2 days later, Li Feng's New York mansion.

Early in the morning, Wang Siqing handed several documents to Li Feng and explained: "John, this is some investigation reports on the four major grain merchants and global commodity trading companies, according to Kuva, this thing really took a lot of thought. ”

In the past two days, Li Feng comforted Beyoncé, the black beauty, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel for a while, and similarly, several women in the family naturally would not be left out in the cold, and fortunately, Li Feng's strong body could withstand it, and every time he left the unsatisfied body from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and returned home, he could be completely released.

Yesterday put Beyoncé back, and now Li Feng is honestly staying at home. No, early in the morning, Wang Siqing helped bring the information that Li Feng wanted.

Since the last time he communicated with the two bigwigs of Bunge, Li Feng suddenly wanted to know about Bunge and the four major grain merchants, as well as the Markridge and Glencore companies that the two mentioned before, and then knew through simple research that commodity trading companies like Glencore unknowingly played a very important role in this world.

Generally speaking, most of the world's commodity trading companies are unknown, especially before the explosion of Internet information, for ordinary people, who cares about those commodity trading giants, only those top elites will care.

Whether it is the ABCD Big Four grain merchants and other agricultural and sideline food bulk trading, or those energy, mining and commodity trading companies, these giants are quietly influencing all aspects of the world.

Li Feng had only heard of these companies before, but he didn't care, after all, he had no contact with these giants at present, but with the voluntary invitation of the two bigwigs of Bunge, Li Feng naturally began to think about learning about this situation.

……

Speaking of large transactions, I have to mention one person, that is the aforementioned Macridge, the former American imperialist Jew is definitely a legend in this regard, with various titles such as 'the king of modern commodity trading, the king of oil'.

Today, there are four major grain companies in the world, such as the four major agricultural and sideline food trading giants that directly control nearly eight layers of the world, as well as energy and mining commodity trading giants such as Glencore, Vitol Group, Trafigura, etc.

Among them, Glencore's name is the loudest, Glencore's predecessor is the Macridge company founded by Macridge, but commodity companies often rely on trade differences for profits, and they are all cross-border trade, which is often easy to involve in the political economy of various countries, resulting in many secrets that ordinary people can't see.

For example, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, there may be hostility between the two camps, but for this commodity company, the hostility between the two camps is an opportunity for them.

In this way, the bigwigs of these commodity companies have very close relationships with the political and economic powerhouses on both sides, such as the aforementioned Macridge, whose network is said to be from the Middle East to the United States, from the former Soviet Union, Russia to Europe.

A phone call may be able to contact the oligarchs in Russia, the royal families of the oil countries in the Middle East, or the oil and energy giants in Europe and the United States, such as Mobil and Shell.

Macridge is said to have been too involved in politics at that time, including the Iranian hostage incident or something, it is said that he was involved in it, and every time the United States wants to impose sanctions on a country, Macridge often conducts a lot of trade in this country, which leads to Macridge being wanted by the American government.

......

As a reborn person, Li Feng also knows that after the new century, commodity giants such as Glencore, which are mainly trade-oriented, have changed their business models and began to participate in investment in raw materials such as energy and mining, so that the company can grasp upstream resources and expand profits.

Later, Glencore has become a giant that can be compared with international mining giants such as Brazil's Tamsui and BHP Billiton, and its influence can be imagined as a giant that controls the underlying upstream resources and global commodity trading with the other.

According to these intelligence analysis, Woolsey and the others believe that those commodity companies are now starting to get involved in the upstream supply chain, such as the four major grain merchants are directly involved in those agricultural production companies, seed companies, spending companies, etc., and such as Glencore, which takes energy mining as the trading center are involved in the energy mining industry, and have begun to think about controlling the supply of upstream resources. Seeing that Li Feng began to flip through the documents, Wang Siqing said again.

"Yes, the original commodity companies are just a trading company in the final analysis, and they make profits with a trade surplus, which is too low, less than 1% of the net profit, and these giants are personally involved in these commodity transactions, and they are very aware of the huge profits obtained from trading after directly controlling raw materials.

Now that these commodity trading companies have money, they will not be satisfied with a trading company, and upstream resources are naturally easier to control.

After all, this world is roughly like this, and those places that produce upstream resources are often the poorest and most chaotic places, which is convenient for these giants to operate, and this world is really wonderful. Li Feng responded with a smile.

"I think John, you can join the Bunge company, didn't you live millions of acres of land before, just cooperate directly with Bunge, so that your land has a stable income, don't you still worry about how to operate after getting these land, isn't it a double win? Wang Siqing joked with a smile.

"I'm interested in joining Bunge, but I'm just thinking about how to choose how to join it, I'm not interested in just taking a name, and I'm not only interested in Bunge, I'm more interested in this Glencore, but unfortunately, Glencore is based far away in Europe. ”

"Hehe... Haven't you forgotten that Macridge's ex-wife has been lobbying the government to cancel the wanted arrest for Macridge, and Woolsey didn't they say that Macridge has made a lot of political donations through his ex-wife. ”

Seeing the information in the document about Markridge's ex-wife who has been helping him say who American politicians want Washington to cancel Macridge's global want, Wang Siqing couldn't help but smile and replied.

……

"It's a place to take advantage of, but Macridge has completely broken away from Glencore, and he has sold all the shares, so he may have to pull a string. ”

"It's enough to pull a line, as for the next it's up to us, and now Glencore has always wanted to control upstream resources, which requires a lot of money, maybe there is a chance." ”

"That's okay, Sister Qing, you contact Kuva's side, and let them find a way to contact Macridge's 'ex-wife' first, and try to contact them first. Looking at the document's comments about Glenon and Macridge's life and his ex-wife's lobbying in the United States, Li Feng finally made up his mind and said.

"Okay, I'll explain what you mean to Kuva and Woolsey, and I think they'll understand what you mean. Wang Siqing said.

"Well, I'm bothering you, Sister Qing!"

"Okay, I'll get in touch. ”

“…”

Seeing Wang Siqing turn around and arrange it, Li Feng couldn't help but flip through the information documents in his hand again, and his understanding of this so-called 'commodity trading' became deeper and deeper.

If Li Feng can participate in it and form influence, it is not that he can make much money, after all, the profits of these commodity companies are very low, just like Bunge's revenue is nearly 20 billion, and the profit is less than 200 million, and if the year is not good, it is even less than 100 million.

But its influence is really huge, and participating in these companies is not about how much money can be made, but about the invisible influence, and if you want to make real money, it is the Internet technology companies in Silicon Valley and NASDAQ that are the most suitable.
