Chapter 121: Before the Storm
Since the Kuwait Investment Authority announced that it would suspend its increase in BP Oil's shares, hinting that it would start talks with the other party, BP's share price has been in a violent swing. Although the stock price quickly stabilized, it has stopped its upward trend. Clearly, the potential impact of this signal from the Kuwait Investment Authority on the stock market is enormous.
BP's stock is like a pool of stagnant water, calm and lifeless, and the trading volume has been declining for several days......
Savvy investors are realizing that maybe this is just the calm before the storm, which seems to be calm, but is already full of crises.
on the market.
Investors who own BP oil shares are nervous, sell or wait for a better time? Investors are in a state of panic.
……
Tang Bao's daily life still hasn't changed much, going to class, going to the library, and attending some meetings...... It's just that this kind of life seems to be very easy and comfortable, but only Tang Bao himself knows how much he has to be busy. Recharge, plan your business strategy for the year, build your own network, and pay attention to BP Oil's movements!
Because.
Tang Bao has also recently noticed something unusual about BP Oil.
It is said that even if the two sides negotiate smoothly, it will take at least a few months to complete Tang Bao's major injection of $2 billion into the British BP oil company.
What about reality.
Peter came to New York twice in a row in half a month. Once looking for investors, and once directly signing a two-billion dollar investment agreement with him.
Seems to be in a hurry......
It was at this critical juncture that Kuwaiti Investment stopped increasing its stake in BP Oil.
If there is no connection. Tang Bao himself didn't believe it. What's more, he knows that the British government will put pressure on Kuwait in the near future, and the Kuwait Investment Authority will reduce its stock holdings!
Of course.
Tang Bao also knew that Britain and Kuwait must be communicating in private, and they would not easily disclose this kind of news. Because once it is clear that the Kuwait Investment Authority has reduced its shares, it could cause the share price of BP to collapse quickly.
All kinds of information are taken together, and then you can see the stock trading volume of BP Oil, which is pitiful. Tang Bao understood that this might be the calm before the storm, as for when it would erupt. It may only take a small fuse to detonate completely.
Suddenly.
Tang Bao slammed up from his seat without warning, hurriedly packed up his books, and stuffed them into his school bag. He hurried out of the library.
"Hey, Don, you left so early tonight." As soon as he walked to the door of the library, John happened to meet Tang Bao who rushed out of it, so he greeted him with a smile.
"Hi John."
Tang Bao was also surprised to meet John.
"Don, I have a friend who has a birthday tonight, do you have time to come over and celebrate together?" With that, there was an expectant look in John's eyes.
Let's be honest.
John is in the library today. That is, I want to invite Tang Bao.
"Uh...... John. I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry...... You see...... Well, please send your blessings to your friends on my behalf. Happy birthday to him. Tang Bao had an apologetic look in his eyes, he and John got along very well, and they were one of his most familiar friends at Columbia. If he had time, he would never turn down his invitation.
"That's ......"
Hearing that Tang Bao didn't have time to participate, John's eyes showed a look of disappointment, but he had promised it. I will definitely be able to invite Tang Bao over.
John's loss naturally did not escape Tang Bao's eyes. But he really didn't have time, and at the same time, he wondered why John invited him to John's friend's birthday party.
Tang Bao said apologetically again: "I'm sorry, John, I have something urgent and have to go." After saying that, Tang Bao left in a hurry......
Headquarters of Phoenix Investment Group.
"Horst!"
Tang Bao knocked lightly on the door, walked into Horst's office, and said.
"Boss."
Horst was very surprised to see Tang Bao come in. If he remembers correctly, since Tang Bao returned to the United States, he has only been to Phoenix Investment Group once. "Boss, do you have anything to order?" Since Horst officially took over the Phoenix Investment Group, Tang Bao rarely appeared, and every time he took the initiative to appear, it was with a very clear purpose.
Tang Bao looked at Horst with a smile and said, "Hehe, can't I come and see if it's okay." ”
"Absolutely. This is your company, and it's okay for you to come and inspect it anytime. But it seems like you never pay attention to these ......"
"That's because you're here, I don't worry, I don't think there's any need to stare here every day!" Tang Bao explained with a smile that for Phoenix Investment Group, he only needs to grasp the general direction, and there is no need to do everything himself. After casually chatting a few words, Tang Bao went straight to the point.
"Horst, find me five trustworthy elite traders in the company, pay attention, you must be innocent, do not have any bad habits, gambling, alcoholism, debts, drug abuse, lax mouth and other vices are excluded. Well, I want to be absolutely innocent and self-disciplined! ”
Tang Bao said solemnly.
