Chapter 99—Freedom and Shackles

In Singapore's futures market, a large number of Chinese capital has entered the resource sector, and it is still bullish. It is not just the fuel futures that they invested at the beginning of the week, including iron ore, copper, zinc, aluminum, coal, etc., which have also begun to push up the spot price.

Zhou Xiaohua can't sit still, the current market conditions have broken through the resistance and support points Zhou Ziye gave him. He has called Zhou Ziye a few times, urging Zhou Ziye to go to Singapore as soon as possible.

In fact, Zhou Ziye has been paying attention to the market situation in Singapore in Hong Kong, and he has his own judgment on the changes in the market.

. If this trend is followed, foreign financial institutions will soon be unable to sit still and will definitely attack Chinese capital.

Iron ore is monopolized by the three major miners. This price is not easy to operate, but crude oil and non-ferrous metals will definitely be the targets of foreign institutions. Except for the copper accident, the non-ferrous metals market is not large and the impact is not large enough, so the target will definitely focus on the cathode copper and fuel futures.

He considered it again and again, and decided to send out a signal, not to let those domestic institutions faint. But this is a dilemma. If you switch to shorting, then foreign institutions will be happy. They only need to increase the spot price in accordance with the original plan, which will hit the Chinese capital. But continue to do more, who knows where the trap will come from.

If he is alone, he can withdraw from the market at any time, but now, in addition to the few that they started, at least dozens of Chinese-funded institutions and enterprises have come to join in the fun. If we advance and retreat together, this signal is too obvious, and others have plenty of time to respond. Because this is not about depositing money in the bank, you can deposit and withdraw at any time, you always have to find someone to take over, of course, you can also ask for spot.

He told Zhou Xiaohua of these analyses, and Zhou Xiaohua was also a bit embarrassed about the current situation. But after he understood what he meant, Zhou Xiaohua began to liquidate long positions. In any case, he must first ensure the safety of his funds.

Cheng Ning's movements were faster than Zhou Ziye expected. Only one day later, she single-handedly found Zhou Ziye and signed a loan agreement with Zhou Ziye. After receiving a transfer check of 50 million yuan, she proudly said: "I will be served in the future. Now it is the uncle who borrows the money. If you are not satisfied with what you do, don't want the money. gone back."

Zhou Ziye smiled and said, "I didn't want this money. You will be my mother in the future and take care of me."

To be honest, Zhou Ziye is really not afraid of her recklessness, and this is also true. If you want to win over a lot of power, you should give a little bit of sweetness first. What's more, while signing the loan agreement, Cheng Ning also expressed her attitude, and she decided to follow Zhou Ziye. I just don't know how she convinced the people behind her.

However, what Zhou Ziye didn't know was that he was already a celebrity in the eyes of many upper-class figures. Although his income in the gold futures market is still unclear, due to his own disclosure of information, Miss Zhu and Wang Xuerong are not fools. They only need to synthesize the market conditions and it is easy to infer them.

Although they only conservatively estimated 300 million U.S. dollars, they are already amazing. As long as this news is reported, it is no longer a secret, and many interested people already know it.

. Don't say that earning 300 million U.S. dollars in three months, or earning 300 million U.S. dollars a year is a rare achievement for domestic institutions. The most important thing is that the cost of Zhou Midnight is only 12 million U.S. dollars.

And the cooperation between him and Oriental Investment Company was not a secret from the beginning. Minmetals and Heavy Bank followed suit from the beginning, and dozens of companies came one after another. His every move can be said to be in the eyes of interested people. It can be said that the degree of his attention is far above his understanding.

After Cheng Ning went back, he thought about it for a long time before conveying Zhou Ziye's meaning to her father. Her father has been engaged in research work for a lifetime. Although he doesn't like socializing, he has always been the soul of their group and an indispensable military commander. Even her tough mother would obey her father's words.

She was still hesitant to use any excuse to urge her father to agree to cooperate with Zhou Ziye, because she didn't want to tell Zhou Ziye's secrets to her. But as soon as her father heard her say Zhou Ziye's terms, he agreed to her opinion and urged the lawyers to start studying the cooperation contract. This made her feel relieved for a while, and she was also very happy. With her father's support, this cooperation was a certainty.

