London, 5 December.

Lin Ruihuan, who was still in London to investigate, urgently found Lin Zhichao: "Father, Bren oil futures have moved, and they have skyrocketed to $30 per barrel in a short period of time, and we invest $100 million and urgently need margin!" ”

Lin Zhichao was stunned, how could it rise for no reason?

Soon he understood that perhaps Cheung Kong's blatant investment had caused a 'crackdown' in the City of London.

However, he is very calm, and $100 million is a 'small number' for him, or for Cheung Kong Group. Of course, he didn't raise his hand in surrender.

"It's December 9th, and it's only 3 trading days today, they can't play us!" Lin Zhichao quickly said calmly.

Lin Ruihuan suddenly calmed down, and he also found out that he was sniped by a London financial speculator, so he urgently contacted his father on vacation. Now his father's style of not taking it to heart makes him calm down.

He said: "Today's deal is coming to an end soon, and it looks like they can't pull it higher!" However, Cheung Kong Group is now unable to make up more margin in a short period of time. ”

Lin Zhichao said: "I asked Harbour Investment to transfer $200 million to Cheung Kong from the account, and then make up the position tomorrow, and directly sell the $1 billion contract first!" ”

Lin Ruihuan nodded and said, "Okay, as long as we hold on until next Monday and the OPEC meeting is over, I believe that no matter how big the force is, it will be impossible to operate against the trend." ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "You all believe me, if the OPEC meeting doesn't talk about increasing holdings, then we can only be slaughtered!" ”

Lin Ruihuan said: "I believe in my father's analysis! Only this time it also reminded us that this kind of venture capital is easy to be sniped at, especially since our family is not very strong in the financial field. ”

After thinking about it, Lin Zhichao said: "In the financial field, our Lin family still needs to be strengthened, but don't worry about this matter for the time being." Subsequently, I plan to let the overseas trust establish a stronger investment department. ”

"Okay!"

On the same day, Lin Zhichao immediately arranged for Victoria Harbour Investment to borrow US$200 million from Cheung Kong Group from its capital account in London.

In fact, in many countries, Lin Zhichao's funds can arrive in the account almost in an hour, and his ability to mobilize cash is definitely very valuable.

The other side.

In an office building in the City of London, Evelyn Rothschild sits in her office, listening to her assistant Marion's report.

"Today, a total of seven financial teams participated in the Ragh Brun oil futures, and according to our analysis, tomorrow only needs to pull up the price of another $0.5, and Hong Kong's short forces will blow up."

Evelyn Rothschild said proudly: "So, we haven't made a contribution yet, and we are already going to let Hong Kong's short power blow up?" ”

Marion said, "Yes! We only need to leak the news to the forces that control the Bren oil, and they will be more than happy to crack down on the forces that are short-selling. ”

Evelyn Rothschild played with a pen and said with some regret: "That's a pity! But if they add more money to the short seller, I'll be happy to give them a fatal blow. The financial industry is not an industry, and that one can't play it! ”

Marion asked curiously, "Did the Chinese offend Mr.?" ”

Evelyn Rothschild shook her head and said, "Not really! He has even collaborated with our branch family in Hong Kong (investing in Ma Shimin's business). However, this is London, and he's shorting Bren oil futures, so we might as well give him a little color. ”

Marion immediately understood that although the Rothschild family was already a 'declining' super family, it was not something that a local family from Hong Kong could provoke. If you want to come to London for a financial meal, how can you do it without saying goodbye to the docks.

The Rothchild family's trick of 'borrowing a knife to kill' is still very powerful. Lin Zhichao's shorting of Bren Oil has touched the interests of some London forces.

Next.

Lin Zhichao personally sat in charge of the investment department of Cheung Kong Group in London, and this time he planned to establish the prestige of the funds, so that the forces in London could see that he Lin Zhichao was a dragon crossing the river, just to force the head snake on the ground.

Of course, if it weren't for the weekend and two days to December 9, the OPEC meeting, he wouldn't have resisted.

And now Lin Zhichao, who is familiar with history, knows that this time OPEC must increase production, so he thinks hard steel once. In addition to the $200 million lent to Cheung Kong Group, Lin Zhichao also asked Harbour Investment to prepare $300 million, all of which were prepared for Bren crude oil futures.

"Boss, it's already open!"

"Okay, immediately short the $200 million order ($20 million margin!) ）

"Yes"

Zhao Gongheng, a British-Chinese who is in charge of the investment department, immediately nervously went to execute. He also understood that this time they were being targeted, but fortunately, the boss personally went into battle, and he had a lot of confidence.

With the entry of Cheung Kong Group, Victoria Harbour Investment also began to follow up, which caught many forces off guard for a while.

In fact, they were operating against the trend, and the price of oil rose by $2 per barrel in two days, which is already an abnormal rise.

The other side.

