People often say what is most important in the 2l century, and the answer to the question is often the word "talent", but when it comes to what industry is the most profitable in the 2l century, Zhou Liwen can clearly tell them that in the first ten years of the 2l century, in addition to arms, drugs, and finance, the most profitable industries are high-tech and bulk commodity industries.

Needless to say, the first three are recognized by everyone, as for the high-tech industry, as a high value-added product, its profits are sometimes more lucrative than arms dealers, just like Zhou Liwen's current or mobile phones, tablets and Alipay, Taobao including Ahri These industries. If Zhou Liwen had been focusing on Guo's business, he might have become a billionaire in a few years, and even rely on the profits from the logistics industry and the express delivery industry to occupy a place in the list of domestic billionaires. But you must know that if he does this, it is absolutely impossible for him to reach the height of wealth and status he currently has, which is the charm of the high-tech industry.

The high-tech industry, not only the IT industry, but also includes biology, pharmaceuticals, precision instruments, etc., if you are interested in carefully examining the most profitable companies in the top 6, you can find that a large part of them are related to the high-tech industry. High technology, in a sense, is also a kind of monopoly, but its monopoly is based on patents and technology, and it is fundamentally different from the ordinary market monopoly.

And the last one is the commodity industry, which is even more frighteningly profitable. At present, China's real estate market is booming, and Zhou Liwen is well aware that in the past few years, the development of China's real estate industry will create a large number of new wealthy people. Don't forget, real estate is not just about developing and selling buildings, it has a great impact on the industry, and there are many surrounding industries that are changing with this market. In addition, construction in various parts of China is in full swing, which further promotes this huge market. The market needs to be consumed, and there will be changes to the commodity industry. The simplest example, the country's forced macroeconomic regulation and control of domestic steel market prices shows this, the soaring prices of various steel, so that the relevant departments have played this stinky move, in a vain attempt to use administrative means to manipulate steel prices, Zhou Liwen 00 assertion, the failure of this macroeconomic control is just around the corner.

The bulk commodity industry not only includes iron ore, coal and other related products in the steel industry, but also affects non-ferrous metals, oil, rice, soybeans and other commodities. As for others, Zhou Liwen is not in consideration for the time being, but Zhou Liwen is very interested in the domestic steel prices under the current macroeconomic control.

At present, the price of international heavy scrap steel is 26 US dollars, but the finished steel in the domestic market has been compressed to 80 just from this point of view, the difference between each other has reached about 2%, which has not calculated the price of international finished steel, if you add this part, the difference is even around 05%.

Many people can earn 20,000 yuan with 10,000 yuan, and if they use 1 million to earn 2 million, many can achieve this goal. However, when the invested capital exceeds a certain limit, the proportion of profit obtained is also lower and lower. In this case, simple mathematical formulas are no longer true, and l may not be equal to 2 may be equal to - or. 6 It may even be less than the investment of a large amount of money, so that the proportion of the rate of return decreases, which is a business law that every businessman is very clear. A huge fortune like Zhou Liwen, whose wealth has reached a terrible amount, has very few opportunities to get a huge return on his investment.

If we calculate according to the mathematical equation and add up 0 cases of 2% or even lower, then the richest man will always be the richest man, and his assets will become a huge number that people all over the world are afraid of. But can this calculation actually be valid? Obviously it is impossible to hold up.

Li Haifeng's position adjustment made Zhou Liwen see this business opportunity, he judged that this is a business that is very worth investing in, and the time for investment and income will definitely not be too long, as short as half a year, and the longest is only a year. In addition, he wants to pull Li Haifeng in this way, as a relative and someone who has helped him, Zhou Liwen will definitely not be stingy.

Li Haifeng is also an entrepreneur who has been in the shopping mall for a long time, and he quickly understood it when Zhou Liwen made this suggestion. Of course, without Zhou Liwen's participation, it would be impossible to operate with the current amount of funds of the Li family, because his current corporate cash flow has been in short supply, and he can no longer spare funds to do this.

But Zhou Liwen proposed to do it together, and Li Haifeng didn't care about it at all. When it comes to domestic business channels and connections, Li Haifeng's bottom line is incomparable to Zhou Liwen, his worth is not as much as Zhou Liwen, and the company's assets are small, but after all, he has been in this industry for many years, and it is much more convenient to operate than Zhou Liwen.

The two discussed behind closed doors for a long time, and finally Zhou Liwen decided to invest 200 million US dollars in Li Haifeng, in this cooperation, Zhou Liwen's income should occupy 70% Li Haifeng is responsible for specific operations, accounting for 3% of the profit. This distribution ratio, on the surface, Li Haifeng took advantage of it, but in fact, Zhou Liwen did not suffer a loss.

Li Haifeng is a shrewd businessman, and he rushed back to Xiangjiang in advance the next day, and immediately took action when he returned to Xiangjiang.

He did not come forward in the name of his own Li company, but used several companies registered overseas as operating companies, and then began to buy finished steel products in China to hoard.

