Meanwhile in the Somerland futures
market, Kelly Group was very strong
willed. When they said they would invest 1
o billion, the funds arrived immediately
without any hesitation.
When this 10 billion short order entered
the domestic futures market, Soros’s
scalp was tingling.
Kelly Group was not the only one making
his scalp tingle.
Because one after another, a large number
of short orders began to appear in various
sub-catalogs of Somerland domestic
foodstuff futures.
There were many short orders
everywhere for soybeans, wheat, and
other products.
These lists were not large when they were
on their own. The largest amounts were
just orders with hundred million as the
unit of measurement, but the sheer
number of orders were too much.
According to past experience, Soros immediately asked the team to analyze where these scattered short orders came from. It would be fine if he did not analyze it, as he started cursing immediately after the analysis.
The sources of these short orders were almost all from the Somerland mainland and there were various sources for the short orders.
It was fine for some of them that were food companies. They would be considered forward-looking and strategic if they were willing to take out ten thousands to short sell. They knew that they would only get short-term benefits if the price continued to rise. If the pricing power of future foodstuff prices were to b e robbed by the West, they would be finished sooner or later.
So, this kind of short-selling was reasonable, but if you were a hardware company and a small company with a profit of only 20 million a year, why the hell would you put together 4 million and start short-selling foodstuffs?
“Aren’t these rascals from Somerland
afraid to lose all of their money?”
Soros was furious. His balding head
became brighter and brighter as he cursed
