Bai Feng came to Yang Dongxu this time not just to ask for credit for his work on e-sports. The purpose of coming here this time is because of the hype about the agricultural products 'mashed garlic' during this period.
Starting in July this year, the price of garlic in the domestic market began to skyrocket. Within a month, the price more than tripled than before, and the momentum has not stopped.
Now the price of garlic has been rising for more than two months in a row in September. The price has reached six times of what it was before July, and it is expected to continue to rise, causing people to complain and say they can't afford it.
In the past, when I went to a roadside stall to eat barbecue, the boss would give some bunches of roasted garlic as gifts. Now you go to eat beef noodles. If you eat two more pieces of garlic, your boss will feel sore.
"Are they the same group of people who were engaged in the stock market in the first half of the year?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"It's a group of people. The leaders are still the same, and then there are a few people who have made money in the stock market before, and a few new people have joined in. After the stock market is over, they start to engage in garlic.
At first, I only purchased them at low prices and took about 30% of the garlic stock on the market. Then they began to speculate on the original price of garlic, and several wholesalers with garlic stocks quickly followed suit when they saw the profits.
Finally, farmers saw that the price of garlic was increasing every day, so they also stocked up. There are also good people who feel that this is an opportunity and start to buy goods at high prices and act as second-hand dealers, which leads to the current situation of high garlic prices. "
"With only 30% of the goods, do you control the market?"
"Thirty percent is already a lot. In many industries, billions can be siphoned off without just speculating on one concept."
"The higher ups don't care about such things?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask.
"This is a matter that can be managed or ignored. You can say that it is a crime for them to deliberately disrupt the market. You can also say that it is a product of the market economy itself and should not be regulated rigidly.
In short, it depends on how you say it. Otherwise, where do you think the experts who are advocating in many news nowadays about the free market, the integration with international standards, and the independent market control of product prices come from? Don’t they all start farting after receiving money?
In addition, Song Lixing and people with backgrounds like Wang Chenghai joined later. As long as it doesn't cause any big trouble and it's just a garlic, there's basically no big problem.
After all, even if the price of garlic is soaring now, it will not have much impact on residents' lives if they don't eat garlic. And although the price is very expensive, they don't control the garlic and don't sell it. You can still buy garlic at the vegetable market, but the price is more expensive. "
"Of course they can buy garlic, but if they don't sell it to outsiders, how can they sell the garlic they have?" Yang Dongxu sneered.
Only by shipping goods while arguing about prices can you make more money. Regardless of the excitement preached by various experts, garlic is still rising.
As long as these people sell out all their goods, they can make a fortune from the futures market. Basically, the garlic market, which seems to be still booming, will collapse in an instant.
And there is one thing Bai Feng didn’t mention. When the price of garlic is extremely high, not all farmers are stocking up. We are not fools, everyone understands the principle of selling at high prices.
But at this time, you will find a strange phenomenon, that is, the price of garlic in the market is so high. It is obviously profitable to buy garlic from farmers, but the buyers do not buy garlic anymore.
There must be some reason why these garlic fryers are up to something, and part of it is the helplessness of the vendors.
Anyone who is not a fool knows that the current price of garlic is abnormal. The current price of garlic on the market is 18 yuan per catty, and you buy it from farmers for 10 yuan per catty.
If you take the garlic away and haven't put it on the market, and the price of garlic collapses, not to mention the loss of labor and transportation costs, your capital will be cut in half, and it will be considered a good thing.
Therefore, this scares many traders from harvesting their garlic stocks after selling them. This has resulted in a lack of circulation between product output and sales, and has also provided help for those who speculate on prices to control the market.
In addition, people are greedy, and it doesn’t mean that garlic cannot be stored. The current market price is 18 yuan per catty, so the farmer’s price of 12 yuan per catty is not excessive, right?
This makes vendors even more afraid to buy goods. In short, from an economic analysis, it is a market economy opportunism, and from a psychological perspective. These hype people are also masters at playing with people's hearts.
"Song Lixing is getting more and more active, and he actually started doing such sneaky things." Yang Dongxu curled his lips after sneering.
He and Song Lixing had been at odds with each other for more than a day or two. He had thought that this guy was a figure before, but he didn't expect that he was now so muddy that he couldn't hold up the wall.
"Do you think everyone is just like you, who wants to be famous and make a lot of money? Nowadays, laws and regulations are becoming more and more strict, and many things can be manipulated if they touch the line.
If nothing happens now, one is that you have covered it up well, and the other is that no one will mess with you. If you offend someone one day, it will be revealed in a matter of minutes.
Compared with those who will get involved as soon as the incident is revealed, speculating in the futures of agricultural and sideline products, controlling the market and making some price differences, is at best a speculative operation. You can hire a better lawyer and fine you to settle it. If it were you, what would you choose? "
"I choose to make money while lying down. If I don't do these sneaky things, I can make money every day while lying down." Yang Dongxu spread his hands.
