Chapter 2468 Oil Futures!

Old Logan understood what this meant, and he immediately hesitated.

You know, the probability of this war is already quite high, which means that Iraq may start a war again at any time. Of course, it is also possible that the war will never break out.

But this probability is already very high for a businessman. He is responsible for the entire family and really dare not take this risk.

So, old Logan enthusiastically organized a banquet at home and invited several oil tycoons.

At the banquet, Old Logan solemnly told these oil tycoons that the big order in Wang Yue's hand had all fallen into his hands.

After hearing what Old Logan said, the tycoons immediately understood what he was thinking, so on the next day, they deliberately spread the word that due to the increased risk of war in the Middle East, their oil companies were preparing to raise oil prices.

Because of Logan's operation, the financial market fluctuated, causing oil futures to hit the daily limit for two consecutive days, directly reaching 40 yuan.

Although he only made six dollars, Old Logan was not prepared to wait any longer. He began to sell his futures in batches when the price hit the daily limit the next day.

At this time, there were still many people like Logan Lao who firmly believed that the stock would continue to rise. Therefore, Logan Lao's selling orders were quickly bought up by others, and the oil futures were not pushed down.

Just after Old Logan sold all his futures, the market rose slightly again, and the Security Council suddenly passed a resolution requiring Iraq to respect Kuwait's sovereignty and withdraw from Kuwait.

It was a pity that Iraq was in a state of chaos at the moment, and he didn't think the United Nations would take action against them, so he firmly rejected the idea.

As a result, the very next day after Iraq's refusal, the Security Council authorized sanctions against Iraq and urged Saudi Arabia to expand its oil production.

As a result, the financial industry that received the news knew that something was wrong, and the oil futures and related stock prices that had risen to the extreme also fell back.

Old Logan broke out in a cold sweat after seeing the result. Fortunately, Wang Yue reminded him in advance, otherwise, he might have been caught in this trap.

So, out of gratitude to Wang Yue, while avoiding taxes, Old Logan also donated his charitable donations to Wang Yue's Future Charity Company.

……

After this oil speculation, Wang Yue’s funds have reached more than 5 billion US dollars, and A Bao’s money has reached 60 million US dollars.

Of course, the reason why it is not as much as imagined is entirely because of the 28% tax.

Fortunately, Wang Yue was able to reduce taxes through charitable donations, and set up a charitable company through Old Logan, so that all these taxes did not remain in the United States, but only remained in the charitable company.

The charity company does charity on a global scale, and of course it also includes domestic charity. Of course, it will use the funds in places where they are more needed.

The reason why he came back this time and did not stay in the United States to continue speculating in oil was entirely because he needed to bring the Future Charity Company back and prepare to let Jones start doing charity work in the country.

In Wang Yue's opinion, doing charity in the country at this time is very simple. That is to directly implement a scholarship program, which can allow many children who have no money to go to school to go to school. This action not only sounds high-sounding, but can also save many talents.

Jones is the person in charge of this charity action arranged by Wang Yue. She is mainly responsible for the domestic student aid program, as well as recruiting personnel in the country and setting up charity branches.

When Wang Yue talked to Jones, he just told Jones that the scholarship could only be used by students with good grades to receive it with their transcripts, and it could only be transferred to the school account as their tuition or living expenses.

Jones didn't quite understand what Wang Yue meant. She felt that was a matter for the future. The most urgent task was to set up a branch in China.

So Jones immediately started recruiting people and launching charitable actions.

However, after Jones left Shanghai and other places, she found that some particularly poor students had no money for lunch and could only eat cold steamed buns.

She was very shocked when she saw this scene, so she mentioned it to Wang Yue after she came back.

Wang Yue suddenly realized that he had forgotten that those extremely poor people not only had no tuition fees, but some of them couldn't even afford to eat.

Therefore, Wang Yue immediately said, "Jones, if that's the case, then let's add a lunch plan. As for how to arrange it, you should discuss it with the company's planner."

