Investment Life

That night, Wang Juan felt that she had said a lot and listened to a lot. It was the first time in her life that someone asked her what she thought instead of simply telling her what to do in her 30-plus years of life.This kind of pressure from self-thinking was like a mountain, which made her almost out of breath, and her mind was full of chaos, which slightly distorted the originally clear world.

But the fear from the bottom of his heart was slowly dissipating. The son was sitting so close to him, holding her hand firmly, his voice calm and gentle, unhurried, as if there was nothing in the world. The same things that can stump him.After so many years, Wang Juan has always known that her son can make money and make a lot of money, but deep down in her heart, she still can't get rid of his thin and small appearance when he was young. With a net worth of tens of millions, he is just a child who needs adults to worry about.

Today, however, this thinking changed quietly, and Wang Juan suddenly discovered that her son had grown into a towering tree that could shelter the couple from wind and rain.He knows so much, is so smart, and he and his husband combined may not be as capable as him.This cognition is like a ray of light in the chaos, slowly illuminating her mind, pride, sadness, bitterness and bewilderment... All kinds of emotions are intertwined in the bottom of her heart. In fact, she is not ready yet, but her son is not knowing Such a drastic transformation has taken place in their place, and it has to pull them down very different paths together.

That night, the mother and son had been chatting for a long time, and they really had a long talk. It wasn't until Chen Jianhua returned drunk that Wang Juan returned her attention to her husband.After finally moving her husband, who was as drunk as a dead pig, to the bed, listening to his loud snoring, Wang Juan let out a long sigh of relief.She still didn't get the answer she wanted, but she quietly made a decision deep in her heart.No matter how much these things give her a headache, she has to think hard, even if she can't share her son's worries, she must not hold him back.

After a day of exhaustion, she fell asleep with great peace of mind.

The next day, the two overslept again, and after waking up, they stared blankly for a while. Wang Juan pushed her husband, "It's 7:[-], are you still at work?"

"What... what..." Chen Jianhua groaned, and the stench of wine immediately came to his face.

Wang Juan rolled her eyes and got up from the bed by herself, "Anyway, I'm not going today, you can figure it out."

The dizziness and nausea after drunkenness are still reverberating in the body, but the word "go to work" still wakes up Chen Jianhua. Yesterday, he went to drink with the directors of the branch factory. I don't know what brand of liquor it is, but compared to Wuliangye But it's far worse, his head hurts from drinking so much, but he still has to go to work...

Struggling to get up from the bed, Chen Jianhua suddenly froze, "What did you say just now? You didn't go to work? What's going on..."

"It's not because of Director Song." The toilet is in the master bedroom suite, and Wang Juan has already turned on the faucet, and said while washing her face, "If you want me to work as an accountant in the office, how can I do that, I don't want to go. "

"You...you..." Chen Jianhua didn't know what to say, "They promoted you, why are you so ignorant?!"

"I don't know what to do." Throwing the towel into the sink, Wang Juan raised her brows, "You know! Yesterday I drank with someone until midnight, and I vomited all over the room. I haven't seen you drunk in the 20 years since I married you. I have accomplished that virtue! Master Xiao Song has come to help, what a shame!"

Chen Jianhua blushed, and rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Yesterday, the leaders of our branch factory treated guests. There were 7 or 8 people there. I... I can't push it away..."

"Hmph." Wang Juan snorted coldly, "Could they be all leaders, just you as a soldier? Is there someone else who wants to give you an official position?"

Chen Jianhua opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything at all. At this moment, his brain finally came back to count.That's right, I and my wife are not in the same branch factory, so why are the leaders on both sides rushing to be promoted?There are no big names in his family, so how could he suddenly become a favorite...

After all, they are a couple who have shared the same bed for 20 years. Wang Juan saw Chen Jianhua's confusion at a glance, and sighed softly. She walked up to her husband and handed him a towel, "And our eldest brother-in-law, I also heard from my elder sister yesterday that she has been reinstated as an official, and the whole factory has notified her of her praise, look, what a big change this is."

