Perhaps it was a fight in the rain that shook off the evil spirit of the Qianli National Highway. At around nine o'clock in the morning, we finally arrived in Shangdu safely.

As the capital of the Central Plains Province, the business circle of Shangcheng City was very lively for a while. However, due to many problems such as vision, foundation, and environment, money drifted away, power expanded, and it disappeared like fireworks.

As the largest city in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Shangdu overall gives the impression of being stable and striving for progress, not enough compared to the previous ones, but more than adequate compared to the lower ones.

In 1998, GDP ranked in the middle of provincial capital cities, four positions behind Yuezhou. The gap was quite obvious.

First, he found a hotel to stay at, and then went nearby to try the local special braised noodles. Lin Baiyao left a message on a pager number, and after a while, the call came back.

Lin Baiyao reported the hotel room number, and about half an hour later, a man in his early thirties appeared in front of everyone. He was unshaven, unkempt, with dull eyes, and an air of decadence all over his body.

"Mr. Lin, I am Shen Chucheng."

Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "I have heard of Mr. Shen's name for a long time..."

Shen Chucheng kept his posture very low and said politely: "Mr. Lin, just call me Xiao Shen. Yu is always my great benefactor. If you ask me anything, I will do my best as long as I can do it."

"Brother Shen is serious! I heard from Mr. Yu that you are now a full-time futures broker?"

"Yes, I'm at Wan'an Futures Brokerage Company...Mr. Lin, do you want to make mung beans?"

There is no other place in Shangdu that attracts Lin Baiyao. However, in August this year, the domestic futures market was undergoing a major overhaul. 11 futures exchanges were shut down. Only 3 remained in the country, and Shangdu Futures Exchange was one of the 3 remaining.

.

The commercial exchange mainly deals in grain crops, with five trading varieties in the initial stage, but in fact the most important trading variety is mung beans.

Mung bean futures is a unique product in China. There is no such variety in the world, but it became extremely popular throughout the 1990s.

For example, in 1998, the trading volume of the other two futures exchanges was 0.52 trillion and 0.67 trillion respectively, while the trading volume of the Commodity Exchange was 2.11 trillion.

Among the 2.11 trillion yuan on the Commercial Exchange, the trading volume of mung bean varieties is as high as 2.07 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 60% of the total futures trading volume in the country.

What is this concept?

Is the domestic demand for physical mung beans so large?

Even a fool knows it's impossible.

Mung bean futures are more about speculation!

The speculative market of up to 2 trillion yuan for a single product means that the commercial exchange is a cornucopia of murderous opportunities. If you are lucky, you can get rich overnight, but if you are not lucky, you will lose everything overnight.

Lin Baiyao didn't hide anything from him and said, "I do have this idea. What suggestions does Brother Shen have?"

Shen Chucheng said: "Mr. Lin, don't blame me for speaking directly. My suggestion is not to do it. Where are you from and where are you going? If you invest your money in any industry, you will have the opportunity to make money. If you invest here, you will definitely lose."

"Oh, Brother Shen, let's talk about it..."

"Has Mr. Lin been to Yangnan City?"

Yangnan City is located in the southern part of Central Plains Province, at the junction of the three provinces. It has a suitable climate, with 2,000 hours of sunshine throughout the year and more than 220 days of frost-free period. It is particularly suitable for the growth of mung beans and is the main mung bean producing area in the country.

"No, if I have time this time, I also plan to go shopping in Yangnan."

"Should go check it out."

Shen Chucheng said: "You can tell by looking at it that it is better not to do mung bean futures."

Lin Baiyao thought for a while and said, "Brother Shen, are you free today? Let's go to Yangnan now..."

"Now?"

"right!"

Shen Chucheng looked at Lin Baiyao. He had not encountered such a resolute boss for a long time. A strange light flashed in his dim eyes and said: "Okay, since Mr. Lin is interested, I will go with Mr. Lin."

."

"Do you have a driver's license?"

"have!"

"Xiao Qi, give the car keys to Brother Shen."

Tang Xiaoqi has been driving all day and all night, and he hasn't slept a wink yet. He can't drive tiredly. This is how long distances are, with multiple drivers and multiple guarantees.

