Chapter 422: Fueling the Flames

Davos is located in the Grisons region of southeastern Switzerland, near the Austrian border. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The town is world-famous, not only because it's a ski resort, but because of the annual World Economic Forum, which is often held here.

At the end of January, Davos was under a blue sky, and because of the annual meeting of the Davos Economic Forum, the seemingly leisurely Swiss police had begun to maintain order inside and outside the venue.

A nine-storey building near the center of the Economic Forum is inconspicuous, but some thoughtful capitalists can't help but pay close attention to it.

This nine-story building, which is the headquarters of Tatfook Bank in Switzerland, controls a lot of wealth, as well as the huge political resources of Europe and the United States.

As the annual meeting of the Economic Forum at the beginning of 06, the conference will focus on issues such as equity in economic globalization, the enlarged European Union, transatlantic relations, peace in the Middle East, world trade and climate change, and economic recovery under six major topics.

The annual meeting of the Davos Economic Forum will feature 220 seminars and more than 2,250 delegates from 96 countries, including 25 heads of state or government and 72 ministers.

The week-long annual meeting, if you are outside the Economic Forum Center, you can easily see luxury cars coming and going.

Unlike the grand occasion of the forum center, the Davos headquarters of Tatfook Bank seems to outsiders to be very calm.

"President, the price of international metals is still soaring, and the rise of various varieties is very strong." In the ninth-floor proprietary department of Dafu Bank, Luo Hong looked at the metal price trend in the computer and took a deep breath.

"What about international gold spots?"

Ji'er frowned, without the slightest joy.

"Even if there are no other metal varieties to go strong, it has also broken through the $400 per ounce mark, this year's time, the big bull market of non-ferrous metals, the end can be described as magnificent!" Liu Mingxuan sighed.

Ji'er, who was in a slightly heavy mood, glanced at Ye Qian and quickly walked out of the self-management department.

"See, because of his continuous acquisition of rough metals, as well as the use of physical delivery, the purchase of international bulk metal commodities, the world's economic pattern, and even obvious abnormal fluctuations." In her president's office, Ji'er stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the vast economic center of Davos.

"The impact is only one aspect, since the beginning of the economic crisis in '97, the world economy has seen a significant recovery, which in itself is a boost to the price of non-ferrous metals." Ye Qian wanted to try her best to appease Ji'er's emotions.

"Century Holdings invested in a smelter on Novaya Zemlya Island in Russia, and even built a special railway for this purpose. Ji Er suddenly turned around in front of the window and cast an obvious look of doubt at Ye Qian.

"Don't you already have a guess?"

Although Ye Qian did not respond positively, her expression was a little shaken.

"It must be a gold reserve, but what I don't understand is how the 5 million tons of gold under Fuyin Plaza were smuggled out, and the underground vault has not been opened once in these years." Ji'er couldn't help but look annoyed.

"Actually, I don't know, or even know, where the physical delivery of those metal ores and bulk metal commodities went!" Ye Qian shook her head, not like she was perfunctory.

"As the president of Century Holdings, you don't know anything, just let him go on like this? Do you know, through my private accounting, the physical delivery of his raw metal ore and bulk metal this year alone has exceeded 50 trillion US dollars, which is almost hollowing out the family of Century Holdings, if the thing is there, it won't say anything, but the raw ore and physical delivery metal are completely missing......" Annoyed Later, Ji'er couldn't help but be a little speechless.

"The smelters on the Novaya Zemlya Island in Russia are all automated machinery and equipment, and even if there are manpower, they are under closed management, and the number is not very large." Ye Qian only felt that she had said too much to Ji'er.

"What exactly is the purpose of converting gold reserves into copper and iron, and it is not a good option for liquidity." Ji'er tried to calm her mind as much as she could.

"Ruan Yuan has already gone to pick up the boss, and when he comes, you should ask him in person." Ye Qian didn't know how to respond.

"Recently, the demand for non-ferrous metal raw ore and finished products in the smelter on the Russian island of Novaya Zemlya seems to have stopped, could it be because of the financial relationship?" Taking advantage of Zheng Fan's absence, Ji'er, who opened the topic, wanted to learn as much as possible from Ye Qian.

"No matter how huge the amount of money, there is a number after all, since you have calculated the physical delivery of raw ore and finished products, you should be able to think of this, but if you say that Century Holdings has been hollowed out inside and outside, it is also a bit exaggerated, after all, there are still Hong Kong, New York, London, and Davos real estate, and we support the economic construction of North Korea and Russia, or we can recover a small part of the investment every year." Ye Qian had calmed down.

