**********
While Luo Jiu was still happy that he was able to make friends with Jierun's senior representative, Bill was also excited to be able to make friends with such a fool as Luo.
Because Luo Jiu thought that he was lucky, and Bill was happy that this fool of Huaguo was so light.
You must know that before contacting this guy, they have studied this guy for a long time, Goldman Sachs never fights unprepared battles, every time they plan to pit someone, or some institution, their preliminary research ability is world-famous.
In recent years, because of the favorable economic environment in the United States, Goldman Sachs has won a series of battles in China, but most of them have shared the cake with Wall Street predators.
In the overseas market, it is Citi's strength, which makes Goldman Sachs feel very dissatisfied, and they feel that they must also actively expand overseas markets.
However, in the mainland of China, they entered a little late, and because of their special relationship with the US government, they have always been not very at ease with this largest market in Asia, and they dare not devote themselves wholeheartedly, after all, if they annoy the other party, they can get them in a few minutes with a word, after all, it is their home field.
So they thought of places like Xiangjiang and Singapore, such places are also mainly Chinese, and many government enterprises in mainland China have placed their overseas outposts in these places, which gives Goldman Sachs a lot of opportunities to contact them.
And these big Chinese wrongdoers are quite easy to cheat, especially Goldman Sachs is very familiar with the operation mechanism of the Chinese official system. That's a bunch of pure bureaucrats. Even if they are cheated overseas. When I went to China, I didn't dare to make a noise, so I could only bow my head and suffer a dumb loss.
The guy who can write a series of defeats and retreat and fight is the only one who can be driven out by these bureaucrats.
So in the past few years, they have been looking for a suitable big company in Huaguo, not to mention, they have really found a lot of them, such as the XXX Bank, which was listed in Xiangjiang. They became one of the main brokers.
Relying on ultra-low pricing, they have made enough money from these wronged bigwigs, and they have become one of the major shareholders of a certain unjust bank.
Later, many American investment banks also came to take advantage of it, but they choked those Chinese wronged people enough, and they were full of brains.
And the reason why I am eyeing this Luo Jiu this time is also because I have been studying him and his director's China Aviation Oil for a long time.
This is a deadly black hole, but unfortunately the Chinese people haven't noticed it yet, and Na Luo Jiu is stupid to think of himself as a financial genius. If such an unjust head doesn't go to the pit, who will take it?
So next. There was the beginning of the previous time, that Bill. Houston went to meet Luo Jiu's scene very 'unexpectedly', and the two quickly became good friends.
It was the middle of 2003, when the United States had just learned how to use its fist against Iraq, and the second Gulf War was in full swing.
It's just that unlike the first Gulf War, this time the Americans seem to have won more easily, last time, they also used a beautiful left hook to knock down Saddam's National Guard, and this time, it was basically easy, no hook was useless, just a few easy jabs, Saddam Hussein was already beaten all over the ground.
The National Guard is fundamentally vulnerable, and the Iraqi people, who have been engaged in international sanctions, have long lost confidence in people like Saddam Hussein.
Originally, you were the leader of theocracy, but you are special, your son will engage in white terror, and you yourself only know how to be greedy for money and lustful, how can you ask others to work for you?
Therefore, the Anglo-American coalition army can be said to have traveled thousands of miles in the Iraqi battlefield, and soon reached Fallujah, that is, it took a little effort, and then soon went directly to Baghdad.
As a self-engaged oil Luo Jiu, of course, he is also very sensitive to the Iraq war.
After all, Iraq itself is a major oil-producing country, and the purpose of the United States in launching the Gulf War is quite clear, that is, to control the oil in the Middle East more firmly.
The reason why the Americans want to do this is also for two purposes: the first is to tighten the reins around the neck of China, after all, China has now become the world's largest oil importer after the United States, and according to their current development trend, they will become the world's largest oil importer in a few years.
Therefore, for the sake of future planning, the Americans must of course firmly control the oil fields in the Middle East in the palm of their hands, and the second purpose is to teach the EU guys a hard lesson and make them understand that it is impossible for the euro to replace the dollar.
