Homo sapiens.
Page 85
In the first half of September, about 75% of the rice in Luzon has been harvested, which is also the craziest time for these speculators.
Many of them, like Fan Oka, bet all their net worth, and launched a comprehensive rice rush with Homo sapiens in Luzon.
Even ABCD gritted their teeth and squeezed out billions of dollars to secretly buy rice from Luzon.
Obviously, ABCD also wants to make up for their huge losses in the financial market and soybean spot market through this harvest.
9 month 15 day.
The average price of rice in Luzon reached a new high, reaching 78 pesos per kilogram, officially breaking through the 200% increase mark.
Now, those speculators are even more rampant.
Some people even clamored that Luzon rice would rise to 100 pesos per kilogram in October and 150 pesos per kilogram by the end of the year.
Seeing the situation in Luzon, rice producers in Siam, Annan, Tianzhu and other places became more confident, making the procurement negotiations between the two parties more difficult.
After all, they all saw that Luzon’s food chips were insufficient. If it weren’t for the joint suppression of the five major families and the continuous release of food through Homo sapiens, the price of food in Luzon would have been out of control for a long time.
Therefore, the outside world is guessing when the five major families will not be able to hold on, that is when they harvest Luzon.
Just when speculators were dancing wildly, shouting that Luzon's grain stocks were about to bottom out.
The underground conference room of Neihu Manor.
Garfield put down the assessment report in his hand: "In other words, all the fish have been hooked?"
"Yes, they have revealed their cards, and now we can play them." Jerry Zhang sneered maliciously.
Xu Yingming also said with a smile: "The second crop of rice in Hongshawadi has a bumper harvest. Currently, we can supply 700 million tons of rice. The first batch of transport ships transported 50 tons of rice, and they will start arriving at Manila Port the day after tomorrow."
"Then what are you waiting for? To launch a full-scale counterattack the day after tomorrow, I want to appreciate their free fall." Garfield joked with some wicked humor.
Chapter 151
9 month 17 day.
Mary went to work as usual.
After putting down the bicycle, she and her colleague Bell were stopped by the manager again: "Mary, go and change the price tag."
"Oh, the price of rice has risen again?" Mary has gotten used to it.
But the manager did not answer, but urged: "Go quickly, the supermarket may be busy today."
Just picking up the printed price tag, Mary glanced at it casually.
'Rising to 250? ...' she thought subconsciously, and suddenly her eyes widened, '25?Could it be a typo? '
She felt like shouting to the manager: "Manager, is the label wrong? Is it 250 pesos per kilogram?"
"It's 25. The headquarters specially notified you in the morning. Hurry up and change the label."
Hearing this answer, Mary and Ling Dang were stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on their faces. Although they can eat in the company cafeteria and buy rice with internal discounts, the current price of rice still makes their families feel a lot of pressure.
The two of them worked a lot more lightly, and quickly replaced the latest price tags on rice, soybean oil, flour, and seaweed blending oil.
And they also quickly notified their relatives and friends to come to the supermarket to buy through their mobile phones.
Many supermarket employees are tipping off the news.
At 07:30 in the morning, the supermarket opened.
"This is the ID card! Give me 50 kilograms of glutinous rice."
"Three bottles of soybean oil..."
"Fake...who stepped on my lady's slippers..."
"Don't squeeze, our supermarkets are very well stocked."
Citizens who heard the news were worried that Fengrao Supermarket would hold an event for a day or two, so they frantically bought.
Even if it is to check the ID card, each person has a limited purchase quota, which does not stop the enthusiasm of the citizens to buy. Obviously, they have been frightened by the high food price for more than a month.
Jiahai Grain and Oil Wholesale Store not far from Fengrao Supermarket.
After listening to the reports from his subordinates, the person in charge of the sales department changed his face, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. He hurriedly called his boss Fan Oka.
Half an hour later, Fan Oka, who came in a hurry, stood at the door and looked at the crowds in Fengrao Supermarket, with a cloudy expression on his face.
"Boss, why don't we also lower the price to close the position?" The person in charge of the sales department was already afraid.
