In the following days, Thunderbird Company performed very low-key in the market, and even made no moves at all.

After receiving the full amount of red envelopes, the company's employees were all satisfied and were waiting for the boss's next battle order. However, the boss has indeed ceased operations, which made everyone feel a little bit sad.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

Seeing that the boss had not given any instructions all morning, and the employees below were all surfing the Internet or bragging in the office area on the first floor, Brian felt a little anxious, so he walked in and asked Jin Xiaoqiang.

After all, time is money on Wall Street, and every minute and second wasted is irresponsible for money and for everyone’s year-end bonus.

"Haha, why are you so anxious? We are different from other companies. We are not going to grab the minced meat on the floor right now. I am setting an actionable target. Don't worry, I already have something in mind. You will have it soon.

The work is about to begin.”

Jin Xiaoqiang said to Brian with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. He took it out and looked at the number. Jin Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, and then motioned to Brian to go out first and he would answer a call.

Brian went out angrily. On this day, there was no movement from Jin Xiaoqiang except after answering a phone call. After another two days, there was no movement from Jin Xiaoqiang.

However, that morning, everyone saw the news on TV that the International Energy Organization had approved the United States' application to expand production capacity and open strategic reserves to the United States for thirty days.

As soon as the news was announced, the oil futures index on the market immediately began to fall, but the trend was not very obvious.

Brian was called into Jin Xiaoqiang's office not long after the news was released.

"|How's it going? Boss, have you made your choice?"

Brian asked Jin Xiaoqiang with excitement on his face, "He is now completely convinced by this boss."

"Well, go make a plan and go long natural gas."

"Gas? Boss, you are awesome!"

After hearing Jin Xiaoqiang's instructions, Brian frowned at first, but he immediately understood Jin Xiaoqiang's intention.

Natural gas is a by-product of petroleum. The government has tried its best to prevent people from speculating on petroleum, but they did not say that it will not exceed natural gas.

Moreover, natural gas does not have a huge impact on the country's economy like oil, so speculation on natural gas will not easily attract the country's attention, nor will it attract the attention of regulatory authorities.

Moreover, natural gas has always been a relatively unpopular commodity traded by the public, and generally does not experience large trading fluctuations. When trading fluctuations occur, it is usually when electricity prices rise, or when winter is approaching, which only occurs once a year.

There are two waves of market conditions, so there are not many experts in the field of natural gas.

But now Jin Xiaoqiang's intention is very clear. They will take advantage of the time before everyone can react and use natural gas. I am afraid that many people will not think of this move.

After all, compared with oil, natural gas, a commodity traded in bulk, is too unpopular, and it is not easy to store or transport. Generally, there are only a few people doing it, and the plates are not big.

But it is often this unpopular product that is the easiest to reap the biggest profits.

After Brian figured it out, he was about to walk out of Jin Xiaoqiang's office happily, but he was unexpectedly stopped by Jin Xiaoqiang, which made him feel a little strange.

You must know that your boss never likes to be sloppy, and he usually just points out the general direction and does not personally participate in transactions or interfere with the traders' operations. What's going on now?

"Brian, you have to pay more attention. The sale of natural gas is not like oil. It is not yet the season when the demand for natural gas is strong, and the price of natural gas is not high, so I chose to take action at this time. This time Carter

Hurricane Rina was very destructive. She destroyed one-third of the offshore drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and seven oil refineries along the coast. Now the government has announced that it will

Release oil reserves, but the country does not have strategic reserves of natural gas. However, because the demand is not strong at present, it has not yet appeared. But when winter comes, the price of natural gas will definitely rise rapidly, so this wave of market conditions

It will be a long time, so you have to be prepared. This transaction is the same as our previous oil transactions, so you have to be careful, and be more careful."

Jin Xiaoqiang stopped Brian and told him specifically that last time, even though he knew the general trend of oil prices, he almost lost money in a few days.

The buying and selling time of natural gas this time is longer, and the cycle may even be as long as three months. During such a long period of time, they are now starting to sell natural gas forward contracts, and the risks involved are still not small.

Even though the market size of natural gas is much smaller than the market size of oil futures, if he throws more than 40 billion in it, there will still be no sound.

