Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 653 Greedy Capital

As it turned out, by the end of June and the beginning of July, international crude oil futures prices could no longer hold up.

In the next two weeks, international crude oil futures prices will plummet by more than ten million yuan.

If you calculate the time, the price dropped by almost 1 million yuan a day.

So taking advantage of the opportunity when the price jumped to more than 95 million yuan, Luo Yang directed the traders to buy in batches, controlling the amount to 500 lots each time. After more than an hour, a total of 3500 lots were bought in the repeated non-sideways trading.

Together with the 6000 lots purchased in three installments before, the invested funds already account for about 8% of the total position.

"That's it. Don't do anything in the next week."

Luo Yang rubbed his temples and said with a slightly tired look: "Just arrange for someone to watch the market every day."

"Understood, Chairman."

Zhao Pengcheng said knowingly, "In addition to me, arrange at least two people to keep an eye on the market in the near future. If there are drastic fluctuations in crude oil prices, I will contact you immediately."

"Ah."

Luo Yang walked to the rest area, sat down on the sofa and said, "Thank you for your hard work recently."

"Being able to witness the chairman's miracles in person is an opportunity that many people would not be able to ask for. How can I feel it is hard?"

Zhao Pengcheng sincerely praised: "If we can recruit a futures operation team before mid-July and let them see the chairman's trading ability, the difficulty of integrating the team will be reduced by several levels at once."

If Luo Yang wasn't thick-skinned, he would have almost blushed.

"Boss, will this wave of decline continue for a long time?"

Compared with Zhao Pengcheng, a master who has both professional ability and workplace emotional intelligence, Chu Jing is far behind.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, she asked her boss: "How did you determine that the 95-yuan mark would not hold tonight? There were so many contracts being sold and bought in the market just now, how did you determine that the continuous price surges were meant to lure more buyers?"

A young man with no knowledge of financial expertise could ask questions that could cost Luo Yang his life.

how to answer?

"If you have time recently, pay more attention to the international situation, especially the OPEC oil-producing countries."

Luo Yang could only be mysterious: "Also, don't always stare at tonight's candlestick chart. Take some time to look at the crude oil price fluctuation curve for the first half of the year."

Chu Jing was frightened. After a moment's pause, he nodded and said, "I understand, Boss."

"Secretary Chu, you are a finance major, so you should know who holds the pricing power for international bulk commodities. To analyze the national futures market, you cannot do without observing the United States and the U.S. dollar, and you cannot do without understanding and analyzing the world situation."

Zhao Pengcheng also spoke at this time: "The knowledge learned in class and books is only the foundation. If you want to achieve results in actual operation, you must combine a lot of information analysis. Under this premise, the technical indicators of the K-line chart are meaningful."

"Thank you Mr. Zhao for your advice."

Chu Jing expressed his sincere gratitude: "Although I had some contact with it during the internship, I have not been in the front line of operations since graduation, so now a lot of knowledge is still limited to theory. In fact, the teacher in the professional course also taught me this, but I forgot it."

With a background from a prestigious university like Chu Jing, as long as he works in a professional position for two or three years, he will at least become a veteran with practical experience, if not a master in the industry.

Of course, there are many positions she can adapt to, such as analyst.

But no matter which position you take, you need to accumulate experience.

But Chu Jing changed three units in two years, and finally left the financial industry and applied for a job in the Lingshi Palace Group's board of directors office, serving as the chairman's financial advisor.

During this period, she was reduced to a part-time secretary and was finally transferred out of the group.

Then there is no more.

After being transferred to Kunpeng Technology as director of the board office, his monthly salary increased to 25K, and he could live a carefree life.

But is this the life she wants?

Chu Jing was stimulated by the class reunion some time ago.

Whether they were in the same dormitory or class, those who were not so good now work in fund companies or securities companies. Those who are doing well have already achieved success in investment banks, with annual salaries of four or five hundred thousand yuan and generous year-end bonuses.

In comparison, her so-called persistence seemed a little ridiculous.

When you are in trouble, you must change; when you change, you will succeed.

Chu Jing, who had figured it out, sent a signal to Wen Wan, and was accepted.

So there was an opportunity to enter the financial field again.

As for the interest bundling a few hours ago, it seems that there is no loss.

Getting back on track, Chu Jing felt like time was running out.

The fact that she asked her boss so rashly just now was a reflection of her anxious mentality. It shouldn't have happened to her, but it happened anyway.

