Chapter 175 Investing in Crude Oil Futures (That, hehe, cheekily begging everyone for votes again)

After dinner, Zhang Lan took Xiao Chenxi back to the bedroom, told Xiao Chenxi the details, and finally firmly told Xiao Chenxi one thing: he wanted to buy international oil futures during this period.

Due to its unique characteristics of being able to buy both up and down, futures are destined to make money as long as your eyes are accurate, whether it is a bear market or a bull market, you can make money, and not like the stock market, you can only make money when it rises, and for investors, compared with the stock market, the supervision of the futures market is also more stringent. Moreover, the unique margin system of the futures market can also allow you to get the maximum return with the minimum effort. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhang Lan will not miss it.

"Are you so sure that the war between the United States and Iraq will be won in a short period of time?" Regarding Zhang Lan's almost prophetic statement, although the two have been together for so many years, Zhang Lan has seen a lot of various magics, Xiao Chenxi still feels a little incomprehensible, "And you are so sure that the price of oil will fall?" According to the general laws of the economy, during the war, the price of such a strategic material as oil will only rise, not fall. And now there is no way for you to trade futures in China, what are you going to do? ”

"Don't worry, I've never been so sure!" Zhang Lan nodded, her eyes looked directly at Xiao Chenxi, her face was firm, and her expression was more serious than she had ever been, "For the problem of trading, we can hand over all the funds to Alice and ask her to organize an operation team to operate in the futures market in the United States." ”

"Okay," Xiao Chenxi stood up helplessly, "Since you are so sure, then Alice and I will help you, provided that you can convince that girl." ”

"Thank you." Zhang Lan was a little moved in her heart, no matter when, no matter whether the decision she made was right or wrong, Xiao Chenxi had always been like this, silently supporting herself behind her.

"Thank you, I don't need to." Xiao Chenxi didn't turn her head, "You still have to find a way to convince Alice that girl." ”

"Are you crazy?" On the phone, after listening to Xiao Chenxi's helpless words, Alice's surprised mouth forgot to close. "This kid is crazy, is this girl of yours also crazy with him?"

"What is he going to do, when does he have to stick to it? And this guy has super shit luck and can succeed every time. Xiao Chenxi said helplessly, "Can you have any other way?" ”

"Ugh." Hearing Xiao Chenxi's words, Alice was immediately deflated, "I can't help it." ”

"That's it," Zhang Lan interjected on the side, "you keep enough liquidity for the company's daily needs, and then mobilize all the funds that can be mobilized to prepare to enter the international oil futures market." Then on the domestic side, I have to trouble Alice to do the work of my parents, except for the various funds and working capital needed for the development of the motorcycle company, the rest of the funds are all transferred in. Well. If the two of them are unwilling, they will only withdraw the part of the funds corresponding to the shares of the three of us. ”

Alas, it seems that he is going to bully his parents for a while with Alice's hand, Zhang Lan is quite a little crying and laughing in her heart, her son is really ...... Unfilial.

"So?" Alice pondered for a moment, thinking about the idea that Zhang Lan hadn't gone crazy enough to put all her years of hard work into it this time, and finally agreed, "Okay, if you really lose, the money you earned at that time will be wasted." Anyway, the company is still there, so you don't have to worry about losing money and starting from scratch. ”

"Don't worry," Zhang Lan laughed, "I won't pay for it." I don't understand the operation methods and market rules of futures. But just now my sister has told you about the price development and trend of the international crude oil market during this period, and you can find a professional futures operator to arrange the operation plan according to this trend. After thinking about it, he added, "Try to use the economic leverage of futures margin and make it as big as possible." ”

"Got it," Alice's limp voice came over the phone. "My boss Zhou Papi!"

Sweating, this girl even knows about Zhou Papi! Zhang Lan was almost knocked to the ground by this girl's words.

"What?" Zhang Zongjun was so excited that he almost dropped the phone in his hand to the ground, "You want to siphon out the funds?" ”

"Brother Zhang, are you listening to me say that it is intact?" On the phone, Alice also felt very sorry, "I mean that on the premise of ensuring that the company leaves enough development funds and liquidity, the profits of the part of the shares that belong to me now will be withdrawn, and Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi also agree to withdraw the funds of their corresponding shares, if you don't agree, the profits of your and your eldest sister's shares can be retained." Well, or you can imagine that the company will pay dividends at the end of the year in advance. ”

"That's it," Zhang Zongjun let out a sigh of relief, gently patted his heart that was almost stopped by Alice just now, and then asked a little puzzled, "Are you so sure that this futures can make money?" ”

When she first heard that Alice was going to withdraw the funds, Zhang Zongjun was startled, and thought that this girl was going to withdraw all the funds. The funds are withdrawn, what will happen to the company? For a moment, Zhang Zongjun seemed to feel that his heart had stopped beating, and since it wasn't, he was much more relieved now.