Marion quickly came to Evelyn Rothschild's office and said: "Boss, the power of short sellers has suddenly increased a lot, and there is more than one, just an hour past this morning, the price of Bren crude oil futures has fallen by $0.5 per barrel (converted), and now only $29.4 per barrel remains." ”

Evelyn Rothschild stood up in surprise and said, "How is that possible?" Could it be that Lin Zhichao was able to mobilize a large amount of funds in such a short period of time? ”

Marion said: "It's not just him, it seems to have joined a new short-selling force, and it's very strong!" ”

Evelyn Rothschild immediately said: "We are also entering, I don't believe that the strong dragon can crush the head snake!" Buy the oil futures contract now, I want the price to grow to $33 a barrel today! ”

"No, I'll arrange it right away!"

Next, the two sides went back and forth, and the price fluctuations of Bren oil were obviously abnormal.

This anomaly is more favorable to Lin Zhichao, because crude oil has been rising for a long time, so some people see this as an opportunity to short, and they have joined in. On the contrary, in addition to the Rothschild family, there are also those British oil merchants and related financial institutions.

On the same day, Lin Zhichao also held the idea of not letting the previous investment blow up, and kept suppressing the price, otherwise it would rise to more than 32 US dollars, so the list of sales was very large, and someone happened to buy it.

in the City of London.

Many high-level executives of financial companies are talking about what is the reason for the Bren oil futures riot this time, and they still quickly find out the reason!

"I didn't expect that the capital from Hong Kong would actually short Bren Oil on a large scale, which is really eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts!"

"The Rothschild family is a long party this time, and I heard that many consortia have been contacted and are encircling Hong Kong capital."

"Hey, this Rothschild family really thinks of themselves as the masters of the City of London, and when others are short, they are the first to stand up."

"Shall we get involved?"

"Long or short?"

Due to the active trading, many people soon joined, but the power of going long and short is about the same.

By the end of the day, the power of the bulls and bears had reached equilibrium, and the price of Bren oil futures was $31.90 per barrel.

Next, there will be a two-day break on the weekend, and I believe many people will be full of anxiety.

Cheung Kong Group and Victoria Harbour Investment only sold a total of 2 billion short orders on the same day, and only half of the margin was used.

With the advent of the new week, Bren oil futures have once again attracted the attention of investors, and the trading volume has been amplified a lot.

Evelyn Rothschild has already killed the red eye, and has mobilized another $200 million to go long. Although the Rothschild family has deep pockets, they are scattered in many parts of the world and have many projects.

At the end of the morning, Marion hurried to his office.

"Boss, something is not right, now a lot of funds have begun to join the short side, as long as our funds are bought, there will soon be sell orders to consume our funds. After I sent someone to investigate, I found that it seemed that there was something major about the OPEC meeting to be announced, and it could be an increase in production! ”

Evelyn Rothschild was stunned at first, then stood up in shock and said, "Are you sure about your news?" ”

It turned out that he had already bought $3 billion in contracts, and that was only a full trading day. Coupled with the other forces that are long, their power can be said to be quite strong.

However, the bears do not show weakness, and there is a great situation to be accompanied, and there have been many short selling orders.

Marion said: "There should be an 80% chance!" As you know, OPEC's share of global oil supply in recent years is only 27%, while Saudi Arabia is only 7.02%, so at this meeting, they will most likely pass an agreement to increase production. ”

Evelyn Rothchild sat weakly in her position, and in the face of absolute power, even the Rothschild family could not cover the sky with one hand. The family could indeed briefly pull Bren oil futures to $35 a barrel, but the first required a lot of strength, and the second was easy to be eaten all, and in the end, they paid the unit price.

And now, many speculators who are sensitive to information will not hesitate to choose to short!

That is, from now on, they just want to go long, and they will face more than Hong Kong capital!

"Let's close the position in the afternoon!"

Evelyn Rothschild was also very decisive and began to turn short, although he would also lose a lot, but he couldn't take care of it anymore and couldn't blow up.

Futures are 'betting', if you want to sell, someone must buy it, and if you can't sell it, you can only go down.

Due to the nature of high leverage, as long as it falls a little, it may be liquidated.

For example, if the price of $32 per barrel is 20 times leverage, it only needs to fall to $30.6 per barrel, and the position will already be liquidated (without adding new margin).

And $32 per barrel fell to $10 per barrel, which will make many people bankrupt and liquidate, and of course, there are also short-sellers who make a lot of money. Of course, this time the oil plunge will probably last for 5~6 months before it will fall so much.

In the afternoon of the same day.

Bren oil futures turned the tide and began to fall!

Lin Zhichao was in the office and also breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, the investment department of Cheung Kong Group added an additional investment of 100 million US dollars, and Victoria Harbour Investment, which originally did not plan to invest in Bren oil futures, had to take out 200 million US dollars to short.

In this way, Lin Zhichao is equivalent to investing $400 million, or $4 billion, in Bren oil futures.

