Chapter 70 Sir, are you preaching? Daxia is making a lot of money, the J-20 comes first with a squadron! (2-in-1)
(PS, two chapters in one.)
In just a few minutes, global futures on carbon fiber composites faced a plunge.
In addition to the closed markets such as Daxia, the rest include: New York Stock Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, European Futures Market, etc. All futures related to carbon fiber materials have all fallen to trigger the circuit breaker mechanism.
However, even after a 15-minute circuit breaker and suspension, futures trading that had just resumed plummeted to 12% again. The futures price of ordinary carbon fiber materials dropped to 75 US dollars per kg, triggering the secondary circuit breaker mechanism to directly stop any trading. Reopen on the next trading day.
at this time.
In the southern part of Manhattan, this short street of a few hundred meters is the world-famous Wall Street. They control the order of the world with the power of financial capital.
On the rooftop of a skyscraper.
This man, who is in his early thirties, wears all brand-name clothes. Even his suits and shoes are handmade and customized high-end luxury goods.
He was looking desperately at the bustling crowd below. This could be said to be the busiest neighborhood in the world.
"It's a pity that it doesn't belong to me now. Life is always so unpredictable." He lit the last cigarette and smiled to himself.
He was a futures trader who saw the opportunity for the skyrocketing price of carbon fiber materials. He chose to violate the trading principles and put all his bets, misappropriating more than 10 million US dollars in capital chain, and entered the carbon fiber futures market with a huge leverage of 20 times.
In the past few days, his highest book profit has exceeded 100 million US dollars, which can be said to be a completely successful billionaire.
It is only a matter of time before she reaches the peak of her life and marries Bai Fumei.
Unfortunately, this illusion did not last long. In the recent round of market turmoil, his carbon fiber futures were directly liquidated.
Even if the carbon fiber material futures rise again later, it has nothing to do with him, because the position has long been forced to close to make up for the loss due to lack of replenishment of margin.
Whether it was the misappropriated US$10 million or the sky-high compensation he had to pay for leverage, it was definitely not within the scope of what he could bear.
Now, his life should be like the carbon fiber K-line chart, which will hit the floor!
"Would you like to jump? There's still a queue behind you!" a person standing at the back urged. Is he the only one waiting to jump to the rooftop? Who hasn’t lost money and been left with only a pair of underwear?
"I was wrong, I should have stopped earlier."
Why should he continue to gamble? When he earns 10 million US dollars or 100 million US dollars, he has countless opportunities to choose to leave.
But he insisted on continuing to gamble, not satisfied with this small 100 million US dollars, and wanted to try for the second 100 million US dollars, or even more money, tempting him like a devil to continue.
Now, he has suffered such a loss that he cannot even save his own life.
"Betting on dogs! You will die a good death in the end!" The trader shouted the last words of his life.
Then he jumped hard and made a close contact with the concrete floor in a free fall.
Following the trader, a man jumped in the same way, but he didn't even hesitate.
He didn't feel any regret in his heart. The futures market itself was a huge 'casino'.
As a dog gambler, he will never regret it. Even if he loses everything when he gambles with dogs, he will always continue to gamble without repentance until his family is ruined and all the blood of his relatives is drained.
But this time, the one who loses is his own life, so just take it.
Half an hour later, the major exchanges announced the closing, while global carbon fiber futures prices generally fell by more than 10%.
According to subsequent statistics, within an hour after the market closed, at least ten "financial elites" on Wall Street jumped from the rooftop.
But everyone knows that this matter is far from over, because the real darkness will not come until next Monday.
This is why Zhang Yuli and the others chose to sell during this time period on Friday.
The phrase "close the door and beat the dog" is vivid and specific.
The sharp drop in the last hour of Friday, after a two-day weekend market break, was enough to make the news fully fermented and reach the ears of most people around the world, causing great panic.
Judging from the turbulent mood of the entire market, it seems that they only lost about 10%, but in fact they have already lost money.
Because the entire market will fall without limit in the future, the circuit breaker will be closed for one day, and it will continue to fall tomorrow, until the futures price drops to around the ex-factory price of Daxia carbon fiber.
