The oil crisis is still heating up after it broke out.
However, the price of crude oil is slowly falling. The reason is that countless European and American people, especially the American people, firmly believe that with the intervention of the United States and other major powers, this war will soon end, and oil as a resource will return again.
Its original value.
In this regard, both the Financial Times and news television stations around the world expressed optimism.
The reality that oil prices have begun to fall back slightly also tells everyone that this trend seems to have taken shape.
In this regard, those investors who are short crude oil futures are secretly glad and cheering.
Those investors who were long in oil began to quickly cut their profits and put the money they earned into their pockets as quickly as possible!
Seeing the trend, the investment company headed by Buffett began to be unable to bear the loneliness. It still invested the funds after stopping losses and continued to short crude oil futures.
Behind the scenes, Downey Rothschild was sharpening his skills even more. He withdrew a large amount of money from Tang Financial Company, and a full 300 million US dollars was invested in the market again through Buffett. According to his words, "it will last until death!"
Yes, this time he wants revenge!
Have a great comeback!
Under such circumstances, Shi Zhijian's pressure increased again.
At the same time, working with him to resist the pressure is Soros, the financial tycoon. As a trader hired by Shi Zhijian, he is fully implementing Shi Zhijian's plan and striving to quadruple profits!
Such a "ridiculous" plan made the entire Wall Street and financial professionals from various countries laugh until their stomachs ached.
Soros is called the "Greedy Wolf of Wall Street" by his Wall Street peers!
And Shi Zhijian himself was dubbed the world-class "Greedy Emperor"!
"Are they crazy? Four times the profit? Don't you see that oil prices are slowly coming back down?"
"The result of being greedy is to be killed by greed!"
"I expected to get four gold coins, but in the end I couldn't get any!"
This is what the big guys from the Wall Street Financial Times said about Longteng Fund.
At the same time, under the influence of the outside world, the investors of Longteng Fund are even more swarming, wanting to break the contract with Longteng and get their money back!
According to the contract, it will double within a year, but now they want to get their money back!
Because they know that if Shi Zhijian loses this time, he will go bankrupt!
When the time comes, the contract that says Long Teng will bear all the consequences will be nothing but a piece of paper!
"Longteng Fund, pay back the money!"
"Liar fund, spend money!"
A group of people also formed a demonstration team and started demonstrating at the temporary office of Longteng Fund.
The American media took photos one after another, and some who did not mind the excitement followed the demonstrators to take photos. For a while, the downstairs of Longteng Fund became the "check-in place for Internet celebrities" in this era.
Although Mayor Henry, one of the investors, did not directly participate in the demonstrations, he secretly encouraged these people and mentally supported everyone in getting back what belongs to them!
Director Grant even helped the demonstrators buy water and bread in a very down-to-earth manner, telling them: "Revolution requires capital, and maintaining good health is the first priority!"
…
Just when everyone was looking down on Shi Zhijian and Longteng Fund, the American oil overlords headed by Rockefeller began to further hoard oil, whether it was local or imported oil, hoarding it and not selling it to the outside world.
This crazy move by Lowe's immediately halted the downward trend of oil prices.
Just when everyone was surprised and confused, due to the war, the effects of the oil embargo began to slowly show up——
The price of retail gasoline in the United States rose from 38.5 cents in May 1973 to 55.1 cents in December 1973. There were long lines of cars waiting to refuel outside gas stations across the United States. Some states also implemented odd and even numbers for cars.
According to the refueling system, if the last digit of the license plate number is an odd number, you can refuel on a single day. If the last digit of the license plate number is an even number, you can only refuel on even days.
The president of the United States asked gas stations across the United States to stop selling gasoline on weekends, which resulted in longer queues of cars at gas stations. In order to reduce oil consumption, according to the Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act, the speed limit for highway vehicles in the United States was 55 miles per hour in 1974.
(i.e. 88 kilometers per hour). By the end of January 1974, 20% of gas stations in the United States did not have a drop of gasoline.
