They posted it upside down, and I'm actually not satisfied with it. - #375 - Chapter 373 I’m holding back any emotions

Li Yuan’s request was no different from what Ana Shen had put forward before.

It’s nothing more than wanting equipment, technology, and market.

For example, Venus Motor was allowed to enter the beautiful country, and received preferential plans and so on.

As a result, Beers didn’t agree to any of them.

The excuse is that they can’t intervene in other matters. At most, they can help and talk, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to do it.

Finally, Li Yuan directly expressed his inner thoughts.

“Mr. Beers, I still have 500,000 tons of lithium carbonate in hand, which is the previous inventory. If you can get it for US$70,000 per ton, then I can start taking it right away. If not, I will also take it. Five billion dollars for telling me about the interest rate hike.”

Although Beers’s talk about the time for raising interest rates is nonsense, Li Yuan is also talking nonsense.

If Bills dared to refuse, he wouldn’t take a dime!

The worst case scenario is that we just have to endure it slowly with Wall Street.

For Beers, this condition is very difficult, because the beautiful country cannot digest so much lithium carbonate itself, and their industrial scale is not enough.

Currently, six of the top ten companies in the world in the lithium battery industry are in China.

As for production, not to mention, China accounts for 70% of global production.

Five hundred thousand tons of lithium carbonate is basically the raw material needs of four other non-Chinese companies for eight months. Who did he buy it and sell it to?

The only thing that makes me excited is the price.

The current price of lithium carbonate is US$73,000 per ton, and there is a certain profit margin when purchasing it. The tariff on this product is very small, it is just a shipping fee.

However, once half a million tons enter the market, the price will definitely drop a lot. The reason why Li Yuan has so much inventory is probably because he doesn’t want to drop the price.

“Mr. Li, is half a million tons too much?”

He knew that Li Yuan had a chemical factory under his name, and he also knew that Li Yuan imported a lot of raw ore for refining.

I just never thought that Li Yuan would hoard so many.

“Everyone makes mistakes. In order to defeat Oriental Lithium Energy, I took over all their suppliers. However, even if I bought a stake in CATL, I couldn’t sell much. Mr. Beers, I need a dollar now. , we can trade in the form of futures contracts, and I will pay for the storage costs. You can come and pick up the goods at any time with the contract. Whether it is sold to Chinese manufacturers or foreign manufacturers, I can cooperate unconditionally.”

Li Yuan was betting that Bills would have no place to stock.

After all, lithium battery manufacturers are all near China, so he can’t go to the West Coast with all the trouble.

Interest rates are going to be raised tomorrow, and Beers has no choice.

If you cannot sell tens of billions of dollars in Bitcoin today, you will have to watch losses starting tomorrow.

The price of lithium carbonate is still rising. This thing is really hard currency, and the world is expanding production capacity.

“Mr. Li, the price of US$70,000 is too high. Global production capacity has almost been expanded. The price of lithium carbonate will definitely fall back.”

This is the most basic market law.

Li Yuan replied: “The expanded production capacity still cannot meet the demand for electric vehicles. In my opinion, it will take at least a year before the market situation stabilizes. I can give up some profits, which is 69,000 US dollars a month.” How about tons? You know, I am also responsible for warehousing, and the warehousing costs are not low.”

“If it’s US$60,000 per ton, I’d be happy to help Mr. Li.”

There is 20% space, which is more maneuverable for Bills.

It is normal for Li Yuan to want U.S. dollars. Once interest rates start to rise, the exchange rates of other currencies will be pushed up a lot.

Moreover, the essence of raising interest rates is to harvest other currencies. Only Franklin is eternal.

“That way I will lose money! Otherwise, Mr. Beers bought a $20 billion lithium carbonate contract from me at a price of $69,000. Similarly, I bought it from you at a price of $30,000. How about buying $20 billion in Bitcoin?”

“What is Mr. Li’s capital?”

Bills would not agree, because then Li Yuan would make money, but they would not.

“It’s a lot of money, sixty thousand dollars.”

Bills: “…”

“Mr. Beers, lithium carbonate is a hot commodity right now. Even if I sell it now, I won’t be able to sell it for less than 60,000 US dollars in a short time. So I need a certain profit before selling it. Also, there are no storage fees. It’s equivalent to US$1,000 per ton, and the freight is also US$1,000 per ton…”

Beers: “???”

What bullshit warehousing and freight.

Can it reach one thousand US dollars per ton?

