I can see the commodity price curve

Little Piercing Goro tried to struggle to get up, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

He picked up the phone with trembling hands and tried to explain to those partners, but all he got in return was cold rejection and scolding.

At the same time, the sales of watermelons produced by Zhang Yue’s team in the Japanese market continued to rise.

Anko Hayata and her family have become loyal fans of watermelons. They not only buy them themselves, but also strongly recommend them to their relatives and friends.

Hayata Anko's husband even shared the delicious watermelon with his colleagues during the company's break, prompting everyone to follow suit and buy some.

Zhan Rongrong looked at the market feedback data and smiled from ear to ear: "Brother-in-law, look at this data, our watermelons are completely popular in Japan, and the little Piercing Goro is completely doomed now."

However, Zhang Yue did not look very happy: "Although Little Piercer Wulang was defeated by us.

But the mastermind behind this incident was not Goro the Impaler, but the Japanese Farmers' Association.

We have to be careful of the other side's counterattack."

Zhan Rongrong nodded: "You are right, but even if the other party really fights back, we don't have to worry, right?
How big a wave can an island nation create? "

Zhang Yue shook his head: "Don't underestimate the other party.

Although Japan has poor land, it is a standard agricultural power.

For example, their research and development on sorghum is very impressive.

We have to be careful.”

After hearing this, Zhan Rongrong's expression became serious: "Brother-in-law, after hearing what you said, I really can't take it lightly.

So what should we do next? "

Zhang Yue pondered for a moment and said slowly: "First of all, we must continue to ensure the quality and stable supply of watermelons, which is the foundation for us to gain a foothold in the Japanese market.

Secondly, we will increase our publicity efforts in Japan, not only to promote our watermelons, but also to publicize our entire team's pursuit of quality and sincerity to consumers, and to establish a good brand image.

Furthermore, we will arrange for someone to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese Farmers’ Association, collect relevant information, and make preparations in advance.”

Zhan Rongrong nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away.

But brother-in-law, should we take the initiative and teach them a lesson? "

Zhang Yue frowned slightly: "It's not impossible to take the initiative, but you have to find the right time and method.

At present, we do not have enough evidence to show that the Japanese Farmers Association will have any specific malicious actions, and rash actions may cause unnecessary trouble.

Let's take it slow and steady first, and wait for them to show their weakness."

While Zhang Yue's team was actively making plans, the Japanese Farmers' Association was also not idle.

The senior leaders of the farmers' association gathered in the conference room, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"The rise of Zhang Yue's team in the Japanese market has seriously threatened our interests.

We must take action and not let them continue to expand." A white-haired elder said gloomily.

"However, the failure of Piercing Goro has sounded the alarm for us. Their methods are not simple."

Another middle-aged man said worriedly.

The elder snorted coldly: "Little Piercer Goro is stupid and only knows how to use those despicable means.

We can’t just defend, we have to learn to counterattack.”

"Fight back, how do you fight back?"

"Aren't they dumping watermelons into our country? Let's do the same, dumping sorghum into them."

A lean member frowned and asked, "But the Chinese sorghum market has always been highly competitive. How can we guarantee a price advantage if we rashly dump it?

Moreover, transportation costs and tariffs are not small expenses. If you are not careful, you may lose all your money.”

The elder raised his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile: "I have naturally considered these issues.

We can work with the government to apply for agricultural export subsidies to reduce our costs.

At the same time, we cooperate with some large traders in China, utilize their channels and resources, reduce intermediate links and further reduce costs.

As long as the price of our sorghum is low enough and the quality is guaranteed, why worry about not being able to open up the market? "

After hearing this, everyone nodded and thought that this plan was feasible.

As a result, the Japanese Farmers' Association took quick action and actively communicated with the government to strive for subsidy policies.

On the other hand, personnel were sent to China to find suitable traders.

Zhang Yue's team soon noticed the unusual behavior of the Japanese Farmers' Association.

Zhan Rongrong hurried into Zhang Yue's office with a document about Japan's intention to export sorghum to China, her face full of worry:

"Brother-in-law, the Japanese Farmers' Association seems to be making a big move. They plan to dump sorghum into China."

Zhang Yue took the document and read it carefully. Instead of feeling unhappy, he was very excited.

