When such bad news came, everyone, who were already feeling uneasy, immediately felt uncomfortable all over.
In the office, the lights were dim, and the white paint on the walls had turned slightly yellow due to the erosion of time. Several old maps and portraits of great men were hung on the walls, and they seemed to be oppressed by the heavy atmosphere.
The old man also frowned, staring at everyone present with his sharp eyes. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate everyone's minds and see through their worries and struggles.
No one else dared to speak, not even Secretary Xiao Liu, who wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere.
But I also don’t know what to say that would be more appropriate.
After all, in this situation, the news of investors committing suicide in the United States can't help but make us feel a little sad.
final……
After a long silence of more than ten minutes, the old man was the first to speak: "Look everyone! This is how capitalism harms people!
It is obvious that this time the soybean futures market was secretly manipulated by unscrupulous capitalists.
These investors who speculate in the capital market have become the prey of these capitalists.
They were all squeezed dry, completely worthless, and they also lost hope of living.
Actually, everyone should be familiar with this kind of thing.
In Shanghai before liberation, people lived a life of decadence and extravagance, and many people became rich overnight by speculating in stocks.
Similarly, there are even more people who jumped off buildings because they lost everything they had due to stock speculation.
Even our old rival, Principal Jiang, also speculated in stocks in Shanghai in his early years and lost a lot of money, didn’t he? "
In the corner of the office, an old electric fan stood quietly, its blades covered with dust, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.
"Yeah! Capitalism kills people!"
"Yes! Marx said that these capitalists are all exploiting the workers' surplus value and are blood-sucking leeches of the entire country and society."
“Capital does not engage in production, but takes away the most lucrative part of the profits from production and operation activities.
Fortunately, we are a socialist country and we implement a fair system of distribution according to work."
"Chief! Then why don't we sell our soybean futures? We've only lost half of it now. If we sell it in time, we can get back 5 million US dollars."
…
The rather depressing atmosphere was broken, and Professor Li immediately made a suggestion.
Others, including Director Liu Hongru, who had been determined to implement the forest fire plan, were also anxious at this time, hoping that the old man could give an order to sell the soybean futures orders immediately.
but……
At this moment, the old man remained calm and pointed to the phone in front of him and said:
"Wait for the call! Trust the judgment of our comrades!
Comrades! Didn’t you see that it has already been written in the plan that the behind-the-scenes dealers, the Hunt brothers, are very likely to use the method of repeated price fluctuations to force investors to lose money?
Our comrade has anticipated this, so we should trust his judgment even more."
The old man's words were like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, immediately making everyone present calm and rational.
Professor Li and Professor Wu hurried to look through the plan, and indeed saw this passage on it.
Although they had seen this passage when they were studying the plan before, they just regarded it as a cliché like "Stocks are risky, so be cautious when entering the market."
But at this moment, seeing such words again, they had to admire the comrades who formulated this plan.
"Commander, let's wait a little longer. We've already lost half of our money. If we sell out now and the price goes up again, we'll lose a lot."
After reading it, Professor Li let out a long sigh of relief, and then inexplicably became excited.
"That's right! You must remember that in the future, when our country opens up to the outside world, it will gradually start from different industries.
Ultimately, once the financial industry is opened to the outside world, you will be the backbone of our country and will have to resist attacks from financial speculators like the Hunt brothers!
You see, even though the United States is so strong now, its futures market is still not sound enough, and the Hunt brothers have found such a way to manipulate market prices and use the monopoly and aggregation of big funds to repeatedly engage in arbitrage.
Those investors with small capital can only become leeks to be harvested..."
Taking this opportunity, the old man felt it was necessary to teach these professors and officials a lesson.
If this investment can help them gain a deeper understanding of the risks and speculative arbitrage behaviors in the financial markets, it will be worth it even if they lose all the 10 million US dollars.
"Don't feel any psychological burden, I told you this long ago!
If you lose money, you lose it! Just treat it as tuition fee!
Are we paying enough tuition fees in the fields of chemical engineering and machinery now?
Those capitalist countries sold us those outdated production lines and equipment that were about to be eliminated at high prices.
We have to rush to get it!
Why is this? Because we are backward!
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you don’t want to be beaten, you have to grit your teeth and sell everything you have to catch up.
The same principle applies in the financial field.
Our domestic financial markets are even more fragile and immature, and cannot withstand any damage from foreign capital.
So if our country wants to be strong and prosperous, it is time for the financial sector to pay the price!"
The people who were originally confused and worried, suddenly all became clear after hearing the old man's words, just like the sun coming out after the clouds had been cleared away.
