Yue Zhengyu laughed loudly, unbuttoned the two buttons of his red shirt and said, "This futures market is really exciting. It rises in a blink of an eye and falls in a blink of an eye."

He laughed because the oil prices generally rose, with occasional fluctuations of dozens of cents, which only made them feel that their judgment was correct.

The inertia of history is always a little stronger than people expected.

Director Huang stroked his stomach and smiled: "The wind and clouds are changing, and only a few people can seize the opportunity. When I was young, I didn't dare to think of such a good thing."

Yue Zhengyu said happily: "Foreigners fight and Chinese make money. Why do you think we are so happy? It's like giving money."

The four young people were all laughing. In order to make a fortune in war, they raised 500,000 US dollars, which was a huge sum of money. However, it was not enough to be found in the oil futures market. With 10 times the leverage, they could only buy 160,000 barrels of crude oil, and could only be affiliated with the National Reserve Bureau.

Of course, they actually don’t understand futures, and they only know that this can make money. The National Reserve Bureau not only has to help with transactions, but may also help them with the bottom line.

10 times of leverage is very dangerous, and sometimes it is lost in a few minutes. If you need to add a deposit, the yamen have no money, so they can only ask the National Reserve Bureau to come forward.

Director Huang looked at the believers and asked himself, "If they spoke, they would probably have to help me."

But then he thought that the direction of the purchase of the Yaneimen was the same as that of the National Reserve Bureau. If he really lost money, everyone would have to pay. By that time, the National Reserve Bureau would have no time to take care of themselves and there was no time to control them.

However, this situation should not have happened.

Director Huang looked at the number on the screen and said, $33.2, another $1 more than yesterday.

He thought maliciously: If the short price of Dahua Industrial is lower, he will need to add margin now.

Ten times of leverage means that the profit is ten times and the risk is ten times. It is equivalent to purchasing oil futures with a down payment of 10%. If the price changes by 10% in the opposite direction, the margin as the down payment must be increased. Otherwise, the bank will forcibly close the position and make up for its own losses. As a trader, it is naturally a bottom loss.

Director Huang thought of this and looked at four yamen again and said to himself: They should know this rule. It doesn’t matter if they don’t know, as long as the oil price rises, it doesn’t matter.

Oil prices rose by another 8 cents to $33.3, and everyone was calm about it.

Director Huang changed his mind and walked to Zhu Enbo, who looked relaxed and said kindly: "Xiao Zhu, Dahua has lost a lot over there, right?"

Zhu Enbo obviously got free and turned around and looked at it. Seeing that he was the boss, he immediately calculated and whispered: "It's not time to lose money yet. Their previous short orders were bought at more than $35, and now they still make more than $1. However, they bought a total of 3 1 million barrels today, with an average price of $32.6, a floating loss of $0.7, and a decrease of $700,000."

"It's only 700,000 US dollars." Director Huang was a little disappointed, and naturally said this and immediately shut up. Dahua's trader is less than five meters away from him.

Zhu Enbo actually wanted to laugh. He quietly held back and whispered: "The key point is not the 3 million barrels I bought later, but the 200 million orders they bought before. When the oil price rises to $36, Dahua will be in big trouble. At least $12 million will be compensated. 18 million will be compensated."

Director Huang was startled and said, "Fortunately, we chose the right direction, and 12 million will be in trouble."

Juinport approved an additional 5 million yuan. The total funds were $25 million, and it was quite difficult to support the $200 million network. If you lose 12 million, you will fall into a terrible situation.

Director Huang shook his head and threw away this idea. He asked again: "Can you reach 35 today?"

Zhu Enbo pursed his lips and said, "It seems that he is a little bit short. He is rising very slowly. I guess everyone is waiting for the war."

"Oh, then I'll come later tomorrow."

Zhu Enbo was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Director Huang said with regret: "Xiao Zhu, you political mind! You will be in charge of the center in the future. Well... Look at Dahua Industrial, a private enterprise sitting with us, and Director Mao's attitude. If Dahua suffers serious losses, come to me to borrow money and ask the National Reserve Bureau for help. What should I do? Tomorrow, you can do it well, and I won't come if I have nothing to do."

Zhu Enbo thought of Su Zhenguo's attitude and nodded unconsciously.

