Chapter 545: The much-anticipated contest
Shen Weijun has a wide circle of friends.
There is no one he doesn't know among the dignitaries, dignitaries, rich men, celebrities, tycoons, black and white, three religions and nine schools from all over the world.
I also know a few princes and rich men from Zhongzhou, and I have pretty good relationships with them.
In the past two years, the uncle-nephew duo Shen Weijun and Shen Baobao have made a lot of money following Li Dong.
Lin Shuhua also followed Donglai, and Shenghai continued to expand areas of cooperation.
In addition, Shen Baobao and Zhang Chenyang are getting married, and they are now a family.
Now that Li Dong is encountering difficulties, Shen Weijun will certainly not sit idly by and ignore them.
So he contacted a prince with whom he had a good relationship, named Walid.
Prince Walid is much older than Kabir and about the same age as Shen Weijun.
He is a typical playboy.
Live a life of dissipation and extravagance every day.
But Shen Weijun knew that Prince Walid still had a relatively large influence within the royal family.
Because he is the biological brother of the current king and the biological uncle of Kabir.
After Shen Weijun contacted him, he didn't say anything else, he just chatted for a while, and then took the opportunity to mention Kabir.
He said that Kabir came to China this time and invested in several major projects, making outstanding contributions to improving China's economic development and promoting the friendship between the two countries.
As soon as Shen Weijun mentioned this, Walid was not very happy.
It is also said that Kabir is arrogant and arrogant. It is also said that Kabir is only carrying out the orders of his superiors. How can he get any credit?
Anyway, his dissatisfaction with Kabir was revealed in his words.
Once Shen Weijun saw that his goal was achieved, he said nothing more. He just followed Walid's words and hung up the phone.
Shen Weijun believed that Walid would definitely not let him down.
It will definitely hinder Kabir in various ways.
As a result, Kabir will not be able to deal with Li Dong with all his strength.
And with Li Dong's level, even if Kabir dealt with it with all his strength, he might not be able to do anything to Li Dong, let alone the various constraints behind him.
After doing this, Shen Weijun couldn't wait to report to Hu Yue and ask for credit.
Hu Yue inevitably thanked him.
This made Shen Weijun very happy, and he couldn't help but show off to Du Shaokun and the others.
It made Du Shaokun and the others very angry.
But there is nothing you can do.
Who prevents them from having as deep connections abroad as Shen Weijun?
It’s not like they haven’t thought about taking action on the projects that Samei has invested in in the country.
However, those projects are basically strategic projects introduced by the local government. Even though they are all children of powerful people, they do not dare to touch these projects rashly.
All they can do now is to bring in a few more helpers. When Li Dong needs them to come in, they can unite a group of helpers and come in together.
After all, there is strength in numbers.
However, first of all, the other powerful disciples around them didn't have much money on hand.
Children of powerful people may have much greater network resources than ordinary wealthy businessmen.
But when it comes to money, they are really not as good as those wealthy businessmen.
Not many of the people around them can spend 100 million at once.
Previously, Hu Chen worked exhaustingly for more than ten years and only managed to accumulate a net worth of less than one billion yuan.
And Hu Chen is already considered to be doing well in the expensive circle.
Even if Du Shaokun and the others risk their lives and risk their lives to recruit helpers, they will still be able to attract tens of billions of funds.
But Li Dong’s opponent is the Sami Consortium.
The funds used by both parties will be a huge amount of funds in the trillions.
There are tens of billions of funds inside, and it can't even make a splash.
He was slapped to death.
Another point is that those guys didn't know where they heard the news.
Everyone actually knew that Kabir of the Salami Consortium wanted to deal with the short crude oil order in Li Dong's hands in order to be jealous.
Before, those guys were all begging Du Shaokun and the others to lead them and make some money with the stock gods.
What now? Everyone is waiting to see the joke.
In their view, Li Dong's fight with the Samei consortium is a waste of time and trouble, and he is asking for trouble.
If it is in the domestic market, or in the stock market, foreign exchange, other commodity futures and other capital markets where the influence of the Salami Group is relatively small, then Li Dong may still have a chance of winning.
