Chapter 1194: 1 pound of cabbage, 50 yuan!
"Mr. President..."
Jin Xinyue was angry at the man's rude behavior.
He said sarcastically.
"Minister Jin, do you think that just because I have the same last name as you, I am also the president? You can come and go in and out of the president's office at will without saying hello!?"
The man named by Kim Shin-wol is Kim Il-hoon, the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of South Korea.
Jin Rixun was yelled at so hard that he didn't even dare to breathe.
He did not try to curry favor with Jin Xinyue, who was a puppet at the time.
I thought everything would be fine if I could have a good relationship with the chaebol.
Unexpectedly, the world-famous Korean chaebol fell.
Jin Xinyue, who was once looked down upon by him, has become so powerful.
Kim Il-hoon regrets his decision.
He was extremely terrified and bowed deeply to Jin Xinyue.
"I'm sorry, Mr. President, but the situation is urgent, I...I have to report it quickly."
Upon hearing this, Jin Xinyue immediately stood up and asked.
"What's wrong? Is the United States calling?"
Jin Rixun was stunned and shook his head.
"no..."
Jin Xinyue continued to ask.
"Daqin International is saying it wants to withdraw its investment?"
Jin Rixun still shook his head and said.
"no..."
"Your mom died?"
"what?"
Before Jin Rixun could react.
Jin Xinyue smashed a teacup towards his head.
"Shit... this is not that, what big deal can happen to someone like you who is in charge of agriculture? Strange phenomena in the sky? The end of the world?"
Kim Il-hoon's right leg was hit by the teacup and he almost lost his balance.
But he gritted his teeth and didn't cry out in pain.
"Mr. President... the domestic cabbage reserves have run out and can't hold out for two days..."
After hearing this, Jin Xinyue became even angrier.
"Ah, shit... You're yelling at me about something as trivial as the low cabbage reserves?"
"But... Mr. President, we in Korea have always loved kimchi. People can go without meat all year round, but they cannot go without kimchi... If the kimchi supply in the country stagnates, the consequences will be disastrous..."
"Ah, you have a pig brain. If you know the consequences are serious, why don't you hurry up and buy the goods?! Why are you wasting your time in front of me? How come the chaebols collapsed? Did all the vegetable farmers in the country die with them?! Will they stop growing cabbages?"
Kim Il-hoon said with embarrassment, "Mr. President, the cabbage grown by domestic vegetable farmers can only meet 4% of domestic demand... The remaining 96% needs to be imported..."
As a major consumer of cabbage in the world, South Korea really needs to rely on imports to meet domestic demand.
Jin Xinyue knew this.
But he vaguely remembered that the proportion of imports should not be as exaggerated as 96%.
However, Jin Xinyue doesn't care much about these things now.
No matter how strong the domestic demand is, it is just a cabbage.
Jin Xinyue waved her hand and said.
"Since there is demand in the country, we must try our best to meet it. We can't let them cause trouble now, we must appease them. Food like cabbage must not be lacking!"
Kim Il-hoon said in embarrassment, "Mr. President, the price of cabbage has gone up..."
Jin Xinyue said impatiently, "If the price goes up, it goes up. We import it and sell it at the increased price."
As he spoke, he waved his hand proudly.
"Now the resources of the top ten chaebols in South Korea are all in my hands. I can completely control the price after importing! It's just cabbage. Even if the price is doubled, how expensive can it be?"
When Jin Rixun heard this, his face turned green.
He lowered his head and dared not speak.
Jin Xinyue said unhappily, "Why, don't you understand what I said?"
Jin Rixun gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. President, the price of cabbage from the supplier...has increased...a bit too much..."
"Shit, didn't you hear what I said? You have to appease people! Even if the price is doubled, you have to buy it!"
"Mr. President, you said doubling it... that's too little..."
Jin Xinyue asked with a puzzled look on her face, "What? Even less than half? How much does the other party want?"
Kim Il-hoon stretched out a hand timidly and spread out his five fingers.
Jin Xinyue was shocked. "What? Five times? The price of cabbage increased five times??!!!"
Jin Rixun swallowed his saliva and said in horror, "It's fifty times..."
Jin Xinyue almost lost her balance.
"Fifty times?! Kim Il-hoon, are you kidding me?!"
Jin Rixun had a sad face and said, "Mr. President, even if you give me a hundred guts, I would not dare to play such a joke with you. Last year, the price of the cabbage we imported was 1 yuan per catty. This year, just this afternoon. The other party sent the latest quotation sheet, and the price of cabbage per catty was raised to 50 yuan... I personally called China to confirm that they did not send the wrong price... It has indeed increased so much..."
"Shit!!!" Jin Xinyue yelled, "Why, how dare they raise the price so much!!!"
"The supplier said that the weather in China is bad this year and the cabbage production has decreased. Cabbage is in short supply in China, so...that's why the price has increased..."
Jin Xinyue's head is so big...
Although he doesn't cook, as a Korean, he is very sensitive to the price of cabbage.
Before that, the price of cabbage was 1 yuan per catty, and a standard cabbage weighed three catties.
The price of a cabbage imported from China is 3 Chinese dollars, which is 580 Korean dollars.
This cabbage is sold in Korea for 10 Chinese Yuan, which is about 2000 Korean Yuan.
But now, the price in China has risen to 50 yuan per catty.
A standard cabbage weighing three pounds costs 150 Chinese yuan, or 29000 Korean yuan, when imported from China.
This means that if this cabbage is sold in Korea, it will cost at least 87000 Korean dollars.
The price of a cabbage that originally cost 2000 Korean dollars per head will soon become 87000 Korean dollars per head.
A 43-fold increase...isn't it too exaggerated...
In this way, even if we import and sell them, we will still be criticized by the people.
"Can't you discuss with the other party and increase the gender by so much at once?"
Jin Rixun said helplessly, "The other party bit the price very hard and left no room for negotiation..."
Jin Xinyue gritted her teeth, feeling resentful.
When it comes to cabbage, South Korea is completely in a seller's market.
The only country in the world that can afford to supply the cabbage needs of the Korean country is China.
If the Chinese suppliers don’t sell it, South Korea can’t buy any other cabbage.
Jin Xinyue pondered for a moment, and a vague plan came to her mind.
But he didn't dare to implement this plan immediately...
Because in this kind of situation, one move can affect the entire body.
Jin Xinyue bit her thumb nail and frowned as she thought.
He waved his hand, indicating that Jin Rixun could leave first.
But after waving twice, Kim Il-hoon did not move at all.
"Didn't you see I asked you to leave first?" Jin Xinyue said angrily
Kim Il-hoon said aggrievedly, "Your Excellency the President, I have something else to report..."
