Reborn Financial Overlord

Bin Zhongtai Nan couldn't help laughing.

It's not that he looks down on this former subordinate, in fact, there are not many things that can be regarded as big business by him.

You must know that the total size of Sumitomo Corporation’s financial asset positions in London has reached 5.00% of the global trading volume, but this is only the size of financial assets. In fact, Sumitomo Group is one of the shareholders in many mining companies around the world .It controls the No. [-] mine of Qingling Copper Mine in Peru, Morency Copper Mine Company, the largest open-pit copper mine in the United States, Grasberg Copper Mine controlled by Freeport, Chuquicamata and Escondida in Chile, and the latter is the world's largest copper mining company.

Yangxie Manufacturing is the predecessor of Daiichi Industry Co., Ltd. Although it has expanded rapidly in the past year or so after the injection of new capital, the main orders are still some orders from Kawasaki and Osaka Metal Works. In the first half of this year, Daiichi Industry Co., Ltd. will start from The raw materials purchased by Sumitomo are only 2000 million US dollars.

As the largest trader of Sumitomo Corporation, Binzhong Tainan does not think that an outsourcing company can cooperate with him in any big business.

However, Hamanaka Yasuan didn't mean to be sarcastic, Okamoto Jun'an was considered his junior, if he could support him, he would not hesitate to take a chance.

Picking up the tea on the table and tasting it, Hamanaka Tainan changed a comfortable posture and asked, "Oh. Is it your boss Koji Yasuhiro who wants to see me?"

"No. It's Mr. Akiyama Kennan, the boss of my boss, Mr. An Hui."

Bin Zhongtai was taken aback while holding the phone. As the chief trader of non-ferrous metals at Sumitomo Commercial, he knew or knew more or less famous people in Japan.

But he had never heard of this kind of Qiushan Jiannan.

"Why does he want to see me?"

"Mr. An Hui told me that Mr. Akiyama wants to discuss with you the share of copper futures in the London market. By the way, Mr. Akiyama is in London now."

Nani?

All cats and dogs want to come and discuss with me the share of futures copper!

Binzhong Tainan couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.

"Okamoto-kun, for your sake, I can give this Akiyama Kennan 15 minutes. What do you think?"

"Thank you so much sir!"

"Oh. It's okay. The weather in China should be pretty good right now."

"Yes. The sun is very strong, and the temperature is still very high. Compared with London, it is still more comfortable in China."

"..."

Canary Wharf is not too far from the financial district. Modern buildings and historical architectural styles can be seen everywhere along the way. These buildings are intertwined and accompanied by the crowds coming and going on the street, presenting a unique style. Charm.

As the car drove steadily, Shen Jiannan put down the information sent by the intelligence department, and a faint light flickered in his dark eyes.

In 1970, Hamanaka Yasuo joined Sumitomo Corporation at the age of 22.

By the end of the 70s, Hamanaka Yasuo went to the London Metal Exchange to participate in metal futures trading. At that time, he mainly traded tin and nickel futures contracts.

At the beginning, he was not famous, just an ordinary employee.But in just a few years, Binzhong Tainan began to show his talent in trading.

In 983, his trading volume on London copper reached 5.00 tons per year.In the early years, he already had a place among the major international copper futures companies, and it was at this time that "Mr. [-]%" and "Hammer" were called out.

This is extremely unusual.

The risks in the financial market are so high that they are no different from the battlefield, and on the battlefield, anyone who survives and advances is a well-deserved genius.

Not everyone is the lucky guy like Washington, the founding father of the United States. Every time he is about to die, his superior will die on the battlefield, and he will become the biggest winner by killing everyone.

It is obvious that Hamanaka Tainan is not only relying on luck to get to where he is today. This Mr. Hammer has been able to maintain his position in Sumitomo for 20 years, and his strength is evident.

You know, Japanese trading houses usually adjust their traders every two to three years.

"why you?"

Chapter 167 The Toxic Temptation

In the minister's office, Binzhong Tainan hung up the call from the front desk, and a trace of doubt and incomprehension flashed in his eyes.

Who is Shen Jiannan?

