Chapter 1241: Speculation

Professor Moriarty lit the pipe and asked casually: "Joan, you asked me for leave before, saying that you are going to a dark area to help a dwarf friend explore the veins. How about the harvest?"
"The harvest is great, but I can't be sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing." Joan's voice was low, "It may be a lot of money, or it may be killed."
Professor Moriarty changed his face when he heard the words, put down his pipe, stared at his eyes and asked, "What the is going on?"
Joan sorted out his thoughts, and then talked about the discovery of the oversized ore vein and the conflict with the gnome prospecting team.
Professor Moriarty listened silently, sometimes smoking a cigarette, until Joan finished speaking, he did not say anything.
Joan sat across from the tutor, expecting his guidance, his heartstrings gradually tightening as the silence continued.
Professor Moriartie knocked the ashes from the pipe in the ashtray and looked up at his students. He said in earnest: "Joan, this matter is indeed very troublesome. I will give you a suggestion. I will not listen to you."
"Teacher, please."
"The extra-large magic crystal ore vein with more than 100 million tons of reserves is no longer the master of the mining group that hired you. This event will inevitably alarm the parent company of the mining group, that is, the board of the Midgard Colonial Company, and even the news has reached the In the ear of our governor, the interests involved are too complicated. You must not get involved, otherwise you will end up in a dead place if you are not careful!"
"I really don't want to get involved." Joan wiped his cold sweat, "but we found the mineral vein, and we should get a 5% dividend..."
"Five percent? It's best for you and your friends to dispel this dream as soon as possible-no, this is a nightmare!"
Professor Moriarty snorted, his gaze was awkward.
"Don't talk to me about the terms of the contract, as long as the benefits are large enough to be dazzling, the contract is just a piece of waste paper that can be torn at any time!"
"I think so too, so... do we not need this dividend?" Joan inevitably has some snacks and is unwilling.
"Joan, the initiative in this matter is not in the hands of your prospecting team. If I am you, I will listen to the arrangement of the board of directors of the colonial company. I will take as much as the gurus of the board of directors offer. What the lords say is what , Unconditionally obey the superior arrangement, even if a copper plate is not given, I recognize it! The most important thing is to keep a tight mouth on the outside world, and never show aggrieved mentality, do you understand what I mean?"
"I know!"
Joan focused on what he was paying, and it didn't matter what he paid, after all, life-saving mattered most!
"Tutor, I will tell you what Hailar and Zion brothers mean, and my dwarf friends, I hope they can accept your suggestions."
"I hope so."
Professor Moriarty lit another cigarette and smiled again on his face.
"Joan, although you probably won’t get the prospecting dividend you deserve, but don’t be sad. With this secret message you have about the super-magic crystal veins, we can find other channels to earn money. A lot of money!"
Joan was surprised: "Teacher, what do you mean?"
Professor Moriarty spit out a string of smoke rings and replied lightly: "Futures Exchange."
"Futures..." Qiao An muttered to himself, vaguely guessing the tutor's intention, but he was not sure.
"You listen, Joan, the next thing I want to do is to raise as much capital as possible. First, buy put options for bulk magic crystal ore. The exercise period is about 3 months."
"If there is surplus funds, I also plan to buy call options for Magic Crystal Ore Futures at the same time, with a nine-month exercise period." Professor Moriarty said in a low voice.
What kind of operation is buying this one and selling one?
Qiao An was at first confused. Fortunately, the brain with an intellectual property of up to 31 was not given in vain. The inner logic of the speculative operation of the mentor was cleared in his mind, and his heart could not help but make waves.
"Teacher, do you predict that the discovery of a large magic crystal ore vein in the northern part of the Taikoo Abyss will have a huge impact on the magic crystal futures market once it is announced?"
"Yes, this news will make people realize that the supply of magic crystals will increase sharply, which will lead to the fall of ore prices. It is certainly profitable to buy put options in advance." Professor Moriarty said calmly.
"However, you also intend to buy forward call options, which means that you think that the price of magic crystal ore is only a short-term phenomenon, and in the nine-month time dimension, the price will rise back, only under this premise. , Your operation can ensure profit." Joan said with thought.
"indeed so."
"The mining of extra-large ore veins will inevitably break the existing equilibrium price of the magic crystal ore market. It is logical that the excess supply will cause the price to fall. However, in just nine months, it seems that it is not enough to form a new equilibrium price. How can you be sure The price of magic crystal ore will rise sharply after a short-term decline?" Joan asked inexplicably.
"Because of greed, my child." Professor Moriarty's cheeks appeared on his face. "Because of greed, people breed hatred for wealth and even murder. It is also because of greed. It is also for competition. Fortune, guess what happens between countries?"
Joan spit out a hard word: "War."
"You just understand." Professor Moriartie patted the student's shoulder, and his lips raised a tempting arc. "How about, do you want to join in and get rich with me?"
If someone invited such an invitation, Joan would refuse without hesitation.
However, in the face of his mentor, even if he realizes that financial speculation will inevitably be accompanied by huge risks, it is very likely that speculation will not be lost, but he will lose all his money. Even if he is extremely disgusted with this uncertainty, how can he harden his heart and refuse?
After looking at the new bonus cheque in his hand, Joan secretly sighed.
"Tutor, you know that I don't have much deposit, this 10,000 gold Duga bonus... if you don't want to give up, use it as your capital."
Professor Moriarty smiled happily and raised his hand to caress his hair: "Thank you for your trust, Joanne, I won't let you suffer."
Joan doesn't expect the tutor to help him make money, even if he loses everything, but he can't agree with the behavior of "financial speculation" from the bottom of his heart.
The futures trading on the exchange has nominal physical objects. In fact, most contracts will not be delivered in physical.
Joan suspects that this so-called "financial activity" does not create tangible material wealth. It is just a digital game on paper.
Joan feels that someone as smart as Professor Moriarty should use his ingenuity in academic research rather than speculative securities-this is really a bit of business!
