Chapter 504 No one can escape

(The previous chapter is under review and will be released tomorrow)

If he hadn't said this nonsense, Prince Charbi would have cursed anyone else - "Are you a fool?"

As the world's largest oil producer, you actually let the largest crude oil exporter short crude oil?!

What kind of international joke are you kidding?

However, because this was nonsense, Prince Charbi on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said:

"Hu...short crude oil?!"

"With all due respect, you are very aware of the current situation. Due to the confrontation between your country and North America, the price of crude oil has now exceeded $100."

"If you really have a conflict with North America in 30 hours, the price of crude oil will most likely continue to soar to $140,150..."

“At this time, it doesn’t seem like a good time to short crude oil?”

Prince Salbi had already said it very tactfully, but Hu Lai had no intention of explaining.

Before taking action, he made this call to Prince Charbi, partly because of the "love" between the two parties in the past.

I have to say that Phoenix Group and Big Dog have really enjoyed their cooperation over the years.

Big dogs are famous for giving money easily. The important thing is that Hu Lai knows very well that without the financial support of big dogs, the Phoenix Group would not have developed so fast, and the "manned moon landing" project would not have been so smooth as it is now.

results.

It is the utmost kindness to give a warning to the big dog owners when closing the net, and it is best to prevent them from being accidentally injured in this war!

Whether they believe it or not is their own question.

On the other hand.

As the world's largest crude oil exporter, major investors have a large number of crude oil options and futures contracts in their hands.

If we can get the support of the big dogs, or even let the big dogs act according to the Phoenix Group's plan, it will very likely directly penetrate the entire crude oil market, making those North American capitalists who are trying to speculate in crude oil unable to react at all!

but.

Although there are many benefits, at this most critical moment, it is naturally impossible for Hu Lai to tell Prince Charbi about his biggest trump card - "Phoenix Group has achieved controllable nuclear fusion technology"!

That's right.

The Phoenix Group’s biggest trump card is “controllable nuclear fusion”!

When the "controllable nuclear fusion" technology was successfully realized in the laboratory, Hu Lai already knew that the energy crisis that had plagued the world for hundreds of years had been completely solved. From now on, there would be no more energy in the world.

crisis!

The first to bear the brunt will be the existing energy sources - all energy production such as crude oil, coal, wind power and even photovoltaics will be greatly impacted!

Crude oil and coal will be completely reduced to chemical materials, and their importance in human society will be greatly reduced!

It is conceivable what kind of shock the entire global energy market will experience once Phoenix Group reveals that it has achieved "controllable nuclear fusion technology"!

It is conceivable what kind of price disaster it will face once the market realizes that crude oil has been replaced by cheaper and more environmentally friendly nuclear energy and will become a common chemical material!

The current price of $100 seems unattainable, but in the blink of an eye it will fall to hell or even negative oil prices!

And now, Hu Lai wants to take advantage of this news that shocked all mankind - to harvest the whole world!

His scythe is ready!

"Prince Salbi, if there are more, you don't have to ask."

"But I would like to kindly remind you that I am calling you because of our many years of friendship."

"You have cooperated with our Phoenix Group for so many years. You should also know very well that we will never target without aim. As for whether you believe it or not, that is up to you."

Prince Salbi frowned.

As a prince, he cannot be an idiot. Hu Lai's words made him feel that the underlying message was unusual.

The Phoenix Group has indeed been as Hu Lai said in recent years, as long as they say it, there is nothing they can't accomplish.

After a while, although he still had huge doubts in his heart, his tone became much calmer:

"Dear Hu, this matter has such a huge impact that it is no longer something I can decide on my own. I need to report this matter to my father personally..."

"But don't worry, I will give you a reply in two hours at the latest; whether Father finally accepts or rejects, I will reply to you, how about it."

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai's tone on the other end of the phone became much more relaxed.

"Prince Salbi, as I said just now, I only made this call to you out of years of friendship."

"As for your choice... there is no need to reply to me. No matter what your outcome is, it will not affect our actions."

"Okay, that's it, hang up."

"beep……"

A moment later, when he heard a beeping blind tone on the phone, Prince Charbi did not dare to neglect any more and rushed to the palace.

A few minutes later, Prince Salbi met his father.

"Father, it seems we have to make a choice between Yan Kingdom and North America..."

…

After hundreds of years of development of the global financial market, the entire financial market has become very complete.

For global crude oil trading, no... It should be said that for the trading of many global commodities (coal, iron, apples, cotton and a series of industrial agricultural products are called commodities), the main trading methods are futures trading and options trading.

It sounds lofty, but in fact the main purpose is to quickly respond to the true value of goods and provide hedging functions for buyers and sellers.

What is hedging?

To put it simply, for example, if a company thinks that the price of crude oil is very cheap when it is 40 US dollars, it can hedge through the futures market. Next, if the crude oil rises to 80 US dollars a barrel, the company still only needs to pay 40 US dollars.

You can buy crude oil worth US$80 per barrel with a knife; of course, if crude oil falls to US$20 per barrel, companies will still need to spend US$40 to buy it.

And the value of quick response products...

In fact, it is the greatest magic of the entire capital market - the game between short selling and long selling.

This is also the main battlefield for many international super financial giants to make huge profits by using the huge fluctuations in futures prices in the "price discovery" process.

This time crude oil has risen from more than 40 US dollars to over 100 US dollars, which is the best process of making profits and a feast for many parties!

At this point, we have to briefly introduce the rules of futures.

In the futures market, for example, the minimum trading quantity of each lot of crude oil is 100 barrels. According to the futures price we often say, for example, 50 US dollars per barrel, then the minimum transaction amount for one lot is 5,000 US dollars.

but.

In fact, to trade in the futures market, you only need a 10% margin, which is $500 to complete one transaction.

If you increase the leverage by ten times, you only need $50 to complete a transaction worth $5,000.

So... the futures market fascinates everyone. Think about it, once you buy a long position for 50 US dollars, when crude oil rises to 60 US dollars, your contract has become 6,000 US dollars, and you have actually

Earned $1,000.

With a principal of 50 US dollars, you can earn 1,000 US dollars. This is the power of leverage!

If the principal is US$5 billion, what about US$50 billion?

Therefore, under this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the North American Morgan Consortium, Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street capital have already gone all out, and all capital is reveling in this feast!

Wall Street, the doomsday carnival is still going on, no one knows that the darkest time is coming!

By then, none of them will be able to escape!
