On Monday morning, the price of WTI crude oil in the lobby of the New York Stock Exchange continued to rise after the open.

“46.64”

“46.78”

“46.89”

The trader yelled hoarsely. The trading floor was noisy. The futures market is a zero-sum game, and when oil prices start to fluctuate, it means that someone loses money and someone makes money. This is the battleground of capital.

At 11 a.m., oil prices, which had been rising, suddenly plummeted, and a large amount of money entered the market to sell short.

“46.60”

“46.44”

“46.20”

The crude oil futures trading market suddenly became a mess again, and news and instructions were issued from here, and then converged, which was finally reflected in the price of WTI crude oil.

In Hong Kong, in the office of Boyuan Fund on the 34th floor of Yee Shin Building in Kowloon, Liu Heshun looked at the WTI crude oil futures price jumping on the computer with a frown, and asked: "Dad, the price of WTI has fallen, what should I do next?" ”

Liu Boyuan, director of Xinye Bank and general manager of Boyuan Fund, calmly ordered: "Continue to buy." ”

In the office, several traders placed orders on the computer and were busy operating.

In the oil futures confrontation in full swing, Boyuan Fund is also ready to take a piece of the pie. The operation room is located in one of the offices of Boyuan Fund. There are various indications that international crude oil prices are about to rise sharply.

A knock on the door sounded, and then Liu Boyuan's beautiful busty female assistant appeared at the door wearing a blue coat, "Mr. Liu, the materials donated by Boyuan Fund to the China Charity Federation for the tsunami in Indonesia need your signature." ”

"Okay, I'll do it. Little goose. You send the materials to my office. Liu Boyuan closed the laptop in his hand and greeted, "Heshun." You come with me. ”

December 26th, early yesterday morning. A major earthquake struck the Indian Ocean and triggered a tsunami. Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Maldives and Malaysia have all been hit by the disaster, resulting in a large number of casualties and property damage.

The earthquake itself affected Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand and other places, triggering a tsunami that affected six time zones: Somalia, Mauritius and other regions. The hardest hit was Indonesia.

The tsunami in Indonesia shook the world. Rescue efforts are already underway. The China Charity Federation organized fundraising in Hong Kong, and as one of the top figures in Hong Kong's financial circles, Liu Boyuan was naturally invited. Boyuan Fund will donate about HK$1.24 million in supplies.

Liu Heshun followed his father out of the office. The door closed softly. Walk through the wide walkway to the general manager's office. Assistant Zhuang Yan sent the report, Liu Boyuan swiped his wrist, signed his name, and gently sipped the tea. "Heshun, if you have something to say, just ask."

Liu Heshun, who was standing by the window and looking at the deep night, asked in a deep voice, "Dad, why do you want to go long on crude oil futures?" Hehua seems to be shorting. EK has just released a strategic analysis report. ”

"What, do you trust Hehua's judgment?" Liu Boyuan smiled.

Liu Heshun scratched his head embarrassedly, coughed and said, "I believe." Lu Jing is a very annoying person, but I sigh to myself when he does things and projects. ”

Liu Boyuan put down the teacup and smiled with satisfaction: "Well, your kid is too big." "My son has been working at Xinye Bank for a while, and his performance is good. Now it's time for Boyuan Fund to help him. I have experience in private equity funds, and I get started quickly. Boyuan Fund recognizes his ability.

"I met with Chen Xujiang, the director of Hehua, and he revealed to me that Hehua is currently shorting. This news is much more accurate than EK's strategic analysis report. However, shorting with China is weak, and I am not interested in playing with them. ”

Liu Heshun said strangely: "Dad." Didn't you ease your relationship with Hohwa? ”

His feud with Lu Jing began with his admiration for Hong Kong socialite Ye Yan, who was hailed by Time magazine as the richest woman in Asia. The grudge between his father and Lu Jing was in the acquisition war of Sulan Electric through Zhengying Home Appliances.

"Haha," Liu Boyuan laughed, "Détente is détente." I'm long oil, based on my judgment of the market. It's not to go against Hehua! Oil futures market. So many long oil institutions, companies. It's not too much for me, is it? ”

Liu Heshun listened weirdly. Father still seems to have a lot of resentment towards Hehua.

…

…

"Lu Jing, why don't you go and rest first?" In the conference room of the presidential suite of the Lido Hotel in Singapore, Fu Jie sat on the sliding swivel chair and turned around, saw Lu Jing hanging up the phone to Tang Shijing, and said elegantly.

There are more than a dozen laptops on the oval-shaped conference table. Assistant Bu Shanmei manages the six computers. Lan Ji and Shangguan Shao respectively used SIT chat software to direct traders who did not know where in the world to place orders. Dong Bing and the three staff members she brought with her helped with chores.

"Let's look at it for a moment. The confrontation is raging. Lu Jing yawned and said. It was more than 11 o'clock in the morning on Monday, New York time, and it was already the early morning of the 28th in Singapore.

After a few days of testing in the market, Fu Jie was sharply shorted this evening, and now every second, there are hundreds of millions of funds entering the game. In such a tense situation, he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

"Okay." Fu Jie tiredly pressed the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "After relaxing for a few days, the biological clock can't be adjusted." Then I won't greet you. ”

"I'll be quiet." Lu Jing said with a smile, looking at the big screen hanging on the wall on the left side of the conference room. Above is the real-time WTI crude oil price: $45.98 per barrel.

