Chapter 104: War without smoke
Every company is waiting for money.
Guo Yang was not in a hurry to cultivate new seeds. Taking Xie Shijie with him, he rushed to the capital in a hurry.
The soybean futures market in 2003 could not be more suitable to be summed up with its ups and downs.
Before August, even beans oscillated in a wide range, and the competition between long and short was quite fierce.
Then, under the influence of a series of news, the continuous bean contract rose from 2,420 yuan/ton to 3,499 yuan/ton, an increase of 1,079 yuan, an increase of 44%.
It was not until early November that adjustments were made due to policy intervention.
Weiguang Company began to gradually build long positions in October, making little profit.
But Guo Yang’s 50 million US dollars in overseas accounts had been opened through a Hong Kong company as early as the first half of the year.
Low-key lurking in the Chicago futures market in the United States.
The financial market is full of swords and blood, and large amounts of money entering the market will inevitably attract attention.
Although Guo Yang is aware of the general trend, he is also afraid of being attacked by financial oligarchs.
So, he never expects to make a big difference with his small things.
Yang Cheng is also a middle-aged man who seeks stability.
The benefits provided by Weiguang Company are generous. Except for the lack of autonomy in the financial market, everything else is good.
In this case, Shimmer has always managed risks.
However, in the past few months, Hong Kong Island companies have achieved substantial growth.
Just like a parasite lurking on the giant crocodile, it is constantly absorbing nutrients.
Beijing.
The wind blew across the earth, rolling up a thick layer of dust. Sand and stones flew all over the sky. Some trees were rustled, and the air was filled with a choking yellow sand. .
Xie Shijie came to the capital for the first time. Seeing the situation similar to that in the northwest, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect the sandstorms in the capital to be so severe!"
The driver said: "This is not a big deal. , The sandstorms are not severe until March and April. The wind is howling, and the flying gravel hits the car with a clanging sound."
"Boss, do you think the dust comes from the people? What about Qin? "
"Of course there is. With the help of high-altitude air flow, sand and dust can reach areas tens of thousands of miles away. You may encounter sand from Minqin on Laomei's territory. . ”
The business car drove all the way to the office of Weiguang Company against the wind and sand.
General Manager Yang Cheng had been waiting below the office building early. When he saw Guo Yang and Xie Shijie approaching, he had a flattering smile on his face.
“Boss, Mr. Xie.”
Guo Yang covered his mouth and nose and nodded.
Yang Cheng has done a good job in the past year and has fully played his role as a tool man.
It is still the same office area, low-key and simple, and it is completely impossible to tell that this is a financial company with a revenue of hundreds of millions.
There are quite a few employees, around twenty, and the company's main business is stocks and futures as well as other wages.
When Guo Yang came in, he could still see the relaxed working conditions of the employees, but he didn't say anything.
The nature of Weiguang Company makes it difficult to stay busy.
Sitting on the boss's chair, Guo Yang picked up a stack of newspapers from the table, while Yang Cheng was busy mixing tea and water.
Grain and Oil Market News, Futures Daily, International Business News, China National Times, etc., there is a dazzling array of news.
Guo Yang browsed briefly and had a good idea, so he arranged work for Yang Cheng.
"Wei Guang and Hong Kong Island Company each close some of their positions!"
Yang Cheng's hand shaking when pouring water couldn't help but shake,
"The demand for soybeans in the international market is strong. The soybean production in the United States is reduced, and the fundamentals are in short supply. Soybeans are still a long market!”
“The northwest needs money urgently, about 60 million yuan”
Yang Cheng said: "It is enough for Weiguang Company to close part of its position. It will be more troublesome for Hong Kong Island funds to enter the country."
"Hong Kong Island companies must also be prepared, and then they will enter the country in the name of investment. "
"What to invest in?"
"The soybean industry may have opportunities." Looking at the still confused expressions of the two people, Guo Yang took out a few newspapers and started drawing with a pen.
Yang Cheng took a closer look,
First, in recent years, my country has imported about 10 million tons of genetically modified soybeans every year, mainly used to produce salad oil. Currently, more than 50% of the soybean salad oil on our country’s tables is genetically modified. food.
Article 2: The genetically modified policy implemented in January 2002 is an effective national policy to regulate soybean imports.
Article 3: Countries across the ocean are wielding tariffs and quotas.
Yang Cheng touched his forehead, and Xie Shijie also came over, but both of them were a little confused.
What's the chance?
Although liberalizing the import of soybeans is negative for the domestic futures market, given the fundamentals, can it still turn against Tiangang?
Guo Yang was not surprised either.
In fact, even the management departments have little contact with the operation methods of large international grain merchants and capital. Or maybe you know that others are up to something bad, but you don't have a good way to deal with it.
As for the companies in the soybean industry chain, many have interests in imported soybeans.
At this time, the Chinese people’s understanding of GMOs was limited to some media reports.
Yang Chengcheng was confused, "I have also read reports. The international community has not yet concluded the safety risks of genetically modified products."
Xie Shijie followed and looked at Guo Yang.
"Does the boss know the dangers of genetic modification?"
Guo Yang spread his hands. The two of them didn't understand what he wanted to express at all, and they didn't bother to explain, so they talked nonsense.
"If you eat too much genetically modified cooking oil, you won't be able to match the paternity test in the future."
The two were stunned for a moment.
After a while, Yang Chengcai asked: "Can the genes be transferred back by eating the blended oil?"
Guo Yang was choked when he was about to drink tea, TND What a talent, this reaction is really good.
At the same time, he looked up and down,
This Yang Cheng looks very honest, could he be cheated?
……
Magic City, Lujiazui.
Yihai Group, established two years ago, is a fairly low-key company, but its factories are spread across the country and has gradually grown into the largest grain and oil processing group in the country.
However, the controlling shareholders behind it are American ADM and Singapore Wilmar International Group.
ADM, a grain giant that is more like an oil company, is one of the four largest grain merchants in the world.
Together with Cargill and Bunge, Louis Dreyfus controls the global grain trade.
The Eagle Guardian once described the four major grain merchants this way - "As long as you live in the world, it is impossible to get rid of the four major grain merchants."
Whether it is the incidental politics to Europe after World War II Conditional food aid;
United food embargo on former polar bears;
The tragedy of genetically modified soybeans in South America;
The collapse of the rice market in Southeast Asia;
Or the food crisis in the next few years, the fire of revolution burned on the Arab captain, Haiti, Somalia, Asan and many other countries There were also riots.
Even the four major grain merchants are behind the war between polar bears and Ermao.
After a large amount of agricultural products from grain-producing countries such as polar bears flowed into the market, the interests of the four major grain merchants were affected. A consortium composed of farmers and arms dealers continues to lobby the government to provoke conflicts.
After the conflict broke out, the four major grain merchants took the opportunity to seek huge profits.
In history, next April, the domestic soybean industry will suffer heavy losses and countless companies will go bankrupt.
At this time, the four major grain merchants appeared, merging and acquiring soybean crushing companies as a rescue gesture.
Chen Changtao is the general manager of Yihai Group. He has a bald head and an obvious belly.
He suppressed his excitement and hung up the phone, and then he couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha..."
A tall and thin man walked in from the door, "Brother, what a good thing, you are smiling so happily, you can hear it from a long distance."
Chen Changtao said with a smile. ,
"News came from the headquarters that starting from the end of February, restrictions on imported soybeans will be permanently relaxed."
