The moment Nakamori Akina saw Zheng Yaoyang, she hugged his waist tightly, as if she wanted to become one with him.
The two hadn't seen each other for half a year, and she thought it was because she couldn't give birth to a child that Zheng Yaoyang didn't like her.
So when she learned that Zheng Yaoyang was coming to Tokyo, she was content to come in person even if it was just to take a look from afar.
Her love was as humble as dust. Without Zheng Yaoyang's permission, she missed him very much and did not dare to go to Xiangjiang to find him.
"Akina-chan, I miss you too."
Zheng Yaoyang knew that she had always felt insecure, so he did not hesitate to express his love.
He added: "But this time when I come to Tokyo, I have other things to do, so I can't accompany you for the time being."
"Can you take me with you?"
Akina Nakamori almost begged, holding out her palms with a sincere expression: "I just want to stay in the car and never run around."
"Okay, you can come with me too."
Zheng Yaoyang pinched the tip of her nose and told the driver to go to the East Stock Exchange.
A few days ago, he discovered that the trend of international crude oil seemed to have deviated from the original track.
Because in Zheng Yaoyang's memory, since the beginning of the Gulf War, the price of crude oil has been rising all the way.
Moreover, in mid-January, before the negotiations between the United States and Iran were finalized, prices maintained an upward trend.
It's just strange that the price of oil fell from US$35 to US$31.8 overnight a few days ago.
The huge drop of nearly 10% was something that had never happened before and was beyond Zheng Yaoyang's expectation. He had to find out the reason.
The principal investment was US$4.72 billion, which has nearly tripled, but Zheng Yaoyang is still not satisfied.
Because this fund is related to all his subsequent plans, Zheng Yaoyang does not allow any accidents to happen.
Not long after, the car arrived at Orient Securities Building. Zheng Yaoyang exchanged a few words with Mingcai and went upstairs.
After meeting Rogers, Zheng Yaoyang asked: "Are there any major news events recently?"
Rogers frowned and said: "It seems that the Soviet Union's announcement to increase production by 15% caused the price to fall."
He paused and then said: "But I asked many people to find out that the seller who suddenly appeared in the futures market was not the Soviet Ministry of Energy."
There are two main types of oil futures contracts they buy, which are also the main types of international circulation. One is U.S. crude oil and the other is Brent crude oil.
Soviet crude oil belongs to the Brent crude oil category, but the crude oil sold on the market is US crude oil.
Zheng Yaoyang frowned and asked, "Rogers, can you confirm that the source of the information is correct?"
"BOSS, I'm sure." Rogers was very confident in the source of the news.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask about the situation."
Zheng Yaoyang walked out of the office, came to the window, took out his satellite phone, and called Ma Yun from Mokos.
International news may be true or false, and market transactions will not deceive people, but increasing production may not.
Fortunately, he still has Ma Yun under his command, who can let him conduct on-site inspections to find out what is true and false.
After a while, the call was connected.
Ma Yun asked carefully: "Mr. Zheng?"
"Old Ma, where are you?"
Ma Yun replied: "I recently took a trip to get some goods, and I'm still at the Mokos Hotel in Mokos."
Zheng Yaoyang pondered and ordered: "Now go to the Kremenchug Oil Refinery in Kelanwu in person."
He described the current situation and asked Ma Yun to find out whether the news about the Soviet Union's increase in oil production was true or false.
The Kremenchug Refinery, located in the border town of Kremenchug, is currently the largest refinery in the Soviet Union, accounting for more than 60% of oil exports.
If the news about increased oil production is true, there should be movement over there.
Ma Yun said hurriedly: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, I'll go there right now."
Zheng Yaoyang warned him a few words to pay attention to his safety and ended the call.
Back in the office, Rogers asked: "BOSS, is there any news?"
Zheng Yaoyang laughed: "It can't be that fast, it will take time to investigate."
"It's okay even if it's true. We've already made enough money anyway."
Rogers smiled bitterly,
He also knew that Zheng Yaoyang was comforting him.
