The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 618 I'm going to cry

"Isn't the purchasing group of those Chinese people ready yet?" Rafter said while supporting his head with some headaches.

At this time, more than ten days have passed since the Huaxia people's purchasing group, and even the time has entered April 2004, and the organization under Rafter has begun to be responsible for stabilizing prices in the market again.

But until now, the purchasing group of that damn Chinese person has not started purchasing.

At the beginning, there was news that the Chinese purchasing group would arrive in the United States within three days, and then purchase in the futures market through centralized bargaining, and it was said that they would purchase 300 million tons of soybeans at a time.

It's just that this news made Rafter and others very disappointed, because they currently have a full stockpile of nearly 600 million tons of soybeans. If they only purchase 300 million tons, what should they do with the remaining 300 million tons?
After all, after the purchasing group has been organized once, it may take a few months to organize the second one. If the high price of soybeans is still maintained within a few months, then their various financial institutions will have to pay for it. Lost all the blood.

The Chinese people's appetite shouldn't be so small!At this time, Rafter wished that the purchasing group of Huaxia people would be disbanded directly.

Fortunately, new news came soon. It turned out that there were still several major soybean processing companies in Huaxia who had doubts about the purchasing group. In order to gain greater bargaining power, the purchasing group was negotiating with several major soybean processing companies.

Therefore, the trip originally planned within three days was delayed to one week, but if all goes well, the size of the purchasing group will increase to 500 million tons.

Although there is still some distance from the target of 600 million tons, if you count some scattered retail purchases, the backlog of soybeans in your hands should be able to sell all of them, but it is definitely not as much as expected.

But 500 million tons is enough, they can accept it.

So Rafter and other institutions began to maintain the price of soybeans in the market for a week, but what people couldn't bear was that more and more soybean orders appeared in the market. On the most day, nearly 30 orders appeared in one go. It is said that the agency responsible for stabilizing prices at that time wanted to give up 380 tons of soybeans, which would directly increase their holding costs to nearly [-] US dollars per ton.

So Rafter and others held an emergency meeting and decided to share about 2 tons among each company, reducing the cost of holding positions, and finally appeased the runaway institution.

There is no way, the price of soybeans must not fall. Once it falls, the purchasing group will have doubts. They will worry whether the price of soybeans will continue to fall, so the purchasing group may not come.

And once the whole market starts to be bearish, they will declare bankruptcy completely after half a year, which is unacceptable anyway, so they must maintain the price of soybeans, and they must also maintain the upward trend, with a daily price of nearly 1%. The price continued to rise, forcing the purchasing group and the Huaxia people to come over quickly to take over the order.

Fortunately, although the quantity of 30 tons is huge, the rising cost is still within an acceptable range after each company shares some.

But the problem is that there are more than 200,000 tons of soybeans appearing on the market every day. During the one week of negotiations with the purchasing team, nearly 150 million tons of soybeans have been eaten by the alliance one after another in order to maintain The price of soybean futures has dropped, which has also raised the average holding cost of each company to the level of 370 yuan per ton.

Rafter and the others also felt that there might be some problems, so they began to send their subordinates to investigate.

The investigation itself is not difficult. Their power is not to say that they are powerful in the United States, but they can basically run around. There are many friends of them in the market, so a little investigation quickly found that some bastards are trying to short In the soybean market, these more than 100 million tons of soybeans are the soybeans that those bastards obtained from other institutions through short selling, and then spread them on the soybean market.

What they bet is that Rafter and others will not be able to bear the price, and then the soybean market will collapse within three months, and then they will buy soybeans at a low price for backfilling, thereby reaping huge profits.

"These bastards are actually trying to steal money from us!" Rafter and the others were angry.

But they have nothing to do, because according to their investigation, these operations are carried out by some small funds or institutions in the United States.

Although these people are small, they also have their own backgrounds behind them. If they push all the way up, they can reach many top consortiums. Rafter doesn't have the guts to provoke these giants.

Well, in fact, the financial institutions in the United States have the right to run rampant in the United States, and they can cut the leeks of the common people at will. If the two institutions compete, it depends on their respective operations.

Moreover, Rafter and others analyzed it and found that the purposes of the two parties actually have a certain consistency.

The purpose of Rafter and other institutions is to raise the price of soybeans, and then coax the Huaxia people to take over the order. After taking over the order, they directly give up the support and return to the real soybean market, causing the price of the entire soybean market to plummet. As a result, the blood of Huaxia enterprises was drained. become their profit.

