Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

December 12, Beacon Domestic

Director Ma and the delegation have been staying in the Lighthouse Country for more than a month. During this period, the three major grain merchants have continuously raised the price of soybeans, and the spot soybeans have reached 800 Lighthouse Coins.

The soaring price of soybeans in the lighthouse country has sparked discussions internationally, and everyone is paying attention to this war.

Because such an exaggerated price change is only possible in the lighthouse country, and this change will also affect the world.

First of all, Beacon Country is currently the main exporter of soybeans in the world, controlling more than 60% of the world's soybean production lines.

This is doomed that apart from Huaxia's purchase of soybeans from the lighthouse country, there is no other country in the world that can provide Huaxia with enough soybeans.

Secondly, only the lighthouse country can control the final commodity selling price while soybeans are rising.Because the three major grain merchants not only control the production market, but also the sales market.

No matter how the price of soybeans rises, for the three major grain merchants, the profits will be redistributed within the entire group company.Domestic soybean products will not rise because of rising soybean prices.

This means that the three major grain merchants do not have to worry about any other market competing with them for market share.

But it is different for Huaxia enterprises.Once the cost of soybeans rises, if you want to keep the profit margin of the enterprise unchanged, the corresponding soybean processed products must increase in price accordingly.

Enterprises have to transfer the cost of soybeans to consumers, and then they will face counterattacks from the consumer market.

If China has not joined the WTO now, it can also prevent the entry of foreign products by setting tariffs.

But Huaxia has now promised to the WTO to reduce tariffs on agricultural products, including processed soybean products.If the three major grain merchants are willing, they may even have the opportunity to occupy the domestic soybean processing market.

Even considering transportation costs, processing costs, etc., Huaxia companies still do not have an advantage, and the entire market is already in jeopardy.

"Director Ma, do we want to agree to the conditions of the three major grain merchants? Let the government tell us, we are not having a good time now."

The person in charge of Hualiang is the person in charge of Huaxia. Hualiang is a company with the prefix Huaxia Guo. It holds the right to purchase all of Huaxia's basic grains such as rice, wheat, and rice. It is also involved in other food industry fields. It is the largest grain company in Huaxia. , is also known as the fifth largest grain merchant in the world.

However, what the person in charge of Hualiang said was not exaggerated in the slightest. Recently, Yuehualiang had a hard time in the soybean market.

Although soybeans are not a basic grain, soybean oil is a high-profit market, while soybean meal is an important material in the meat market, which consumes a lot, and the entire market is interlocking.

Originally, in September, the soybeans of the current season should be used for production, but Hualiang respected the opinions of the government and did not accept the prices of the three major grain merchants. As a result, the domestic soybean product inventory is now in a hurry.

The shelves of Hualiang soybean oil in supermarkets around the world have already appeared empty, and some small and medium-sized enterprises have replaced them with soybean oil. How could Hualiang not be in a hurry.

Several other large companies also echoed, and they are all companies that persisted until the end.

In addition to expressing their loyalty to the government, they also know that if even big companies like them invest directly, then China's soybean market will really fall.

"In any case, Huaxia must ensure the basic scale of domestic soybean planting next year."

Obviously last year, the price of domestic soybeans was still too high, but now everyone has begun to miss domestic soybeans again.

"Let's not talk about whether the Lighthouse Congress will manipulate soybean prices again to hit domestic farmers. What we have to consider now is how to get through this year's difficulties. We can't really stop producing soybean oil for a year, right? The oil machine will be damaged."

Another representative said worriedly.

Everyone chattered and discussed, and finally someone said what everyone has been hiding in their hearts:

"Director Ma, why don't you open a warehouse to release food?"

Food is the strategic reserve material of each country, and its importance is no less than energy materials such as oil. Every country has its own national food reserve.

In China, the reserves of staple grains such as rice and wheat are fixed at a three-year consumption level. Although soybeans are not a staple grain, the nominal storage capacity is no less than one year's consumption.

If the country/country is willing to open warehouses to release grain, at least this year can survive.

However, Director Ma, who had always been amiable after listening to everyone's casual discussion, suddenly scolded seriously:

"Nonsense, can you talk about things like opening warehouses and releasing grain? Don't bring up these bad ideas."

Since it is a strategic reserve, it means that these grains are often used in emergencies, such as major events that really involve national security, or large-scale wars.

It's just that the soybean market is controlled, and it is not yet a critical moment for the country, so opening warehouses to release grain will not be considered for the time being.

This is also the reason why the Beacon Country once again threatened Huaxia with soybeans for more than ten years, and Huaxia did not dare to open warehouses to release grain rashly.

If you get to that step, the country's cards will be fully revealed, and it will only attract more violent attacks from the enemy.

After the entire meeting room was quiet for a while, someone mustered up the courage to say:

"Then Director Ma, you called us here for a meeting today, you have to give us a reassurance, it's a thing to spend all the time here."

