Fujiwara Norika pursed her lips and ignored this talkative American man. Unlike some girls in China, she seemed to see an American man as if she were a superior person when she saw him, and she wanted to crawl over and kneel down to lick him.
Sensing the change in Fujiwara Norika's mood, Luo Meng wisely stopped saying similar compliments and turned to Kitahara Sosuke: "Mr. Kitahara, are you happy today?"
"It's not bad. I've wanted to come to Seattle for many years..." Kitahara Sosuke felt more emotional. He came to Seattle after 2020. It can't be said that he revisited his old place, but he felt nostalgic.
Feel.
If there is a chance to return to China in the future...
He wanted to take another look at every plant and tree there.
I wonder if this world is a time he traveled back to the previous era, or is it a parallel time and space?
But even history has changed. Even if I go to that coastal city in China, I won't be able to see the little kid named Roger who was just born now.
Roger...he had almost completely forgotten this name.
"It's my honor to make you happy." Luo Meng said with a smile, "Will you continue to visit Seattle tomorrow? Or should you go to other cities to visit? As long as you are willing, I can arrange for someone to pick you up and accompany you."
"Haha, let's talk business first." Kitahara Sosuke took a sip of red wine and said with a smile, "Sister Reiko should have told Manager Luo Meng the purpose of my visit this time, right?"
"Of course I have said that Mr. Kitahara wants to get involved in the crude oil futures market, which is normal. After the Gulf War broke out, I believe there are not many people who don't want to come to this market to make a lot of money! But now that the war is about to break out, the WTI crude oil futures contract has
The rising market started in late July, and by the time the Gulf War broke out, oil prices rose by nearly 40%, which shows that the anticipation of war has pushed up oil prices. Mr. Kitahara, to be honest, if you wanted to get involved in this market, you should have come here as early as July.
I."
Luo Meng naturally felt that Kitahara Sosuke wanted to come to the United States to do more oil business. He had seen countless such businessmen from July to now.
After all, crude oil futures are so popular. In just half a month, oil prices have increased by nearly 40%. At the close of today, WTI crude oil has risen to 32 meters gold/barrel. The upward trend is still continuing, but it is too late to enter the market now.
In this case, it won't be short of this time and a half.
"July is not possible. I have to find the highest point to enter the market, which should be today and tomorrow. So we have to talk about business first. We will have plenty of time after playing."
Kithara Sosuke said with a smile.
Entry at the highest point?
Luo Meng was a little confused for a moment.
The highest point is still far away, right?
Now that the war has not officially started, oil prices are skyrocketing. Based on the estimated duration of the war for one year, the highest point will not appear until at least half a year later. He wants to find the highest point to enter the market. Does he plan to live in the United States for more than half a year?
No... To be long in oil, you should enter the market at the lowest point.
Luo Meng shook his head. Wouldn't it be nice to wait for oil prices to continue to rise and reap massive profits?
"Mr. Kitahara, are you wrong? You should enter the market at the lowest point. The lowest point has passed long ago, and oil prices will rise rapidly tomorrow." Luo Meng asked with a smile. He knew that the other party was also engaged in the financial industry.
Is it that Japan doesn’t know much about futures?
Come to think of it, there are no crude oil futures listed in Japan.
"No, I plan to enter the market at the highest point." Kitahara Sosuke paused and looked at him with a smile, "So Sister Reiko didn't tell you? I am planning to short crude oil futures."
"Do...short crude oil futures!?" Luo Meng was stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed.
At the same time, the dinner hall also fell silent.
Fujiwara Norika is used to this kind of situation where everyone is watching her. Ever since she got together with Kitahara Sosuke, she has always been able to experience similar scenes and has become immune to them.
But this American’s mouth is so wide open. Is it that exaggerated?
In Japan, whenever talking about Kitahara's investment in shorting oil, such expressions would appear constantly. After seeing it too much, Norika Fujiwara felt that they were making too much fuss.