In the British financial circles and speculative industries, there is really no one who does not know.It broke the Finnish mark, killed the Italian lira, broke the pound and robbed the Bank of England.The oriental face that hangs in the newspapers every day, in the hearts of the entire European speculators, just didn't help him put another horn on his head.

Binzhong Tainan never imagined that Akiyama Jiannan is Shen Jiannan who has been flourishing in the financial market recently.

How could such an international speculator come to Sumitomo?

Two minutes later, full of doubts and doubts, Binzhong Yasuan got up and went to the company's reception department. When he saw Shen Jiannan's face, he was even more confused.

As the front desk said, it was indeed Shen Jiannan.

In newspapers and on TV, Binzhong Yasuan no longer remembers how many times he has seen that face in newspapers and TV, and even encountered it once when he happened to be on business in Canary Wharf.

After all, he was the chief trader of Sumitomo Corporation. After being shocked, Hamanaka Tainan greeted Shen Jiannan calmly with unique Japanese etiquette.

Japan is a very xenophobic country, especially after they have determined their own culture and thinking, they are not willing to integrate into any other culture, even if they are abroad, the real Japanese will try to maintain the Japanese way of life .

The reception room of Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. is obviously very Japanese.

No dust can be seen on the wooden floor, and the only furniture in the huge space is a wooden tea table and two futons, and nothing else can be seen.

Very monotonous and poorly furnished.

Scanning everything in the room, Shen Jiannan's eyes flashed a rare look of appreciation.

In the speculative business, every day, we are floating in unimaginable wealth, thinking about heaven and hell, and repeatedly baptizing back and forth. Those who can survive are either extremely crazy and have no taboos about sensuality; or they are indifferent to human nature and lack The awe of life; or, defiantly, looking down on all living beings.

But judging from the layout of the office to the reception room and the information in the intelligence, Hamanaka Yasuo went to another extreme.

self-discipline.

Self-discipline is almost mechanical, almost to the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

For 20 years, this kind of person's will is so firm that it is almost impossible to find his weakness.

If he hadn't known Binzhong Tainan, no one would have thought that with Binzhong Tainan's current status, he would continue to maintain this self-disciplined living habit.

After some simple greetings, the two parties sat cross-legged on the tatami in the reception room, and the secretary who had been waiting for a long time also knelt on one side and made tea.

The light green tea is full of enthusiasm, and amidst the smoke and dust, a light and elegant fragrance spreads over the surface.

While drinking the tea, Shen Jiannan started talking as if this was his home field.

"Is Binzhong-kun surprised?"

This is a topic that makes people in a passive state when answering, but Yasuo Hamaka has no choice but to answer. Shen Jiannan's aura is too strong. He has only felt that kind of aura from the current president of Sumitomo, Fu Qiushui. .

"It's really surprising. I really didn't expect it to be Shen Jun. I don't know if your Excellency is here, what advice do you have?"

Holding the teacup, Hamanaka Tainan replied several times in a reserved manner without being rude.

Very clever rhetorical question.

Not only regained control of the home court, but also not abrupt.

However, Shen Jiannan didn't take it seriously. If Sumitomo cooperates, then cooperate once. If not, then die.

"I can't give advice. The European economic recession is the general trend, and the North American market is still in the recovery cycle. I think Binaka-kun is also very clear about the situation in Japan. The economic conditions of major markets around the world are very bad, and the demand for mineral resources is bound to It will decline further. I don’t know if Sumitomo is interested in taking advantage of this to gain more market share.”

"..."

Binzhong Tainan's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Shen Jiannan was thinking about these things not long ago.

European currencies are in turmoil, and capital has been fleeing. I am afraid that for a long time, the European economy will not improve. The same is true for Japan. The local economy has been hit hard, and even a consortium like Sumitomo cannot expand the scale of overseas investment.

It is also due to these comprehensive reasons that the international copper price has been sluggish recently. In just one month, the copper price fell from US$540 per dry ton to US$250.

A drop of more than ten percent.

This is undoubtedly not a good situation for Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd.

In order to hedge the loss on the spot, Hamanaka Tainan had to increase the size of the short position in the market to resist the loss caused by the decline in copper prices to the company.

But market hedging is not a long-term solution.

