It is impossible for Yao Yuan to remember all the details, and if he cannot find the explosive point, he can only blindly hold on and wait for the Tokyo Index to fall.
He suddenly asked, "What can cause the Tokyo Index to fall immediately?"
Su Wangting thought for a moment blankly and answered subconsciously, "War, or...the index bank collapses, or multiple banks collapse."
Yao Yuan's eyes slowly lit up, he smiled, and said, "Mobilize all funds to bet on the Tokyo Index, withdraw funds from the futures market, and increase leverage."
"All?" Su Wangting's mouth twitched slightly.
"Yes, all of them." Yao Yuan nodded firmly.
Su Wangting and Yu Yongan looked at each other and said in unison, Mr. Yao might as well not come.
"How many times the leverage?" Su Wangting asked again.
Yao Yuan thought for a while and asked, "How much capital do you have?"
"More than 700 million US dollars." Su Wangting replied.
Yao Yuan closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Let's start with ten times, and the maximum can be fifty times."
In other words, if you lose 10%, your position will be liquidated.
He is no longer the Su Wangting he was a few months ago. Everyone knows Yao Yuan's character. What everyone has to do now is to complete the work quickly after the market opens.
Lin Xiaohu walked in and whispered, "Jason and Camille are here, and they have been here all the way."
"Oh? They are quite well-informed." Yao Yuan was not surprised. With the intelligence network of these oil giants in operation, it was easy to figure out his whereabouts.
Yao Yuan pointed at Lin Wei, "Fei Wei, you stay here, I'll go meet them."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it, don't worry." Lin Wei was full of confidence. His operation of Hong Kong Meixiang when he was in Hong Kong made Lin Wei call himself a stock god.
Yelena has already invited Jason and Camille to the reception room next to them.
Seeing Yao Yuan coming in, Jason and Camille stood up quickly with smiles on their faces.
"Yao, my friend, your plane is flying so fast." Jason exaggeratedly opened his arms to greet him.
Yao Yuan raised his hand to block him and said with a smile, "Mr. Jason, we haven't gotten to know each other well enough to hug each other, right? Miss Mikal, it would be great if you could give me a warm hug."
Camille smiled, walked over to Yao Yuan, hugged Yao Yuan tightly, and said in Yao Yuan's ear, "You are such a handsome and personable man."
Immediately, he kissed Yao Yuan gently on the face.
What surprised Camille was that Yao Yuan didn't react at all. He pushed her away calmly, turned around and sat down, and said, "Please take a seat. I have traveled thousands of miles to catch up with you in Tokyo. I must have something urgent, so I won't delay."
You have time, please tell me."
"Mr. Yao, did you come to Tokyo to seek financing? You know that Halliburton is very willing to cooperate with you further, including financing." Jason said straight to the point.
Yao Yuan said honestly, "Southern Industrial has no funding problems. I came here this time for the Tokyo stock market. The Tokyo index will soon fall sharply, so I invested some money to be bearish. Are you interested in investing some money to play?"
"Mr. Yao is shorting the Japanese yen?" Jason was stunned.
Yao Yuan nodded, "I have been doing it, but starting today, I am bearish on the Tokyo Index. Yes, I am not optimistic about Japan's economy."
"Japan's economic development is strong. Mr. Yao, what basis do you have for this?" Kamil was also very surprised.
Yao Yuan shook his head, "Personal intuition."
Jason was moved and asked, "How much money did you invest?"
"700 million U.S. dollars." Yao Yuan said with a smile.
"hiss……"
The two were dumbfounded and threw 700 million US dollars into the stock market for fun?
This amount of capital can determine the life or death of any stock!
This is a desperate effort!
The world's largest oilfield services company like Halliburton cannot spend US$700 million to gamble in the stock market. Their annual profits are not US$700 million.
It was 20 years later that Halliburton's annual profit exceeded US$1.5 billion. The US$1.5 billion 20 years later is two different concepts from the US$1.5 billion in the 1990s. The purchasing power and value contained in the latter are far greater.
As for the former, it's not just because of inflation.
Jason suddenly discovered that Yao Yuan was an out-and-out gambler. Is it the right choice to seek cooperation with such a person?
He fell into deep thought.
Camille's idea is very simple. The rule she believes in is that businessmen follow their interests.
Yao Yuan has just become the second largest shareholder of the Azerbaijan State Oil Company in a blockbuster manner. To define Yao Yuan solely as a gambler is narrow-minded. No oil company believes that it can win the exploration rights of all oil fields in Baku in one fell swoop, and Southern Industrial has not won them all.
Instead, he suddenly became a business owner.
With such a case before, could it be said that Yao Yuan would really make a joke about US$700 million?
Camille's eyes were rolling, and she said, "Mr. Yao, you must have got some news, right? The market is generally optimistic, but something big must have happened, right?"
Yao Yuan smiled, "It is indeed my personal intuition. In fact, after studying Japan's economic development in the past two decades, especially after the signing of the Plaza Accord, and taking into account the Japanese government's response measures, I personally believe that Japan's economic hard landing will end in failure."
"Of course, it can happen at any time in the stock market."
Camille suddenly said, "Mr. Yao, I personally believe in your judgment. You are a person who is fully confident in doing things. Unfortunately, I don't have much money. If Mr. Yao is willing to help, I would also like to spend two million
The dollar follows you bearish on the Tokyo index."
"No problem." Yao Yuan nodded towards Yelena, and Yelena went to inform him.
