Chapter 1563: Hope to Create Brilliant Results Again

"The relationship is very big." Liu Huansheng said, "In the third quarter of last year, domestic white sugar was in severe shortage. If it wasn't supplemented to the market as soon as possible, inflation would accelerate, which is very dangerous.

It was Zhou Andong who was entrusted with a critical mission and went to the international market to buy 700,000 tons of white sugar to curb the rapid expansion of inflation. At the same time, he shorted white sugar. And this 500 million US dollars was earned by him shorting white sugar."

Qian Zhendong was shocked. This matter was not a secret, but those who knew were all at the upper level. If the leader didn't say it, how could he know these things?

"What does the 500 million US dollar loan have to do with Zhou Andong?"

"That was lent to us by Qiu Dongfang." Liu Huansheng said, "Zhou Andong is the General Manager of Qiu Dongfang's domestic branch, and he put a lot of effort into this 500 million US dollar loan."

He didn't tell Qian Zhendong the true relationship between Qiu Dongfang and Zhou Andong. If he weren't the Minister of Finance, if Jian Lao hadn't personally called him to ask for those 50 million US dollars, he definitely wouldn't have known either.

Qian Zhendong's doubts became even heavier. Zhou Andong, a general manager of a domestic branch, could make the decision to lend us 500 million US dollars?

But doubts aside, this matter must be a fact, after all, the money was lying in the account, it definitely couldn't be fake.

"So that's how it is."

Liu Huansheng said seriously, "This 1 billion US dollars, a part of it is to establish the China Grain Fund, and the other part is the R&D fund for the Beidou navigation system. You cannot misappropriate it without authorization."

"I understand." How could Qian Zhendong not know the severity? If this money was misappropriated, he, the director, would definitely retire early.

"You don't have to worry about money either." Liu Huansheng's tone relaxed again. "Shorting white sugar, the 500 million US dollar profit is not all of it, there is still a part that hasn't been settled."

Qian Zhendong's spirit was immediately lifted. "How much money is left?"

Liu Huansheng laughed. "Probably more than 100 million US dollars, I don't know exactly how much."

"More than 100 million US dollars?"

Qian Zhendong's spirit, which had just been lifted, immediately became like a deflated ball.

If it were yesterday, he would definitely be very excited to know there was 100 million US dollars.

But in front of 1 billion US dollars, this 100 million US dollars couldn't lift his spirits.

"You still think it's too little?" Liu Huansheng said irritably. "You have also seen Qiu Dongfang's ability to make money, so this money should be left to Qiu Dongfang to continue operating."

Qian Zhendong asked unwillingly, "Four months, 50 million US dollars earned more than ten times. Then this time we left more than 100 million US dollars, after four months, could we receive a profit of more than 2 billion US dollars?"

"Are you dreaming?" Liu Huansheng said irritably. "Do you think speculating in futures is playing house? You want to earn as much as you want? You want to earn money whenever you want?"

How could Qian Zhendong not know, he was just a bit unwilling.

Watching the big fat meat in the bowl, but unable to eat it, it's greedy.

Liu Huansheng said, "Shorting white sugar, Qiu Dongfang didn't charge a commission, but next time, they definitely will. Even if they don't charge, we have to give it, we can't always let people work for free."

Qian Zhendong gave a dry laugh. "No money, aren't I anxious?"

"Who isn't anxious." Liu Huansheng said. "Alright, let's leave it at that."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

A busy tone came from Qian Zhendong's receiver, letting him slowly put down the phone, seeing the young man still standing there without leaving.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"Leader!" The young man asked with a smile. "That money, what exactly is it for?"

Qian Zhendong sighed, picked up the cigarette on the table, pulled one out and put it in his mouth, and then heard a click, the young man had already held the lighter in front of him.

Qian Zhendong tilted his head slightly and lit the cigarette. "Did you see the news today?"

The young man shook his head. "No!"

"The country is going to develop the Beidou navigation system?" Qian Zhendong took a deep puff of the cigarette. "This money is the R&D fund, the Minister just called and seriously explained that the money must be used for its specific purpose and absolutely cannot be misappropriated."

"This is foreign exchange." The young man said unwillingly. "R&D fund, wouldn't RMB be enough?"

Qian Zhendong said irritably. "What's being developed is a navigation system, do you think this money is just for paying the wages of scientific researchers? Equipment and materials, don't they have to be bought?"

The young man sighed and turned to walk out. "I'm going back."

Qian Zhendong shook his head helplessly, thinking that Qiu Dongfang still had more than 100 million US dollars, hoping to continue to create brilliant results again, and earn him more money, so that he could be scolded less.

Qian Zhendong leaned against the back of the chair, holding the ashtray, his thoughts drifting to the sky again.

Still thinking about how Zhou Andong, a general manager of a domestic branch, could have such great influence to let the headquarters lend 500 million US dollars to the central authorities.

Is it because of Zhou Andong's ability? It should be one reason, but definitely not all of it.

Immediately after, he thought that Qiu Dongfang was a financial investment company and invested in many industries in the country.

And Qiu Dongfang's headquarters building in Beijing had already started construction, if looked at this way.

In the future, Qiu Dongfang's investment focus would definitely be in the country, then this 500 million US dollar loan would be easy to understand.

After all, to invest and do business in the country, this 500 million US dollar loan should be goodwill released to the central authorities.

……………………

At this time, Zhou Andong had just finished eating, and Wu Hongkang came to the door carrying gifts, followed by Brother Chuanfu.

"You came, and you're not an outsider, why bring things."

Zhou Andong said, but his hands were not slow, taking the things from Wu Hongkang's hands.

"I say, Old Wu, you are too stingy. It's the New Year, and you only brought this little bit of stuff?"

Wu Hongkang said irritably. "How come your mouth talks like farting? Just said we are not outsiders, how come in the blink of an eye, you complain that the gift is small?"

"Old Wu!" Zhou Andong said earnestly. "Because of our relationship, you don't need to bring gifts, and I would definitely welcome you. But since you brought them, and you are so perfunctory, it makes my heart cold, proving our relationship is not good."

Wu Hongkang reached out to snatch the gift back. "Fine, our relationship is not good, right? Give me the things, I'm leaving."

Zhou Andong dodged to the side. "Don't be like this, although my heart is cold now, if you go buy some more, won't my heart be hot?"

"Get lost!" Wu Hongkang pushed Zhou Andong away and looked at Jian Qiu with a smile. "Sister-in-law, where are your father-in-law and mother-in-law, I'll go pay them a New Year's visit."

Jian Qiu said with a smile. "I'll take you there."

"Good!" Wu Hongkang nodded and followed Jian Qiu inside.

Zhou Andong also smiled, took the gift from Brother Chuanfu's hands, and handed it to a nanny.

"Met last Spring Festival, no news for a year, how is the preparation going?"

Brother Chuanfu smiled bitterly. "Having a boss like you, I am in pain and happy."
