44: Chapter 44 The Grain War! The Four Major Grain Merchants Attempt to Short the Dragon Kingdom!

"What?! The Dragon Kingdom wants to dump ten thousand tons of grain into the global market?!"

"The price is half of the international market?! This... this is simply insane!"

On Wall Street in Eagle Country, inside a luxurious secret conference room, four men in suits with extraordinary bearing suddenly sprang up from their chairs.

They were the helmsmen of the four major global grain merchants—Cargill, ADM, Bunge, and Louis Dreyfus.

For a long time, relying on their monopoly over the global grain supply chain, they had manipulated global grain prices and earned astronomical wealth.

With the "cooperation" of the s-23 virus and natural disasters, they had just pushed international grain prices to a new historical high, preparing to reap a massive harvest.

Yet unexpectedly, a piece of news from Lin Yun was like a bolt from the blue, instantly casting them into the abyss!

"Hasn't the Dragon Kingdom always been short of grain?! Where did they get ten thousand tons of grain?!"

Johnson, the CEO of Cargill, slammed the table, his face filled with shock and anger.

"Could it be that they have also mastered some kind of 'black technology'?"

Peterson, the president of ADM, looked livid.

He recalled the Dragon Kingdom's astonishing performance in fields like chips, military, and medicine previously.

Every time, it was Lin Yun who, at a critical moment, pulled out some kind of disruptive black technology and completely shattered their plans!

"Even if they have black technology, it's impossible to grow this much grain in just one month, right?"

Williams, the chairman of Bunge, had eyes full of suspicion.

"This must be a propaganda offensive by the Dragon Kingdom! They want to use this method to stabilize domestic grain prices while intimidating us!"

François, the CEO of Louis Dreyfus, snorted coldly.

"Exactly! This is definitely a bluff!"

"They want us to sell off the futures in our hands, and then they will buy them at a low price!"

"We cannot be fooled! We must hold steady!"

The executives of the four major grain merchants chimed in one after another, trying to convince themselves that this was just a "psychological tactic" by the Dragon Kingdom.

However, deep down, a strong sense of unease permeated their hearts.

Lin Yun—this name had already become their inescapable nightmare!

"No! We cannot sit here and wait for death!"

Johnson stood up abruptly, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"Since they want to play, then we will play with them to the end!"

"Isn't the Dragon Kingdom planning to dump ten thousand tons of grain?!"

"Then we will sell off all the futures contracts in our hands! Short the international grain market!"

"We will let international grain prices fall to rock bottom! Let the grain the Dragon Kingdom dumps rot in their warehouses!"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Peterson's eyes too.

"That's right! We won't just sell off! We will also spread rumors, claiming that the Dragon Kingdom's grain contains viruses or is toxic and harmful!"

"We will completely destroy the international reputation of the Dragon Kingdom's grain!"

Williams and François also echoed him one after another.

"Exactly! We control global media resources; we will make everyone believe that the Dragon Kingdom's dumping of grain is a deliberate attempt to undermine global food security!"

"We will make the Dragon Kingdom completely lose this 'Grain War'!"

The helmsmen of the four major grain merchants quickly reached a consensus.

They decided that at all costs, they would crush the Dragon Kingdom and maintain their monopoly over the global grain market.

A "Grain Battle" against the Dragon Kingdom was ignited in full force by the four major grain merchants within just a few hours of Lin Yun announcing the grain dumping!

The next day.

Global financial markets were in a bloody storm!

The four major grain merchants began frantically selling off the futures contracts in their hands, while simultaneously spreading negative news about the Dragon Kingdom's grain through various channels.

International grain prices, like a roller coaster, plummeted instantly from a historical high in a short period!

Countless small grain enterprises, unable to withstand the massive market volatility, went bankrupt one after another.

Governments of various countries also fell into panic due to the violent fluctuations in international grain prices.

They did not know whether the Dragon Kingdom truly had the ability to dump a large amount of grain, or if the four major grain merchants were engaging in malicious manipulation.

"Comrade Lin Yun, the four major grain merchants have begun their counterattack!"

Inside the Dragon Kingdom's Supreme Command Center, Xiao Zhang's voice carried a hint of anxiety.

"They are frantically shorting the international grain market, and the international grain price has already fallen below our expectations!"

"Moreover, they are still spreading rumors, slandering our grain!"

Elder Chen's expression was also somewhat grim.

He hadn't expected the four major grain merchants' counterattack to be so swift and so fierce.

"Comrade Lin Yun, if we put the grain into the market now, it is very likely we won't be able to recover our costs, and might even suffer a loss!"

Elder Chen looked at Lin Yun, his eyes filled with worry.

He knew that the cost of Lin Yun's "black technology grain" was extremely low, but after all, this was a precious resource of the Dragon Kingdom and could not be wasted lightly.

Lin Yun's gaze remained calmly fixed on the violently fluctuating K-line charts on the screen.

A playful curve tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that this was precisely the cornered beast's struggle of the four major grain merchants.

"No need to worry."

Lin Yun said softly, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"They think that by driving grain prices to rock bottom, they can trap us?"

"They underestimate the foundation of the Dragon Kingdom, and they underestimate the power of the 'Pangu Project'."

"Elder Chen, Xiao Zhang, send out the notice."

Lin Yun's voice was very soft, yet carried an unquestionable command.

"The Dragon Kingdom will suspend all grain export plans."

"But at the same time, increase the production of the 'Pangu Ecological Farm' to the maximum!"

"We must promote the 'Ecological Balance Gene Regulation Technology' nationwide at the fastest speed!"

"Let every inch of the Dragon Kingdom's land become high-yielding fertile fields!"

Elder Chen and Xiao Zhang were stunned upon hearing this.

Suspend exports? Increase production? Promote nationwide?!

What does this mean?!

Lin Yun looked out the window; night had already fallen, but his eyes flashed with a light even more brilliant than the stars.

"They want to fight a grain war, then we will accompany them to the end."

"However, what we are fighting is not the 'capital war' they are playing, relying on hoarding and malicious manipulation."

"What we are fighting is a 'dimensional reduction strike war' relying on technological innovation and output crushing!"

He knew that the four major grain merchants thought they were shorting the international grain market.

Yet they did not know that Lin Yun was shorting their "future"!

He wanted those capitalists who attempted to control the world through grain to know what it means to be...

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

A true "grain counterattack battle" with technology as its core was about to be fully ignited on a global scale in a way they had never imagined!

Those international grain merchants were still smugly pleased with their short-term "victory" at this moment.

Yet they did not know that Lin Yun had already prepared a gift for them, one sufficient to completely bury all their ambitions...

"Death Package!"