However, what surprised Lin Baiyao was that Shen Chucheng looked so tired, and when he touched the steering wheel, he was like a car god in Qiu Mingshan. Regardless of whether the road was bad or not, he just stepped on the accelerator and it took only five hours to reach the destination.

Yangnan.

There is no highway, more than 200 kilometers...

Jiang Hai's body shape is only suitable for sitting in the passenger seat. Tang Xiaoqi is thin and small and suitable for sitting in the back row. Lin Baiyao is in the middle and Ye Sushang is on the left.

The rear seat of the Daqi is not spacious to begin with, so it was no use wearing a seat belt due to the bumps and bumps. For five hours, we couldn’t say we were rubbing our ears together, at least our legs were tangled together, almost like glue.

At first, Ye Sushang struggled to lean against the car door, trying to stay away from Lin Baiyao, but then he lay down flat, as he liked.

As a direct result, in the next few hours, Ye Sushang did not raise his head, rarely spoke, and the blush on his face never faded.

Lin Baiyao didn't pay much attention to the little girl's psychological activities. Instead, he chatted with Shen Chucheng. He first talked about daily life, the current social situation and the futures situation. After the atmosphere was almost complete, he asked: "Brother Shen majors in finance?"

"Yes, if you don't learn well, you will make people laugh."

"Which school did you graduate from?"

Shen Chucheng hesitated and said: "Su Huai is wealthy..."

"Um?"

Ye Sushang immediately became energetic, sat up and said, "Finance University? Which year?"

Shen Chucheng didn't know why this beautiful girl was interested in this, so he replied: "The class of 1990."

Ye Sushang was excited and wanted to speak, but Lin Baiyao secretly held his little hand, shook it gently, looked at him in surprise, but wisely closed his mouth.

Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "The University of Finance and Economics can be considered a prestigious school!"

Ye Sushang immediately understood that Lin Baiyao was unwilling to expose his identity and said: "Yes, how can a graduate of a famous school in the 1990s condescend to come to a small company like Wanan? Brother Shen, you should go to the capital or Songhu to show your talents."

Shen Chucheng smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard to say... Mr. Lin, Yangnan City is ahead of us, we are here."

Yangnan City is a large agricultural city, and its development is relatively slow. Looking around, there are no bustling factories, no modern sense of high-rise buildings, only endless grain fields, nurturing a land of water and soil.

After settling in a place to live, Shen Chucheng took them to find a mung bean dealer. The boss and Shen Chucheng were old acquaintances. Hearing that Lin Baiyao and the others were here to collect mung beans, he said strangely: "Normally, this is not the case.

When the mung beans are harvested, why are there so many waves of outsiders coming to harvest them?"

Shen Chucheng said: "What do you mean? Don't you usually give your mung beans to Hubula?"

"This is usually the case, but this year's mung bean harvest is good and the price has been falling. Hubula is not stupid, but there is no need to hoard a large amount of mung beans like in previous years..."

"That's true!"

Shen Chucheng asked: "What's the price now?"

"It's 2100. If you want more, we can negotiate for 2000. However, the goods in my hand have all been reserved by customers who came the day before yesterday. If you are sure to accept it, I will find a source of goods for you."

Shen Chucheng looked at Lin Baiyao, meaning to make a show of doing a complete set, and asked him to say that the price was a bit high, and he should go back and think about it.

Lin Baiyao asked, "Does the customer who buys your mung beans seem to do this business often?"

The boss smiled and said: "I'm very similar to you. They must be new to this industry and don't smell much like beans..."

Don't underestimate these local traders. People who do business have poisonous eyes. Lin Baiyao knew it well and said: "Okay, the price given by the boss is real. I will go back to discuss with the partners and come back if necessary."

After leaving the store, Ye Sushang couldn't help but ask: "What is Hubula? Why were all the mung beans in previous years sold to them?"

Shen Chucheng explained: "Hubula is a kind of bird. This kind of bird is relatively fierce and predatory, but it can be eaten in captivity and eat mung beans. So people in the mung bean industry call them Hubula."

As if he had said this, Ye Sushang looked confused and said: "What next?"
