Shortly after the market opened on the second day of the war, the price of WTI crude oil futures fell again. Although it was only a drop of 0.5 meters of gold per barrel, it still caused an uproar in the trading floor.
The trading floor is also equipped with a TV that broadcasts the current situation of the Gulf War in real time, making it easier for investors to analyze the rise and fall of oil prices.
The air force of the multinational force has achieved a significant and huge advantage. Coupled with information interference from electromagnetic waves and other aspects, the Iraqi army is fighting and retreating, and it seems completely difficult to resist.
However, the military experts on TV still maintained their original views. Even if the multinational forces achieved absolute air supremacy, they still could not avoid the battle of the ground forces. How to deal with the millions of steel lions was always a big problem.
As long as the war continues and the future is long, oil prices will always rise. However, these two fluctuations have caused those players with 100 times leverage to lose all their money. People who think that this time the oil market futures trading is purely to make money are also quickly changing their thinking.
Leverage must bear the risk of liquidation caused by a shock!
Kitahara Sosuke looked at the scrolling screen with endless emotion in his heart. During the previous stock market crash, he did not enter the market to short-sell. He just watched the whole process with a cold eye as a bystander. His feelings were not intense. As a participant now, even though he already knew the outcome.
, my heart is still full of tension and expectation.
This sense of excitement is probably why many people like investing.
If you make a profit, you will be a young model in the club, but if you lose it, you will work in the sea.
A gambler's mentality is not advisable.
This morning, even Victoria, who didn't seem to know much about futures, accompanied him to watch the changes in oil prices. Romon, who had always been confident and had secretly invested money to go long, now looked a little ugly.
Oil prices have been changing all the time and have never risen again. From the opening price of 38.6 meters of gold per barrel, it has dropped to 37.8 meters of gold per barrel. However, compared with the 25 meters of gold per barrel in July, it is still up a lot. I entered the market very early.
A person is making a lot of money. As long as his position is not liquidated now, he will make a lot of money without losing money.
At the close of trading at noon, the price of oil fell to 37.4 meters of gold per barrel, a full 1.2 meters of gold per barrel from the opening, a decrease of 3%. Such a shock would not make most people liquidate their positions, but would be like a stimulant.
In general, more people poured into the crude oil futures market and increased their margins.
Seeing this, Kitahara Sosuke already knew that there was no need to continue reading.
He planned to take Fujiwara Norika and Sakurai Saeko to go shopping in the afternoon. Victoria was also tired of seeing it. She just confirmed that she would make money when the oil price fell, so she and Kitahara Sosuke left each other alone.
After the call, she also found an excuse to leave George Futures Trading Company.
The most confused person is Luo Meng. He is a manager and an investor. Now that the oil price has started to fall so ridiculously, he is extremely confused.
The futures market often fluctuates and swallows up those highly leveraged speculators. Everyone in this industry knows that, so even though the situation was so clear this time, he still only used the safest leverage of 10 times to ensure that he would not be directly liquidated.
But even if you are preparing to harvest leeks, you shouldn’t play this game on the first day of trading, right?
The reasonable explanation that Luo Meng can think of now is that it is a technical adjustment. The big guys are using this shock method to force out some low-capital and high-leverage speculators, so that they can more concentratedly harvest profits.
On Kitahara Sosuke's side, he felt relaxed. He took the two girls to a local restaurant for a big meal, and then asked Yamada Kazuma to drive a borrowed car to the Macy's Department Store in downtown Seattle.
In fact, he originally wanted to go to an NBA game. At this time, the Seattle City team was not the Thunder, but the SuperSonics he was familiar with. In the 1990s, there was Rainman Kemp and Gary Payton, although they were in the 1990s.
It has also become the backdrop for the God of Basketball, but it is still very enjoyable to watch.
However, it is August now, the NBA offseason, and there is no need to watch it. It is estimated that the two girls will not like to watch the collision of muscular men, so he simply did not mention it and went directly to their favorite shopping mall!
Macy's Department Store was founded in 1858. It now has 850 stores and a variety of luxury brands. Overseas luxury goods have a natural appeal to Japanese girls. It is a rare visit, and Sakurai Saeko and Fujiwara Norika also want to have a good time.
Relax.
"Sister Saeko, why did your skin suddenly become so hydrated? I'm so envious~" Fujiwara Norika held Sakurai Saeko's hand. I don't know when the two of them had become very familiar with each other. They called themselves sisters and often held hands and whispered.
, leaving Kitahara Sosuke and Yamada Kazuma who were following behind stunned.
"Maybe he changed his skin care products..." Sakurai Saeko felt a little guilty and blushed. I heard that the men's one has a moisturizing effect on the skin, and he also likes to put it on his face. I don't know if it has anything to do with this.
It doesn't matter...
"What skin care products are you recommending to me? I want to use them too~" Norika Fujiwara asked curiously.
The voices of the two came occasionally, and Kitahara Aoi couldn't help but cough. Yamada Kazuma on the side looked serious, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
"Mr. Kitahara, actually I have a question, I don't know whether I should say it or not." Yamada Kazuma performed his duties as a bodyguard, followed the three of them closely, and always observed the surrounding situation.
