silent farm

Chapter 317 Confidence
Before Hassan's team negotiated with the Brazilian government, the words between Li Sheng and him and Ali were meaningless.Moreover, Li Sheng couldn't help much with this matter, at most he could just wave the flag and shout.

Ali and Hassan stayed in Silent Agricultural Bank for more than a week, and then flew to the United States together.After they left, Li Sheng found that the price of crude oil quickly exceeded $120 a barrel.And still climbing up slowly in the shock.And all kinds of good news have also begun to come out one after another. Although it is not heavy, it seems to have verified the market's optimism that oil prices can rise to 150 or even 180 US dollars.

It’s just Li Sheng’s intentional or unintentional hints during Ali’s visit this time, knowing that this time crude oil prices will not continue to rise as analysts said.

From the next few days, Li Sheng found a very interesting image.That's like the performance of the dealer in the stock market as the dealer.

If he hadn't decided that the rise in crude oil prices had basically reached a bottleneck, he might really think that the market maker is holding back another rise.He has already started to let Luo Zheng's team close their positions quietly.As for Finn, he made an excuse that he needed funds and planned to withdraw.

Perhaps it was because the overall situation was settled now, Finn did not delay in his request to Li Sheng, and liquidated his position in just a few days.And transfer his part of the funds to the account designated by Li Sheng.

Li Sheng handed over the funds to the accountants of the management team for calculation. When the last two funds are added up and various interest and taxes are paid out, he can have a net income of 140 billion US dollars, and the profit rate is close to 100%.It has to be said that the financial speculation market is indeed the most profitable place. One day it may double your worth, or it may turn you into a beggar.

Of course, he was able to make such a profit this time, mainly because he did not operate too much, and such operations were very risky, and he did not conduct risk-averse combination operations at all.

Judging from his profits, this wave of oil prices has attracted a lot of hot money to participate.And he has withdrawn $140 billion from this hot money.Of course, this is also because his funds are all his own, not borrowed from the bank.Moreover, he is not greedy, the leverage he uses is not high, and he is on the middle line, and he has basically never sold it after opening a position.Bank interest expenses and operating costs are not a lot.

With this ratio of profits, plus his capital, he now has more than $300 billion in his account.In addition, he still has 40 billion euros stored in several European banks, which is the payment for the products of Silent Farm that Fernando represented in Europe in the past two years.He never touched the money, after all, the dollar has been depreciating.

In addition, in Huaxia's bank, he still has tens of billions of yuan in deposits, and after the summer grain harvest, countries around the world will purchase grain seeds. In autumn, he should be able to get more than 100 billion after-tax dividends from New East Asia. In addition to the agricultural products sold in China, that is not a small sum of money.

Li Sheng couldn't find a better investment for this money, so he came up with a plan.

Now he can see that this wave of crude oil prices will end within a month.In this hype of spreading flowers and beating drums, the person who finally takes over the futures is the loser.Perhaps some of the original long parties have begun to change hands and short positions now.

Thinking of this possibility, he asked Luo Zheng's trading team to investigate the market.

Although such an investigation is only a rough judgment, the news given by that team is that empty orders have indeed begun to increase.

It's just that the increase in empty orders is not very fast. It looks like someone is betting that oil prices will fall.So the bulls don't think that's going to turn things around.

Li Sheng also planned to take a gamble.It was the team that used the funds in his account that had not been withdrawn to backhand short with five times leverage.

In the next 20 days or so, crude oil prices basically rose slowly, but the strength of the short side is also growing.

On the last trading day at the end of June, the oil price had reached 140 US dollars, and at this time, he had lost more than 30 billion US dollars.And his account still has more than 100 billion.Li Sheng noticed that the market had just opened that day, and the trading volume during the centralized bidding stage was very large.And oil prices fell about 1% to begin with.

However, many parties soon made efforts again. In just one hour, the closing price of the previous trading day rose by 0.5%.During this period of time, the contest between the long and short sides was very intense, as if the short side wanted to prevent oil prices from breaking through the price of 150 at all costs.

But the parties seem to be more powerful.No matter how many sell orders the short side throws out, it will be eaten instantly.

Li Sheng kept staring at this curve. When the market closed in the middle, he finally made up his mind and asked the team to use 80 billion to sell with [-] times leverage after the market reopened in the afternoon.

After issuing this command, Li Sheng stopped staring at the curve.What happened in the end was out of his control.It's either a mess of losses or waiting until the delivery date to make a large profit.

But today, even if all the more than 200 billion yuan is lost, his loss is actually not too big.At most, it is a loss of 60 billion.Although it was a lot of money, he could afford it.

