silent farm

Chapter 191 An Unpredictable Move
Going to the study, Li Sheng opened his e-mail and found the e-mail from Zhang Dingbian, and downloaded more than a dozen files.

After opening and reading them one by one, he closed his eyes and calculated in his head.Mourning and the others collected Cargill's sixteen large warehouses in Brazil.These warehouses are mainly used to store the purchased soybeans.There are also fertilizers for soybean seeds.

He simply calculated that those warehouses stored about 600 million tons of soybeans, 12 tons of soybean seeds and more than 140 million tons of chemical fertilizers.

After a long time, he stood up and walked to the map of Brazil hanging on the wall. He frowned and looked at it for a while before returning to the chair and sitting down.

The expression on his face changed, and he seemed to be fighting in his heart.He just sat there motionless until Tia came up to say good night to him, and then he returned to his normal look.However, after Tia returned to the room, he sat on the chair in a daze again.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the morning that he finally made a decision, took out his phone and dialed an international number.

In Huaxia, Chen Bo was in the office and explaining the work of the employees. He frowned and got connected immediately, and waved a few employees to go out first.He asked on the phone: "What happened?" He was always aware of the time difference between the two places.It's past three o'clock in the afternoon here. If the calculation is correct, it should be past four o'clock in the morning in Brazil.Li Sheng never called him at this time.

He heard Li Sheng say on the phone: "It's nothing serious. I just want to get a loan. You have acquaintances at that bank."

Chen Bo immediately said: "Let's talk about what happened first!" It is normal to do business loans, but Li Sheng is an exception.He probably knew that Li Sheng was not short of money right now, and it was impossible for him to ask for a loan if he had nothing to do.

"I want to speculate in soybean futures. I'm going to use Silent Farm as a mortgage. Say hello to me. I want to borrow as much as possible."

"You're crazy!" If others don't know the current value of Silent Farm, Chen Bo does.Even the current market value of Silent Farm is worth at least 30 billion U.S. dollars.If the forage business is really launched, the value will be more than ten times higher.And now Li Sheng is mortgaging the farm to speculate in futures.

"Not crazy." Li Sheng on the other end of the phone seemed to have a smile in his voice. "Do me a favor. I'm not very sure about other national banks."

Chen Bo calmed down for a while before asking, "Why do you suddenly want to fry soybeans?"

"If I say, I can make soybean futures rise. Do you believe it?" Li Sheng on the other end of the phone said with a smile. "Don't worry, I've thought clearly. I won't make fun of the farm."

Chen Bo knew how much Li Sheng cared about the farm, and he really wouldn't make fun of the farm.He was just worried that Li Sheng would be hotheaded.Hearing what Li Sheng said, he knew that Li Sheng must have some plan in mind.Li Sheng didn't say anything, and it was inconvenient for him to continue asking, so he could only say, "How much do you need?"

"The more the better!"

Chen Bo pondered for a while and said, "Wait for my news."

After the two hung up the phone, Chen Bo estimated in his heart how much loan he could get for Li Sheng.If Li Sheng wants to invest in entities, it is not difficult to get a loan.But Li Sheng wants to borrow money to speculate in futures, which is more difficult.The risk of speculating in futures is too great, and banks will not accept this reason for lending.So even if Li Sheng used the Quiet Farm as a mortgage, the bank might only lend about half of the estimated value in the end.

But he was not very capable in this area, so he called Luo Zheng.

When Luo Zheng heard that Li Sheng wanted a loan, he thought for a while and said, "Let me ask first. But I think it's best to find several banks for a joint loan. Several banks cooperate, and their risk is lower."

"Okay, waiting for your news."

Chen Bo was still waiting for news from Luo Zheng, when an employee knocked on the door suddenly and came in, reporting, "Mr. Chen, something has happened. The United States, Jipan and Bangzi have all announced the ban on the import of caviar, beef and beef products from Silent Farm. Beef contains toxins. Now some people openly question the quality and safety of our products on the scarf. It is said that the beef from the silent farm we represent may contain highly toxic substances."

Chen Bo was taken aback for a moment, thinking about what happened at Silent Farm recently, he knew it was aimed at Li Sheng.As far as he knows, the United States does not import much beef from Silent Farm, that is, Li Sheng directly sells some to the chain restaurant Mo Jingran owns shares in.But that quantity is also very small, no more than two hundred tons per month.Mo Jingran wanted snails and caviar more.But imports are also very small.There are more imported beef and caviar in the chicken plate.But Bazique imports almost nothing from Silent Farm.

After Silent Farm has clarified that even Brazil has not imposed restrictions on the sale of Silent Farm products, the three countries have issued such import bans.That was clearly intended to attack Silent Farm.