Their company currently has 13 tons of rice in stock, and the average cost price has reached 53 pesos per kilogram.
Van Oka refused to close the position without even thinking about it: "Impossible, according to the price of Fengrao Supermarket, we will lose 28 pesos per kilogram of rice."
His eyes were still full of disbelief and luck: "Fengrao Supermarket must be defrauding us. This must be their conspiracy. Maybe their inventory is almost bottomed out. Yes, it must be the case. They can't deceive me."
Soon Fan Oka's cell phone rang non-stop, and his collaborators couldn't sit still.
In other words, the entire Luzon, those companies and speculators who were also speculating on rice, grain and oil, were all taken aback by the sudden price cut of Fengrao Supermarket.
Of course, these guys haven't given up yet, they are still gritting their teeth.
Obviously, their rice, flour, and edible oil cost prices are not low. Faced with the lower than usual prices in Fengrao Supermarket, if they follow suit, the prices will only be lowered even further.
This price will cost them even their pants.
Therefore, they would rather believe that Fengrao Supermarket is engaged in a conspiracy than believe that Fengrao Supermarket has sufficient inventory.
The vast majority of them, including the foreign-funded enterprises controlled by ABCD, all chose to persevere.
Now they plan to compare patience and bargaining chips with Fengrao Supermarket to see who can't hold on first.
……
On the Manila TV news that night.
In the news screen, Garfield and Lao Du appeared together in a hall.
At this time, the host's voice-over sounded in cadence: "After difficult negotiations, Homo Sapiens has completed the agricultural product procurement cooperation with Hongshawadi Development Group, Hongshawadi United Group, and Hongshawadi Green Leaf Group... "
"Before the end of this year, Hongshawadi will provide Homo Sapiens with 500 million tons of rice and 200 million tons of soybeans. Next year, the two parties will continue to expand the scope of cooperation..."
"Next is a detailed report..."
At the same time, the official website of Harvest House announced the detailed purchase details.
[...The company purchased 2400 million tons of rice from Hongshawadi at a price of 500 gold dollars per ton, and 200 million tons of genetically modified soybeans at the same price...
Subsidiary contract: Homo sapiens company transfers iron bamboo cultivation and processing technology to the three major groups in Hongshawadi, conditionally transfers 2 medium-sized shipyards, and undertakes the construction of 15 methane fermentation plants and supporting facilities. ...]
It appears that Homo sapiens was forced to sign the alliance under the castle.
Although Hongshawadi also needs to pay the purchase and construction costs in the subsidiary contract, the two parties are bartering.
But now everyone in Southeast Asia knows that Homo sapiens must suffer a lot under the gold dollar trading model of Hongshawadi.
But in fact, Homo sapiens just took advantage of this opportunity to transfer some of the technologies that had been exposed to the public to the Hongshawadi branch through this transaction.
At the same time, it also reasonably obtained a stable food supply channel.
You must know that in this contract, the contract between Homo sapiens and Hongshawadi is not only a deal for this year, but a long-term contract of up to 5 years.
Obviously, in the eyes of the outside world, Homo Sawadi is willing to supply food to Luzon at a low price for five consecutive years, and Sapiens must have paid a huge price.
This just happened to make Homo sapiens and Garfield hype up the tragic character design in Luzon.
You see, in order to feed everyone, the five major families and the Homo sapiens company have cut meat to buy food, and everyone still does not support it, which is simply unreasonable.
Instantly aroused the sympathy and common hatred of the people.
And with a boatload of rice and soybeans arriving in Manila port.
The price of rice in Luzon collapsed instantly.
The stampede-like sell-off brought rice in the Manila area to 18 pesos per kilogram that day.
Those speculators who held a large amount of high-priced rice were directly smothered in this slaughter.
On the top floor of Jiahai Company's office building, Fan Oka was already dumbfounded, and he put down the TV remote control with trembling hands.
The company executives on the side stood there, not daring to show their atmosphere.
"Ahhh...my money!" Fan Oka yelled frantically, then swept away the computer and documents on the desk, and cried:
"Woo... I don't believe it..."
