Chapter 285: How can this be
(.) Without waiting for Director Huang and Zhu Enbo to jump out, the fat military expert stopped first. ()
He felt that Su Cheng was targeting him, so he said angrily: "I admit that your incomplete theory can make you money. But war and military affairs are not so simple. Iraq is a big country, and even if the air strikes cost them a lot, it cannot be said that the war is over. What to do with your private money is your business, and the state's money cannot be wasted. Director Mao, the war will continue, and oil prices will continue to rise. ”
Fat experts had to bet. His value lies in military judgment, and it is one thing to make a mistake in judgment, and another thing to admit defeat.
Zhu Enbo took the opportunity to say: "I also think that oil prices will continue to rise, and I have always insisted on that. ”
Director Mao is actually not directly involved in this matter, he is the direct leader of the National Reserve Center, but he himself knows nothing about futures, so he looks at Director Huang.
Being stared at by a group of people, Director Huang was sweating profusely, and said cowardly for a while: "I think you can hold on a little longer, hold on for another day." ”
Su Cheng smiled angrily and said, "This is your advance and retreat? still hold on for a day? Thank God if you can hold on for 6 hours." ”
"Then wait another six hours. Director Huang also changed his tune. His thoughts are similar to Zhu Enbo's, a war is not protracted, it can't end in less than a day, and the blitzkrieg is not so fast.
Some time ago, the wrong direction caused them to lose a lot of money on their books, and in order not to cause actual losses, Director Huang owed a lot of favors to raise the current $60 million in funds. If he can't earn a little back, then he will have a hard time in the future. In Director Huang's view, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Futures, stocks, and casinos are all the same, and there is never a shortage of greedy people.
It is impossible to make sense with the National Reserve Center, and at this time, the more people who consider themselves professional, the more self-righteous they are.
Su Cheng still said to Director Mao: "6 hours is a limit state. If the oil price cannot be supported, the national reserve center will lose a large amount of money, the country's money. ”
"It's also possible to make a lot of money. A little boldness can make tens of millions of dollars. "Director Huang didn't want to make a bad impression in front of a group of important ministers. Now, Sioux City and he are at odds with him. He had forgotten all about his brothers.
In his heart, Su Cheng can understand Director Huang. In less than an hour, the price of oil climbed to $40, and at this time, who would think that the price of oil had plummeted at $45? And in just two hours.
This Gulf War is a nightmare for futures traders.
The Gulf War subverted the world's understanding of military affairs and disgraced many military experts. But for futures traders, the Gulf War also upended their understanding of international oil futures. The face of a military expert is worthless, but a futures merchant bets with real money.
The Gulf War was a butcher's knife at all. I don't know how many heads have been cut off.
If $1 million is considered a life, the first day of the Gulf War was a lot of people.
However, understanding is understanding, Sioux City did not like the approach of Director Huang and Zhu Enbo. If it weren't for selfishness. They could have made the right judgment. In other words, they do not make decisions in a way that is most beneficial to the center of the national reserve, but in a way that is best for themselves......
A decision means tens of millions of dollars of asset translocation.
Sioux City can only say: death is more than innocent!
He no longer left room for it, and simply said, "This is not the first time you have made a mistake in judgment. Now, what your National Reserve Center has done is far beyond your purview. How much has your security deposit increased? $40 million, or $50 million, or $60 million, how much money has Director Mao authorized you? $25 million? What qualifications do you have to say here to insist? If you persist any longer, the National Reserve Center will lose all its money. This time, who gave you an increase in the margin. ”
There are some things that pass without anyone mentioning them, such as the National Reserve Center is not qualified to speculate on futures. But since Su Cheng proposed it, Director Mao had to pay attention to it.
He knew that Su Cheng was telling the truth, but these were questions that could not be delved into. He had the heart to relieve himself, so he asked the fat expert next to him: "Professor Fang, how long do you think it will take for the United States and Iran to distinguish between the winners and losers so that the price of oil will drop?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on Iraq's determination to resist. They haven't launched missiles yet, and if they blow up several oil fields in Saudi Arabia, the situation will be completely different......" The fat expert felt that he was taken seriously and took it again.
Director Mao didn't care about the content of what he said, he was trying to buy time to think.
In front of Mr. Zhou and Mr. Su, Director Mao realized that the correct procedure and the correct result were equally important, and in view of this, he also made a decision: "Director Huang, I think what Chairman Su said is very reasonable, and the State Reserve Center should consider throwing orders." Moreover, the National Reserve Center needs to think carefully about its responsibilities and put an end to high-risk futures trading......"
