Chapter 887: Two Iraq and Oil
After listening to Song Yang read the first thing, everyone fell into deep thought, thinking about how to start.
Salomon Brothers is not publicly listed, so many of the commonly used acquisition methods are not used at all, and the acquisition will be more difficult.
But for this matter, they all support it from the bottom of their hearts.
Philip Brothers, despite being badly damaged, is still the top company on Wall Street.
The company's employees are all still there, with the support of the Galaxy Fund, although the strength of the Philip Brothers company has been weakened, but it is still the leader of the futures market, although the halo of the leader has faded a lot.
Salomon Brothers, which was previously Wall Street's leading financial firm, has been badly damaged, but the framework for growth is still there.
If Philip Brothers can wholly acquire Salomon Brothers, the combination of the two will definitely be among the top ten investment banks on Wall Street, although it cannot be squeezed into the top five investment banks.
If the Galaxy Fund owns a company in the top ten investment banks on Wall Street, it will play an extremely strong role in boosting the development of the Galaxy Fund.
Galaxy Fund is not short of funds, relying on the contacts and resources accumulated by the two companies for sixty or seventy years, the shackles of development can be easily untied.
The benefits are obvious!
It's just that how to make a wholly-owned merger and acquisition has become a problem.
Xia Yu smiled lightly, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and said lightly: "This matter, which of you is willing to volunteer?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Xue He gritted his teeth and stood up, and said loudly: "Boss, I'm willing to give it a try!"
Xia Yu said with interest: "What are you going to do?"
Xue He took a deep breath and sorted out his thoughts a little, and said slowly: "Salomon Brothers Company is a partnership company, and the major shareholders are all Jews, according to the current price fluctuation situation of high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures, it must be resolved quickly, and the longer the time drags on, even if the greedy Jews are willing to sell their shares, they will open their mouths." ”
"It's just that we have now left the advanced copper futures and aluminum futures markets, and our ability to interfere with the prices of these two futures is very weak, and we can no longer coerce Salomon Brothers to bow down from the futures market. ”
"So my plan was to spend money on time and at the same time get Goldman Sachs to help us with the merger and use Goldman Sachs' influence among Jews. ”
"We can sign a VAM agreement with Goldman Sachs, with one month as the boundary, set a starting purchase price, the shorter the acquisition time, the more equity acquired, the higher the commission ratio, if we can't complete a certain task, Goldman Sachs needs to pay us a certain amount of liquidated damages, in order to urge Goldman Sachs to go all out. ”
"On the other hand, it is for the New York Chemical Bank to take the lead, and with their influence on Wall Street, resource swapping can also play a role. ”
After speaking, Xue He looked at Xia Yu tightly, and his breath was unconsciously held.
Xia Yu said appreciatively: "Yes, your thinking is very clear, and you also have strong execution, then this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, and the plan will be made to me as soon as possible, don't let me down." ”
Xue He was shocked, smiled, and replied loudly: "Yes, I will not let you down!"
Xia Yu bowed slightly, and said again: "Then the next thing is the second thing, you should also have some guesses." ”
"Song Yang, tell everyone about the situation. ”
As soon as the words fell, Song Yang once again performed his duties and read out to everyone: "As of today, the price of oil futures in New York has reached $26.2 a barrel, and after using leverage, we have invested a total of $5.76 billion in long oil futures, and currently hold a total of 267,800 contracts of oil futures, with a total value of $7.116 billion. ”
"In other words, we are currently long oil futures, and the floating profit has reached $1.256 billion. ”
"Within half a month, the peak daily trading volume of oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange was 52,130 lots. ”
Hearing this, everyone had a general impression in their hearts.
The total amount of oil futures held by the Galaxy Fund is equivalent to more than five times the daily trading volume of U.S. oil futures.
However, considering that these oil futures have been bought and accumulated since last year, in fact, for the oil futures market with a daily trading volume of more than 50,000 lots, that is, more than 50 million barrels, and a daily trading volume of more than one billion US dollars, the impact is large, but it is not too appalling.
Overall, a heavyweight bookmaker.
After introducing the situation in the New York oil futures market, Song Yang changed his conversation and talked about the situation in the Middle East, and the other executives who had already been distracted focused again.
"According to the latest information provided by the boss, Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz has obtained the support of the United States, and secretly left the United States in the early hours of this morning, according to speculation, Iraq has obtained the diplomatic support of the two hegemons, this time Aziz will go back, Iraq will lose concerns, considering the religious and territorial disputes between Iran and Iraq, there is a high probability of military conflict between Iran and Iraq in the near future, and even further trigger a war......
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and their brains also worked quickly, analyzing what kind of impact all this would have if it really happened.
As the two major oil exporters in the Middle East, once the two Irans fight, then Iran will definitely not let Iraq's oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and once the conflict intensifies, the oil supply of the entire Middle East will also be sharply reduced.
At that time, the international crude oil price will definitely soar, which means that the harvest season of the Galaxy Fund is coming!
By then, how far will the price of oil futures rise?
Thirty dollars a barrel?
Thirty-five dollars a barrel?
Or forty dollars a barrel?
Will the profits be two billion dollars, three billion dollars, or four or five billion dollars?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but get excited.
As for the word "high probability" mentioned by Song Yang, they directly ignored it.
Although they have been with their boss Xia Yu for more than a year, they are impressed by the boss's international vision and overall situation.
In their eyes, the boss can definitely be called a god of strategy, and he has never missed a judgment of the international situation.
If not, how could Galaxy Fund have grown so rapidly?
How can the Jiuding consortium rise brazenly?
The boss has been laying out oil futures since last year, and now that Song Yang has read out the judgment on the situation in the Middle East, it is obvious that it is time to harvest, and there is no need to doubt it!
After Song Yang finished speaking, Xia Yu added again: "The reason why we judge that there will be a conflict in the near future is that there are many considerations, Iraq has obtained the support of the Red Soviet Union (small life is important, it can only be written like this) last year, but it has not received the support of the United States, but Iran Khomeini has died, and the Americans have not been released until now." “
"Jimmy Carter is currently in a precarious election situation, and he is already making a last-ditch effort to put pressure on Iran with support for Iraq, trying to get Iran to release the hostages, in order to prove his iron will and decisiveness, and try to save the hostages to save his prestige, so Jimmy Carter will not allow time to drag on for too long. ”
"On the other hand, Iran, in the face of continuous internal turmoil, still exports revolution to Iraq, and Iraq has rearmed its army with the help of the Red Soviet Union since the end of last year, and has also made preliminary preparations. ”
"The United States has already sent Dongfeng out in the early hours of this morning, so from many perspectives, this war is almost inevitable. ”
As soon as Xia Yu said this, everyone suddenly felt enlightened, this logic made perfect sense, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it made sense.
One of the executives, Tang Yong, immediately asked, "Boss, does this mean that the war is about to start in September?"
Xia Yu bowed slightly, and said indifferently: "According to my estimate, it should be in mid to late September." ”
"Boss, don't we need to hide and buy a large amount of oil futures contracts?"
Tang Yong asked again, looking at the boss Xia Yu with burning eyes.
