At the same time, Hong Kong Island, the Fok family.
The main body of the mansion is a European-style building. The off-white exterior walls emit a soft light under the sunlight. The tall floor-to-ceiling windows are bright and clean, and the exquisite layout of the house can be clearly seen through the windows.
In the study, a heavy solid wooden desk was placed in the center, piled with various financial information and documents. A globe next to it reflected a metallic luster under the light.
Huo Yingdong, who was closely following the international soybean futures trading, was sitting in a high-back chair behind his desk, looking at a report intently.
At this time, my subordinate reported that the price of soybeans soared and plummeted today.
The eldest son, Huo Zhenting, was sitting in a corner of the study, facing a large table and summarizing today's price information.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of papers flipping and the ticking of the wall clock could be heard. While sorting out the information, Huo Zhenting said to Huo Yingdong with lingering fear: "Dad! You are right, this futures market is really like gambling."
“The prices are like a roller coaster, rising sharply and then plummeting.”
He paused for a moment and continued, "In the morning, the account on the mainland had made a profit of more than 10 million US dollars."
"However, we have not received any instructions from them to sell."
Huo Zhenting's tone was filled with helplessness. "So, now we can only watch them return all their profits."
"In the end, at this price, we've lost more than two million dollars." He frowned, his face full of worry. "It looks like the price of soybean futures will continue to fall. Should we... help the mainland to close the position and stop the loss?"
"You bastard! Is this something you can decide?"
Huo Yingdong's face changed immediately, and he sternly taught his son a lesson, "We are just helping the mainland to find a covert channel to speculate in futures. All buying and selling must follow the instructions from the mainland."
"I know you mean well and want to help the mainland stop the losses. However, you can think of it but you must not overstep your authority. This is a matter of principle." Huo Yingdong's eyes were firm and unquestionable.
"Daddy! I get it. I'm anxious too!"
Huo Zhenting said with some grievance, "We know that the soybean speculation this time was all the mainland's own idea."
"But the outside world doesn't know! If word gets out that our Huo family helped the mainland speculate in futures and lost hundreds of millions of dollars, where would we put our faces?" He shook his head helplessly.
"Well! You don't have to worry about these. But I'm also wondering why the mainland is still reluctant to sell it?"
Huo Yingdong frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. "It's obvious that the price of soybeans was hyped up to the peak, and then plummeted. It is estimated that it will continue to fall back to last year's daily level."
"If the mainland doesn't sell, it's possible that the entire 10 million US dollars will be lost."
Although he was very concerned about this transaction, it was only 10 million US dollars after all, which was not a huge amount of money for him.
However, he was very curious. There have been huge changes in the mainland recently! Not only did he start thinking about speculating in futures, but he was also so calm that he remained indifferent even when the price fell below the cost price, as if he was not afraid of losing money at all.
…
Likewise, Japan.
Chuo Industries Co., Ltd. is located in a modern office building in a bustling area of Tokyo. Through the company's spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, one can overlook the bustling streets and busy crowds downstairs.
For more than a week, the company's president, Lin Tongchun, has focused his daily work on the price fluctuations of soybean futures.
His office is luxuriously decorated, with soft and comfortable leather sofas and several expensive art paintings hanging on the walls.
However, at this moment, Lin Tongchun had no intention of appreciating these things. Even the normal operation of the company's business was left to his secretary and subordinates, and he had no intention of managing it at all.
Most friends who have traded stocks have similar experiences.
After spending most of my savings on a certain stock, I would wish to refresh the stock price every second when I went to work to see whether I had made a profit or a loss.
If I make a lot of money today, I will feel very happy and think that it doesn't matter if I don't work. I can earn much more from investment and financial management than from working. I can earn a week's or even a month's salary in one day.
But if you lose money, especially if the loss is big, you will feel even more depressed. When you think about working hard for a month, but the loss is not enough for one morning, you will not want to work in this crappy class for a day.
I have to say that when it comes to investments like stocks and futures, mentality is really important.
"Haha! It's increased! And it's increased dramatically! It's incredible! The principal has more than doubled. Lin Huowang and I have earned more than 1.3 million US dollars..."
When the stock price skyrocketed in the morning, Lin Tongchun was so elated that he stood up from his chair excitedly and immediately called the State Guesthouse in Chuncheng, wanting to tell Lin Huowang the good news of making money as soon as possible.
However, the hotel staff told him that Lin Huowang had already left Chuncheng. Lin Tongchun felt a little unhappy!
How could Lin Huowang not know about this great news? So Lin Tongchun called his daughter, Xiaolin Keiko, and asked the driver to take her to the countryside to find Lin Huowang and tell him the good news.
"Father! I'll leave now, but I won't be able to reach Lin Huowang Jun until the evening at the earliest."
Keiko Kobayashi was also very happy and didn't feel the journey was long or bumpy at all.
