Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 450 Soybean War!

In the eyes of the older generation, only when a newborn child is blessed by more people can he grow stronger in the future!
One night, the entire ranch was filled with a lively atmosphere. With the participation of the Maasai people, the entire campfire dinner was even more lively than the last time. After all, Wang Lu and the veterans were just drinking and bragging together.

The Maasai tribe are good at singing and dancing. Some Maasai girls started writhing right next to the bonfire, causing all the men around them to cheer.

Wang Lu and his family were sitting together with Elder Hassan, chatting casually about some interesting stories about the tribe's migration on the grassland this year. With Parker translating next to them, even Zhou Rou listened with interest.

Because Elder Hassan was there, no Maasai people dared to come to Wang Lu for a drink without opening their eyes. Of course, many people were eager to try.

Fortunately, the veterans became the drinking partners of this group of Maasai people.

However, these Maasai people, who can basically be regarded as drunkards when it comes to drinking, are no match for the veterans. The veterans drank these guys down with almost no action, especially when the veterans took out the money they bought from the country. The purchased high-purity grain liquor, these Maasai people have never drank this kind of strong liquor. After drinking one glass, they will be drunk. However, the exciting and spicy feeling also makes this nation who still retains their wild nature fall in love with it. This feeling made them abandon the wine and beer they originally drank.

The bonfire party ended quickly in this cheerful atmosphere, and the happy time is always short.

The Maasai helped each other's drunken bodies get into the pickup truck of the veterans. Out of their trust in Wang Lu, they also accepted cars, which were still a new thing to them.

Early the next morning, Wang Lu got up and checked whether his eldest son had unzipped his trouser pockets. In order to avoid waking up the mother and son who were still sleeping soundly, he took out his mobile phone and started browsing.

As a result, Wang Lu came across some interesting news.

Soybean prices have increased?
This incident made Wang Lu completely sober up.

Then Wang Lu clicked on the news and began to read it in detail. By the time Wang Lu's mouth turned out to be a look of disdain.

The reason why Wang Lu was able to read this news was not purely an accident. After all, the price increase of soybeans has begun to ferment in the country. It can be regarded as one of the four major staple foods, and it is related to what is on the dining tables of ordinary people. It’s considered major people’s livelihood news.

This time the trend of soybean price increases started from abroad. The four major grain merchants uniformly increased the unit price of soybeans. The domestic soybean market is highly dependent on imports. It is foreseeable that once the price of soybeans increases, the domestic grain and oil prices will rise. , feed and other things have to increase accordingly.

If it were normal market business behavior, that would be fine, but there was clearly something wrong here.

After all, this year’s soybean market is not much different from previous years, and there are no hard conditions for change at all!
Fortunately, Wang Lu received a call later.

After the call was connected, Wang Lu heard a familiar voice:

"Mr. Wang didn't disturb you, right? It should still be morning in Africa!"

Although this voice was old, it was thick and full of power. The old man whom Wang Lu met in Beijing before was officially in charge of the entire agricultural industry in China.Wang Lu was not surprised that the other party knew his phone number, but he was a little surprised that the other party would call him personally.

"No, no, I'm already awake and watching the news, about soybeans!"

Wang Lu quickly answered, and the old man on the other end of the phone also said in a deep voice:
"It seems that Mr. Wang has paid attention to the international information. In this case, I won't say more. This time, the storm is about to come!"

Listening to the tone of the old man on the other end of the phone, Wang Lu also sat up. It seemed that his suspicion had been confirmed!
Then Wang Lu heard the old man on the other end of the phone say in a deep voice:

"The increase in international soybean prices this time is entirely the result of manipulation by the four major grain merchants and the countries behind them. The situation is very unfavorable to us!"

After hearing this, Wang Lu also breathed out:

"It looks similar to what I thought, but I haven't done much research on these things. I think I need you to help me figure it out!"

To be honest, Wang Lu is at most a college student who has just graduated. Although he has come into contact with people at this level, he does not have much understanding of this international situation and can only have a rough idea.

He only knows that greedy guys like the four major grain merchants must have some agenda when they do something!
Then the old man on the other end of the phone spoke slowly, and instead of directly analyzing the current situation for Wang Lu, he talked about a past event.

At the beginning of this century, when domestic soybeans were not so heavily dependent on imported soybeans, the four major grain merchants promoted a wave of soybean price increases. This forced domestic companies that already relied on imported soybeans to maintain normal production to Losing money and spending more money to import soybeans has also attracted domestic farmers to start planting soybeans, hoping to take advantage of this east wind.

But in the second year, the other party lowered the price of soybeans, causing many soybean farmers to lose their money. The domestic soybean market shrank rapidly again, and the other party took more shares, making domestic soybeans dependent on imports. It’s getting more serious!
When the old man finished speaking, Wang Lu immediately understood that the four major grain merchants were planning to repeat their old tricks!
And there is no way to do it here in China, this is almost a conspiracy! ,

Who controls 80.00% of the world's grain trade, especially soybeans? They control the lifeblood of domestically imported soybeans. With pricing power and monopoly status, they can do almost anything they want!

"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you!"

Seeing that Wang Lu didn't speak, the old man casually brought the topic to Wang Lu.

"I?"

Wang Lu was a little confused, but a smile came from the other end of the phone:
"The new varieties of rice, corn, and wheat you have cultivated have made these guys completely unable to sit still. The profits we made from these greedy guys last year were not small. This is unacceptable to them. This It’s their counterattack!”

"They plan to use the strategy of pushing up soybean prices to warn us that it won't be long before these people come to us for negotiations and use this shameless method to gain benefits from us!"

Speaking of the latter part, the old man's tone was already filled with a little anger. After all, the four major grain merchants in China have made countless profits in recent years!
