When you hear the word billionaire, the first reaction is often Bill Gates, who was once the richest man, and if there is anyone else, then many people may answer such as Morgan, Rockefeller or even the ethereal Rothschild, etc., if you know more, then the Queen of England can also be counted.

In addition, the richest people in the world are not all in the United States or Europe, and there are some billionaires who are rarely known to the domestic people, including of course the Arab royal family who dig for oil and get rich.

Like Mukesh, India's richest man. Ambani, the famous tycoon in India, has no less assets than Bill Gates, who was once the richest man, and if it weren't for Zhou Liwen's sideways, he would even surpass Bill Gates with a personal wealth of $6.2 billion in 2 years, thus becoming the world's first person.

Remove Mukesh. In addition to Ambani, there is another person who cannot be ignored, and that is the steel giant Lakshmi who controls the world's largest steel company, ArcelorMittal Steel. Mittal, whose personal wealth has exceeded $3 billion, is firmly in the top 10 of the world's richest list.

Plus, there's Anil. Ambani, Achim. Premki, Shahi. Ruya and Ravi. The Ruya brothers, Kusa. Pal. Singh, Savitri. Jindalai and other Indian tycoons, their personal assets are also calculated at tens of billions of dollars, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the rich rival the country.

In addition to these billionaires with huge wealth, India, like the United States, also has a number of family-style consortia, which may not have much personal wealth in terms of individual wealth, but they are still daunting behemoths from the perspective of the entire consortium.

Zhou Liwen had business dealings with India before, of course, it was in his previous life. Although these ordinary three buddies like to procrastinate, have a weak sense of responsibility, and are concerned about prices, India's upper elite is completely different, and their personal ability and judgment in the business world are no less than those in Europe and the United States, and even more decisive in some aspects, which is one of the reasons why they can become super-rich.

When he learned from Li Haifeng that someone had intervened in India, Zhou Liwen immediately thought of the Indian tycoons who occupy an important position in the world's rich list. Although the relations between India and China are not very good, India, which is relatively backward in terms of foundation, has developed well in non-governmental commerce in the field of foreign trade in recent years.

What's more, India's iron ore is also an important source channel for domestic steel mills and steel companies, and even for a period of time, India's ore supply has surpassed Australia and become the channel with the largest proportion of raw material sources. The cooperation between the two sides in this area is earlier than Australia's ore procurement, and if you carefully calculate, you can find that in fact, China and India have been cooperating in ore supply and procurement since the late eighties.

At present, the so-called macroeconomic control has been forcibly promoted by soaring steel prices in China, which has led to the cancellation of unplanned production by steel mills and steel companies, which has affected the purchase orders of ore imports. It is impossible for India, which supplies ore, not to see this change in the Chinese market, which has also attracted their attention because of this incident.

The third buddies are not fools, and the elite is the elite after all. At the same time of losing a large number of ore purchase orders, they soon judged that China's steel price inversion of the macro control can not last, China's domestic steel market weakness is just an illusion, with China's development speed, steel demand is very large, and so the current market inventory consumption to a certain extent, the government's macro control will collapse, steel finished products, including raw material prices will further soar than before.

For this reason, the third brothers and Zhou Liwen also saw business opportunities in it, but due to their habitual procrastination, the move was a little slower, and Li Haifeng met an Indian businessman who also came to China to buy finished steel in the middle of the second receipt.

Compared with Li Haifeng, who quietly entered the village to shoot guns, the Indians did not have the slightest concern, and they were rich and wealthy in unscrupulously casting their nets in China, using the channels of previous iron ore cooperation to hoard a large number of finished steel products. In this case, if Zhou Liwen and Li Haifeng continue their previous strategy, not only will there be mutual bidding to raise prices, but it will even attract the attention of relevant domestic departments.

Zhou Liwen's identity does not have to worry, but Li Haifeng and Zhou Liwen are different, even if he is holding a Xiangjiang passport, he is also Chinese, and it is very troublesome if he is targeted by above. In addition, Zhou Liwen didn't want to make a fuss without eating mutton, unless he decided to give up the huge domestic market, otherwise he still had to maintain friendship on the surface.

As for the Indian side, this kind of hoarding is a one-shot deal, and this is not an investment at all, but a kind of speculation. What if the authorities are not happy? They can't hurt a single hair. Anyway, their business cooperation with China exists as a raw material supplier, and you China wants to purchase iron ore, except for Australia and Brazil, which are exported abroad, and the demand for India is very large. Now that the price of iron ore in the international market has soared, it has shifted from a buyer's market to a seller's market, in this case, unless the relevant Chinese departments have a bad head, they can only pinch their noses and accompany the smiling face, and please the three brothers who hold the supply of raw materials.

