Chapter 654: Knowing Yourself and Knowing Your Enemy

"Boss, this is our performance report after entering 2006, you can take a look at it first."

Barbara, an intellectual mature woman, put a thick performance report and the operation report of the company's assets in front of Jin Xiaoqiang, Jin Xiaoqiang picked up the thick report, nodded at the intellectual beauty, and Barbara walked out of Jin Xiaoqiang's office very interestingly.

There was only Alice in the room who hadn't seen her for more than half a year, Brian and Huang Guotao came to the company just now, and after coming in and meeting Jin Xiaoqiang roughly, they went out, the natural gas market has fluctuated a lot recently, and they, as supervisors, must go out and stare at it.

Since the establishment of this Thunderbird company, Alice has been helping Jin Xiaoqiang keep an eye on this company in the United States, and Alice, as her agent in this Thunderbird company, can be said to know the company's operation well.

It's just that because Alice couldn't meet Jin Xiaoqiang for a long time, her expression looked a little resentful, and Jin Xiaoqiang felt a little flustered when he saw Alice's expression.

Of course he knows this woman's affection for him, to be honest, as an old hero who has been by his side since the grassroots development, Alice should now grow up to be his right-hand man, and her help for his career development, Jin Xiaoqiang is of course clear.

So over the years, whenever the company pays dividends at the end of the year, Jin Xiaoqiang has never owed Alice, and the dividends he gave her can even be regarded as the highest in the company, but he knows that this is still not enough, because he owes her not only money things, but also those ambiguous feelings......

But is he who is already engaged to Erliumei, is he really going to have such an inexplicable relationship?

A successful man who is out there from time to time. Jin Xiaoqiang is acceptable, but he started two relationships at the same time. I regret that Jin Xiaoqiang, who is still quite traditional in his bones. It's still a little hard to accept.

He didn't know if he would hurt Liu Mei and Alice by doing this, and these two women both occupied a very important place in his life. He didn't want to hurt both of them all at once......

Jin Xiaoqiang deliberately pretended to read a report, but did not raise his head to look at Alice. Alice also knew his difficulties, so she could only sigh and walk out of the room......

Jin Xiaoqiang held his breath and stared. It took more than ten minutes. I concentrated my mind and focused all my attention on the report in front of me.

Barbara is worthy of being the director of the company's accounting department, doing things in an orderly manner, managing every data on the report in an orderly manner, even a layman in accounting like Jin Xiaoqiang quickly grasped the theme of the whole report.

Last year, the company experienced the opportunity of Hurricane Katrina at the beginning of its founding. and the big opportunity for natural gas prices to skyrocket at the end of the year, it is a big profit in the capital market.

The company's capital was borrowed from a bank by pledging Google shares. In addition, the billion dollars that were later dismantled from GM expanded to about $4.9 billion in one fell swoop.

Later, Jin Xiaoqiang withdrew two billion dollars from the company's capital and returned it to the bank, redeemed the shares of Google that were mortgaged to the bank, and then returned the one billion dollars that were dismantled from General Motors.

At that time, he still had $1.9 billion on hand, and by the beginning of 2006, as the natural gas market had stabilized, the company was in a position to keep a low profile, and there was not much movement in the market.

But later, as the actions of the Amarans company in the natural gas market increased day by day, in the first six months, Brian followed the explanation of following the footsteps of Amarans as explained by Jin Xiaoqiang, and also quietly operated a few times in the natural gas market, and followed Amarans to eat some meat, drink a few mouthfuls of soup, and make a lot of money. …,

At present, the company's available funds have reached about 2.5 billion US dollars.

Being able to make a profit of nearly one-fifth in a few months, Jin Xiaoqiang feels very satisfied, it seems that Brian, and Huang Guotao are still very obedient, and in general, the two of them are holding each other back, and he is still very satisfied with the contribution to the company over the past year.

And because they can keep a low profile, the current market attention to their Thunderbird company is not too high, which is also in line with their idea of keeping a low profile and hiding behind the scenes to make money.

Of course, during this time, the reason why Thunderbird was so low-key, and it can even be said that it was completely ignored by the news media, is also related to the frequent actions of another company that performs crazy in the natural gas market, Amarans.

