Chapter 205 Taking advantage of the wind
The so-called Yangnan Gang, the main members are agencies related to the grain department of Yangnan City, such as the Grain Bureau, Materials Bureau, Grain Reserve, etc.
In addition, there are also some peripheral partners.
In recent years, the Yangnan Gang has relied on Yangnan City, the country's main mung bean producing area, and has been able to make huge profits every year by taking advantage of the Shangdu Futures Exchange.
How does it work?
Very simple.
The commercial exchange implements a physical delivery system, and they have a large amount of mung beans in their hands, so they mainly sell short.
Especially when the price of mung bean futures is significantly higher than the spot price in the market, there is no hesitation in investing hundreds of millions or even billions of funds to go short.
If the short position is in the right direction, close the position promptly and make a profit, everything will be fine.
But if the bulls are too strong and the short-selling direction is wrong, they will buy physical mung beans in Yangnan City and add the reserves in hand. When the delivery period comes, hundreds of large trucks pulling mung beans rumble into the exchange. The bulls are immediately dumbfounded.
.
We are here to make money, not to sell mung bean cakes. Mountains of mung beans are piled in front of us. Should we accept them or not?
After collecting it, there is no place to store it, so we have to rent a warehouse in Yangnan Gang and pay the rental fee on time every month.
Don't accept it, you can't accept it, it's a physical delivery system, the contract you buy and sell corresponds to mung beans, delivery is due, and they don't have the goods. Send the goods over, otherwise it will be your breach of contract.
Just ask this trick, is it disgusting or not?
As an opponent, do you feel aggrieved?
It is said that one trick can be used everywhere. From 1993 to the present, the Yangnan Gang has relied on this trick to make sure profits without losing money. It has used the Commercial Exchange as its own cash machine. Other major institutions have nothing to do with this group of local snakes.
Some people who are not convinced of the raised funds come in, but they often lose all their money and walk out helplessly.
The successive victories also led to a consequence. The Yangnan Gang became more and more courageous, and the number of open contracts increased exponentially with their courage.
Lin Baiyao's trip to the west this time is to solve this year's funding gap from this seemingly unsolvable situation!
"...Isn't this too shameless? The grain department personally engages in mung bean futures, and the exchange doesn't care about it?"
Jiang Hai's questioning was typical of incompetent rage.
In the 1990s, how many government officials were directors and managers of various enterprises. Under the national policy of promoting the economy for the whole people, the government is naturally within the scope of the whole people. Why should others eat meat and let others drink soup?
Therefore, the existence of the Yangnan Gang may be unreasonable, but it is absolutely legal!
Shen Chucheng said: "The Commercial Exchange is eager to increase the transaction volume as much as possible. It charges membership fees and handling fees. The existence of the Yangnan Gang has more advantages than disadvantages, so how can it interfere? Besides, this is not a problem of one province or one city.
, the whole country does this..."
Tang Xiaoqi, like Jiang Hai, didn't know much about futures finance, but he knew very well that a strong dragon would not overwhelm a local gangster. If he met a local gangster like the Yangnan Gang and kept talking about it, wouldn't that be a mental illness?
Even though he has extremely strong trust in Lin Baiyao, he was in Dongjiang, Yuezhou, and Suhuai after all. Now he has arrived in the Central Plains and is unfamiliar with the place. It is like throwing a polar bear into Equatorial Guinea. I am afraid that one hundred percent of his strength will be lost.
It can't be done successfully.
"What Brother Shen said makes sense, boss, I think we should think more about it..."
This was the first time Tang Xiaoqi had given specific opinions on his operation since he met Lin Baiyao.
From this we can see how much of a shock the Yangnan Gang has caused to everyone!
Lin Baiyao seemed to think for a while, then turned to ask Ye Sushang, "Ye Ye, what do you think?"
"The Qin Dynasty was so powerful, wouldn't it also fall at the hands of Liu Xiang? To deal with the Yangnan Gang, if we only rely on us, we will be doomed, but if we attack them in groups, there will be too many ants to kill the elephants, and there is still hope of victory. Regardless.
Whatever decision you make, I will support you."
Lin Baiyao smiled and nodded, but did not comment on whether her remarks were right or wrong.
Ye Sushang's exquisite thoughts asked: "Am I wrong?"
Shen Chucheng said: "This is the truth, but the Yangnan Gang itself is a coalition of interests, and the grain department is only one party on the surface. Behind them are several mysterious local big businessmen with a huge amount of funds in their hands.
They say billions, some say tens of billions. How many ants would it take to kill a body of this size?"
Ye Sushang majored in philosophy and had little interest in economics. Yu Jingzong only trained her as the successor of Yanzimen. Most of the business aspects were left to professional managers, and she was rarely involved.
Shen Chucheng continued: "Besides, the futures market is not a street fight. It is useless to rely on more people. The other side will wash the market and shake it twice. Those with small funds will either liquidate their positions directly, or they will be frightened and cut off their flesh and run away. These retail investors are like ants.
We can only fight against the wind, which is unreliable. Unless a giant comes that is several times larger than this elephant and kills it with money, otherwise... it will be difficult!"
Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "Brother Shen said it well. Indeed, the only thing that can defeat capital is capital!"