The development of things was as expected, and it was similar to what Zhou Liwen expected. In just over a week, the domestic steel market, which has been stagnant, has made waves. Not only the steel mills, but also the steel companies, or some private enterprises engaged in the steel trade, were shocked to find that the Indians had bought up all the stocks on the 70's in one night with almost all the money they could not use up.

The shortage of goods in the steel market has led to the rise in steel prices under the condition of macroeconomic control. Of course, this does not include the pricing of steel mills and steel companies, and the price increase mainly occurs in the finished goods market, that is, in the finished goods distribution channel. In ten days, there was a 2% difference between the market's guide price and the bargaining price, and this difference is still rising with the tight supply.

Like a domino effect, a gentle push of one finger leads to a chain reaction of the entire market. At this time, even idiots can see that the so-called macroeconomic control has completely failed, the consumption of inventories, the lack of output of steel mills and steel companies, and the three changes in price negotiation three times a day, so that the demand of companies and factories have panicked, just like the shareholders who rushed in to buy in the soaring stock market, trying to grab the raw materials needed to produce before the price of finished steel products rises further.

Changes in the market have also made steel mills and steel companies react, in the case of rising market bargaining, even if there is a national guide price? No operator will stupidly look at the money and not make money, learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds. Those steel mills and steel companies that have already sold their inventories and even the planned production of the year are beating their chests, and as for some other steel mills and steel companies that still have inventory in their hands, of course, they have hurriedly stopped selling and put on a posture of watching the limelight and reluctant to sell.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below. The minds of the Chinese are very intelligent, and as long as they react, they can burst out with endless energy. Of course, some people say that since the domestic steel market can't get the finished product, then you won't import it? If someone who says this is heard by an insider, he will definitely be laughed at. Because there is a key problem, due to macroeconomic control reasons, domestic steel prices and international steel prices have long been inverted, according to the current trend of international steel prices, it is not as cheap as bargaining in the domestic relationship. In addition, everyone has seen that when the rotten trick of macroeconomic control comes to an end, domestic steel prices will rise further, in terms of terminology, this is equivalent to a kind of "supplemental rise", and the extent of the increase must at least rise to the same price as the international market.

Looking at the steel market price list in various regions of China just sent in front of him, Li Haifeng's hands were trembling slightly. He never imagined that in just over a month, not even two months, the total investment of 100 million US dollars of 260 million US dollars has now exceeded 200 million US dollars according to the book calculation, and this amount is still increasing over time, you must know that the best net profit of his group in a year is only this number, not to mention the current situation of the current situation of the state canceling and reducing product tax rebates, and the factors of rising raw materials.

"Li Dong, someone has already found us, and I don't know where to get the news that we have a batch of steel in our hands, and the other party proposed to add 0 premium to get the goods according to the current market bargaining, do you think we are temporarily shipping a batch of goods?" Lin Sen was also elated, such a "gamble" made his whole body boil, and he knew very well what the profit now meant, but as Li Haifeng's assistant, he reminded him for the sake of safety.

Li Haifeng took his eyes off the paper in his hand, looked at Lin Sen and frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Aren't we very careful with our purchases? How can someone come to us and ask for a pick-up? ”

"That's like Li Dong, our group has a large demand for steel products, so in the operation I bought a batch of goods in the name of the group, but you can rest assured, this is only a small batch, and the people who came to find it are not outsiders, it is a steel trading company that we have cooperated with before, and he made this suggestion according to me, it is also a tentative inquiry after knowing this."

Li Haifeng breathed a sigh of relief, if this was the case, there would be no problem. His group is engaged in industry, and it is very normal to reserve more sources of goods in the case of low market prices. As for the $260,000 he invested in the bulk acquisition, he had long been very careful to operate in the name of many vests, and the nearly 200,000 tons of finished steel products were scattered and stored by him.

After thinking about it, Li Haifeng shook his head and said: "You can't move now, don't say that the premium 0 can't be sold even if it's a premium 2, you tell them, these goods are needed for the production of our group, and the macro control has not been officially canceled at present, who dares to shoot the first bird in this kind of thing?" ”

"Okay, I'll reply to them like this." Lin Sen nodded, and was about to get up to say goodbye, when Li Haifeng stopped him.

"In this way, you can delete it, if there are traders who have cooperated well with us before, you can reply to them like this, tell them that we are an industrial enterprise, do not do this kind of trade, and our business scope does not include these. But in order for everyone to be a long-term cooperative customer, but also for better exchanges in the future, our group can appropriately allocate a batch of goods to them, of course, this is allocation, is borrowed, and when we need it, they will return it to us in kind. ”

Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Haifeng, who had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and reacted instantly, laughing and stretching out his thumb to him: "Dong Li, your trick is really high."

