Chapter 424 Entering the Futures Market!
Yang Ming and Lin Xiuzhi came out of the conference room and went back to the chairman's office.
When Lin Xiuzhi made coffee for the boss again, Yang Ming looked out the window.
At this time, for Yang Ming, he needed a lot of money.
In other words, the primary purpose of establishing the secretariat.
That is to make money.
Get as much money as possible from the global market.
Today, the main source of income for the Empire Group.
First, the income from the global stock market.
Second, the income from electronic game machines.
Third, the income, profits and dividends of the major groups under its umbrella.
Fourth, the cooperation fund of the Empire Group Huifeng Bank.
However, from the current global layout of the Empire Group.
Not only does the upcoming large-scale privatization of Country Y need money, domestic investment needs money, and even Hong Kong needs money.
It seems that the current income of the Empire Group is still very good, especially from the global stock market and global electronic game machines. The income is like a money printing machine, and the money comes quickly.
However, he thinks it is still not enough, especially in the next few years, every step is very critical, and the money spent is also very high.
"Boss, your coffee."
Yang Ming sat down, took the cup of original bitter coffee and took a sip, and immediately felt much more energetic.
"Boss, do you want some sugar?"
Lin Xiuzhi also knew that when it came to making coffee, she felt that she was not as good as Zhou Kaixuan.
The coffee made by Zhou Kaixuan herself had her own way. Not only was the proportion right, but it was very suitable for the boss's taste.
"No, I want to wake myself up."
Lin Xiuzhi also stepped aside.
When Lin Xiuzhi sat down and busy herself with her own things, Yang Ming turned his eyes back to the computer.
The stock market?
Then it was the turn of futures.
Compared to the stock market.
Yang Ming knew that futures made money faster.
However, there were more investment risks.
The most powerful crude oil futures contract has already appeared.
The New York Mercantile Exchange is a futures exchange that listed heating oil futures contracts in November 1978.
This is the earliest crude oil futures contract, but it is not as large as the future crude oil futures market.
In addition to crude oil futures.
There are also London gold futures contracts. Today, these are the futures contracts played by most investors in the world.
In addition to crude oil and gold, there are also various commodities.
Including metals, precious metals, rare metals, agricultural products, stock indexes, bonds, etc.
Especially the London Futures Exchange and the Chicago Futures Exchange, which are very mature in the world and have appeared more than a hundred years ago, or even earlier.
So for Yang Ming, this is his best opportunity to make money from the global market.
"Lin Xiuzhi, you will send me all the global and futures-related newspapers and magazines next."
Futures newspapers and magazines?
Lin Xiuzhi wrote them down.
She did these things immediately.
As one of the three major financial centers in the world in the future, Hong Kong now has its own futures exchange, called the Hong Kong Commodity Exchange, but the trading scale is not large.
In addition, many investors in Hong Kong invest in London gold or Chicago bulk commodities.
It is not difficult for Lin Xiuzhi to find information in this regard.
. . .
At noon.
Huo Jianning, Yuan Tianfan, Liang Botao, Zheng Haiquan, Li Huimin, Albert and others are working in their new office area.
Everyone has a new IBM computer.
Huo Jianning and others did not expect that these IBM computers actually had a local area network.
They could receive the latest internal news from the regional network. Now Yang Ming sent each of them a message, which was to pay attention to all the data and information related to futures.
Futures?
Liang Botao, Zheng Haiquan and others were immediately different when they heard it.
They guessed that the boss might want to invest in futures.
After a morning, in addition to reading related futures books or futures newspapers.
Many of these people are related to finance and are familiar with futures.
Even if they are not familiar with it, now they understand that investing in futures contracts is nothing.
However, futures investment is more risky than stock market investment, and they can't understand why the boss wants them to pay attention to futures.
At noon, when it's time to get off work, you can go to the canteen for lunch.
This is the first time they have eaten in the canteen of the Empire Group.
When they arrived at the canteen, they could easily get a meal that suits their taste with their work ID.
The food in the Empire Group canteen is getting richer and richer.
In addition to Chinese food, there are also Western food, and even buffets. Basically, for these people, it is better than the canteen of the original group company.
If it were any other company, you would have to go out and find food after get off work.
Huo Jianning packed a set of four dishes and one soup. When he saw his boss Sir Yang and his female secretary Lin Xiuzhi also going to eat, he wanted to say hello.
Huo Jianning thought about it and took his four dishes and one soup back to his office seat. While eating, he browsed some newspapers and magazines related to futures.
When he worked in the accounting department of Hutchison Whampoa, Huo Jianning felt a little superior. After all, his academic qualifications were not bad in all aspects. When he came here and found that the other 49 people were no worse than him, his innate sense of crisis came out.
In other words, he wanted to let the boss notice him in this secretariat, so of course he had to show his ability.
Futures?
Huo Jianning took the accounting certificate in the M National Examination. He had learned a lot about finance, but he had never thought about investing in futures.
If it is stock market investment, the risk itself is very high, and futures investment is much riskier than stock market investment.
Huo Jianning was reading the newspaper while eating.
Recalling the relevant content he saw when he took the accounting certificate exam before.
Futures, the English name is Futures, is completely different from spot goods. Spot goods are real goods (commodities) that can be traded. Futures are not mainly goods, but standardized tradable contracts based on certain bulk products, such as cotton, soybeans, oil, etc. and financial assets such as stocks and bonds.
The date of delivery of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later, or even one year later.
The contract or agreement for buying and selling futures is called a futures contract.
The place for buying and selling futures is called a futures market.
Investors can invest or speculate in futures.
. . .
While Huo Jianning was still reading, Albert's voice came.
"Kin Ning, haven't you finished lunch yet?"
Albert was very satisfied with the lunch provided by the Empire Group canteen. It was free and equivalent to their welfare. The most important thing was that there were a lot of Western food here.
Seeing Huo Jianning still eating and reading the newspaper, he walked over.
"Mr. Albert, I want to ask you something."
Albert came and sat down next to Huo Jianning.
"Kin Ning, what do you want to ask?"
"Regarding futures investment, from what I know, futures investment risks are very high. Why does the boss ask us to pay attention to futures-related information?"
