Chapter 70: His name is Zhou Ming

If you want to say the most well-known city in the world, New York is definitely one, it is not the capital of the United States, but it is the most developed city in the United States, especially the financial industry here, so it is also known as the world's financial center. In the world economy is becoming more and more interconnected, every move of the financial industry in New York undoubtedly affects the nerves of the world, it can be said that as long as New York has a cold, then the whole world will tremble, just like the Black Monday in 87.

Manhattan is the center of New York, the center of the world's financial center, and it can be said that almost all the important financial institutions in the world are gathered here.

On the south side of the famous Wall Street, near Broadway, is the famous New York Mercantile Exchange, one of the most important futures markets in the United States. Together with the New York Stock Exchange next door, he became two symbols of the New York capital market.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the open auction on the New York Mercantile Exchange had begun for an hour, and the market was full of people, all in their respective areas, constantly staring at the various letters and numbers rolling on the market, and then exchanging opinions with their bosses while screaming and making all kinds of strange gestures, and all kinds of reports that said sell and buy were thrown everywhere like snowflakes.

As the general manager of the U.S. branch of the Hong Kong City Joint Investment Fund Company, Sun Wei was also sent here by Zhou Ming, and Sun Wei also got a position in the New York Mercantile Exchange through his own operation.

"Mr. Sun, what is the situation? What is the opinion of the above gentlemen? Do you want us to start the bill immediately? The talks between Iraq and Kuwait have collapsed, and this news has had a very negative impact on the market, and it is normal for the market to be worried about the instability of the situation in the Middle East. And we have to get started quickly, otherwise we probably won't be able to get in the future. ”

Someone said to Sun Wei that it was Sun Wei's deputy and the subordinates he recruited, after all, as the general manager of a branch, he would definitely not be able to fight the world alone, so there are these people, two of them were brought to the United States by Sun Wei from Hong Kong City, and the other few were newly recruited after arriving in the United States. However, compared with Zhou Ming's local tyrants, Sun Wei is very economical, although the people under him are also graduates of prestigious schools, but they are all fresh graduates with lower salaries.

At this moment, these people were all around Sun Wei, seeing that Sun Wei was a little stunned, he couldn't help but ask anxiously, maybe the futures market is not as active as securities, but under the influence of the news, it is difficult to say, which makes them not anxious.

Faced with the inquiries of his subordinates, Sun Wei came back to his senses, and he replied: "Brighton said that we want to continue to place sell orders, and we will add another million lots." ”

Sun Wei's answer surprised everyone: "What? Not only will they continue to place sell orders, but they will also add another million lots, are the gentlemen over there in Brighton crazy? Or did they not read this morning's news, and the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait have already collapsed! Crude oil prices will inevitably be affected, whether it is Middle Eastern crude oil, Brent crude oil, or even Mexican crude oil!"

The deputy brought by Sun Wei from Hong Kong City asked him: "Mr. Sun, who made the decision? Is it Chairman Lin, Mr. Tong Gang and Mr. Li Cheng, or is it Zhou Ming, a mainlander who came out of nowhere?"

"It's that mainlander Zhou Ming. Sun Wei replied.

This answer made the people around him show such expressions, especially his deputy said: "I just said that how could a person as shrewd as Chairman Lin make such a decision? Only those people in the mainland who don't understand anything will say this, he won't play futures like stocks, right? Mr. Sun, if we ignore him, let's place an order, otherwise we will continue to lose." ”

Everyone else also chimed in: "That's right, Mr. Sun, we are all Chairman Lin's people, why should we listen to a mainlander? ”

Sun Wei shook his head and said, "No, this is also Chairman Lin's decision." ”

These words made everyone stunned, and everyone said one by one: "How can this be? How could Chairman Lin make such a decision? Otherwise, Mr. Sun, we would still place an order, right? Anyway, we will not accept the life of the monarch outside, and we are also for the company's consideration, otherwise the mainland Yankees can pat their butts and leave, and we still have to stay in the company to carry the black pot!"

In the face of everyone's suggestions, Sun Wei waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, don't say it again, just do what Chairman Lin said, we have to believe Chairman Lin!"

After speaking, Sun Wei got up from his chair, walked down the trading hall and said loudly: "I want to sell a million contracts, is there anyone who wants to buy them?"

Sun Wei's words were like throwing a piece of beef in the Amazon River, and the traders in the trading hall immediately pounced in droves like piranhas smelling blood, and stretched out their hands to Sun Wei, and English with various accents filled Sun Wei's eardrums.

"Chinese, I am a trader at Wright Investment, I can buy your contract, I can buy 500,000 lots!"

"Chinese, I am a trader invested by Chase Bank, I can buy all your contracts, even if you have to add another million lots, I can buy any crude oil!"

"Chinese, the price I offer must be the highest, you and I trade, it is guaranteed to be the fastest and most convenient ......"

Looking at the countless hands stretched out in front of him, Sun Wei finally chose an investment company that he was more familiar with, and everyone else left disappointed.

