silent farm

Chapter 192 Two lunatics
For futures, Li Sheng is actually not very good at it, at best he only knows the rules.He rashly invested in the soybean futures market. Making money in it was only a secondary purpose, and the more important purpose was to make others lose money.

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

He has a total of about 52 billion US dollars of available funds on hand, of which 42 billion is the remaining cash from his purchase of Sands and last year's sales profit, and 25 billion is a loan from the bank.He immediately placed a long position in soybeans with a contract period of nearly [-] billion US dollars in the March contract period on several exchanges.

His actions were like playing a game of Monopoly. Of course, the speculative market surrounded by giant crocodiles made the giant crocodiles smell blood.Giant crocodiles dismiss such inexperienced and disorderly operations, but they will not look down on money.

So his extra order was eaten up in one go.

Seeing that his bill had been digested, Li Sheng just smiled and was not worried 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. The Brazilian Cargill company, which had been paying attention to the silent farm, of course also noticed his movements.

In fact, Li Sheng operates it by himself, and each exchange has only one real-name account, as long as he is not blind, he can be found to be operating it.

Jamie Plant received the news that Li Sheng suddenly entered the soybean futures market. He heard that he had established a March soybean long contract worth nearly 25 billion dollars. His first reaction was not what Li Sheng wanted to do, but to call new assistant.This time his assistant is a blonde beauty, but he didn't call her here to have fun, but to order: "I want to ask the headquarters if there is any change in China's soybean demand next year."

After waiting for his assistant to leave, he clicked on various assessment reports on the soybean market.He wondered if Li Sheng had obtained some insider information that he hadn't discovered.

And he believes that the biggest possibility is that Li Sheng knows some changes in China's soybean demand next year.China is currently the country with the largest soybean demand and import volume, and has the greatest impact on the market.However, he checked all the analysis reports, and did not find any report that Huaxia might reduce soybean imports next year.

Huaxia's soybean planting area should not change much. Unless Huaxia people only eat meat next year, the demand for soybeans will not increase significantly.And why did Li Sheng go long against the market?Did that Chinese suddenly become an idiot?
Jamie Plant's fingers lit up and down the table. 25 billion US dollars is not a small amount, he thought for a while, then called his assistant and asked her to check if Li Sheng had taken a loan from the bank.

Although Li Sheng's loan bank is Huaxia Bank, but of course anyone who wants to check can still find it.The assistant handed him the findings the next day.He saw that Huaxia's four major banks jointly loaned Li Sheng a billion dollars, and it was mortgaged.Although he didn't find out what the collateral was, Jamie Plant couldn't think of anything else besides the Silent Farm itself that Li Sheng could mortgage to a billion dollars.

On this day, Jamie Plant pushed back a few schedules, locked himself in the office and contacted the US headquarters for most of the day.But no one knows what he said to headquarters.

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.

The bad news sent Chicago soybean futures down four cents at the opening.And it's been down all day.It eventually fell below 980 cents a bushel a few days later.This price is the lowest price in four years.

Li Sheng sneered when he saw the news.Obviously, Cargill knew of his actions and began to hunt him down.

But he's not worried about losing money.In fact, he even took a trip to the United States with great interest.

Right now, Li Sheng is at the Port of Chicago.This is one of the largest cities in the Great Lakes region, and it also has a large warehouse for Cargill.Although the port he can not enter.Mourning was still driving, and Bai Qin was in the passenger seat.And Li Sheng sat in the back seat with his eyes closed, not sure if he was sleeping or thinking about something.Even if you open your eyes, it is still a conversation about calling someone and saying what you are going to do.It seems to be plotting something.

The two people in the front seat were used to his appearance.It was like this in Brazil before, and it is still like this after coming to the United States.It seems that they did not come to the United States to play.Mourning even had a premonition that the boss might be trying 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 when he came to the eastern United States, he almost drove to the warehouses with the largest storage volume of Cargill in his investigation report.Every time they came to such a place, they would park the car not far away, and then Li Sheng would close his eyes.

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

On this day, he just turned on the computer to look at the soybean market, and Ali called him and said: "I only got a short-term loan of 130 billion U.S. dollars, and the shortest one is 20 billion U.S. dollars, which needs to be completed within 47 days." Another 21 billion."

