Volume 3 Chapter 63 A conspiracy that is finally exposed to the sun

After getting the $10 billion borrowed by Ali, Li Sheng finally had enough funds in his hands. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

His previous estimates were a bit wrong, five billion dollars, three times leverage, although it can support a 33% price reduction of soybeans. But he has been passive, and in the end it is one thing whether he can get back to his roots. And with this 10 billion, he can pit Cargill and other large grain companies.

This time he was no longer as cautious as before, and directly applied for a twelve-fold leverage to operate. In three days, a new $5 billion soybean long position.

It's just that he still operates by himself, so every order is a big order. Although it is eye-catching, it is not a stirring market.

Jamie Plante, of course, has been keeping an eye on Li Sheng's movements in the soybean futures market. Previously, Li Sheng let soybean futures fall for more than a week, neither buying to lower the average price, nor closing the position, that kind of unreasonable operation made him feel that there was a problem, but he couldn't catch the problem. Now that he saw that Li Sheng finally made a move, he also put his heart down.

Although Li Sheng's capital can use leverage to pull a list of more than $60 billion, compared to the hot money of the whole world, $60 billion is not much.

However, he also noticed that there were also several large orders in Europe and the United States. But that only slowed the downward trend in soybean futures prices. He didn't think that these parties still had the power to return to heaven.

Although this plan may not be able to bring down Silent Farm, he feels that at least it will make Li Sheng have problems with funds. It would be best if Silent Farm's marketing efforts could be brought to a standstill.

In fact, Jamie Plante is targeting Silent Farm again because he senses that Silent Farm is invading the cattle fattening market. It is impossible for Fernando not know that the cattle farmer went to visit Fred's farm, not only did he not hide it, but also advertised it loudly.

The grass of the Silent Farm made him feel threatened after Fred's success. One of Cargill's main businesses is cattle fattening feed, and if Silent Farms were to enter the market in full, Cargill would lose control of Brazil's cattle industry. That's something he absolutely won't allow. Originally, he planned to use "legal" means to attack his opponent, but he couldn't find the handle of Silent Farm at all, and seeing that Fernando's plan was getting smoother and smoother, he had to use some conspiracy methods. It's just that those methods didn't work as intended.

Recently, Li Sheng seems to be crazy, and he wants to go against the market in soybean futures, which makes him feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. So he persuaded headquarters to push down soybean futures for March. And the reason for persuasion is precisely to suppress the Silent Farm, which has shown a strong threat.

Cargill's headquarters agreed to his suggestion. Of course, he hopes to make the Silent Farm lose more, and he is still a little disappointed that he didn't see Li Sheng continue to make moves in the futures market before. But now it seems that he still overestimated the IQ of the Chinese in the financial markets.

However, after he saw that Li Sheng had built a large order of five billion US dollars, he suddenly stopped placing orders, because he had already received the wind, and Li Sheng borrowed 10 billion US dollars. When he was disappointed, Snyder Falma called him out of the blue, smiled and said, "Jamie, what do you guess that Chinese person did?"

The two had worked together before, and had conspired together against Li Sheng. Plante, of course, understood who the Chinese were referring to: "What did that idiot do? ”

"Haha, not yet. But I want to be soon. Falma said with a sneer. "He's shorting stock options on Cargill. ”

Plante was stunned for a moment, laughed and said, "Maybe he thinks soybean futures are too difficult to pry, so try to pry our Cargill." But he's not a complete idiot, at least he knows that we did it. ”

If it was not known why Li Sheng suddenly broke into the soybean futures market, now Plante can be sure that it was to deal with Cargill. It's just that he really can't see what threat Li Sheng's actions pose to Cargill.

"For a friend who likes to give money, we really should be respectful. Falma teased. "You know what? He actually threw out a big order of 2.5 billion dollars at a time. However, it was obvious that this list could not meet the needs of the market, and only twenty minutes later, his list was divided. ”

"Maybe he's watching too many movies. Plante said with a smile. His words were interrupted by a knock on the door. "I have someone to look for here, thank you for the good news you brought me. "Yes, for him, the more Li Sheng behaves idiotically in the financial markets, the better it will be for Cargill Brazil.

He hung up the phone and let the knocker in. It was his beautiful secretary who came in. Today he was in a good mood, and there was a hint of color in his eyes.

It's just that this beauty has a hint of panic on her face: "Mr. Plante." The Port of Amsterdam refused to unload our soybeans. ”

"What? what's going on?" said Plante, who jumped up at the news. Only one shipment of soybeans has arrived at the Port of Amsterdam in the near future, but that shipment contains 65,000 tons. The goods are refused to be unloaded by the port, and the most likely thing is that there is a problem with the goods.

