Through the bulletproof door, Kitahara Sosuke could hear the sudden uproar and doubts coming from the hall.
Today is the first day of the war. Oil prices have continued to rise, but why did they start to fall inexplicably an hour before the market closed?
Of course, there are occasional drops. Such shocks can easily cause long and short people to liquidate their positions and exit the market. However, it only dropped 0.3 meters of gold per barrel, a drop of about 1%. We are not playing with a hundred times leverage, and we don’t have to worry about the sudden loss.
Liquidation.
This is just a technical adjustment!
I believe these words are echoing in many people's minds.
"Hey, President, am I dazzled? The oil price seems to have dropped a little compared to just now." Norika Fujiwara was also looking at the scrolling screen intently. Since it is short selling, it is naturally best to enter the market near the highest point. According to
With the previous increase, she suspected that there was no highest point in oil prices at all.
During the war, the price of gold rose to a terrifying 60 meters per barrel.
But just now, she clearly saw the number jump, and then fall!
"You read that right, the price dropped by 0.3 meters per barrel." Kitahara Sosuke smiled with relief.
It is estimated that the hearts of countless people are fluctuating with the rise and fall of oil prices at this moment. No one wants to see oil prices start to fall at this time. Only Sosuke Kitahara felt relieved after seeing this scene.
At least the historical process has not deviated too far, otherwise he should seriously consider whether to short oil.
People are like this sometimes. Even if something is almost 100% certain, when the amount of investment is so large that he cannot bear the risk of failure, he will always be extremely cautious and confirm it again and again.
In the futures hall at this moment, many American businessmen were standing close together, looking at the scrolling screen and silently chanting "up", while Sosuke Kitahara, who was sitting in the VIP room, was making plans with Victoria.
Regarding cooperation matters, I was shouting "fall, fall, fall" in my heart.
The last hour before the market close makes people feel tormented. Every minute and second that passes, every change in the price of WTI crude oil futures makes people feel frightened.
In the half hour after the price dropped to 38.9 meters of gold per barrel, oil prices began to move horizontally, sometimes rising a little, sometimes falling a little, but the fluctuations were very subtle, but the overall trend was obviously downward.
The final closing time is approaching, and the oil price has reached a lower level of 38.7 meters per barrel for the first time. By this time, Kitahara Sosuke is almost convinced that the timeline has not fluctuated beyond his expectations.
Compared with the 35 meters of gold per barrel when the leverage was previously discussed, the oil price still increased significantly. However, the oil price fell suddenly on the first day of the war, which was very similar to the stock price drop on the day of the Japanese stock market that Sosuke Kitahara saw!
History is always surprisingly similar, it just depends on whether you notice anything from it.
It's a pity that people always realize it later.
The only lesson humanity has learned from history is that humanity learns nothing.
It’s closing time!
The oil price reached 38.6 meters of gold per barrel as expected in Kitahara Sosuke's memory!
Exactly!
He heaved a sigh of relief and immediately asked the somewhat confused Fujiwara Norika to find Romon.
Twelve times leverage, stud 1.33 billion gold!
After that, it is time to pay close attention to whether the course of the Gulf War is different from the historical process in memory.
As long as there is a slight change, Kitahara Sosuke will immediately forcefully close the position and call it a day. You can make a little less, but you must not lose money.
After a while, Norika Fujiwara came over with a hurried-looking Romon, followed by a fat middle-aged man with blue eyes and black hair, and a tall white police officer. Vic could vaguely be seen shrinking his head behind the two of them.
Doria.
At this time, she had changed into a beige dress and looked cute and innocent, completely unlike the arms lady who just stormed into the futures trading company with a gun.
Kitahara Sosuke stood up and looked at Luo Meng. Before the latter could introduce himself, a middle-aged fat man in a blue suit came over and held out his hand with a naive smile: "Hello, Mr. Kitahara Sosuke, I am Arman Friedman.
I'm sorry that my daughter shocked you today."
He is Armand Friedman!
Kitahara Sosuke vaguely remembered seeing photos of oligarchs. Among them, the old man who died first and the one who danced the most had the best relationship with Yeltsin. The so-called "godfather of the Kremlin" was the easiest to identify.
He only remembered that Friedman was fat and didn't know anything else.
"Hello, Mr. Friedman, it's an honor to meet you." Kitahara Sosuke smiled and shook hands with him.
"This is Officer Harward, the chief of the Seattle Police Department. It's really frustrating that Victoria did such a stupid thing." Aman Friedman smiled bitterly and introduced him to Kitahara Sosuke diligently.
The white police officer.
The arrogance of the white man Howard was very obvious. He just nodded lightly to Kitahara Sosuke and sat aside in silence.
Today, Victoria broke into a futures trading company with a gun. This matter is not big or small. Fortunately, it did not cause any casualties. Her mother's family covers the sky with one hand in Seattle, so such a small matter can be easily handled.
.
It's just that Victoria Omi is of mixed race, which will inevitably make American people think too much.
After confirming the situation here, Harward found an excuse and left alone. He obeyed the mayor, and the mayor had a very good relationship with Victoria's mother. Even if he wanted to have sex with this Russian-American girl
, and there is no reason or opportunity.
After Howard left, Aman pulled his daughter and forced her to apologize to Kitahara Sosuke. Victoria looked reluctant and secretly glanced at Kitahara Sosuke, as if to remind him of his afternoon agreement.
Aman seemed to be a very kind-hearted person, without the slightest pretensions of a rich man. After asking about the losses of George Futures Trading Company, he immediately paid the compensation with a check.
