Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"Mr. Klein, the price of dysprosium oxide futures market has reached 610 yuan per kilogram, right?" Ma Xiaojun asked calmly.

Klein nodded helplessly and admitted: "Yes, so we took the initiative to increase the quotation to 615 yuan per kilogram again!"

"Mr. Klein, we all know in our hearts that due to the lack of short orders in the rare earth futures market, your short positions cannot be closed at all. Now it is completely under the control of multiple parties. The price of 610 yuan cannot be maintained until the delivery date! Ma Xiaojun said calmly.

"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Ma, when doing business, you can't just care about immediate profits! Rhodia is willing to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Haitao Rare Earth Reserve Company. In the future, our raw material procurement can be handed over to you!"

Faced with the new bargaining chip presented by Klein, Ma Xiaojun did not buy it at all, and said with a smile: "We are very much looking forward to establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with Rhodia Company, but please understand that your quotation for dysprosium oxide is indeed far away. Well below our expectations..."

"How much do you want to sell the dysprosium oxide you have?" Klein asked with a frown.

"Mr. Klein, I personally hope to reach a sales agreement with you as soon as possible, but the board of directors predicts that the dysprosium oxide futures price will eventually exceed the 1000 yuan per kilogram mark..." Ma Xiaojun said with a smile.

"1000 yuan per kilogram? Why don't you go grab it?" Klein asked angrily.

"Mr. Klein, you are serious! This is a consensual business. Isn't free trade what you Westerners admire most?" Ma Xiaojun exclaimed.

"Mr. Ma, after the delivery date of rare earth futures, the spot price of dysprosium oxide will inevitably plummet. You might as well take advantage of the high price to ship goods and be safe. Taking a step back, we can also adopt cash delivery. It’s not physical delivery!” Klein said in a different tone.

"Cash delivery or physical delivery, that is your right! But I want to remind you that unless you are willing to continue to add short orders, otherwise, dysprosium oxide futures will rise to an incredible price before the delivery date..." Ma Xiaojun smiled road.

"This is absolutely impossible! You are maliciously manipulating rare earth prices and making huge profits through illegal means! I can control you..." Klein said angrily.

Ma Xiaojun chuckled and said: "This is also your right! Whether it is cash delivery or hedging and liquidation, I advise you to give up this idea. If Rhodia is now a long party in dysprosium oxide futures, you will be merciful and give holders Are there opportunities for counterparty hedging and cash delivery of large short positions?”

Like a trapped lion, Klein stared into Ma Xiaojun's eyes and asked hissingly: "What do you really want? Who is the financial backer behind Haitao Rare Earth Reserve Company? Why do you want to set up such a big deal for us?" Trap?"

Ma Xiaojun said unmoved: "Mr. Klein, we had no grudges in the past and have no grudges today. I also sympathize with your experience, but the financial market has always been like this. If you hadn't exposed your flaws because of your greed, we would be the ones worried now." Tao Rare Earth Reserve Company holds so much rare earth, and due to financial pressure, it can only sell it at a low price..."

Klein slumped on the sofa. He was now basically sure that Rhodia China Company was finished. The other party had spent hundreds of billions of funds to set up a trap, and the capital cost far exceeded Rhodia's market value. How could he let himself go?

Klein was preparing to leave with a dull expression. Now, the decision can only be left to the headquarters!

"Mr. Klein, don't think about selling patent transfer assets. I remember that there is a liability clause in the rare earth futures contract, but it will implicate the group company. I advise you to report to the group company as soon as possible and let the board of directors intervene! "Ma Xiaojun said murderously.

Klein turned around and said feebly: "You win! I will truthfully report to the board of directors, and future matters will have nothing to do with me..."

"I have a suggestion, you can consider it!"

"What proposal?" Klein asked.

"Sell the entire Rhodia company to us, including those fatal short positions you hold!" Ma Xiaojun said calmly.

"What did you say? Selling Rodia as a whole?" Klein was stunned and stunned.

"Mr. Klein, don't get me wrong. We are not interested in Rhodia's main business of fine chemicals at all. You only need to divest the rare earth business and sell it to us together with Rhodia's China smelting and purification plant to successfully solve the current difficulties. Bureau!" Ma Xiaojun said with a shrug.

"What about the price? How much are you prepared to spend to acquire Rhodia's rare earth business?" Klein asked.

Ma Xiaojun shook his head and said: "Mr. Klein, you should be aware that Rhodia's rare earth business is currently in negative value. It will cost money to strip off non-performing assets and lay off employees. If you sell it to us together with the Chinese factory that is about to go bankrupt, you can Save yourself these costs..."

I am a fisherman and a fisherman!Klein was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but couldn't say a word...

Zongheng Investment, which has almost no rivals, continues to push up the price of rare earth futures. The short parties are unable to struggle and have all given up resistance. Without physical objects for delivery, no matter how hard you resist, it is in vain!

Rhodia Group, which had no hope of making a comeback, had no choice but to send senior executives to continue negotiations with Haitao Rare Earth Reserve Company. Unfortunately, it had no bargaining chips at all and had to accept all the conditions proposed by Haitao Rare Earth Reserve Company.

Canadian arm company followed suit and chose to sell its rare earth business.

Except for several Japanese rare earth companies, other foreign non-ferrous metal and fine chemical companies have chosen to sell their rare earth businesses and leave the Chinese market.

Bureau of Metallurgical Industry.

"Director Liao, this is the best result! The Japanese insist on not withdrawing from the Chinese rare earth market, which is actually good for our long-term rare earth strategy!" Yang Mo reported this to Liao Tingxuan in detail. A thrilling "rare earth war"...

"Is there any benefit?" Liao Tingxuan asked in surprise.

"There are still Japanese people in the rare earth industry chain, which will not cause worries and fears in the United States. This is a good thing for us!" Yang Mo explained.

"Sumitomo, Marubeni, and Mitsui are all multinational giants with astonishing size. Whether it is existing technology or subsequent R&D investment, they far exceed our domestic companies. It is difficult for us to gain absolute say in the rare earth industry chain!" Liao Tingxuan He said with some concern.

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "We don't need absolute right to speak yet! To deal with the technological monopoly of Western developed countries, our best strategy is to boil the frog in warm water..."
