It's just this haze in Bond. Hunt's mind flashed and quickly dissipated without a trace, and he did not think that such a fortuitous situation in the market would pose any threat to his position.

The amount of positions on hand is extremely large, although this also means that the opponent's position is also huge, but the news of the opponent's collapse has shown that he has won the battle between the two sides. Now all Hunter has to do is quietly wait for a large number of closing orders to appear, and close a part of his position in a good time, and put this part of the floating profit into his pocket steadily.

Although there was only a few minutes of the inter-month spread of more than $3 on the market, it undoubtedly attracted great attention from the market, and the subsequent increase also showed that the guy who suddenly appeared in the market was very likely to have not stopped, which left a great suspense in the market.

Soon, the market was asking everywhere where this was sacred, and it dared to make a rivalry with the Withered Flower Fund at this time. And Hu Ping, who was in the limelight, was not idle, and began to call around after the market closed, using his connections to persuade the other party to snipe the natural gas position of the non-withering fund with him.

"John, I'm Hu, how are you doing?"

The first phone call Hu Ping made was one of the most famous people in the industry, John Brown. Arnold, who has no less than Bond in the energy hedge fund world. Hunter's fame is a big shot.

John. Arnold, a 74-year-old young man, worked for energy giant Enron as a veteran gas trader. He is particularly adept at finding spreads in the market and taking advantage of them, which naturally makes huge profits for the company, and was even called the "king of natural gas" in the market for a time.

After Enron's financial scandal, the "king of gas" also ended his career at Enron, but Arnold was not just unemployed, in fact, when he first returned to freedom, many large companies and funds threw him a wink. It's just that the "king of natural gas" has a high spirit, flatly refuses high-paying offers from all sides, and uses the money he earned in Enron to start Sagittarius Energy Consulting and start his own hedge fund.

Soon. Sagittarius funds stand out in the market. Everywhere waving banknotes Jean John. Arnold's investors who manage the funds have been promised all kinds of harsh commission conditions, so that John. Arnold had to announce the closure of his fund's investment channels, helping only fund insiders and childhood playmates manage their funds.

As one of the absolute kings in this field. Hu Ping thought of him immediately.

As an elite among fellow Wall Street elites. Hu Ping and John. Arnold was a stranger in his life. But they have also heard about each other, and they know each other's success stories in their respective fields. At an investor meeting with the Kaminari brothers, two close sympathies exchanged contact information. After Hu Ping left the Kaminari Brothers. Arnold also called to solicit him, but Hu Ping had already accepted the invitation from Zhongshi at that time, so he finally politely refused the other party.

John. Arnold is not very tall, but he is a little handsome and speaks in a loud voice, which may have something to do with his work. At the age of 32, he is full of energy and ambition, always planning to make a big splash in the market.

"Hu, is that you? It was a big surprise. How, are you going to come to our company? If you do come, that's great. Although you are not very familiar with the natural gas market, great traders have the quality to succeed even in different markets, don't they? ”

Despite focusing on the natural gas market, John. Arnold was also interested in other markets that could make a profit, but a gas market alone was enough to keep him busy, so he kept an eye on the other best players in the market, hoping to poach them when he had the opportunity to expand his hedge fund.

Therefore, when Hu Ping's phone rang, Arnold answered it as soon as possible, and the tone of his voice revealed a thick surprise, and even Hu Ping on the other side of the microphone could clearly feel it.

"Nope! No! No! John, things aren't what you think. Hu Ping was surprised, but he quickly rejected the other party's kindness, waited for a while, and waited until the other party came to his senses, then he continued, "John, thank you very much for your kindness. But I'm doing something for a big guy right now, and I'm doing natural gas. ”

"Really? Big shot...... Oh, I see, the person who is signaling in the market today, is it related to you? I'm not mistaken, hu! ”

Just by relying on this sentence alone, you can guess so much content, and the other party is really not the top storage in the natural gas market, Hu Ping secretly praised in his heart, and admitted calmly, "Yes, the person who gave the signal in the market today is me." No, to be precise, it's not a signal, it's just a tentative move on the position of the non-withering fund, and it's not as strict as you think. ”

For Hu Ping's such candor as John. Arnold didn't expect it, so he was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while. But soon he remembered what Hu Ping had just said, "doing things for a big man", and after pondering for a while, he realized that Hu Ping might really have hugged a thigh, and it was a huge thigh.

After realizing that he might not be able to work with this person he cherished, and the other party admitted what he had done, John . . . Arnold suddenly calmed down a lot, and after thinking about it again, he slowly asked, "So, Hu, I don't really understand what you mean!" ”

In fact, he had vaguely understood what the other party meant, but he didn't want to break it up. In the financial market, it is absolutely taboo to reveal your intentions and positions, so even if the other party has revealed her intentions, John. Arnold still pretended to be confused.

"Of course it's a windfall!" Hu Ping naturally knows this, but at present, he is stronger than people. He can only follow the temptation, "I believe you should also be aware of the rumors of the fund's strategy and position." Why don't the two of us join forces and make a big one and defeat them? ”

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, John. Arnold was still taken aback by Hu Ping's straightforwardness, and without thinking about it at the moment, he immediately subconsciously retorted: "Hu, maybe you still don't know." The natural gas market is not the same as the one you did before. In addition to the normal supply and demand relationship, it is also necessary to take into account the weather and other reasons......"

