Chapter 2159 The Eve of Collapse

Franklin smiled and said, "I sincerely admire your ability. You will definitely achieve great things."

At this moment, Bai Rulei has become a tool for passing messages. Franklin and the person on the other end of the phone have developed a feeling of mutual understanding.

Afterwards, Bai Rulei and he drafted a simple agreement, and the deal was done.

After Franklin left, Bai Rulei let out a long sigh and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Uncle, brother-in-law, the matter has been settled, but I don't feel any sense of accomplishment at all."

Not only did he not feel a sense of accomplishment, he also felt a little frustrated.

On the other end of the line were Chief Bai and Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Cousin, the cooperation with the hot money was completed by you independently. You have definitely made great contributions in the food war."

Bai Rulei smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle and you are in charge of the plan. I am just a front man, not worth mentioning at all. If someone else were to replace me, they could still accomplish the task... I want to ask, isn't it too much of a loss to give all this food to foreigners?"

"If we run another shell company, there will be no loss of food, and the news can also be released."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said nothing.

Chief Bai said calmly, "Rulei, you still need to strengthen your way of doing things. According to your approach, we can indeed save some money, but the risks are uncontrollable. The four major grain merchants are not idiots. They are very meticulous in their work and their information network is pervasive. They will sign the strictest confidentiality agreement with each other and formulate offensive and defensive alliances. Similarly, they will also verify the true identity of the people who purchase grain."

"A shell company cannot withstand any investigation. We need to ensure victory and we must pay a price for this. This is the overall situation. It is impossible to achieve complete victory without paying any price."

Bai Rulei suddenly realized and said sincerely: "My uncle and brother-in-law are really thoughtful. If you didn't take the lead and let me do what I want, I would definitely fail."

This matter was indeed difficult to handle. Liu Fusheng's planning and strategizing took a lot of effort. In the previous life, the Tang family also worked hard, considered many things, and paid a lot of price before they achieved the final victory.

Countless thrilling things happened beneath the seemingly calm water surface.

International grain traders are still unaware that they have fallen into the rhythm of others.

According to the results of the discussion, they also sold the stockpiled grain at a 40% discount through the market.

This time, the mysterious seller did not try to stop it, and soon hot money came to negotiate the acquisition with the four major grain traders.

The four major grain traders made careful selection and finally reached a purchase and sale agreement with a hot money investor named Franklin, because this guy was very famous in the international investment community and because he bargained the least, saying 40% off and it went without further negotiation on the price.

You know, other hot money is aiming for a 35% to 38% discount, and the bottom line of international grain traders is indeed 35% off.

Franklin took the initiative and reduced the losses of the four major grain traders.

After the two parties completed the transaction, the international grain traders immediately purchased all the grain sold by the Republic.

After completing this acquisition, the four major grain traders celebrated.

Someone, smoking a cigar, said, "The Republic is finished. We have bought out their last stocks. I wonder what else they can use to fight us."

Another person laughed and said, "The Republic should be in chaos right now. According to our inside information, they have even put their strategic grain reserves on the market. As long as we continue to steadily increase grain prices and join forces with other countries to issue an embargo on the Republic, there will definitely be severe unrest in their country."

The white-haired foreigner said, "Senior leaders of the Republic have contacted me. They are friends of the United States and have dealt with us several times before. They also believe that the turmoil in the Republic is about to begin, and they want to seek help from the United States to gain their own interests. We can also take this opportunity to change the Republic. As the biggest beneficiary and supporter, the Republic's agriculture and food control will be in your and my hands in the future."

The foreigner holding a cigar said with a smile: "With a population of more than one billion and a vast land, if this place can become our food production and dumping base, we are fully qualified to stand at the top of the world."

These people became more and more excited as they talked. They all knew very well that with the market size of the Republic, once they controlled it, they would become the true gods on earth.

Unfortunately, just as they were toasting to celebrate, a bolt from the blue suddenly hit the international market.

The Republic once again sold a large amount of grain to the international market. The price was very low and the quantity was very high. The total price was so high that the four major grain traders could not afford to eat it anyway.

There was a bang.

A tall red wine glass fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned. They passed the news to each other in disbelief.

"Why does the Republic still have grain reserves? This is unscientific!" someone suddenly shouted.

Another person also shouted at the top of his voice: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, the expert from the Republic of China whom I contacted personally assured me that there is no surplus food in the country!"

Someone next to him said angrily, "You're still telling us your news? Your news has screwed us over!"

The third person echoed: "Yes, either you have been deceived, or you are a traitor. In any case, you idiot have caused us to suffer heavy losses!"

The grain merchants were in chaos, shouting at each other.

Among them, those who were in good condition had sad faces, and those who were in bad condition were even on the verge of collapse. After all, all the funds in their hands were invested in the market, and they were unable to raise more money in the short term.

Once the Republic's grain is not completely consumed, they can calmly stabilize grain prices and restore the prices that grain merchants had previously worked so hard to raise to their original levels, or even lower.

If that happens, the four major grain traders will lose all their money.

As they were arguing, someone suddenly said, "Everyone, I think something is a little strange. Do you think the grain that the Republic is selling is the grain in Franklin's hands? Is he a spy sent by the Republic to eat our grain?"

Everyone gasped.

The grain merchant who was responsible for contacting Franklin immediately called his assistant and asked for details.

Others were also quietly waiting for the assistant's reply.

A few minutes later, the assistant said, "Gentlemen, after investigation, the grain we delivered to Franklin has not been moved and is still stored in his warehouse."

Everyone was relieved at once. As long as Franklin was not a member of the Republic, they would not be fooled too badly.
