Chapter 1865: Tall Buildings Rise and Collapse!
February 13th.
Governor Charles publicly stated that the thugs who attacked the native tribes had been caught and specific information would be released after the trial.
"This time, I would like to especially thank Minister George of the SHIELD South Africa branch for his assistance. It was his heroic SHIELD agents who discovered these thugs..."
The Governor's speech will take some time to brew before it reaches the other side of the ocean.
At this time, across North America and Europe, public rumors about AD-B had caused an uproar.
“Prior to this, I only correct the false rumors about AD-B in the market on behalf of the AD-B board of directors.
The company's independent and joint venture mines in North America, South America, Indonesia, Asia, Africa and other places are operating well, although the company encountered considerable troubles and obstacles during the period.
However, the supply chain remains normal, which is enough to ensure the entire market demand. On the 12th, AD-B has reached a purchase agreement with Sumitomo Society of Japan.
The annual supply required in the future is 160,000 tons, and the annual output of the company's Tailong copper mine in North America alone is enough to meet the supply..."
…
"Sell it, sell it all, hurry up!"
As soon as they heard the news, all institutions rushed their traders like crazy.
Some people even threw away their phones and ran downstairs to the Commodity Exchange not far from the New York Stock Exchange after finding that they couldn't get through.
There was a lot of noise and the exchange was already packed with people.
But anyone with ears and eyes can hear only one sound: falling.
Prices ranging from 1,811 yuan/ton to 1,795 yuan/ton to 1,750 yuan/ton make people feel breathless.
"1,600 yuan/ton, sell them all." As soon as the price was cut in half, everyone's eyes went dark and they almost fainted.
And more people are blindly shouting 1595, 1590, 1550...
As crazy as copper prices are when they rise, they are so disappointing when they fall at this time.
The numbers on the blackboard are often erased and rewritten before they can even be written down, over and over again.
When UUS and a number of companies involved in the copper mining industry issued statements confirming that supply exceeded demand,
Copper mine prices have plummeted like a diving board.

Sitting in the trembling H2 car, Mary, who had barely slept for three days, was sleeping soundly in his arms.
Julie leaned in the crook of his left arm, while the right arm was occupied by the relatively smaller Celia and Elena.
Although it is wonderful to be doubly happy, Li Zitao still feels a little helpless when encountering this situation.
With his hands occupied, he still had his wife in his arms. He had no way to use his strength but had to maintain his balance. He could only use his waist and feet to hold her firmly in place.
With Li Zitao's control over his body and his strong physique, he also felt pain in his back and legs.
For an ordinary person, this would have been useless.
Therefore, if you want to experience double the happiness, don’t consider it if you don’t cheat.
Li Zitao spent a lot of effort to get the support of many mining companies, especially the support of UUS Company.
Fortunately for companies related to AD-B and Mellon, Li Zitao is also one of the shareholders of UUS Steel.
But with only 6% of the shares, he is considered the second largest individual shareholder, but he actually does not have much say.
However, his status as the founder of the Li Group greatly magnifies the influence of his 6% stake.
UUS chose to cooperate with his actions after learning that it was profitable.
Before copper prices rose, UUS shareholders began to scan the U.S. stock market and secretly absorb company shares.
When the price of copper rose to its peak, and the shares of various steel companies also rose accordingly, large batches of small-amount sales orders began to appear in the U.S. stock market.
Before UUS came out, they had already released 35% of their shares.
The same is true for AD-B, ensuring that the total shares held by each shareholder exceed 65%, and letting go of the rest.
In the U.S. stock market alone, the two companies earned nine-digit net profits.
Next, the price of copper mines fell off a cliff. When it fell to undervaluation, it could repurchase shares at a lower price, which equals another profit.
Who said: A radish cannot be cut from both ends?
Compared with others, Li Zitao not only has to cut both ends, but also cuts in sections.
Cut it horizontally, cut it vertically, whatever you want!
First, copper prices rose to grab 550 million, and then they made a huge profit from the U.S. stock market.
Although the final profits and respective shares have not yet been released, they are at least in the eight figures.
In fact, he doesn't value this income very much.
The copper futures that were knocked to the bottom were his real goal and big head.
When AD-B, UUS, and other companies issued statements, the international copper price had soared to 1,867 yuan/ton.
This is a crazy price. Even if you buy it at 1,000 yuan/ton, it is enough to make a lot of money.
I don’t know how many middle-class people have invested their life savings in this crazy game.
But no matter how high I stood at the beginning, how high I fell now.
Fortunately, those who see the situation clearly and let go early will make more or less profit, and some who make decisive decisions will make a lot of money.
Their net worth has increased from six figures to seven figures, and even close to eight figures.
But those who are greedy or enter the market too late can only watch in despair as the price of copper drops below the thousand-yuan mark.
900, 800…
There is no need to look back. In the financial world of Manhattan, former financial white-collar workers walked towards the rooftop, their crumbling figures looking like the living dead.
Whenever I see a new partner joining me, a clear and bitter smile will appear on the corner of my mouth, as if to say: Brother, here we come.
…
Four days later, the price of copper fell by 700 yuan/ton, and thunderous applause and cheers came from the trading room of Wells Fargo.
All donations were repaid, and the total profit exceeded 13 billion, a number that makes people feel dreamy.
If the amount was not too large and in order to leave the market cleanly, this number could be increased by about 800 million.
In other words, just to get the refund of the exit coupons, including borrowing fees from various channels, US$800 million was spent.
It sounds really heartbreaking, but compared to the total benefits, it seems like nothing.
This time, the rich countries’ own funds are US$2.5 billion, accounting for 29.41% of the total.
Profit was 3.8233 billion, an extremely festive number.
However, the carrot has not been cut for the last time, and Li Zitao is still waiting for news from the country.
Who started this drama? Wang Dagou already has news.
"This time, I want to see how you explain it!" Looking at the women around him, Li Zitao felt proud in his heart.
…
Boston.
Little Kendi and Norma leave Kendi Manor in a car.
"Is something wrong?" Suddenly being called back by Old Kendi, Norma was worried that something had happened again.
In order to be with little Kendi, her relationship with Lee was very unhappy.
Although she has been repaired in recent years, she is still in an awkward position. She only talks on the phone occasionally, and is no longer even invited to festive family dinners.
Norma was really worried that the relationship between the two parties had deteriorated again.
"I don't know." Little Kendi's eyes were full of doubt and confusion.
His father called him home and said many incomprehensible words, and he acted extremely tolerant and gentle.
He had never seen such an arbitrary side of his father.
A voice inside told little Kendi that something had happened, but he couldn't find any clues.
Nothing seems to affect the Kendi family during this period. Why?
