"So, should I help you create this opportunity?"

Li Yifan asked with a smile on his face, while Wang Baojing on the other side nodded without hesitation.

"It can be said that there is nothing wrong. Brother Xiao Li, you are engaged in the liquor industry, so you should know that our domestic liquor brewing is different from those of whiskey and brandy in Europe and the United States. They use malt to make wine, while our domestic use sorghum. It is precisely because of the use of sorghum that our unique taste of our liquor is created."

Although Li Yifan is not a winemaking technician, he is at least doing this at home, so he agrees with what Wang Baojing said.

Indeed, it is precisely because of the different raw materials that our unique liquor culture in China has been created.

There are many different opinions on the origin of the domestic liquor brewing, but everyone cannot refuse to admit that the area where the most liquor brews in China is indeed Xichuan Province.

Here we can say that liquor produces 70% of the national annual output. The well-known liquor brands here, such as Wuliangye, Jiannanchun, Luzhou Laojiao and other well-known brands, are almost all sorghum when brewing.

Even the national wine Maotai produced in the southern province of G was mainly used when brewing, and it was also sorghum.

Winemaking technicians in Xichuan Province first discovered that when a special sorghum variety, that is, glutinous sorghum, is used to make wine, the yield of white wine will be very high and the mouth feel will be better.

Later, these skills gradually spread across the country with those technicians.

So almost all domestic liquor brewing companies know that they use glutinous sorghum to brew liquor, so everyone starts to introduce a large number of this raw materials every year to prepare for their production.

In China, Xichuan Province was originally a major farmer for growing glutinous sorghum, but later due to environmental changes, especially after entering the industrial age, humans emitted a large amount of greenhouse gases, which led to climate changes. Coupled with the construction of a certain dam, the climate in the southwest region has seriously changed.

In recent years, the average temperature here has increased significantly. Such severe climate changes have led to a large reduction in the yield of glutinous sorghum in the region. Even if it can be planted every year, the quality is much worse than before.

Moreover, even if the output of this glutinous sorghum is OK, it is sales targeted. It can only be targeted at liquor brewing companies, and these liquor brewing companies are not good things.

Because many of them have national backgrounds, they often use the methods of the planned economy in the market, either joining the government to guide prices or joining forces to suppress the prices of raw materials.

This greatly undermined the enthusiasm of farmers to plant this kind of cash crop. A large number of farmers began to switch to corn or other crops, which led to the production of this cash crop, which has been reduced year by year in the southwest region.

With the expansion of these liquor companies in the market, in order to maximize production capacity, they need more glutinous sorghum as raw materials.

This has caused the current market situation of shortage of raw materials. As of last year's location, Xichuan Province's annual alcohol production reached hundreds of thousands of tons, while their glutinous sorghum gap was as high as 700,000 tons.

This gap is even higher than half of their demand for raw materials, and most of these glutinous sorghum are imported from the three eastern provinces.

Wang Baojing listed a series of data for Li Yifan one by one, and introduced it to him, and it can be seen that he had done very detailed preparations.

"Now, our three eastern provinces, plus the northeastern part of Mongolian Xinjiang Province, this area is one of the few areas in China that produce high-quality glutinous sorghum. The annual glutinous sorghum production in these areas is also a market that those liquor companies are competing for. Originally, everyone had their own area, signing targeted and purchasing with sorghum growers every year, but since your Phoenix Wine Industry has also joined the acquisition army, they have suffered a lot. After all, you are a local enterprise and have a natural advantage in the acquisition cost, and it is not necessary to avoid the problem.

The key is that the relationship between Phoenix Wine Industry is strong enough. If it is an ordinary enterprise, they may use administrative means to put pressure on the local government to solve such problems, but your relationship is not worse than them, so in this regard, they have no choice but to do anything to you. Now Phoenix Wine Industry is getting bigger and bigger, and its annual output is reaching a new high, and the demand for glutinous sorghum is gradually increasing. However, the production of glutinous sorghum in our place is only so much every year. The more you want, the less they can get, so this gives me an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Wang Baojing said this, with a little smug look on his face. To be honest, not everyone can have such a look.

After hearing this, Li Yifan nodded, and that's indeed the case.

With the advantages of their local enterprises, Phoenix Wine Industry is indeed very advantageous when acquiring sorghum.

