War! The war has broken out! Iraq invades Kuwait!

The screen of the TV is cancelled! The radio signal is interrupted! Freshly printed newspapers take down the headlines and wait for the front-page headlines again!

Ladies and gentlemen, here's the latest news: On August 2, at 22:30 London time and 2 a.m. Baghdad time, Iraq attacked Kuwait and the troops had crossed the border! For more information, please listen to the report sent back by our reporter from Baghdad......

'Listeners, here's the latest news: Iraq launched an ......attack on Kuwait at 6:30 p.m. New York time, 2 a.m. Baghdad time.'

Bombshells have woken up New York, London, Tokyo, Frankfurt...... Everyone in the stock exchange, everyone rushed to the computer, frantically tapping on the keyboard.

“Shit!****! Shit!****!……’

‘Merde，merde! Merde，merde!……’

'お母さん、狗の糞......'

‘Schei?e，schei?e！ ……’

People of all races were swearing in a variety of languages, their eyes were red as they stared at the computer screen, their fingers tapping on the keyboard as if they were cramping.

“Shit!****! Shit!****!……’

‘Merde，merde! Merde，merde!……’

'お母さん、狗の糞......'

‘Schei?e，schei?e！ ……’

Finally someone started smashing the keyboard, the screen was full of long orders, a lot of long orders, there was no empty order at all, there was no one, and it was impossible to open a position at all! The calm people began to lament, the excited people began to curse Saddam Hussein for not declaring war, and those who did not dare to go to war with Saddam Hussein were dead-faced. Some financial institutions with strong backgrounds and good relations with major international media are celebrating with champagne.

'Mygod, mygod, he's a madman! ’

‘???????，???????，????????????！ (Allah, Saddam Hussein is crazy!) ）’

'Anote, フセインはばか (God, Saddam Hussein is a bastard)'

‘MonDieu，j‘adoreSaddam，Jeluisouhaitetoujoursenbonnesanté! (God, I love Saddam Hussein, and I wish him eternal health!) ’

……

Viewers and listeners were stunned when they heard the hot news on TV and radio, oh my God, today is not April Fool's Day, right?

United States:

'Mygod!, did I hear me right?' ’

'No, I heard that, too. Brother, where are Iraq and Kuwait? Africa or Asia? Far from us in the United States? ’

'Bot, go to the airport, we're back to base!' Oh God, my holidays! ’

We made an appointment with Sophia and said we'd be in Miami tomorrow! Listen to me, listen to me, the base notice is not so fast, we can still go and make out with them for a night! Believe me, the commanders must not have given the order so quickly! ’

France:

'Vive, U.S. GIs are fighting the Vietnam War again, good luck to U.S. GIs!' Long live the great France! ’

Germany:

'Schlecht, another oil crisis! My dear, tomorrow morning we will go buy gasoline, buy as much as we can, and the price of gasoline will go up again! ’

'My dear, there are already ten barrels in the garage, enough for us for half a year. ’

……

The calm world outside began to become excited, excited, and decadent, and the Far East Financial Investment Company was still full of cheers.

Outside, in the big office, excited employees began to send people to buy alcohol. In the office inside, Sun Ziming and they were still staring at the computer screen, and the number on it had rushed to 19. 63。 In just 2 hours, it has risen by 1. 07 dollars, which means that everyone has earned more than 8 billion.

"Nono, Boss, the money you and Zhong transferred in the end, only the front is 10 times leverage, and the rest is 20, 25, and 40 times leverage. That counts,"

Steve pressed the calculator for a while, and after ten minutes, he trembled and said, "Boss, we've earned 105." 250.7 billion Hong Kong dollars! ”

Yes? This is even greater good news, and good news for which there is no psychological preparation!

'Hum', Sun Ziming's mind seemed to be having a grand party, and the blood in their bodies was gushing into their heads. A dollar increase is 10.5 billion, but a $20 increase? Oh my God, we became the richest Chinese man?

I don't know how long it took for Sun Ziming and them to sober up a little, and they continued to smoke 'Great China' tremblingly. Seeing that the unkempt Steve was still staring at him, Sun Ziming shook his still confused head, and subconsciously said: "Steve, the winner is not condemned, right?" ”

Steve shook his fists excitedly, the whole operation process had been deduced countless times in his mind, all kinds of situations were taken into account, and today was just turning the plan into reality, so he was not as excited as Sun Ziming. It's just that I temporarily changed the leverage of ten times to 40 times without authorization, and it was when I saw that Sun Ziming and they were all excited to lose their temper, so I subconsciously seized the loophole and temporarily changed the plan.

Seeing that Sun Ziming didn't blame himself, Steve blurted out: "Yes! Boss, I said a long time ago, you are the bastard of God, and it must have been born to the Virgin Mary! ”

Sun Ziming, who didn't have enough brains, didn't hear the fault in Steve's words, and thought that he was praising his luck.

'Knock knock' The office door knocked, and Lu Huiguang, who was stiff all over, subconsciously opened the door.

"Boss, everyone wants to invite you out for a drink."

Oh, Sun Tzu saw that the Japanese employees were about to bend their heads on their thighs, and then he remembered that there were helpers outside, "Third brother, Guozhong, let's go out and have a drink with everyone." ”

'Cheers', everyone raised the beer and poured it wildly, snow-white hops spilling and squirting from the corners of their mouths.

