Super Island Tycoon

However, Jiang Cheng returned from Mars with platinum because this metal is a key material for spaceship manufacturing, not because he wanted to sell it for money.

Therefore, the drop in platinum prices didn’t have much impact on Jiang Cheng, and he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Of course, the sharp drop in platinum prices still held significant meaning for Jiang Cheng.

Because the drop in platinum prices represented the victory of the short position in the platinum futures market.

It also signified that Jiang Cheng had won this futures battle and could start harvesting the funds his opponents had invested.

When the price of platinum had fallen by half, Soros had already completely failed.

They are now being forcibly closed out and have lost all the funds they had invested.

This means that the futures battle, which lasted four months, has finally come to an end with curtains down.

This time, Jiang Cheng put out five hundred tons of platinum, shattering Soros’s dream directly.

Soros wanted to use underhanded methods to defeat Jiang Cheng, but didn’t expect to lose so thoroughly.

In the Quantum Fund office, Soros sat on his favorite chair, staring blankly at the TV in front of him, which was showing some economic news.

Due to the five hundred tons of platinum Jiang Cheng brought back, the international platinum trading price began to collapse, and the impact on the precious metals trading market continued.

Soros stared blankly at the news on TV, his eyes devoid of the sharpness they usually had and instead lost all color.

As soon as the platinum was revealed, Soros knew he had already lost this time. The current situation confirmed his suspicions, as he lost all the funds he invested and everything else he had.

This legendary figure who once made waves in the financial markets had finally come to the end of his road.

Soros sat in the chair for a long time before making any other movements.

Slowly, a glimmer appeared in his eyes, filled with unwillingness and despair.

Why did I lose this time, why am I the one who lost everything in the end, and why did Jiang Cheng enter the futures market!

Soros murmured in unwillingness, but no complaint could change anything now.

In fact, Soros deeply regretted standing against Jiang Cheng this time, not expecting to be caught in Jiang Cheng’s market funds.

At first, when he learned Jiang Cheng entered the futures market, Soros was full of disdain.

Although Jiang Cheng is a super genius unmatched in business and the field of scientific research, the futures market is completely different from those fields, and Soros believed he was the true king of this domain.

Perhaps he was too conceited, which made him underestimate Jiang Cheng’s capabilities in the futures market.

Under this arrogant mentality, Soros ultimately decided to participate in this futures battle.

But during the course of the battle, Soros saw Jiang Cheng’s terrifying capital, nearly crushed by the money Jiang Cheng invested.

Due to insufficient funds, Soros had to break the unwritten rules of futures trading and resort to some disreputable means.

When Soros sent people to sabotage the platinum mines, he had already lost the battle in the futures trading market.

But even after losing dignity and using methods outside the financial realm, Soros still couldn’t defeat Jiang Cheng.

In the end, Jiang Cheng straightforwardly defeated Soros with five hundred tons of platinum.

Now Soros’s Quantum Fund has been forcibly closed; there’s no chance for a comeback even if they wanted.

In the futures battle between Soros and Jiang Cheng this time, Jiang Cheng achieved the final victory.

Jiang Cheng, someone who had never ventured into the financial sector before, surprisingly emerged victorious in the end, against everyone’s expectations.

No one thought Jiang Cheng would extract platinum on Mars and successfully bring it back to Earth.

It was owing to Jiang Cheng’s straightforward and brute methods that Soros, the old fox, was trapped.

In the end, Soros didn’t expect to end up like this.

Now he is utterly desperate, having lost a colossal sum of US Dollars 30 billion this time.

This money wasn’t his alone; Soros, unlike Jiang Cheng, couldn’t easily put forth so much money.

The 10 billion US Dollars he invested, many were raised from others.

Now not only did he lose his backers’ funds, but he also cost his allies 20 billion US Dollars.

Those who lost their money aren’t going to let him off easily.

For profits of even tens of millions, capitalists would kill, let alone the stakes of this sum of US Dollars 30 billion.

Soros knew these capitalists would never let him off, having lost so much money; they would make sure he couldn’t live.

He had spent so much time with these capitalists and understood their ways too well.

Soon there might just appear news of his accidental death, in an ’accident’ that seems way too coincidental.

Soros, however, didn’t want to accept dying in that way, a fate arranged by someone else, which for him was an insult.

I cannot die without dignity; I, Soros, have roamed the financial world for so many years, even if to die it must be with dignity.

Soros shouted unwillingly, wanting to avert such an end.

But Soros also knew, giving those people an explanation was now impossible, only his death could compensate for their losses.

Thus Soros made one final decision, preparing to end his own life.

This time, even if he must die, he wants to die with some dignity.

He, Soros, isn’t someone who can be controlled at will; only he can kill himself.

After making the final decision in his heart, Soros struggled to stand up and walked towards his desk.

In the bottom drawer of the desk, there was a sealed small box, and Soros’s target now was this small box.

He tremulously opened the drawer, revealing the small box inside.

Soros picked up the small box he had prepared long ago, hesitated for a moment, and then opened it.

Inside the box was a small black pill, which Soros had placed there a long time ago.

This black pill is a highly lethal poison, capable of taking a person’s life within seconds upon ingestion.

Soros had long anticipated such a situation, and this poison was prepared precisely for such times.

Soros had long understood one truth, that in his line of work, there would inevitably be a day of failure.

In finance, the fate of losers is too miserable, so by then he could end his life with this poison.
