Chapter 14: Soybean Futures! Afraid of Brothers Driving Land Rovers
It took about forty minutes, and Bai Yu stumbled through a Great Heavenly Cycle.
How to describe the process? It was painful yet pleasurable.
During the circulation of energy, he could feel a sense of blockage.
He directly accelerated, like engaging a turbocharger, and pushed through, then felt a sense of relief.
Discovering that the relevant acupoints had no blood stasis, he felt even more at ease!
Moreover, during the circulation, he could feel a faint energy from the air entering his body.
“Ten Cycles will take seven hours,” Bai Yu estimated the time, realizing today’s task was arduous.
“It seems I can’t go to work, so I’ll just quit. The pay is so little anyway.”
Having made his decision, he continued circulating his energy.
He slowly became somewhat addicted, forgetting about time.
After about four Great Heavenly Cycles, it was eleven o’clock.
Bai Yu couldn’t hold on any longer and had to give up for now. He lay on the ground to rest for a while, and his phone rang again.
He opened it and saw a message from the trader, Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen: “【 News: A large-scale flood disaster has occurred in Rio State, Fourth Administrative Region. 】”
“The area affected by this flood disaster is a major soybean producing region.”
“Based on the reaction of the futures market, the contract price for half a month from now is 2.5 Federal Currency per jin, with an estimated increase of about 10%~15%.”
Although he had little contact with finance, Bai Yu knew that such a strong market reaction right after a flood disaster broke out was quite abnormal.
Many people understood this logic, but no one knew whether the capital behind it would choose to open positions and release grain to suppress prices and crush retail investors, or reduce grain sales and drastically increase prices to attract more people into the market.
“In any case, the Golden Finger indicates that it can still rise!”
“According to the information provided in the group chat, money can accomplish many things.”
“Over a million in funds is still far from enough!”
After reading the news for a while longer, he found that the fund group chat had exploded, with many people tagging him.
In this group, it was mainly the Group Owner who spoke; others rarely chatted.
He clicked to see.
Because few people were chatting, after the Great Flood news broke, soybean futures prices soared.
Bai Yu’s question, “How’s the soybean futures market?” stood out remarkably.
More importantly, the Group Owner’s previous analysis and confident promotion now seemed very embarrassing.
At this moment, others took screenshots of Bai Yu’s message and began to question the Group Owner’s ability.
Provoked by these people, the Group Owner began to retort.
Group Owner: “Let me put it this way, from any data perspective at the time, it was impossible to predict soybean price increases. This person was just asking casually.”
“But he might have wanted to buy, and then believed your nonsense and didn’t buy.”
Group Owner: “You’re splitting hairs. If you don’t believe me, ask him! He definitely didn’t buy.”
Group Owner: “@Bai Yu, brother, are you there?”
Seeing this, Bai Yu silently sent an emoji: “Bubbling.jpg.”
“I bought.”
Seeing Bai Yu reply, someone immediately asked, “Damn! Brother, how much did you buy?”
“About two hundred thousand.”
“Good heavens! With the current market, you’ve at least doubled your money, right? Maybe even more. This is absolutely fantastic, I’m so envious.”
“Big Boss, when is your contract date?”
Everyone was very concerned about this question.
If it was for three months later, then it would be uncertain.
But if it was a recent contract, the possibility of profit was very high!
Bai Yu: “Ten days later.”
“Then this is a sure win! Did the Big Boss get the news from somewhere? Or did you analyze it yourself?”
Bai Yu: “No analysis, pure luck.”
As soon as he said that, it was pure Versailles!
But many people still asked Bai Yu for any techniques or secrets.
Several people also added him as a friend.
Bai Yu relied on his Golden Finger and didn’t have much knowledge in his mind, so he pretended not to see them.
Of course, Bai Yu could have said: ‘I believe the soybean price increase will far exceed current expectations. If you have the means, you can consider buying short-term contracts from others at a premium.’
But there was no benefit for him in doing so.
Moreover, if the market fluctuated slightly tomorrow and the price dropped a little, and everyone felt that buying at a premium might lead to a huge loss, they might curse him.
So it was better to ignore them.
At this moment, his phone rang again.
【 Big Adopted Son 】
After answering, there was a moment of silence.
“Why aren’t you talking?”
“Wuwuwu~ Yu Ge, next time there’s a chance to make money, tell me. I’ll sell my house to follow you.”
“??? Where did you get the news? Did you install surveillance in my apartment?”
“. That fund group, you were the one who pulled me in.”
