Chapter five hundred and ninety fifth victory
As the beginning of 2019 begins, the world is not very peaceful. News from China is the first to shock the world's energy market.
China officially announced the new energy development outline, claiming that China's independently developed Lotus Reactor nuclear power plant technology has matured and passed various verifications. China will completely stop the approval and construction of new thermal power, and start building nuclear power with an installed capacity of at least 100 million kilowatts within ten years, and strive to use nuclear power to completely replace thermal power generation in 20 years.
As soon as China's official new energy development outline was announced, it caused a thousand waves, causing the world's energy market to react violently immediately.
Although the emergence of Duke Lotus Drop has already made the international energy market expectation, and the prices of fossil energy futures such as coal and oil have gradually declined, no one expected that this day would come so quickly. China's official policy development outline is equivalent to officially announcing that the future of fossil energy will be even more bleak.
Because energy demand from China now accounts for a large part of the international energy market. If the energy demand in China's large market declines significantly, the total demand in the entire energy market will inevitably shrink significantly, which will directly lead to a sharp drop in the international fossil energy prices in the future. In the past few decades, the prices of everything needed by the Chinese market will grow rapidly, such as oil, coal, iron ore, etc., have risen several times.
This invisibly increased the huge cost in China's development process, allowing those countries with resources to make a fortune in China. Today, it is their turn to make some blood.
Sure enough, international energy suppliers soon discovered that futures orders for forward energy products from China began to decrease significantly.
Immediately afterwards, several major power generation giants in China announced that they would start construction of a 15 million kilowatt nuclear power generation project this year, which truly shows that China is not just talking about it verbally.
In the high energy-consuming field of seawater desalination, in addition to the construction of four large seawater desalination factories in the Gulf region, China will also open four large seawater desalination factories in North China. The seawater desalination project in Abu Dhabi is very successful, which is much lower than all current desalination methods. This will allow the seawater desalination method with the second generation of the Lotus Drop as the core to eliminate other current desalination methods.
Although the Abu Dhabi factory encountered a strange accident, the test results proved that the accident had nothing to do with the nuclear leakage. Through this accident, experts were even more surprised to find that the safety protection measures of Lotus Reactor technology far exceeded the level of existing nuclear power plants. It is absolutely not something other nuclear power plants can do now, not to mention that the Lotus Reactor nuclear power plant can also facilitate maintenance-free restart.
This fully demonstrates that the active and passive safety protection measures of the Lotus Reactor nuclear power plant are trustworthy, so the Abu Dhabi accident played a positive role, causing the demands of Europe that were originally suppressed due to trade protection policies and doubts about security to burst out suddenly. Now, China and Europe have jointly formulated new generation nuclear power plant standards, completely lifting the relevant restrictions on Lotus Reactor entering the European market.
These long-suppressed demands suddenly emerged, making Oriental Nuclear Power overwhelmed, and cooperation negotiations were one after another.
The number of new nuclear power orders has brought Dongfang Nuclear Power's production capacity to a saturation state at once. The total installed capacity of nuclear power generation and seawater desalination project orders combined, the production tasks that Dongfang Nuclear Power needs to complete in 2019 alone exceeded 30 million kilowatts. This strong demand forced Dongfang Nuclear Power to subcontract some of its business to its European counterparts.
On the one hand, it is because there is a gap in production capacity, and on the other hand, it is because after the two sides formulate relevant standards, they now need to make some gestures to express their willingness to jointly develop this market. Since the overall contract for the entire integrated construction is in the hands of Oriental Nuclear Power, the most profitable part of the entire industry falls into Oriental Nuclear Power’s mouth.
Under such circumstances, the world's energy market futures prices and energy raw material supplier stocks began to fall avalanche. This long-lasting decline has made the short-selling speculative fund, which Lao Li's long-standing trading layout, succeeded.
"Mr. Cai, Mr. Li Hao, after the fierce fluctuation in the energy market last week, our investment returns in the futures market have now exceeded 200%," At the joint meeting of the three leaders, Erick of the old Li family reported to the two partners with a happy face. "As the country announced the plan to replace thermal power by nuclear power, coal futures plummeted, which has made a great profit in short investment in this area. Now it has basically fallen to a historic low. We have begun to close short orders and make profits."
"If our operations were not interfered with by mysterious funds from the United States, our gains would have been more considerable, but now everyone sees the future trend. Market operations are now very difficult, and it is even difficult for us to short again. Let's see if we temporarily withdraw from the speculation in this futures market."
When they were planning to promote Lotus Drop, the three of them expected that there would be large fluctuations in the energy market, so they pulled out 40 billion US dollars to conduct energy futures speculation. Who knew that due to the subsequent restrictions on Lotus Drops in Europe and the United States, the promotion of Lotus Drops was far behind expectations, which made the speculation time longer.
However, since everyone agreed that this day would be like this sooner or later, although there were small ups and downs in the middle that the entire investment was in a state of profit and loss volatility most of the time, the three companies still insisted on long-term layout and kept shorting. It was only because new funds seemed to smell the smell later. This was naturally because Snyder monitored Duke's capital movements and used his power for personal gain, revealing this news to several investment funds that were closely related to him, which made these funds smell the smell.
Otherwise, the short selling scale of the three companies will be larger and will also gain more rewards in this avalanche-like plunge in the energy market.
But even so, the huge profits of 200% in about a year have made Li Hao, who works in the industry, very satisfied. Although he didn't invest much in this feast, he only invested 2 billion US dollars, accounting for a mere 20th of the share, but now he has gained 4 billion US dollars in real money, which is almost the total income of his family in the past few decades.
So, what else is Li Hao dissatisfied with this result? "Eric, since it is difficult to operate energy speculation now, I think we can temporarily shrink it. We will extract profits and invest in nuclear power equipment manufacturing and automobiles to further expand our industry, and continue to look for new opportunities for the rest. I think with our development, not only the domestic economic situation is changing, but the entire international economic situation will also change with our changes. There must be many investment opportunities in this regard. Your team is an expert in this regard. We can completely grasp industry and finance at the same time."
