Volume 3 Chapter 190 Confidence
Until Hassan's team talks with the Brazilian government, the words between Li Sheng and him and Ali don't make any sense. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info And Li Sheng can't help a lot in this matter, at most he is waving the flag and shouting.
Ali and Hassan spent more than a week at Silent Farm before flying together to the United States. After they left, Li Sheng found that the price of crude oil soon exceeded $120 a barrel. And it is slowly climbing up in the shock. And all kinds of good news have also begun to be introduced, although it is not heavy, but it seems to verify the market's optimism that oil prices can rise to 150 or even 180 US dollars.
It's just that Li Sheng hinted a few times intentionally or unintentionally in Ali's visit this time, knowing that this time crude oil prices will not rise as analysts say.
Over the next few days, Li Sheng discovered an interesting development. It's like the performance of a bookmaker in the stock market.
If he hadn't decided that the crude oil price had basically reached a bottleneck, he might really think that the dealer was holding back another rally. He has already begun to let Luo Zheng's team quietly close the position. On Finn's side, he made excuses that he needed funds and planned to withdraw.
Perhaps because the overall situation has now been decided, Finn did not delay his request to Li Sheng, and closed his position in just a few days. and transferred his share of the funds to the account set by Li Sheng.
Li Sheng handed over the funds to the accountants of the management team for accounting, and the last two funds added up, out of various interest and various taxes, he could have a net income of 14 billion US dollars, and the profit rate was close to 100%. It has to be said that the financial speculation market is indeed the most profitable place, and one day it may double your worth or make you a beggar.
Of course, he can have such a benefit this time, mainly because he does not have too many operations, and such operations are very risky, and he does not carry out risk-averse combination operations at all.
Judging from his profits, this wave of oil prices has attracted a lot of hot money to participate. And he has already withdrawn 14 billion dollars from this part of the hot money. Of course, this is also his own funds, not borrowed from the bank. And he is not greedy, the leverage he uses is not high, and he is doing the middle line, and he has basically not thrown it after opening a position. The bank's interest expense and operating costs are not very large.
With this profit, plus his capital, he now has more than $30 billion in his account. In addition, he has four billion euros in several European banks, which have been paid for the Silent Farm products that Fernando has represented in Europe for the past two years. He never touched the money, after all, the dollar has been depreciating.
In addition, he still has tens of billions of yuan in deposits in Huaxia's banks, and after the summer grain harvest, countries around the world will purchase grain, and in the autumn, he should be able to share more than 10 billion yuan in after-tax dividends from New East Asia, plus the agricultural products sold in Huaxia, which is also a lot of money.
Li Sheng couldn't find a better investment for this money, so he had a plan.
Now he can see that this wave of crude oil market will end within a month. In this hype, the last person to take over the futures is the loser. Perhaps now some of the original bulls have begun to change hands and go short.
He thought of this possibility, so he asked Luo Zheng's trading team to investigate the market.
Although such an investigation is only a rough judgment, the news that the team gave was that the number of empty orders did start to increase.
It's just that the speed of the increase in short orders is not very fast, and it looks like someone is betting that oil prices will fall. So the parties don't think that's going to turn the tide.
Li Sheng also plans to gamble. Instead, the team took the funds in his account that he did not withdraw and shorted it with five times leverage.
In the next 20 days, crude oil prices have basically risen slowly, but the bears are also getting stronger.
On the last trading day of the end of June, the price of oil had reached $148, and by this time he had already lost more than $3 billion. And his account still has more than 10 billion. Li Sheng noticed that the market had just opened that day, and the trading volume in the centralized auction stage was very large. And oil prices fell by about 1% at the beginning.
However, soon the bulls made another effort, and in just one hour, it rose 0.5% from the closing price of the previous trading day. During this period of time, the competition between the bulls and bears is very fierce, as if the bears want to stop the oil price from breaking through the price of 150 at all costs.
But the multi-party seems to be more powerful. No matter how many sell orders are thrown by the bears, they will be eaten instantly.
Li Sheng kept staring at this curve, and when the market closed in the middle, he finally relented and asked the team to use 8 billion yuan to sell at 16 times the leverage after the market reopened in the afternoon.
After giving this command, Li Sheng stopped staring at the curve. In the end, he couldn't control it. Either you lose a lot of money, or you wait until the delivery date to make a large profit.
But today, even if all the more than 20 billion is lost, his loss is actually not very large. At most, it is a loss of six billion. Although it was a lot of money, he could still afford it.
On this day, it was a weekend in Huaxia, and Li Sheng received a call from Tia in the evening. He hadn't been to Huaxia for more than three months, and this was the longest time the two had been apart since he sent Tia to Huaxia.
