Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 1271 1271 [Storm! 】

"According to the report by the spokesperson of the US Department of Information, tariffs on imported oil will be reduced and exempted, and crude oil prices will usher in a new round of sharp drop!" On the big billboard in New York Square, a female host is interviewing a politician with a big nose.

Politicians with big noses talked to the camera, meaning that the United States is a country that advocates freedom of consumption, but its dependence on oil consumption is very high, and oil consumption alone ranks first in the world every year. In view of the increasing quantity of oil imports, the Ministry of Finance is preparing to adopt the policy of reducing or exempting oil tariffs to ease the current high oil prices!

Immediately afterwards, big-nosed politicians began to make irresponsible remarks about the continuous increase of oil prices in Arab oil-producing countries, saying that those countries developed their national power by continuously raising oil prices, and that oil belongs to the people of the world and cannot be used by some State control and so on. In short, full of nonsense.

But the pedestrians who stopped in Times Square in New York saw the news, and their hearts were filled with joy, especially those who own cars. They knew that the cost of refueling their cars would soon be reduced, and they could save their small coffers and buy new toys for themselves. , or head to the bar for a few extra beers.

At the same time, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other European and American countries that only follow the lead of the United States have also begun to sing bad words about oil, demanding that the oil-producing Arab countries reduce the price of oil imports as soon as possible. In their words, everyone is from you Those who import oil, if we don’t buy it, your oil will rot in our hands. In a word, if the price is high, we will refuse to import it! Doing business must know "small profits but quick turnover"!

This bandit logic has made it hard for many Arab countries to ride a tiger. In order to develop the economy, these countries have managed to raise the price of oil a little bit, so that they can earn more foreign exchange for the development of domestic infrastructure projects. Now, European and American countries are forcing the palace together. They will lower the price of oil, otherwise they will stop purchasing in large quantities, and call it "small profits but quick turnover"!

These small countries are surprised. Since "small profits but quick turnover" is so attractive, what about American semiconductors, British cars, French red wine, and German home appliances? Why don't your products "small profits but quick turnover"? !

For a while, the small Arab countries fought a war of words with these European and American powers over the price of oil.

For the United States, the country is boiling. First of all, Wall Street in the United States responded immediately, and oil futures began to fall wildly!

Many people are pessimistic about the price of oil, thinking that the price of oil will fall no matter what this time, because it represents the prestige of the United States in the world.

Followed closely by the London Stock Exchange in the UK, the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in Asia, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange, etc., and at the same time bad-mouthing crude oil futures!

Those snipers who have shorted crude oil futures from the very beginning, as well as financial bigwigs began to cheer and howl!

The huge profits come too fast!

Especially this September, it is simply a miracle of God!

Not to mention those large investment companies, even many ordinary people in the market know that as long as you have money and are willing to short crude oil futures, you can make a lot of money!

In Hong Kong, the aunts selling vegetables, the hawkers slaughtering fish in the fish market, bus drivers, taxi bosses, etc., all ran to the stock exchange to open accounts, buy futures, and short crude oil!

Not to mention on Wall Street, those financial investors were like hungry wolves smelling blood, and immediately pounced on them, taking out their funds and madly shorting crude oil!

The funds for shorting crude oil are constantly increasing, 500 million, 1 billion... 5 billion, 10 billion!

As the big winners this time, Downey and Buffett teamed up to snipe crude oil futures and achieved great success. In just half a month, their return on investment ratio was as high as 30%, which means that they invested 5 billion US dollars, and now they have Earned a profit of 1.5 billion!

Buffett was very excited looking at the data in front of him. According to his own calculations, this rate of return has reached the "critical point" he set, earning 1.5 billion in half a month, and he is already the **** of stocks among the gods of stocks!

He was so excited that he tugged on his tie. His confidant Arthur next to him said to him, "Sir, do you want to close the net now?"

Yes, we have reached the critical point, we can't be greedy to close the net!

Buffett said to himself, looking at the huge profit figure, swallowed hard, but said: "I still have to ask Mr. Downey!"

