Buy cotton futures with 10x leverage
Note: Correction, Shi Zhongfu's short-selling futures have been changed from garlic to cotton.
"Cough, cough, I'm very strong."
Half-Immortal Huang scoffed, "Anyway, I gave it to you. Practice it or not, don't blame me if you die on a woman."
"......" Chen Xiao.
Holy crap, is that true?
Half-Immortal Huang had some real skills. In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he was a hundred times better than many doctors in the surrounding villages.
Chen Xiao might not believe him in other aspects, but this old man's diagnostic methods were truly exceptional.
Chen Xiao waved the book in his hand, "Alright, I understand."
Although Shi Dun really wanted to go with Chen Xiao, he was a bit reluctant to leave his master.
Half-Immortal Huang cursed, "Scram! You've been freeloading off me for over 20 years, and you still want to mooch food and drinks? Go mooch off Chen Xiao."
Shi Dun said, "Then I'll buy you some bulk liquor when I come back."
Half-Immortal Huang nodded, "At least you have some conscience, unlike Chen Xiao, who always tries to fool this old man with glass bottles."
"......" Chen Xiao.
After descending the mountain, Chen Xiao originally wanted Shi Dun to sit in the S600, but he had to bend over and lower his head just to get in.
There was no other way; only an SUV was barely enough.
With Shi Dun picked up, Chen Xiao felt much more at ease and instructed, "Brother Fang, go back and tell Yanran to arrange for water and electricity to be supplied to the mountaintop, and to build a base station."
"Yes, Boss."
......
The process of going back to pick up his grandfather, Chen Zhonghe, was naturally not very smooth. Wang Li and Chen Jianshe's wife, Wang Shumin, had a fierce argument.
The reason was that less than a fifth of the alimony Wang Li provided was actually used on the old man, leading to his extremely poor condition.
Chen Xiao was too lazy to argue with them. Anyway, he didn't plan to interact with them anymore, so he just rushed in with his bodyguards and took the old man away.
As for how Chen Jianshe and his wife felt after seeing the motorcade, he had no mind to consider it. In Chen Xiao's eyes, they were like strangers.
On the way back, Wang Li quickly forgot the unpleasantness from earlier.
Chen Xiao smiled. Perhaps, this was the power of money.
Wang Li's life, once filled with nothing but hardship, with poverty all around her, had been lived in a daze.
Now, apart from some trivial annoyances, looking ahead, the rest of her life was beautiful.
Her state of mind, naturally, had also become completely different.
......
After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao started fiddling with his phone.
"Hmm?"
Not long after he started playing, an advertisement suddenly popped up on his phone's web page, full of analyses predicting a drop in cotton prices.
Combined with the recent continuous decline in cotton futures contract prices, it even made sense to those who didn't know better, making them think the analysis had some merit.
Chen Xiao switched to a few other less reputable websites and found similar messages on most of them. It was clear they all came from the same organization.
"Wasn't Wang Jiancai arrested? Why are there still such fake news stories trying to trick investors?"
Not long after, a hidden message, different from the usual ones, updated on Chen Xiao's phone.
[July 8th, cotton futures rose 3.8%. July 9th, cotton futures rose 3.5%.]
Well, this made it even more certain that someone was deliberately releasing bearish news from behind the scenes.
Combined with An Zhong's intelligence that Shi Zhongfu was recently shorting cotton, the mastermind behind the fake news was self-evident.
Wang Jiancai was merely Shi Zhongfu's puppet. Although he was sent in, someone had clearly taken his place.
Regardless of how Shi Zhongfu operated, Chen Xiao didn't want to miss his first futures trading opportunity.
He picked up his phone and called Su Tang.
"Hello? Is the futures account set up?"
"It's set up."
"Very good. At tomorrow's opening, buy cotton futures with ten times leverage."