"Sun, I'm curious, now that the whole trading floor is buying crude oil futures contracts, why do you still choose to sell? And it's not the first time you've sold it, haven't you seen the news in the morning? If something happens in the Middle East and the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait break down, the market will definitely worry about whether the crude oil production is stable, so the future price increase will be certain. Unless, of course, you want to hedge, but IMHO, it's completely impossible for you to have a million hands, even if you add another million or five million hands. ”

Because he was familiar with the investment company and trader, the trader was waiting for Sun Wei's sell order, and at the same time kindly told him, because in his opinion, Sun Wei's behavior was undoubtedly very stupid.

Listening to the other party's suggestion, Sun Wei could only smile bitterly: "I can't help it, it's all a decision from above." ”

"I see, it seems that your boss got some other news that we don't know, but it's a pity that you are not the head of the Arab League, but thank you for choosing me, the million sell orders you placed should allow me to draw a lot of commissions. ”

The trader said to Sun Wei with a smile, and deliberately waved the documents in his hand, which made Sun Wei very unhappy, but soon he couldn't laugh, because as soon as he officially placed an order, someone immediately walked down the trading hall and shouted the same as Sun Wei: "We want to place a sell contract for crude oil futures, the Middle East, Brent or Mexico, is there anything to buy?"

Sun Wei had just walked back to his place at this time, and he and his entire team were very depressed, but when he heard the shout of someone placing another order, he immediately stood up, and he vaguely felt that something was about to happen.

He looked at the trading hall, and as he had just been, the shouting trader was quickly surrounded by traders from other companies who wanted to buy his futures contracts.

The trader here had just made his choice, and someone on the other side of the trading room shouted the same thing: "I want to place a sell contract for crude oil futures!"

Almost at the same time, someone in the trading hall shouted one after another: "I also want to place a sell contract for crude oil futures!"

It is said that the first person placed a sell order can be said to be an accident, and the second and third can be said to be a coincidence, but what if there is a fourth, fifth, and sixth one? Even a fool can see that something is wrong.

So when the tenth person shouted out to place a sell order, all the traders in the trading hall stopped blindly rushing up and began to communicate with their respective supervisors.

"Mr. Sun, could it really be that something is wrong with the market? But didn't the news in the Middle East not long ago just say that the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait broke down? It's about 6 to 7 p.m. Middle East time, and even if the talks are restarted, it should be tomorrow, right?"

Sun Wei's subordinates each told their doubts, but Sun Wei didn't answer, he just stared at all this, and then he suddenly remembered something and looked back at the market.

Now the price of light crude oil is still at $16.88 per barrel, and the price of heavy crude oil is also at $15.45 per barrel, but it seems to have been affected by the sell-off in the trading hall, only a few minutes later, the price of both crude oil fell to $16.83 and $15.42 per barrel, although the decline was small, but it also made Sun Wei's team ecstatic, because after all, this is a fall, they bought right, right?

"It's falling, Mr. Sun's two crude oil futures prices have really fallen, not only Middle Eastern crude oil, but also Brent and Mexico and domestic crude oil prices have fallen, which is really incredible!"

The voice of Sun Wei's team surrounded Sun Wei's ears, but he still did not speak, because this scene evoked his memories.

Thinking about it three years ago, it seems that something very similar happened, it was still in Hong Kong City, when he was still a small broker in a futures company, and Zhou Ming was just a mainlander who didn't know anything at that time, he came to Hong Kong City with money to buy stock index futures, and he was his agent at that time.

Sun Wei still remembers that Zhou Ming was also going to place a sell order at the best time in the Hong Kong stock market, thinking that the Hong Kong stock index would plummet like jumping off a building, and he laughed at him for being an idiot at that time, but that night, the U.S. stock market collapsed inexplicably, which directly affected the Hong Kong stock market the next day, and the Hong Kong stock market also collapsed, as if there was a providence in the dark.

Today's situation is really similar to that time, they are all the same impossible, they are all the same not favored, they are all the same ridiculed, and the final result is the same as being overturned.

This made Sun Wei suddenly sound a word he saw in the novel: the chosen son.

It is the one chosen by God, otherwise if it were not for this, how could he have said what he said? And the most important thing is that he can always break through people's thinking, and in the end fate will always fall in his favor.

Or is his vision different, always seeing what others can't?

Sun Wei doesn't know, or both, but no matter what, Zhou Ming must be a very remarkable person, when Zhou Ming asked him to join him, he still felt that Zhou Ming was deliberately humiliating him, but now he understands that Zhou Ming is a truly great person, and only such a person can create miracles.

When Sun Wei thought so, his deputy reminded him: "Mr. Sun, you see that the person just now is here!"

Sun Wei came back to his senses at this time, and saw the trader who had just taken his sell order not far away came over again, and he asked: "Hey, Chinese Sun, this is incredible, you are a genius, how do you know that the price will fall, who told you the news?"

Faced with this question, Sun Wei replied very proudly: "It was my boss who told me the news, his name is Zhou Ming!"