That kind of cargo ship with a capacity of more than 100,000 tons can earn more than 100 million US dollars per trip?

fart!

It’s not like he doesn’t know the international logistics situation.

Only for some special items, the freight will be increased because the insurance company has higher fees and the freight company has greater risks.

Minerals are really low-end goods.

If it is shipped relatively close, the shipping fee of one hundred US dollars per ton is sky-high.

Even if it’s shipped to the West Coast, the shipping fee is $400 per ton.

storage fee? Fifty dollars a ton max, not even needed.

“Sixty-one thousand dollars, I can eat all the lithium carbonate in Mr. Li’s hand.”

“Eat them all? My company is expected to have some production capacity this year, probably more than 50,000 tons…”

“Mr. Li, can you guarantee that your company will not be sold privately?”

“Of course I guarantee that I will cede all the market to Mr. Beers. The company I work for will never sell another gram of lithium carbonate. This can be written in the contract, and the liquidated damages can be set by Mr. Beers.”

Beers quickly went to talk to someone about the matter.

The price of $61,000 is really good value for money, although the product is a bit overpriced.

But it also means that they have the initiative in shipping.

New energy vehicles are the same direction for China and the United States, and this will never change.

In order to support the new energy vehicle industry in the beautiful country, various industrial chains have given great discounts, including buying a car. A new energy vehicle worth US$50,000 can receive a subsidy of US$15,000.

It is limited to domestic brands, and no subsidies are given to foreign brands. The purpose is to improve the market competitiveness of domestic brands.

Being able to obtain a large amount of lithium carbonate at this price will allow the United States to reduce the cost of its own new energy vehicles a lot. After all, China uses high-priced lithium carbonate.

The cost of new energy vehicles mainly lies in the battery.

In just half an hour, the two sides reached an agreement.

Another hour passed and the two parties signed the contract.

The contract stipulates that any company under Li Yuan’s name is not allowed to participate in the sale of lithium carbonate within one year. In the event of breach of contract, liquidated damages of US$50 billion will be incurred.

At the same time, the other party promised to take over the production capacity of the chemical plant under Li Yuan’s name in the next year.

A preliminary agreement was drawn up to deliver 500,000 tons of lithium carbonate, with Wall Street paying a deposit of US$20 billion in advance.

At the same time, Li Yuan also added his own conditions,

If Wall Street’s subsequent final payment cannot be received according to the contract time, Li Yuan can also claim liquidated damages of US$50 billion. If he fails to pay, Li Yuan can unilaterally control all the goods in the contract.

Goods must be stored in China.

The final payment will be settled in two installments. The remainder of the 500,000 tons will be settled after half a year, and the additional production capacity will be settled after one year.

The new production capacity is more than 50,000 tons.

“Happy to work with!”

“Mr. Li, on the Bitcoin side, it’s time to move on as soon as possible.”

“Of course, within five hours at most, we can close the deal.”

Li Yuan hung up the phone and informed Shen Anna with a smile to cash in part of the Bitcoin short contract.

And he himself was calculating how much lithium carbonate he had in his hands.

Half a million tons? Definitely not.

Let alone 500,000 tons, not even 100,000 tons.

The current scale of the chemical plant only refines about 100,000 tons a year. Although Gu Dongsheng has grabbed some more recently, it can only handle 100,000 tons of goods a year.

In essence, his annual production capacity is only 200,000 tons.

With the current market conditions, he has no worries about selling. The demand for Qixing Motors is not low.

It’s just that the demand for Qixing Motors is not shown in the books. An additional account has been made with Ningde Co., Ltd. No one knows how many goods it has sold.

Anyway, 100,000 tons is enough for Wall Street to deal with…

After fighting Wall Street for so long, this is the first time that Li Yuan has taken the absolute initiative.

Although the project is not big, it feels very good to be a god.

Damn it, if you dare to do something dirty, I can even pull out your network cable!

There is not much time left for Wall Street. It is only a month. How much they can sell depends on their ability.

Global production capacity will explode soon.

There is nothing to speculate about in A-shares recently, and lithium extraction from salt lakes is being carried out every day.

When China decides to expand production capacity in a certain industry, unimaginable power can burst out in a short period of time.

Lithium carbonate will soon be at a cabbage price…

Anyway, Li Yuan got it in exchange for cabbage, so he didn’t lose anything.

Ana Shen worked overtime, and finally at one o’clock in the morning, she repaid the contract of nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars, paying a cost of 20 billion U.S. dollars, which was equivalent to making 20 billion U.S. dollars.