Arthur glanced at Buffett and felt that Buffett was a little "out of his mind" at the moment. Could it be his own illusion? Will this financial tycoon who is both a boss and a master be excited? Also be overwhelmed?

In Arthur's eyes, Buffett has always had steel discipline, and he must abide by the rules every time he makes a decision, just like fighting a war.

Buffett ignored Arthur and the others. He immediately called Downey, the president of Down Financial Company and the head of the Rothschild family.

Downey was on the other end of the phone, biting a cigar, sitting on the boss chair and looking at the trend chart of crude oil futures, while his subordinates were quickly updating the profit data and other information on the phone.

Downey turned the boss chair, his eyes were still on the trend chart, and he said, "My dear Buffett, what do you need from me?"

"That's right, Mr. Downey!" Buffett was preparing to speak on the other end of the phone, "At present, the profit target of our investment company has almost been achieved, and 30% profit is already the best, so I suggest you close the net now and throw away the money." Drop all the futures in your hands!"

Downey took a puff of cigar smoke and smiled: "What are you talking about, dear Buffett? You want me to throw away all the futures in hand?"

"Yeah, the price of oil is pretty much down here, the drop is starting to wane, and we're not going to make much money if we keep going."

"Hehe, dear Buffett, did you know that the price of oil has almost doubled from $1.80 a barrel to $2.90! In my opinion, this is not its lowest price, it is best to return to its most comfortable 1.8 area!"

"It's impossible, Mr. Downey!" Buffett thought for a moment to dissuade him, "Just accept it when it's good. This is also the principle I have always followed in investing."

"Hehe, that's your principle, but not mine, isn't it?" Downey chuckled lightly. "My principle is that if I can't catch a big fish, I will never close the net! I have worked hard to raise more than 5 billion US dollars, and now I have earned 1.5 billion. How much can I share, and how much can you share? You know Why are many people so poor? It’s because they’re not greedy enough! As a human being, you have to take a long-term view and be ruthless, be ruthless to others, and be ruthless to yourself! I’m optimistic that this time I’ll make at least 3 billion!”

Buffett gasped, three billion? Then the profit is more than 50%! is it possible?

Downey on the phone seemed to hear Buffett's voice, "Are you asking if it's possible? Nothing is impossible in this world! People used to think they couldn't fly, but now there are airplanes! People used to think it was impossible for us Dive into the bottom of the sea, but now there are submarines! This world is a magical world, even a magical world-know what the ultimate power of magic is? That is money! Money makes the impossible possible! As long as you have it, The world is made by me!"

Hearing Downey's domineering remarks, Buffett on the other end of the phone gasped for some reason.

Only now did he realize that even though he was a stock **** and an investment tycoon, he still underestimated the greed of these naturally rich and super rich families!

Perhaps to them, five billion is just five million, five million is as simple as that, but to him, a financial investor, it is a terrifying number.

He was so anxious and hesitant because the numbers were too scary!

"Okay, Mr. Buffett! Get over your anxiety first! Set your goals a little longer. Believe me, this time our profit will be more than 1.5 billion!" Downey bit his cigar again, not allowing Buffett to say goodbye. The other end of the phone retorted, clicked, and hung up the phone.

"You're out of your mind!" Downey sneered, "Scared at 1.5 billion yuan? It doesn't even count. If we want to divide up the profits, how much will our Tang Corporation share?"

Five billion pounds, a total of more than five billion US dollars, Tang's investment is less than half, so even if it really makes a full 1.5 billion, Tang's can get at most 6.7 billion!

This amount is really too small, for Donnie who has a huge appetite, it is only enough for an appetizer!

"Mr. Downey, our profit has increased again!" The recorder said to him suddenly.

Donnie bit his cigar and turned his seat to look at the screen. The trend chart was really amazing, and his profit point was slowly rising!

"That's right! Damn Buffett, let me throw away just a little profit? I'll throw your mother away! Look, it's starting to rise again?!" Downey laughed, biting his cigar, with a serious look on his face. elated,

On the other end of the phone, Buffett didn't hang up until a blind tone came from the phone.

Arthur, his confidant, saw that he had something on his mind, so he stepped forward and asked, "Sir, does it mean that Mr. Downey disagrees?"