"Yes, I understand what you're saying!" Before he could speak, Hu Ping interrupted him. gave the other party another psychological impact. "I've accumulated enough positions. As long as it is launched at the right time, it is enough to give the opponent a fatal blow. I'm not kidding, I mean seriously. John! ”

"Enough positions" and "fatal blow", these two sentences strongly struck John. Arnold's nerves made him feel like a world away in a short period of time, and a qiē didn't seem so real. The next moment, after shaking his head hard to make himself sober again, he said sternly: "Hu, what you said is true? Oh my God, how could you think of fighting against the Undying Flowers, knowing that they are real behemoths, God, if it were me......"

"If it were you, what would you do?" Hu Ping asked decisively on the phone.

I didn't expect that what I accidentally said was captured by the other party. Arnold's face suddenly showed a look of ridicule, but the next moment he was relieved, and said without concealment: "If it were me, I would also fight against them!" ”

"Haha, John, your current cousin is the real king of gas!" Hu Ping on the microphone laughed, and after a long time, he sent out an invitation, "John, let's do it together, and unite your and my funds, which are no less than the funds that do not wither in the natural gas market, and most importantly, they are in the light, and we are in the dark." ”

"This ......"

Arnold didn't give an immediate answer, and after a moment of silence, he slowly continued: "Hu, things are not as simple as you think. If this winter's weather is particularly cold, the price of natural gas will continue to rise, which is a huge positive for the gas position in the far months of next year. At that time, the spread between March and April will still rise on the current basis, so I can't make up my mind now, and I'm afraid there is no way to reply to you immediately. ”

"Interesting, really funny!" Hu Ping didn't feel angry at all, but laughed and said, "John, it seems that you are indeed eyeing the position of the unwithered flower, otherwise how could you even know their strategy so clearly!" But John, you should also know that September is not far away, the winter climate will soon be predicted, not to mention the far month position, I'm afraid that even the price difference between the September and October positions, you will not have enough time to open a position! ”

Not waiting for John. Arnold said something, and Hu Ping continued with a smile: "But according to what you just said, I believe that you should have established a certain position in the two adjacent months of March and April next year, and maybe there will be a loss. But it doesn't matter, as long as we join forces to defeat the withered flowers, what is the current loss, and the floating profit will definitely come like a tide, and then wait for the dividends! ”

John. Arnold was silent for a long time, but still did not answer.

He has his own considerations, in fact, he very much agrees with Hu Ping's judgment, even if this year is a cold winter, but he still believes that the current price of natural gas futures has deviated from the fundamentals, so he has already sneaked into the market and secretly established a shoulder arbitrage portfolio in March and April next year, the amount is about 10,000 hands, which is not a large scale.

Immersed in the natural gas market for so many years, John. Arnold is also well aware of how dangerous this market is, and there are many capable people. If nothing else, let's just say Bond. Hunter, the natural gas trader of the unwithered fund, who is currently rumored a lot about him in the market, is as profitable as himself in the natural gas market.

It's easier said than done to defeat such a guy. John. Arnold sighed inwardly.

"Alright, man, if you really don't plan to get involved, then I won't force it!" After waiting for a long time, seeing that the other party still didn't have the slightest reaction, Hu Ping shook his head secretly, and said in a gloomy tone, "However, during this time, the price of natural gas futures is likely to fluctuate violently, and I will remind you first." This time, I will never stop until I bring down the Withering Fund, I swear to God, oh no, I swear to God. ”

"What? Do you know exactly what you're talking about? ”

This time John. Arnold was really shocked, he never expected that the other party would be so "irrational", and even said such things as life and death. You must know that in this "rational world", saying such things will definitely be regarded as a childish expression, but at this moment, Arnold does not think that the other party is naïve at all, and at this time he has only one thought in his heart, that is, the other party has enough funds, so he can say such a thing with confidence.

Although many times, the market determines prices according to fundamentals, but at some point, the market has to surrender in the face of certain absolute funds. Although this is suspected of market manipulation, it is too difficult to convict the real one.

For a time, John. Arnold fell into deep thought, not even noticing that the other party had hung up the phone.

On the other side, when Hu Ping hung up the phone, he smiled at Zhong Shi, who had been silent next to him, and after taking a long breath, he said with relief: "It's done, he will definitely join us!" ”

Woo John. Arnold is an important part of Hu Ping's entire operation plan, for no other reason, this guy's influence on the market is too great, even if he can knock out the position of the withered fund, but if he makes a move at a critical time, it is difficult to say whether he will win or lose, so only by pulling him to his side in advance, or letting him stand by, so that Hu Ping can let go and do a big job.

However, in the face of great interests, Hu Ping believed in John. Arnold will make the right choice, Wall Street has only interests, no friends, even if Hu Ping is very clear, John. Arnold and Bond. Hunter's personal relationship is good, but if it is in front of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, any personal relationship is nonsense.

Zhong Shi also nodded silently, without the slightest expression fluctuation on his face. (To be continued......)