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

"I'd be happier if you could tell me how you can make money," Ali said with a smile on the phone.

Li Sheng's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "If you believe me, you can just lend me 100 billion. You can handle the remaining 30 billion by yourself."

"Operate what?"

"Soybeans. Go long!"

"Are you sure?" Ali was different from Li Sheng.He has been making speculative investments and is very good at futures. "You don't intend to take 100 billion to go long on soybeans, do you?"

They were talking on a satellite phone, which is more secure in terms of confidentiality. Li Sheng didn't hide anything and said, "I can't say anything about the specifics. In short, I think the soybean contract in March this year will increase significantly. And it will happen in the next few days." The result will be known in time.”

Ali hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's meet tomorrow." Originally, he planned to shoot a private lawyer to come to Brazil tomorrow to sign a loan agreement with Li Sheng.Hearing what Li Sheng said, he immediately changed his mind.

"it is good!"

"Can you inform Fernando?" Ali asked after thinking for a while.

"Fernando doesn't seem to support me doing that." Li Sheng didn't disclose his plan to anyone, but anyone with a heart could see his actions. Fernando even called him specifically to persuade him to withdraw from the speculative market.

"Okay. If he's not free, 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 that he dared to use tens of billions of dollars to operate soybeans against the market.

At noon the next day, Ali's A330 private plane landed directly at the airport in the southern area of ​​Silent Farm.He is also really ostentatious. You must know that his plane needs to land at other licensed airports before landing at other airports after inspection.In other words, this plane needs to take off and land twice from Kuwait to Silent Farm.

Li Sheng didn't expect him to have such a big battle.Fortunately, the farm had a long enough runway.Otherwise, Ali can only parachute down.

Ali got off the plane and couldn't help smiling when he saw the A350-1000 parked at the end of the run.That plane was recommended by him, and Li Sheng was able to buy it, which also proved that he was not deeply guarded against him.

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

Li Sheng smiled and said, "I really like it, and the price is quite satisfactory. Thank you for your recommendation."

Ali laughed and said: "I knew you paid more attention to practicality. I have actually seen that plane, but I prefer to arrange my own plane according to my own ideas, just like my own room. But I want to feel comfortable on this plane. It must be very good."

Li Sheng smiled and said: "Originally I planned to take that plane back, as a flight experience. It's a pity that the farm incident forced me to come back early. I've been busy recently, and I haven't had time to invite the crew, so I haven't flown yet."

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

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "After I finish my work, I plan to invite some Chinese people, so that communication will be more convenient."

Ali smiled, nodded and said, "Indeed."

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

Because of the hot weather, Li Sheng drove a pickup.He may be the only one in the world who receives a real prince in a pickup truck.Ali didn't dislike it, let alone a pickup, he has ridden a camel.They went back to the villa after picking up Tia from school.

Ali's entourage did not follow, but was entertained by Thomas in the southern district.In the car, Ali couldn't help asking, "Li, you shouldn't be taking risks this time, right?"

Li Sheng knew that he was asking about long soybeans.He didn't think Ali was a real friend at first.But this time Ali was able to help him borrow so much money, which made him correct this judgment a bit.And even if he wasn't a real friend, he couldn't ask Fang Bai to help him.

He nodded and said: "If you believe me, it's better to be long in the short term. But you also need to be risk-averse."

"Can you tell me?"

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "I can't say the reason. You just think I'm dreaming about it. Just do it if you believe me. If you don't believe it, you won't lose anything."

Ali smiled, but in fact he was willing to believe it.Otherwise, I wouldn't have made a special trip.He came mainly for reasons that he wanted to convince himself.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 was enough for him to convince himself.

It can be said that Li Sheng is on the verge of breaking the boat. If he loses money, he can't even keep the farm, and he still owes tens of billions of dollars in debt.And he lost all his investment this time, and he is still His Royal Highness, who can obtain a lot of wealth from oil every year.Li Sheng dared to bet, why didn't he dare?
Ali nodded and said, "I trust you. Of the 130 billion dollars, I can only give you 100 billion. I will handle the rest myself. But I hope to get your tips."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "That's no problem. As for the reminder, that's of course."