Chen Jianhua's eyes were staring straight. He couldn't reach out to pick up the towel for a long time, and he couldn't stop muttering, "Why, it was clear that two days ago..."

Putting the towel into her husband's hand, Wang Juan sat back on the bed, "I don't know, it's all due to our son..."

Son... Chen Jianhua bounced off the bed in a jerk, "Doudou gave someone money?! What does he want to do? Is he offering bribes?!"

Looking at her husband whose face turned livid in an instant, Wang Juan sighed softly, "Jianhua, sit down first..."

"Can you still sit still?!" Hearing his wife's nonchalant tone, Chen Jianhua's face became even more ugly, "Even if our family is rich, we can't do such nonsense! Isn't this being rich and unkind?! We The family is all decent workers, how can they go through such a crooked door..."

"Chen Jianhua! You don't even have to think about it!" A rather unexpected roar stunned Chen Jianhua. Wang Juan stretched out her hand and pulled her husband back onto the mattress. "What's the benefit of stuffing money to get us promoted?! Even if I'm an accountant and you are a director, it's only 80 yuan a year. Doudou sends more than this amount in a month!"

Hearing this, Chen Jianhua's anger was suddenly extinguished.Of course he understands what he wants to do by offering and accepting bribes, but he has never heard of spending a lot of money to buy a loss. Compared with his son's wealth, it is really unnecessary to go to the factory to get this set now...

"Then, what's going on..." The anger subsided, and the rest became full of confusion. Chen Jianhua grabbed the towel in his hand, puzzled.

Wang Juan sighed again, "Yesterday, Doudou told me that he didn't let these people make trouble, it was because others were rushing to curry favor with him, so they started to attack us."

These words made Chen Jianhua's eyes widen in disbelief, "Juanzi, are you crazy? Isn't our son just a businessman, how can we let the factory leaders curry favor with him? The annual sales of the factory are hundreds of millions, he How much money do you have?"

"I-I don't know what to say, but I've made up my mind. Let's ask my brother-in-law today! Didn't he go to toast with Doudou that day? My brother-in-law is much more sensible than the two of us!"

Because of empathy, Wang Juan really understands her husband's current mentality, and wants to convince him that her brother-in-law, the company commander, is definitely more useful than the rest of the family, and may even be more useful than her son himself said.Why didn't she want to hear what her brother-in-law thought?

"But what about the unit..." Hearing his wife's suggestion, Chen Jianhua was not indifferent, but when he thought about his work, he frowned again. "You can't always ask for leave, the factory manager and the others still..."

"Okay, Jianhua, it's not that you don't know the virtues of the leaders in the factory. They are all worthless. If it's like what your son said, we have to hold on first, and we can't hold him back. ..."

Ah... Chen Jianhua opened his mouth. He had never thought about it in this direction. When he was drunk by the leaders yesterday, they praised him back and forth. Running out, let him, the little squad leader, be flattered, who doesn't want to be appreciated by the leader?But today, when I heard my wife's words, my heart felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured into my heart. Couldn't there be something really wrong with this sudden compliment?

Sitting on the bed, his expression changed for a long time, Chen Jianhua finally let out a long sigh, "If you ask for leave, please ask for it, let's go to my brother-in-law and ask about it..."

Unaware of his parents' plans, Chen Yuanming still woke up very early that day, and left the house after 6 o'clock, rushing to the provincial capital by car.In the past two days, a vice president of the investment group was attending a meeting in the province. Hearing that Yuan Yang intended to contact the investment group, he immediately made an appointment to meet. The two talked on the phone several times, and finally arranged to meet at the headquarters of the investment group in the provincial capital. .

Now that the highways in the city and the provincial capital have just been built, Xiao Song has always driven fast and steadily, and it took only two and a half hours to reach the destination. The building of the investment group was considered magnificent in the 2s. Chen Yuanming didn't delay downstairs, and took the elevator directly to the general manager's office led by his special assistant. As soon as he entered, he saw Mr. Ma's friendly smiling face.

