Chapter 273 Deadline

It was January 14th in a blink of an eye.

The Strategic Business Department of Dahua Industrial Group has been stationed in the hostel of the Planning Commission for more than half a month. Like the cadres of the State Reserve Bureau, they are nestled in a small room. The daily world is screens and materials. There are few concepts for the New Year, and many people have not even left the hostel.

Both units live in a ** villa. The villa is hidden under a sycamore tree with fallen leaves. A gazebo and two rows of small buildings are dotted in the bushes.

** The villa is an old building for some years. The outer wall is gray, and there are blue and white stone steps in front of the door. It looks quite classy, but it is very old, especially the wooden windows and stone carvings in front of the door. I don't know how many tests it has gone through. Like a veteran who has been fighting

The interior of the villa is decorated after a foreign hotel, and the heating is hot.

Su Cheng stepped on the carpet barefoot and stared at the three screens in front of him. They are oil futures prices in New York, London and Japan.

Zhu Enbo stood behind Su City with an indebable look. Also lined up are Director Huang of the State Reserve Material Adjustment Center and Director Mao of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Behind them are the researchers of the Policy Research Center of the State Council. Among them, Professor Dai, who specializes in the Middle East issue, is a senior consultant who enjoys the treatment at the department level. In addition to providing information to national leaders, he is usually busy. I also came to the scene today.

Because January 14th is an important day. In other words, January 15 has an extraordinary meaning.

In the final resolution of the United Nations, the final withdrawal period of Iraq was limited to January 15, 1991. If Iraq still does not withdraw its troops within the deadline, the multinational force will have the legal basis of using "all necessary means". In other words, the Gulf crisis will be greatly likely to turn into a Gulf War.

The premise of the final formation of the 38-Nation Alliance is precisely because of this United Nations resolution. With it, it is not only justified for more ** teams to attack Iraq, but also that Iraq will not withdraw its troops. The multinational force must also fight.

Whether it is for fairness and justice, for oil or for the Kuwaiti royal family. From January 14, the war began to countdown.

In a normal way of thinking, oil prices should start to rise on this day.

When you get up at noon, you can obviously see the relaxed expression of the staff of the Overseas Storage Center. Recently, the strategic business department of Dahua Industry has put a lot of pressure on them. The oil price once fell to $30 and almost rebounded to $31, making their book losses within $2 per barrel. 3 million barrels of crude oil contract. It means that the book loss is less than $6 million.

Director Huang of the National Reserve Center lost his temper. Director Mao was also angry several times.

Finally, I have to get through it.

"It's 10:02." Zhu Enbo sighed gently, and someone said something.

London oil trading market. The market officially opened at 10:03 London time. It is equivalent to 18:02 Beijing time. However, everyone's schedule changes with the London market, and many people look at the watch. I'm used to reading the London watch.

The three screens on the high desk have all been replaced with data from the London oil futures market. The main trading location of Middle East oil is London. When the geopolitics of the Middle East change, London tends to have a price difference with the oil trading markets in New York and Tokyo.

For the people in this small building, the London oil futures market is their focus. The prices in New York and Tokyo are for reference only and have no substantive significance.

At less than 10:03, the curve on the right screen began to move, like an electrocardiogram, forming a small valley peak. Then he shivered and walked forward.

"Good." Zhu Enbo held his hand tightly and thought it was a good start.

Director Mao asked, "Is it going up?"

"In a minute, the oil price rose by more than 60 cents from yesterday's closing. There is a good chance." Director Huang gave an explanation to Director Mao.

If there is a lot of pressure, Director Huang is also under a lot of pressure. How can Zhu Enbo control hundreds of millions of dollars of funds? It all requires Director Huang's signature and consent. Therefore, the book loss of four or five million dollars. It should be counted on the head of the director of the Yellow Department.

If this is an actual loss, it will be a big trouble.

Director Mao was not relaxed. When he heard that it had risen, he nodded vigorously and said, "That's great. Does it mean you'm going to fight?"

"The United States has to fight." Professor Dai said in an expert tone, "Since August, Bush has been preparing. Now everything is ready and only owes the east wind. It depends on which time is right to fight and how to fight.

"If the Soviet Union does not intervene in the next few days, it will be settled. I think this is the only factor that prevents oil prices from rising at present. Another researcher also expressed his opinion.

Director Mao happily looked up at the two data screens next to him, and Director Huang was introducing him. So far, the situation seems to be getting better.

