Wolf of Xiangjiang

Chapter 345: The Soybean War

The Peninsula Hotel, Beijing.

Lin Zhengjie and Fan Binbin were enjoying delicious food and wine together. To put it bluntly, Fan Binbin was here to "sell" and please Lin Zhengjie, the big boss, in order to obtain the entertainment resources in Du Xilin's hands.

Of course, Fan Binbin doesn’t understand people like Lin Zhengjie. As long as she has sex with him, she won’t care so much about the resources in the entertainment industry, because Lin Zhengjie is really generous.

"Mr. Lin, I toast to you!"

"Why do you want to honor me?"

When Fan Binbin took the initiative to hold the wine and leaned over to toast in front of Lin Zhengjie, he was teased by Lin Zhengjie.

Of course, there must be a reason for toasting!

Fan Binbin responded quickly and said coquettishly: "In the past two years, Mr. Lin's media group has taken good care of me, and Mr. Lin is the boss, so of course I have to respect you!"

Only then did Lin Zhengjie pick up the wine glass and take a sip.

As soon as he put down the wine glass, Fan Binbin took advantage of the alcohol and fell into Lin Zhengjie's arms.

"Mr. Lin, I have heard people say since I was a child that you are a great man, and I admire you very much!"

Having said that, Lin Zhengjie naturally doesn't need to pretend to be a gentleman anymore.

"I'm not a great man, I'm just a man, a normal man!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his magic claws and grabbed Fan Binbin's clothes.

She is indeed a post-80s girl, so pure and full of collagen.

This legendary rich man is handsome and powerful, so she must seize this hard-won opportunity.

The next morning, Lin Zhengjie looked at the beauty in his arms, and it was obvious that she had been badly tortured.

As he grows older, Lin Zhengjie becomes more experienced and stronger; Fan Binbin is young after all, and was already exhausted after a night of tossing and turning, and it will take him two or three days to recover.

Lin Zhengjie had to rush back to Hong Kong, so after getting dressed, he told the girl on the bed: "Du Xilin will tell you later, I have to go back to Hong Kong first!"

Fan Binbin said reluctantly: "Mr. Lin, will I ever be able to see you again!"

"Will do"

Lin Zhengjie slapped Fan Binbin's smooth buttocks twice, which made the girl shrink into a ball, fearing that the big boss would want to sleep with her again.

After a while, Lin Zhengjie came out and found Du Xilin was already in the living room. It seemed that the bodyguard let her in.

"Bring her to Hong Kong for fun later"

"Well, Mr. Lin has taken a fancy to it again!"

Du Xilin, the "madam", actually dared to make fun of her boss.

This woman's real name is Huo Wenxi. "Du Xilin" is the "fake name" given to her by Lin Zhengjie. In her previous life, she was a famous beauty agent in the 1990s. In this life, she joined the media group in the 1990s and was reused by Lin Zhengjie.

So in addition to being Lam Ching Kit's "madam", Florence Hui is also the "gold medal agent" in Hong Kong and the Mainland, with great power.

Lin Zhengjie lifted up Huo Wenxi's chin and then kissed her directly. It was obvious that the two had already developed a closer relationship.

Florence Hui immediately cooperated and hugged her boss tightly.

"There is still one hour left," Lin Zhengjie said as he looked at his watch.

Time was urgent, and Lin Zhengjie also worked hard to create a miracle. Soon Fan Binbin came out and looked at the two of them in surprise.

Time flies, and it is February 2004 in a blink of an eye.

In the 80th floor office of the Hengfeng Financial Group Center, Li Rongsen, president of Horizon Ventures, Qiao Baisen, president of Hengjin Investment Development, and their boss Lin Zhengjie sat at a small conference table.

Both of them are loyal retainers of Lin Zhengjie, and they also "control" hundreds of billions of wealth for Lin Zhengjie. They can be said to have won the trust of Lin Zhengjie.

Of course, the fundamental reason why Lin Zhengjie trusts these senior executives is that they have been with him day and night for decades and have long been conquered by his magical charm, which has influenced their hearts from the bottom of their hearts.

We can't really be called 'puppets', but as long as Lin Zhengjie doesn't treat us unfairly, we will never betray our master even if we die.

"What's the situation with soybean futures?" The purpose of Lin Zhengjie's meeting was to plan soybean futures.

Li Rongsen said: "Since we intervened, the rise in soybean futures seems not high. It is currently only 650 cents per bushel, an increase of less than 20%. The profit on our account is about more than 3000 million US dollars."

