Ma Yuanlong didn't know anything about the financial market before, and it was only recently that he started playing futures because of tension, so he can be regarded as understanding some of the skin.

So Ma Yuanlong asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ye, what do you mean...... Looking for an opportunity to go short, right? ”

Ye Fei didn't answer him immediately, just took a hard puff of cigarette and spit it out, and when the smoke in front of them dissipated, the two of them saw that Ye Fei had already smiled.

"Yes, I have that idea, but this opportunity is still waiting."

When Zhang Li heard this, he immediately panicked in his heart, after all, he is buying a lot now, and all the funds in the futures account must rely on the rise in coal prices to make money.

So he asked nervously: "Mr. Ye, did you predict when the price of coal will fall?" ”

Ye Fei wanted to laugh when he saw his nervous appearance, and then explained to him: "You don't have to worry, the current price of coal in the market is still bullish, at least it should not fall before the New Year, even if there are signs of a decline, it should be two months later." ”

Zhang Zhang let out a long breath, and then asked: "But Mr. Ye, why did you choose to go short instead of long?" ”

The expression on Ye Fei's face hesitated for a moment, then extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and said: "I'll tell you clearly, with the current strength of our entire group, there is no way to control the price of coal, after all, there are many large and small coal mines in various places, at least we can't control the rise in coal prices, but if the price of coal begins to show signs of falling, we can play a little role." ”

Gu Yingying was still confused at this time, she asked Ye Fei: "Xiaofei, do you mean that we have the ability to bring down the price of coal?" ”

"I can't say that, we can only say that if the price of coal falls in the market, we have the ability to make it fall faster, after all, the price of many things in this world needs a slow process to rise, and when the price falls, it is most likely to panic, resulting in an avalanche-like rapid decline, which is the herd psychology of people."

But Gu Yingying said: "Then how can it be done, don't forget that we still have coal mines and coal yards in our hands, if the price of coal falls wildly, it will also have a great impact on us." ”

Ye Fei smiled, then glanced at Zhang Zhang and said: "That's right, if this really happens, our group and coal-related enterprises, and even transportation companies will be affected, but these losses are nothing if compared to the profits on the futures, Zhang Li, are you right?" ”

Zhang Zhang said to Gu Yingying: "Sister-in-law, what Mr. Ye said is right, if we lay out in advance, that is to say, start shorting with a large amount of money in advance, then when the price of coal begins to fall, if the decline is large enough, then our profit in the futures market, the number ...... The numbers are unimaginable. ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhang still asked with a questioning face: "Mr. Ye, but what do I think...... Even if we have so many coal mines, it is not enough to affect the price of the entire coal market! ”

"Of course, it seems that there is no now, after all, it also takes time and labor costs for coal to be dug out of the coal mine, so this is the main reason why I asked you, as well as the coal yard in Feishi Town, to start stockpiling some time ago."

After speaking, an unpredictable smile appeared on Ye Fei's face.

Zhang Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh sharply.

"I understand, Mr. Ye, you want to start stockpiling goods now, and start using a large number of goods to affect the market price when the time comes."

Ye Fei smiled and nodded, and then continued: "Of course, now is just the beginning, we can't make this matter too obvious now, that's why I want you to go to other places to choose a place to stock up." ”

In fact, in Ye Fei's memory, he did not remember any large fluctuations in coal prices between 2000 and 2001.

It's just that some time ago, when he learned that Zhang Zhang was speculating in futures, he suddenly had such an idea.

The price increase of coal this time is completely predicted by his current understanding of the market, but more importantly, he is very sure that coal, a commodity, although it is in the process of long-term price increases, then there will be price fluctuations, that is to say, before the Chinese New Year, the price of coal will usher in a peak, and after the New Year, it is very likely to usher in a relatively large shock, as long as you wait patiently for the emergence of this opportunity, Ye Fei will have room to operate.

Of course, Feishi Group now has six large and small coal mines in Shunzhou alone, so the fluctuation of coal prices in the market does not have a big impact on Ye Fei's stockpiling, after all, he does not need to buy goods from other people's coal mines for the time being.

But it can affect the stockpiling that the market needs, that is not a small number, Ye Fei expects that this number must reach at least 10 million tons.

With the current strength of Feishi Group, it will only take time to achieve this.

Then he said to Ma Yuanlong: "Yuanlong, you prepare, for a period of time in the future, I may need you to help Zhang Zhang for a while." ”

"Help him...... Isn't everything going on on his side? ”

Ye Fei explained: "In the next month or so, our coal mines and transportation companies may be overloaded and begin to hoard a large amount of coal, and the freight yard that Li Li has selected now to hoard coal is definitely not enough, I need you to find another yard and start hoarding at the same time, so for a period of time in the future, Shunzhou will be much busier than here." ”

Ma Yuanlong nodded and said, "Then I will transfer all the convoys over tomorrow." ”

Gu Yingying asked curiously at this time: "Xiaofei, how much coal do we need to hoard?" ”

Ye Fei thought for a while, stretched out a finger and said, "I expect to start at least 10 million tons, which is the least, of course, the more the better." ”

Ma Yuanlong and Zhang Li also gasped, because this figure was indeed too stressful for them, and hoarding so much coal in such a short period of time was almost impossible to achieve according to the transportation capacity of the transportation company under Feishi Group.

Ma Yuanlong expressed his worries to Ye Fei, but Ye Fei answered him directly: "I know, so during your trip to Shunzhou, we still need to pay for other people's transportation companies, even if we spend money to buy other people's coal mines, we must also reach this number." ”
