Chapter 584: Isn't this a hooligan
Generally speaking, there is only so much land in the world for things like grain, and the quantity of grain is constant, and even if there are fluctuations from year to year, the difference in quantity will definitely not be very large.
China's imports of soybeans mainly come from the United States, of course, it is not irreplaceable, but even if it is replaced, the reason why the United States is not in a hurry before is because the market is fixed and everyone needs it, because the world's industrialization needs so much oil.
For example, if the world's soybean trading volume is about 300 million tons a year, China will import almost one-third of it. And the annual export volume of the United States is more than China's soybean imports, and now let's assume that amount is comparable.
So, if you don't import from the United States, you can only choose Brazil or Argentina, or other agricultural countries, such as Australia and New Zealand.
You can choose other countries to import, but you choose to import from these countries, and the total amount of soybean exports from these countries cannot change, after all, the amount of land is there, and the amount of soybeans that can be grown every year is that amount. So, every year the world trades a constant volume of soybeans, and you import from this other country.
Then the part of the export of other countries to other places will naturally be occupied, and the United States can also choose to occupy this part of the market. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a question of the replacement of a buyer and seller, and the United States does not care.
However, after an investigation, the intelligence department of the US Department of Commerce discovered that this is not the case, and it is true that China has indeed bought soybeans, but other major exporting countries have not reduced their share of exports to other countries?
You know, there are contracts for soybean exports from other countries, and it is impossible to change the contract for no reason, which means that it is impossible for other countries to choose American soybeans, so who will sell American soybeans to?
No one buys it! Because the market is so big! As a result, China doesn't know where it got soybeans, but this market, which can hold a total of 300 million tons, and the world's soybean production is 300 million tons every year, and now 400 million tons have suddenly appeared, and the United States has been directly squeezed out of the country.
What's so good about it?
Just the increase in tariffs, which has led to a drop in the price of soybeans for American farmers, and so on, has made these American farmers go crazy and now directly let their soybeans rot at home? Damn, it's no wonder that this farmer doesn't riot!
The U.S. Department of Commerce immediately went a little crazy, and the news was naturally passed on to the negotiating officials as soon as possible, and to be honest, they had also given an ultimatum to the China Grain Group before, saying that if you didn't buy it, you wouldn't be able to buy it if you wanted to buy it in the future, but people didn't pay attention to it at all.
And now...... There's something wrong with that.
Aren't you playing hooligan? Everyone said okay, although we play a temper with each other and collect tariffs from each other, isn't this for the sake of negotiation? Everyone said that they would be harmonious and make money, and they would negotiate with each other, so why didn't you play your cards according to common sense? This directly turned the table?
Is this still possible?
Of course, Qin Mubai didn't know these things, but although he didn't know the specific things, he could guess it, because the reason why he chose soybeans was not for this? Now the United States is short of China's goods, but China can not do without your goods.
Of course, the negotiations between countries are multifaceted, and even if they have the upper hand, the final negotiation may be in a state of loss, but this kind of loss will inevitably be exchanged for some political goals in other places.
After all, the relationship between countries is not only about commerce and trade, but also about using commerce and trade to achieve some political goals, such as the strait issue and so on. The details of the negotiations on these aspects cannot be determined, and this is a game between the two countries.
However, Qin Mubai had confidence in the rogue rabbit, and he was now studying this trading system while waiting for the people who came to negotiate as Wei Ming said.
Qin Mubai has studied a lot of details, for example, this trading system has been updated again, or he didn't find it before.
Before, he had probably seen two large transactions, selling and buying, but now Qin Mubai had found a separate option for my transaction. In this my transaction, it is not only the transaction that Qin Mubai has already traded, completed, or is executing.
Not only these, but in this, there is also a list of my trading partners, and in this list of my trading partners, Qin Mubai found that this is all the guests he has received.
However, not everyone of these guests has trading authority, such as that Wise Sect, plus a Qin Zhaohuang Fusu that Qin Mubai has never received, but he has trading authority.
The name of Qin Zhaohuang does not exist in history, only Qin II, but this Qin Zhaohuang Qin Mubai thinks that it should be the Great Qin that Lao Qin left, although Lao Qin left, but it obviously solved the follow-up problems. With Lao Qin's iron and blood, although Zhao Gao has won Lao Qin's trust, knowing what Zhao Gao did later, Lao Qin will definitely not be soft-hearted.
