Chapter 167: Poisonous Temptation

In the minister's office, Yasuo Hamanaka hung up the phone call from the front desk, and a trace of doubt and incomprehension flashed in his eyes.

Who is Shen Jiannan?

In the British financial and speculative industries, there is really no one who does not know it. Brought down the Finnish mark, took out the Italian lira, and broke the pound and robbed the Bank of England. The oriental face that hung in the newspapers every day did not help him to put another horn on his head in the hearts of all European speculators.

Yasuo Hamanaka never thought that Akiyama Jiannan was Shen Jiannan, who had recently been in the financial market.

How could such an international speculative predator come to Sumitomo?

Two minutes later, full of doubts and suspicions, Yasuo Hamanaka got up and went to the company's reception department, and when he saw Shen Jiannan's face, he was even more puzzled.

is the same as what the front desk said, it is indeed Shen Jiannan.

In the newspapers and on TV, Hamanaka Yasuo no longer remembers how many times he saw that kind of face in the newspapers and on TV, and even once he happened to go to Canary Wharf to run errands, and he encountered it.

In the end, it was the chief trader of Sumitomo Trading, and after the shock, Yasuo Hamanaka quietly greeted Shen Jiannan with his unique etiquette.

It is a very xenophobic country, especially after establishing their own culture and ideas, they are not willing to integrate into any other culture, even if they are abroad, the real Yue himself will try to maintain the way of life in the book.

Sumitomo Corporation's reception room is clearly very old-fashioned.

There was no dust to be seen on the wooden floor, and the only furniture in the huge space was a set of wooden coffee tables and two futons, and nothing else.

Very monotonous and simple furnishings.

Sweeping everything in the room, Shen Jiannan's eyes flashed with a rare look of appreciation.

In the business of speculation, every day in the unimaginable wealth of ordinary people, thinking of heaven and hell, back and forth repeated baptism, the people who can survive are either extremely crazy and have no taboos, or they are indifferent to human nature and lack reverence for life, or they are empty-eyed and look down on all living beings.

But judging from the layout of the office to the reception room and the information in the intelligence, this guy Yasuo Hamanaka is going to the other extreme.

Self-discipline.

Self-discipline is almost like a machine, almost to the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Twenty years have been the same, and such a person is so strong-willed that it is almost impossible to find his weakness.

If you hadn't known about Yasuo Hamanaka, no one would have thought that with Yasuo Hamanaka's current status, he would continue to maintain this self-disciplined living habit.

After a simple greeting and politeness, the two sides sat down cross-legged on the tatami mats in the reception room, and the secretary, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly knelt on the side and made tea.

The light tea is full of enthusiasm, and in the smoke and dust, a light and elegant fragrance comes from the surface.

With tea, Shen Jiannan opened the conversation as if this was his home field.

"Hamanaka-kun is not surprised. ”

This is a topic that makes people be in a passive state when answering, but Yasuo Hamanaka has no way not to answer, the aura on Shen Jiannan's body is too strong, and that kind of aura he has only felt in the current president of Sumitomo, Qiu Shui Fu.

"It's really very unexpected, I really didn't expect it to be Shen Jun. I don't know if you have any advice when you come. ”

Holding a teacup, Yasuo Hamanaka replied with restraint and no rudeness.

Very clever rhetorical question.

It has taken back control of the home stadium without being abrupt.

But Shen Jiannan didn't take it seriously, if Sumitomo cooperated, then cooperate once, if he didn't cooperate, then it would be better to die.

"I can't advise. The economic recession in Europe is the general trend, and the North American market is still in a recovery cycle. I don't know if Sumitomo is interested in taking advantage of this to win more market share. ”

“......”

Yasuo Hamanaka's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Shen Jiannan said these things, he was thinking about not long ago.

The European currency is in turmoil, capital has been fleeing, and I am afraid that for a long time, the European economy will not be able to improve, and the same is true of the domestic economy, which has been hit hard, and even a consortium like Sumitomo has not been allowed to expand the scale of overseas investment.

It is precisely because of these comprehensive reasons that the international copper price has been sluggish recently, and in just one month, the copper price has fallen from $2,549 to $2,253.

The decline is more than 10 percent.

This is undoubtedly not a good situation for Sumitomo Metal Industries.

In order to hedge his losses on the spot, Yasuo Hamanaka had to increase the size of his short positions in the market to resist the losses brought by the decline in copper prices.

But market hedging is not a long-term solution.

Yasuo Hamanaka thinks that if he can control more copper transactions, he can eat both ends, increase the spot price, and the profits of the major copper companies controlled by the company will not be damaged, and then force the market short in the futures market and establish a long position, which can completely realize the spot and futures to make money together.

However, there is this idea, that is, in the recent period, Yasuo Hamanaka has never revealed this idea to anyone, even the chairman of the group, Akimizutomi, does not know at the moment.

He really didn't understand why Shen Jiannan's eyes were so confident, and his tone was so affirmative, as if he knew his purpose.

In the end, he has experienced a lot of murderous baptism in the market, although he was very shocked, but there was no discoloration on Yasuo Hamanaka's face, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and took Shen Jiannan's words lightly.

"I don't really understand what Shen Jun means!"

"Oh. Doesn't Hamanaka-kun see this as a good opportunity, for example, for some copper companies with high production costs that have unfortunately gone bankrupt because of the collapse in copper prices. ”

Hamanaka Tainan is not a fool, where can he not hear what Shen Jiannan meant.

Not all copper companies know how to hedge against risk in the financial markets, and if the price of copper plummets, some small copper companies will inevitably go bankrupt.

Even if the risk hedging is carried out in the financial market, there is a certain degree, and the trading volume of the financial market is there, but the global spot copper trading is so huge, once the market plummets, the registered warehouse receipt is not enough to deliver, and it will force those large but high-cost copper companies to go bankrupt.

At that time, Sumitomo can use a very low price to acquire many bankrupt and bankrupt companies to complete the industry reshuffle.

Bang bang bang –

Yasuo Hamanaka's heart beat wildly involuntarily.

Although he knew that a guy like Shen Jiannan would never be kind enough to give Sumitomo any advice, and this temptation might even be poisonous.

"Shen Jun is from Huaxia!"