At first, Li Haifeng thought that this kind of procurement hoarding would encounter some resistance, after all, the domestic and foreign steel prices are now upside down, and all private iron and steel companies have temporarily closed down for rectification due to the influence of iron capital, and state-owned iron and steel enterprises have canceled unplanned production because of the inversion of the prices of raw materials and finished products, so as to maintain planned production to cope with the superiors. In this case, there may be some problems in the procurement of these steel products, such as the situation that steel mills are reluctant to sell or sell in limited quantities. To this end, Li Haifeng has also made several preparations to use money and connections to open up these links.

Who would have thought that at the time of the official operation, Li Haifeng was very surprised to find that he did not encounter any resistance in procurement, and some of the steel mills and steel companies contacted agreed to Li Haifeng's demand, and even hoped that Li Haifeng would buy more of their products, and even further reduce the price slightly.

Li Haifeng was surprised at first about this situation, and then he was relieved when he learned about the situation. It turns out that although the domestic steel price is currently upside down, the price of finished steel is much lower than the price of foreign charge, but because of this reason, it has formed a peculiar market climate in the domestic market.

In fact, this market climate is almost similar to that of the stock market, which can be summed up in one sentence: buy up, not buy down. In the view of most enterprises, including real estate developers, the country's macro-control to suppress steel prices has achieved remarkable results, the momentum of rising steel prices has been curbed, and the market price is now all the way down, perhaps it will not be long before it will fall to the level of 60 more than a year ago, and may even fall to the range of 50 to 0.

In this case, the more the price falls, the more reluctant buyers will be. With the exception of some steel that must be procured to sustain production or construction, few people are willing to stock up, and all are waiting to see if steel prices continue to fall. In their opinion, the lower the price, the smaller the cost and the greater the profit. So in this case, whoever buys more is a fool's egg.

As for steel mills and steel companies, in this case, due to the compression of production and the cold market, they have a backlog of products and cannot sell quickly, which also leads to capital turnover difficulties for steel mills and steel companies. Li Haifeng wants to pay for these products, which is undesirable for them, as for the losses, they have already canceled the unplanned production plan, as for the planned production plan, this is something pressed down by the superiors, so these losses are naturally made up for by subsidies from relevant departments. In this case, the most important thing is to withdraw the funds, isn't it?

There has never been a shortage of smart people in this world, and there are many smart people in China, but it is often not these smart people who really make money, but "fools" like Li Haifeng and Zhou Liwen. After hearing the news, Li Haifeng couldn't help but laugh, it seems that this matter is much easier than he expected,

The funds of 200 million US dollars were dispersed by Li Haifeng into the accounts of several companies, and then received the goods in batches from steel mills and steel companies in various regions of the country. Li Haifeng is an old mage, and he has known the truth of low-key life in the business world for many years, although his receipt of goods is going very smoothly at present, but after all, he cannot be without the vigilance of the relevant departments.

Li Haifeng agrees with Zhou Liwen's point of view that this kind of macroeconomic control will definitely fail, and domestic steel prices will definitely rise again, and when this time it rises, the momentum will be far stronger than the previous one, and the increase will be higher. In this case, if Li Haifeng loses money, maybe the relevant departments will not pay attention to him, but once he makes money, he may not get into some trouble. This is also the reason why he was especially careful not to come forward with his own company, but to put on a vest and quietly enter the village.

In less than a month, Li Haifeng's $200 million was almost spent, and after learning about the progress, Zhou Liwen thought about it and simply allocated him another $100 million to let Li Haifeng continue to operate. But no one expected that when Li Haifeng was carrying out the second wave of receiving operations, a surprising news came.

"Glue Steel asks for a reduction in the contract amount?"

In Xiangjiang's office, Li Haifeng looked at Lin Sen sitting in front of him, and a business fax he had just received, and couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, according to the previous agreement, we ordered 10,000 tons of rebar and 20,000 tons of standard steel ingots from Rubber Steel, but now the other party says that it cannot supply so many goods and asks to reduce the contract amount." Lin Sen replied with a solemn expression, for the sake of confidentiality and security in this operation, Li Haifeng handed over the specific affairs to Lin Sen to deal with, on the one hand, Lin Sen was his assistant, and secondly, considering that he was his own person, he was in charge of this matter far more reassuring than others coming forward.

"Have you confirmed?"

Lin Sen nodded: "I have already called the other party directly to confirm, and the other party now proposes two plans, the first plan is to directly modify the contract amount and complete the cooperation by batch delivery." The second option is ....... ”

"What is it?" Li Haifeng asked.

"Add $0 per ton to fulfill the contract." Lin Sen replied.

Li Haifeng's face was difficult to look at all of a sudden, didn't this girl take advantage of the fire to rob? You must know that when they first contacted Jiaogang, the other party was so happy that they couldn't close their mouths when they learned that they were going to purchase this batch of steel, and they were very attentive. When signing the contract, he also asked Li Haifeng if he could order more goods here, and if he could buy all their remaining inventory in one go, they could still bear part of the transportation costs or something. But how long has it been, and the other party has actually changed his hexagram, not only to modify the contract to reduce the supply, but also to put forward a request for a price increase, which is not intended to play tricks.

can be angry, but if you want Li Haifeng to go directly to the rubber steel side to seek justice, don't even think about it, the rubber steel is not a private enterprise, it is an authentic state-owned enterprise, according to the administrative level or the vice ministerial level of the enterprise. In a company like this, if you play a scoundrel with him, he will tell you the rules, and if you tell him the rules, he will play a scoundrel with you.

