Chapter 14 Raising Money

Sure enough, it was only after being in charge that I realized that firewood, rice, oil, and salt were expensive.

It is said that it is difficult to start a business, and Li Mingyu used to think that this sentence was just someone else fooling him, but now he has begun to worry about this big mess and knows that this sentence is true.

Li Mingyu's establishment of the company can be said to be smooth, the industry is created by himself, the technology is obtained by wool, the formalities and documents are all handled by artificial intelligence, and the business is also profitable.

But even so, Li Mingyu is still in a liquidity crisis.

It stands to reason that he has a lot of money in his hands, but once he turns all the funds into fixed assets, it is inevitable that he will face the problem of capital flow circulation, and now the industrial equipment involved is too expensive, and a set of equipment can easily cost tens of millions of dollars, which is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

But Li Mingyu can't help it, it's not that he doesn't want to engage in some asset-light things, but Xiaoyu's program requirements require him to engage in these heavy industries.

Heavy industry is the foundation of social progress, and the financial service industry is only the superstructure, and the economic foundation determines the superstructure.

If he wants to engage in heavy industry, it will undoubtedly be a dream if he wants Xiaoyu to enter the return procedure within a year.

But these equipment in heavy industry is indeed too laborious, Li Mingyu did not think that these equipment were also made by himself, but he can only think about it, not to mention the technical problems, let's just say that the gravity pressurization equipment he purchased today is 18 meters high and 24 meters wide, and weighs 30 tons, all of which are cast with alloy steel.

But purely by buying, Li Mingyu's current net worth does have some that he can't afford to buy.

In fact, there is another way to purchase facilities and equipment in heavy industry, that is, financial leasing.

This is a commonly used financial means for large-scale equipment, equipment and facilities are supplied to production enterprises in the form of leasing to solve the problem of insufficient short-term cash flow of enterprises, Li Mingyu did hesitate to use financial leasing means, but after thinking twice, he still gave up.

One is because financial leasing will inevitably involve third-party leasing companies, after all, it is a means of financing, and it is inevitable that it will involve a loan relationship.

The second is that Li Mingyu has indeed not reached the point where he can only take the road of financial leasing, but he is also driving a golden finger, and he can't even afford to make up the money for production equipment and open a plug-in? Is there a shame in it?

Now the enterprise is still in the initial stage of construction, it is the most vulnerable time, in order to keep his secret, Li Mingyu wants to use the way of money and goods as much as possible to establish contact with machinery and equipment manufacturers, to ensure that he has been in a favorable position.

The advantages of this are obvious, if the machinery and equipment manufacturer asks questions, or the attitude is dissatisfied, etc., just pat the ass and leave, it is a big deal to change a supplier, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

Expensive!

And how to raise money, this is the problem that Li Mingyu urgently needs to solve now!

Li Mingyu also graduated from economics and management, and when he thought of making money, the first reaction in his mind was naturally the exchange of stocks and bonds, which is the old three in the financial world, and a mature financial system has been established all over the world, whether it is a corporate investor or an individual investor, you can participate in it to make money.

Stocks and bonds refer to stocks, treasury bonds, and foreign exchange.

Among them, stocks and treasury bonds Li Mingyu did not consider for the time being, stocks may be able to play after the company is listed, but the current situation allows him to play stocks, that is mostly half by the sky and half by life, God will earn a little by eating, it belongs to the fate of sometimes there will be a fate that is not forced to play all the time, and the domestic treasury bonds are now basically operated by government-controlled banks, and in the case of not wanting to expose their own details, it is also a fool's dream to intervene in it.

The rest is foreign exchange, foreign exchange is the ratio of the currency of one country to the currency of another country, which involves very complex things, Li Mingyu is not ready to directly operate the currency, but is ready to operate some commodities in the foreign exchange market: such as crude oil!

As the black blood of modern industry, the price of crude oil has been fluctuating up and down under the influence of supply and demand, and a large number of speculators in the world have made profits by long or short crude oil under hundreds of times leverage, which is definitely a very suitable way for Li Mingyu.

First of all, crude oil can be operated through foreign exchange trading, and foreign exchange trading is neither legal nor illegal in China, which first reasonably circumvents the precondition that Xiaoyu does not violate local laws.

There is not even a law for adaptation, what law is violated?

In fact, the domestic control of foreign exchange is also quite strict, but there is indeed no clear regulation that requires individuals not to participate in foreign exchange transactions, just because the rules and regulations of the foreign exchange industry are not clear, and it is a high-risk speculative industry, which is extremely prone to fraud, illegal fund-raising and other illegal and criminal activities, so ordinary people will subconsciously associate it with illegal crimes when they hear these things.

In fact, foreign exchange financial speculation itself has advantages and disadvantages, and it is not pure fraud, but sometimes the means of capital are bloody and immoral, thus giving ordinary people a glamorous and spooky look.

