“I really don’t know how this kind of person developed, he is indecisive and not straightforward at all.

Doesn't he know that with billions of dollars in funds, every day of delay will waste an astronomical amount of extra revenue? "

There are not many allies who can cooperate with Li Zehua, and looking at the domestic situation, only a few are qualified.

At this time, in a luxurious manor in the Magic City, a man was holding something that could change its shape at will. He ignored the discomfort that others were trying to endure and said bitterly:
“As the saying goes, if you don’t destroy, you can’t build. If you want to gain control of an entire industry, the best way is to reshuffle the cards, make good use of every resource at hand, and squeeze out as much profit as possible.

Aren't there just a few thousand small and medium-sized textile enterprises? They should be allowed to go bankrupt and their outdated production capacity should be eliminated. It would be irrational to delay making money for this group of people.

Fuck, I've had enough. How did this guy get rich? He made tens of billions at a time. God must be blind!"

The chairman of a large factory who came to report on his work heard this and wiped his cold sweat carefully, saying flatteringly: "Boss Lu, you are right, I think Qingyun is petty.

He is timid and hesitant, and lacks the decisiveness to accomplish great things. "

Mr. Lu’s original surname was not Lu, but someone above him once called him Little Mr. Lu, and the nickname spread. However, no one outside dared to add a small character to the name, and they all respectfully called him Mr. Lu.

Over time, many people almost forgot his last name.

"Okay, stop sucking up to me."

Mr. Xiao Lu was furious, and with the remaining anger he raised his hand and slapped hard. Inevitably, it was a bit heavy, causing the woman who was squatting beside him to serve him to scream instinctively.

But as soon as he came into contact with those terrifying angry eyes, he immediately lowered his head and dared not look again.

"This kind of person is very popular now. He can't be touched. Let him be happy for a few days. When he falls into my hands one day in the future, he will be in trouble."

Mr. Xiao Lu snorted coldly, "I asked someone to pass a message to him, but Fang Guohui tied his hands and feet and fell from the building. It doesn't matter if he dies, but what about the funds in his account?
Not a penny is left. Is it easy for an organization to work so hard to train such a useful financial talent?

He, on the other hand, doesn't cherish it at all.

This time he even rejected the proposal to close the net early. If you didn’t know, you would think he was the one making the decision.”

Speaking of this, Mr. Lu gets very angry.

He knew nothing about Qingyun Investment's specific positions in domestic and international futures markets, how it operated, or how it planned to make profits in the future. He only knew that he made money.

When Li Zehua set up the executive and shareholder investment fund, he included them in the fund, with each family receiving approximately US$200 million to US$1000 million. The owner of Mei Zhuang had to act as a matchmaker for Goldman Sachs, and the additional investment would be calculated separately.

When cotton futures reach a critical moment, it is customary to say hello to all shareholders, with the idea of ​​borrowing their influence to reduce interference from regulators.

It also helps to gather necessary personal support in advance for the WeChat technology that is about to be fully launched.

This move has both advantages and disadvantages. It has certainly been supported in that some traces of acquisitions and confidential information have been concealed, making it impossible for competitors to obtain specific information from the CSRC and the exchanges no matter how hard they try.

It effectively concealed Qingyun Group's plan and prevented it from failing due to early leaks.

But it also allowed these allies with great connections to see for the first time the grand scale of Qingyun Group's overall layout in the domestic futures market, the huge scale of its investment, and the long planning time.

While it is amazing, it inevitably gives rise to other thoughts.

For example, Mr. Xiao Lu was extremely envious of the hundreds of billions of RMB in Qingyun's account. Even if most of them were loans, it was still a huge fortune that was hard for ordinary people to imagine.

Even though he was born with a mountain of gold in his mouth, the actual disposable funds are capped at a few hundred million, and most of them are fixed assets. If he wants to temporarily use tens of millions, he has to inform the bank in advance.

Now seeing an ordinary person spending more than a year to accumulate such a huge fortune, it would be a lie to say that I am not jealous.

Especially when he learned that the other party had just given up the idea of ​​reaping the benefits in advance, he felt sad about the huge profits slipping away, so he went directly to find the chairman of a large factory who was promoted by their family.

Start planning how to get some extra profits from Qingyun.

