Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 632: Taking Advantage of the Midea Group

“Use lower capital costs, logistics and distribution costs, and promotion costs to operate the platform.”

Liang Yuxin forgot about love affairs at this time and focused on discussing the business model: "When I was studying in the United States, a senior executive of Amazon came to our college to give a speech on e-commerce, which included a discussion on the group buying model."

In fact, the group buying model was not proposed by Amazon.

As early as November 2008, Andre Mason founded Groupon, headquartered in Chicago. Groupon is the founder of the group buying website and is currently the largest group buying website in the world.

Domestic group buying websites all started by imitating the Groupon model.

"Uh"

I guessed this.

Yes, Liang Yuxin had studied in the United States before, and that period was also the most prosperous period for the Internet industry in Silicon Valley.

Even though the Internet wave eventually bore fruit in China, most of the innovative thinking came from the United States.

The domestic applications are just better.

"Please understand it this way."

Luo Yang didn't want to reveal ideas like market decline at this time, so he vaguely agreed with Liang Yuxin's point of view.

"I want to recruit people."

Liang Yuxin took the opportunity to put forward her own request: "The company originally followed the traditional e-commerce model and did not have professionals who understood group buying. Since you want me to stay and manage Pinxixi, you must meet my request, otherwise I can't support it alone."

"There are many half-dead group-buying websites in China now. If you want talents in this field, just poach them directly."

Seeing that she was willing to give in, Luo Yang agreed immediately.

"Also, the company's headquarters will remain in Yangcheng."

Liang Yuxin continued to put forward conditions: "Although I won't go back to Shanghai, you can't be a hands-off boss. You have to come to Guangzhou at least three times a month."

"During the company's early stages, there will definitely be a lot of decision-making and plan adjustments involved, so I will definitely come over from time to time."

At times like this, as long as the conditions are not excessive, Luo Yang will agree to them first.

"besides."

Liang Yuxin bit her lower lip and said, "Old Liang will definitely not let me drift outside forever. You have to help me once in the future."

Can you help me?
shield?
Luo Yang was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded: "Okay!"

He is no longer a college student who has to find a part-time job because his family is in debt. The monetization brought by his rebirth has already begun to show. If he is given another two or three years, the outline of his business empire will emerge.

By then, given his status and strength in the Shanghai business circle, Liang Xingmin would not dare to get angry.

"Mr. Luo, happy cooperation!"

Seeing that Luo Yang agreed to the three conditions she proposed without any discount, Liang Yuxin's mood also improved.

"Happy cooperation!"

Luo Yang held Liang Yuxin's soft little hand.

"How many days does Mr. Luo plan to stay in Yangcheng?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will go back to the Magic City tomorrow. After all, I have a lot of things to do at home."

"Then I'd like to treat you to a meal of authentic Cantonese cuisine tonight?"

"You've been in Yangcheng for more than two years. You must be more familiar with it than I am. I'll follow your arrangements."

Luo Yang smiled and said with a double meaning: "Just don't get me drunk before you stamp it."

Despite being teased like this, Liang Yuxin didn't show any embarrassment at all.

Instead, he looked at Luo Yang with a smile and said, "How about I get drunk this time and Mr. Luo stamps me all over?"

Knowing that Jiang Fan exists, he still teases me like this. What does that mean?
He had tearful eyes before, but it hasn't been long since then and he's active again. Could it be that his Ren and Du meridians have been opened?

"Hahaha"

Seeing that Luo Yang didn't know how to respond, Liang Yuxin burst into laughter.

"I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously."

I don’t know why, but when Miss Liang said this, Luo Yang didn’t feel relieved at all, but became more alert.

With such doubts, I ate dinner with trepidation.

"We can get 800 million in cash from the sale of the company this time. We can return the money to Gu Man first."

Fearing that Liang Yuxin would say something embarrassing, Luo Yang took the initiative to change the topic during the meal.

"I don't mind the itch when I have too many lice. I want to return the money to her later."

Liang Yuxin shook the red wine glass in her hand and said with a smile: "If she is really in a hurry, she can come to Yangcheng to find me. I will definitely give her more interest. I am just afraid that she dare not come!"

Luo Yang: “.”

"I was just joking."

Seeing Luo Yang's speechless expression, Liang Yuxin couldn't help but laugh: "I originally planned not to take the shares, but to sell the company to you at a discount, and then use the funds to go to the international crude oil market or the US stock futures to see if I can save enough start-up capital for my second business."