Such a large short-selling contract holder made Lin Zhichao directly a predator in the London capital market, and also exposed part of his strength.

Of course, he is still very satisfied with the profits.

Next, he only needs to ensure that he continues to short after the contract is delivered, and he can win without losing!

Of course, it is necessary to ensure that after each delivery, the principal cannot be changed, and the profits must be intercepted and the 400 million margin will continue to be taken out to operate.

Lin Zhichao took a private jet and flew towards Hong Kong.

International crude oil plunged 3.5% on December 10, an event that has proven that crude oil futures are about to start a downward wave. And Lin Zhichao was also very relieved to leave London, and the investment matters were handed over to his investors.

As for what he was targeted this time, it has also been ascertained that it was actually the Rothschild family who was targeting him. However, Lin Zhichao didn't take it to heart, after all, he had already defeated the Rothschild family, and presumably the group of longs suffered a lot of losses.

At the same time, this time allowed Lin Zhichao to make a lot of money, investing an additional $300 million. It is estimated that in the next few months, the London market alone will provide him with more than 2 billion US dollars of wealth, so why not Lin Zhichao!

This incident reminded Lin Zhichao that Europe also had to establish a family branch, and this task would of course be handed over to his youngest son Lin Ruinan.

The youngest son of him and Audrey Hepburn, Ryan Lin now owns the Red Bull Group (Europe) and is about to take control of the Givenchy brand. If you invest in luxury groups, Red Bull Group and sports, it will definitely be good.

As for finance and energy, that's after the third generation, after all, none of his seven sons are good at it. And Lin Zhichao himself is also 'respectful' of finance, and in addition to participating in historical events, he himself will not invest in highly leveraged financial products.

Of course, if the third generation of Lin Zhichao's family grows up, the family wealth is also at the trillion level, so it can naturally be supported.

What's more, Lin Zhichao is also building his own financial group, but he will pursue stability. At this time, he had already extended his financial tentacles into the place of Singapore and established a bank investment department.

In fact, when he is mature, he will also come to London to set up a bank investment department, and then he will invest in futures, foreign exchange, etc., without going through other banks and financial institutions, which will be much more convenient.

When Lin Zhichao flew back to Hong Kong, the City of London also broke a news - the Rothschild family was taught a lesson by a Hong Kong capital, and it was the Lin Zhichao family, the world ship king, who taught the Rothschild family.

Originally, the Rothschild family's operation of Bren oil futures rose was also a very big chance of winning, after all, it was a big force in the City of London; But unexpectedly, OPEC suddenly decided to increase production in order to increase the share of oil exports.

With such a big news, where do you dare to go long oil futures, so Bren oil futures plummeted by 3.5% in one day. This decline is already very volatile in futures.

The Rothschild family.

Jacob Rothschild said dissatisfiedly: "Evelyn, you are too contemptuous of your opponent this time! ”

Losing hundreds of millions of dollars, it's not too much of a problem.

The important thing is that Evelyn Rothschild teamed up everywhere, and not only did not win, but lost badly.

Evelyn Rothschild said: "Master, it's not that I despise my opponent, it's that we all despise our opponents. Lin Zhichao can come up with a cash flow of 3~400 million US dollars in a short period of time, just by virtue of this, he is a very powerful person. What's more, I suspect that he just calculated that there would be a big move in the OPEC meeting, so he felt that he was going all out to short. So, no matter how much we mobilize, he can win in the end. Our biggest mistake was that we shouldn't see him as a competitor, because we have no reason to conflict. ”

The implication is that if you don't want to teach others a lesson, why would you have failed this time?

Jacob Lohil was speechless for a moment, it was he who proposed to teach Lin Zhichao a lesson. And now my cousin has made it very clear that Lin Zhichao is likely to calculate that OPEC will propose to increase production on December 9, so no matter how big Evelyn Rothschild gambles, others will follow suit, so that the Rothschild family will lose more.

"Yes, master! Evelyn Rothschild was able to short-sell his backhand in the first place, which was already very powerful, and it also avoided greater losses. Igbo Rothschild said.

After all, Jacob Rothschild is the fourth lord, and this position is the head of the family of all members of the Rothschild family, and this lord is actually the first generation of Rothschild to receive the honor of the British royal family, and now it is the honor of the 'head of the family' of the Rothesschild family.

So, he immediately said: "Evelyn, I apologize to you, if it were me, this time it would also be a failure!" ”

Evelyn Rothschild immediately said: "The head of the family is serious, a small setback is nothing to our Rothschild family!" As long as we are united, sooner or later we can also break into the United States. ”

The United States has become the world's leader; In the United Kingdom, it is already twilight.

However, it is too difficult for the Rothess family to enter the United States, mainly because they have too many forces.

Jacob Rothschild said, "Well, as long as we get a foothold in Canada, we can get into the United States. ”

Several members of the Rothesmine family immediately discussed. (End of chapter)