"Chen Dong, I didn't expect you to return to your hometown recently. It's all because my brother is too busy with meetings these two days. Maybe I have to pay a visit..."

"Director Ma is too polite." Chen Yuanming took President Ma's hand and said with a smile, "I often hear about your deeds at Director Sun's place. It is my honor to meet you today."

"Haha~~ What kind of director are they called? They are all from the company, so don't be so alien."

The investment group can also be regarded as a serious state-owned holding company. Every person at the helm is a figure who can be ranked high in the CPPCC. Even this President Ma also holds the title of a prefecture-level cadre, and he can sit on an equal footing with ordinary mayors. In front of Chen Yuanming, he had no interest in acting like an official.

Sitting on the sofa with a smile, Mr. Ma didn't mention Yuanyang's actions in the city first, but instead led the conversation to metal futures, "In the first half of the year, Guoxing really made great achievements repeatedly, which made our investment group lose money." In terms of color, in the futures market alone, the sharp drop in aluminum prices has caused considerable losses to mines in Australia.”

This is about the aluminum mines that the investment group bought shares in Australia in the 80s. They made a lot of money by relying on the appreciation of aluminum prices. When the prices fell this year, they would naturally suffer losses.

Chen Yuanming smiled, "According to Mr. Ma, the group still wants to increase the price of aluminum?"

Mr. Ma raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mines like ours are just looking forward to the price increase of materials. Why, what did you hear?"

"I can't talk about rumors, it's just speculation." Chen Yuanming took a sip from his teacup, "It is estimated that the aluminum price will shrink in the past few years, and we have to watch the rise and fall curve of the copper market. Let me say this It is better to accumulate some strength during the period, and wait until the big drop comes to start new mines.”

"The same operation method as the copper mine?" Mr. Ma frowned slightly. "Recently, Mexico and Peru are having heated discussions. It shouldn't be a problem to buy shares. It depends on what price you buy. Brother Chen, what do you think?" What? When is the low point?"

"It won't be beyond this time next year." Chen Yuanming answered firmly, "The current international situation is too complicated, and the copper futures may not be moved for a while, but it won't be long. Isn't it just for shearing sheep? Not stupid."

"Oh, what a headache. Only those of us who run international trade know the complexity of it. How can we make money in China?"

Faced with Mr. Ma's meaningful emotion, Chen Yuanming smiled, "After all, domestic money is small money. Even if you set up a factory in China, you should focus on the international market. In this regard, investment groups are also considered It’s the mainstay, no, it’s only after I got home that I found out that the mining machinery factories in the city have been bought by you, and you’ve earned a lot of foreign exchange from exports in the past two years, right?”

"Haha, I made Brother Chen laugh. It is true that some factories and mines cannot be rescued. Since the country has given the quota, of course we should choose the one that is easy to save. We should use more of the things we produce, and then sell them to the third world. There is no comparison to Feiyan." Mr. Ma laughed, and it is possible to cry with other bosses that foreign business is difficult, but it would be ridiculous to talk to Chen Yuanming, a veteran of foreign money.I don't know how this person's brains and courage are so long. He dared to go abroad at a young age and made a huge fortune. Not to mention how coveted the senior executives of the investment group are, it's a pity that he fell into the hands of Guoxing... …

In fact, as a hunter who went abroad to hunt for gold, Guoxing’s movements have always been the focus of attention of the investment group. It is no secret to the senior management of the investment group what this overly young Chen Dong represents in Guoxing.Therefore, when Chen Yuanming started the construction of his hometown, a lot of attention was paid to him.This time, the province set up a block against Yuanyang, and some people behind the scenes have the intention, but it will not be long before Yuanyang is blocked in terms of policy. After all, the capital and strength are there, and it is nothing more than to see what can be obtained from Yuanyang. There are so many benefits.