Director Huang raised his head with satisfaction and heard Su Cheng, who was not far away, ask: "Give me time in Washington."

"Washington time, 13:10 in London, 21:10 in Beijing." Dahua employees answered very quickly, and they were operating computers at the same time. There were news agencies such as Xinhua News Agency, AP, Reuters, and TASS. In the past, they were the world's largest news source. TV stations and newspapers from various countries would reprint the news agency's reports regardless of whether they were stationed on their own or not.

In 1991, except for military and commercial intelligence agencies, news agencies were the fastest and most accurate sources of information.

There are a lot of news from news agencies in various countries, with hundreds or thousands of messages per minute. Although they have been sorted with importance, they still need to be distinguished.

Dahua Strategic Business Department is not yet able to dispatch intelligence personnel around the world like the Japanese consortium. All they can do is to keep a close eye on the news agencies of various countries. Therefore, the trained employees are very proficient and are not confused in the face of chaotic foreign language information.

The National Storage Material Adjustment Center for the public institution template is not good. Although they have also learned from foreign institutions to set up correspondents, they really use them as correspondents and only do some work on sending letters. Although they can understand English, how can they analyze the information as much as mountains and seas?

Therefore, the National Storage Material Regulation Center mainly refers to the report from Xinhua News Agency. Director Huang is embarrassed to work together.

If it weren't for the rise in oil prices, he would really feel ashamed when facing the smooth Dahua team.

"Buy short, 1 million barrels." Su Cheng's words interrupted Director Huang's thoughts.

"Buy it!" Yue Zhengyu's tone was clear, not a gloating.

While smiling, Su Cheng also reminded him: "You have made some money now. I suggest you put your money in the pocket. If you want to make a profit, you can wait for tomorrow."

He never expected that the oil price could rise to $33.3. He didn't know the specific historical details, but what is certain is that this was already an extremely high price. If it were Sucheng himself, he wouldn't dare to buy more than $32. God knows whether the limit of the oil price is 32.1 or 33.3.

Before Yue Zhengyu could speak, the tall man jumped out first and said loudly: "Do you want us to follow you to lose money? I mentioned the limit before. Now it has increased by 70 cents. Why haven't it reached yet? If I listen to you, I will lose now... how much did I lose?"

"100,000 US dollars." Another man's voice was hoarse. He also held a calculator in his hand. He was just calculating the profits.

"100,000 US dollars! It can be exchanged for 600,000 RMB at least. 150,000 per person, you are playing tricks. Brother Yue, don't listen to him." The tall man was afraid of losing the opportunity to make money. He jumped high and loudly.

Su Cheng argued without any intention and said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, forget it. However, it's not too much to earn $100,000."

"We brothers are impatient." Yue Zhengyu felt something, expressed his apology, and asked, "Dr. Su, are there any negative news now?"

"Not yet." Su Cheng shook his head and added another sentence, saying: "The United States is very prepared for this war, which has been delayed for nearly half a year. He traveled around the world to do diplomacy and would not tolerate the third oil crisis. Therefore, there will be a large market situation before the war. You operate with full positions and there is a risk of liquidation."

A liquidation means that the price fluctuates more than the leverage.

For Yue Zhengyu and the others, when the price drops by 10%, or 8%, the bank will ask for additional margin. Once the additional position cannot be closed, it will be considered that the position will be liquidated and the 500,000 US dollars will be lost.

The tall man was unhappy when he heard this and wanted to jump out and say something, but was stopped by Yue Zhengyu.

Professor Dai, who closed his eyes and rested, opened his eyes and asked loudly: "What kind of preparation does Director Su think the United States will make?"

Su Cheng pondered: "Put oil into the market, stabilize the mood of oil companies, and try to protect allies in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia. Then issue a notice of peace and security to prepare for the war."

"Didn't the International Energy Organization put crude oil on the 11th? I remember what they said was that once a war broke out, 2.5 million barrels of crude oil would be put out every day, right? The market reacted very coldly, which was a decline of about 2 US dollars, and there was no effect." Professor Dai knew this information very well.

Su Cheng reluctantly said: "International organizations are international organizations, and the United States is the United States, which means different things. Moreover, there are huge differences in the release of crude oil and the preparation for release of crude oil."