This method of making money is very simple.

But the money earned is inexplicable.

Although she had been busy for more than half a year, she never thought that the money would arrive all at once.

Li Yuan didn’t interfere at all, and he didn’t even come to the study once.

Obviously, the profits of these 20 billion US dollars are not as important to him as playing games with Shu Yanlin.

The more you participate in Li Yuan’s transactions, the more you can feel Li Yuan’s transaction efficiency.

He doesn’t choose randomly. He studies for a long time before placing a bet.

But as long as he makes up his mind to do it, it means that he has already calculated how much money he will earn in the future.

I had confidence in my heart, so I wasn’t worried at all.

Otherwise, why did he stay up late every day before?

She did this transaction without thinking at all, and she was busy for five or six hours without stopping. It is hard to imagine how much Li Yuan thought about it before operating it.

She is very willing to accept the identity of a tool person. The feeling is something she has never imagined, and her knowledge is refreshed every day.

She never felt tired.

How can anyone not feel tired of being a tool?

She left the study, preparing to get some food and take a look at the child.

Before I knew it, my daughter was already two years old.

The only troublesome thing is that Li Suqing has become accustomed to calling Li Yuan daddy.

She was afraid of spilling the beans outside.

But Li Suqing was still too young to understand what adults were doing, so even if she told him, it would have no effect.

When she came out, she happened to hear some movement in the bedroom. She opened the door and saw Li Yuan standing at the door of the bathroom.

It was obvious that my daughter was going to the toilet.

As long as he is not busy as a father, he is really competent.

“Busy working?”

Li Yuan asked.

“Well, I took out the deposit of 40 billion U.S. dollars and earned another 20 billion U.S. dollars. I am still short of 10 billion U.S. dollars before I can recover my capital.”

All the remaining chips must be lost before Li Yuan could lose money.

If you want not to lose money, just keep the price of Bitcoin below $110,000.

Bitcoin is only priced at US$30,000 now, why should it cost US$110,000?

Making money is a sure thing, it just depends on how much you make.

“I’ll sell the rest in two months, at a price of eighteen thousand dollars, anytime.”

“Okay, do you want to eat something? I’m going to do it now.”

“Okay, just in time I put Su Qing to sleep.”

…

Early in the morning on March 16, the whole world knew the news.

The beautiful country suddenly raised interest rates by 25 basis points.

We have been talking about raising interest rates only in June and July. What is the result?

So far in advance.

The reason for the advance is simply that internal inflation cannot be contained.

This news is bad news for major economies around the world.

If interest rates are raised according to the normal process in June and July, then even if the interest rates are raised for one or two years, it will only be about 200 basis points.

At this time, in advance, the things behind it represent far more than two hundred basis points.

There is no movement in A-shares because A-shares have long been flat.

Now there is only a little money left to speculate on leftovers, and the only acceptable subject matter is related to lithium batteries. The automobile sector has been muted, even though the automobile market this year is better than any previous year.

The God of Wealth knows earlier than most people.

He knew very well that this incident would trigger a series of chain reactions and wildly impact the domestic financial system.

He couldn’t wait to meet Li Yuan now, but Li Yuan’s agreed time was at the end of the month.

The most important thing is that he contacted those big institutions, but those capitals didn’t give a clear answer at all.

They are in a very bad situation now, but they also know that the God of Wealth will not ignore them because of their weight in the entire financial system.

The God of Wealth had previously said that he would treat Li Yuan to a meal in the capital. Then everyone would come over and he would make peace with them.

Everyone has no objection.

But now, do you want to go to Li Yuan?

Wouldn’t it look like a coward if you go? Do you admit defeat on your own behalf?

Therefore, few people gave a clear answer, and they all put pressure on the God of Wealth, asking him to turn around and put pressure on Li Yuan.

The God of Wealth sighed.

I’m about to retire, and I’m still under so much pressure.

He seriously suspected that Li Yuan deliberately set the time at the end of March just to let everyone see the impact of the U.S. dollar interest rate hike on the entire financial system.

And he found that it was a good thing that A shares were flat.

Otherwise, I’m afraid today will be another day of problems.

This prevents the retail investors inside from acting as takeovers for foreign investors again.

“Fuck! I’m going to retire, so I don’t care about you!”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He immediately called the secretary and said: “Go, inform those guys, every one of them, hold back their emotions for me! If you don’t go to Qinghe County at the end of March, Li Yuan won’t teach them, I will teach them myself!” ( End of this chapter)