Tia is about to go on summer vacation, and of course she has a final exam before the holiday. Tia first talked to him for a while, and when it was almost twelve o'clock on Li Sheng's side, Tia asked a question that surprised him a little: "Li, can I skip a grade?"
"Skip a grade, what level to jump?" Li Sheng didn't understand what she meant for a while.
"I'm in my first year of high school this year, but this semester, I've already taught myself sophomore classes. I've heard that if you meet a certain standard, you can skip a grade. I'd like to give it a try, can I?"
Li Sheng didn't expect that she wanted to go directly to the third year of high school. Although he has been out of school for a long time, he also knows that in the three years of high school, the second year of high school is the most important. The third year of high school is only a review-oriented. Therefore, it is very rare for people to skip a grade in high school, but it is often heard that they are directly admitted to university in the second year of high school.
Tia waited for a while and didn't hear him answer, and said a little disappointedly, "Li, I'm just asking." In fact, I think there are many knowledge points that I don't have a firm grasp of. Actually, I think it's better for me to go on to higher education normally. ”
Li Sheng couldn't hear that she said something wrong, but he thought about it for a while, and he didn't object to Tia skipping a grade. He never thought that she would be admitted to a prestigious university or anything like that.
In China, high school is actually the pinnacle of exam-oriented education, and at this stage, students in school do not have much benefit except for the possible improvement of their grades. Now it seems that Tia is doing well in her studies, so there is no need to spend time in school.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "If you want to skip a grade, then give it a try." ”
"Do you really think I should skip a grade?" Tia asked cautiously. "You're really not angry?"
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Why am I angry? But don't study too hard in the future." ”
Tia's plan to try to skip a grade did not leave any waves in Li Sheng's heart.
The next day, after dealing with some things, he turned on his computer and found that the front page of the news website was that the OPEC countries had agreed to an increase in Venezuelan crude oil production by two million barrels per day.
"We note that high oil prices have affected the normal functioning of the world economy, and at the same time, in order to promote the recovery of the domestic economy in Venezuela, we have adopted in particular the request for Venezuela to increase production. "This is the reason given by the secretary general of OPEC.
"Depending on the specific situation of crude oil prices, we will decide whether to adjust the total production within the organization again. The secretary-general replied when asked by reporters whether there would be another adjustment in crude oil production in the short term. "We at OPEC agree that it is reasonable for crude oil prices to remain between $80 and $100 per barrel. ”
As soon as he saw the news, he knew that oil prices were about to plummet. It's just that it's a rest day in the Western Hemisphere.
The next day, he saw again news about the price of oil. Huaxia and Kazakhstan signed a $16 billion contract to buy natural gas and crude oil.
From this news, Li Sheng can see that in this wave of market, Huaxia should also be involved.
Seeing two major negative news in the two crude oil trading markets, Li Sheng was completely relaxed. The next morning, he called Thomas and asked him to apply for permission to land the plane in Huaxia Lingang.
Tia is about to go on summer vacation, and he hasn't been to Huaxia for quite some time. And the things that need him to worry about the farm are basically over. So he's going to go to China. According to past experience, when Huaxia approved his plane to land, by that time, Tia should have already started the final test.
However, to his surprise, Thomas actually reported to him the next day: "Li, Huaxia Lingang International Airport has come to inform us that our landing application has been approved, and we are required to determine the specific time of the plane's landing. ”
Li Sheng definitely didn't expect that this application would be approved so quickly. However, after thinking about it, he thought that it might have something to do with Feng Xiaoting handing over that bacterium to the Huaxia officials. Maybe now some people in Huaxia are waiting for him to pass.
He wasn't sure if it was a cage or flowers that greeted him. But he still had to go this time. And he also believed that even if Huaxia wanted to control him, he would not take action immediately.
Anyone who can be in a high position is not stupid. The more you covet something, the less likely you are to snatch it until you are absolutely sure. Once the snatch is unsuccessful, there is no chance of even cooperating to get a piece of the pie. Although cooperation cannot monopolize all interests, it can at least hold one benefit in hand. Ten birds in the forest is not as good as one bird in hand, take what you have in your hand, and then worry about what others have, that is the best means.
As for the fear that someone suspects that he has some secrets on him, and that he will be captured and sliced. He's never been there. Because no one who has that ability is a madman, and those scientific maniacs don't have it. Even if someone knew his secret, no country would dare to detain him easily, because the gains outweighed the losses. Not to mention wanting to kill him and get what you want from him. The kind of stupidity that doesn't do any good, maybe only the protagonist of the novel thinks that makes sense. (To be continued.) )
