Manhattan The early morning passed quietly amidst the plotting and deployment of a few people. The sunshine outside the window passed through the mist,
It illuminates the entire city that is immersed in the restlessness on the eve of the weekend.
Time passes to January 30, Saturday.
The financial world, which should have returned to calm over the weekend, fell into a deeper boil because of the frenzy on the Internet.
GME was hindered after the brokerage pulled the plug on the Internet. Instead of extinguishing the anger in the hearts of retail investors, it was like a heavy hammer.
The anger that was originally limited to US Stocks small-cap stocks has completely hit the larger world of entities and commodities.
Inside Era Vanguard and Suite, breaking news reports from major television networks across the United States are being played in real time on the huge display screen.
"... This is the official homepage of APMEX (United States's largest online precious metals retailer),
As you can see, all the investment-grade silver bars, coins and even small-sized silver nuggets on the screen.
All have been marked 'Sold Out'."
The on-site reporter from ABC News is standing in front of the APMEX headquarters building located at Oklahoma,
Behind him is a brightly lit logistics warehouse that works overtime to ship goods.
The reporter spoke to the camera in a high-pitched tone:
"According to the statement we just received, the top five precious metals retailers in the United States, including APMEX, SD Bullion and JM Bullion,
The number of physical orders for Silver received in the past twenty-four hours has reached the total of the past normal months!
Many retailers even had to urgently suspend taking orders because physical inventory had completely bottomed out.
And the upstream refineries cannot replenish sufficient delivery specifications in the short term..."
Shen Zhiyi placed a newly organized social media Public Sentiment Briefing on the coffee table in front of Zhao Chen, with a hint of wonder in her beautiful eyes.
"It's not just retailers across the country that are out of stock."
Shen Zhiyi said softly,
"Last night and this morning, a large number of short videos with the label '#SilverSqueeze' (Short Squeeze Silver) appeared on TikTok and Twitter.
Many young retail investors went to offline gold and silver recycling stores or lined up in front of the mint.
Holding the government epidemic subsidy check that was just issued in hand, I rushed to buy any Silver products I could buy."
"The speed at which this sentiment has spread has far exceeded the expectations of traditional financial institutions."
Su Wantang also came over with freshly cut fruit, pointing at the WallStreetBets Forum hot posts on the screen,
"You see, these posts have even begun to issue 'tactical guidelines' to retail investors--
Everyone is required to not only snap up Call Options of SLV (Silver ETF) when the market opens on Monday,
We have to withdraw physical goods and try to put pressure on COMEX and Market Maker through physical runs."
Zhao Chen leaned on the sofa, his fingertips lightly ran across the popular posts on the tablet, and the corners of his mouth raised a cold arc.
The title of the post is full of provocative and heroic overtones:
"Wall Street can restrict GME buying, but they can't restrict the heavy Physical Silver Bars in your hand!"
"Sell JPMorgan Chase's treasury short! Let Paper Silver's scam be exposed in the sun!"
"This is a holy war for all ordinary people. Every Ounce Silver is a bullet hitting the corrupt financial system!"
Looking at these sentimental words Euphoria, Zhao Chen threw the tablet on the table and said calmly:
"The higher the emotion, the higher the concentration of ignorance.
Retail investors thought that by grabbing all the silver bars on the APMEX shelves, they had cut off Wall Street's blood vessels.
But they have no idea about the millions of Ounce in the retail market,
Compared with the hundreds of millions of ounces of institutional warehouse receipts on COMEX and LBMA, it is just a drop in the ocean."
"But it is undeniable that this sentiment has pushed the liquidity premium to the extreme."
Shen Zhiyi answered, maintaining a rigorous legal perspective in his tone,
"Director Zhang Qingxue just sent me an encrypted email, reminding us that although retail investors Buying Pressure is unstoppable,
But the CFTC (United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission) and CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) are already paying close attention to the abnormal fluctuations of SLV.
If there is an extreme gap at the opening on Monday, regulators will most likely intervene within 24 to 48 hours."
"Director Zhang's judgment is very accurate."
Zhao Chen nodded slightly,
"The speed of regulatory response is the life and death line for our pulse arbitrage this time.
Zhiyi, let Director Zhang continue to keep an eye on regulatory developments;
Wantang, please pay attention to the real-time feedback from several major metal storage warehouses at Europe."
Su Wantang understood immediately. His long and slender fingers skillfully retrieved offshore data on the encrypted terminal and reported the latest developments:
"Europe sent a message. Affected by the Silver craze, Europe the telephone numbers of major metal exchanges were almost overwhelmed by retail customers inquiring about precious metals.
And because of this, Offshore Entity established by Lawyer Lin in Europe,
When counting Pure Nickel warehouse receipts in Antwerp and Rotterdam warehouses in the name of 'manufacturing Supply Chain regular stocking',
There are no regulators paying attention to them at all.
The attention of the industrial metal counter is indeed completely blocked now."
Listening to Su Wantang's report, Zhao Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of calculation.
The more turbulent the Silver craze is on the surface, the safer it is for Era Vanguard to eat Pure Nickel Spot secretly.
The financial attention of the United States and even the world was pushed to the forefront this weekend by Reddit and social media.
At this moment, the sound of the encrypted phone broke the peace in Suite.
The name of the caller displayed on the screen was Era Vanguard's head of commodity trading execution, Lin Shicheng.
Zhao Chen pressed answer and hands-free, and Lin Shicheng's slightly excited voice immediately echoed in the room:
"Zhao Zong! The pre-quotation system before Sunday's market just sent out data,
The global OTC Derivatives Market's opening expectations for Monday's SLV and Spot Silver have already experienced an extremely rare surge!
Some of the offshore Market Maker's Out-of-the-Money Call Options sell orders and Premium's buy orders for Euphoria have reached almost absurd high levels!"
"Lawyer Lin, New York Trading Desk How are the preparations over there?"
Zhao Chen asked in a deep voice, his expression as calm as a mountain.
"Chen Mo and the traders of the six independent SPVs are all in place, and the trading procedures have been preset."
Lin Shicheng reported categorically,
"Over Eighty Million US Dollars's arbitrage principal has all been locked in the segregated account.
As long as Asia Session opens on Monday and US Stocks pre-market channel opens, our preset SLV Out-of-the-Money Call Options buy order will be like a silent stream that moistens things.
Mixed in with the crazy charge Buying Pressure of millions of retail investors across the United States, the exercise range of 25 to 30 US Dollar was instantly filled!"
"Remember, your movements must be concealed."
Zhao Chen has a serious tone,
"What we want is to take advantage of the momentum of retail investors to eat the premium of Market Maker. We must not let ourselves become the first to be shot."
"Understood! Director Zhang Qingxue also warned about compliance boundaries. All instructions are split by algorithms and will never trigger Large Trader Reporting System."
Lin Shicheng assured.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chen stood up and walked to the huge Floor-to-Ceiling Window.
New York Manhattan on the weekend, the sun shines on the cold buildings, seemingly peaceful and peaceful,
But in the invisible digital network and capital channels, there is a torrent of trillions of funds formed by the anger and fantasy of millions of retail investors.
It is getting ready to hit the hard barriers of global commodities in dozens of hours.
And Era Vanguard, the top-level Hunter hidden in the shadows, has quietly opened its bowstring, and Jingjing is waiting for the moment when the storm sets off the highest surge.
