When most people still hold a negative attitude about whether Iraq will invade Kuwait, at 6 a.m. on August 1, Kuwait time, the eight combat divisions assembled at the Iraqi border in Iraq quickly launched an attack in just one day. In the formation, the line communication that was originally in a silent state also began to intensively send encrypted information.
The U.S. who observed all this through military spy satellites realized that Saddam really seemed to be doing something.
But it was too late. The Pentagon had no time to send a special war warning to the Kuwaiti authorities. At 1 a.m. local time on August 2, Kuwait, with Saddam ’s order, Iraq ’s 100,000 troops crossed the tide The border between Iko and the territory of Kuwait, the news of the war spread across the ball in less than an hour and shocked the world.
The moment when the war broke out, it was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon of August 1, United States Eastern Time.
Before this day's close, well-informed investment institutions seized the opportunity and started to enter the market madly, paying a lot of money to the crude oil Petroleum market. The crude oil price rose by 07USD just two or two hours before the close , Closing at 216USD, up 3%.
However, for the speculators who invested huge amounts of money in the crude oil Petroleum market during this time, this is just the beginning. A big 3 door has been opened. Some people have stepped into heaven and some people have stepped into hell.
The war started, everyone in the Eric team was relieved. Although there were a lot of doubts in their hearts, for more than a month, everyone finally slept a good night, and there was a rumble in the corner of the Persian Gulf. , Sixty Soho Hotel Suites. Eric also slept extremely deep with arms around small girl.
New York at midnight. The Persian Gulf happened to be dawn. It took only eight hours for the Iraqi army to occupy the Kuwaiti border. Seventeen hours later, the battle was completely over. Saddam announced to the world that Kuwait was incorporated into Iraq and became the 19th province of Iraq. He took his family and fled to Saudi Arabia by helicopter.
New York, Thursday, August 2.
Get a good night ’s rest. Eric had breakfast with Drew, and met with Chris and the trading team at nine o'clock. At this time, everyone in the team looked at Eric with surprise and doubt, but Eric did not explain it to anyone.
A cafe on the 6th Avenue Street, Eric and Chris sit opposite each other, small girl with toad mirror next to him stirs the coffee in front of him, there is an hour before the opening of the crude oil Petroleum trading, everyone is doing it here a short rest.
"Papa took a plane back to the Maryland farm at ten o'clock. Emily had already sent him to the airport. He also said he didn't want to see you again, the little **** who had made him nervous for a month." Chris's mouth was light Said with a smile, but the doubts in his eyes did not hide.
Eric yelled haha: "Let ’s just talk about it."
Chris also does n’t seem to have any roots. Continue: "Well, what do you plan to do next?"
Eric shrugged: "I have done everything I can do, and the next step is the stage for you professionals."
Chris nodded. What Eric did was to put huge pressure on all the chips in a month to hit the crude oil Petroleum market. This was not an easy task. Chris could n’t understand it, Eric. Where did you get the hunch from the past? There was no sign of the war in Kuwait a month ago.
Now Iraq ’s invasion of Kuwait has become a reality. These two countries account for a quarter of the proven oil reserves. Once the two countries merge, Saddam has always advocated a policy of reducing crude oil production and raising prices. International crude oil The price spike is difficult.
"Then you should give me a rough plan, for example, when will we withdraw from this game?"
Eric looked at the traffic outside and pondered for a while before saying, "Three months, we will clear out and exit within three months."
Chris showed a look of interest, with his arms stretched closer to the table, and whispered: "Three months? Eric, can you tell me what do you foresee this time?"
Eric whispered solemnly: "I foresee the day after October, there will be a lot of ghosts and ghosts appearing in the streets of the Federation, they will take away countless sweets from thousands of households. "
Drew, who originally raised small ears and listened quietly, burst out laughing.
Chris also rolled his eyes.
Just a joke, Eric only spread his hands: "Chris, I'm not a magic stick, really. So don't ask me what I feel in advance, this time I can bet on the situation, and luck is a big part."
"Okay, I won't ask, I will leave in three months according to your arrangement," Chris finished, and began to concentrate on the snacks and coffee in front of him.
Eric also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He did n’t know how to explain this to Chris, and it seemed he could never explain it.
Because the electronic trading system began to be used in the Petroleum trading market in 1992, the current crude oil Petroleum trading is still dominated by manual operations.
At 10 am, after the New York Stock Exchange crude oil Petroleum opened, prices began to rise at a very steep curve.
Eric and small girl turned around in the popular trading floor, and they couldn't bear to retreat.
As he said in the cafe, he can do it in July, and now everything can be left to Chris and the trading team.
Go back to the hotel with Drew, just walked into the lobby, Eric was stopped by the receptionist: "Mr. Williams, please wait."
Eric looked over in doubt, and the waitress handed over a note paper filled with the phone number: "This is after you go out in the morning and call you in succession. They say that your mobile phone and room landline are both calling. Doesn't work? "
"Oh, I turned it off to prevent being disturbed," Eric explained, and took note paper to thank them and returned to the room with Drew.
"Eric, whose phone is it?" In the elevator, small girl glanced over his head and looked at the note paper in Eric's hand.
"Over Los Angeles. A group of old man." Eric said lightly.
Drew saw the names of people such as Rupert Murdoch, Michael Eisner, Steve Ross, etc. Then he glanced back at him.
Back to the room, Eric connected the phone line and dialed back along the phone number in his hand.
As soon as the end of the phone was connected, Eric immediately became famous and made a sorrowful look: "Mr. Murdoch, sorry, I was in a bad mood before, unplugged the phone line ... No, no, it ’s okay ... It ’s not easy to say ... "
A few minutes later, Eric had just hung up the phone and glimpsed the situation where small girl was rolling on the sofa holding a pillow and turning straight.