After all, the global demand for carbon fiber is currently only 30,000 to 40,000 tons, but Shenying Composite Materials, Guangwei Materials, etc. will put into production lines with a cumulative capacity of 10,000 tons this year, which already have "bargaining power" in the carbon fiber field.
It was difficult to find anyone to take over the futures contracts in their hands. Daxia was like cutting their flesh with a dull knife, draining the blood of these international capitals drop by drop.
at the same time.
It's three o'clock in the morning in Neon Tokyo, and the busy urban area has already come to an end.
However, the Toray Co., Ltd. headquarters in Muromachi 2-1 is still brightly lit.
Yukusu Murakami, who was sleeping heavily, looked at the futures K-line chart in front of him in disbelief.
"Nani?"
His expression lasted for a while, and he asked his subordinates in confusion: "Wasn't the carbon fiber futures price 85 US dollars before? Has it dropped to 75 US dollars so quickly?"
"It's from Daxia. The factory cost of their ordinary carbon fiber materials is only 35 US dollars per kg." The subordinate bowed at 90 degrees and explained obediently: "And they sold it one hour before the market closed, causing the futures market to Full collapse ”
"His 35 dollars?"
Murakami Yunan gasped when he heard this number.
This 12% drop is considered small. Others' physical delivery price is only 35 US dollars, but the futures price has reached 85 US dollars, which is a difference of nearly twice.
If it weren't for the circuit breaker mechanism, I'm afraid the entire futures market would have fallen by more than 50%.
I clearly remember that the situation was very good before I went to bed, so why did it become like this when I woke up?
Could it be that I am still dreaming?
Thinking of this, he slapped his face hard twice, and it actually hurt. This meant that this was not a dream?
"Then we, Toray, can"
Yukusu Murakami suddenly anticipated a terrible situation: "When the market opens next Monday...how much will our stock price fall? 10%? Or 30%?"
The subordinate standing next to him did not speak, and Murakami Yunan did not dare to think about it in detail.
As the absolute overlord in the field of carbon fiber materials, Toray Group was definitely the first company to be hit, due to the fermentation of public opinion in the two days over the weekend.
It is conceivable what huge challenges Toray's market value will face?
He has already imagined the terrifying scene, with the market opening and closing.
A daily plunge of 10% is just the beginning. It will not return to normal market value until the financial market releases all the panic.
Before he could finish digesting the information, his secretary knocked on the office door.
He hurriedly walked in and said: "President, in today's trading day, the company's stocks were secretly shorted for more than 2 billion US dollars."
After hearing this, Murakami Yunan felt that his heart was bleeding.
Is there any need to doubt who this ‘Big Short’ is?
A total of two billion U.S. dollars in short selling, which simply required Toray Group to spit out all the money it earned from this skyrocketing market value, and all of this money came from Neon National and Wall Street.
"Daxia, you guys are so damn cruel!" Murakami Yukunan finally understood what that sentence means, 'rabbits bite when they are angry'. This is more than just biting, it is simply killing someone.
More importantly, can the market value rise after it falls?
Although it has the lead in T1000 strength carbon fiber material, how much money can be made in this ultra-high-end market?
Toray still needs to rely on the mid-to-low-end market to make money, but now facing comprehensive competition from Daxia carbon fiber chemical manufacturers such as Shenying Composite Materials and Guangwei Materials, Toray can still use "power outages" and "fires" as it did before. 'Flood' and other excuses to carry out a round of price increases?
Not to mention price increases, they may even be dragged into an endless price war, and it is known that Daxia's manufacturing, labor, and construction costs are definitely far lower than Toray.
This is a conspiracy, a butcher's knife that will kill Dongli.
at this time.
Inside the Charcot Academy.
The two looked at the beautiful K-line chart displayed on the screen and immediately looked at each other and smiled.
"Lao Zhang, we have to thank these international capitals."
Zheng Lixing had a smile on his face: "Now all the money for the research and development of the H-20 project can be raised directly."
Just from this round of market conditions in the international carbon fiber futures market, Daxia's one-time profit is more than 10 billion US dollars?
No matter how much money is spent on H-20 research and development, it must be enough now, right? Don’t we have to thank these international capitals?
If we develop the H-20 in the future, we will drop some of our favorite 'little gifts' for them in the air to repay their 'great kindness' to Daxia. ’
"There are also interests of other people's 'mysterious organizations' in this. Don't forget to count them in." Zhang Yuli chuckled.