Everyone returned to the hotel while chatting, but before they could sit down, a man and a woman came to visit.
The man called himself Fang Xingai. He was the purchasing manager of a food company in the capital and came to Yangnan City to purchase mung beans.
He said that he received a call from the owner of the dealer where Lin Baiyao and others went before, and he wanted to raise the price on the grounds that another customer was buying mung beans at a high price.
So I came to negotiate with Lin Baiyao and others. If the quantity they wanted was not large, they could distribute a portion of the goods as appropriate, but they had to agree on a price alliance and not allow local dealers to benefit.
This is a common thing in the business world. Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "That boss is so unkind! We inquired about the price, and he offered a price that was a bit high. We didn't say we wanted it, we just said we would go back and think about it. Don't worry, Manager Fang. You can take it."
If I go to him with these words, maybe I can get the price lower..."
Fang Xingai said happily: "That's good, that's good. You are really an open-minded person. I would like to ask, where did your company make a fortune? Who may have the opportunity to cooperate in the future..."
"We are from Jiangnan Province and are planning to invest in setting up a pastry factory." Lin Baiyao's lies were smoother than the Three Gorges flood discharge.
Related varieties. I have to go to other cities in two days to have a look, so check out more. Don’t be in a hurry if you have the money. You won’t regret spending it..."
Fang Xingai said a few more polite words. After leaving the hotel, the woman next to him smiled disdainfully and said: "A few country bumpkins from the countryside are still picking at things when they have no money. As for you, you personally come to check the quality?"
Fang Xingai's face was calm and his demeanor was calm, completely different from the smooth philistine businessman he had seen in front of Lin Baiyao before.
He suddenly stopped and looked back in the direction of the hotel.
The woman also turned around in surprise, not seeing any suspicious movement, and said: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Fang Xingai withdrew his gaze, walked to the Jinbei van on the side of the road, opened the door and got in, sneered: "Country bumpkin? If you weren't my cousin, if your uncle hadn't lowered his face and begged me to take care of you, with your eyesight, you would have been there long ago.
It’s time to drive you back to your hometown to raise pigs.”
My cousin sat in the passenger seat and said angrily: "Those few people are so cowardly that building a pastry factory seems like a big project. Did I say it wrong?"
"Only if you believe what he says!"
Fang Xingai scolded: "This person didn't tell the truth. Of course, he should also be able to see that I didn't tell the truth..."
My cousin’s expression seemed to say:
Where do you put this matryoshka doll?
Fang Xingai said awkwardly: "It's not important! The problem is that at this critical moment when we are about to have a decisive battle with Yuezimen, a guy who is not a mung bean-related company suddenly appears to buy mung beans when it is not the season when mung beans are ripe. I
But I can't tell whether he is an enemy or a friend, and I can't even find out his background..."
My cousin disagreed and said: "Those idiots at Yuezimen have made money too easily these years. They are so arrogant that they think they are the king of heaven. They don't know that the disaster is coming and they are not aware of our secret acquisition. I dare say that this person is absolutely
It’s not from the Yuezi Sect. Otherwise, with their power in Yangnan and the grain department as their helpers, wouldn’t they just cut off our purchase? Why would they want to play such a trick?”
Fang Xingai finally looked at his cousin with praise and said: "Having said that, I hate any unplanned changes. Cousin, this transaction is of great importance. I will be responsible for coming to Yangnan to acquire it. If it cannot be completed,
How do I explain the mission to Boss Mei when I get back?"
When it came to Boss Mei, the irritating cousin immediately calmed down a lot. She seemed to be deeply afraid of this man and said: "Brother, I think you are under too much pressure and are a bit unfounded..."
"Be careful, it's always right. If these people have ulterior motives, they will probably stay in Yangnan. Find someone to follow them from now on. Find out who they come in contact with and what they did...
"
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
…
Inside the hotel.
"People are gone?"
Lin Baiyao looked at Tang Xiaoqi quietly pushing the door in and asked with a smile.
"gone!"
Tang Xiaoqi was following Fang Xingai and the two from a distance just now, and was almost discovered by him. He said: "This person is definitely not some bullshit purchasing manager. He is very alert. I can almost smell the mountain smell on him..."
The mountain is naturally the Taihang Mountains.
However, Lin Baiyao stopped him from continuing. Ye Sushang still didn't know that Tang Xiaoqi was from Taihang Mountain, so he kept it from her for now, so there might be surprises in the future.
"Pack it up and we'll leave Yangnan immediately!"
"ah?"
"ah?"
"ah?"
Jiang Hai didn't mention the question mark faces of the three black men. It was normal for him not to understand. Shen Chucheng said curiously: "It's still early. I'm going to take Mr. Lin to visit a few more places..."
"No need, I have gained a lot today. I have got the information I want. For other things, I will discuss it in detail with Brother Shen when I return to Yuezhou."
Lin Baiyao didn't explain too much to Shen Chucheng. He was just a trader recommended by Yu Jingzong and could be trusted, but he was not one of his own.
Ye Sushang frowned slightly and said, "Then why did you leave so hastily? Are you worried that those two people will cause danger to us?"
Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "The danger is not that great... If I guess correctly, they are not enemies, maybe, they are our allies. But I don't plan to get too close to my allies. It's best not to let them know that we have ever known each other."
