That night, the latest news about Katrina came from the front. Hurricane Katrina was approaching off the coast of Louisiana and offshore drilling platforms near the coast of Mexico.

One-third of offshore drilling platforms have been destroyed by Katrina, and now the hurricane is heading towards Louisiana with a speed of more than 233 kilometers per hour...

After people in the company heard the news, they started to exclaim in small groups, mixed with a little joy. Everyone in the company had mixed emotions at this time, because they had won the bet.

It is already evening, and the stock market has been closed, but the stock market in the UK has just opened. The hurricane destroyed one third of the offshore drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Everyone knows what it means.

After such a night's work tonight, I'm afraid the price of crude oil futures in the UK will go crazy. After such a night of deliberation, as soon as the U.S. stock market opens tomorrow morning, I'm afraid the price of crude oil futures will go up.

It will just keep rolling up. How much it can rise depends on fate. In short, the company has made a lot of money this time, and everyone's red envelopes will definitely follow.

But everyone has mixed feelings because the hurricane is heading towards Louisiana at a rapid speed. By then, we don’t know how many Americans will die or have their families destroyed. After all, we are compatriots, and we can’t bear to see so many Americans.

The family was destroyed in one fell swoop...

It seems that God will no longer bless America this time...

At this time, Jin Xiaoqiang's heart was filled with joy and he was about to win...

No one chose to leave that night, but silently chose to work overtime. After all, tomorrow is likely to be the busiest day.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, through ABC and CNN news, Thunderbird employees all saw the reports sent back from the forefront on TV news.

Katrina finally officially arrived in the United States, landing in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Although it was already night, the scene was pitch black, mixed with thunderstorms and strong winds. There were giant trees blown up by the strong winds, ruins of houses, and people running in all directions...

The company fell into silence again. Although many people knew that they might have made money this time, they were really not happy.

Jin Xiaoqiang called Brian into the office and talked to him.

"Go out and boost morale and ask everyone to show professionalism. We are not hypocritical hypocrites, nor are we God. Don't worry, after this transaction, everyone will get a big red envelope. The amount will not be less than six figures."

number!"

Before Brian and the others came to Thunderbird, they were usually small roles doing errands in large companies such as Lehman or Goldman Sachs. Although most of them had experience in on-site trading, because everyone

He is not a decision-maker, so although he can receive dividends every year, they are only a small amount.

They usually only get such six-figure bonuses during the Chinese New Year or when the company's performance is very good. How can people like them, who have no chance to participate in any big actions, get such bonuses?

The current new boss can really be called generous in treating them like this.

Brian went out with the news about Jin Xiaoqiang. When he announced the boss's decision in the hall, the hall suddenly burst into cheers. A few days ago, the person who had planned to resign was now in the hall.

After hearing the amount of the bonus, I immediately became very motivated. After all, no one can struggle with money.

Furthermore, as long as you work on Wall Street, you must be mentally prepared. It is not that you have never seen or heard of this kind of disaster fortune before, but it was just that these large banks used to do it.

Investment institutions, for certain projects, united with some forces to build some airplanes in poor places like Africa. The people who died were also Africans, but this time it happened in the United States.

So everyone was still a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but now that the new boss's dividend limit has been announced, everyone immediately forgot about those damn natural disasters. After all, they used to work in those companies with glorious names.

When you are a big company, you cannot get such an amount of dividends even at the end of the year.

As for those who suffered in Hurricane Katrina, I'm sorry, who told you not to run away earlier, and half of the people in New Orleans are black, and the death of those people is no different from those who died in Africa.

.

On August 29, as soon as the New York Stock Exchange opened in the United States, the price of crude oil futures soared as if it had taken an aphrodisiac.

It used to be a few cents or more than ten cents moving up and down, but today you can't see it at all. The market is now in a situation where it's all green, it's going up, it's going up...

The people at Thunderbird Company were all smiling, as if they had already seen the big red envelope they were about to receive...

