In the Guo family's mansion, there was already laughter and laughter at this time, and everywhere was filled with a joyful atmosphere like the New Year. Although the people who work in the house don't know whether it's because of weishenme, the main family is so happy, but after a large amount of red envelopes are sent, who else can push it out?
Mr. Guo was so happy in the past two days, the return of 20 billion US dollars, after removing the cost, the income exceeded 30 times, this amount made Mr. Guo was simply stunned at that time. Although he has long known that he can make a lot of money if he does a good job in the futures market, in just a few months, such a rich return is the first time in Mr. Guo's life. Even when a subsidiary of the Kwok Shipping Group was listed in Hong Kong, there was no such thing. Originally, in his mind, he was quite satisfied if he could earn a 100% income, but he would have thought that he would earn a tenfold income. Yu Dongfeng actually brought more than thirty times the income report, and at that time, the old man Guo almost lost his breath, which scared the health care doctor of the Guo family very much.
Even if he and Fang Mingyuan share this money equally, it is still 10 billion US dollars in revenue, and the total value of Guo's Shipping Group Company cannot reach so much now. However, Mr. Guo's tone was very tight, and he didn't tell Guo Tianyu and any of them the details, only that he made a lot of money in oil futures, and the profits were very considerable. He also ordered Fang Mingyuan to keep his mouth shut about this matter, and the specific income should not be leaked to anyone before all the futures contracts were sold, not even Fang Bin, who was also in Hong Kong. Fang Mingyuan naturally could only bow down and obey orders.
To tell the truth, for being able to earn such a huge profit, it is also beyond the expectation of Fang Mingyuan, although he knows that futures trading because of the leverage effect of the trading margin system, so that it has the characteristics of "small and broad", and can use less capital to complete huge transactions, but the trading margin he knows is generally to pay 10% to 15% of the total amount of the futures contract, and in this alone, due to the existence of Dongfeng, the funds required for trading margin are less than half. Naturally, you will be able to buy more crude oil futures. In this way, this income is far beyond Fang Mingyuan's expectations. Fang Mingyuan would never have thought that he had just seized this opportunity, and this asset would increase by 108,000 miles. Tens of billions of dollars of family property, not to mention in China and Hong Kong, even if you look at the whole Shijie, you can definitely be called rich.
Although it is said that in the days when Fang Mingyuan came to Hong Kong, Yu Dongfeng had already said that he was mentally prepared for these situations, but when the report was handed in front of him, Fang Mingyuan was also very out of shape, he read the report over and over again more than ten times, and in two whole days, he would take it out and look at it again from time to time, and then he would be in a daze, pinch himself a few times from time to time, and let out a smirk, so that others looked at him sideways, Lin Lian and Chen Zhong couldn't cry or laugh. Fang Mingyuan's heart was completely let go at this time, originally he also thought that with the capital he had invested, he would be able to be in this feast. He can thank God for making a billion and eight billion dollars, but the result is far beyond his imagination.
Ten billion US dollars, a huge amount that I couldn't think of in my previous life, fell on my head like this, and Fang Mingyuan's mood can be said to be extremely comfortable.
"Mingyuan, Old Man Guo invites you over!" Lin Lian answered a phone call and softly reminded Fang Ming to go away.
When Fang Mingyuan rushed to Old Man Guo's place, in addition to Old Man Guo, there was also Yu Dongfeng present in the house.
"Dongfeng, let me introduce to you again, this one is Fang Mingyuan from Qinxi Province in the interior." Old man Guo said solemnly to Dongfeng Dao. Yu Dongfeng couldn't help but be inexplicable, full of confusion, as early as the first day of Fang Mingyuan's visit to Hong Kong, the two had already met, which one did the old man play?
"You haven't always wondered how I saw that the Middle East was going to be in turmoil and the price of Shijie crude oil was going to rise dramatically. Now I'll tell you, I didn't know at the time, to ask weishenme you ask him! Before Old Man Guo's words fell, Yu Dongfeng had already fallen off the chair and sat on the ground, stunned.
"Okay, okay, I'll admit, I was out of shape at the time. But in that case, how many people will not lose their temper? Yu Dongfeng explained to his son in the future, "I don't know how old he was at that time, but I know that he will definitely not be able to pass eighteen." Because he still has a strong childishness on his face. Of course, I later learned that he was fourteen at the time. OK, OK, even if he is eighteen, at that time your father and I were forty-two, in the futures market for no less than fifteen years, but also a successful futures trader, although it can not be said that a hundred battles are won, but it is also six or seven wins in ten battles, in the Southeast Asian futures trading industry, is also a well-known person. I didn't have a chance to see it, but I was seen by a young man who was only eighteen at the time, and I had explained futures knowledge to him, can I not be surprised by your father? ”
In fact, Yu Dongfeng's reaction at that time was not only surprise, but more of a shock, a reaction to the facts after disbelief. However, after all, he was a mentally tested person, and after being pulled up from the ground by Fang Mingyuan, he quickly returned to normal.
