James Edison was George H.W. Bush -- oh, in 1990, Mr. Bush, Mr. Bush, not Mr. Bush Sr. President Bush and James Edison were political partners with whom www.biquge.info had a deep friendship and contributed a lot to Bush's presidential campaign, so he served as secretary of state in the Bush administration for four years, and it can be said that he was highly trusted.

Just after the US military Hyfji was frustrated and the US ambassador to the United Nations announced the suspension of the vote on Resolution 678, the vast majority of people in the world did not expect that James Edison would be the first to visit China.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the distance between China and the Gulf region is too far away.

Although he is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, the Chinese ambassador most often abstains from voting, and as long as it has nothing to do with China, he is basically a little transparent in international affairs.

Why was US Secretary of State James Edison the first to visit such a country with little presence?

All the media outlets around the world have given a variety of explanations for this, but none of them are true.

Some people say that James Edison wanted to know the technical data of China's Type 69 tank; some people believe that the Chinese side is very likely to have important technical information about Iraq, after all, Iraq's current battlefield information system is provided by the Chinese side; and some people swear that the Americans, in the face of the Iraqi army, which has strong combat effectiveness, hope to borrow troops from China and drown the Iraqi army with the largest number of troops in the world!

Well, in fact, this last possibility is not surprising. In the face of the rise of ISIS on the Internet in later generations, some people have come up with the idea that the EU will pay for it, the United States will provide weapons and equipment, and hire a division of North Korean troops, which can defeat ISIS in a month......

Compared with this kind of brainstorm, the United States asked China to borrow troops to fight the Iraq War, well, it's not impossible, right?

But in reality, anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on. It's just that there are some things that you should never say to ordinary people.

The fact is, the Americans can't hold back. If China is really allowed to smash down its 100 billion empty orders, then the United States is basically working for China in the Gulf War, and it will only lose money and will not even be able to find its pants.

In fact, well-informed people in the financial industry know that James Edison urgently flew to China in the hope of convincing the Chinese side to let Wall Street go.

In the early stage, most of Hu Wenhai's orders were harvested by the heads of the European and Japanese Energy Group. However, with the rise in oil prices, the expected price of many investment institutions has been reached.

Wall Street was determined that Hu Wenhai would blow up his position, so the main force of the bet changed from Euro-Japanese Capital to Wall Street.

Most of the oil futures in the hands of Euro and Japanese Capital were only sold once, and then they were acquired by American capital, and finally lent back to Dazhong Bank to be shorted by Xinke Investment. After such a few turnovers, the entire market is now unprecedentedly inflated.

Wall Street's capital, after all, is different from the Chinese national team. Various investment institutions have bet on at least $70 billion in long orders, and most of them are in the same way as Xinke Investment, which is in the form of margin and leverage.

Once the price of oil begins to fall, as long as it falls below $35, the vast majority of market makers will be forced to close their positions, and then lose their money, and they can only see on the rooftop.

Don't look at the fact that the price of oil is still rising rapidly, it has exceeded $45, and it seems that $47 or even $50 is not impossible.

In the oil futures market, Yanran is a carnival feast for bulls.

However, in the oil spot market......

A lot of oil sell orders have already begun to appear.

Of course, this is not Saudi Arabia or other Middle Eastern countries demolishing the Americans' Taiwan, and the American GIs are staring at the doorstep, how can they be so blind.

But there are always places in the world that are not under the control of the Americans, especially before 1991.

The Soviets almost pumped out all the gasoline in Gorbachev's car and sold it on the international market.

There has never been such a price on the oil market, $45! God, as long as it lasts for a year, the great Soviet will be resurrected in full blood!

It is conceivable that when Maozi sells out the inventory in his hand, he will enter the futures market.

The USSR was not an OPEC country, and prices were not controlled at all. Fifty dollars? No, thirty dollars for the Soviet Union is already earned.

If the Soviet Union's oil futures were allowed to use oil to pay off its debts, even at the current price, all the efforts of the United States to contain the Soviet Union would be in vain.

What is the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars? Compared with the defeat of the Soviet Union and the overlord of the Blue Star, hundreds of billions of dollars are counted.

It's time to put an end to this.

James Edison flew to China for the first time, with a heavy mission on his shoulders.

Even if it fails to convince the Chinese, the U.S. military will immediately start fighting Iraq and release oil reserves into the market to keep oil prices down and prevent the Soviet Union from taking advantage of this to breathe a sigh of relief.

If you want to talk about business, of course, you have to have chips in your hands. James Edison didn't have any chips in his hands, but it wasn't really a problem for the Americans.