Subsequently, the only ones who opened the trading authority were Li Er, Yang Er, Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bang, Liu Bei, Qianlong and Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng.
And Qin Shi Huang, that is, Lao Qin, also has trading permissions, but this trading authority is not the same as other people's, and the world where Lao Qin is located must be the world that Qin Mubai can go to.
Although others are also on this list, their trading permissions are not opened, and they are all in a gray state.
And after choosing these people, Qin Mubai found that with these people, they can buy and sell, but Qin Mubai can choose to buy and sell with everyone, but these people seem to be able to only buy and sell with Qin Mubai, and it is impossible for them to buy and sell with each other. Like Qin Mubai, he can buy things from other places that he doesn't know at all, and it is even more impossible to sell things.
It's a bit interesting, Qin Mubai flipped through this trading page, and his side has the absolute initiative, that is to say, he can choose to sell or buy some things on his side, and the opposite side can choose to buy or not to buy, sell or not to sell. But they can't take the initiative to sell, that is to say, if Qin Mubai doesn't want to buy, they can't sell if they want to.
Just when Qin Mubai was wondering if he was going to make a deal with the old rascal Liu Bang, or to make a deal with Liu Bei, or to complete the previous deal with the Wise Sect. However, just when Qin Mubai was thinking about who to trade with, suddenly in this transaction list, another person who had opened the trading authority appeared.
When he saw this person, Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, because the latest person to open trading permissions was Wang Mang.
I'll go, this one is a bit against the sky. Qin Mubai didn't expect Wang Mang to have the opportunity to open this, but think about it, Wang Mang's family has also been an emperor anyway, although the time is very short.
Moreover, some of Wang Mang's systems are actually very forward-looking, of course, Wang Mang himself also has a lot of shortcomings, which is also one of the reasons for his failure, for example, he did not choose some more capable people to establish a more efficient leadership collective.
However, this Wang Mang is not the Wang Mang in history, and even the Wang Mang in history is called by modern people as a person who may have crossed over, so what will become of Wang Mang who has been in the modern circle? And Wang Mang and they seem to have bought books at that time, right?
What books did Wang Mang buy Qin Mubai really didn't know at the time, he knew that He Shen seemed to buy some books such as the war of currency, and he really didn't know what Wang Mang bought.
Qin Mubai didn't think about his innocence here, so Wang Mang directly sent a message to Qin Mubai, "Mr. Qin, I don't know if I can buy some food from Mr. Qin." ”
"Of course this is no problem, but what are you going to take to pay the bill?" Qin Mubai asked with some doubts, because of this large transaction, it seems that only money can be exchanged, but Wang Mang must have no money, so he must have something to sell.
"Wood!" Wang Mang replied with two words very directly.
"Oh, that is, you are going to sell wood?" Qin Mubai immediately suddenly said, don't you say, this is really the best choice, during the Han Dynasty, wood resources were naturally very rich! But it was also more difficult to cut wood during that period.
"Yes, maybe you can sell some of the more expensive wood. Wang Mang immediately nodded and said.
Valuable wood, such as ebony, red sandalwood, huanghuali these are naturally okay, don't say it, Wang Mang's idea is quite smart, at least during the Han Dynasty, if you want to talk about natural resources, there are quite a lot, but what can be traded with Qin Mubai, limited by science and technology at that time, there are really not many natural resources that can be made.
"Yes. Qin Mubai thought about it and agreed, he also found the benefits of trading with those who had received him, what to buy and sell can be discussed, and secondly, the price was set by Qin Mubai!
He originally wanted to find Liu Bang or Liu Bei to make a transaction, but he didn't expect that this first transaction was with Wang Mang. "Mr. Qin, I don't have the relevant currency in my hand, so I can only initiate a purchase first, and then I choose to sell here, and when I have the money, I can buy it from you. Wang Mang quickly replied with another message.
"Okay, I see, in this case, I'll check the relevant timber market. Qin Mubai nodded immediately, this price must be lowered, but Qin Mubai will not cheat him too much.
ps: Thanks to the alliance leader of the river crab, I owe it to me on the road today, go back and make up for it!!