Sitting in the trading room, several people couldn't help but chat about the crude oil futures that had just closed. Luo Meng was obviously extremely surprised by the sudden drop in oil prices and said it was unbelievable several times, while Aman looked calm, as if he was aware of it.
intrinsic problem.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! From this naive middle-aged fat man, Kitahara Sosuke also keenly captured a lot of useful information.
He is impeccable in his dealings with people, and the more attentive he is, the more difficult he is to deal with.
She speaks clearly and logically, which is obviously different from her daughter who does things a little less logically.
Kitahara Sosuke felt that a woman who could be in charge of a big family would not be a fool. Could it be that Victoria has a genetic mutation?
"I heard that Mr. Kitahara is a bank president?" Aman suddenly changed the subject.
Kitahara Sosuke was stunned for a moment and looked at Luo Meng. The latter looked innocent and said that he did not reveal his private information to the other party.
"Yes, he is just the deputy branch manager of a branch." Kitahara Sosuke nodded.
"That's great. You are an experienced banking elite. You should have some experience in financial holding groups, right? Nowadays, the unreasonable mechanism of state-owned banks occupying the largest market share is still popular in my hometown, but I believe it will be restructured soon.
, it would be great if they could learn from Japan’s advanced main bank system.”
Aman sighed,
"I personally think the main bank system is a very perfect holding system."
For the consortium, this is indeed the case.
Kitahara Sosuke thought this sentence silently in his heart.
People who like this system are either members of the system, or people who intend to rise into a consortium.
Only in this way can the system of a bank and a comprehensive trading company be combined to form the perfect prototype of a consortium.
He glanced at Aman and asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Aman very interested in the banking industry?"
"Haha, I served as a similar branch president in Sberbank of Russia when I was young, and I also know something about this aspect. I have always hoped to exchange experiences with Japanese banking elites, and this time I finally have the opportunity."
Aman was extremely attentive. He really wanted to know about Japan's main banking system and the structure of the consortium, but his conversational skills were amazing. If Kitahara Sosuke didn't have the memory of a time traveler, he really wouldn't have thought too much.
He seems to be just a former financial practitioner who is studious and eager to learn.
Victoria seemed a little sleepy when talking about these professional terms. She yawned, looked at Fujiwara Norika, and then she smiled and took out the pistol tied to her thigh under her skirt to scare the other person.
Norika Fujiwara was amused by her and wanted to laugh a little. She felt that this girl was cute for some reason.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Victoria leaned over to chat with her.
Here, Kithara Sosuke and Aman exchanged many experiences, and Aman gained a lot. He smiled and said: "It's a pity that I can't continue working in the bank."
"Haha, Mr. Aman, your knowledge and ability are enough to start a financial holding group by yourself." Kitahara Sosuke complimented.
"Mr. Kitahara is also very good!" Aman smiled and was polite to him, and then he seemed to mention it intentionally or unintentionally, "We are planning to go back to our hometown to see our relatives in the near future. If there is a chance, I really want to try to establish a financial holding group.
I've even thought of a name, but unfortunately I'm an American now, so I'm not popular with people in the Soviet Union."
"Oh? I'm quite interested in the name you're thinking of." Sosuke Kitahara was shocked. He went home to visit relatives before the disintegration of the Soviet Union? What a coincidence.
If he hadn't been a time traveler, Aman would have been flawless.
"Haha, how about Alpha? The first letter of the Greek alphabet is of great significance." Aman said with a smile, "Speaking of which, is Mr. Kitahara here to intervene in the crude oil market this time?"
"Well, Mr. Aman, what do you think of this crude oil market?" Kitahara Sosuke nodded, smiling deeper, "Alfa, what a great name!"
"Short!" Aman said without hesitation, "I think we should go short. If Mr. Kitahara hasn't opened a position yet, you can consider my proposal. It's a pity that I don't have enough funds to short this wave. No matter how the Gulf War is fought,
I believe the U.S. government will not watch the price of oil soar."
"But the surge in oil prices is a good thing for the U.S. government, right? The Allies hope to make money by going long this time, and the Soviet Union is watching covetously. Will the U.S. government still follow the Soviet Union's policy?" Kitahara Sosuke pretended to be skeptical.
Aman glanced at him meaningfully and said with a smile: "Of course, under normal circumstances, the United States and the Soviet Union will stand in different camps. The Allies are all doing long, and it is not surprising that the United States regulates the increase in oil prices...
But what if the Soviet Union doesn’t take action? In fact, I have many friends who are still in the Soviet Union. What’s strange is that given such a good opportunity, no one from them came to intervene in the oil market. Seeing the drop in oil prices today, I
It makes me even more suspicious. If only people from the Allied Powers participate in this transaction, what will be the result?"
What he said was actually very explicit.
The implication is that he is admonishing Kitahara Sosuke to go short.
No matter what Aman's intentions were, Kitahara Sosuke still agreed with his words.
And he should know some details about the disintegration of the Soviet Union. He doesn't believe that there is nothing wrong with rushing back to Russia in such a hurry!
"Haha, of course these are just my personal guesses. Mr. Kitahara can just listen to it." Aman changed the subject and changed the topic.
After the chat, Aman kindly invited Kitahara Sosuke to have dinner with him, but he refused.
But Victoria, who was harboring evil intentions, stayed behind on the grounds that she wanted to apologize to Kitahara Sosuke.
As soon as Aman left, only Kitahara Sosuke and the other five were left in the VIP room.
This time Yamada Kazuma was prepared and could restrain Victoria at any time and prevent her from hurting Kitahara Sosuke.
Victoria, on the other hand, looked at Kitahara Sosuke eagerly, as if she was expecting something.
