      How many people can say that their Chinese ancestor started an international egg cartel before having it all seized by the communists? As long as you draw the right lessons from it.https://twitter.com/jhamby/status/1224541392896049157 …

      The cartel led by China Egg Produce Company (CEPC) fixed the prices of exported frozen egg products: “The significance of this monopoly is indicated by the fact that China contributed 80 to 90% of ‘eggs not in shells’ imported into the United Kingdom until 1941.” There you go.

      Some pages from the article about the China Egg Produce Company (CEPC), and their battle with 6-8 British and American companies, including the International Export Company (IEC). Chinese farmers didn’t sell a lot of eggs until European albumen factories bought them in the 1890s.pic.twitter.com/0oqdA1w3UE

      The China Egg Produce Company figured out they could cut out a few layers of middlemen in the egg game. #EggMonopoly #capitalism #antitrustpic.twitter.com/yuoeW82POK

          “Thus, 8 leading wholesalers in #Shanghai took 200,000 Mexican dollars out of their profits from the war years and established a refrigerating company of their own in 1923.

          …and collect eggs. Why can’t we Chinese establish a plant and sell the egg products abroad?’ Unique among the interwar entrants into the egg products business during the interwar period, this company was an indigenous Chinese firm & had a different organizational architecture.”

          This history is fascinating. Well, you can see how a few families can have an egg monopoly (cartel would be a better word), on selling cheap frozen eggs for export. Of course she didn’t have a monopoly on the eggs that the farmers didn’t sell to “egg collectors”, big or small.

          …exempted from the local transit tax.” “At the beginning the company’s scale was small. Its production of frozen eggs was only about 5 to 10 tons per day, and the number of workers was below 100. The situation changed in the second half of 1923”, with an order of 3,000 tons. 🥚

          Speaking of cornering the market on agriculture commodities, did any of you ever play the card game Pit? The one with the hotel bell that you ring when you’ve got a full hand of one commodity? 🛎 The game was invented by Edgar Cayce, the psychic.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_(game)

          “The specific commodities have varied over the various editions…, but those used in most modern editions are Barley, Corn, Coffee, Oranges, Oats, Soybeans, Sugar and Wheat. The classic version has seven commodities: flax, hay, oats, rye, corn, barley, and wheat.”

          “Two special cards are also included, the Bull and the Bear; use of these cards is optional.” “Pit has no turns, and everyone plays at once. Players trade commodities among one another by each blindly exchanging one to four cards of the same type.”

          My dad, who always believed in psychic powers, liked to tell the story that Edgar Cayce had invented the game because the fast-paced, non-turn-based nature of “Pit” meant that his psychic powers didn’t give him an unfair adventure over the other players.
