Chapter 284 The War Starts

Su Cheng didn't have time to talk to Director Huang. When Mr. Zhou received the phone call, the oil price had already rose significantly.

The war did not start immediately, but Bush's order to start the war must have been issued. At this time, he is probably calling his allies, as well as the Soviet Union and other countries. Gorbachev received a phone call one hour before the war. [China] The country has cut off high-level contacts with the United States since 1989. At present, it has not been resumed. The meeting between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Secretary of State used the coincidence of the airport waiting hall... Mr. Zhou received a phone call from an estimated second-way trafficker.

Oil giants also have their own sources of information, not necessarily the president, but can be presidential staff, cabinet members or some important senator. They invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in parties, parliamentarians and presidents every year, which is too much to say without a realistic return.

Now, it is a good time for oil giants to make profits. Before ordinary businessmen get accurate information, only they are guaranteed to dare to enter the market.

It will be difficult to buy oil soon.

When Dahua's multiple orders accumulated to 40 million barrels of oil, the oil price had rebounded significantly, and the huge empty orders that had not been consumed were all cancelled. Even if you didn't receive the news of the beginning of the war, everyone knew that the scene in front of you was abnormal. Mr. Zhou put down the phone at this time and said to Su Cheng in surprise, "The American plane took off and hit you again. Did you guess?"

Su Cheng smiled and said with a relaxed tone, "I'm bold. Multinational troops will always start to attack in recent days, but if it is three or five days at night, there will be much more pressure."

Director Huang said, "The last time I bought it short, Su Dong borne the loss for two days. Among other things, the interest alone is hundreds of thousands of yuan. Finally, the United States put a strategic reserve of oil into the market, and suddenly bulls fooled Dahua's profit of at least 200 million. 200 million dollars!"

People who didn't know took a deep breath. Two intern girls from the State Council looked at Su Cheng with golden eyes. When the average monthly salary is not 1,000 yuan, the aura of $200 million is too dazzling.

Director Huang is very happy to have paved the way for himself. In this way, if the losses of the State Reserve are exposed, he can also resist with non-war crimes.

Of course, those who are not concerned about this matter will not know the role played by the National Reserve Center.

Su Cheng doesn't care about Director Huang's "self-redemption" whether he survives or hangs up, it has nothing to do with Dahua. He is really a little busy.

On the one hand, Mr. Zhou enthusiastically asked about the short-selling process a few days ago, and Professor Dai also interrupted to comment on the situation in the Middle East.

On one side, the futures exchange constantly needs to be confirmed. Transactions of millions of dollars require Sucheng to authorize some futures transactions that exceed the current price and need to be confirmed by Sucheng.

With no choice, Su Cheng had to stare at the screen with one eye and then input the authorization over and over again, slandering: Boss Zhou, do you really have nothing else to do? The Gulf War is about to start, and Saddam is about to be beaten. Why don't you pay attention to it in the secret conference room?

Mr. Zhou couldn't hear his heart, but he refused with his actions.

In fact, Zhou Lao, Su Zhenguo, Duan Yuanguang and others did not mean to leave. They chose a comfortable position, looked at the screen and talked, drank tea and chatted...

Mr. Zhou also said to Su Cheng thoughtfully, "You don't have to worry. Do your own thing first. We old men are idle..."

Su Cheng wanted to cry but had no tears, and most of his energy still had to be on him. Fortunately, oil prices keep rising, and there is not much to think about.

This situation lasted for more than half an hour, and the red phone in the room rang again. Then, a staff member turned on the TV.

"It's started." After Mr. Zhou put down the phone, the TV station also quickly released the clips that had been prepared for a long time.

This is the first large-scale exercise since the United States proposed asymmetric warfare. With a large number of aircraft, long bombing and precision-guided bombing rhythms, the jaw-dropping performance is just the beginning.

The information was sent in continuously from the outside. Just looking at the scale and form, the fat expert's face changed and said to himself, "It's a little unexpected!"

Sucheng sighed secretly and thought that the face war was the time for an accident. Not to mention the [China] country, even Iraq and the Americans were surprised by the power of asymmetric warfare.

"Iraq's heavy equipment is over." Mr. Zhou got a message and took a deep look at Su Cheng.

The fat expert muttered, "Iraq is too careless, the quality of the soldiers is too poor, and the disguise is not done well. However, the duration of U.S. air strikes will not be too long. Just look at the way they attack. If you rely on intelligence, resources are always limited. In addition, Iraq's counterattack has not yet begun. If they launch missiles to Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates, it may have an effect..."

Su Cheng couldn't bear to turn his face away.

Duan Yuanguang saw it and said with a smile, "Su Cheng, do you also know anything about the military?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "The time and effect of the U.S. air raids determine whether oil prices rise or fall. If the effect is not good, the oil price will rise very high and last for a long time. If Iraq has a counterattack, and the counterattack is effective, oil prices will rise even higher. On the contrary, if the effect of the air strike is obvious, or Iraq's counterattack is very weak, the oil price will soon fall back... I have to think about the direction of the futures.