The Chinese side has the ability to flip the table, and to be honest, the Americans do not lack experience in this area, and it can even be said that it is quite abundant.

When everyone begins to use off-market moves to confront each other, the field of confrontation can no longer be limited to the financial market.

"Mr. Hu!"

While James Edison's plane was still in the Pacific Ocean, the pressure on the Americans was already there.

Hu Wenhai raised his head when he heard the sound, and an old acquaintance sweating profusely walked out of Chen Fa's side. Director Sun, no, now he is Manager Sun. Sun Bo's qualifications in Dagang Shipyard are sufficient, and after Chai Shufan retired, he even tried his best to support the young Sun Bo to the position of general manager.

In today's Chinese shipbuilding industry, Manager Sun is definitely a heavyweight.

However, looking at the way he looked, it was clear that he was in huge trouble.

"Manager Sun, why are you here, please take a seat, I'll pour you a cup of tea......

Without waiting for Hu Wenhai to make a move, Sun Bo grabbed his hand, without the reserved demeanor of the general manager of China Shipbuilding Corporation.

"Something is wrong!"

Hu Wenhai was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "Brother Sun, if you have anything, you just say it, don't be in such a hurry." ”

"How can we not be in a hurry, the three cargo ships carrying three cargo ships bound for the Middle East have been seized by the Americans! The reason given to us is that there are chemical weapons raw materials transported to Iraq on board!"

"What!"

A lightning bolt flashed through Hu Wenhai's mind, this routine was too familiar. The Galactic Wheel incident has appeared at this time so much in advance! It seems that the disturbance caused by the change in history has become bigger and bigger.

"Don't worry, you talk slowly, what's going on. ”

Hu Wenhai still calmly poured a glass of water for Sun Bo, and his tone was not shocked.

Seeing that Hu Wenhai was so calm, Sun Bo finally came to his senses.

"ST Shipping has just received maritime calls from the Beizhen, Tashan and Xiongyue, respectively, and earlier today, a U.S. Navy helicopter appeared near the three cargo ships and radioed about the ships. Then the U.S. military sent three destroyers to intercept and monitor at very close range, and asked our ships to stop for inspection. The reason given by the Americans was the suspicion that our ships were carrying thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride, which could be used to make chemical weapons. ”

Hu Wenhai sighed in his heart, and sure enough, even the excuse he used was the same as the Milky Way Wheel back then.

But even so, there are some things that need to be confirmed. Although the name of Xinke Shipping is hung on the name of Xinke, it is jointly funded by Xinke and China Shipbuilding Corporation.

Initially, ST Shipping was established to absorb orders that had been abandoned by shipowners. Due to the lack of professional talents, most of the management and management talents of Xinke Shipping came from China Shipbuilding Corporation, and Xinke only sent supervisors to them.

Therefore, when there was a problem with the Xinke ship, the first person to know about it was Sun Bo of the China Shipbuilding Corporation, not Hu Wenhai, the nominal major shareholder.

Hu Wenhai cannot but doubt the timing of this incident, the financial market cannot play China, and the Americans are angry and want to engage in some off-the-market tricks.

Iraq is now under UN sanctions, and although Resolution 678 has not been passed, it is only that the coalition forces have not yet received the authorization to open fire. But for countries around the world, the crime of transporting chemical weapons to Iraq is enough to put China in the same situation of sanctions.

Once China is sanctioned by the international community, the more than $50 billion that will be sent out to speculate in oil futures will be frozen by the Americans with just an excuse.

This kind of direct collision of national strength is really too unfavorable for China. With China's current strength, it is not a simple financial problem if it really wants to make a fortune in the Gulf War.

"Manager Sun, you have to be honest with me. Hu Wenhai's face was cloudy, but he looked at Sun Bo sincerely: "You have to tell me, do we really have two raw materials, thiodiethylene glycol and thionyl chloride, on our ship?"

"How is that possible!"

Sun Bo's voice was already distorted, his eyes widened, and he shook his head heavily: "The destination of these three ships is Riyadh, and most of the materials transported are daily necessities, perhaps they are used to supply American soldiers! This horse is the American fishing! Otherwise, it is so coincidental that we will have three ships in that sea area." ”

"You have to make sure clearly, maybe some departments in the country are secretly doing things behind our backs? ”

Sun Bo's expression changed on his face, and he nodded: "It's not impossible, but now the matter has broken through the sky." All relevant units are self-examining, and if there is really a department that has done something, I believe it will soon be known. ”
