By the time people from the four major grain traders found Wang Jianjun, the soybean futures price in the United States had already fallen by 5%.
This price drop is really exaggerated.
The people from the four major grain traders thought that the lies they told to the media had been exposed.
But when they investigated, they found out that it was Wang Jianjun who was behind it.
Wang Jianjun not only sold soybeans in large quantities at a price lower than the futures price.
There was even a discount sale.
As long as you buy enough, you can get a 10% discount.
The discount may not seem big, but food is a business of small profits but quick turnover and mainly relies on volume.
This discount is already quite favorable.
The presidents of the four major grain companies were all puzzled at this moment.
Where does this soybean seller get so much?
You should know that there are only a few countries in the world that grow soybeans on a large scale.
Most of these places are tied together by the four major grain traders.
Moreover, it is not yet the soybean harvest season, but the quality of those beans is obviously not stale, and they look like fresh ones.
The four major grain traders don’t understand what is going on.
But the most important thing now is to drive up the price.
If they continue to bargain like this, all their previous efforts will be in vain.
As a result, the four major grain traders all sent representatives to Hong Kong to discuss cooperation with Wang Jianjun.
On the other hand, after using millions of tons of soybeans as bait, Wang Jianjun finally waited for his target.
A representative from Cargill, one of the four major grain traders.
Wang Jianjun deliberately left the other party alone for a few days before having him brought to his office.
What surprised Wang Jianjun was that the person sent by Cargill was a white woman in her thirties.
She has standard blonde hair and blue eyes, wears gold-rimmed glasses and is wearing a slim-fitting uniform, which makes her look amazing.
If he had to give a score to the woman in front of him, Wang Jianjun thought he could give her a 9.
Wang Jianjun was a little surprised. Why would Cargill send such a young woman to negotiate with him?
"Hello, Mr. Wang. I'm the account manager of Cargill. You can call me Caitlin."
The woman named Caitlin introduced herself and extended her hand to shake hands with Wang Jianjun.
Very standard Chinese, if you didn’t look at his face you would even think you were talking to a Chinese.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when the other person stretched out his hand, it scratched his palm without leaving any trace.
The more Wang Jianjun looked at that movement and expression, the more familiar it seemed to him.
Just like those actresses in Shen Chuxia's company who flirted with her and tried to seduce her.
So what does the other party mean?
Wang Jianjun was secretly curious.
He subconsciously scanned the entire body of this woman named Caitlin.
Then I noticed something unusual about the button on her chest. It must be some kind of recording device.
Wang Jianjun pretended to be clueless and asked casually:
"Ms. Caitlin, I wonder what you want to see me about this time?"
Seeing Wang Jianjun's calm face, Catherine was a little surprised but she didn't show it on her face.
"Boss Wang, I am here to discuss cooperation with you on behalf of Cargill."
Wang Jianjun did not answer, but just gestured for the other party to continue speaking.
His nonchalant attitude made Caitlin a little unhappy.
After all, he represents Cargill, one of the four largest grain traders.
Even if you, Wang Jianjun, are considered a local boss in Hong Kong, you are nothing compared to Cargill.
But thinking of the request made by the company president before coming here, Caitlin finally endured it.
"We heard that you have been selling a large amount of soybeans recently. As you know, Cargill is one of the largest companies in the world. If you have enough soybeans, we want to buy them all."
Wang Jianjun glanced at the other party and said with a half-smile:
"Buy them all, but I have a lot of goods here."
"Boss Wang, are you doubting our company's strength? You can tell us any number you want. We can take any amount."
Caitlin said very confidently.
She had understood it when she came.
Wang Jianjun has sold nearly one million tons of soybeans so far.
This is almost the annual output of a small country.
It is only the end of February now that China's soybeans are harvested, and it will be about a month before the spring farming season. The soybeans on the market have basically been cleared out, and all soybean companies are waiting for the new beans to come on the market.
The four major grain traders all speculated that Wang Jianjun must have stockpiled these beans last year or even the year before.
I don't know what method is used to store soybeans and keep them fresh.
Now they want to take advantage of the rising soybean prices to clear their inventory.
They guessed Wang Jianjun's soybean stocks and estimated that they could only be as high as 5 million tons.
What's more, he has now sold one million tons.
Even if he had two or three million, he would only lose a little money if he bought all of them. Anyway, he would earn it back in the future.
"Okay, since you are so powerful, I will be honest with you. I have 100 million tons of soybeans. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Hearing this number, Caitlin's hand holding the coffee couldn't help but tremble.
"Boss Wang! Are you kidding me? The annual soybean production of our country is only over 100 million tons?!"
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. I don't have 100 million tons, but I do have 50 million tons in stock."
Caitlin had just breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the first half of Wang Jianjun's words, but the next second she felt unwell.
Fifty million tons is an exaggeration, isn't it?!
"Boss Wang, please don't joke with me like this. How could China possibly have 50 million tons of soybean reserves?"
Caitlin looked incredulous, she thought Wang Jianjun must be lying.
"The fact that China doesn't have soybeans doesn't mean that other countries don't have them. The price of soybeans has been rising rapidly in recent years. I went to several countries to get these soybeans a few years ago, and I was planning to sell them at a good price this year."
Wang Jianjun specifically emphasized this word this year.
Wang Jianjun's words made Caitlin hesitate.
There is nothing wrong with what Wang Jianjun said.
No matter how powerful the four major grain traders are, they cannot really control the global grain trade.
Moreover, Wang Jianjun also has the financial strength to buy so much grain.
"Boss Wang, it seems that I am too arrogant. Fifty million tons is too large for me to make a decision. I need to confirm with the company's senior management before discussing cooperation with you."
Cargill gave Caitlin authority for five million tons.
But Caitlin didn't expect that Wang Jianjun directly gave 50 million tons.
That's a full ten times difference.
Although Cargill is not short of money, it does not mean that they are fools. Once soybeans come on the market this year, the market price will be cut in half, and they will lose a lot of money.
"Then you have to hurry up. I have to meet with the account managers of Bunge and Louis Dreyfus tomorrow. They probably want to buy my goods just like you do."
