Super Island Tycoon

This time it’s still about the platinum futures. Actually, I didn’t want to trouble you with this. I wouldn’t have called if it wasn’t absolutely necessary, Oliver’s hand was gripping the phone, and sweat began to form, showing just how tense he was feeling right now.

If it weren’t for Soros’s underhanded tactics, Oliver really wouldn’t want to make this phone call.

Jiang Cheng has already given him so much support, yet he still couldn’t secure the ultimate victory.

In Oliver’s view, he’s already somewhat derelict in duty, performing poorly in this operation, even requiring his boss to personally intervene to resolve the issue in the end.

Jiang Cheng has been generous enough as a boss, never letting them lack funds.

In the end, not only did their team fail to complete their tasks, but

they repeatedly sought help from their boss, Jiang Cheng.

Oliver now feels that his failure this time is truly profound, unable to defeat Soros despite having such favorable conditions.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to turn to Jiang Cheng, betraying the trust Jiang Cheng had placed in him before.

”Oliver? What’s the matter? Just say it directly, I don’t have time to waste with you here.”

Jiang Cheng’s voice came through on the other end of the phone, and it seemed Jiang Cheng wasn’t in a good mood right now.

Primarily, Oliver’s stammering earlier made Jiang Cheng a bit displeased.

If there’s something, just say it directly, Jiang Cheng is most annoyed by Oliver’s approach.

Thus, Jiang Cheng’s tone was quite displeased, even carrying a hint of reproach.

”I’m really sorry, President Jiang, for disturbing your rest.” As soon as he heard Jiang Cheng’s voice, Oliver promptly responded cautiously.

Oliver was very afraid that Jiang Cheng might blame him for this and even take some punitive actions.

If Jiang Cheng were angry due to his inefficiency, Oliver couldn’t even imagine the consequences.

He simply couldn’t bear Jiang Cheng’s wrath; at that time, even death might be the best outcome.

Just like this, with a restless heart, Oliver carefully started talking about what had happened before.

”It’s like this, President Jiang, last time you allocated sufficient funds to us, which gave us a temporary advantage.”

”Recently, the platinum price had been lowered significantly by us, and we were completely in a superior position on this side, soon to win.”

Before reporting the bad news, Oliver also spoke some good things about himself.

His intention was to say that his work was still remarkable; they had been completely dominating before, but it’s just that the other side played foul.

So Oliver first reported some good news before cautiously stating the following.

”But I didn’t expect Soros to be so desperate, refusing to overturn and resorting to such low measures.”

Soros even sent people to sabotage the world’s largest platinum mine, causing platinum production to drastically shrink recently.

Consequently, the platinum price has risen sharply, and now the situation is beyond our control.”

While presenting the situation, Oliver’s heart almost jumped to his throat.

He was afraid that Jiang Cheng wouldn’t listen to his explanation and would blame him directly, in which case he really would be finished.

”Currently, due to supply and demand issues, the platinum price has become uncontrollable. If we don’t come up with a solution, we’ll be completely defeated.”

”That’s why I called you, President Jiang, today, hoping to seek your help.”

Luckily, Jiang Cheng didn’t interrupt him, letting him finish explaining the entire situation.

After Oliver finished reporting the situation to Jiang Cheng over the phone, he nervously clutched the phone, waiting for Jiang Cheng’s final response.

For some reason, Jiang Cheng kept silent, seemingly thinking about something on the other end of the phone.

Oliver dared not ask, only waiting cautiously.

In waiting, Oliver felt time passing so slowly; the current situation was a kind of torment for him.

”Alright, leave the platinum price issue alone. Just continue to maintain your short positions.”

Thankfully, Jiang Cheng didn’t torment Oliver for too long, and soon Jiang Cheng’s voice echoed from the phone.

”The platinum price will plunge soon, and even if Soros blows up all the platinum mines, it won’t help.”

”Just be prepared on your end, and when the platinum price plunges, release your short positions.”

”You just need to handle the final wrap-up work, and don’t worry about other things.”

When Oliver heard this from Jiang Cheng, he felt the huge pressure lift off his chest.

Since Jiang Cheng had already said so, he must have had his preparations in order.

If Jiang Cheng can truly reverse the situation, then Oliver could indeed rest assured.

After all, Jiang Cheng merely asked him to keep the current situation unchanged, so he would follow Jiang Cheng’s instructions.

As for the final wrap-up work Jiang Cheng mentioned, Oliver wasn’t worried at all.

As long as the platinum price can fall in the end, he can ensure that his side receives their profits smoothly.

At that time, it will just be some futures settlement operations, which he’s done so many times, he’s already quite familiar with them.

After hanging up, Oliver finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The short call had made him too nervous, and he could only relax now.

Oliver managed to avoid trouble because Jiang Cheng didn’t blame him after all.

However, Jiang Cheng didn’t think Oliver made any mistakes; Oliver’s trading strategy met his requirements.

Even if there were losses, it was entirely his fault, having nothing to do with Oliver, the executor.

Originally, Jiang Cheng didn’t expect to rely solely on futures operations to defeat the opponent; he wasn’t truly keen on competing with the opposition in this regard.

Oliver was able to seize the advantage in the futures market, which already demonstrated his capabilities.

If Soros hadn’t used underhanded tactics, Oliver would have directly defeated Soros this time.

This financial battle over platinum futures, purely from the futures market standpoint, Oliver has already won.

It’s just that Soros eventually resorted to other tricks when pressed.

Oliver managing to defeat Soros, this legend in the financial world, was already very remarkable.

Though there was support from Jiang Cheng’s funds, his personal ability can’t be underestimated either.

Jiang Cheng is now quite satisfied with Oliver, his subordinate, having no intention to blame him.

This futures battle shouldn’t blame Oliver for lack of effort; rather, the opponent was too cunning.

Soros, this financial sniper, resorted to shameless tactics, hiring people to sabotage South Africa’s platinum mines.
