Chapter 180 Flash Crash (Additional update)

Time slipped away quietly.

Before I knew it, August 17th came.

It is also the third day after the Yangcheng Feed Industry Conference.

Company A and Company B, among the four major grain merchants, cooperated and sent a purchase team to Shanmei City.

The acquisition team included Huang Changqing, CEO of Greater China of Company A, who had just attended the Yangcheng Feed Industry Conference, and Cord McCarthy, Business Investigation Manager of Company B.

When the two came to Magong Town hand in hand.

Jiang Miao did not come out to greet them, only Jiang Haibo and his assistant went to see each other.

Although the other party proposed to Jiang Haibo to meet with Jiang Miao at the feed industry conference, it was a pity that Jiang Miao had no interest in meeting the other party. After all, the two parties were destined to urinate in the same pot, so why waste their expressions.

If it had been before, maybe Jiang Miao would have put on a show and had a show-off with the other party.

Now he doesn't even want to act.

Instead of wasting time with the other party, you might as well use these hours to study technology or handle the company's official business.

Inside the temporary headquarters of Hailufeng Company.

Although Huang Changqing and Cord McCarthy, who had not seen Jiang Miao, did not have an attack on the surface, they were very dissatisfied in their hearts.

After all, when they revealed the name ABCD in the past, none of the private companies in Siris would bow their heads.

Now to be so slighted by a fledgling young man really made them feel uncomfortable and angry.

However, Huang Changqing still smiled on the surface. He looked at Jiang Haibo and asked: "Mr. Jiang, our company comes here with sincerity and goodwill. We hope to reach cooperation with your company."

"Mr. Huang, if you still have the same idea as last time, I don't think we need to continue talking." Jiang Haibo didn't care about the other party's attitude.

Does he know the strength and influence of Hailufeng Company at this time? In addition, the company does not have much direct international business. ABCD's arrogance in other places cannot shake the foundation of Hailufeng Company. On truffles, let Europe and the United States suppress Hailufeng Company.

If it was a year ago, if ABCD went all out, it might have a chance to suppress the development of Hailufeng Company, but now it is too late.

"Jiang, I think there is nothing that cannot be discussed. We are really optimistic about your company. How about 10 billion and 30% of the shares?" Cord McCarthy raised his glasses and said.

Jiang Haibo deliberately showed a surprised expression: "Oh? 30% of the shares for 10 billion U.S. dollars?"

"Huh? Jiang, I'm talking about Hua Yuan." Cord McCarthy cursed in his heart: Why don't you repay US$100 billion? You really don't know what to say.

"10 billion yuan?" Jiang Haibo sneered: "Do you know our company's revenue this month?"

Huang Changqing had already heard the unkindness and disdain in Jiang Haibo's words, but he did not get angry. Instead, he explained with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, you can't just look at the current profits, but also the future development. If you agree with our By taking a stake, your company's development in the international market will be very smooth, dozens of times faster than your own. This is the significance of introducing strategic investors."

"Haha, are you threatening me?" Jiang Haibo's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Huang Changqing's expression suddenly became cold, and his tone was full of confidence and condescension: "Mr. Jiang, you are a smart person. You should know that the international market is not that easy to deal with. We welcome friends to win-win, so I hope we can become friends. , rather than the enemy.”

"Then I will officially inform you today that we will only become enemies and you can get out." Jiang Haibo issued an eviction order without any politeness.

"You!..." This was the first time Cord McCarthy faced such an arrogant attitude, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

On the contrary, Huang Changqing's expression remained unchanged. He stood up with a sneer: "I hope you won't regret it."

"Haha, regret it? Do you really think you are alone? You are a piece of trash who relies on others' power!" Jiang Haibo directly ridiculed the other party's identity.

Huang Changqing's fist became hard. If he weren't in Hailufeng Company now, he would definitely punch the opponent in the face.

The group of people ran away in a hurry.

