Super Island Tycoon

Although the funding was secured, Oliver still had other questions for President Jiang Cheng, his employer.

So, this elderly white man respectfully asked Jiang Cheng, ”President Jiang, we all know your capabilities. With your guarantee on the funds, we’re not worried.”

However, I still want to know whether this operation is entirely up to us or if there are other requirements. It’s best to inform us in advance, otherwise we won’t proceed well.

What Oliver was really asking about was their trading permissions and whether they could independently engage in futures trading.

Some bosses impose certain restrictions on them during futures trading, directing them in a predetermined manner.

This is like setting the rules in advance and having them follow them accordingly.

While this method may limit their potential, restricting them from showing their full capabilities,

it’s a situation they frequently encounter and have already become accustomed to.

Futures trading often involves billions of dollars; if the boss doesn’t impose some restrictions, it would be surprising.

No one would feel secure transferring so much money to someone else; setting rules in advance is necessary.

This time they were hired by Jiang Cheng, so Oliver naturally had to ask for this big boss’s opinion first.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to make decisions on his own. Jiang Cheng isn’t someone he can afford to offend, so it’s better to clarify.

Hearing Oliver’s query, Jiang Cheng recalled the most important matter.

He hadn’t yet informed these traders about the specific direction of operations; they didn’t know he could control platinum prices.

If he didn’t clarify now, they definitely wouldn’t follow his approach to futures trading.

After all, who would have thought that Jiang Cheng was mining platinum on Mars and had already extracted over five hundred tons, on its way back to Earth?

They wouldn’t expect that platinum prices would crash in four months; they might even go long.

No one would think Jiang Cheng could disrupt current platinum prices, which is how he plans to profit this time.

Since no one knows Jiang Cheng’s ultimate trump card, some are willing to go against him, believing they can’t lose even with more funds.

After all, futures trading is a zero-sum game; without someone to counter him, the plan can’t be executed.

Given his strong position, Jiang Cheng, of course, wants to explain things clearly to the traders in front of him.

”Since you brought up this issue, let me clarify things for you here,” he said.

This time, in the platinum futures trading, all you need to do is to keep shorting.

The specific implementation is a long-term trading strategy, focus on contracts expiring in four months.

Although Jiang Cheng had to clarify the trading strategy with them, he still didn’t disclose everything.

After all, these people were only temporarily hired and can’t be fully trusted.

Anyway, you can know in advance that platinum prices will plummet in four months. I have absolute assurance on this; just follow this idea in your operations.

Even if platinum prices rise within this period, don’t worry; just focus on shorting. Even if there’s a temporary loss, it will be recouped after four months.

In the end, Jiang Cheng subtly mentioned the matter of platinum price decline without specifying the reason.

Jiang Cheng held back a bit, temporarily hiding his biggest trump card.

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s explanation, all the traders had strange expressions on their faces.

This was the first time they had encountered such a request; shorting wasn’t an issue, perhaps it was due to Jiang Cheng’s belief in future price drops.

Clearly setting the price decline at four months later without worrying about interim price increases.

They couldn’t understand how Jiang Cheng made such a judgment, what gave him the certainty that platinum prices would significantly drop in four months.

If it were merely a prediction of major trends or future directions, it would be just a forecast of future industries.

But how could Jiang Cheng accurately predict the timing of price volatility, which was incomprehensible to them?

A young trader stood out at this time, questioning Jiang Cheng, ”President Jiang, how did you make such a judgment? We have never seen such an operational method.

In four months, anything could happen. If the price doesn’t drop significantly by then, you will incur great losses.” Besides, if we keep shorting, we’ll lose substantial funds during those four months; it’s simply a huge gamble.

This young trader’s worries were reasonable; if platinum prices did not move as Jiang Cheng expected, Jiang Cheng could face significant losses.

Facing this trader’s skepticism, Jiang Cheng coldly laughed and responded, ”How I made such a judgment is not something I can explain right now. You’ll naturally know in four months.

What you need to understand is that I’ve hired you here, so just follow my instructions.

I don’t need you to believe I’m correct because I am never wrong!

You just need to know that I am right; you don’t need to know why!

When he said this, Jiang Cheng exuded absolute confidence, as if everything was under his control.

Facing others’ doubts, Jiang Cheng confidently responded once again.

As Jiang Cheng spoke, a semblance of an authoritative aura radiated from him.

Jiang Cheng was no longer the same; long at the top, he developed a commanding aura.

As he spoke, he inadvertently revealed this aura.

The young trader who questioned Jiang Cheng was either intimidated by his aura or for some other reason,

stood frozen on the spot, his face turning pale from Jiang Cheng’s words, and his hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably.

It was obvious the young man was terrified by Jiang Cheng, standing there in a daze.

Jiang Cheng barely revealed a hint of authority, which led to this outcome.

That’s the additional effect of Jiang Cheng’s status; his position now is incomparable to a mere trader, and how could it allow such questioning?
