Sign in Starts From Farming in the Countryside

Lin Chen didn't know about the appearance of God-Eating Insects in the Alps of the island country, and his energy was not on it. His attention was now all on the Matsui Group in the island country.

In September, Lin Chen asked Song Kai to buy at least 800 million tons of grain from abroad, and then transport it to the harbor city for storage in case of emergency.

Song Kai also followed Lin Chen's request. It was fine at first. The plan to buy grain went smoothly. He bought 400 million tons of grain at twice the current world grain price, and it has also been transported to Harbour City. Stock up.

However, when he bought the remaining grain, there was an accident. The grain merchants who had paid the deposit did not sell it. They would rather pay him double the amount of the deposit than sell the grain to him.

This situation not only surprised Song Kai, but also annoyed him.

Fortunately, Song Kai is not an ordinary person now. He also has a certain reputation and strength abroad. Although those grain merchants broke the contract, they didn't want to offend Song Kai completely, so they told him the reason for breaking the contract.

It was not until after hearing the words of the grain merchants that Lin Chen knew why these grain merchants broke the contract. It turned out that all this was done by the island country behind the scenes, to be precise, the island country's Matsui Group was behind it.

The 400 million tons of grain originally set by Song Kai at twice the price have now been cut off by the island country's Matsui Group at five times the price. Not only that, but the liquidated damages paid by these grain merchants to Song Kai were also paid by Matsui Group. .

Hearing this, Song Kai could also understand why these grain merchants breached the contract so neatly.

Not only do they not have to pay a penny for defaulting, they can also earn five times the profit. No matter who it is, it is difficult to resist such a temptation.

Don't say that foreigners are very contractual?

These words are bullshit. If there is a spirit of contract, it means that the price you offer is not enough.

In foreign countries, interests are the first, and what is the face and contract, it is ranked behind money and interests.

After learning the reason, Song Kai did not entangle, because he knew that even if he was entangled, it was useless, and others would pay him double the liquidated damages for breach of contract.

Moreover, in Song Kai's opinion, this matter is unnecessary. He will still need more food in the future, and he will need to cooperate with these big grain merchants in the future. It's too ugly now.

Although these grain merchants defaulted,

But the root of the matter is not on these grain merchants, but on the Matsui Group in the island country.

Perhaps out of embarrassment, the defaulting grain merchant told Song Kai another news, that is, the Matsui Group in the island country bought almost all the grains that could be traded in the market this year at five times the price.

When Song Kai heard the news, he was completely shocked. No wonder he suddenly couldn't buy food on the market. It turned out that it was all bought by the Matsui Group in the island country.

Song Kai, who got the news, didn't dare to neglect, and then flew to Xia Country in a hurry, and told Lin Chen the news exactly.

The task that Lin Chen gave him was to buy 800 million tons of grain before the end of the year, and increase the grain reserve this year to 2 billion tons. Because New Year's Day is only two days away.

Four hundred million tons of food, two days, not because Song Kai didn't believe in himself, but because he really couldn't finish it.

What's more, all the grains on the market this year have been purchased by the Matsui Group. Even if he has money, he can't buy grain now.

Unless he can offer a higher price than the Matsui Group, Song Kai thinks it's not worth it.

"Have you found out why the Matsui Group suddenly bought so much grain in large quantities? Also, have you found out the source of funds for the Matsui Group to buy so much grain?"

After listening to Song Kai's remarks, Lin Chen didn't blame him, because Song Kai wasn't blamed for this matter.

Although Lin Chen needs a lot of food reserves to deal with the asteroid crisis two years later, in his opinion, it is really not worthwhile to spend five times the price to buy food.

Before the flood disaster, the price of grain in the world market, taking rice as an example, was only $400 per ton. After the flood, the price of rice once rose to $1,500 a ton, and even if it has fallen back, it remains at $1,000 a ton.

The Matsui Group bought it at five times the price, which is $5,000 a ton. Even though Lin Chen needs food very much, the price is really outrageous.

In the world market, there are about tens of billions of tons of grain traded every year. These tens of billions of tons of grain, even if the price given by the Matsui Group is five times, it is impossible to buy all of them.

Even if the Matsui Group wants to buy all of them, it is impossible for those grain merchants to sell all of them to the Matsui Group, because it also involves the relationship of national interests.

Even if it doesn't buy all of it, at least more than 60% of the grain this year has fallen into the hands of the Matsui Group.

