Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 752 - 751: Impact

For Soros, such a thing is simply a stain on his reputation in the financial world.

Although there is no evidence indicating that the mine incident was orchestrated by Soros.

But anyone with eyes can see that this matter is definitely linked to Soros.

The financial sector now has voices all speaking ill of Soros.

After all, what Soros did this time truly disrupted the rules of their industry.

If every time one can't beat an opponent in the futures market, they resort to foul play to win,

then how are they supposed to continue in this circle? Soros has really broken the rules this time.

Fortunately, Soros's status is high enough to not attract further trouble.

However, after this event, even if Soros won this time, his standing in the financial world will plummet.

After Jiang Cheng hung up the phone, he was also thinking about the matter with Soros.

He hadn't expected Soros to have thought of the same thing, using such a method to influence platinum prices in reverse.

Jiang Cheng was also planning to use such means to defeat his opponent Soros.

It's just that Soros acted first, worsening the situation on his side.

However, even with this unfavorable situation now, Jiang Cheng wasn't bothered in the slightest, showing no sign of anxiety on his face.

Even if Soros destroyed the world's largest platinum mine, he would eventually still not escape the fate of failure.

Just as Jiang Cheng had said on the phone just now, even if Soros blew up

all the platinum mines on Earth, it wouldn't change the final outcome of this battle.

Because Jiang Cheng's trump card isn't on Earth at all, but on the distant Mars.

Jiang Cheng has the confidence to enter the platinum futures market because he holds the largest source of platinum.

Mars will continuously produce platinum, which is all the confidence he needs to defeat his opponent.

The first batch of platinum is about to reach Earth soon, and Jiang Cheng is eager to see how Soros plans to turn the tables then.

It's known that the platinum mine Soros destroyed accounted for one-fifth of Earth's total output, but the total annual production on Earth is only about eighty-five tons.

The platinum carried on that rocket amounts to five hundred tons, which is six times the annual production on Earth, far beyond what destroying a single platinum mine could affect.

By then, Jiang Cheng wouldn't even need to sell his platinum; just releasing the news that he's mining platinum on Mars would cause platinum prices to inevitably drop to a historic low.

It's known that Mars mining is still ongoing, with output only increasing.

Once Mars's mining industry is fully matured, platinum might even fall out of the precious metals category.

Perhaps by then, jewelry like rings wouldn't even use this metal as a material.

A metal that can be mined on such a large scale has no collectible value, much like no one would use iron to make jewelry, because such a thing is simply not valuable.

Since his thoughts turned to the matters on Mars, Jiang Cheng also prepared to check on the status of that rocket.

After four months of flight, that platinum-loaded rocket is now close to reaching Earth.

Jiang Cheng is now preparing to check on where the rocket is, as it is time to conclude this futures battle.

With that thought, Jiang Cheng immediately took action, picking up the phone and dialing a number.

Hello, is it Xiao? This is Jiang Cheng.

"Where is that rocket carrying the platinum now, and how long until it reaches Earth?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Jiang Cheng began asking Xiao Peng on the phone about the rocket.

It's already near Earth? Just a few days until it reaches Earth?

Very good, you've done well this time. Remember to notify me once the rocket arrives; the platinum on it is about to be of great use."

After inquiring about the rocket's status, Jiang Cheng hung up the phone with satisfaction.

According to the information from Xiao Peng, the rocket is only a few days away from reaching Earth.

It seems this futures battle is about to reach its conclusion.

The day the rocket formally arrives on Earth is also when Jiang Cheng plans to end his opponent.

This time, Jiang Cheng plans to launch the most fatal blow against Soros with lightning speed.

He believes that once he presents the five hundred tons of platinum, Soros will have no chance to retaliate and will completely lose this fight.

Having just used foul play, Soros probably never anticipated Jiang Cheng would use the same method against him.

Except Jiang Cheng's methods are even more lethal, so he will be the one to fail this time.

The futures battle between Jiang Cheng and Soros has attracted a lot of attention.

Especially people in the financial sector are very concerned about the outcome of this battle.

They want to see if it's the invincible Soros who smiles in the end or if Jiang Cheng, this monstrous genius, will once again create a miracle.

However, now no one is optimistic about Jiang Cheng; everyone believes Soros is on the verge of victory.

Ever since the news broke of the world's largest platinum mine being destroyed, platinum prices have been soaring without any decline.

Platinum prices are now at historical highs, far exceeding prices in any previous year.

Even the jewelry industry has been affected by this event, having to raise the prices of their platinum jewelry.

With international platinum prices so high now, if they don't increase their prices, their profits would be affected.

Jewelry companies are not greatly affected, as they can pass the losses onto consumers.

But it's tough on the young people planning to get married soon since wedding rings are mainly made of platinum these days.

The platinum price surge has led them to spend much more on wedding rings.

Previously troubled platinum traders are now beaming with smiles.

They've not only recouped their losses but have also made a considerable profit from the price hikes.

Ordinary people may not know the reasons behind the platinum price surge; they might think it's just a problem with the platinum mines, not linking it to the futures market.

But anyone in the financial sector knows it's all Soros's doing, to defeat Jiang Cheng.

Soros truly deserves his legendary status in the financial world, stopping at nothing for victory.

Only someone like Soros could conceive of directly hiring people to sabotage a platinum mine.

While many people are disdainful of Soros's actions, they cannot deny that his methods are extremely clever.

Soros's maneuver is like pulling the rug from under one's feet, not reasoning with Jiang Cheng, but using rogue tactics against him.
