Chapter 945 The Second Outcome: Whoever Has Food Wins!
In Fuso Prefecture, outside Dongdu Port, dozens of ships of various colors were anchored more than ten nautical miles away from the coast.
Some of these ships were filled with food, some were filled with various reconstruction supplies, and some were filled with various other urgently needed supplies.
But because the tonnage is too large, it cannot enter the port.
Half of the ships here come from the food giant Jiabang.
What does it mean to wake up early and rush to a late market? That's it.
The ones who were the first to arrive not only lost their first-mover advantage, but also had to waste precious transportation capacity and resources on the coast?
This is how to do?
Brolin's hair has turned half gray in the past two days.
He watched Almighty Manor's truck going up and down in that small 2,000-ton freighter every day.
After going up, I came back down and brought back countless amounts of food.
Even if you were an alien spaceship, a Star Destroyer, you wouldn't be able to hold so many!
What's more terrifying is that it's not all that. The most terrifying thing is that often overnight, mountains of food are piled up in temporary warehouses on the coast.
Most of these grains are delivered directly to Fusang Prefecture.
In the warehouses temporarily rented by grain merchants in the state, grains are being shipped out in a steady stream as if they are bottomless.
After all, Brolin is an excellent grain merchant. Although he did not make statistics, he felt that Almighty Manor transported at least 10 million tons of grain during this period!
10 million tons, what is that concept? This is the amount of grain that the state imports from the Bear State in a year; the annual grain output of a northwest arid province in the state is only this...
Even in the international market, it is still a big order that can make people grab heads. Even if this batch of grain is all wheat and rice, there are no crops with higher added value. Even if it is calculated at the price before the price of grain soared, It is also 2.4 billion knives, which is the price of 16.4 billion state currency.
And how much will it cost if these grains are transported to Fusang Prefecture, delivered to Fusang Prefecture, or sold to Fusang people?
According to his estimate, when the temporary quota system was implemented for disaster relief, Fuso Prefecture would consume 200,000 tons of grain a day. Once this grain entered Fuso Prefecture, Fuso Prefecture's grain reserves would exceed one month.
For Fuso Prefecture, the most critical moment has passed, at least people will not starve to death. The next step is to negotiate carefully, bargain carefully, and then decide where to buy food from.
Next, food prices in Fuso Prefecture will continue to be very high, and international food prices will soar.
But the real profiteering period has passed.
The prime time period when rare goods are available and food prices are soaring has been missed...
But Brolin couldn't figure out how so much food was transported into Fuso Prefecture, and where did so much food come from.
Tens of millions of tons of grain reserves are definitely not something that just any grain company can come up with.
Did Almighty Manor have so many food reserves before?
There can't be so much food here, it comes out of the ground!
No, food comes out of the ground, but... it can't come out of thin air!
Another night passed and Brolin came to the port as a habit. He suddenly discovered that the small ship parked on the port was missing.
No more food appeared in the temporary warehouse set up at the port.
"Eh...wait..." Brolin suddenly became ecstatic, "Almighty Manor is out of food!"
In the first game, whoever can transport the food to Fuso Prefecture first will win!
In this victory or defeat, Jiabang could be said to have suffered a disastrous defeat. Now their food is still waiting outside the port to enter the port.
But this is a protracted battle, and it does not mean that victory is certain if you win the first game.
The grain price model in Fuso Prefecture is like a rapidly declining curve.
Almighty Manor transported one-tenth of Fuso Prefecture's annual grain consumption, occupying the highest price segment, and made a lot of quick money.
But after all, 10% is only a very small part. The remaining 90% can still win based on quantity and is still the big one!
If Almighty Manor runs out of food, it’s time for Jiabang to perform!
The wheat in the northern hemisphere is about to be harvested. Jiabang has signed purchase contracts with producing areas around the world, and has acquisition, processing, and transportation stations. In the next month, Jiabang can transport all the world's grain to Fuso!
Even if the Almighty Manor purchases some grain from retail households, how much will it receive?
The second victory is here!
Whoever has food wins!
Who in the world has more food than our country?
…
In Xucheng, Zhuang Buyuan walked out of Director Chen's office with a smile.
Director Chen and another middle-aged man sent him off very enthusiastically.
This middle-aged man, surnamed Wang, is the boss of a state-owned grain company in the state.
"Thank you, Director Chen, and thank you, Mr. Wang." Zhuang Buyuan shook hands with Director Chen and Mr. Wang.
"Where, where!" Mr. Wang's eyes were almost invisible when he smiled, and his mouth was grinning so much that you could see his back molars. "I should be the one to thank you, Mr. Zhuang, for helping me! This time, I will be with Mr. Zhuang at the International It’s so exciting to charge into the battle and beat the grain giants to the ground. It’s so exciting!”
When he talked about being happy, Mr. Wang's whole body was trembling, and he was so happy that the hairs on his body stood up: "This time, not only did we deal with the stored grains, clear the inventory to accommodate this year's new grains, but we also made billions! If in the future, If there is such a thing, you must remember to take me with you, you must take me with you!”
That's right, except for a small part of the grain Zhuang Buyuan transported to Fusang Prefecture, which he had purchased and stored before, most of the rest came from the grain reserves in the state!
Grain storage also requires space and cost. It is the harvest season of the year, and of course the old grain must be cleared out before new grain is stored.
Although the scale of grain enterprises in the state has increased, most of them rely on the ultra-large-scale market in the state. Their international influence is not large, there are not enough channels, and they do not have strong control over the circulation and price of international grain prices. .
Now is when international food prices are soaring. Throwing so much food out will not only suppress food prices, but also make international food giants such as Jiabang cheaper.
At this time, Zhuang Buyuan came to the door and said that he would cooperate with them to conquer the Fusang market. At first, Mr. Wang was doubtful, but when he heard that Zhuang Buyuan was the one who predicted the soaring international food prices, he even He was the boss of Almighty Manor, so he gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble with Zhuang Buyuan.
Why don't you sell it?
Zhuang Buyuan purchased millions of tons of grain reserves at market prices, and at the same time entered Fuso Prefecture with the millions of tons of grain they provided. After deducting Zhuang Buyuan's handling fees and channel fees, Mr. Wang did the math and found out, oh, he made billions more than selling and clearing the stock directly!
I almost jumped for joy.
In this transaction, they don't have to worry about transportation or sales. They only need to deliver the grain to the village. This is pure profit!
"It's a pity that I can't continue playing with Mr. Zhuang..." Mr. Wang held Zhuang Buyuan's hand and kept regretting, "Our most important task next is to collect and store grains and stabilize the price of grain in the state. Affected by the international influence, I can no longer go to the international arena to influence the world. Mr. Zhuang, there is still a lot of potential for the Fuso market in the future! Unfortunately, we have food, but we can no longer sell it, which gives these greedy guys a bargain. Alas, this is the world. , whoever has the food has the final say..."
"That's not necessarily true..." Zhuang Buyuan smiled slightly.
Who said I ran out of food?
