Of course, Chen Yu wasn't cooking to make money.
He didn't have the energy to cook.
Chen Yu was hyping it up for their vegetable stealing game.
As long as the price of vegetables was hyped up, people would naturally accept the vegetable stealing game.
When the whole nation was discussing the price of vegetables, it would be the time when vegetable stealing became widespread in North America.
Huanyu Technologies was an IT company. They didn't do vegetable wholesalers.
Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to do it well. They might even lose money.
But that didn't matter.
It was fine even if Chen Yu made a loss when cooking.
As long as the attention of cooking was diverted to the vegetable stealing game, everything would be profitable.
Moreover, vegetables were real things. If they couldn't cook them, they wouldn't lose much.
At most, they could sell them to others and make a loss.
But once they started to cook, it would be a huge benefit to the vegetable stealing game.
Under Chen Yu's arrangement, a few hundred million was quickly invested.
Things like vegetables were cheap to begin with.
After spending a few hundred million, he instantly raised the price of xihong persimmon from 2.50 USD per catty to 3 USD per catty.
Of course, this wasn't a market behavior.
This was Huanyu Technologies spending money.
Although it was a loss in the beginning, and the price of tomatoes had even suppressed the purchasing power of consumers.
But it didn't matter.
As America's favorite dish, even if you didn't buy it today, you had to buy it tomorrow.
It was like pork.
Even if the price of pork increased, you had to buy it.
So …
After only three days, the price of xihang started to rise steadily.
Chen Yu's family wasn't the only one responsible for this.
Chen Yu was only the driving force.
In fact, at the beginning, some other vegetable investors were just watching the show.
They didn't think that they could increase the price of tomatoes.
Although everyone wanted to eat tomatoes and it was the favorite dish of North America, the production of tomatoes in North America was also high.
Of course, this was also because many vegetable investors weren't very capable.
Generally speaking, which person with some ability would want to cook?
Speculating in stocks?
Speculating in real estate?
Wasn't it better to speculate in futures?
Who would come here to cook for no reason?
The ones cooking were all small fries with mediocre strength.
But who would have thought that Huanyu Technologies would walk into a market that no other company was interested in?
Although Huanyu Technologies wasn't very rich, it was more than enough for them to cook.
Under the lead of Huanyu Technologies, the price of tomatoes began to rise.
The investors, who had been watching from the side, realized that the situation seemed to be different from what they imagined.
According to the current situation, the price of tomatoes could really increase.
Moreover, they also found out that there was a big shot in the tomato market.
This guy had spent hundreds of millions just to raise the price of tomatoes.
"Guys, let's go."
"This year's vegetable market is here. If we make a profit this time, we can quit for three years."
"Okay …"
Although some of the other vegetable investors weren't that powerful, there were still too many of them.
Moreover, there were not only vegetable investors in the United States. Vegetable wholesalers could also become vegetable stir-fryers.
When these vegetable wholesalers couldn't make any profits, they would do a proper vegetable wholesale business.
Although this kind of business didn't earn much every day, it was stable.
Vegetables were a necessity. No matter what, everyone had to eat vegetables. This business had to be done every day.
But when they saw the price of tomatoes rising again and again, they couldn't sit still and followed the trend.
This was a little like the price increase of memory hard drives in his previous life.
At first, it was the manufacturers who raised the price, then the distributors. Slowly, even the computer retailers joined in.
Did you think that was the end?
No.
As long as there was a chance, even if they weren't in this line of work, they would still come and stir up a wave.
In fact, this was the case.
In the past, many investors didn't care about vegetables.
Most of them went into other businesses.
But when they saw the price of vegetables rise a few times, they also went into the stir-frying business.
Wouldn't it be stupid to not earn money?
Moreover, if they wanted to stir-fry, they could stir-fry other things too.
For example, meat, which had a bigger pool of capital.
And so, with a series of investments, the price of vegetables in North America began to skyrocket.
Take tomatoes for example.
Originally, it was $2.50 per catty. Now, it had risen to $7 per catty.
Compared to the original price, it was almost three times the original price.
If you said that it was too expensive and you didn't want to eat it, then don't eat it. There would always be people who would eat it.
But whether you ate it or not, the price of vegetables had already risen.
And from the looks of it, it might not stop for a while.
[The North American vegetable index has increased by 70%.]
[Tomatoes have become popular in North America. The highest price has risen to $10 per catty.]
[The price of vegetables has led to the price of other products. The surface price and oil prices have increased by more than 20% …]
At this time, Chen Yu, who started the surge, immediately withdrew from this stir-frying business.
It wasn't that he didn't want to stir-fry, but he knew that even if he didn't, the price had already risen.
Also, he couldn't get too involved in stir-frying. He was in America, so he had to keep a low profile.
When he wasn't very strong, he shouldn't attract too much hatred.
If at this time, the higher-ups in North America had their eyes on him and wanted to suppress Huanyu Technologies, Chen Yu would lose a lot.
But even so, Chen Yu was still very tempted when he saw the price of vegetables continue to skyrocket.
If he didn't take time out, he could really make a lot of money from this wave of market.
But Chen Yu wasn't a greedy person.
Now that the mission was completed, the next step was to lead the game of stealing vegetables.
How to lead the current soaring price of vegetables to stealing vegetables?
It couldn't be more simple.
It was just a matter of one sentence.
For example:
[Since we can't afford to eat vegetables, let's steal vegetables.]
[Vegetables are so expensive. Do you know how to grow vegetables? Come, I'll teach you.]
[Are you still buying vegetables to eat? I've already grown cabbages …]
This was the advertisement that Chen Yu had prepared for the North American public.
After the advertisement, there was a link. Clicking on the link would allow one to enter their WeChat friend network to steal vegetables.
If it was any other time, no one would click on such an advertisement.
Who would go and plant vegetables or steal vegetables for no reason?
They usually didn't care about this at all.
But now was a special time.
When the price of vegetables was skyrocketing, this was like how pork had always been a topic of discussion in the country.
As long as it was a topic about vegetables, countless people would talk about it.
And when they talked about vegetables, it naturally extended to growing vegetables.
Also, they vaguely heard that there were people who played the game of stealing vegetables.
And this game seemed to be quite fun.
Since the price of vegetables was already so high, they might as well steal vegetables …
