Chapter 851 New Project, Liquefied Gas
Chapter 851 New Project, Liquefied Gas
When the conflicting parties resolve the issue, all related physical objects will plummet.
Nickel is one of them.
Mauritius is one of the world's major nickel producers. If it conflicts with Uzbekistan, nickel production will inevitably be affected, which will lead to an increase in nickel prices.
Glencore also used this news to make a fuss, and combined with its own strength, it forcibly raised the price to 90,000 meters of gold/ton.
But now that both sides have announced that they are not fighting at the same time, the price of nickel has fallen back, once falling below the 70,000-meter gold/ton mark during the session.
Fortunately, capital giants such as Glencore are strong and have stabilized the price above 70,000 meters of gold/ton by buying short orders.
The reason why Yang Chen used this reversal card was to lure Merida into trap, not to suppress the price of nickel.
Merida once again sent a delegation to Daxia Hangcheng to interview Zhang Qingshan about the second order of 5 million tons of wheat.
The contract content this time is similar to the first order, except that some adjustments have been made in price and delivery time.
Due to the decline in international wheat prices, Merida is also willing to sell 5 million tons of wheat to Qingshan Group at a price of 280 meters gold per ton.
In terms of delivery time, Merida guarantees delivery every 10 days, with a maximum of 5 deliveries.
Again, what Yang Chen wants is for them to sign a contract, not really for them to buy as much grain as possible for delivery.
As long as the contract is signed, the specific details are not important.
After a whole day of bargaining, the two parties finally signed the second order.
As a result, Merida needs to hand over 10 million tons of wheat to Qingshan Group within three months.
Their own inventory of wheat is about 2 million tons, which means that they need to purchase an additional 8 million tons of wheat to meet the order requirements.
Originally, it was not an easy task to purchase so much wheat when the international situation was unstable.
But now that both Mao and Uzbekistan have declared that they will not fight, the grain dealers, large and small, who had hoarded a lot of wheat before, are rushing to ship the goods, which happened to be missed by Merida.
Merida sent hundreds of employees to various countries and regions around the world to purchase wheat. This time they were going to do a big job and make a lot of money.
Zhang Qingshan took a photo of the second 5 million tons wheat contract and sent it to Yang Chen.
After reading it, Yang Chen smiled with satisfaction and called Zhang Qingshan to request a video call.
Soon, the video call was connected.
Zhang Qingshan smiled and said: "Director Yang, have you seen the contract?"
Yang Chen: "Yes. I saw it. Director Zhang did a great job, thank you very much."
The smile on Zhang Qingshan's face disappeared immediately, and then he said: "It's really uncomfortable to hold some words in my heart and not say them out. But if I say them out, I'm afraid of making Director Yang unhappy."
Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Why are you so polite to me, Director Zhang? If you have anything to say, just say it, I'm all ears."
Zhang Qingshan hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "Okay, then I will say it. You predict that the two sides will definitely fight, and the prices of wheat and other things will definitely rise sharply. But now both sides have issued announcements stating that they will not fight. , the prices of various products are falling crazily. Internationally, the price of wheat has fallen to the 250-meter gold zone, heading towards the price ten years ago. Doesn’t this mean that you guessed wrong?”
Yang Chen smiled and replied: "The international situation is changing rapidly. How can you predict what will happen tomorrow? I said they will fight, and they will definitely fight. The root of the conflict between the two parties is the contract, not the themselves. Therefore, it is not credible at all that they said that the contradiction has been resolved. My guess is that they are just acting on each other to buy themselves time to arrange their troops. Especially the Mao country, they need to transport a large amount of weapons to the border, This takes time. The purpose of that announcement is actually to delay time. Look, they will definitely start fighting in two days at most. Originally, they didn’t issue an announcement, but I didn’t think they would be able to start fighting. After this announcement was issued, , I'm sure they're determined.
"
Zhang Qingshan was stunned. He didn't understand how Yang Chen was sure that the two sides would fight, but seeing Yang Chen so determined, he was embarrassed to say anything.
Anyway, Yang Chen will bear the loss alone, so what is he worried about?
Zhang Qingshan: "Okay, I don't know much about these things anyway. Director Yang is so knowledgeable about the international situation, so I will listen to you and wait patiently for the results."
Yang Chen: "Haha... That's right. If there is nothing else, I will hang up first. I still have to contact other partners to acquire other things."
Zhang Qingshan perked up as soon as he heard this, and quickly asked: "Director Yang, you are not being kind. Why don't you think about me when you have a good project? Why do you do it with others?"
Yang Chen laughed loudly and said: "I want to think about you, but you don't want to do it."
Zhang Qingshan: "You didn't say anything about the project, how do you know that I don't want to do it? After talking to you so many times, I have become more courageous. I dare to do some projects that I didn't dare to do before." . Tell me, what project? If it’s suitable, I’ll invest real money to do it with you this time.”
The prices and quantities of bulk commodities are huge, and Yang Chen simply cannot eat the entire international market by himself.
Therefore, if Zhang Qingshan really wants to play together, it doesn't mean that he can't take him with him.
Yang Chen said: "Affected by the announcements from those two countries, not only the price of wheat fell, but also the prices of oil, gas, precious metals, etc. all plummeted. But as I just said, those two countries will definitely There will be a conflict. These things will definitely skyrocket in the future, buy them while the prices are falling now, and wait to make big money in the future. However, the investment cost of bulk commodities is very high, and the risks are relatively high. Does Mr. Zhang dare to play?"
From what Yang Chen meant, he wanted to make oil and gas. This was indeed a huge investment project, and the risk was extremely high. If you were not careful, you might lose everything.
Not to mention the impact of the international situation, if a cargo ship encounters typhoons, strandings and other unexpected factors at sea, the entire cargo of the ship may be destroyed.
Therefore, this kind of business cannot be done by ordinary people. It must be done by people with strong strength and strong ability to resist risks.
Obviously, Yang Chen is such a person.
However, Zhang Qingshan is not.
But Zhang Qingshan now wants to do big business with Yang Chen and make a lot of money. Even if he is afraid, he is still unwilling to give up.
Zhang Qingshan quickly asked: "Can I ask what Director Yang is planning to do? Oil? Or gas?"
Yang Chen: "I plan to make liquefied gas. I will buy a few ships of liquefied gas and sell them when the gas surges in Europe. I dare not say more, but it is still easy to make double or triple the profit. How about, Does Mr. Zhang dare to do it?”
To be honest, Zhang Qingshan was really tempted.
However, he still had great doubts in his heart.
That is, the premise that this project can make money is that the two countries will really conflict, causing the price of liquefied gas to rise, and they can earn the price difference from it.
But if there is no conflict between the two countries and Yang Chen's guess is wrong, what should he do?
If you invest in such a huge project and lose money, the consequences will be disastrous.
