Faced with this middle-aged man’s question, Mother Chen was a little confused:

"This wheat isn't ripe yet, why did you buy it?"

The middle-aged man grinned and said, "Oh, that's right. I work in a feed factory. I buy it to use as livestock feed."

"What? As livestock feed?" Mother Chen was even more confused.

Buying such good wheat to use as livestock feed?

Isn’t this a waste of food?

But Chen Mo can understand.

He knew that these grain merchants should be engaged in silage.

Silage refers to feed made from green feed through controlled fermentation. Silage is known as "canned grass". It is juicy and palatable, has a sour smell, has high digestibility and is rich in nutrients. It is the best feed for cattle, sheep and other livestock. There are many raw materials for silage. All green plants that can be used as feed can be used as silage raw materials.

However, the green wheat that can be used as silage generally does not grow well because the grains are not full, or there is an insect infestation.

The quality of the wheat grown by my mother is even twice as high as ordinary wheat!

How could it be used as silage?

"Sorry, our green wheat is not suitable for feed." Chen Mo declined politely.

"It's okay, I'll buy it for 600 yuan per acre, how about it?" the middle-aged businessman said with a smile.

"Are you sick? You can buy ripe wheat for 600 yuan per acre and you will be rich! Why are you buying green wheat?" Father Chen couldn't help complaining.

In 2001, the general price of silage wheat was 200-300 yuan per mu.

As for mature wheat, according to optimistic scenarios, the maximum price per acre is only 600 yuan.

In this case, if you spend 600 yuan to buy silage wheat, wouldn't you be kicked in the head by a donkey?

"Our factory produces high-end silage, and of course we need high-quality green wheat. Just tell us whether to sell it or not?" said the middle-aged businessman.

"Sorry, we don't sell it," said Chen's mother.

"Sister, please think carefully. My price is much higher than the price of ripe wheat! If you sell it to me now, you won't have to pay for a series of expenses such as field management, harvesting, and straw processing, both inside and outside. It's like making two copies of money!" The middle-aged man said without giving up.

"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it! I'm not short of money! I farm the land for people to eat, not for animals!" Mother Chen was a little unhappy.

The middle-aged man refused to give up and wanted to pester him, but when he saw He Chenguang's murderous eyes, he immediately ran away in fear.

"What a lunatic! Why are you buying green wheat at such a high price?" Father Chen said speechlessly.

"If the green wheat is made into feed and eaten by animals, what else will people eat?" Mother Chen sighed.

This sentence made Chen Mo frown slightly.

"Chenguang, follow me and find out what's going on." Chen Mo said.

"yes!"

It is indeed too abnormal to suddenly appear in the field, a feed merchant who harvests green wheat at a high price.

But Chen Mo didn't think much about it, what if he was making high-end feed?

At night, He Chenguang came back.

At the same time, he also held several leaflets and business cards in his hands.

"Boss, there is indeed something weird."

According to the news that He Chenguang inquired about, many feed merchants suddenly appeared in the rural fields of Jiangbei to purchase green wheat at high prices.

Not only that, after He Chenguang inquired carefully, he found that they were all from the same company, and this company seemed to be a national chain.

"National chain?"

Chen Mo seemed to smell something dangerous.

He dialed a number and gave it to Song Siming: "Old Song, please do me a favor."

"Okay, you say."

"Help me find out how many feed merchants are harvesting green wheat across the country."

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Mo took out his laptop again, connected it to the Internet, and began to check grain futures in the futures market.

After checking it, Chen Mo was a little frightened!

Because in the past few days, all types of grain futures have seen price increases of 10%-20%!

Even when the economic environment is good, this increase is already extremely exaggerated.

What's more, the maturity period of wheat, corn and other grains in various countries is approaching recently, and there are no favorable events in the world for grain. Logically speaking, the price of grain futures should fall slightly during this period, right?

"Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!"

"Could it be that……"

Chen Mo suddenly realized something!

"Could it be that the four major grain merchants launched a price war against Daxia in advance?"

Suddenly!

Chen Mo broke into a cold sweat!

Because according to historical progress, it was only in 2005 that the four major grain merchants launched a grain price war against Daxia.

Chen Mo clearly remembered how bad the food price war had been on the prices of food in various countries around the world!

That year, the four major grain merchants launched a food war and spent huge sums of money to hype up the food shortage.

In a very short period of time, international wheat prices have skyrocketed six times, and prices of rice, soybeans, corn, etc. have also risen at a monthly growth rate of 50%!

Many poor countries without food reserves have even experienced major famines and even national bankruptcy because of this food price war!

However, in the summer of 2005, due to sufficient grain reserves, the price war was easily handled.

But it’s different now!

This year is 2001, and Daxia’s grain reserves are not as sufficient as they were in 2005!

If the butterfly effect of his own rebirth causes the four major grain merchants to launch a grain price war in advance, then the result may be very terrible - grain prices will skyrocket!

That kind of surge is not a double or triple surge, it may be more than ten times, or even dozens of times! ! !

Assume that during a period of abundant food, there are 101 servings of food for 100 people. Everyone knows that there is enough food and everyone can get at least 1 serving on average. Therefore, there will be no looting or skyrocketing food prices.

And if there are 100 people and there are only 99 portions of food, and everyone knows that one person will definitely have no food to eat and will starve to death, then looting will occur!

The original food price of 1 yuan per serving may even be snatched away by rich people at the price of 10 yuan, and more than one share is taken away!

Because he wants to make sure he doesn't starve to death!

This is the basic concept behind the four major grain dealers’ hype and grain price war.

Once food prices skyrocket, other commodities will also skyrocket!

That situation is more terrifying and terrifying than any stock market crash or economic crisis! ! !

And now, suddenly there are so many people harvesting green wheat at high prices...

Isn't this exactly the same as the preparations made by the four major grain merchants in the previous life before hyping up the food shortage?

Once a country's grain production drops significantly, that country will import grain to make up for the production gap. In that case, at least two problems arise: international food prices are out of control, and raising prices is a trivial matter. If we simply refuse to sell them to you, what can you do?

As soon as the news of a reduction in grain production comes out, it will cause social panic, and grain-related products will rise sharply.

When grain is no longer available, why don’t the four major grain dealers just sell it at whatever price they want?

That night, Chen Mo tossed and turned without falling asleep.

It wasn't until the next morning that Chen Mo called Song Siming early in the morning and asked him about yesterday's situation.

"There are indeed feed merchants across the country who buy green wheat at high prices as you mentioned."

Song Siming's words struck Chen Mo like a thunderbolt!

It’s over!

The butterfly effect of rebirth really appears!

The food war is coming!
