Episode 139 Shopping malls are like battlefields (12) Fighting between the people and the officials

With the deepening of China's reform and opening up, to the nineties of the last century, people have realized what is called "investment and financial management", the two sets of CCTV channels every day, but also broadcast the news about finance and economics throughout the day, stocks are the first choice for the people to invest, this commodity futures can only be the stuff of the rich, when the 'sorghum futures' in the short term, when the violent fluctuations, the mainstream media of CCTV, first reported this.

'May I ask you, as a senior futures analyst, how do you think of sorghum futures, which are already on the rise!' The two veterans of the futures industry were invited to the live broadcast room, and one was also an executive of the SC Commodity Futures Exchange.

"I think the fluctuation of sorghum products, from the world's inflation, before that, foreign sorghum futures have risen sharply, because China's agriculture is still in the scope of the planned economy, the lag of prices, is still possible," speaking at both ends has always been the strength of analysts, their Tai Chi skills are not ordinary.

'Mr. Gao, let me ask you again, what do you think about the fact that domestic sorghum futures are much higher than foreign prices? The moderator turned to the executives of the SC Commodity Futures Exchange.

'The main producing area of sorghum is in the north, this year's north can be called a rare harvest year, I think the price of sorghum is temporary, if I guess correctly, it will not be long before the price will return to its reasonable price,' the fluctuation of product futures, the magnitude is so large, this is unique among SC grain futures, because the executives of the exchange are state officials, they do not express their true thoughts, but have to read the words prepared in advance.

A sorghum futures, all of a sudden poured into the rich people in the north and south of our country to come in, at first glance is a big scene, I wanted to make a small profit in the sorghum futures that up and down the large fluctuations, small and medium-sized retail investors. It didn't take a few days, and they were all bankrupt and scarred, until a few days later, in front of the electronic display on the large screen, there were only people looking at the paintings, and there were no people on the market.

Lao Fu and a few accomplices from City A walked into the 'SC Futures Exchange' for the first time, although they usually have institutional trading seat numbers, they rarely show up. Today is different, because there are only two days left until the settlement date of sorghum futures this month.

"Hello Mr. Fu, I have admired your name for a long time! The general manager of the exchange got the report of Lao Fu in advance, and he also specially got to know Lao Fu privately, knowing that Lao Fu started in City A, got rich in Hong Kong, and started from speculating in real estate at a low level. In the early 90s, he joined the stock markets of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and Lao Fu is still a national of our country, and does not have the right of abode in any place or country abroad.

I'm a convict who has been released from prison. If I'm not mistaken, you're at the hall level, and you're already lucky enough to be able to come to see me. You're so kind! 'The elder Fu was more than Lu Shang, and he spent most of his first half of his life in prison, and he was poor in his youth. Let this person with bad composition, lose too much, now that the reform and opening up, the people of the whole country look at the money, he can get ahead, if he has no money, how can he shake hands and chat with such a big official, he specially wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses today, a dark gray suit, and a red tie, which symbolizes the red red of sorghum futures.

'Where, Fu is always the leader of the overseas business community in City A, I heard that Mr. Liu of Jihong Company also came to SC, which one is? The general manager of the exchange seems to have done his homework.

'Mr. Liu is very busy, he has already flown back, Mr. General Manager, help us introduce you, my opponents! Lao Fu was very high-profile, he didn't introduce the few people behind him to the general manager of the exchange, he just wanted to see if his opponent was present.

'No need for him to introduce, let me introduce myself, I am the chairman of the Provincial Liquor Association, these people around me are the secretary and director of the distillery, I said Mr. Fu, you can do this hand enough, I don't want our distillery to open! ’

It's not something I want to think about, I'm a farmer, I know the importance of this grain when I was a child, but I see that in the past two years, foreign food prices have gone up, and there is no price increase in our country, you can talk about how many hundreds of millions of farmers in the country, if they don't let them get rich, when will they be able to enter the modernization of agriculture, I discussed with a few old buddies, and I came to SC to fry sorghum, sorghum rice and rice mixed with big eggplant, delicious food, delicious food! Lao Fu spoke very loudly, and every time he said a word, the people around him would laugh, and when he finished speaking, the bigwigs in City A around him were already laughing.