Hear the words.
Horst's spirit was shocked, and he said in surprise: "Boss, there must be some big moves." After getting acquainted with Tang Bao, Horst was also much more casual.
Before.
He decided not to ask such a question......
"This time I seconded people. It has nothing to do with Phoenix Investment Group......" Tang Bao shook his head and smiled, he knew why Horst was surprised.
But.
This time it is indeed not suitable to show the figure of Phoenix Investment Group.
"Oh."
Horst was a little disappointed.
"Go ahead, hurry up and pick someone for me." Tang Bao urged.
"Yes. Boss! By the way, in addition to the above requirements, do you need to put forward any special requirements, such as the technical level of the operation? ”
"If all the conditions are met. Naturally, the stronger the technology, the better. Oh, and this time it might take a little longer, at least a few months away. You look at the arrangement yourself......"
"Got it!"
Horst nodded. Then he left in a hurry and picked someone for Tang Bao.
……
……
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Tang Bao sat bored in Horst's boss's chair, constantly turning the signature pen in his hand, waiting patiently.
Click.
The door to the office was opened.
Horst returned and said, "Boss, you've got it all." They're all waiting at the door, do you want to meet them? ”
"Hmm."
Tang Bao nodded.
Horst beckoned to the door. Signal for someone outside the door to come in.
"Huh?"
When he saw the first person, Tang Bao couldn't help but be surprised.
"Boss, I'm ......"
Yang Yang saw Tang Bao staring at him, and couldn't help but bow his head in shame. In the gold futures trading he led, hundreds of millions of dollars were lost.
At this time.
Seeing Tang Bao, who promoted him to be the supervisor, he inevitably felt a little guilty.
"Boss, Yang Yang is also an ordinary trader now, and his ability is absolutely top-notch, so he took the initiative to join in this time!" Horst explained.
"Hmm."
As for Yang Yang's performance, he had witnessed it in the battle of shorting crude oil futures at the beginning, and his ability was absolutely inadequate.
"Whew...... Forget about the past, no one can guarantee a win or a loss. Just hope you learn the lesson from this time. Don't repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
Tang Bao looked at Yang Yang, who lowered his head, and said with a light smile.
"Yes, boss."
In fact. He was very apprehensive when he came to see Tang Bao, but he was very excited when he saw that Tang Bao did not blame, but kept encouraging him.
Horst also nodded secretly, happy for Yang Yang.
Yang Yang is an excellent trader, but since he broke into gold futures trading. After resigning as the head of the futures trading department, he became depressed day by day. At the same time, I feel a little regretful. This time, Tang Bao selected people, and Horst was the first to think of him, hoping that Yang Yang could take advantage of this opportunity to offset his merits and regain the boss's reuse.
"The opportunity is given to you, whether you can seize it again depends on your own performance." Horst said to himself.
Soon.
Horst stopped thinking about Yang Yang, pointed to the other four traders, and introduced them separately: "Boss, they are Leger, Gallaron, Grafton, and Levi. Including Yang Yang, they all meet all the requirements of the boss and have excellent ability! And all five of them are single, living alone in New York, even if they participate in a long period of closed action, there is no problem. ”
Tang Bao smiled and nodded, satisfied with Horst's thoughtful consideration. "Well, the five of you apply directly to the company for a three-month vacation. Just leave the phone and wait for my orders. ”
……
"Horst, BP Oil's share price is likely to be volatile lately. But without my permission, Phoenix Investment Group should not get involved. Send Yang Yang and the others away, Tang Bao said solemnly. He was afraid that Horst couldn't resist the temptation to rush into the field.
"Okay."
Horst replied dryly, and suddenly understood in his heart what Tang Bao was going to do with five traders.
……
Then.
Some institutions on Wall Street with a keen sense of smell have locked their eyes on the shares of BP Oil, and some are inquiring about the news. These institutions are like sharks that smell blood, constantly surrounding, ready to hunt their own food.
"Hey!"
"It's time." There was only such an inexplicable sentence on the phone, and he hung up directly.
Hey.
Harrison waited for the news he wanted, smiled reassuringly, gently put down the phone, and then shouted to the waiting traders, "The plan begins!" Traders immediately rushed to their posts and began to carry out the plans that had already been laid out.
……
In a VIP trading room.
Tang Bao and Yang Yang and other five traders are also in place.
"From today onwards, you must all stay here and have no contact with the outside world until the end of the operation." Tang Bao looked around at everyone and said. (To be continued) R466
