silent farm

Chapter 193 The conspiracy finally exposed to the sun

With the 100 billion US dollars borrowed from Ali, Li Sheng finally has enough funds in his hands.

His previous estimate was somewhat wrong. Although the $50 billion and triple leverage can support a 33% reduction in soybean prices.But he has been passive, whether he can get back his money in the end is still another matter.But with this 100 billion, he can cheat Cargill and other major grain companies.

This time, he was no longer as cautious as before, and directly applied twelve times the leverage to operate.In three days, a new $50 billion soybean long position.

It's just that he still operates by himself, so every order he places is a big one.While eye-catching, it doesn't count as market roiling.

Of course, Jamie has been paying attention to Li Sheng's actions in the soybean futures market.Before that, Li Sheng allowed soybean futures to fall for more than a week, neither buying to lower the average price nor closing positions. That kind of unreasonable operation made him feel that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't grasp what the problem was. .Seeing that Li Sheng finally made a move, he also let go of his heart.

Although Li Sheng's funds can use leverage to pull orders of more than 600 billion U.S. dollars, compared to the hot money in the whole world, 600 billion U.S. dollars is not much.

However, he also noticed that there were several large long orders in Europe and the United States.But that only slowed the downward trend in soybean futures prices.He doesn't even think that these parties still have the power to recover.

Although this plan may not be able to bring down Silent Farm, he felt that at least Li Sheng could have financial problems.It would be best if Silent Farm's marketing efforts could be stalled.

In fact, Xing Jamie targeted Silent Farm again because he noticed that Silent Farm was invading the cattle fattening feed market.The fact that Fernando took the cattle farmer to visit Fred's farm was not only not concealed, but also advertised. It is impossible for him not to know.

After Fred's success, the pasture at Silent Farm made him feel threatened.One of Cargill's main businesses is cattle fattening feed, and if Silent Farms fully enters this market, Cargill will lose control of Brazil's cattle industry.That is absolutely not allowed by him.Originally, he planned to use "legal" means to attack his opponents, but he couldn't find the handle on Silent Farm at all. Seeing that Fernando's plan was getting smoother, he had to resort to some conspiratorial means.It's just that those methods didn't work as expected.

But recently, Li Sheng seems to be crazy, and he wants to go against the market in soybean futures, which makes him feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.So he persuaded headquarters to lower March soybean futures.The reason for the persuasion is precisely to suppress Silent Farm, which has shown a strong threat.

Cargill headquarters agreed with his proposal.Of course, he hoped to make Silent Farm lose more. He was a little disappointed that he hadn't seen Li Sheng continue to make moves in the futures market before.But now it seems that he still overestimated the IQ of the Chinese in the financial market.

However, he saw that after Li Sheng placed a long order of 50 billion U.S. dollars, he suddenly stopped placing orders, because he had already received wind that Li Sheng had borrowed 100 billion U.S. dollars.When he was disappointed, Snyder Falma suddenly called him and said with a smile: "Jamie, guess what that Chinese did?"

The two had worked together and conspired against Li Sheng together.Of course Jamie understood who the other party was referring to as Chinese: "What did that idiot do? Couldn't it be preparing to jump off the Empire State Building?"

"Haha, not yet. But I think soon." Falma said with a sneer. "He's shorting Cargill stock options."

Jamie was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Maybe he thought soybean futures were too difficult to pry, so he tried to pry Cargill. But he is not a complete idiot, at least he knows that we did those things."

If you didn't know why Li Sheng suddenly broke into the soybean futures market before, now Jamie can be sure that it is to deal with Cargill.It's just that he really can't see what threat Li Sheng's actions pose to Cargill.

"For a friend who likes to send money, we really should respect it." Falma joked. "Did you know? He actually placed a large order of 25 billion US dollars at a time. But it is obvious that this order cannot meet the needs of the market. After only 10 minutes, his order was divided up."

"Maybe he's seen too many movies," Jamie said with a smile.But his words were interrupted by a knock on the door. "I have someone looking for it here. Thank you for the good news you brought me." Yes, for him, the more idiots Li Sheng did in the financial market, the better it would be for Cargill Brazil.

He hung up the phone and let the knocker in.It was his beautiful secretary who came in.Today he is in a good mood, and there is a hint of lust in his eyes.

It's just that there was a trace of panic on the beauty's face: "Mr. Jamie. The port of Amsterdam refused to unload our soybeans."

"What? What happened?" Jamie jumped up when he heard the news.There is only one batch of soybeans shipped to the port of Amsterdam in the near future, but that batch of soybeans has [-] tons.If the cargo is refused to be unloaded by the port, the most likely reason is that there is something wrong with the cargo.

Sure enough, the assistant confirmed his wisdom: "Amsterdam Customs detected that our soybean **** exceeded the standard."