Seeing that Wang Yue agreed, Jones immediately went back to discuss it with others. This process continued until December, when the entire Future Charity finally got on track.

Although all these things were left to this beautiful girl, it also gave Wang Yue some time to accompany Wang Mingzhu.

Of course, the two of them were living their own little lives in love with each other, and Abao was also busy with his own things during this period, of course, still continuing with his foreign trade.

Because Abao has money now, he has also made his foreign trade orders very large.

Because Abao was grateful for Wang Yue's help, he only gave his orders to Wang Mingzhu. As a result, Wang Mingzhu became the top performer of the year in less than three months, even better than his master Jinhua.

Wang Mingzhu was very grateful to Abao, so she and Wang Yue wanted to treat Abao to a meal. However, Abao was very polite to Wang Mingzhu and said that he would treat the meal because Wang Yue had helped him a lot.

Wang Mingzhu was a little confused after hearing this. She thought that if Abao and Wang Yue were talking about cooperation, wouldn't that mean they were doing business together to make a fortune? Hadn't they thanked him before? How could it be linked to helping?
So, when she was with Wang Yue, she took the initiative to ask, "Ayue, you and Abao went to Japan and the United States this year. What were you busy with? Why is Abao so grateful to you?"

Wang Yue knew that some things had to be made clear. Otherwise, if Wang Mingzhu thought that it was the previous collaboration between Jian and was deliberately polite to Abao, Wang Mingzhu would be at a disadvantage.

So, he explained earnestly, "We both mixed in the financial market, and he made a lot of money with me, so of course he was very grateful to me."

After Wang Mingzhu understood the whole story, she nodded in understanding. She had no intention of asking more questions. Instead, she asked directly and curiously, "Ayue, Miss Jones is unfamiliar with our place. Aren't you afraid that someone will cheat her?"

Wang Yue was ready to explain in detail when Wang Mingzhu continued to ask about Abao. However, the girl just listened to the excuse and did not ask any more questions. Instead, she cared about an American woman, which made him hold back the rest of his words. He knew that Wang Mingzhu was jealous, and he felt that Wang Mingzhu was more and more lovely, so he smiled helplessly and explained, "Because she is American and the head office is an American company, so, given the current situation, no one dares to lie to her."

Wang Mingzhu thought of the preferential treatment given to many foreign businessmen and immediately understood what Wang Yue meant. She shook her head helplessly and said, "I don't know how those sycophants became officials. It's really shameful."

Wang Yue looked at Wang Mingzhu's indignant expression and couldn't help but sigh that the trend of worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreigners would be very serious for a long time in the future.

However, he didn't want those messy things to affect Wang Mingzhu's mood, so he smiled and said, "I will be out again in a while. Do you want to invest some money to help your family improve their lives?"

Wang Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Is it okay? But the money I make may be more than others, but compared to the large amount you will invest in the market, it is nothing at all, right?"

Wang Yue saw Wang Mingzhu's arrogant look, so he didn't force her. Instead, he smiled and reminded her, "I heard that Shanghai is planning to open a stock market. Aren't subscription certificates being sold recently? Ask someone to help you get a batch of subscription certificates. You can also make a fortune with this."

After hearing this, Wang Mingzhu asked uncertainly, "Is it really possible? I heard that thing is basically unsellable."

Wang Yue saw that Wang Mingzhu was still a little worried, so he smiled and said, "Just listen to me. If there's any loss, it's on me. How about that?"

Seeing Wang Yue's promise, Wang Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "That doesn't count as yours, but I understand what you mean. I'll ask someone to help me subscribe for it later."

She is also a person of action. After returning home, she went straight to her parents and asked them to go back to the factory to find their friends to apply for the subscription.

At that time, many people had no idea what a subscription certificate was, and had no idea of ​​protecting their identity documents. So, when Wang Mingzhu's parents took the spicy strips that Wang Mingzhu got from Wang Yue's factory to exchange for the subscription certificate, they actually got thousands of subscription coupons in return.

