January 11th, the 21st of the lunar month.

Shen Hui flew from Nan'an to Beijing, and after arriving in Beijing, he was directly taken to the Beijing Hotel by the car sent by Li Changming, and had dinner with the upper leaders of the national team, and offered to cooperate with the national team in shorting March crude oil futures, and hoped to get national support.

The results were somewhat unexpected, and Director Hou said that the state could give some support, but he was not interested in shorting the March crude oil futures contract, believing that there were too many uncontrollable factors and too much risk.

Shen Hui was greatly disappointed, and it was not easy to ask clearly in person, so he sent Director Hou away, and then asked Li Changming: "Brother Li, the national team has always wanted to cooperate with Xinghai before, but now why is it holding back again, I don't understand it." ”

Li Changming said with a smile: "It's very understandable, when the risk exceeds the ability to bear, everyone will retreat, the national team must be stable, how can it take such a big risk, once it is planted, no one can afford this responsibility." ”

Shen Hui was stunned, then nodded and asked, "How much support can the state give me?"

Li Guangming said: "It depends on the specific situation, the country's voice in the international crude oil market is very small, and the support that can be given to you is very limited, I don't know much about these, but I am optimistic about you, Xinghai never seems to have missed it." ”

Shen Hui smiled bitterly, he didn't want to waste any more time in the capital, so he flew back to Shanghai the next day.

New York.

"Old friend, that damn thief is ready to steal again. ”

"You're not mistaken, we don't agree on anything, how could that cunning thief do it now. ”

"There must be no mistake, Xinghai has started to short. ”

"Well, we still have to look again, see the situation before making a decision. ”

"OK, there's still plenty of time anyway. ”

Shanghai.

Shen Hui rushed to the company and convened a meeting of the management first.

Starting from Wei Zongru, report the work at hand one by one.

Wei Zongru mainly reported on the situation of shorting crude oil futures contracts for March delivery, and so far, Xinghai has shorted 100,000 contracts on crude oil futures contracts delivered in March, and is still eating short orders.

At the moment, there is no reaction from the bulls, they are all scattered stragglers.

After listening to this, Shen Hui said: "Before the main force of the bulls does not appear, it will be done according to the proportion of 30% of the position." ”

Wei Zongru nodded and didn't say anything.

Chen Lijun mainly reported on the Spring Festival holiday arrangements and the preparation of medical supplies, according to the statutory holidays, each department left one person on duty, to give three times the overtime salary, the procurement of medical supplies is not ideal, so far only more than 100 million points have been purchased.

"Employees who work overtime three times may not be willing to work overtime, after all, there is only one Spring Festival, five times the overtime salary, and the holiday bonus for employees who work overtime during the Spring Festival will be increased by 10,000, and the three major investment departments responsible for crude oil futures trading should leave enough manpower. ”

Shen Hui confessed casually: "Hurry up the procurement of medical supplies, I said that regardless of the cost, don't buy those chest X-ray machines, CT machines or anything, and purchase more portable medical equipment such as thermometers and ventilators, as well as masks, how are there only 100,000, I think this thing will be of great use, as a key procurement, there is no upper limit, you can buy as much as you can." ”

Chen Lijun agreed, feeling a little helpless.

I feel that the boss is sick, and he is not lightly ill.

Is it necessary to make a new virus pneumonia like the end of the world is coming?

Do you think it is useful, and you can purchase unlimited quantities regardless of the cost?

Let's not talk about scientific decision-making.

Even if you're the boss, you can't be so willful!

Everyone thinks that the boss is sick, so they don't have the sexual interest to talk.

Just listen to what you say, wait for the results to come out, and see what the boss says.

There is nothing to say about finance, He Dongping finished reporting the financing situation, the heads of various departments picked important reports, Shen Hui said a few words to announce the end of the meeting, and called the executives to the office to explain a few things before reviewing the backlog of documents during this time.

When the secretary Zhang Xin came to deliver the documents, Shen Hui remembered that she seemed to be from Jing Xiang, so he said, "What are you going to do during the Spring Festival?"

Zhang Xin said: "Mr. Shen won't let me go back to Jingxiang, and I don't know what I can do." ”

Shen Hui asked, "Do you know the situation over there in Jingxiang?"

Zhang Xin said: "I understand, I don't think it's a big problem. ”

Shen Hui waved his hand to drive her away, but this thought couldn't be talked about at all.

Let's wait for the results!

Attend a cocktail party in the evening, and the next day is a variety of exchanges and symposiums, the Spring Festival is coming soon, there are more meetings and activities than before New Year's Day, and there are good multimedia I don't know where to hear the news, and there are a lot of interview appointments.

From the opening of Xinghai to the present, Shen Hui has received a lot of media appointments.

It's not that it's low-key in finance, but because it's different from what is in business, and industrialists are interviewed by the media because they need the media, either to expand their influence, or to enhance their popularity.

If CCTV invited him to be a guest and do an interview or something, maybe Shen Hui would think about it.

Forget about those website tabloids or something, how can you be in the mood to deal with it.

I sat in the office and took a photo, and then I was put on the Internet to blow a few words, and I felt so stupid to think about it.

I held meetings for several days in a row, participated in activities during the day and night, took time to participate in the analysis of a policy research center, listened to the strategic analysis of a group of researchers on shorting the March crude oil futures contract, and unified my thoughts with Wei Zongru.