"Impossible!" Jamie burst into anger. "Our warehouse is equipped with humidity control equipment, and the test results half a month ago showed that everything was normal."

"However, the feedback from customers in the Netherlands showed that the quality of that batch of soybeans exceeded the European standard by more than 300 times." Although the female assistant turned pale from the shock of Jamie's violent drinking.But she still told what she knew.

In fact, she didn't understand why Mr. President was so angry.Although something went wrong with a shipment of soybeans, it may also have been caused by improper storage during transportation.But the president didn't intend to investigate the reason at all.

How did she know that when Jamie heard that there was a problem with the soybeans, he suddenly thought of what Falma had just called him.

Li Sheng is shorting Cargill stock.However, there was a problem with the soybeans arriving in Hong Kong.This is a coincidence?
With only a thump in his heart, he rejected this possibility.He could call Li Sheng an idiot, but he knew very well that Li Sheng couldn't be an idiot, otherwise he would have killed Silent Farm last time.

I didn't know Li Sheng's purpose before, but now he seems to have vaguely grasped the point.

Regardless of whether the female assistant was still there, Jamie picked up the phone on the office desk and directly dialed the warehouse supervisor who stored the batch of soybeans: "I'm Jamie Jamie, I'll test the soybeans in the warehouse immediately********** content."

The other end of the phone didn't know how to answer him.

"I said right away!" Jamie exclaimed. "I want to know the result in two hours. Or you go away."

He hung up the phone with a snap, and took a deep breath. Although his face was still dark, his tone was mild: "Wendiss, inform the managers of each department that a meeting will be held in an hour."

"Yes, Mr. President." The female assistant turned and left the office quickly.

In the next few days, in Brasilia, Jamie was out of breath and devastated, while in Lisbon, Fernando was stunned by the overwhelming trend of soybean returns all over the world. He finally understood why Ali risked billions to accompany Li Sheng crazy.He had to admit that Ali had a better eye for seeing people than he did.He didn't expect Li Sheng to win against Cargill this time.Although he couldn't understand why.But Li Sheng had already won.

Ali, who is far away in the Middle East, is smiling.In less than three days, Cargill has already rejected [-] batches of soybeans because the soybeans were found to exceed the standard.The twelve batches of soybeans are mainly from Brazil, but some soybeans from the United States are also included.But without exception, all belong to the Cargill Group.It also led the governments of the United States and Brazil to sample and test soybean warehouses owned by Cargill in the two countries.

The results were surprising.Most of the soybeans stored by Cargill in the two countries have become moldy.No wonder the ******** exceeds the standard.

As soon as the report came out, Cargill's stock price plummeted.Because the total amount of moldy soybeans in the two countries exceeds 200 million tons.These soybeans account for 80% of Cargill's global soybean reserves, and most of these soybeans will be delivered before March.

While Cargill was busy looking for sources of goods to make up for the shortage of contracted volumes, a negative message broke out again in Brazil: the soybean seeds purchased by Cargill from some farms in the Brazilian plateau could not germinate at all.

Two bullish news spread, and March soybean futures began to soar.

After Li Sheng saw the two curves, a sneer appeared on his face.After working for so long, the two landmines he planted were finally detonated.He thought maybe this time it would give Cargill a little memory.

Leaving the office, the sun was shining outside. He didn't know whether it was because he had stayed indoors for a long time or just completed a series of plots. He felt that the sun was more dazzling than usual.

"Li." Li Sheng stood on the railing outside the office, looking at the sea of ​​flowers in the distance in a daze, and a cry from a distance woke him up.

"Thomas. What can I do?" he asked over his shoulder.

With a smile on his face, Thomas said, "The Gerola has been delivered. The workers are doing sea trials."

Li Sheng didn't expect the ship to be built so quickly: "Send it so soon? There won't be any problem with the quality, right?"

"It's a wooden ship with a steel frame, and this year's rainy season is not too rainy. Their construction speed is also much faster."

The farm has been relatively quiet recently, and Thomas has fewer things to do. Recently, he has focused on tourism.In the past half a month, the farm has received three tourist groups.Still few, but at least a good start.

He smiled and said, "Do you want to go and see?"

Li Sheng smiled and said, "I won't go."

That's what Thomas mentioned. Li Sheng is very busy recently, and he also feels that Li Sheng doesn't have time to take care of trivial things like a ship trial.In fact, from now on, Li Sheng will not be too busy, but he is a little tired during this time.I just want to let go of everything for a while.

Thomas added: "There is one more thing. The polluted areas of the grassland have been basically cleared up. The pollution monitoring of the pasture found that the surrounding pastures can no longer detect ***."

Li Sheng nodded and said with a smile: "You and Feng have worked hard these days!" This is great news.As long as no toxins can be detected, it means that the amount of those poisons is not enough to endanger the quality of pasture.

Thomas saw that he had nothing to explain, so he went to the airport and had someone take him to the pier.