Fortunately, the big boss doesn't care.

"Chairman, what is the alert price level we should pay attention to this time?"

Just when Chu Jing was alert and reflecting on himself, Zhao Pengcheng opened his mouth and asked questions that everyone was concerned about.

"During this week, pay attention to the price level of 85 million yuan per barrel."

Luo Yang gave a rough reference price: "Once it falls below this price, even if it is just a temporary breakthrough, you must notify me immediately."

Although he knew that crude oil prices would reach their lowest point this year in mid-July, he could no longer remember the exact date.

Who knows if there will be a sudden crash one day.

In the first half hour, the price was still at 83 or 84 million yuan, but in the second half hour it fell to the lowest price of 78 million yuan.

Luo Yang therefore took out an insurance policy and set the warning price at 85 million yuan.

Once he arrives, he will follow the trading team and keep a close eye on the market.

"85m yuan per barrel?"

Zhao Pengcheng also showed a surprised expression at this time: "Chairman, do you think the price of crude oil futures will continue to fall below 85 million yuan per barrel?"

Based on previous observations, Zhao Pengcheng believes that the downward trend in crude oil futures prices will definitely continue for some time.

Moreover, the time has been roughly determined. It is likely to be the days when the company's fund products go online. At that time, Luo Yang is likely to use this money to enter the US crude oil futures market and buy the bottom and go long on crude oil futures.

But he didn't expect the price to fall so low.

You should know that more than two months ago, the price of crude oil was still above 120 million yuan per barrel.
"Some people intend to take advantage of the uncertain situation to suppress crude oil prices and take the opportunity to buy up stocks, but OPEC and other major oil-producing countries will definitely not sit idly by. Production cuts will be inevitable, and the action will not be small."

If Luo Yang was asked to give details at this moment, he couldn't.

But there is no pressure to talk nonsense.

"Wall Street is also taking advantage of the production cuts to reap another wave of profits!"

Zhao Pengcheng immediately came up with the idea: "When you can't control it, just go with the flow. Damn, just like the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, the real big guys had already left the market in advance, and when the big thunder broke out, they turned around and harvested high-quality assets on the verge of bankruptcy all over the world."

“The reason why we judged this price range is that we analyzed the nature of the people on Wall Street.”

Several memory fragments flashed through Luo Yang's mind. After rubbing them together, he explained: "Referring to the fluctuation range of international crude oil prices in previous years, it can be seen that Wall Street capital still does not want crude oil prices to collapse without greater profits to be reaped. Especially since the beginning of the past two years, the global economy has gradually emerged from the downturn, and industrial indexes of various countries have seen an upward trend. Against this background, too low crude oil prices will not be conducive to promoting economic recovery, and too high crude oil prices will increase the U.S. inflation index." Generally speaking, the country's crude oil prices cannot be too low, but they cannot be outrageously high either.

This is a tacit understanding formed privately among Wall Street capital and major oil-producing countries such as OPEC.

As for the fact that the national crude oil futures price fell to more than 30 million yuan during certain periods of time later, it was due to special reasons.

The reason is that Wall Street capital sees greater benefits than harvesting the crude oil futures market.

Don't think this is a fantasy.

As early as the 1970s and 1980s, the United States did this. While engaging in an arms race and depleting the economy of its opponents, they also tried their best to lower the price of crude oil to prevent their opponents from having a chance to replenish their blood.
Relying on this set of small combos, he defeated his biggest opponent.

Then it pounces on its opponent and feeds on his corpse, absorbing nutrients to enrich itself.

Because of the successful dismemberment of a huge empire and the feasting on it, the United States became invincible in the 1990s.

There is nothing new under the sun.

When the United States fell into trouble again, they thought of this trick again.

At first, he wanted to take over Tokyo University, but unfortunately, due to several coincidences, he missed the opportunity. When there were no more constraints, he found that he could no longer do anything, so he set his sights on his old rival.

It’s still a silky little combo.

The means of suppressing crude oil prices and preventing opponents from replenishing their blood were once again demonstrated to the world, so that during that period, the price of international crude oil per barrel was only more than 30 US dollars, which was unbelievably low.

Later, it even developed into sanctions.
Zhao Pengcheng couldn't see what happened several years later, so he didn't quite understand what he heard.

Chu Jing, on the other hand, had a thoughtful expression.

But this time she learned her lesson and did not express her opinions and views casually.

Chu Jing planned to wait and see.

