"What are you kidding me? Poly Technology assisted COFCO in importing 6 million tons of soybeans from Argentina? Where did they get so many soybeans? Didn't you say that the market there has been monopolized by us? ”

In ADM's office, Conant frowned and yelled at Walter across from him.

“…… They are using official reserves, and we have no way to intervene in this area. ”

"And we didn't expect them to be so bold, with a reserve of 6 million tons...... That's almost a year's worth of their exports. ”

"If anything unexpected happens, their entire domestic soybean market will collapse......"

Walt's face was full of doubt, and he couldn't figure out why the Argentine authorities had made such an unreasonable decision.

Wouldn't it be a further push to push oneself into the abyss when most of the market is divided up by ADM and Cargill on a large scale?

What conditions did the Chinese negotiate with them that made them so crazy?

Looking at his expression, Conette became more and more angry.

"You mean, don't even you know the logic behind this deal? So please tell me, where is your profession like a 'professional'? ”

"According to your plan, COFCO should go to Brazil to buy soybeans, which is the market with the most abundant reserves right now!"

"But really? What they are looking at is not the open market at all, but the reserves of various countries! ”

"After Argentina, who else?"

"If you had judged this information earlier, maybe we could have prepared in advance, but by now, it's too late!"

After listening to Conant's words, Walter fell silent.

It's not that he doesn't want to refute, and it's not that he doesn't want to point out that "we're a commercial company, and you're talking about your May meeting."

However, it is precisely because they are May that they cannot refute it.

Once you anger them, even if it is ADM, it is difficult to say that you can get out of it all.

After all, the power of that huge organization is far more than confined to the grain market.

After a long silence, he finally sighed and spoke:

"Mr. Conant, we are also helpless to cause such a situation."

"But, objectively speaking, this will not have a material impact on our plans."

"As you said before, we're targeting the market here, the pricing power of this market."

"Then, the most critical step is still the smashing after that."

"You must know that the price of soybeans in the current market is still high, and the 6 million tons of soybeans purchased by the other party cannot all flow into the market in the short term.

"It is expected that the price of soybeans will continue to rise within a month."

"We can still achieve our goal as long as we continue to push up prices for a month, to provoke the appetite of speculative companies, to make a last-ditch effort, and to consume the remaining funds and resources."

"So, our plan has to be accelerated - all the news that has been prepared for a long time must be released."

"Then, in two weeks, we started our takeover!"

Conant stared at Walter indifferently, his piercing eyes as if to pierce the other, and the latter met him fearlessly, and a silent battle ensued between the two.

Finally, Conant was defeated.

He looked away and spoke:

"Just do as you say!"

……

Two days later, ADM's offensive in the soybean market was finally in full swing.

One by one, news is deliberately put into the public opinion market, and in this era when information is still relatively scarce, these news will undoubtedly stir up waves of turbulence.

However, in contrast, these waves are all blocked by the reef blocks.

A newspaper had just published a piece of news that "the international soybean market is in supply difficult, and the shortage may continue", and two hours later, another newspaper with equal influence immediately published the news that "Brazilian ports are stuck in soybeans and the excess production cannot be digested".

Subsequently, the news that "the bad weather continued in the soybean producing areas of the United States, with a maximum temperature of 40 degrees" was suppressed by the news that "Argentina has rained rain, and the Ministry of Agriculture predicts an increase in grain production".

What's more, there is "insufficient capacity, shipping companies increase prices", followed by "CSSC's four 500,000-ton cargo ships have passed the acceptance of coal-to-grain conversion and will go to Buenos Aires".

"The futures market is active, and soybean futures hit a new high."

"The regulatory authorities have stepped in to stop the illegal speculation."

"The contract for the purchase of 6 million tons of soybeans with Argentina has been signed, and all deliveries are expected to be completed within 4 months."

"There is a serious shortage of cultivated land in China, and the future pattern of non-staple grain is worrying."

"Significant progress has been made in synthetic starch technology, and the cultivated land space has been further expanded."

"Make money! Big money intervenes! You must see this kind of futures! ”

"Illegal operation! Want to repeat the old story? Whoever dares to cut off the power will be judged! ”

……

After a set of combination punches, Conant thought that he would be stunned directly, but he didn't expect that every punch he threw was actually followed!

How is this possible?

They obviously have no experience in dealing with the impact of the capital market, and they have even been caught off guard by domestic speculation several times before.

And, far from it, even before December, their response was still very rudimentary, otherwise it would not have been possible for companies like ADM to get so much leverage.

That's why I took on this task with confidence.

But the problem is that as soon as we enter January, these people suddenly become enlightened!

Not only has the response in the capital market matured a lot, every move is aimed at the key point, and even now, they can still free up their hands to fight the war of public opinion!

