Chapter 151 Hunting
September 17th.
Mary went to work as usual.
After putting down the bicycle, she and her colleague Lingdang were stopped by the manager again: "Mary, go change the price tag."
"Oh, the price of rice has increased again?" Mary has become somewhat accustomed to it.
But the manager did not answer, but urged: "Go quickly, the supermarket may be busy today."
As soon as she picked up the printed price tag, Mary glanced at it casually.
'It has increased to 250? ...' She thought subconsciously, and suddenly her eyes widened, '25? Is it a printing error?'
She felt like shouting to the manager, "Manager, is the label wrong? It should be 250 pesos per kilo, right?"
"It's 25. Headquarters specifically notified us this morning. Go and change the label."
Upon hearing this answer, Mary and Lingling were stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on their faces. Although they could eat in the company cafeteria and get internal discounts when buying rice, the current price of rice still put a lot of pressure on their families.
Both of them worked much more quickly and quickly replaced the latest price tags on the rice, soybean oil, flour, and seaweed blended oil.
They also quickly used their mobile phones to notify their relatives and friends to come to the supermarket to buy.
Many supermarket employees were tipping off others.
At 7:30 in the morning, the supermarket opens.
"Here's the ID card! Give me 50 kilograms of glutinous rice."
"Three bottles of soybean oil..."
"Fuck... who stepped on my slippers..."
"Don't crowd, our supermarket is fully stocked."
Citizens who heard the news were worried that Fengrao Supermarket would only hold the promotion for one or two days, so they rushed to buy things.
Even though identity cards had to be checked and each person had a limited purchase quota, it did not stop citizens from rushing to buy. It was obvious that they had been frightened by the high food prices over the past month.
Jiahai Grain and Oil Wholesale Store not far from Fengrao Supermarket.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, the head of the sales department's face changed and he felt more and more uneasy. He quickly called his boss, Fan Oka.
Half an hour later, Fan Aoka, who had hurried over, stood at the door and looked at the surging crowd in Fengrao Supermarket, his face looking somewhat gloomy.
"Boss, how about we also lower the price to close the position?" The head of the sales department was already scared.
Their company now has 130,000 tons of rice in stock, and the average cost price is 53 pesos per kilogram.
Fan Oka refused to close the position without a second thought: "Impossible, according to the price of the Harvest Supermarket, we will lose 28 pesos per kilogram of rice."
His eyes were still filled with disbelief and luck: "Feng Rao Supermarket must be defrauding us. This must be their conspiracy. Maybe their inventory is almost exhausted. Yes, it must be like this. They can't fool me."
Soon Van Oka's phone kept ringing, and his collaborators became a little restless.
In other words, throughout Luzon, companies and speculators who were also speculating in rice, grains and oil were all shocked by the sudden price cut by Fengrao Supermarket.
Of course, these guys haven't given up yet and are still gritting their teeth and holding on.
Obviously, the cost prices of their rice, flour and cooking oil are not low. Faced with the lower-than-usual prices of Fengrao Supermarket , if they follow suit and sell off, the prices will only go lower.
This price will make them lose everything.
Therefore, they would rather believe that Fengrao Supermarket is plotting something than believe that Fengrao Supermarket has sufficient inventory.
The vast majority of them, including foreign-funded enterprises controlled by ABCD, have chosen to hold on.
Now they plan to compete with Fengrao Supermarket in patience and bargaining chips to see who will give up first.
…
On Manila TV news that evening.
In the news footage, Garfield and Lao Du appeared together in a hall.
At this time, the host's voice-over sounded in a rhythmic voice: "After difficult negotiations, Zhiren Company, Hongsavadi Development Group, Hongsavadi United Group, and Hongsavadi Qingye Group have completed the agricultural product procurement cooperation..."
"Before the end of this year, Hongsavady will provide Zhiren Company with 5 million tons of rice and 2 million tons of soybeans. Next year, the two sides will continue to expand the scope of cooperation..."
"Next is a detailed report..."
At the same time, detailed procurement details were announced on the official website of House of Plenty.
[…The company purchased 5 million tons of rice from Hongsavadi at a price of 2,400 gold yuan per ton, and 2 million tons of genetically modified soybeans at the same price…
Subsidiary contracts: Zhiren Company transferred the iron bamboo cultivation and processing technology to the three major groups in Hongsavadi, conditionally transferred two medium-sized shipyards, and undertook the construction of 15 methane fermentation plants and supporting facilities. ……].
It seems that the Homo Sapiens company was forced to sign a humiliating treaty.
Although Hongsavadi also needs to pay for procurement and construction costs in the subsidiary contract, the two parties are engaged in barter.
But now everyone in Southeast Asia knows that under Hongsavadi’s gold and dollar trading model, the Homo Sapiens company will definitely suffer a lot.
But in fact, the Sapiens company was just taking advantage of this opportunity to transfer some of the technologies that had been exposed to the public to the Hongsavadi branch through this transaction.
At the same time, a stable food supply channel was also reasonably obtained.
You should know that in this contract, the contract between Zhiren Company and Hongsavadi is not just a transaction for this year, but a long-term contract for 5 years.
Obviously, in the eyes of outsiders, Homo Sapiens must have paid a huge price for Hongsavadi's willingness to supply food to Luzon at a low price for five consecutive years.
This just happened to give Sapiens Company and Garfield an opportunity to hype up their tragic characters in Luzon.
You see, in order to feed everyone, the five major families and the Homo Sapiens company have all sold their meat to buy food, and everyone still doesn't support it. This is simply intolerable.
It instantly aroused people's sympathy and solidarity.
And as ships of rice and soybeans arrive at the Port of Manila.
Rice prices in Luzon collapsed instantly.
The stampede-like selling pushed the price of rice in the Manila area to 18 pesos per kilogram that day.
Those speculators who held a large amount of high-priced rice were directly killed in this pig-killing scheme.
On the top floor of Jiahai Company's office building, Fan Aoka was dumbfounded. He put down the TV remote control with trembling hands.
The company executives standing nearby dared not make a sound.
"Ahhh... my money!" Fan Oka screamed frantically, then swept away the computer and documents on the desk, and then cried:
"Wow... I don't believe it..."
"Boss, my condolences. By selling the inventory now, we can reduce some of the losses. We are not yet at the point of bankruptcy." The head of the sales department said stiffly.
"Haha... it's over... I previously mortgaged rice to the bank and borrowed 600 million pesos..."
"What?" The head of the sales department finally understood why the company had the money to purchase so much rice. It turned out that they borrowed money from the bank.
This loan apparently became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Suddenly, Fan Oka's expression became very crazy: "It's gone! Everything is gone!"
After saying that, he rushed to the top floor. Others did not dare to stop him and watched Fan Oka jump from the roof of the 8th floor.
Fan Oka's fat body fell freely in the air and then hit the concrete ground beside the road heavily.
The blood is like a blooming flower, exaggerating the filthy sin.
The passers-by around were frightened by the sudden appearance of flesh and blood and screamed or panicked.
Tonight in Manila is destined to be another sleepless night.
Many of the speculators whose positions were liquidated simply chose to jump off buildings, jump into the sea, or swallow their guns, ending their greedy lives.
And another storm is inevitably coming.