"The price of grain in China is not high, but you don't need to make it so high, if you pay the price now, it will be much cheaper to transport from rice than now," said the director of a distillery.

Lao Fu looked at this person, and then pouted his mouth and said, "Now you think the price is high, what did you do in the first place, if you didn't come to lower the price on weekdays, you wouldn't have found a chance to pull me up, you are all fat and big-eared, I saw it when I came in, all the cars parked in front of the exchange are imported cars, what's the matter, now I feel uncomfortable, come, what, what are you angry with me, I'll stand here, I can stand up to see you, for the sake of a real sword, come on!" ’

'Mr. Fu, don't talk too much, okay, you are here, at most you are a passerby, why bother, I see if you can close the position and leave, just make some money, the money of our distillery is all state-owned assets, and the scale is much larger than you imagined!" The leader of another winery spoke, and his words were soft and hard.

'State-owned assets? Okay, wow, I want to see how to spend state-owned assets, how to spend it in your hands, I won't talk to you about anything else, let's see you on the matter, the price of food is expensive, you don't make a move, I want to let the sorghum go up to 2,000 yuan per ton today, I want to completely double the income of farmers! Lao Fu looked at his seat number, his usual assistant had already arrived there, next to Lao Fu's, as well as the seat numbers of several bigwigs around him, this was their battlefield.

'This old B leader is too arrogant, you see what to do! The president of the liquor industry association is responsible for bringing everyone together, and after many days of competition, they have also invested a lot, but they are not as good as Lao Fu's side.

'From the northeast, they are all forced to our southwest, this is still needless to say, tear open your arms and do it with him, I have already said hello to the top, and I have also been recognized by my superiors, how about a few of you? As the 'leading boss' of the local distillery, the secretary of the distillery is also a 'department level', he has a great drive, as soon as he opened his mouth, several distillery directors around him nodded.

Then what else is there to say, do it with him, see if they have a kind, or if we have more money." ’

On the day of Lao Fu's appearance, the 'SC Gang' of the distillery made the first effort to hit 1,950 yuan per ton when the sorghum was opened to 1,800 yuan per ton.

Looking at the electronic pricing tray in the hall, Lao Fu was not in a hurry, he was looking at a TV set beside him, on which a local financial TV station was broadcasting.

Personally, I think that the current Chinese grain is strictly underestimated, what age is this, what public grain still has to be handed over, for vulnerable groups like farmers, we already owe them a lot, just like the price of this grain just rose, immediately someone jumped out to speak, saying that this has violated the country's bottom line, what's the matter, is the rural people rich, or the city people are rich, I think the market of this sorghum has to rise! A fragment of the 'expert' in the interview, so that Lao Fu's originally strict expression turned into a smile, he waved his hand to the traders around him, and immediately a large amount of long singles went out, and sorghum futures were maintained to around 1900 yuan.

When these people saw that Lao Fu was so domineering, they secretly changed from shorting to doing more, and did not use Lao Fu to pay horses, and sorghum futures were straight up to 2,000 yuan per ton.

"Boss, I think the market of this sorghum is not good, it has broken through the controllable range, if it is still up to the old man to pay them to toss poorly, then this price must go to the sky," the institutes of the exchange found the general manager of the exchange.

"Didn't you listen to what Lao Fu just said, they are here to be a liberation-liberation-army, since the establishment of our exchange, the price of sorghum has not risen, do you want me to tell them, stop, and then speculate on the violation," for the temporary "suspension" warning, the exchange has the power, "for the purpose of protecting small and medium-sized investors, oppose the bank, This is also the main reason for the market at that time', but the exchange did not have the evidence of the old payment of the bank, and there was no real evidence to warn, which also violated the principle of fairness, notarization and openness, just like a casino, usually losers, once a winner came today, is it not your casino to open, want to close down, my country's ' In the early nineties of the last century, the commodity futures exchange was still in its infancy, and the regulations were not very mature, so this also gave Lao Fu a good opportunity to exploit loopholes.

'Fight, fight, I don't believe it, you, you, go to the bank, ask them to transfer money, just say that I said, at the end of the year to double their filial piety! The director and secretary of the famous distillery went into battle together, but after the large amount of money was gone, they did not beat the price of sorghum. (To be continued......)