Hamanaka Tainan feels that if he can control more copper transactions, he can eat both ends. If the spot price is raised, the profits of the major copper companies controlled by the company will not be damaged, and then he will squeeze the short position in the futures market and establish a long position. , It is completely possible to make money with spot and futures.

However, there is this idea, that is, in the recent period, Hamanaka Tainan has never disclosed this idea to anyone, even the chairman of the group, Qiu Shuifu, does not know about it.

He really didn't understand why Shen Jiannan's eyes were so confident and his tone was so sure, as if he knew his purpose.

After all, he had experienced many murderous baptisms in the market. Although he was shocked in his heart, there was no abnormality on Binzhong Yasuan's face. He picked up the teacup and took a sip before taking Shen Jiannan's words lightly.

"I don't quite understand what Shen Jun means!"

"Oh. Don't Binzhong-kun think this is a good opportunity? For example, some copper companies with high production costs have unfortunately gone bankrupt due to the sharp drop in copper prices."

Binzhong Tainan is not a fool, how could he fail to understand what Shen Jiannan meant.

Not all copper companies know how to use futures and spot hedging in the financial market to avoid risks. If copper prices plummet, some small copper companies will inevitably go bankrupt.

And even risk hedging in the financial market has a certain degree. The trading volume of the financial market is placed there, but the global spot copper transaction is so huge. Once the market plummets and the registered warehouse receipts are not enough for delivery, it will force those large ones But copper companies with high production costs went bankrupt.

At that time, Sumitomo will be able to buy many bankrupt companies at a very low price to complete the industry reshuffle.

bang bang bang-

Hamanaka Tainan's heart beat wildly involuntarily.

Even though he knew that a guy like Shen Jiannan would never be kind enough to give Sumitomo any advice, and this temptation might even be poisonous.

"Shen Jun is from Huaxia!"

,

Chapter 168 The Defeated Country (End of this volume)

Holding a teacup, Hamanaka Yasuan seemed to ask casually.

His tone was very flat, as if he had said something unintentionally, but the affirmation in his tone really reflected his thoughts.

This is a question completely unrelated to the topic discussed earlier.

Obviously, Binzhong Tainan could see that Shen Jiannan was Chinese, not Japanese.

Very meticulous observation.

You know, many Chinese people can't tell the difference in appearance between Japanese and Chinese people.

The past relationship between the two countries is put there. During World War II, Sumitomo was one of the four major chaebols of the main combat faction. It can be said that he was the biggest supporter of the war of aggression. It is really intriguing to mention such a question at this time.

Shen Jiannan stopped drinking tea, and raised his eyebrows habitually, but in an instant, this guy showed a faint smile.

"Yes. But does Binaka-kun think this question is important?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen."

Realizing that Shen Jiannan's reaction was not too enthusiastic, Binzhong Tainan apologized very seriously.

"Okamoto-kun mentioned that you want to discuss a big business with me. I just want to confirm whether you represent First International Capital or the Huaxia government."

"What do you think?"

"..."

With his head lowered, Hamanaka Tainan's eyes flickered.

There was no flaw in the impeccable answer, and no useful information could be obtained whether it was words or tone.

After a while, Binzhong Tainan raised his head and met Shen Jiannan's eyes.

"Shen Jun. I have admired Huaxia for a long time. I am also very willing to cooperate with Huaxia, but I am more worried about cooperating with polar bears. I hope you can understand."

There is no doubt that this is a very targeted and offensive answer.

No matter how Shen Jiannan answered, Binzhong Tainan would get the answer he wanted to know.

The most important thing is that his words are sincere and there is no falsehood. Compared with the Kanoski and Sidorov families behind Shen Jiannan, Huaxia is undoubtedly more credible and reliable.

Regarding this, Shen Jiannan only slightly raised his eyelids.

"I fully understand Mr. Binzhong's concerns, but I can tell you for sure that Capital One is just a legal multinational investment company."

"Thank you Shen Jun for clarifying the confusion."

"..."

"..."

An hour later, Hamanaka Yasuo and Kosaka Masao stood downstairs of the Sumitomo Corporation building, slightly bent over, watching one luxury car after another going away, and when the back of the car was only left, the two gradually straightened their backs.