“Uh, right, speaking of which, I’m planning to quit my job at the media company. Starting today, I won’t be going anymore.”
“It’s only right, after all, this salary doesn’t match my Yu Ge! Wuwuwu~ Does Yu Ge know any rich older women? I have good stamina and a giant dragon spear.”
“Uh, could you repeat that? I’m going to start a recording.”
“. Yu Ge, since you’re not working anymore, what are your plans for the future?”
Bai Yu, if nothing else, was very capable of taking action.
He already had a plan in mind, so he said, “Take a taxi to my place now, I’ll take you somewhere.”
“Alright! I’m heading over now.”
Zhang Youpeng didn’t ask where they were going, hung up the phone, and immediately hailed a taxi.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu started contacting Brother Long in the group chat.
It was approaching noon.
The sun was incredibly hot.
Downstairs from the apartment building.
Zhang Youpeng excitedly got out of the car, and Bai Yu quickly went downstairs.
In the sunlight, Bai Yu’s fair face looked particularly striking, and Zhang Youpeng was stunned for a moment.
He thought to himself: How is his face even fairer than that pretty boy Wang Haobin?
Seeing his reaction, Bai Yu felt smug.
Heh heh~
Unexpectedly, Zhang Youpeng said, “Yu Ge, did you put on makeup? Are you planning to meet a beautiful woman?”
“.”
Bai Yu’s face darkened: “What’s so good about beautiful women? I’m taking you to a place where men should go.”
Zhang Youpeng’s eyes widened, and he looked around, noticing that the owner of a nearby convenience store seemed to have overheard this and muttered: “Young people these days don’t learn good things.”
As they walked on the road.
Bai Yu suddenly remembered that he had forgotten breakfast and lunch, and his stomach immediately protested.
“Let’s go eat first.”
Zhang Youpeng couldn’t help but be curious and said, “This isn’t the way to school, where are you taking me?”
“The gym. Your physique isn’t bad, you have a good foundation, you can train more.”
“. Gym?”
Zhang Youpeng’s spirits immediately deflated. He thought Bai Yu was taking him to a mysterious place like the Special Investigation Bureau.
“Yes, the gym. The person who owns the gym is someone from the group. I asked them carefully, and they said that the gym provides official supplements that can improve physique.”
“Damn! Doesn’t that mean ordinary people can also practice martial arts?”
“It’s not that exaggerated. The supplements in the gym are ordinary items like ginseng. However, they are not just ordinary items. These items, during the cultivation of Spiritual Plants, although they didn’t become Spiritual Items, they absorbed a lot of Spiritual Energy, so their effects are much better than ordinary supplements.”
“Then won’t it be very expensive?”
“It’s a bit expensive, but it won’t cost much for one person. I’ll pay for your gym membership.”
“No, it’s not necessary. I’ll just tell my parents.”
“Hey, there’s no need to be shy about this kind of thing. If you tell your parents about tens of thousands of Federal Currency in expenses, they’ll definitely ask a lot of questions. Since I’m paying now, you can easily repay me when you have the ability in the future.”
When Zhang Youpeng heard it would cost tens of thousands, he felt even more embarrassed.
But Bai Yu’s thoughts were different.
Deep down, he greatly admired the music and rituals of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, originating from the Zhou Rites.
A Gentleman’s word is heavier than Mount Tai! Even between nations, etiquette was important. However, later generations, skilled in political maneuvering, saw the collapse of rites and music, and with the oath of Sima family at the Luo River, etiquette was completely lost.
In contrast, the retainers of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were confidants.
When you encounter an enemy, you don’t need any words, and this person will avenge you!!
The entire process is this person’s own idea, and you won’t have any problems investigating it.
They can be called death warriors!
Of course, this is somewhat anti-human in modern society.
But a Gentleman judges by actions, not intentions.
Having arrived in another world and gained abilities, Bai Yu’s actions are about being good to his brothers!
A few tens of thousands of Federal Currency are nothing to him now.
It’s worth it to gain a good brother!
Moreover, there is another issue, which is the intelligence he initially saw: the annihilation of Tianhai Base City!
From this perspective, the future situation will inevitably be much worse than imagined, with millions of deaths!
Given the system of the Ninth Administrative Region, if they weren’t short-handed, how could they have allowed this to happen?
Bai Yu didn’t think his own strength was enough to turn the tide.
He really wanted to find more people, share information, and work together.
Of course, he wasn’t completely open with Zhang Youpeng.
For example, he didn’t mention the soybean futures.
After all, if he had told Zhang Youpeng, his family might be driving a Land Rover.