At the same time, the companies behind them began to harvest those closed Huaxia soybean industries, achieving a win-win situation.

The essential purpose of these short-selling institutions is to wait for the collapse of soybean prices three months later, because only when the soybean price collapses can they recover soybeans at a low price, so the purpose of both parties is the same.

It's just that these guys suck their own blood, and their profits are sucked from their own, these extremely hateful guys.

But Rabout and others have no choice. They don't even dare to use financial means to deal with it.Because once financial means are used to deal with it, the price of soybeans will collapse directly, and then never expect the Chinese to take over.

And other methods cannot be used, so Rafter and others can only pinch their noses, let these small financial institutions lie on their bodies to suck blood, and at the same time swear in their hearts that once they harvest the fat pig of the Huaxia people, they will lose their money. Go too far and crush all these small financial institutions to death!

Of course, Rafter sent people to investigate the background of these blatant short-selling institutions more than once, and the answers were all very definite and reliable. They were some American financial institutions with a background of large consortiums.

What Rafter didn't know was that all these small financial institutions used the funds of the Western Broncos, and Hao Jianguo used some American gloves to cover up the move.

Of course, with Hao Jianguo's contacts and abilities, he didn't have such gloves at all, but with the help of that old man, it's different. This old man can make Hao Jianguo's actions rain or shine with just one word. , and at the same time, it was tightly covered to prevent some financial institutions such as Rafter from discovering the clues.

After all, they never imagined that their own family would unite with outsiders to deceive themselves. This is unscientific. Americans don’t deceive Americans!

As a result, Rafter can only hope that the 7 days will end soon, that the purchasing group will take off as soon as possible, and then all the soybeans in his hands will be taken away to end this operation.

Everything went very smoothly until the 7th day. The purchasing group officially announced that it had reached an agreement with major companies, and the purchasing target was not 500 million tons, but directly changed to 680 million tons.

This Rafter and others were overjoyed. After all, after so many days of continuous maintenance of the market, the soybeans in their hands have risen from 600 million tons to 720 million tons, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger.

As a result, the Huaxia people's acquisition target was 180 million tons more than expected. The organizations who heard the news burst into tears.

As for whether this news is true, Rafter and the others have no doubts about him, because this purchasing group has their subordinates secretly from the very beginning. There are more than a dozen soybean processing companies in China, but Rafter and the others have already given advance notice to them. control.

The executives of these companies participated in the initiation, formation, and negotiation of the entire purchasing group. These executives even filmed the entire negotiation process with a small sneak recording device, and then handed over the video to Rafter .

Rafter and his employees watched all these hundreds of hours of negotiation videos, and confirmed that these Chinese people are really negotiating, and they are really going to make an acquisition, but everyone's interests are different. On average, there have been constant disputes and negotiations in order to reconcile interests.

This is normal. After all, Rafter and other small alliances of more than a dozen financial institutions spend hours every day negotiating and coordinating.

However, just when the purchasing group was about to take shape, and when Rafter and others were about to run away, a new bad news came, that is, the relevant units learned about the news of this purchasing group, and they believed that it might affect the domestic soybean market. To make an impact, the purchasing group was asked to suspend the trip until it was reviewed and approved by the relevant management agency, otherwise not a single soybean would be allowed to enter the port.

Well, as soon as this order was announced, all members of the procurement team had to agree even if they disagreed. It is said that many members of the procurement team scolded ZF behind their backs, saying that their procurement costs would increase by 1% for every day they delay. This is killing them!

Some members even burst into tears.

Rafter and other institutions are really about to cry. Now more and more small institutions in the market have discovered business opportunities in soybeans, so they are all trying to sell short. Now there will be nearly 40 tons of soybeans on the market every day. Their daily cost of maintaining the market is increasing sharply. If the Chinese people don't come, they will explode directly.

Rafter and the others were really about to cry.

Fortunately, the relevant agencies are really reviewing. They have checked all the documents and data in detail, and have been conducting non-stop investigations for 5 consecutive days. It is said that the results will be available in one day.

However, it happened to be Saturday and Sunday, and the staff of the relevant departments were on holiday. After Monday, there was a news that made Rafter and others full of hope.

That is, the purchasing group has finally been approved. The members of the group will board the plane to the United States on Monday night and arrive in the United States on Wednesday morning. It is expected that they will be able to conduct centralized negotiation on the same day.

At this time, the price of soybeans in the futures market has risen to US$580 per ton, and the holding cost of Rafter and others has also risen to US$412 per ton.
