As Hehua's spokesperson, Mo Jingwen was very sensitive to the interview requirements, and after a little hesitation, she said very formally: "Reporter Wu, Lu Jing's name cannot appear in the interview draft, and the number of commercial secrets involving Hehua cannot be disclosed. If you agree to the interview, you can start. ”

Gao Wu immediately frowned with some dissatisfaction. I don't know how many people have begged Xinhua News Agency for an interview, but they can't ask for it. Limit this, limit that. What the?

Da Wu said with a smile, "No problem." ”

Yan Shining listened to Mo Jingwen's request, tilted her head and said in Lu Jing's ear: "They have turned on the recorder." If you don't want the information to leak, it's best to have them turn it off. ”

It was difficult for the reporter's petty actions to hide from a trained agent like her.

A faint aroma came from the cheeks, with a distant sense of tenderness. Lu Jing nodded lightly, and then smiled: "Da Wu, Gao Wu, there is no need to turn on the recording equipment." Let's just talk. ”

Da Wu and Gao Wu glanced at each other, this charming young woman wearing an orange coat and an extremely graceful figure was not simple.

Director Zhang looked at Yan Shining in surprise, the big beauty with a unique demeanor beside Lu Jing was a master.

Da Wu said briskly: "Okay." I'm still thinking about sorting it out afterwards. Mr. Lu, I don't know your habits, I'm sorry. He put his hand in his pocket and turned off the recorder.

Lu Jing smiled and waved his hand, "We can start." ”

Da Wu spread out the notebook in his hand and said, "Mr. Lu, what do you think about the Fourth Petroleum Singapore company's lawsuit against the Australian Gerard Rigby and the Lebanese Abdullah Kama?" ”

As an experienced journalist, the first question, he doesn't ask a cold question.

"I believe that the work of Fourth Oil Singapore is outstanding. Mr. Chen should have his reasons for doing this. Lu Jing's answer was uneventful.

Da Wu didn't mind either, so he changed the question. According to a recent Reuters survey of 21 financial and advisory firms in September, analysts expected WTI and Brent prices to average $34.48/b and $31.87/b respectively in 2005. Mr. Lu. Is Hehua's investment in Fourth Petroleum Singapore in anticipation of a drop in oil prices? ”

Lu Jing smiled: "I don't mind revealing that the average selling price of the futures contracts on hand at the moment is $43. Spread over 12 months in 05 and 06 years. If oil prices fall back in 2005, Fourth Oil Singapore will be profitable. ”

Illustrate. Let's say Fourth Oil Singapore has a contract to sell 10 million barrels of oil at $43 in July '05. The price of oil in July '05 was $35 per barrel.

Then, for physical delivery, Fourth Oil Singapore only needs to buy 10 million barrels of oil in the middle market at $35 and physically deliver it at $43 per barrel. This generates profitability.

For the buyer, holding the purchase contract for $43 in July 05, then the transaction at $35 in July 05 generated a premium, that is, more money was spent. This is the source of profit for Fourth Oil Singapore.

Of course, the futures market is designed to be more complex, flexible and convenient. The buyer is at a loss. It doesn't necessarily go to the process of physical delivery. It is quite possible that on the last trading day, or even before, the operation to close the position was carried out.

As long as the price of oil falls below $43 per barrel. Fourth Petroleum Singapore will be able to close its position at a profit by holding futures contracts - note that there is no need to wait until July '05 to trade.

Seeing that Da Wu brushed up a few records, he obviously studied the price changes of international crude oil futures very much, Lu Jing continued:

"Hehua's think tank believes that oil prices will fall. In fact, as long as Fourth Oil Singapore has a certain amount of capital and pays off Mitsui & Co.'s debts, it will be able to profit from this oil futures trade. This is an excellent investment for us. ”

That being said. But Lu Jing has no idea when oil prices will fall. Otherwise, I would not have consulted Professor Zhao specifically.

In his memory, he remembers that the fall in oil prices was in early December. The source of this vague memory is: in his previous life, after Chen Jiulin was released from prison, he said that as long as the Fourth Oil Singapore Company held on for a few more days, it would be profitable.

October 22 and 27. International oil prices broke the 21-year record, breaking the $55 mark twice to reach $56 per barrel. After entering November. Oil prices are just starting to weaken.

By today, November 12, oil prices have fallen below the $50 mark. After visiting Professor Zhao yesterday. Based on the figures in early November, he initially believes that oil prices will continue to decline under the influence of various factors.

The question Lu Jing now faces is at which price point to close the futures contracts held by Fourth Oil Singapore. Don't look at his confidence in what Da Wu said. But when the price of oil will fall below $43, he has no bottom in his heart.

When Da Wu was recording and thinking about digesting Lu Jing's words, Gao Wu beside him said very quickly: "Mr. Lu, that is to say, Hehua is bearish on the future price of oil like an international organization, so he decided to invest in the Fourth Petroleum Singapore Company. Since it is profitable, why haven't the international investment predators taken over? ”

The question is sharp.

is asking whether Hehua's judgment is wrong.

