Chapter 502: Strengthen Your Faith
Because of the promise made to Sun Zhenjiang, Ling Yiping did not intend to transfer the steel in his hand for a while, even if he knew that he could make tens of millions of profits as soon as he changed hands, he did not dare to act rashly. What's more, according to Sun Zhenjiang, the current steel price has not yet reached the peak, and there will be greater profit margins in the future.
Although he made up his mind to continue stockpiling goods, Ling Yiping was still willing to listen to Xin Jinlong's bid, and he wanted to use this information to judge the market shape and determine the best time to ship.
With this thought, Ling Yiping suppressed his disgust with Xin Jinlong and asked, "What price are you going to pay to get the goods in my hand?" ”
"Three thousand...... Three thousand eight, what does Mr. Ling think? Xin Jinlong gritted his teeth and said.
3800! Ling Yiping was excited, he learned that the current steel market price has risen to about 3600, but this price is also priceless, and it is impossible to purchase a large number of them. Xin Jinlong claimed that he was willing to pay a price of 3800 to get the goods from him, which means that Xin Jinlong's next family is willing to pay a higher price, which does not confirm Sun Zhenjiang's prediction, showing that there is more room for steel price increases?
Xin Jinlong said that now the construction companies in the province below are strict about the lack of steel, and they can't buy materials if they have money, so the demand is rigid and will not disappear because of the rise in steel prices. So what Ling Yiping needs to do is to continue to press the goods and wait for the price to continue to soar.
"Boss Xin, don't be funny, 3800 to get the goods, after you go back, you can change hands, at least you can earn another three or four hundred per ton, right?" Ling Yiping pretended to be in control, and said in a mocking tone.
"How do you know?" Xin Jinlong said in surprise. After saying that, he seemed to feel that he had leaked his mouth, and hurriedly changed his words: "How can there be such a high profit, such an expensive steel, who can afford it?" I'm just helping my friend get some goods, and at the price of 3800, I may have to lose money. ”
"If so. Then you don't have to. Ling Yiping got the information he wanted to get, and directly went out to pick people out: "Boss Xin, since you can't make money, then there is no need for us to talk about it anymore." I've got some things to do, so you two can take care of it. ”
"Don't, Boss Ling, what do you think is the right price, we can still negotiate." Xin Jinlong stood up and made a final effort.
"We don't have anything to talk about. Don't say 3800, it's 4000, and I won't make a move. Ling Yiping stated without saying anything.
Seeing Xin Jinlong and Li Chuanping walking out of their office in a gloomy manner, Ling Yiping rubbed his hands, then dialed a phone and instructed the person on the other end of the phone: "Second brother, the day before yesterday you said that there was a batch of round steel in Hongyuan No. 2 Steel Mill, and the asking price was 3,800. You find a way to eat it...... What, won't it be too expensive. It's okay, I tell you, the price of steel has to go up, and it won't stop until it reaches 4500......"
Like Ling, many speculators who are speculating on steel have received similar information in various ways, suggesting that there is a large potential demand in their steel market. Prices will continue to rise. This information is exchanged among speculators, which strengthens their confidence in future prices, thus tempting them to continue to advance towards this pit.
"Mr. Qin, I have said everything according to what you have explained, and Chuanping can testify to me." In Qin Hai's office. Xin Jinlong swept the nouveau riche face before, and humbly reported to Qin Hai how he went to Lingfeng Company. The words he said to Ling Yiping came from Qin Hai's instructions, although he didn't understand the meaning of Qin Hai's words that he asked him to say, but he knew at least one thing, that is, the arrogant "Mr. Ling" was definitely going to be unlucky.
All those who oppose Mr. Qin will not end well, this is a painful lesson that Xin Jinlong learned after testing the law. He was now glad that he was finally no longer on the opposite side of Qin Hai.
"Lao Xin, thank you for your hard work." Qin Hai smiled softly and said, "It's true that I don't have the right people at hand to perform this play, so I invited a few of you all the way over." God knows this, you know and I know, you can't let others know anymore, do you understand? ”
"I understand, I understand, Mr. Qin, don't worry, if I tell Lao Xin about this, I will ......" Xin Jinlong pointed to the sky with a white face, intending to make a poisonous oath to show his heart.
"You don't have to swear." Qin Hai hurriedly stopped and said, "I already knew that you Lao Xin is a man and can be trusted, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you to do this." ”
"Thank you Mr. Qin for your trust!" Xin Jinlong felt that the pores on his body were dilated, and it was a feeling of happiness.