"Boss, I'm so sorry. Now that the inventory is released, we can still reduce some of the losses. We haven't reached the point of bankruptcy yet." The person in charge of the sales department said bravely.
"Hehe...it's over...I mortgaged the rice to the bank and borrowed 6 million pesos..."
"What?" The person in charge of the sales department finally knew why the company had the money to buy so much rice. It turned out to be a loan from the bank.
This loan apparently became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Suddenly Fan Oka's expression became very crazy: "No more! Everything is gone!"
After he finished speaking, he rushed to the top floor, but the others did not dare to stop them. They watched Fan Aoka jump from the top of the 8th floor.
Fan Oka's fat body fell freely in the air, and then slammed heavily on the concrete floor beside the road.
The blood is like a blooming flower, exaggerating the filth and sin.
The passers-by around were screamed or panicked by the sudden flesh and blood.
Manila tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Many of those speculators who were blown out of their positions directly chose to jump off buildings, jump into the sea, or swallow guns, ending their greedy life.
And another storm is inevitable.
Chapter 152
North America.
Cargill's headquarters.
At this time, it has fallen into a gloomy atmosphere.
The president Wade's face was very ugly, and the face of the chairman Xiao William who was opposite him was even darker than the bottom of a pot.
"Who can tell me? What happened to the rice in Hongsawadi?"
Foster Nietzsche, who is in charge of market research, replied tremblingly: "Chairman, we don't know much about Hongshawadi, especially this year they have strengthened entry verification and restrictions. We can only use satellite remote sensing. Analyze their rice production."
boom!Little William slapped the table directly: "Fake squid, your analysis report has not been changed at all, and you just copied the data from previous years. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Foster secretly complained in his heart: "It's not that you asked to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Do you think commercial satellites don't need money?"Who would look specifically at a small country. '
Wade sighed: "Huh... Mr. Chairman, our food war in Southeast Asia has obviously failed now. The rice in Hongshawadi is enough to supply Luzon. We lost another 5.3 million in rice futures today. , and another 3.2 million invested in Luzon grain, I am afraid it will be trapped."
Hearing such a terrible loss, everyone's heart was bleeding.
Many people may think that the price of rice in Luzon has collapsed, and ABCD can sell these rice internationally.
At this time, in the international market, although the price of rice was affected by the Luzon Rice War and the sudden birth of Hongshawadi rice, there was a significant decline in the price of rice.
However, the international price of rice remains around US$430 per ton.
After all, the impact of the reduction in soybean production is too great, making it difficult for the prices of other grains to fall.
But ABCD understands that it is easy for rice to enter Luzon, but it is very difficult to get rice out of Luzon.
Just the fact that Luzon recently raised the rice export tariff to 300% is enough to make many grain traders vomit blood.
What's more, the current operators of ports, railways and highways in Luzon are backed by the five major families and Homo sapiens companies, who can set high charging standards in a targeted manner, making the transportation costs of grain merchants unbearably high.
This is also the reason why Fan Oka and others chose to jump off the building.
Grain can be stored and sold to local people, but even a grain of rice cannot be shipped out of the country. Faced with this restriction, speculative grain traders either sell it locally at a low price, or they can only continue to store it.
If you rely on your own funds, it is just a loss of money.
But many speculative grain merchants have borrowed a lot of money from the bank. Now that the price of rice in the country has fallen below the floor, they have to pay back the money and bear the loss of low rice prices.
This time, Homo sapiens' sickle was very sharp, cutting fast and hard.
In the previous process of raising the price of rice, they first secretly fueled the flames, and then secretly asked local cooperatives to sell a batch of rice to these speculators at a high price, and at the same time asked banks to provide mortgage loans to these speculators.
Now directly and accurately explode the rice price in Luzon, lock up a group of speculators in the high position of rice, and quickly lock the channels for Luzon's grain export, completing the smothering layout.
In addition, in the international futures market, through the news of the Luzon rice war and the rice production capacity of Hongshawadi, ABCD was cheated again.
