Resource Tycoon Reborn

The Sydney Olympic Games are in full swing. Athletes from all over the world are fighting for national honor and personal achievements on the field. At the same time, in the international oil market, the international crude oil price is also rising all the way, and is close to

The US$35 per barrel mark. The crude oil worth US$4 billion that Fang Mingyuan purchased in Russia last year has now nearly quadrupled in value. The profit can be said to be extremely considerable!

The continued rise in oil prices has made all oil-producing countries smile. Last year, the international crude oil price was less than ten US dollars, but it "trapped" them miserably, especially those non-Middle East countries, which had almost no profit. And

No one expected that in less than a year, international oil prices would actually go out of a big U-shape, not only regaining all the lost ground, but also setting a record high after the Gulf War.

However, the oil-producing countries are happy, and the oil-importing countries and consumers are naturally complaining. The rapid rise in oil prices has caused their energy expenditures to greatly exceed expectations. In recent times, news about the Middle East has

, most of them are OPEC meetings about increasing the share of oil production. The main leaders of the United States and European countries have repeatedly and publicly asked OPEC to increase production in order to stabilize the rapid rise in oil prices.

In a villa on the seaside of Sydney, Yu Dongfeng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking out at the sea outside the window, but his heart was full of expectations.

He came to see Fang Mingyuan. Ever since Yu Dongfeng made a lot of money following Fang Mingyuan's advice on oil futures in the first Gulf War, the Guo family and the Fang family had mostly invested in overseas stock markets and futures markets through him.

He came to carry out the project. Today, he is also a billionaire, but his admiration for Fang Mingyuan continues to grow.

Because no one knows better than him how much money Fang Mingyuan has made through the international stock market and international futures market in these years, and he believes that the funds he handles are only the Fang family, and the Guo family has the largest overseas funds.

Part of it, but even so, this is a huge amount of money that puts the annual GDP of many countries in the world to shame.

So, this time, as soon as Fang Mingyuan greeted him, he immediately rushed over from Hong Kong. But he was thinking in his heart, what business opportunity did Fang Mingyuan discover?

"Brother Yu!" Fang Mingyuan walked down from upstairs and said with a smile. In fact, in terms of age and seniority, he should be called Yu Dongfeng's uncle, but Yu Dongfeng refused to say anything. In the end, the two of them regarded themselves as brothers.

proportionate.

"Young Master Fang!" Yu Dongfeng quickly stood up and said with a smile, "I came a little early, I hope I didn't disturb you."

"What's the point of disturbing you? Whenever brother comes, I will welcome him with both hands." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Sit down, brother, we are all members of the same family, there are not so many restrictions."

Yu Dongfeng sat down, and the two chatted for a few words before slowly turning to the main topic.

"Brother Yu, I invite you to come to Sydney this time because I want to talk to you about the recent international crude oil market." Fang Mingyuan did not hesitate and said straightforwardly, "I hope that all the goods we have in the oil futures and spot markets will be

After throwing it out in the past few days, this shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

Yu Dongfeng was taken aback and said in surprise: "Throw them all out? This shouldn't be difficult. Now the international crude oil price is rising steadily. If the price is right for the little cargo we have, we can sell it within three days."

, I will definitely be able to polish them all. But, Mr. Fang, why are you in such a hurry?"

Fang Mingyuan chuckled lightly, took out a newspaper from his bag and put it in front of Yu Dongfeng, pointed with his hand and said: "Brother Yu, you should have noticed that the current fuel consumption in the United States, including heating oil,

Inventories are 21% lower than the same period last year. Among them, fuel inventories in the East Coast and New England are 44% and 68% lower than the same period last year respectively. Do you think the U.S. government will use

Strategic Petroleum Reserve to stabilize oil prices?”

Yu Dongfeng frowned and said: "Young Master Fang, I have paid attention to this news. But I remember that after the US government established the strategic petroleum reserve, it set strict conditions for the use of the strategic petroleum reserve. Unless the country is in a critical juncture, something happens

It can only be used when there is a war or when the oil supply is unexpectedly and suddenly interrupted. And the current situation does not seem to meet the conditions for use?" These days, the United States has been discussing whether strategic oil reserves should be used to stabilize oil prices.

There was a heated debate, and Yu Dongfeng did not think that the Americans would actually use the strategic oil reserves. It was precisely because of this consideration.

"Brother Yu, if the Americans take 30 million barrels of crude oil from the strategic oil reserve and put it on the market, what impact will it have on the international price of crude oil?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Yu Dongfeng's idea is also the idea of ​​many people,

I always think that Americans are just making false threats, but will not be serious about it.

Yu Dongfeng thought carefully for a moment, and then replied: "If the U.S. government really uses the strategic oil reserve, the international oil price should drop by three to five dollars, but I think the strong demand will soon make the oil price drop."

Lift it up again. But..."

Yu Dongfeng's eyes lit up. Although it was only a fluctuation of three to five dollars, it could not withstand the huge number of futures in their hands, and they could still make huge profits!

"Yes, let's make another price difference, and I plan to take out the profits and invest them in the soybean futures market." Fang Mingyuan said.

"Soybean futures market?" Yu Dongfeng raised his voice in surprise, "Young Master Fang, there is no trend in the soybean futures market at all recently?"

"The market situation is not in the near future, but in two to three years!" Fang Mingyuan said.

"Two to three years from now?" Yu Dongfeng could not suppress his surprise. Fang Mingyuan had actually considered the trend of soybean futures in two or three years, but why couldn't he see it at all?

"Well, this is another opportunity for us!" Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "The key now is that we have to sell all the oil futures and spot stocks we have in the near future!"

"Young Master Fang..." Yu Dongfeng scratched his head, hesitated and said, "On what basis did you base this judgment?" Although he believed in Fang Mingyuan's vision, he wanted to know what factors Fang Mingyuan based on it.

Such a judgment was made.

Fang Mingyuan took out another newspaper and put it in front of Yu Dongfeng's eyes and said: "In this newspaper, it was mentioned that Clinton's Vice President, Albert Gore, the Democratic presidential candidate who is currently running for President of the United States, believes that the government should use

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve was put on the market to stabilize oil prices and ensure that American citizens received enough oil for the winter. Nowadays, the poll scores of the presidential candidates of the two parties in the United States are very close. At this time, do you think Clinton, a member of the Democratic Party?

According to the law, the only person who has the right to use strategic oil reserves, will he help his old partner at this time?"

Yu Dongfeng only felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear. As Fang Mingyuan said, this year is an election year in the United States. It affects whether the next president is a Democrat or a Republican, and the candidate proposed by the Democratic Party is Clinton's old partner. No matter Whether it is based on personal relationships or party interests, supporting Albert Gore is a choice that Clinton does not have to think about.

Before the election, both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have many tricks on how to attract more voters' attention, win their favor, and ultimately obtain their votes. If we say that Clinton responded to Albert Gore's request, Putting strategic oil reserves on the market to calm the soaring oil prices will undoubtedly make Albert Gore favorable by a large part of the domestic voters who are complaining about the high oil prices!

As for whether this violates the conditions for the use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Clinton can always find a suitable reason. Moreover, he is about to leave office, and no one will keep pestering him over such a trivial matter.

It turns out that everything was caused by votes! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