The carbon fiber composite material technology was given to Daxia by the 'mysterious organization', so it was directly treated as a technology investment.
Although this is a financial investment, Daxia will still not give less money. After all, the friendship of the 'mysterious organization' cannot be bought with these billions of dollars.
Hear this.
Zheng Lixing still nodded and sighed: "That's enough, that's enough."
"Wall Street is really timely this time. Does it know that we lack R&D funds?"
Most of the money earned this time has to be turned over to the national treasury and the 'mysterious organization'. In addition, it has to be distributed to major chemical plants such as Shenying Composite Materials. Only a small part can be used as research and development funds, but that is still a Huge numbers in billions of dollars.
He and Zhang Yuli were still worried about one thing before, that is, the development direction of two versions of the entire H-20 at the same time, and the 10 billion yuan in funds was far from enough.
But now the money is coming. Isn't this a timely rain sent to them by international capital?
"Lao Zhang, didn't the J-20 from the 611 Research Institute say that it is ready to be developed and will make its first flight soon?" Zheng Lixing turned to him and asked.
"Soon." Zhang Yuli nodded: "After the improvement of material processing accuracy, the research and development speed has increased by leaps and bounds, and the first flight will be in the near future."
"Why are you asking this?"
Why do you want to ask when the J-20 will make its first flight?
"Isn't this rich? After the first flight is completed, don't build one or two prototypes and slowly experiment."
Zheng Lixing waved his hand and said with great enthusiasm: "It will be fun to just build a squadron of J-20s for labor and management!"
Although this is just a joke, it is impossible for Daxia to directly build so many prototypes of an unfinished product.
But now, the proposal to build a squadron of J-20s still makes the two of them very excited. How great would it be if this could be realized?
For a time, the entire office was filled with laughter.
Eagle Sauce, Livermore.
It is still in the Fountain Square in the center of the city.
"Buhler, I guess that man must be a liar."
The little white fat guy Parker said angrily: "How long has it been? Why haven't you come to us yet?"
After saying that, the hands holding the book couldn't help but tremble.
For more than a week, the middle-aged white uncle didn't come to see them even once.
What is this if not a liar? Let yourself read three or four such 'esoteric' and 'obscure' books in vain!
"Parker, we need to be more patient."
The little black and thin Buller read the book slowly and continued to turn to the next page,
"There's no harm in reading books for us, right?" He said somewhat casually.
suddenly.
His ears twitched, and a figure that was very familiar to them appeared on the other side of the street.
"Buhler, I'm glad you understand."
Lu Ze, who transformed into a 'middle-aged white uncle', said with a smile: "Reading books is only good for you, there is no harm."
He had been secretly observing before. As a white man, Fat Parker was a little restless, but as a black man, Buller was unusually calm.
This pair of 'crouching dragon and phoenix' somewhat subverted his traditional impression of white people and black people.
"Sir, we have finished reading the three or four books you told us." Little white fat Parker immediately rushed up: "When can you give us a thousand dollars?"
"Answer the question first, and I will give it to you naturally." Lu Ze smiled back.
Sure enough, after he read out a few questions about "capital and the mass line", both of them answered them almost fluently.
Even the most careless Parker only needs a short moment of thinking to come up with the correct ideas and answers.
[Capitalist democracy is a incomplete, barren, and hypocritical democracy. It is a democracy only for the rich and only for the few. 】
[Inequality in economic status determines the inequality in status and social life between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. 】
【.】
After asking three or four questions.
"You did read these books as I asked."
The 'middle-aged white uncle' version of Lu Ze took the thousand dollars that he had prepared from his pocket and handed it over: "This is your reward, take it."
Look at the thousand dollars in Lu Ze's hand.
For a moment, neither Parker nor Buller took the initiative to reach out to pick it up.
"What's wrong? Don't you want the money?" Lu Ze asked curiously.
At this time, Parker, as a fat boy, frowned and said with confusion:
"Sir, are you here to preach?"
As long as you answer the questions, you will be given money. Unless you are here to preach, why don’t you explain this clearly?
More importantly, this missionary is too rich, right?
A full thousand US dollars, and you actually gave it to me?