"You still play this?"

Luo Yang was stunned for a moment: "Although this thing can help you accumulate funds quickly, the biggest possibility is that it will leave you with nothing."

The international crude oil futures market and the rice stock index futures, which one is not a green field of leeks?

“I didn’t tell you everything.”

Liang Yuxin smiled and said, "Didn't I propose an acquisition plan before? No equity, just 3000 million in cash, first pay back Gu Man's 500 million, and convert the rest into more than 300 million US dollars, and play around with international crude oil futures or US stock futures. If I make money, I'll continue to play. If I lose money, I'll accept my fate and go back to marry someone according to Lao Liang's idea."

Are you planning to go all in?

"Whether it's the international crude oil futures market or the rice stock index futures, if you're not careful you can lose everything."

Luo Yang said seriously: "Miss Liang, I still suggest you not to play this."

"Although there are great risks, it is at least a way to make a comeback."

Liang Yuxin shrugged and said, "Don't forget, I am a graduate of Wharton Business School after all, and I have some understanding of the international financial market. Although I can't guarantee that I will make a lot of money, I am sure that I won't lose anything."

When she said this, her face was clearly filled with confidence.

"Oh?"

Because of the continuous discussion of this topic with Liang Yuxin, some memory fragments flashed through Luo Yang's mind, all of which were related to international crude oil futures.

The reason why these fragments of memory flashed back to my mind was related to an annual meeting.

In the year before his rebirth, Luo Yang's city company exceeded all its targets and won many annual awards from the group. He was also fortunate enough to attend the group's annual commendation conference.

At the evening banquet, he happened to sit at the same table with a manager of a fund company under the group. At that time, many real estate companies set up their own fund companies, whose main function was to package their own development projects for financing, and also to invest in the stock and futures markets.

It happened that the international crude oil market experienced great ups and downs in 12, and the thrilling game process also became a topic of conversation at the dinner table.

There are several time points that Luo Yang remembers most vividly.

The first one was at the end of April, when the price of WTI futures contracts in the New York crude oil trading market reached its peak of the year, with the price of a single barrel exceeding 4 million yuan. However, by mid-July, it suddenly fell to a low point, with the price of a single barrel even falling below 120 million yuan.

The second wave of ups and downs began in mid-July, with crude oil futures prices rising all the way until early September, when the price per barrel rose again to over 7 million yuan.

The third time point started from early September and lasted until the end of December, when crude oil futures prices slowly fell back to more than 9 million yuan a barrel.

What the manager described as thrilling was not the price changes between peaks and troughs, but the repeated fluctuations in crude oil futures prices during the process of the general trend falling and rising, causing countless small and medium-sized financial institutions to go bankrupt and lose all their money.

You should know that the minimum change in crude oil futures prices is 0.01 million US dollars, and the smallest unit of a futures contract is 1000 barrels. Therefore, only a single smallest fluctuation can result in a profit or loss of 10 million US dollars. If the international oil price fluctuates by 1 million US dollars, the profit or loss of each contract will be 1000 million US dollars!

More importantly, the institutions and speculators entering the market will allocate funds and increase leverage.

Just imagine that if the leverage is 20 times, instead of 1 times, and the oil price changes by 1000 million yuan, the profit or loss of each lot will not be 20000 million yuan, but million yuan.

以20倍为例，合约保证金是5%，即便按照100米元每桶价格来计算，每手原油期货成交价就是100（当前油价）*1000（每手1000桶）*0.05（合约价值的5%）=5000米元每手。

In other words, there is no need for a fluctuation of 1 million yuan, a fluctuation of 25 million cents is enough to cause a liquidation.

From the end of April to mid-July, oil prices fluctuated by more than 4 million yuan. How terrifying would it be if they fluctuated within this range?
If you are not a gambler or have a strong heart, you really can't play this.

"Luo Yang, you are not serious even when having dinner with me!"

Seeing that Luo Yang was in a trance, Liang Yuxin was a little annoyed.

Maybe this guy is thinking about another woman in his mind.

"Oh, sorry, I just thought of something."

Luo Yang came back to his senses and looked at Liang Yuxin with a flickering gaze: "You want to play international crude oil futures, right? Can you take me in to experience it?"

"what?"

Liang Yuxin was stunned.

She never expected that Luo Yang would suddenly make such a request.

"You want to play international crude oil futures?"

