Please subscribe, please vote!

On the 27th, after Hurricane Katrina entered the Gulf of Mexico, it turned south and was getting farther and farther away from the mainland of the United States, and it had no intention of returning to the mainland of the United States.

At this time, some offshore oil fields near the Mexican side were not affected by Hurricane Katrina and were still operating normally.

At this time, many Wall Street elites have begun to celebrate. In their view, they have won another bet this time, and it is time to go to the market to shear sheep.

The short side of the market began to exert force. As soon as the market opened in the morning, a huge number of short orders were eliminated. The price of oil futures, which was originally priced at around 65 US dollars, turned sharply and went straight to 64 US dollars.

At this time, Brian and other traders all turned green in the face. The long orders they started a few days ago were placed when the market price was $68, and the price was only higher than $68. Some

It even opened to a high of seventy dollars.

You must know that since the Iraq war came to an end in February this year, the price of world oil futures has dropped from a high of more than 70 US dollars, and has no intention of reaching 70 US dollars.

If the boss hadn't gone crazy, they wouldn't have issued such crazy long orders. Now, the market situation has taken a turn for the worse. The price of oil futures has been suppressed to around US$64, and looking at today's momentum, it may be US$64.

There is no guarantee at this price.

It seems that in a few days, everyone will really have to go out to look for jobs again. The original ambitions when joining this company may all be in vain by now.

The current market price is around US$64, and the orders they place out are all high-priced orders of more than US$68, or even more than US$70. If this hole is not filled, the position will be forcibly liquidated, and the position will be worth one billion US dollars.

What a single thing, it just turned into a beautiful big bubble. They really didn’t know what their boss was thinking.

Is this guy really crazy with too much money and just likes to throw money into the water and listen to the noise?

But according to the current market situation, even if he wants to hear the sound, he can't hear it!

Jin Xiaoqiang, who was sitting in the office on the second floor, still looked like a mountain was falling in front of him. He remained unmoved and did not issue any instructions.

Yesterday, he asked Brian and the others to clear out a lot of empty orders. Fortunately, Brian and the others were smart enough and did not use up all the 400 million quota, leaving about 200 million.

Now he has about 500 million available funds in his hand. If these 500 million are not enough to fill the hole today, then he may really have no choice but to cry.

In fact, Jin Xiaoqiang only remembered that this year's Hurricane Katrina would cause huge losses to the United States. He only remembered that this hurricane formed on August 23, landed in the United States on August 25, and would cause huge economic damage to the United States.

The losses caused huge damage to the oil market and financial markets, completely destroyed Orleans, and severely damaged offshore oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.

But he really didn't remember the exact date when it landed in New Orleans and severely damaged the offshore oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

After all, he was not a professional financial person in his previous life, so he did not remember those data very clearly.

This is why he did not dare to take action in the world oil futures market a long time ago. He only dared to wait until Hurricane Katrina was about to form and before it landed in the United States.

But he didn't expect that after landing in the United States, this hurricane would turn around and return to the ocean from land. This was something he never expected.

This has led to today's passive situation. Now he only has 500 million in funds, and he doesn't know if he can survive today. If he can't survive, then he will really lose his pants.

.

However, he firmly believes that this hurricane will come back again, and God will not really keep the United States forever.

So after seeing the market clearly this morning, he immediately called Nick and borrowed one billion from General Motors using all of Huayang Power's profits and dividends in the United States this year and next year.

US dollars as reserve funds.

Nick Reilly and the others also took the opportunity to make a lot of unreasonable demands. Of course, the premise is that Jin Xiaoqiang cannot pay back the money in September.

These guys are really good at taking advantage of fire, but Jin Xiaoqiang is not worried at all, because he knows his own abilities and also knows the abilities of Katrina.

Finally, after paying a price of one billion US dollars to protect his position, today's battle finally ended.

However, Brian and the others are still not optimistic about Jin Xiaoqiang's plan. Now, in their opinion, their boss is definitely a complete fool. This guy is still going strong at this time.

Although they don't know where this guy found a sum of funds, everyone is convinced that if the situation does not improve tomorrow, their boss will definitely die in an ugly way.

And this Thunderbird Venture Capital Company will definitely become one of the shortest-lived financial investment companies in American history. In less than a month after its establishment, it lost 3 billion in funds and then closed down.

