On the other hand, after aggregating multiple pieces of information, a special domestic economic organization also made predictions about the current situation. The discussion meeting was long and boring, but in the end, this group of the country's top economists and entrepreneurs A unified judgment was reached, that is:

The U.S. will definitely take advantage of the lack of domestic production capacity of raw lithium and raise the price of raw lithium based on the wrong information they have received, thereby indirectly maintaining international oil prices.

Based on this judgment, this group of people made several decisions, and these decisions were passed to their subordinate executive departments at a very short speed.

A battle for financial and economic markets will soon begin again.

That afternoon, in the International Commodity Exchange located in Shanghai, a long-term locked trading room welcomed a strange yet familiar guest.

He is unfamiliar because he has never appeared in this exchange, and familiar because he is very similar to the previous owners of this trading room in terms of personal temperament and work style.

Silent, cold and decisive, yet giving people a sense of peace and confidence.

The door of the trading room opened, and the mysterious man reached out and touched the tabletop. After confirming that it was covered with thick dust, he nodded with satisfaction.

This is his principle. He does not allow anyone except him to enter the trading room, not even for cleaning.

Because what he is going to do in this trading room is an operation that is very likely to change the trend of the entire world economy.

The man pressed the power button, and the fan of the computer host began to buzz. Some of the dust on the desktop was blown away, and then the computer screens covering the entire wall began to light up one by one.

He took out the cipher hidden in his arms, checked the accounts one by one, and began to log in one by one those accounts that would shock the world if they were made public.

The interface unfolds layer by layer, just like the economic context of this world, appearing like a scroll in front of the man.

He frowned as he looked at the dense data on the screen.

The lit cigarette burned between his fingers, and the smoke filled the air. Then the ashes fell on the table, blending with the dust.

After a long time, the man finally threw away the burned cigarette butt in his hand and began to wipe the table with the rag he had prepared.

This task took him nearly half an hour, but after everything was cleaned up, the time was just right.

His hands were tapping the keyboard quickly, and a series of instructions were issued from his hands.

All are green orders, all are futures sales.

Crude oil futures are sold, raw material lithium futures are sold, shale oil and derivatives futures are sold, and even large tanker leasing contracts are sold.

This is a huge amount of contract lock-in regardless of cost. These contracts are automatically inherited into the system according to his time plan. In the following two weeks, the system will split these contracts into thousands or even tens of thousands through the overall account. into a small account, and then use these accounts to truly realize futures contracts without leaving any trace.

After doing all this, he immediately logged out of the system, then turned around and went out, running to the next location.

His target is Qianhai Securities, where he will complete the purchase of some company stocks.

——

In other words, in fact, what he wants to implement is a hostile takeover of three companies.

Hostile takeovers conducted through the secondary market regardless of cost.

The reason is simple. Among the world's top silicon material manufacturers, 7 of the top ten belong to China.

What about the other three?

The answer is obvious.

Under his hand, these three companies will soon belong to China.

He is not worried about not being able to buy the stocks of these companies, because this part of the work has already been done by others.

All he had to do was move his fingers.

A country thousands of miles away.

In the executive office of Wacker Company, a young Asian-faced man looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him with a smile.

"Mr. Backhouse, as we have communicated before, we will soon launch an acquisition plan for your company - through the secondary market."

"You also know that this is our helpless move. If we operate through the primary market, the process required is too long and the action is too slow, and it may be obstructed by certain forces that you and I are well aware of. .”

"We don't want to take the risk that it's inconsistent with the way we've always worked."

"So, here I want to confirm with you again, have you made the decision to sell the stocks you hold on the secondary market, and has your decision been approved by the company's board of directors?"

The white man opposite nodded and replied:

"Mr. Lin, you don't have to worry about this. I have already applied to sell 5% of the stocks in my name. And I don't think the board of directors will have any objections - those old guys are worse than me. Hurry?"

"Hahahaha, your understanding of them is indeed better than mine. Before this, I was worried about the pressure from within. I didn't expect that such pressure didn't exist at all."

Upon hearing this, Backhouse sighed, and then said with some emotion:

"Actually, this has been a doomed outcome for a long time, we know it."

"In the past few years, China's silicon industry has developed too fast. We have been squeezed to the point where we have almost no living space, and we are far behind them in terms of high-end silicon raw materials and finished products."

"If we didn't still have some high-quality silicon ore in our hands, we might not be able to survive long ago."

"So, it is a very wise choice to sell our shares in time. Rather than letting our industry fall into the hands of China and further expand their monopoly advantage, it is better to sell it to you directly."

"At least, in your hands, if we want to use silicon raw materials in the future, we can buy them as we please. If we give them to them, we may repeat the mistakes we made with rare earths."

Hearing this, the young man named Lin smiled slightly and then replied:

"Mr. Backhouse, you can rest assured about this. We guarantee that if you or your country have demand in the future, we will give priority to supply - at a very fair price."

"I believe you will. You Malays are all good businessmen, not that dragon that devours everything."

"Of course, we are not. Then, our cooperation is concluded, and we will start the stock acquisition later. You can pay attention to it."

"And lastly, in order to express our sincerity, we will pay some premium on the originally agreed transaction price. You know, the secondary market is not so easy to control, and it is normal for the price to rise a little. I think, this will not It attracted the attention of the ABC department, didn’t it?”

Backhouse smiled knowingly. The ABC department the other party mentioned was the legendary anti-commercial bribery department, and through such clever operations, they could indeed avoid their scrutiny to a large extent.

In this way, my pension will be larger again.

Maybe, you can buy a new yacht?

He stood up with a smile on his face and sent the man named Lin out of the door.

However, Backhouse did not notice that after the man named Lin turned around, the original sincere smile on his face immediately turned into ridicule.

That's right, selling to China is better than selling to us.

We're all a family anyway, it doesn't matter.

Yes, we will definitely give you priority in supplying goods, and we will also give you a very, very fair price.

It's just that this so-called justice is determined by us.

Good businessmen, of course, that’s what we are.

Of course we are not some giant dragon that devours everything. How is this possible?

It's just a white, tender, harmless rabbit.

What bad intentions could this little rabbit have?

The traditional Chinese characters were created by Qidian, not me, and I don’t know what’s going on.
