Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Chapter 1176 Strange Transaction
Because what the Mawang Town Grain Depot does is relatively authentic, which is that it also ensures that some retail investors can sell grain to the grain depot.

This is also the reason why no one has caused trouble over the years. Although several rural cooperatives have been jumping up and down, looking for people to complain everywhere, no one has cared about it, whether it is the Grain Bureau or the relevant departments in Mawang Town.

So from the current investigation results, under the operation of Wang Dahai, the Mawang Town Grain Depot gave a total of 300 million tons of annual grain price increase indicators to these three commercial grain companies.

These three commercial grain companies purchase grain from the Mawang Town grain depot at prices higher than the market price when they purchase old grain in July and August every year.

In fact, Lu Chuan has a general understanding of it, and this is considered basic operation.

If a grain depot wants to survive and make a profit, it will inevitably find some means to operate from this aspect. Cultivating some grain companies that they are familiar with and can cooperate with for a long time is a common practice for many grain depots.

Lu Chuan also learned about the operating conditions of other grain depots in Haizhou City through other people, and found that they were basically the same.

But why is the profit made by the Mawang Town granary so huge?

Of course, on the one hand, the Mawang Town Grain Depot has the highest annual policy grain purchase target, up to 350 million tons, and the price is relatively higher. Therefore, each time the three commodity chain companies purchase grain, the price is slightly higher and the quantity is also larger. A total of 300 million tons of grain must be shipped out.

If more grain is sold for the same price difference, then naturally the profit will be greater.

But there is another problem here.

These are some other situations that Wang Zhaokai and his team investigated and also obtained from other grain cooperatives.

Although there are many local grain cooperatives in Mawen Town and they are quite large in scale, in fact, the land cultivated by these grain cooperatives accounts for less than 10% of the land in Mawang Town.

The vast majority of people who grow crops in Mawang Town are ordinary people or farmers.

That is to say, every autumn when it comes to selling grain, most of the grain is still sold by individual farmers, but only a very small number of these farmers can sell the grain to the Mawen Town Grain Depot at a higher price.

Because the entire Mawang Town grain depot has an annual policy target of 350 million tons, of which 300 million tons are given to the three grain companies and only 50 tons are for ordinary people.

Wang Zhaokai continued to report.

"We roughly understood the situation. There has never been any secret operation in the 50-ton grain quota grain depot. No matter who asked for help, it was useless. Wang Dahai never asked anyone for help."

Since the quota of 50 tons is not small, many local people in grain cooperatives and even some large grain sellers want to use various relationships, such as relationships in the town, county, or even the city's grain bureau, to get some quotas and sell their grain at a higher price.

However, judging from the current investigation results, no matter who gave the order, the sea has never relaxed the target of 50 tons of grain.

"Everyone comes to the grain depot to line up during the grain sales period. Whoever is in the front of the line gets to sell. After the 50 tons quota is used up, the purchase ends."

Wang Zhaokai's investigation materials contain many photos that prove the busy scene outside the Mawang Town grain depot during the autumn harvest every year. Starting from the entrance of the Mawang Town grain depot, the queue can stretch three to five miles, and sometimes even ten miles.

To be honest, this Wang Dahai is quite something.

Although most of the 350 million tons of grain were handed over by him to the three major grain companies, only 50 tons were left.

However, because of this 50-ton grain quota, Wang Dahai never did anything fishy, ​​so everything was done according to the queue, which was very fair. Whoever queued up first could buy the quota first, and then it would be over after the quota was completed.

This is also the reason why ordinary farmers never make things difficult for the people at the grain depot. After all, they follow the rules and when collecting grain, everyone lines up. Whoever collects grain earlier and lines up earlier will naturally be in the front.

But there is another problem. These 50 tons of grain are only a very small part of the total production. Most farmers have no way to sell their grain, so they can only sell it to commercial grain companies or sell it in other places.

Of course, it is not realistic to buy food from other places.

After all, the purchase price of commercial grain and policy grain is actually not very different. Sometimes it is only one or two cents, and at most it will not exceed one dime.

But if the grain is transported over long distances, the freight alone may be at least three cents or five cents.

So sometimes, even if the grain purchase price outside is slightly higher than that in Mawang Town, farmers will still choose to sell grain locally in Mawang Town.

The main reason is that the transportation of food is rather troublesome.

If you want to sell grain, you have to harvest more. If the quantity is large, the selling price will naturally be higher, but the consumption during the transportation process will also be higher.

After all, even if you add a dime or even a dollar to the price of a dozen or twenty kilograms of grain, it is only a dozen or twenty yuan. That's only half a kilogram of grain. It's only possible to make enough profit from a price difference of only one or two cents for hundreds of thousands of kilograms or even hundreds of tons.

All of this information seemed to be relatively complete and there were no problems, but one thing among them caught Lu Chuan's attention. It was because of this matter that Wang Zhaokai reported to him specifically.

Wang Zhaokai's people discovered something strange during their visit and investigation: the three commercial grain companies that cooperated with the Mawang Town Grain Depot never collected grain from the people at any time.

"We checked the three commodity companies in Mawang Town. Although they have a base here, no one comes to collect grain during the autumn harvest. They only have people working here during the three to five days of cooperation in Hemawang Town. The rest of the time, the gates are basically closed, with only one or two people left to guard."

The strange thing is that these three commercial grain companies have already obtained the policy grain purchasing quota of hundreds of tons from the Mawang Town Grain Depot.

So if they want to make money, they have to purchase grain from local farmers at a relatively low price, and then sell it to grain depots. In this way, they can earn the difference between commercial grain and policy grain.

In fact, these three granaries do sell a large amount of grain to the Mawang Town Grain Depot during the autumn harvest every year. However, they do not purchase grain from local farmers. So where do these 300 tons of grain come from?
