Chapter 431: Purchasing Grain
"It's just Mr. Zhao, five million oceans of grain is not a small amount, and you know the situation in China now.
Disasters have been taking place everywhere, and in addition to the ongoing wars, the peasants have no intention of producing at all.
Even the current grain reserves in Huguang are not very large, and such large-scale domestic grain purchases are easy to attract the attention of the above.....
I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask questions then....."
Tan Liren meant something, and the meaning was very clear, it is easy to suspect that you are a monopoly if you engage in it like this.
Although there is no clear monopoly law yet, it has long been explicitly forbidden to raise grain prices and hoard goods.
If you do this kind of thing once, you will have to do it once, and if you don't get it right, you have to go to prison.
"Who said I let you buy food in the country?"
"Huh?"
"Mr. Zhao, do you want to go to Southeast Asia to purchase? That's not impossible, but the price of grain there is not cheap, and the transportation price is not much worse than that of the domestic one. ”
Tan Liren can't understand a little, now the government is purchasing grain from Southeast Asia, and the price of grain there has been raised, even higher than in China.
As for other countries, it seems to be even more unreliable, the large grain countries in the north have been facing a food crisis in the past few years, and now all countries are falling into a food shortage.
"Mr. Tan, have you studied on the other side of the ocean before?"
Zhao Ming was a little casual, and Tan Liren immediately understood what Mr. Zhao was thinking.
"Mr. Zhao, do you want to purchase Citi's grain? It's simply impossible! Now the price of grain at Citi is higher than in our country, and this is a loss-making business. ”
Almost instantly, Tan Liren shook his head and vetoed, isn't it a fool to do this?
Zhao Ming was not in a hurry at all, but said lightly, "If I say that at the end of this year, the price of food on Citi's side will plummet, do you believe it or not?" ”
"That's not going to work!"
Tan Liren still vetoed, and analyzed very professionally, "Mr. Zhao, you may not know the situation at Citi.
Citi imposes exorbitant tariffs on other countries, which also leads other countries to impose the same tariffs on Citi.
Even if the price of food plummets, this tariff cannot be handled, and the transportation cost is still a bloody transaction! ”
"What if I can handle the tariffs?" Zhao Ming said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Tan Liren's words were suddenly blocked in his throat.
Mr. Zhao..... You mean smuggling ....."
Tan Liren looked at Zhao Ming in a low voice, and Zhao Ming showed a meaningful smile.
Smuggling should be done as soon as possible, he still remembers Wang Fatzi.
Previously, he had already figured out the details of Wang Fatzi, although his father was only a small official at the customs, but the backer behind him was not simple.
And it seems that the boss intends to replace the backer of Wang Fatzi's father, and he will have to replace it this year at the latest.
In other words, this year is a key node for knocking on foreign grain. missed it, and it will be difficult to make a fortune by relying on Wang Fatzi's relationship in the future.
"Having said that, but the situation on Citi's side is very special, their big landlords generally don't easily lower the price of grain, Mr. Zhao, do you really have a way to bring down the grain?"
Tan Liren received a lot of education from foreigners and knew the situation of foreign capitalists very well.
If the grain plummeted and could not be sold, they would rather throw it away or feed the animals than sell it at a low price.
Capitalists are very good at maintaining the relationship between supply and demand, but they will not be like in China, since the price is low, they should sell at a low price as soon as possible.
"Who said I was an acquisition? I'm here to help with the excess garbage. And these five million oceans, you exchange them for American knives.
Then I need you to visit the local farmer and give them a little gift.
And we're happy to help them with some excess inventory. ”
Zhao Ming said with a smile, and these words made Tan Liren a little confused.
You know, the price of food at Citi is very high right now.
And now Zhao Ming also understands what he means, basically let him get through the relationship with the local farmers.
The money is less like a purchase, more like a bribe. Just by bribes, this group of capitalists is willing to give away grain for nothing?
It's unrealistic.
"Mr. Zhao, to be honest, what you said is a bit of a fantasy, I don't think it's ....."
"The reward is 500,000 oceans!"
"Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"
"It's very simple, Mr. Tan, you help me run, whether it works out or not, I will give you 500,000 oceans after that, of course, I will also pay you 200,000 oceans in advance."
Hearing Zhao Ming's casual words of sending out 500,000 oceans, Tan Liren's mouth shook, and he nodded with difficulty.
No way, he gave too much.
His family background is not as deep as those two foreign directors, and the hundreds of thousands of oceans invested in Zhao Ming before are still his savings over the years.
Now, as long as you make a trip, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you can get 500,000 oceans, so why not do it.
"But Mr. Zhao said that, but will the price of food really fall by then?" Tan Liren was still a little skeptical.
Hearing this, Zhao Ming thought carefully this time.
It is certain that the economic crisis of '29 has led to a serious overproduction of food at Citi, but the collapse of food prices is not necessarily.
The reason is as Tan Liren said before, the capital market, since there is overcapacity, it is better to waste than consume too much capacity.
Secondly, exports are not good, because Citi's overlord behavior has led to high tariffs on Citi in various countries.
As a result, it is impossible for Citi's grain to be sold at a low price.
But again, who said you have to buy it?
Wouldn't you rather waste than consume too much capacity? Wouldn't it be nice for me to contribute money and help you waste too much production capacity here?
After calculating the time, according to the departure in June, Tan Liren should take an ocean cruise ship for about half a month.
It will be there in mid-June, and considering the vast and sparsely populated area of Citi, it will take a long time to go inland to meet the big farmers.
You can also meet those farmers in July.
At that time, although the economic crisis had not yet completely detonated, the overcapacity of agriculture had already been highlighted.
At this time, it was much the same.
"Well, no problem, you just go over there. In addition, Mr. Tan, you can also try to swallow this money by yourself.
This money is nothing to me, and the loss of five million oceans is nothing to me, but Mr. Tan, you should know that once a person does something wrong, it is difficult to have a chance to repent, right? ”
Saying that, Zhao Ming patted the other party's shoulder under Tan Liren's somewhat stiff expression.
——
As Zhao Ming walked away, Tan Liren still felt a chill on his back.
"Whew! Doing business with these bigwigs still has to be done carefully, but what is the purpose of this Mr. Zhao, how can he be sure that the grain on Citi's side cannot be sold now and can only be smashed in his hands? ”
He couldn't understand the news that he, a foreigner, didn't know, how did Zhao Ming, a noble son who often mingled in the ball party and banquet circles, know.
However, he didn't dare to have any other thoughts, and Zhao Ming's words just now reminded him of the awakening.
This is also because Zhao Ming's recent image is too good.
Even the big people who Tan Liren wants to look up to often mention this Mr. Zhao, which shows that Mr. Zhao's identity is not simple.
Now Zhao Ming even said that the acquisition of Huarussia Daosheng Bank will be acquired, and 10 million oceans will be spent without blinking.
As everyone knows, in this 10 million ocean, there is still the money he invested yesterday.
The three of them became tigers, and now Zhao Ming has really become a tiger.
