Chapter 1161: The Oil War
Xiao Qi didn't take the opportunity to ask for anything to happen to Li Zhenxi. Hope, even if he knows, as long as he insists on it, he is full of gratitude to the beauty of the child. The woman did not dare to refuse.
But Xiao Qi has enough beauties around him now, and he really can't cope with it anymore.
After all, the most important work of teenagers is still going on.
So after arranging a car, bodyguards and tour guides, and taking Li Zhenxi's mother and daughter to travel around Shuchuan, Xiao Qi threw himself into work again.
The next day, July 31, the most active September oil futures contract in New York, the United States, continued to rise since June and July, directly reaching a record high of $78.21, and was about to break through the $80 barrier, which scared a group of investors almost out of their hearts.
Especially the five major investment banks that bet against Xiao Qi, they almost scared out of their urine.
There are still four months to go until December 31st, and if the futures price continues at this trend, the futures price will reach $100, which will be just around the corner.
Although the five major investment banks have deep pockets, this is not only related to the $1 billion bet, but also related to everyone's influence on the entire oil futures market.
If Xiao Qi wins, then the boy who accurately predicted the price of oil futures twice with the prestige of the last gamble will become a supergiant in the oil futures market, and a word can cause a violent shock in the oil futures market, and the price of oil will also be affected by Xiao Qi.
If their five major investment banks win, then they will not only consolidate their original position in the oil futures market, but also directly suppress Xiao Qi, a hateful guy, so that he will never want to enter the oil futures market again for the rest of his life.
The profits of the oil futures market are too big, not only the profits of spot trading. There is also the profit from speculation in the futures market, which exceeds hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
Such huge profits have long been monopolized by oil companies in Europe and the United States, major investment banks, and fund companies, and they will never allow an unknown factor to be added, especially Xiao Qi is still from Huaguo - the first country in the whole Shijie oil market, and it can't produce a talent. Wiped out everyone's profits.
In fact, Xiao Qi certainly didn't just play against them on oil bets.
Because of Uncle Niu's relationship and Cao Zhichong's relationship, Xiao Qi began to guide them to buy oil in March this year.
Those so-called experts in the Huaguo oil system should all be imprisoned for "dereliction of duty".
Because of the oil trading in the past few years, they have all made the most wrong buying and selling decisions at the wrong time period.
They hoarded a lot of oil when the price of oil was at its highest, and then after the oil crashed, they lost tens of billions of dollars all at once.
And then these people were fooled again. After signing the so-called "hedging" oil VAM agreement, it lost so much that it lost even its pants, causing even greater losses to the country and the people.
After being deceived abroad, they have no face and no skin, so they can only recover their losses from the people at home, and they do not know the so-called increase in oil prices by a large margin.
This is the most important reason why the price of Weishenme oil has dropped to $60 per barrel, and the price of our domestic refined oil is actually higher than $140!
Xiao Qi certainly wouldn't allow such a thing to happen a second time.
So PetroChina took the lead in March. When the barrel of crude oil was $56, a massive hoarding of oil began. To date, more than 150 million barrels of crude oil have been hoarded.
After Niu Ruzheng asked Xiao Qi, he determined that Xiao Qi was sure to judge the large-scale rise in oil, and immediately ordered several airlines such as Sinopec, CNOOC, and China Aviation Oil to buy them with PetroChina.
They also bought a total of about 400 million barrels and stored them in the storage bases of Liancheng, Jichun, and Qindao.
To say that Niu Ruzheng is also bold enough. In the previous Shiyan, after knowing that Xiao Qi had the talent of the "Brain Tank of the Country", this time he also decided to believe him.
Although many experts at home and abroad are clamoring that the economic downturn must represent a continuous decline in oil prices, it cannot be purchased at this time. And it should be a wait-and-see, or hedging, but Niu Ruzheng still withstood a lot of pressure and firmly believed in Xiao Qi.
Because from the experience of the past ten years, Niu Ruzheng knows that it is okay for this group of experts to use their mouths, and if they really want to ask them to fight in the market, it will not be long before they will collapse under huge pressure - anyway, don't pay the price for talking, right? Zhao Kuo, who talks on paper, has been there since ancient times.
Things are also the same as Xiao Qi expected, although the price of oil was once sideways, but after June, no matter how weak the current economy is, the price of oil is constantly going up, and there is no sign of decreasing at all.
Some sour economists in China suddenly changed their tone and praised Niu Ruzheng's wise decision-making, saying that these huge purchases and storage will certainly bring tremendous benefits to China's oil industry.
Xiao Qi felt a little funny in his heart.
Now don't look at the price of oil is about to break through $80, but the enhanced version of the upcoming subprime mortgage crisis will definitely cause oil to fall for another month, and it will not rise steadily again until mid-September.
When it comes to the decline in August, I wonder if they will immediately change their tone again and sarcastically mock Niu Ruzheng and Xiao Qi?
And what will happen to them when it comes to the rise in September?
Between the ups and downs, this kind of comment that has completely lost the discipline will obviously make them lose face, right?
All right.
Those are trivial.
I'm about to be promoted. Central Government. Governance Committee. Niu Ruzheng, who is a member, has been more worried about another thing recently.
That is the subprime mortgage crisis that is already sitting on a keg of dynamite that has been lit.
From a macro economic point of view, it is absolutely impossible for Huaguo's economy to exist without shijie.
Although the subprime mortgage crisis is a matter for the United States, in this era of global economic integration, the outbreak of the economic crisis in the United States is likely to affect China's export trade, so it has to make some preparations in advance.
Niu Ruzheng has recently convened several discussions among economists, but unfortunately he was not so satisfied with the conclusions, so he thought of his genius young thinker, hoping to ask Xiao Qi to take time to go to the capital in the next few days.
Uncle Niu spoke, and Xiao Qi naturally wanted to save face.
So in the past few days, Xiao Qi has been arranging his work itinerary for the last half month.
Fortunately, the fairy company is on the right track, and the small boss who controls the overall situation is not in Rongcheng, as if it doesn't matter much. (To be continued......)
PS: At the end of the month, I knew my chance had come! Kneel and beg for a monthly pass! Everyone has a spare monthly pass, whether it is a consolation vote or an emotional vote, please vote for Xiucai! Come on, it's a waste if you don't use it!!
