Chapter 1177 Multi-Party Action
Wang Zhaokai's eyes were shining.

"During the investigation, we learned about this situation and started to investigate and verify it. We indeed found that these three commercial grain companies never collected a single grain from farmers during the autumn harvest, but they sold millions of tons of grain to the Mawang Town Grain Depot."

Was it bought from another place?

Of course not. If they buy grain from other places, there are two aspects that will cause these three companies to make no profit at all.

The first is some of the food in the surrounding areas. The price is actually slightly higher than that in Mawang Town. Although it is not particularly outrageous, there is still a difference of one or two cents.

In fact, the price higher than this is equivalent to the transportation cost of transporting a large amount of grain.

That is to say, if grain is purchased from other places, the transportation costs will cause the costs of the three commercial grain companies to rise sharply.

Not to mention that the food outside is slightly more expensive than that in Mawang Town, so the local food is not collected and the freight is spent on buying food outside. Aren’t these three commodity companies sick?
Since there was no way to buy grain from outside, where did they get the 300 million tons of grain to sell to the Mawang Town granary?

Wang Zhaokai and Lu Chuan looked at each other. There was only one possibility.

These three commercial grain companies are actually playing the game of replacing the prince with a cat.

They purchased old grain from the Mawang Town granary in the summer, but the old grain was not actually shipped out.

Instead, one or two months later, after the autumn harvest, when the Mawang Town Grain Depot began to collect policy grain, they turned around and sold the purchased old grain to the Mawang Town Grain Depot in the name of new grain.

You should know that the price of old grain is generally about 10% lower than that of new grain.

Although these three commercial grain companies purchased the old grain of the two countries in Mawang Town at a relatively high market price, they turned around and sold the new grain back to the Mawang Town grain depot at a 10% higher price.

This is the only way to explain why the other party did not purchase grain, but there were still 300 million tons of grain that could be sold to the grain depot, and this might be the reason why the other party purchased old grain at a price higher than the market price in the summer.

One or two months is definitely enough for them to earn a 10% profit, which is absolutely terrifying, because 300 million tons of grain, based on a 10% profit, would be million!

"check!"

Lu Chuan put down the relevant materials.

If the three commodity companies are not mentally ill, and if they are not seeking to lose money, they will definitely adopt this approach, as only this approach can enable them to reap huge profits.

In fact, it is quite simple to open up the connection. All Wang Dahai needs to do is to let the granary loose. When they check the grain, they may not even realize that it is old grain.

Moreover, the moisture content of stored old grains is very low and they are all dried, so the price may be even higher.

For example, the purchase price of corn will vary greatly depending on its moisture content.

If the moisture content of the same corn is below 14, that is, the moisture content is below 14%, then the price may reach one yuan per catty.

However, if the moisture content of the corn is above 30%, the price will drop sharply, and may only be sold for 7 cents. The moisture content of stored and dried grain is very low. If the other party does not carefully check whether it is new grain or old grain during the experiment, it will be sold as a bride. Because the moisture content is low, the price will definitely be very high.

However, these three commercial grain companies do not consider the moisture content when purchasing old grain and all purchase it at a unified price.

Of course, if one wants to fake this, there are actually many loopholes.

In other words, although Wang Dahai is dead now, because storing grain requires a large amount of land and the grain inspection process also requires people to operate, there must be some clues left behind.

Of course, we cannot arrest the legal persons of these three commercial grain companies now, so as not to alert the enemy. Without any evidence, it would be useless to arrest them directly.

Another point is that if they resell this kind of grain, there will be no new seedlings stored. In that case, if we just go to my mother's grain warehouse and check how many years these grains have been stored, wouldn't the problem be solved?

All the inspections from the Grain Bureau over the years have been about checking accounts or auditing, and the only things they have looked into regarding grain storage are the management methods and whether the inventory has decreased.

That is to say, whether there is any illegal reselling of grain or not, as long as the grain is still there, there will definitely not be much supervision over it.

However, it is impossible for all the grain to be exchanged for new ones within a certain period of time given the situation of these warehouses going back and forth. In other words, if the other party does this, they will definitely leave solid evidence at the grain warehouse.

As long as we find this evidence, then everything else will be easy.

Lu Chuan wanted to understand the key work direction behind. After that, he immediately made a record and started the relevant investigation and evidence collection.

First of all, regarding the place where the three commercial grain companies store grain, it is impossible for 300 million tons of grain to be stored directly in the house, so they must have an outdoor yard.

Moreover, if the other party wants to reap huge profits, the area of ​​the yard cannot be small, and the distance from Mawang Town cannot be too far, otherwise it will reduce their profits and lead to higher freight rates.

After a quick investigation, the people sent by Wang Chaokai found the three goods and the outdoor storage yards of the two companies.

Sure enough, these storage yards are not far from Mawang Town, just in the next few villages. The three companies have rented a large number of storage yards in different villages, that is, outdoor venues, and there are also large-scale grain loading and unloading machinery.

According to the villagers, these three companies would transport large amounts of grain every summer and unload it here, and then take all the grain away after a month or two.

Of course, these people don’t know exactly where they come from or where they go, they just collect rent.

There are many such large plots of land that have been rented out in the villages around Mawang Town.

Because there are many grain processing enterprises in Mawang Town. Some of these grain processing enterprises transport grain from other places, and some purchase grain from local areas. Therefore, grain processing must require a large amount of grain storage.

So this situation is actually not uncommon, but the behavior of these three commercial grain companies is a little strange than some other merchants. They bring the grain in July and August every year, and then take the grain away in September and October.
