"According to a report from the spokesperson of the U.S. Department of Information, tariffs on imported oil will be reduced and crude oil prices will usher in a new round of plummeting!" On a large billboard in a New York square, a female anchor was interviewing a politician with a big nose.
The big-nosed politician talks to the camera, meaning that the United States is a country that advocates freedom of consumption, but it is highly dependent on oil consumption. Oil consumption alone ranks first in the world every year. In view of the increasing amount of oil imports, the Ministry of Finance,
Prepare to adopt the policy of reducing or reducing oil tariffs to alleviate the current high oil prices!
Immediately afterwards, the big-nosed politicians began to make irresponsible remarks about the Arab oil-producing countries' continuous increase in oil prices. They said that those countries rely on constantly raising oil prices to develop their national strength. They also said that oil belongs to the people of the world and cannot be used by some people.
It's all controlled by the state. In short, it's full of nonsense.
But when pedestrians stopped in Times Square in New York City saw the news, they felt happy, especially those who owned cars. They knew that soon their fuel costs for driving would be reduced, and they could save their money and buy new toys for themselves.
, or go to the bar and drink a few more beers.
At the same time, some European and American countries, such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, which follow the lead of the United States, have also begun to denigrate oil and require oil-producing Arab countries to lower their oil import prices as soon as possible. In their words, everyone is taking it from you.
Those who import oil, if we don't buy it, your oil will rot in our hands. In short, if the price is high, we will refuse to import it! When doing business, you must know how to "small profits but quick turnover"!
This gangster logic has made it difficult for many Arab countries. In order to develop their economies, these countries have finally raised the price of oil a little bit, so that they can earn more foreign exchange to develop domestic infrastructure projects. Now, European and American countries are forcing the palace together, and they must
They will lower the price of oil, otherwise they will stop purchasing in large quantities, and they still call it "small profits but quick turnover"!
These small countries are surprised. Since "small profits but quick turnover" is so popular, what about American semiconductors, British cars, French wine, and German home appliances? Why don't your products have "small profits but quick turnover"?!
For a time, small Arab countries started a war of words with these big European and American countries over oil prices.
For the United States, the country is in a state of excitement. First of all, Wall Street in the United States reacted immediately, and oil futures began to fall crazily!
Many people have begun to look down on the price of oil, thinking that the price of oil will fall no matter what this time, because it represents the prestige of the United States in the world. We, the United States, let you fall, how dare you?
Following the London Exchange in the United Kingdom, the Toronto Exchange in Canada, the Hong Kong Exchange in Asia, and the Tokyo Exchange, etc., they also badmouthed crude oil futures!
Those snipers who have been shorting crude oil futures from the beginning, as well as financial bigwigs, began to boil, cheer, and howl!
Huge profits come too fast!
Especially this September, it is simply a miracle from God!
Not to mention those large investment companies, even many ordinary people in the market now know that as long as you have money and are willing to short crude oil futures, you can make a lot of money!
In Hong Kong, the aunts who sell vegetables, the hawkers who butcher fish at the fish market, as well as bus drivers, taxi bosses, etc. all go to the stock exchange to open accounts, buy futures, and short crude oil!
Not to mention Wall Street, those financial investors were like hungry wolves that smelled blood, and immediately pounced on it, using their funds to short crude oil crazily!
The funds for shorting crude oil are constantly increasing, 500 million, 1 billion... 5 billion, 10 billion!
As the big winners this time, Downey and Buffett teamed up to snipe crude oil futures and achieved great success. In just half a month, their investment return ratio was as high as 30%. In other words, they invested US$5 billion and now have
Earned a profit of 1.5 billion!
Buffett was excited when he looked at the data in front of him. According to his own calculations, this rate of return has reached the "critical point" he set. He made 1.5 billion in half a month. He is already the god of stocks among the gods of stocks!
He was so excited that he pulled on his tie. Next to him, his confidant Arthur said to him: "Sir, do you want to close the net now?"
Yes, we have reached the critical point, we can’t be greedy and close the net!
Buffett said to himself, looking at the huge profit figures, swallowing hard, and said: "I want to ask Mr. Downey!"
