Chapter 248 Stir-fry

"In China, you will find that many things cannot be analyzed and explained by Marx's economic theory. Do you know that there have been no drought or natural disasters in Shandong, Hebei and Sichuan during this period?" Han Feng said slowly.

"Ouch! Now we are talking about garlic. What's the matter with Shandong, Hebei and Sichuan? Xu Lili said anxiously.

"Do you mean that the main production areas of garlic are Shandong, Hebei and Sichuan?" Xu Mei looked at Han Feng and asked.

"That's right." Han Feng gave Xu Mei a smile, "The main production areas of garlic in China are Shandong, Hebei and Sichuan. If we analyze according to Marx's relationship between supply and demand, the price of garlic will rise, that is, the supply exceeds the demand. Then it must be that the output of garlic has declined now and cannot meet the demand of the market, so the price is natural. It will rise."

"However, it is obvious that garlic production in Shandong, Hebei and Sichuan has not decreased, and the output is still the same as in previous years. Therefore, it is not reasonable to analyze the relationship between supply and demand.

"You just said that someone was playing tricks behind your back. Who is it?" Xu Lili asked with great interest.

"I don't know who it is, but the person behind the scenes must be a rich man, and he must have a lot of idle funds in his hand. They use this idle money to fry garlic.

"Idle funds to stir-fry garlic? Then how do they fry it?" Xu Lili asked puzzledly.

Han Feng explained with a smile, "First of all, they first used money to buy garlic from several major producing areas in the country at a low price, and then hoard it."

"Secondly, they waited until the garlic supply on the market decreased, attracted the attention of the market, and then began their plan to fry garlic."

"How to stir-fry?"

"This term is called 'to-knock' in the stock market."

"Knock? What do you mean?" Xu Lili was impatient. After listening to Han Feng's words, she unconsciously asked.

"Let's take a simple example." Han Feng pointed to himself and said, "For example, I am the behind-the-scenes boss who hyped the price of garlic. Now more than 80% of the garlic in the country is in hand, and now I want to raise the price of garlic.

Han Feng pointed to Xu Lili and said, "And you, you are a powerful wholesaler. I found you, asked you to cooperate with me, and then sold the garlic to you for 6 yuan, and then you sold the garlic to the secondary wholesalers you were looking for, and the secondary wholesalers found it. The third-level wholesaler, and then also 'sell' garlic to the third-level wholesaler for 11 yuan.

"Isn't this acting? What can this do?" Xu Lili said with a sneer.

"They are building momentum to increase the price of garlic." After listening carefully to Han Feng's words, Xu Mei lowered her head and analyzed for a while, and then said.

"That's right!" Han Feng stretched out his thumb and pointed to Xu Mei, "They are building momentum. They want to let the outside world know that the wholesale price of garlic has risen, the supply of garlic is in short supply, and the increase in the price of garlic is reasonable."

"And then?" Xu Lili asked in surprise.

"When they finish knocking, it's time for them to stir-fry the price of garlic."

"First of all, they will release some garlic, but the amount of garlic will definitely not meet the needs of the market. Then, they will slowly raise the price of garlic during this period. Then, the citizens will think, oh, there is a shortage of garlic. It can't be so expensive."

"When the price of garlic is raised to their satisfactory price, and public opinion guidance is formed in the market, they will put a large amount of garlic to wholesalers at all levels. Then they took the opportunity to make a profit. Han Feng said.

"Oh! So that's it!" Xu Lili suddenly realized, "They first bought 80% of the garlic in the country, formed a monopoly, and then came out to build momentum, artificially raised the price, and then made a lot of money. These people are really black-hearted! These beasts!" Xu Lili said with an angry look on her face.

"Marx said, 'As long as there is 100% profit, capitalists dare to trample on any law', not to mention that the profit of garlic is dozens of times now. How can they talk to you about their conscience? This is the greed of human nature. Han Feng said helplessly.

"Huge, I have a question." Xu Lili raised her hand and said, "Why don't they choose rice for stir-frying, but garlic? Garlic is not a daily necessity. If they stir-fry rice, the demand will be high."

Han Feng said with a smile, "First of all, most parts of the country produce rice. Do you know how much rice is produced in China every year? There are 90 million tons! Do you know how much it costs to buy more than 80% of the country's rice? His purchase price is 1.5 yuan per catty, and he wants to buy 80% of the rice, at least 300 billion Chinese coins. Even if it is a country, it is impossible to take out so much money at once. What's more, these speculators."

In other words, even if they have so much money, they dare not buy rice. You know, rice is related to people's livelihood. If he dares to fry rice, it will definitely attract a lot of scolding from people all over the country. At that time, the government will definitely come out to regulate it. He dares not do so. Do it."

"So, if they want to fry, they can only fry food that is not a necessity of life. In this way, first, it will not attract people's scolding, and second, it will not attract government intervention." Xu Mei added.

"That's right. Moreover, if they want to stir-fry, they must choose garlic, which is good for storage, so that they can carry out the stir-fry plan."

"Wow! Brother-in-law! You are so awesome! I didn't expect you to be handsome! I can act and sing. I even know so much about economics! No wonder my sister loves you so much!" Xu Lili said with an admiring face, "If my sister weren't for you, I'm afraid I would fall in love with you, brother-in-law!" Xu Lili grabbed Han Feng's hand and looked at Han Feng with her eyes full of little stars and said.

"Cough!" Han Feng coughed twice and looked at Xu Mei awkwardly. Seeing that she was also full of embarrassment at this time, she was lowering her head and pretending to be eating.

"Brother-in-law, do you have a younger brother?" Xu Lili suddenly asked.

"Why are you asking this?" Han Feng asked puzzledly.

"If you have a younger brother, introduce him to me. If you are so excellent, your younger brother will definitely not be much worse. Anyway, the fat water will not flow to the outside!" Xu Lili said with a crazy face.