The numbers jumping on the projector are showing the desperate battle between Hehua and its rivals in the WTI crude oil futures market. The invisible sword light and sword shadow fought in the numbers, and the blood was scattered.

Lu Jing moved the chair to the window, and I don't know when, it rained outside the window again. Singapore is still in the rainy season during this time, and this is the second rain he arrived on the 25th. Song Yuqi brought in a cup of iced coffee, and whispered behind Lu Jing's back, "How is the situation?" ”

"Seems to be okay." Lu Jing said uncertainly. He doesn't know much about futures operations. Oil prices are on the downside.

At this time, Shangguan Shao stared at the screen with his eyes dead and said, "Mr. Fu, the No. 2 trader has not enough funds." $500 million needs to be allocated to him. ”

"Shanmei. Give funds. Fu Jie commanded neatly.

"No, oil prices are up again. Mr. Fu. I'm short of money here, give me $1 billion. Lan Ji shouted.

"Give..."Fu Jie's words were concise and to the point. The eyes are determined. The hands that were as white as jade were on the handles of the black boss chair, motionless like mountains.

Song Yuqi quietly stuck out her tongue, this decisive killing spirit really has the momentum of commanding thousands of troops. Singapore is just the headquarters, where the traders are arranged by the Hong Kong Fuyue Investment Fund.

Bu Shanmei shouted, "Mr. Fu, we only have $10 billion left in our funds..." $10 billion was consumed, indicating that the war in the futures market has become white-hot.

Fu Jie looked at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing waved his hand, "Mr. Fu." You decide. Now you are the top decision-maker. ”

Fu Jie nodded quietly and ordered, "Shanmei, use this fund..."

At this time, Lu Jing's mobile phone suddenly rang. Lu Jing looked at the number, it was Fu Yulong, the executive vice president of Kaiyue Capital. "Mr. Lu, today's oil prices fluctuate very much..."

Greetings, Lu Jing smiled: "Mitsui and JPMorgan Chase have a lot of funds..."

"Mr. Lu, it's not just that." Fu Yulong's voice on the phone was lowered a little, "The funds of Standard Chartered Bank have entered. They're going long. There could be $5 billion in money that will follow Standard Chartered. ”

Lu Jing was slightly stunned, this was an unexpected opponent, and said, "Mr. Fu, no matter how many opponents there are and how many funds. I will continue to go short. ”

"Mr. Lu, Hehua's situation is very dangerous." Fu Yulong let out a long sigh, he knew that Lu Jing would not listen to his persuasion. "We'll have a drink together tomorrow night," he said. "Tomorrow night is the 18th birthday of Li Yiji's niece Huang Qian'er. As a leading figure in Singapore, he also received an invitation.

"Okay. We'll see you tomorrow. Lu Jing smiled and agreed. walked out of the room with Song Yuqi. The lights were on in the resplendent living room. Exceptionally bright on a rainy night. Back in the study, Lu Jing told Fu Yulong's news.

Yu Le gasped, "It's over, Lu Jing, this is a bit unexpected." ”

Lu Jing rubbed his face and said calmly: "It's normal." Behind Standard Chartered is the British Warren consortium. I heard that Xia Rulong visited Hardy Warren, president of Warren's Far East region, some time ago.

I had a long time with Hardy Warren, and I made him lose his status as the fifth in line to the Warren consortium. Standard Chartered's move was predictable. ”

"You, it's the same as martial arts novels, there are festivals and grievances, and he has to spend so much money to trouble you?" Ming Xue, who was sitting on the side, said.

Tonight is the beginning of the big war. She and He Mengming both moved up from the office of EK Company on the 39th floor.

Lu Jing said with a smile: "You have magnified the rivers and lakes of martial arts novels, isn't that it?" ”

Mo Jingwen and He Mengming both chuckled, and Lu Jing was obviously talking nonsense. There is a little truth, but the collision of several major consortia is more dangerous than the "Jianghu War". The impact is not on thousands, tens of thousands.

The Mitsui consortium, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Hehua, and Warren consortiums, the combined number of people affected by these parties is at least hundreds of thousands.

Lu Jing made a joke and said: "Hardy-Warren can persuade the Warren consortium to make a decision to be a rival to us in the crude oil futures market, and the fundamental reason is that Fourth Petroleum Singapore wants to acquire Singapore Petroleum Company.

A large part of the interests of the Warren consortium in the Far East are in oil. British Petroleum (BP), the second largest of the world's top 500 companies this year, has shares in the Warren consortium, and they have a lot of say.

Fourth Petroleum Singapore is now secured, and the next step is to acquire PetroSingapore. Li Yiji's current attitude**. This battle will be a decisive opportunity. We moved the cake of the Japanese capital and the Warren consortium. When I was competing with Mitsui & Co., Shen Jianlin of Hong Kong Finance New Weekly reminded me that there might be multiple capitals targeting Hehua. ”

This is very clear. Song Yuqi asked in a deep voice, "Then this is expected." Yu Le, why do you look like you're making a fuss? (To be continued......)
