Chapter 217: Suspicion Gives Rise to Dark Ghosts
Liu Zhongzhou's eyes widened: "You are not big or small!"
His daughter said disapprerovingly, "Originally!"
His daughter's words made Liu Zhongzhou, who had all kinds of conjectures about the reasons for the price increase, muttered again, and he secretly pondered while drinking: What this girl said is not unreasonable, her move to short 20,000 tons in the futures market, although it has been limited to the top of the group to know the news, but there is no impermeable wall, maybe someone in the market has already known the news, and he has unknowingly become the target of others.
In fact, he had such worries before, and when he first started to open a position, he asked for a strict lockdown of the news at a high-level meeting to prevent potential opponents from knowing about this trade secret.
But later, as time went by, Liu Zhongzhou himself relaxed his sense of confidentiality of this news, and now thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh: Even he will be negligent, let alone those under him?
He carefully recalled the price trend since the opening of the position, and from his experience over the years, his judgment of the price in the past was very accurate, that is, with such confidence, he dared to short at a high level according to his own judgment.
But the reality is that since the opening of the position, the futures price trend has been against itself, and whenever he orders to open a position to sell, even if there is news of the sell-off as a background, the price still continues to rise.
Could it be that as his daughter said, his actions were completely known to his opponents, which pushed up the price in the futures market and killed himself?
It's not impossible, but who would do this? And who would have the financial strength to oppose him? Liu Zhongzhou couldn't think of a reason.
How much money did the group spend on selling 20,000 tons, he knew very well in his heart, if he wanted to go against himself and push up the price, he didn't have twice his financial strength to think about it.
For this alone, Liu Zhongzhou can't imagine any company in the province that would dare to do this.
If you jump out of the non-ferrous metal industry, there are many enterprises with financial strength, but the problem is that even if the financial strength is not a problem, if you want to get involved in the non-ferrous metal industry, you must at least have an understanding of this industry, right?
If you don't spend a year and a half studying the smelting and price trend of copper, and know what to expect, who would rush into an unfamiliar industry?
With this article, Liu Zhongzhou couldn't imagine who the opponent would be.
As the saying goes, suspicion gives rise to dark ghosts, and this sentence that my daughter said unintentionally made Liu Zhongzhou think about it before and after, and felt more and more that the market trend since the opening of the position was a little weird, as if someone was targeting him, as if there was an invisible big hand manipulating it in secret.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhongzhou couldn't help but sweat a little on his back: If this is just his own blind guess, if it is true, then he will not be played by others!
He really wanted to talk to someone at the moment, but he didn't know who to talk to for a while.
Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang were the first people he thought of, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was a little inappropriate to tell them.
Judging from his analysis just now, even if there is such an opponent, it should not be someone who is familiar with Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang, such a person will only be from outside the province and quite familiar with the rules of futures trading.
Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang didn't know anything about this, and they wouldn't gain anything by talking to them.
In addition, there is only one person, and that is Li Xin.
Liu Zhongzhou's wife saw that he suddenly stopped talking, just lowered her head and drank alcohol, so she said, "What do you want? Don't drink and eat more. ”
Liu Zhongzhou didn't seem to hear his wife's words, turned to his daughter and said, "Go to the study and bring my mobile phone." ”
Her daughter put down her chopsticks and went to the study to take Liu Zhongzhou's mobile phone and handed it to him, Liu Zhongzhou took it and immediately dialed Li Xin's mobile phone.
Li Xin was eating fish with Jiang Xiaolan and a few of them in the fishing village at this time, and when he received a call from Liu Zhongzhou, he felt very strange in his heart, although he is still nominally Liu Zhongzhou's assistant, but for a long time, Liu Zhongzhou rarely calls him after work, even if he has something to inform him, it is all told by Wu Yunyu.
After there are differences of opinion on futures operation, Liu Zhongzhou will not look for him, and now he will call in person at this time on weekend night, what will be the urgency?
Li Xin hurriedly answered the phone and asked, "Chairman, hello." ”
Liu Zhongzhou didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Do you think it is possible that the news of our operation on futures will be leaked?"
Li Xin didn't expect Liu Zhongzhou to come to such a sentence, but he really couldn't guess what Liu Zhongzhou meant.
He was originally worried that Liu Zhongzhou would convene someone for a meeting tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or something, so he called to let himself attend the meeting or prepare some materials for him, so that he could only end the trip early and rush back tonight with Jiang Xiaolan and the others.
