Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Tokyo is short of copper, but Europe is not.

This is thanks to a very cold joke, because the European economy has gradually entered a cold winter after the outbreak of the European debt crisis. Without demand, there would be no production capacity.

The five PIIGS countries, led by Ireland, Portugal, Italy and Spain, used various methods to borrow money to maintain high welfare, and at one point the debt ceiling exceeded the total GDP.

When Hillary Clinton was the first to collapse under pressure, developed economies led by Hans and Gaul were once puzzled as to why they had to rescue the above five countries.

I can't understand why Sheila was trying so hard to join Ou Meng.

Now I understand that before Sheila joined Oumeng, she borrowed money from the international market with her own credit, with an interest rate of over 18%. Because borrowing money was fun, she kept borrowing money.

After joining Oumeng desperately, Oumeng Eurozone provided it with a guarantee, and the interest rate suddenly dropped to 3%. Now it can borrow as much as it wants!

Without debts borrowed out of thin air, how can there be high welfare social security?

By the time the crisis broke out in 2010, little Hillary Clinton had borrowed more than 2200 billion euros, and she looked like she would die if she was not rescued.

Hans said at the time that it didn't matter whether he loved it or not, at worst he would give up the free access trade facilities in the Hilla area.

Sheila laughed and her true colors were revealed: Brother, guess who lent me these 2200 billion euros?

Hans thought it was not good, he checked again and found that the sky was falling, the money lent to Sheila was all from Hans, Gaul and Daiying financial institutions, and they refused to pay it back, so their own financial system exploded first.

Then, a certain industry in Ireland plummeted by more than half, the Portuguese economy went bankrupt on the spot, and even Italy, the third largest economy in continental Europe, almost exploded on the spot.

By the way, the overall collapse of a certain industry in Spain resulted in hundreds of billions of euros in bad debts in the country's financial system. By this time, the PIIGS countries had completely dragged down the entire European economy.

The three powers, Hans, Gaul and Daiying, were forced to use their own credit to issue more than 1 trillion euros to inject into the above-mentioned economies, while requiring all countries to adopt unprecedented austerity policies.

In order to ensure that the debt ceiling can be controlled, countries have no choice but to comply. Now two years have passed, the debt scale has been controlled, but at the same time, the economy has collapsed.

Because as the hollowing out of America's industries has spread, most of the world's economies have been fooled. After losing the debt-financial stimulus, the five PIIGS countries can't grow, and it's the blessing of their ancestors that they don't regress.

Only Hans, Gaul (this one will be coming soon), Jiaobenji, Dongda and San Ge are the very few economies that still maintain manufacturing as their core foundation and are not affected by the so-called economic cycle.

However, dragged down by the decline of the PIIGS countries, Hans' economy experienced a rare low growth (after losing the cheap energy supply from the big cats, it began to grow negatively). Its industrial chain, which is dominated by manufacturing, was forced to cut demand for key raw materials such as copper.

When Qingyun approached Hans to try to cooperate, Hans Domestic Manufacturing Group was having a headache about how to complete this year's copper quota production and procurement contract for well-known reasons.

European companies hold a large number of copper mining rights. Logically, one is short of stock, and the other is worried about how to use up idle production capacity. They should hit it off and reach a cooperation.

But the reality is often illogical. Faced with the allies who just fought side by side in the battle to defend the pound, the next step is to develop a strategic partner in global crude oil and energy cooperation.

The first reaction of the European and American mining groups was to make a sharp cut and put forward a lot of unreasonable demands, even asking Qingyun Group to promise to create 40 to 60 new jobs in Europe.

That is, Qingyun Smart Life Service Group (food delivery, online car-hailing) must deliver on its promises in designated economies as required. It also requires Qingyun Electronics and Nokia to jointly invest and set up factories in Hans, Gaul and Daiying.

Not only that, Hans also personally came out to greet and asked Qingyun Semiconductor to cooperate with Infineon and jointly invest in a new semiconductor 12-inch wafer factory with Hans holding shares.

The initial planned total investment is US$125 billion.

(Yangcheng invested $100 billion in semiconductor industry of the same scale, but only $65 billion was actually used for projects. The investment in the same industry in Hans is equivalent to twice that in China, and operation, maintenance and production are very expensive.)
In return, Qingyun promised to help Infineon expand its market share in automotive electronics products within Dongda. In short, there were a lot of additional conditions.