It is simply unheard of for him to use the news of synthetic starch to counteract the negative news of the lack of arable land......

Are you kidding me? We don't have the technology, you have it?

What's worse is that this extremely sci-fi statement is really very popular with the people, and the market price only rose for less than two hours, and it was pressed back in an instant, and even hit a new low in the short term.

Conant smashed the teacup in front of him in a rage, and thought viciously in his heart:

Blow it, and when the lie is exposed, I will see what reason you use to prevaricate the past......

It is conceivable that the public opinion offensive launched by the May Conference and the ADM has failed after all.

The price of soybeans is firmly locked at the level of 4,300 yuan, which is still a full 1,000 yuan away from the best smashing point predicted in May.

If you start smashing the market at this time, it will be difficult for your side to achieve effective results.

Of course, it may also bring a certain impact to this market, but it is impossible to take advantage of the situation and completely control the market......

Therefore, he had to use option two:

Keep up the foodie.

As long as you eat all the surplus in the market, the price will definitely rise.

So, he applied for special funds from the May Club and began to sweep the market.

Whether it's futures or spot, it's all eaten.

But at this time, the first shipment of soybeans from Buenos Aires arrived.

A full 400,000 tons.

Put it on the market, corresponding to a full 1.7 billion yuan.

Conant gritted his teeth and ate most of the goods, and lost 20% of the $1 billion he applied for.

Immediately after that, there was the second ship, the third boat.

His money quickly bottomed out, but by this time, there was no turning back.

In the office, Conant cautiously made a phone call:

"I know it's a risky operation, but it's really the best alternative right now."

"What we have lost is only some interest on our funds, and as long as we can push up the price as planned, the subsequent returns are absolutely immeasurable."

"Besides, we're already on board, so there's no way to retreat......"

"Yes, I see...... I only need 2 billion, and when the 2 billion is spent, I will immediately start smashing the market, no matter what the price is. ”

Hanging up, Chief Connell let out a long sigh of relief.

He had a vague sense that something was wrong.

But when it came to him telling what was wrong, he didn't have a clue.

I always feel ...... It seems that there is something going in the wrong direction.

Or maybe I'm not in the right position......

Conant's brows furrowed, but he didn't think too much about it, and immediately after receiving the budget, he started a new round of foodies......

……

After two full weeks, Conant finally spent the last money.

At this time, the price of soybeans has also reached a high of 4,700 points.

Although it still can't achieve the greatest benefit at this time, as long as it can succeed, at least I can explain to the May meeting and the officials on the other side of the sea.

So, he sat down in front of the screen that monitored the market in real time and gave his own instructions.

"Start smashing!"

As soon as the command is received, the ADM starts operating.

A large amount of inventory quickly flowed into the market, and on the futures trading platform, tens of thousands of sell orders filled almost the entire screen.

Soybean prices plummeted in response.

Conant watched all this with satisfaction, he knew that the end of Huaxia soybeans was coming.

Speculators who have hoarded large quantities of soybeans will be ruined by this sharp rise and fall.

Countless enterprises will go bankrupt, the market space will become extremely empty, and at that time, a series of actions that have been arranged long ago can be executed.

Acquisitions, Mergers and Acquisitions, Holdings......

The soybean industry, from top to bottom, from production to processing to sales, will all be in the hands of ADM and the May......

Conant happily contemplates his plans for the future, and he intends to pour himself a glass of wine to celebrate the successful completion of the mission.

But the moment he picked up the wine glass, a bright red number suddenly jumped in front of his eyes.

Buy order of 20,000 lots.

Huaxia people, start the tray.

By this time, the price of soybeans had fallen to 4,400 points.

Conant suddenly became nervous, and he immediately picked up the phone and ordered AMD to speed up the sell-off.

But all of that didn't help.

One buy order after another was put up, and although the futures price was falling, the magnitude of the decline seemed to be artificially controlled......

At this rate, China's soybean market will not only not collapse, but will ......

Finished!

A flash of thunder flashed through Connet's mind.

He suddenly came to his senses.

No wonder I always felt that something was wrong.

It's the other way around! Everything is reversed!

Obviously, it should be the other side that first raises the price, and then consumes the other party's funds, and then uses the advantage of inventory to smash the market.

But the current situation is that the other party first consumes its own funds with a large amount of inventory, and then uses a huge amount of money to buy the inventory that it has hoarded at a high price at a low price!

Take my money and do your business?!

It's a trap!

I always thought that May and ADM were hunters, but now the situation is ...... You are the prey yourself!

And this transformation is happening quietly!

Conant stood up suddenly, sweat oozing from his head, and his whole body trembled as if swept by a strong electric current.

He could barely hold the cup.

The drinks have long been spilled on the floor.

And his face was as pale as clear wine.

Now, there was only one thought left in his head:

It's the other way around......
