super energy power

In European and American countries, the concept of the central bank is very clear. It enjoys exclusive currency issuance privileges, formulates financial policies, and acts as an inter-bank clearing agency, etc., all of which are leading jobs in the financial field. , The government's bank" is the central bank.

The Bank of England in the City of London is a typical and original central bank. The main difference between it and the Central Bank of China is that it is a private bank and that it does not do what commercial banks do.

But on the most important financial attributes, the Bank of England and the Bank of China are consistent.Although China's foreign exchange reserves in 94 were not large, it still had the privilege of issuing trillions of dollars of banknotes every year. It was truly a central bank of a big country, and anyone could imagine tons of political and economic assistance.

Therefore, when Sioux City took the manager of the foreign exchange department of the Central Bank of China and introduced him to the people as the contact person of the National Bank and Dahua Industrial, a group of foreigners who didn't know the truth all looked shocked and envious.

After a while, the expressions of the foreigners slowly changed to take it for granted.

In the eyes of Europeans who don't know the inside story, it seems normal for a Far Eastern company that can attract attention in the world's financial center to receive the support of the Central Bank of the Far Eastern country.

In the eyes of Europeans who know a little bit about the inside story, it seems normal for the Central Bank of China, which is still doing commercial business, to become the main bank of Chinese enterprises.

As for those European guys who know China very well... Maybe they exist in a certain corner of the world, but they will definitely not appear in the futures trading hall in the City of London.

After just a few seconds, the greeting to Su Cheng suddenly became warmer.

"Su Dong, we still have remaining seats in IFC, if you want to use it, just let me know."

"Su Dong, the price of coffee has also risen a lot. This year is a good time to invest in coffee. The profit is more than ten times. Please pay attention when you are free."

"Su Dong, we are Lewis Financial Loan Company, with strong capital, we undertake guaranteed loans and credit loans..."

Tian Dongliang also woke up from his daze, grabbed Su Cheng in surprise and asked, "Su Dong, what are you doing?"

"Introduce you to the gentlemen of the City of London, come and say hello." Su Cheng waved forward.

Tian Dongliang waved his hand foolishly, attracting a friendly smile in front of him, which looked like a blooming human flower field.

Putting down his hands, Tian Dongliang woke up from the cute state, and said in surprise and anger: "Su Dong, you are too unnatural, if you want to let the country know, you have to take my skin off. No, no, no. , I have to introduce you."

Su Cheng patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "Are you the manager of the foreign exchange department of the Bank of China? Are you also our contact person in the Bank of China? Or, Dahua Industrial is not a customer of the Bank of China?"

"You're talking about the central bank." Tian Dongliang was a newcomer, and he was tricked by Su Cheng. It wasn't because he didn't have enough IQ, and he grasped the key right away.

Su Cheng said indifferently: "Bank of China is both a commercial bank and a central bank. This is determined by its own business model, not by me. If you want to explain it to everyone, then explain it."

Just kidding, if Bank of China does not operate as a commercial bank, Dahua Industrial has no possibility of becoming a customer.This point is clear even to foreigners.

However, even if the same words are spoken by different people on different occasions and at different times, the effect will be different.

If Dahua Industrial is just a weak manufacturing company, or a strong pure manufacturing company, no one will regard the central bank as its main bank.However, Dahua Industrial is an energy company, and it is a powerful energy company with a reputation, which is different.

There are not many countries and regions that have a pure central bank like the Bank of England, and the total number is far less than 0. There is no country that does not support large domestic energy companies.

Even on the other hand, there are very few large energy companies without state support.

Furthermore, if a large energy company can grow bigger and stronger without state support, there will naturally be state government ax to recruit it.Halliburton is an example. This American company with hundreds of billions of dollars in assets and branches in more than 180 countries around the world has voluntarily applied to relocate its headquarters to Dubai. Obviously, expensive taxes and public relations costs are more expensive than bribes. The Arab sheikhs needed much more.