Look at the backs of these guys walking away.

Jiang Haibo thought to himself: 'I really can't hold back my anger. I thought I could take the opportunity to send them to drink tea for a few days, but these guys can't be arrogant for a few more days. ’

"Mr. Jiang, do you want to delete the video?" the assistant who was standing behind him reminded in a low voice.

"Delete it." Jiang Haibo didn't plan on the other party, so naturally he wouldn't leave the video.

Huang Changqing, Cord McCarthy and others who left Magong Town by car, their faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot as soon as they got in the car.

In particular, Cord McCarthy, a white supremacist, even yelled in English: "Damn bastards, Fake Squid! I will never let you go! Son of a bitch..."

"Okay, Cord, there's no need to be so angry." Huang Changqing took a sip of ice water to ease his irritable mood.

Cord McCarthy gritted his teeth: "Huang, we must report it to the head office and take revenge severely, otherwise they will think we are easy to bully."

"I know." Huang Changqing is not a generous person. After all, if he can endure being so insulted by Jiang Haibo, then he might as well become a Ninja Turtle.

Cord McCarthy raised his glasses and revealed a sinister sneer: "A large part of their profits come from eel fry and white truffles. We want the head office to come forward and lobby all parties to ban the sale of these products."


However, Huang Changqing frowned: "It's not that simple."

"You said the ban won't hurt them?" Cord McCarthy didn't believe it.

"Don't forget the re-export trade." Huang Changqing explained the key point in one sentence.

Cord McCarthy was awakened, and his reason once again occupied the IQ high ground. He reacted instantly: "Damn!"

Re-export trade is indeed a difficult loophole.

Even if the ABCD mobilizes power and spends a lot of money to lobby European and American parties, it cannot stand up to them because they are not completely united.

Especially white truffles and eel fry, which are of high value and very small in size, can avoid supervision whether they are smuggled secretly or re-exported through third-party countries.

After all, this is not engineering machinery, vehicles, ships, steel and weapons. The size and weight are very large, the profit itself is relatively low, or the product is very sensitive. Naturally, there will be no underground businessmen smuggling such things casually.

But white truffles are different from eel fry. If Europe and the United States ban the sale of these products, Southeast Asian countries such as Annam and Siam will definitely take the opportunity to engage in re-export trade, and even Mexico and Ottoman will secretly smuggle them to Europe and the United States.

The more banned this kind of thing is, the more likely it will arouse the greed of underground businessmen, who will now take desperate measures.

After all, smuggling guns, ammunition, contraband, etc. is a beheading business, and there are people who do it, let alone something like this that will not have serious consequences if caught.

Cord McCarthy and Huang Changqing thought hard, but the more they thought about how to deal with Hailufeng Company, the more they felt that this company was simply a freak and difficult to deal with through conventional means.

Suddenly, the timid Cord McCarthy suggested in a low voice: "Huang, where are your company's friends here? You can ask them to come forward. This Jiang Miao is the key to Hailufeng Company. As long as he is dealt with, Hailufeng Company will Will inevitably give in.”

"You think I don't want to." Huang Changqing was speechless: "The limelight has been too tight recently, and those people dare not come forward. In a year or two, when things calm down, maybe we can consider doing this."

"Are they afraid of a small private enterprise?" Cord McCarthy was a little angry.

Huang Changqing knew that Cord McCarthy was a little over the top, and quickly persuaded him: "It's not that I'm afraid! It's that the whole world is not peaceful now. When they do things for us, they also have to consider the risks. They can't risk their own lives to help us with the sea. Lufeng Company? They are not that stupid. Don’t cause trouble for yourself.”

Then he added: "Let Hailufeng Company be proud for a while. Sooner or later they will enter the world to develop business. At that time, we will let them know who is the boss of this world."

"Okay! I'll let them be proud for a while." Cord McCarthy finally calmed down completely.

