Although he asked, Sumitomo Keigo knew very well in his heart that Kazuya Fukuhara's purpose must be related to copper futures and aluminum futures.

As the head of Sumitomo Trading, and as an elite who single-handedly built Sumitomo Trading Company into a comprehensive trading company, it is difficult for Sumitomo Keigo to know the changes in the metal futures market in the island country.

More than 10 years ago, against the backdrop of the island's rapid economic growth and internationalization, Sumitomo Corporation's commodities gradually expanded to include steel, non-ferrous metals, electrical and electronic products, machinery, agricultural and fishery products, chemicals, textile products, natural resources, and real estate, especially in the metal futures market.

In 1970, Sumitomo Corporation entered the London Metal Exchange, and relying on the Sumitomo Foundation's background and layout in the non-ferrous metals market, Sumitomo Corporation has become more and more influential in the global copper market.

These days, Jiuding Yonghe Fund, the futures department of Sanhe Bank, and Fukuhara Kazuya's Yonghe Fund are all long copper futures and aluminum futures on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, which has already attracted the attention of many financial giants.

He was still investigating the specific situation, but he didn't expect Kazuya Fukuhara to take the initiative to invite him, which is interesting.

"Sumitomo-kun, I won't beat around the bush, this time I'm here to share the feast with you!"

Kazuya Fukuhara said with a smile on his face.

Sumitomo Keigo raised his eyebrows, looked at Kazuya Fukuhara with interest, and said with a smile: "Please speak." ”

Fukuhara Kazuya was sure in his heart, took a sip of rice wine, waved his hand to drive the waiting girl away, and when he confirmed that the door was closed, he lowered his voice and slowly said the words that had been prepared in his heart: "Sumitomo-kun, since World War II, the major consortia of our island country have been dismembered by the British and American ghost animals, although they have been reintegrated over the years, and relying on the growing economic strength of our country, we are rapidly recovering, but on a global scale, our influence is still not large, and we are discriminated against in many places. ”

Hearing this, Sumitomo Keigo nodded sympathetically, he has led Sumitomo Trading Company to do business internationally over the years, but he has been targeted and discriminated against.

In many cases, Sumitomo Trading Company is stronger than many companies, but it is still looked down upon by arrogant white people.

Sumitomo Keigo knew the crux of the matter, but the unhappiness and anger in his heart did not disappear, but continued to motivate him to work hard to grow Sumitomo Trading Company.

"Now, it's time to make our voices heard!"

"At present, I have cooperated with the Galaxy Fund to long copper futures and aluminum futures in the world, and have achieved an advantage, with the strength of Sumitomo Trading, as long as we join in, the victory will belong to us, and the benefits for Sumitomo Trading, the benefits are also very obvious, and will greatly increase the influence in the copper and aluminum markets. ”

"Of course, it also has a great boost to your prestige, and I think that as long as your grades are enough, the master family will not be able to stop you from moving forward. ”

At the end, Kazuya Fukuhara smiled "you know" at Keigo Sumitomo.

The corners of Keigo Sumitomo's mouth lifted slightly, and then disappeared.

The reason why Kazuya Fukuhara said the last words to Keigo Sumitomo was because of Keigo Sumitomo's identity.

Although he also has the same surname as Sumitomo, he is a side branch of the Sumitomo family, not the head of the family.

It's just that because Sumitomo Keigo is too capable, he stands out from the sidelines and is now in charge of Sumitomo Corporation, one of the core enterprises of the Sumitomo Foundation, and is also one of the four major traders in the island country.

At present, Keigo Sumitomo can be said to be the most prominent of the many collateral lines of the Sumitomo family, and he is the leader of his lineage.

The most indispensable thing in the big family is competition, and the competition between the main vein and the branch vein is an eternal situation.

The stronger the family strength, the greater the benefit to the main lineage, but the main line is afraid that the side line strength is too strong, threatening their dominance in the family, and even once the dragon and snake transpose.

However, the Sumitomo family is a family with a history of more than 300 years, and the founder of the Sumitomo family has a long-term vision and set up a family motto early, which stipulates that competition within the family can exist, but it must be benign and cannot become a vicious struggle, and for the long-term development of the family, if the main line is not as good as the side branches, the family helmsman can be replaced.

Therefore, in each generation of the Sumitomo family, there are many collateral lines who try to use the merits of pouring heaven to lead their own dominant family step by step.

Kazuzu Fukuhara is also very clear that Sumitomo Keigo has ideas about the position of the head of the Sumitomo family, and he is also the most promising success in the side branch of the Sumitomo family at present, although the hope is still very small, after all, the contribution to the Sumitomo family is not enough to convince the public.

But as long as he accumulates a little bit of credit and influence, it is possible after all!

"Fukuhara-kun, as far as I know, now the US bears have Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers entered the game, and the latest news shows that the British Baring Bank has begun to short-sell on a large scale, are you sure that the Galaxy Fund can withstand it?"

Keigo Sumitomo pondered for a long time and asked solemnly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Fukuhara's eyes, he really didn't know that the British Bank of Baring had also entered, but considering that Sumitomo Trading Company already had a branch in London, the news should not be wrong.

Although there are many giants in the short side, Kazuya Fukuhara is full of confidence in Xia Yu, in his opinion, Sumitomo Keigo will say this, it is nothing more than not understanding Xia Yu and the Jiuding Consortium.

He said confidently: "Sumitomo-kun, you can rest assured, if it weren't for the certainty of victory, I wouldn't be able to join, and your news is better than mine, you should know that the bears and bulls are still evenly matched, which shows the strength of the Galaxy Fund." ”

"As long as you join, with Sumitomo Corporation's position in the global copper market, the balance of victory will definitely be completely tilted in our favor!"

Sumitomo Keigo thought for a moment, smiled and nodded, "Yoxi!"

"Since the Chinese dare to collide with the British and American ghosts, how can my Yamato nation lag behind!"

"It's time for those white people to see what we Asians are capable of, so that we don't always look at us with discrimination!"

"Fukuhara-kun, happy cooperation!"

"Sumitomo-kun, happy cooperation!"

"Hahaha......"

After laughing, Kazuya Fukuhara asked again, "Sumitomo-kun, when are you going to do it?" ”

"Hmm...... You also have to give me time to prepare, so that in two days, I will arrange for someone to do it!"

......

After Sumitomo Corporation agreed to join, it immediately started in the copper futures and aluminum futures markets of the island countries.

In this way, it is equivalent to the Sumitomo consortium and the Sanwa consortium at the same time long copper futures and aluminum futures, although the other four major consortiums are concerned, but will not produce head-on conflicts for some interests, as for the other six major consortiums other than the financial companies, but do not have the courage and strength to oppose the two major consortiums at the same time, so the price of aluminum futures and copper futures in the island country has soared.

Two days later, after learning about the latest situation, Sumitomo Keigo had a lot of confidence in the Galaxy Fund, and then called the head of the metal trading department of Sumitomo Corporation's London branch to join the bulls.

George Berkeley, who was paying close attention to the battlefield, called Xia Yu and got the order to attack on a large scale, summoned relevant operators to deploy tasks, and then attacked in a big way.

And that's not all, George Berkeley also instructed his Financial Times Group, Mirror Group and other media to cooperate and publish short-term bullish news on copper futures and aluminum futures.

The Bank of Bahrain was not aware of it, and in an instant it was defeated by the surging offensive, and the person in charge of futures of the Bank of Bahrain was so frightened that he immediately invested a large amount of money and increased his efforts to short-sell.

For a time, the global copper futures and aluminum futures markets ignited wars in many places, and the market became chaotic.