He didn't want the white wolf he had worked so hard to lure to be broken into by Brian.

"Don't worry! Boss, we know what to do."

Brian smiled and told Jin Xiaoqiang that before coming to Thunderbird, he had participated in such long-term investment projects in other investment companies, so he was quite clear about the operation process.

And with a bright light like Jin Xiaoqiang guiding them, he really felt confident.

Brian walked out of Jin Xiaoqiang's office with confidence, and Jin Xiaoqiang also stood up. He had already made appointments with friends in the past two days, and now was the time to go and meet.

Of course Alice also went out with him. During this time, she had been helping Jin Xiaoqiang to run around in the United States. Although the salary Jin Xiaoqiang offered her was not low, she was now considered a millionaire.

But after she got money, she suddenly discovered that money was no longer important in her heart.

In her heart, what is more important is a person, a person she has been infatuated with unknowingly since very early on.

"Boss, I've been in the United States for three months, and I still haven't had a good tour of New York?"

Alice said coquettishly to Jin Xiaoqiang, Jin Xiaoqiang really couldn't stand her sultry charm, this charming woman was really too tempting.

Compared with Liu Mei, she has much less of the delicate temperament of an Eastern woman. Her general Western ancestry gives her a chiseled appearance, making her face look tougher.

The same half-Western ancestry has given her wide shoulders, a slim waist, long legs, and plump hips, innate hardware facilities that many Eastern women do not have.

And when her fragility, which is different from ordinary Eastern women, and bright and tough, which is completely different from Western women, are blended together, this woman has a unique temperament.

This was the part that made Jin Xiaoqiang feel the most obsessed. Now this woman was actually acting coquettishly towards him, and Jin Xiaoqiang suddenly felt a little weak in his legs.

But he soon woke up from the beauty's intoxication. At least in this world, he can be regarded as someone who has eaten several mouths secretly, and he has a certain degree of resistance. Although he dare not say that he can do this to beautiful women.

I am completely immune, but my immunity is still much higher than before.

"Haha, okay, since you haven't had a good tour of New York yet, I will take you to have a good tour today. Um... No, I have never been to New York before, and I don't know much about this place.

It’s familiar...”

Jin Xiaoqiang frowned and said to Alice.

"Ah? That's it! It doesn't matter, boss, I'm very familiar with this place, I'll take you around..."

When Alice heard that Jin Xiaoqiang actually agreed to take her out today, her eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly volunteered.

"What? Have you never visited New York before? How come you are so familiar with this place?"

Jin Xiaoqiang asked Alice deliberately with a wicked smile.

"Oh... you bad guy..."

Alice let out a squeak, waved her fist and hit her...

The city of New York is really too famous. It is not called the number one city in the world for nothing. It also has a history of more than 200 years. In addition, the United States has not experienced anything during the two wars.

Baptized by the flames of war, this city still has many beautiful scenic spots and some places of interest.

Because there were other appointments in the afternoon, Jin Xiaoqiang did not go too far under the guidance of Alice. It took him a whole morning to walk around Madison Square Garden and Fifth Avenue.

We had another lunch at a well-known Western restaurant near Central Park, which completed today’s trip to New York.

"Ouch! I'm so tired, so tired!"

After finishing the meal, Alice sat opposite Jin Xiaoqiang and kept rubbing her amazingly beautiful black stocking calves, while Jin Xiaoqiang could only sit opposite and swallow his saliva and curse.

‘Exhausted? You’ve walked so many places just now, but I haven’t seen you so noisy and tired...'

Jin Xiaoqiang looked at his watch and felt that the time was almost up, so he said to Alice.

"That's almost it. Let's go. I have a friend to meet."

Alice knew that Jin Xiaoqiang had something to do in the afternoon, so she didn't waste any time, stood up to pay, and then followed Jin Xiaoqiang out of the hotel. As soon as the two of them left the hotel, an extended Lincoln glided over from a distance and happened to be in front of the hotel.

The front was quite good, and it stopped in front of them.

The window of the luxury seat behind Linkou lowered, revealing the face of a handsome young man.

"Hello Kim, welcome to America."

"Haha, hello to you too, Derek, how are you doing lately?"