Some people have even decided that they will never write about their experience working at Thunderbird on their resumes in the future. After all, this company is so embarrassing.

Their boss may be a genius when it comes to designing cars, but when it comes to financial investment, he is an out-and-out fool.

Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't know what they are thinking, nor does he care what they are thinking. What he is thinking about now is when will this hurricane really sweep across the southeastern coast of the United States...

On the morning of the 29th, Hurricane Katrina still had not dissipated, and was quickly approaching the Gulf of Mexico and the coast of Mexico. When the news came out in the morning, the oil futures market was no longer as empty as yesterday.

Everyone knows what this result means. In the Gulf of Mexico, near Mexico, there are countless drilling platforms of American oil companies.

Once Katrina attacks somewhere, then... then... then all the empty orders that everyone has sent out for many days are just seeking death!

Immediately, the short side, who was still full of energy on the short side, was crying and wailing everywhere. Everyone began to prepare to turn their guns and go long in the market. Moreover, there were still long orders in the market before. Give me some

Scan as much as you want.

But this morning, the atmosphere in the office area on the first floor of Thunderbird Company seemed a bit strange. The traders seemed a bit silent. The situation suddenly took a big turn. Although it had not started yet, the market was no longer what it was yesterday.

Crazy, even a little weird.

Although the reversal has not started yet, many people have already smelled that something is wrong.

At noon, reports were sent back from the front line that Hurricane Katrina had hit offshore drilling platforms on the U.S. side of the Gulf of Mexico. Mobil, Degus, Gulf Oil and other U.S. oil companies had drilling platforms in this area.

Suffered some losses...

After the market opened in the afternoon, the atmosphere in the oil futures market suddenly changed. Investment banks and investment institutions, large and small, were all red-eyed, working hard, and charging upward.

I can scan as many long orders as there are in the market. Everyone has put a lot of short orders out before. If we can't recover the losses on these long orders, then everyone will just cry.

.

In just a few minutes, the price of oil futures, which was still below sixty-four dollars, shot up like a rocket, as if it had taken an aphrodisiac.

The market fluctuations that often fluctuated by tens of cents a few days ago are no longer seen. Now it is just like when the US-Iraq war just started. The price of oil futures is like drinking Red Bull, with full stamina.

When the employees of Thunderbird Company saw this situation, they acted like they had taken aphrodisiacs and drank Red Bull, screaming loudly in the operation room below.

It's developed, it's really developed this time, this boss is really wise and powerful, he really dares to block, and he has the guts. No wonder people say that people who can succeed are paranoid, it turns out it makes sense!

Little did Jin Xiaoqiang know that in such a short few minutes, he had already possessed the divine light and was given so many mysterious auras by the employees below.

Brian and the others burst into Jin Xiaoqiang's office with faces full of ecstasy.

"Boss, what should we do next? Don't we still have 500 million US dollars in hand? Should we continue to go long?"

The situation has become clear. Although it has not been reported yet, how many oil drilling platforms have been attacked in the Gulf of Mexico. But even if only one is attacked, this is enough to cause panic in the oil futures market. Now is the time to pursue the victory.

when.

"Idiot, haven't we done this enough? Hurry up and short-sell the three major stock indexes for me, quickly!"

Jin Xiaoqiang laughed and yelled at Brian. Although this guy was very unstable before, he was still quite decent. Moreover, he could give him a few words of advice at critical moments, so he was considered a trustworthy employee.

"Ouch! Yes, boss!" |

Brian slapped his forehead, as if he remembered something, and then turned around and left Jin Xiaoqiang's office. At this time, he had absolute trust in Jin Xiaoqiang.

He dared to bet on billions of dollars, and even won the bet. If a boss like this doesn't believe it, then who else should he believe it?

However, the boss's brain is quick enough, but is it a bit too early to short-sell the three major stock indexes so early? You must know that it is only the loss of a few drilling platforms, and the hurricane has not yet returned to land.

Well, is it a bit too hasty to short-sell the three major stock indexes like this?

After all, those drilling platforms cannot have such a big impact on the U.S. economic index?

Forget it, he is the boss, whatever he says will be done, it will be done!
