Chapter 143: The 2004 Soybean Crisis

Interestingly, since the conversation that day, Fu Lixing didn't ask Bian Xuedao if his daughter had looked for him, and he didn't ask how the two talked, he seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter, and the whole person devoted himself to the second phase of the sports hall project.

During this period, Fu Caining sent an email to Bian Xuedao, the content of which was a photo of Fu Caining's local imitation of the flag in Japan according to the flag of the Shangdong Club, telling him that this was a prop to be put on camera.

Three days later, Fu Caining notified Bian Xuedao by phone: The matter is done, and the transaction is 300,000 yuan.

Let Bian Xuedao transfer the money to the designated account.

When the news came back, Bian Xuedao was ecstatic.

Fu Caining also told Bian Xuedao: "The group photo has been sent to your email, negotiate to cut 50,000 out of 100,000, and send it to my account as soon as possible." ”

Not long after Fu Caining hung up the phone, Fu Lixing's phone arrived.

The old man on the phone seemed to be very depressed, with a hint of sadness and anger: "Bian Xuedao, tell me how much money Cai Ning made from you?"

Bian Xuedao said: "100,000." ”

The old man's voice immediately rose an octave: "100,000 yuan, I usually ask you to pay for the project and make the project a little more fine, but you squeak and refuse to take it, why are you so generous all of a sudden?"

Bian Xuedaoxin said, she is your girl, why are you angry with me?

The old man really has to get angry with Bian Xuedao.

In order to let Fu Caining, who was playing wild outside, go home, the old man has tried his best to calculate Fu Caining's living expenses in Australia for most of the year, trying to make her just enough to spend, but she can't play tricks.

As a result, Fu Caining didn't know how many odd jobs she did, but she still saved enough money to go to Japan to see cherry blossoms.

Hearing the letter, he almost made the old man angry to death.

Look at the cherry blossoms?OK, you see!

Japan's consumer master is knowledgeable, and Fu Caining's ability to spend money is even clearer. He knew that Fu Caining's life in Japan would become more and more difficult, so he accepted Bian Xuedao's request.

Lao Fu's purpose was not to let Fu Caining make money here in Bian Xuedao, but to tell Fu Caining that he had helped her find a rich man in China, and Lao Fu hoped to use Bian Xuedao, a boy who looked very interesting, to lure Fu Caining back to China.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I lost my wife and broke my soldiers.

Bian Xuedao, who usually looks like a monkey, let his daughter get 100,000 alive.

100,000 yuan! With this money, don't even think about this girl going home in the short term.

Sure enough, just now Fu Caining called Fu Lixing, saying that she went to Rome to play and would not come back from the holidays.

Bian Xuedao didn't know that there were so many twists and turns, and he mentioned to Fu Lixing: "Old man, can you reduce the design fee this time?"

Fu Lixing listened, frowned, Sven Jin was gone, and shouted into the phone: "The dead girl is busy working for a few days, you give her 100,000, I don't work on the construction site day and night, how much do you say you should give me?"

Bian Xuedao said: "Old man, don't be emotional, we have to come according to the contract." ”

"Fart Contract ......"

didn't wait for Fu Lixing to finish speaking, Bian Xuedao pinched the phone.

He knew that if he didn't hang up the phone, maybe the old man would scold his mother over the phone.

After getting the group photo of Liu Xiang sent by Fu Caining, Bian Xuedao's publicity preparations for the Shangdong Club are basically over, and the rest depends on the specific operation and execution.

Taking advantage of the money in his hand, he learned to return Yu Jin's 150,000.

He knew that he now had a group of people under his hands, and others had no money to save from themselves, but he couldn't save it there.

It's weekend again.

Thinking that he hadn't met Wen Congqian for a while, he cleaned up and went to the English salon.

Every time I come to the English salon, I will see new faces, which confirms the vitality of the salon from one side.

Wen Congqian also came, but only sat down and said a few words to Bian Xuedao before he was called away by a phone call.

Bian Xuedao only came once in a long time, and he didn't want to leave like that, so after listening to it for a while, he joined a group to discuss movies, and bragged to a bunch of people in clumsy English.

When Bian Xuedao entered the door, he saw Liao Lian talking on the phone in the corner, he didn't want to provoke this girl, so he pretended not to see it.

It is very rare, until the end of the salon, Liao Lian did not come to find Bian Xuedao.

Not far from the entrance of the salon, Bian Xuedao saw Liao Lian and an old acquaintance who he hadn't seen for a long time, Zuo Heng.

Zuo Heng sat in the car, rolled down the window, and didn't know what to say to Liao Li.

Liao Lian didn't look at him, looked at the road, and waited for the empty taxi passing by.

Zuo Heng seemed to be more and more energetic, opened the door and got out of the car, standing next to Liao Li, talking with a smile, looking at the situation, the two seemed to be very familiar, at least more familiar than the average alumni relationship.

These two people, both of whom they didn't want to deal with, bypassed far away, went to a nearby KFC, bought four boxes of Portuguese egg tarts for Shan Rao, and stopped a taxi at the corner intersection and told the driver to go to Eastern University.

The car didn't drive far, and Bian Xuedao saw that Liao Lian had changed to this road to take a taxi.

The taxi driver wanted to fight with the customer, and when he saw Liao Lian waving in front, he didn't ask the side who was sitting in the car to learn the way, and stopped directly beside Liao Lian.

