"I, we...are short-sellers?" Norika Fujiwara's cute little mouth opened slightly, with disbelief on her face. Shouldn't Kitahara Investment seize this wave of opportunities and do something crazy?
"Yes." Kithara Sosuke smiled and nodded.
There was silence in the exchange hall.
Kitahara Sosuke's voice is still echoing.
A group of entrepreneurs looked at him like a fool, wondering if there was something wrong with this young man's head.
Gulf War Shorting Oil???
The most important interest point of the Gulf War is the issue of oil distribution in the Gulf region. After all, the proven oil reserves in the Gulf region account for about 65% of the total reserves, making it a must-win for countries that rely on crude oil.
The President of Iraq, Saddam, wanted to limit the price of Kuwait so that he could get the maximum benefit. Unexpectedly, he was rejected. The majesty of the world's third most powerful country must not be violated. He directly started a war, but unexpectedly attracted a
Pile dad.
Of course, even if he did not have such a series of tricks, the United States and other alliance countries would still find ways to control the oil reserves in the Gulf region. The reason why they did not move before was because Big Brother Furry Bear was still around and it was not easy to take action blatantly.
There must be many military strategists who are curious about the attitude of Big Brother Mao Xiong. Unfortunately, only Sosuke Kitahara knows that the Mao Xiong family is also in a mess now.
Anyway, the Gulf War will definitely affect the price of oil. During the war, oil exploration and other activities will stop, production will drop sharply, and prices will skyrocket. This is the best time to make a fortune.
Iraq has millions of troops. How can it resist for a year or two?
There are fools who would short-sell at this time!
Then there is really no need to rush to exchange. After all, there are so few shorts, so why worry about not having a chance to enter the market?
Entrepreneurs who knew Kitahara Sosuke had strange expressions on their faces, and those who didn't know him directly regarded him as an idiot and were secretly chuckling.
The middle-aged account manager on the side was very embarrassed. He thought Kitahara Sosuke was exchanging rice gold to buy long oil. He also thought that the other party was personally introduced by President Hiroshi Iwai Uchida of Nissho, so he should consider giving him an inside channel.
But the VIP channel requires at least 50 billion in redemption quota, and the people in the exchange hall basically have no more than 30 billion in redemption quota, or even a few billion. If you go past them and go to the internal channel, it will have a bad impact.
Uchida Hiro estimated that Kitahara Sosuke would only be able to survive with 30 to 40 billion, maybe even less, so he didn't pay any special attention to it. He just said that no matter how much the limit was, Sanwa Bank would satisfy him.
The Gulf War shorted the oil market, but I didn’t expect that the other party was a financial novice!
"Hello, are you really ready to go short?" The person who came to ask was the fat middle-aged man who was annoyed that he didn't enter the market as early as possible.
"Yes, what's the matter? Who is your Excellency?" Kitahara Sosuke glanced at him, but he had no impression of this person in his memory.
The middle-aged fat man's face lit up with joy when he heard this. He came over and put his arms around Kitahara Sosuke's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Haha, I am Suzuki Taichi from Nomura Securities. This is my business card."
Kitahara Sosuke took the business card.
Taichi Suzuki, Executive Director of Nomura Securities Headquarters.
Nomura Securities is the first of the four major securities companies in Japan, and it is also the only securities giant that is still alive and survived the Great Depression. Starting in 1995, Nomura Securities, like Yamaichi Securities, fell into a huge financial crisis. However, the social situation at that time
Naga Suzuki Masashi defied public opinion and appointed Junichi Ujie as CEO, finally rescuing Nomura Securities from the quagmire.
"Hey, Suzuki Masashi is my brother, you should know that, right?" Suzuki Taichi looked at him with a smile.
Kithara Sosuke nodded: "Of course I know President Suzuki, what does Director Suzuki want from me?"
This fat man who is a bit arrogant gives him the feeling of a Chinese capitalist in the 1970s and 1980s. He likes to cultivate interpersonal relationships and the culture of drinking and drinking. He has a family background and has no special talents.
"Come on, come on, you should be the only one who wants to short. There are so many people in the hall, so you, a person who has no interest in us, should be allowed to redeem first." Taichi Suzuki smiled and pushed him forward, "Everyone, please
Make way, give Taichi Suzuki some face, and let this little brother redeem it first."
There were originally a lot of people in the hall, and everyone was afraid that the exchange would be slow and they would lose more, so no one was willing to let anyone else do it. But when they saw it was Kitahara Sosuke, they all smiled and made way for him, and they were all willing to let him exchange it first!
