Chapter 275 Unexpected Visitor
Yue Zhengyu laughed cheerfully, untied the two buttons of the red shirt and said, "This futures market is really exciting. It rises in a blink of an eye and falls in a blink of an eye."
He laughed because the oil price was generally rising, and occasionally fluctuated by dozens of cents, which only made them feel that their judgment was correct.
The inertia of history is always a little stronger than people expected.
Director Huang stroked his stomach and smiled, "The situation is changing, and only a few people can seize the opportunity. When I was young, I didn't dare to think of such a good thing.
Yue Zhengyu said happily, "Foreigners fight and Chinese people make money. Why do you think we are so happy? It's like sending money."
All four young people are laughing. In order to make a war fortune, they raised 500,000 US dollars, which is a huge sum of money. But it is not enough to be seen in the oil futures market. With 10 times the leverage, you can buy 160,000 barrels of crude oil, which can only be attached to the name of the State Reserve Bureau.
Of course, they don't seem to understand futures. They only know that this can make money. The State Reserve Bureau should not only help them with transactions, but may also help them.
10 times leverage is very dangerous. Sometimes it is lost in a few minutes. If you need to add a margin, the government office is out of money, so you can only ask the State Reserve Bureau to come forward.
Director Huang looked at the cadre and asked himself. If he opened his mouth, he would have to help.
But on his mind, the direction of buying at the inner gate of the government office is the same as that of the State Reserve Bureau. If it really loses money, everyone will lose money. At that time, the State Reserve Bureau was also too busy to take care of them.
However, this should not happen.
Director Huang looked at the number on the screen, $33.2. One dollar more than yesterday.
He has a lot of malicious thoughts: If the short-selling price of Dahua Industry is a little lower, it will have to increase the deposit now.
Ten times the leverage. It means that the profit is ten times and the risk is ten times. It is equivalent to buying oil futures with a 10% down payment. If the price changes by 10% in the opposite direction, the margin must be increased as a down payment, otherwise the bank will forcibly close the position to make up for its losses. As a trader, it is natural to lose money.
Director Huang thought of this, looked at the four offices and said secretly: They should know this rule. It doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as the oil price rises.
The oil price rose another 8 cents to $33.3. Everyone is indifferent to it.
Director Huang turned his mind. He walked to Zhu Enbo, who looked relaxed, and said kindly, "Xiao Zhu, Dahua over there has lost a lot, right?"
Zhu Enbo was obviously free. He turned around and saw that he was the direct boss. He immediately calculated it and whispered, "It's not time to lose. They used to buy empty orders when they were more than $35, and now they still earn more than $1. However, they bought a total of three 1 million barrels today, with an average price of $32.6 and a floating loss of $0.7, less than $700,000.
"It's only 700,000 dollars." Director Huang was somehow a little disappointed and naturally said this sentence. Shut up now. The trader of Dahua is less than five meters away from him.
Zhu Enbo actually wanted to laugh. He quietly resisted and whispered, "The point is not the 3 million barrels they bought later, but the 200 million order they bought before. When the oil **** reaches 36 dollars, Dahua will be in big trouble. The minimum compensation is 12 million. 37 dollars will be lost by 18 million yuan.
Director Huang was shocked and said, "Fortunately, we chose the right direction, 12 million will be troublesome."
June Porter won an extra 5 million yuan, and the total capital was 25 million US dollars. It was quite difficult to support the network of 200 million US dollars. If you lose 12 million, you will be in a bad situation.
Director Huang shook his head, threw away this idea, and asked, "Can it be 35 today?"
Zhu Enbo squeezed his lips and said, "It seems that it's almost there. The rise is very slowly. I guess everyone is waiting for the war."
"Oh, I'll come later tomorrow."
Zhu Enbo was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Director Huang hated iron and said, "Xiao Zhu, you political mind! You will host the center in the future. Well... Look at Dahua Industry, a private enterprise sitting with us, and Director Mao's attitude. What should I do if Dahua comes to borrow money from me if he loses a lot of money and asks the State Reserve Bureau to help him? Tomorrow, you do it well. If you have nothing to do, I won't come.
Zhu Enbo thought of Su Zhenguo's attitude and nodded unconsciously.