"If Zheng Fan doesn't give the truth, can't you make an exact accounting?" Ji Er somewhat understood Ye Qian's difficulties.

"What can the bottom do, nothing more than the return of 5 million tons of gold reserves, now the international non-ferrous metal commodity circulation is so large, all the mining groups are running at full capacity, once the physical delivery of finished products, the flow of funds and goods will be quite fast, coupled with the relationship of special transportation routes, I believe not only you and me, for others, but also fog." Ye Qian smiled indifferently.

"He is no longer trading non-ferrous metals through Century Holdings and Tatfook Bank, and there seem to be many people in the shadows helping him, otherwise such a large trading volume in a year is simply not something he can do alone." Ji'er said with a deep expression.

"Whether it is the sale of gold reserves, or the purchase of raw metal ore and finished products, it is those international speculators who are pulling the strings, and such a large trading volume will inevitably involve some interests." Ye Qian sat on the sofa.

"Can't we do it?"

Ji Er was very unconvinced, and seemed to have a dissatisfied view of Zheng Fan's reliance on outsiders.

"About the acquisition of minerals, we really can't do it, since the Asian financial crisis gradually subsided, many important mineral groups, has been acquired and integrated by these international speculators, if you want to achieve a large number of acquisitions in a short period of time, as well as the delivery of finished products, you need the help of this interest group, as far as I know, the boss and the world's major mining companies, signed a low-price contract, as for the bull market of non-ferrous metals so rapid, should also have a lot to do with these international speculators!" In some things, Ye Qian still knows more than Ji'er.

"Is it possible to use the raw ore purchased by the boss and physical delivery as a base, and then quickly push up the price of non-ferrous metals? If so, wouldn't these international speculators with mineral groups be the biggest beneficiaries of this round of non-ferrous metals bull market! Ji'er recalled that as early as a few years ago, major international mining companies had well-known capital predators participating in the shares.

"It's not just the boss's business, the current international economic situation is becoming more and more confusing, I believe that the atmosphere of the Davos Economic Annual Meeting will be very dignified." Ye Qian gestured out the window.

"Because the price of non-ferrous metals has skyrocketed, international speculators and predators are surging, but what role does the boss play in it? If the raw ore and the finished product are still alive, at the current price, there should be a huge profit. Ji'er still has some expectations.

"What has become a mystery, how can it be one or two, wait, when the boss is willing to reveal it, it is estimated that these doubts will be solved." Ye Qian only felt that what Zheng Fan had done had gradually escaped the control of many people.

"Didn't you say that it would develop in the southern part of the mainland? Why did you finally choose Russia's Novaya Zemlya, what makes me incredible is that even if Putin comes to power and has our support, after the turmoil of the economic crisis has subsided, it is time to negotiate conditions and fight for its own interests. Ji Er thought that under Zheng Fan's unreasonable actions, the situation would soon get out of control, but a year has passed, and the external political situation has been unexpectedly quiet.

"Not only Russia, but also the North Korea after the reduction of nuclear reactors, especially the change of leaders, and the absence of key information and technology, is also extremely stable, even the complete withdrawal of the Yoshii consortium from that side has not caused any waves, until now, Century Holdings can still enjoy the benefits of basic investment." Ye Qian thought about it and said.

Just when Ye Qian and Ji'er were full of suspicion, after Zheng Fan arrived at Davos, the convoy that picked up the airport did not return to the headquarters of Dafu Bank, but went to the branch of Citibank in Davos.

"It's so rude."

Facing the security inspection of Citibank's branch, Zheng Fan raised his arm and smiled, which made Di Liya's face a little embarrassed.

"The conference room is on the sixth basement floor, and it can even block the attack of a nuclear bomb." Di Liya swiped the card on the elevator and pressed the button on the sixth floor directly, as if she deliberately said it to Zheng Fan.

"The world pattern is so stable, let alone a nuclear bomb, there will not even be a shootout." Zheng Fan took a big puff on his pipe, not caring at all.

"I'm here to copy the characteristics of your later buildings of the Dafu Bank, as far as I know, the headquarters of the Dafu Bank in Davos, as well as the branch on Long Island, are all deep-excavated buildings with nine floors above and below, right?" Di Liya smiled and said to Zheng Fan.

"High-rise buildings are too conspicuous, especially in the operation of the capital market, and some private office environment is still needed." Zheng Fan smiled, and the elevator had already opened the door on the sixth basement floor.

"You should know the rules."

Di Liya looked at the middle-aged man behind Zheng Fan, without the slightest intention of accommodating.
