Chapter 162: Declare war on the whole world! (ask for monthly ticket)
The following days were relatively peaceful for Li Changhe.

In addition to following the news, Li Changhe's biggest job is to continue to improve the "Rise of Great Powers" with his classmates.

As for the news, he also saw a lot of practices that were consistent with his memories of his previous life.

For example, on May 4th, Britain’s Iron Lady came to power.

This also means that in the next ten years, Britain will start selling, selling, selling.

He began to sell all of his state-owned assets to individuals, starting a comprehensive privatization.

Even the giant companies in industries such as military industry and infrastructure that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Maybe in a few years I can see if there is an opportunity to buy some technology companies from this wave.

As far as Li Changhe knew, this time, Da Ying sold off all of its automobile companies and technologies, among other things.

Maybe you can try it if you have the chance.

For example, after the original Beijing TV Station was transformed into CCTV, the new Beijing TV Station was also established on May 16th.

In addition, there is the issue of the war in the south. However, under the slight influence of Li Changhe, the results achieved seem to be much more fruitful than in the past.

A few days ago, Lao Kou received a commendation issued by the military.

Along with the commendation came a promotion, with his rank rising to 22, equivalent to a level 4 clerk in the system, and his salary also increased to yuan.

Today's army has not yet restored the military rank system, and implements job grades just like the administrative system. Level 22 is actually the level after college students are converted to regular employees. For Lao Kou, this is already one step ahead of other students.

The most important thing is that with this commendation, his resume will look even better in the future. In addition, as a Peking University graduate, as long as he does not make any mistakes, Lao Kou can be guaranteed a smooth career in the military for at least ten years.

Kou Kuige was of course delighted to receive this award, and at the same time he was even more grateful to Li Changhe.

Lao Kou originally wanted to treat Li Changhe to a meal to express his gratitude, but Li Changhe didn't think it was a big deal, but there was no need to treat him separately.

In the end, it turned into a dormitory dinner to celebrate Kou Kuige.

Then, Li Changhe continued to devote himself to the compilation of The Rise of Great Powers.

In mid-May, Liu Hongtu brought Li Changhe the exact news that the People's Literature Publishing House had decided to publish this work.

After receiving the accurate news, the students in the Rise of a Great Power creative group were even more motivated.

Putting aside other things, being able to have their own name on a published work is a great honor for many of them.

Wang Jian, on behalf of the Peking University Alumni Association, published a statement in the People's Daily newspaper, which mainly warned college students across the country to suspend the sale of "The Rise of Great Powers" magazine.

This is not a difficult matter, because many people at Peking University have connections with the People's Daily at home, and issuing a statement will not take up much space.

However, this statement has added fuel to the fire of "The Rise of Great Powers". After all, it can be considered a disguised form of advertising.

Peking University Alumni Society received more letters, most of which were concerned about the publication of "The Rise of Great Powers".

By the beginning of June, with the help of his classmates working overtime, Li Changhe had basically sorted out more than 90% of the manuscripts.

Everyone wanted to finish "The Rise of Great Powers" before the summer vacation. After all, once the summer vacation comes, many students will have to go home, and the progress will be delayed.

If it is completed before the holiday, perhaps the publishing house will be able to complete the editing and proofreading work during the summer vacation, and maybe they will be able to see the finished book when the second half of the semester starts.

While Li Changhe and his colleagues were working hard, in Chicago, far across the ocean, the silver storm that Li Changhe had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

Chicago, the same office.

"Phew, damn, it's so hot outside!"

At this time, Porter hurriedly ran back into the house from outside, felt the cool air of the air conditioner, and exhaled deeply.

"Hey, Porter, this is Chicago showing you her passion."

A colleague said to him humorously.

He was talking about a joke someone wrote in the newspaper, which said that Chicago's summer is like a passionate bunny girl who shows her hotness to people every summer.

"Well, if it weren't for our order, maybe I would be in Seattle right now."

This is the coolest summer resort in the United States. It is close to the Pacific Ocean and has a high latitude. Even in July, the average temperature is only around 20 degrees.

"Okay, Porter, hurry up and work. We need to continue collecting orders and increasing our positions as much as possible."

Inside the office, their leader James spoke to Porter in a deep voice.

Their work is no easier now than it was last month.

Hearing the boss' words, Potter spread his hands.

"Okay, Boss, let me cool down, I'll make the call right away."

But just as he finished speaking, the phone on the desk rang.

Not only his, but everyone's phone in the office started ringing.