Arthur glanced at Buffett and felt that Buffett was a little "distraught" at this moment. Is it his own misunderstanding? This financial boss who is both a boss and a master would also be excited? Or at a loss?
In Arthur's eyes, Buffett has always had iron discipline, and must abide by the rules every time he makes a decision, just like fighting a war.
Buffett no longer paid attention to Arthur and others. He immediately called Downey, the president of Tang Financial Company and the head of the Rothschild family.
Downey was on the other end of the phone, chewing a cigar, sitting on the boss's chair and looking at the trend chart of crude oil futures. Next to him, his subordinates were quickly updating profit data and other information on the phone.
Downey turned the boss's chair, his eyes still stayed on the trend chart, and said: "My dear Buffett, what do you want to see me for?"
"That's it, Mr. Downey!" Buffett was brewing his words on the other end of the phone. "At present, the profit target of our investment company has almost been reached. Thirty percent profit is already the best, so I suggest you close the net now and throw it away.
Throw away all the futures in your hands!"
Donnie puffed on the cigar smoke and smiled: "What are you talking about, dear Buffett? You want me to throw away all the futures on hand?"
"Yes, oil prices have almost dropped here, and the decline has begun to weaken. Even if it continues, we won't make much money."
"Haha, dear Buffett, did you know that the price of oil has risen from 1.8 US dollars a barrel to 2.9 US dollars, almost doubling! In my opinion, this is not its lowest price, and it is best to return to its most comfortable level.
1.8 area!”
"This is impossible, Mr. Downey!" Buffett thought for a moment and tried to dissuade him: "Just give it up when it's good. This is also the principle I have always followed in my investment."
"Haha, that's your principle, but it's not mine, isn't it?" Downey chuckled. "My principle is never to close the net until I catch a big fish! I have worked hard to raise more than five billion US dollars.
, I have only made 1.5 billion now. How much can I share, and how much can you share? Do you know why many people are so poor? It’s because they are not greedy enough! As a person, you have to take a long-term view and be ruthless.
If others are cruel, be cruel to yourself! I am optimistic that I will earn at least three billion this time!"
Buffett gasped, three billion? Then the profit would be more than 50%! Is it possible?
Downey seemed to hear Buffett's thoughts on the other end of the phone, "Are you asking if it's possible? Nothing in this world is impossible! People used to think they couldn't fly, but now there are airplanes! People used to think we couldn't fly
Dive into the bottom of the sea, but now there is a submarine! This world is a magical world, it can even be said to be a magical world - do you know what the ultimate power of magic is? That is money! Money makes all the impossible possible! As long as you have it
,The world was created by me!”
Listening to Downey's domineering remarks, Buffett on the other end of the phone couldn't help but take a breath for some reason.
Only then did he realize that even though he was a stock god and an investment tycoon, he still underestimated the greed of these naturally wealthy and super-rich families!
Maybe to them, five billion is just five million, as simple as five million, but for him, a financial investor, it is a terrifying number.
Because the numbers were too scary, he was so uneasy and hesitant!
"Okay, Mr. Buffett! Put your uneasy heart at ease first! Set a longer-term goal. Believe me, our profit will be more than 1.5 billion this time!" Downey chewed his cigar again, not allowing Buffett to be there.
The other end of the phone retorted and hung up the phone.
"You're mentally ill!" A trace of sneer appeared at the corner of Downey's mouth, "Are you scared of 1.5 billion? And that doesn't even count how much of the profits will be shared by our Tang Corporation?"
Five billion pounds, a total of more than five billion US dollars, Tang's investment is less than half, so even if it really makes a full 1.5 billion, Tang's can get at most 670 million!
This amount is too small. For Donnie, who has a huge appetite, it is only enough for an appetizer!
"Mr. Downey, our profits have increased again!" the recorder suddenly said to him.
Donnie chewed his cigar and turned his seat to look at the screen. The trend chart was indeed amazing, and his profit points were slowly rising!
"That's right! Damn Buffett, you just made a little money and you asked me to throw it away? I'm going to throw it away to your mother! Look, isn't it starting to rise again?!" Downey chewed his cigar and laughed, with a look on his face.
elated,
On the other end of the phone, Buffett didn't hang up until a blind tone came from the phone.
