Chapter 14 You see, you see, the price of sugar is changing
After Chen Mingluo got up, a cat began to bite his trouser legs and brought him to the water basin. Then he patted the water basin with his front paws and screamed.
Chen Mingluo was not sure, so the other cat had a bad temper. He stood up and slapped the water desperately with his two front paws, and meowed with his teeth and claws.
"Oh, maybe I want to drink water?" Chen Mingluo thought to himself, it is said that cats only drink clean water, so they must think that the water is not fresh.
So Chen Mingluo went to change the fresh water and put it on the ground. He saw the two cats suddenly quiet down and then went to drink water.
"What a cat is so old." Chen Mingluo grabbed his hair and said to him that he could send them to the warehouse as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been tortured to death by them?
In the afternoon, Chen Mingluo fed the two cats again, then carried them to the warehouse, threw them in, and locked the door. Later, he felt uneasy, so he found a basin and put some clean water in it. The weather is too hot now, and if the cat has no water to drink heatstroke, he will not be able to finish the task.
In the evening, Chen Mingluo was watching the news broadcast there very seriously.
My mother Dai Xuan asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that the official news is unreliable? You never watch the news broadcast? Why did you change your temper today?"
"Official news, occasionally there is something worth learning from. At least I can find some useful information from it." Chen Mingluo looked at the TV screen intently and said to his mother.
"It's true or false, what useful information can be found here?" Dai Xuan felt that her son's words were a little different from usual, and it seemed to make some sense.
"For example, the domestic news that day was just now-" Chen Mingluo said, "Many accidents in the south were hit by heavy rainstorms, mudslide disasters broke out in a few areas, and many railways on the Beijing-Guangzhou Line were destroyed. They are under emergency repairs, and it is estimated that they will not have much impact on passenger transport. What does this mean? North-south transportation will definitely be affected. Some of the important materials that must be transported through the North-South arteries will definitely rise."
Before, the price of white sugar was due to the large-scale failure of sugar cane in the south. At this time, coupled with the impact of the interruption of transportation between the north and the south, the price of white sugar in the northern region was irresistible.
My father Chen Tongda happened to come back at this time. When he heard his son's words, he couldn't help but say, "Well, the price of white sugar has risen. I heard from Guo Xiaozhong that during the day, people from other places came to find white sugar in the second-level station. The only remaining damage in the warehouse was sold out."
"How much has the current sugar price increased?" Chen Mingluo's question is more relevant.
"The official quote has reached one to two thousand two thousand." Chen Tongda replied excitedly.
"Why are the prices rising? You father and son look happy? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Dai Xuan didn't understand the behavior of her husband and son.
Chen Tongda and Chen Mingluo were naturally very good at being happy. The price of a ton of sugar rose by 800 yuan. The two hundred tons of sugar they saved directly benefited more than 160,000 yuan. It only took three days!
"The current market is priceless, but Guo Xiaozhong said that the sugar prices have risen in the past month, and this situation has never happened before." Chen Tongda chatted with Guo Xiaozhong for a while in the afternoon, so he asked these situations more clearly. At this time, he thought about it, and became more aware of his son's vision.
Chen Mingluo has some understanding of this situation. The problems facing the entire domestic market now include natural factors and policy factors. The price dual-track system has been completely relaxed. Therefore, sugar factories have the right to free pricing, and the pricing power of secondary wholesale stations has also increased. In the past, secondary wholesale prices were generally set at a relatively low level, and there was a lot of room for growth at this time.
Coupled with the impact of natural disasters in the production areas of raw materials in the south and the transportation difficulties caused by heavy rains, the skyrocketing sugar prices this year is really a reason.
If it were in previous years, the government might use the reserves in the strategic reserve sugar warehouse to stabilize sugar prices, but this is a sensitive period, and the senior management hopes to let the market adjust itself and adapt. Therefore, the rise in sugar prices will only stop after reaching a balance point of supply and demand, which is the ton price that Chen Mingluo expected is between 5,000 and 6,000 yuan.
The current price increase has only kicked off.
The next morning, after dinner, Chen Mingluo ran to the warehouse to take a look. The two old cats were indeed experts in mouse catching. There were more than a dozen mice that were bitten to death in the warehouse. These mice probably had never seen the power of cats. They actually ran into the warehouse one after another, and naturally they became dead souls under the claws of the old cats.
When Chen Mingluo went over to see, two old cats were playing with a half-dead mouse, throwing the fat big mouse around in the air, but not killing it.
However, Chen Mingluo also found a problem, that is, the two old cats were probably clumsy and did not eat these dead rats at all. Fortunately, he brought fresh meat over and replaced them with water. After serving the two cats, Chen Mingluo took a broom, found a dustpan to clean up the dead rats, and threw them into the garbage dump.
Lao Bai, the secretary of the city’s grain and oil factory, was still practicing Tai Chi. Seeing Chen Mingluo swept out so many big rats, he was a little shocked and said to him with a little emotion, "Did you drug the rats? You have gained a lot! The rat poison we usually use is basically used as supplements for rats."
"The medicine taken by people is useless, let alone the mice take it?" Chen Mingluo replied.
Lao Bai nodded and thought to himself that this was true. Last time the newspaper said that a village woman had a quarrel with a man. She couldn't figure it out for a moment and drank DDT at home to think about it. As a result, she drank two large bottles and lie on the bed without any reaction. After her man came back, she was shocked when she saw the empty bottle. When she was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, she found that DDT was a little bit, but the dose was very small, which was not enough to kill people.
For this reason, the farmer also wrote a letter of thanks to the pharmaceutical factory, but the other party was shameless to accept it.
Of course, this kind of news is mostly fake news created by tabloids to create gimmicks. If it is pesticide produced by a regular pesticide factory, the possibility of death in one bottle is as high as 90%.
