Chapter 284 The war begins

Su Cheng had no time to deal with Director Huang. At the same time, Mr. Zhou received the call, oil prices had already risen significantly.

The war did not start immediately, but Bush's order to start the war must have been issued. At this time, he was calling about allies of various countries, as well as the Soviet Union and other countries. Gorbachev received a call one hour before the war. China has cut off high-level exchanges with the United States since 1989 and has not yet resumed. The meeting between the Foreign Minister and the Secretary of State was a coincidence in the airport waiting room... Mr. Zhou received a call from a second-hand dealer.

Oil giants also have their own sources of information, not necessarily the president, but they can be presidential staff, cabinet members or some important senator. They invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in parties, parliamentarians and presidents every year. It would be too unreasonable if there is no real return.

Now, it is a good time for oil giants to make profits. When ordinary businessmen have not yet received accurate information, they are the only ones who have been guaranteed to enter the market with all their might.

Oil will soon be difficult to buy.

When Dahua's long orders accumulated to 40 million barrels of oil, the oil price had already rebounded significantly, and all the unexpended short orders were cancelled. Even if there was no news of the war's beginning, everyone knew that the situation was abnormal.

Mr. Zhou put down the phone and said to Su Cheng in surprise: "The American plane took off and you hit you again. Are you guessing it?"

Su Cheng smiled in a relaxed tone: "I am more courageous. The troops of many countries will start to launch attacks in the past few days, but if it is three or five days in the evening, the pressure will be much greater."

Director Huang said, "Last time I bought short, Director Su took on the loss for two days. Not to mention anything else, the interest alone was hundreds of thousands. Finally, the United States invested strategic reserves of oil into the market, which immediately shocked the longs. Dahua's profit was at least 200 million US dollars!"

Those who didn't know took a breath. Two young girls interns from the State Council looked at Su Cheng with stars. When the average monthly salary was less than 1,000 yuan, the halo of 200 million US dollars was so dazzling.

Director Huang is very happy that he has laid the groundwork. In this way, if the losses of the National Reserve are exposed, they can also resist it with a crime of non-war. Of course, those who are not concerned about this matter will not know the role played by the National Reserve Center.

Su Cheng didn't care about Director Huang's "self-salvation". Whether he survived or died, he had nothing to do with Dahua, and he was really too busy to be busy.

On the one hand, Mr. Zhou was enthusiastically asking about the process of buying short a few days ago. Professor Dai interrupted and commented on the situation in the Middle East.

On the one hand, the futures exchanges are constantly requiring confirmation. For transactions of millions of dollars, Sucheng requires authorization, and some futures trading that exceeds the current price also requires confirmation of Sucheng.

In desperation, Su Cheng had to speak. He stared at the screen with one eye and entered the authorization over and over again. He complained: Boss Zhou, have you really done nothing else? The Gulf War is about to start, Saddam is about to be beaten, so don’t you pay attention to it in the secret conference room?

Mr. Zhou could not hear his thoughts, but expressed his rejection with his actions.

In fact, Mr. Zhou, Su Zhenguo, Duan Yuanguang and others had no intention of leaving. They each chose a comfortable position, looked at the screen, spoke, drank tea, and chatted...

Mr. Zhou said to Su Cheng with great understanding: "Don't worry, do your own thing first, we old men are idle..."

Su Cheng was crying but not crying, and most of his energy was still on him. Fortunately, the oil price kept rising and there was not much to think about.

This situation lasted for more than half an hour, and the red phone in the room rang again, and then a staff member turned on the TV.

"It's started." After Mr. Zhou put down the phone, the TV station quickly released the clips that had been prepared long ago.

This is the first large-scale drill since the United States proposed asymmetric combat. The large number of aircraft clusters, long bombing and precisely guided bombing rhythms, and the jaw-dropping performance is just the beginning.

A piece of information was sent in continuously from the outside. Only by looking at the scale and form, the fat expert's face changed and he said to himself: "It's a bit unexpected!"

Su Cheng sighed inwardly and thought to himself that ground war is the time for accidents. Not to mention China, even Iraq and the Americans were surprised by the power of asymmetric combat.

"Iraq's heavy equipment is over." Old Zhou got a message and looked at Su Cheng deeply.

The fat expert murmured: "Iraq is too careless, the quality of soldiers is too poor, and the camouflage is not done well. However, the US air strike will not last too long. You can tell by looking at their targeted attacks. If they rely on intelligence, resources will always be limited. In addition, Iraq's counterattack has not yet begun. If they launch missiles to Saudi Arabia or the UAE, it may have an effect..."

Su Cheng turned his face away unbearable.

Duan Yuanguang saw it and smiled and said, "Su Cheng, do you also know about military affairs?"

Su Cheng smiled and said: "The time and effect of the US military's air strikes determine whether the price of oil rises or falls. If the effect is not good, the oil price will rise very high and last for a long time. If Iraq has a counterattack and the counterattack is effective, the oil price will rise even higher. On the contrary, if the air strikes are effective, or Iraq's counterattack is weak, the oil price will fall back soon... I have to think clearly about the direction of futures."

