Chapter 103 My neighbor stocked up on food and I stocked up on guns.
In Yangpu, in the general manager's office of AMD's China headquarters, Connett sat in a seat specially arranged for him and read through the latest research reports, while Walter accompanied him on the sofa beside him.
"Tell me about the progress of the chips. What level has it reached?"
Connet dropped the report and asked calmly.
After hearing this, Walter sat up slightly and answered:
“At present, we have absorbed 18 million tons of soybean reserves from various channels, of which 10 million tons are fixed chips and will not be used for subsequent sell-offs, while 2 million tons are permanent reserves and are used to maintain the company’s basic operations.
"
"The remaining 6 million tons are the chips we will actually use for subsequent short selling."
"According to our estimates, 6 million tons of soybeans is equivalent to about one month's consumption of China. If all are put into the market at once, it can directly cover the delivery period of the futures and spot markets, ensuring that low prices will remain after the delivery period."
"At the same time, the current international market price of soybeans has reached 960 cents, and the Chinese futures market price has reached 4,300 yuan per ton."
"We judge that the price is close to peaking and we can prepare the next shipment plan."
"Once all 10 million tons of fixed chips are shipped, we can start selling."
Kang Nate nodded and continued to ask:
"What is the expected shipping price?"
"Based on RMB estimates, the total price is about 37 billion - this is also our estimate of the upper limit of funds that the other party's official institutions can provide in the short term."
"Once the acquisition is completed, they will no longer have the energy to deal with subsequent smashing operations, and we will have complete control of the market."
Hearing this, Connet breathed a sigh of relief.
Perfect plan!
On the premise of mastering a large amount of chips, they first raise the price by hoarding chips, and at the same time, they use the other party's rigid demand for soybeans and soybean products to create a gap in supply and demand, forcing the other party to use unconventional means to purchase soybeans to maintain basic domestic consumption.
Then, wait until the other party's emergency funds are exhausted, and then use the remaining chips to smash the market.
If a total of 6 million tons of chips are released at once, no market can absorb it.
What's more, the process of placing chips will also be accompanied by a series of public opinion offensives, triggering a chain reaction in the market...
He could already imagine the consequences of doing so.
Those smart grain merchants will definitely cooperate with themselves in stocking up when prices are high, and then have no choice but to ship out when prices plummet.
So in fact, what these 18 million tons of chips can mobilize will be double or even more than double the futures and spot prices.
Enough to defeat your opponent!
Thinking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
It seems that my opponent is not as strong as I imagined.
They always brag about their history, but in fact, they have made such mistakes countless times, but every time the same situation happens again, they will fall into the same trap.
What a... stupid civilization with a long history...
A civilization like this is destined to be trampled under my feet...
…
At the same time, in a factory affiliated to Norinco.
It's past 12 o'clock, but the workshop in the factory is still brightly lit.
The workers' faces were full of exhaustion, but no one complained.
——
Of course, the excess overtime pay offsets part of the fatigue, but the bigger reason is that these people have actually been accustomed to this rhythm for a long time.
Everyone is usually dawdling around, often missing work for most of the day. The leader's management principle is also to "busy yourself first if you have something to do." But once there is a production task, even if it is three shifts or even two shifts 24 hours a day,
Even if it keeps spinning, you have to work hard to ensure that the production task is completed.
This can probably be regarded as a wonderful balance - be lazy when you can, and when you can't be lazy, no one will hold you back.
On the production line, Wang Xuesong finished tightening the bolts in front of him and rubbed his face fiercely. He was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes.
Seeing that there were still two hours before his shift change, he had no choice but to brace himself and try to wake himself up by talking.
"Hey, Lao Niu, are you still awake?"
Wang Xuesong shouted at the coworker beside him. The latter raised his head. The two dark circles on his glasses looked exactly like the cartoon characters in the little book.
"Just stay awake, there are still two hours left, if you keep at it, you will get through it soon..."
"I can't stand it any longer...hell, I can't even ask for leave now, there's no one to cover my shift."
Wang Xuesong cursed, but the movements of his hands did not stop, as if his hands had evolved their own consciousness, and he finished tightening the passed bolts skillfully and accurately.
"Who says it's not the case... This time the task is really too heavy. There are so many parts at once that we simply can't process them."
"I heard the old man said that the last time the mission was so heavy was in 1979. Now that we are so nervous on the other side of the sea, we won't have to do it again..."
"Who? Do you want me to do it? If you want to say this, then I won't be sleepy anymore!"
Wang Xuesong's eyes lit up instantly, and his originally shaky consciousness stabilized a bit.
Seeing his reaction, Lao Niu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"If you ask me, I'll ask who to go to...but I just said casually that we shouldn't start a fight, because if we did, the factory would have issued a confidentiality notice."
"Now you see, except for the tight production tasks, there is no other response... I guess it's like what Xiao Li said, there are big orders coming from the world."
"Big deal? For rocket launchers?"
Wang Xuesong asked subconsciously.
"That's right. We sell a lot of this stuff. You can tell by looking at the parts we made in the past two days. Most of them are for the cannon."
"I heard that we did sign a deal with the Middle East recently. I guess this is the deal..."
Wang Xuesong nodded thoughtfully, but then asked doubtfully:
"That's not right... Even if it's a big order, I've never seen it be so urgent."
"There's no war in the Middle East right now, so why do you need this thing?"
"This is not a missile, it's a fighter jet or something like that. The rocket launcher can only be considered an ordinary weapon at best. Anyone who wants to buy it should buy it back and have it ready. It can't be improvised."
Lao Niu shook his head and said:
"People have to go back and make preparations. It's just that we have to hurry up and do it ourselves."
"Is it true? Why?"
Hearing this, Wang Xuesong became more and more confused.
According to Lao Niu, the credibility of the export of rocket launchers is indeed very high, at least higher than the credibility of a war with the United States.
But the problem is, I have never seen anything like this before!
These days, state-owned factories, especially the special state-owned factories under Norinco, are relatively unorganized in work style. Unless it is a directly assigned political task, everyone is slow but not fast. How could they work so hard for an export order?
To what extent?
Unreasonable, very unreasonable.
There must be some reason that requires us to complete production as soon as possible.
He raised his question, and Lao Niu shook his head slightly, leaned over slightly, and said mysteriously:
"I heard it's for money."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? What's the point of exporting if it's not for money?"
Wang Xuesong asked dumbly, but Lao Niu's next words made him almost miss a bolt.
"It's not the ordinary kind. This time we are here to make quick money."
"I heard from Xiao Li that our production task this time is actually related to beans."
"Have you not seen how much the price of soybeans has risen recently? It is said that it is manipulated by someone."
"They are deliberately hoarding grain, and they plan to release it to us all at once to lower the price. In this way, they can bankrupt all the grain and oil companies in one line, and they can take advantage of the situation."
"Wocao, so bad?"
Wang Xuesong was shocked.
"Yeah--Haw-chan, isn't that what it is?"
"I haven't finished yet. Because of this matter, the officials have prepared a large amount of funds to deal with their sell-off, but no matter how you calculate it, the ready money is not enough."
"So doesn't this put the idea on our head? As long as this big order can be delivered quickly, we conservatively estimate that we can earn more than one billion. At that time, if we transfer the foreign exchange to grain, we can probably withstand it.
There was an impact over there..."