Tian Dongliang's English is not bad, which is the level that can win English awards in the banking system. However, standing in the lobby of the London International Petroleum Exchange, Tian Dongliang is at a loss for words.

Forget it, just pretend you don't know what's going on.

Tian Dongliang bowed his head and became an ostrich. He now understands that Su Cheng's delay in withdrawing the money for more than half a month is a hush money for him.

Su Cheng was so happy, as if showing off, he walked around Tian Dongliang, and finally stopped by the trading pool.

This is also the most central and busiest place in the entire exchange.

In the trading pool surrounding the circular column, dozens of traders yelled loudly while stretching out their fingers, making various shapes, or with five fingers spread out and palms facing outwards, or palms facing inwards and hitting their faces, or thumbs Down, or thumb up, or make a fist, or pinch your fingertips...

There are two people sitting on the high platform next to the trading pool. They are like moderators, monitoring the market and confirming transactions.

Traders have electronic displays on their waists, from which they can receive various on-site or off-site orders, and traders complete the order transactions through gestures and shouts.

Generally speaking, it only takes a few seconds for a transaction to be completed and confirmed, slower than electronic transactions, but much faster than people think.

The traders in the field are all masters and apprentices, craftsmen who have been brought out from generation to generation, and they are very particular about integrity. If someone breaks the contract, there will be no one who is willing to trade with him, and the result can only be eliminated .

Tian Dongliang saw it immediately, and couldn't help saying in Chinese: "Is this the public outcry price of the London Stock Exchange?"

"Yes, have you seen it before?"

"There are also domestic ones, and there are also domestic ones." Tian Dongliang repeated twice, staring down, as if afraid of disturbing them, and said in a low voice: "Suzhou's exchange, Zhengzhou's, and Shanghai's metal futures exchange They all use manual bidding, but it's not so lively, not so...professional."

"It doesn't feel the same to ask the price in English and in Chinese, right?" Sioux Cheng was also surprised when he came here for the first time.

Even after [-], the trading method of manual outcry is still common in major exchanges in the world, especially in financial news. Calling a trader as the background is simply childish and ridiculous to those who don't know why.

However, it is in such a trading pool of more than [-] square meters that groups of naive and ridiculous traders who shout and scream like children affect the cost of living of most people in the world.Grain prices, feed prices, coffee prices, coal prices, steel prices, non-ferrous metal prices, commodity prices around the world are basically found in futures exchanges.

In the 21st century, even if you live in the mountains, you will not be immune to the influence of the futures market.The first thing to consider is the price of grain, whether it is rice, wheat or soybeans and peanuts, their prices are found in futures trading, and all condiments are also made into financial derivatives, not to mention bulk fertilizers and feed This is not the case for farm tools, cotton and wool textiles used to make clothes, and wood, channel steel, and screws used to build houses.Even locally produced cement and bricks and tiles are actually still affected by energy costs in production and transportation, and their transmission speed is often beyond people's imagination.

In Tian Dongliang's eyes, witnessing the operation of the bearings of the world economy has his own understanding.

He quickly fell into the memory, and said with a smile: "The first time I saw artificial bidding was when I was in school, watching the video. The internal video, I remember it was Nasdaq in New York, USA. I didn't understand it at that time, and everyone laughed. Yes, I have everything I said, and after visiting several domestic exchanges, I immediately noticed the difference, and now I am at the scene, and the feeling is even more profound.”

Tian Dongliang has studied finance all his life, and he was completely infected at this time, and said involuntarily: "Look at the electronic screen above the head, after the traders have reached an agreement on the transaction price and transaction volume, they will enter the data into the electronic system. And then it was shown on screens all over the world, and I didn't expect that we could also witness these prices being formed, which was great."

Su Cheng changed from a tour guide to a guided tour, and then turned back naturally, pointing his hand forward, and said, "Milton, the tall bald one is our trader. We've made a deal."

"Dahua Industrial bought a seat?" To enter the trading pool to make transactions, you first need a seat.