Potter immediately returned to his desk and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

Potter smiled and greeted the person on the phone.
But after a moment, a look of surprise appeared on Potter's face.

After hanging up the phone, he said to James: "Boss, the call is from the securities company, asking if we want to sell the contract in our hands."

"It's the same with me. The futures brokerage company asked us if we could issue a contract."

"Boss, me too!"

James also put down the phone at this time, his face full of solemnity.

"Mine too, everyone!"

The fact that the futures brokerage company called so many people at once meant that someone had started to buy silver futures contracts on a large scale.

And this contract quantity is definitely not a small number, otherwise the futures brokerage company would not take the initiative to call them to inquire. "Boss, does this mean that the price is going to go up?"

Potter asked hesitantly at this time.

They are also veteran traders, and have actually keenly noticed during this period that there are people manipulating the silver futures market.

But before, the dealer was steadily buying in and slowly raising the price, but now, the other party has shown his fangs.

"Can't tell!"

James shook his head.

This kind of large-scale purchase may be to continue to raise prices to prepare inventory, but it is more likely to raise prices first and then sell out frantically.

After all, in this era, once bulls buy in large quantities, speculators will quickly follow suit, trying to get a piece of the pie. The trading volume will rise sharply, and some market makers will take this opportunity to close their positions and reap the benefits of this wave of speculators.

Generally speaking, this is a routine operation in the futures market, so James did not cheer at the first moment, but looked solemn.

The funds in the futures market are just paper data until they are fully cashed out.

Even though they are making profits now, if the price drops, it will only take a few days for them to go from profit to loss.

Most importantly, once the price market starts to collapse, there will be no one to take over the contract.

When the market is rising, speculators will take over and sell it, but when the market collapses, short sellers will just wait for the price to hit the bottom. Only a few people dare to try in the middle.

Buying high and selling low is the nature of most futures speculators.

"Don't make any moves yet, wait for me to make a few phone calls!"

James was not in a hurry to report to his boss at this moment. He needed more and more accurate information.

The traders in the office were also staring at him at this time.

James then sat down at the desk, picked up the phone and started dialing quickly.

The numbers he dialed were all the connections he had accumulated over the years, and they were all elites in the industry.

What he wants to confirm now is how big the appetite of the banker behind the scenes is.

"Hey Joey, it's me, James, are you trading silver futures right now?"

"What? You want to buy the contract too? Damn it, I just got the news too, let's exchange it."

"Hello, Will. The silver futures market is hot right now. Do you have any contracts? I heard that some big players have entered the market."

"What? Tens of millions of ounces. Are you sure?"

"Hey, Bill, this is James. Can you tell me how many orders are being received in the silver futures market?"

"Five hundred dollars? Shit, you greedy vampire, but I agree. Five hundred dollars, tell me the news."

After James finished the call, he turned around and looked at his colleagues in the office.

"Cheers, guys!"

At this moment, James shouted loudly to his colleagues.

"Wow, Boss, it seems you got accurate information?"

"I don't know the details, but I know that the market makers behind the scenes have a huge appetite. They have issued a purchase target of more than 40 million ounces in the futures brokerage company."

"Forty million ounces?"

After hearing what James said, everyone present showed a look of shock on their faces.

A silver futures contract is one contract for 5,000 ounces, or one lot.

Forty million ounces means eight thousand lots!
Is it too much?

In this day and age, there are a lot of them.

After all, this is not the era of the future where one can buy thousands or tens of thousands of contracts at will by tapping the keyboard. How many contracts have been issued in the entire Chicago Stock Exchange?

Moreover, the current trading model is mainly based on manpower, and transactions are time-consuming.

The most important thing is that once such a large volume of orders is released, it means that the entire silver futures market will go crazy.

A large number of speculators will definitely flock in, what does that mean?
Does it mean that trading volume will increase? Will prices rise wildly?

No, what it actually represents are green leeks and green US dollars.

"Wow, we're going to be rich."

“I’m going to Hawaii for vacation this year.”

“I want to move to a bigger villa”

"I'm going to find ten blondes and white girls and throw a big party!"

The traders in the office cheered wildly at this moment.

Although the money in the account is not theirs, they can see the huge profits that will come.

This also means that they will receive an extremely generous bonus, which is income and wealth.

At the same time, James picked up the phone and called his boss with confidence.

The time has come for him to report the good news to his boss.

What James didn't know was that the silver madness had just begun.

The Hunt brothers have been working with the Saudi royal family for several years, and finally this summer, they began to declare war on futures traders around the world!

(besides!)