On this day, it was the weekend in China, and Li Sheng received a call from Tia at night.He has not been to Huaxia for more than three months. This is the longest time since he sent Tia to Huaxia.

Tia is about to go on summer vacation, and of course she has to take a final exam before the vacation.Tia first chatted with him for a while, and when it was almost twelve o'clock on Li Sheng's side, Tia asked a question that surprised him: "Li, can I skip a grade?"

"Skip a grade? What grade to skip?" Li Sheng didn't understand what she meant for a while.

"I am in the first year of high school this year, but this semester, I have already studied the courses of the second year of high school by myself. I heard that if the grades meet certain standards, I can skip a grade. I want to try it, is it possible?"

Li Sheng didn't expect that she wanted to go directly to the third year of high school.Although he has been away from school for a long time, he also knows that in the three years of high school, the sophomore year is the most important.The third year of high school is just reviewing.Therefore, very few people skip a grade in high school, but it is often heard that those who go directly to university in the second year of high school.

Tia waited for a while and didn't hear his answer. She was a little disappointed and said: "Li, I'm just asking. In fact, I think there are many knowledge points that I haven't grasped very firmly. In fact, I think it's more beneficial for me to go to school normally. .”

Li Sheng couldn't tell that what she said was wrong, but after thinking about it, he didn't object to Tia's skipping a grade.He never thought that she would be admitted to some prestigious university in the end.

In China, high school is actually the peak stage of exam-oriented education. At this stage, apart from the possible improvement in grades, students in the school will not benefit much in other aspects.Now it seems that Tia's academic performance is very good, so there is no need to spend time in school.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "If you want to skip a grade, try it."

"You really think I should skip a grade?" Tia asked cautiously. "Are you really not angry?"

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Why am I angry? But don't study too hard in the future."

Tia's plan to try to skip a grade did not leave any disturbance in Li Sheng's heart.

After dealing with some things the next day, he turned on his computer and found that the headlines on the news website were that OPEC countries agreed to increase Venezuelan crude oil production by 200 million barrels per day.

"We have noticed that the high oil price has affected the normal operation of the world economy. At the same time, in order to promote the recovery of Venezuela's domestic economy, we have specially passed Venezuela's request to increase production." This is the reason given by the Secretary-General of OPEC.

"We will decide whether to adjust the total production of the organization again depending on the specific situation of crude oil prices." The Secretary-General replied when asked by reporters whether he would adjust crude oil production again in the short term. "Our OPEC organization agrees that it is reasonable to maintain the price of crude oil between US$[-] and US$[-] per barrel."

When he saw the news, he knew that the price of oil was bound to plummet.It's just that it's a day off in the Western Hemisphere.

And the next day, he saw news about oil prices again.China and Kazakhstan signed a $160 billion contract to buy natural gas and crude oil.

From this news, Li Sheng can see that Huaxia should also be involved in this wave of market prices.

After seeing two major bad news in two crude oil trading markets, Li Sheng was completely relaxed.The next morning, he called Thomas and asked him to apply for a landing permit from Huaxia Lingang.

Tia is about to go on summer vacation, and he hasn't been to Huaxia for quite a while.And the things that he needs to worry about on the farm have basically come to an end.So he plans to go to Huaxia now.According to past experience, when Huaxia approved his plane to land, by that time, Tia should have already started the final exam.

But to his surprise, Thomas actually reported to him the next day: "Li, Huaxia Lingang International Airport has come to inform that our application for landing has been approved, and asked us to confirm the specific landing date of the plane." time."

Li Sheng never expected that this application would be approved so quickly.But after thinking about it, he thought it might have something to do with Feng Xiaoting handing over the bacteria to Huaxia officials.Maybe some people in Huaxia are waiting for him to pass.

He was not sure whether it was a cage or flowers that greeted him.But this time he still had to go.And he also believed that even if Huaxia wanted to control him, they would not take action immediately.

No one who can be in a high position is an idiot.The more you covet something, the less you will snatch it without absolute certainty.Once the snatch is unsuccessful, there will be no chance of cooperation for a share of the pie.Although cooperation cannot monopolize all benefits, at least one benefit can be held in hand.Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in the hand. It is the best way to hold what is in the hand and then think about what is on others.

As for the worries about someone suspecting that there is some secret in him, and catching him and slicing him.He never had.Because people with that ability are not lunatics, and those scientific lunatics do not have this ability.Even if someone knows his secret, no country dares to detain him easily now, because the gain outweighs the loss.Not to mention wanting to kill him to get what he wanted from him.That kind of stupid thing that does no good, maybe only the protagonist in the novel would think it is reasonable.
