Chapter 341 This is my last strength! (4K)

There is only one theme for the entire meeting——

Prevent vicious competition among peers and drive up prices.

Reach a consensus to unify the expedition, and negotiate prices in groups!
It is equivalent to connecting boats with iron chains. The interests of the entire purchasing group are tied together, and everyone is prosperous, and everyone is damaged.

In the huge conference room, except for Lu Fei, almost no one was vigilant, and the atmosphere was bright and relaxed.

Everyone talked freely, talking and laughing.

"Since there are no objections, the next step is to determine the quantity of purchases for this trip, so that we can get a more affordable price, and we can also use transportation together to reduce transportation costs..."

The Minister of Commerce gave a look, and the staff on standby immediately distributed the prepared small pieces of paper to everyone in the audience.

"Last year, the leader told the US media that at least 250 million tons of soybeans will be purchased this year, and we will use 'tons' as the measurement. Everyone will fill in an expected purchase number."

As soon as the words fell, the room was boiling, one by one like bubbles rolling and bursting, whispering to each other, testing the tone.

Sun Mengquan held the pen and paper, "Mr. Lu, how much should we fill in?"

Lu Fei didn't seem to hear, his brows were furrowed into a ball.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu."

Sun Mengquan poked lightly a few times with his elbow, "What's the matter with you, have you been silent during the meeting?"

Lu Fei came back to his senses, and said firmly, "Fill in zero."

"What, we don't buy a catty?"

Sun Mengquan was taken aback.

"Not buying a single soybean."

Lu Fei sighed. He thought it was the Ministry of Commerce leading the organization, and he could do everything possible to persuade him, but this time he personally led the "collective procurement". How can this be stopped?

You can't be ignorant, and the living example of Lu Yun can always remind you!

Da is good for the world at the same time, the poor should be alone...

Sun Mengquan swallowed his saliva, not having the guts to write this pen.

Lu Fei took the initiative: "Boss Sun, let me write."

"No, my grandson will come by himself."

Sun Mengquan shook his heart, stopped shaking his trembling hands, and drew a circle, "I believe in you, Mr. Lu!"

Looking at the weird behavior of the two of them, Tian Renli was full of curiosity, wrote the number on the paper, folded it twice carefully, and handed it to the staff who received the note.

Those who had finished handing in chatted, and those who hadn't handed in kept thinking about it, scribbling and changing, and after a while, all the notes from 27 companies were taken back.

The statistics did not take too long, 3 people and 3 calculators, verified twice to confirm that it was correct, and reported the total——

803 million tons!

As soon as the number came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

The Minister of Commerce was the first to raise his hands and clap his hands. The clapping applause was like a ripple on the surface of the sea. Slowly the waves rolled, and the applause like a tsunami suddenly sounded.

"Be good!"

Sun Mengquan gasped, "I thought 500 million tons would be an exaggeration, but I didn't expect such a big appetite. According to the current futures market, it would be..."

"2400 billion RMB, the deposit alone is 15 billion dollars (120 billion RMB)."

Lu Fei supported his forehead and shook his head, his face became more and more gloomy.

It's over, the domestic soybean industry chain is all over!
By the ear, the CEOs of companies such as Henan Cereals and Oils, Bincheng Huanong Oils and Oils rubbed their hands excitedly, speaking incoherently:

"800 million tons, this is to buy all the soybeans in the United States, hahaha! Sorry to lead, I am a little excited."

"This year will be another big year. We have to prepare foreign exchange quickly. Don't blame me for eating the most."

"Open it to eat, no one will grab it from us this time."

"..."

The whole conference room was full of joy, and the more so, Lu Fei's thighs trembled more violently, and he was extremely tangled.

To persuade, or not to persuade, that is the question!

"Does anyone have any questions, if not..."

The Minister of Commerce looked around, and suddenly saw Master Lu slowly raising his hand in his sight, and called his name with a smile:

"Mr. Lu, what do you want to ask?"

