Chapter 329 COFCO’s Dimensionality Reduction Strike

"The production increase technology is given to Xiong Da?"

Ye Zhou frowned, as if he had understood a deeper meaning from Chen Hao's words.

As he had judged before, there is no major gap in the world's current food supply. The gaps created by artificially created are either hoarded by traders or pedaling panic.

The former is easy to operate, but the amount of funds is limited, and the gaps it can cause are also limited. Although the latter is difficult to operate, once it is completely incited, the effect it can cause is extremely terrible.

Therefore, what rabbits really need to solve is not only the problem of stockpiling goods by the four major grain merchants, but also properly deal with the panic they can incite.

This is the purpose of the urgent project of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to launch gene editing technology. They do not need to really plant a large amount of rice through this technology this year. As long as they can use strong evidence to positively "we can plant it" it is enough.

And to go further, what if more than just rabbits can be grown?

If a big bear can be planted?

What if all countries on the side of rabbits can be grown?

Then it is obvious that by that time, the fear of so-called "famine" will become a joke.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

What this rabbit sees is always further than what the actual situation requires.

China is not just about resisting, but about counterattack.

The opponents they are targeting are not only the four major grain merchants, but also... seed companies.

This is a chess piece that is based on the global food market. After this chess piece falls, there will be one killer move after another to continue to make moves.

After pausing for a moment, he asked:

"This should be a relatively backward strategy. What are we mainly doing now?"

"Now?"

Chen Hao thought for a few seconds, and then replied:

"Catch smuggling, rumor-mongering, and prepare for emergency resource allocation."

"Emergency release of staple food?---- COFCO wants to directly seize the terminal market?"

"Yes. They want to seize this opportunity and make changes to the production model of grain and oil from the source. Can you guess where this opportunity comes from, right?"

Ye Zhou nodded and sighed with emotion.

The modern market economy is indeed a magical thing. Two seemingly unrelated things are actually connected at this moment.

And the core node of this connection is polypropylene.

...

Taizhou, Shenkai Packaging Factory.

Factory director Liu Yuan was in a panic patrolling the factory production line. His face was both nervous but also a faint expectation.

He had been sleeping less than 4 hours a day for two weeks, but this busyness did not make him feel tired, and the energy in his body was as continuous as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

His factory just received a large order, and the content of the order was to produce food-grade packaging bags, while the quantity of the order was 100 million.

One hundred million food packaging bags with a length of 40 cm, a width of 30 cm, and a volume of 25 liters.

A few months ago, when this order just appeared on the market, hundreds of plastic product manufacturers in Taizhou immediately rushed up like a shark smelling blood, and his Shenkai Packaging Factory was one of them.

Compared with other manufacturers in the plastic kingdom of Taizhou, his factory does not have a technical advantage in scale, but his vision is far beyond the heads of other manufacturers because he is keenly aware of the basic logic.

The one who placed the order was COFCO Group. The purpose of packaging bags was to commercially package all staple food products. Therefore, in order to obtain this order, he had to guarantee only two points:

Safe and cheap.

In terms of safety, as long as the raw materials reach the food level and then certain controls are made in the production process, it is not difficult to ensure safety, so the core of competition is only price.

However, it is not easy to fight a price war with peers in an already extremely mature industry.

During the bidding stage, many peers offered unit prices that were almost flush with the cost. If they were produced at this unit price, it would be almost impossible for manufacturers to make money.

After the first round of bidding results were announced, hundreds of manufacturers instantly withdrew 90%. They were not able to further reduce costs, so they did not intend to do such a huge-scale project that was almost destined to lose money.

But Liu Yuan did not withdraw because he saw an opportunity from the public news reports.

Domestic sulfur silicon batteries are being rolled out on a large scale, the traditional energy market has been hit hard, and international crude oil prices have plummeted.

Although in a short period of time, with the joint efforts of all parties, the crude oil price has rebounded to a stable price, Liu Yuan knew that this price was definitely fake.

The demand for oil has literally decreased.

So he quickly inferred that since crude oil is in a serious oversupply situation and the international crude oil price is stable and does not fall, then the one that will fall must be other finished products related to crude oil.

Polypropylene, the most important one among petroleum products, is the key raw material for plastics. Its price must drop.

