**********
On the 27th, after Hurricane Katrina entered the Gulf of Mexico, it turned southward and was getting closer and closer to the continental United States, and there was no intention of returning to the continental United States.
At this time, some offshore oil fields near the Mexican side were not affected by Hurricane Katrina and were still operating normally.
At this time, many Wall Street elites have begun to celebrate each other, and in their opinion, this time they have won the bet again, and it is time to go to the market to shear sheep.
As soon as the market opened in the morning, the number of short orders was smashed, and the price of oil futures, which was still around $65, turned around and plummeted, all the way to $64.
At this time, Brian and other traders were a little green, they started a few days ago when the market price was $68, and the price was only higher than $68, and some even opened to a high of $70.
You must know that since the end of the Iraq war in February this year, the price of world oil futures has fallen all the way from the highest of more than 70 US dollars, and there is no intention of rushing to 70 US dollars at all.
If it weren't for the boss's madness, they wouldn't have opened such a crazy long order, and now the market situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the price of oil futures has been suppressed to about $64, and looking at today's momentum, the price of $64 may not be guaranteed.
It seems that in a few days, everyone will really have to go out again to find a job, and the ambition when he joined this company may be in vain at this time.
Now the market price is about 64 US dollars, and they have opened high-priced orders of more than 68 or even 70 US dollars, if they do not fill this hole, they will have to be forced to close their positions, and more than 1 billion US dollars will turn into a beautiful big bubble. They really don't know what their boss thinks.
Could it be that this guy is really crazy with a lot of money, and likes to throw money into the water to listen to the sound?
But according to the current market. He just wanted to hear the sound. I can't even hear it!
And Jin Xiaoqiang, who was sitting in the office on the second floor, was still a Taishan collapsed in front of him. I don't move. There were still no instructions.
Yesterday, he also asked Brian and them to sweep away a lot of empty orders, but fortunately, Brian and they were clever enough to not use up all the 400 million quota, and left about 200 million quota.
Now he has about 500 million available funds in his hand, if these 500 million are not enough to add to today's hole, then he may really only have to cry.
In fact, Jin Xiaoqiang only remembered that this year's Hurricane Katrina would cause huge damage to the United States, and he only remembered that this hurricane formed on August 23 and landed in the United States on August 25. Then it will cause huge economic damage to the United States, cause huge damage to the oil market and financial markets, and completely destroy Orleans, and hit the offshore oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
But he really doesn't remember exactly when it landed in New Orleans and hit an offshore oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
After all, in his previous life, he was not a financial professional, so he didn't remember those data very clearly.
This is also the reason why he did not dare to make a move on the world oil futures market a long time ago, and he only dared to wait until Hurricane Katrina was about to form and before landing in the United States.
But he didn't expect that after this hurricane landed in the United States, it turned around and returned from land to the ocean, which he really didn't expect.
So it has also caused such a passive situation today, now he only has 500 million funds in his hands, and he doesn't know if he can withstand today, if he can't withstand it, then he will really lose all his pants.
But he firmly believes that this hurricane will return, and God will not really keep America forever.
So after seeing the market situation clearly this morning, he immediately called Nick and used their Huayang Power to borrow one billion dollars from GM as a reserve fund for all the profits and dividends in the United States this year and next year.
And Nick. Reilly and the others also took the opportunity to make a lot of unreasonable demands, of course, the premise is that in September, Jin Xiaoqiang can't pay back the money. …,
These guys really have a hand at robbing while the fire is hot, but Jin Xiaoqiang is not worried at all, because he knows his ability, and he also knows the ability of Hurricane Katrina.
Finally, after paying a billion dollars and keeping his position, he finally ended today's fight.
However, Brian and the others are still not optimistic about Jin Xiaoqiang's plan, and now in their opinion, their boss is definitely a complete fool, this guy is still stiff at this time.
Although I don't know where this guy got the money again, everyone is convinced that if the situation does not improve tomorrow, their boss will definitely die an ugly death.
