For futures, Li Sheng is actually not very good at it, at best he only understands the rules. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoHe rashly invested in the soybean futures market, in which making money is only a secondary purpose, and the more important purpose is to make others lose money.

As a bait, his list certainly can't be eaten up by the prey at once. The method he used was to reduce the risk of liquidation, so he did not apply for a high leverage, but only applied for a triple. And he didn't put all the money in his pocket into it.

He has about $5.2 billion in available funds on hand, of which $4.2 billion is the cash he left over from the Sands and last year's sales profits, and $1 billion is from bank loans. He set up a long soybean order with a contract period of nearly $2.5 billion tomorrow in March on several exchanges at once.

His actions were like playing a game of Monopoly, and the speculative market in which the giant crocodiles were fed certainly made the giant crocodiles smell blood. The crocodiles are dismissive of such inexperienced and undisciplined operations, but they are not blind to money.

So his single order was gnawed off.

Li Sheng saw that his purchase order had been digested, but he just smiled and did not worry because of the strength of the short side. What he cares about is whether his actions have attracted the attention of Cargill.

He was right, and Cargill, the company that had been keeping an eye on the Silent Farm, certainly noticed his movements.

In fact, Li Sheng operates it himself, and there is only one real-name account in each exchange, as long as he is not blind, he can find out that he is operating.

When Jamie Plante received the news that Li Sheng suddenly entered the soybean futures market and heard that he had built a long contract for nearly $2.5 billion in soybean in March, his first reaction was not what Li Sheng was going to do, but called a new assistant. This time, his assistant was a blonde beauty, but he called the beauty not to have a cool hair, but to order: "I want to ask the headquarters if there is any change in the demand for soybeans in China next year." ”

After he waited for his assistant to leave, he clicked on various assessment reports of the soybean market. He wondered if Li Sheng's move had gotten some inside information that he hadn't discovered.

And he thinks the biggest possibility is that Li Sheng knows some changes in China's soybean demand next year. Huaxia is currently the country with the largest demand and import of soybeans, and has the greatest impact on the market. But he checked all the analysis reports and found no hint of any indication that China might cut soybean imports next year.

The soybean planting area in China should not change much, unless the Chinese people only eat meat next year, otherwise the demand for soybeans will not rise significantly. And why did Li Sheng go long against the market? Could it be that the Chinese suddenly became idiots?

Jamie Plante's fingers tapped on the table. Two and a half billion dollars is not a small amount, he thought for a while, and called his assistant again, asking her to check whether Li Sheng had taken a loan from the bank.

Although the bank where Li Sheng took out the loan was Huaxia Bank, of course it can still be found if someone wants to check it. The next day, the assistant handed over the results of the investigation to him. He saw that the four major banks in China jointly lent one billion dollars to Li Sheng, and there was collateral in it. Although he did not investigate what the collateral was, Jamie Plante could not think of anything other than the Silent Farm itself that could be pledged to a billion dollars.

On this day, Jamie Plante put down several schedules and locked up in his office to contact the U.S. headquarters for most of the day. No one knew what he said to HQ though.

However, within two days, Cargill announced that it would speed up the delivery of soybean orders. The market's evaluation of Cargill's move is that Cargill is not optimistic about the soybean market next year.

On this negative news, Chicago soybean futures fell four cents at the open. And it went down all day. A few days later, it eventually fell below 980 cents/bushel. This price is the lowest in four years.

When Li Sheng saw the news, he sneered. Obviously, Cargill knew about his actions and began to encircle him.

But he wasn't worried about losing money. In fact, he even went to the United States with great interest.

Now, Li Sheng is in the port of Chicago. It is one of the largest cities in the Great Lakes region and also has a large warehouse of Cargill. Although he can't get into the port. It was still Mo Ning who was driving, and Bai Qin was in the passenger seat. And Li Sheng sat in the back seat, his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was sleeping or thinking about things. Even if you open your eyes, you call someone and say what you're going to do. It seems to be plotting something.

The two people in the front seat are used to his appearance. It was like this in Brazil, and it's still the same when I come to the United States. They didn't seem to come to the U.S. for fun. Mo Ning even had some hunches that this boss might be trying to find a way to deal with Cargill.

Because before coming to the United States, Li Sheng asked him to investigate the situation of Cargill's warehouses in the United States, and this time he came to the eastern United States, almost all of them drove to the warehouses with the largest storage capacity of Cargill in his investigation report. Every time they arrived at such a place, they would park the car not far away, and then Li Sheng would close his eyes.

Chicago was only the last leg of Li Sheng's trip to the United States, and he returned to Brazil the day after arriving in Chicago.

