After the conversation with Song Wencong and the four of them ended, Hu Wenhai ordered to put off all the rest of the work and locked himself in the room alone for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the career Hu Wenhai wanted to do, he once thought that he could no longer worry about money.

But it turns out that no amount of money will have enough time for the cause he wants to do. And in the case of tight funds, it is very likely that the historical opportunity is fleeting.

At the end of the day, he doesn't have enough money.

If he has enough funds, he can blossom in many ways. Aviation development research should be carried out, lithography machines should be carried out, McDonnell Douglas should be acquired, regional passenger planes and even trunk passenger planes should be carried out, large aircraft should be carried out, and shield ships should also be carried out. If you have money, do you want to do it? Do you want to do it with CPU and GPU? Do you want to do it with memory? Do you want to do it with cars, do you want to do it with batteries, do you want to do it with high-speed rail?

If you have enough money in hand, what can't these projects do in the 90s?

In the final analysis, all China's problems can be boiled down to one problem, that is, there is no money.

This amount of capital is not something that Hu Wenhai alone or a company can provide.

What it needs is the change that the whole of China, all Chinese, can bring about together.

But no matter what, Jiang Hefu came to the door at this time and brought a huge touch to Hu Wenhai.

It's only 5 billion yuan, Hu Wenhai actually wants to throw out a check in a chic way, so that Jiang Hefu can have no worries. The Taihang B will be developed at the fastest speed, so that the future J-10 and domestic Su-27 series can smoothly use the "Chinese heart".

It's a pity that Jiang Hefu came at a bad time, and Hu Wenhai's next action requires a lot of money. While oil futures speculation before the Gulf War could make a profit, no amount of money would ever be enough compared to a move like the McDonnell Douglas acquisition.

Hu Wenhai, who spends money lavishly, also had to tighten the flow of funds in his hands when faced with the acquisition of McDonnell Douglas, and was ready to strike an all-out blow.

Fortunately, the feast of oil futures did not make people wait for a long time, and just after the Asian Games, the international oil market suddenly blew a bloody storm.

"Intensify the efforts to release goods, and before today, we must clear all the inventory of the 9012 issue in our hands. ”

The closing ceremony of the Asian Games in October had just ended, and China, which had tasted the sweetness of hosting large-scale international events, simply reorganized the Asian Games Organizing Committee into an Olympic Committee on the spot to be responsible for the application for the Imperial Olympic Games.

However, in the context of the turmoil of the Gulf War, this news did not attract much international attention, because almost everyone's eyes were already focused on the desert with war clouds.

With the commander of the US Central Headquarters, Admiral Schwarzkopf, becoming the supreme commander-in-chief of the coalition forces -- nominally Saudi Lieutenant General Khalid has the same rights as Schwarzkopf, but in reality no one takes him seriously. There was only one real commander of the 700,000 allied army, and that was the American Schwarzkopf.

Four-star Admiral Schwarzkopf was born into a military family, and his father helped the Pahlavi dynasty to take power in Iran and helped the king establish the secret police organization Savak. From then on, the Schwarzkopf family became the guests of honor of the Pahlavi dynasty until they lost power in Iran.

And Schwarzkopf himself did not disgrace the legendary father, after graduating from West Point, he went all the way from the second lieutenant platoon commander of the 101st Airborne Division to become a major in only ten years. During the Vietnam War, Schwarzkopf showed the courage of a red neck and survived the terrible jungle until the end of the war. Since then, his career has been smooth sailing, serving as the commander of the infantry brigade, the deputy director of the planning department of the Pacific Command, the deputy commander of the 8th Mechanized Infantry Division, and the commander of the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division.

In 1983, during the US invasion of Grenada, he held the position of deputy commander, and by 1986 Schwarzkopf was already a lieutenant general of the US First Army!

From this long list of resumes, it can be seen that this red-necked old white man with a square face is a powerful figure widely recognized by the internal forces of the US military. With him to coordinate and direct the actions of the coalition forces, he will certainly be able to command him like an arm.

The U.S. military on the frontal battlefield is still accumulating strength, and countless supplies and troops from all over the world have converged to the small Gulf region. The density of aircraft, tanks and warships in the Gulf region has long been the highest in the world.

But the elder Bush was not satisfied with this, and still seemed to be endlessly transporting more resources. Schwarzkopf's hand is getting better and better, but he is not complacent, but is ready to fight the lion and the rabbit with all his might.

Although there is no smoke of gunfire in the desert, the war has already caused countless tragedies and bloodsheds.

