1991 came like that, quietly.

People have to sigh that time flies so fast.

At the beginning of the new year, New York was enveloped in cold air, and snowflakes fell in the sky for several days.

The most comfortable thing to do is to stay in a warm room, turn the air conditioning to max, and then have a hot cup of coffee, or a pot of fragrant tea, and a few delicious pastries.

Like now.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, wearing only a cardigan and holding a small plate of chocolate mousse, Guo Yongkun looked down from the 19th floor to the snow-capped street.

"Xia Ying, do you dare to leave me a strawberry cake!"

Leah's voice of dissatisfaction came from the couch behind her.

Xia Ying, who also likes strawberry cakes, quickly took the last piece of cake that was about to be sent into Hongyan's little mouth and handed it to the other party, not forgetting to smile awkwardly.

In winter, the body always feels that it needs to replenish energy, and it is not enough to eat.

Of course, it is also because these pastries bought by Feng Jiawei are really delicious.

A group of people are also busy and enjoying afternoon tea, and Comrade Feng Jiawei, who was a guest, also has a good thing today, and several stocks in his hand rose again at the opening of the stock market in the morning, and he felt that he had reached a critical point, so he got rid of them all.

This alone netted nearly $100,000.

It's so enviable.

"Mr. Feng, when will you introduce me to two stocks? "Leah, for example, is greedy.

"It's okay to introduce, but no one dares to say that you can make 100% of the money in stocks, so don't look for me if you lose it." Feng Jiawei said with a smile.

"You can still pay for it. Leah hesitated for a moment.

"I'm not a god. Feng Jiawei shrugged and said: "But if you really want to buy, you have to wait for a while, not recently, the situation has been a bit unclear recently, I mainly play futures." ”

"What's the situation?" asked Leah.

"Gulf, haven't you watched the news, the aircraft carriers have sailed over, and I don't know if it's a bluff, or if you really want to start a war, if you really want to fight, the futures market, especially crude oil futures, will inevitably have huge shocks. ”

"Oil is rising?"

"Definitely. ”

"Then we should buy a lot of oil futures now!" Leah's eyes were bright, and she felt that she had insight into a way to get rich.

"yes, that's what everyone thinks, but I don't see a few people daring to do that. This is war, not child's play, how can it be easily done?

"In any case, I am inclined to the first one I have just mentioned, and the multinational coalition is supposed to be bluffing in order to force Iraq to withdraw its troops from Kuwait.

"As far as Iraq is concerned, in the face of such a battle, it will not be stubborn unless there is a hole in the brain, and it is estimated that it will obediently withdraw its troops. You must know that none of these countries participating in the war can compete with small Iraq. ”

Leah rolled her eyes and said, "So you said for a long time is equal to talking in vain?"

"Aren't I afraid of what if? In case of a real fight, so there is no need to wade this thunder, the first step of capital operation is to learn to avoid risks, and now there are risks in the futures market. ”

Leah sighed, as if she didn't understand.

At this time, Guo Yongkun, who was pestle by the window, had some thoughts after his ears fell into the conversation between the two.

Yes, 1991 was a turbulent year, and at the beginning of the new year, the first Gulf War was about to break out.

"Mr. Guo. At this time, Xia Ying asked, "When are we going back to China?"

Li Youyou, who was next to him, also pricked up his ears when he heard this.

Compared with Xia Ying, he can't wait to return to China, and within a few months of his new daughter-in-law marrying into the house, he ran out and didn't go back for so long, and he really missed it tightly.

In addition, he learns from international calls that his daughter-in-law, Fluttershy, is pregnant with a child.

So don't look at others still here, in fact, the heart has already flown back to China.

"Look at this day, you can't go back if you want to. Guo Yongkun turned around and shrugged helplessly.

He also wants to go home, the affairs of the United States have been dealt with, but God is not beautiful.

"It is said that it will snow for more than half a month. Xia Ying said weakly.

"Actually, you can fly. Feng Jiawei said: "This bit of snow actually doesn't affect anything, but the runway is slightly slippery, and the airlines are also avoiding risks." If you are really in a hurry, you can charter a plane, anyway, Mr. Guo is not short of this money. ”

"You're coming out?" Guo Yongkun squinted at him.

"When I didn't say it. Feng Jiawei quickly shut up.

"Jiawei. Guo Yongkun suddenly asked: "How much does it cost to buy an airplane?"

“...... Huh?"

Not to mention Feng Jiawei, everyone on the sofa was stunned when they heard this.

Okay, you can't afford to charter a plane, and you want to buy a plane as soon as you get it......

Guo Yongkun really wanted to think about it, because he didn't have it.

It is a person who has a pursuit, and at his current level, luxury cars and mansions beckon, it is no longer a pursuit, only things that have been envied and have not been able to achieve their wishes so far are the real pursuits.

For example, a special plane, a mobile palace.

It is also necessary, after all, he often runs all over the world, and every time he takes a plane, it takes a lot of time to buy a ticket in advance, catch a plane, and wait for a plane.

People are also tired.

It's a different story if you have your own plane.

"That'...... The slightly higher-grade ones, the ones with high range, can take off after all the formalities are completed, at least two or three hundred million. Feng Jiawei said uncertainly.

After all, who has nothing to pay attention to this.

Ordinary people don't dare to think about it even after drinking a few dishes.

"Mr. Guo, you spent so much money to buy the Donald Group, and you still have the money to buy a plane?" Leah was dumbfounded.