Lin Zhengjie immediately understood that what came next was the key.

"Hengjin Investment Development will also add funds soon. If I am not mistaken, the next moment will be a critical one. In February and March, American speculators will definitely push soybean futures to more than 2 cents per bushel. Therefore, we must make at least 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to be reasonable!"

Give both of them a standard so that they won’t be restricted in doing things.

"Okay, we'll work together to arrange it right away!"

Lin Zhengjie nodded. Although Victoria Harbour and Hengjin are two companies, they are actually his private investment companies.

"Also, we should not try to make the last penny. When the price reaches 900 cents per bushel, we will close our positions. You can also secretly use the Hong Kong media to remind people that the price of soybeans is inflated and that it is impossible for the US soybean production to be reduced. The purpose of doing so is to indirectly tell those people in the mainland not to rush to grab other people's high-priced soybeans. This is completely a conspiracy between the four major grain traders and the US government."

In this soybean war, although the United States still holds the initiative - controlling the sovereignty of the world's soybeans, Lin Zhengjie also hopes that mainland companies will suffer less losses and avoid being taken advantage of by the Americans.

The Americans cannot find out anything through the reports of the Hong Kong media. After all, many economic commentators do this kind of work.

"Boss, at least we have to wait until we cash out before we can think of a way to warn the media."

"You can do whatever you want. We are just reminding you for the sake of our compatriots."

"Well, after all, many mainland companies have poor foresight. Seeing everyone's crazy price increases, they will definitely rush to buy. We can only do our best to remind them."

Lin Zhengjie is very confident in the work of the two of them, so he will not get involved in person.

A house full of gold and jade.

The weather in February was still a bit damp and cold. Lin Zhengjie was sitting in the living room of his super yacht, accompanied by two women, Huo Wenxi and Fan Binbin.

Since he took in Fan Binbin last year, Lin Zhengjie fell in love with this young girl. He bought her a luxury house in Mid-Levels and gave her cash in Hong Kong, and directly supported her. Of course, Fan Binbin will still be in the entertainment industry, but from now on, she has Hong Kong capital as a backer. When Lin Zhengjie wants her to serve him, it is just a matter of a phone call.

"Boss, I'm pregnant!" Florence Hui said suddenly nervously.

She is already 32 years old this year and has been with Lin Zhengjie for seven or eight years.

When Lin Zhengjie heard this, he immediately put his hands on her black silk legs and said with a smile: "I thought you would be stupid enough to take birth control pills afterwards!"

When Huo Wenxi heard Lin Zhengjie's tone, she immediately happily took Lin Zhengjie's arm and said, "I'm not that stupid. You always asked me to take the medicine before, so let me take it. Since you met Bingbing, you never mentioned those things. I won't miss the opportunity!"

Fan Binbin looked at the two of them, wanting to understand how things would develop next, because of what she had learned. She had only been with this big boss five times, but every time she had a feeling that "this is the life a woman should live", so she understood why this man was so legendary.

"Then let others do the work and focus on having a baby. Don't be laughed at by people with a big belly!" Lin Zhengjie said nonchalantly.

A man is a young man until he dies, and he will continue to contribute to mankind. This is not a whim, but he has too much wealth and needs to share some.

Huo Wenxi immediately said in a little womanly manner: "Well, but I can't introduce you to a girlfriend in the future!"

Lin Zhengjie looked at Fan Binbin and said, "Bingbing can do it, right?"

Fan Binbin was stunned, and quickly said: "Well, I can do it."

How could she dare to refuse? Moreover, she felt that if the boss wanted to sleep with that woman, it seemed that there was no possibility that he would not succeed. In fact, she had just wanted to get to know the boss at the beginning, but she didn't expect that she would be captured during a meal.

This man always exudes a charming charm, and since he is rich and powerful, there is nothing a woman can object to.

Afterwards, Lin Zhengjie wrote a check from "Hengfeng Bank" and handed it to Huo Wenxi.

"Use it to buy a luxury house in Mid-Levels and shares of China Life Insurance for investment!"

Huo Wenxi took the check. It was not like she had never received one before, so it was natural. However, she suddenly looked at it seriously, and after a long while, she said, "Boss, did you add an extra zero?"

Fan Binbin also came over to look, and then started counting zeros. She and Florence Hui have a very good relationship. The two of them have served Lin Zhengjie together many times, and they have also been alone together many times in private.