My immediate reaction was to shake my head: "Stop it, even I am trembling with fear when entering the market, at most I can use 3 to 5 times the leverage of the capital allocation, and you are playing this game when you know nothing, you should not waste money like this, you might as well just give it to me."

"Who are you looking down on?"

It is now approaching the end of April, and if Luo Yang remembers correctly, the price of the WTI futures contract in the New York crude oil trading market is about to reach its highest price this year.

If he enters the market to short sell now, as long as he delivers in the range of 7 million yuan or above in early July, he will make a profit!
"Let's do it tomorrow. It's Monday and the US market will open in the evening. I'll transfer funds during the day."

Luo Yang happened to have some Miyuan (export of sexy lingerie) in his hands. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to make money from Miyuan?
You know, he is very short of money now.

It’s not that they have no money. Both Zhengyang Group and Luoshentang had very good profitability in the first quarter.

But he also spent his money on many things.

Not to mention anything else, just the group headquarters building, because of an incident that occurred in the middle, the developer's capital chain was broken ahead of schedule, and the time for maneuver was shortened by one year, so Luo Yang had to consider giving up the acquisition.

Now it is acquiring Liang Yuxin’s e-commerce platform and setting up a content website. The follow-up investment in these two projects will not be small.

As for Anying, it will start to enter the comprehensive food industry in the second quarter, and the money it will spend in the next two years is not a small amount.

If it were just these, Luo Yang would still be able to support himself with the two cash cows in his hands.

The key is that in the next two years, Guangfan Wind Energy in Yang City will enter a period of large-scale investment, and he also needs to save money to enter the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry.
After all the calculations, it's really a bit stretched.

"Are you serious?"

Liang Yuxin was even more surprised when she saw that Luo Yang's eagerness didn't seem like he was joking.

"It's not real, is it cooked?"

Luo Yang curled his lips and said, "I was just a sophomore, but I was already so coveted by Lao Liang. It only took me three years to start from scratch and build such a large Lingshi Palace Group. Mr. Liang, don't look down on a genius like me!"

Well, Liang Yuxin was manipulated by Versailles.

But come to think of it, since the first day she met Luo Yang, this guy has been constantly creating miracles and refreshing her cognition.

Now he is sitting in front of her as a buyer.

"Okay, I'll show you the rules and how to play, but..."

Liang Yuxin paused here and said, "Even if you are a genius, you can't do it recklessly. After all, you are still in the beginner stage. You can spend a few million to buy experience, but don't become a gambler and lose the foundation you have worked so hard to develop."

"I know it well."

"Really?"

"Boss Liang, don't you still believe me?"

Liang Yuxin looked at Luo Yang for a long time with doubt.
The second half is the teaching class.

"International crude oil futures generally refer to US crude oil futures and Brent crude oil futures. Considering factors such as market capacity, most people will choose the US crude oil futures market to trade."

Even though she was Luo Yang's leader before, it was Luo Yang who taught her knowledge.

Even before this dinner, Luo Yang was already acquiring the company she founded, and this guy was actually no stranger to the world of e-commerce.

Now that she has switched to the financial field, it is her turn to be a teacher, and she feels a sense of accomplishment.

"If you want to trade international crude oil futures, you must first choose a financial company that has opened a trading account for this purpose."

Teacher Liang taught very seriously: "Of course, at the beginning, you'd better not use leverage because the risk is too great. When it comes to leverage, it depends on the conditions of each financial company and the credit of the account holder. Generally, for a newcomer like you, the minimum contract margin ratio is 5%, and the capital allocated to you will not exceed three times your principal."

When she said this, Liang Yuxin glanced at Luo Yang.

"Don't think this condition is low. A 5% margin is equivalent to a 20x leverage. Add three times the capital, and that's an 80x leverage!"

Teacher Liang "scares" Luo Yang: "Do you know what this means?"

"Any change will be magnified eighty times!"

Luo Yang is not a fool, he still understands such a simple truth.

He smiled and said, "Risk also means gain. Any profit will be magnified by a corresponding multiple under leverage, isn't that right, Mr. Liang?"

"hehe."

Liang Yuxin did not hesitate to hit him: "As long as you don't mind dying too fast, just increase the leverage. Don't use 80 times, just use 100 times or 400 times. It will definitely make you rich overnight. Do you want to try it?"

"let me consider it!"

Luo Yang touched his chin and began to think seriously.

How many times should I increase the leverage this time?
