Yu Yongan rushed to Prague within the specified time with five million US dollars.
When they met, he ignored his envy of the presidential suite where Yao Yuan lived, and said with excitement, "Mr. Yao, you told me at first that you could get as much goods as you wanted and how much money you could make by transporting them to Moscow. I didn't agree at first.
I believe it too much.”
He quickly took out a cigar and handed one to Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan smiled and waved his hand, picked up Soft Chinese and lit a root, sat down on the sofa, and motioned for Yu Yongan to sit down and talk. Yu Yongan took off his coat, put it on the armrest of the sofa, and put the cigar box in his hand on the coffee table.
He took a puff on his cigar and blew out the smoke.
"Now, I just wish I hadn't met you earlier, Mr. Yao." Yu Yong'an said with emotion, "At that time, I brought two carriages of clothing to the Far East to meet Brother Sen. Do you know what was going on at that time? Our goods
Before we even got out of the car, they were robbed by second-rate dealers!"
He said that he was not a second-rate dealer, Yao Yuan found it funny.
Yu Yongan has changed a lot, even more than Lu Sen.
A few months ago, he was a down-and-out small business owner, running a struggling small garment factory. Now, looking at his demeanor, people who didn't know thought he was a big boss in Hong Kong, standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Bancheng.
Yu Yongan said excitedly, "When I saw this situation, I felt something was wrong. The Soviet Union was a superpower on an equal footing with the United States. How could such a situation happen? But I didn't think much about it. Brother Sen said there was
You can sell whatever you want."
"I followed your instructions, gritted my teeth and stamped my feet, and invested all the money, all in light industrial products. I was related in Southeast Asia, imported rice from there, entrusted the mainland factory to process it into flour, and in the Northeast
Buy wheat flour directly, instead of selling it in the Far East, bring it directly to Moscow. I have calculated that if you bring it to Moscow, the profit can be doubled."
"Who would have thought that just when I arrived in Moscow, Gorbachev announced the disintegration of the Soviet Union! At the Moscow train station, my goods were robbed before they even left the train station, and the profit was three times the expected
…”
Yao Yuan asked, "You mean, you invested all the funds in the second transaction?"
"Yes." Yu Yongan nodded proudly.
Yao Yuan was quite satisfied and said, "Not bad."
Yu Yongan seemed to be encouraged, and as if he had put down a big stone, he whispered, "Later, I found that the price of the ruble was very unstable and showed an overall downward trend. I was wondering if I could take advantage of this and transfer profits to
How about mentioning it?"
Seeing that Yao Yuan's expression did not change, he boldly spoke out his operation, "I found that the Soviet Union's light industry is very backward. They either cannot produce many things or cannot meet the market demand, but their heavy industry products are very powerful."
Licking his lips, he said, "They are very rich in wood resources. There are many in Siberia and the Far East. I investigated the domestic wood market and found that although the supply is OK, high-quality wood is in short supply."
"Because the ruble price is unstable, it can be said that it changes every day. Although the increase does not seem to be large, when the volume increases, the profit gap between one after the other becomes larger. Originally, I no longer accepted ruble transactions, but then I thought about it.
It is also an opportunity to create more profits. Just accept the rubles in full and use the rubles to buy Siberian timber and transport it back to the country. In terms of the ruble exchange rate alone, even if you sell at a loss today, you will still make a profit..."
Although what Yu Yongan said was very confusing and he did not fully understand the huge profit point in it, it was already very difficult to think of it and take advantage of it.
Yao Yuan was worried that he could not find a suitable person to take charge of "shorting the ruble". Now that the problem has been solved, Yu Yong'an is the most suitable candidate.
The boss does not need to be proficient, he only needs to understand what is going on here. Yu Yongan can definitely find a group of professionals from Hong Kong to handle this matter in detail.
Yao Yuan said straight to the point, "Old Yu, I have two things for you to do. The first one is to sign a purchase contract with the Pilsen Machinery Factory in the name of Moscow Import and Export Trading Company. The subject is a five-axis linkage CNC machine tool. The machine will be launched this month.
It’s the last day to ship back to China, which is a top priority.”
"Understood, Mr. Yao, don't worry, as long as you enter Russia, I guarantee to transport the machinery back to the country unscathed." When Yu Yongan heard the words five-axis linkage CNC machine tool, he immediately knew the meaning.
"The second thing." Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "Find a way to borrow rubles, borrow as much as you have, borrow as much as you can, take any method, and spend all the borrowed rubles according to the list I gave you.
The focus is on oil, crude oil, and refined oil products, all of which must be shipped back to the country."
Yu Yongan was startled and asked in surprise, "Mr. Yao, will your mission ruble collapse?"
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Yao Yuan did this.
