Chapter 47: Katarina
In 2004, with the war in Iraq, the price of crude oil in the world fluctuated, breaking the price of 55 yuan per barrel twice, and Shaanna lost about 300 million US dollars, which is the largest means of trading except foreign exchange, and such a loss in the futures market cannot afford to splash at all.
Wang An knows very well that this is actually his reason, Sha Anna is not good at using financial leverage for high-risk investment, but because Wang An said that she is self-aware of being cautious about the futures market, this makes this woman want to prove something, but as always, in the end, Wang An is not wrong, she really can't.
At the end of June 2005, the price of crude oil futures in the New York market exceeded $60, and at this time, a large amount of money had entered the market, and soon by the end of July, the futures price in the New York market set a new record in the Asian trading session, reaching a record of $70.
Sha Anna then left safely, completely making up for last year's losses, and making even more amazing profits, but Sha Anna was not very happy, because it was thanks to Wang An's vision and expectations.
"Your investment in the social networking service is obviously much better than your performance in the futures market, especially since you were able to invest $20 million in Facebook instead of ElPartners, the founder of this social networking site is a person who will be very wary of venture capital, although I am very optimistic about the prospects of this website, and it is even your most far-sighted investment at the moment, but I don't think you will be able to take control in the end. That young man named Zabberg isn't going to make it easy for you to use the same tricks on other Internet companies just because you're a beautiful half-breed. ”
Paying attention to the financial market is just a learning method for Sha Anna, and the tuition fees she pays are staggering, and in the end she may not gain anything, but Wang An does not mind, if a person does everything with the ultimate goal of obtaining profits, then what is the fun of such a life? Doing something can be for yourself, for others, and even for a great starting point, such as for the country and the people, so that even if you fail in the end, the process and mood, as well as the feeling of the final outcome, will be different.
Wang An pays attention to the income of Sha Anna's various investment projects, and is more concerned about her growth, as for how much she has shrunk his account and the assets she manages, Wang An will not care, it will take a long time.
"Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Florida the other day, and you may have realized that this hurricane will cause some damage to the already sluggish economy of the United States, but don't underestimate the extent of the damage, the price of crude oil will continue to soar, again exceeding $70 a barrel. In this case, Bush's political axe will most likely use the strategic petroleum reserves, and the international energy structure will also urge member countries to put millions of barrels of crude oil on the market every day, and then the price of crude oil futures will fall. Of course, most importantly, I want you to stay away from places like Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida, and your safety is the best news I want to get. ”
In a country like the United States with a high crime rate and fierce social and racial conflicts, once such a catastrophe occurs, large-scale burning, looting and forcible crimes are almost completely predictable, Wang An doesn't want his little maid to fall into it, because as a high-profile socialite, Sha Anna will probably also participate in those show-like charity activities, aid and donation can be, as for personally going into battle for disaster relief, it is hopelessly stupid, For a hundred dollars, she can hire someone to do a job that is several times more efficient than if she had to rescue herself.
After replying to the work email, Wang An began to pay attention to the teacher's message that Sha Anna had said.
Her name was Caterina, the same name as the hurricane, and she was also a famous female pirate of the 18th century. Caterina is a personal disciple of hand-to-hand combat master Lanstaro, and her teacher is more mysterious Katarina, she promised to come to China to teach my junior brother in person, but she doesn't see anyone except junior brother, so I hope you don't go to the temptation and contact with her, believe in your faithful maid, Caterina will definitely be a good teacher, as for teachers in other projects, I am looking for, to satisfy you with teachers, it is not so easy to find. ”
Wang An has never heard of any Lanstaro, let alone any mysterious Katarina, but it is normal for these people to be mysterious in their behavior, ordinary people are always more curious about unknown things, and it is easier for them to maintain respect, which is very important for these "masters", which is related to their reputation, reputation and appearance price.
Sha Anna didn't provide Wang An with much information about Katarina, height, age, surname, background, etc., but Wang An has nothing to worry about, if even Sha Anna can't be trusted, then he will still be his own primary school student honestly, and then play with the princess all day long, worrying about Wang Xiaomo's various nonsense.
After replying to Sha Anna's email, Wang An went to Wang Xiaomo's room to sleep.
Although Wang Xiaomo is energetic and plays outside every day, but since she no longer runs around barefoot, she has begun to pay attention to the cleanliness of her clothes and the tidiness of the room.
Wang An couldn't help but think of another little girl, in the raging fire, she was actually paying attention to the last step of the experiment, and then recorded her observations, Wang An couldn't imagine that someone could be so involved in what he was doing, he even doubted that his memory would be wrong, if he didn't save her, how could she survive the fire, and then become a famous Nobel Prize?
Now she should be able to continue her research quietly, for her, the laboratory is her world, Wang An can't help but think that it is normal for her to not know that he is dead, this may not surprise him too much, after all, she never cares about things outside her laboratory, no one tells her, she will not inquire-
Everyone should collect books when they read, remember to collect them.