Kitahara Sosuke took out the cigarette and paused, then said with a smile: "What's the problem?"
"About that Russian girl. My intuition tells me that she is not as simple as she seems. This is a professional habit developed after being in the club for many years. I can't say it is 100% accurate, but it still works. Mr. Kitahara
You gave her a profit of 330 million. Although you received interest and 10% of the profit, compared with your contribution, our loss... is a bit big. Is it worth it?" Yamada Kazuma doesn't know much about finance.
But simple accounts can still be calculated.
Kithara Sosuke smiled and replied: "There is never anything absolutely worthwhile in the mall, and any investment has certain risks. Did you hear the conversation with Mr. Aman during the day? What do you think he is doing?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "He...seems to be asking for help, Mr. Kitahara." Yamada Kazuma frowned. It looked like he was here to apologize, but in fact it was more like
Looking for a chat with Kitahara Sosuke.
Especially when the bank question suddenly came up. After that, Aman kept asking and Kitahara Sosuke was answering. Anyone with a discerning eye could see something unusual. Yamada Kazuma didn't understand the finance-related chat between him and Kitahara Sosuke at all.
It was precisely because he didn't understand that Kitahara Sosuke asked Yamada Kazuma's opinion.
Fujiwara Norika and Sakurai Saeko will involuntarily focus on the content of the conversation, while Yamada Kazuma, who does not understand this, will focus on Aman Friedman!
Therefore his judgment is more direct!
"The feeling he gave me was that he came to ask for help in a very subtle way. He wanted Mr. Kitahara to help him with something, but he couldn't say it outright, he could only hint. In the past, in the group, some marginal gray matters were involved.
Deal, those who come to ask for help... President Yamada is also like this, their attitudes and expressions are very similar. The Russian girls who stayed behind deliberately cooperated with us, just like..."
Kazuma Yamada said no more.
In some judgments, he cannot overstep his authority and guide his superiors.
Kithara Sosuke nodded slightly, and his expression became solemn for the first time: "I thought so too."
Maybe, from the beginning, the other party deliberately approached me?
Thinking back carefully, this thing was too bizarre and coincidental. Just when he was about to sign a contract with Romon and intervene in the oil market, Victoria rushed in unreasonably.
He attacked a futures trading company, took himself away, sold the goods, and then sent them back. Aman came over to apologize, talked about oil and short selling, and finally cooperated.
Luo Meng would not betray his personal information, so why would Aman know that he is the bank president?
Too many doubts.
So Kitahara Sosuke is now waiting for a possible reply.
Thinking of these things, the calls of two women suddenly came from ahead. Kitahara Sosuke immediately ran over, thinking that something had happened, but he did not expect that they insisted on dragging him into the Rolex flagship store.
Saeko Sakurai and Norika Fujiwara chose the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona, Ref. 16500 series, just launched by Rolex in 1988. This piece is suitable for driving and people who pursue speed. It has an elegant appearance and is very attractive, but the price
It's not low either, the piece they chose cost over 30,000 meters gold.
The two young rich ladies were very generous and each bought a piece for Sosuke Kitahara, which made Kazuma Yamada envious.
This watch costs more than 3 million yen. The average annual salary in Japan in the 1990s was less than 1.5 million yen. As the president of Kitahara Human Resources, Yamada Kazuma’s annual salary was only 6 million yen, and he could not afford such a luxurious watch.
.
"Yamada-kun, let me give you a piece. As the president of Kitahara Human Resources, you can't be too shabby when you go out." Kitahara Sosuke said that he did not allow him to refuse, and he also took a piece and gave it to Yamada Kazuma.
Holding the watch box in his hands, Kazuma Yamada had mixed feelings in his heart.
More than half a year ago, he was a janitor at Aida Seiki. He was expelled from the Yamada group and lived a hard life with a monthly salary of less than 100,000 yen. Now, he is qualified to wear a 3 million yen luxury watch.
.
All of this was given to him by the young man in front of him.
After leaving the Rolex store, Kitahara Sosuke's temperament was even more outstanding when he was wearing a famous watch. The two women's eyes lit up when they saw him, and they wished they could buy him a new suit and new leather shoes.
Kithara Sosuke quickly refused and took them to the women's section to buy some gifts for Kobayashi Kyoko, Kitano Ran and Onoe Orihime.
A few people were having a good time shopping when the sharp-eyed Norika Fujiwara suddenly exclaimed, pointed at a figure that disappeared in the crowd and shouted: "President, that person is...Miss Momo Inoue!"
Inoue Momo?
Kitahara Sosuke and Yamada Kazuma were suddenly stunned.
Especially the latter.
He was the one who personally sent Inoue Momo away, and he still remembers Kitahara Sosuke's instructions at that time.
After handling the matter of Inoue Logistics, Inoue Momo took the money given by Kitahara Sosuke and went to Hawaii. After that, she had no contact with her again. She didn't expect to meet her here.
