Chapter 1029 Storm 1
The laboratory has made a technological breakthrough, and they want to target a metal in the futures market and the real market. The boss has already said it. For this reason, there is nothing to worry about. As the world's largest high-tech industrial enterprise, every move of Heiyun Group can affect the nerves of the entire world.
Even though none of the three of them are from science or engineering backgrounds, they still know what the boss means in the eyes of countries around the world and what kind of existence he is. Technically, perhaps no one dares to exaggerate that Haikou is stronger than Bao Zixuan. No matter which aspect, this is true.
With one look, he immediately understood what it meant. Zhao Tingting said: "Currently, the group headquarters has too many projects to carry out, and the financial pressure is very high. The maximum amount it can spend is about 5 billion US dollars. If it is more, it will affect the normal operation of the company."
The price of sodium metal has been very stable, and the group headquarters can spend US$5 billion, which is about the same.
Yuan Tianfan: "Heiyun Bank can draw out 10 billion US dollars of funds. If it is not enough, it can use depositors' reserves, but it must be under the premise of being foolproof; about 10 billion US dollars can be withdrawn."
"At the same time, the time cannot be too long, otherwise if there is a disturbance, Heiyun Bank will face a run crisis. The Hong Kong government will also investigate, and we will be completely passive."
This is the advantage of having a bank in your hand, you can withdraw funds at any time. Of course Bao Zixuan also knew that many people were staring at him at this time, waiting for him to make a mistake. Heiyun Bank has already experienced a crisis of trust before. If this always happens, depositors will inevitably lose confidence, which will be very detrimental to bank operations.
Huo Jianning: "Hutchison Whampoa can provide about US$1 billion, which is already the limit."
In a traditional enterprise, it is very rare to be able to squeeze out so much capital. In fact, this also takes advantage of the relationship with Heiyun Group. The other three foreign banks in Hong Kong do not have this strength at all.
Bao Zixuan: "President Yuan is in charge of the futures market. He spent three days mobilizing all funds to purchase futures contracts for sodium metal. Don't worry about the price, just take as much as you have."
At the same time, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Huo are responsible for the actual market. Companies that are ranked high in the world and produce sodium metal will buy out their production capacity in the next three years. You can pay a deposit in advance, and we won't suffer any loss even if they deliver the goods on time.
This is the confidence, even if it hits your hand, you are not afraid, it can be digested inside the factory. If it were an ordinary enterprise, it would really not dare to play like this. Several of them are group executives and confidants. If they all have problems, it can only be said that people's hearts are unpredictable. There is really no one around him that he can trust, and Bao Shaofu will probably feel sad as well.
The boss said this. Even a fool knows that the important raw material is sodium metal. So there is nothing to hesitate about, just follow the plan.
The three of them hurried back to make arrangements and mobilize funds. In reality, they had to send purchasers over for negotiation. There was still a lot of preparation work to be done in the early stage.
Bao Zixuan did not arrange for Blackstone Fund to participate in this operation, not because he did not believe it, but because he did not want to miss the opportunity for Japan's development. The Plaza Accord is about to be signed. It is very irrational to withdraw funds from Japan at this time. That is not easy to make ends meet with money, and it also easily distracts the team's energy.
After Huo Jianning and Zhao Tingting mobilized funds, they dispatched 19 purchasing teams. The purchasing group has only one mission; as long as it is metallic sodium, it must be obtained no matter how expensive it is. This may be an exaggeration. After all, we have to follow market trends, and no one dares to do anything that violates economic laws. But it’s almost the same, in order to get metallic sodium quickly. Heiyun purchasing group prices tend to be higher than the market price, and it is normal for prices to rise by about one level.
With such a large purchase volume, could Bao Zixuan have any big plans? What many people say they don’t understand is that the futures market is more exaggerated than the real market.
The London Futures Market is the world's most authoritative metal futures trading platform. As a metal with a wide range of applications, the price of sodium metal has been very stable, always maintaining at 2,000 pounds per ton. In the past five years, prices have basically remained unchanged. After all, the purchase volume is relatively constant, and ordinary companies really don’t need this kind of metal.