"Well," Alice's voice on the phone was very sure, in fact, this girl's heart was not bottomed, "As long as there is a war, there is no reason why the price of strategic materials like oil will not rise, not to mention that Iraq is officially one of the largest oil producers in the world, and there is no reason not to increase the price." So this is the best time to invest in futures, and if I miss this opportunity, I can't imagine when the next time such a god-given opportunity will appear. ”

On the phone, Alice didn't dare to say to Zhang Zongjun that the price of international crude oil would fall, otherwise he would definitely suspect that his head was in water: how could the price of oil fall when there was a war? Three-year-olds don't believe it either, do they?

"So?" Zhang Zongjun hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Since you are all so confident, then let's leave enough liquidity for the company to need for a while, and my eldest sister's money and I will also invest it!" ”

Little rabbit, don't tell Lao Tzu if you have such a good opportunity to make money! See how I clean you up when I get home tonight! Zhang Zongjun secretly scolded Zhang Lan who was restless at home and waiting for news.

"Ahh Ahh Zhang Lan, who was at home, sneezed several times in succession, and Zhang Lan, who felt it in her heart, raised her head and secretly wondered: Who is scolding me?

"It's done!" Not long after, Alice's phone called, "Your dad agreed, and not only that, but he also agreed to invest the money from his and your mother's share of the shares!" ”

Agreed? Finally, Zhang Lan, who was anxiously waiting for the good news she was looking forward to. Excitedly swung his fist into the air: Fuck, cute dollars, you guys just go into my wallet this time!

This year, it will be a little more than eight months into production, and it is now entering its ninth month of production. But the profit data for the first eight months has been counted, with a total of 510,000 motorcycles of various types produced, and the profit has reached an astonishing 4.1 billion! In addition to the necessary funds and working capital for the development of the company, there are 3.8 billion funds that can be used, which is about 400 million dollars!

As soon as this data comes out. Not only Zhang Zongjun, but even Alice was taken aback, earning 4.1 billion in less than three quarters, which is as unreal as a fantasy.

Combining all the funds on both sides of Zhang Lan's family and Alice, without affecting the normal operation of the company, the total amount of funds that can be gathered this time is one billion US dollars, and Alice provided the remaining 600 million, which is not very reasonable, because 51% of the 400 million US dollars of the motorcycle company are Alice's. After knowing that so much money was actually used for this oil futures speculation. Zhang Zongjun was a little frightened, and once asked Alice, can she make a profit this time, and how much profit can she have?

Alice replied after careful consideration, the profit is certain, but it is difficult to say how much profit it can make, and it is conservatively estimated that it can be about 20% profitable.

Of course, this figure was deliberately reduced by Alice, if the progress of the matter is really as Zhang Lan said, according to the economic leverage of the futures margin system, according to the 8% crude oil futures margin. 1 billion US dollars can buy about 12 billion US dollars of oil futures, through short-selling and other operational means, I dare not say that we can make a profit of more than 50 percent, but a profit of about 35 to 40 percent can be guaranteed.

The crux of the matter. That is, the price of international crude oil is really developing as Zhang Lan said, and if it can really be as Zhang Lan said, it can at least earn more than 4 billion US dollars.

Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi didn't care about the transfer of funds, because there was one more thing that the two of them needed to work together, because at this moment, Director Liu of the Economic and Trade Commission called. Tell Zhang Zongjun that the Institute of Metal Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is willing to carry out preliminary negotiations on this cooperation, and how to develop and whether the cooperation between the two sides can succeed depends on the results of the negotiations between the two sides.

――――――――――

PS: In order to prevent a big scolding that I said that the net profit of 4.1 billion in 8 months is nonsense, Tongtong is very conscious of announcing some data for everyone to see, these data are now engaged in the motorcycle industry to me, if you don't believe it, you can also check it.

In 1990, the total sales of the domestic motorcycle market was 30 billion yuan, all of which were the sales of several large state-owned motorcycle manufacturers. At that time, there were only a few state-owned motorcycle manufacturers in China, and there were no private motorcycle manufacturers, and the market was in short supply, and there was almost no competition.

If you have an impression, you should remember that the price of a Jialing 70 was 12,000 at that time, but everyone didn't know that the cost of this car at that time was only 5,000, and you can calculate the profit by yourself.

In the previous chapters, I have explained that the annual production capacity of the production line is 350,000 units, and the annual output can reach more than 700,000 units through technical transformation and overtime production, the average price of motorcycles at that time was 15,000, the factory price was 10,000, and the cost was less than 5,000, but the price of Alice Motorcycle Company motorcycles was a little higher than those cars in China, and the support of high-end motorcycles, so the average price was 18,000, and the net profit of each motorcycle was about 8,000 on average. The eight-month output is 510,000 units, and the profit of 4.1 billion is completely acceptable.