"Leaders, colleagues."

Lu Fei took a deep breath: "I have an immature suggestion. While purchasing, is it safe to do hedging?"

"Hedging?!"

The joyful and lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at each other with wide eyes.

"That's right!"

Lu Fei restrained the tension in his heart. Since he couldn't be tough head-on, he could only outsmart him. Since he couldn't stop him from going to death, he arranged to retreat in advance so that he wouldn't lose all in one wave.

"Lu is always worried that the price of soybean futures will fall?"

Tian Renli raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.

"There is such a concern."

Lu Fei's tone slowed down: "I do business, and I'm used to considering all kinds of possibilities, including the worst outcome."

As soon as the words fell, the boss of Henan Grain and Oil was the first to stand up:

"Mr. Lu is too worried. The market this year is better than any other year. Now soybean oil has reached 7500 yuan per ton, and soybean meal has also risen to 2600 yuan per ton."

"That's right!"

The manager of Huanong Oil also stood up, "This year's heat is so hot, but soybean production has been reduced. The supply is completely in short supply. How can soybean futures fall? I think it will rise!"

As soon as this remark came out, discussions arose.

Tian Renli looked to the left, and saw Sun Mengquan shrunk his head, fidgeting, and then looked to the right, excluding his own, the rest of the grain and oil companies were all bullish, and no one was bearish.

Flying dragon riding a face, how to lose?
Huge pressure was formed invisible, rushing towards Lu Fei, almost without anyone's support.

He stood still, "If the soybean production has not been reduced, what if the report in the United States is false!"

"Fake, no way? The US media is the most influential and authoritative media in the world. It is impossible to report fake news."

"President Lu, your worries are too unnecessary."

"..."

Seeing that Lu Fei was being attacked by a group, the leader immediately interrupted, pressed his hand down, surrounded and said:

"It's good to have different opinions, Mr. Lu, please tell us your thoughts in detail."

"Whoo~"

Lu Fei's heart relaxed, he lived up to his name, gentle!
He glanced around: "I am a junior, and I have only been involved in the grain and oil field for a short time. I only know a little bit. If I say something wrong, please don't take offense."

"Say it, tell it all," said the Minister of Commerce.

"Most of the pricing mechanism in the international soybean market uses CBOT futures prices plus spot premiums and discounts to form the spot price of soybeans."

Lu Fei eloquently said that the soybean industry only knows how to squeeze, but does not understand finance and futures. It is a big fat sheep.

"It is always safe to have an extra insurance. If the price of 800 million tons of soybeans is lowered a little, it will be a huge loss.

Use hedging to avoid market risks! "

"..."

Do you understand a little bit?

Tian Renli was completely taken aback. He was silent with some surprise at first, and then started talking.

It was as if Lu Fei had fought against the Confucians with his tongue, and he was not defeated.

"OK OK!"

Seeing the chaos, the leader stopped in time: "Boss Lu asked a good question at the end! He was really thoughtful. I think everyone should think about it. Being safe is not a bad thing."

The Minister of Commerce understood, and then said: "Whether you want to hedge or not depends entirely on your own wishes. If you are willing, you can talk to Mr. Lu in private after the meeting. Is it okay, Mr. Lu?"

"No problem, leader!"

Lu Fei stopped talking, good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost, he said everything that should be said, and gave the ideas that should be given.

This time, Mr. Lu has done his best.

"okay!"

The leader nodded, said a few closing words, and announced the end of the meeting.

At the end, everyone present took a group photo.

At this moment, the Minister of Commerce received a note from his subordinate, his smile froze for a moment, and he immediately reported to the leader.

On the note, there was a big duck egg drawn on it.

"Wait, don't shoot yet."

The leader stood at position C, raised his voice and said:
"The purchasing group this time is entirely voluntary and not mandatory. You can withdraw completely without any psychological burden."

"Leader, don't worry, I won't quit!"