Director Huang raised his head with satisfaction and heard Su Cheng, who was not far away, asking, "Give me Washington time."
"8:10 Washington time. 13:10 in London. It's 21:10 p.m. in Beijing. Dahua's employees answered very quickly and operated the computer at the same time. It connects Xinhua News Agency, Associated Press, Reuters, TASS and other national news agencies. Before the online world, they were the world's largest news source, TV stations and newspapers in various countries, whether they sent their own reporters or not, would reprint the reports of news agencies more or less.
In 1991, in addition to military and commercial intelligence agencies, the news agency was the fastest and most accurate source of information.
There are a lot of news from news agencies in various countries, with hundreds or thousands of news every minute. Although they have been ranked by importance, they still need to be distinguished by people.
Dahua Strategic Division is not yet capable of sending intelligence personnel from all over the world like the Japanese consortium. What they can do is to keep an eye on national news agencies. Therefore, the well-trained employees are highly skilled, and in the face of disturbing foreign language information, they are not messy at all.
The State Reserve Material Adjustment Center in the template of public institutions will not work. Although they have also learned from foreign institutions to set up correspondents, they really use them as correspondents. They only do some work of sending letters and records. Although they can understand English, how can they analyze so much information as mountains and seas?
Therefore, the State Reserve Material Adjustment Center mainly refers to the report of Xinhua News Agency. Director Huang is very embarrassed to work together.
If it weren't for the oil ****, he would really feel ashamed in the face of the smooth Dahua team.
"Buy out, 1 million barrels." Su Cheng's words interrupted Director Huang's thoughts.
"Buy it!" Yue Zhengyu's tone was clear, not gloating.
Su Cheng smiled at the same time. He also reminded: "You have also made some money now, and I suggest you put it in your pocket. If you want to make money, you can wait until tomorrow.
He didn't expect that the oil price would rise to $33.3. He doesn't know the specific historical details, but he is sure that it is already a very high price. If it were Su Cheng himself, he didn't dare to buy more for more than 32 dollars. God knows whether the limit of oil price is 32.1 or 33.3.
Without waiting for Yue Zhengyu to speak, the tall man jumped out first and shouted, "You want us to follow you to lose money, right? As mentioned in the limit, it has risen by 70 cents now. Why hasn't it arrived yet? If I listen to you. I'm losing now... How much have I lost?"
"$100,000." The other person's voice was hoarse. I also have a calculator in my hand. He has been counting the profits.
"$100,000! At least it can be exchanged for 600,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan per person. Aren't you playing tricks? Brother Yue, don't listen to him." The tall man is afraid of losing the opportunity to make money and jumps high. The voice is loud again.
Su Cheng had no intention to argue and laughed, "It's okay if you don't believe it, but it's a lot to make 100,000 US dollars."
"Our brother is impatient." Yue Zhengyu felt something and apologized. He asked, "Sudong, is there any bad news now?"
"Not yet." Su Cheng shook his head and added another sentence, "This war. The United States is well prepared, delayed for nearly half a year, and travels around the world to do diplomacy. It will not tolerate the third oil crisis. Therefore, there will be a big market before the war. You are in full operation. There is a danger of bursting the warehouse.
The burst of position means that the price fluctuation exceeds the proportion of leverage.
For Yue Zhengyu and others, when the price drops by 10%, or 8%, the bank will ask for an additional deposit. Once the additional position cannot be forcibly closed, it will be regarded as a burst. There is no return of 500,000 US dollars.
The tall man was unhappy and wanted to jump out to say something, but was stopped by Yue Zhengyu.
Professor Dai opened his eyes and asked loudly, "What kind of preparations do you think the United States will make?"
Su Cheng murmured: "Put oil into the market, stabilize the mood of oil companies, and try to keep allies in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia. Then issue a notice for the people to prepare for the war.
"Did the International Energy Organization release crude oil on the 11th? I remember they said that in the event of a war, 2.5 million barrels of crude oil will be released every day, right? The market reaction is very cold, that is, a drop of about $2, which has no effect. Professor Dai knows this information very well.
Su Cheng reluctantly said, "International organizations are international organizations, the United States is the United States, and the meaning is different. Moreover, there is also a huge difference between putting crude oil and preparing to put crude oil.