Yao Yuan did not intend to hide anything from Yu Yongan. He nodded slowly and said, "The Russian government will announce economic reforms and implement shock therapy this month. This move will quickly destroy the credit of the ruble, and a major economic turmoil is coming."
Once shock therapy was implemented, it meant that Russia was lying flat.
Yu Yongan said, "Although I don't understand shock therapy, the ruble won't collapse in just one month, right? Although the overall trend is downward now, the entire Russian economy is still relatively stable. To break down the credit of the ruble
, Isn’t it easy? What kind of shock therapy is this..."
"I can't tell you in a few words, Lao Yu, can your Yu family become a big family in Hong Kong? How much clothing, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels and bedding can you make billions by just doing this? To seize this opportunity, you only need a few
Month." Yao Yuan said.
Yu Yongan was dumbfounded, "Billions of billions?"
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "All the money in my hand will be divided into two parts, one part will be invested in physical transactions, and the other part will be invested in the London Stock Exchange. The latter is already being done, and the former, I plan to give it to you."
Yu Yongan began to think deeply and smoked his cigar.
He is very satisfied with the current situation. He drinks vodka, smokes cigars with Russian beauties, makes a few phone calls to complete the import and export trade, and waits for the profits to fall into his pocket. After working for a year or two, he will make a profit of 100 million.
The problem is, it's much more comfortable than working hard to earn a little money by running a clothing factory.
Now Yao Yuan wants him to invest all his money in betting on the collapse of the Russian economy.
That's Russia, a big country that inherited 70% of the Soviet Union's legacy. It's still the largest country in the world in terms of land area, and it's a big country with rich mineral resources!
Is it that easy to collapse?
However, this time, Yu Yongan did not think about it for a long time. His trust in Yao Yuan reached an unprecedented level. Furthermore, how did Yao Yuan know what kind of economic policies the Russian government would introduce? It means that he has channels for upper-level connections!
"Mr. Yao, I'll do it. I'll do whatever you ask me to do! I also know a bit about the stock market. To be honest, I have a small team in Hong Kong that has been speculating in stocks." Yu Yongan said decisively.
Yao Yuan was very satisfied, "Very good, I will ask He Shirley to go to Hong Kong as soon as possible. She will be in charge of Hong Kong. After the matter here is over, you will return to Moscow immediately, lend the rubles, and make purchases according to the list."
"Understood. Mr. Yao, do you want to continue inspections in Eastern Europe? I brought five million US dollars and left you two million." Yu Yongan said generously.
Three million US dollars is the budget for purchasing five-axis linkage CNC machine tools and cannot be moved.
Yao Yuan was not polite, "Okay, I'll lend it to you."
"Mr. Yao, please don't say that, it's not a lot of money." Yu Yong'an said quickly.
Yao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Brothers are still clear about settling accounts, so there is no need to say more about this matter."
Things are arranged here, and then it’s all time.
Yao Yuan is not proficient in the securities market. He never focuses on areas he is not proficient in. This time is an exception.
The most important reason is that he does not have enough funds to affect the market direction. Now this problem is not the first problem, because Mitsubishi Corporation provided him with financing services and allocated a sum of funds to cooperate with him.
Little Japan knew what was going to happen next, but they didn't dare to move.
But Yao Yuan dares to move. He is not afraid of the Americans. Sooner or later, there will be a fierce battle with the Americans. He doesn't mind tearing a piece of meat from the Americans' mouths before the official fight begins.
A total of US$1 billion in funds is the ammunition Yao Yuan invested in the securities market.
10 times leverage means that if the loss exceeds 10%, the position will be forcibly liquidated. Coupled with the US$200 million invested by Mitsubishi Corporation, Yao Yuan can command US$1.2 billion of capital to ruthlessly wander the securities market.
Making money with the capital of Little Japan is what Yao Yuan is most happy to do.
When it comes to physical transactions, Yao Yuan doesn't let anyone get involved. This is the target of his secret warehouse. In the final analysis, whether it is bonds or banknotes, including the numbers on the bank account, when they cannot be exchanged for physical objects, they are just a pile of paper.
The blockade of China by Western countries has created a situation where people who have money often cannot buy things, cannot buy good things, or pay extremely high prices for backward things.
To achieve the goal, extremely complex operations and long waits are often required.
Now there is such an opportunity to buy much-needed advanced equipment, advanced technology, and rich resources from various Soviet republics at extremely low prices and bring them home directly. Isn't this more immediate than tossing in the stock market?
He firmly believes in a principle - only money spent has its own value.
There is a pile of money lying on the books, which is called dead money. Only when it flows can it continue to bring profits to the company. This is especially true in business. The excellence of a company is often evaluated not by its profits on the books, but by its profits on the books.
It depends on the market significance, reality and prospects of what it is actually doing.
Only in this way can the illusory so-called stock price in the securities market be supported.
Industry, industry, industry is the foundation of everything.