In fact, it is very convenient for ordinary people to participate in foreign exchange crude oil trading, as long as they find a regulated platform to register an account, convert funds into US dollars and trade on the platform.

Since he is preparing to operate a wave on crude oil, Li Mingyu naturally has to be fully prepared, this time he does not plan to rely on Xiaoyu to operate, but to do it himself.

It's not that he can't trust Xiaoyu, he has also let Xiaoyu train artificial intelligence for AI trading, the effect is actually not bad, after simulated operation, artificial intelligence can basically ensure an annualized average return of 68%, that is to say, one million let artificial intelligence operate can achieve a stable profit of 680,000 a year, which is more dazzling than the performance of most large fund managers.

But the annualized return of 68% is not a fundamental improvement for Li Mingyu's current situation, he does not have time to wait a year, and the company's funding gap is far from being made up by the 68% annualized return, and he needs to use more rapid means.

Insider information!

The olefin-3 type has managed to attract everyone's attention, and the price of crude oil, as a raw material for the olefin-3 type, can be said to be closely related to the olefin-3 type

At the beginning of the morning, international investors generally believe that due to the fact that various countries and research institutions will step up the research and development of olefin-3 type, thereby expanding the purchase of crude oil, betting on rising oil prices, the price of international crude oil has risen by 7%, to "Natu

e" issued for the second time, and international crude oil has soared all the way, up nearly 13% so far.

And what Li Mingyu has to do is to rely on a wave of perfect operations to buy international crude oil.

"Xiaoyu, help me contact the Changzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce in the name of the Matrix Research Institute, I want to rent a factory!" Li Mingyu's eyes were deep, and he commanded in a deep voice.

Xiaoyu's work efficiency was consistent and fast, and after only two minutes, she received an invitation letter from the Changzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce on her mobile phone for a special negotiation on investment promotion, and the time was set at nine o'clock the next morning.

Looking at the sky, it is now more than four o'clock in the afternoon, the clouds in the sky will cover the original dazzling sun layer by layer, leaving a golden glow, the temperature at this time is not as hot as in the afternoon, Li Mingyu slightly pouted, and then prepared to go out.

Tomorrow is also a very formal official meeting, and it can't be too shabby to say anything, and now that he is a person with a small net worth, it's time to buy a reasonable outfit for himself.

After calling a truck, Li Mingyu took the 5 barrels of olefin-3 polymer materials extracted by the intelligent robot and then went to the most prosperous city center of Changzhou City.

In the morning, the 5 barrels of olefin-3 type he auctioned on the company's official website have been almost used up, but until now they have not been shipped, the buyers of these 5 barrels of olefin-3 polymer materials come from different parts of the world, country Y, country E, country Z, RB, ADLY, this kind of international freight is not very easy to handle, Li Mingyu can only be transferred layer by layer through the Amazon platform.

Since the customer has spent so much money, Li Mingyu is not a childish person, and the fastest air freight is all selected, even the farthest country can receive the goods within about 24 hours, but the way to send the goods is a little more troublesome, and Li Mingyu needs to bring the goods to the airport for delivery.

Olefin-3 type is already a fluid form after extraction and purification, and it is extremely non-flammable as a polymer material.

Li Mingyu didn't care too much, completed the handover procedures at the airport, and successfully transported the first batch of goods of Matrix Technology Co., Ltd.

The rest is a matter of consumption.

Li Mingyu is a dirt bun, and the most expensive thing he bought in his previous life is probably the laptop that his parents bought to encourage him to learn, as for what luxury brand, he is a blind eye, and it is impossible to expect him to have any good taste.

But as long as these problems can be solved with money, then they are not a problem!

Cheung Chau City Centre, Intime City.

Li Mingyu wore a pair of sneakers and walked into a men's watch store, and when he entered the door, he said to the good-looking waitress at the front desk: "Hello, please help me wrap the watch displayed at the door." ”

The waiter at the front desk was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little unresponsive.

But after all, it is a high-end consumption place, the beautiful waitress hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Hello sir, is it the sapphire blue mechanical watch at the door?" ”

"Yes, it's the blue one, please wrap it for me." Li Mingyu glanced back and replied.

The beautiful waitress took a light breath, then smiled: "Sir, do you need to try it on to see if the length of the strap is appropriate?" ”

After hesitating for two seconds, Li Mingyu shook his head: "Forget it, there are a lot of things to buy later, let's do it first." ”

"Okay, please, I'll help you get your watch." The waitress replied with a smile still on her face, but turned around and glanced at the other waitress next to her.

The other waiter understood, then smiled and stepped forward to stand in front of Li Mingyu, asking Li Mingyu if he needed anything else.

The beautiful waitress quickly took the royal blue mechanical watch, and she looked cautious, as if she was afraid of breaking the watch in her hand.

