Chapter 152 Futures Trading

"You mean to throw down a bait first, wait for Zhang Wentian to bite the hook, and then pull him in and let him fall into the quagmire from which he can't extricate himself!

Xue Yutang nodded: "That's right, that's what it means!"

The Thirteenth Prince looked at Xue Yutang and asked with some doubts: "It's easy for you to say, but how could Zhang Wentian be easily fooled, and if he finds a problem, won't he get out in time?"

Xue Yutang smiled: "Even if Zhang Wentian is smart in the face of huge interests, he will lose his judgment, as for withdrawing, as long as he goes in, don't think about going out again, don't underestimate the heart of a gambler who loses red eyes, and don't think too highly of a person's self-discipline, not many people can really stand the test!"

"Bet, I already want to pull a bachelor with a top quality to gamble! This is not realistic!" The Thirteenth Prince felt that Xue Yutang was just whimsical.

Yingren also had questions, and looked at Xue Yutang with his eyes: "I also want to know, what do you want to do?"

Xue Yutang smiled: "If you want to gamble, let's play a little bigger, how much money can you mobilize in your hand, Emperor Qin?"

Yingren was stunned for a moment: "Do you mean that I am personal, or is it from the pre-Qin Empire?"

This time, it was Xue Yutang's turn to be stunned: "Emperor Qin, do you have a lot of funds in your hands?"

Yingren smiled: "It's not much, there should be 10,000 taels!"

Xue Yutang almost didn't fall off the chair, looked at Yingren with his mouth wide open, and looked at the thirteen princes stupidly, 10,000 taels is 100 million taels, it can be seen how rich this pre-Qin Empire has become!

Yingren and the Thirteenth Prince couldn't help but laugh when they saw Xue Yutang's stupid appearance, and the Thirteenth Prince said with some evil taste: "If Brother Xue is not enough, I don't have much in my hand, I can probably take out 50 million taels!"

At this time, Xue Yutang was completely unable to turn around, and he was directly stupid and didn't speak for a long time, which made Yingren and the Thirteen Princes a little unbearable, and they laughed forward and backwards.

Xue Yutang was pulled back by their laughter, and said helplessly: "You laugh as much as you want, forgive me for my shallow knowledge, I really can't understand the life of a rich person, 150 million taels, this is simply an astronomical amount!"

"Xue Yutang, is this money enough?"

Xue Yutang nodded seriously: "Enough, gambling, the cost is small, and the benefits are high......!

Yingren saw that Xue Yutang was always turning around on gambling money, and his eyes began to show distrust, this thing won't run away with money!

"Xue Yutang, what are you going to do, you can't think of opening a circle of casinos around Zhang Wentian's house, right?" Yingren even thought in his heart that Xue Yutang thought so!

Xue Yutang looked at Yingren with a smile and said, "Almost! But it's not a casino, it's a futures trading market!"

Yingren and the Thirteenth Prince looked at Xue Yutang strangely: "Futures, what is this?"

Xue Yutang thought for a while, he didn't know much about this thing, but he knew the most basic principle: "It's actually very simple, it's to sell goods, but unlike ordinary sales, what he sells is not cash/goods, but future goods!"

Yingren and the Thirteenth Prince were even more confused: "Don't sell cash/goods, then who will buy it?"

Xue Yutang smiled: "What if there is a huge profit in this?"

"How much profit?"

Xue Yutang stretched out three fingers: "Three!"

Yingren frowned: "Three times? This will disrupt the market of the pre-Qin Empire, and in the end the gains outweigh the losses!"

The Thirteen Princes also shook their heads!

Xue Yutang laughed and said: "Don't worry, this has nothing to do with the real market, it's just a virtual transaction, even if the goods need to be delivered in the end, the difference in price will make the Zhang family pay, and in the end you can sit back and eat the Zhang family with peace of mind!"