Moreover, as long as it starts to fall, it will definitely plummet.

Therefore, based on his own perception, Liu Yuan came up with a quote that made everyone stunned in the second round of bidding, and directly cut it to the lowest quote in the first round.

Everyone thought he was crazy, but only he knew that it would be a big bet.

If sulfur silicon batteries are really as strong as the news says, and if the country can really end the traditional fossil energy hegemony with new energy, then the decision he made will become a classic battle that has been recorded in the history of business.

But if sulfur silicon batteries and new energy sources fail, they will also be in a state of doom.

---The results are obvious.

On that very ordinary and dull day when he had no idea what was going on, the price of polypropylene suddenly began to plummet.

In the following week, the price of polypropylene fell to its historical low, only 15% before the plunge.

The price he offered not only did not make him face losses, but he even had to make a profit - a big profit!

Therefore, his factory, which is not very large, naturally took on this task that might play a decisive role in the entire China's food security. In order to complete this task, he directly paid four times the overtime wages to all overtime workers, and even the canteen started to operate 24 hours a day, just to complete the order before the contract agreed time limit and get the large amount of early performance bonus provided by COFCO.

Liu Yuan inspected the production line and recorded several key nodes with a pen with a pen. After turning around and leaving the production line and heading towards the canteen, he was preparing to eat his first meal of the day.

There were already many shift employees in the cafeteria having dinner. He picked a table and sat down. Because it was a family-based management, his relationship with the employees was not too unfamiliar. When he saw him coming, the employees were not restrained. After simply saying hello, he continued to talk about the original topic.

"...So I said, the country must have a huge goal this time. Think about it, 100 million packaging bags, each containing 40 kilograms of grain, how many tons is it? 20 million tons?"

"Two million tons."

"Yes, two million tons. This is just the first batch of orders. I heard that other manufacturers have also won orders. Their quantity is not small. Boss, is this news correct?"

Liu Yuan nodded and replied:

"That's right, Hongyuan and Xinxin also received orders, no less than us."

"That's right! So the current situation is that the country has to directly attack those grain compradors."

"What does this mean?"

Liu Yuan asked in confusion when he heard the workers' words.

He himself does not know the food, so he cannot connect the connection between the so-called "packaging bag" and the "comprador".

The worker put down his chopsticks, coughed and said:

"First of all, we need to solve a problem. What is the difference between our consumers buying grain and compradors buying grain?"

"Is it the difference between the purchase quantity?"

"That's right! We buy grain, and it's more than tens or hundreds of kilograms at one time, but what about compradors? What they buy at one time is not calculated by kilograms, but thousands of tons!"

"You've learned after reading the news recently. This time the country said it would release 100 million tons of staple food, and now it has started to release it, but has the food in our market increased? No? What's the reason?"

"It's very simple. Most of the grain was eaten by these compradors. After they ate it, they did not really put it into the market, but hoarded it in their own hands and wait for the price!"

"This result is terrible. If the country wants to release food to save the market, it must first satisfy the comprador's appetite, and the efficiency of the market will be greatly reduced."

"So, COFCO has to take another path---that is what we are doing now."

"They want to pack all the grain they are going to put into small packages, and then directly put it into the terminal market through the channels that COFCO Group had previously installed!"

"Distribute it to supermarkets, grain and oil stores, and the convenience store downstairs of your house!"

"In this case, compradors will never find any opportunity to store grain--unless they go to the supermarket to personally shop the goods."

"If there is a comprador who does this, it will be more than enough to convict them of the market."

"So this wave is a reappearance of history. In the soybean oil battle, the country actually used this trick, but the scale is much smaller than this time."

After listening to the worker's explanation, Liu Yuan nodded in conscience and said in praise:

"There must be my teacher when three people walk. Xiao He, you know a lot."

Xiao He smiled embarrassedly and replied:

"I just saw some interpretations, and this is not something that is difficult to understand."

"You are humble, and it is already very good to think of this step. But I still have a question. It is not easy to put such a huge amount of small packaged grain on the terminal market, right?"

A proud smile appeared on Xiao He's face, and then he answered:

“It may not be easy for other countries.”

"But we have Hualiang Logistics and Huaxia Post."
