Back to 1988

Chapter 1142 Futures
The scene was noisy, and everyone opposed the suspension of production, and even threatened Ma Wanjun that they would bear all the consequences if the suspension of production occurred.

Some people on the scene even began to abuse in disregard of face.

Regardless of these voices, Ma Wanjun just wished everyone a happy life, then put down the microphone and left the scene.

joy?

As long as this group of people has the slightest pleasure, there will be ghosts. Some people report the situation to the company, some directly contact the Ronald family, and some even directly contact the local municipal government to start exerting pressure through connections or means.

In South Africa, in the evening, as the sun went down, workers from various mines went to the wells one after another, the roar of the machines stopped, and the whole world fell silent in an instant. The supervisor came over and announced that production would stop tomorrow. Way to wait at home.

As soon as the news came out, the on-site workers became happy, and they could get half of their wages without doing anything. This is a good thing that has never happened in this life.

Then the person in charge announced another thing, a temporary formation of a mine protection team, more than a dozen experts, in addition to the original half salary, there is also a high salary.

In less than a few hours, many large tungsten mines were shut down, and some small tungsten mines were also shut down one after another, leaving only a few small mines.

As soon as Ma Wanjun returned to the company, he received a call from the local municipal government, asking him to abide by the contract, maintain the ecological environment of the local enterprise, and not stop production.

Ma Wanjun told the local mayor on the phone that this was to better comply with the contract, and they did the right thing.

The other party was very tough on the phone. If he dared to suspend production, the local court would dare to sentence him to lose the lawsuit. Ma Wanjun could only shirk when he heard this, saying that he could not do it. Just produce.

Not only Ma Wanjun was overwhelmed, but Ronald's family was also threatened. When they signed the contract, their family company enjoyed kickbacks. Now that this happened, it's not just a word that I can't take care of it.

Ronald's father even received a death warning. The Ronald family knew that this matter could no longer be resolved by themselves, so they simply flew overnight to Europe for vacation, leaving a few vice presidents to take care of it.

In China, Lu Feng listened to Ma Wanjun's report on the relevant situation on the phone, and told him to make safety preparations, spend the money that should be spent, and if someone speaks loudly, the pie that should be painted must also be painted It's round.

Jiafeng Group headquarters, Lu Feng held several meetings in the morning. The group building has entered the stage of interior decoration, and the last phase of the Tianjin factory will also start construction this year. The TV market continues to expand, achieving growth for eight consecutive years.

At the meeting, Lu Feng asked them to continue to take root in the brand and expand the sales points in various provinces in the country. The mobile phone market is so big that there are not many waves. Leaving this big family.

In the afternoon, in the conference room, Lu Feng briefly explained the situation in South Africa, and said to the person in charge of finance: "Now there is an opportunity to make money, and it won't be long before the price of tungsten in the futures trading market will go up. When it’s time to go long, you can transfer some of the money out to participate in futures.”

The person in charge of finance looked at Lu Feng with a look of embarrassment, and said, "Boss Lu, our financial requirement is not to participate in risks. If we invest too little money, we won't earn much. If we invest too much money, the supervisors of the board of directors will report it. It also has to be approved by the Board of Directors.”

At the scene, Wei Yandan, Du Guoying, and Zhu Lidong, the core executives, looked at me and I looked at you, and they all understood what Lu Feng meant by holding this meeting.

Of course, Lu Feng knew that the finance was supervised by the board of directors, and he also knew how unhappy John was with him now, so this kind of thing was too much.

However, the news revealed was that the price of tungsten in the futures market was about to skyrocket. Companies could refuse to invest for various reasons, and individuals would be left alone. This was equivalent to sending a huge red envelope to everyone present.

"This is the difficulty of enterprises under the board of directors system. It is difficult for the ship to turn around." Lu Feng seemed very helpless, and sighed: "I made some investments during the Chinese New Year, and all the money in my hand was spent. Is it okay to borrow some money from the company?"

"No problem!" Zhu Lidong was the first to speak: "If you don't agree to this matter, it would be too unreasonable. I'm also a little tight recently!"

Lu Feng looked at Zhu Lidong, then glanced at the others, and said, "Forget about you guys, you can borrow the money after I return the money!"

Of course, the person in charge of finance knew what Mr. Lu wanted to do, nodded and said: "It should be no problem, but you have to ask for interest."

"Okay, with interest, it's okay to borrow [-] million?" Lu Feng asked.

"U.S. dollars or RMB?" The finance minister asked with a guilty conscience.

"U.S. dollars!"

"It's a bit difficult. The company's financial regulations require the approval of the board of directors for borrowings exceeding [-] million US dollars to ensure that there is no risk and there is collateral." The financial manager said embarrassingly.