Lu Jingxin said: "Because they actually know very well that next year's oil prices will not fall, but will rise." ”

Regarding the analysis report of the so-called international organization, Lu Jing has always speculated with the greatest malice. Because the futures market is a zero-sum game, those big international institutions have to make others in the market lose money if they want to make money.

In the domestic stock market, many people must know how to hedge the money of retail investors. The so-called analysts' analysis reports are nothing more than a cover-up. The more big-name analysts are, the more they have to serve big organizations.

Lu Jing replied: "This question can be answered by a common saying: this time, that time. When oil prices were rising in October, when Chen Jiulin was looking for money, no one was willing to lend him money. But. Now oil prices are on a downward trend. ”

Gao Wu nodded, agreeing with Lu Jing's answer. Hehua's investment in Fourth Petroleum Singapore was indeed in early November. That is when oil prices come down.

Lu Jing smiled again and said, "Of course, Gao Wu has a deeper reason for this question. I think so: Goldman Sachs and Mitsui set a bet on Fourth Oil Singapore. Who would invest in a business that knows it is losing money? ”

Gao Wu was stunned for a moment, attracted by the content of Lu Jing's words, and couldn't care about him being given a little "shabu" by Lu Jing.

Mo Jingwen smiled and shook her head. She had been by Lu Jing's side for a long time, and she knew that this guy had a small heart at some times. Lu Jing must have seen that Gao Wu was interested in Xie Qingge. This is a knock on the high realization.

He Mengming whispered in Xie Qingge's ear and laughed: "Ge'er, he's jealous of you!" ”

Is he the one who he? Of course Xie Qingge knew that Mingxiu's pretty face was slightly red, and he was whispering to He Mengming. Xiao Ming knew Lu Jing before her, and his relationship with Lu Jing has always been very good. If a girl is willing to make a spoon for a boy at any time, doesn't that mean anything?

Lu Jing smiled at Da Wu and said, "Da Wu." Don't report on that. Otherwise, Goldman Sachs and Mitsui will be dissatisfied with me. ”

Da Wu hesitated, this is big news. Lu Jing is talking about Goldman Sachs and Mitsui setting up the Fourth Petroleum Singapore Company.

Yan Shining's expression shook slightly. Her mission was to find out who in the Fourth Oil Singapore Company was betraying the interests of the country. The situation explained by Lu Jing is very consistent with her task: since it is a bureau, there must be internal ghosts.

Director Zhang spoke: "Da Wu, Mr. Lu's words can't be reported. Report as previously intended. As he spoke, he smiled at Lu Jing: "Our news media also have a position. ”

Journalists, of course, should pursue the truth of the facts. However, how to report it, it is necessary to have a position.

It can't be like the unscrupulous tabloids in England. As soon as it arrived, the national team scandal broke out during the football team competition. In order to increase sales, but the fart-stock is sitting crookedly, which is obviously to disturb the "military spirit". He has always looked down on the unscrupulous tabloids in Britain.

Da Wu hurriedly said: "Okay, Director Zhang." I know how to do it. ”

Director Zhang's words made Lu Jing have a good impression of him, and said with a smile: "I'll make a toast to Director Zhang's words." ”

The so-called freedom of the press is inherently deceptive. In 08, the American people occupied Wall Street and were violently evicted by the American police, and what about the Western news media that boasted of fairness and justice? There is little news.

Director Zhang smiled: "Mr. Lu." I'd love to have a drink with you too. It's just that when we get to Singapore. It is necessary to have a meeting with the comrades of the branch ...

Lu Jing smiled: "I understand. I understand. Director Zhang, we are all going to be in Singapore for a while. When Fourth Oil Singapore is out of the crisis, let's sit down and have a drink. ”

Director Zhang smiled and said, "Certainly, definitely." How could he not feel Lu Jing's kindness, and immediately chatted with Lu Jing speculatively.

Da Wu still has a lot of questions to ask in his heart, but the simple interview can only end here. It was impossible for him to interrupt Director Zhang and Lu Jing's small talk. Organize the words of the landing scene in your head.

Obviously, Lu Jing looks at the problem from a different angle than him. In Lu Jing's eyes, the crisis of the Fourth Oil Singapore Company is a naked conspiracy and a design of interests.

In his view, this matter should be reflected on from the management loopholes of Fourth Oil Singapore, from the negative impact on the country's going out strategy, and from the market share and price of domestic aviation fuel.

At this time, a flight attendant in a royal blue uniform came over with a food truck to deliver food. Lu Jing smiled, "Chen Min, it's you, right?" ”

The flight attendant who came pushing the food cart was Chen Min of China Eastern Airlines. In ninety-six, when she was fourteen years old, she begged him to send her to Jiangzhou Flight Attendant Vocational and Technical College. She is from Yunchun, and she was asked to be a guide when she traveled to Yunchun a few years ago. I've met her on an international flight before.

Chen Min smiled happily, "Lu Shao." I thought you didn't recognize me. "Brisk delivery of the dishes to the table.

Lu Jing smiled, "How could that be?" Before the plane took off, when the whole flight crew came to meet with the VIP guests to introduce themselves, he went to the bedroom to call Mo Xinlan and them. (To be continued......)
