Chapter 1195: 1 kilogram of rice sold for 1!
Jin Xinyue was furious. "Shit, can you please make your point clear all at once?"
Jin Rixun's legs were shaking because of the yelling.
He was trembling all over and spoke incoherently.
"Big...big...rice...suppliers say the price will also go up..."
Jin Xinyue was dumbfounded. "What? Rice prices are going to go up too???"
Although Jin Xinyue was shocked by the price increase of rice, she was soon relieved.
"Fortunately, our country has a high self-sufficiency rate in rice, so we need to import less. We can package the more expensive rice well and sell it to young people and middle-class families who pursue good-looking packaging."
Kim Il-hoon's mouth twitched slightly, and he spoke with difficulty, "Mr. President, our country's current rice self-sufficiency rate is less than 5%... That is to say, 95% of our rice needs to be imported..."
When Jin Xinyue heard this, her eyes widened instantly!
He almost fainted from anger and he cursed loudly.
"How is this possible! Are all the rice farmers in our country extinct? Is no one growing rice?! Why is there such a huge demand for rice imports?!!!"
Kim Il-hoon's expression flickered and he began to stammer.
"Mr. President, domestic rice production has dropped sharply since last year..."
“Since last year? There was no natural disaster last year, why did the production drop so much!!!”
Jin Xinyue let out a long breath.
He didn't have time to delve into the reasons, but continued to ask, "How much are they going to increase the price of rice?"
"The Chinese side said that the price of rice per ton will increase to 50000 Chinese yuan..."
Jin Xinyue didn't realize how stern he was when he heard this.
He knows the price of cabbage.
But he still didn't quite understand the price of rice.
So he immediately turned on his computer and checked the international rice prices.
After a moment, Jin Xinyue started cursing
"Shit!!! 50000 Chinese Yuan??? A ton of rice? Is this rice? This must be golden beans!!!"
The reason why Jin Xinyue was so defensive.
That's because he searched the international rice price on the Internet and saw the price was US$500 per ton.
500 US dollars converted into Chinese Yuan is about 3500 Chinese Yuan.
The food that costs 3500 Chinese Yuan internationally, the Chinese supplier dared to ask for 50000 Chinese Yuan!!!
"50000 Chinese Yuan per ton of rice, which means 25 Chinese Yuan per kilogram, or 4800 Korean Yuan!!! Who are you importing this expensive rice for? For the chaebols? The chaebols are all going to die!!!"
Jin Xinyue was extremely angry at this time.
He could still accept the price of cabbage increasing dozens of times.
After all, one or two kimchi leaves are enough for everyone to eat with a meal.
But for this rice, each person needs at least half a pound a day.
Who can afford such a high price?
Kim Il-hoon said meaningfully, "Mr. President, the price of rice sold in our domestic supermarkets has already exceeded 10000 Korean won per pound..."
"What??? The current price of rice in China is 10000 Korean currency per pound???"
"If we don't import, the price in China will probably rise to 100000 Korean currency."
Jin Xinyue really wanted to ask why this happened.
But he still chose to solve the problem first.
"Shit! Are you people from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Animal Husbandry and Food eating shit? China is the only country in the world that has rice? Can't you guys buy from other countries???!!!"
Kim Il-hoon opened his mouth slightly, obviously a little fed up with this stupid president.
He asked in return, "Mr. President, is there any other country in the world that we can buy?"
Jin Xinyue angrily said, "Tianzhu! Tianzhu is a major rice-producing country, why can't we buy from them?!"
Kim Il-hoon reminded him, "Mr. President, India was affected by floods two years ago, and half of its grain reserves were contaminated by manure. Later, they sold the rice contaminated by manure to our country. As a result, more than a thousand people in our country were poisoned by E. coli... You also went to the hospital to comfort the poisoned people. You didn't forget it, did you?"
After Jin Rixun's reminder, Jin Xinyue woke up as if from a dream.
He recalled that it was true.
After this battle.
The people of South Korea are dying when they hear about Indian rice.
He also said that even if he starved to death, he would never eat rice from India...
Jin Xinyue frowned slightly, and he instinctively wanted to name the second major grain-producing country, Wu Country.
But on second thought, the country is not peaceful now.
Half of the country's arable land has been turned into scorched earth, and the remaining half is self-sufficient.
Jin Xinyue continued to think for a few seconds and muttered.
"That country..."
Jin Rixun said angrily and amusedly.
"Mr. President, do you think it's possible for them to sell us food?"
Kim Shin-wol was choked by Kim Il-hoon's words.
Indeed, Saudi Arabia will never sell food to the allies of its enemies.
"What about Vietnam and Siam..."
"Their rice has already been fully booked by Chinese suppliers, so there is no surplus for us..."
Jin Xinyue’s fists were about to burst.
But he was helpless...
Food is the most basic food for a country.
If there is a food shortage, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Buy...sign a document with them. Make them promise that food prices will not rise again in the future..."
Kim Il-hoon looked embarrassed. "Mr. President, our Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock and Food has discussed the signing of a contract with China... but the result..."
"what's the result?"
"As a result, they said that even international futures companies cannot guarantee something, so how can they guarantee it..."
Upon hearing this, Jin Xinyue pounded the table frantically.
He cursed loudly, "Shit...Shit...Shit..."
After Jin Xinyue's scolding, Jin Rixun held back the words he was about to say.
In China, prices of everything except rice and cabbage will increase.
Agricultural products such as chili flour, etc. will all increase in price.
Moreover, the price increases are not small.
After Jin Xinyue's rage, she calmed down for a moment and said:
"Import some first for emergency use. Then send people to China to find other suppliers. Becoming a supplier to our country must be the dream of all manufacturers. By then, someone will definitely cut prices crazily to win our orders..."
Upon hearing this, Jin Rixun complained in his heart.
"You bastard, what can your little brain think of? Can't we think of it?"
"Mr. President, I'm afraid we don't have a choice..."
Jin Xinyue was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"All the large-scale manufacturers that supply us with rice and cabbage are owned by the same company..."
Jin Xinyue was horrified. "Could it be Daqin International?"
Jin Rixun shook his head and said, "That's not the case. These cabbage factories and rice factories are all affiliated with a company called Shen Group..."
"West..."
Just as Jin Xinyue was gritting her teeth.
Another man hurried into the door of the President's office.
Before Jin Xinyue could scold him, the other party spoke first.
"Mr. President, something terrible has happened..."
