Chapter 245: Transformation
After Zheng Yan and his entourage moved into the castle, Zheng Yan and Lisa, who knew the marrow, lived a life without shame, and the relationship between Wang Zhen and Miyuki Aso gradually made some progress.
"Sir, Bill Miller is here, and he seems to be in a hurry, would you like to see him?" said the butler Morry Wharton to Zheng Yan.
All the funds invested by Yan Huang have entered the oil futures market, but in addition to losing hundreds of millions of dollars at the beginning, and then returning to calm, Bill Miller must be a little unable to sit still.
"Let him in. ”
Since moving into the castle, stretching out his hands for clothes, opening his mouth for food, and spreading everything, living like an emperor, Zheng Yan is still a little uncomfortable for a while.
Although Zheng Yan once instructed that some friends should not be passed on when they visited, Morry Wharton, as a housekeeper, thought that this was an indispensable etiquette, and Zheng Yan let him go, and he would not live here for a long time anyway.
"Bill, my friend, it looks like you have brought me good news today. ”
In the past few days, Bill Miller has almost been dismayed by the investment in oil futures, but now, the red-faced Bill Miller is like a different person.
"Oh Zheng Yan, I really doubt that you have the ability to be a prophet of the unknown, yes, I did bring good news this time. Before I tell you, though, I think you can guess. ”
"Well, Bill, I don't think there should be anything that makes you so happy, except for the rise in international crude oil prices. Let's talk about it. ”
"Zheng Yan, you're so boring, can't you be a little surprised?"
Seeing that Zheng Yan was still calm, Bill Miller continued: "You must not have imagined that although the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait on the oil issue are still inconclusive, just today, Iraq directly dispatched 50,000 troops to the border between the two countries, showing that if the results of the negotiations are not satisfied, Iraq will not hesitate to start a war. ”
Zheng Yan thought to herself: What is there to think of here? Not only did I know it for a long time, but even the next development was also clear. However, Bill Miller didn't care what Zheng Yan thought at all.
"Because of this, many people are worried that war will actually break out, and after the opening of the New York Stock Exchange this morning, the price of international crude oil has skyrocketed, and now the price has risen to $27.03 per barrel. ”
"Those who were waiting to see our jokes, were slapped in the face. Just today, I've received several calls to buy some futures contracts from us. Zheng Yan, we made a lot of money this time!"
Until now, Bill Miller still couldn't believe that things could take such a big turn. Before that, Bill Miller had prepared for the worst, and he didn't expect that there would be a moment of brilliance, it was really happiness that came too suddenly.
"Okay Bill, it's not time to be happy, it's just the beginning, and the current oil futures are like crops that are about to ripen, but they are not ripe yet. ”
According to Zheng Yan's memory, the price of crude oil will exceed $40 a barrel this time, creating a record high.
According to Zheng Yan's investment this time, Yanhuang Investment currently has more than 6 million crude oil futures contracts under its name, totaling more than 6 billion barrels of crude oil, that is, today's profit has exceeded 30 billion US dollars. This is already a textbook successful investment case in the investment community, but listening to Zheng Yan's meaning, this is not enough to satisfy him.
"Zheng Yan, do you mean that we will continue to hold? I think we can make a move after two days of stability, and this rise is only because the sudden action in Iraq has caused people to panic about the war, but this situation cannot last. ”
"Bill, I understand what you mean, if it's just that the two countries are at a standoff, I believe that the price of crude oil will soon fall back, but have you ever thought about what if war really breaks out?"
"We all know that the Gulf produces 60 percent of the world's oil, and Kuwait is the largest oil producer, and if war breaks out, the price of oil will reach an alarming level. But if we quit now, then no matter how it changes in the future, it will not matter to us. ”
Zheng Yan thinks about the next oil price, it is completely a leap growth, since he is 100% sure, how can he let go of this piece of fat?
"Oh Zheng Yan, you don't think there will really be a war, do you?"
"Why not? Before that, can you think that Iraq would send troops to the border between the two countries? This investment was originally a gamble, and now that we have won, why don't we gamble a little bigger?"
At this moment, Zheng Yan is a real gambler in the eyes of Bill Miller, not a gambler who loses with a red eye, but a gambler who wins with a red eye. Bill Miller believes that this situation will be withdrawn in time by any investment institution, at least most of the funds. But Zheng Yan didn't think so at all, looking at Zheng Yan's situation, if there were still funds, there would even be the idea of raising the bet.
"Zheng Yan, your idea is too crazy. While there are great opportunities, the risks are just as great. You know, Iraq has just ended the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, and it has suffered a heavy setback, both economically and militarily, and I really can't think of any reason for them to start a war again. ”
"As for Kuwait, although their country's economic strength is very strong, but the size of the country and the number of people determine that they do not have the conditions to start a war, so your idea is just a good wish as an investor, and it is impossible to realize it at all. ”
"I still stick to my point of view, and when the price of crude oil stabilizes, we will exit in time to ensure the return on the existing investment. ”
Although Iraq has made a gesture of preparing for war, everyone still ignores the level of madness of Saddam, almost everyone agrees with Bill Miller's view, Iraq is just a gesture, and it is impossible to really start a war.
"Okay Bill, I'm just saying that even if there is no war, in the current state of tension between Iraq and Kuwait, the oil production of both countries will definitely be affected. ”
"As long as the two countries remain in a stalemate, the price of crude oil will not fall, at most it will stabilize, which means that our interests will not be affected too much. In that case, what does it matter if we wait a little longer?"
Zheng Yan knew in his heart that trying to convince Bill Miller was like telling him tomorrow's lottery winning numbers, and he wouldn't believe it at all, so he simply used procrastination.
