On April 2002, 4, the office building of the Ministry of Commerce.

"Hello, Director Ma." Zhao An came to the office on time, showing his sincerity.

"Sit down, there must be nothing good for you to come here. Some time ago, you made such a big move in Liancheng that many people were dissatisfied with you, and some even reported to the Securities Regulatory Commission, hoping to investigate whether you manipulated the market. It's spreading inside the system. Can't you keep a low profile?"

Director Ma seemed to be reprimanding Zhao An, but Zhao An did not panic at all.

If the China Securities Regulatory Commission really wants to investigate him, no matter how good the relationship between Director Ma and him is, it is impossible to discuss this matter publicly in the office.

In all likelihood, this matter has been suppressed by Director Ma and other officials. Mentioning this matter at this time is not only a reminder to Zhao An, but also a favor for Zhao An.

So Zhao An said gratefully:

"Thanks to Director Ma Mingjian, all my operations have not violated any regulations."

"Tell me, what's the matter with me."

Passed a teacup to Zhao An. Director Ma is also a tea lover, otherwise he would not have such a good relationship with Director Sun of the Beijing Quality Supervision Bureau.

"Director Ma, in September this year, can the Ministry of Commerce organize domestic enterprises to purchase soybeans from the lighthouse country again? It is best to participate in the negotiations in the name of the government, and not let the lighthouse country persuade companies one by one."

Zhao An went straight to the point and expressed his wish.

"Tell me what you think."

Director Ma frowned. This matter was not easy, and he didn't dare to agree easily.

If once the Ministry of Commerce takes the lead, the whole matter will take on the nature of the country again. Director Ma and even the Ministry of Commerce are unwilling to see such a result.

"This year, the Lighthouse Country will definitely raise prices to sell soybeans to us. If domestic companies go to the Lighthouse Country alone, they will be in an extremely disadvantaged position. At that time, the price will be determined by the Lighthouse Country."

"You can't say that. The Beacon Country will not back down because of our presence. On the contrary, our presence means that Huaxia must have soybeans from the Beacon Country. Instead, they may wait for an opportunity to raise prices."

Things in the market are always intertwined.Sitting in a high position, Director Ma must allow himself to think more long-term.

"It is to make them think that we must be a lighthouse country, so they will boldly raise prices, so that we can occupy the moral high ground internationally."

"But what's the use of occupying the highlands? We always have to buy soybeans from the lighthouse country. Now the domestic agricultural market is in the process of transformation. Once the supply of soybeans is not available, or there is too much price fluctuation, the loss is incalculable."

Director Ma frankly stated the country's intention to trade short-term for long-term, and trade agriculture for manufacturing.

Why didn't Zhao An know this?

The gap in production technology and production mode between the two countries determines that China's production system will inevitably be impacted by opening up trade barriers.

There is no way to do this. If you lag behind, you will be beaten.This principle is universal.

Fortunately, Zhao An had already made preparations. He took out a thick document from his briefcase, handed it to Director Ma, and said:

"This is a backup plan I conceived, which can greatly prevent the domestic market from being manipulated by the lighthouse country."

Knowing that Zhao An is not a big talker and has done a lot of practical things in the past few years, Director Ma took the document carefully and his face became more and more serious.

"Zhao An! You've gone too far!"

Even when he learned that Zhao An had swept nearly one billion Huaxia coins in the futures market and caused market shocks, he had never been so serious. Zhao An's behavior this time was a little bit beyond his authority.

"Director Ma, soybeans are not a market that the state wants to control. Aren't the higher authorities also releasing control? Besides, other companies will definitely imitate Food Safety's approach, and by then the entire market will not be dominated by Food Safety alone."

Thinking of the plan in the document, Director Ma felt that his head was getting dizzy, and he said:

"But this is an important field after all, if there is a need..."

Director Ma sighed heavily when he said the last few words, but Zhao An had already understood what Director Ma meant, and said without hesitation:

"Anytime, anywhere, willing to hand over to the country."

"Are you really willing?"

At first, I thought that Zhao An was somewhat reluctant, but Zhao An's expression at this time told Director Ma that what Zhao An said at this time was from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that this kid really has a pure heart.No wonder Lao Sun is willing to make so many connections behind his back for this kid.

"Okay, I will organize this matter. But the premise is that in August, I must see certain results. If there is not enough guarantee, the government will definitely not rashly come forward."