When the market is about to open, many people only learn that stocks are going to be issued, and then they start scrambling for the subscription coupons.

After Wang Mingzhu bought all the stocks with the subscription coupons, she did not even wait for the price to go up, but resold the stocks immediately.

Wang Mingzhu's original capital of more than 3 yuan turned into more than 20 yuan in a blink of an eye.

After Wang Mingzhu made money, she found Wang Yue immediately and happily treated Wang Yue to her favorite pork ribs and rice cakes.

When Wang Yue heard that Wang Mingzhu was going to eat pork ribs and rice cakes, he was speechless. He didn't know whether the girl invited him to dinner to thank him or herself.

But there was no point in arguing with his girlfriend, so he just accompanied her for a meal.

After Wang Mingzhu ordered the rice cakes and waited for the dishes to be served, she said to Wang Yue, "Brother, I listened to you and bought the Yuyuan Shopping Mall. I didn't expect it to rise to 180. I made a lot of money this time."

Wang Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, this stock will probably grow for a while, and you can make a lot of money this time."

Just at this moment, the waiter brought the pork ribs and rice cake. Wang Mingzhu picked up a piece happily. When she was about to put it in her mouth, she stopped eating when she heard Wang Yue's words.

Wang Mingzhu looked at Wang Yue eagerly and said uncertainly, "But I have already sold it. Didn't you say that you would buy the stocks and then sell them?"

Wang Yue looked at Wang Mingzhu's cute big eyes and felt speechless. This girl just let go of this opportunity to make money.

However, considering that the housing price in Shanghai will be around a thousand yuan in two years, the money this girl earns can at least buy a 100-square-meter house, which is enough for their family of three to live in in the future.

Besides, this house will be occupied by the elderly couple of the Wang family in the future, and Wang Mingzhu will live with him in the future, so the Wang family does not need so much money.

So Wang Yue smiled and comforted him, "This is unexpected money. No matter how much you earn, it's only earned when you get it in your hands."

After hearing this, Wang Mingzhu felt that it made sense, so she said with a sad face, "I didn't expect it either. I thought I had made a lot of money. There is a saying that goes "Being content is the greatest happiness", but I didn't expect to make so much money."

After Wang Yue heard this, he said with great appreciation, "You are absolutely right. If you want to make money in the future, I will lead you directly and will definitely not let you lose money."

Wang Mingzhu thought about it carefully and it seemed to be right, so she happily started eating pork ribs and rice cakes again. But after eating, she thought of the little money she had missed and couldn't help feeling sad again.

Of course Wang Yue knew that Wang Mingzhu just wanted him to coax her, so he cooperated and coaxed her all the way, and finally sent the girl back.

The next few days passed easily, and Wang Yue and A Bao once again boarded a plane to the United States.

Of course, this time he was still speculating in oil futures. The operation method was exactly the same, and he still used 10 times leverage, but this time he brought old Logan with him.

But Old Logan didn't have the courage to follow Wang Yue and use 10x leverage, so when Wang Yue was buying high, he only followed him with a few hundred million.

So in the following days, Wang Yue first shorted again, taking advantage of the outbreak of the Gulf War to make hundreds of millions again, and then he suddenly went all in ten times and spent nearly 30 billion to buy higher, leaving old Logan a little confused.

It was just that Old Logan had the experience of Wang Yue making money before, so he patiently watched Wang Yue continue to go crazy. But he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he didn't buy as much as Wang Yue.

As a result, a few days later, news suddenly came out that the coalition forces accidentally blew up an oil well during an air strike.

Therefore, the futures price, which had originally fallen to $20 a barrel, suddenly rose to $30.

Wang Yue also cleared out his shares immediately after the price dropped, and the price has increased significantly since then. At this time, his money has reached more than 20 billion US dollars.

But this was not the end. Wang Yue was going to short sell directly next, still putting all his funds at stake.

As if Wang Yue's order was heard, the Gulf War ended surprisingly smoothly. Unlike what others had imagined, which would last for several years, the war ended in just 42 days.