But the chairman of the big company didn't understand this at all, so he could only start from the industry and tentatively said, "How about I go back and transfer some funds from the company account in the form of financial management.

Entrust it to Qingyun to take care of it, and earn some extra income from it?"

“Alright, alright. I know you have money in the insurance business, but the problem is that people won’t accept it. Even the money that Ming Rixin offered to give us was returned.

This kid now feels that he has grown strong enough to fly solo, and wants to get rid of our influence."

Mr. Xiao Lu was extremely impatient. After rolling his eyes a few times, he lowered his voice and asked, "How much do you think we can get by selling this information?"

The chairman of the big factory was shocked. "No, Mr. Lu, this is not a joke. If someone finds out, not only will Qingyun be furious, but even the higher-ups will investigate thoroughly.

What's more, the other party can't afford this price. As far as I know, the funds invested in the name of the investment company have now made a profit of nearly 5 times.

It became 50 million US dollars. If things go smoothly and end perfectly, it may be difficult to break 100 million, but 70 or 80 million US dollars will definitely be no problem.

These are all clean money earned through investment, and can withstand any form of investigation. There is no need for us to be hard on money.”

Mr. Xiao Lu sighed, "I just feel psychologically unbalanced. He makes dozens of times the profit, but when it comes to me, I don't even get a hundred million dollars.

Even if we get extra preferential treatment and a discount on the handling fee and management fee, we still get less than 70% of it. We can barely survive but we can’t have enough to eat either.”

To put it bluntly, they just think the money they get is too little.

The chairman of the big factory was relieved to hear him complain, knowing that he had temporarily given up the idea, and quickly changed the subject: "Boss Xiao Lu, in fact, your vision does not have to be limited to financial speculation.

In this unfamiliar industry, without the help of someone like Fang Guohui who knows the business inside out, it is difficult to make big money. Even if you invest money in it, you don't know the specific details.

There are certain considerations when to enter the market to build a position, at what price to transfer a position, and when to close a position. Even as an outsider I know that opportunities to make money in the financial market are fleeting.

If you are not careful, you may be making a profit one second and suffer a huge loss the next."

Seeing that Mr. Xiao Lu showed no resistance, he continued, "Instead of cooperating in an unfamiliar field, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of negotiating with Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance to get some business that is sure to make a profit."

Mr. Lu scratched his head and said, "You mean, selling insurance?

But this thing is not profitable if you do it on a small scale! If you do it on a large scale, and your company easily makes tens or even hundreds of billions of net profits every year, I have to have that ability.

Besides, the money earned cannot be spent directly, so why bother to do it? It is not realistic to work alone. It is a closed market that even foreign capital finds difficult to intervene in, and the higher-ups will not easily agree to lift restrictions. "

The chairman of the big factory shook his head and said, "The situation is different now. The negotiation process with the WTO has accelerated recently, and foreign investors who want to invest in the mainland market are very sincere.

Accordingly, we must also follow the terms we signed when we first joined the WTO and gradually relax some restrictions in the financial sector, such as allowing foreign capital to actually participate in management and allowing private enterprises to make useful supplements. "

Mr. Xiao Lu was moved. "That's interesting. Keep going."

"The meeting clarified the principal responsibilities, fund-raising channels, and the scope of insurance business involved, and also determined the scope of investment and principal protection of the premium income obtained.

I was originally planning to invite a well-known foreign company to invest in you, Mr. Lu, and introduce their advanced experience and management team, which would greatly reduce operating costs and entry difficulties.

Unexpectedly, Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance contains a huge gold mine. The Beidou navigation commercial promotion contract they hold will involve almost all vehicles in the civilian field in the future.

Whether it is a private car or a long-distance or short-distance social transportation vehicle, plus other personal insurance business carried by Qingyun Group itself.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever gets the shares of this company is destined to become rich in the future.”

Mr. Lu thought he was talking about something, but it turned out to be just like this?
I immediately lost most of my enthusiasm. "We talked about it. The price of the insurance business shares is very high. They also set up some kind of employee stock ownership platform and put most of the Qingyun system into it.

In the future, maybe millions of people will share the profits. Even if you make a lot, I will only have a small portion left.

It's not as good as the 15% stake you hold."