On this day, when he turned on his computer to check the soybean market, Ali called him and said: "I have only borrowed $13 billion in short-term loans, and the shortest loan is $2.15 billion, which needs to be repaid within 47 days." ”

Li Sheng looked at the date, and it turned out that it was already the transfer date agreed with Ali. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Ali!" Ali was able to borrow so much money in just half a month, and he owed a lot of favor.

Ali smiled on the phone and said, "I would be happier if you could tell you what there is to make money." ”

Li Sheng's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "If you believe me, you can lend me 10 billion." The remaining three billion, you can operate on your own. ”

"What?"

"Soybeans. Go long!"

"Are you sure?" Ali Ke is different from Li Sheng. He has always made speculative investments and is still very good at futures. "You're not going to take 10 billion to go long soybeans, are you? ”

They were talking on satellite phones, which was more secure in terms of confidentiality, and Li Sheng did not hide it and said: "I can't say anything specifically." All in all, I think the soybean contract will rise significantly in March this year. And the results will be known in a few days. ”

Ali hesitated for a moment and said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow." Originally, he planned to shoot a private lawyer to come to Brazil tomorrow to sign a loan agreement with Li Sheng. Hearing Li Sheng say this, he immediately changed his mind.

"Good!"

"Can you inform Fernando?" Ali asked, after a moment's thought.

"Fernando doesn't seem to support me in doing that. Li Sheng did not reveal his plan to anyone, but anyone who had a heart could see his actions, and Fernando even called him to persuade him to withdraw from the speculative market.

"Okay. If he's not available, I'll go alone. Ali just felt that since Li Sheng dared to take such a big risk, he must be sure. He wanted to know what information Li Sheng had and dared to use tens of billions of dollars to manipulate soybeans against the market.

At noon the next day, Ali's A330 private jet landed directly at the airport in the southern district of Silent Farm. He is also flamboyant enough, knowing that his plane needs to land at other licensed airports before it can land at other airports. In other words, the plane had to take off and land twice from Kuwait to Silent Farm.

Li Sheng didn't expect him to fight so much. Luckily, the farm had a long enough runway. Otherwise, Ali would have to parachute down.

Ali got off the plane and couldn't help but smile when he saw the A350-1000 parked at the end. The plane was recommended by him, and Li Sheng was able to buy it, which also proved that he was not very vigilant.

He said to Li Sheng, who came to greet him: "Your plane is very beautiful. ”

Li Sheng said with a smile: "I do like it quite a lot, and the price is quite satisfactory." Thank you for your recommendation. ”

Alihaha smiled and said, "I knew you were more practical. I've actually seen the plane, but I prefer to set it up as I see it, like my own room. But I guess it must feel good on this plane. ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "I originally planned to take that plane back, which can be regarded as an experience flight." It's a pity that the farm had to come back early. I've been busy lately, and I haven't had time to hire a crew yet, so I haven't flown yet. ”

"Do you need my help? I mean the crew. ”

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "When I'm done, I plan to invite some Chinese people, so that it will be more convenient to communicate." ”

Ali smiled, nodded and said, "Indeed." ”

"Let's get in the car first, I've got lunch. ”

Because of the hot weather, Li Sheng drove a pickup truck. Receiving a real prince with a pickup, he may be the only one in the world. Ali didn't dislike it, let alone a pickup, he had ridden a camel. They picked up Tia at school before going back to the villa.

Ali's entourage did not follow, but was entertained by Thomas in the Southern District. In the car, Ali couldn't help but ask, "Li, you shouldn't be taking risks this time." ”

Li Sheng knew that he was asking about long soybeans. He didn't think Ali was a true friend. But this time, Ali was able to help him borrow so much money, which made him correct this judgment a little. And even if he wasn't a real friend, he couldn't let the other party help in vain.

He nodded and said, "If you believe me, it's best to go long in the short term." However, risks also need to be avoided. ”

"Can you tell me?"

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "The reason, I can't say. You just thought I was dreaming about it. If you believe me, you will do it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have a loss. ”

Ali smiled, in fact, he was willing to believe it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to visit. He came mainly to convince himself of his reasons. Now Li Sheng doesn't say the reason, he can't help it, who doesn't have a little secret? But Li Sheng's self-confidence is enough for him to convince himself.

Li Sheng can be said to be ruined, he can't even keep his farm if he loses it, and he has to owe tens of billions of dollars in debt. And he lost all his investment this time, and he is still His Royal Highness the Prince, and he can get a lot of wealth from oil every year. Li Sheng dared to bet, why didn't he dare?

Ali nodded and said, "I believe in you." Of the 13 billion dollars, I can only give you 10 billion. I'll do the rest myself. I'd love to get your tips, though. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "This is no problem." As for the tips, that's for sure. (To be continued.) )
