The El Niño phenomenon "continues to affect agricultural production across the country."

In southern China, the vegetables in the vegetable fields have been dying after heavy rains since the beginning of summer – lettuce and mustard leaves have begun to rot, and other leafy vegetables that have been blown by the heavy rain are lying on the ground.

Vegetable farmers said that in the event of a rainy day like this year, they will lose money for at least a few months.

"I have been selling vegetables for 20 years, and I have never encountered such abnormal weather this year, and the price of vegetables has fluctuated the most over the years, and the prices of vegetables have generally risen, such as garlic, potatoes, tomatoes, etc. have hit high prices. ”

The prices of inconspicuous agricultural products such as garlic, chili peppers, medicinal herbs, and mung beans have risen sharply.

The reduction in the production of these agricultural products is not unique to this year, so why have the prices of these products not been ridiculously high in previous years?

Because the harsh climate is the enemy of the peasants, but it is the carnival feast of others.

"Continue to stock up, it's far from the peak of the price, and we can still hype up the price of garlic for another wave......" Zeng Qing said to his nephew with a dance.

Zeng Rangqing had been a member of the real estate speculation group before, and under the heavy pressure of the state and local governments, he was forced out of the stock market and the property market, and then made waves everywhere in the real economy.

He felt that he was really lucky, in addition to speculating in real estate, he actually encountered an excellent opportunity to speculate on agricultural products, and God should make him rich.

Since the end of last year, he has successively invested nearly 100 million yuan to speculate on garlic, like speculating on stocks, and making a lot of profits as the prices of agricultural products have been pushed up.

But he feels that this is not the end, and that speculating on agricultural products such as garlic is like a game of drumming and passing flowers, and when public opinion pays attention to its prices and inflation, more money will intervene, and he will have more room to make a profit.

His nephew was a little apprehensive: "Uncle, we have already hoarded a lot of goods, and now the profits from the sale are rich enough, and if the hype continues, I am afraid that the government will ......."

Zeng Rangqing waved his hand disapprovingly, and educated his nephew: "Don't worry, these days, support the bold and starve the faint to death." ”

He looked at his nephew's worry that he couldn't hide and smiled: "It's unfounded! Do you think we are here to hype agricultural products with our heads covered?"

His nephew said silently in his heart, isn't it?

Zeng Rangqing didn't care what his nephew thought, he lit a cigarette and continued: "Garlic is not easy to incur government price intervention. If you look at the hyped agricultural products in the market, they are all inconspicuous, and there are no statistics on the output over the years. From a regulatory point of view, commodities such as crude oil, iron ore, and rice are controlled by international speculators, and the government will also intervene in prices. Agricultural products such as garlic, mung beans and star anise are not regulated by the state, and they are not of strategic reserve significance. Moreover, the government has no goods in its hands, and even if it does, it will not have much impact. ”

"The point is that these produce are basically dry and have a certain shelf life, which gives us time to stock up and digest the stock. For example, garlic can be stored in cold storage for a year and a half, and as long as it is not humid in summer, spray insect repellent, and mung beans can be stored for two years...... It's not like green vegetables and turnips, and I'm afraid of rotting in my hands. ”

"Besides, these agricultural products have a rigid demand, even if the price doubles several times, because it is difficult to replace, consumers still have to buy, so it is not difficult to say. ”

Zeng Rangqing let out a big puff of cigarette and felt that he was sure of victory.

He likes to act vigorously, just like when he sees an opportunity to speculate garlic, he decisively intervenes in advance, controls the source of the product in advance, directly signs contracts with local large distributors, and then rents cold storage and trucks......

Now he feels that there is more profit to be made, and he has to find a way to gather funds from inside and outside the bank.

His nephew persuaded him, but he could only tell Zeng Rangqing: "Now, some funds that were originally engaged in real estate and coal mines have also come in. Well, there are international players who come to us to cooperate and plan to stock up on garlic or mung beans, should we accept it?"

Zeng Rangqing hesitated. Generally speaking, most of the domestic speculators have relatively small financial strength, most of which are millions to tens of millions of yuan. But the strength of foreign capital is very strong, they are generally a cold storage and a cold storage acquisition, but basically looking for domestic agents, very hidden.

"We accept cooperation!" said for a long time, Zeng Rangqing gritted his teeth. Even if he becomes a comprador of international speculators, he doesn't care, and if he wants to do a big job, he still lacks funds.

His nephew stopped talking.

Zeng Rangqing patted his nephew on the shoulder and said: "I know your concerns, in this way, we will only accept one or two capitals to jointly operate, anyway, whether it is garlic or mung beans, they are all small and easy to control." ”

This is also a matter of experience: a small plate means that not much money is needed to speculate on these commodities, for example, some varieties of Chinese medicinal materials only need tens of millions of yuan to control the national market; a ton of mung beans sells for 18,000 yuan, and if you want to dump the market, you only need tens of millions to hundreds of millions of yuan.

There is no futures market for small grains, and the circulation channels are very simple, and some small traders are doing it, such as mung beans, which produce up to 500,000 tons in the country.

Zeng Rangqing hopes to gather another wave of travel funds, and at the same time control garlic and mung beans.

Just do it.

Zeng Rangqing is indeed "talented" in hype.

He often hoards a batch first, reaches a certain amount, and after the price rises, he releases the goods at a high price to make a profit, and when the goods are almost released and the price falls, he hoards and raises the price again.

In the process, he also used various methods to create skyrocketing expectations, such as hyping up concepts such as inflation, drought, and the reduction of garlic cultivation, and even played up the legend of "stevedores fried garlic to become millionaires" to attract more money to enter.

For mung beans, while hoarding Juqi, he funded Zhang Wuben, the so-called "health food therapy expert", and hyped up the "mung bean cures all diseases", which really set off a "mung bean health" boom, boosting the price of mung beans skyrocketing.

After the funds became abundant, Zeng Rangqing was even able to "buy and sell short" - even if there was no reliable source of goods at present, he could still organize the supply on the one hand, release the supply information on the other hand, and negotiate with the next dealer at a higher price.

Everything is going in the desired direction, and although the profit per transaction is not high, the overall profit is considerable, and the capital turnover is fast.

Zeng Rangqing held a cigarette in his mouth, as if he had seen the profits rolling into his pocket.

But a sudden phone call from his nephew shattered his complacent: "Uncle, something is wrong! The government has joined hands with Jiagu to enter the market and sell garlic and other agricultural products......

, the cigarette that Qing was holding has fallen!
