Collusion between officials and businessmen!
This kind of thing is very common and is inevitable both in the Ming Dynasty and in Mexico.
It’s just that Umbrella Corporation has gone too far!
And it’s too in-depth!
"If we continue investigating, we will definitely find some clues!"
Zhu Xianhai sneered.
"Those termites will definitely stand up on their own in the end!"
Just as Zhu Xianhai and Ma Bangde were chatting about conducting an in-depth investigation into the Umbrella Corporation, they saw a fashionable beauty with long wavy hair walking towards them with a smile, then stood in front of Zhu Xianhai's desk and smiled.
"Mr. Zhu, I didn't expect to see you here."
"Who are you……"
This woman seems familiar, with a hot and curvy figure... By the way, she seems to be the host of a TV talk show. What's her name?
"I'm Emily from Channel 13's Beauty Show."
Zhu Xianhai did not show much enthusiasm towards the visitor. He just stopped using his chopsticks and looked at the other person.
"My assistant has contacted your assistant before, hoping to interview you."
Emily didn't care. She wiped her sexy skirt and sat on the chair next to Zhu Xianhai.
"It seems to be the case."
I did hear that someone wanted to interview me before.
"Ms. Emily, I'm very busy recently. Otherwise, let's make an appointment next time."
Make another appointment?
I glanced at the woman in front of me and thought I could make a date with her.
Faced with the rejection, a gleam of light flashed in Emily's eyes.
"Mr. Zhu, I heard that you made a lot of money in this stock market crash because you shorted the Jinshan Index Futures long before the crash. There are reports that your profit may exceed 10 billion, is that right?"
"Miss Ai is well-informed. Yes, there is nothing to hide. I am indeed bearish on the Jinshan Index Futures."
Some things don't need to be hidden.
"Now some people outside are claiming that you are trading based on insider information, right?"
"Inside information?"
The woman's question made Zhu Xianhai stunned, and then he laughed.
"Ms. Ai, have you read the "Burn Out" issue of the financial magazine?"
"Of course, after all, it was this that triggered the stock market crash."
"He did not instigate it, but he revealed the truth, and this truth is well known to everyone. As an investor, you only need to carefully collect relevant information and you will get the corresponding answer. The so-called insider information is essentially the collection of intelligence."
Ma Bangde, who was sitting next to him, agreed with what he said. According to his experience, if the Investigation Bureau speculated in stocks, the rewards would definitely be very rich, because the Investigation Bureau has the most powerful intelligence network in the world.
Ma Bangde was filled with fear, as if the whole world had changed after this secret was revealed. He didn't know what to do, nor what to do next. He could only stare at the other person, hoping to find a hint of clues in his eyes.
"Is it that simple?"
"Miss Ai, do you trade stocks?"
"It's just a little fight to kill time."
"So you must follow some financial news."
“I pay attention to it occasionally.”
"Yes, everyone will pay attention, but the time and depth of their attention vary. As a media person, you are more informed than most people, but you also have your own limitations. What you get is not necessarily first-hand information."
Looking at the woman who seemed a little confused, Zhu Xianhai continued to explain.
“Have you ever paid attention to the futures market?”
“Just a little understanding.”
"Iron ore futures have risen sharply recently."
"Indeed, but this should be directly related to the suspension of production at the Karayas Iron Mine."
The Karayas Iron Mine is the largest iron mine in the Ming Empire. It is located in the Amazon Basin and was discovered by the Ming Dynasty's Amazon expedition team. During the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, it was regarded as the "cornerstone of the empire's steel industry." In another world, it gave rise to the Vale Company. Of course, the Ming Dynasty also had its own Vale Company, but unlike in another world, the Ming Dynasty's Vale monopolized 60% of the world's iron ore.
"Yes, in order to protect the interests of the company, the Vale factory reduced the production capacity of the Karayas iron ore mine by 30%, which directly led to a surge in iron ore prices."
The most profitable business in the world is monopoly. The fundamental reason why Vale can push up iron ore prices by stopping production is monopoly. Zhu Xianhai said, recalling the information he had seen before.
"But as we all know, they will not continue to reduce production capacity. Pushing up prices by limiting production is just a commercial means. In the past, they would reduce production capacity every two to three years. This time it is only the Karayas iron ore mine. If production is resumed, the price of iron ore will fall accordingly."
"It is shameless that mining giants like Vale manipulate the prices of bulk raw materials and even manipulate the futures market."
Obviously, Emily doesn't have much good feelings towards the monopoly giants, which is normal. Perhaps the world has experienced a hundred years of peace, and under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, there has been almost no war or famine in the world.
Continuous peace has brought great prosperity to the human economy, but the world is not perfect. There are a large number of chaebols in this world. To a certain extent, hundreds of chaebols control the economies of countries around the world. Even in Mexico, there are chaebols. People’s food, clothing, housing and transportation are all inseparable from chaebols.
On the one hand, people envy the chaebols, but on the other hand, they are dissatisfied with them. This is why the Internet economy is so popular - most of them rose from the grassroots. Of course, not many people noticed that technology companies and Internet companies all received investments from large conglomerates during their rise.
The so-called grassroots... are just on the surface. How could those big capitalists let go of this fat piece of meat called the Internet?
However, the bursting of the Internet bubble this time caused many chaebols to suffer heavy losses.
"It's human nature."
After smiling, Zhu Xianhai asked again.
"At this time, if anyone knows when they will resume production, it will definitely bring extremely rich returns."
“This is the inside scoop!”
Emily suddenly became interested.
"But will they tell you?"
Zhu Xianhai asked back.
"At this time, the role of intelligence is revealed. In order to obtain this intelligence, we now send a plane to fly over the Karayas iron ore mine every day and take pictures of the mine cars."
"why is that?"
Emily said in amazement.
"After the suspension of production, large equipment such as mining cars and electric shovels will be parked in the same place for one month, two months, one year, or even two years. If their location changes, then there is only one possibility, that the mine is preparing to resume production. At this time, we can combine other information to determine whether they will resume production. In this way, we can obtain the corresponding information three to four days ahead of the market. This time difference is our profit, which is what you call insider information."
"This, this is also fine..."
Emily opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe her ears.
"You actually used airplanes to scout the mines and gather information!"
Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"The mall is like a battlefield, miss."
Then he got up and left.
"Mr. Zhu, about the interview..."
Before the woman could finish, Zhu Xianhai spoke.
"Look, that was just an interview, and you got the inside information you wanted to know about me! By the way..."
Zhu Xianhai, who was about to stand up, seemed to have thought of something. The woman in front of him said.
"If you still want to know the inside information, you might as well pay attention to the Umbrella Company. I think you will definitely gain a lot."
After saying that, Zhu Xianhai turned around and left.
Looking at the man leaving, Emily couldn't help but be stunned,... Is this inside information?
Umbrella Corporation?
But it is a well-known company, what big news do they have?
But at this moment her curiosity was aroused.