Who would have thought that Chen Yuanming would find the investment group directly, which is somewhat surprising.Although Yuanyang, Feiyan and Guoxing are not good enough in front of the investment group, but they can accumulate huge wealth in such a short period of time, and they have layers of relationship networks. A character that people ignore.So the news came from above, take it seriously, and if there is a possibility of cooperation, you don't have to be polite, let's make a good relationship.

With the instructions above, Mr. Ma will not be a villain, and now he is just testing Chen Yuanming's attitude.From the opening few words, it can be seen that Mr. Chen expressed good intentions. If what he said is true, the investment group may have to think about the work plan for the coming year.

Facing Mr. Ma's compliment, Chen Yuanming just smiled slightly, "But my brother came this time, partly because of this mining machinery factory. This time I came back for the preparation of the mine, and naturally large equipment is indispensable. Although Yuanyang bought some high-end Sophisticated equipment, but most of it is used in daily use, so I thought, can we also come to an agreement with your group?"

"Oh?" Mr. Ma cheered up, "Which agreement is it? Equipment purchase? Product maintenance?"

"Neither of them." Chen Yuanming smiled, "If possible, I would prefer cooperation and complementarity at the industrial level."

Mr. Ma is a bit puzzled by what he said. Whether it is an investment group or Yuanyang Fund, they are actually playing with finance. The industrial level is just a means for them to invest in value preservation. At the same time, the investment group also serves the country’s macro economy. Just like investing in a mining machinery factory, it is really a task from above. Not only can these large factories and mines in the country not fail, but they must be saved as much as possible to let them glow with new life.

But investment groups are not real industrial entities after all. What they need is to connect the companies under their command, or to invest in and acquire industries that are clearly profitable, not to be firefighters rushing to the scene.On the other hand, Yuanyang's investment in molybdenum mines makes people a little confused.Now the price of molybdenum is still the price of cabbage, even if the country recently has the idea of ​​​​emphasizing the rare earth industry, molybdenum ore is not yet in the scope of protection, it is just an additive for the steelmaking industry.

Yuanyang's vigorous investment in molybdenum mines, in the eyes of many people, is just an investment that adapts to local conditions and gives back to society, rather than a real large profit.But today I came to the door specifically, and brought it up seriously, the nature of this is different...

Seeing Mr. Ma's expression, Chen Yuanming smiled slightly, "Rare metals are called rare for a reason. Japan can be regarded as the largest buyer of molybdenum mines, and its annual imports account for 40% of China's exports. As mentioned above, molybdenum consumption in the United States has also increased year-on-year in the past two years. What caused the sharp increase in molybdenum consumption in Japan and the United States? It will not be used in a corner of the alloy industry. The relationship between Yuanyang and Tiger Fund was not bad in the past two years They had already started to invest in the metal palladium industry when they started to invest in the metal palladium industry, and there is a trend of price increase this year, so what about changes in the price of molybdenum? I don’t think it will be too far away.”

"However," Chen Yuanming's tone became more serious when the topic changed, "The mining industry is the lowest-end raw material industry after all, even if it can make money, it is not a long-term solution. If possible, I still hope to get involved in the field of deep processing and do it myself. Digest these minerals. It’s not that there are no such supporting industries in the city, but it’s a pity that all of them are large state-owned enterprises. Even if Yuanyang has money, it may be difficult to take them for his own use...”

At this time, Mr. Ma had already heard some tricks, and said in a deep voice, "You mean, you want to borrow the name of our investment group?"

Chen Yuanming laughed, "Just like the mining machinery factory you merged and acquired, just reducing staff and increasing efficiency to change the enterprise system can make it glow with new vitality. I think it is not bad for many other enterprises. If you can acquire some large factories and mines in advance , and set up a molybdenum ore R&D and processing production line in it, I believe it will be a good move in the future. Now that various ministries and commissions are already redrawing the border crossings, doesn’t your group have any idea of ​​enclosing land in advance?”

If the above is still in general terms, then the last sentence really hit President Ma's weakness.Taking a deep look at Chen Yuanming, he leaned back on the sofa, "So, what do you want to do?"