"Oh, which one do you prefer?"

Su Cheng took a look at the fat expert, smiled and said, "If the oil price rises to a certain extent, it will fall. The speed may be very fast."

From what he just said, this is completely against the opinion of the fat expert.

The fat expert said angrily, "Your judgment is going to suffer a big loss... Modern weapons and equipment are only one aspect, and the human factor is very important. No one, no one is, no better weapon is just a t of steel..."

Zhang Chao is also a young man. He was worried that the fat expert would affect Su Cheng, so he couldn't help interfering, "You speak well. The judgment we make will decide whether to make money or lose money. Do you have the pressure of 10,000 yuan to try it?"

Su Cheng blocked him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, do something."

Zhang Chao glanced at the fat expert and went back to supervise.

The fat expert coughed heavily. When he was ready to prepare a rebuttal, the Dahua trader disturbed his mind with a shocking roar: "$32 in London!"

Just hovered from $26 to $28 oil price, as if he had suddenly got adrenaline, and climbed to $32. Because it was too fast, the $4 increase even had a break point on the screen curve.

The quotation in the market is so fast that the quotation can't keep up with the real price.

Traders in the City of London look at the screen and send messages to traders around the world by phone, with an interval of a few seconds. If it does not appear at ordinary times, the artificial delay will be shown in this period of drastic change. Everyone can only keep buying more and then buying more...

A few minutes later, the oil price climbed to $38. The traders in the State Reserve Center let out huge cheers, no matter what occasion they were on.

Director Huang was overjoyed and ran to hug Zhu Enbo. In the past day or so, they have been under a lot of pressure. The deposit of 60 million US dollars really makes people lose their hair when they think about it.

Mr. Zhou tilted his body, put one arm on the armrest of the chair, and asked with a smile, "So you can make money?"

"Yes, we built positions at an average of $26.5 to $38.5, and made a profit of $12 per barrel." The profit of 40 million barrels is 480 million US dollars, and Sucheng has no famous saying about this.

Mr. Zhou continued to ask, "Is the State Reserve Center also profitable?"

Director Huang was not in front of him, and Director Mao replied on his behalf, "The State Reserve Center remembers that it bought more, so it also made a profit."

"It's not at 26 dollars, is it? I think they are happy a little late.

"No. I don't know exactly how much." Director Mao didn't dare to take responsibility. He quickly called Director Huang back and asked him, "How much did you buy more?"

Director Huang replied hesitantly: "Start at $36."

"So, if the war hadn't started, the State Reserve Center would have actually lost $10?" Mr. Zhou's thinking was very clear and directly grasped the point.

Director Huang opened his mouth and couldn't speak. Director Mao was also extremely embarrassed.

Mr. Zhou waved his hand to let them go down, and the oil price continued to grow wildly. Although it was a little slower than before, it was also much faster than normal. It only took half an hour to reach $40.

This time, because Dahua Industry and the State Reserve Center are buying more, the atmosphere in the conference hall is much more harmonious. Everyone showed high spirits.

Su Cheng quietly ordered Zhang Chao: "I'm ready to buy short."

Zhang Chao said in surprise, "So fast?"

"Iraq has no resistance and is exposed." Su Cheng sat in the hall, but it was actually difficult to get first-hand information. But the words exposed by Mr. Zhou, as well as the TV station's report, are enough for him to disguise.

$42 is the highest price in the memory of Sioux City, but it is difficult to determine how long the peak of $42 will last. Maybe it's just a moment, maybe there are only a few transactions?

Therefore, the peak price cannot be used as the basis for trading. What's more, from $26 to $40, it has earned $114 per barrel, a total of $640 million, and short selling is a large amount of income, so there is no need to care about the gains and losses of one or two dollars.

The correct judgment over the past few days has given Zhang Chao a strong psychological hint. Without asking any more questions, he returned to the corner of Dahua and began to organize traders to sell orders.

Dahua did not hide it, and their actions immediately attracted the attention of the State Reserve Center.

Zhu Enbo suddenly fell into a dilemma.

As far as reason is concerned, he should advance and retreat together with Su Cheng, because Su Cheng's judgment has been correct for a long time. But emotionally, he felt that he left too early. It's only an hour since the war started. Can a war end in an hour?

In Zhu Enbo's opinion, oil prices are likely to rise by another $5, and it's not too late to sell at $45. Most importantly, although selling orders now can make the State Reserve make money, it can only make millions. At that time, it is not certain whether the merits and demerits can be offset or not.

On the contrary, if you hold on for a few hours, or a day, let the oil price rise to $45 and then sell, the State Reserve Center can earn tens of millions of dollars, with completely different meanings...

Su Cheng waited for more than ten minutes. Seeing that the State Reserve still had nothing to do, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

He came directly to Director Mao and said, "Director Mao, oil prices will soon enter the downward channel. Please order the National Reserve Center to sell orders."

Director Mao is the director of the State Reserve Center. When Su Cheng said this, Director Huang and Zhu Enbo were all anxious.
