Chapter 1803 High-Speed Rail and Big Planes
Han Xuan thought that the old man's words had a deep meaning, but when he looked at his expression carefully, he found that it was not, just a casual remark.
Old man Han didn't know what tragedy would happen in more than a year, but Han Xuan knew that he hadn't taken this matter seriously before, and standing at the height of today, the incident that happened in his previous life was no longer simple in his eyes.
Just like the police suspect a murder case, they will generally suspect the person who can profit the most from the case, the horrific attack in his previous life, combined with a series of reasons such as the successful establishment of the European Union, the soaring oil prices, the global energy shortage, and the recent large-scale censorship of Wall Street, Han Xuan has found the target of suspicion - the United States!
Yes, that's right, the force that gets the greatest benefits is the United States, and it can be seen from what happened in the previous life that the United States entered the Middle East under the banner of revenge and directly obtained the right to speak in the world oil market, and oil is directly linked to the dollar, and the vast majority of the world's oil transactions are settled through the dollar, which further increases the monopoly position of the dollar.
In addition, it has also gained a strategic position in the Middle East, realized political, economic, military and other interests, and made a fortune by oil merchants and arms dealers, as well as many financial predators.
Thinking about it according to this line of thought, Han Xuan broke out in a cold sweat on his back, this is a big game of chess that directly affects the world, so big that it is beyond his imagination, and then thinks of a "homework" recently given to him by the White House, about the "homework" of in-depth discussion of the importance of oil to the United States, he feels that things are not as simple as he thought before.
After taking a sip of water to calm down, he found that he seemed to know a terrible secret, more serious than the Solomon plan that Travolta had told him!
Old Man Han looked at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong with you, you're not feeling well?" ”
“…… Well. Han Xuan suddenly asked his grandfather a question out of headlessness: "How is the spiral building renovated?" ”
"Come on, some floors are already being renovated."
"Oh."
Han Xuan felt that if the targets were all symbolic and important buildings, then his family's building would be very safe, it was far away from the World Trade Center Twin Towers, and he had been worried that the spiral building would become a target, but now he thought that the possibility was very small.
began to believe in his own judgment, considered all factors, and from the perspective of interests, he already thought that it was a self-directed and self-acting drama!
When the old man saw that his grandson was not giving up, he became even more worried, and asked again, "Do you want me to help you find a doctor?" ”
Hurriedly shaking his head, Han Xuan said: "If you guess correctly, the price of oil will rise."
You wait a minute, I'll make a call, I've been spending a lot of money lately, and I need to have an income. ”
I don't know at all So, Old Man Han couldn't figure out where his grandson came from to see that the price of oil would rise, and in his opinion, the conversation just now was no problem at all.
Turn on the computer, search for the recent oil transaction price chart, in just one week has risen by 5.6 percent, Han Xuan has a toothache, a few days ago he thought that the price of oil will rise recently, but for a while he forgot that the "loss" is billions of dollars.
If you don't make any money, of course, even if you lose money, the futures market can invest tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars through leverage, so that 5.6 percent is an astronomical figure.
Fortunately, it was not too late, Han Xuan took out his mobile phone and made a call to Mr. Hamilton of Interstellar Investment, and after saying hello, he asked, "Hamilton, are you still in the company now?" ”
"No...... I'm on vacation, little boss.
It happened to be my wife's birthday, so I brought her to Las Vegas, is there anything going on? ”
Mr. Hamilton was a little weak-hearted, like an employee who skipped work to go out and play, but was caught by the boss, changed the subject and said: "I live in the Venetian Hotel & Casino, the environment here is really beautiful, there are so many guests, I can't even find a free slot machine, it was a wise decision to buy this casino hotel in the first place!" ”
How can you not hear that it is a sycophant, Han Xuan smiled: "That can only show that the number of slot machines in the casino is not enough."
Well, I do have something to ask you for, I hope to make some noise in the international crude oil market, according to the situation, the price of oil will rise all the way recently, and the current price is 28.5 US dollars a barrel, we have missed a good opportunity, and the rest must not be missed.
It is best to arrange people to eat crude oil futures, and it is best to suppress the price within 29.5 US dollars, eat as much as you want, and do not make a profit of more than 20 percent, and don't say in front of me that you are making investments in the future! ”
Mr. Hamilton on the other end of the phone, who was one of the first batch of old employees to enter Interstellar Investment, had already seen Han Xuan's "willful investment", even if he was well-informed, he couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong with the little boss's head at this moment.
