Five hundred and seventieth chapters fall into the trap
The United States has officially announced that it will once again enter Iraq to conduct what they call a military operation to protect the democratic regime.
Moreover, the first batch of 50,000 American soldiers has arrived in Kuwait, and subsequent troops have been fully equipped and will be sent to the front line one after another.
Because almost all heavy equipment was stored in Kuwait during the large-scale withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, there was no heavy logistical pressure on this large-scale military mobilization.
Therefore, compared with the previous two Iraq wars, the logistics efficiency and troop mobilization speed of the Americans this time have been significantly improved compared with the past.
Group after group of American soldiers with light weapons in their hands took transport planes across the world's widest ocean, far away from their homeland and arrived in the deserted Kuwait.
After taking out the heavy weapons sealed in the secret base warehouse, they set up a formation on the Iraqi border and were ready to enter Iraq to fight a great war for democracy and freedom.
As a barometer of world oil prices, New York oil futures trading quickly transformed the explosive tensions in the Middle East into a driving force for a sharp rise in oil prices.
US$81, US$83, and even hit a record high of US$85.73 yesterday. Although it fell back to US$85.34 per barrel at the close, it also set a record high closing price.
Facing the increasingly explosive situation in the Middle East and the increasingly prominent problem of world energy supply shortage.
Market participants generally believe that oil prices will continue to rise, will remain so for a long time, and may break through the integer mark of 90 US dollars per barrel.
Based on discussions between himself and Chavez, he also came to the conclusion that oil prices will continue to rise upwards.
But what makes Ren Xiaoyao a little uneasy is that according to the information he snooped from the three super main bookmakers, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, and Quantum, these three financial giants are quietly converting their long orders into short orders.
Going with the trend is an eternal truth in the futures market. Could it be that these three financial giants are preparing to go against the trend and go short against the entire market with the strength of the three?
Since entering the futures market, Ren Xiaoyao, who has always been invincible, is confused for the first time!
Looking at the display on the screen, these selling orders are most likely coming from the three financial giants and are gradually increasing.
Ren Xiaoyao reached out and switched his computer to satellite confidential video communication mode. After discussing with Chavez in New York, he finally made the decision and began to tentatively sell off his long orders to reduce the pressure on Long Yunbi Fund's position.
But what Ren Xiaoyao never dreamed of was that the satellite-encrypted video conversation between himself and Chavez would be placed on Soros' desk through the hands of the CIA two hours later.
"We have been so evasive but we were still discovered by the other party. This little fox from Red China is still cunning enough!" Soros muttered to himself while looking at the call record in his hand, and became more determined in his heart.
Determined to destroy this cunning little Chinese fox before its wings mature.
Picking up an intercom phone that was placed alone on his desk, Soros said seriously: "I am Soros, President of Quantum Fund. Please pick up Mr. President for me."
"What's going on?" Late the next night, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask while sitting at his desk looking at the laptop in front of him after peeking at the transaction records in the computer database of Goldman Sachs, Morgan, and Quantum.
Come on.
The three financial giants who were gradually selling long orders yesterday and quietly taking in short orders, today uncharacteristically began to take long orders and significantly raised the oil price. It really made Ren Xiaoyao feel a little confused. It was really a bit messy.
I don’t know what kind of drama they are singing.
For some reason, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly had an idea that he thought was ridiculous: "Is that old fox Soros getting old and suffering from Alzheimer's disease?"
Of course, Ren Xiaoyao would not take this extremely ridiculous idea seriously. Although Soros has a high status in the American financial community, he cannot be like the emperor of ancient China who can dominate the world with one hand.
Even if he really had a sudden onset of Alzheimer's disease, wouldn't the presidents of two fund investment companies, Shanda and Morgan, also have Alzheimer's disease at the same time?
Thinking that his head was swollen, Ren Xiaoyao still couldn't figure out the reason for this, so he had to ask Chavez again for advice on the other side of the ocean. After all, he was a professional in this field.
At this time, Chavez, who lived in the same city as the three financial giants, was also raising his fist and smashing it on his head. The completely unreasonable trading methods of the three fund companies made him confused.
I can't figure it out.
The computer beeped twice, and Chavez also switched the computer to the satellite encrypted channel, and then connected to the signal from distant China.
"Dear Chavez, do you, an expert, have any opinions on the strange trend of the June light crude oil futures contract in the past two days?" Ren Xiaoyao asked first.
"Dear boss, if it were me, I would choose to temporarily quit waiting and watching, because the strange trends in the futures market these days have given me a faint smell of conspiracy." Chavez said solemnly.
"Quit and wait and see!" Although Ren Xiaoyao also felt that this was a very wise choice, after all, the superpower he possessed could ensure that he could continue to earn a lot of money safely in the future.
However, the opportunity for a war to cause soaring oil prices is a rare opportunity to make money that only occurs every few years.
Moreover, this time he mobilized a huge amount of nearly 30 billion US dollars, and finally retreated in despair. Ren Xiaoyao was really unwilling to accept it.
Ren Xiaoyao lowered his head and smoked the cigarette in his hand and thought seriously for a while, then raised his head and asked: "How much liquidity do we still have on hand now?"
"There are still about 10 billion." Chavez replied immediately without thinking.
"Stop all operations for the time being. We'd better observe carefully for two days before making any further decisions." After Ren Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, he finally made the decision to wait and see what happens.
Two hours later, the record of the conversation between Ren Xiaoyao and Chavez was once again handed over to Soros by the CIA.
Looking at the conversation record between the two, Soros finally showed a knowing smile on his face.
This little fox from Red China is still a bit young after all. He will pay a heavy price for his indecision. Although he cannot annihilate Long Yunbi Fund in one fell swoop this time, it is enough to make this Chinese-funded enterprise shake its muscles.
