Soros's backup plan is actually very simple. Since he can't beat Jiang Cheng in the futures market,
he plans to influence the platinum price through other means, pushing the price up.
Futures are only related to the price of goods, but they don't say you can't bypass futures to directly influence the physical goods.
If Soros can find other ways to make the platinum price rise, he can still be the one who laughs last.
So even if his funds are not as much as Jiang Cheng's, he can still defeat Jiang Cheng in the futures battle.
Influencing platinum prices is not just about futures; many factors can affect the price of platinum.
While futures can greatly influence the price of goods, they are not a decisive factor.
In fact, futures are just a kind of financial derivative, and their ability to affect physical prices is only because of their large scale.
But if the essential attributes of these goods change, futures can't continue to affect the physical goods.
