I can see the commodity price curve

Chapter 76

Zhang Yue's expression did not change: "Of course I know this.

Yes, that plausible paper is indeed difficult to cause a sensation in the medical field.

Not to mention affecting the price of star anise.

But since you have worked in the Food Regulatory Commission for so many years, you should know better.

It has never been the scientific achievements themselves that have the ability to affect commodity prices, but the commercial promoters behind the scenes. "

Zhou Xueding's eyes lit up: "Really, can you tell me in detail?"

"It's very simple, if I am the largest octagonal merchant in the country, I have a lot of goods in my hand.

On the premise of knowing that the anise will fall today, in order to recover the loss as much as possible, I will definitely think of various methods.

I was at a loss for what to do until I saw this paper.

So I started to use a lot of money to buy out all the star anise in the central cities of the provinces.

Put it in a short out of stock condition.

Then, with the help of the Internet, I spend money to buy those anchors with millions of fans.

Let them hype up that anise aminophenols paper.

Today's media is not as good as before, and everyone's attention has shifted from TV to mobile phones.

In addition, that thesis is genuine, no one cares what the anchor says.

Moreover, star anise is different from staple foods such as wheat and rice that have price protection. Even if there are large fluctuations in a short period of time, it will not affect people's livelihood.

For all the above reasons, as long as the operation is done properly, the success rate is quite high. "

Zhou Xueding looked at Zhang Yue differently now.

He has been investigating the matter since the anise price fluctuated abnormally.

It took so much time to get a clue.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue guessed all kinds of things without leaving home.

Of course, there are still many discrepancies in some details.

But it is precisely because of these discrepancies that Zhang Yue's judgment can be further proved.

"Let me ask you another question, where in the country do you think the person who did this should be?"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Yungui area!"

"Tell me your reason?"

"It's very simple, the origin of star anise is in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Especially on the mountainside, where is the heart of this seasoning.

Although the planting area in Yu Province has been quite large in recent years, most of them are grown in greenhouses as cash crops.

If it weren't for agronomists to breed new varieties that can still produce high yields in the north, and the labor cost of picking in the mountains is too high, it would be impossible for Yu Province to see this thing.

Therefore, if you want to have a large supply of goods, you can only go to Yunnan and Guizhou. "

Zhou Xueding sighed: "It seems that I am really old, and I am not as good as you young people in all aspects.

That's right, the price increase of star anise this time was indeed initiated by Yunnan and Guizhou.

But there is one thing you guessed wrong.

It is not the octagonal merchants who wantonly drive up prices, but those speculators. "

"Specialists?"

"Yes, there are such a group of people who specialize in buying and selling physical goods.

When garlic is cheap, they hoard garlic in large quantities, and sell it at a high price after the price is fried.

In addition, there are a series of items such as soybeans, ginger, and sugar. "

Zhang Yue immediately nodded and said: "Forget (garlic) you are ruthless, tease (bean) you play, general (jiang) your army, Tang (sugar) Gaozong, go forward (green onion)!

I understand! "

After speaking, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

I follow the trend of buying and selling during this period of time, does it count as helping the evildoers?
After all, there are still two cars in his current warehouse. "

But Zhang Yue soon felt relieved.

After all, it is a market economy now, as long as you don't look for death to engage in staple foods such as wheat and rice, or drive up prices during times of catastrophe.

Others are at least allowed at the legal level, not to mention that I am just making a small fuss to get a car or two.

The little money I earn is often not enough to file taxes.

Sure enough, Zhou Xueding didn't intend to hold Zhang Yue accountable, he said:

"The group of people raised the price of anise and began to sell a lot, among which 85.1% were sold at the peak of 12 yuan.

When the price fell back to 50 yuan, it sold another 24%.

The remaining 64% were all sold at 20 yuan.

As soon as they were out of stock, the price of the star anise returned to around 10 yuan again.

Poor farmers who grow star anise, hope every day that the products in their hands can return to their peak.

result……"

Zhou Xueding's tone was a bit sad, but Zhang Yue was surprised when he heard it:
"What are you talking about? They have gone to great lengths to drive up the price of the star anise.

As a result, the highest point was only 12%?

This manipulator is too watery! "

Zhou Xueding looked at Zhang Yue helplessly: "If it wasn't for you selling at the highest point, those who received the news would mistakenly think that there were other speculators secretly planning, and they would sell like crazy just in case.

This group of people can at least pay 30% at the highest point.

Even so, even at the lowest price of 20 yuan, they have doubled the profit. "

Zhang Yue blinked and blinked: "So I have made meritorious service?"

"It's a small feat!"

Zhang Yue chuckled. In fact, after he said it, he knew that what he said was a little ignorant.

Those speculators would do this, and the value of the star anise hoarded in their hands was at least hundreds of millions.

Even with the help of Kuaijiu to help spread a large amount of news, it is difficult to quickly spread it out in a short period of time.

This can be seen from the fact that it took them nearly two months to deliver the goods when they were at 20 yuan.

Zhou Xueding said: "I have already made things very clear.

The price of star anise has completely fallen to the bottom, and it is basically impossible to recover in a short time.

I came to you this time mainly to talk to you about garlic. "

"Garlic?" Zhang Yue's heart skipped a beat.

If nothing else, the price of garlic will rise rapidly tonight, eventually reaching 5.9 yuan/kg.

And Zhang Yue's purchase price is 2.4 yuan/kg, nearly 1.5 times the profit.

When he was free, he loaded two cars worth about 3 yuan.

Even if it is all thrown at the highest point, it will be less than 5 yuan.

Could it be that Zhou Xueding is idle and just thinking about his own profit?
Should not be!

Zhang Yue obviously thought too much, Zhou Xueding didn't know about his little tricks at all.

The other party said: "According to my investigation, those people who fried star anise to get rich have tasted the sweetness, and now they have started to arrange garlic.

This group of people is characterized by large funds, fast speed, and short time.

If I don't expect, the price of garlic will be temporarily raised soon, and then the price will be sucked up.

For a month at most, the price of garlic will be pulled to the limit.

Although it will not be as exaggerated as star anise, I am afraid that many people will not be able to afford garlic by then.

Since you are smarter than me, I want to hear your opinion. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue suddenly yelled:
"Fuck!"

Zhou Xueding instantly looked at him with black lines all over his face, I just asked you to give me an idea.

It's fine if you can't think of it, why scold me for no reason?
But at this moment, Zhang Yue's attention was no longer on Zhou Xueding.

After listening to the other party's words, Zhang Yue looked at the commodity price curve of garlic again.

I didn't know the result, I was startled when I saw it.

Because after 23 days, the price of garlic started to rise again from the bottom.

The increase this time was not as large as expected, but it was extremely stable.

By the 30th day, it had risen to 11.4 yuan/kg.

Moreover, not only did the growth rate not decrease, but it got higher and higher!