What if such a stupid short seller reacts and runs away?
Kitahara Sosuke smiled and saw their expressions in his eyes. He followed Suzuki Taichi all the way, and from time to time someone handed him a business card. Everyone looked at him very kindly, and they smiled in fear of Kitahara Sosuke running away.
"That's right, the short sellers should change first, I have no objection."
"I agree too!"
"My little brother is so courageous. Young people should give it a try!"
"Yes, everyone is long, and it is difficult to make double the money. How good is it to go short, but if it is successful, it will not be ten or twenty times?"
There was endless chatter and laughter all around.
Kitahara Sosuke came to the counter with a smile and handed over the Sanwa Bank bank card and Tosan Bank card that he had applied for.
"Thanks, Brother Suzuki."
It's also a good thing not to queue up.
"No, no need to worry." Taichi Suzuki stood behind him with a smile on his face, with an expression like "I have to watch you exchange with my own eyes before I can leave with peace of mind."
"Mr. Kitahara, you are a special exchange VIP customer of Sanhe Bank. The amount of exchange is not capped. How much rice gold do you plan to exchange?" The teller in charge smiled sweetly, "No matter how much the amount is, special exchange VIP customers can enjoy this.
Day-to-day service.”
"Special redemption VIP customer, I'm awesome." Suzuki Taichi on the side complimented, "But I remember that the redemption channel can only be used twice a year, how about redeeming it all at once? There is only one left, and you can use it again if something happens in the future.
.”
The few people behind slowly came over and agreed.
Yes, it would be great to exchange them all.
They looked at Kitahara Sosuke's bank card as if they were looking at the money in their own account.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The account will arrive the next day, so it's all redeemed." Kitahara Sosuke smiled and pushed the Tosan bank card over, "This is
All the yen in the card were converted into gold and transferred to my Sanhe account."
"Okay, I'll handle it for you. Please enter your bank card password." The teller lady nodded and handed the machine over.
After entering the password, she can see the amount to be exchanged.
Suzuki Taichi couldn't wait to put his head over to see how much money he had. This silly boy was probably the young heir to a wealthy family in Tokyo, and he wanted to try his luck in the Gulf War.
He prepared 5 billion to go long this time. In the futures market, there are as many shorts as there are longs, and the longs earn the money of the shorts!
Finally encountered a short seller, why don't you catch him?
"What's going on?" Suzuki Taichi looked at the young female teller who had not moved for a long time and asked anxiously, "Is it because the amount exchanged is too small?"
The young female teller's expression was frozen there. She looked at the screen, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and repeatedly confirmed the number of zeros after the string of numbers. She confirmed it a dozen times in total before she was sure that she had read it correctly!
"This, this..." The young female teller was speechless.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the exchange?" The middle-aged account manager came over and asked, "Aren't special exchange VIP customers given priority to enter the exchange sequence? Is it because the customer's funds are less than 100 million, so they cannot enter the channel?"
There is only one restriction on the priority channel for special redemption VIP customers, that is, the redemption amount must be greater than 100 million yen.
"It's not like he doesn't even have 100 million yen..." Suzuki Taichi was a little disappointed. This kid calls himself a big short seller, so he can't even get 100 million yen, right?
"No, it's not. Mr. Kitahara's exchange amount exceeds the maximum exchange limit in the lobby, so you need to go through the special exchange channel. Sorry, I can't handle it here." The young female teller bowed and apologized.
Exceeded the 50 billion exchange limit!?
The expressions of Taichi Suzuki and others changed.
"Ah...Mr. Kitahara, I'm extremely sorry. I have neglected my duty! This, this...I will arrange a special exchange channel right away." The middle-aged account manager broke out in a cold sweat, wondering why it exceeded 50 billion.
!
Didn’t it mean that it would definitely not reach 50 billion?
"This amount, okay, it seems that the special exchange channel is not enough. I remember that it needs to be approved by the head office board of directors?" The young female teller had never handled such a large amount of foreign exchange exchange, and she couldn't react for a while.
She only vaguely remembered that the limit of the special exchange channel was 100 billion yen.
"What? The special redemption channel is not enough?" The middle-aged account manager looked at her and whispered, "What are you talking about? The limit of the special redemption channel is 100 billion yen!"
"That's indeed not enough. I want to exchange it for 160 billion yen." Kitahara Sosuke looked at him and said leisurely, "Isn't it possible that Mitsuwa can't exchange it?"