From a few years ago, Amarans was in their chief trader, Brian. Led by Hunter in the natural gas market is a flurry of action, this and the chief trader of Thunderbird, Brian. Hunter's namesake guy is currently the most famous gambler in the financial capital market.

Although they are all called Brian. Hunter is the Brian of Amarans. Hunter and Brian of the Thunderbird Company. Hunter's personality is very different.

Amarans's Hunter, his actions in the financial market can be said to be very bold, and it is not even too much to describe it as crazy, but Bryan of Thunderbird Company has become very stable under Jin Xiaoqiang's training for more than a year, and the most important thing is that he is very obedient, even to the point where Jin Xiaoqiang's words are the first to look forward, which makes Jin Xiaoqiang feel very satisfied.

Perhaps it was because of the sweetness that Bryan of Amarans tasted in last year's gamble, so since the beginning of this year, their actions in the gas market can be said to be very frequent.

And under the influence of his reputation as a natural gas sniper and the aura of last year's great success, many investment institutions have also followed him.

Therefore, driven by huge sums of money, the natural gas market in the first four months of the years can be said to be almost completely distorted by huge sums of money, and the production of many oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico has been restored, but the domestic gas price in the United States has not fallen.

In the first four months of the year, Amarans continued to soar in the natural gas market with his huge amount of money, superstition about Brian and Hunt's trading ability, and people's fear of natural disasters such as hurricanes.

For the first four months of the years, Amarans was in Brian. Under Hunt's leadership, he made two billion dollars in the natural gas market.

This kind of profitability efficiency is indeed worth making many investment banks and funds blush, and even Morgan Stanley and the San Diego Pension Fund Association have begun to be involved, and they have opened their pockets to provide ammunition to Amarans.

In the first half of the past few years, the company also made a lot of money in the capital market in accordance with Jin Xiaoqiang's instructions to follow Amarans's instructions.

But in the capital market, there has always been a win and a loss, and there will never be a winning general, and Jin Xiaoqiang was not a financial expert in his last life, and his memory of Amarans was just a whim in his previous life, and he consulted some of Amarans's information.

So in this life, he only remembers some general development trends of the Amarans Company, but as for the specific context and details, he is not very clear.

So there was the company's loss in May, it turned out that in the first four months of this year, Brian and Huang Guotao, the two of them, according to Jin Xiaoqiang's instructions, were following the pace of Amarans and making moves in the natural gas market. …,

In the first four months, Amarans made two billion dollars in the capital market, and they also made a lot of money, but in May, Amarans' Brian, because he was too greedy and too stubborn, finally lost another billion dollars in this market.

And the Thunderbird Company, which is closely following the pace of Amarans, also lost money during this time period in May.

Fortunately, Alice was more witty, and when she saw that the market was not right, she hurriedly called Jin Xiaoqiang, and Jin Xiaoqiang called Brian and Huang Guotao again, asking them to release their positions in time, which reduced their losses.

Otherwise, the Amarans family has a big business, and people can afford to lose money, but the Thunderbird company has thin arms and thin legs, and it is impossible to burp all of a sudden by this market.

Although under Jin Xiaoqiang's reminder, Thunderbird escaped in time from the stock market disaster in May, but it was still forced to cut a lot of meat, and at least half of the profits earned in the first four months of the year were all lost in the May market.

So after the time entered June, the atmosphere within the company was more solemn, because after all, last month, the company's first loss since its establishment, so Brian and Huang Guotao's confidence was a little frustrated, plus they had been operating in accordance with Jin Xiaoqiang's instructions before, Jin Xiaoqiang did not have any clear instructions recently, and the two of them were really a little confused for a while, and they didn't know where was their next clear goal.

After reading this year's performance report in his hand, Jin Xiaoqiang had a trace of laugh lines on his mouth, and then he rang the phone on the table and said to Alice outside.

"Alice, did you figure out the person I asked you to investigate?"

"Yes, boss, I've figured it out."

"Okay, bring in the materials......"

After a while, the door of Jin Xiaoqiang's office was pushed open, and then a figure with Nana walked up to his desk and put another thick document bag on Jin Xiaoqiang's desk.

"Boss, you want information. Hee-hee, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! ”
