Chapter 331: Escape or Challenge
It seems that we have chosen an opponent of different orders of magnitude for ourselves!
In the cafe not far from the London Metal Exchange, Alfonso expressed such emotion. He looked at Zhou Ming opposite him and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, although you have reminded me before and I am mentally prepared for the upcoming disaster, now when I see these things happen, I still feel desperate. Such things are simply terrible!"
Alfonso's tone was filled with fear and confusion: "I can't imagine how he did these things until now, how he found so many futures contracts that were about to expire, and how he used these contracts to leverage the entire market."
"Now the price of iron ore futures has risen to 21, and it is still rising soaring. According to the current trend, all the morning drops can be increased back in three hours. This makes my heart pounding and unable to calm down. It feels like the first time I saw a lion that really rushed towards me on the African grassland. My hands and feet were so scared that I was numb and stiff." Alfonso said hurriedly, venting the fear in his heart.
In front of him, Zhou Ming nodded silently. Not to mention Alfonso, even Zhou Ming was also surprised. First of all, those contracts are not so easy to collect. Even if they can collect them, they may not be able to achieve real delivery. After all, futures trading only requires one-tenth of margin to be traded, but real physical delivery requires full payment. Before paying within the specified time, the exchange will not agree to the delivery request.
Now that Opold has applied for a transaction, but has not responded on the exchange, the result is obvious.
In addition to this, the situation in the futures market is also terrible. You should know that this time the iron ore futures carnival also included many big investors. Later, even if Opold found out the delivery news, those big investors would not give up like this. There will always be people who want to remedy it. But this is impossible to see in the crazy surge in iron ore futures, and the current increase is even greater than the morning drop.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming, you already know the current situation, so we can give up." Alfonso said.
"Why give up?" Zhou Ming asked back.
Afangsuo was stunned for a moment and then said incredibly: "Mr. Zhou Ming, have you forgotten what I said just now? We are not on the same order of magnitude as our opponents, and we are not qualified to be opponents at all!"
"So you are going to give up?" Zhou Ming asked again.
Alfonso hesitated for a moment before answering: "It's not that I want to give up, but that we have no hope at all, okay?"
Alfonso then pointed his hand at the exchange not far away: "Look at it, all the private rooms are big investors with assets of over 100 million pounds. Those people united to subvert the economy of a middle-class country, but what's going on now? Not that they were beaten by Luxembourg and had no power to fight back. I can swear to God that there must be a wail in those private rooms now. If they were given another chance to start over, they would definitely not dare to do this!"
"So you are going to give up?" Zhou Ming repeated the question again.
Afangsou immediately stared at Zhou Ming with wide eyes and said incrediblely: "What are you asking? Is my explanation just now not clear enough? Even those big investors were easily defeated by Oslan, what can we do? We can't even maintain our own cooperation team!"
"So you are going to give up?" Zhou Ming still repeated the question.
This question that had been repeated three times made Afang Suo go crazy. He tried his best to tear his hair and stared at Zhou Ming angrily. He didn't understand why he had been explaining why you still have to ask? Is there something wrong with your brain?
Seeing him like this, Zhou Ming felt embarrassed, so he said seriously: "I would ask this because I don't think we should give up. I think we still have a chance to defeat the mobile phone."
If Alfonso was just puzzled by Zhou Ming's words just now, then he now thinks that Zhou Ming is completely crazy. Otherwise, if it weren't for this, how could he say such words? You must know that he had explained it very clearly just now. They are not Aoslan's opponents at all. Why can he just say such ridiculous words if he doesn't believe it?
"Mr. Zhou Ming, I hope you can understand that this time our opponent is Luxembourg, which is not on the same order of magnitude as other opponents before. You can predict the rise and fall of Lisheng Food Company's stock with a weather forecast, but that kind of opportunistic approach will not work in Luxembourg. He is more solid in both his capital operation courage and theoretical knowledge than us. This is simply seeking death!" Alfonso said.
