Thoros's back-up plan was actually very simple, since he couldn't beat Jiang Cheng in the futures market.
Then he is going to use other methods to affect the price of platinum and raise the price of platinum.
Futures are only related to the price of goods. It does not mean that futures cannot be bypassed to directly affect physical goods.
If Thoros could use other methods to increase the price of platinum, he would still have the last laugh.
In this way, even if his funds are not as good as Jiang Cheng's, he can still defeat Jiang Cheng in the futures war.
Futures are not the only way to affect the price of platinum. There are many factors that can affect the price of platinum.
Although futures can greatly affect the price of goods, they are not a decisive factor.
In fact, futures are just a kind of financial derivatives, and they can only affect physical prices because they are too large.
But if the essential properties of this kind of goods change, futures will no longer be able to affect the physical goods.
Among them, the relationship between supply and demand is the most critical factor and the largest factor in determining the price of goods.
If the production of a good is less than the demand, the price will definitely skyrocket.
Jiang Cheng's trump card is actually related to this, and it is also a direct intervention in the price changes caused by the supply and demand of dry cleaning.
He was soon able to own four hundred tons of platinum, which was far more than the current demand for platinum in the world.
If this platinum flows into the market, it is impossible for the price of platinum not to fall.
Four hundred tons of platinum cannot be digested on the earth at all, and the price cannot possibly get any higher.
And the method Thoros wanted to use this time was actually similar to Jiang Cheng's trump card.
He plans to intervene in platinum production and reduce platinum output.
If platinum production declines, platinum prices will definitely rise significantly.
This is where the basic supply and demand relationship determines price, and this is something that futures cannot affect.
Unexpectedly, both sides of this futures war actually have similar trump cards.
It's just that while it can reduce the production of platinum, it can also take out massive amounts of surface platinum. The principles are exactly the same.
Jiang Cheng was able to produce so much platinum because he mined platinum on Mars.
So how can Thoros reduce platinum production? After all, he is not a platinum miner and cannot directly make a decision to reduce production.
However, people like Thoros naturally have their own ways to influence the platinum mining process.
Soon Thoros contacted a friend in South Africa and told him about this incident.
South Africa is the world's largest platinum producer. If there is any problem with platinum mining here, platinum production will be greatly affected in an instant.
At that time, the price of platinum will rise all the way, allowing Thoros to win the final victory.
The friend Thoros contacted was a special person who often dealt with shady matters.
After receiving Thoros' call, he secretly contacted some people, all of whom were a group of desperadoes.
After a month of detailed preparations, they took weapons and secretly sneaked into the world's largest platinum mine.
Although the platinum mine is quite tightly guarded, these people have figured out all the conditions inside the platinum mine within this month.
They even had a thorough understanding of the pathfinding routes of all the guards.
After sneaking into the platinum mine, they wreaked havoc inside the platinum mine.
There were even explosives that destroyed many mine tunnels, making it impossible for the platinum mine to resume production in a short period of time.
That's right, Thoros used a simple and crude method.
He directly found a group of people to destroy platinum mines and reduce platinum production in this way.
Thoros's move can be said to be very vicious. He directly took the trouble out of the situation and instantly reversed the situation with an off-board move.
Not to mention the effect of Thoros's move is really good, and the effect is enough immediately.
When the news of the destruction of the world's largest platinum mine came out, the price of platinum immediately began to rise. It quickly made up for the price drop during this period, and even exceeded the original price by a lot.
The world's largest platinum mine produces one-fifth of the world's total platinum production.
One-fifth of the production was lost in one fell swoop, and the rise in platinum prices seemed unstoppable.
Even though Oliver and the others were crazy about shorting platinum, the price of platinum was still rising.
"Damn it! Thoros must have hired someone to do what happened in South Africa!
I didn't expect Thoros to be so despicable, using such an unflattering trick!
Oliver was in his office, loudly cursing his rival Thoros. He knew at first sight that this was done by Thoros, and that no one else could do such a thing except him.
This time Thoros taught him a good lesson, letting him know that the futures market is not that simple.
What to do? What should we do now!
Oliver began to ask people around him, but no one could answer his questions.
Now this situation is no longer something they can solve. This has gone beyond the scope of the financial field and is simply not something they can solve.
Just when the atmosphere in the office gradually became tense, the young man Ryan put forward his own ideas.
"Perhaps we can go to Mr. Jiang for help. Since our opponent has already used off-the-table moves, we can't just sit back and wait for death."
This kind of thing can only be done by Mr. Jiang. He has the influence to solve the current problem.
When Oliver heard Lane's words, it was as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw.
Yes! Laine, you are right! Mr. Jiang said at the beginning that he still had the last trump card, which could completely reverse the current situation.
Now that the four-month deadline is coming soon, it's time to reveal the trump card that Mr. Jiang mentioned at the beginning. "
What Lever said was indeed correct. Now it's time for Jiang Cheng to reveal his trump card.
Oliver faced Thoros's off-the-table move, and now he has no solution at all.
In the end, Oliver had no choice but to call Jiang Cheng for help again, hoping that Jiang Cheng could solve their dilemma.
In Oliver's opinion, Jiang Cheng's influence is greater than Thoros's. Since the other party has already acted without following the rules, shouldn't Jiang Cheng respond accordingly
He felt that it was normal for Thoros to blow up the platinum mine unreasonably and Jiang Cheng to use some small tricks.
Oliver just dialed Jiang Cheng's phone and began to report the recent situation to Jiang Cheng.
Mr. Jiang, this is Oliver. I'm sorry to bother you again.