"It's gone. Guo Yongkun spread his hands and said.

He really didn't have that many dollars in reserve.

"But can't you make money without money?"

“......”

Don't talk about Leah now, everyone is dumbfounded.

How can you make three or two hundred million dollars, and it is as easy as making three or two hundred dollars from your mouth?

"Jiawei, you can help inquire about the plane, it must be safe and reliable, luxurious and comfortable, and I will find a way to make money recently. ”

“...... Oh. Feng Jiawei didn't know what to say for a while.

Can you not be so sloppy and want to come out as soon as you want to come out!

This is buying an airplane, hey, not buying a bicycle, can you think twice?

Guo Yongkun didn't know what he was thinking, what was there to think about, he had a private jet, and then he had a party on it, and the fat and thin beauties hugged him left and right, but he had a dream for two lifetimes.

Haven't you been thinking long enough?

After a few guys had eaten and drunk, Guo Yongkun sent them away, turned around and went to Hong Kong City to talk on the phone.

"Qiao Yue?"

"It's me, brother, are you still in the United States?"

"Hmm. ”

After chatting with Qiao Yue's sister for a few minutes, Guo Yongkun turned to the topic.

"I still have nearly 100 million US dollars in cash in my Swiss bank, you take out this money and go to Goldman Sachs to find Lu Xiwen, I want to buy international crude oil futures...... When the specific details are over, you ask Lu Xiwen to call me, and I will discuss them with him in detail. ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and Qiao Yue's sister was probably stunned.

"Brother, are you still playing futures?"

You didn't know where your brother was when he was in the stock market.

Guo Yongkun replied: "It's relatively little, a little inside information, make some foreign exchange spending, you should already know that you just bought a real estate group, and the foreign exchange reserves are about to be emptied." You do as I say. ”

"Okay. ”

That night, Guo Yongkun received a call from Lu Xiwen.

The other party was also excited.

It's been a few years, and the stock god finally shot again.

You must know that he has come to the door more than once in the past to beg, but he has not begged him to help.

Intuition told Lu Xiwen that this time was another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he missed it, he didn't know when it would be next time.

In the stock market crash in 1987, the stock god made his first move, which amazed the stock market, and his immediate boss at that time also made a successful contribution and was promoted to the headquarters of Wall Street in the United States.

And this time, the Port City branch is in charge of him.

He had to take his chances.

The two talked from half past nine in the evening until close to 12 o'clock.

This is what they, ordinary people, have to be scared half to death just because of this international long-distance phone bill.

......

As the days passed, the tense atmosphere of the situation in the Gulf affected the hearts of the whole world.

Of course, as an ordinary person, most of them are still lively.

Like Feng Jiawei, 99.9% of those who are concerned about this matter believe that this battle cannot be fought.

After all, just think about it, what are you kidding, the alliance forces of as many as 34 countries of the United States, Britain and France are pressing the border, and Iraq does not dare to be tough after eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts!

This is logical, normal thinking.

However, they clearly underestimated the extent of Iraq's head iron.

On January 14, 1991, the US-led multinational forces bombarded the thousand-year-old city of Baghdad, and the Gulf War broke out.

The whole world is amazed!

The war lasted for 44 days, a full month and a half.

The multinational force flew nearly 100,000 sorties, dropped 90,000 tons of bombs, launched 288 Tomahawk cruise missiles and 35 air-launched cruise missiles, and used a series of state-of-the-art aircraft and various precision-guided weapons to carry out multi-directional, multi-wave, and high-intensity sustained air strikes on selected targets.

In short, Iraq was crippled.

In these 44 days, the Gulf region was within the scope of the battlefield, all shipping routes were cut off, and not a single drop of crude oil from the Gulf region was shipped.

The supply was cut off.

Moreover, after the war, it was devastated that it was difficult to guarantee that there were any remnants of warheads that did not detonate, and it would take a lot of time to clean up the battlefield.

Then it is not difficult to imagine the volatility of the international crude oil market.

From the first shell hit Baghdad on January 17, international crude oil futures have been rising, and as of February 28, when the two sides reached an armistice agreement and the Gulf War ended, they continued to rise.

Of course, Guo Yongkun was already in China at this time.

Rejoice in the New Year.

In this wave, he used the existing reserves of 100 million US dollars, plus some assets of the port city as collateral, and raised 400 million US dollars from banks through Goldman Sachs, a total of 500 million US dollars, which was distributed in the world's four major crude oil futures markets.

It's a real deal.

However, because it is an ordinary regular trading mode and does not use leverage, the income ratio is not as good as that in 1987.

International crude oil futures rose by nearly two-thirds during this period, so he earned two-thirds, about $340 million.

Not to mention buying an airplane, you can buy a fighter jet.

Feng Jiawei has already got this information, and the most advanced private jet in the world is the Airbus A320 special edition produced by the European Airbus company in France, and the price is less than 100 million US dollars.

All on the road, it is estimated that it will only be more than 100 million US dollars.

However, this version of the aircraft needs to be customized.

That is to say, you have to pay a deposit first, and then the other party will do it for you. In addition, customers can choose from a variety of customized services – it is true that the interior of the aircraft can be transformed into a palace.

What's more fucked up is that the customization cycle takes two years, do you say it's worrying?

Guo Yongkun inquired about Boeing and Liuwan Company later, and they were also bird-like.

So there was no way, so I had to let Feng Jiawei pay a deposit of 50 million US dollars first, and also chose a few customized services for them to build slowly.