It is estimated that he also knows that his outfit makes people doubt his economic strength, Li Mingyu took out his bank card without saying a word: "Beauty, please help me swipe the card." ”

When the beautiful waitress saw Li Mingyu take out her bank card, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, and then took out the BOSS machine with a smile and pressed a string of 0 on the machine.

The price of this watch is clearly written on the window at the door, it is a little expensive, 387,600!

"Drop, the deal was successful!"

There was a vibration on the mobile phone, and you didn't need to look at it to know that it was a text message that the deduction was successful.

Since he paid the money, Li Mingyu was not so polite, reached out and took the watch in the box, tore off the nameplate and put it on his hand, which looked very suitable.

"Beauty, how can there be a more affordable suit shop here, the price is not too expensive, it is about the same as this watch." Li Mingyu glanced at the mirror and asked casually.

Several waiters informed Li Mingyu of the location of the suit shop, and after watching him walk out of the store and walk away, they finally began to discuss excitedly.

"Is this the world of the rich? Xiao Ai, you are so lucky today, there are 30,000 or 40,000 achievements in this single mentions! ”

"Yes, yes, Xiao Ai, you must have a treat tonight!"

"Sister, why didn't you ask for a contact information just now, such a handsome guy with little promise at a young age, take the initiative to attack!"

"Buying a watch for hundreds of thousands of dollars is the same as buying vegetables, isn't it tempting at all, sister? Hee-hee-hee..."

Li Mingyu didn't know what the waiter in the watch shop would say about him after he left, but it didn't matter if he knew, these were not important things, he glanced at the watch in his hand, and there were a few English letters on the dial.

"Kada duck? What brand is this? Li Mingyu muttered casually.

In the suit shop upstairs, Li Mingyu was even more casual, after all, with a watch of hundreds of thousands, the people in the store were also discerning, and he recommended two sets of suits of more than 100,000 yuan without saying a word, and Li Mingyu was too lazy to ink, so he directly packed two sets and took them away.

It didn't take half an hour to try on clothes, and Li Mingyu was already on his way home.

To be honest, for people like him who don't understand luxury, there is essentially no difference between buying these things and buying cabbage, and there is nothing worth caring about when the price is acceptable.

Just as Li Mingyu was about to go back to the hotel, Xiao Yu's voice suddenly rang in the earphones: "The supplier of the condensing equipment is in Changzhou City, and they expect to send the equipment over tomorrow morning, asking where the equipment will be delivered?" ”

Obviously, according to Li Mingyu's current situation, it is definitely not suitable to send it to a dilapidated factory in the suburbs, but the location of the new factory has not yet been determined, and it will not be determined until tomorrow after communicating with the government leaders.

"Don't rush yet, tell them I'll give them the delivery address tomorrow afternoon."

"I understand, they are not in a hurry to deliver the goods, but they are just taking this opportunity to express their business etiquette to you."

"Business etiquette?" Li Mingyu smiled, and then said to Xiaoyu: "In the future, these things in the entertainment will be pushed away for me, and in addition, all suppliers in the future will score according to the quality of the products provided, and give priority to purchasing from partners with high product scores and good reputation." ”

"Understood, an enterprise partner management system is being built, and the construction is complete!"

In fact, it is not surprising that these equipment suppliers are so diligent to want to meet Li Mingyu, this year business is difficult to do, especially for large machinery and equipment manufacturers like them, a single move is tens of millions of dollars, customers must not be able to come up with so much money at once, most of them are in the form of financial leasing or installment payment, where will be like Li Mingyu directly prepay 50% of the cash, and promise to pay the remaining 50% of the balance within three days after receiving the goods in the contract.

In these years, everyone is doing business, who is not relying on the cash flow of the elder, and all kinds of accounts receivable are piled up to be unaccountable?

This kind of direct cash payment is as rare as Tang monk meat, and it is not normal if you don't want to run over and kneel and lick it!

Back at the hotel, Li Mingyu took a shower, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep.

He was a little tired after running outside for most of the day, but he had one last thing to finish now.

Took out his mobile phone to open a foreign exchange trading account that had not been used for several years, there were still a few dollars left in it that had not been used up before, and the platform he used was a large international foreign exchange platform supervised by the Securities Regulatory Commission of M. Li Mingyu asked Xiaoyu to check the platform company, and all qualifications were no problem.

All cash in the company's account, including emergency funds, was converted into US dollars, and then the account was re-registered in the name of the company and injected into the company's foreign exchange platform account.

That's a million dollars!

Looking at the international crude oil that was still rising, Li Mingyu manipulated the account and pulled the leverage of the account to the maximum.

500x leverage!

After waiting for two hours of sleepiness, it was already 11 o'clock on Friday night, and the price of international crude oil was still hovering at the highest point in three months, and it is not surprising that it will close at this position this week.

Li Mingyu took a deep breath, and then clicked his finger on the screen.

Press all the net worth, place an order!

The order is successful, a thousand lots!