After hearing this, Li Zehua was furious. Infineon had invested in setting up a factory in Dongda because of its low cost and mature industrial chain. Dongda's production and shipping back to Hans, plus tariffs and logistics costs, was several times cheaper than producing locally (for similar products).

Infineon's shareholders and investors are crazy about making money.

Qingyun was required to go to Hans for production and bear most of the expenditures and subsequent operating costs, but the management rights and technology research and development belonged to Infineon. This was purely taking advantage of Qingyun!

"There is no other way. Who helped Oumeng to successfully survive the pound crisis? Daiying was not completely taken over by American capital. Within Oumeng, the spokesperson for American capital's interests could not handle the situation alone.

It won't cause any trouble at all. After Hans Gaul recovers, he will do his best to suppress us for the sake of protecting his own interests."

With such a big incident, Lin Wenhui rushed back from Yanjing, and before he could even take a sip of tea, he continued, "This is probably not the final solution, in order to force us to compromise.

Ou Meng will continue to exert pressure in Africa and South America. It is estimated that the news sent back from Congo will not be too small, and it is possible that even the remaining balance of the contract will not be executed. "

Li Zehua suppressed his temper and said, "What went wrong? Why didn't the State Reserves Bureau and we notice anything? Why did more than 170 million tons of inventory disappear inexplicably?

It's really weird. As soon as the document was issued from above, the people below were eager to move the goods out. More than a quarter's worth of inventory was left in less than a month?

If they hadn't discovered it in time, would they have let the rats starve to death in the warehouse?"

He had the right to lose his temper because Qingyun had a full 12 tons of copper stored in the Jinshi Free Trade Zone. He only found out today when he checked the inventory on site that it had also flown away inexplicably.

When asked, the locals knew nothing. No one knew who signed in the name of Qingyun, who took the goods away, or who paid the money. It was simply ridiculous.

It's quite particular. They didn't steal but bought it at the market price. The money was transferred to the account published by the bonded area, waiting for Qingyun to get it. If it were another company, Qingyun might have suffered a loss.

However, right now, foreign capital is creating a nationwide copper shortage, and the July delivery futures contract has already risen by 7% cumulatively. It is unknown how much it will rise further. Qingyun certainly will not choose to swallow its anger.

We are arranging for people to fully engage in the investigation and we must find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Of course, more importantly, we must recover the 12 tons of finished copper.

Lin Wenhui looked regretful. "It's all my fault. In order to save storage and logistics costs, I stored the copper in the bonded area..."

"Okay, this is a common cost-saving behavior in the industry, and it is also the result of collective discussion by the board of directors. I don't blame you. There is no need to take the blame yourself."

Li Zehua waved his hands, not blaming him at all. Copper was troublesome to transport and took up space. Not only did it waste money to find a place to store it, but it also wasted time.

It is better to put it in the bonded area. The storage fee is only a few dollars per ton. With the help of customs officers to watch over it, there will be no problem in theory. Besides, copper plates and copper coils weigh several tons. It would be a miracle if they can be lost.

When you need to use the goods, you can take the customs declaration form and other supporting documents, arrange for a vehicle to tow them directly to the manufacturing company where the order was placed, sign and make the payment. It is convenient and simple for both parties.

But no one expected that one day the goods would be sold directly without going through the owner. When Li Zehua heard the news, he thought someone was playing an April Fool's joke on him.

I was still shocked the whole morning. Billions of dollars worth of goods were sold without even a word?

They are simply fooling Qingyun as if he were a three-year-old child. There is nothing fishy here. Li Zehua would rather take off his head and let people kick it like a ball.

However, things have already happened, there is no point in complaining, and the top priority is to deal with the problems that have been exposed.

"Let Zhou Shouyuan and Zhou Wanhao handle the European affairs. Let them ask for a high price, and we will just pay them back. Humph, these ruthless and ungrateful people will be punished soon."

Li Zehua finally calmed down and urged the Libao Group to work harder and prepare to make some progress in Congo and Luwanda.

In the International Village Sports School, those hundreds of tanned kids should be taken out for a walk to show off their training results. As for the other one who was beaten, they were also students trained in another sports school in the same area.

What does that have to do with Guan Qingyun!

They signed the contract but didn't do the job, and they didn't give any compensation. Who gave them the face not to send someone to arrest all the culprits and stuff them with peppers? Li Zehua was very angry.

Even if they have to pay a higher price for it, even if there will be corpses everywhere in the future, Qingyun and Li will never frown. Because from the moment it (Congo) chose to sell out Qingyun for the sake of profit, there was no friendship between the two sides anymore. Qingyun's lost face must be washed away with blood!

