Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

2002 5 Month 3 Day.

Zhao An took a 13-hour flight to arrive in Mexico.Modongdi is located in South America, bordering on the Lighthouse Country in the north.

So even though it was May at this time, Mo Dongdi had just entered their winter, and the wind was blowing, and it was chilling.All the farms have fallen fallow, the brown ground lying dormant, waiting to be planted next spring.

Mo Dongdi is also a strong agricultural country, with flat terrain, fertile land and abundant sunshine.However, Mo Dongdi mainly exports corn.

It's not that they don't want to produce soybeans, but that compared with the lighthouse country, the yield of their soybean varieties is not high enough, but the yield of their varieties will be more than two levels lower.Not to mention that the fields of science and technology such as machinery and fertilizers are not as good as those of the lighthouse country.

The high price made their soybeans uncompetitive in the market, so they had to choose corn with lower profit margins.

Even if Mo Dongdi has taken the initiative to back down, he will not compete with the Beacon Country for international market share.But they are still the targets of the lighthouse state.

However, because Mo Dongdi has a vast land and few people, it is an ideal agricultural country.In the past few years, the three major grain merchants have been trying to cooperate with Mo Dongdi's domestic growers, appointing them to produce certain crops, and then conducting unified purchases.

It seems that they want to turn Medongdi into their agricultural colony, of course this is a colony in the modern sense.It does not rely on force or military to rule, but relies on the powerful and powerful weapon of the international market to exercise secret control.

"Mr. Zhao, you are here."

When Zhao An got off the plane, someone held his name card and received him at the pick-up gate. This was the person in charge of Nelson.

Nelson Company is Mo Dongdi's local agricultural product company, but the operating conditions have not been satisfactory in the past few years, and the profit has been in deficit.The three major grain merchants have always wanted to acquire it, and then use it to enter Mo Dongdi's agricultural market.

Fortunately, there are also internal struggles among the three major grain merchants. Everyone wants to fight for the acquisition of Nathan Company, and at the same time obstructs the other party's acquisition.This allowed Nelson to survive.

The Food Safety Company has imported some of Mo Dongdi's special ingredients from Nathan Company, so they have a little understanding of their situation.When Zhao An wanted to find a partner in Mo Dongdi's country, he immediately chose Nelson Company.

Although an enemy's enemy is not necessarily a friend, at least they have too much in common when it comes to targeting the three major grain merchants.

Tikasi, the person in charge of Nathan, directly led Zhao An and his party to the northern plains for investigation.

There is the most sunshine, and there are several wide and turbulent rivers passing by, which are inexhaustible all year round. It is the most fertile land in the entire Mexican country.

"Mr. Zhao, we have already explored, and these lands are very suitable for planting soybeans."

Yuehua technical staff said to Zhao An.Zhao An was not alone when he came to Mo Dongdi this time.He also brought a lot of professional staff, including talents in land inspection, planting planning, and machinery supply.

Others have also come to a similar opinion, thinking that Modongdi is a country very suitable for the development of agriculture.It's just that besides the persecution from the Lighthouse Country, there are many other factors that restrict Mo Dongdi's development.

For example, Mo Dongdi's land is still concentrated in the hands of a small number of landlords, Mo Dongdi's labor market is not cheap enough, production technology is not developed enough, and so on.

"Mr. Tikasi, does Nevsun have enough land to plant soybeans?"

Zhao An's question hits the nail on the head. Unlike the three major grain merchants in the Beacon Country, Nathan has already emerged from the fierce market competition and occupied the position of an oligarch.

There are at least ten companies of the same size as Nelson in Mo Dongdi.

Their current land can provide enough soybeans for a company called Shian, but that's all.

Tikasi looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to give up this opportunity. He knew very well that if he could sign a long-term cooperation contract with Huaxia Company, he would be able to avoid the price war in the Lighthouse Country to a large extent.

So he has already collected all kinds of information, and he is also aware of China's current predicament. Facing Zhao An's aggressive questioning, Tikaxi tried to reverse the offensive:

"I believe that Mr. Zhao An also knows that it is absolutely impossible for the Beacon Country to provide China with cheap soybeans in a long-term and stable manner. The reason why you came to us, Nathan, is to be prepared. Now only our brother country of Mexico can provide a large amount of soybeans." soybeans."

"I don't have to rely on you Nathan. I can buy land in your country for production. I'm just a businessman, and I don't care about the country's affairs. As long as I can produce cheap soybeans, I can sell them in China Go out. But does Nelson have such a market?"

At this time, Zhao An's expression seemed to be that of a businessman who only had money in his eyes, and he just wanted to take advantage of the price increase in the Lighthouse Country to make a fortune.

If this is Zhao An's real thought, then Nathan is not an indispensable existence for Zhao Anlai.