"Thank you, Director Ma."

Zhao An knew that it was not easy for the government to do this.One of the rules of international politics is-teachers are famous.Countries clamp down on each other, and no matter what they do, they need a proper reason.

2002. 8, 27

"Director Ma, I have already sent you all the relevant materials. I am still abroad, so I have no way to personally send these materials to you."

A world away, Zhao An reported to Director Ma his achievements in the past few months.

Looking at the thick information, Director Ma was also surprised. He didn't expect Zhao An to be able to do this.After a rough calculation, the scale and investment of the entire industry may be quite astonishing.

Regarding Zhao An's plan to make another fortune in the futures market of the Lighthouse Country, Director Ma had already known about it, so he asked worriedly:

"You've spent so much money now, are you sure about your future plans?"

"Don't worry about the Horse Bureau. I have also done some futures operations here, and signed a VAM agreement with a local company [1]. The impact is not particularly big."

"Your kid is becoming more and more proficient in using financial means. If it wasn't for the fact that the development of food safety has not slowed down at all, I thought you would give up business and go into finance."

"Don't make fun of me at the horse bureau. After this matter is completed, I will still concentrate on food safety. But there is still one thing that needs to be discussed with the horse bureau." Zhao An changed his tone and continued:

"No matter what you do, the price of soybeans will rise a lot this year. Do you need to file this matter with the relevant departments?"

"I thought you caused me some trouble again. It turned out to be this. We are the relevant department. Who do you need to file for? Don't worry, we are not stupid. We know that this is an unavoidable consequence, and we are not Things that you can control will not be settled with you."

"Then trouble Director Ma."

After verifying the authenticity of the information, Director Ma immediately organized domestic enterprises that needed to import soybeans, and once again formed a delegation to the Lighthouse Country to negotiate on soybean imports.

April 10

"Xiao Zhao, we will start the second meeting with the three major grain merchants tomorrow. Then you can act according to your plan."

"Horse Bureau, I really trouble you."

To be able to know the news one day in advance, Zhao An could have made too much preparation in advance.

"Don't thank me. The attitude of the three major grain merchants is too stubborn. They have determined our demand for their soybeans. And some companies have already contacted the three major grain merchants privately and started to import soybeans in small batches. As long as they can occupy the domestic market , nothing else is considered. Hey..."

The faint sigh can be heard clearly on the phone, it's indisputable.

Director Ma sometimes thinks that if there are more businessmen like Zhao An in the market, everything will be much easier.

But this is just imagination, Ma Ju knows how rare Zhao An is, let alone getting to Zhao An's step.

"I will continue to raise soybean prices tomorrow. Those companies that are willing to obey the unified arrangement can tell them to wait."

"Don't worry, I won't let them leak the news, those companies can be trusted."

The companies that can be trusted by Director Ma are naturally those companies with the country prefix, and the pace will definitely be consistent with the country

Although Director Ma didn't say anything clearly, Zhao An could fully guess what happened recently.

In the process of all enterprises jointly negotiating with the three major grain merchants, there will definitely be people who will negotiate privately with the three major grain merchants.

Some entrepreneurs don't care how high the final cost is, because the price of soybeans in China is definitely determined by the lighthouse country.In the case that everyone has the same supply, they can always transfer the cost of soybeans to consumers in the end.

In this case, choose to communicate with the three major grain merchants in private, obtain the supply of soybeans first by selling your teammates, and even lower some prices, so that you can seize the market first.

Perhaps this is the worst choice for the collective, but it is the best choice for these companies.

As can be expected, more and more companies will succumb to the pressure of the three major grain merchants.

Zhao An is very familiar with the method used by the Lighthouse Country. When Zhao An split up domestic investors, he used the same method.

Regarding the choices of these companies, Zhao An cannot make a judgment. The only thing he can do is to try his best to make those companies that are still following the rules not let down.

April 10

The news of the breakdown of the negotiations between the two countries spread, a large number of investors poured into the futures market, and soybean prices began to rise rapidly.

April 10

The price of soybean futures reached 700 beacon coins, and the second batch of futures contracts purchased by Zhao An completed the delivery.Zhao An earned more than 3 million US dollars.

However, the price of soybeans was still rising crazily. Without any hesitation, Zhao An directly put all his funds into the market.Open a position at a price that ordinary people understand.
