Chapter 627 Formal confrontation
Time no longer allowed Tian Dongliang to go out to watch the press conference, so he simply stayed in the exchange with peace of mind and observed the movements of the people around him.
In the era of electronic trading, artificial outcry is still not eliminated, and it naturally has its value, especially at special moments, artificial outcry can always play a special role.
With changing tones, long periods of time, different gestures and movements, and hidden eyes, no one can tell what role they can play in trading.
At a quarter past ten, almost all the traders in the crude oil trading pool subconsciously looked at the electronic screen on their waists, and the tidal wave of trading seemed to be suspended.
After a few seconds, the various electronic screens vibrated with each other.
The upstairs staff responsible for transmitting information are like pit workers in an F1 race, and although they are hidden behind the scenes, they still need to be accurate and fast beyond the ordinary.
Tian Dongliang does not have an electronic screen on his body, but there is a screen of scrolling news in the middle of the air of the exchange, which includes both information released by the exchange and news deliveries from large news agencies such as the Associated Press and Reuters.
Tian Dongliang subconsciously raised his head, but his feet began to turn in circles, and he translated those English into Chinese word by word:
"Big oil fields have been discovered in Azerbaijan!"
"The Azijiu oil field in Azerbaijan has proven to be incredibly productive. ”
"The estimated reserves of the Azijiu oil field in Azerbaijan are 10 billion barrels. ”
"The production of Azerbaijani oil fields exceeded 150,000 barrels per day. ”
"Crude oil from the Aziju oil field in Azerbaijan arrived at the Turkish port of Ceyhan. ”
"Six million barrels of crude oil arrived in Ceyhan. ”
One message after another, in just one minute, invaded the entire trading hall, one by one, and the crude oil trading pool became extremely silent.
It was an attack orchestrated by Sioux City, and at the beginning of the press conference, he poked out all the news in the hope of causing an overreaction among traders.
Of course, the outstanding effect will also bring a lot of risks, in case traders digest the news, the price of crude oil will continue to be strong, even if it is used with money, it will be difficult to smash a good result.
Tian Dongliang instantly understood Su Cheng's arrangement, and couldn't help but feel a wave of resentment in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Liu Yi: "This is what you want me to write a report?"
"Write whatever you want, as long as it's factual. Liu Yi laughed lightly twice, with less humility and more confidence.
Tian Dongliang frowned: "You designed me to write this." ”
"Well, it's good material, right? I think any bank executive would want to have that kind of content to write a report, rather than an empty interview without content. Liu Yi did not use more confrontational language, this was to show goodwill to Tian Dongliang. In the past, Dahua Industrial did not need large loans from domestic banks, because Dahua Industrial itself was a super cash cow, but with the gradual improvement of the domestic situation, especially the increase in foreign exchange reserves, the growth of the Bank of China is also obvious to all, and in less than ten years, the Chinese government and the Bank of China, which represents its currency reserves, will become the richest economic institution in the world, and Sioux City still hopes to have a few more allies in it.
Tian Dongliang has qualifications and academic qualifications, and his position and opportunities are quite good, but if there is no support from powerful people, the resistance for him to go further is quite large, and Su Cheng is only an idle man and falls down first.
The idle man of Su City, as the executor, Liu Yi has to devote himself wholeheartedly, and his words are just right, neither too coercive nor compromised.
Tian Dongliang's resentment quickly dissipated, as Liu Yi said, there are many people who can write this report, and Su Cheng can even find someone to write it before signing it. Given the domestic political situation, such a report that can attract the attention of the leaders of the State Council will be done even if it is posted upside down.
"Is the message on the electronic screen true?" Tian Dongliang adjusted his mood, and his tone was much softer.
Liu Yi nodded affirmatively: "It's all true." ”
"With a daily output of 150,000 barrels, but 6 million barrels arrive at Turkish ports, so you have laid out at least 40 days in advance?" Tian Dongliang's sensitivity to numbers made him grasp the core of the news at once.
Liu Yi smiled: "Far more than 40 days." ”
Tian Dongliang's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Su Dong has been planning for a long time, right?"
Oil wells are drilled one by one, and the production is not static, and it takes time for the oil wells in the early stage to become high-yield wells, and the oil wells in the later stage to stabilize production.
6 million barrels of crude oil is almost 800,000 to 900,000 tons, and the largest 300,000-ton tanker is used to load, and at least three oil tankers are required. In the Caspian Sea region, such a large oil tanker is not popular, and Sioux City mainly uses economic oil tankers of around 100,000 tons, but it is not normal to rent so many oil tankers as warehouses at one time.
The rent of a large oil tanker is not cheap, and even if the speed of the ship is reduced, the delivery of 6 million barrels of crude oil to the market at once can still be called deliberate.