Not only did they shut their mouths, but they also did not offend anyone. Okay, I'll do it."

Li Haifeng watched Lin Sen leave with a smile, feeling extremely comfortable. Picking up the market quotation just now, he couldn't help but hum a little song, although he only accounted for 3 of the current $200 million in income, but this is also a full $660,000 benefit, which is equivalent to 860 million yuan in RMB, just a few days, he borrowed Zhou Liwen's 600 million yuan to pay it back, not to mention that when the price rises again, it will be pure income.

Lin Sen sent the traders he found according to Li Haifeng's explanation, although his words were very polite and his attitude was very sincere, but the traders were all businessmen who sold at low prices and high prices to make profits, and they would not agree to Li Haifeng's operation method to kill them. According to the current bargaining price increase, if they do this, they will have to lose money in the future, and finally reluctantly shook their heads and rejected Lin Sen's "kindness".

In this way, Li Haifeng's side did not offend people and calmed down the matter, and he also took this opportunity to make the raw material inventory sufficient, coupled with the increase in the price of foreign orders in the future, the company's profits will naturally increase a lot. The problem of cash flow shortage is no longer a problem.

But the next situation made Li Haifeng, including Lin Sen, stunned again. Due to Zhou Liwen's instigation of Li Haifeng's early move, coupled with the large-scale purchase of Indian businessmen later, the domestic steel market has changed greatly compared with the original history. Historically, this macroeconomic control would have lasted for about 10 months, until Indian businessmen had almost exhausted their market stocks.

But now it is very different, the Indians have discovered that someone has gone ahead of them when they make a move, and they have acted and invested more than in history to seize this opportunity, which has caused a stronger reaction. Within a month of bargaining, the country's macroeconomic regulation and control has become a joke, and it is useless for you to regulate and control at this time. If the price limit is no longer lifted, the country's infrastructure, production, and real estate industries will all come to a standstill, and this year's GDP will not even be able to maintain the level of the previous year, let alone meet the target.

This responsibility is unbearable for anyone, even if it is an important state department that issues macroeconomic regulation and control, but in the end, everyone will be unlucky if this board is hit.

After half a month of hard work, the macroeconomic regulation and control that existed in name only came to an end, and it quietly came to an end more than two months earlier than in the original history. When the macro control is officially over, the steel market price screen, which has long been turbulent, emits a strong energy, and its market price instantly gallops like a wild horse.

0…¨5… 20… 20…-0…。 In just three weeks, the market price has changed almost every day, surpassing the price before the macro control in one breath, and even continuing to rush upward. Affected by the price of China's steel market, major international steel companies have issued a notice to adjust prices at the same time, ranging from 3% to 5% on the basis of the original price. At the same time, various mining companies have also jointly issued a notice on the price adjustment of iron ore and concentrate powder, and waste furnace traders have also followed closely and adjusted the supply price together.

In essence, this farce did not suppress the domestic steel market price, but also played a role in fueling the situation and making the market price rise further sharply. This may be a result that some of the people who make the policy don't even think about, but in any case, in the end, it is the people who come up with ideas that will suffer.

These are not things that Zhou Liwen can deal with, let alone the issues that Li Haifeng and others are considering. At present, they have long been immersed in the joy of harvest, the end of the steel market macro-control and the opening of prices, so that they suddenly make money in their mouths.

At present, steel mills and steel companies are rushing to redo unplanned production in an attempt to make a big profit in this price market that has been completely unraveled. But you know, from the procurement of ore, production and then the finished product into the market, this must have a long turnaround time, even if the steel mills and steel companies use the ore and charge materials in their hands in advance, and increase the purchase of raw materials to ensure later production, but the adjustment of the production plan also takes time, this time is as short as three months, as long as half a year. During this period, the entire market was still a seller's market, with more wolves and less meat, and there was no market.

Indian businessmen, who have also made a lot of money, are smiling and signing new ore supply contracts with domestic steel mills and steel companies, and gradually releasing the hoarded steel products in the Chinese market on the other hand to make huge profits. At this time, Li Haifeng was not idle, following the Indians to break into pieces, a little bit is also releasing goods, although he has tried his best to restrain the speed of releasing goods, so as not to cause market impact of 200,000 tons of various types of steel, but under the hungry market demand, not to mention his goods, even the Indians who have more goods have not smashed a wave, millions of tons of steel are like a drop of water into the vast sea, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