Moreover, they are not like those liquor companies, they often use national background names to suppress people. They do things completely according to market rules and the prices are high enough, so the people are of course willing to sell the glutinous sorghum to them.

After all, those liquor companies want to acquire enough high-quality raw materials and want to reduce costs, but they are unwilling to pay too much money. However, many ordinary people and local governments have suffered a lot, so they certainly have opinions about them.

Those guys are not doing human affairs. Li Yifan has not heard of such rumors once and again.

Whenever the harvest season for glutinous sorghum is reached, they either put pressure on the local grain warehouse leaders through the above relationships to lower the purchase price.

Or they just contact a group of grain dealers to join forces to reduce prices. They have used many unethical methods. Do you think the people can have a good impression of them?

With disruptors like Phoenix Wine Industry, how could they still sell their grain to those companies?

So in the past two years, those colleagues from other provinces have had great opinions on the acquisition quotation of Phoenix Wine. However, after all, Phoenix Wine is now a local enterprise that is mainly taken care of in Northern Province, so they can only stare at them and have no choice but to do anything to them.

"Last year, many areas in the three eastern provinces suffered from floods and reduced yields in terms of harvesting glutinous sorghum. So this year, do you plan to sautumn high prices here?"

Li Yifan asked with a smile and tentatively, and Wang Baojing immediately clapped his face.

"It turns out that you are a smart person. Talking to a partner like you is easy to deal with. Hahaha, what I like most is to do business with a smart person like you. It is easy to worry!"

Wang Baojing said with a smile, but Li Yifan was not confused by his ** soup.

"Brother Wang, it seems that you are having a lot of fun this time! But playing futures like this, I heard that in China, the futures market is in the provincial capital of southern Henan, and if you want to play grain futures, the key is to our hometown Bincheng? I have never heard of such a market in Xichuan?"

Li Yifan raised another question about himself.

Indeed, the formal futures market that is currently recognized in China is in the southern Henan Province, and is not the national railway freight center and a central hub, so it is set up as a futures trading center by the state.

The real futures market for grain is actually in Bincheng, Northeast China.

Because the Northeast is now a major grain-producing area in China, the country almost relies heavily on the large granary here.

After the bumper harvest of grain here every year, it is transferred out of customs and transported by railways. There is also a large part of it that almost needs to be converted from the port of Bincheng and transferred to the south.

Therefore, there are many financial investors who speculate in grain futures in Bincheng, and they naturally become a market for grain futures wherever they are.

But Wang Baojing actually planned to fry sorghum in Xichuan, which made Li Yifan a little worried whether the place where this guy was going to operate was formal.

"Hahaha, brother Xiao Li, you are a heretic. After all, you are not a professional, so you may not know that in fact, the largest sorghum futures market in China is in Xichuan. After all, this is the area with the largest sorghum consumption in China, so there are actually sorghum trading in many stock exchanges in Rongcheng and Shuangqing. And there is one of the largest underground futures trading markets in the country, so..."

Wang Baojing was honest enough. After he said this, Li Yifan raised his eyebrows and a few rays of light shot out from his eyes.

There are many underground futures trading markets in China, such as in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and in Puhai.

The earliest underground financial markets in Shenzhen and Hong Kong appeared, mainly targeting the Hang Seng Index in Xiangjiang, while the Puhai company appeared later, specifically targeting some mass import and export commodities.

For example, raw materials needed by various industries, iron ore, copper ore powder, etc.

There are also soybean underground trading markets in Bincheng, etc. Those who are playing futures in China must know these places.

However, this is the first time Li Yifan heard about the sorghum trading market that Wang Baojing mentioned. He didn't know before that Xichuan actually had the largest sorghum futures trading market in China, of course, it was about the black market!

"That's it! Is this plate safe? How big can it be played? Who is playing it?"

Li Yifan couldn't help but ask Wang Baojing, after all, he planned to join in and have fun, so he had to know whether the market quotation was safe or not.

In an underground black market, people who can come in to play must have extraordinary backgrounds, but the more they do so, the more they need to pay attention to the security of funds.

Otherwise, if someone gives you a bad guy, you have no place to complain. If you call the police, it is probably not good, and the police will arrest you first.