Arthur, his confidant, saw that he was worried, so he took the initiative to step forward and asked: "Sir, does Mr. Downey disagree?"
Buffett nodded, "He wants to earn more! For these super-rich people, five billion is just a small number. They don't take the 1.5 billion they are earning now at all."
"Then what should we do?" Arthur said.
"What do you mean?" Buffett asked.
"What I mean is that if Mr. Downey doesn't sell his, we can sell our own futures!"
Buffett smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think Downey will let us go if we do this? Don't you understand that you have been following me for so long? I am now a beacon. Many people who are short crude oil futures are paying attention to me. If I
What will they think if they suddenly sell the futures in their hands? Of course they will sell it along with them! Then the trend we have finally built will collapse with the loss of funds! By then, Downey’s futures profits will definitely fall, and we will
Became the biggest sinner!"
Of course Arthur understands this. Now they and Soros are fighting like two armies. The army led by Buffett is now firmly in the upper hand. If Buffett's own troops retreat, the external troops following them will also turn around and retreat.
, then Soros will take advantage of the situation and attack!
"So now we can only advance but not retreat!" Buffett said.
"Then when do we retreat?"
"When someone can't help but retreat," Buffett said, "at least we won't be the first group to retreat!"
Just then——
"Mr. Buffett, our profit point has risen again, reaching 1.53 billion!"
"Well, you made an extra thirty million in just ten minutes?" Even Buffett, a veteran, couldn't help but get excited at this moment.
"With huge profits like this, how many of those greedy guys will stop their profits in time and escape without a loss?!" Buffett became worried for a moment.
…
The stock market is a reservoir, but it stores funds instead of water!
Especially in the futures market, the pool is only so big and there is only so much water. If someone makes money, someone will definitely lose money!
"Mr. Soros, our funds have lost 600 million!" Paul, a major member of Longteng Fund, said.
Soros looked as if he were a hawk, "How much money is left to make up for it all!"
"What? You want to increase your position?" Paul couldn't help but look at his old friend Doron.
Duolun also said to Soros with a bitter look on his face: "Would you like to ask Mr. Shi?"
"Yeah, it's better to ask him!" Paul said.
"Mr. Shi has given me the power of trading, so I will carry out his orders! Continue to increase positions and go long in crude oil!" Soros said in a stern tone.
Paul and Doron looked at each other and felt that Soros was losing crazy. Didn't you see that crude oil futures are still falling? Continuing to increase positions will only increase the amount of losses! The best way is to wait for the price to rise and form a trend!
Thinking of this, Paul nodded to Duolun, winked, and then secretly went out to call the big boss Shen Bi.
Shen Bi has also been paying attention to this financial war. When he heard that the current loss of Longteng Fund reached an astonishing 600 million, he almost spit out the coffee he drank in his mouth!
The amount was so huge that he was frightened!
"Don't worry, I will call Mr. Shi as soon as possible! Yes, God, it's a big deal this time!" Shen Bi shook his head and felt that Shi Zhijian's decision was wrong from the beginning, because he and Saipan have always been
His admiration for Shi Zhijian supported his wrong decision. Now the facts are before our eyes. He has lost more than 2 billion yuan and has lost 600 million yuan, and the losses are still continuing!
Shen Bi said a few more words to Paul to encourage his fighting spirit. Then he hung up the phone, took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Then he put the handkerchief back in his arms and dialed Shi Zhijian directly.
Hotel phone number.
Jingle bell bell!
The phone rang three times before someone answered the call.
"Hello, may I ask where you are looking?" A very clear female voice said.
"I'm looking for Mr. Shi Zhijian!"
"Sorry, he's not here!"
"Who are you?"
"I am Mr. Shi Zhijian's secretary, Judy!"
"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Judy, so Mr. Shi went to Biandu?"
"Mr. Shi went out early in the morning!"
Hearing this, Shen Bi guessed that Shi Zhijian must have gone to the exchange or Soros Investment Company. It seemed that he was still very concerned about this battle!