However, Li Dong actually wanted to fight the Salami Consortium in the international crude oil market.
Isn’t that seeking death?
There were a few people who had a pretty good relationship with Du Shaokun and the others, and they didn't say much. They just said that they weren't very well off lately, so they wouldn't enter the market this time and would wait until next time.
But a few were not so polite and directly asked Du Shaokun and the others, are they stupid?
How unthinkable is it to follow Li Dong to fight against the Sami Consortium?
Do you really think that after making a lot of money, you become a stock god?
Don’t you know how high the sky is?
I still want to fight with the Samei Consortium and wait until I lose everything.
Du Shaokun and the others were so angry that they almost died.
Everyone vented their anger in the group, and then encouraged Li Dong to kill Kabir and slap those guys hard in the face.
How dare you look down on Li Dong, so irritating.
Li Dong didn't care at all.
The goshawk only cares about flying in the sky, but it doesn't care about the chirping of a few sparrows.
This is the realm of the goshawk.
Li Dong is now waiting for Kabir to take action.
However, almost a month has passed since I said goodbye to Kabir in Cloud City, and Kabir has not taken action yet.
There is nothing unusual on the disk.
Crude oil, like the previous life, slowly rose to 109, and then slowly fell back.
It looks like things are not going well with Kabir.
Although Hu Yue did not mention to Li Dong that Shen Weijun contacted Walid, Shen Baobao did.
The baby wants to take credit.
Li Dong is still happy to see this happen.
Although this feels a bit overwhelming, Li Dong is not so pretentious, and he is not afraid of deceit.
However, Li Dong will not take it lightly.
Even if Kabir encounters some obstruction, there is no way to take immediate action against him.
However, pushing up crude oil is in line with the overall interests of the Shamei consortium and the Shashi country, so Li Dong believes that Kabir will definitely take action.
Perhaps Kabir was waiting for a suitable opportunity to push the crude oil up in one fell swoop, without giving Li Dong a chance to resist.
Some information obtained from the Ning family also confirmed Li Dong's inference.
During this period, the Samei Group has been mobilizing funds frequently.
We are also actively contacting several other international investment institutions.
Obviously making preparations.
The Ning family is not idle either, and is also actively contacting some international investment institutions with good relationships.
However, at this time, there are only a few who dare to stand up against the Salami Group and several large international investment institutions.
The vast majority adopt a wait-and-see attitude.
Ning Chongren was helpless.
Ning Chongren did not tell Li Dong or Hu Yue about these things.
However, even if Li Dong knew it, he didn't take it seriously.
He didn't expect anyone to help him at all.
In the past few months, the international situation has undergone a dramatic change.
The commotion on Kriya's side was getting louder and louder.
It has also had some impact on the international capital market.
Many people feel that the turmoil in the situation may push up crude oil prices.
But Li Dong, who was reborn, knew very well that this turmoil did not push up the price of crude oil, but instead suppressed it.
Li Dong didn't know how Kabir viewed this turmoil, but Kabir had not taken action until now, probably just waiting for the opportunity.
Li Dong couldn't remember exactly what day the referendum was held on Klea's side, but he vaguely remembered it was mid-March.
On the day of the referendum, global crude oil, gold and other markets all rose to varying degrees, while stock markets in various countries fell to varying degrees.
After that, crude oil continued to rise for nearly two months, and it was only in May that it took a sharp turn.
Li Dong estimated that Kabir would most likely take action on the day of the referendum.
It is now March 12th, and crude oil has also fallen back to around 106 or 07.
Li Dong did not wait any longer and asked Zhang Xiaojun and others to start reducing their positions.
Just make an idea when reducing your position, don't sell too much at once, run fast in small steps, and go out bit by bit.
This way, you won't attract other people's attention.
Hu Yue and Ning Chongren are getting more and more worried.
This situation is obviously very unfavorable to them.
The two of them communicate with Li Dong on the phone every day and exchange news at any time.
Although Ning Chongren didn't say it clearly, he still hoped that Li Dong would think carefully about what he said. Since the current situation is unfavorable, he should take a step back and sell the short orders first. Wait for the right time, and then follow up.
It's not too late for Kabir to compete.