"If the contract is amended, what kind of law will it be? Do they have a plan? Li Haifeng endured the anger in his heart and asked Lin Sen, Lin Sen hurriedly conveyed the other party's conditions, and after listening, Li Haifeng was so angry that he almost dropped the cup.

According to the contract of a total of 30,000 tons of steel, if the other party modified the plan to carry out, then equal to the first batch of normal delivery of steel at most 66 tons, as for the remaining 260 tons of steel will be delivered in five batches in the next year, and the contract will indicate that the price at that time will be negotiated in accordance with the agreement between the two parties, in addition to the glue steel also requires a sentence at the end of the final interpretation of the right to belong to the glue steel, such as policy reasons can not perform the contract, the rubber steel does not bear any responsibility.

This is simply a bully clause, where is there a way to do business? If possible, Li Haifeng even wanted to drag the leaders of Jiaogang over and beat them up so that they could teach them how to do business.

But this is impossible, holding back the anger in his heart, Li Haifeng finally calmed himself down. He pondered carefully about the strange changes in this matter, could it be that the above policy on macroeconomic regulation and control could be revoked in advance? But he didn't hear the news, and this is just a change in one company, as for several other steel mills and steel companies did not ask for this, so what is the reason for this change?

For a while, Li Haifeng couldn't figure out what the reason for the change in rubber steel was, but he would never easily accept this way of modifying the contract. For this reason, he decided to delay it for a while, and let Lin Sen immediately understand the situation through various channels and find out what was inside.

The price increase is $0 a ton, although this is not large, it is $20,000 based on 20,000 tons. In terms of the funds currently in Li Haifeng's hands, these funds can still be afforded, but no matter what, business is business, and even if he finally comes out with this money, he must find out what the reason is.

Lin Sen is worthy of being Li Haifeng's right-hand man, it only took one day to figure out the situation, when he rushed to Li Haifeng to report with the news he could inquire, Li Haifeng suddenly felt that the matter was a little tricky after hearing it.

"There can't be anything wrong with this news?" Li Haifeng confirmed again and again.

"There will be absolutely no mistake, this is a supervisor of the International Trade Department of Jiaogang to inquire, in order to get the words out of his mouth, I deliberately spent 30,000 yuan. In addition, I also learned about it through a friend from the local government, and I also confirmed this situation. Lin Sen said, and told Li Haifeng the authenticity of his news very confidently.

"No wonder." Li Haifeng muttered to himself, he frowned and thought about it, and hurriedly instructed Lin Sen: "In this way, you immediately contact Jiaogang, and say that we agree to raise the price by $0 to fulfill the contract, and at the same time, I will give you the authorization to pay a premium of $2, except for Jiaogang, if the other steel mills and steel companies have similar problems, you don't have to report, you can directly follow this procedure." The point is that these contracts must be completed as quickly as possible so that they can be delivered in the shortest possible time. ”

"I understand, I'll go right away" Lin Sen didn't drag his feet at all after hearing this, nodded and hurriedly went to make arrangements.

After Lin Sen left, Li Haifeng took a puff of cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and then picked up the phone and called Zhou Liwen.

"Arwen, it's me"

"Uncle, what's wrong with me?" Zhou Liwen's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"There's been a bit of a change in the receipt, and now someone has stepped in." Li Haifeng said with a wry smile.

Zhou Liwen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Is the relevant department alert?" Still is......? ”

"It's not the case, it's someone who did the same thing as us."

"Who? Which company? ”

"Foreign, Indian Ah San" Li Haifeng smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the dead Ah San's nose was so smart, and it actually came out at this time, and now the other party is already negotiating with Jiaogang, trying to win the product at a higher price than the price we originally signed." ”

Zhou Liwen was also surprised, he was stunned and asked, "What is the situation now?" ”

Li Haifeng told Zhou Liwen about his decision, and Zhou Liwen did not object after hearing it, and agreed with his decision, but he still asked about the use and progress of the funds for the second receipt, and now that the situation has changed, will it lead to a change in policy. After all, before they were a family eating alone, now there are two or even three and more competition, so that the market price will be variable in this case, once it causes a chain reaction, then it will inevitably attract the attention of the above, perhaps end the macro control in advance, and even the relevant departments may not necessarily be traced.

Li Haifeng told him that now the second batch of 100 million US dollars has only been used up, and if all the contracts in hand are fulfilled, then there will be a balance of about 860,000 US dollars. After Zhou Liwen heard this, after thinking about it, he decisively asked Li Haifeng to stop after fulfilling the current contract, anyway, they have received almost the goods at present, for the sake of safety, it is better to stop in advance.