Because speculators are most afraid of leaving the market against the wind.
Although their floating profit has now reached 190%, which has almost tripled. But they hold a huge amount of oil contracts, and if they sell against the wind, they will lose money.
If operated improperly, 190% of the floating profit on the account may not be 100% in the hand, which can easily lead to a large-scale stampede out of the market.
Zheng Yaoyang said: "Staying here and waiting is not an option. Let's go out to have a meal together."
He still firmly believes that international oil will not fall, and if it falls too sharply, the United States will step in to cover the bottom.
There are two underlying logics behind the initiation of the Gulf War: one is oil hegemony, and the other is raising oil prices.
The final beneficiary of the two underlying logics is the greedy bald eagle on the other side of the ocean.
If shorting Tokyo is just a slap on the wrist, then the Gulf War is a major national policy.
Since the Bretton Woods system collapsed and the U.S. dollar was decoupled from gold, they urgently need something that is needed by all countries in the world to bind it to the U.S. dollar.
Industrial blood is the best carrier.
They will never sit idly by and give up on the plans they have carefully laid out for many years.
But Zheng Yaoyang still wasn't sure and needed Ma Yun to find evidence to confirm his conjecture.
By the way, I ordered Akina Nakamori, and the few of us dined at a restaurant near Dongzheng.
After the meal, Zheng Yaoyang asked Nakamori Akina if he wanted to continue waiting. He might be busy until late at night.
International crude oil futures are different from stocks, and they are divided into day trading and night trading.
Basically, commodities that circulate around the world have day and night trading, because all countries around the world are eligible to participate.
Because at the same time, some countries have daytime and some countries have late night, so the trading period is set to three hours during the day and three hours late at night.
Taking the trading hours of Xiangjiang as an example, the daily trading starts at 9:30 am and ends at 10:30 pm. It starts at 1:30 pm and ends at 3 pm.
The late-night trading session also starts at 9:30 and lasts intermittently until 3 in the morning.
International oil is also okay. Even if it is traded day and night, there are only eight hours of trading in the whole day.
Unlike London gold trading which lasts for 22.5 hours, there are only hot and cold periods with almost no breaks.
"If you don't dislike me, I will always wait for you."
As long as Nakamori Akina seizes the opportunity, she will express her feelings to Zheng Yaoyang.
Zheng Yaoyang laughed in astonishment and couldn't help but stroke her little head and said with a smile: "When the time comes, if you are tired, come to my office and take a rest."
Zheng Yaoyang and Rogers returned to the company, paying attention to the market conditions and waiting for news from Ma Yun.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Tokyo's night market starts. Due to the time difference between the two places, it is one hour ahead of Hong Kong.
International crude oil dropped sharply by -1.2% at the opening, and the latest current price is only US$31.418 per barrel.
Zheng Yaoyang browsed news from various countries on the web, and occasionally glanced at the oil market, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Rogers approached with a cup of coffee and said with a smile: "BOSS, doesn't it feel amazing? A small host can help us connect the world."
"I dare to assert that the future will definitely belong to the era of the Internet."
Zheng Yaoyang said: "I agree with your point of view, but it is still too difficult to get started now. When it becomes popular among all people, that will be the real golden age."
The Internet of this period was really difficult to use. If he was used to the fool-like operation of the future, he would almost forget how to use the computers of this period.
However, the network signal is pretty good. After all, the Internet in Tokyo was born in 1969, only a few years later than in the United States, and it has developed for 21 years.
There is actually a major reason why the Internet in Japan will not develop in the future. The Internet technology they initially possessed was a gift from the United States.
The United States' purpose is also very pure, which is to monitor Japanese people, so it provides technical support.
Japan did not dare to refuse dad's gift and could only ignore it, thus missing the golden age of information development.
Thirty years later, China struggled to catch up and gave birth to international Internet giants such as Alibyte.
In contrast, Japan has occupied the position of the world's second largest economy for 20 years, but it does not even have a viable Internet company.