Liu Yi didn't explain, and said with a smile: "Next, how the market changes is the key point that everyone cares about." ”
The short conversation ended, and Tian Dongliang unconsciously looked around, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was controlled by the other party.
But Liu Yi's words are correct, no matter what the antecedents are, those who read the report are most concerned about the consequences.
At this time, the traders became silent, and one by one they acted as if they had Parkinson's.
Everyone needed a moment to assess the situation at hand, and at the same time, their colleagues upstairs were also assessing the situation.
It's not uncommon for major financial companies to encounter this kind of thing, but every shock is new.
Ordinary traders waited with peace of mind, and a few star traders became restless.
Any trading pool has its own Popular Traders, and what they do will naturally affect other traders. For example, Sumitomo Corporation's Yasuo Hamanaka is known as "Mr. 5" because he controls the global copper market. During the period when Yasuo Hamanaka was victorious, when he stood in the copper trading pool, all traders would pay attention to his movements, even if "Mr. 5" was just buying a lot of copper futures, and other traders and financial companies had to interpret it carefully.
In the well-known story of the Rothschild's sudden wealth, although the focus of public attention is often that the Rothschilds got the news of Napoleon's defeat in advance, or the Rothschilds created the fastest intelligence route from Waterloo to London, but in the process of their public sale of British public bonds and then secret acquisitions, star traders are also indispensable。
Popular traders have a wide variety of personalities and different levels, and the only thing they have in common is that they have a huge amount of capital at their disposal and can make decisions that affect the market.
And at this critical moment, if ordinary traders shoot before star traders, once they succeed, they will undoubtedly become short-term stars.
However, the price of being cool is huge, and in this pure capital market, ordinary traders who lack capital often end up being cool and become cute and used as jokes by their predecessors.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for something, but no one knew exactly what they were waiting for.
Suddenly, a yellow man rushed down from the second floor, holding the transaction slip in his hand, dangling in the air for a moment, and rushed into the trading pool.
"Hidetomo Hirano. Liu Yi muttered to himself.
"Do you know him?" Tian Dongliang took out his notebook at some point.
Liu Yi nodded and said, "People from Sumitomo Trading Company, he has visited our drilling platform in the Aqijiu Oilfield, and he has also met Su Dong. However, I thought he was in charge of mergers and acquisitions, what did he do?"
The answer was soon revealed.
Hirano stood in the middle of the trading pool, took a breath, and shouted in fluent English: "Sumitomo buy, buy now!" their cards are out and it's our ......"
The second half of the sentence is no longer listened to.
Because the whole trading pool is boiling.
This is a signal of betting, and it is a signal of big betting.
It is well known that Pan Asia funds are short, and there are quite a few relative longs. However, a financial consortium such as Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. is much more powerful than ordinary bulls.
They are not only a large consortium with assets of $300 billion, but also a large financial consortium with assets of $300 billion, and their available capital is no less than that of JPMorgan Chase.
This kind of bulls, in the market, can be seen as almost invincible, most of the time, as long as they want, they can buy all the long or short orders in the market.
Hidetomo Hirano's hands flew up, and he ate the list before the pause in one go, and the oil price jumped up twice.
If there are no more short orders coming in, oil prices will inevitably rise in the opposite direction.
Liu Yi's eyes were straight.
After planning for a long time, could it be that he lost without resistance like this?
Tian Dongliang also took two steps forward impatiently, staring with bated breath.
The current Dahua Industrial and Pan Asia Fund are not ordinary short-selling, they sell crude oil in the futures market while also selling crude oil in the spot market, which not only deviates from the original intention of hedging, but also can be said to be a double risk.
With double attack power, there should be a double risk.
In the event of defeat, the losses of one side are less in the billions of dollars.
Thinking of billions of dollars, Tian Dongliang seems to be able to hear the beating sound of his heart "thumping". Millions of oil workers throughout China monopolize 9.6 million square kilometers of oil exploitation and oil refining rights with equipment worth hundreds of billions of yuan, and earn billions of dollars in foreign exchange from exports a year.
"I'll sell it to you. "Normally, the trading floor is full of gibberish voices, but today, Milton only needs to raise his voice a little and others can hear it.
Hidetomo Hirano's face changed slightly, and he turned his body slightly, and saw Milton clenching one hand into a fist and one finger on the back of his head.
The fist represents five, the fingers are placed on the chin and are in single digits, the nose is in the tens digits, the forehead is in hundreds, and the back of the head is in thousands. On the London International Petroleum Exchange, the standard for one lot of crude oil is 1,000 barrels.
In other words, Milton is now selling 5 million barrels.
Hirano Hidetomo ate it without hesitation.
The bulls and bears officially clashed.
Traders on and off the floor focused their eyes on the faces of Hidetomo Hirano and Vulture Man, trying to figure out who had the more confidence.
At the same time, everyone continues to digest and try to confirm the news from Azerbaijan.
