Chapter 692: Overwhelmed

Should the contract be delayed, but the delivery should be brought forward as soon as possible?

Although Jerome is not as discerning as Luka, he is also an old man who has been in the financial world for decades, so he immediately reacted and asked with surprise, "Has the British economy changed?"

Without waiting for Chen Dahe to speak, his face changed again, "Downing Street will not budge?

Emma was right, the information Lukka had gathered was not a secret, but most people didn't think there was anything to be taken seriously, and Jerome was clearly one of them.

"That's right," Chen Dahe leaned back, leaned back on the sofa, and chuckled softly, "That's why I called you over today, how is our bank's investment in the UK now?"

"Sink too deep," a wry smile appeared on the corner of Jerome's mouth, as if he was still thinking about how likely this situation was, and said casually, "All the securities and real estate are worth more than 1.3 billion pounds, of which the cost is 800 million, and the remaining 500 million is floating profits, if your judgment comes true, it is impossible for us to withdraw in such a short time!

Jerome looked at him suspiciously, "Sir, is this really going to happen? Neither the European continent nor the United States wants this to happen!"

If it weren't the boss who said this, Jerome would definitely squirt him in the face and let the workers strike, is the owner of Downing Street stupid?!

"Whether it will happen or not depends on how the United States and Europe are," Chen Dahe waved his hand and pointed to the West, "The decision is in the hands of that lady, just like two years ago, I told you that she would use tough measures to revitalize the economy, and you didn't believe it at that time, so what was the result?"

Jerome looked at him stunned, and after a moment, he took a deep breath and then said, "I understand, but I really don't have time to deal with this asset, however, I will arrange a hedging operation in the futures market, which should be able to recover the loss, and,"

Speaking of this, Jerome paused slightly and glanced at Chen Dahe deeply, "In case of your decision-making mistakes, trading on margin will also minimize losses, and there should still be a surplus overall." ”

Well, he still didn't believe it a little, but he had to carry it out because of his boss's decision.

However, Chen Dahe did not mind, the current Third International Bank is far from the original city private bank with two or three big cats and small cats, and when making any investment decisions, risk prevention and control should be the first priority, and it is impossible to play any all-attack and defense tricks like before.

In fact, including Luka, who firmly believes in the forecast, does not mean that he will put all the funds on it, after all, this is only a short-term action, although the movement will be a little bigger, but it will not affect the long-term layout of the entire fund, betting on the rapid development of the European and American economies in three to four years The expectation will not change.

However, in the case of knowing the results, Chen Dahe will not let go of the good money and not make it, and cheapen others for nothing.

Standing up and walking to the window, looking at the Limmat River outside, Chen Dahe turned his head to look at Jerome, "Just bet with 500 million pounds and 5% leverage, and bet on half a month of stock index futures!"

500 million pounds, leverage 10 billion funds, even if there is a case, because his butterfly fanned the strike, he can afford to lose this money, if the result is still the same, it will be more than 2 billion gains, playing finance, is so exciting.

Half-month stock index futures?Jerome thought for a moment, and then blurted out, "When to place a bet?"

Chen Dahe leaned sideways and smiled slightly, "A week later." ”

A week later, half a month later, it will be the middle of March, so it is estimated that the strike time predicted by the boss is before March 10th, Jerome gasped and took 500 million pounds to gamble on the time node, which is no different from playing betting points in the casino!

But looking at Chen Dahe's firm eyes, Jerome knew that persuasion was useless, it was nothing more than 500 million pounds, and he could afford to lose, and it would have no effect if he delayed the negotiation time, but what if he was won!

Unlike the scrappy Luca and Emma, Jerome was dejected when he left, and although he now controls two multi-billion-dollar companies, it hurts to think that 500 million pounds may be wasted.

Only Chen Dahe sat firmly in Diaoyutai and paid attention to the development of the situation in his spare time.

As time passed, information came back from different directions.

First of all, because of the crazy sweep of goods by mysterious buyers, the international grain spot and futures prices both soared, adding a chill to Africa, which was still warm and cold, and at this time, a news spread all over the world.

At the end of February and the beginning of March, as a result of protests against the United Nations Food and Agriculture Agency's delay in fulfilling its aid pledges, within a week, more than 100,000 African victims attacked 13 large oil fields and oil storage depots, all of which are the industries of several of the world's largest oil companies today, killing dozens of people and injuring several thousand.

The US authorities, who have been criticized for their many more, have finally stepped up their efforts to deny all the accusations, and on the other hand, they have stepped up their grain purchases, organizing a batch of millions of tons of corn and soybeans to be shipped to Africa within three days.

The Americas are already the world's largest grain producing region, and with the power of the U.S. government, this figure has nothing to boast about.

Just when the wind of international public opinion on the United States was reversed and international food prices rose again, another piece of news once again occupied the front page of the mainstream media in Europe and the United States.

A company claiming to be the Five Continents Grain Group suddenly appeared and held a press conference in Egypt, according to the information released at the conference, it was found that it had sold more than 8 million tons of grain to Africa at low prices, of which 2 million tons came from international purchases, and they also bought a large amount of useless land and mine resources in the hope of helping Africa tide over the difficulties.

In addition, Wuzhou Grain Group also announced this year's grain planting plan, on the basis of last year's 24 grain bases, 36 new grain production bases, a total of 60, and the use of the most advanced agricultural technology for construction and management, the total grain output is expected to exceed 18 million tons!

The news immediately caused an uproar in the world, which is simply the conscience of the business community!

International food prices have fallen, especially futures prices, which will fall below the price line before the drought broke out in Africa, and Emma also received an invitation from the four major grain merchants to attend the Global Food Production Plan meeting in New York, USA a month later.

At this time, it was March 10th, four days back, and on March 6, the day after Emma held a press conference, the British miners' union suddenly announced that due to the breakdown of negotiations, a national coal mine strike would be held to protest the authorities' economic reform plan, and the strike was officially launched on the same day.

On the day the news was released, the London stock market plummeted, and the next day, major stock markets such as New York, Paris, and Tokyo fell one after another, and hundreds of billions of dollars of funds evaporated in an instant, and Western countries were in mourning.

Hmm, is it time to celebrate that there is hope for Africa, or sympathize with the shrinking wallets of the people around them who buy stocks?
