Chapter 29 Don't be too greedy
Closer friends are more concerned about this matter, and either come to the door in person or call to ask, "Yuntian, I heard that you are doing a big deal recently, is this true?"
"What a big deal. Next, I want to operate across industries. If I want to use natural rubber as raw materials, I will first explore the raw material market."
"Everyone is saying that you have recently imported a large amount of natural rubber. What do you want to do?" My friends didn't understand.
"I think..., oh, it's nothing. Didn't I tell you that I want to explore the natural rubber market." Guan Yuntian was vague. He didn't need to explain his motives to everyone.
"Old friend, natural rubber is a bulk commodity in the international market. International speculators appear from time to time. The situation inside is unpredictable. You must be careful not to let it rot in your hands!" a kind friend reminded.
Facing the curiosity of acquaintances and the concern of friends, Guan Yuntian dealt with it hummingly. He had no intention of caring about what the outside world said.
Guan Yuntian is always paying attention to the price trend of natural rubber in the international market. There is a commodity information broadcast on the Economic Channel of CCTV, which he must watch every day.
For several days, the product information on the Economic Channel showed that the price of natural rubber was almost unchanged. "What is going on? Is the expected price turning point about to occur?" Guan Yuntian was puzzled.
Continuing to observe, after a few days, the information showed that the price of natural rubber in the international market had dropped. Through comparison, Guan Yuntian found that the current price was about one percent lower than his import price some time ago.
Eh! It’s really strange. If the price continues to drop, will natural rubber still be profitable? "Hey! Why do you think so much? I want to see how much the price can drop!" After a period of time, Guan Yuntian
Focus your energy elsewhere and simply stop caring about the price trend of natural rubber.
One night more than two months later, Guan Yuntian turned on the TV after dinner to watch the news. Inadvertently, he switched the channel to the Economic Information Broadcast. In a long list of information, Guan Yuntian noticed that the price of natural rubber had increased.
The current transaction price has increased compared with two months ago, but it has only risen to a level roughly equivalent to their import price at that time.
Some friends and colleagues from Changda Company are worried about Guan Yuntian. Tens of thousands of tons of natural rubber imported at a cost of four to five billion are packed in the warehouse. He is not in a hurry. I wonder what this guy is thinking about all day long?
It is not true to say that Guan Yuntian is not anxious at all. Tens of thousands of tons of goods are piled in the warehouse, occupying four to five billion yuan of funds. No matter how big the heart is, it is impossible to remain calm. But Guan Yuntian has done it carefully beforehand.
According to the analysis, he does not believe that the price of natural rubber will remain at a low level. According to his analysis and research on price trends for many years, Guan Yuntian believes that in the near future, the price of rubber should bottom out and rebound. From the commodities broadcast on TV in recent days
The price trend he learned from the information strengthened his judgment.
Since recently, Guan Yuntian has not only continued to pay attention to the commodity information broadcast on TV, he has also used the special relationship established by the cord fabric supplier with the relevant companies to keep abreast of the prices of their newly purchased natural rubber from within each tire company.
In the past half month or so, Guan Yuntian noticed that the price of natural rubber in the international market has been rising. Although the increase is not much every day, it is only about one percent at most, but after more than ten days, Guan Yuntian suddenly discovered that with
Compared with more than half a month ago, the overall price has increased by 10%!
Although the situation is exciting, Guan Yuntian is very calm. In his opinion, even if the price has increased by 10% now, compared with the historical high of natural rubber prices, it has only reached 70% of the highest price.
Purchasing managers from two or three tire companies came to inquire about prices, but Guan Yuntian remained unmoved. He wanted to observe for a while before making a decision.
Another week passed, and the price of natural rubber in the international market soared by 10%. Xiao Ma, the business manager of Changda Company, approached Guan Yuntian and asked, "Mr. Guan, should we start shipping?"
"Why rush to ship?"
"Compared with our import prices, they have already increased by 20%. If we wait any longer, if the prices fall, wouldn't we be in trouble?" Xiao Ma worried.
"It makes sense, but we have to wait and see again." Guan Yuntian looked quite calm on the surface.
Five days later, the quotation in the international market increased by another 10%. In less than a month, the price of natural rubber suddenly jumped by 30%! Not to mention other people, even Guan Yuntian himself, although
He expected the price to rise, but he didn't expect it to rise so fast!
After calling the business manager Xiao Ma to his office, Guan Yuntian ordered: "Contact various tire companies interested in purchasing natural rubber and ask them to sign the contract as soon as possible."