Cheng Ning's deal was done, and Cheng Ling also brought him good news. She brought Zhou Ziye information about most of the yoga masters in Hong Kong. Zhou Ziye selected a female teacher named Asmita in her thirties according to her genre. After Zhou Ziye inspected her strength, I think she is enough to serve as Mumiya's junior teacher. Moreover, she is still a direct disciple of the Ashtanga school, and Xiaoya wants to further study in the future, and she has the most convenient channel.

Asmita's teaching fee in Hong Kong is only 600 Hong Kong dollars. There are six classes a week, and his monthly income is about 14 thousand, but he has to teach 16 students. Zhou Ziye quickly negotiated with her about the cost. Zhou Ziye provided her with board and lodging, and paid a monthly fee of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and did not delay her continuing to teach part-time in the evening. This made her very happy and agreed to take good care of Xiaoya's request in the future.

Let Xiaoya come to Hong Kong, then she must arrange a place to live. Of course Zhou Ziye will not let her live with herself. She is a little girl, and someone will take care of her, so Zhou Ziye can rest assured.

Zhou Ziye asked Cheng Ling to issue an invitation letter to Xiaoya in the name of the spokesperson of the company, so that she could apply for a work pass to Hong Kong. She also asked her to rent a house for Xiaoya in a nearby real estate and arrange for a Filipino servant.

Xiaoya was extremely happy to receive the news that she was coming to Hong Kong. There was a brother on the phone, and Zhou Ziye couldn't help getting angry with the crisp and soft voice. Cheng Ling secretly scolded Zhou Ziye for her lust, but had to help Zhou Ziye handle these things. She didn't want to lose this high-paying job.

On the eve of Zhou Midnight preparing to go to Singapore, he received a call from Miss Zhu

. Half an hour later, he welcomed her and Qu Li to visit again at home. Hu Cheng wittily poured tea for them, and went back downstairs, but Qu Li also left, making Zhou Ziye realize that this conversation would not be that simple.

Sure enough, Miss Zhu's first sentence asked: "Xiao Zhou, what's the matter of your cooperation with Cheng Ning? How can they give up their current interests and promote the establishment of the Iron and Steel Association?"

Zhou Ziye didn't hide it, and said directly: "I promised her to establish a non-ferrous metal trading company with her, which involves domestic trade and can give her half of the profits."

"what is your purpose?"

Seeing Miss Zhu's serious eyes, Zhou Ziye also became serious and said: "The first purpose is to make this association break through the previous association's only coordination role and play a greater management role..."

Miss Zhu interrupted him and said: "Don't talk about these things, I want to know your personal interests."

Zhou Ziye sighed and said: "The biggest reason is still for the country. Of course, I also have a little selfishness. The establishment of this association can prevent the endless price increases of international mining companies and reduce the popularity of the market. In this case, When I enter the non-ferrous metal industry, the cost can be lower. In addition, I hope to get an independent mineral import and export license."

Miss Zhu said: "You are working with Cheng Ning, this shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Zhou Ziye said with a smile: "Do you think I will let her get my throat stuck? If I don't get the import and export rights now, I believe that I will never get it in the future."

"I can promise you this. I will finish this matter before February." Ms. Zhu mused and said: "Since you are determined to gain a foothold in the minerals industry, why haven't you acted yet? As far as I know , You have a lot of funds now, enough for you to establish an exploration company and carry out the preliminary work."

Zhou Ziye nodded and said: "I am alone, even if I have money, do you think my financial security can be guaranteed? I am waiting for the opportunity, and I will start to take action until next summer, but, at that time, I am afraid I Still need the support of the state."

Ms. Zhu said: "Isn't your property company building your foundation? The state has not controlled you in this area. Instead, it plans to arrange a group of high-quality soldiers for you when the military is discharged this year."

Zhou Ziye knew that only from revealing that he wanted to enter the mineral industry, he would not be able to hide what he did for long.

. But he neither treason nor commits terrorist attacks, the country just turns a blind eye and closes a blind eye.

He shook his head and said: "This kind of power is just a kind of intimidation, just like an atomic bomb. Can it be used casually? More often, what I need is the support of political forces. But what I hope is that you have the conditions. Support instead of unconditional support."