The chairman of the big factory curled his lips and said, "Don't mention it. At the beginning, I was invited by the Yuqing government to negotiate, and it was indeed negotiated at 15%. I don't know what the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission thinks.

Three major security funds were also brought in. Now, PICC Life Insurance and other five companies share a 30% stake, exactly 6% each, plus Yuqing Real Estate's 5% and Great Eastern Insurance's 15%.

They hold exactly 50% of the shares, and the management position is assigned by Great Eastern. But it is precisely because of this that Great Eastern has to seek our support. Through the overall development plan they proposed, I can see some clues.

What Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance can do, actually you can do it too, Mr. Lu!
In terms of resources, you and Mr. Xu are much more powerful than Qingyun Group. As long as the application plan is submitted, the regulators will definitely not conduct too much review.

To keep things simple and save trouble, you can even choose a local acquisition in Shanghai. As for the funds, the company can advance the money and you can pay it back when you get a bank loan in the future.

It's easier than selling a platform. Doesn't Qingyun Group have its own shares? They can move in right away by just giving a heads up, as long as they don't mess with the core assets.

I believe that person would not dare to refuse, after all, he still counts on the power behind you, Mr. Lu, to help him overcome the difficulties in WeChat technology. "

Xiao Lu figured out something. "It's not impossible. The key is whether this plan is reliable. Don't let anything go wrong and keep me trapped."

"Not at all. You know HNA, many people in the company want to quit recently. You know the specific reasons. Several core departments' expansion directions have collapsed, resulting in huge losses.

Everyone from top to bottom is busy trying to pass the buck. Those with connections had already smelled the bad stuff and ran away. It's hard to say whether these people have much ability.

However, he is quite good at personal connections, capital operations, and mergers and acquisitions to increase value.

If you can pick out some that are of great use, our company will provide credit guarantee in the early stage to help you quickly pass the initial accumulation stage and expand the scale of insurance reserves.

In exchange for more credit, I believe that with the help of the Qingyun platform, it will not be a problem to quickly complete the transformation according to this theory..."

Mr. Xiao Lu became more and more interested as he listened, and when he heard the key and exciting parts, he did not forget to applaud and celebrate, "Just do it, if something goes wrong, put all the responsibility on Qingyun.

Let this kid eat all the food by himself, he deserves to be blamed for this."

The matter was settled, and then the chairman of the large factory introduced him to several insurance companies that were suitable for acquisition.

Mr. Xiao Lu immediately fell in love with Dingguo’s company and said, “It’s a local car company in Shanghai, so it’s worth a try!
You can come forward and discuss it first. As for Qingyun, you can pass on the information you have collected in exchange for a share of the insurance business. Is that not too much?"

The chairman of the big factory patted his chest and assured: "Leave it to me, it will be no problem!"

……

"Want a portion of Qing Yun Great Eastern's insurance business?"

Li Zehua looked at the inside information in his hand, frowning, "Are these people crazy? In order to trick me, they are actually planning to collude with the delivery market to start a big fight?"

He didn't really want to agree, but his mind told him that a portion of the insurance business would be worth it in exchange for his opponent's top-secret information.

It is worthwhile to help the group successfully complete its layout and deal a heavy blow to its competitors in one fell swoop.

"Has this information been verified?"

He held up the information and asked Zhang Tao, at critical moments, the people around you are more reliable.

Zhang Tao nodded. "It is confirmed. The management of the delivery market has been bribed."

"Fuck, luckily I didn't continue to go long with my capital advantage, otherwise I would have been stuck by the end of the month."

Li Zehua was furious. He had never thought that there would be such disgusting tricks in the world.

What's the point of short selling and physical delivery? No one wants to play serious games with him at all.

If I hadn't dug the hole myself and was preparing to continue setting up the game to lure the other party into investing more money, I'm afraid I would still be insisting on going long.

Competitors who have suffered huge losses will certainly not admit defeat easily, and by the end of the month when physical delivery is made, both parties may hold positions of hundreds of millions of tons.

By then, people will find trouble even when there is nothing to do, not to mention that huge profits and losses involving tens of billions of funds are unlikely to give up easily.

Originally, the Taishan faction, together with the hot money from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with the support of capital, was preparing to short sell and destroy Qingyun’s holdings, and they would definitely discuss the delivery matters after the expiration.

