"Anyone else buying copper?"

In the City of London, at the headquarters of the Bright Fund, George Berkeley, who was handling official business in the office, frowned slightly.

The subordinate in front of him nodded and said: "Yes, I communicated with the Locke Fund, it was not their person, I just thought it was a normal raw material procurement at first, but it is definitely not a coincidence that I have encountered this kind of competitor one after another, I have already ordered someone to investigate where they came from." ”

George Berkeley's brows stretched, and after thinking for a while, he ordered: "Increase the intensity of acquisition, and the purchase price can be adjusted according to the price of futures, and the speed and quantity cannot be left behind!"

The market is always changing.

After Sumitomo Corporation's sudden efforts, the situation has gone in a better direction for Bright Fund, which has exceeded George Berkeley's expectations, and the rally of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures is quite gratifying.

In this case, if the speed of purchasing spot cannot be improved, the price of spot will also rise, and the early reluctance to raise the price of the acquisition, and the later will also have to spend a high price to buy.

Rather than that, it would be better to raise the premium earlier and buy more spot contracts.

Anyway, George Berkeley is confident that his capital is strong enough, and he can always make money back when he is reluctant to sell.

"Understood!" the subordinate replied in a loud voice.

"Go ahead, hurry up!"

George Berkeley waved his hand and dismissed his subordinates.

......

At the headquarters of the Bank of Bahrain, just a few hundred meters from the Bright Fund, Peter Nils was in a bad mood.

The news reported by the subordinates who were responsible for the acquisition of metal copper and metal aluminum spot contracts gave him a very bad premonition.

Of course, in addition to being depressed, there are also some blessings.

Fortunately, I decided to buy the spot contract, only to find out that the enemy was already secretly hoarding Juqi.

If it hadn't been detected in advance, by the time it broke out, the losses of the Bank of Bahrain would have been even greater.

So, who is buying the copper and aluminum spot contracts?

Bright Fund?

Sumitomo Trading?

Or maybe it's the Howard family's Rock Fund?

Shaking his head slightly, retracting his divergent thoughts, with a hint of expectation, Peter Nils looked at Jack Colassi, the executive in charge of buying the spot sitting opposite, and asked, "Jack, do you know who is buying the spot contract? How many have they already acquired?"

Jack Colassie shook his head in Peter Niels' disappointed gaze and said: "President, I launched a relationship to inquire and knew that there are two of them, one is Rossi Trading Company, and the other is Cosdy Company, but unfortunately, I have never heard of these two companies before, I asked many people, and I also said that I don't know, they were all unknown before, I guess it should be a shell company, and from the information found by the industrial and commercial department, the equity has been processed, and it is impossible to find out who is behind it in a short time." ”

Peter Niels, though regretful, nodded understandingly, not blaming him.

The fact that the enemy is so cautious shows that it has definitely been planned for a long time.

It is undoubtedly quite foolish for the Bank of Bahrain to venture into the futures market.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now.

If you think about it carefully, these two companies are definitely not all of them, and there must be other shell companies that are also buying spot contracts, although the people behind them can't be found, but they should be one or more of the Bright Fund, Rock Fund and Sumitomo Corporation.

Suddenly, a sense of anxiety rose in Peter Niels's heart.

He thought about it, picked up the phone, dialed the phone of the chairman, Bartit Balin, and the person who answered the phone was a servant, and Peter Nils immediately identified himself and asked him to call Ballyt Balin.

Soon, Barther Balin, who was watering the flowers, dropped the watering can and returned to the living room to answer the phone.

Peter Nils immediately relayed the situation reported by Jack Colassie, and then offered his own opinion.

“...... President, this is the case, I suggest that we increase the intensity of spot acquisitions as soon as possible, and buy as many spot contracts as possible, which can reduce our losses, and if we make more acquisitions, we may be able to turn losses into profits. ”

“......”

"Okay, I see, I'll do it right away!"

"Smack!"

After hanging up the phone, Peter Niels's face turned grim, and he instructed Jack Colassie: "Jack, the chairman has approved, I will mobilize $300 million for you today and do my best to buy spot contracts, understand?"

Jack Colassi nodded sharply and replied solemnly: "Understand, I will do my best!"

"Wait, be careful not to let Philip Brothers know that we are buying spot contracts. ”

Just as Jack Colassie turned to leave, Peter Nils suddenly called out to him and gave him a special word.

Their Bahrain Bank is going to be a backwater, so naturally they can't let the London branch of Philip Brothers know, otherwise it will only be bad and not good for Bahrain Bank.

Although the Bank of Bahrain and Philip Brothers were allies a few days ago, the world is unpredictable, and now it is not!

"I remember!" Peter Nils said, nodding heavily.

"Well, go ahead, come on!"

After seeing Jack Corasi's figure disappear in the doorway, Peter Nils frowned and thought about it, and for a long time, he let out a long sigh, but the sorrow between his brows did not melt.

As many parties are going all out, not only the waves in the exchange, but also the public opinion outside the exchange has not stopped.

As for secretly, not to mention, many people feel the more turbulent and dangerous undercurrents hidden beneath the waves.

It's Monday again.

Before the market opened, the London Metal Exchange was overcrowded, and everyone looked at the huge electronic trading board, and from time to time they exchanged their heads and talked about the trend of such and such a company or some kind of futures.

A lot of the talk was about LME copper futures and LME aluminium futures.

There is no way, these two futures are the most volatile and the most talked about during this time.

Although it is a melon-eating masses, it is also necessary to be a tasteful and high-grade melon-eating masses and specialize in eating good melons.

At this moment, I don't know who shouted: "Open it!"

Suddenly, everyone fell silent and looked at the trading board in unison.

The silence lasted only two seconds.

When seeing the real-time quotes on the trading board, there were exclamations and noises in the exchange.

LME copper futures jumped at the open, opening at $1,462/mt, $12/mt higher than Friday's close.

LME aluminum futures also jumped at the open, opening at $2,964/mt, $21/mt higher than last Friday's close.

The bulls are still awesome!

Immediately afterwards, I saw that the prices of these two futures began to vibrate violently, and the bears were exerting their strength.

It's just that the power of the bears is not as strong as that of the bulls.

After struggling for five or six minutes, the bears showed signs of decline, and the prices of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures began to climb steadily.

Time and space flickered, and my eyes moved to New York, USA, on the other side of the Atlantic.

When it was time to go to work, John Guuffran arrived at Salomon Brothers.

"Good morning, Chairman!"

"Anna, you look prettier again!"

"Chairman ......"

John Guuffran greeted the staff with a smile and, as he got on the elevator, pulled out a newspaper from the newsstand.

Just as he was sitting down in his office, a subordinate knocked on the door and walked in, reporting to him a piece of news that made him smile.

"Chairman, according to the news from the UK, the LME copper futures price has risen to $1,486 / ton, and the LME aluminum futures price has risen to $3,001 / ton. ”

Hearing these two data, John Guuffran made a quick calculation in his heart, and after comparing the closing prices of copper futures and aluminum futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange last Friday, he couldn't help but close his eyes, his face full of confusion and depression.