The financial war that unfolds around the oil market is actually even more powerful than guns, and it is more brutal and bloody.

"Mr. Hu, the contract of the London Petroleum Futures Exchange 9012 has just risen by 0.4 cents......"

When Chen Fa said this, he looked at Hu Wenhai with a rather "complaining" gaze.

For Hu Wenhai to be in such a hurry to clear out the bulls in his hands, there are no different opinions in the trading team. You must know that with the scale of their operation, for every 0.1 cent rise in oil futures, the profit involved is calculated in "hundreds of millions of dollars".

For the US Government, the Gulf War was indeed a matter of money. But for international oil futures speculators, it is a rare feast.

Since the beginning of Operation Desert Shield, after the US military entered Saudi Arabia to assist in the defense, international oil futures began to soar at the speed of helicopters. By October 1990, the price of oil had risen to around $28.

All the oil futures speculators in this feast, as long as they have a little brain, they are full of brains.

At present, the mainstream mentality in the market naturally believes that there are still about three or four months before the US military starts the war, and there will inevitably be huge room for oil prices to rise.

However, Hu Wenhai knew that Bush would soon announce that he would use US oil reserves to enter the market and intervene in oil prices. At that time, all energy companies will unanimously decide to suppress oil prices under pressure from the United States.

The feast of oil futures speculators will come to an abrupt end when most people did not expect it.

How fast the price of oil rises now, it will only fall faster when the time comes.

With the scale of funds in the hands of Chen Fa and Fang Jiange's two teams, it would be too late to leave the scene at that time. In order to ensure the safety of funds and profits, it is an absolutely unchallengeable criterion to complete this round of trading in advance.

Hu Wenhai shook his head firmly, and categorically stopped Chen Fa's complaints: "No matter how much the price of oil rises in the future, my decision will not change." All transactions must be completed before today's market closes. When making financial transactions, you must make it clear that only the profits that fall into your pocket are the real profits. We have enough gains now that there is no need to take more risks for more benefits. ”

"Yes, we will complete all the transactions before the market closes today. ”

Chen Fa and the main traders of the trader team below nodded helplessly, and the work efficiency in their hands increased a lot.

Although the 1987 crash in the U.S. stock market was caused by computer network problems, the enthusiasm for the use of computers in securities trading was not affected. Now all he needs is a computer and a phone line, and Hu Wenhai can control all transactions in the City of London remotely, even in the imperial capital.

Of course, in the futures exchange of the City of London, there is not only one telephone line that carries out Hu Wenhai's will.

Fang Jiange stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the London Futures Exchange, looking down at the bustling trading floor. At his feet, ant-like futures traders gathered around the circular couch in the center of the hall, constantly discovering the prices of all the major commodities that kept the entire human planet afloat through the phone calls and arguing.

Among them, the price of oil futures is undoubtedly the most important indicator.

On the circular sofa on the trading floor, Mr. Davis, the chief trader of ST Group, had just put away the pager in his hand.

He stood up from the couch worth two million dollars, and the eyes of almost all the trading members in the circle were immediately focused on him.

The world's most expensive sofa represents a trading position on the London International Petroleum Futures Exchange. To call them by a colloquial name, that is "market maker" in the futures market. Only the world's top financial speculators are qualified to sit it under their butts.

Mr. Davis is known as Mr. One Percent in the oil futures market in the City of London. This nickname is not in vain, but because he once controlled 1% of the entire oil futures market!! (MISSING) share of the MISSING.

And now Mr. Davis, his nickname is likely to face another refresh.

Mr. Two Percent, that's certainly more satisfying than Mr. One Percent, right?

But of course, there are certainly many people in the brutal battlefield of the London Petroleum Exchange who will not like this new title of Mr. Davis.

ST Group and Grumman have held oil bulls for a long time, and they were able to keep secrets in the early stages. But after investing tens of billions of dollars, no matter how stealthy the action is, it is like a firefly in the night.

As a representative of the two newcomers in the energy market, Xinke and Grumman, whether Davis can win the title of "Mr. 2 Percent" depends on his performance today.

Davis stood up, clenched his hands into fists and placed them on the back of his head. The meaning of this gesture is very simple, the position of the gesture represents the magnitude, the chin is a single digit, the nose is a few digits, the forehead is a hundred, and the back of the head is a thousand digits.

At this time, everyone in the entire exchange hall listened to his voice with bated breath: "Xinke Group, sell 5,000 lots of 9012 oil futures at 27.99." ”

The war began.
