While Ding Le was pondering, a QQ message popped up in the lower right corner of the computer desktop, which successfully attracted his attention.

"LME copper prices have once again broken through the $5,000 mark and are expected to continue to rise!"

At this moment, Ding Le, who was worried about money, lit up, and a new idea immediately appeared.

If we were to move the clock forward by a year, standing at the threshold of 2010, and looking back at the most profitable investment opportunities in 2009, I believe that most investment managers would choose the commodity market.

In the aftermath of the financial crisis in 2008, governments around the world pursued aggressive fiscal policies and loose monetary policies as a way to stimulate economic growth.

By mid-2009, the effects of "ultra-loose" economic stimulus policies around the world began to appear, with China taking the lead in confirming recovery, and EU countries also showing signs of recovery to varying degrees.

While economists are still debating whether the economy will move in a "V" or "W" shape, commodities are already in full swing and the impact of the economic crisis is not in sight.

International commodity prices continued to rise, fueled by global liquidity, a weaker US dollar and China's economic stimulus package. Among them, the price trend of oil, gold and copper is the most conspicuous.

International oil prices rose from $45 to $85 barrels, an 88% increase in oil prices.

The international gold price rose from a low of US$801 per ounce to US$1,226 per ounce, not only hitting a record high again, but also ushering in the largest bull market since 2001.

LME copper prices rose from $3,077.5 to $6,898, and also broke through the $7,000 mark during the period, up 123.6% for the year.

Because of the touch of QQ News, Ding Le thought of going to the commodity market to do a vote, so as to raise more funds for Weibo's acquisition of Google China.

He decisively opened the wind financial terminal, clicked on the interface of the commodity, and began to search for the object he was about to hunt. After careful analysis, he finally chose LME copper as his target.

After making a decision, the gloomy expression on Ding Le's face suddenly brightened, he picked up the phone on the table, dialed the internal line and called Xia Xiao and Cao Shengyuan over.

"How much money do you have left in the company's account? You make a budget and give me a maximum amount that I can use!"

After Xia Xiao came in, before he could sit down, Ding Le ordered him to get up.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Xia Xiao has always been a brainless blind obedience to Ding Le's decision, and she didn't have the idea of asking more questions, she was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Ding Le.

"Wait a minute, I still have something to say, wait for Chief Cao to come in!"

Cao Shengyuan walked into the office slower than Xia Xiao, and when he came in, he was a little embarrassed to see Ding Le and Xia Xiao waiting for him.

"I answered a phone call and was delayed for two minutes......"

He was about to explain, but was interrupted by Ding Le waving his hand: "Lao Cao, have you paid attention to the prices in the commodity market recently?"

"Which kind of oil, gold, or copper?"

Cao Shengyuan has been paying attention to the commodity market for a long time, and as soon as Ding Le started, he said the key points.

Ding Le motioned for the two to sit down as he spoke, and said, "What do you think of the price trend of LME copper?"

"This year, LME copper prices have experienced a wave of sweaty rises, and at this time, the best time to enter the market has missed the best time to open a position, and the risk of the futures market is even more difficult to grasp!"

Cao Shengyuan seemed to have guessed Ding Le's intentions, and he came up like pouring cold water on the boss, hoping that the boss would not be rash and confused by this hot market.

Standing at this point in time, Cao Shengyuan is right, but Ding Le still has his own ideas for choosing LME copper.

He did not respond positively to Cao Shengyuan, but asked rhetorically: "Have you analyzed this wave of copper price rises, and what is the logic behind it?"

Cao Shengyuan saw that the boss was interested in the school funds, so he no longer hid his clumsiness, and he responded seriously: "Overall, in addition to the economic stimulus plans of major economies such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union, our strong demand in China is also an important reason for the rise in copper prices." ”

Ding Le nodded slightly, Cao Shengyuan's views were basically the same as his. In addition to the State Reserve's overseas storage action at the $3,000 position, the government's 4 trillion investment plan, the national grid transformation plan, the non-ferrous metal revitalization plan, and the home appliance to the countryside plan have all stimulated the demand for copper.

"According to our national conditions, the strong demand in the domestic market will continue for some time, so I think there is room for LME copper prices to rise further!"

Although Ding Le made a decision, Cao Shengyuan still said bluntly: "Compared with the stock market, the volatility of the futures market is more violent, and it is also an overseas market, please make a careful decision from Mr. Ding!"

"I know what you want, and I don't plan to go into battle myself!"

Relying on the memory of his previous life, Ding Le only has a general impression of the annual trend of LME copper, and if he wants to really make real money from the market, he also needs to invite professionals to operate.

It's not that he is arrogant, even with the aura of rebirth, Ding Le has never underestimated the wisdom of professionals in this era.

Due to the times, they may not be as knowledgeable as they are in some aspects. For example, I don't know that the iPhone will be updated to the 7th generation, let alone what WeChat and Douyin are, but it doesn't mean that they are poor in their ability to judge the situation.

On the contrary, because they have been fighting in the market for a long time, they are even more keen and sharp in grasping that fleeting opportunity, far better than their own half-.

Xia Xiao saw that Cao Shengyuan was not very supportive, so he took the initiative to stand up and said: "Ah Le's investment vision is definitely not wrong, you have to believe him!"

The relationship between Xia Xiao and Ding Le is not a secret in the company, and she has never shied away from it, in front of Cao Shengyuan, she called Ding Le intimately, also to show her attitude.

"What does that require me to do?"

Cao Shengyuan saw that he couldn't change his boss's decision, so he quickly adjusted his thoughts. Don't say no to your boss in the workplace, this is the first rule in the workplace.

"Due to the restrictions of the cross-border market, this operation will be dominated by the team of the Black Panther Fund!"

Ding Le's target is LME copper, so when it comes to traders, the first thing he thinks of is Gao Renqiang, but this time the target is the futures market, and the Black Panther Fund will definitely add a few more professional traders.

After Xia Xiao and Cao Shengyuan left, he changed his body, learned from the big brother who took the lead in Hong Kong dramas, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and flipped out Gao Renqiang's phone number from the address book.

"Ah Qiang, have you been making a lot of money lately?"

Whenever he talks to Gao Renqiang, Ding Le will think of the stupid Qiang in the movie "Infernal Affairs", the person who always says "I'm stupid" in the movie, although Gao Renqiang is not stupid at all.

"Big guy, what are you looking for me!"

On the other end of the phone, Gao Renqiang was in a hurry for a while, still talking about a thick Hong Kong Pu.

"I have a new chance to grab money, you buy the earliest ticket tomorrow and fly over, and we will talk in detail in person!"