Buffett nodded, "He still wants to earn more! For super rich like them, 5 billion is just a small number, and they don't pay attention to the 1.5 billion they are earning now."

"Then what shall we do?" Arthur said.

"What do you mean?" Buffett asked back.

"I mean Mr. Downey doesn't sell his futures, we can sell our own futures!"

Buffett smiled wryly, "Do you think Donnie will let us go if we do this? You have been with me for so long, don't you understand that I am a lighthouse now, and many people who are shorting crude oil futures are paying attention to me. If I What will they think if they suddenly sell the futures in their hands? Of course they will sell them together! Then the trend we have created with great difficulty will collapse with the loss of funds! At that time, the futures profits in Downey’s hands will definitely fall, and we will Become the biggest sinner!"

Of course Arthur understands this. Now their side and Soros’ side are like two armies confronting each other. The army led by Buffett is now firmly in the upper hand. If Buffett’s own troops retreat, the external troops who follow them will also turn around and retreat together. , then Soros will take advantage of the situation and attack!

"So now we can only advance and not retreat!" Buffett said.

"So when are we going to retire?"

"When someone can't help but retreat," Buffett said, "at least, we are not the first army to retreat!"

at this time-

"Mr. Buffett, our profit point has risen again, and it has reached 1.53 billion!"

"Uh, you made an extra 30 million in just ten minutes?" Even Buffett, a veteran, couldn't help but get excited at this moment.

"With such huge profits, how many of those greedy guys will stop the profit in time and get out?!" Buffett became worried for a while.

…

The stock market is like a reservoir, but it accumulates funds instead of water!

Especially in the futures market, the pool is so big and there is only so much water. If someone makes money, someone will definitely lose money!

"Mr. Soros, our funds have lost 600 million yuan!" Paul, the main member of Longteng Fund, said.

Soros stared like a hawk, "How much money is left to fill in!"

"What? You want to increase your position?" Paul couldn't help looking at his old buddy Duo Lun.

Duo Lun also said to Soros with a bitter face, "Do you want to ask Mr. Shi?"

"Yes, I'd better ask him!" said Paul.

"Mr. Shi has handed over the power of trading to me, so I will carry out his orders! Continue to increase positions and go long on crude oil!" Soros said sternly.

Paul and Duolun looked at each other, feeling that Soros had lost his mind. Didn’t you see that crude oil futures are still falling now? Continuing to increase positions will only increase the amount of loss! The best way is to wait for the price to rise and form a trend!

Thinking of this, Paul nodded to Duo Lun, winked, and then sneaked out to call the big boss Shen Bi.

Shen Bi has also been paying attention to this financial war. When he heard that the current loss of Longteng Fund has reached an astonishing 600 million, he almost spit out the coffee he drank in his mouth!

The amount was so huge that he was terrified!

"Don't worry, I will call Mr. Shi as soon as possible! Yes, God, this time it's a big game!" Shen Bi shook his head and felt that Shi Zhijian's decision was wrong from the beginning, because he and Saipan have been in a relationship for a long time. The admiration for Shi Zhijian will support his wrong decision. Now the facts are in front of him, more than 2 billion has lost 600 million, and the loss is still going on!

Shen Bi said a few more words to Paul to encourage his fighting spirit, then hung up the phone, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his brow, then put the handkerchief back into his pocket and directly dialed Shi Zhijian The hotel phone number.

Jingle Bell!

The phone rang three times and was picked up.

"Hello~www.readwn.com~ May I ask where can I find you?" A very crisp female voice.

"I'm looking for Mr. Shi Zhijian!"

"Sorry, he's not here!"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Mr. Shi Zhijian's secretary, Judy!"

"Oh, so it's Miss Judy, so may I ask if Mr. Shi has gone to Biandu?"

"Mr. Shi went out early in the morning!"

Shen Bi guessed that Shi Zhijian must have gone to the exchange or Soros Investment Company after hearing the words. It seems that he is still very concerned about this battle!

But-

"He's off to play golf at Sinnike Hill!"

Plop!

Shen Bi almost fainted!
