Early the next morning, Ye Kai received a call from Zhong Liyu.
"Oil prices have dropped a bit, to thirty-nine dollars per barrel." Zhong Liyu was in a happy mood.
In crude oil futures trading, one lot is 1,000 barrels, and the margin is calculated as one-fiftieth. According to the original price, it would cost US$820 to buy one lot. Ye Kai's US$60 million bought a total of 73,000 lots.
Now that the oil price has dropped by two dollars, one hand has made a profit of US$2,000. The current profit has reached US$146 million, which is indeed an astonishing profit.
Of course, this is also because Ye Kai was brave enough to invest so much money at once. If it were another person, he might not dare to make such a desperate move.
After all, if the oil price did not fall, but rose, the funds Ye Kai invested would have been forcibly liquidated, and he would have lost all his money.
"What should we do now?" Zhong Liyu asked.
After making so much money all at once, Zhong Liyu felt not only happy, but also a little scared.
Speculating in futures carries greater risks than speculating in stocks. Although she is following Ye Kai's instructions, Zhong Liyu, as a handler, has basically not had a good night's sleep in the past few days. She has to wait for the expiry market to close every day.
Only then can you sleep peacefully.
The price of oil dropped sharply by two dollars today, and Zhong Liyu was immediately stunned by the huge profits.
"Well, since you are feeling pressured, just sell 33,000 lots and leave 40,000 lots. It can be said that you are safe and won't be disrupted by any disturbance." Although Ye Kai knows what the general trend will be in the future.
, but the specific fluctuations are not very clear. The main thing is to be safe in everything, and cashing out part of it is the safest way.
In this way, more than 90 million US dollars of funds were withdrawn, and both of them felt more at ease.
Next, oil prices rebounded slightly, but the magnitude was very small. Basically, it had no impact on the futures market. The market was hesitant. Before the U.S. policy on Iran becomes clear, it is estimated that it will be difficult for oil prices to have a clear upward or downward direction.
Everyone is waiting patiently.
After more than 90 million US dollars returned to Ye Kai's secret account, he felt much more relaxed, at least he had an explanation to the second old man.
But in the afternoon, the second old man called him.
"Xiao Kai, something is not right about the situation. It seems that someone has noticed the Xicheng real estate project, but I don't know who it is yet." The second old man said to Ye Kai.
"So fast?!" Ye Kai was also surprised, thinking that the old Ye family couldn't cover the sky with one hand.
"Although I am the talker of the Military Commission, there are several deputy chiefs, especially two big shots above me. We usually don't say anything and everyone can ignore them, but once they speak, things will become difficult to handle.
"The second old man said to Ye Kai, "Moreover, the person who made the move this time seems to be someone from the Nine Giants."
Ye Kai frowned, thinking that the old Ye family has many allies, but also many enemies, but usually there are not many sore feet caught by others, and small winds and waves cannot threaten the old Ye family, but this time it was fun
It's too big, someone might be looking at it and want to take a bite.
"Second Grandpa, if that's the case, then I'll transfer the money back to you, and you can just take care of the rest and just pretend it didn't happen." Ye Kai made a decision immediately.
"Is money convenient?" When the second old man heard this, he asked in surprise.
"It's convenient." Ye Kai replied.
If the oil price hadn't suddenly dropped a little today, Ye Kai would have had nothing to do. After all, it was impossible to take such a large amount of money and just wander around in the futures market. Not only would there be no profit, but only handling fees and so on.
, is an astronomical number.
Well now, this problem no longer exists.
After repaying the money to the second old man, there is still US$30 million in cash available, which is enough to maintain the capital chain of the Zhongli family's Xicheng real estate project until the policy changes.
As for the pressure from the government, it is easy to solve. As long as the military's attitude is vague, the local government will naturally not know whether there are still military forces involved in this project. Then, there will naturally be resistance from all aspects.
It will disappear completely.
*********************
The investigation came very quickly, just one day later.
Inside the Capital Military Region Logistics Department building, more than twenty mysterious people came. The leader was a lieutenant general, and several others in casual clothes were important officials from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Military Commission for Discipline Inspection.
"Comrade Ye Zuting, we have been ordered to conduct a thorough investigation of the accounts of the Military Region Logistics Department. Please cooperate." The leader, Lieutenant General Su Rong, said to Ye Zuting.
Ye Zuting also nodded seriously, "I will fully cooperate with the investigation team's work."
The lieutenant general waved his hand, and everyone began to work, summoning relevant personnel from time to time to ask some questions.
Ye Zuting found that these people were very methodical in investigating the case. At first glance, they were experienced case handlers who were very familiar with military affairs. He quickly focused on the military's overseas accounts and the Xicheng real estate project.
on the issue.
"Comrade Ye Zuting, as far as we know, individual leaders of the Military Region's Logistics Department are suspected of using funds from overseas accounts to participate in the Xicheng real estate development project. Do you know about this?" a cadre of the Military Discipline Inspection Commission asked Ye Zuting.
Ye Zuting immediately laughed, "This matter is probably spread through rumors."
"How do you say that?" asked the cadre of the Military Discipline Inspection Commission.
"Overseas accounts are used to deal with emergencies. The amount is large and cannot be touched lightly. How could it be misappropriated?" Ye Zuting retorted, "Also, although the Xicheng Real Estate project was paid attention to by the Military Region Logistics Department, no agreement was reached later.
, so this project has no substantive relationship with us. The Military Region Logistics Department is innocent on these two issues."
"However, the reports we accepted showed that the Military Region Logistics Department indeed played a disgraceful role in these two incidents and violated military orders and disciplines," said a cadre from the Military Discipline Inspection Commission.
"Comrade, I do not deny that many of the situations in the reporting materials are true, but experience shows that the vast majority of the so-called facts listed in the reporting materials cannot withstand scrutiny. As for the two things you mentioned,
I can only deny it." Ye Zuting said very calmly.
"In this case, we will check all overseas accounts of the Military Region Logistics Department and launch an investigation into the Xicheng Real Estate Project..." the head of the investigation team said.
Ye Zuting also expressed his position, "Inspection is possible, but you need to obtain authorization from the Military Commission."
"We will get authorization from the Military Commission." The lieutenant general of the investigation team glanced at Ye Zuting and said calmly.