"2 billion?"

Lin Zhengjie said nonchalantly: "This is just an appetizer. Give me a baby. If this baby is a girl, you must take good care of your body and have the next one."

Huo Wenxi immediately hugged Lin Zhengjie and bit him fiercely, then said happily: "Thank you, Boss Bingbing. Did you see that? You must seize the opportunity in the future to let the boss appreciate you. Then you can be as majestic as you want!"

In fact, after so many years with Lin Zhengjie, her net worth has reached hundreds of millions, or even 200 million.

But giving 200 million at once and also teaching investment is simply rich.

Of course, Florence Hui believes that she was not with her boss for money, but was completely won over by his charm, otherwise she would not even be a brothel owner.

Fan Binbin looked at Lin Zhengjie excitedly, her chest heaving. She had just told her boss that although she liked people, she liked money more because she was afraid of being poor.

After living in Hong Kong for a while, Fan Binbin realized how decadent and drunken life here is.

"I am very optimistic about Bingbing!" Lin Zhengjie said directly.

That’s right. If nothing had happened in her previous life, she would have always been Lin Zhengjie’s goddess.

Fan Binbin was immediately very happy and took the initiative to kiss Lin Zhengjie.

Life on a yacht is very happy, and of course a war will not break out so early. Everyone has a great time on the yacht!
In the following month, soybean futures prices were indeed pushed up and grew rapidly. In particular, in March, the U.S. Department of Agriculture once again announced that soybean production would be reduced, which caused soybean futures prices to continue to rise.

Of course, futures are a means for investors, so the reality is that the four major grain storages and speculators are driving up the price of soybean futures, which is more like a carnival in the capital market.

Bunge Group, New York, USA.

"President Hoss, many Chinese companies have started to buy our soybeans, and the price has reached US$500 per ton (about RMB 4100 per ton)."

Hoss, a Jew, was originally the president of an American oil company.

"Not enough. To attract more Chinese companies and cause a severe reduction in U.S. soybean production, we just need to raise the price to over $600 per ton! The more expensive it is, the more Chinese companies will rush to buy it, because they have very little soybeans!"

There is no pricing power and no dominant power. This is the situation of China's agricultural products.

Although China has a large area, its arable land is nothing in the world. On the contrary, the United States is not only advanced in science and technology and military, but also in agriculture. Not to mention, the world's four largest grain traders also control the grain exports of other countries. For example, Bunge is a soybean exporter in Brazil.

The four major grain traders basically control the entire grain supply chain, from the upstream to the midstream to the downstream. Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once warned the world: if you control grain, you control humanity. It is a bit of a joke to say that the four major grain traders control humanity, but their control over grain is an indisputable fact.

"Okay, I'll contact you right away!"

The subordinate said confidently.

This "soybean plot" is a collaboration between the world's four largest grain traders and the US government, with a number of speculators waving their flags and making threats. I believe China will definitely fall into the trap.

One day in early March, a well-known Hong Kong economic commentator wrote an article titled "Soybean Strategy" in Sing Tao Daily. As soon as this article came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The article points out that the rise in soybean prices is a conspiracy by the four major grain traders. First, the article points out at the beginning that "US soybean production is unlikely to decrease", then points out that the price of soybean futures is hyped, and finally points out that all the plans are to attract Chinese oil mills to buy high-priced soybeans.

For a time, it caused a huge sensation. Even the Xinhua News Agency noticed the news, reprinted it immediately, and invited the economic commentator to be interviewed.

When the news reached the mainland, the effect was obvious. Those who were originally ready to buy soybeans for fear that the price would continue to rise began to wait and see. Of course, there are still many people who sneered at it and continued to buy futures in large quantities because of the high profits from oil extraction.

But what is certain is that it is much less than the original history.

At this time in the United States, due to the decrease in Chinese buyers and the lack of follow-up from local speculators, the highest soybean price reached only US$530 per ton (futures).

If this continues, it is expected to collapse on its own and prices will continue to fall.

The four major grain traders suddenly became anxious. The effect was not as expected. They wanted to go to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Commerce to seek advice, but after all, the government had just spoken out. If the government spoke out again at this time, even a fool could see that it was too obvious.

For a time, the price of soybeans began to fluctuate.

"who is it?"

"Who is it?"

The four major grain traders searched for the cause and eventually discovered that it was the Hong Kong media that first raised the alarm. They immediately thought it was not good. (End of this chapter)