He laughed and said, “Sorghum is a good thing!

It can be used to make wine, which is sweet, rich and fragrant, and priceless.”

Zhan Rongrong was stunned: "Making wine?"

Zhang Yue nodded: "That's right, isn't the other party going to dump it in China?
Now go contact Luo Tiejun and ask him to arrange for someone to purchase a large amount of sorghum."

Although Zhan Rongrong was a little confused, she immediately responded: “Okay, brother-in-law, I will contact Luo Tiejun right away.

However, if we purchase a large amount of sorghum, what if the market cannot absorb it? "

Zhang Yue waved his hands confidently, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

Our Chinese wine culture has a long history, and the demand for sorghum wine has always been great.

Moreover, the sorghum dumped by the Japanese Farmers Association is of guaranteed quality and low price, which is a good opportunity for us to expand the scale of brewing."

After hearing this, Zhan Rongrong's worries were relieved a little, and she hurried to contact Luo Tiejun.

Luo Tiejun was a little surprised when he received the news.

However, based on his trust in Zhang Yue, he quickly organized people to start purchasing large quantities of sorghum dumped by the Japanese Farmers' Association.

He did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately called together the core members of the team to urgently discuss the specific matters of purchasing sorghum in the conference room.

"The dumping of sorghum by the Japanese Farmers' Association is both a challenge and an opportunity for us.

We must seize this opportunity and do a good job in purchasing sorghum." Luo Tiejun said seriously.

The team members nodded one after another and then began to divide the work.

Some people are responsible for contacting Japanese distributors in China to understand the supply situation and price range of sorghum.

Another group of people began to research the domestic sorghum market and analyze the possible impact of purchasing Japanese sorghum on the market.

Soon, the member responsible for contacting dealers brought the news.

The Japanese dealers were arrogant and, relying on their large supply of sorghum, they were very determined to hold on to the price and showed no intention of giving in.

Luo Tiejun decided to personally negotiate with the Japanese distributors. In a spacious and bright conference room, Luo Tiejun and several Japanese distributors sat opposite each other.

The Japanese dealers all had disdainful smiles on their faces, and one of the short and fat dealers spoke first:
"Mr. Luo, the sorghum we brought this time is of high quality and the price is very reasonable. You don't have much room for bargaining."

Luo Tiejun smiled slightly and said slowly: "We naturally recognize the quality of your sorghum, but we also have our own considerations regarding the price.

The Chinese sorghum market is currently highly competitive. If the price is too high, it will be difficult for us to gain an advantage in the market after purchasing it.”

The short and fat dealer frowned and raised his voice: "Mr. Luo, you should know that we are dumping, and the price is already much lower than the market price.

If you don’t seize this opportunity, there will be no such good thing in the future.”

Luo Tiejun laughed secretly in his heart, but remained calm on the surface: "Dumping certainly has price advantages, but you also have to consider the possibility of long-term cooperation.

If the market responds well to this acquisition, we will definitely increase the acquisition volume in the future.

But if the price is not reasonable, we may have to give up this cooperation and look for other suppliers instead.”

After hearing this, the Japanese dealers looked at each other, obviously shaken.

At this time, a dealer with a mustache spoke up: "Mr. Luo, we can lower the price appropriately, but the reduction will not be too large.

After all, we also have to consider costs and profits.”

Luo Tiejun was secretly delighted, but on the surface he pretended to be embarrassed:

"We see your sincerity, but this reduction is still not enough.

We hope to reduce the current price by another 10% so that we can have enough profit margin to operate in the market.”

Japanese dealers shook their heads, saying they could not accept it.

Seeing this, Luo Tiejun stood up and said, "Since you insist so much, it seems that it will be difficult for us to reach a cooperation this time.

However, I still hope you can reconsider it. After all, this is a good opportunity for both parties."

After saying that, Luo Tiejun pretended to leave the meeting room.

Just as he reached the door, the short and fat dealer hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Luo, please stay! We can discuss it further."

Luo Tiejun was delighted, he knew that his strategy had worked.

He turned around, returned to his seat, and said, "Okay, let's talk about it again."

After some fierce bargaining, Japanese dealers finally agreed to reduce the existing price by 8%.

