The price of food naturally rises.” An investor analyzed. King Qin nodded. I think what the other party said is very reasonable, because King Qin also knows that Qin’s low-priced wheat has long affected the grain production of Zhao and South Korea. Even Qi cannot face such a shock, so Qi’s production has also entered non-production. In the state. Or they choose to plant more cash crops, because these cash crops are nothing to them.

On the contrary, cash crops can also bring great profits. Faced with such profitable projects, they can easily lose themselves and choose cash crops.

"There are cash crops everywhere, and there is no food there. Therefore, there is still a lot of room for food to rise. We should analyze the basic supply and demand relationship. Instead of just looking at the arrival of food." The investor said .

"What do you think of it?" King Qin asked Zhao Gao.

"Well, Lord Qin, I think what they said is very reasonable, but we still don't want to participate in such risky things. After all, it is very dangerous." Zhao Gao said.

"Hehe, since it makes sense, naturally I have to do something that makes sense. Anyway, I am still idle now. You go to the counter over there, open an account, and we also sell grain. We should do this speculative thing. This is for We are good to Qin." King Qin said to Zhao Gao.

"This." Zhao Gao was a little embarrassed. But he knew that King Qin was an order.

"Okay, Lord Qin, I will go now." Zhao Gao nodded and said. He left to open an account as he said, he was worried that there would be great fluctuations, after all, King Qin was here.

However, King Qin seemed to be very interested here. He walked back and forth to listen to some information, and then analyzed the correctness of what the investors said based on what he heard and saw. After all, the information that King Qin had was the information they could not have.

"Look at it, wheat has gone up. It has gone up. Oh my god, it broke four and a half. This price may continue." Many investors shouted in surprise. Then they started to get busy, and King Qin also felt the atmosphere and ran to the counter, urging Zhao Gao to hurry up, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make any money. In desperation, Zhao Gao could only speed up.

In Li Wen's office, Li Wen received a telegram from Chu State. This telegram came from a reporter who told him an amazing news.

"Unexpectedly, Chu people also thought of using futures to persuade them to trade rice." Li Wen said to his assistant after reading the telegram.

"Sir, is this the direct cause of today's rise?" the assistant asked carefully.

"Yes, this is the direct cause of today's rise. Once the people of Chu control the transaction, it will have a great speculative effect. After all, the food gap in various countries is still very large, and the increase in demand and the reduction in production will directly There is no way to cause food to rise. This is speculation. If there is no such speculation, it is difficult for us to do such a thing. We should understand the consequences of doing this." Li Wen nodded and said.

"If this is the case, what should we do?" the assistant asked.

"Participate, push them up, go to Chu, and go to Chu to buy such rice. We have to push the price up. If the rice rises, the price of wheat will also rise. This is a brand new variety for us. This is a linked price variety, which is very useful to us." Li Wen said.
