0151 International Crude Oil Market
"Okay, okay, everyone, don't make trouble, Uncle Lu is here, don't make trouble. Qiao Dahua saw that they recognized their relatives and taught martial arts, and they didn't have fun chatting, so he hurriedly shouted to stop.
At this time, sitting in the middle position, the old man with kind eyebrows and fairy bones bowed slightly, "The two offspring are good." ”
"Tianyu, Ke Ying, call Lu Ye quickly!" Qiao Dahua hurriedly beckoned them to call people.
"Hello Master Lu!" Seeing that Qiao Dahua respected the old man so much, Qiao Tianyu and the little chubby face didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly called someone.
"Okay!good!good!" that Lu Ye bowed his head again, and then looked at Chen Honglie and Cui Laosan.
"Hong Lie, Xiaosan, I'm old, I can't sit for long, let's get down to business first, and when I'm done, I'll leave, and then you can continue to play, okay?"
Serious business?
Qiao Tianyu was shocked, it seemed that the heads of the four major families were prepared today.
"Listen to Uncle Lu's orders. ”
Chen Honglie and Cui Laosan hurriedly sat back in their places and stopped playing, while Qiao Dahua also hurriedly beckoned Qiao Tianyu and Little Fat Face to find a seat and sit down.
It seems that this Lu Ye has the longest generation among the heads of the four major families, and his speech is also the most weighty.
"Okay, today our four major families of Qiaocui, Chen and Lu have gathered, so let's get down to business!" Lu Ye took a sip of tea and continued.
"First of all, according to the agreement of the four major families when the Fuxing Society was founded, after the emergence of successors to the four major families, the heads of each family must cede the position of head to the young man within three years. ”
"Now that the successors of the Qiao family and the Cui family have appeared, Dahua, Xiaosan, you also have to start the abdication procedure as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, no problem!" As soon as Lu Ye's words fell, Qiao Dahua took the lead in expressing his support.
"I'm okay!" Cui Laosan was not far behind, and immediately said.
"Give way?" But hearing this word, Qiao Tianyu was still taken aback.
I didn't expect the Fuxing Society to have this regulation, Qiao Tianyu has never had the heart of "usurping the throne", besides, now that Qiao Dahua and Cui Laosan are in the prime of life, and they are sitting on huge assets, how can they say let go?
"Master Lu, I'm afraid this is not good......"
Qiao Tianyu felt that something was wrong, he didn't want Qiao Dahua and the others to think that they came to Dubai to fight for power and profit, so he hurriedly stopped it.
"Rude! Rules are rules, not whether you want to or not!"
However, before Qiao Tianyu's words were finished, Lu Ye suddenly changed his kind eyebrows just now, and scolded sharply, so frightened that Qiao Dahua hurriedly pulled Qiao Tianyu and signaled not to let him speak.
"Let's talk about the second thing, cough cough ......" Lu Ye coughed lightly twice and picked up the teacup, and Qiao Dahua looked at it very much and quickly took over the conversation.
"Tianyu, that's right. Qiao Dahua hurriedly said, "On the way here just now, you also saw that such a large oil storage tank farm is the industry of our four major families, and the total reserves can rank among the top three in the world!"
"Uh-huh, it's shocking. After being scolded just now, Qiao Tianyu was a lot more careful when he spoke.
"But lately, I've had some problems. Qiao Dahua continued, "You should know that the business of oil storage is to buy and save when the price is low, and then sell it when the price is high to earn the profit difference." ”
"But this business is also risky, after all, we need at least $80 billion to fill all the tanks on a scale like ours, and we certainly don't have that much spare money in our hands, so the money used to store crude oil is to borrow from international banking groups or institutional investors. ”
"But the loan requires interest, and the interest rate is not low, so the cost of our oil storage is very high, which requires that there must be a time limit for crude oil storage, the longer the storage, the higher the cost, and when the time is long to a certain time limit, it is a loss." ”
"Well, that's the truth!" Qiao Tianyu nodded seriously.
In fact, the business of oil storage is the same as the fact that investment institutions borrow money to speculate on stocks and foreign exchange, the cost is the interest on borrowed funds, the income is the profit of buying low and selling high, the cost is lower than the income, it makes money, and the cost is higher than the income, so it loses money, and the principle is the same.
This is also the most fundamental reason why in the international market, all countries regard the crude oil trading market as the most fundamental reason for the management of financial markets.
"On the way here, I mentioned to you that international oil prices have fallen sharply recently, from $23 a barrel a month ago to $12 a barrel now. Qiao Dahua then explained.
"Two months ago, because we misjudged the international oil price situation and mistakenly thought that oil prices would rise sharply in the near future, we borrowed $80 billion to fill all the storage tanks ahead of schedule. ”
"Who knew that oil prices fell off a cliff a month ago, and there was no upward trend in the near future, and these oils were completely in our hands, but the interest of a loan of 80 billion US dollars a day is more than 30 million US dollars, and we really can't afford it!"
"Tianyu, among the four major families, our Qiao family started with financial investment, and is the best at this one, and you have been in the limelight recently, and your trading ability is obvious to all. ”
"That's why the heads of the families thought of inviting you and asking you to help pull up international oil prices. Tianyu, do you understand what we mean?"
I'm going to rub it!
Uncle, you're kidding me, aren't you?
How easy is it to pull up international oil prices?
You must know that crude oil is the world's largest trading material, and in the international crude oil market, it is often hundreds of billions or trillions of transactions.
And there is also the well-known Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries OPEC that controls world oil prices, and even the United States has nothing to do with them!
Does this mean that if you pull it up, you pull it up?
Uncle, you better kill me!
Hearing Qiao Dahua's request, Qiao Tianyu even had the idea of dying, this is an impossible task at all!
If you want to let Qiao Tianyu manipulate the stock of which company, or even help a certain country maintain exchange rate stability, it is still Qiao Tianyunu's efforts to do it.
But what they are asking for is the international crude oil market calculated in trillions of dollars, and the concubines really can't do it!
Seeing Qiao Tianyu's helpless bitter face, Qiao Dahua patted Qiao Tianyu on the shoulder.
"Of course, Tianyu, we elders all know that this matter must be difficult for you, but don't worry, our four major families don't eat dry rice, and they will definitely not make it difficult for you to cook without rice, we still have a bit of a cannonball!"
"Oh, is it?" Hearing Qiao Dahua say that they still have cannonballs, he was about to take the opportunity to explore the family background of the four major families, "Elders, how much money can everyone come up with?"