Zhou Ming still shook his head: "How can you assert the result if you don't try anything? Besides, I have beaten Oslan once, right?"
"In the morning, including York, Lincoln and other investors, they all thought they had surpassed Osland, but what about the final result? Now you have seen that at the speed of iron ore futures, it can easily recover all the losses and make more money through other operations. This is the strength of the super giants. We are not opponents, and I don't want to lose our future." Alfonso said.
Zhou Ming looked at Alfonso for a while and said, "It seems that you have been scared by Oslan's bottom-hand manipulation, but it doesn't matter. Then I'll go find York and the others. I think they will definitely be willing to cooperate with me to regain the losses."
Alfonso sneered: "I am so frank, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are too overestimating yourself. In my opinion, they should beg for mercy to the investors behind them instead of coming to you, because you will not be able to help you at all. They will not come to you, it is absolutely impossible!"
As Alfonso finished speaking, the phone on his body suddenly rang, and Alfonso took it out and answered it immediately became confused.
"My God, Mr. Zhou Ming, can you tell fortunes? This call was called by York. He said he wanted to see you and hope you can save him." Alfonso murmured, his tone was extremely awkward, which was normal. You must know that he had just said so firmly that York would never find Zhou Ming, but he called immediately. It was already rare for Alfonso to finish his words in the face in a second.
However, Zhou Ming was not right and said anything more about those irrelevant issues. Since York called, he immediately said that he could meet and talk. Then Zhou Ming and Alfonso left the cafe and went back to the Sarago Fund Company.
Meanwhile, York and Lincoln have both arrived at their fund and are arranged to wait in the conference room.
The one in charge was a manager of the fund company. He arranged York and Lincoln, and he seemed very excited to come out.
"Do you know who they are? That's Mr. York, who is the head of the royal fund. He was the position of Minister of Finance in the past, and now he is an investor in London! Lincoln next to him is also the head of another large investment company, and he is also very powerful. I really didn't expect them to come to their own company. It's so incredible!"
The manager said to the rest of the company, and everyone else was very excited, after all, York and Lincoln were both very powerful financial figures in their eyes.
But then Zhou Ming and Alfonso came back. York and Lincoln, who were originally in the conference room, immediately walked out of the conference room and shook hands and said hello to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, it's great that you can arrive in such a short time. We are waiting for you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do!"
This scene shocked the entire Zarago Fund Company. Although they all knew that York and Lincoln were waiting for Zhou Ming here, they never thought that they would be so proactive.
"It's really Mr. Zhou Ming. Even people like York and Lincoln will come here to ask him for advice!"
These people were talking nonsense, and when they said this, Zhou Ming and Alfonso had already invited York Lincoln to the chairman's office.
Sitting down on the sofa, Zhou Ming said straight to the point: "The purpose of your coming today is because the price of iron ore soaring from noon, right?"
Zhou Ming's words were a bit unexpected to them, because they were originally ready to welcome Zhou Ming's ridicule and attack. After all, they did too much before, but they didn't expect that Zhou Ming did not mention the previous things at all, but directly mentioned the current things.
This is the manifestation of a great man!
York and Lincoln felt infinite respect for Zhou Ming in their hearts.
Zhou Ming Alfonso then brought York and Lincoln to the conference room. However, as soon as they sat down, Zhou Ming's phone rang. Zhou Ming answered the phone call from Juan.
"I'm sorry I called at this time. I know you must be very busy now, but I can't say something." Juan continued with a strong emphasis, "The price fluctuations in iron ore futures this time are very severe, so our investment will definitely fail, but this is not important. You just need to keep closing positions and keep our returns as much as possible."
Juan added: "More importantly, remember that you must never have any conflicts with the Luxembourg family anymore. You are not their opponents, do you understand?"
Juan finally left this sentence and hung up the phone, but Zhou Ming just smiled slightly.
During the call just now, Zhou Ming turned on hands-free, so everyone in the conference room heard their words, which made the already depressing atmosphere even more depressing.
Chapter completed!