Zhu Enbo endured for 10 minutes. After the oil price rose by $1, he finally felt a little angry. He turned his head and smiled at Su Cheng and said, "Su Dong, since you are going to fight, do you want to adjust your mind?"

"Wait a minute." Su Cheng's smile was warm and unaffected at all.

He has bought $200 million of crude oil, which is twice the amount of the State Reserve Bureau and twice the book loss. However, the downturn of the previous two days gave him a book profit of $1.6, which is still in a surplus.

Zhu Enbo also immediately thought of this. He scolded himself for being anxious and bowed his head and said no words. He looked like he was thinking, but the smile at the corners of his mouth could not be stopped.

In his opinion, crude oil is about to enter the ascending channel. What's the question! It's a little early to be proud now, but it's a matter of time.

Except for the employees of Dahua Industry, most of the people in the room were laughing. Even the researchers of the Policy Research Center of the State Council regard the State Reserve Bureau as their own people and Dahua as an outsider.

A researcher combing the middle score remembered that Su Cheng did not abide by the traditional performance, and couldn't help saying, "The focus of the analysis problem is to grasp the backbone. For example, Saudi Arabia's oil production has increased, and the transportation of the United Arab Emirates has not been affected, which are all trivial. If there is a war in the Middle East and a war in the Persian Gulf, oil prices will rise. This is the iron law. Right, Su Dong.

The researchers of the Policy Research Center of the State Council have always been above the top. In terms of ancient officialdom, they are equivalent to Hanlin. The position is noble and promising, and you can rely on your personal charm and intelligence to get important opportunities, and influence the policy direction of the country by influencing national leaders. Some important think tanks often play more roles than the minister of an ordinary ministry.

Su Cheng's status as the chairman of Dahua Industrial Group is not worth mentioning in front of these researchers. In fact, the gentlemen of the State Reserve Bureau are not intimate of Sucheng. Zhu Enbo and Director Mao also restrained because of the association that San Su was in the same room. Otherwise, they may have celebrated now.

Su Cheng didn't expect the researcher to ask so directly, so he thought for a moment and said, "There is a war in the Middle East, and oil prices are going to rise. This may be right. However, the key to the question is whether the rising time of oil prices is continuous high-level operation, or wave-like ups and downs, or a price rise in just a few days and a few hours.

Director Huang burst into laughter.

Seeing that everyone had seen it, Director Huang was a little embarrassed and whispered, "I think a few hours are too short, but this shows that Su Dong is a person with a sense of humor."

Professor Dai said in a professional tone, "The four Middle East wars are not long, but the two wars are very long. However, the oil crisis is mainly due to Middle Eastern countries. I think in the long run, the price rise is a trend. In the medium term, it is estimated that there will be several months of high-level operation, at least.

Su Cheng was silent, and the facts were better than eloquence. This word can also be used on himself. Oil prices are rising, and I have to emphasize the downward wheel of oil prices, which is neither necessary nor anachronistic. So I just looked at the screen.

Zhu Enbo took the opportunity to say, "Director Huang, Director Mao, the current form is very good. We want to apply for more funds."

He was so tired a few days ago that he couldn't approve the money, and now the situation has changed.

Director Huang made a calculation and made a decision: "I'll give you another 50 million, but I have to wait for a while until 10 o'clock." If the situation is stable, I will give it to you."

This kind of trader system and the thinking of buying and selling futures are absolutely Chinese characteristics, but it has been running like this for many years.

Su Cheng thought to himself: It's really uncomfortable that you don't lose money.

Time goes by minute by minute.

At 8 p.m., Director Mao couldn't help saying goodbye to the unit and repay the work to the leader.

Then at 10 p.m., Zhu Enbo finally got the dream authorization of 50 million US dollars, which was quite a big deal.

Many people began to speak to Su Cheng in a sympathetic tone.

At 11 p.m., the price of oil rose by $2.

So far, except for Sucheng, few people have a strong downward mentality.

Before the early morning, Director Mao returned to the villa with a bright face. With him, there are several young people who are about the same age as Sucheng. They observed everything in the villa curiously.

Director Mao happily threw down his briefcase, smiled at the crowd, and said, "I brought a few people here. They are mainly watching. It doesn't matter."

"It doesn't affect, it doesn't affect." Director Huang shook his head repeatedly and took the initiative to receive. There is no need to look at it, I know that Director Mao's guests are extraordinary.