I didn't think it was wrong to invest in crude oil, and replied at the moment: "When the price of crude oil fell to $10, we ate a part of the futures, and the total amount was about $2 billion, which brought a lot of returns."
Do you really want to buy big? Crude oil prices are already high right now, and I'm worried that there will be a huge risk. ”
Interstellar Investment is Han Xuan's family office, and the only goal is to help Han Xuan manage private assets and turn this part of the funds into more, as long as it is a financial field that can make money, without it, it is normal to invest in crude oil.
"That's right, listen to me, the more you buy, the better, can't the funds in our hands affect crude oil futures trading?"
Han Xuan asked rhetorically, his words were extremely domineering.
As he said, judging from the current scale of funds of Interstellar Investment and Han's Charity Foundation, no matter what financial investment field you enter, you will become a giant and have some right to speak.
There are many factors that affect the price of oil, such as weather, production capacity, demand, etc., which can make oil prices fluctuate significantly, but behind these fluctuations, the most important thing is the human factor.
Then he said: "They are trying to push up the price of crude oil, so we are also involved, if I am not wrong, the price of oil in half a year is likely to reach about forty dollars a barrel."
The opportunity has been told to you, go ahead and do it as soon as possible, and hope to earn some pocket money early next year to make up for my recent losses......"
The world's three major crude oil futures refer to the West Texas Light Oil futures contract and the Sweet Crude Oil futures contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange, and the North Sea Brent crude oil futures contract on the London International Exchange.
In the early seventies of the twentieth century, the world's oil demand grew rapidly, and the phenomenon of oil shortage began to emerge. When the Arab-Israeli war broke out in 1973 and the Arab oil-producing countries imposed an oil embargo on the United States, OPEC took advantage of this opportunity to raise the level of oil prices from two to three dollars per barrel to nineteen dollars!
As a result, OPEC has replaced multinational oil companies as the controller of oil prices and crude oil production, and OPEC official prices have become the benchmark for oil pricing.
In other words, oil, like other commodities on the market, such as gold, began to be sold at the price at which the customer bought it.
This is also a trick made by the capitalists to circle money, and the victims are those oil-poor countries, and the high or low oil prices depend on the market price at that time.
Some oil-rich countries in the Middle East have only suddenly become rich since the 70s, and oil is extracted from the ground, which is not expensive to produce, but can bring in a lot of money.
In the past, Han Xuan rarely set foot in the crude oil futures trading market, after all, in this era, there is gold everywhere, and there are opportunities to make money, which leads to the news being closed and missing the good opportunity for oil prices to fall below ten dollars.
The last time Qatar came, this made oil re-enter Han Xuan's sight, and the oil and gas fields he invested in Siberia were mainly natural gas, and he missed the good opportunity before, and he didn't plan to miss it again.
The United States and other European and American countries have holidays during the Christmas and New Year holidays, and the crude oil trading markets in other regions can not have holidays, but the lack of the New York Stock Exchange and the London International Mercantile Exchange in the United Kingdom has also seen a lot of declines.
The holiday is about to end, after several days of rising, the original crude oil futures price has a downward trend, but on the New York Stock Exchange, mysterious funds suddenly appeared, crazy to eat orders!
Someone wants to test the water, throws out a contract with a total value of one billion, and it is gone in the blink of an eye, many people are confused, they can't understand what's going on, and they eat billions of dollars in orders in a few minutes, and the strength is simply terrible!
Today is Wednesday.
The New York Mercantile Exchange's floor trading hours are Monday through Friday, starting at 8 a.m. and ending at 1:30 p.m.
Electronic trading has only been around for a few years, with trading hours running from 2 p.m. to 8 a.m. the next morning, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays, and from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. on Mondays on Sundays.
The reason for such a strange trading time is to match the custom of those oil-producing countries in the Middle East, which closes early on Friday and does not trade on Saturday, both of which are Jewish practices.
When it comes to hitchhiking, no one is more powerful than Han Xuan, every time he sees the intentions of certain interest groups, he always likes to go in and get involved, unless the other party gives up, he can only take him to play with him, and leave quickly after making a fortune from it.
Because he has credibility and will not casually harm his teammates, those people will also bring him along, such as the old Soros, who met during the Mexican currency crisis, called him a plan to short copper prices and the Southeast Asian financial crisis.
When someone found out that the funds were pouring out from a shell company under Interstellar Investment, many people around the world covered their heads and sighed: "It's time to come, and even crude oil futures are not letting go......"