A multinational corporation that has been beaten but dared not fight back and is just hanging its head on its own had better go home and feed its children as soon as possible, because from now on its reputation will be ruined and anyone can dare to take a bite.

Because they are sure you don’t dare to do anything!
Only by using the most ferocious and cruel means and retaliating at the fastest speed, will the other parties be afraid and understand what it means that large multinational corporations cannot be insulted lightly!

"We need to show our muscles to these people and use our fists to tell them that times have changed. Damn, don't give me a chance, or I'll send them plumbing to the sky!"

Mr. Li, who was annoyed by a series of bad things, decided to teach Hans a lesson. If he didn't have the strength, he should have kept a low profile. No wonder he was beaten by the American capital by holding his head down and targeting his vital parts.

If it wasn't for buying time for the development of the University of Tokyo, he really wanted to follow the American capital and overhaul Hans Chemical Energy and Manufacturing.

Although he cannot completely turn against them at the moment, it does not prevent him from finding some fun for certain people in Congo. After all, if they dare to jump out and bark, they will be hit on the head with a stick.

As for Peru, because there is a consistently good foundation for economic cooperation and the core interest in port construction, they can negotiate. Although they are taking the opportunity to ask for a high price, it is better than Chile slamming the door to negotiations.

As for the Chilean gang, there is no need to talk about them. Qingyun's action team is looking for an opportunity to sneak in. From signing to execution, one by one, they will be counted. Next, they will make continuous arrangements to try their luck.

Anyway, there are vehicle accidents, sudden fires, elevator failures, suddenly fallen trees and billboards, out-of-control trucks, and helicopters that take off with defects due to missing screws.

I will make sure that every dog ​​raised by the family members who took money to do the work will not be able to live in peace. The cruel revenge will continue in the local area until the normal supply of copper ore is restored...

Lin Wenhui was stunned when he heard this. "These are just distant water that cannot quench nearby fire! What's more, if a fire really breaks out, what if we go long on crude oil futures and Ou Meng doesn't cooperate?"

Li Zehua sneered, "That's even better. Dongda and American capital will join hands to divide up Oumeng's resources. Hans will never rise again. It would be great to take this opportunity to solve a major problem!"
Remember, the one who is most eager to short energy prices is Europe and the United States, which are in the midst of an economic winter. It is the chicken in the basin whose economy is about to collapse, not us who are continuing to grow at a high speed!

Economic development to a country is like that to a person: white can cover up a hundred flaws, black can ruin everything. As long as the economic development is fast enough, any trouble can be temporarily suppressed!

Dongda has a choice now, but Oumeng, which has been targeted by American capital, is destined to have no choice!
Either you hand over all your resources to American capital to recover your losses and become a new economic democracy, or you can only fight to the death and fight your way out. There is no third way to choose!

So when the crude oil futures plan starts, Hans will take the initiative to seek peace no matter what, but during the six months in between, we must rely on our own strength to solve the problem. "

"Boss, Europe is too far away, and the energy futures war cannot be started without half a year of preparation. The situation we are facing now is even more dangerous!
Once the confidence in the copper supply chain market collapses, all kinds of capital will rush in and take a bite.”

Gu Shijie listened for a long time and said worriedly: "The biggest problem now is that 170 million tons of copper in the National Reserve Bureau's inventory was quietly taken away by someone within a month. This would not have been possible without internal help.

Moreover, there must be someone within the company who assisted in the sale of the 12 tons of copper in the Jinshi Free Trade Zone. Even the entire management of the Jinshi branch may have been involved in covering it up.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why so much copper disappeared out of thin air."

“Let Liu Zijie investigate, and let Wang Chenglin come back. I still don’t believe it. That’s where he started his business. There are so many food delivery couriers and online car-hailing drivers. Didn’t any of them see what happened?
There is definitely someone below who is deliberately concealing the truth and intercepting information in an attempt to get away with it. Now the attitude of Jinshi is very ambiguous. The hard cap is not in line with the group's long-term development plan, but as long as the problem can be found and conclusive evidence can be obtained.

All parties would absolutely not dare to be overly partial. As long as the 12 tons were recovered, plus the 30 tons from the State Reserve Bureau and the 10 tons that Zhou Shouyuan could solve, there would be more than 50 tons in stock.

The futures market cannot be saved, but at least we can buy one and a half to two months of time. As long as the external environment improves, the losses will be within a controllable range.