In fact, as of 1980, no domestic automobile manufacturer in the United States produced luxury cars with a wheelbase exceeding 130 inches (3.3 meters) and a total weight exceeding 4,500 pounds (2,041 kilograms). Automobile manufacturers began to produce a large number of fuel-efficient cars.
Nice car with 4 cylinder engine.
The British government requires people to heat only one room in winter. Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Norway ban driving cars, boats and small planes on Sundays. Sweden imposes a rationing system on gasoline, and the Netherlands restricts those who use more energy than the quota.
People are thrown into prison.
In Asia, despite its lack of historical connections with the Middle East, Japan is one of the countries most dependent on Arab oil.
In 1970, 71% of the country's imported crude oil came from the Middle East. On November 7, 1973, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait declared Japan to be an "unfriendly country" and cut 5% of the country's crude oil imports in December, causing domestic controversy in Japan.
A moment of panic.
In this oil crisis, oil-exporting countries defeated European and American powers for the first time and took control of oil prices. They could say "No!" to those European and American capitalist powers that controlled oil prices, and accumulated huge amounts of money in this battle.
of wealth.
Western countries have paid attention to energy security and began to look for alternative energy sources to oil, such as wind power and renewable energy. In 1975, the United States began to implement a strategic petroleum reserve.
…
Under the influence of rising oil prices, major gas stations in New York City began to experience crazy oil price jumps.
That is to say, when you refuel, the price that was just one price will instantly change to another price, and it will definitely rise. This causes fuel drivers to constantly conflict with gas stations.
But there's nothing the gas stations can do. If prices don't rise, they'll lose money.
However, it was not a problem to keep jumping the code, so we instituted a one-price-per-day system, which caused long queues of drivers who refueled overnight.
Taking advantage of this storm, the Rockefeller family not only continued to hoard oil, but also spent large amounts of money to acquire oil companies, gas stations and other industries that could no longer operate.
From New York to San Francisco, from Los Angeles to Washington, Lowe's acquisition plans swept across the United States.
Under the influence of such factors, crude oil prices went from rising slowly to skyrocketing again, which surprised countless people!
"How is that possible? Are you crazy?"
"The price of oil has exceeded its value!"
"Robbery! This is robbery!"
Countless shouts rang out, and countless people began to form teams to oppose the skyrocketing oil prices.
Unfortunately, the price of oil at this time was no longer determined by a few people. It soared from the original US$2.9 per barrel to US$12 per barrel, and the price increase continued.
Donnie is crazy!
He never imagined that all the money he invested would be wasted!
Buffett was also stunned. He did not expect that oil prices would turn against the wind again, from falling to skyrocketing!
Those who scolded Shi Zhijian before and said that Shi Zhijian was greedy were stunned. They never expected that things would happen to this point. The price of oil actually continued to skyrocket as Shi Zhijian planned, and reached four times in one breath!
"How is that possible? Is he a god?"
"I don't believe it! Yes, how could such a situation happen?"
Downey is going crazy!
Shi Zhijian’s crazy profit of four times was realized!
This was a big blow to him!
This is equivalent to losing four times the US$5 billion he invested!
Of course, the money also came from other investors, but after all, Tang Financial Company lost at least one billion!
Even though the Rothschild family is wealthy, they cannot afford such huge losses.
Buffett was better. He stopped his losses in a timely manner and invested part of his money to do swing trading when crude oil prices fell. After all, he lost up to 200 million. Even so, it was a big failure in Buffett's investment career.
Not to mention Downey and Buffett, Shi Zhijian's mortal enemies, those who had badmouthed Shi Zhijian before were now slapped in the face, and they were beaten painfully!
The world seems to have changed. Everything is changing according to the plan made by Shi Zhijian. What was originally impossible and unattainable has quadrupled, but it has become a reality!
Shi Zhijian’s investment of more than 2 billion US dollars suddenly reached 8.7 billion US dollars!
After deducting the principal and profits of other investors, Shi Zhijian made at least 5 billion this time!
Downey and Buffett were almost crying.
Those demonstrators who had participated in demonstrations and asked Longteng Fund to stop profits in time were all dumbfounded.
"How is that possible?"