……

At 9:30 a.m. Tokyo time, the reporters finally sent back the footage, and for a moment the TV screen cut off the expert commentary, and it was all thick smoke, gunshots, cannons, and screams.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is the latest report from the front by BBC reporter Marion on the war between Iraq and Kuwait. Marion, Marion, can you hear me? ’

'OK, viewers, at 1:30 a.m. Baghdad time, Iraq dispatched thousands of tanks, dozens of military helicopters and hundreds of thousands of troops to invade Kuwait. At present, the Iraqi army has occupied Hawali, and the Kuwaiti army has not been able to organize an effective resistance. Kuwait has only 20,000 soldiers, and they have never been on the battlefield, while the Iraqi army has fought in the Middle East war and the Iran-Iraq war. We estimate that even if Kuwait resists hard, the Iraqi army will still capture Kuwait City in five hours at most. ’

'Marion, you mean that in a day, Kuwait will perish'

The reporter on the TV took a note, looked down, and immediately looked up and said, "Yes, we estimate that the battle will be over in 24 hours." The latest news, Prince Fahd, the younger brother of the King of Kuwait, was seriously wounded and killed in the battle commanding Kuwait City, and three members of the royal family have been killed in the battle. Jaber and some members of the royal family have fled to Saudi Arabia. ……”

At 8 o'clock in the morning Baghdad time, Saddam Hussein, who had started the war, appeared on television, recalled the historical ties between Iraq and Kuwait with great emotion, and announced that Iraq had recovered its lost territory and established Kuwait Province, Iraq's 19th province.

"Crazy! He's crazy! ”

"It's crazy, it's not the colonial era anymore, even the Soviets fought Afghanistan, and they had to support a puppet. He, a small Iraq, dares to brazenly annex a country, and it is an oil-rich country! ”

A few hours later, at nine o'clock Washington time, in the White House press room, a gloomy President Bush issued an angry denunciation, '...... This is a violation of international law, a violation of justice and a flagrant aggression by Iraq against Kuwait...... Iraq's actions pose a threat to world peace, a threat to the world economy and a real threat to the national interests of the United States and its allies. …… I declare that all assets of Iraq and Kuwait in the United States are frozen. ……”

Immediately, Britain, France, Germany, and other countries condemned one after another, and diplomats began to tirelessly travel back and forth between governments and embassies like industrious bees.

At a time when the international political situation is changing, crude oil futures prices have begun to rise at an accelerated pace.

19.98 cents/barrel

20.28 cents/barrel

22.45 cents/barrel

……

By the time the lights first came on in Tokyo, the price of international crude oil had risen to 23. $25 per barrel, up 5 in a day. $69, up 32. 24%！

The aroma of takeaway wafted in, and the people who had been excited for a day and a night felt unbearable hunger, and took the lunch box bought by the clerk and devoured it.

"Steve, what do you think will happen next?"

Steve, who had unkempt hair, took a sip of beer while nibbling on a big chicken leg, "Boss, Western countries will definitely ask OPEC to increase oil production to fill the supply gap between Iraq and Kuwait, but it will take time to expand production, and we estimate that it will take at least a month and a half." ”

Sun Lei next to him added: "Fifth uncle, the oil reserves of the United States are only 15 days, and the United Kingdom, France, and Germany are only about 15 days. ”

In other words, the war will trigger a full-blown market panic, and the price of oil will rise faster, and the price of oil will slowly fall back when the production capacity of the oil-producing countries reaches the pre-war supply.

"No, boss, you don't have to think about two things", Steve's greasy big hand pointed to a picture on a TV, "You see, as soon as the United States announced the reduction of gasoline supply, there were long queues in front of gas stations. What is it? This is the market panic xù. ”

The big hand pointed to another TV set, on which it was the program of ТВСССР (Soviet Central Television), "And one last thing, the attitude of the Soviets." If the Soviets do not agree, the United States will not be able to send troops in the name of the United Nations, only in the name of NATO. Boss, the USSR was also a big oil producer, and the price of oil rose, which was of great benefit to them. ”

There is silence in the office, and the panic factor in the market will gradually disappear as oil production resumes and American GIs arrive in the Middle East. Only the attitude of the Soviets is the most critical. If the Soviets do not cooperate, the two camps will confront each other in the Middle East, which will certainly be a greater feast of wealth, but it will also be a great disaster!

Sun Ziming pondered for a while, and said resolutely: "No, after Gorbachev came to power, he promoted reforms and new thinking, and gave up his position against NATO at the head of the United States politically, militarily, and diplomatically. Although Iraq was his close ally, the Soviet Union certainly did not inform the Soviet Union of the incident, and the Soviet Union may not be able to confront the United States in the Middle East. Rather than doing useless work, it is better to abandon this disobedient pawn, enlist the support of the West, and promote his own domestic reforms. ”

"You mean, the USSR will agree with the position of the United States?"

"That's right! Confrontation will definitely not be chosen, the current USSR is not the USSR before the war in Afghanistan! ”

Steve put down the chicken leg bone and thought for a moment, "Boss, you have a point. If the Soviets were on the side of the United States, the rate of increase in oil prices would have slowed down. We chose to take delivery of the contract in early October, which should be safe. ”

Two months of time for expanding production and arranging the army, plus time for the market panic to dissipate, should be safe.

"Ok, it's up to you to take full command, but it must be delivered after the price doubles. Steve, we've got enough to eat, don't care about that last piece of cake, okay? ”

This vote is big enough, and now it is necessary to think about how to retreat safely, and Steve immediately agreed: "Ok"

After eating the boxed lunch, Sun Ziming raised his hand to look at his watch, and ordered: "Everyone is divided into two shifts, don't spend all of them here, this is a protracted battle." Third brother, Xiao Lei, you stay here tonight, and I will come over tomorrow with Guozhong and Steve. ”

"Row"

Half of the employees who were still excited outside returned home, and Sun Ziming also went downstairs and got into Fujiwara Norika's small flower crown, but this child was a bit like a mourner.