"Wait, it should be here soon."

Director Ma looked down at the watch on his right wrist, he was also a little anxious, and cursed in a low voice:

"Damn kid, didn't he say he would arrive at ten o'clock? What time is it now, and he asked me to help him gather everyone together for a meeting."

While everyone was waiting curiously, the door of the conference room was finally pushed open.

The person who came was wearing a royal blue suit, with a tall and straight body and handsome facial features. He didn't look like the person in charge of the company who came to the meeting at all, but like a domineering president in an idol drama.

All the high-level figures of various large companies were present. They couldn't help laughing when they saw the president on TV. How could a president be so good-looking.

But God is never fair. For example, the man in front of him made many people in charge feel ashamed. He really is a hero born out of a boy.

"Mr. Zhao, why did you show up? We thought you were going to miss this inspection meeting."

"We all thought that Mr. Zhao had switched careers to do financial investment. The operation of the domestic futures market before made us country bumpkins admire him."

Some people were joking, but some people thought of the recent changes in soybean futures in the Lighthouse Country, and an unbelievable thought flashed in their minds, and they asked cautiously:

"Currently, the soybean futures in the Beacon Country will not be controlled by Mr. Zhao again, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became a lot more dignified. They have all been miserable by the rise in soybean prices recently.

Although they didn't think that Zhao An had the financial resources to influence the futures market in Beacon Country, this weird price fluctuation was too similar to the changes in the domestic soybean market.It's just one up and one down.

The person who came was Zhao An, with a polite and friendly smile, Zhao An said:

"Everyone thinks highly of me too. I don't have the strength to control the market of the Lighthouse Country."

This is the truth. If you want to manipulate the entire market, it is impossible to have more than a billion Beacon coins. Even if you have enough funds, you may be attacked by other capital. For example, the three major grain merchants suffered a lot of hidden losses this time. .

It's just that Zhao An added another sentence in his heart: It's just that I ate the fattest piece of meat ahead of the three major grain merchants.

Zhao An didn't dare to say this sentence, if he really let others know about his recent earnings. Zhao An would never want to take off the hat of "making money in trouble for the country".

"Then what did Director Zhao come to the Lighthouse Country today?"

When the person in charge of Hualiang said this, he glanced at Director Ma who was sitting in the main seat, and he already had the answer in his heart.

Sure enough, after Zhao An and Director Ma looked at each other, Zhao An went directly to Director Ma and said to everyone:

"Christmas is coming soon, which is the most important festival in the Beacon Country. I hope everyone will join me in giving a gift to the three major grain merchants."

"Give them gifts? Mr. Zhao, have you ever seen them arrogantly? They don't take us Huaxia seriously at all. They think they've got us. Believe me, give them the best gifts." , they will not promise to lower the price.”

One person in charge said bluntly that he had had enough of the anger of the three major grain merchants during this time, and he was unwilling to give them gifts.

Hearing such complaints, Zhao An was not angry, but the smile on his face became more obvious.This time it wasn't a polite smile, but an evil smile with a hint of revenge.

"Then we have to give them gifts. Believe me, they will never forget this gift."

This time, Zhao An no longer gave everyone a chance to discuss or speak, but told everyone about his plan.

Especially when talking about the layout and harvest of the past year, the expressions of all European company representatives changed.

Is this really a joke?

A private company, not even a listed company, has so much money and the courage to do such a big thing?

Everyone was listening to Zhao An's explanation attentively, and at the same time took out a pen and paper to record the key steps and figures.

Everyone is very familiar with the soybean market in the cabinet, and knows various data such as soybean gap, turnover rate, production time, cost, profit, etc. At this time, a simple comparison can determine whether Zhao An's plan is feasible.

The only premise is that there is no exaggeration in what Zhao An said.

So after Zhao An explained the plan, everyone turned their attention to Director Ma, who had the highest status present.

Even though Director Ma had already heard Zhao An explain his plan, and even discussed it with the ministers of the Ministry of Commerce and Agriculture, but listening to it again at this time, he still admired Zhao An's courage.

He nodded and said:

"What Zhao An said, the government has known about it for a long time, and it has been filed. This is why I have been forcing everyone not to sign contracts with the three major grain merchants for the time being. In addition to the companies with the prefix of the country, there are several As a private enterprise, thank you for your trust in the country. So, please trust Zhao An again now."

There were only about ten people in charge present, and Director Ma had investigated their files to make sure that everyone was trustworthy before letting Zhao An tell everyone the final plan.

He believed that in the face of big right and wrong, these people still have their own bottom line, after all, they are all Chinese.

"Since Director Ma has said so, of course we can rest assured."

"Mr. Zhao, this time I, Lao Lei, really convinced you."

"We will all support your plan!"

Everyone is full of confidence, waiting for the arrival of Christmas Eve.