Liao Lian wanted to ask the driver if it was going well, but when she saw Bian Xuedao sitting in the back seat, she didn't ask, and opened the door directly to get into the car.

Zuo Heng's Lai Pi Jin came up, slammed the car door and said, "You didn't even ask where people are going, why did you get in the car? Want to go back to school? I'll drive you!"

Liao Lian suddenly broke out: "I'll send you two words after the most reluctance, you will die!"

Zuo Heng smiled and said, "You are three words!"

Liao Lian broke Zuo Heng's arm hard, sat in the car and said, "I'll buy two and get one free!" ”

The driver looked at Liao Li, who had an outstanding temperament, and foul language burst out one after another in his mouth, and he was already stunned.

Bian Xuedao said to the driver: "Let's drive, I know this person." ”

At this time, Zuo Heng noticed Bian Xuedao who was sitting in the back.

He subconsciously took a step back, let go of the hand holding the car door, and watched Liao Lian close the car door and the taxi came out of sight.

Back in the car, Zuo Heng was so depressed that he smashed the steering wheel a few times.

He hated himself for being afraid when he saw the surname Bian, and he hated Liao Lian even more for how he made a casual move and got into the same car as the surname Bian.

Min Chuanzheng, who had been sitting in the passenger seat of Zuo Heng's car, saw that Zuo Heng was so out of control, put down the game console in his hand, and asked him with a smile: "You have been fighting with Liao Lian since childhood, why are you so angry today?"

Zuo Heng took a few breaths and said, "I saw the person who beat me last time." ”

Min Chuanzheng asked, "Which one in your school?"

Zuo Heng nodded.

Min Chuanzheng asked, "You didn't look for him after that?"

Zuo Heng said a little discouraged: "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I am stunned when I see him." ”

Min Chuanzheng smiled: "Is this still Zuo Heng, the little overlord of the compound? I'll go to your school for a few days, and you will lead me to meet this person." ”

The traffic is weaving.

After getting in the car, Liao Lian didn't say a word to Bian Xuedao, just looked at the scenery outside the car.

After a while, Liao Lian smelled the fragrance of the egg tart in Bian Xuedao's hand, turned around and stretched out his hand to Bian Xuedao in the back seat, and said confidently: "I'm hungry, give me a box." ”

Bian Xuedao didn't give Liao Liao an egg tart, but took her to a restaurant on the street.

Sitting by the window, Liao Li threw his wallet to Bian Xuedao and told him: "I don't have any money, I have to ask you." ”

Bian Xuedao was not polite, opened the wallet and looked, but there was only one 50 and three 1 yuan inside.

Bian Xuedao said: "Eat simply, it's enough." ”

Liao said: "That's my living expenses for two weeks. ”

Bian Xuedao gestured to get up and said, "Then let's go." ”

Liao Lian sat there and didn't move, and said, "If you give me a box of egg tarts, I'll leave." ”

Bian Xuedao said: "I didn't buy it for you." ”

Liao Lian ignored Bian Xuedao and raised his head to greet: "Waiter, menu!"

The rule of this restaurant is to pay first, and then serve the food.

The waiter looked at the two, Bian Xuedao looked at Liao Li, and Liao Lidao looked out the window.

There's no way, it's still the money you pay while learning the way.

Seeing that Liao Lian had almost eaten, Bian Xuedao asked her: "Miss Liao, you are a rich woman, and half of the school knows the Tao, can you respect the IQ of the person who invited you to dinner?"

Hearing Bian Xuedao say this, Liao Lian drank the juice in the cup in one gulp and said: "My father's company has stopped production due to an accident and may go bankrupt, and my good life is gone." ”

The topic was very sad, but there was not much sadness on Liao Li's face, so Bian Xuedao didn't believe it at all.

So while learning the Tao and asking again, Liao Lian still said this.

Bian Xuedao asked: "What kind of business do you run at home?"

Liao said: "Soybean crushing enterprises. ”

Soybean?

Squeeze?

It's 2004......

Bian Xuedao believed Liao Li's words a little.

Because he remembered the famous "2004 soybean crisis." ”

Bac Giang Province, where Songjiang City is located, is the main soybean producing area in China. Around 2010, the local media gave several in-depth interpretations of the "soybean crisis" and the "food war", and Songjiang Daily also invested manpower and space to discuss this topic.

As a newspaper reviewer, Bian Xuedao has read all the reports word for word.

In August 2003, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) made a major adjustment to the monthly soybean supply and demand report, citing weather effects, to adjust soybean stocks to a more than 20-year low. Soybean prices on the Chicago Board of Trade have nearly doubled, rising from a low of about 540 cents in August 2003 to about 1,060 cents in early April 2004.

This increase is equivalent to a price increase in China from 2,300 yuan to 4,400 yuan per tonne.

Under the domination of panic, China's crushing companies have stepped up their procurement efforts. At the beginning of 2004, Chinese companies "snapped up" more than 8 million tons of soybeans in the United States, equivalent to an average price of 4,300 yuan per tonne.

But then, in April 2004, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) raised production figures, and international funds followed suitably and shorted backhanded, and soybean prices suddenly plummeted, falling by nearly 50%.

As a result, the huge price gap has pushed many Chinese crushing companies into a desperate situation, and Chinese oil mills have lost 500 to 600 yuan per ton of imported soybeans.

The Americans used futures to play a hard game against Chinese companies.