When Yingren heard Xue Yutang say that he would not disturb the market of the pre-Qin Empire, he immediately became interested, pulled a chair from the side, sat opposite Xue Yutang and said, "You tell me in detail, it's not feasible for me to come and see if this is possible!"

Xue Yutang said slowly: "Actually, this is a big gamble, to put it bluntly, I will open the bank, you will bet, you will get huge profits if you win, you will lose your family, do you think you will choose to gamble or not to gamble?"

The Thirteenth Prince shook his head: "I don't bet!"

Xue Yutang laughed: "What if I make you think that you are sure to win?"

The Thirteenth Prince's voice was much higher: "How is that possible?"

Xue Yutang smiled: "How is it impossible? What is the main industry of the Zhang family?"

The Thirteenth Prince said: "Grain, cotton, silk village, they themselves occupy a large amount of land, and the annual grain output accounts for one-third of the pre-Qin Empire, which is also one of the reasons why the pre-Qin Empire is jealous of them!"

Xue Yutang looked at Yingren: "It's not very comfortable for this grain to be stuck in the neck, right?"

Yingren sighed: "Not only is it uncomfortable, but it is also angry everywhere, and the annual military consumption of grain is an astronomical amount! Once the Zhang family hoards grain, the economic blow to the pre-Qin Empire will be fatal, so the pre-Qin Empire has to make concessions to the Zhang family everywhere!"

Xue Yutang snorted coldly: "This year, I will let the Zhang family have to live by selling land, and at most half a year, I will let him go bankrupt!"

"How?" At this time, even the thirteen princes were interested.

Xue Yutang took another sip of tea before he spoke: "Actually, this futures is not so complicated, for example, let's build a futures trading market and buy this year's grain first, which is equivalent to using a contract to get the grain that is not yet mature, and we don't know the grain output yet, but the price has come out, many people will think, will this year's grain rise?

Yingren thought for a moment: "Will hoard but not sell!"

Xue Yutang smiled: "Not bad, but if we let out the wind, or make a gesture, we will go to the surrounding countries to purchase a large amount of food, so what?"

Yingren was stunned for a moment: "This ...... It's not realistic, this kind of procurement is a waste of manpower and material resources, and no country has enough food to sell to us!"

Xue Yutang smiled: "We can build one, and there is a country that wants to sell us a large amount of grain!"

Yingren thought for a moment and said, "What do you mean is fake?"

Xue Yutang nodded and said: "That's right, it can even be said that in order to stabilize grain prices, the royal family of the Pre-Qin Empire subsidized the purchase of grain in large quantities, what do you say?"

Yingren thought for a moment: "Then the major families will panic and want to sell the grain in their hands before the grain bought from other countries arrives!"

Xue Yutang slapped his face: "Yes, but now that the grain is not ripe, how can I sell it?"

Yingren glanced at the Thirteenth Prince, who was still thinking about this matter: "Then your futures trading market has become the best place!"

Xue Yutang smiled: "You're right, if you sell us to ensure harvest in drought and flood, they are equivalent to putting money in their pockets!"

"But then aren't we compensating?" The Thirteen Princes were a little stunned by Xue Yutang!

Xue Yutang laughed and said, "No, we won't lose!"

Yingren seemed to understand a little, but he still didn't understand: "Who will take this plate?"

Xue Yutang smiled: "We signed a contract, then this grain is already ours, at this time, the Qin Empire came out to refute the rumors, saying that the previous things were completely false, not only that, due to the current border tension, the army needs to purchase a large amount of food, I hope everyone will overcome difficulties this year, be diligent and thrifty, and put an end to waste! What do you say will happen?"

Yingren was stunned for a moment: "That grain is not growing like crazy?"

Xue Yutang looked at Yingren with a smile: "Yes, it will grow crazy, but they have already sold us food, so no matter how crazy it is, we will make money!"

Yingren frowned: "But even if we make money, this Zhang family has nothing to lose!"

Xue Yutang looked at Yingren and said, "But we can sell the contract in our hands with some money!"