"Pan Asia Fund rented one." Su Cheng corrected a little.

"How much?" As soon as the words came out, Tian Dongliang said a little embarrassedly: "Professional habits, don't worry about me."

"It's not classified. The rent is about $1 a month."

Tian Dongliang was surprised, and said: "It seems to be quite cheap. It costs [-] to [-] yuan to rent a seat in China. How about buying one?"

"Crude oil seats are more expensive, more than 0 US dollars. Coffee futures are also very hot now. It is said that Brazil's coffee production is reduced. The seat is about 30 US dollars, but the monthly rent is only 1000 US dollars. Metal and sugar are cheaper, 15 About US$[-]. How about in China?” Sioux City is also a random price, because Pan Asia Fund does not need to stay on the exchange for a long time, and it is more convenient to rent a seat than to buy a seat.

Tian Dongliang works in the Bank of China, and he deals with people in the industry every day. He said casually: "The domestic futures exchange seats cannot be bought and sold, but can only be applied for. The fee is about 60 yuan. Individuals can't do it. It must be a futures company or a large one. Spot dealers, by the way, this year’s copper futures are very popular, the price of copper has risen from more than 2 to more than 3, and the seat price seems to have reached more than 1000 million yuan.”

"Copper price." Su Cheng scratched his forehead, he had no concept of this kind of information at all, if he could predict the news, the price would increase by 50, at least ten times the profit, and for a businessman with a relatively small plate, he would reach the sky in one step Not too much.

However, at the scale of Dahua Industrial, that is, a few trading pools such as crude oil can accommodate it all in.

Tian Dongliang quickly focused his attention on the bald and tall Milton.

There are a group of traders around this guy, I saw his two hands flying in the air, from left to right, and then from right to left to respond to other traders, but whenever the other party hesitated, he would quickly jump over, Trade with another trader first.

That action reminded Tian Dongliang of a one-to-many chess game - the masters roam the field, and every time they come to a chessboard, they will move without thinking, while on the other side of the chessboard, there is another chess player who is thinking hard. do the background.

"Is he constantly selling short?" Tian Dongliang could understand the movements of his hands.

Su Cheng nodded and said, "The money we prepared was spent here."

"This guy looks like a whale. Let's not talk about someone in front of him. There are dozens of companies?"

"There are still customers behind the company." Su Cheng nodded again.

Tian Dongliang took a breath: "You are against half the market."

"You already know." Su Cheng said with a smile, "However, you can see it clearly in the market where the price is artificially priced, right? There are multiple traders on the opposite side of a trader, and there are multiple transactions. The members are playing soy sauce, and the approval ratings of both long and short sides are immediately reflected."

Tian Dongliang looked blankly at the crowd in the trading pool. Milton was as energetic as a vulture. He kept selling crude oil in August, September, and October, which made people lose sight of the point. Just concentrating for 8 minutes will make you feel exhausted. It is hard for Tian Dongliang to imagine how these traders persisted over time.

He tilted his head, just in time to see Su Cheng's focused gaze, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you bring me here?"

"The country must also want to know this information. I originally wanted to write a report by myself, but I happened to meet Manager Tian. With your education background and work background, it seems more appropriate than mine." Su Cheng rubbed his chin, He said with a smile: "I will not ask to see your report, nor ask you to write any content, as long as it includes our work in London."

After a short pause, Su Cheng looked at Tian Dongliang's eyes, and said, "If there is no accident, not only the ministries and commissions, but also the State Council will be interested in this news, how about it? If you want, I will send someone to accompany you You do research."

"You can write whatever you want?"

"As long as the facts are true, you can write whatever you want." Sioux Cheng has no plans to change his nationality, and his company will not change his nationality. As a Chinese and a Chinese company, the biggest constant is imperfect laws and the best bonuses It is also an imperfect law. For Dahua Industrial, insider trading in the international futures market has absolutely nothing to do with breaking the law, and if foreign courts want to sue, the success rate is extremely low.

Tian Dongliang's heart skipped a beat.