Hu Yue didn't have so many scruples and told Li Dong directly that if it didn't work, just sell the short order first. There was no need to vent his anger on Kabir.
The situation in Kriya is getting worse and worse, and if this continues, crude oil will definitely rise.
And Kabir will never let go of this opportunity, he will definitely take action.
Walid alone cannot stop Kabir.
Li Dong could only patiently explain to the two of them.
Although the turmoil in the situation will push up crude oil in the short term, in the medium to long term, this turmoil will inevitably make the already sluggish global economy worse.
When the economy goes down, crude oil will inevitably fall.
In fact, both Ning Chongren and Hu Yue understand this truth.
But the question now is whether they can carry it until that time.
Hu Yue still hopes that while the short crude oil position in his hand is still profitable, he can simply sell it all.
When crude oil is really going to fall, it's not too late to buy again.
Although, if you enter the market now, because you have too many short orders, it will be difficult to sell them all at the low point. Some of the short orders will definitely be sold at the high point, causing some losses.
Moreover, when crude oil is about to fall, if you place a short order, you may not be able to gain too much.
But at least, there won't be too much risk.
In Hu Yue's words, with their current capital scale, the first thing they must pursue is the safety of their funds.
On the premise of ensuring safety, pursue profits.
There is no need to take huge risks to pursue high returns like you did at the beginning.
Ning Chongren's views are similar to Hu Yue's.
Li Dong could even guess that Ning Chongren and Hu Yue must have discussed it many times in private.
In fact, generally speaking, their views are correct.
Because when the funds reach a certain scale, the first priority is to ensure the safety of the funds.
However, Li Dong's situation obviously cannot be measured by general standards.
This sharp drop in crude oil is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In the next ten years, there will be another similar big market.
Therefore, Li Dong will not give up this opportunity easily.
If he sells all the short orders now, it will be equivalent to giving up this opportunity.
Because when crude oil is going to fall in two months, he will definitely not have time to enter the market.
And the most important thing is that if he comes out now, it will be equivalent to surrendering to Kabir.
How could he surrender to an ordinary player when he competed so well?
If this spreads out, other gangsters will definitely laugh to death.
It's simply embarrassing.
Although, apart from him, there may be no other person in this world.
Moreover, if he goes out, Kabir will not make a big move to go long at this point.
That would be tantamount to allowing Kabir to escape disaster.
How is this possible?
Li Dongke hoped to defeat Kabir's love rival in one fell swoop this time.
He just wanted to use the short order in his hand to lure Kabir into going long.
The more Kabir makes, the worse his losses will be.
For this reason, he takes a little risk, but what does it count?
He only needs to sell out part of his position at the bottom and reduce some pressure, and that's it.
Hu Yue tried to persuade him several times, but couldn't do it. She just thought it was Li Dong who had a bad temper again, and was very helpless.
On the other side, Kabir finally gained the support of his superiors and agreed to go long in crude oil.
Although Walid tried his best to stop him, saying that Kabir wanted to do more crude oil for his own selfish reasons and to attack his love rival Li Dong.
Walid even hired a large group of economists to demonstrate the current international situation and prove that the current oil price is already at a high level and will definitely fall in the future.
But this still couldn't stop Kabir.
One is an investment genius who is regarded as the hope of the royal family, and the other is a burden to the royal family who idles around all day.
Moreover, it is in Shakespeare's national interest to push crude prices higher.
Kabir didn't even come forward to argue with his uncle in person, so he naturally gained support from the top.
The unlucky Walid was even punished by the royal family.
Just because he questioned Kabir.
Kabir, who was no longer constrained, was ready to take action.
During this period, he mobilized all the forces he could mobilize to investigate Li Dong's position movements.
According to preliminary estimates, Li Dong's position is between 300 and 500 billion.
This is definitely a heavy position.
Kabir even wondered where Li Dong got so much money.
But these are not important.
After this sum, even if Li Dong did not go bankrupt, his losses would definitely be astronomical.
It is even possible that this will be the largest loss in history.
And he, Kabir, will go down in history as the winner.
This will definitely be a far-reaching contest and a highly anticipated contest.