Fang Mingyuan didn't expect that Old Man Guo would actually "betray" himself, and in a hurry, he could only deal with the same set of words that he coaxed Old Man Guo at the beginning.
"That's it, you and Old Man Guo took out so much money and invested it all in the futures market?" Yu Dongfeng is incredulous. "You haven't thought about what you do if you fail? Although Mr. Guo withdrew 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, Guo's Shipping Group Company has a big business, even if it is a total loss, it only hurts the tendons, and it can't move the bones. You've wiped out almost all of your possessions! ”
Fang Mingyuan shrugged and said, "Yes, if it fails, then it will naturally be a family with four walls." But I thought, I'm still young, and all this money is lost, and it's a big deal to spend a few years. I can earn it back. But once I succeed, my harvest will be rich and satisfying, why don't you try it? Of course, he couldn't tell Yu Dongfeng that his brother was already in his chest, and Iraq's attack on Kuwait was a certainty, and unless Saddam Hussein died, it would never change the outcome.
"That's it?" Yu Dongfeng was dumbfounded for a long time before he asked with difficulty.
"That's it!" Fang Mingyuan replied affirmatively.
On 5 August, 6 August, and 7 August, the Shijie countries were still engaged in a war of words over Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, but two US aircraft carrier groups had already entered the Persian Gulf, and the situation was further tense. However, in the Shijie oil market, the price of oil increased by only $1.57 billion, and by the close of trading on 7 August, the price of Shijie oil was $39.57 per barrel, continuing to approach the all-time record mark of $40. In just three days, Yu Dongfeng recovered nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. Immediately relieved the dilemma of insufficient liquidity on hand of Guo's Shipping Group.
"The record of $40 per barrel was set during the second oil crisis, and if you want to break it, from the current point of view, it may need a little bit of a big event to cooperate." Yu Dongfeng explained to Old Man Guo and Fang Mingyuan.
Old Man Guo nodded understandingly, this is the same as in the stock market, if you want to break through the previous high, you always need some good news. "But, in my opinion, it's just a matter of time. The first batch of 5,000 US soldiers does not mean that they will arrive in Saudi Arabia tomorrow to help Saudi Arabia defend Iraq, and I think this is undoubtedly a good thing for us. ”
Fang Mingyuan hopes that the oil price can break through forty dollars as soon as possible, and in the next three months, the higher the climb, the better, anyway, China does not import oil today, that is, the price of oil has risen sky-high, and there is no negative impact on the Chinese economy, maybe it can be through the export of oil, and make another profit. His heart moved. For Dongfeng: "Brother Yu, do you want to leave a strong mark in the history of oil futures trading?" ”
"Huh?" Yu Dongfeng looked at Fang Mingyuan inexplicably.
Fang Mingyuan attached himself to Yu Dongfeng's ear and muttered in a low voice for a long time. Yu Dongfeng had a look of sudden realization at this time, and then his face was ecstatic.
At 10:32 a.m. on August 8, 1990, the price of Shijie oil exceeded $40! History will record this moment forever!
Yu Dongfeng sold and bought a single order, although there were only a hundred hands, but it was like a lightning, breaking through the confinement of forty dollars, and then, with the continuous emergence of buy orders, crude oil prices began to continue to climb, although there was no speed in the previous few days, but it was firmly and slowly moving up. By the end of the evening, the price of Shijie oil had reached forty-one dollars.
Fang Mingyuan did not know that in his previous life, the high price of Shijie oil exceeded the high level of 40 US dollars, half a month after the outbreak of the war, at that time, because Iraq refused to withdraw from Kuwaiti territory, but instead assigned part of Kuwait's territory to a province of Iraq, and the remaining part was established as a province, and declared it to be an inseparable part of Iraq forever, the United States began to accelerate the transportation of troops to the Gulf, and the smell of gunpowder in the Middle East became stronger and stronger. A peaceful solution to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was on the verge of collapse, and investors were disappointed with the future supply of oil, and oil prices broke through the all-time highs created by the second oil crisis. It can be said that at the instigation of Fang Mingyuan, Yu Dongfeng's order changed history in advance......