The responsibility of the national reserve center is to hedge and use futures to lock in the resources of the national reserve to reduce the risk of the national reserve. Therefore, the responsibilities mentioned by Director Mao are equivalent to canceling the qualification of the National Reserve Center to do futures trading, and without this qualification, the meaning and value of the National Reserve Center will be very different. From an institution that originally controlled tens of millions of dollars in funds, it has become a public institution with tens of millions of funds in accordance with the rules.
Hall Huang was shocked, and gritted his teeth for a long time and said: "The National Reserve Center is also considering breaking a way out of futures trading. Futures trading is the only way to trade commodities, and if we don't participate, other countries will seize our territory......"
In addition to his words, he only explained the futures work of the National Reserve Center, and did not say anything about selling orders.
No one present could not hear it, Director Mao couldn't hold it on his face, and forcibly ordered: "Since Dahua has already sold the order, the National Reserve Center will also sell the order." ”
The value of the order dumping and the national reserve center are linked. After thinking about it, Director Huang finally shook his head firmly and said, "We believe that it is in the best interests of the country to hold on for more than 6 hours. ”
Director Huang is tantamount to going all-in. His position, his reputation, his future, are all on the rise in oil prices.
He had to. In terms of speaking, he and Director Mao are only one level apart. As the director of the National Reserve Center, his current position has a good chance of competing for deputy director.
However, if the futures center loses tens of millions of dollars of dominance, coupled with the failed investment in the past few days, the chances of Director Huang going further are very slim.
Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to fight to the death. That's probably why Director Huang is betting now. Duan Yuanguang and Su Zhenguo, who were present, were almost at the top of the economic system, and with Zhou Lao next to him, if his judgment was accurate, he would not only defeat Director Mao, but also defeat Dahua.
At that time, the aura on Su Cheng's head will be trampled under the feet of Director Huang.
This is a typical officialdom tactic, stepping on someone else's shoulders to come to power, and it is not the first time that Director Huang has done it.
Director Mao was almost mad, and called him by his name: "Huang Renpan, I order you to throw the plate." ”
Director Huang was waiting for this sentence, and he thought he had calculated and said: "You are the deputy director, you want to order me to sell the plate, and I will resolutely implement it, but I reserve my opinion." ”
Being ordered to sell is equivalent to reducing the risk in disguise. The "reservation" keeps his bet alive.
"Throw the plate!" Director Mao didn't want to pay attention to Director Huang, he knew what this guy was doing, and Director Mao was very indignant that he had become a background.
Under the hint of Director Huang, Zhu Enbo and others began to sell slowly.
At the same time, Sioux City ordered: "When the price of oil is $41, start shorting." ”
Zhang Chao immediately repeated: "The current price is $40.2, and $41 is short." ”
Now that Director Huang is on the gambling table, there is no way out. He firmly stated: "Oil prices will climb all the way above $45, and it is not impossible to reach $50." When the time comes, Dahua Industrial will know the pain. Not only will all the money earned now be lost, but each barrel will be lost by 9 US dollars, that is, 360 million US dollars. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.
Su Cheng was unmoved, and his eyes didn't glance at Director Huang.
Only the fat expert cooperated: "Iraq still has spare strength, it is only an air strike, and it cannot inflict a devastating blow on them." I am now very worried that the Americans will only bomb and not attack, and in this case, won't the war have to go on indefinitely? I don't know how high the oil price will go, and Su Dong will just throw away the order, and it will be suicide to sell short. ”
Zhou Lao smiled, looked left and right, and said: "I didn't expect that this oil futures market can reflect the international situation, we happen to be free today, just see what the result is." ”
Sioux City didn't understand: Aren't you supposed to be very busy when there's a war in the bay?
Time ticked by. The information from the outside was constantly sent, and after Zhou Lao read it, some of it would also be handed over to the people below to read.
When Sioux City saw the news that Iraq had failed to blow up the Saudi oil fields by launching five Scud missiles, he knew that this long-short duel was over again.
The fat expert also saw this little note, and with his professional eye, he naturally knew what it meant for 5 Scud missiles to fail at the same time. Out of shame, he didn't say it.
Half a minute later, oil briefly peaked at $42 before starting to show a downward curve......
Zhu Enbo, who had just finished throwing the order, had his hands frozen. He imagined a beautiful possibility, he threw away the list, and as a result, the price of oil rose in response, and he could accuse Su Cheng of misjudgment, as well as Director Mao Yunyun...... But he never envisaged the opposite.
Did the Gulf War end in two hours?
How can this be!
Director Huang watched the price of oil jump from $42 to $38, and he also had the idea of jumping off the building.
Director Mao squinted at Director Huang and the others, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Fortunately, we threw away all the lists of the national reserves. ”