Sure enough, the assistant confirmed his wisdom: "Amsterdam customs detected that our soybean ******** exceeded the standard. ”

"Impossible!" Plante grew angry. "Our warehouse is equipped with humidity control equipment, and the test results half a month ago showed that everything was normal. ”

However, the results of the feedback from customers in the Netherlands showed that the ******** of that batch of soybeans exceeded the European standard by more than 300 times. The female assistant's face turned pale from being frightened by Plante's drinking. But she still told what she knew.

In fact, she didn't understand why Mr. President was so angry. Although there was a problem with a shipload of soybeans, it could also have been caused by improper storage during transportation. However, the president did not intend to investigate the cause first.

How did she know that as soon as Plante heard that there was a problem with soybeans, she immediately thought of what Falma had just called him.

Li Sheng is shorting Cargill's stock. However, there is a problem with the soybeans arriving in Hong Kong. Is this a coincidence?

With only one chuckle in his heart, he vetoed this possibility. He could scold Li Sheng for being an idiot, but he knew very well that Li Sheng couldn't be an idiot, otherwise he would have been able to play Silent Farm to death last time.

I didn't know Li Sheng's purpose before, but now he seems to have vaguely grasped the point.

Plante didn't care if the female assistant was still there, picked up the phone at the desk and dialed directly to the warehouse supervisor of the batch of soybeans: "I'm Jamie Plante, and I'll test the ******** content of soybeans in the warehouse immediately." ”

I didn't know how to answer him on the other end of the line.

"I say right away!" said Plante. "I'm going to know the results in two hours. Or you fuck off. ”

He snapped and hung up the phone, took a deep breath, although his face was still dark, but his tone was quite gentle: "Wendys, inform the department managers, the meeting will start in an hour." ”

"Yes, Mr. President. The female assistant turned and walked briskly out of the office.

In the next few days, on Brasilia's side, Plante was angry and anxious, and in Lisbon, Fernando was stunned by the world's dizzying wave of soybean returns, and he finally understood why Ali took billions to accompany Li Sheng crazy. He had to admit that Ali saw people more accurately than he did. He didn't expect Li Sheng to win against Cargill this time. Although he couldn't see why. But Li Sheng has already won.

And Ali, who is far away in the Middle East, is smiling. In less than three days, Cargill has rejected 12 batches of soybeans because they were found to have ******** exceeded. The 12 batches of soybeans are mainly from Brazil, but some are from the United States. But without exception, all of them belong to Cargill. It also led the U.S. and Brazilian governments to conduct sampling tests of Cargill-owned soybean warehouses in both countries.

The results were surprising. Most of Cargill's soybeans stored in the two countries are moldy. No wonder ******** exceeded.

As soon as the report came out, Cargill's stock price plummeted. Because the total amount of moldy soybeans in the two countries exceeds 12 million tons. These soybeans account for 80% of Cargill's soybean reserves worldwide, and most of them are due to be delivered by March.

While Cargill was scrambling to find a source to make up for the shortfall in contracted volumes, a negative message erupted again in Brazil: some farms in the Brazilian highlands were buying Cargill soybean seeds that simply did not germinate.

Two bullish news spread, and soybean futures for March began to soar.

After Li Sheng looked at the two curves, a sneer appeared on his face. After working for so long, the two mines he had planted were finally detonated. He thought maybe this time he would be able to make Cargill remember it a little longer.

Leaving the office, the sun was shining outside, and he didn't know if it was because he had been indoors for a long time during this time, or if he had just finished a series of intrigues, he felt that the sun was a little more dazzling than usual.

"Lee. Li Sheng stood on the railing outside the office and looked at the sea of flowers in the distance, and a call in the distance woke him up.

"Thomas. Looking for me?" he asked, looking back.

With a smile on his face, Thomas said, "The Gairola has arrived." Workers are on sea trials. ”

Li Sheng didn't expect the ship to be built so quickly: "Send it so quickly, there won't be a problem with the quality, right?"

"It's a steel-framed wooden boat, and there aren't many rainy days in the rainy season this year. They're building a lot faster, too. ”

Recently, the farm has been quieter, and Thomas has a lot less things on his hands, and has recently focused on the tourism business. In the past half month, the farm has received three tour groups. It's still minor, but at least it's a good start.

He smiled and said, "Would you like to go and see it?"

Li Sheng smiled and said, "I won't go." ”

Thomas also mentioned this, Li Sheng has been very busy recently, and he also feels that Li Sheng has no time to take care of such a trivial matter as a ship trial. In fact, from now on, Li Sheng will not be too busy, but he is a little tired during this time. I just want to put everything down for a while.

Thomas added: "One more thing, the polluted areas of the pasture have been basically removed, and the pollution monitoring of the pasture has found that the surrounding pasture has no detectable ******. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said with a smile: "You and Feng have worked hard these days!" This is great news. As long as the ****** is not detectable, it means that the amount of the poison is not enough to endanger the quality of the forage.

Seeing that he had nothing to explain, Thomas went to the airport and had him taken to the docks. (To be continued.) )