When investing abroad, the strength of the country is very important. Otherwise, if he invests in a gold mine today, the resource country will reclaim it tomorrow. If the country does not support it, let alone a few hundred people, just a few thousand people. Is it still going to attack a country? ! Therefore, at this time, domestic support at the political level is needed. But this kind of support cannot be unconditional. Zhou Ziye is willing to pay remuneration and is unwilling to support unconditionally in the country. This creates the illusion that this is a state-owned state. After reaching a certain level, he will directly grab his own achievements.

Miss Zhu nodded and said: "I can't guarantee this, but I am willing to let the relevant parties sign a memorandum with you. As for the treatment of future successors, it is beyond my control."

Zhou Ziye nodded and said: "This is enough. Everything is interest. What we have to do is to find a balance between national and personal interests that is acceptable to both parties. As long as there is such an opportunity, It's enough for us to have access to a platform. It's really going to irritate me. The big deal is that I will sell the mine and just be my rich man."

Miss Zhu smiled and said: "How old are you, the rich young master is about the same. I believe that people of insight will not do anything about killing chickens and eggs. The second thing is about this Singapore futures investment, which is now domestic A lot of funds have been invested in the Singapore market. Although they are still in the stage of making money, I think this time will not be too long. Now we are looking for a suitable method to safely recover these funds."

Zhou Ziye complained: "Domestic companies have this virtue. When they saw us eating meat, they all squeezed over. You can't give it, or if you don't give it, it doesn't work if you don't give it or you don't have enough points. But there is so much meat in the pot. If the other party can't eat it, just throw a handful of poison in it, and everyone won't take it. If you find it, it's okay. If you can't find it, you can finish it all at once."

Miss Zhu smiled and said: "I'm not here to listen to your complaints, but to see what good you can do as a little prodigy."

Zhou Ziye thought for a while and said: "You can check through the bank to see which companies are investing in crude oil and copper futures. Whether you use administrative orders or banks to force debts, try to let them deliver the contracts first. I feel that if the market changes, it should start from the changes in these two aspects."

Ms. Zhu nodded and said: "This time you go to Singapore, you must also make a quick fight. Recently, a lot of hot money has entered the Singapore market.

. However, with your abilities, I am afraid that you have already made your own mind, right? ! The easiest way to get out of Dongfang Company is that most of their contracts expire in early November. No matter how the market changes, it will have no impact on them. "

Zhou Ziye smiled and said: "We entered the market in early August. At that time, the main open positions were all three-month contracts. Of course, they expired in early November. This is luck and a little bit of strength."

Miss Zhu didn't care about Zhou Ziye's words, and said: "I give you a task. This time I go to Singapore. You will be more aggressive and pour cold water on those hot-headed people."

Zhou Ziye nodded and said, "Are there any tasks?"

Miss Zhu shook her head and smiled: "My mission is just one. Learn about the inside story of your cooperation with Cheng Ning. As for the following mission, I personally give you. If you recognize me as an aunt, just listen, don't want to It doesn't matter if you don't listen."

Zhou Ziye said with some embarrassment: "I think it's good to call you sister Zhu, right? Auntie too, right?! What's more, how young you look, and sister is not abrupt at all."

Miss Zhu didn't correct his words, and smiled: "Just do it with you. Before I leave, I will greet you for my father. He looks at your actions and gives you a banner."

Zhou Ziye took the banner she handed over, and unfolded under her encouragement, slowly revealing the ten characters "The sea is wide and the fish leap, the sky is high and the birds fly". Although it is not top-notch from the perspective of calligraphy, Zhou Ziye knew that it was more precious than any calligrapher's inscription.

He stared at these ten words for a while before turning around and said, "Please take me to pay his respects. Tell him, although I long for freedom, I prefer to wear the yoke of the motherland, because this allows me to be free. A sense of belonging!"

Miss Zhu smiled and said: "I knew I didn't misunderstand you."

Miss Zhu was sent away, and Zhou Ziye sat alone in the study for a long time. Looking at the banner in front of him, he kept thinking about it, but in the end he could only turn into a sigh. Just knowing the ending, that level is too far away from oneself, far from being touchable by oneself. Don't look at the joy you are dancing now, but it's just a little flea, and you can crush yourself to death with just one finger.

And what I can do is to use the foundation of the current high-rise building, calm down and step by step, move bricks, build walls, erect beams, and pave tiles to build my own building as soon as possible.