"Oh, which one do you prefer?"

Su Cheng glanced at the fat expert, smiled, and said, "The oil price will fall to a certain level, and the speed may be very fast."

From what he said just now, this is completely opposed to the opinions of fat experts.

The fat expert said angrily: "Your judgment is going to suffer a big loss... Modern weapons and equipment are only one aspect, human factors are very important. Without people, no matter how good the weapon is, it is just a piece of steel..."

Zhang Chao is also a young man. He was worried that this fat expert would affect Su Cheng, so he couldn't help but interrupt and said, "You said it nicely. Will the judgment we made decide whether to make money or lose money? Do you have the kind of thing you want to put in at 10,000 yuan and try it?"

Su Cheng blocked him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, go do things."

Zhang Chao glanced at the fat expert and went back to supervise.

The fat expert coughed heavily, and when he was about to make a speech to refute, the Dahua trader disturbed his thinking with a shocking roar: "London $32!"

The oil price just hovered from $26 to $28. It seemed like it suddenly had adrenaline, and it climbed to $32. Because it was too fast, the increase of $4 even showed a breakpoint on the screen curve.

Quotes on the market are so fast that they can't keep up with the real price.

Traders in the City of London look at the screen and send messages to traders around the world via phone. There is always a few seconds between them. If they don’t show up normally, in this period of drastic change, artificial hysteresis will be shown. Everyone can only keep buying more and buying more...

A few minutes later, the oil price rose to $38. Traders at the National Reserve Center made huge cheers as if they were releasing, regardless of the occasion they were on.

Director Huang was overjoyed and ran to hug Zhu Enbo. In the past day, the pressure they have been under is really huge. The $60 million margin really makes people lose their hair when they think about it.

Mr. Zhou tilted his body and placed one arm on the arm of the chair. He asked with a smile: "Will you make money like this?"

"Yes, we built a position at an average of $26.5 to $38.5. We made a profit of $12 per barrel." The profit of 40 million barrels was $480 million. Sioux City has no famous saying about this.

Mr. Zhou continued to ask: "Is the National Reserve Center also profitable?"

Director Huang was not in front of him, and Director Mao replied on his behalf: "The National Reserve Center remembers that it bought too much, so it made a profit."

"It's not at $26, right? I think they're a little too late."

"No. I don't know how much." Director Mao did not dare to take responsibility, so he hurriedly called Director Huang back and asked him: "How much did you buy more money?"

Director Huang hesitantly replied: "Start at $36."

"So, if the war did not begin, the National Reserve Center actually lost $10?" Mr. Zhou's thinking was very clear and he directly grasped the key point.

Director Huang was speechless and speechless. Director Mao was also extremely embarrassed.

Mr. Zhou waved his hand and asked them to go down. The oil price continued to grow wildly. Although it was a little slower than before, it was much faster than normal. It took only half an hour to reach 40 US dollars.

This time, since Dahua Industrial and National Storage Center both bought more, the atmosphere in the conference hall was much harmonious. Everyone was very happy.

Su Cheng quietly ordered Zhang Chao: "Prepare to buy it for free."

Zhang Chao said in surprise: "So fast?"

"Iraq has no power to resist, and it is exposed." Su Cheng sat in the hall, and it is actually difficult to get first-hand information. However, the words that Mr. Zhou exposed and the reports from the TV station were enough for him to pretend.

$42 is the highest price in Sioux City’s memory, but it is difficult to determine how long the peak of $42 can last. Maybe it’s just a moment, maybe there are only a few transactions?

Therefore, the peak price cannot be used as the basis for trading. Moreover, from $26 to $40, I have earned $14 per barrel, totaling $640 million. Short selling is another big revenue, so I don’t have to worry about the gains and losses of one or two dollars.

The correct judgment in recent days gave Zhang Chao a strong psychological hint. He did not ask any more questions, returned to the corner of Dahua and began to organize traders to sell orders.

Dahua did not cover up, and their actions immediately attracted the attention of the National Reserve Center.

Zhu Enbo suddenly fell into a dilemma.

As far as rationally goes, he should advance and retreat with Sucheng, because Sucheng's judgment has been correct for a long time. But emotionally speaking, he felt that it was too early. The war has only started for an hour. Can a war end in one hour?

In Zhu Enbo's view, oil prices are likely to rise by another $5, and it is not too late to sell at $45. The most important thing is that although selling orders now can make money from the National Reserve, it can only make millions. It is not certain whether you can offset the merits and demerits at that time.

On the contrary, if you persist for a few more hours, or a day, let the oil price rise to $45 and sell it, the National Reserve Center can make tens of millions of dollars, which has a completely different meaning...

Su Cheng waited for more than ten minutes, but when he saw that the National Prime Minister was still not moving, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

He came directly to Director Mao and said, "Director Mao, oil prices will soon enter the decline channel. Please order the National Reserve Center to sell orders."

Director Mao was the director of the National Reserve Center. After Su Cheng said this, Director Huang and Zhu Enbo were both anxious.
