The unusual movements of tungsten futures on the London Exchange for several consecutive days have attracted the attention of all parties. With constant news in the market, some people began to continue to increase their bets, and the price rose by 50% in just a few days.
The price of tungsten ore on the New York Stock Exchange is also rising, and a large number of funds on Wall Street have taken notice, including Soros's Quantum Fund and Robertson's Tiger Fund.
The two of them were trading tungsten futures on the New York Exchange while also entering the London Exchange.
The office was busy. Soros was looking through the latest information in his hand, secretly thinking about how to deceive Schroders Group.
Judging from the current news, all tungsten mines in South Africa are controlled by a man named Lu Feng. As long as the tungsten mines continue to cease production, the price will skyrocket.
Although it has increased by 50%, compared with large funds, this increase is not enough to allow funds to escape safely. If Schroeder wants to invest enough money to take over, he must give a force majeure
reason.
The phone on the table rang. Soros picked it up and asked: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Lambert. I must remind you that the suspension of tungsten mine production in South Africa is just a revenge measure by Lu Feng. He can resume production at the tungsten mine at any time. Don't give up easily. You will lose all your money."
Lambert helped him analyze tungsten ore, global tungsten ore production distribution, tungsten alloy production volume, demand, reserves in various countries, etc.
"I have decided to enter the London Stock Exchange. Don't worry. As long as the price goes up, it is not him who has the final say whether the tungsten mine resumes production." Soros said confidently: "Robertson and I are very excited about this transaction.
Have confidence."
Lambert tried to persuade him for a long time to no avail. At this time, whether Lu Feng provoked the incident was his own fault or whether the Schroeder Group was behind it, it no longer mattered. What mattered was that they just wanted to fight!
"Since you have already decided, I won't say anything more," Robert said helplessly.
"By the way, can you give me Lu Feng's contact information?" Soros asked.
After getting Lu Feng's contact number, Soros hung up the phone, picked up the internal phone next to him, and called the trader directly.
"London Stock Exchange, tungsten concentrate, buy 10 million US dollars, no capital allocation!"
At the same time, Tiger Management also bought tens of millions of US dollars in tungsten ore futures on the same day. The price of tungsten ore rose by 7% that day, attracting reports from major financial media.
In the morning, the financial director called Lu Feng and told him that Lu Feng's account had made a profit of 50 million US dollars and asked him if he wanted to sell it.
Lu Feng did not sell, but was wondering, what are these people on Wall Street doing? Shouldn't he call himself to discuss this matter? If there is a problem with the tungsten alloy, the impact will be huge, and high-end manufacturing costs will rise sharply.
However, there is no news at all so far.
Even if Lu Feng tried his best, he would never come up with a scene where two gangs fight each other.
It was already the end of February, and competition in the domestic mobile phone market was extremely fierce. Motorola and Nokia launched various activities one after another, but there was still no way to deal with the low price of Jiaxun mobile phones. During this period, Almi even called Lu Feng twice to express his hope.
The two parties should strengthen cooperation and let Lu Feng increase the price.
In the conference room, Du Guoying reported the sales situation in the past month. According to the current situation, there should be no problem selling three thousand mobile phones per month, but the losses are indeed severe. Basically, you will lose more than a thousand yuan to sell a mobile phone.
.
"This loss is still bearable. It's nothing to lose tens of millions in one year." Lu Feng looked at the report and asked Zhu Lidong: "How is Huaqiangbei?"
"The price of accessories is too low or there is a problem. Recently, a group of people in Huaqiangbei assemble our mobile phones and sell them to the north." Zhu Lidong sighed and said: "A few days ago, we teamed up with the Shenzhen police to crack down on a second-hand dealer, and we also
He said he knows you, his name is Cui Ning."
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, then shook his head and said, "I don't know him!"
"It seems like it's a bluff." Zhu Lidong said to himself.
"How many years will he be sentenced to?" Lu Feng asked.
"I heard that the charges are serious this time, because he is reselling unusable mobile phones, which involves fraud, and he has no qualifications. He can't get it out after ten years. By the way, he has a lot of ours in his hands.
If you don’t hand over your mobile phone, you probably want to take it out and sell it,” Zhu Lidong muttered.
"It was only 2006 when it came out." Lu Feng sighed.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. How are the talks in Zhejiang going?" Lu Feng asked.
"Mr. Du and I came back the day before yesterday. They want to cooperate, but their signal towers don't have much coverage. A man named Wu Ying is talking to them. I heard that it is the technology from Fuso, and the signal towers are specially built.
Cheap." Zhu Lidong said.
"Let's talk as soon as possible and tell them that we can pay to build signal towers. It's the same as the Jiangsu model, except that we don't have to spend network fees. We want ten years of income rights from the signal towers," Lu Feng ordered.
