Chapter 165 The strongest has its own strong hand
Seeing that He Yuzhu couldn't explain it, everyone was a little disappointed.
But I didn't dare to ask any more questions.
They didn't want to be like Liu Haizhong some time ago, who said something wrong and was criticized by He Yuzhu as having no brains.
It would be so embarrassing then.
He Yuzhu went home to sleep, and others went to work or to clean up the garbage.
However, after Yan Bugui and the others left, they were still discussing what happened in the past two nights.
The tone of his words was quite firm.
As the news continued to spread,
The major warehouses in Beiping were quickly filled up.
The surplus supplies were then transported by He Yuzhu and his team to various state-owned stores for storage.
At this point, the news could no longer be concealed. The people of Beiping all knew that the State Council had already transported a large amount of grain into the city.
He Yuzhu and his team no longer need to carry out missions at night.
This evening,
He Yuzhu and Ye Dapeng drove the truck to a state-owned store outside Zhengyangmen.
While helping to unload the goods, he chatted with the store owner.
As he was talking, Ye Dapeng looked at the small blackboard at the door with the grain prices written on it and said,
"Manager Li, we have brought a lot of supplies to you today. The warehouse is already full.
But I see the price on your blackboard is much higher than yesterday.
Why don’t you lower the price or increase the supply of food?”
Hearing this, Li Wenjing smiled bitterly and said,
"We know that food prices are very high now, so high that the RMB is depreciating rapidly, and the people are suffering.
We also want to lower prices and open up supply to help the people.
But we can't do anything.
During this period, those speculators were still buying up all kinds of materials.
The leaders of the Central Finance and Economics Committee did not allow us to do this, saying that doing so now would not only fail to stabilize prices, but would also give those speculative businessmen a free advantage.
Although I don't quite understand,
But since the leaders above have said so, we naturally have to follow their orders."
I heard from Li Wenjing that those speculators are still buying up all kinds of materials.
Ye Dapeng was also a little confused.
"Boss Li, I just don't understand. We ordinary people are so poor that we can't even get enough to eat, but how come those merchants are so rich that they can even consume all the food and cloth in Peking!"
As soon as he asked, he saw Li Wenjing sigh, also looking a little confused.
He Yuzhu, who was standing next to him, took off the sack from his shoulder and said with a smile,
"What's so unclear about this?
Let's not talk about the big cities of Songhu, East Guangdong, and Jinling.
If the speculators in Peking were united, they would have a lot of money at their disposal.
If I borrow money from a foreign bank again,
It is no problem to consume all the supplies in the city in a short period of time and create panic.
Let's take a look at the changes in food prices in the city during this period.
It is obvious that they will wait for the grain price to rise, release some materials to suppress the grain price, and then take advantage of the low price to buy in large quantities and continue to raise the grain price.
So again and again.
So if we lower the price and sell a lot of food now, we are helping those speculators."
Seeing that He Yuzhu seemed to understand the twists and turns here, Ye Dapeng couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at him in shock.
"It's not a pillar, it's okay if you learn things quickly,
It only took you so long to figure it out!"
Not only Ye Dapeng,
Even Li Wenjing and his men looked at He Yuzhu in surprise.
"Comrade Xiao He, if you say so, then we can only let those speculators continue to raise the price of grain and make money from the difference, right?"
This is the simplest way to buy low and sell high.
In the later era of highly developed information, it is easy to understand things.
But in this era of slow information transmission, these simplest things may be someone else's family inheritance and the foundation of their livelihood.
Not to mention Ye Dapeng, a student-born car soldier.
It is normal that shop owners under the Military Control Commission, such as Li Wenjing, do not know.
Seeing that they all wanted to know, He Yuzhu started talking.
"how come!
The reason why those speculators are still buying up stocks is that
They just want to control the entire food market and reap huge profits. How could they do it just to earn that little price difference?
In the end, that little difference was not even enough to pay the interest to the foreign banks.
They won’t make wedding clothes for others.”
He Yuzhu had just said this when Li Wenjing asked, still somewhat puzzled,
"But now the people of the city know that the State Council has brought in a lot of food. How dare they eat so much?
Not afraid of dying! "
"Does Manager Li know how much grain the Government Affairs Council has stored in Beiping?"
Seeing that Li Wenjing was a little stuck, He Yuzhu smiled and continued,
"Not only you, Manager Li, don't know, even those of us who participated in the specific mission don't know, not to mention the ordinary people in the city.
As for those speculators, they want to know,
But this is a top secret among top secrets.
I'm afraid only the director of the Central Finance and Economics Committee knows the exact number.
So those speculators are now gambling, betting that the money they have can eat up the grain reserves of the State Council, or betting that the State Council has no grain at all.
After all, no one can tell what news is true or false.
If they stop now, not to mention whether the people of Beijing who think that the State Council has grain will buy into it,
The Executive Yuan will not let them do what they want."
After He Yuzhu finished speaking, Ye Dapeng said sarcastically with a smile on his face,
"I don't know if those speculators are crazy or not. They actually dared to touch the tiger whiskers of the Executive Yuan. They must be dumbfounded now!"
Hearing his ridicule, He Yuzhu thought for a moment and then said,
"Brother Dapeng, this is where you get it wrong.
They had already done this once during the reform of the gold yuan last year.
And you have seen the result,
The Jinling Executive Yuan was unable to resist, the gold yuan coupons plummeted, and even the bald man became the island master.
Not to mention that before this, those speculators had done this countless times, and each time they achieved huge success and made a lot of money.
Now facing the State Council, they naturally want to do the same.
Otherwise, he would not have shouted such arrogant words as "As long as we control the two whites (food and cloth) and one black (coal), we can put Beijing to death."
Because they have really done it, it is normal for them to have such confidence.”
When He Yuzhu talked about the glorious achievements of those speculators, not only Zhang Jiutong, who had just been full of sarcasm, but even Li Wenjing's face changed.
"Xiao He, don't scare me.
Are they really that awesome?
So how much money do they have? How much grain did the Central Finance and Economics Committee mobilize this time? Can the State Council defeat them?
If it doesn’t work, that would be bad.”
Seeing Li Wenjing's face change, He Yuzhu thought to himself that they had succeeded before because their opponents were too weak.
And they will never realize that the opponent they are considering this time is the most powerful team in the history of Blue Star.
Don't say it's them.
Even those giant foreign companies will suffer heavy losses this time.
