Chapter 772 Stability Is the Priority
Leverage trading is equivalent to magnifying funds and risks several times, dozens of times.
Of course, the income also increases the corresponding multiple.
If Li Changheng trades with leverage, the more crude oil and copper spot he can eat in the market, the greater the funds on the opposite side.
When the price fell, the market was worried that he, the big banker, would run away. When investors panicked and were uncertain about the future economic trend, the price of oil would fall even more.
Therefore, within 2 or 3 days before the desert tyrants announce production cuts, the price of crude oil may drop below $3 a barrel.
Of course, if the funds in hand are sufficient, when a large number of sell orders appear.
Don't worry about not being able to buy the goods, and eating a lot of them can not only make a lot of money, but also stabilize the hearts of some gamblers in the market to a certain extent.
It's a pity that when crude oil plummets, unless he uses Intel's shares and actually investors' gold as collateral.
Otherwise, no bank would dare to lend him a loan for interest, just to take a gamble.
This is also the reason why many leveraged investors, who clearly predicted the result, fell on the eve of victory.
"Wait, Randall."
Taylor called out Randall Card, who wanted to sell crude oil and left the market at a loss of transaction fees.
Then he looked at Li Changheng and said, "Henry, give us some time to discuss."
Li Changheng shrugged, "No problem."
Taylor quickly grabbed Randall Card, took 11 shareholders and management who bought the 12.13 million barrels of crude oil with him, and went to a conference room
When Li Changheng was willing to buy back crude oil at the original price of US$3.4, he had a hunch that he was not dead set.
Of course, Taylor didn't want any of his 11 people to quit, or be given up by Li Changheng.
And he also understands that once he loses.
Li Changheng will withdraw from the power center of Citigroup in disgrace, and his own result will definitely not be good.
But the difference is that even if Li Changheng loses, he will lose a lot of money and reputation at most, because this action did not use any leverage.
Since Li Changheng can continue to be a rich man worth two to three billion.
Taylor would rather take a gamble and try to fool his friends and supporters, but let Li Changheng see his value.
At least if he really leaves Citigroup in the future, he will always have a job with Li Changheng, right?
And as long as the capital is sufficient, who can be sure that Li Changheng will fail a second time?
Half an hour later, I don't know how Taylor persuaded, not only stabilizing Randall Card and others.
He even talked to 4 people in charge of pension and retirement funds for some unknown reason, so that these people were willing to spend 40 million U.S. dollars and hand it over to Li Changheng for operation.
"God, are you crazy? Or,,."
The person who spoke suddenly turned his head to look at Li Changheng, who was sitting on the boss chair and drinking red wine calmly.
And Alan Gay, the chairman of the board of directors, couldn't bear it anymore and said this time, "Henry, everyone here is your supporter. At this time, you have a hole card. Can you at least reveal some news that can make us feel at ease? Or plans?"
Li Changheng looked at Ai Lun who spoke, and silently began to think whether he should give this group of people some confidence.
Don't look at this old guy who has come here for refuge some time ago, but when something goes wrong, he will definitely be among the people who make trouble.
However, among this group of people, the most urgent one was probably the little Rockefeller who was sent by Rockefeller, who had been sitting silently on the sofa without saying a word.
Dozens of people, following Li Changheng's gaze, quickly understood what he was worried about.
And everyone knew very well that no one could guarantee that dozens of people other than Rockefeller would not leak what Li Changheng said.
Not to mention, most of the people present were in competition with Rockefeller and other consortiums, and no one wanted to make their opponents follow suit because of confidentiality issues.
Of course, on the other hand, if Li Changheng is wrong, it is possible to draw the opponent to lose money together.
This involves whether you are willing to trust Li Changheng at this time.
For Li Changheng, at such a critical moment, making an enemy is absolutely a mindless and wrong decision.
Even, to a large extent, it would be better for everyone to make money than for someone to hold back.
Think carefully for a moment, and make sure that even if an accident occurs, you will not lose money.
After all, the price of crude oil bought two and a half years ago did not exceed US$1.9, and the accident was only a result of a small profit.
Li Changheng tapped his finger on the table, "Gentlemen, I think everyone should understand that no matter how much the oil price falls, it will not fall back to 2 dollars.
Even if it falls below 2 US dollars, I can only accompany 100 to 200 million US dollars at most.
It doesn't break me, it doesn't even break a bone.
And, don't forget, gold is the best safe haven for investors in the market at this time.
One win, one win, I'm still that rich man worth billions. "
Hell, everyone quickly understood what Li Changheng meant by saying this.
Just losing 100 to 200 million U.S. dollars would be very difficult for Li Changheng, but being unable to defeat him meant that Li Changheng still retained a strong ability to fight back.
In addition, if you win a game on gold, even if your reputation is damaged, it will be limited.
Not to mention, everyone bought 12.13 million barrels of crude oil from the island country because of him, although they couldn't guess his specific plan.
But Unknown means that until the last moment, no one knows whether they will win or lose.
Therefore, everyone understands that this is a warning to everyone.
Moreover, once the traitor is found out, not only Li Changheng will become an enemy, but the forces represented by the Citi shareholders present will definitely not let it go.
"I think we must form a temporary alliance of interests." Little Rockefeller, who had been silent all this time, stood up and glanced at everyone.
Then he put his eyes on Li Changheng and said, "Henry, I believe you must know that it is related to crude oil. In this crisis, our interests are the same as yours."
Li Changheng nodded with a smile, "But I also know that if you grow fat, Citigroup and I will face a stronger opponent in the future."
"I know it's true," Rockefeller Jr. smiled, "but the main business has determined that Morgan is Citigroup's biggest competitor.
Several airlines under Rockefeller have been the largest users of Boeing 707 and 747 in the past three years. "
When Li Changheng heard about the airline, he immediately thought of Pan American Airlines, which he had plundered and suffered many disasters in the future, and finally went bankrupt.
But to be honest, Pan American Airlines at this time is definitely the largest airline with the most assets in the United States, or even the world.
Moreover, the first batch of Boeing 747 orders was that Pan American Airlines ordered 25 planes in a gamble, and they were specially used to fly to Europe.
"Henry," Taylor walked up to Li Changheng and whispered without the CEO of Boyin giving him a wink, "Pan Am and other four airlines have orders for large civilian aircraft exceeding US$3 billion a year.
Moreover, in the past decade or so, Rockefeller has even declined in the financial field to the point of needing to cooperate with Morgan.
Perhaps after this time, Citigroup can take over part of Rockefeller's financial business from Morgan. "