Money is not important now, market confidence is the most important, and we must not cause a big mess that affects industrial upgrading! This is the bottom line of principle!"

Li Zehua waved his hand and made the decision immediately.

However, Lin Wenhui said: "Boss, have you forgotten that the company still has 35 tons of copper in the Magic City Free Trade Zone, plus the three-month inventory reserved by the manufacturing company below in accordance with regulations.

If we gather together, it will be no problem to get more than 100 million tons. We can't give up the futures market. It's such a big piece of fat meat. If we can do it well, we can get a net profit of or billion."

Li Zehua's eyes widened. "There are still 35 tons of copper in the bonded area of ​​Shanghai? Where did it come from?"

Sun Tongyu, who was in charge of import and export affairs, was obviously stunned for a moment, "Didn't you ask to buy it as a reserve stock?
Previously, the Shanghai Free Trade Zone had maintained an inventory of 60 tons, and Tianjin had 20 tons. By the way, the Pengcheng Free Trade Zone still had 30 tons, but due to strong demand in recent months, many people have taken delivery.

There are only 35 tons left in Shanghai and 17 tons in Shenzhen. I had thought that after this month, I would replenish my inventory in large quantities when negotiating prices in the second half of the year, but I never expected that the external environment would suddenly change so drastically. "

When we consider issues, we always decide based on the changes in the actual situation and do whatever is beneficial.

Storing copper in a bonded area saves shipping and storage costs.

Copper purchases are determined based on global economic growth demand. The US economy is tepid, and Europe's economic stagnation has led to a significant decrease in demand for industrial products.

Therefore, according to normal developments, copper prices should fall in the second half of the year. The two major buyers, Qingyun and the State Reserves Bureau, are both lowering prices while reducing current purchases, forcing sellers to cut prices.

At the same time, Dongda Capital also purchased a large number of medium- and long-term short positions in copper futures in the international market, and this round of opportunity was seized by US capital and hot money from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Cut off a large piece of cake.

The Qingyun Investment Team, which was in charge of the operation, gradually resisted the temptation of a large amount of long funds entering the market according to the internal data provided by the group, and then prepared to take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Unexpectedly, the State Administration of Reserves made a big news. A large amount of copper in stock was sold secretly without anyone noticing, allowing the bulls to take advantage of the opportunity.

Fortunately, Qingyun Investment withstood the pressure. The group has nearly 70 tons of copper (on paper) in the bonded area, plus the remaining 30 tons from the State Reserves Bureau, totaling more than one million tons.

It can meet the demand of related domestic industries for nearly four months (with copper being continuously shipped back as per the contract) and this is the reason why they insist on short selling.

Li Zehua didn't pay much attention to this at first, until something weird happened in the Tianjin Free Trade Zone, and then he came to his senses. This was a surprise attack and revenge carefully designed by American capital!

"More than one million tons, if used properly, can really play a stabilizing role. Mr. Sun, please go down and find out the copper inventory in the warehouse of our friendly company.

In order to check the physical objects, all warehouses must be thoroughly checked at the same time to find out the natural consumption in the next few months. If there is no problem, the company will have to fight another tough battle.

Oh, right. "

Li Zehua stopped Sun Tongyu who was about to go out to call for help, "Immediately arrange for someone to keep an eye on the copper in Shanghai and Pengcheng Free Trade Zone, even if it costs some money to move it to a safe location.

I can't stand being forced to buy and sell again."

But today he was destined to be possessed by a crow's mouth. Just as he finished speaking, Sun Tongyu's phone rang. When he answered it, he was stunned for a moment, "What, someone is holding a delivery note from somewhere.

Are you planning to forcibly take away the copper stocks in the bonded area of ​​Shanghai?"

Before he could finish, his phone was snatched away by Li Zehua who rushed over and shouted angrily: "No matter who is on the other side, even if the king of heaven comes in person, no one is allowed to pick up the goods!
I said! If you lose a pound of copper today, don't come back, just jump into the sea and apologize!

What, there are more people on the other side? You can't stop them?

Damn it, who the hell is looking for death and wants to compete with me in terms of numbers in the Magic City?"

Li Zehua was extremely angry, "Zhang Tao, where the hell have you been?"

Zhang Tao, who was meticulously guarding the door, pushed the door open quickly when he heard the noise. He swore that he had never seen such an angry boss before, his eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone!

"Call everyone who can move and go to the bonded area immediately!" (End of this chapter)