If Luo Yang's conclusion and the final result are proven to be correct, then by deducing some other viewpoints based on this result, perhaps we can follow this thread to find the source of our boss's ideas.

And some information needs to be checked and verified by yourself.

Thinking of this, Chu Jing did not stay in the rest area any longer. While Luo Yang and Zhao Pengcheng were chatting, he went to watch the market.

"Boss, your tea."

Wen Wan has a clear positioning of herself, which is to provide good service.

"We'll be busy all day tomorrow, so you and Secretary Chu should go back later and catch up on some sleep."

Luo Yang took the teacup and said, "I went home late, so I might not be able to get to the company until after ten tomorrow morning."

"It's okay. I've already slept for three or four hours before coming here. I won't be able to fall asleep even if I go back now. I might as well broaden my horizons here."

"As you wish."

Luo Yang didn't force it.

"Chairman, I have another matter to report to you."

Zhao Pengcheng took the initiative to take over Wen Wan's words at this time: "The Miss Xiang you brought here last time has already started her internship in the company."

"Oh?"

Luo Yang was surprised and asked, "So fast, she doesn't know anything now, what did you arrange for her to do?"

"Miss Xiang is very studious. She reads professional books on finance in the library in the morning and comes to the company to do odd jobs in the afternoon. If she doesn't understand something, she will ask. Because she has asked, people in the company are willing to answer her questions."

Zhao Pengcheng sincerely praised: "Ms. Xiang is very smart and sensitive to numbers. She is a good material. After receiving systematic financial professional knowledge indoctrination at Fudan University in the future, she will definitely become an outstanding professional."

Wen Wan, who was standing by, pricked up her ears when she heard this.

"Well, let's leave it like this for now."

Luo Yang nodded and said, "You don't have to treat her specially, just make sure she isn't bullied."

"Boss, it's fallen below the 94 mark!"

Chu Jing, who was chatting in the rest area and staring at the market, suddenly shouted: "The price of crude oil has fallen to 93.67 million yuan per barrel!"

"It's a drop, not an increase. Why are you so excited?"

Luo Yang responded to Chu Jing lightly.

Well.
Chu Jing felt as if his neck was strangled and he suddenly became quiet.

But her cheeks flushed.

"What do you want to say?"

Seeing her expression, Luo Yang asked with a smile: "Is it because you made money, and you want me to give the order to settle it now, so that you can put the money in your pocket?"

Chu Jing quickly shook his head.

"Boss, in just the past half hour or so, the floating profit is nearly 2 million yuan."

Chu Jing said excitedly: "You bought 3500 lots before, and these alone have made a profit of 900 million Mi Yuan!"

"Secretary Chu, it's a good thing you didn't come over a few nights ago."

Zhao Pengcheng interrupted with a smile: "The chairman won 2000 million yuan in half an hour. At that time, two of Mr. Luo's friends were there, and they were more excited than you are now."

Chu Jing was stunned for a moment, blushed, and then thought of the cocktail party tomorrow night.

No wonder the boss is so confident in launching a fund product with a scale of 1 million yuan and making the returns so high. It turns out that in the international crude oil futures market, a 50% return is nothing.
With an 80x leverage, doubling the principal is just a drop in the bucket.

Of course, at this time she would not think about the losses under the 80 times leverage. If she is not careful, her position will be liquidated and she will lose all her money!
"I'll give you a chance to trade on the spot."

At this time Luo Yang said, "Keep an eye on the real-time data of the market. If the crude oil price exceeds 95 US dollars again, you are allowed to place an order to buy 200 to 500 lots and go short. As for the price above 95 to buy, it is up to you to decide."

These words stunned Chu Jing.

One lot is 1 barrels of crude oil. If you buy it at 1000 million US dollars per barrel, it will cost 95 US dollars.

With 20 times leverage, 500 lots would be 4750 million Miyuan.

Without a computer, she could make a rough calculation in her mind. As long as the crude oil price rose by about 65 cents based on her purchase price, the 500 short positions would be liquidated!
Of course, because the position is not fully invested, the position can be replenished in time, and such terrible consequences will not occur.

But in Chu Jing's eyes, it was already terrifying.

"how?"

Seeing Chu Jing standing there in a daze, Luo Yang smiled and said, "Don't you dare?"

Under the boss's gaze, Secretary Chu bit his lip, turned around silently, and stared at the fluctuations in crude oil prices on the market.

How could I not want this opportunity that I finally got?