The company is getting bigger and bigger, and as long as it does not seek death, it will become more and more stable. For Jiafeng, the entrepreneurial period has passed. Now Jiafeng is a big guy. Wei Yandan is responsible for daily affairs and grand strategy.
Fewer and fewer.
Lu Feng finally raised the price of mobile phone accessories to avoid the return of inmates. At the same time, he also noticed that fakes of various Jiafeng products began to appear in Huaqiangbei, from TVs to VCDs to mobile phones.
Everything.
When he first heard Zhu Lidong talk about this, Lu Feng expressed that he was pleased. This was a good start.
The internal situation has stabilized, but the external problems have not been solved. John still sent an audit team, which has been reviewing Jiafeng's accounts during this period. They first found out about the loan of 50 million US dollars. Lu Feng faced John
The inquiry was also very frank, saying that he had bought tungsten ore futures and asked him to help raise the price, which made John very angry.
The price of tungsten ore was still rising, and it was March in the blink of an eye. Lu Feng still didn't get the call he wanted. Not only was there no news about Lambert, but Shi Watanabe also seemed to have disappeared.
The weather started to get warmer. Lu Feng was sitting in the leisure area set up in front of his house, enjoying the sea breeze. Duoduo was squatting next to him and playing with the dog he picked up from someone's house.
"It's already been March and nothing has been accomplished!" Lu Feng sighed.
"Dad, what do you want to do this year?" Duoduo raised his head and asked.
"Three things: Let the chips be produced. Let the company stabilize. Let the market get better." Lu Feng said casually.
"Then why do you want to take my mine?" Duoduo asked.
"That's not a mine, that's a dog-beating stick. It's just in your name and belongs to the company's property. Dad has a doubt now." Lu Feng frowned.
"What doubts?"
"The dog-beating stick was thrown out. I didn't hear the dog barking." Lu Feng said in confusion.
"I missed it!" Duoduo touched the dog on his hand and comforted him, saying that he was not hitting it.
"It's impossible to miss. Dad's skills are quite good." Lu Feng leaned on the chair and muttered: "It's impossible. What happened here?"
"I don't know what happened. I only know that my mine is gone. Now I am embarrassed to use the nickname mine owner in school." Duoduo shouted.
Lu Feng disliked her for being noisy, so he turned to look at her and said, "Stop saying a few words and return the dog to me. You can go back to your room and do your homework."
Changhong, a blue folder was placed on the chairman's desk. It was about a company in the Czech Republic that went bankrupt and had a set of 90% new photolithography machines for sale.
After a while, seven or eight people came into the office. Most of Changhong's senior managers were there, talking all kinds of things.
"I think this matter should not be reported. Jiafeng Group is our competitor. Besides, who is Lu Feng? Why should we help him?"
"I also think there is no need to do this. To put it bluntly, if Jiafeng goes bankrupt, it will be the most beneficial to us. Now the TV market is stable, but no one has much profit. If Jiafeng goes bankrupt,
The freed up market share is enough for companies in all industries to have a grand event."
Everyone was chattering, and most people felt that there was no need to help Jiafeng. It was originally a matter issued by the Science and Technology Committee. Finding the lithography machine was a matter of friendship, but not finding it was a duty.
"It's better to report it. In any case, the lithography machine does not produce TV sets and has no direct competition with us."
The new chairman sitting in the seat said: "Lu Feng has done a lot of things. Competition is competition. At critical times, you still have to look at the overall situation. I called and reported it and asked someone to contact the person in charge of the company.
.”
A few hours later, Lu Feng received a call from the Science and Technology Commission, saying that a partner of Changhong in Saudi Arabia had contacted a company in the Czech Republic through a relationship. They had a set of photolithography equipment, but the company went bankrupt and only one was left.
The factory building needs to be transported back by yourself.
"Okay, okay, special thanks to the Changhong brothers, and thank you to the Saudi brothers! You've worked hard too!" Lu Feng said excitedly into his cell phone: "At what price do they plan to sell it?"
After some communication, the matter was finalized. Lu Feng called the chairman of Changhong and thanked him. However, another difficult question loomed in front of him, how to transport it back?
Lu Feng didn't care about that. He was in a good mood at the moment. He went out to buy vegetables and cooked three or four dishes after not cooking for a long time. Jiang Xiaoyan was surprised when she came back in the evening and saw this table of dishes.
"Why do you think of cooking?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked as she put the bag aside.
Lu Feng explained the matter briefly. Jiang Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment and said: "Changhong's partner in Saudi Arabia? How can a company selling TVs have a Saudi partner? Don't let others deceive you, let alone you."
The two companies are still in a competitive relationship.”