Professor Dai thoughtfully said, "So, do you think you will release oil today? And it's not a promise, but a direct release?"

"The last two days," Sucheng nodded, and said, "The Americans decided to enter the city for war, so they will put crude oil on when they are ready to fight."

Zhu Enbo completely disbelief and immediately retorted: "Ten or millions of barrels of oil every day are useless. War is war. No matter how good diplomacy is, it depends on the situation on the battlefield. By the end of the war, we will have already closed our positions. The current situation is that once the war breaks out, the situation will be difficult to control. If we fight for eight years like the Iran-Iraq War, the oil price will have to soar to more than $40, and it is not uncommon for $50. I estimate that it is likely that the United States will take action, the Soviet Union negotiates, and then return it to Kuwait."

At this time, the Iraqi army had just experienced the baptism of the Iran-Iraq War. As far as the world's eyes are concerned, Iraq's soldiers are of good quality and commanders have a certain technical and tactical level. Iraq is one of the largest arms importers in the world. It has countless American and Soviet-style equipment bought, and the top equipment of various countries can be found in Iraq. It ranges from air defense missiles to tanks, and local operations seem to be much more powerful than Vietnam.

The quagmire like the Vietnam War is not only the Chinese think so, but Americans also have the same concerns and worries.

Although many people have heard of the concept of "asymmetric" combat in the United States, this kind of thing is the same as the "information expressway". It's fine to listen to it, but a few people really care about its implementation.

Professor Dai carried a book with him with some small notes in it. He found one of them and looked at it and said, "Dr. Su, you have bought a short order of nearly 300 million US dollars. If you lose money, it will be very serious."

"If it rises by more than 40 US dollars, I will stop the loss." Su Cheng smiled and thanked. The State Council Policy Research Center is a pure third party. The National Reserve Bureau made a loss and Dahua Industrial made a loss, which has nothing to do with them. Professor Dai's persuasion was also kind-hearted.

Seeing that Su Cheng was really not nervous, Yue Zhengyu couldn't help but raise his thumbs up and said, "Brother, I'm so brave. The $30 million is abandoned like water! Hey!"

Su Chenggong bowed and smiled and said, "Try to do it."

"If you don't do anything, you will give up. A man can take it and can't let it go. What does it look like?" A shout came from the door, but it was Su Dongyuan.

Beside him were his wife Wang Lizhen and son Su Xing. Wang Lizhen was full of resentment and Su Xing's eyes were muddy. In front of Su Dongyuan was Su Zhenguo and his party. Director Mao fled out at some point and accompanied Su Zhenguo on the right side, among the Su family members.

Director Huang recognized Su Dongyuan and Su Zhenguo, and quickly asked to give up his seat. His heart was pounding, thinking: What is the relationship between Su City?

Su Zhenguo smiled and waved his hand, "You guys are busy with you, I'm here to see the situation and give me some comfort to the comrades of the National Reserve Bureau."

As he said that, he shook hands with the staff in the room one by one.

Sucheng felt a little strange. Oil prices are indeed important. It shows the situation in the Middle East, or the situation in the Middle East that everyone is most concerned about is oil prices. If there is no such black oil, who cares about the adobe houses in the desert?

However, Su Zhenguo saw it personally, it was still a bit inexplicable.

Only a few people present understood that Su Zhenguo was visiting Sucheng. The character of a person is undoubtedly revealed among the ups and downs of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. Anyone who earns 100 million dollars or loses 100 million dollars will show his true thoughts no matter what.

After Su Xing was abolished, Su Zhenguo's expectations for Su Cheng increased day by day.

Regardless of whether Su Cheng accepts it or not, Su Zhenguo himself must be prepared first.

In addition, Su Dongyuan, Duan Yuanguang, Cao Jiyuan and other Soviet generals also sat around, and were so excited that they were preparing to watch a big show.

Zhu Enbo and other cadres from the State Reserve Bureau went to do things, and Yue Zhengyu and others shrank their necks and hid in the corner that was not easy to detect.

Only Professor Dai greeted him openly. The Policy Research Center is a ministerial-level unit, and he often sees great leaders.

Su Zhenguo smiled and said, "Where are you talking about it, let's listen."