Guan Yuntian's prediction of the price trend of natural rubber some time ago made Xiao Ma admire him. "Mr. Guan, we are now preparing to ship. Do you think there is no room for price increase?"
"No, it will definitely rise to a certain extent."
"Since there is still room for growth, why are we rushing to ship instead of waiting?"
"Hong Kong's Asia's richest man, Li Ka-shing, warned us that businessmen should not be too greedy and should not try to make every last copper penny. This makes sense." Guan Yuntian said.
"Mr. Guan, what do you mean, we won't wait any longer?"
"Don't wait a day, seize the time to contact various tire companies, submit our prices, and let the manufacturers who are interested in purchasing come to sign agreements."
During this period, the price of natural rubber continued to rise, making the purchasing managers of various tire manufacturers like ants on a hot pot. Everyone was very happy to receive the invitation call from Xiaoma, because they had long been thinking about the products hoarded by Changda Company.
Tens of thousands of tons of natural rubber.
Purchasing managers are particularly interested in Changda Company's quotation, because this quotation is 2% lower than the price of natural rubber in the international market in the past two days. If the continued upward trend is taken into account, Changda Company's quotation will be even more
Attractive.
When launching specific business negotiations, Guan Yuntian required each manufacturer to sign a one-time purchase and sales contract based on their own needs. On this issue, there were some differences between the purchasing managers and Changda Company's requirements.
Although the current price of natural rubber is still a little far from the historical high, it is also close to the historical high. Even if Changda Company's quotation is preferential, the price is not low. Users are unwilling to sign a one-time purchase and sales contract because they believe that natural rubber
The price cannot always be strong. If the price drops, they will suffer a loss if they sign a one-time purchase and sale contract at the current price.
The purchasing managers of each company are very smart, and they also have their own wishful thinking. If they want to sign a contract for a truckload of goods, the price will be calculated based on the average international market price that day.
In this matter, Guan Yuntian certainly cannot go along with the wishes of the purchasing managers. Signing a contract every time he pulls goods is not only cumbersome, but also the pricing is very inconvenient. "Don't think of using me as a retail stall for small traders. Wouldn't that be deceiving?"
Too much? When you purchase goods in the international market or the domestic market, when do you not sign a contract with a one-time price of tens of thousands of tons, who will deal with them piecemeal?"
Guan Yuntian insisted that each user sign a one-time purchase and sales contract based on their total purchase volume, otherwise there would be no need to negotiate. He believed that Changda Company had already made profits to the users, and if they haggle over the details of the contract, Changda Company would never give in.
Perhaps seeing that the price of natural rubber continues to rise in the international market, the attitudes of some users have changed. Two or three of the more than ten tire manufacturers in Fuyuan County have signed one-time purchase and sales contracts with Changda Company, and some
The bosses of two companies have a good personal relationship with Guan Yuntian, and two other companies have approached government officials to intercede. For these users, Guan Yuntian would rather give them some discounts in private, but the principle of signing a one-time purchase and sales contract cannot be shaken.
.
At this time, Guan Yuntian also wanted to ship the natural rubber he had hoarded as soon as possible. He knew that he could succeed this time because he took advantage of the natural rubber market downturn for many years and the international speculators were temporarily taking a nap.
If you wait for the giants in the commodity market to come to their senses, a small Changda company will be insignificant. Even ten Changda companies will not be able to compete with the international speculators.
This is also the main reason why Guan Yuntian must sign a one-time purchase and sale contract with users. If he sells slowly and steadily according to the wishes of users, when the speculators find out, they will round up the new poacher from Changda Company.
At that time, it is not a question of making money, but how much money you have to worry about. After you cleanly dispose of the hoarded goods and successfully escape from the scene, such worries will no longer exist.
After the natural rubber stockpiled by Changda Company was sold off, the price in the international market increased by about 10% in more than half a month. Colleagues in the company and friends in the social circle were talking a lot. They all thought that Guan Yuntian acted hastily and let Guan Yuntian act hastily.
My company suffered a loss.
Facing the comments from friends and colleagues, Guan Yuntian smiled and said nothing. He did not need to explain too much to these people.
As Guan Yuntian expected, everything will have its day of prosperity and decline. Some time ago, the price of natural rubber in the international market rose rapidly. In less than a month, its price dropped even faster, even exceeding
The initial rate of increase.
Seeing this kind of roller coaster-like price trend made Guan Yuntian shudder. This was obviously speculators fighting each other. If they didn't get rid of it as soon as possible, if Changda Company was caught in it, they might lose all their money. I thought about this.
I'm afraid even thinking about it.