Professor Dai thought about it and said, "So, do you think oil will be released today?" And it's not a promise, it's a direct delivery?""The last two days." Su Cheng nodded and said, "The Americans decided to go to the city for war, so when they are ready for war, they will release crude oil."
Zhu Enbo didn't believe it at all and immediately retorted, "Dozens of millions of barrels of oil every day are useless. War is war. No matter how good diplomacy is, it depends on the situation on the battlefield. By the end of the war, we had already closed our positions. The current situation is that once a war breaks out, the situation will be difficult to control. If we fight for eight years like the Iran-Iraq War, oil prices will have to soar to more than $40, and $50 is not uncommon. I estimate that it is likely that the United States took action, the Soviet Union negotiated, and then returned it to Kuwait.
At this time, the Iraqi army has just experienced the baptism of the Iran-Iraq War. In the eyes of the world, the soldiers in Iraq are of good quality, and the commanders also have a certain level of skills and tactics. Iraq is also one of the largest arms importers in the world. I don't know how much American and Soviet-style equipment has been bought. The top equipment of various countries can be found in Iraq. From anti-aircraft missiles to tanks, plus local operations, it seems to be much more powerful than Vietnam.
The Vietnam-like quagmire is not only what the Chinese think, but also the Americans have the same concerns and worries.
Although many people have heard of the concept of "asymmetric" warfare in the United States, this kind of thing is the same as the "information superhighway". Just listen to it. Several people are really concerned about its realization.
Professor Dai carried a book with some small notes. He found one of them and looked at them and said, "Su Dong, you have bought an empty order of nearly 300 million US dollars. If there is a loss, it will be very serious.
"If it rises by $40, I will stop the loss." Su Cheng thanked him with a smile. The Policy Research Center of the State Council is a pure third party. The State Reserve Bureau has made a loss, and Dahua Industry has made a loss. It has nothing to do with them. Professor Dai's persuasion is also a kind intention.
Seeing that Su Cheng was really not nervous, Yue Zhengyu couldn't help raising his thumbs up and said, "Brother, you are really bold. 30 million dollars is abandoned like running water! Hey!"
Su Cheng arched his hand and said with a smile, "Smile for it."
"If you can't do anything, you can't give up. A man is a man who can't afford to let go. What does he look like?" With a shout, it came from the door, but it was Su Dongyuan.
Beside him, he also has his wife Wang Lizhen and son Su Xing. Wang Lizhen was full of resentment, and Su Xing's eyes were cloudy. In front of Su Dongyuan was Su Zhenguo and his party. I don't know when Director Mao rushed out and accompanied him on the right side of Su Zhenguo, like a fish in water among the members of the Soviet Union.
Director Huang recognized Su Dongyuan and Su Zhenguo, and quickly gave up his seat. His little heart pounded and thought: What is the relationship between this Su city?
Su Zhenguo smiled and waved his hand and said, "You are busy with your work. I'm just to see the situation and comfort the comrades of the State Reserve Bureau."
With that, he shook hands with the staff in the room one by one.
Su Cheng feels a little strange that oil prices are really important. It shows the situation in the Middle East, or the situation in the Middle East that everyone is most concerned about is the oil price. Without this black oil, who cares about the adobe houses in the desert?
However, when Su Zhenguo came to see it in person, it was still a little inexplicable.
Only a few people present understood that Su Zhenguo came to see Su City. Human character, in the ups and downs of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, is the most obvious. If anyone makes 100 million dollars or loses 100 million dollars, he will show real ideas anyway.
After the abolition of Su's punishment, Su Zhenguo's expectations for Su Cheng also increased day by day.
Whether Su Cheng accepts it or not, Su Zhenguo must first be prepared.
In addition, Su Dongyuan, Duan Yuanguang, Cao Jiyuan and other Soviet generals also sat around, as if they were preparing to watch the play.
Zhu Enbo and other cadres of the State Reserve Bureau have done their work. Yue Zhengyu and others shrank their necks and hid in an imperceptible corner.
Only Professor Dai greeted generously. The Policy Research Center is a ministerial-level unit, and he usually sees a lot of big leaders.
Su Zhenguo smiled and said, "Go on, let's listen."