Being able to come up with two million US dollars at once shows that Camille is relatively powerful. Although his position in the French Total oil company is not high, it is full of gold.
Jason reacted quickly.
Does Kamil trust Yao Yuan's judgment?
He believes in ghosts.
The purpose of Kamil doing this is to get closer to Yao Yuan, and the price is two million U.S. dollars. This money is not much at all, and what is certain is that as long as Kamil wins the cooperation contract, the company will definitely compensate her.
Over two million dollars.
In fact, Jason knew very well that Camille's so-called personal two million dollars was most likely coming from the company's public relations funds.
As the world's top oil company, France's Total has tens of millions of dollars in public relations expenses every year, and the same goes for Halliburton. Before that, they had spent millions of dollars on Gaidar.
What difference does spending another two million dollars make?
Either win a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars, or lose all the initial investment. There is no third scenario, and there is no compromise. This is brutal oil competition.
After understanding the joints involved, Jason was unwilling to be outdone and said quickly, "I am very confident in your judgment, Mr. Yao. I will personally spend three million U.S. dollars to bet with you."
Yao Yuan smiled and said nothing.
Jason did not give Kamil a chance to speak and continued, "Mr. Yao, Halliburton has decided to transfer two double-head oil production lines to Southern Industrial for free and entrust Southern Industrial to produce no less than 10,000 double-head oil production units per year.
The other conditions are completely in accordance with what you proposed before. I have brought the contract over, please take a look."
Camille's smile was a little stiff. The greeting gift was really generous, but she didn't have the same authority as Jason, so there wasn't much she could do.
Yao Yuan no longer whetted their appetites, and signaled Jason to put aside the issue of the double-head oil production machine, and said straight to the point, "I have communicated with the chairman of the Azerbaijan National Oil Company, and he agreed in principle to introduce foreign-funded enterprises to jointly develop the Baku shallow sea.
oilfield."
Jason and Camille couldn't help but sit up straight, like students listening to the teacher.
Yao Yuan said, "In terms of cooperation methods, Mr. Aliyev made it clear that the Azerbaijan State Oil Company will no longer introduce new shareholders. Therefore, for the Baku shallow sea oil fields, we will come up with three major projects: exploration and production, refining, and natural gas production."
Cooperate with foreign-funded enterprises in various business areas.”
He looked at Camille and said, "I tend to cooperate with France's Total Petroleum Company in the natural gas extraction business. Well, oil companies such as Exxon and BP are also candidates."
He looked at Jason and said, "Halliburton is a great technical oilfield service company. We have decided to fully cooperate with your company in the development of Baku's shallow water oil fields. You are the only one."
Jason almost jumped with excitement.
In joint bidding with Exxon Petroleum Company, even if all were successful, they would only be able to win the exploration and production services of some oil fields. But now, Yao Yuan gave him all and the only one.
Yao Yuan said with a smile, "If conditions permit, Halliburton needs to share second- and third-generation offshore platform technology with Oriental Petroleum Services Company and provide all the technology for dynamic positioning."
Camille almost burst into laughter.
In today's world, offshore oil and gas mining is the future, and the development of onshore mining to offshore mining has become a trend. Halliburton, which has the most advanced offshore exploration and mining technology, is undoubtedly at the forefront. The dynamic positioning mentioned by Yao Yuan
Technology is the core technology of the fourth-generation offshore drilling platform, which is currently only mastered by Halliburton.
Jason's face turned red and blue, and he just looked at Yao Yuan, unable to say a word for a long time.
Yao Yuan ignored him and turned to Kamil and said, "Total needs to share technologies including crude oil refining, natural gas storage and transportation with Oriental Petroleum Services Company. This is a prerequisite for your company to get the contract."
Camille couldn't laugh anymore either.
France's Total Petroleum Company is unique in refining and natural gas, which is why Yao Yuan chose this company for cooperation.
Southern Industrial has pipeline construction concessions in many cities in the Pearl River Delta region. It is inevitable to start pipeline gas construction, so the gas source problem must be solved. Natural gas in the 1990s was an energy source that was not taken seriously, and was often burned in vain.
However, this kind of clean energy will highlight its advantages in the context of global energy conservation and emission reduction.
Natural gas storage and transportation are the most critical links.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, Yao Yuan asked Hyundai Heavy Industries to share LNG ship manufacturing technology with the purpose of solving the problem of maritime transportation of natural gas.
Starting from supporting Aliyev, Yao Yuan has considered every step carefully. After gaining the initiative, which companies to cooperate with and what the conditions are have all been determined. From seeking LNG ship manufacturing technology to now
France's Total oil company offered conditions, which clearly formed a complete chain.
The conditions proposed by Halliburton are based on domestic offshore oil development technology. At present, domestic shallow-water oil field development technology is available. Drilling platform technology is barely considered the first generation, but internationally it has developed to the fourth generation.
The difference is not as big as one point or two points.
If the new generation Oriental Petroleum Services Company develops first-, second-, and third-generation offshore drilling platform technologies step by step, first of all, time will not allow it, and secondly, it will not make much sense.
Only by understanding the technologies of the first two generations and directly launching the development of the fourth generation drilling platform can we achieve catch-up.
Yao Yuan made the conditions, stood up and said, "Don't worry, you two will stay here first and think about it slowly. I'll excuse you now."
Jason and Camille stood up with complicated emotions and watched Yao Yuan leave.
