Chapter 771 The Simpler the Method, the More Effective It Is
Li Changheng originally thought that this group of people would at least hesitate, knowing that he was using them, and at the same time he had to agree to it for his own benefit.
Unexpectedly, the six shareholders who have deep connections in the political circle agreed without even thinking about it.
Since Li Changheng agreed to transfer 37 million US dollars of crude oil futures, he avoided the trouble of shareholders and management present who had to raise tens of millions of US dollars within ten or twenty minutes.
Everyone was on the phone while watching Li Changheng's operations, expecting him to buy gold.
Focus on other financial products, or company shares.
Unfortunately, Li Changheng has always known the importance of keeping secrets.
Moreover, except for oil companies that are bound to be sought after like gold and crude oil, it is not so easy to talk to him and take advantage of him.
After the money from the US$100 million fund established by Li Changheng bought all the spot gold within 8 minutes.
The 170 million in the account of Citigroup's investment department began to be seamlessly connected, and continued to compete with gold speculators for the spot in the market.
Moreover, the goal of grabbing goods has also been extended to the stocks of Shell and Mobil.
In this way, while everyone in the investment department was relieved, the shareholders who wanted to test which target Li Changheng was eyeing felt helpless and unwilling.
At this time, all fools know that the first target is crude oil spot, and the second target is the stocks of large oil companies outside the desert area.
At 5:50 in the morning, after all the 170 million funds were spent, Li Changheng rejected the shareholders' proposal to treat him to breakfast.
It took about 40 minutes to get home and Anne, who hadn't slept soundly after a night of worrying, had breakfast and held her while she continued to sleep.
The vast majority of people in the entire United States know that the desert has opened up again through newspapers, radio, television and other media.
Some people are excited, some people are anxious.
But most Americans don't really care about it.
However, for financial practitioners and investors.
Although the news was known late, there are still countless ordinary investors flocking to the stock exchange and futures exchange.
Waving banknotes to snap up crude oil and gold.
And the real big crocodile has already been arranged, and it is waiting for the massive funds in the hands of countless ordinary investors to raise the prices of various financial products again.
Once sold at the peak, the arbitrage left the market, and then backhanded short, the vast majority of leeks are destined to be takers.
However, the drama of this war should cause a lot of capital to fall into it, and even lose it.
As soon as the war started, countless forces thought that the Egyptians would not be able to break through the 25-meter-high sand wall defense line built by the Jews on the Western Front at a cost of 500 million U.S. dollars in a short time.
But just like the French Maginot Line back then, no matter how good the fortification is, people can always find weaknesses.
Mustache's troops were bypassing the Maginot Line.
Egyptians are more simple and direct.
Under the cover of artillery fire and aircraft, a pontoon bridge was built and more than a dozen high-power water guns were mobilized.
Using the water in the canal, the sand wall built for 500 million U.S. dollars to prevent surprise attacks by armored forces was easily washed away.
No matter how strong the defensive bunker behind the breach was, it was because it was a fixed building.
The distance that can be attacked is really limited, and it is easily overwhelmed and destroyed by 1,200 tanks.
In addition to the day of Yom Kippur, the whole of Israel, including the soldiers, was on vacation. The Egyptian armored forces rushed through the canal and quickly advanced the front line by dozens of kilometers.
By the time the Israelites reacted, the war had already broken through from the door to the hinterland.
Afterwards, other countries in the desert area saw that the war was going so smoothly, and five countries successively contributed money to support or even participated in the war, which almost made Yiselie despair.
Fortunately, the Americans will definitely not give up, their little brother and nail in the desert area.
Almost all the transport planes that can support the past in a short period of time have been mobilized, and various materials have been transported 24 hours a day for support.
Even fighter jets flew directly over with weapons from bases such as aircraft carriers and South Asia.
Then the air-to-surface missiles made a great contribution, and the armored units that the Egyptians rushed in were out of touch with the air defense units because they advanced too fast.
As a result, a large number of tanks were destroyed by air-to-surface missiles, which delayed the further penetration of the armored forces.
And this is the turning point of this desert war.
But for investors in the market, they are worried that the war will be over in a short time and the oil price will fall back soon.
A large number of investors began to sell crude oil futures in their hands, wanting to arbitrage and leave the market.
Suddenly, the oil price rose from 3 US dollars to 4.5 US dollars, and fell back to 3.6 US dollars in just three days.
"Henry, shall we throw it away?"
In the investment department of Citigroup, not to mention the previous 6 shareholders, there are not only 21 shareholders, but also Bo Yin and other major shareholders of companies that own Citigroup shares.
Because many people in the market were throwing money, but Li Changheng, a big banker who had anticipated the war, did not make any moves and had to appear in front of him.
"If you want to leave, you decide for yourself." At such a critical moment, Li Changheng will of course not reveal any thoughts.
Anyway, if I remember correctly, 2 days later, the Yiselie people not only stabilized the line of defense, but also began to show a tendency to counterattack.
In order to win this war, or become angry from embarrassment, the desert tyrants will unite to announce production cuts and embargo oil shipments to the United States and European countries that help Israel.
The price of oil doubled in an instant. As time goes by, the price of crude oil will easily exceed 10 US dollars in the next two months, and there is no intention of stopping at all. It will break through to 12 US dollars all the way.
At the peak next year, it will even exceed 13 US dollars, forcing the economic growth rate of the entire capital country to show a sub-growth.
When Li Changheng saw Taylor and the first group of people who trusted him, his face was full of anxiety and even fear.
Can't help but sigh, some people are adventurous.
But some timid people, when they can't bear the pressure, the ghost knows what unwise or even stupid things they will do.
Besides, he can earn 2 or 3 times when he buys it back, and he will never suffer a loss, and no one can blame him in the end.
Even to a certain extent, it is actually a good thing for losers and losers to appear.
He smiled and said to Taylor and others, "How about I buy the 12.13 million barrels of crude oil sold to you at a transaction price of US$3.4?"
Because it was a surprise attack, the transaction price of the 12.13 million barrels of crude oil a week ago was US$3.05. When it was sold to Taylor and others, it certainly could not be the cost price.
The 6 shareholders and 5 managers including Taylor were taken aback when they heard this, and then some people showed surprise expressions on their faces, and more people stabilized their minds thoughtfully.
I began to wonder why Li Changheng was still so calm.
Little did they know, Li Changheng himself was feeling lucky.
And although he didn't lend 80 million U.S. dollars, Taylor and others also provided him with 100 million U.S. dollars to operate, so he didn't panic when he had money.
Of course, there is also the gold futures that have risen from 120 US dollars to 140 US dollars as a guarantee. No matter how the oil price changes, he will not panic at all.
Then I began to rejoice at this opportunity to make money, and I didn't increase leverage.