However, hearing Liu Zhongzhou say this, it didn't seem like there was a meeting arrangement, so Li Xin put his heart down first, and then asked strangely: "Chairman, why do you ask that?"
Liu Zhongzhou said: "We hold 20,000 tons, is it possible that we will become the target of sniping after the news is leaked?"
Li Xin said: "It is theoretically possible, but who would do it?"
"It doesn't really matter who does this, what matters is whether anyone does it," Liu said. ”
Li Xin said: "Is there any news that someone has done this?"
Liu Zhongzhou said: "Not yet. But you see, the price has been going up since we opened the position, and the strange thing is that every time we open the position, the price will skyrocket, is it just a coincidence? Could it be that someone is targeting us and trying to beat our idea, as I just said?"
When Li Xin heard this, he understood Liu Zhongzhou's thoughts.
He said: "Chairman, unless there is definite news, I think this is very unlikely. It should be a coincidence that the price rises after we open a position, and whoever pulls up the price against us will lose more than it gains. Our position is established separately in the second half of the five contracts, the total position on these contracts is two or three million tons, our 20,000 tons only accounts for about one percent of the total, who wants to raise the price of the other two or three million tons for our 20,000 tons, the risk is greater than ours, who will do this, not cost-effective, right? Unless it is the other way around, if we raise the price of 20,000 tons, we can target the total position of two or three million tons, which is cost-effective. ”
As soon as Li Xin explained this, Liu Zhongzhou immediately understood and said, "That's right." ”
After saying that, he didn't bother anymore, hung up the phone, and continued to drink his wine.
Liu Zhongzhou's style of saying the same thing within the group, Li Xin is already very familiar with it, at any time, as long as Liu Zhongzhou finishes speaking, unless he still wants to listen to your explanation, the conversation will be over.
So Li Xin was not surprised by Liu Zhongzhou's sudden hanging up of the phone, listening to the phone call that suddenly had no sound, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought: It seems that Liu Zhongzhou is a little anxious, otherwise he would not have thought of the truth here.
To be honest, Li Xin has been doing futures for so long, and he has never really seen such a heavyweight opponent.
Whether it was before or now, there must be opponents who are heavier than Liu Zhongzhou, but they are all invisible, Li Xin doesn't know who they are, just like they don't know who Li Xin is.
Unless they are in the same futures company, they are still familiar with each other and are willing to talk about their positions, otherwise, who will know who will be in the counterparty's market?
In the past, when he was in the sugar company, Li Xin was short, and Tang Jianhua was bullish, but Tang Jianhua bought sugar in a sugar factory, unlike Li Xin who operated in the futures market, so strictly speaking, although Tang Jianhua was not light at that time, he was not Li Xin's opponent for shorting sucrose.
But Liu Zhongzhou is different, the 20,000 tons he sold are all traded in the futures market, and the position is ten times that of Li Xin, this kind of capital scale has two or three hundred million opponents, Li Xin is the first time to see it.
And no matter how the market will go in the future, Li Xin is often nervous about holding 2,000 tons of volume, Liu Zhongzhou dares to sell ten times the amount, and his courage also makes Li Xin secretly admire: Even if he has such a large amount of money in his hand, whether he dares to do such a large amount, Li Xin has no score in his heart.
When he was in the company, especially at the venue, Liu Zhongzhou's strength made Li Xin feel that his confidence was unusually firm, and he didn't frown in the face of huge losses.
This is one of the reasons why although he is bullish, he is still worried in his heart.
But now Liu Zhongzhou, the representative of the air side who is extremely firm in Li Xin's eyes, has inadvertently shown a panicked side, which makes Li Xin feel an indescribable joy, if even Liu Zhongzhou is afraid, doesn't this mean that the air side is facing collapse next?
Li Xin was sure that Liu Zhongzhou didn't know how much he was doing, otherwise, the cunning Liu Zhongzhou would definitely not confide in him this kind of worry.
It seems that it is beneficial to be invisible in front of your opponents.
In fact, in Liu Zhongzhou's view, it is also forced to talk about Li Xin about this, if it was at the venue, he would not have confided such worries, let alone Li Xin, even to a confidant like Huang Hongliang, he would not say this in public.
But now that he is communicating privately over the phone, his guard is not so strong.
