Chapter 768 Food prices skyrocketed!
·
Ku Ku Mao
Two more days passed.
President's Office of Golden Rice Building.
Khadgar held a pitch-black walkie-talkie and sat in the boss's chair, his eyes serious and fiery.
This pitch-black walkie-talkie is called "the Sword of Damocles in the food world" by people from the Foundation.
Whenever this intercom is turned on, the CEOs of the four major grain merchants under them will start a new grain war!
"It's noon."
Khadgar glanced at his watch, picked up the walkie-talkie, and pressed the bright red button on it vigorously!
"Children, a new gold-grabbing feast has begun!"
"Please use your skills to your heart's content and push the price of food to the sky!"
As Khadgar's order was issued, the CEOs of the four major grain merchants immediately began to show off their magical powers!
"Immediately notify the news media in the 100 countries that cooperate with our company and ask them to issue a press release stating that "mass production of soybeans this year will be reduced by 70%"! "
"Inform the company's 6250 grain agents around the world and ask them to immediately tighten their soybean distribution. No matter how exaggerated the market price is, not a single bean is allowed to be sold without an order from the head office!"
"Go and notify those major grain-producing countries, let them stage a war drama, and at the same time interrupt all grain transportation channels of those major grain-producing countries!"
"Hey, are you the oil king? I am President Khadgar's subordinate. In the next month, please cooperate with us in raising the price of crude oil. I want people around the world to stop burning oil in the next month." Burning food'!"
After the "Sword of Damocles in the Grain Industry" was launched, the CEOs of the four major grain merchants began to unite global capital and conduct the first round of grain price speculation.
As the quality of life of people around the world continues to improve, every household has begun to have higher requirements for food, and meat has become a necessity for people in peacetime.Anyone who knows how to cook knows that cooking oil is an indispensable ingredient for stir-frying meat and vegetables.
The first round of food price speculation among the four major grains was conducted on soybeans, the raw material of "edible oil".
First of all, news media in 100 countries around the world that have cooperation with the four major grain merchants began to issue press releases!
"According to the World Food Reserve Organization report, soybean production in major soybean-producing countries has plummeted this year due to the greenhouse effect, tornadoes, floods and other disasters. According to expert calculations, soybean production this year will be reduced by at least 70%."
"One minute of fertilizer, one minute of grain; very much fertilizer, a warehouse full of grain. Fertilizer, a chemical closely related to grain production, is becoming an "invisible hand" threatening global food security as its price continues to rise. Recently, CF Company, the world's largest nitrogen fertilizer manufacturer, announced that the global operating rate has dropped, supply has decreased, and the balance of global nitrogen supply and demand has tightened. Global fertilizers will see a sharp rise. The increase in fertilizer prices may lead to a reduction in global food production, among which beans will bear the brunt. product."
"According to the World Meteorological Organization, rising temperatures and intensified droughts caused by climate change may lead to a reduction in global food crop production. Among them, beans, which people are accustomed to, will decrease by 70% this year."
"..."
In this way, the media from various countries are bribed to speculate on soybean price increases at any cost, and the natural effect is amazing!
On the day the news was sent out, the price of soybeans in various countries around the world immediately doubled!
This shocked all grain distribution channels around the world!
Because in the past 20 years, the highest increase in soybean prices was only a doubling in one month.
And now, the price has doubled in one day!
This rise is so fierce that it’s a bit scary!
Logically speaking, with such a terrifying increase, according to the rules, soybean dealers around the world should happily open warehouses to sell grain and make a lot of money.
However, something strange happened again!
On this day, grain distribution channels all over the world unanimously said: "Grain is sold out!"
They don't sell it!
No matter how many grain distribution channel dealers say, they will either say that they are out of grain, or that the new batch of goods has not arrived yet. In short, in short, "we will not sell"!
The grain dealers did not release the goods, and the goods distributed by the grain distribution channels were very limited, and they were all sold out very quickly.
This led to a new round of rise in soybean prices.
In just three days.
The price of soybeans has skyrocketed from 24 yuan to 70 yuan!
And the soybeans in Daxia have been closely linked to each other for a long time, so they were naturally affected by price increases. For a while, the price of soybeans in Daxia also skyrocketed like those in foreign countries.
Many countries think that if your grain company does not sell goods, then we will go to the big grain-producing countries to purchase goods!
However, the strange thing is that these large-producing countries have inexplicably declared a state of war and cut off food transportation channels.
But according to the descriptions of local residents, there was no war at all!
As a result, soybean prices have skyrocketed again!
Everyone originally thought that the three-day increase of nearly three times was already the limit and should have reached the top.
At this time, oil king Luo Fei made a "sad" announcement: "Under the influence of multiple factors, the global crude oil supply has further tightened, coupled with the increase in labor costs and transportation costs year after year, the price of crude oil has to rise!"
Crude oil prices have also risen, and they have risen even more outrageously than soybeans!
In order to minimize the impact of rising crude oil prices on economic development, countries have had to announce emergency measures to expand the sales of biofuels and allow local sales to use more E15 gasoline containing ethanol.
Here, to explain, biofuels include bioethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is mainly processed from corn or sugar cane, while biodiesel is mainly processed from palm oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, etc.
The popular saying for this measure is: If you can't afford gasoline, then "burn food."
For a time, every country that could not afford to burn gasoline began to implement a "burning food" policy.
On the one hand, there is a shortage of beans, and on the other hand, grain is burning, which further aggravates the rise in the price of beans!
Five days later, people were horrified to find that the price of soybeans had increased five times!
On the surface, the soaring price of soybeans affects soybean extraction companies in various countries, but in fact, it affects all aspects of people's daily lives.
As the price of soybean oil increases, the price of soybean meal also rises from 2000 yuan per ton to 4000 yuan per ton.Soybean meal is an important feed for pig breeding. Therefore, if the price of soybean meal remains high, the price of pork will inevitably start to skyrocket.
In the past month, in many places in Daxia, the price of pork has even exceeded 20 yuan per pound, which is simply outrageous!
People had to replace pork with other meat products.Obviously, the soaring price of soybeans has affected the daily lives of ordinary people.
The situation in various industries is also quietly changing.
Everything was as expected by Khadgar!
Hyping up soybean prices is just the first shot in Khadgar's food price war!
After getting off to a good start.
Khadgar once again took out the "Sword of Damocles of the Food World" and announced loudly:
"My children, congratulations on your victory!"
"Next, there will be a full-scale food price war!"
"For the Eastern Continent, let me hype all the prices of rice, wheat, corn, etc.!"
"The price will rise, skyrocket, to the point where all the countries in the East will have to bow to us! Kneel down and beg us to open warehouses to sell grain!"
