Chapter 1176 Strange Transaction
Because the Mawang Town Grain Depot does a relatively authentic thing, that is, it also ensures that some retail investors can sell grain to the grain depot.
This is also why no one has made trouble for so many years. Although several rural cooperatives are jumping up and down, looking for people everywhere and complaining, the relevant departments here in Mawang Town, whether it is the Grain Bureau or Okay, no one cares.
So judging from the current investigation results, the Mawang Town Grain Depot, under the operation of Wang Dahai, gave a total of 3 million tons of annual grain price increases to these three commercial grain companies.
These three commercial grain companies purchase grain from the Mawang Town grain depot at a price higher than the market price every year in July and August.
In fact, Lu Chuan had a rough understanding of it, and it was considered a basic operation.
If a grain depot wants to survive and make a profit, it will inevitably find some means to operate from this aspect. It is a common practice for many grain depots to cultivate some familiar grain companies that they can cooperate with for a long time.
Lu Chuan also learned about some of the operating conditions of other grain depots in Haizhou City through other people. In fact, they are quite different.
But why are the profits made by the Mawang Town Grain Depot so huge?
Of course, on the one hand, the Mawang Town Grain Depot has the largest policy grain purchase target every year, up to 3.5 million tons, and the price is relatively higher, so these three commodity chain companies enjoy the benefits every time they purchase it. The price is slightly higher and the quantity is also larger. 3 million tons of grain must be exported.
If more grain is sold with the same price difference, the profit will naturally be greater.
But there is another problem here.
Some other information that Wang Zhaokai and his team investigated were also obtained from other grain cooperatives.
Although there are many local food cooperatives in Mawen Town and are relatively large in scale, in fact the land cultivated by these food cooperatives does not even account for 10% of the land in Mawang Town.
The vast majority of people growing food in Mawang Town are ordinary people or farmers.
In other words, when the grain is sold in autumn, most of the grain is sold by individual farmers, but only a very small number of these farmers are able to sell the grain to the Marwen Town grain depot at a higher price.
Because the entire Mawang Town grain depot has an annual policy quota of 3.5 million tons, of which 3 million tons are given to the three grain companies, only 500,000 tons are available to ordinary people.
Wang Zhaokai continued to report.
"We have a general understanding of the situation. There has never been any secret operation in the 500,000-ton grain quota warehouse. No matter who is saying hello, it will not work. Wang Dahai has not asked anyone for help."< br>
Since the target of 500,000 tons is actually not small, many local people in grain cooperatives and even some large grain sellers also want to use various relationships, such as relationships in the town, the county The relationship is even within the city. Because of the relationship with the Grain Bureau, I want to get some quotas and sell my grain at a higher price.
But judging from the current investigation results, no matter who said hello to the sea, they have never relaxed the target of 500,000 tons of grain.
“Everyone comes to the grain depot and queues up during the grain selling period. Whoever is in front will sell the 500,000 tons quota and the purchase will end after the quota is used up.”
Wang Zhaokai Investigation There are many photos in the information, which can prove the busy traffic outside the Mawang Town grain depot during the autumn harvest every year. The queue starts from the entrance of the Mawang Town Grain Depot and goes all the way out. The queue can go for three to five miles, and sometimes it can even go as far as ten miles.
To be honest, this Wang Dahai still has something.
Although most of the 3.5 million tons of grain were handed over to the three major grain companies, only 500,000 tons were left.
But because of the 500,000 tons of grain quota, Wang Dahai has never done anything fishy, so it is all done according to the queue. It is very fair. Whoever queues up first can buy the quota first. , finish it after you finish it.
This is also the reason why ordinary farmers never make it difficult for people in grain depots. After all, when they collect grain according to the rules, everyone comes to line up. Whoever harvests early and who comes early will naturally Just ahead.
But there is another problem. The 500,000 tons of grain are only a very small part of the busy production. The vast majority of farmers have no way to sell the grain, so they can only sell it to commercial grain companies or Go to other places to sell grain.
Of course it is still unrealistic to buy food from other places.
After all, the price difference between the purchase price of commercial grain and policy grain is actually not very big. Sometimes it is one to two cents, and at most it is not more than a dime.
But if food is transported over long distances, the freight alone may cost at least three and a half cents.
So sometimes even if the purchase price of grain outside is slightly higher than that in Mawang Town, farmers will still choose to sell grain locally in Mawang Town.
One of the main reasons is that the transportation of food is quite troublesome.
If you want to sell grain, you have to harvest more. Naturally, the selling price will be higher if the amount is larger, but the consumption during transportation will also be higher.
After all, ten or twenty kilograms of grain, even if you add a dime or even one yuan, it only costs ten or twenty yuan. If you pay only half a kilogram of grain, it is possible to buy hundreds of thousands kilograms or even hundreds of tons of grain at only one or two cents. Earn enough profit on the price difference.
All these materials seemed to be relatively complete and there were no problems, but one thing caught Lu Chuan's attention. Wang Zhaokai reported to him specifically because of this matter.
Wang Zhaokai's people discovered a strange thing during the 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 that these three commodity companies are in Mawang Town. Although they have offices here, no one comes to collect food during the autumn harvest. They only cooperate during the period of cooperation in Hippo King Town. There are people working here for three to five days, and the rest of the time the door is basically closed, with only one or two people standing guard.”
The strange thing is that this place is strange. Three commercial grain companies have obtained policy grain purchase quotas 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, so that they can earn the price difference between commercial grain and policy grain.
In fact, these three grain depots do sell a large amount of grain to the Mawang Town grain depot during the autumn harvest every year, but they do not collect grain from local farmers, so where do these 300 tons of grain come from? What about?