Eric reached out and gestured in front of his mouth, made a zipper movement, and the girl nodded immediately.
The trading team hired by Eric has previously signed a strict confidentiality contract, and they will also receive huge commissions from this transaction. As beneficiaries, these people will certainly not disclose the detailed process of this transaction, Jeffrey father and son Needless to say, otherwise. Until the detailed process of this transaction, only Drew was the only one. Although Eric knows that small girl will certainly not betray himself, but at this time he still explained it to the girl to accidentally say something missing.
With Drew's shrewdness, Eric believes that he is just an action, what should the girl just knows do.
After the explanation, Eric dialed and called back one by one. Although many people knew that Eric had made a heavy bet in the Petroleum market, but whether it was bullish or short, these people are unknown. After all, before again, because of the soaring crude oil prices in a few months, there were more speculators who chose to go short than they did, because even if Iraq deployed a large number of troops on the Iraqi border, most people still do not believe that the Middle East will explode. Unfortunately, Saddam ’s behavior this time exceeded the expectations of a large number of people.
It took some time to answer the call one by one, Eric went back to the sofa to turn on the TV, and selected the NBC news channel. At this time, the news of the Middle East was rolling live on the TV. Drew got tired and said with a grin: " Eric, I do n’t think I can hide it. "
"Just delay the news," Eric laughed: "Those are old foxes, it is impossible to hide them."
The girl made a grimace: "Then you just returned ..."
"What if they get too excited to get the news and commit a heart attack? It seems that I am actually a good person," Eric made a joke, actually
The girl grinned a few times and said, "I am also a good person."
After five and a half hours of trading, at 2:30 in the afternoon, the price of New York Stock Exchange crude oil Petroleum surged from 216USD at the opening to 235USD, an increase of 88%, and the surplus of Eric account reached 600 million USD.
At dinner, Chris notified Eric of this good news, but Eric saw a slight sadness on Chris's face. After asking, Chris revealed the truth: "I called after a close friend of Morgan Stanley Asked me about the situation on this side, I consulted him about the news some time ago, and he knew that I was frying oil Petroleum during this time. "
"Huh?" Eric asked in doubt, he knew that Chris just said a beginning.
Chris's tone is quiet and authentic: "There is a senior executive in Morgan Stanley who misappropriated Headquarters 100 million 20 million USD to short crude oil Petroleum, which is also ten times leverage. After closing in the afternoon, ... jumped off the building."
Eric also fell silent. Chris adjusted his emotions and said, "Eric, I don't know how you made your judgment this time. I can't believe you did it because you were absolutely sure. But In the future, do n’t play like this again. "
Eric nodded solemnly: "I promise."
Chris got up and patted Eric on the shoulder, was about to leave, Drew carrying a lot of shopping bags rushed in and yelled, "Eric, when I passed by Fifth Avenue, I saw someone jump off the building Well, it fell all over the place, so disgusting, I heard that there have been several jumps. "
After small girl blah blah finished speaking, he noticed that the two men in the room looked a little bit unsightly, and suddenly threw out their tongues, retracted their small necks and slipped into their room.
Chris shook his head and said, "I don't like this girl, she has a surly personality and is too cold."
Eric glanced at the door of Drew and said: "If Drew hadn't matched me with Jeffrey, there would be no me now and no Firefly."
Chris obviously also knew very well what was going on, shrugging: "Well, just when I didn't say it."
"Okay, Chris, she is just a child."
"Always grow up," Chris shook his head again: "If you are not 100% sure you can manage her, let it go as soon as possible."
"I know," Eric smiled and kept sending Chris to the elevator door before returning to the room.
small girl has now returned to the living room, sitting cross-legged on the sofa angrily: "I heard it all."
Eric stepped forward and squeezed on the girl ’s face: "Are you still wrong with Chris?"
"Hum," the girl twisted her head, trying to shake Eric's hand away.
"A colleague of Chris just jumped off the building in the afternoon. You were so happy, did you expect him to say something good to you?"
"But I just don't like him to say that to me. Eric, do you think I ... am I like that?"
Eric put the girl in her arms and hugged lovingly: "You are you, never mind what others say, you will always be my little girl."
"Well," small girl placed his chin on the shoulder of Eric emotionally: "Eric, I love you."
"I know."
"When did you start loving me?"
"This is a bit difficult," Eric squeezed on the girl's slender waist, jokingly: "Look, you are getting fat again, I don't like chubby girls."
"Where is it," the girl immediately hammered her back on Eric with dissatisfaction: "I have weights every week, and I am not fat at all."
Drew said, leaning back on the knees of Eric, leaning back slightly, lifting the hem of a small t-shirt to reveal a flat belly, and twisting visibly: "Nà, look."
"Well, little brunette," Eric ridiculed again. It has been a month since the girl's skin tone tanned on the Hawaii beach has been quite white, but the overall color is not as fair as before.
"Don't call me a little brunette," the girl said angrily with her head hitting the chest of Eric.
"Okay, get up, let ’s go to eat dinner, what do we want to eat at night?"
"Well, let me think about it ..."
......
Before going to bed at night, Eric has heard no less than ten news that the price of crude oil has jumped off the building because of the surge in crude oil prices today.
Although there is no expression on his face, he is still giggling with small girl, but Eric is still quite touched. The Petroleum market is a pair of gambling markets, and the contract department is bidirectional. Because today's crude oil prices have soared, Eric has received 600 million USD in one day, which means that some people have lost 600 million.
Of course, those who are desperate to gamble their money in and lose everything are not worthy of sympathy. To be continued. .
