Rebirth

Two days later, Li Feng's New York mansion.

Early in the morning, Wang Siqing handed over several documents to Li Feng and explained: "John, this is some investigation reports on the four major grain merchants and global commodity trading companies. According to Kavat, this is really costly. A lot of thought."

In the past two days, Li Feng comforted the black beauty Beyoncé at the Waldorf Astoria. Similarly, the few women in the family would naturally not be left in the cold. Fortunately, Li Feng’s powerful body was able to withstand him, and often from Waldorf. The hotel leaves the unsatisfied body and returns home to be completely released.

He put Beyonce back yesterday, and now Li Feng stays at home honestly.No, early in the morning, Wang Siqing helped bring the materials Li Feng wanted.

Since the last exchange with Bunge’s two big guys, Li Feng suddenly wanted to get to know the next Bunge and the four major grain merchants, as well as the Macrich and Glencore that the previous two said, and then through simple The collection knows that commodity trading companies like Glencore play a very important role in this world unknowingly.

Generally speaking, most of the global commodity trading companies are unknown, especially before the big explosion of Internet information. For ordinary people, who cares about the commodity trading giants are only the top ones. Only the upper class will care.

Whether it is the major agricultural and sideline food transactions such as the ABCD four major grain merchants or those energy and mining commodity trading companies, these giants have quietly affected every aspect of the world.

Li Feng had only heard of these companies before, but he didn’t care about it. After all, he had no contact with these giants at present, but after the voluntary invitation of two of Bunge’s big brothers, Li Feng naturally began to think Let's understand the situation in this regard.

...

Speaking of large transactions, I have to mention one person, that is, Macridge, who was mentioned before. This former American Jew is definitely a legend in this regard, with the "king of modern commodity trading, the king of oil" and so on. Various titles.

Today, among the global commodity companies, there are four major grain merchants, such as agricultural and sideline food trading giants that directly control nearly eight floors of the world, as well as energy and mining commodity trading giants such as Glencore, Victor Group, and Trafigura.

Among them, Glencore's name is considered the most resounding. The predecessor of Glencore is the Macrich Corporation founded by Macrich. However, commodity companies often rely on trade differences for profit, and they are all transnational trades. It is easy to get involved in the political economy of various countries, leading to secrets that many ordinary people can't see.

For example, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the two camps might be hostile, but for this commodity company, the hostility between the two camps is an opportunity for them. There needs to be such a middleman to match the bridge.

In this way, the bigwigs of these commodity companies have very close relations with the political and economic strong people of both sides. For example, the aforementioned Macridge has a network of contacts from the Middle East to the United States, from the former Soviet Union, Russia to Europe. .

One phone call may be able to contact the oligarchs in Russia, the royal families of the oil countries in the Middle East, or the oil energy giants in Europe and the United States, such as Mobil and Shell.

Macridge was said to have been too involved in politics at the time, including the Iran hostage incident. It is said that he was involved in it, and every time the United States had to impose sanctions on which country, Macridge would often act in this country. A large amount of trade has led to Macridge being wanted by the American government.

......

As a rebirth person, Li Feng also knows that after the new century, trade-based commodity giants such as Glencore have changed their business models and started to participate in investment in energy, mining and other raw materials to facilitate The company can master upstream resources and expand profits.

Later generations of Glencore have even become comparable to these international mining giants such as Brazil Freshwater and BHP Billiton. This type of giant that masters the underlying upstream resources in one hand and controls the global commodity trading with the other can imagine its influence.

"Based on these intelligence analysis, Woolsey and them all believe that today's commodity companies are beginning to get involved in the upstream supply chain, such as the four major grain merchants who directly participate in agricultural production companies, seed companies, and spending companies. Nengke and other companies with energy mining as the trading center are all involved in the energy mining industry, and they are beginning to think about controlling the supply of upstream resources." Seeing Li Feng starting to look through the documents, Wang Siqing said again.

"Yes, the original commodity company is a trading company after all. It uses a trade surplus to make profits. Such profits are too low, less than 1% of the net profit. These giants are all personally. Those who participate in these commodity transactions are very aware of the huge profits that can be gained from trading directly after controlling the raw materials, and they are naturally excited.

These commodity trading companies will naturally not be satisfied with a trading company when they are rich, and the upstream resources are naturally easier to control.

After all, the world is roughly like this. The places where upstream resources are produced are often the poorest and most chaotic places. It is convenient for these giants to operate. This world is really amazing."Li Feng responded with a smile.

"I think John, you can join Bunge Company. Didn't you live on millions of acres of land before? It just so happens that you can directly cooperate with Bunge, so that your land will have a stable income. Aren't you still worried about how to manage the land after you get it? It's not killing two birds with one stone." Wang Siqing joked with a smile.

"I'm quite interested in joining Bunge, but I'm thinking about how to join it. I'm not interested in just being a name, and I'm not only interested in Bunge, but I'm more interested in this Glencore, but unfortunately , Glencore is headquartered in Europe."

"Haha..., have you forgotten that Macridge's ex-wife has been lobbying the government for the cancellation of the wanted for Macridge? Didn't Woolsey say anything, Macridge has already donated a lot through his ex-wife Political donation."

Seeing that Macridge’s ex-wife had been helping him to say in the documents that American dignitaries wanted Washington to cancel the global wanted for Macridge, Wang Siqing couldn’t help but smile back.

...

"This is a place that can be used, but Macrich has completely separated from Glencore, and his shares have been sold by him. Maybe he can only lead a line."

"It's enough to pull a thread. As for the next step, it's up to us, and now Glencore has always wanted to control the upstream resources. This requires a lot of funds, and there may be opportunities."

"That's OK, Sister Qing, please contact Kavat and ask them to find a way to contact Macrich's ex-wife first, and try to contact them first." Look at the document about Glencore and Macri Qi's assessment and the lobbying situation of his ex-wife in the United States, Li Feng finally made up his mind.

"Okay, I will explain what you mean to Kavat and Woolsey. I think they will understand what you mean." Wang Siqing said.

"Well, that would trouble you, Sister Qing!"

"That's fine, I'll get in touch now."

"..."

Seeing Wang Siqing turned around to make arrangements, Li Feng couldn't help but flipping through the documents in his hand again, and his understanding of this so-called'bulk commodity trading' was getting deeper and deeper. The water in it was very deep, and it could almost match the military industry. Got a fight.

If Li Feng can participate in the shares and form influence, it is not about how much money he can make. After all, the profits of these commodity companies are very low. Just like Bunge's revenue is nearly 20 billion, the profit is less than 200 million. The year is not good or even less than 100 million.

But its influence is indeed huge. Participating in these companies is not about how much money can be made, but the invisible influence. To really make money, the Internet technology companies of Silicon Valley and Nasdaq are the most important. Suitable.
