A few days later, in the Chicago Board of Trade.
"You're right." A short, fat man with a rosacea in a gray suit smiled at his companion.
"Do you believe it, Woodlow?" Someone ordered 1,000 tons of wheat from me and agreed to return 1,100 tons to me in two months.
Haha, now someone wants to sell short. Don't these guys know the number of immigrants from Europe this year?”
Hearing this, his companion, a skinny old man wearing a denim hat, also smiled and said,
"You know, Barete, my farm is not as big as yours. However, that group of people also ordered 500 tons of wheat from me. Hehe, they will return me another 50 tons in two months.
Those guys who were short selling were really crazy. Didn't they know that the grain price had been rising recently?”
"Hehe, let's just let those people lose their underwear!”
The man with the red rosacea laughed.
However, soon, there was a lot of discussion on this topic in the Chicago Board of Trade.
"That group of people also ordered 300 tons from me!”
"Mine is 400 tons. I promised to pay you back 10% more in two months!”
Good heavens, this calculation was not a big deal. The short and fat man with rosacea and his skinny old man friend were shocked.
The group had reserved large areas in the main wheat areas of Arizona, Arizona, South Dakota, and so on.
They even got their hands on corn and oats.
It was unbelievable how many grain trade contracts those people had signed.
"Lunatic, lunatic, how crazy is this? God, who did this?？”The man with the rosacea exclaimed.
"Is it Douglas? God is my witness. That guy used to sell grain in a frenzy!”
the skinny old man replied.
"No, no, even the crazy Douglas wouldn't do that. Besides, he definitely doesn't have such a large amount of capital!”
the man with the rosacea said.
Although short-selling in this era was somewhat different from the future, the basic form was still the same.
Li Zixuan received a low-interest loan of five million US dollars from Fuguo Company and a million US dollars from his father, Li Shi.
Li Zixuan used 6 million USD to short 10 kinds of grain commodities, including wheat, corn, oats, and so on.
Otherwise, a single grain alone would not be able to hold 6 million USD.
This was because Li Zixuan had used six million USD to leverage a disk worth more than twelve million USD.
To put it simply, Li Zixuan ordered the grain from the farmers at half the normal price, and
then he would deliver the grain in the futures market.
With just this, he could get 12 million dollars in cash.
As for the grain that had to be returned two months later according to the contract, if the price of grain skyrocketed two months later,
then Li Zixuan would lose everything. On the contrary, if the price of grain plummeted and he was cut in half,
then he only needed to buy grain at the current price to complete the contract.
In two months, Li Zixuan could earn millions of dollars.
According to the system 'Chicago three-month commodity trading chart, once July arrived, with the great harvest of spring wheat in the Eagle Jam Nation, the
entire wheat price would be affected by the sharp drop in international food prices.
The price of wheat was not even half of what it was now.
However, these farm owners didn't know at all. They thought that they had met a fool.
"Haha!" A farm owner from the trading center laughed.
"Actually, I know who did this!"”
Instantly, the rosacea Barete and the skinny old man in the denim hat were both attracted by this person.
The guy in front of them was a German farm owner from nearby Chicago. They all knew him.
"Vernal, who is it? Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly, which idiot did such a thing!”
The rosacea Barete's nostrils were puffing and his face was flushed red. He seemed to be more interested in knowing this than women.
Seeing that a group of people had quickly gathered nearby, and there were even some gentlemen wearing top hats,
the German farm owner seemed to feel that his vanity had been greatly satisfied. He said,
"Hehe, okay, I'll tell you. In fact, you all know that person. This city will hold a sensational event in the United States in a month.”
Immediately, someone reacted,
"It's the National Rifle Shooting Competition!”
"That's right. Think about it. Who has the financial resources to buy so much food?”The German farm owner chuckled.
In an instant, many people in the trading center started racking their brains.
It was related to the National Shooting Competition and had the financial resources.
In that instant, they thought of a person
, the Miracle Boy, Bruce Lee!!!”The rosacea Barete shouted.
Hearing the friends around me, so say, skinny old man, Wu Deluo
, eat, one, shock, so don't know, how can it be, that Bruce, Li, that Xia country kid, but safety razor, 1882, Li type rifle, and smokeless gunpowder, invention Could it be that he has some insider information? Speaking of which, the weather this year is indeed very good, and there is indeed a possibility of a bumper harvest. In that case, the price is really…"
"Don't scare yourself, Woodrow. Do you really think that Chinese kid is some miracle boy? That kid was a puppet pushed out by the Xia people. Those inventions were not his. The only thing that could be confirmed was that he was lucky enough to kill the bandit, Jesse James!”
"Barete, I think we should be careful.”
"Trust me, Woodlow, the food supply will continue to increase. Although we have a bumper harvest this year, don't forget about the immigrants from Europe and the East. They are like hungry dogs. As for that Huaxia kid, he would definitely fall this time, hehe.”