In the impression of Sun Zhenjiang, Pittston, and others, the Chinese authorities have always been passive in their response to the market, and they will only try to remedy problems when they arise, and they have always been a headache and a foot pain, and it is difficult to have a comprehensive consideration. What they never expected was that this time the situation was completely different, the official laid out a game from the beginning, and when Sun Zhenjiang and others thought they had a plan, a hidden rope had quietly slipped around their necks.
The tight supply-demand situation in the steel market continues, and it is showing a worsening trend. Within the Planning Commission, whether it is a truly dedicated official or an insider who is in harmony with the speculators, the information they get is that the Planning Commission is already unable to control the situation, and there is a risk that prices will soar further. Many real and fake buyers wander the market, spreading the intention of being willing to obtain steel at a high price, which makes people feel that the rain is coming.
While creating an atmosphere of insufficient steel supply in the market, a team under the personal command of Wang Hongsheng secretly contacted the material departments of various provinces and cities, and provided them with a batch of steel at internal prices in the name of "special care" to ensure that key projects in various places would not be affected by the rise in steel prices and tight supply. All agencies that received cheap steel were given strict gag orders not to divulge the matter.
Of course, the effect of this kind of gag order is also limited, and Sun Zhenjiang and others still heard some relevant news to some extent, but this news did not arouse their alarm, because it has never been a secret that the Planning Commission has "opened small stoves" for certain specific departments, and they regard this matter as an expedient measure of the Planning Commission in desperation.
Steel prices are still rising step by step, and the Planning Commission has to throw out a batch of steel products every few days, which is called "stabilizing prices." According to information coming from within the Planning Commission, this is the last reserve in the hands of the Planning Commission, and once the reserves are exhausted, the Planning Commission will no longer have the means to intervene in the market.
"Old man Wang is about to be caught blind now, it is said that the batch of steel that was just thrown out was transferred from the strategic reserve, which means that he does not plan to live." Sun Zhenjiang happily shared the information he had gotten with Pittston, and there was some schadenfreude in his tone.
"Sun, I've heard you say the same thing 20 times." Pittston choked angrily, "The amount of money we have transferred to China from various channels has exceeded $10 billion, but now the State Planning Commission still has the ability to continue to throw steel, don't you think it's a bit strange?" ”
"$10 billion? Are there so many? Sun Zhenjiang said in surprise, "If there is really 10 billion US dollars, your intermediary fund alone will be able to eat 10 million tons of steel, this is not counting the steel in the hands of our people, you can't be miscalculated, right?" ”
"How could I have miscalculated!" "You come and look at my stats and see which one is wrong." ”
Sun Zhenjiang stepped forward and checked the number table on the computer. He had some command of English and could read the notes that Pittston had written in the remarks column of the form. Each steel transaction has specific information such as the transaction process, transaction quantity, price, storage location, etc., and includes not only the transactions carried out by the Jiezi Fund, but also the transactions carried out by all speculators connected with Sun Zhenjiang. Sun Zhenjiang looked down from above, and finally saw the total number, which was as much as 20 million tons.
"No, I asked clearly, the reserves in the hands of the Planning Commission, plus the additional production of the steel mills ordered to work overtime during this time, are a total of 12 million tons. Even if there are some internal materials that we don't have in our hands, at most 15 million tons, how can 20 million tons come out? Sun Zhenjiang questioned.
Pittston said with a dark face: "What I count here is only the number we have, didn't you say that there are some other trading companies that have also hoarded a batch of steel?" If you include these steels, the total is likely to be 25 million tons. In other words, the information you have received is far underestimated. ”
"It can't be!" Sun Zhenjiang flatly denied it, "I listened to people inside the Planning Commission, and more than one person said this. Also, at several large steel mills, I also asked people to verify, and the number of reserves they said was not much different from what I had heard. Wang Hongsheng, the old man, has engaged in many industries, and he has a bit of a doorway, but if there is a doorway, it is impossible for him to conjure up 10 million tons of steel, and there must be a mystery in it. ”
"Could it be that Liang and Ling secretly sold the steel they hoarded, what we bought was actually what they sold." Pittston guessed.
Sun Zhenjiang said: "No, they have this heart, and they don't have the courage." Besides, I asked people to check a few days ago, and their steel was still lying in the warehouse, and Liang Zhaohui's kid also complained to me, saying that the money for renting the warehouse alone is thousands every day, and he can't even afford to eat pickles and gruel now. ”
"In other words, we misjudged the shape, but in fact, the Chinese officials have sensed what we mean, and they have made a game for us to get into?" Pittston suddenly thought of a terrible possibility, a sensitivity peculiar to him as an international speculator. (To be continued......)