Everyone expressed their determination, but Lu Fei was worried.

"Let's take a picture!"

The leader squinted at Lu Fei beside him, and the two looked at each other, everything was kept silent.

........................

The meeting was neither long nor short, about half an hour.

There were a lot of people when they came, and they also came out of the Ministry of Commerce when they went, just like the ebb tide, talking and talking, and the sound waves were noisy.

"If you don't buy and participate in some purchasing group, isn't it enough to support yourself?"

"If you don't buy it, it will be two hundred and five! Now a ton of soybean oil has a profit of four to five thousand yuan. Idiots don't make this money. The oil extraction equipment I bought urgently needs soybeans to feed."

"President Lu's hedging, do you want to do it?"

"Young people are young after all, Mr. Lu's skills in this industry are still too shallow."

"Hey, where's Mr. Lu?"

"That's right, I disappeared as soon as I came out, and I still want to invite Mr. Lu to dinner and get in touch with each other."

"Will you be called away by the leaders?"

"Very likely, very likely!"

"..."

Accompanied by the whistling wind, the sound came from a distance, getting weaker and more complex.

With a gloomy face on his face, Lu Fei shook out a cigarette from the cigarette case, bit the cigarette holder and drank it, finally feeling the great man's pain.

"Mr. Lu, why did you suddenly mention..."

Before Sun Mengquan finished speaking, there were trivial footsteps behind him. Tian Renli strode towards him, shouting as he ran:

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu!"

"Boss Tian?"

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows and took the cigarette from his mouth.

"Mr. Lu."

Tian Renli let out a breath: "I'm here for the hedging you mentioned at the meeting, can we have a chat?"

"How about finding a place to chat while eating?"

Seeing him nodding, Lu Fei asked again, "How about the hot pot?"

"Success, eating hot pot on a cold day is delicious!"

"Then go, take my car."

The three got into the Audi, and Wang Ben drove to Haiyiwei with ease. At that time, the business was booming, and there were always customers everywhere.

"Mr. Lu, you are here!"

The lobby manager graciously stepped forward.

Lu Fei asked: "Is there a box?"

"Yes! You guys come with me."

The lobby manager led the way forward, followed by Lu Fei and the three to the quiet and clean small box. As soon as they sat down, the waiter respectfully brought towels, which were steaming.

"Hey, there is this service."

Tian Renli's eyes lit up, "It's worthy of being next to a star-rated hotel."

"Serve according to the old rules." Lu Fei picked up the towel and wiped his hands.

Tian Renli imitated the example, while wiping, he said: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Sun, I won't gossip with you, but just tell me, is Lu Hua going to withdraw from the purchasing group this time?"

Seeing the look in Lu Fei's eyes, Sun Mengquan said frankly:
"That's right! Luhua wants to make nutritious and healthy high-end soybean oil, and only buys locally produced Northeast soybeans."

"Mr. Lu, is there any clue about this purchase?"

Tian Renli put down the towel, vaguely feeling something was wrong.

Lu Fei said: "Mr. Tian agrees with or against the worst outcome I mentioned?"

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, I think it's right."

Tian Renli asked: "However, Mr. Lu said at the meeting that South America's soybean production has not been greatly reduced this year. Is there any basis for it?"

Lu Fei shrugged: "It's very simple, because throughout last year, American soybean production did not show a significant reduction, but set a production record."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Tian Renli was shocked and said: "So many international media have reported it, it can't be all fake, right?"

"Of course it's all fake news!"

Lu Fei crossed his hands and looked serious.

"The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that soybean production is expected to decrease in 04. Zf can't publish fake news, right?"

Tian Renli was startled suddenly, "Could it be! Could it be!!"

Lu Fei nodded his head lightly, and roughly explained the serial sets designed by American lyb. Not only Tian Renli, but also Sun Mengquan heard it for the first time, and he couldn't help but shed cold sweat.

"Mr. Lu, this is too much a conspiracy theory."

