"Boss, what are we going to do next?"
Brian was in Jin Xiaoqiang's office, looking at Jin Xiaoqiang with a smile on his face and asked.
During this time, he was very happy to work in Thunderbird, and the boss gave him full trust, and after pointing out the general direction to him, he let him operate.
You know, that's billions of dollars?
When did he get such trust when he worked in other investment banks before? Billions of funds are at his disposal, and after the boss shows him the direction, he leaves it alone and completely lets himself do it.
This feeling is really good, and he did not live up to the trust of the boss, helping the boss to win gold and silver in the natural gas market, although in the end the boss ordered to withdraw from the market, which made him feel a little dissatisfied, but looking at the dazzling numbers in the company's account, he still felt very comfortable.
Although the profits in the past few months have not been as much as in the short days after Hurricane Katrina, I am afraid that many stockbrokers may not be able to make a profit in a lifetime if they can make a profit of 1.2 billion in a few months.
This transaction alone is enough for him to be proud of for a lifetime.
Now that the boss is flying back to New York, Brian is curious to know what the boss will do next.
After the boss came, everyone in the company was smiling, since Christmas, everyone is discussing how much year-end bonus can be obtained, but the company has been slow to act, many people are worried, what is the company playing ideas, is it such an excellent job, the boss does not plan to give everyone bonuses?
But all the suspicions were shattered after Jin Xiaoqiang arrived, first of all, everyone's account was divided into a figure that was enough to satisfy everyone.
The least is more than 100,000 or 200,000 dollars, and company executives like Brian, Huang Guotao, and Barbara have each received at least millions of bonuses.
And the boss also brought hundreds of Huayang power cars very intimately, the best Qoros series of high-end sedans are also at the level of Yidong, the company does not count one, almost even the cleaners in the company have each been assigned a car.
Although the United States is a country of automobiles, and it is nothing new for everyone to own a car, the boss is so generous that he actually awards everyone a $350,000 car, such a thoughtful act cannot but move everyone.
What's more, many models of Huayang Power have always been on sale in the United States, and even if you go to the PS store to order a car, it will take a long time to get the car.
So the sincerity of the boss still makes many people feel full of sincerity, but Brian is not very interested in these things, he is only interested in what the boss's next plan is, and when they will be able to enter the market to stir up trouble.
"Next, let's rest for a while, there is no special plan."
Jin Xiaoqiang said to Brian with a smile.
"What? Boss, that's billions of dollars, and we're just giving up? Is it a waste to put so much money out there? ”
As a veritable capital animal, Brian felt very indignant at the boss's behavior, so much money was put in the account, what did the boss want to do?
"Haha, okay! And Brian, tell me, if you have at your disposal this money, what are you going to invest in that area next? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang asked Brian with a smile, this guy is really a straight gut. …,
"Well, boss, the oil futures market is very hot now, and Katrina has become a thing of the past, and the U.S. government no longer has an excuse to intervene in the market, so we might as well make some long-term investments in the oil market, although the profit may not be as high as these times, but why not do profitable trading?"
Brian is still obsessed with the oil market, after all, the plate is much larger than the natural gas market.
"No, Brian is not the time yet, we don't have that long to waste time in the oil market."
Jin Xiaoqiang rejected Brian's proposal, Brian is not stupid, hearing Jin Xiaoqiang say this, he knows that Jin Xiaoqiang must have determined the next plan, and he has full trust in the boss.
I have worked with Jin Xiaoqiang twice, and these two times under the command of Jin Xiaoqiang, they can be said to be invincible, and almost none of the ideas that popped out of Jin Xiaoqiang's mind were wrong, so he can be said to have great trust in Jin Xiaoqiang's judgment.
"Hehe, Brian, you've only noticed ourselves, but don't you think that someone has made more money than us in this natural gas investment?"
Jin Xiaoqiang asked Brian with a smile.
"Well, I also know it, boss, which company are you talking about?"
Brian seemed to think of something for a moment, and then immediately reacted, it is true that there is a company that makes more money than them in this gas speculation.
And this company is the Amarans, this company is not small, it was originally a small branch of the Paloma Fund spun off from the fund in the year, specializing in strategic trading.
At the beginning of the establishment of this small company, it was just a scene of a dozen people with seven or eight guns, a total of 27 employees, and the total assets in control were only 4Bd dollars.
But in just a few years, the company has grown rapidly into a superpowerhouse, and by the beginning of this year, the company's total capital had climbed to $9.5 billion.
And the reason why this company can grow so fast and double its capital so much depends on the fluttering in the field of natural gas futures.
And they were able to achieve such a big thing in the field of natural gas thanks to their company's top trader, Brian. Hunter!
This Brian. Hunter is an out-and-out gambler, his favorite market is the natural gas market, and the reason why Amarans has been able to achieve such explosive growth can be said to be inseparable from his success in the natural gas market.
And in the disasters and opportunities that Hurricane Katrina brings, this Brian. Hunter is even more of a jackpot, he uses hedge funds, and then regardless of the way to expand leverage, in the natural gas market is a big eat, this natural gas price explosion in the Thunderbird company only made a profit of 1.2 billion US dollars, but this guy led his group, in this crisis to make billions of profits.
