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

Chapter 816 Private Money

For Luo Yang, this is called making rational use of resources.

Anyway, the promotion in Shanghai is divided according to districts, and most of his businesses in Shanghai are located in Minhang District. Whether in terms of job creation or tax revenue, the scale is not small.

It's only right that the district provides some policy support to people like this.

Although Lü Lin is not the leader in charge of urban management, Luo Yang is offering industrial investment as a catalyst, and I believe the district will give him face.

"Also, please inform Xiao Wei and Su Jin from the board office to attend the research activity tomorrow afternoon."

Since the main purpose is related to the promotion of shared bicycles, it is natural to involve the person in charge of Edifier Technology. As for why not Song Wan, she will be transferred to take charge of Guobao Film and Television next year, so let Xiao Wei shoulder more responsibility.

As for Su Jin from the board office, she is responsible for the group's media relations, so she definitely has to attend these kinds of events.

Wen Wan understood the meaning behind Luo Yang's words and immediately wrote them down.

"Mr. Zhao Pengcheng called last weekend and invited you to Gray Rhino Capital on Wednesday morning to report on the details of our first fund product."

"What's the specific time?"

"Mr. Zhao didn't say, but it should be that we just need to go there in the morning."

"Then let's do it after 10 o'clock."

Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "I have a dinner party on Tuesday night. I don't know if I'll drink too much."

"Understood, I'll reply to Mr. Zhao later and let him know when you arrived."

While taking notes, Wenwan asked, "Who from the board office is arranging to accompany you?"

While Luo Yang was abroad, Chu Jing was keeping an eye on Gray Rhino's business, which is why he specifically asked that question.

It's not that she's gentle and modest.

Although Luo Yang had previously said he would help her familiarize herself with Gray Rhino's business, the recent changes have been so significant that Wen Wan feels she needs to tone it down a bit.

Come to think of it, she is now Luo Yang's assistant and also serves as the director of the board office. Moreover, just half an hour ago, Luo Yang officially finalized her appointment as the group's board secretary.

Wen Wan now holds multiple positions, making her a true senior executive in the group.

Moreover, in a few months, her boss will start a smartphone manufacturing company, and she will serve as its vice president.

Chu Jing's current position is Deputy Director of the Board Office. Under these circumstances, it seems really unnecessary for him to compete with his subordinates for opportunities.

Luo Yang didn't have so many things on his mind at the moment.

After hearing Wen Wan's question, he looked at her with slight surprise: "Then let Chu Jing accompany me."

He doesn't have the energy to deal with the petty thoughts among his subordinates right now.

The fact that Zhao Pengcheng requested to report on his work at this particular time suggests that something has changed in the US crude oil futures market.

Of course, this change doesn't mean that crude oil prices have plummeted; it means they're about to hit the warning line set by Luo Yang. So, for the next few nights, he'll likely be working overtime in the Gray Rhino's office again.

In mid-July, the price of crude oil in the US crude oil futures market once fell to just over $78 per barrel. At that time, Luo Yang personally directed the traders to go long on international crude oil futures, buying a total of 150,000 lots.

At that time, he instructed Zhao Pengcheng that once the price of crude oil broke through 100 US dollars per barrel, he should start to slowly sell off the positions that had been financed by the bank.

Luo Yang knew that from September 2012 until the end of December, the highest price of crude oil was only slightly over 110 US dollars. Although he didn't know the exact figure, it shouldn't exceed 115 US dollars per barrel.

The funds raised through margin trading are subject to back-end monitoring by the bank. If Luo Yang waits until he maximizes his profits before selling his holdings, he will attract too much attention. This might catch the attention of higher authorities, which is an outcome he doesn't want to see.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Luo Yang will stop making money from the later stages; it just means he will change the way he operates.

Sell ​​off the leveraged positions at around 100 US dollars per barrel, and then use the principal and profits to re-enter the US crude oil futures market. This time, no leverage is used. Although the leverage is much smaller, it also removes the need for back-end supervision.

As Luo Yang pondered these thoughts, he found the computer.

“现在手里握着15万手做多的期指，平均持仓价格在78.5米元/桶左右，假设这几天原油价格达到98.5米元/桶的位置，意味着我已经赚到了15万*1000*20=30亿米元！”

With a series of keystrokes, Luo Yang broke into a bright smile.

This was his original estimated return, and most of the money had been allocated. Of course, some of it was used to advance funds for Lemon CC, because the planned funds included nearly 50 billion yuan from the sale of Lemon CC.

"30 billion is not the limit; what I earn after that is my personal savings."

While happily tapping the calculator buttons, Luo Yang said, "The principal is about 30 million, plus the profit of 3 billion, totaling 33 billion US dollars in principal. If we use 5 times leverage to enter the market, buy at 100 US dollars per barrel and sell at 110 US dollars per barrel, there will still be a floating profit of 10 US dollars per barrel."

At 100 US dollars per barrel, buying one lot would require 1000 barrels, which would cost 100,000 US dollars.

With 33 billion US dollars leveraged 5 times, that's 165 billion US dollars. To be conservative, assuming a 6% position, that's 99 billion US dollars, enough to buy 9.9 lots.

"If we calculate it this way, the second wave of profit would be 9.9 * 1000 * 10 = 9.9 million US dollars."

After roughly calculating the profit, Luo Yang's mood became increasingly cheerful.

This money is all my personal savings!
After December, and once the new year begins, I will finally have some money to spare.

Yachts, private jets, villas—they can buy whatever they want; the so-called life of the wealthy can finally be respectable.
Wen Wan didn't dare to disturb Luo Yang while he was pressing the calculator.

Only after he leaned back in his executive chair did he continue his work report.

"Boss, we have a second round of negotiations with Yongcheng Bank on Wednesday afternoon."

After saying this, Wen Wan paused, observed Luo Yang's expression, and then continued, "Yongcheng Bank specifically informed us that a vice president from their headquarters will be coming, so they are inviting you to attend."

What do you mean by looking at me like that?

Luo Yang was in a very good mood at the moment, so he said in a joking tone, "Or is this negotiation a trap, and there would be danger if I showed up?"

Dong Xuan had told her last night about any major changes at Yongcheng Bank.

"You are going to the provincial capital of Jiangsu Province on Thursday. According to the itinerary, you should depart that night and stay overnight in Nanjing."

Wen Wan immediately replied, "But if the other party has a vice president from the head office, there will definitely be a dinner party tonight. I'm afraid you'll get drunk and miss your evening plans."

"Not really."

Luo Yang waved his hand: "Just tell the truth when the time comes. At these kinds of dinner parties, as long as I don't want to drink too much, no one can force me to drink too much."

Wen Wan nodded; "Then I won't change my itinerary."

After she finished speaking, she added, "You mentioned before that you would be going to Jinling with Mr. Fu Bin from Santai Real Estate. If we are leaving on Wednesday night, it would be best to contact Mr. Fu in advance and arrange a time."

Jiang Yuanshan definitely started from Yang City, but Luo Yang didn't know if there were any high-ranking officials among the people who went with him.