"Really four times?"
The profits of Longteng Fund have caused them to completely collapse!
When they lose money, they collapse.
When they make money, they still crash.
…
March 1974&.
Shi Zhijian held the first investor meeting on behalf of Longteng Fund, and officially announced the sale of all stocks at the meeting!
According to his words: "I'm not greedy, four times the profit is enough!"
The number of people attending the celebration banquet that day can be said to be a sea of people.
Not only did the American super tycoon Rockefeller come to participate, Mayor Henry and Director Grant acted as younger brothers, but even the most popular US president also came to celebrate in person.
After all, people like Shi Zhijian who can quadruple the profits of a fund through personal means are absolutely rare, and can even be said to be unique.
Shi Zhijian appeared extremely humble and polite throughout the banquet, and told the outside world that this victory was the result of teamwork.
Shi Zhijian intentionally puts the credit on Soros and others. However, this world is very realistic. Since ancient times, whether it is a fairy tale or a historical biography, there is only one hero, so Shi Zhijian and Soros can only be brilliant.
There is no doubt that Shi Zhijian's "sex-price ratio" is higher and he has become a well-deserved man of the hour!
…
"How is it possible? I actually lost to Shi Zhijian!" Downey Rothschild was furious.
Buffett remained silent.
"He actually did it four times the profit! Am I crazy, or has the world changed?"
"The world has changed!" Buffett comforted Downey. "The hegemony of the United States has lost its authority in the Middle East. Those oil-producing countries no longer listen to its commands and are dominated by it! Especially as oil becomes a global strategic material, it
The price has exceeded the value of any vintage.”
Downey looked at Buffett angrily: "What do you mean? Do you want me to beg for mercy?"
"No, on the contrary, you have lost one billion in this battle. You and I are about the same, and we have also lost two hundred million! Our best way now is to use time to spread the cost and let our
Lose less..."
"No, how could I lose?" Downey refused to admit defeat, "I have to add more money, and the price of oil will definitely drop..."
"Is there still a chance?" Buffett asked, "It's already 1974, and it's been almost a year. Do you think you can win? Instead of putting all your money in the stock market and waiting for a rebound, why not stop losing money?"
"Stop loss?" Downey looked unruly, "Stop loss means losing, and I won't accept it!"
Buffett had nothing to say about this.
He was not willing to lose 200 million, but who made his opponents Shi Zhijian and Soros?!
Especially that Shi Zhijian, he is simply the "god of evil". All calculations and arrangements are in vain. There is only one final outcome, and that is - admit defeat!
Donny Rothschild, who was in a crazy state, made people afraid to approach him. He either beat or scolded his subordinates, and even had his head smashed by a tea cup and his leg broken by a golf club...
It seems that these violent methods are needed to achieve Downey's inner balance.
Losing billions was painful for Downey, but it wouldn't break the bank, but he just couldn't swallow it!
…
The financial tycoons on Wall Street and the elite financial commentators around the world were also shocked by this news.
For them, they had collectively misjudged Shi Zhijian. They had ridiculed him for his greed, saying that it was impossible for Longteng Fund to quadruple its profits, but now——
Everything depends on facts,
Shi Zhijian, won!
The previous sarcastic comments and mocking comments turned around and turned into praise.
"Pete Jian is a well-deserved stock god, defeating Downey and Buffett!"
"Longteng Fund is unique and investors have made huge profits!"
"God-like man, Shi Zhijian!"
Amidst the many praises, investors who finally got double their profits when Shi Zhijian announced that he had sold all his stocks this time all shed tears of excitement!
Mayor Henry and Director Grant are examples, and it’s even more difficult to describe!
No one expected that the stocks they invested in would actually quadruple in just one year!
The problem is that before, they were still insulting and urging Longteng Fund to stop profits as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if they make less.
For them, quadruple profits are simply a fantasy!
But the fact is such a slap in the face, Longteng Fund really did it! Shi Zhijian really did it!
The whole Wall Street is going crazy!
Shi Zhijian directly replaced Buffett and became the "global stock god", a world-class————