However, the two of them drove their car near Bao'an Airport in Pengcheng. Before they arrived at the airport, they were interrupted by a phone call.

Inside a high-end business hotel in Pengcheng.

Huang Changqing, Cord McCarthy and others who opened the business private room no longer had the calm composure they had before.

They looked at the laptops and saw that the soybean futures prices in the major financial markets had been slowly falling since noon today.

At the Magic City Food Security Summit Forum a week ago and the Yangcheng Feed Industry Conference three days ago, many experts and scholars from Siris announced that in order to ensure food security and feed safety in Siris, they will increase their efforts in the next few years. The inventory size of various bulk agricultural products.

These include bulk agricultural products such as soybeans, corn, sorghum, alfalfa, wheat, and palm oil.

In the eyes of ABCD, this signal is obviously a disguised announcement that Siris will increase imports.

This has caused commodity futures prices of agricultural products from major institutions around the world to surge, rising by nearly 10% in the past week.

Among the institutions that have taken over high-level positions are ABCD’s financial subsidiaries. They didn't know that during this week's surge, some people had already made billions of dollars by buying low and selling high. This money turned around and began to frantically short the futures of these bulk agricultural products.

Starting today, the short forces have suddenly strengthened a lot. ABCD and other financial institutions in Europe and the United States can no longer afford short orders. This has made the market start to show a downward trend. Although the bull forces are still trying to maintain high levels, the short positions The power is too strong.

At present, the futures prices of bulk agricultural products in major futures markets continue to decline slowly amid fluctuations.

The short sellers who have prepared ammunition are not afraid and continue to short the prices of bulk agricultural products.

"Why is this happening?" Cord McCarthy frowned. He didn't understand why the short-selling forces did this.

After all, Siris announced an increase in the inventory size of bulk agricultural products, which is obviously good news. Why do short sellers dare to continue short selling?

Huang Changqing was equally puzzled: "What problem is there that we have ignored? It makes no sense!"

At this moment, a market researcher responsible for collecting the latest agricultural information opened his eyes wide and his pupils shrank rapidly. He stared at the screen of his laptop, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead involuntarily.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" His colleagues thought he was sick.

"Mr. Huang!" The man raised his head and shouted loudly.

Huang Changqing was startled and asked angrily: "Liangcai, why are you yelling?"

Read the original text in Liu#9@书/吧!

"Mr. Huang, take a look at this and come here quickly!" The man no longer cared about etiquette.

Although Huang Changqing was still a little angry, he did not get angry immediately, but walked over.

However, after taking a look at the report content on the laptop, he suddenly froze, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Huang, what's wrong with you?" Cord McCarthy also saw something was wrong with Huang Changqing.

"Huh..." Huang Changqing, who was almost exhausted, quickly sat down and panted, then rubbed his sweaty face again: "Something big happened..."

He continued to watch, and Cord McCarthy came up behind him and also saw the content of the news report.

The more they read the contents of the report, the more frightened the two of them became.

Cord McCarthy immediately picked up his cell phone and made an international long distance call.

"Dudu...Hey, Cord, it's so late, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Chairman, something big happened."

"What happened?"

"Serris has developed a soybean that can be grown on a large scale in the desert and has a very high yield. Currently, 350,000 acres have been planted."

"What? Didn't you say there was no threat before?"

Obviously ABCD's branch in Seris is not that incompetent. At least they have collected the plans of Hailufeng Company to develop the desert in Monan.

However, after reading the relevant report at the time, Cord McCarthy felt that this kind of project was most likely a trick to defraud subsidies, or was very costly and useless, so he mentioned it casually in the relevant report and did not let the investigators Investigate deeply.

After the soybeans were planted in June, not many people noticed it either.

It was not until the Monan branch of Hailufeng Company sold bean feed in large quantities that ABCD's commercial investigators noticed the incident and restarted preparations to investigate the project invested by Hailufeng Company in Monan.

