The next day, Shanghai financial news reported that Lin Guangmao entered the cotton futures market with 6 million yuan and made a profit of 1.3 billion yuan in less than two months. He was recognized as a new generation of futures genius and was called the "futures madman" on the Internet.
Meanwhile, Ge Weidong invested 50 million yuan in the US cotton futures market and made a profit of 5 billion yuan, earning him the nickname "Eastern Heretic and Proud Pride".
Therefore, Li Yongwang, a reporter from Shanghai Finance Channel, specially brought his team to visit him at his home.
When interviewed by reporters, Lin Guangmao dressed up specially.
The reporter held the microphone to his mouth and asked, "Mr. Lin, how did you manage to grasp the upward trend in cotton futures? Is there any secret to it?"
Lin Guangmao: "The secret is long-term tracking. I have been tracking cotton futures for two years. When I was losing money, no one knew. Now that the bull market has arrived, I have not only spent time and energy, but also money to get to where I am today."
Reporter: "So, in terms of cotton futures, do you think you're better, or is Ge Weidong a cut above the rest?"
Lin Guangmao shook his head: "It's hard to evaluate this because I haven't seen his actual operational level. But I can say for sure that someone else in this cotton futures trading took delivery two days earlier than me. I remember that on November 1st, there were a lot of sell orders in the futures market, which caused the price to drop by several points that day."
Reporter: "Could it be either the Southern Emperor or the Northern Beggar?"
Lin Guangmao: "It wasn't them. I asked them about it on my blog when the fluctuations occurred that day."
Reporter: "Besides you, who else in China has this kind of talent?"
Lin Guangmao chuckled and said, "They say there are hidden masters among ordinary people. I'm just curious who this person is who is secretly making money in cotton futures. If possible, I hope your financial channel can dig him out."
Reporter: "If this account was registered under your own name, we should be able to find it easily. Mr. Lin, that concludes our interview today. Thank you for your cooperation."
"You're welcome."
After the interview, reporter Li Yongwang returned to the headquarters with the recorded video.
"Knock knock knock".
Knock on the director's office door.
He walked up to the station director and said, "Director, the interview video footage of Lin Guangmao has been completed, but I learned a mysterious piece of information from him."
The station director looked up at him and said unhappily, "Just say what you have to say. Why leave things half-said? I'm not interested in riddles."
Li Yongwang chuckled and said, "Lin Guangmao said that before he settled his cotton futures contracts, he discovered that someone had settled a large number of long cotton futures contracts two days before him, and it was a very large amount. Do you have any connections at the exchange? Can you ask someone to help you find out who it is?"
Upon hearing this, the station director's eyes lit up. "Old Li, wait a minute, let me make a call and ask."
He picked up his phone from the table, opened his contacts, found his friend's number, and dialed it.
"Hey, Lao Jiang, are you busy?"
On the other end of the phone, "Just finished working. Lao Liang, is there something you need? Are you planning to take me to a sauna tonight?"
Station manager: "It's no problem for me to take you to the sauna, but you have to do me a favor."
"Old Liang, you old rascal, I asked you to treat me to a sauna, and you're already trying to negotiate with me. I just can't do anything with you. So, what's up?"
Station Director: "Could you help me check who was selling large amounts of cotton futures long positions on your exchange a couple of days ago? I heard from Lin Guangmao that someone made even more money than him, and they were doing it secretly using multiple accounts."
"Okay, Lao Liang, I'll have someone check so you'll have to bleed a little. Just wait a few minutes."
Five minutes later, the station manager's phone rang.
"Hey, Lao Jiang, how's it going? Have you found anything?"
"Old Liang, I've had someone investigate. This person used ten accounts to operate, with a total amount exceeding five billion. All ten account names are a male and a female. The male account name is Chen Ze, and the female account name is Chen Xiyu. I've sent their information to your email. Please take a look."
"Okay, thanks, Lao Jiang. I'll be waiting for you at Heaven on Earth at 11 p.m. tonight."
After hanging up the phone, the station manager opened his email and quickly saw the information on Chen Ze and Shen Xiyu.
"Director, have you found out who it is?" Li Yongwang asked anxiously.
"We found out. The man's name is Chen Ze, he's from Guangcheng and he's 18 years old. The woman's name is Chen Xiyu, she's from Shanghai and she's 22 years old. Old Li, which of these two do you think is the mastermind?"
Li Yongwang handed a cigarette to the station director, lit one for himself, took a puff, and then began to ponder and analyze.
After a short while, Li Yongwang finally spoke up and analyzed, "I think Chen Ze is the mastermind behind it all, and it's more likely to be him."
The station director shook his head: "I think it's Shen Xiyu. After all, she's from Shanghai, so her family must be quite wealthy. Also, her address is in Haixing Community, and the people in that community are quite rich."
"On the other hand, Chen Ze's address is only in a rural area on the outskirts of Guangcheng. What money could a farmer have to invest in futures, right?"
"Director, how about this? My cousin works at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. I'll have him check these two people to see what assets they have."
"Okay, that's a good idea. Lao Li, make a call right away and see who guesses correctly."
Without hesitation, Li Yongwang called his cousin. After the call was connected, he told his cousin about his situation and asked him to help him look into it.
It's said that having connections in high places makes things easier, and this is a real-life example. In less than three minutes, his cousin found out about Chen Ze and Shen Xiyu's assets and told him about them one by one.
Li Yongwang chuckled smugly: "Director, I told you it was that guy. Look at his assets. He invested 20 million in Baihe Garment Factory, 5 million in Nanguang Catering Chain Co., Ltd., and 10 million in Panda Takeaway Network Technology."
The station director exhaled a smoke ring and asked in bewilderment, "Where would a country boy get so much money to invest in a company and set up a factory?"
"Maybe he's a money-making genius. I can't wait to interview him. Station manager, give me his phone number, and I'll go with my team to interview him right away."
"Old Li, it's already twelve o'clock. You can go after you finish eating."
"No, Director, I'll eat on the plane."
After obtaining Chen Ze's number, he immediately led his team to the airport. On the way, Li Yongwang called Chen Ze.
"..."
At Shenzhen University, Chen Ze had just taken a couple of bites in the cafeteria when Gao Pengfei and He Wenhui, a young couple, sat down opposite him.
"Old Chen, you're a bit underhanded. Why did you just leave without a word last time?"
Chen Ze explained, "Pengfei, last time my friend had a high fever, I rushed to take her to the hospital and didn't have time to tell you. I'm really sorry."
"Oh, okay, I forgive you."
"Wenhui, do you want to go to the hot springs tonight?"
A familiar voice came from behind.
Wu Meixuan was seen carrying a plate and sitting directly next to He Wenhui.
"How many people are going?" He Wenhui asked.