At this time, Alice, Huang Guotao, Brian, Barbara and other major company executives gathered in Jin Xiaoqiang's office, watching the TV wall opposite from the exchange.

data...

"%% US dollars. It's only two hours before the start. These guys are probably red-eyed now. As long as the long orders in our hands come to the market, there will definitely be countless people waiting to take over."

Brian was looking at the data on the TV wall with a smile on his face. Now he was feeling proud. His boss' prediction was really accurate.

"Haha, yes, if they can't get long orders to hedge the short orders they issued some time ago, I'm afraid they will only face bankruptcy."

Huang Guotao also said with a smile.

"Should the short orders we swept in the past two days also be executed? I'm afraid they have already exceeded the execution price by now, right?"

Jin Xiaoqiang asked with a smile.

"Yes, boss, I will let the bastards below ask for execution. Haha, I don't know how many people are going to go bankrupt now!"

Brian replied with a smile, and then went out to do things.

The other party places a short order because they believe that the price of oil will go down, but if the price of oil goes up and exceeds the execution price on the contract, then they will execute the contract.

Compensation will be made based on the difference between the price when the contract was opened and the current price.

After a while, Brian came back with a smile and said to the boss.

"Boss, we have already started executing the orders. I'm afraid we can earn back hundreds of millions from these short orders alone. I don't know how much those long orders will be worth now."

"Haha, don't worry, I won't be able to pay you back. It's almost sixty-nine dollars a barrel now!"

Barbara, the iceberg beauty, rarely interjected a word at this time. Jin Xiaoqiang even looked at her in surprise. This woman rarely spoke.

"Boss, what should we do next? If this continues, it seems that it is possible for the price to break through 70 dollars today? As long as it breaks through the 70 dollar mark, those long orders in our hands will be worth it.

It’s a lot of money, I’m afraid it’s possible to earn twice as much profit this time.”

Brian asked with a smile. Now he admired the boss in front of him to death. Yesterday he was a little doubtful of him, but now he has no doubts at all.

Now that the oil price has risen like this, and the hurricane has made landfall in Louisiana, although the extent of the damage is not yet known, it has become inevitable that the three major stock indexes will fall sharply tomorrow. The boss's order yesterday, no need to ask, will definitely

Make another profit on these three major futures.

"No need to ask, when the price exceeds 70 US dollars this afternoon, I will ship it immediately!"

Jin Xiaoqiang's answer surprised Brian, Huang Guotao, and even Barbara and Alice.

What are you doing? The price of oil futures has just begun to rise. Who knows how high it will grow in the future. If you go long now, no one will take it. But the long orders before are worth the old money, especially

They hold nearly one billion long orders in their hands.

Once the price of oil futures exceeds 70 US dollars a barrel, coupled with the fact that offshore platforms still do not know when they will be able to resume operations, and the hurricane also destroyed seven refineries in Louisiana, Alabama and other states, the oil production in the United States

It's hard to say when my ability will be restored.

Why won’t the price of oil futures skyrocket by then? If you don’t take advantage of this moment to make a fortune, the boss actually wants to sell off these long orders so early. Is it possible that he is really a lunatic?

Do you find money too hot to handle?

"What are you looking at? Do you think the government will sit idly by and ignore it? The government has already lost points in organizing the evacuation of people. Now the hurricane has landed in Louisiana and started to wreak havoc. It will also sweep through Alabama and Mississippi.

, this hurricane will definitely cause the death or disappearance of tens of thousands of people. If the government still allows the oil price to skyrocket at this time, how long do you think the Bush administration can stay in power?"

Jin Xiaoqiang looked at the stunned people and said with a smile.

When he said this, several people present immediately reacted. After all, everyone is not stupid, and they are all experienced financial professionals. They were really a little dizzy just now due to the strong rebound in the stock market.

Now when I hear Jin Xiaoqiang's explanation, I understand what Jin Xiaoqiang means. Yes, the government will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.

The boss is really wise and can keep a cool head at such a time. We are really inferior. No wonder he can build such a big company at such a young age!