So in this gas crisis, the most eye-catching thing is their Amarans company instead of Jin Xiaoqiang's Thunderbird company, but there is such a company in front of the wind and rain, and he eats meat and drinks soup in a low-key manner, Jin Xiaoqiang is also very satisfied.
Brian also knows something about this super player with the same name as him, and in this gas crisis, Amarans' Brian is in the limelight with his team, so of course Brian knows that his company still has the name of that guy.
"That's right, Brian, I'm talking about this company, and I've been watching them lately. What about you? How much do you know about them? ”…,
Jin Xiaoqiang asked Brian to arrive.
"That Brian. I've heard of Hunter's name, that guy is a true madman, his trading methods are crazy, and if he hadn't caught such a good opportunity this time, that guy would have lost his pants sooner or later. ”
Apparently Brian was very disdainful of the guy with his name.
"You're right, that guy is a gambler, he's a madman, so I'm giving you the task of keeping an eye on that Brian during this time. Hunter figured out his every move. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang said to Brian with a smile, and Brian's eyes lit up when he heard Jin Xiaoqiang say this.
"What? Boss, are we going to snipe Amaranth? ”
"No, I didn't say that......"
Jin Xiaoqiang's smile is very interesting, Brian obviously knows what Jin Xiaoqiang is thinking, this time Amarans is full of oil, although their Thunderbird company has also made a lot of money, but compared with other Amarants, it can only be said to be a small thing.
If Jin Xiaoqiang is eyeing this Brian. Hunter then based himself on this Brian. Hunter's understanding is that it is really not impossible to take a bite of meat from this guy, after all, that guy is crazy.
Many of his trading methods, in the eyes of outsiders, are completely gambling, but so far, this bastard's luck is really good, at least so far, he has not lost much, which makes Brian, who has the same name as him, feel very unhappy.
Brian took the command, and then turned around and walked out of his office in a hurry, while Jin Xiaoqiang leisurely crossed his legs, put his whole body flat on his senior chair, and began to think freely.
Brian.
Hunter, but it's really a character, this guy has the same gambling nature as Yamamoto fifty-six, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, God can favor you once or twice, but he can't always favor you for a lifetime, but unfortunately this truth, this guy doesn't understand, otherwise he wouldn't be so easy to match the huge amount of money.
In my last life, on the anniversary of the disaster of Hurricane Katrina, the news of the collapse of Amarans came from the United States, which caused an international shock.
Jin Xiaoqiang has also seen some news about the collapse of the Amarans Fund on TV, although he is not a professional in the financial industry, but he is also quite interested in such financial gossip, so he also has a general understanding of the collapse process of Amarans.
However, in his previous life, he just regarded this incident as a strange thing or a joke, and he didn't take it too seriously, but he didn't expect that in this life, this incident would become a good opportunity for him to make a fortune.
This Brian. Hunter has been in a good fortune lately, first making a lot of money from gas speculation at the end of last year, and then he is a little flustered.
At the beginning of this year, this guy was even more speculative in natural gas, intending to make the price of natural gas even higher.
However, after February, the price of natural gas began to fall because some of the U.S. natural gas production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico have recovered, and the winter is gone, and the weather is no longer the most important factor affecting natural gas prices.
And Brian at this time. Hunter's team has lost billions of dollars, but this guy is a gambler, and he is not willing to fail.
He smashed the remaining six billion US dollars in the fund into the natural gas market, and it was under the smashing of such a large amount of money that the small characteristics of the natural gas market itself leaked out, and under the promotion of such a large amount of money, the price of natural gas began to soar, and other speculators also followed up with investment, so that Brian went from losing billions of dollars to making billions of profits in the end, and once again maintained his reputation as a gambling god, and also made a lot of money. …,
It's a pity that this success also created his final madness, after this profit, this guy not only did not see the good but also reaped, but intensified.
At the end of August and the beginning of September, he estimated that hurricanes like Hurricane Katrina would hit the United States again in a few years and destroy the drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, so he bet heavily on the idea that the price of natural gas would rise.
As a result, this time the goddess of fate did not patronize him again, and when the hurricane he expected in September did not come as promised, the price of natural gas began to fall, and a large amount of money began to flee the market in parts.
But this Brian. Hunter is still insisting on his opinion, not only did he not withdraw his investment, but he also increased his investment, intending to gamble with fate again.
As a result, this shop not only made Amarans close his doors in the end, but also made him lose his underwear......
By mid-September, they had not only lost all the money they had won from the natural gas market, but also lost all the billions of dollars they had mobilized from elsewhere.
In the end, Amarans, who couldn't hold on, had to choose the fate of being acquired, and Brian. Hunter has also become synonymous with a gambler and a laughing stock in the eyes of others.
For this Brian. Of course, Hunter Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't feel sorry for him, but he doesn't want to miss the opportunity he brought to himself because of this guy's paranoia.
Amarans has just made a lot of money from the natural gas market, and he will make a lot of money in the future, of course he will do such a follow-up transaction, but when he is about to breathe, it does not prevent him from going up with the other predators to bury him.