After some communication and negotiation, Nathan finally signed a five-year long-term contract with Zhao An.It is stipulated that Nevsun will provide a certain amount of soybeans to Food Safety every year for five years.

It's just that for the price of soybeans, Zhao An made an agreement in advance, and the delivery will be made at 580 lighthouse coins.This is already the price negotiated by Nelson and Zhao An.

At the beginning, Zhao An proposed a price of 550 lighthouse coins, which was enough to make Nathan overjoyed.

Their production cost is only about 530 yuan, which is indeed much higher than that of the lighthouse country.This is why they have no way to compete with the lighthouse country for the international market.

The investigation in Nasen only lasted about five days, because the soybeans that Nasen could provide were less than 1/10 of Zhao An's plan.

Zhao An had to run around in Mo Dongdi's country, looking for the next partner.Modern enterprises like Nessun are relatively easy to communicate with, but Mo Dongdi still has many small and medium-sized farmers, with backward production models and inconsistent soybean types...

In June, Zhao An established a company in Mo Dongdi and hired many local people.

Accompanied by these locals, Zhao An went door to door to visit the farm in person.Then negotiate with these farmers, hoping to sign a long-term soybean supply contract.

In four months, he visited more than 20 agricultural product companies in the morning and evening, and signed contracts with more than 100 farmers.

Finally, the final estimated output has reached Zhao An's goal.

No one can imagine what difficulties Zhao An encountered in the past four months?

Some Mexican farmers are very exclusionary to foreigners, and they only want to communicate with Spanish-speaking people.Even though Zhao An established a company in Mo Dongdi, they still refused to do business with Zhao An.

In addition to national discrimination, there are also various businessmen who are trying to open their mouths, and there are many smart people among them. They have already spotted Zhao An's plan and tried to raise prices. Zhao An had to deal with them.

The purchase price must be the same, otherwise, if it is leaked, the rest of the sellers will jointly protest.

Some people wonder why Zhao An can still get tanned in winter?

He will go to the farmland to conduct an actual inspection to judge whether your land is suitable for soybean production.Whether these enterprises or individual farmers are trustworthy.

Mo Dongdi's plan is closely related to China's market security, and Zhao An does not want or allow himself to make any mistakes.

Under the pressure that almost collapsed, Zhao An completed his reply on schedule.

On September 2002, 9, it was the beginning of spring in Mo Dongdi. Farmers all over the country began to prepare seeds one after another, waiting for the moment when the land would break the ice.

It was not until the moment when he saw the seeds of the earth being buried in the ground with his own eyes that Zhao An felt a little relieved.

There was no time to rest at all, and Zhao An flew back to the port city non-stop, and began to operate the futures market.

And this is Zhao An's 21 years old.

However, all efforts are rewarded. Zhao An sent all the contract materials and photos of the production site to Director Ma and other government officials.

With these materials.The government dared to accompany Zhao An in such a play.

2002. 12, 31

On the last day of 2002, the Huaxia food enterprise delegation formally signed contracts with local enterprises and farmers in Modongdi to import soybeans worth a total of 10 billion lighthouse coins.

Although these soybeans will not mature until February 2003, these soybeans are not enough to meet all the needs of the Chinese market.

But this news proved to the world that Huaxia no longer needs to rely on American soybeans.

On the same day, the price of soybean futures in the United States plummeted from 880 Beacon to 540 Beacon.

Because they believe that Huaxia will eventually buy their own soybeans, the three major grain merchants in the Beacon Country all choose to take orders at high positions, and this is one of the reasons why they are unwilling to cut prices.

As long as the delivery can be completed in the end, they will get several times the profit.

However, all the calculations, all the plans, were all shattered the moment they heard the news.

Because the three major grain merchants have already sold soybeans at a price of 800 lighthouse coins in China.At this time, if the price of soybeans is lowered rashly to sell overseas, it is undoubtedly dumping.

These batches ended up rotting in the warehouses of the three major grain merchants.

And all this is the evil result of the lighthouse country's manipulation of domestic soybean prices.

There have long been mysterious funds in the soybean futures market in Beacon Country. On December 12, they bought a large number of put options.

This incident caused a sensation at the time, after all, at that time, no investor was bearish on the soybean market in the lighthouse country.

After the price plummeted, according to the speculation of relevant financial institutions, this mysterious fund finally swept a total of nearly 5 million lighthouse coins.

No one knew that the owner of these funds signed the final contract with Mo Dongdi's businessmen at Mo Dongdi at this time as the representative of the entire China inspection team.

Zhao An faced the camera with a sincere smile.

This incident was not exposed until nearly ten years later. Some people think that this is the only time that the "God of Cookery" Zhao An has shown his talents in the financial market. However, this legendary operation has made countless financial practitioners regard Zhao An as their idol.

And all of this cast a more mysterious veil on Zhao An.