Although Luo Tiejun felt that he could still get a little more, considering that time was tight and the price was within an acceptable range, he nodded and agreed.

Subsequently, the two parties quickly signed the acquisition contract.

Luo Tiejun immediately arranged for team members to organize transport vehicles and go to the warehouse designated by the Japanese distributor to purchase sorghum.

During the purchasing process, Luo Tiejun personally went to the site to supervise to ensure that the quality of the sorghum met the requirements.

He carefully checked each bag of sorghum to see if there were any problems such as mold or insect infestation.

Once he discovered the problem, he immediately asked the Japanese dealer to replace it.

Although the Japanese dealers were somewhat dissatisfied, they had no choice but to do as they were told under the contract.

After several days and nights of intense work, Luo Tiejun's team finally completed the purchase of a large amount of sorghum.

Watching the trucks loaded with sorghum slowly leaving the warehouse, Luo Tiejun felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.

He knew that this acquisition would bring new development opportunities to Zhang Yue's team's winemaking business, but it would also deal a heavy blow to the dumping plans of the Japan Farmers' Association.

But Luo Tiejun didn't know that when the National Farmers' Association learned the news that day, they immediately gathered together excitedly.

The white-haired elder put his hands on the table, a cunning light flashing in his eyes, and spoke first:
"Zhang Yue and his gang were fooled. They bought a large amount of sorghum that we dumped, but they didn't know that it was all genetically modified sorghum."

The dealer with a mustache also echoed: “Yes, once they use these sorghums to make wine and consumers find out that it is made from genetically modified ingredients, it will be hard to believe.

By then, their brand image will have plummeted, and we will have the opportunity to regain the market."

The short and fat dealer laughed so hard that the fat on his face was shaking: "Haha, then not only will they lose all their money, but they will also become the laughing stock of the entire industry.

Our move is like cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron."

Another middle-aged man frowned and said with some concern:

“But will they find out that the sorghum is genetically modified when they purchase it?

After all, they also have certain requirements for quality.”

The elder waved his hand dismissively: “Don’t worry, our genetically modified sorghum is no different from ordinary sorghum in appearance and basic quality, so it’s not that easy for them to find it.

Moreover, even if they found out, the contract has already been signed, so they can only swallow this loss in silence."

After hearing this, everyone nodded, thinking that what the elder said made sense.

They seemed to have seen the beautiful scene of Zhang Yue's team getting into trouble and themselves regaining control of the Japanese agricultural products market.

On the Chinese side, after Luo Tiejun's team transported the purchased sorghum back to the warehouse, they immediately notified Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue was very happy to learn that the purchase was completed smoothly. He immediately arranged for personnel to test and sort the sorghum in preparation for wine production.

The inspectors tested various indicators of sorghum according to routine procedures and did not find any abnormalities at first.

However, when they conducted more in-depth genetic testing, they were surprised to find that there was indeed something wrong with the sorghum.

"Boss, boss, something terrible has happened." The assistant hurried to Zhang Yue's office.

Zhang Yue raised his head and saw the panicked look on the assistant's face. His heart tightened, but he still asked calmly:

"Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what's going on?"

The assistant panted and said quickly, "Boss, the sorghum we purchased has been genetically modified according to genetic testing."

Zhang Yue's brows were instantly furrowed, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He stood up, put his hands on the desk, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't make it public yet. Sort out the test report in detail. I want to know the specific situation.

At the same time, we arranged for reliable people to seal up the sorghum and strictly prohibited it from entering the brewing production line."

The assistant nodded quickly and left in a hurry.

Zhang Yue paced back and forth in the office, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

He knew that this move by the Japanese Farmers' Association was extremely insidious. If handled improperly, not only would the brewing business suffer a severe blow, but the entire team's reputation in the Japanese market would also be ruined.

Soon, the assistant delivered the sorted test report to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue read the report carefully, and his brows furrowed more and more as he read.

The report shows that although these genetically modified sorghums look the same as ordinary sorghums, changes at the genetic level may have potential impacts on the quality and safety of wine.

Zhang Yue immediately called together the core members of the team to discuss countermeasures urgently in the conference room.

Zhan Rongrong, Luo Tiejun and others rushed over, and seeing Zhang Yue's serious expression, they all realized the seriousness of the matter. (End of this chapter)
