Chapter 864 No One Is Clean
As for the real estate industry in the island country, wait until the US reveals that they have privately talked about the secret of crude oil with Shater.
It will inevitably cause uneasiness and panic among the islanders and the capital.
At 10:40 in the morning, ten minutes after the futures market opened, Taylor suggested in a low voice, "SIR, shall we greet the outside world first?"
Li Changheng didn't answer right away, but thought of the time difference of London being 5 hours ahead of New York, and the broadcasting time of the morning news of major newspapers, radio and TV stations in New York.
Shaking his head quickly, "We'll talk about it at 1:00 noon."
Then he looked back at Zhang Tianzhi.
Zhang Tianzhi met Li Changheng's gaze, thought for a few seconds, and quickly understood what he meant.
He walked to the phone and made a call to Hong Kong Island.
A few minutes later, he came behind Li Changheng and said, "Ah Heng, Fang Zhanbo said that he can print 100,000 copies of "Shiwen Zaobao" at any time.
And if it's not enough, there shouldn't be any problem with urgent printing of 20 points by tomorrow morning. "
Li Changheng nodded in satisfaction, finally, his investment in newspapers in the past two years was not in vain.
After more than an hour, it was less than 1 o'clock.
At 12:07 a.m. London time, several phones in the VIP room rang piercingly.
The people from the investment department of Citigroup hurriedly answered the phone, and then shouted at Li Changheng with a face full of surprise and surprise.
"Boss, there is news from New York that the broadcasting company under Hearst broadcast the scandal of Island Nation's private contact with Sartre 5 minutes ago.
And newspapers and TV stations follow up and report Washington's reaction throughout the day, as well as the evidence collected. "
A smile instantly appeared on Li Changheng's face. The broadcast at 7 o'clock in the morning was indeed more timely than newspapers and TV stations.
Turning to Taylor, he said, "Sell one-third of the $60 million copper spot I bought on October 5 to people in Cleveland."
Although Taylor wants to sell to Citigroup, he can also send a signal to the outside world.
But he is not stupid, he understands that Li Changheng is implying that the Cleveland consortium will take the lead.
Turn around and walk quickly to the area where Citigroup's traders are, and repeat Li Changheng's order loudly.
Soon the three ace traders immediately picked up the phone and dialed out.
In less than two minutes, three traders calculated on the calculator according to the selling price.
Shouting to Li Changheng, "Boss, the transaction has been completed, but because you didn't use leverage at the beginning, the profit is only 4.3 million US dollars."
Li Changheng nodded indifferently. At first, because the 6th was the time for the war to start, in order to avoid being sniped, he was even more worried about scaring the snake.
That's why I didn't use futures leverage to buy these coppers, and there are 40 million US dollars of raw materials for semiconductor silicon.
The purpose is only to extract as much raw material as possible from the island country semiconductor company.
And this is why he is willing to use the contract in his hand to send a signal to the outside world to start a war.
Anyway, it has risen by 21.5%, and no one knows how much it will rise in the future.
And it shouldn't go anywhere.
Ten minutes later, the phone rang again. Taylor picked up the phone by himself, and said to Li Changheng loudly with a smile on his face.
"Boss, someone bought gold futures worth $2.43 million in the London futures market, what should we do?"
"So timid?"
Li Changheng snorted mockingly, of course he could see such an obvious signal.
But in my heart, I was dissatisfied with only responding to the Cleveland people, but not being the first to act.
However, thinking of the many companies within the Cleveland Consortium that have been losing money year after year, I have no choice but to understand these guys.
Understandable and understandable, Li Changheng didn't feel that he had the responsibility and obligation to sell them all the coppers in his hand.
"Sell the remaining 40 million copper to people in California and Texas."
After speaking, Li Changheng looked at Zhang Tianzhi and said, "Brother Zhi, go outside and tell Harry Hart.
Inform Downing Street and Philip to release the news that England has obtained 74 million barrels of crude oil as soon as possible.
And in front of the media, they publicly condemned the island nation for its treachery. "
Zhang Tianzhi nodded quickly and walked out of the VIP room, while Taylor immediately gave orders to the trader.
A few minutes later, Taylor walked back to Li Changheng, "BOSS, the second batch of copper sold, a total of 49.5 million US dollars was recovered."
In less than ten minutes, copper rose by 1.85%. It seems that the capital entering the market this time far exceeded expectations.
"Check out how many forces in the island country follow us besides the capital of the United States."
"No need to check," Taylor smiled, "In the past three days, Citigroup has received cooperation invitations from four island banks.
Moreover," Taylor took a step forward, whispering with his head only 30 centimeters away from Li Changheng, "it is reported that several copper mines in Brazil and Chile were attacked by unknown armed forces.
Although it did not cause much damage, and not even a single worker died, it would take at least ten days or half a month to resume production. "
Li Changheng looked at Taylor in surprise, and the topic changed a little bit.
Then I saw Taylor continue to say with a smile, "Boss, I can be sure that the mastermind behind this attack is someone from Colombia.
And a guy named Gilberto is the actual controller of a private bank in Colombia. "
"Okay, don't say any more."
Li Changheng immediately thought of the Juela family, which controls the third largest city in Colombia, Cali, among the three largest flour groups in South America.
Compared with Pablo, the leader of the Medellin Group, who is a violent madman, Gilberto is a model of making a fortune silently.
Although Pablo is also extremely smart, this guy has character flaws, likes to show off, and even almost became a member of parliament, planning to run for the Colombian President.
And Gilberto lurked everything in the dark. While the flour business was as low-key as possible, he also used legitimate occupations such as banker, philanthropist, football team owner, etc. to cover up his true identity.
There are even data showing that more than half of Gilberto's wealth comes from legitimate business.
Of course, the money earned from washing the flour through a legitimate business can indeed be hugely profitable.
So before the conflict with Medellin, many Americans didn't even know the Cali Group.
It is no secret to Li Changheng that Citigroup will be revealed in the future that it has been laundering banknotes for South American "reading" owls all the year round.
Frowning and thinking for a moment, Li Changheng quickly decided to let it go.
Because the Citigroup was not involved in this matter, it can be said that all the major banks in the United States have made such black-hearted money.
Even in six or seven states in the southern United States, many small and medium-sized banks rely on these flour merchants to support them.
If it were not for the economic crisis in the future, banks such as Citigroup would be on the brink of bankruptcy.
No one dared to break the news at all, and no one had the ability and ability to break the news.