The reason why the Americans have been able to become the world hegemon for a long time is because of their petrodollar system, after the collapse of the Brayton deep forest system linked to gold and the dollar, the petrodollar system has become the mainstream later, and the dollar can still become the world currency, relying on the law that oil and the dollar are directly linked.
And Saddam, the turtle grandson who has been sanctioned by the United States for ten years, if you are honest, the Americans may let you take a breather, but it is a pity that this old guy, seeing bin Laden blowing up the princes of the American building, is actually dishonest again.
He actually began to make eyebrows with France and Germany in the European Union, and said that he would pegging the oil produced in Iraq to the euro, which was simply a slap in the face, which was a stern provocation to the dollar world monetary system.
And what's even more damning is that those Europeans actually agreed, secretly lifted the no-fly zone in Iraq, and sent a lot of divisions and regiments to fight Saddam.
Uncle Sam is famous for not rubbing sand in his eyes, how can he see this, and he will turn his face directly on the spot.
In a word, you have hidden weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, don't say anything, suffer death!
Hence the second Gulf War, and almost all the people of the world know what this war is for.
As soon as the United States made a move against Iraq, the price of crude oil in the world immediately rose like a rocket, after all, everyone knows that Iraq is a major oil-producing country, and the second and current war took place in the world's largest oil-producing region.
Iraq's old neighbor is Iran, which is also a major oil-producing country that has always been on the wrong path with the United States.
As a result, the price of crude oil in the world skyrocketed from $25 a barrel before the war to $35 a barrel, which many people could have guessed.
And Luo Jiu also made a profit from this surge, so he is even more concerned about the impact of this war on oil prices.
And when he and Nabill inquired about the future trend of oil prices and whether there was any news from Goldman Sachs, Bill drugged him here and poured water.
People directly sue him, this oil price will definitely fall, you can rest assured!
You see, if Iraq had resisted fiercely and the US military had not made good progress, there would have been almost no doubt that the price of oil would have risen, but now the Iraqi army is just a rabble, and the army of our United States of America is only in such a one-moment contact, that is, it is a posture of collapse at the touch of a button, and this war will not be fought for a few days.
Iraq is lost, and once the US military captures Baghdad and overthrows the Saddam government, it means that the war is over, and our big oil companies in the United States have mastered those oil fields.
You must know that after the start of the war, the sharp rise in oil prices has severely hurt the real economy of the United States, and we American people will not tolerate such a situation.
So as long as the war is over, you can rest assured, the price of oil will not fall, but it will also fall, if he does not fall, we American people will not agree.
Bill's analysis of entrainment of private goods really fooled Luo Jiu's straw bag, and then thought about it, it was indeed the truth.
You must know that the vitality of the real economy in the United States is closely related to the price of oil, and you must know that the United States is known as a country that grows on wheels, and ordinary people have to rely on cars to get in and out of it, and to use cars, they have to burn oil.
So if the Americans win the war, then don't they have to give the people a little sweetness and put some water on the oil price?
So, in the long run, the price of oil will definitely fall, and it will have to fall.
This was Luo Jiu's analysis, so at the instigation of Nabir, he took a sum of money from the company and began to short oil in the market.
At the beginning, it was just a small test, shorting two million barrels, and at this time, Goldman Sachs, a dealer, began to quietly enter the game, and they were sitting on the gambling table opposite Luo Jiu and his China Aviation Oil, but unfortunately this fool didn't know at all.
And at the beginning of each gambling game, the dealer will give the fools a little sweetness in order to let them obediently enter the trap and shear their sheep.
Therefore, in the second half of 2003, Luo Jiu shorted 2 million barrels of crude oil futures, not only did not lose money, but also brought him and China Aviation Oil a profit of 5.8 million US dollars.
Luo Jiu, who tasted the sweetness now, began to be even more bold, and he earned 5.8 million yuan from only 2 million barrels, what if he shorted 20 million barrels?
And people can say, as long as you invest enough, they can open a bigger leverage for you, so won't you make more money at that time?
At this moment, Luo Jiu couldn't help it even more, and discussed it with the people behind him, and discussed it with good brothers like Chen Hanxi and Huang Jueran, don't say anything, everyone has gathered the money, let's enter quickly...... (To be continued......)