"Then fifty million!" Lu Feng said helplessly.

"There must be collateral, or a guarantor!"

Lu Feng glanced around, pointed to Wei Yandan and the others and said, "They will guarantee me!"

It was only then that Zhu Lidong and the others suddenly realized that there was a price for letting themselves drink soup, so they should be taken advantage of by this?
Sitting on the sidelines, Wei Yandan couldn't help laughing. Wanting to prostitute Mr. Lu for nothing was as difficult as ever, and they had no choice but to obediently sign the guarantee agreement.

After leaving the conference room, Lu Feng said to the person in charge of finance, "You can help me open an account with the London Futures Exchange, and then buy all the tungsten ore. It's a little personal matter, so I'm sorry."

As soon as Lu Feng left, Zhu Lidong ran up on his back, counted all his funds, asked the other party to help open an account, and bought them together, and then the others did the same.

Ma Wanjun unplugged the phone line that night before he could sleep peacefully. The next day, the ore truck that was originally full of traffic stopped suddenly. They thought that this South African tungsten mine that popped up suddenly did not dare to stop production, but today only Two-tenths of the mineral material hit them in the face.

In less than two days, more than a dozen companies sued the South African tungsten mine to the local court, and Ma Wanjun also received some death threats.

On Wall Street, well-informed people in major investment banks have already learned about the situation of South African tungsten mines. In a conference room, a manager excitedly said to several people: "If the news is true, then we will start to trade in the futures market." The opportunity to fight for fame has come."

A team member in his thirties looked at him and said: "I don't think this is a good thing. Someone maliciously stopped production after forming a local monopoly. You must know that most of the tungsten alloys in our country come from there. It should be Pass this news upwards to avoid greater losses at the national level."

"Are you out of your mind? What does the country's loss have to do with you? The more people who know about this news, the more the futures market will rise. We should buy in now. As long as we make money, others will die or not." Live, what do we care about?"

"I agree, if the information is reliable, I can mortgage my house!"

"We want to tell the country and let the country investigate. Tungsten alloy is the core mineral for manufacturing high technology."

"Shut up, I don't care what happens to the earth, I don't care what happens to this country, as long as you give me money, I don't care about anything, understand?" The manager stared at the team member angrily and said: " Put away your patriotic enthusiasm, what we have to do now is to investigate and make sure that the reduction in production of tungsten mines is not temporary, so I booked a few tickets to South Africa and left immediately!"

That same day, three teams from Wall Street, all well-informed financiers, boarded a plane to South Africa.

It's already February, the weather in Shenzhen is starting to pick up, and the atmosphere of the year has completely dissipated. People have started another year of busy work, and the free mobile phones that were talked about in the streets and alleys a while ago are also left behind.

It's just that various mobile phone accessories wholesales, battery wholesales, and shell wholesales have begun to appear in the market in Huaqiangbei. Some people find that these accessories are like disassembling a mobile phone and selling them. There are even display screens and motherboards. The communication chip is basically complete.

Some people have discovered the business opportunities and started buying in batches.

"The button is gone, just order!" A woman in her thirties and forties leaned on the counter and asked, "Mr. Cui, why are you buying these? Are you really assembling a mobile phone? This thing lacks a communication chip. Is there a piece of it? I can’t make a phone call without it. When these parts first came out, someone was watching them. Later, it was found that the parts were missing. They are all for people who repair mobile phones. Does Jiafeng Group know? Recently pushed That Jiaxun phone!"

"I know, Mr. Lu, I know him, he's an old acquaintance, that's my cellmate!" Sitting there, Cui Ning lit a cigarette and said, "Do you know how he got his job? I recommended him, A relationship drawn in the middle!"

"Really? Didn't realize that you still have this connection?" The woman asked curiously, "Why did you buy this?"

"Didn't you realize that these accessories are quite cheap? After they are all assembled, it costs five thousand yuan. To buy a new mobile phone, it costs six thousand. Where are the accessories so cheap?" Cui Ning said with a smile.

"The key is that it is useless, it lacks something!"

"How many people in China know that this thing needs a communication chip to make a phone call? What am I doing? I'm a waste of goods. I assembled this thing. When I sell it to the north, I say I stole it. I want to find it afterwards. Whoever is looking for it." Cui Ning said proudly.

"Oh my god, you lack great virtue." The woman scolded with a smile.

"Am I immoral? I can't make money if I'm not immoral these days. Damn it, Lu Feng owes me money and I still haven't paid it!" Cui Ning cursed and greeted the woman, telling her to remember to give it to herself. Stay, finish talking and leave.