And this Thunderbird venture capital company may also become one of the shortest-lived financial investment companies in American history, losing 3 billion yuan in less than a month after its establishment, and then closing down.
Some people have even decided that in the future, they will never write about their experience of working in Thunderbird on their resumes, after all, this company is really embarrassing.
Their boss, who may really be a genius when it comes to designing cars, is a real fool when it comes to financial investment.
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't know what they were thinking, and he didn't care what they were thinking, what he was thinking about now was when this hurricane would really sweep across the southeast coast of the United States......
On the morning of the 29th, Hurricane Katrina still did not dissipate, and was rapidly approaching the Mexican coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
Everyone knows what this means, but in the Gulf of Mexico, close to Mexico, there are countless oil rigs of American oil companies.
Once Katrina attacked somewhere, then...... So...... Then the empty orders that everyone has sent out for many days are dying!
Immediately, it turned out that the short side of the short order was still full of energy, and at this time there was a cry, wailing all over the field, and everyone began to prepare to turn the gun head, to do long in the market, and there were many orders on the market before, how many to me, how much to sweep.
And this morning, the atmosphere in the office area on the first floor of the Thunderbird company, it seems a little weird, the traders are a little silent, the situation suddenly came to a big reversal, although it has not yet begun, but the market is no longer as crazy as yesterday, and even seems a little weird.
Although the flip has not yet begun, many people have already smelled that something is wrong.
At noon, reports were sent back from the front that Hurricane Katrina had hit offshore drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico near the U.S. side, and several U.S. oil companies such as Mobil, Decuse, and Gulf Oil had suffered certain losses on their drilling platforms in this area......
After the opening of the afternoon market, the atmosphere of the oil futures market was different, and all kinds of investment banks and investment institutions, large and small, were red-eyed, full of energy, and charged upward.
More orders on the market, how many will sweep for me, before everyone has put a lot of empty orders out, if you can't recover the loss on these multiple orders, then everyone will only cry.
In just a few minutes, the price of oil futures, which was still below $64, rushed up like an aphrodisiac.
The market that fluctuated in the tens of cents a few days ago is no longer visible, and now it is as if the price of oil futures was like drinking Red Bull when the US-Iraq war was just beginning.
And the employees of Thunderbird Company, when they saw such a situation, were also like taking aphrodisiacs and drinking Red Bull, screaming loudly in the operation room below.
It's developed, this time it's really developed, this boss is really wise and martial, he really dares to block, there is a kind, no wonder people say that people who can succeed are paranoid, it turns out to be reasonable!
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't know that in such a few minutes, he had already been possessed by divine light, and he was crowned with so many mysterious halos by the employees below.
Brian and the others broke into Jin Xiaoqiang's office with a face full of ecstasy.
"Boss, what are we going to do next, don't we still have 500 million dollars in our hands? Are we going to continue to go long? ”
The situation has become clear, although it has not yet been reported, how many oil mining platforms have been attacked in the Gulf of Mexico, but even if only one has been attacked, this is enough to cause panic in the oil futures market, and now is a good time to chase after the victory.
"Stupid, haven't we done enough of this? Hurry up and short the three major stock indexes for me, hurry! ”
Jin Xiaoqiang yelled at this Brian with a smile, although this guy was very unstable before, he was still decent, and he could admonish himself at a critical time, and he was a trustworthy employee.
"Oops! Yes, boss! ”|
Brian slapped his head, as if he remembered something, and then turned around and walked out of Jin Xiaoqiang's office, at this time he already had absolute trust in Jin Xiaoqiang.
Billions of big bets, he dares to bet, and he wins, such a boss doesn't believe it, so which one should he believe?
However, the boss's brain is fast enough, but is it a bit too early to short sell the three major stock indexes? You know, it's just a few drilling rigs lost, and the hurricane hasn't returned to land, so isn't it a bit too hasty to short the three major stock indexes?
After all, those few drilling rigs can't have such a big impact on the economic index of the United States?
Forget it, he's the boss, and he says how to do it, and he does it!
