Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 227 Short Selling Begins

"Of course it can be higher!"

Faced with this question, Lu Feng seemed to take it for granted.

"The Macau ten-dollar note is just starting to gain momentum and is far from reaching its peak."

"Do you have any other tricks?" Li Jicheng was puzzled.

Lu Feng smiled and said, "No need for any tricks, Jiang Zehao will help me raise the price."

"Haha, how is that possible? You are kidding." Huang Doudou laughed.

"Why not? Jiang Zehao doesn't have that many goods to sell to me. Doesn't he need to buy them in the market then? Do you think he can get 500 sets according to the current market price?" Lu Feng asked back.

Li Jicheng sneered: "Are you so sure that the Olympic banknotes will be issued as you wish? Don't forget, today is July 7th, and there is only one month left before the opening of the Olympics. Can you control the central bank and let it launch a surprise attack?"

Li Jicheng could certainly understand the basis of Lu Feng's idea, but all this was based on the situation that he won both bets.

Once both bets are won, not to mention that Jiang Zehao will have to expend enormous effort to acquire it, the reputation of the Nine-Segment Shrimp alone will reach an unprecedented height.

It can be said that if any one of these two fantastic prophecies comes true, it will be enough to make Lu Feng truly a god in the market.

Li Jicheng could imagine how crazy the Xiamituan group would become at that time, and how many people would regard Lu Feng as a real god.

This alone is enough to take the Macau ten-dollar banknote to the next level.

Just a few thousand sets! This is the only variety that Shrimp God operates openly.

Li Jicheng had actually inquired about it secretly, but there was no news about the issuance of the Olympic banknotes. He really couldn't understand where Lu Feng got his confidence from!
"Wait three more days. We'll know the result in three days!" Lu Feng shook the Coke in his hand.

"Three days? You can even predict the release time." Wu Xin couldn't help laughing, thinking that Lu Feng was getting more and more ridiculous.

"Oh, I knew that even if I told the truth, you wouldn't believe it." Lu Feng sighed helplessly and thought that he should just wait patiently until the time was up and not waste his breath.

Seeing that everyone wanted to continue arguing, Lu Feng immediately changed the subject.

"Xiao Chengzi, do you know anyone who can get access to the U.S. financial market?"

"What are you going to do?" Li Jicheng asked puzzledly.

"They said there would be a financial crisis in the future. We must seize this great opportunity and give the Americans a good beating."

"Are you serious?" Li Jicheng was shocked. Even though Lu Feng had said many times that a financial crisis would happen this year, none of them believed it.

This is even more ridiculous than the issuance of Olympic banknotes.

"When have I ever joked? Why do you think I sold the product for 200 million yuan even though I knew that the price of a full copy in Macau would be even higher at 10 yuan? Wasn't it just because I wanted to get the money as soon as possible and make a fortune from this opportunity?" Lu Feng looked conceited, "Don't forget, our biggest opponent right now is not Jiang Zehao, but your good uncle's family."

Seeing that Li Jicheng was somewhat moved, Lu Feng continued with a smile: "If we only rely on these operations within the industry, we can only make a profit like the 10 yuan per page in Macau, and it is still a rare opportunity."

"In the stamp, coin and card market, apart from those factors that break the barriers, whoever has more money is the boss. If you want to have a sufficient position and appeal in the market, it is far from enough to rely on Zhongbo, Jiujiexia and a trading platform alone."

"Money! As long as we have more than ten figures in cash, we can become the God of Wealth in the market even if we do nothing!"

"What's more, have you ever thought about this? Once the financial crisis breaks out, the loan channels in the major markets will definitely be the first to be hit and drowned in the tide. At that time, this will be the biggest gap and opportunity."

"We can't compete with your family's decades of operation in terms of supply and qualifications, but what if we have control over the most deadly cash flow?" Lu Feng had already planned countless times in his mind what to do next.

The outbreak of the financial crisis was a nightmare for others, but a great opportunity for him.

At that time, cash flow will definitely be cut off immediately, and many merchants in the market will suffer heavy losses in this accident, or even go bankrupt.

Those channels that are unable to recover funds in a timely manner will inevitably suffer a huge impact.

If you have enough cash, you can intervene at the right time.

This is a very big piece of cake.

Lu Feng made a rough calculation and found that 10% of the profits of the entire stamp, coin and card market each year, which means hundreds of millions of dollars, would have to be used to fill this funding gap.

In other words, if you can take over all the loan channels, you can make hundreds of millions of profits every year by waiting for the crisis to pass and the market to improve.

Even the Li family can't catch up!

Li Jicheng widened his eyes, and after realizing what Lu Feng was going to do, he was stunned for a moment.

Born into a family of nobles, his work style and thinking were still bound by tradition. He never thought that there was another lifeline besides the upstream supply.

That is money!

He tried hard to regulate his breathing, and it took him a long time to calm his pounding heart.

"I have a childhood friend who knows about this. He is now the head of the private banking client department at Standard Chartered."

"But if you have an idea, we probably have to go back to BJ."

"It doesn't matter. There are still a few days left. Please help me make an appointment." Lu Feng said quickly.

This is why he must let Li Jicheng join the team.

What he lacks most is exactly what Li Jicheng has. The two of them complement each other perfectly.

"Okay, I have nothing to do during the summer vacation anyway, so I'll take care of it. You come up with a plan first."

At that moment, the two quickly determined the time to go to BJ.

That night, Li Jicheng made a phone call and took the initiative to buy a plane ticket for Lu Feng.

On the morning of July 7, the two landed at the Capital International Airport on time.

After waiting for a long time, he finally got a taxi. Lu Feng, who was already sweating profusely, asked his master to turn up the air conditioner to the maximum, and said jokingly: "Mr. Li, it's not possible. There is not even anyone to pick you up at the airport."

"Forget about it. You're just a nouveau riche!" Li Jicheng didn't give him any face. "I just told him to introduce him to a friend, and didn't reveal anything else. After all, I don't know how much you want to invest."

"I thought you understood me, but it seems I misunderstood!" Lu Feng shrugged, but he didn't care at all.

The two of them fought each other and followed the airport highway. In half an hour, they arrived at the agreed place, the Standard Chartered branch in the Oriental Building. (The original location, if I remember correctly, moved to another place around 21 years ago)

Li Jicheng made a phone call, and after a while, a young man dressed in designer clothes came out with a smile.
