Chapter 109 Soybeans and Lemons

Qin Tianchuan frowned, with a look of loneliness on his face, "But if we let it go, we will really have to rely heavily on imported soybeans."

Seeing his lonely look, Qing Yun couldn't help it anymore and curled her lips.

"Dad, why do you always think about getting along with Soybeans?"

Qin Tianchuan glared at him angrily, "Why are we thinking about having trouble with Soybeans!

You have to know that rice, flour, grain and oil are the foundation of people’s livelihood!

In addition to being edible, soybean oil also has a wide range of industrial uses.

This is the main raw material for industrial products such as soap, paint, ink, smelting, rubber, tanning, textiles, candles, lubricants, synthetic resins, cosmetics and medicines.

A penny change in each raw material will increase the cost of living by at least a few yuan when it is magnified to the end consumer later.

Do you know that when you are making a lot of money from futures this time, how many oil-extracting companies have collapsed in China?

At that time, after foreign capital controls the domestic oil extraction market, they will not have the final say on the price!"

Qing Yun shook his head, "Dad... there is not only one kind of oil crop, soybeans. Soybean oil has only become the main oil used by households in the past ten years."

Qin Manman on the other side looked surprised and asked, "So you didn't need oil for cooking before? There is nothing else in the supermarket except soybean oil."

Chen Wan glared at her daughter angrily, wanting to hurt her by saying, "I don't eat the fireworks of this world."

For such an old girl, she can't even learn how to cook. She doesn't even have this bit of common sense!

But Qin Tianchuan smiled and blocked the little cotton jacket, "She doesn't know what you blame her for."

Qing Yun quickly explained to the confused Qin Manman, "Before the 1980s, lard and rapeseed oil were generally used in cities.

In rural areas in the north, peanut oil, sesame oil, and soybean oil are also available, but rarely, and they are not bought in supermarkets, but in grain and oil stores.

In the south, rapeseed oil is used, but in my hometown we still use rapeseed oil from small workshops."

Qin Manman's eyes flashed and she quickly leaned towards him.

The biological father and mother across the street, especially the biological mother, want to get angry at themselves whenever they talk about these things.

It doesn't matter to her if she can't cook, and she hasn't hired a teacher to teach her.

Qing Yunyuan moved on to the topic, "Dad, I think your thinking has been misled by foreign capital.

Edible oil is not just soybean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, and rapeseed oil are all available.

Soybean oil now occupies more than 90% of the market, and it is nothing more than the slogans promoted in TV commercials every day.

What, ‘Soybean oil is rich in nutrients, can supplement the nutrients needed by the human body in daily life, and is good for the body.

Rich in vitamin D, vitamin A, linoleic acid, lecithin, as well as rich calcium, iron, phosphorus and other ingredients’.

Over and over again, these advertisements talk about the benefits of soybean oil and brainwash people."

Chen Wan was stunned, "Isn't it true? Many doctors also say so."

Qing Yun smiled, "They are right, soybean oil does have these benefits."

All three members of the Qin family were stunned.

"But other oils also have other benefits. Rapeseed oil lowers fat and loses weight, softens the cardiovascular system, cleanses the liver and promotes gallbladder;

Corn oil lowers cholesterol, delays aging, and protects eyes;

In addition to the benefits of corn oil, sunflower oil also has the effect of regulating mood."

Chen Wan was surprised, "Xiaoqing, is it true? Corn oil can lower cholesterol and delay aging?"

Qing Yun shrugged, "Mom, I made it up."

Qin Manman made a sound.

Chen Wan gave him a big showdown angrily.

Qing Yun chuckled, "But I didn't make it up. I looked at the ingredient list of Manman's skin care products."

Qin Manman glanced sideways at him, "I didn't use corn oil for skin care!"

Qing Yun simply took out her cosmetic bag, took out a bottle of facial cream, pointed to the ingredient list and said,

“This is mainly about antioxidants, and the antioxidant ingredients include vitamins C and E.

For example, vitamin E, it says vitamin E succinate and vitamin E acetate, but they are not actually vitamin E.

Corn is rich in vitamins C and E, so it definitely has the effect of delaying aging.”

Qin Manman grabbed him and gave him a look.

Don’t you just want to say this is an IQ tax?

Qin Tianchuan was enjoying himself secretly on the side.

It seems that this son-in-law is quite strong!

Seeing this, Qing Yun quickly added, "These ingredients are not very effective on the skin when taken orally, so they still have to be applied.

This is what the chemistry teacher said."

Which chemistry teacher?

Naturally, he is a professor of chemical physics.

Qin Manman was a little confused when he heard this. When did the chemistry teacher say this?

But she didn't take it to heart.

There are some things that teachers cannot say to all students.

Generally, when giving lectures and asking for advice, extensions will be made based on students' acceptance level.

Qin Tianchuan thought about it, "So... you want to say that we should increase the publicity of other oil products to reduce family dependence on soybean oil?"

Qing Yun nodded solemnly, "It's mainly for propaganda and guidance. The country can conduct comparative testing of several oil products.

It is best to invite some medical experts and nutrition experts to take turns to popularize science on various channels of the central television station to break the superstition about soybean oil."

Soybean oil is not without its disadvantages.

It's just that this kind of disadvantage cannot be said from his mouth, it has to be said from the mouth of an expert.

Trans fatty acids are definitely not a good thing.

Although daily intake of soybean oil will not cause any side effects, the name can be put to good use.

You can even throw the blame on soybean oil for the "obesity rate among adolescents", "three high rates of obesity among middle-aged and elderly people, coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction".

Anyway, I’m not saying it nonsense. Excessive intake of trans fatty acids is indeed a problem.

Qin Tianchuan narrowed his eyes, "Will it cause other oils to repeat the dominance of soybean oil?"

Qing Yun shrugged, "Dad, just promote a few more oils."

Qin Tianchuan obviously understood and laughed, "That makes sense."

Each oil has different benefits, so people naturally use each oil in turn.

"As for industry..."

Qing Yun shrugged, "Dad, I don't have specific data.

But I’m sure that the soybean processing industry, an industry with little technical content, has definitely seen the birth of many companies during the low soybean price period in the past two years, and the entire domestic processing capacity is absolutely severely oversupplied.

If it dies, it dies, it’s no big deal. The country can also take the opportunity to clean up backward production capacity.”

In his previous life, Qing Yun once conducted an in-depth review of the origin, process, and results of this soybean war.

There are three main reasons:

First, the pricing mechanism and the offensive and defensive shifting of pricing power.

Second, there is an imbalance in the proportion of virtual and real. Taking the beautiful country as an example, CBOT's single-day soybean position is 90 million tons, but the soybean delivery inventory capacity is only 500,000 tons.

Seriously inconsistent with reality.

Soybeans are not soybeans, but funds.

It even makes people wonder whether CBOT has moved from Chicago to Las Vegas and directly changed from an exchange to a casino.

Third, there is the issue of competition mechanism.

Apart from anything else, the price of soy products in China is far lower than the international average.

Dried tofu and spicy strips are cheaper than rice.

The first and second points cannot be changed by Qing Yun, but the third point can be tried.

At this point, if Qin Tianchuan and the others still can't think of a way, they will have no choice.

Looking at the green stubble around Qing Yun's mouth, Qin Tianchuan patted his shoulder with relief.