"I see, you go out first." Chen Bo asked the employees to leave first, and then he checked the scarves that the employees said questioned the safety and quality of Silent Farm's products on the Internet, and found that they were all big V scarves with a large number of white-collar fans.He read a few blog posts.

After thinking for a while, he called Luo Zheng again.

Luo Zheng heard that someone in the country wanted to ruin his way of making a fortune: "This matter can't be forgotten."

"Something might have happened on Li Sheng's side. We have to hold on here." Chen Bo said as he thought about it quickly. "Freedom of speech now, we can't do anything about it. I'll let people test the samples later. After the results come out, I plan to hold a press conference. You find two leaders who can hold the scene to speak."

"Well. They will definitely find the media. Let me handle the media. I know a lot of people in this area." Luo Zheng thought for a while and said. "I can't make it clear on the phone. I'll go to your place right away."

Chen Bo put down the phone, still thinking about how to solve the product's credit crisis.

Don't look at just a few people questioning the same product.In fact, many people know that such methods may be fake, but if these people are experts or the like, this name can make consumers have a kind of psychology that they would rather believe in what they have. There will be a pimple in the heart of the product.

Consumers have a strong habit of consumption. For example, if they are used to a certain brand of toothpaste, they will give priority to this brand immediately in the future.If a consumer has a pimple on a brand of product, it is likely to develop a consumption habit of another brand.

Of course, Chen Bo didn't want to suffer losses because of a few blog posts in a market that had been opened up with great difficulty.He immediately called the company's employees and asked their silent farm products to be sent to authoritative organizations for testing.

After finishing the work here, he called Li Sheng again to explain what happened in Huaxia.

Li Sheng heard that there were people playing tricks on Huaxia, so he wasn't too surprised.He smiled and said, "I knew they had other tricks."

He also saw the opponent's entire plan clearly.The first is poisoning, and then the image of the product is slandered.If it wasn't for Feng Xiaoting's presence, if it took a few more days, the Brazilian side might have punished Silent Farm.At that time, the whole world will reject the products of Silent Farm.At that point, even if it is clarified, the impact has already been caused.

Now because the farm in Brazil has responded quickly, it is impossible for Brazil to impose any penalties. There is no reason for Europe to ban the products of Silent Farm.The United States, a country that basically does not import silent farms, took the lead in issuing a ban.The purpose is probably to influence the decisions of other countries.

This effect cannot be said to be absent, but it is not the worst.

There are celebrities in China who have been bought, and there must be some in Europe.But Li Sheng didn't want to care about these things for the time being.What Chen Bo can think of, he believes Fernando will not think of.If Fernando doesn't want to take action to solve it.There's nothing he can do to pay attention.

In less than a day, Chen Bo and Fernando held press conferences in China and Europe.An authoritative quarantine and quality inspection report was presented, confirming that the products of Silent Farm have no quality and safety problems.And promised to strengthen the testing of Silent Farm products in the future.And Li Sheng also took over the A350-1000 private jet on this day.

In the next few days, Li Sheng took Mo Ning and Bai Qin to leave the farm early every day by plane, and would not return until late at night.No one on the farm knew where Li Sheng was going.Only Mourning found out that the places Li Sheng went these days were all near the Cargill warehouse with relatively large storage volume in the information he submitted to Li Sheng.But he didn't understand what Li Sheng was doing in those places.

Every day when they arrived at the place, they drove the car to stop near those warehouses.Li Sheng closed his eyes and rested in the car.They go to two or three places a day.This is true everywhere.

A few days later, because of the poisoning incident, the whole world's doubts about the quality and safety of Silent Farm's products gradually dissipated.And Li Sheng received several guests who came from China.They are representatives of several large domestic banks.

They discussed for a day, and finally signed several agreements under the witness of lawyers.

After that, Li Sheng left the farm again, this time for several days in a row.When he returned to the farm again, Tia found that he seemed very tired, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes.

After returning to the farm, Li Sheng comforted the worried Tia, and began to stay in the study again.

He first opened several accounts in exchanges in Chicago, London, and Frankfurt.He checked his accounts and found that a billion dollar loan had been credited.

He told Chen Bo that the loan was for speculating in soybean futures, and he really planned to do that.

Because of the emergence of the wheat X virus last year, some countries have reduced wheat planting and increased soybean planting area, such as the United States and Argentina, coupled with a bumper soybean harvest, resulting in a sharp rise in other food prices due to the reduction in wheat production, while soybean prices have been rising. slide.All parties predict that the total soybean planting area in the world will increase by about 5% next year.Next year's soybean production is also expected to grow between 5% and 7%.It can be said that the price of soybeans will continue to decline next year.

But Li Sheng is betting that soybean prices will rise.
