Chapter 868 Let’s Make the Pressure Even Greater
Normally, it is unrealistic to collect 3 million tons of electrolytic nickel within ten days when the annual output is only 2.7 million tons.
However, the problem is that when Yang Chen placed short orders for hedging, he had 2 million tons stored in his warehouse.
These days, Pan Qingguo has used the Huaqing Group's human resources to harvest gold at a price 50% higher than the market price around the world, which is 15,000 meters of gold per ton.
All 1 million tons have been signed, and just waiting for each supplier to deliver the goods to the Huaqing Group's warehouse, Yang Chen can officially announce physical delivery.
However, this group of people didn't understand this. They felt that Yang Chen would definitely not be able to collect 3 million tons of electrolytic nickel, and it was clear that he would definitely breach the contract.
Once Yang Chen breaks the contract, he won't be able to get the money, the technology will be gone, the equipment will be gone, and he will have to pay liquidated damages.
Therefore, they were determined to make Yang Chen agree to the settlement plan proposed by Glencore and others.
In the afternoon of that day, all the companies under Yang Chen's name received calls from comrades from the local tax department, who needed to inspect their accounts.
Later, the fire department also conducted fire inspections on all companies under his name.
Major banks are also urging Yang Chen to immediately repay part of the loans that have expired or are about to expire.
All the information that Yang Chen's companies needed to submit for review was rejected.
In just one day, Yang Chen was under unprecedented pressure.
Since his debut, he has been going smoothly and can do whatever he wants.
Only now did he experience how difficult it was to "disobey". He really fell from the sky in an instant.
Yang Chen finally understood why the system had told him to withstand the pressure for the first time. This pressure was really not that great.
If converted into losses, the companies under Yang Chen's name now add up to a loss of several billion a day.
Of course, these businesses are only postponed and can still be resumed later.
It just feels very uncomfortable, and even makes you want to curse.
Two days later, Mayor Wang called Yang Chen.
I heard that he meant to ask Yang Chen what he was thinking now and whether he had considered the choice.
Yang Chen chuckled and replied: "Didn't I give the answer before? What I gave is my final answer and will not be changed again."
Mayor Wang laughed loudly and said: "I told them that this trick will not work for you, it will only make you more uncooperative. Unfortunately, they just don't believe it and have to choose this method. Then let me ask you One question, where do you get 3 million tons of electrolytic nickel to be delivered? I asked people to check the data from the customs. You have imported almost 2 million tons of electrolytic nickel before. In this case, you are still 1 million tons short. With the current market situation, what do you think? Within ten days, and now there are only five days left, it is impossible to collect 1 million tons of electrolytic nickel, right? If you are destined to default, then why continue to persist?"
Yang Chen: "You don't need to worry about these. It's my own choice. No matter what the outcome is, I can bear the consequences. Don't say that my compensation for defaulted metal is the loss of state-owned assets. It is the money I earn and has nothing to do with anyone. Yes. Some people send their wives and children abroad to make money at home. Why not say that state-owned assets are lost?
"Haha... you... I have nothing to say. Okay, I know what you mean, so I wish you success. As an old friend, my attitude is that if we can't guarantee that we will definitely collect 3 million tons of electrolysis Nickel, it is better to choose reconciliation. Please refer to it. Hang up." Mayor Wang said helplessly, and then hung up the phone.
Yang Chen let out a sigh of relief. The key to the outcome between him and Glencore now is whether the 1 million tons of electrolytic nickel can enter the Huaqing Group's warehouse on time.
Therefore, he called Pan Qingguo to ask about the current status of receiving goods.
Soon, the call was connected.
Pan Qingguo: "Haha...Mr. Yang, what are your orders?"
Yang Chen: "Nothing, just asking how the goods are."
Pan Qingguo: “According to the branch report,
A total of 300,000 tons of electrolytic nickel has now entered our warehouse. I have ordered them to be shipped to Daxia immediately. The Philippines and Indonesia are not far from Daxia and can be reached in just a few days. Maoziguo transports directly by truck, which can arrive faster. For the goods from the United States, Pan Qingguo sent his son to pick up the goods in person. The only uncertainty now is in Kangaroo Country, where there has been no news of delivery yet. "
Yang Chen: "How many are there in Kangaroo Country?"
Pan Qingguo: "We signed a contract there for 300,000 tons."
Nearly one-third of the volume is purchased from there. If there is a problem with the delivery there, it will indeed affect the overall situation.
Yang Chen quickly asked: "Can we buy another 300,000 tons from other places?"
Pan Qingguo: "It's a bit difficult. In just a few days, 1 million tons have to be purchased, which is equivalent to more than one-third of last year. In addition to the new production in their mining area, what is being purchased now is Previous inventory. These are the only manufacturers that have the goods now. I have searched them all. It is impossible to purchase 300,000 tons from other places in a short time."
Yang Chen hummed and said nothing, thinking about how to deal with it.
A few seconds later, Pan Qingguo said with a smile: "If Mr. Yang is really worried that there may be problems with the delivery from Kangaroo Country, it is better to buy some from Qingshan Group. As the world's second largest trader, they must have more than 30 Thousands of tons of inventory.”
Yang Chen: "Haha... That's right. How could I have forgotten him. Okay, then I'll call Zhang Qingshan and ask. You should be tight here and collect all the goods as soon as possible."
Pan Qingguo laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I will never delay your business."
Yang Chen laughed, hung up the phone, and quickly called Zhang Qingshan and asked him to go out for dinner in the evening.
The matter between Yang Chen and Glencore is not over yet. Zhang Qingshan has been living in Haicheng these days and has not returned to Hangzhou.
In the evening, Yang Chen entertained Zhang Qingshan at a government banquet.
The two of them were eating and drinking very happily, and they drank as much as they could.
After three drinks and five meals, it’s time to get down to business.
Yang Chen asked with a smile: "I am still a little short of the 3 million tons of electrolytic nickel that will be handed over to Glencore. Director Zhang, please help me."
Zhang Qingshan: "Haha... I'm just waiting for you to find me. I said that if you want to get so much electrolytic nickel at once, you probably won't be able to get it all. But, if you don't speak up, I'm embarrassed to take the initiative to speak up. Since If you ask me for help now, I will definitely not ignore you. Tell me, how much do you want? You want it within 1 million tons."