However, before they could launch an investigation, two heavyweight events took place in succession, causing their executives in Greater China to forget about this matter and attend these two events in a hurry.

Now the initiative is no longer in the hands of ABCD.

Listen to Cord McCarthy explain.

The chairman of Company B on the other side of the phone roared angrily: "Corder! Is this how you manage your branch? Why did you ignore such important news? Do you know how much money the company will lose now? You deserve to die!"< br>


"Mr. Chairman, I..." Cord McCarthy couldn't argue.

Huang Changqing on the other side also made an international long-distance call to the chairman of Company A. After explaining the situation, he was also scolded bloody.

However, the situation has become unmanageable.

As the deliberately spread news articles quickly flowed around the world, those financial institutions that responded quickly stopped going long and turned around and started shorting.

The futures prices of international bulk agricultural products were like a waterfall flowing down three thousand feet. In less than an hour, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Soybean futures plunged 27%.

Corn futures plunged 22%.

Soymeal futures plunged 33%.

Alfalfa futures plunged 17%.

Wheat futures, cassava futures, rice futures, sugar futures, palm oil futures, and cotton futures all plummeted.

Obviously, the entire bulk agricultural product market was directly hit hard by the impact of Sendou soybeans.

Because in that official report, it was stated that a sandy desert with an area of ​​no less than 200 million acres would be opened up in the northeast, south and northwest of Seris as a soybean planting base.

If this kind of news were written by a tabloid seeking to catch rumors, it would naturally not have such serious consequences, but this news is an authoritative official report.

The mysterious force, which had harvested nearly 70 billion US dollars, quickly withdrew its funds. Although there will definitely be opportunities to continue short selling later, going too far is not enough.

ABCD reacted and quickly joined the short-selling ranks.

It's a pity it's no longer useful.

When the market is severely trampled, no financial institution dares to take over. Now whoever takes over will die.

Without financial institutions and large speculators to take over the offer, small businesses simply cannot take on such an offer.

ABCD looked at the high-priced contracts they were holding. No one wanted them even if they were sold at low prices. In just one hour, they lost tens of billions of dollars. Other financial institutions and large speculators who had been deceived before also lost hundreds of dollars. Billions of dollars.

Although the sudden change in the futures market has not been transmitted to the physical market in a short period of time, the future of the physical market will definitely not be easy.

Unless a large market with a population of more than one billion is willing to come forward to fish for food exporting countries, don't think about it now.

At this time, just sit at home and wait for the other party to come to your door.

In the business room, Huang Changqing and Cord McCarthy's faces turned pale. They finally realized why Hailufeng Company dared to humiliate them like this. It turned out that the other party had long been sharpening their knives and preparing to kill ABCD.

"What now?" Cord McCarthy was no longer as aloof as before, only frightened and decadent.

"Huh... what should I do? Let's wait for our board of directors to make a decision! The worst case scenario is that we will be fired." Huang Changqing suddenly thought about it. He finally realized that he was just a worker, so why bother worrying about the company.

Cord McCarthy opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Although he had a lot of stocks in the company, the company was gone, which actually had little impact on him. He had millions of dollars of property as a backing, as long as he didn't. Lang, you can basically have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.

The two are choosing to lie down and wait for the decision of their respective companies.

And their head office has been holding a video conference overnight to discuss how to deal with the next crisis.

However, Jiang Miao didn't care too much about this matter. He recorded their video conference and hid the secret overseas account that had soared to nearly 1.5 billion US dollars.

He plans to use this money as a reserve fund.

As for how to launder this money and enter the country, it is actually very simple. Set up several shell companies, buy Hailufeng Company's eel fry and white truffles at high prices, and then sell them to the international market at the original market price.

But this is not necessary for the time being.

Jiang Miao is still researching technology, but the domestic Internet is already completely abuzz.

Topics about Hailufeng Company, Xiandou Soybeans, and 200 million sandy land quickly rushed to the headlines of various portal websites.