But as soon as he went to work on Monday morning, Sean Phoebe felt something was wrong. As an old man who has been engaged in futures trading for ten years, he immediately understood that there was an institution buying sodium metal futures contracts in large quantities. Judging from the momentum and scale, it must be a large organization, otherwise there would not be such a big movement.
Sean Phoebe just wanted to report the matter, but when he thought about it carefully; this was also an opportunity.
I had a quarrel with my supervisor for some reasons before. Why not take advantage of this time difference to make a lot of money? Such opportunities don't come around all the time. No matter which organization takes action on sodium metal, it must be absolutely sure.
Sean Phoebe began to use the funds on hand to follow up heavily. In less than an hour, the sodium metal futures contract rose by 6%. For a non-mainstream metal, this is unprecedented.
Not many institutions paid attention to sodium metal before, but the rising data cannot fool anyone. The world's major investment fund companies immediately launched an investigation and found that all futures contracts on sodium metal came from Xiangjiang Heiyun Bank.
This makes many people confused as to what Bao Zixuan is planning to do. Currently there is no direct channel to contact them, so we can only wait and see what happens. Black Cloud Bank did not stop buying so many sodium metal futures contracts. He is still buying, and he has the intention of not buying up all the contracts and not stopping.
Futures trading has always been a paradise for adventurers, and these people have a sense of smell that is more sensitive than that of dogs. Behind Heiyun Bank is Heiyun Group, and behind it is Bao Zixuan. You don’t need to think about it to know that the richest man in Hong Kong has already taken action on sodium metal.
If everyone understood the thoughts of the richest man, then Bao Zixuan would not be able to achieve what he is today. Opportunities are fleeting and there is no room for hesitation. The vast majority still chose to believe it and joined the futures contract to buy sodium metal. In just one day, the price of sodium metal in the international futures market soared from 2,000 pounds per ton to 2,800 pounds. Many economic experts cannot understand this increase.
No matter how rich Bao Zixuan is, there are still so many projects going on at the same time. The funds that can be mobilized are limited, and it is impossible to make sodium metal rise by 40% in one day; it is definitely necessary to unite other financial institutions to trade together.
Of course it's not unreasonable to think so, who doesn't have a few friends yet. But they were destined to be disappointed. The incident happened suddenly. Bao Zixuan just wanted to make some money in futures trading and didn't think too much. As for why so many institutions are following up, it can only be said that it is famous.
If Heiyun Group dares to do this, it must be absolutely sure. Although Bao Zixuan is young, he will never fight an unprepared battle.
Inside the London Futures Exchange, representatives of major fund companies are meeting.
The president of a fund company asked: "Hasn't there been any news that the Rothschild family is cooperating with the Black Cloud Group?"
The representative of the Rothschild family was also confused. After all, the family has no affiliation with the Black Cloud Group. Do they need to ask for instructions and report what the other party does? What are you thinking! Bao Zixuan is a person who is willing to surrender to other families. He doesn't even give old Morgan face, so how can he give face to the Rothschild family.
Originally, I didn't dare to speak to the representative of the Rothschild family like this, but when I saw the other party coming, I didn't have so many scruples. So what if a marginalized figure whose family branch is too far away to be a branch of the family, even if his surname is Rothschild.
A representative of the Rothschild family replied: "The Rothschild family and Heiyun only have a cooperative relationship, but they do not know much about the sodium metal futures contract issue; they may have similar information to you, so there is no need to always think about it. It depends on how our family is doing."
The Rothschild family does not allow others to question. Even if he is not taken seriously in the family, he can represent the family when he comes out. The surname Rothschild alone says it all.
Listen to the other person's answer and combine it with the information you have learned previously. Most people still believe that there is really no need to report anything Bao Zixuan does to anyone, even if he is Rothschild.
At this time, an older fund company representative said: "Since no one knows what Heiyun Bao Zixuan is thinking or what his purpose is. But it is a fact that he purchased the sodium metal futures contract. Of course, it is best to be able to figure out the other party's purpose. Okay. But even if we don’t know what the other party thinks in response, will it still delay us from making money!"
After hearing the old guy's analysis, everyone immediately became energetic. They are fund managers, not judges; they do not need to rely on evidence to do anything. As long as you can make money reasonably and legally, it is a waste of time to think about so many things and nothing to do.
