Chapter 115: Steel Futures
Li Wu almost forgot, how could he forget about futures?
Futures.
It is a form of trading that concentrates on trading standardized forward contracts.
That is, the two parties to the transaction on the futures exchange, through the purchase and sale of futures contracts, and according to the terms stipulated in the contract, agree to buy and sell a specific quantity and quality of commodities at a specific time and place in the future, at a specific price.
The ultimate purpose of futures trading is not to transfer the ownership of commodities, but to avoid the risk of rising and falling commodity prices by buying and selling futures contracts.
In other words, I am ordering 100 goods now, and the goods will be delivered next year, and the price will have risen to 200 next year, and you will have to give it to me at the price of 100, otherwise, if the price drops to 50 next year, I still have to pick up the goods at the price of 100.
In other words, whether it rises or falls, it has nothing to do with the price that is scheduled now.
But this also has a phenomenon, you can directly resell the contract in your hand to make a big profit, which is the origin of futures trading.
It's just that in many commodity futures, the pricing power is in foreign countries, and the bookmakers in China are just shadows.
White sugar, the pricing power is in NYBOT, in the United States sugar No. 11.
Plastic fuel, pricing power in NYMEX, crude oil in the United States.
Non-ferrous metals, copper, aluminum, zinc, pricing power at LME, in London.
Agricultural products, beans, corn, soybean oil, pricing power in CBOT, in Chicago.
For rubber, the pricing power basically belongs to Tokyo.
When we stop trading at night, it's the time for external trading, and when the external trading stops, it's time for us to start trading the next day.
As a result, our commodity futures are always endlessly gapping open, or gapping high, or gapping low, never steadily continuing yesterday's closing trend.
Our short-term investors have also become poor gamblers, or get rich overnight, or wash away poverty overnight, and netizens are often excited or sad, or grateful or cursed on various forums.
This is also the charm of gamblers playing futures, one thinks of heaven and the other thinks of hell.
The reason why Li Wu wants to buy steel is that he clearly remembers that after the Spring Festival, international steel prices began to rise sharply, doubling in a short period of time.
The reason is that many foreign steel producing countries suddenly and sharply increased the export tariffs of iron ore and some steel products, including Huaxia, which led to the Dali iron ore steel, etc., and because the domestic inventory also continued to decline, imports were too expensive, the supply gap increased, and the price naturally soared.
The price of steel has doubled, and the futures have jumped hard, as long as you grasp that point, you can make a lot of money by lying flat, not to mention the repeated operation of the band.
Before Li Wu could speak, Cai Jia knocked lightly on the door,
"Chairman, Mr. Feng Liang Feng said that there is an urgent matter to discuss with you."
Li Canghai frowned, he was talking about big business, what is Feng Liang doing here?
In addition to borrowing money from himself, he wanted to sell me the paper mill plot at a high price......
The corners of Li Wu's mouth smiled slightly, the time to come is finally here.
"Dong Li, why don't you talk first, I'll wait inside for a while, it just so happens that I also want a few minutes to think about Dong Li's proposal."
There are also two huts next to the office, which are usually Li Canghai's leisure and entertainment places, convenient for film and television, fitness, and secretary affairs.
Li Canghai's face was a little hesitant, was this too polite.
Li Wu said with a smile: "Li Dong doesn't have to care, if others have urgent matters, they can deal with it first, let's continue to talk about it when it's over, do Li Dong and that Mr. Feng have any trade secrets?" If so, then I can leave first. ”
Under normal circumstances, Li Canghai talks about business with others, and Li Wu must go out to the living room first, leaving space for others' privacy.
However, Li Wu will definitely not leave, and Lai must also stay here, otherwise this time it will be in vain.
Li Canghai saw Li Wu say this, although he didn't understand what Li Wu meant, but he thought that there was really nothing unpleasant between him and Feng Liang, so he didn't say more, and hurriedly said: "There is no secret!" Then there is Mr. Lao Li to wait a while. ”
"Dong Li is polite."
After Li Wu finished speaking, he got up and walked into the small room next door with Huang Long.
After Li Wu entered, Li Canghai said to Cai Jia:
"Let him in!"
Feng Liang is handsome, at least 1.8 meters tall, just looking at his appearance, he was a handsome guy when he was young, but now his face is full of decadence.
"Sit! Say anything! ”
Li Canghai still beckoned Feng Liang to sit down and said lightly.
Feng Liang sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, and then said:
"Brother Li, one last thing to ask you, the paper mill plot, you give me one million, I have an urgent need. Just when you do your brother one last favor. ”
Li Canghai actually wanted to scold people in his heart, Feng Liang had already looked for him many times about this, every time he said that he needed it urgently, he also helped Feng Liang many times, and every time he said that it was the last time, Li Canghai no longer believed in Feng Liang now.
Li Canghai thought for a while, "Feng Liang, it's not that Brother Li won't help you, do you know what you've changed now?" Say the last time every time, how many lasts? In this way, you listen to Brother Li, break off with that mistress, and now you are doing it at a loss in the factory over there in Yongchang, it is better to sell it and do it with Brother Li, Brother Li will not be able to treat you badly, 600,000 yuan a year plus 200,000 yuan per year, how about it? ”
Feng Liang didn't care about this, he was used to being a boss all these years, and suddenly asked him to work for others, he couldn't do it, not to mention that with his previous vision, he really didn't want to be managed by others for hundreds of thousands of dollars this year.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift!
What's more, the purpose of his coming here today is to see Li Canghai's attitude, whether he can help him again, and whether he still misses the old feelings.
Now it seems that Li Canghai not only didn't help him, but also wanted to take him under his hands to do things.
"Brother Li, I want to try it for a few more years, if I really can't do it, I'll come to Brother Li's side again."
"Now that Brother Li takes the plot, he will do his brother a favor, and his brother will not forget you."
Li Canghai was a little upset, the paper mill has no way out now, but Feng Liang still has to hold on to it, and invest in it, he will only lose more and more in the future, and when he is desperate in the end, he will definitely come to him for help.
Why don't you take advantage of the fact that you don't lose much now, let go as soon as possible, come to Haixin, and with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, you can live a very chic life.
Seeing that Li Canghai didn't speak, he obviously didn't want to help.
Feng Liang's face also began to turn pale, and both parties were silent and did not speak, it stands to reason that this situation has proved that Li Canghai is unwilling to say more, which is equivalent to refusal.
Feng Liang should also say goodbye and leave.
Feng Liang didn't show the slightest sign of leaving, but asked again in a gloomy voice:
"Brother Li, you really don't want to save you when you die, and you don't want to help your brother again, don't you miss the old love at all?"
Hearing this, Li Canghai instantly became angry, and was about to stand up and refute Feng Liang angrily......
"Hey, what's there to be angry about this little thing? Harmony makes money! ”
As the voice fell, Li Wu walked out of the room, and Huang Long and Long Er were on guard against Feng Liang behind him......
Just now in the room, Li Wu had already told the two of them that Feng Liang might have two guns in his waist!
