Chapter 895 Do have the ability to affect the rise and fall of international oil prices
But for Soros, his nightmare is not over yet.
After Hong Kong entered late at night, the New York and New York markets opened. Soros is by no means a reckless person. He launched attacks in Hong Kong, Russia, and South Korea at the same time. His target selection was very precise and his actions were very sharp. Today, in Hong Kong,
After the attack was declared a failure, his layout in Russia and South Korea actually had an effect.
South Korea temporarily diverted a large portion of its funds, which affected its operations and failed to proceed as planned.
In addition to these, he did not miss out on making plans in the New York stock market. He made huge profits when the Dow Jones Index plummeted in the previous few days.
His plan is to use hedging tools to bearish oil prices in the New York futures market to make up for the shortfall in Hong Kong, which is also a move to strengthen his investors.
As Yao Yuan expected, Soros noticed the news released by Qatar Energy Company and quickly established a large number of short positions to continue to bearish on oil prices. Qatar Energy Company is the national oil company of Qatar. This country is relatively tough and basically does not like the West.
That's what it is, and the United States has a very important military base in Qatar, so it can only tolerate it.
Therefore, when Qatar Energy announced the news of accelerating the construction of northern oil and gas fields at this time, although it was questioned by Western oil companies, Qatar Energy did not care what they thought.
Oil prices were already in a state of decline. After the news released by Qatar Energy Company representing an increase in oil and natural gas production, international oil prices became even more difficult to support. It is a definite fact that they will continue to fall.
Shortly after the Hong Kong stock market closed, Yao Yuan quickly flew to Dubai on a special plane and even had dinner on the plane.
He led the financial elites who had just gone through a big battle to arrive in Dubai. Also on the same plane were Li Jinghan and Deputy Director Zhuo. These two came here to study after consulting their superiors. The former represents Bank of China, and Bank of China must vigorously expand
To make overseas business bigger and stronger, it is indispensable to deepen the financial business in the energy field. The latter manages the country's foreign exchange reserves and wants to maintain and increase the value of national wealth. This is a good learning opportunity.
On the plane, Yao Yuan introduced his overall plan to deal with Soros to the two of them in detail. Then they suddenly realized that Hong Kong was only the main battlefield. Yao Yuan not only attacked Soros on several battlefields, but also laid minefields in the New York futures market.
Kill Soros.
This is a big game.
"Some changes occurred in this process. Soros suddenly transferred funds from South Korea to Hong Kong, which reduced the pressure on South Korea. This was something I did not expect. I can't let so many Koreans escape." Yao Yuan smiled.
He said, leading the two leaders to visit the Oriental Petroleum Overseas Headquarters Building, "This building used to be the best hotel in Dubai, the Kempinski Hotel. We will immediately use it as the overseas headquarters of Oriental Petroleum, mainly for business functions.
."
Deputy Director Zhuo said with emotion, "No wonder Director Lin didn't say that he didn't know the strength of Mr. Yao from the outside. No company in our country can match such a big and tall building, such a luxurious high-rise."
"These are all superficial."
Yao Yuan invited the two of them to his office. Because there were five hours of inspection and flight time, it was actually around six o'clock in the afternoon in Dubai and the sun had not completely set yet.
Li Jinghan and Deputy Director Zhuo were amazed by the office, which was much larger, more luxurious and of higher quality than the chairman's office in the headquarters building of Hua Xia United Bank in Hong Kong.
Although Li Jinghan traveled abroad more often, Deputy Director Zhuo was different. The only two trips abroad were at public expense. The first time was to the United States in the 1980s, first to Los Angeles and then to New York. The whole process was in an enlightened state.
It was the first time I opened my eyes to see the world.
The second time I went to Singapore, this time I actually didn’t have much experience going abroad because Singaporeans are basically Chinese and most of them can speak Chinese.
But no matter what, I have never seen such a luxurious and huge office.
Seeing that they were visiting with great interest, Yao Yuan pointed to the paintings on the wall and introduced them, "These paintings are said to belong to some famous artist. They were bought from auctions by Su Jianmin and others on a business trip to Europe."
"This is "Self-Portrait", a masterpiece by Van Gogh." Deputy Director Zhuo is an old-school intellectual and is very knowledgeable.
However, anyone who has attended middle school in China should be familiar with such a famous painting as Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait", because there is an article in the Chinese textbook specifically about Van Gogh and his painting "Self-Portrait".
Li Jinghan recalled quickly and said, "The auction of such world-famous paintings is very sensational. I remember that this painting was bought by a Frenchman."
He meant it very euphemistically, could it be a fake?
Su Jianmin quickly said, "That Frenchman is the person in charge of our Paris branch."
"No, it's said that he is a rich French man." Li Jinghan's relevant memories came out.
Hong Kong is an auction paradise. Various auctions are held almost every day. There are also many auctions of world-class art. In addition, the auction has a deep connection with finance itself. Moreover, Li Jinghan often receives various auctions.
He couldn't refuse invitations to charity auctions where some heavyweights would attend, so he was quite familiar with this area.
Su Jianmin said, "He is a French tycoon, and he is mainly responsible for Dongfang Petroleum's business in France. What Governor Li doesn't know is that we have a close cooperative relationship with France's Total Energy Company. The business in France is more important, and the branch is responsible for
He has done a good job and has received a lot of dividends in recent years."
"Dongfang Petroleum holds 17% of France's Total Energy and is the second largest shareholder." Yao Yuan said simply.
Li Jinghan suddenly gasped.
Deputy Director Zhuo asked in confusion, "How big is France's Total Energy Company?"
Li Jinghan said, "It ranks third in the world."
Deputy Director Zhuo also began to gasp.
In fact, if you include the shares of Total Energy held by Societe Generale, Yao Yuan's direct and indirect control of Total Energy's shares exceeds 25%, because the French Ward Investment Group is currently the largest shareholder of Societe Generale.
31% of the shares!
Waving his hand, Yao Yuan got to the point and said, "I'm going to raise the international oil price. Are you two interested?"
Raise international oil prices?
Deputy Director Zhuo said subconsciously, "The international oil price can't be raised just because it rises, right? Xiao Yao, there are only a few of us here, please explain to me."
Everyone was silent, Yao Yuan and Su Jianmin were smiling, and Li Jinghan was a little embarrassed.
Finally, Li Jinghan whispered, "Director Zhuo, Dongfang Petroleum does have the ability to affect the rise and fall of international oil prices..."
Deputy Director Zhuo was preoccupied and still had a disbelieving smile. Until he discovered that Yao Yuan, Su Jianmin and Li Jinghan all had serious expressions, his smile slowly stiffened and then slowly faded away.
Yes, Dongfang Petroleum really has the ability to influence the rise and fall of international oil prices!