Bai Feng wanted to throw the tea in front of her. This pretense was so irritating.
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. What are you going to do?" Yang Dongxu put away his teasing expression.
"They are very careful, they don't really step on the line, they just walk in the gray area. In terms of background alone, they are on par with us, so this kind of thing cannot be crushed.
In the end, they basically settled the matter with a fine, and at most they just threw out a few scapegoats. They don't look good, and if they lose a little money, nothing else will matter. "Bai Feng said.
Yang Dongxu raised the corner of his mouth and looked at her, "So the price paid is not proportional to the profit. There is no way to get enough benefits by slapping them to death, and it will also make them look hot, right?"
He understood Bai Feng's scruples. For example, taking himself as an example, it would take more than a day or two for him to be at odds with Song Lixing.
But basically the two sides haven't broken their skin yet, at least on the surface they can still get along and there is room for buffering. But in this matter, if he rushed up and slapped Song Lixing.
To tear two people apart is equivalent to tearing each other apart, and there will be no room for relaxation if anything happens in the future.
More importantly, people are offended. But the effect of offending is not good, and there is no way to send the other party to squat for a few years, so this quarrel seems a bit uneconomical.
Bai Feng shrugged after hearing Yang Dongxu's words. It was indeed not cost-effective to take action on this matter.
Especially since these people caused trouble for agricultural products, and they didn't offend her, Bai Feng, nor Yang Dongxu. Such rash actions will make many people feel that they are too aggressive.
Who doesn’t have a few children who accidentally do bad things to their superiors?
Regardless of your affairs, you jump out and give Song Lixing and others a kick. Then if their children do something bad in the future, will you also kick him into the pit?
Therefore, it is very important to learn from teachers in many things, as long as teachers are famous. That means Song Lixing and others are looking for death.
Originally, what I did was not a glorious thing, but I still insisted on teasing others, but I was kicked to death. This is what I deserved. No one sympathizes with me, but it will only add insult to injury.
"Then what's your plan? Let's just forget it?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Two choices, the first one is waiting. In addition to garlic, these people are also working on apples and ginger. They are also making arrangements for the traditional Chinese medicine market.
A harvest of garlic obviously does not satisfy them, so before getting garlic, they have a series of hype targets.
Let's wait first and ignore whether they go to get apples or ginger next. When they started frying Chinese herbal medicine, they directly attacked him and gave him a hard blow.
Chinese herbal medicine is the market we operate. They reach in randomly and just chop it. No one will say anything. Even then, we will clear out the old accounts of garlic and ginger.
Sending people to jail makes other people feel like they brought it on themselves. After all, you, Young Master Yang, have always had a bad temper. People who come to stir up trouble on your territory are directly sent to jail more than once or twice. They are dizzy and must be responsible for their own actions.
The second way is that the current leader of garlic speculation is Zhang Jincheng, who was responsible for the troubles in the stock market before. Everyone who works in finance knows that private equity, or some money from unknown sources, is just not exposed.
As long as we work hard to check the accounts, even if we can't send him to squat for more than ten years, it will at least be enough for him to drink a pot. The reason is that they will set up a trap for your brother-in-law Baian, and you, Young Master Yang, will avenge your brother-in-law, and the others will have nothing to say. "
"The second way is to get this guy named Zhang Jincheng. Song Lixing and the others are fine." Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin.
"I'd say he's not a life-or-death enemy. There's no need to quarrel with the Song family. After all, my brother is a rising star with an unlimited future, and the Song family is not easy to mess with."
"You're just looking at what's on your plate. Did I provoke Song Lixing? He always made trouble and jumped up and down in front of me, okay? This is a bit of a double standard on your part."
"The double standards are also your own fault." Bai Feng rolled his eyes, "If you marry a wife instead of Zhou Ya, just pick one of those families today, do you think there will be anyone when Song Lixing is looking for trouble? Speak for you?
Even if you don't mention this, don't act so aloof. Go to Big Boss Chen Weimin more often, attend more banquets and so on, and see if he speaks for you.
Not to mention this, just looking at your favors and connections alone, when Song Lixing jumped, if you directly expressed your intention to kill him, would those who are against you not take action?
You look aloof and don't care, so why should others compliment you? Why should I stick my hot face against your cold ass?
Moreover, you are so independent in what you do. You rely on yourself to be strong enough and do everything on your own. You go out at any time. Why should others cheer you up? "
“My property was all built with hard work. What’s wrong with me living alone without stealing or robbing?
I didn’t eat their rice. On the contrary, I started the entire industry, and they got a lot of advantage from behind. " said Yang Dongxu, who was obviously unconvinced.
"Don't talk about them. I am following you and can barely eat meat, but you are eating pots of meat in front of you. I want to stab you and kick you away.
It is true that you set up the market, but is this your credit alone? And do you know how annoying it is when you guard the big pot and eat meat at will, but don't let others take a bite? "Bai Feng glared at Yang Dongxu.
"Your resentment is not ordinary."
