Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

10 Liverpool Street. London Futures Exchange!

It's drizzling in London today, and the weather seems a bit cold, but the futures exchange is bustling with people.

As the world's largest non-ferrous metals exchange, currently traded metal varieties include copper, aluminum, lead, zinc, nickel, etc. The prices and inventories of the exchange have an important impact on the production and sales of non-ferrous metals around the world. Therefore, It has also attracted the attention of investors from all over the world.

In addition to the common tall and muscular white people here, you can also see Asian faces, and occasionally you can see dark-skinned black uncles, but the number is relatively small.

At this time, while the investors in the exchange were busy staring at the market, a Chinese team of more than ten people, surrounded by several white people, walked into the exchange and quickly got a ticket to a high-end VIP room. Rights of use.

The arrival of these people did not attract anyone's attention, but in less than 10 minutes, the trading volume of steel, copper, and aluminum on the exchange became active.

In less than an hour, more than 25 lots of 8-ton steel were traded.

However, the current steel inventory in the market exceeds more than 3000 million tons. Compared with such a large inventory, the transaction volume of only 20 tons did not attract much attention.

Even the price did not fluctuate much, only rising from 166 pounds to 166.8 pounds per ton.

In comparison, the price fluctuations of copper and aluminum are a bit obvious.

在张金秋等人收购了800手铜和1100手铝之后，铜的价格由之前的1228英镑每吨上涨到了1236英镑，每吨上涨了8英镑。

The price of aluminum increased from 1027 pounds per ton to 1032 pounds per ton, an increase of 5 pounds per ton.

In view of this, Zhang Jinqiu immediately ordered the team to suspend the purchase of copper and aluminum contracts, and then turned to the purchase of steel contracts, especially high-quality rebar and channel steel.

With the efforts of Zhang Jinqiu and others, the trading volume of steel contracts in the London Metal Futures Market has skyrocketed.

Especially when the market was about to close, more than 3000 contracts were traded in less than half an hour.

Throughout the afternoon, the trading volume of steel contracts increased 120 times compared with the previous day, reaching more than 8000 lots.

Affected by this, when the market closed on the 23rd, the price of London steel futures also rose slightly, reaching 169 pounds, an increase of 3 pounds from the previous day.

Copper and aluminum prices increased more significantly, rising by £18 and £12 respectively.

At the same time, Zhou Xinghua has also made considerable progress.

Throughout the afternoon, he signed cooperation agreements with three intermediaries, stipulating a commission of two pounds per ton of steel to purchase steel on the market for Zhou Xinghua.

In the afternoon of that day, various steel companies and building materials manufacturers in London received a large number of orders, and this trend was rapidly spreading to the entire British Isles.

For these intermediary companies, as long as they sign the contract, they can get a commission of two pounds per ton, and they don't need to worry about anything else. This is simply a good thing that falls from the sky.

The huge profits drove them to shoot out all the salesmen and rush for orders everywhere.

The steel sellers and building materials dealers who received the orders handed over the orders to various steel companies. After the steel companies received the orders, they began to place orders with iron ore and coal plants.

Under such a virtuous cycle, in less than half a day, all industries related to steel have more or less received orders and made money. The entire industry seems to have returned to spring.
It's just that they didn't see the murderous intention hidden under the windfall. A pair of invisible hands was stirring up the metal market in the British Isles!
Hong Kong Island!

When Li Yi received a call from Li Futiao, it was already seven o'clock in the morning.

After learning about the situation, Li Yi was in a great mood!
Although Li Yunbao and others only purchased more than 100 million tons of steel yesterday, it is nothing compared to a country like John Bull that has completed two industrial revolutions.

But one million tons today can be 100 million tons tomorrow.

According to his estimate, the current inventory of steel in the entire British Isles will not exceed 9000 million tons. After all, their national steel production at this time is less than 3000 million tons.

Affected by the general environment, the inventory of steel is three times the annual production, which is considered the extreme, and it cannot be more.As long as they can get 50% of the spot and two-thirds of the futures contracts, they can sweep the entire John Bull steel market.

When the war between Britain and Afghanistan begins, the prices of various metals will inevitably rise sharply, and it will be difficult not to make money.

But before that, we must put on a good show, and we must not let the guys from the British Group notice anything unusual.

Once those guys realize that his so-called 600 billion funds are nothing but empty air, they will definitely fight back.

When the time comes, tens of billions of dollars will be spent, and the consequences will be serious.

Apart from anything else, the New Territory Warehouse that he just acquired may have changed hands.

In addition, other members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce have given most of their working capital to themselves. If their company is attacked, it may not be able to survive.

What’s even more troublesome is that the gang of ghosts from the British-funded group are inextricably linked to those financial groups in Europe. Once they learn that the main funds of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce are all in the British Isles to do long steel and other metals, they might join forces. Get up and snipe him.

Don't underestimate those financial groups, their power is far beyond imagination.

If those big consortiums notice it too early, they may not have a chance to snipe them.

Therefore, we must not let the gang of ghosts from the British-owned group rest.

In view of this, after breakfast, Li Yi rushed to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with high spirits under the protection of Zhang Ziqiang and others.

Just like yesterday, the appearance of Li Yi and others once again attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was still waiting for his actions.

And Li Yi did not disappoint everyone. As soon as the opening bell rang, he immediately ordered people to continue to acquire Huifeng Bank's stocks.

Seeing Li Yi taking the lead, the others immediately lost their worries and followed suit.

Soon, a new round of competition began again.

Driven by a large number of investors, Huifeng's stock price soared again. By the time the market closed on the 24th, it had reached a high price of HK$40 per share, which was infinitely close to three times the previous price.

At this time, some weak hot money is already feeling the pinch. After all, the stock price at this time has far exceeded its actual value.

Once one of the British Group and Star Investment Company stops and leaves the market, they may be trapped.

As a result, Huifeng's stock price rose much more slowly after the 24th.

There are also some people who feel that the stock price has reached its extreme, and begin to slowly release the stocks they previously acquired, preparing to cash out and leave the market.

And at this time, Xingchen Company made new moves. From the 25th to the 26th, they once again increased their positions at a high level that was unexpected but reasonable.

In just two days, they added another 8000 million shares, raising Huifeng's shareholding to 14%.

At this time, Huifeng's stock price was pushed to HK$62 per share, almost five times the original price.

Such crazy behavior not only frightened Dolson and others, but other investors in the entire Hong Kong stock market were also stunned by Li Yi's gambler-like investment method.

After seeing Li Yi's "determination", the furious Dolson could only curse Li Yi as a lunatic over and over again, while continuing to mobilize funds to compete with Li Yi for Huifeng's equity.

But what they don't know is that Li Yi can only go so crazy. At this time, he has almost exhausted all the 30 billion funds, and it is time to close the network.
