Wall Street Legend

Chapter 149 Collapse (44)

Even if the sky falls now, little Edward doesn't want to pay attention and shouts: "I'm busy, we'll talk about it later!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and turned it off, feeling a mountain of flesh pressing down on him again.

Although Ye Dongqing had warned him, this guy didn't take it seriously. The fluctuation of a few percent was relatively large in normal time periods, but it was nothing recently.

The short-seller forces have suffered heavy losses recently, including institutions that have compensated more than one billion US dollars. This is only the loss of institutions, and the losses of some major countries are serious. After the oil price climbed to 35 US dollars, they began to short-sell frantically in an attempt to make up for the losses. After coming back, the reality is that the losses are getting bigger and bigger, but this force is relatively strong, and Ye Dongqing is a small player with average strength among them.

Considering the global crude oil trading volume, a market of this size can only be played between countries. The rise in oil prices has caused heavy losses to oil-poor countries. It is strange that they would be happy.

Recently, the price of oil has risen so much that there have been news that many oil tankers are staying at sea and are unwilling to enter the port to declare customs. They hope that the price of oil will continue to rise, trying to sell more money. Many individuals and companies have really succeeded, as if Enter a carnival feast.

Oil is too important. The world's main source of transportation power is completed through it. Countries with too much oil to use up can become developed countries just by selling oil. There are also additional transportation, tariffs, processing, sales, etc. Factors affect prices, which are ultimately passed on to large-scale consumers.

Due to the increase in oil prices, the recent turmoil in the international financial market and the global securities exchange market has directly led to the decision of taxi operators in New York to increase the starting price. This has not yet been implemented, but there are already signs.

In the eyes of little Edward, Ye Dongqing is not that important, otherwise he would not unilaterally tear up the contract and scatter the previous promises like farts.

He felt that Ye Dongqing was simply lucky and entered the right market at the right time. As mentioned before, he himself also successfully made money through crude oil futures, earning more than Ye Dongqing. There was no need to pay attention to anything. In his heart It has already swelled to the point of looking like a fat man weighing 270 pounds...

He slipped out of bed quietly all afternoon, and it was only when little Edward decided to attend another friend's birthday party that he remembered to pay attention to his own business.

I turned on the phone and called my assistant back. The other person was almost crying: "Clark has been asking me to find you and let you make up your mind. Now the price of crude oil futures in New York is still 32 US dollars a barrel. I don't know why. You suddenly fell like this, and your bodyguards don’t know where you are, what should you do now?”

"Thirty-two dollars? Are you sure it's thirty-two dollars?! I remember there was thirty-seven dollars in the morning, damn it!"

Little Edward screamed like a slaughtering pig, and almost 300 million US dollars slipped away like this. How could he remain calm?

"No one knows what happened. Countless orders poured into the market, and the price dropped by four dollars and thirty cents in more than an hour. It keeps falling! The resignation letter is on your desk. I'm really looking for you everywhere. No need. You said, I will resign myself..."

*********

Different from the lost little Edward.

Ye Dongqing was sitting alone in a restaurant on Fifth Avenue and ordered a bottle of the best champagne as a celebration.

The profit so far has reached hundreds of millions, and the price of crude oil futures is still falling. Electronic trading has continued until 10:30 in the evening. If nothing unexpected happens, more profits can be made in the future. The term "crash" is a perfect description.

For him, who is short, there is nothing better than this.

The ecstasy is suppressed in my heart, but no one can share it. This is a huge regret. After calculating the time, Laura should go to bed. Zhao Liuli is young. As for the others, they either already know about it or have a normal relationship with him. , deeply aggrieved by this.

At early seven o'clock, the restaurant was full of people. The old waiter helped him pour half a full bottle of champagne and asked eloquently: "Is this something worth celebrating? If it's your birthday, I'll do it for you later." Give me a cake."

It was a very considerate move. He thought today was Ye Dongqing's birthday, and he remembered that he only reserved one seat.

Ye Dongqing smiled and shook his head, first took out a Franklin and handed it to him as a tip, then raised his glass and said loudly to the strangers: "Everyone! The price of crude oil collapsed today. As a celebration, I will buy all the tickets! Of course, don’t keep ordering expensive wine! Here’s to Franklin!”

The crowd around him was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and there were applause and cheers from everywhere!

Who said money can't buy happiness? The depression in his heart was swept away. He successfully shared his happiness and felt much better at a small price.

The restaurant is relatively high-end, and the customers are all middle-class and high-income people. Combining the words "crude oil" and "Franklin" together, it is easy to guess the truth. Someone shouted and asked: "So how much do you earn?" How much was it? I ordered foie gras and caviar, and they were pretty pricey!”

There was another round of laughter.

After taking a sip of wine, Ye Dongqing smiled so hard that his teeth showed: "Not many, just this number!"

"Ten million dollars? One hundred million?"

If you earn a million dollars, few people would be stupid enough to waste it like this, so some people subconsciously thought it might be ten million dollars.

Showing off is a technical job, he nodded and said: "More than 100 million US dollars, the Federal Tax Office is going to make a lot of money again. You can eat more and help me deduct taxes, but don't waste it, okay?"

Who would refuse such a sudden good thing? The shouts of congratulations and thanks came one after another, and there was no such thing as the quiet and elegant atmosphere just now.

The restaurant was alerted, and a manager immediately came over to join in the fun with a bottle of the best Latour wine on the market, preparing to give it to Ye Dongqing for free. Compared with making friends with a billionaire, this bottle of wine was nothing. Even if the boss finds out, he will only praise the manager's shrewd mind. When the news gets out, the restaurant will become more famous, and fame often means profit.

The old waiter with gray hair looked shocked. After working for so many years, he had seen people spending money in shopping malls, but this was the first time he had to pay for all the customers. Looking at the hundred dollar bills in his hand, he didn't feel disappointed. Congratulations to Ye Dongqing with a smile.

The number of dishes is pre-booked in advance, and the freshest ingredients are purchased according to the order every day, so Ye Dongqing does not spend too much money. As he told others, rather than leaving it to the IRS, it is better to have fun buying it yourself.

Young people, it doesn't matter if they are more public. Ye Dongqing sat down and ate the delicious food, with a smile on her face.

He was thinking in his heart that he hoped the oil price would not rebound, otherwise he would definitely be laughed at for a long time for what he had just done...