Sixty percent, that is, more than six billion tons of rice. Once all the rice is transported to the island country, the crisis of food shortage in the island country will no longer exist.

This situation is not what Lin Chen wants to see.

If these grains are successfully transported to the island country, then everything Lin Chen has done in the past eight years will be in vain.

In Lin Chen's view, food cannot be transported to the island country anyway.

Now Lin Chen is curious as to where the Matsui Group got so much money to buy these grains.

A ton of rice is $5,000, and six billion tons of rice is $3 trillion.

Although the Matsui Group is a large SS-level group with a market value of several hundreds of trillions, it is impossible to come up with cash that accounts for one-tenth of the market value at once. It's definitely not that simple here.

"It is clear that these grains were not actually purchased by the Matsui Group, but were purchased by the island country government in the name of the Matsui Group. The source of the funds for the Matsui Group's purchase of the grain was also found out. The money was actually not paid by the Matsui Group itself."

Having said that, Song Kai paused for a while, and then continued.

"The island country government provided some of these funds, which accounted for about one-tenth, and then Matsui Group contributed 40% of the funds, and the remaining half was jointly funded by major consortiums in the island country. …”

Song Kai told Lin Chen in detail all the news he had inquired about during this time.

As soon as he learned that the Matsui Group cut Hu himself, Song Kai spent a lot of money to inquire about the news.

Although these information are confidential, the most confidential information is nothing in front of money. In foreign countries, as long as you have money, you are God.

This information was obtained by Song Kai from a cabinet official of the island country at a cost of more than 500 million US dollars. And this cabinet official is specifically responsible for the food security of the island nation.

Not only did Song Kai spend money to inquire, but he also used his intelligence organization to inquire, and the two were combined to verify, which is why he said these words to Lin Chen.

"One more thing, the Matsui Group's sudden large-scale purchase of grain this time also has a reason for deliberately targeting me."

"Deliberately targeting you. Why? Did they find out who you are?"

Hearing Song Kai suddenly say this, Lin Chen was also surprised.

Song Kai's identity is very secret, and it is impossible for people from the Matsui Group to find out. Moreover, the company Song Kai established is also independent and has no connection with Chenyi Agricultural Company. Why did Matsui Group suddenly target Song Kai?

"I found it, but I didn't find it. In my opinion, it may be that I bought too much grain this year, and it was shipped to Harbour City for storage. In their opinion, maybe I have some kind of relationship between Xia Guo."

Song Kai explained.

"Well, ignore this for now, as long as they don't discover your true identity. Although we haven't discovered it now, we have to guard against this, and you can't fly back to Xia more frequently in the future. After all, you are abroad now. The identity is not ordinary, too frequent will attract the attention of interested people, we will contact through the Internet in the future, and I will configure a special mobile phone for each of you."

"OK."

"In addition, you continue to explore the source of funds of the Matsui Group."

Even if the Matsui Group only accounts for 40% of it, it will still cost 12 trillion US dollars. In Lin Chen's view, it is impossible for the Matsui Group to have such a large cash flow.

If the Matsui Group really took out so much cash, there would definitely be a problem with their group's capital flow, and then this would give Lin Chen a chance.

Lin Chen especially hopes that the Matsui Group will take out the cash reserves of his own group, so that he can carry out his own plan.

"Yes, I've asked my subordinates to inquire, but it's difficult. But we might as well give it a try. Maybe we can get the answer we want."

Song Kai knew what Lin Chen wanted him to do, that's why he said that.

"Okay, after you go back, tell Ren Chuan, you can let him join some Wall Street funds to test the truth of the Matsui Group. If things are really as we expected, then give Matsui hard at all costs. The group will come at once, not to mention that it will hurt his muscles and bones, but at least it will cause him a heavy loss." Lin Chen ordered.

In Lin Chen's view, since the Matsui Group dared to take the lead in blocking his food reserve plan, it must be prepared to be counter-sniped by himself.

No matter what the purpose of the Matsui Group was, it destroyed Lin Chen's grain reserve plan, which was what annoyed Lin Chen the most.

Well, didn't your Matsui Group buy all the grains in the market, but I would not let you transport these grains to the island country.

Lin Chen has already made up his mind. He is going to give the Matsui Group a ruthless attack, and by the way, he will also cooperate with Ren Chuan's actions. This time, he will not only hurt the Matsui Group, but also the island country government.

Asking for collections, recommendations, monthly passes, collections have plummeted in the past two days, and please support me more, thank you!