Tian Renli was dubious: "We and the United States are friends, friends!"

"Does the United States still have few backstab friends?"

Lu Fei curled his lips, "Don't forget, if there is a [-]% profit, capital dares to trample on all laws, not to mention stabbing friends in the back, if all this comes true, what will happen?"

"The consequences, the consequences are unimaginable."

It was clearly winter, beads of sweat burst out on Tian Renli's forehead.

Lu Fei leaned forward, "How about not only shorting soybeans, but also shorting soybean meal and soybean oil futures?"

"what!?"

When Tian Renli thought of the operation Master Lu said, his head buzzed like he was falling into an abyss.

Suddenly, it fell into a dead silence, and the atmosphere was oppressive and dull.

When the waiter entered the room with the mandarin duck pot, he couldn't help being surprised, but he didn't think too much about it. He arranged everything properly, and the plates of mutton were full.

"Try it, the meat is good."

Lu Fei picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of mutton.

Tian Renli said: "Boss Lu, the situation you mentioned is too terrible, no, probably not..."

"What do you mean you shouldn't? Wolves can eat sheep!"

Lu Fei put the boiled mutton into his mouth and chewed:

"Bringing 800 million tons, I'm already a big fat sheep, and I also broadcast live news. This is not just telling people to kill me!"

Sun Mengquan felt that it made sense, but he was speechless.

Suddenly found that the procurement group this time may have done bad things with good intentions. Just like the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo led the Zhao army to charge and attack, fell into the trap of the Qin army by mistake, and was surrounded.

As a result, the domestic soybean oil chamber of commerce, like Zhao Jun, killed them all!

"President Lu, what should we do?"

Looking at the whole table of mutton, Tian Renli had no appetite, and when he saw the bloody meat, he thought that Jiusan would share food like this.

"I've already said, hedging."

Lu Fei said bluntly that state-owned enterprises cannot bypass international futures, but they can save the country with curves. There are also futures exchanges in China, and soybean sales are the basis sales of Dalian futures market.

"But it's not enough!"

Tian Renli looked melancholy. The Dalian Exchange Futures had soybean meal and soybeans, but no soybean oil, and the position was small. If the position was small, it would not be able to transfer much risk, and if it was too large, there would be no opponent.

Lu Fei stared: "There is a safer way."

Looking at each other, Tian Renli instantly understood: "Boss Lu means, like Lu Hua, to withdraw from the purchasing group?"

Lu Fei said: "What does Mr. Tian think?"

Tian Renli raised his neck violently, poured the spirits into his throat, then picked up a towel and wiped his face, "Damn it, I bet! Anyway, if there are more purchasing groups, I will not be many, and if I am missing, I will be quite a lot." !"

"Hard enough!"

Lu Fei poured him wine.

"No, Mr. Lu, you are the tough and tall!"

Tian Renli gave a thumbs up and toasted respectfully.

With a ding, the wine glass made a crisp sound.

Pushing a cup to change a cup, but the hot pot feast is not enjoyable. Under the high pressure of the soybean crisis, even the best appetite will be discounted.

The three of them were half drunk and half awake, and walked to the door after paying the bill.

Lu Fei stretched out his hand: "Mr. Tian, ​​I hope you can persuade the company. Compared with me, if the Jiusan Group is speaking, I think they can still pay attention to it."

"must!"

Tian Renli grasped it and shook it vigorously a few times: "I hope you don't get caught by Mr. Lu's words. The worst result didn't happen."

"hope so."

Lu Fei sighed, watching his back as he turned and left.

Sun Mengquan, who had been silent for the whole time, suddenly opened his mouth: "Boss Lu, I finally understand."

Lu Fei was surprised: "What do you understand?"

"You are all drunk and I am sober."

Sun Mengquan's eyes were full of admiration, and he praised.

"Just try my best."

Lu Fei laughed at himself, took out his phone and dialed:
"Sister Xin, tell Carlson and them to execute the plan!"