The key point of success or failure is still the OPEC meeting.

There are too many factors that can affect the outcome of the OPEC meeting, and Wei Zongru believes that the north side is a breakthrough.

But now the main force of the bulls has not yet appeared, and even if they want to find allies, they don't know who to turn to.

Only by waiting for those predators to enter the field can we know who the enemy is and who are the allies who can be wooed.

Shen Hui thought about it and felt that there would be risks, but there was a great chance of success.

As long as you take advantage of various favorable factors, the yield of shorting the March crude oil contract this time should be large.

The capital giants in Europe and the United States have not yet taken action, and their movements are unknown for the time being.

It is estimated that the market will not be clear until the main contract expires in February.

The crude oil market has nothing for the time being, to the climax of the gold market, since the beginning of the month, the long and short sides of the day to kill the earth-shattering, London gold in January 10 for the first time rushed to the 1600 high, and then entered the adjustment period, the policy research center believes that the gold market is optimistic, and so the bulls after digesting the income, it is very likely to launch a second round of offensive.

Shen Hui agrees with this conclusion, but will not invest too much energy in the gold market for the time being.

It's okay to make a small order and drink some soup, and the key battlefield is the crude oil futures contract in March.

After the meeting, Wei Zongru followed Shen Hui to the office and once again stated his opinion: " The global market has always been the opponent of Wall Street, specific to crude oil futures, the hurt has always been us and Japan and South Korea and other oil demand countries, for Wall Street and oil-producing countries, oil prices have risen is good, oil prices have fallen nothing, it is completely possible to make profits through capital hedging, as far as the current global market is concerned, the rise in crude oil inventories is an objective fact, even if the OPEC meeting finally reached an agreement on production cuts, it is difficult to say how much good oil prices can be, and short crude oil I think is in line with Wall Street's consistent style. ”

Shen Hui said: "Do you think Wall Street will short crude oil?"

Wei Zongru was also not sure, and said: "This is just my opinion, I can't count it." ”

Shen Hui smiled and said: "I have the same opinion as you, I also think that Wall Street will short crude oil." ”

Wei Zongru said: "But if Xinghai enters, the result may change. ”

Shen Hui nodded: "It is true that this factor must be considered, plus the funds raised and my personal funds, this time we have prepared 40 billion funds to enter the market, it is strange that the wolves on Wall Street are not moved, what do you suggest?"

Wei Zongru said: "I recommend hedging to reduce risk, but when the market is clear, we will see the opportunity to move." ”

Shen Hui nodded, agreeing to his suggestion.

In the rush before the Spring Festival, the new coronavirus epidemic in Jingxiang continued to ferment, and the above finally spoke.

The supreme chief and the No. 2 chief personally issued instructions to deploy the epidemic prevention and control work, Jingxiang launched a second-level emergency response, and even the chief personally went to Seoul to inspect and guide the work, and condolences to the front-line prevention and control personnel, which seemed to be nervous all of a sudden.

However, the development of events has far exceeded the expectations of ordinary people.

On the 23rd, Shen Hui flew from Shanghai to Nan'an, preparing to go home for the New Year, and Seoul was urgently closed, and the people felt the seriousness of the situation for the first time.

From Shanghai to Qinghe, Shen Hui's phone calls never stopped.

The second generation called one after another to express their surprise and sit and watch the flowers bloom and fall.

Jingxiang's epidemic is far away from Ningxi, it has been peaceful for a long time, as long as the disaster does not befall him, no one will think that he will be unlucky, so everyone should still do what to do, and prepare for the New Year with joy.

When I returned to Qinghe, my home was already full of the smell of the New Year.

Shen Hui sat down for a meeting and went to comfort the security guard first.

Peng Weiguo has already taken his wife and daughter over, but his old parents did not come over and spent the New Year in his hometown.

Sun Yang went home for the New Year, and Wu Jie came to Qinghe.

Shen Hui gathered the security guards together, read the names one by one and handed out red envelopes, and only after handing out the red envelopes did he say: "Okay, everyone has worked hard in the past few months, have a happy New Year, take the family over and settle down after the Spring Festival, and they will be Qinghe people in the future." ”

A security guard smiled: "I have already told my parents that I will come over after the New Year." ”

"So much for the best. ”

Shen Hui nodded, and suddenly asked again, "Is there any Jingxiang?"

"I am!"

The security guard who spoke nodded hurriedly.

Shen Hui was stunned for a moment, and then asked the others: "Is there anything else?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Shen Huixin said that it was okay and asked the security guard: "Do you know about the new crown epidemic in Jingxiang?"

The security guard said: "I know, Seoul has been locked down, but my family is not from Seoul and is not restricted." ”

Shen Hui glanced at him a few times and waved his hand: "Don't come here for the time being, let's talk about it when the epidemic is over!"

The security guard felt that there was no problem, but he didn't dare to say more, so he could only say yes.

When he went home and talked to his father and mother about this, Shen Liguo was still a little unimpressed: "Ning Xi is fine, what a fuss!"

Shen Hui was very helpless, he felt that there was nothing wrong, and it would be too late when something happened.

However, Ningxi is remote, Qinghe is a small county, and after returning home, I feel much safer than staying in Shanghai, there should be no big problem, no matter how powerful the virus is, as long as the country really pays attention to it, it is not a big problem.
