The work team here in Manhattan hasn't started yet, but wheat prices have already skyrocketed.
Accounts under Blueprint Capital instantly realized a large amount of profits, but the market situation had just begun, so Chen Fan was calm and not in a hurry.
He has seen the entire market, and of course he knows when this market wave will end.
When he withdraws from the market, the four major grain merchants will hate themselves, right?
A wave of people made money from under their noses and stole their profits.
This is the purpose of Chen Fan coming to the North American market, to steal the wool of these capital tycoons, and this is just the beginning.
What's even worse is that he also decided to raise a small fish here and lurk under their noses.
When Zhao Linlin came back from the villa, Chen Fan shouted, "Come here."
He was turning on the computer to read the news. Zhao Linlin came over and Chen Fan pointed at the computer screen, "Did you see it? Is it surprising?"
The content of the news turned out to be that the Parsi Peninsula has the largest food shortage in history. This year's food crisis may spread to the world.
Zhao Linlin was shocked when she saw such news.
"No... was there a bumper harvest last year? How could there be a food crisis?"
This really confused her.
The Passi Peninsula is the third largest grain production base in the world and is known as the world's granary. How could a food crisis occur? Zhao Linlin looked at the screen in disbelief, "It's incredible."
Chen Fandao, "You can't just look at the surface of many things. Now you know, right?"
"I guess this is the reason for the skyrocketing price of wheat. If this continues, not only wheat but other grain prices will also rise."
"Well, let's go to the Passi Peninsula tomorrow."
The Parsi Peninsula is in the southern part of the beautiful country, a full six to seven thousand kilometers away.
Chen Fan just wanted to see for himself the Parsi Peninsula, one of the world's granaries. Perhaps only by going there can he understand how cruel capital is.
Zhao Linlin understood what he meant, "Okay, I'll go get ready."
Chen Fan said, "Just a few of us can go, the others stay here and quickly get the working group started."
The next morning, the two set out with their bodyguards.
People who travel frequently will find that flying is actually quite tiring.
Especially flying for a long time is extremely boring.
Chen Fan was wondering if there was a faster and more efficient way of transportation that wouldn't require so much hassle.
Because he has been flying so many long distances recently, he is particularly disgusted.
After sitting for another ten hours or so, after landing, Chen Fan went directly to the hotel and took a deep sleep.
The Passi Peninsula is a country with vast territory and abundant resources. It has a very advantageous geographical location and occupies almost more than half of the entire South American territory.
By the time Chen Fan woke up from the hotel, it was already noon the next day.
It was a great sleep, and it relieved all the fatigue.
While eating, Zhao Linlin asked, "How long are we going to stay here?"
Chen Fan said, "One week at most. During this period, you should continue to pay attention to the trend of wheat."
"Um!"
After the two of them finished eating, they went for a walk outside to learn about the actual local situation.
Of course it is mainly related to food.
The Parsi Peninsula is a multi-racial country. The streets are full of blacks, whites, and local indigenous people. The price of local food is significantly higher than in other parts of the world.
In particular, wheat production is already two to three times that of Manhattan.
Moreover, most of the grain-related companies here are basically foreign-funded enterprises.
On the third day, the two went to the countryside and saw acres and acres of farmland. The Parsi Peninsula has a large area of cultivated land and is fertile. Basically, every place here is mechanized.
Chen Fan said to Zhao Linlin, "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you probably wouldn't have thought that areas with high food production are also short of food, right?"
Although Zhao Linlin often traveled with her father to gain experience, she had never been to a place like this.
If Chen Fan hadn't brought her over to experience it for herself, she would never have felt this way in her life.
The countryside here is very different from that in China. Apart from large tracts of farmland, there are almost no rural buildings.
After understanding and inquiring, Zhao Linlin found out the real reason.
In the past, all the land here belonged to local farmers, but due to extremely low yields and the entry of foreign capital into the Parsi Peninsula, they purchased large amounts of land from farmers for unified land management and planning, and moved these farmers to urban areas.
After selling their land and getting money, these farmers temporarily lived a very good life and became city dwellers.
But they soon discovered a problem. If money cannot generate money, it will be spent quickly.
And the land no longer belongs to them, so they have no choice but to work for these foreign investors and earn a meager salary.
After controlling most of the high-quality land in the Parsi Peninsula, these foreign investors have completely controlled the pricing of grain. If you say that the grain is in their hands, who doesn't want the price to be higher?
Therefore, food prices are getting higher year by year, not only here, but also in many places.
Therefore, those farmers who originally sold their land to foreign investors are now crying without tears and have become prey for others.
After Zhao Linlin figured out their operating mode, she gradually understood it.
This is no longer a simple capital game in the futures and foreign exchange markets, but another mode of operation of capital.
First, form a monopoly, and then cut the leeks.
In fact, these foreign investors are all companies owned by the four major grain merchants.
As long as they occupy the market, there is basically no room for other businesses to survive.
There were also people who tried to take advantage of the situation. Seeing the high price of grain here, they took the opportunity to buy a large amount of grain from outside and sell it. As a result, the four major grain merchants joined forces to lower the price, causing the other party to lose money.
The two spent a week researching on the Passi Peninsula, and after completely figuring out their routine, they returned to Manhattan.
The working group has been put in place and can conduct stock market control at any time.
At this time, the wheat futures market had risen to a high level, and the funds lurking in Blueprint Capital had at least tripled.
Although the total amount of funds deployed this time is not too large, if we close the position now and leave, we are expected to make a profit of 500 to 600 billion.
Chen Fan saw that the time was ripe and decisively asked Zhao Linlin to close the position and get out of the market as soon as possible.
It just so happened that Zhao Linlin was about to lead her working group into the stock market to show off her skills, so she closed her position in time and left without hesitation.
This bureau is a joint venture between the four major grain merchants. They are preparing to make a big harvest in the capital market. After more than half a year of operation, it is finally the harvest season. The celebration party is ready, so they are ready to roll up their sleeves and pick up the money.
But they never dreamed that a ghost would appear out of nowhere and cut off their victory midway.
"What a fool!"
The four major grain merchants who were in the meeting were instantly devastated when they saw 500 to 600 billion yuan withdrawing from the market.
A group of people stared blankly at the futures market with big eyes and small eyes.