Judging from the current situation, there are only two companies in the world that can deliver so much cotton inventory at the same time. One is the four major grain traders, and the other is the Qingyun Group itself.

No matter how powerful the Taishan Sect is, they can't conjure up so much cotton out of thin air, so the only viable option is to take risks and cheat.

The Taishan Sect had made a good plan to turn the normal futures delivery into an open confrontation between the two sides.

Aren't you relying on the dual advantages of capital and first-mover to get the biggest share of profits from long positions? Then use off-market tricks to overturn the table, and no one will be able to continue playing.

Qingyun's insistence on going long is the culprit for the surge in cotton prices, and they have created an unbeatable image for themselves of fighting for the benefit of the people, even though everyone understands what is going on.

Then they expressed regret that they were sorry, but the cotton in stock ready for delivery was gone due to aging circuit equipment, improper operation by personnel and other reasons.

What else can Qingyun do?
At that time, we can only catch and take action directly, and pursue those who have been exposed relentlessly. In addition, we can get back the principal that has been seized and frozen at the exchange, as well as possible billions of profits.

But what's the use of this? Such a big thing should be investigated thoroughly, right?

During this period, let's freeze the accounts and funds of both parties and investigate whether the investment is clean and whether there are any violations. Is that ok?

By then, should Qingyun report its overseas trading positions?
It doesn’t matter whether you give it or not.

Because people are going for the last cotton reserves of the State Reserves Bureau and the cotton stocks still remaining in the market.

As I said, people just have no legitimate reason to get the cotton. If they ask for it directly, the government will definitely not allow it.

However, in order to resist the Qingyun Group, which intended to control cotton futures trading and thus control textile companies, it was forced to short sell to stabilize prices. This is called a legitimate reason.

Get enough quotas from above reasonably and legally. As for how to distribute them after getting them and whether they will appear on the market, only God knows.

Once these cotton stocks are in hand and the Taishan faction and capital join forces, what will the short sellers do?
If we ignore the two to three million tons of cotton held by Qingyun, the four major grain traders, top investment banks and Taishan School will temporarily control most of the cotton from September 10 to March of the following year.

How much it will rise depends on their ideas, right?

At the very least, before the sowing and harvesting season in the southern hemisphere arrives, there will be no problem in raising the price to 40,000 to 50,000 per ton.

"The layout is very clever. If we continue to go long, they will go short, and then they will have a real-life fight offline. They may even attack me at a critical moment.

But now the group has ostensibly joined the short side, how are they going to respond?"

Li Zehua looked at the data that obviously lacked core evidence and frowned, saying, "Although I know that the other party will definitely raise the price suddenly at a certain time period.

They will not give up unless the price reaches 30,000 to 40,000 yuan per ton and the domestic textile industry collapses. Their current bearish sentiment is just to lure the bulls, led by me, to close their positions and make profits.

But how to do it, to what extent, how to operate, on what scale, who is involved behind the scenes, whether the exchange will take sides, and who is behind it.

I don't know any of this.

If these situations are not clarified, it will be difficult for domestic futures to successfully reap the opponents. Just a full margin move can make all the efforts of the group go to waste.

Not to mention that the harvesting period is approaching, I have no shortage of logistics and transportation capabilities to deliver the cotton to the designated location, the key is whether the exchange will recognize it?"

It’s a headache, especially when it comes to overseas investment.

If domestic affairs are handled well and there is sufficient cotton supply in the market, then the international cotton price will lose room for speculation.

The reason is simple. In a market that accounts for 60 to 70 percent of the global textile market share, when the raw material supply is sufficient, who will the other suppliers sell to after raising the price?
No matter how stubborn the four major grain traders are, they dare not openly go against the general trend. No matter how powerful Squid Capital is, it dare not go against international hot money. These guys are willing to risk their lives for money.

What's more, if all the rich people in the world come together and throw in any money they want, even Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley would have to admit defeat and leave if they encountered such a situation.

"No, I'd rather spend money to buy peace of mind than get involved with Dingguo. This company is worse than Haih."

After thinking this through, Li Zehua called and said, "Make an offer. I want all the complete information...

Don't talk about endorsement by strength, just talk about the facts and clearly mark the price. Don't forget, you also have a share in this!" (End of this chapter)