She never expected that when she first learned that Kitahara Sosuke was going to sell off her billions in property, her own expression was even more exaggerated and shocked.
"That's right, your futures trading company can charge a certain amount of handling fees regardless of short or long positions. Does it matter?" Kitahara Sosuke said with a smile.
Luo Meng shook his head quickly, pulled him quickly to the corner, and said in an urgent tone: "No, no, no, you are Reiko's brother, and I will not help you short crude oil futures. This is too crazy.
Just...just looking for death! Listen to me, Beiyuan, oil prices will continue to rise 100%. If you go long, you will make a profit, and if you go short, you will lose!"
This foreigner is quite humane. It seems that he really likes Sister Reiko. At this time, he refuses to short crude oil futures. He is really thinking about himself.
It's just that the approach is wrong.
"I made the decision long ago in China. If Manager Luo Meng can't help me with short selling, I will have to find other futures trading companies. I'm sorry." Kitahara Sosuke shook his head with a very firm attitude.
"Does Reiko know about this?" Luo Meng saw his expression and asked in a deep voice, "Kitahara, have you never had any contact with futures? You were shorting crude oil futures, how could Reiko not stop you.
....."
"Sister Reiko knows and supports my approach." Kitahara Sosuke replied.
Luo Meng opened his mouth in astonishment. He knew that Reiko Kitahara was the executive director of the Tokyo Futures Exchange and was very familiar with the futures market. The rise and fall of crude oil futures this time was almost not controversial. She should not have made such an outrageous judgment.
.
Could it be the pampering and obedience to his younger brother?
He had heard that men's status in Japanese families was much higher than that of women. If Kitahara Sosuke insists on doing something stupid, Kitahara Reiko may not be able to stop him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But she didn’t secretly call herself to advise her brother?
The more Luo Meng thought about it, the more confused he became, but since it was Reiko's decision, he still chose to respect it: "Okay, Beihara, how much money have you prepared to enter?"
"not much......"
"As long as it's not more, I suggest that you can establish multiple positions. After you find a short-selling loss, you can close the position and then go long. In this way, you should be able to make some money in the end." Luo Meng nodded. It would take a long time anyway.
There is a chance to persuade him.
"That's 1.33 billion meters of gold."
"Well, 1.33 billion yen, which is less than 10 million rice gold. This amount should not be large for your family. You can divide it... Wait, did you just say rice gold?"
Kithara Sosuke looked at him with a smile.
"Yes, 1.33 billion meters of gold, all short."
hiss--
A chill suddenly rushed up Romon's back.
He remembered that the current richest man in the United States, Buffett, only had 15 billion gold assets. This young man was about to spend one-tenth of Buffett's assets to short crude oil!
Is this a joke???
"I will entrust George Futures Trading Company to help me open a position and buy and sell futures contracts. We will discuss the specific details tomorrow. I am going to go to the University of Washington Hospital tonight." Kitahara Sosuke looked at Luo Meng. These days, it is necessary to
When shorting crude oil, you don’t have to worry about finding a futures trading company to open an account.
However, since he has a huge amount of funds, he needs to find a futures trading company with a good relationship, which can reduce handling fees, or even allow the other party to assist in the transaction without adding commissions, and simply with zero commission.
Moreover, the amount of margin affects the leverage ratio. Sosuke Kitahara naturally hopes that the margin ratio is as low as possible. High leverage is the guarantee of high returns, but high leverage will also bring about a wave of shocks and the possibility of liquidation.
But in my memory, the price of crude oil this time fell all the way soon after the war began, and never rose again.
Kitahara Sosuke also considered the possibility of being sniped due to high leverage, so a good futures trading company partner is crucial.
"Is the short selling of 1.33 billion meters of gold something that Reiko knows about?" Luo Meng wiped his sweat.
Kithara Sosuke nodded.
After receiving this affirmative answer, Luo Meng nodded heavily and decided to agree to the business!
