Chapter 948: Showdown with the World
The next day, Lu Hui came in a hurry.
"Mr. Xu, we just received news that the White House Press Office convened all major media and said that there was an important announcement."
Although we had been prepared for a long time, when the matter really came, , I still can't help but feel chills in my heart.
Take a deep breath and try your best to eliminate distracting thoughts.
Now the whole company is watching him. If he loses his composure, let alone others.
Facing all the eyes looking at him, Xu Liang smiled calmly.
“I’ve known it for a long time, so don’t panic, just act according to the plan soon.”
Seeing him like this, everyone including Lu Hui breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Liang picked up the remote control on the table and turned on the TV and jumped to the CNN news channel.
Scenes soon emerged inside the White House.
Time passes minute by minute.
The waiting time comes to ten o'clock in the morning.
Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney, wearing a suit and leather tie, walked up to the rostrum in the center with his head held high.
This old man who once served as Secretary of Defense in the Bush administration and single-handedly planned the famous "Operation Desert", wears gold-rimmed glasses and has a heart-warming smile on his slightly chubby face. .
After a simple operation of the microphone, there was no problem.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the press conference at the White House.
Today we will announce the latest decision of Washington here."
Said, Open a file.
“In view of the fact that energy prices, especially oil prices, have been rising in recent times, resulting in rising prices of industrial products around the world, especially in the United States, and an increase in people’s living costs.
Washington has decided to release 50 million tons of U.S. strategic oil reserves into the market to stabilize oil prices.
At the same time, we will also actively negotiate with OPEC member states to expand oil production, increase supply, stabilize rising oil prices, and ensure global energy security. "...
Crash...
Warm applause resounded throughout the room.
Ellison looked excited, his hands were already red, but he seemed unaware .
Not just him, but everyone around him.
Since the dragon-slaying plan began, Xu Liang's resistance was stronger than they expected.
Whether it was a public opinion offensive or a money offensive, not only did they fail to gain the upper hand, but the other party even used their abundant capital to push the price of oil to US$58.7.
So, for more than a week, each of them felt deeply depressed.
Now that the suffocation has dissipated, I naturally become more and more excited.
"Awesome, we will definitely win!"
"Praise God, being able to join the Dragon Slaying Project is the wisest decision I have ever made in my life."
"Haha, really I want to see Jin Caesar’s expression now, it must be wonderful.”...
Everyone was gloating, as if they already had a chance to win.
Old Soros let out a sigh of relief.
During this period, as the initiator and leader of the dragon-slaying plan, he was under the greatest pressure.
Now that he is well, he can finally have a good rest and taste the sweetest fruits of victory.
But before that, some things must be done.
The thought fell and he turned his head.
Look at the smiling man next to you.
"William, thank you very much. Without you this time, it would be difficult for the Dragon Slaying Plan to achieve final success."
Bill Clinton, as the 42nd President of the United States, single-handedly promoted the disintegration of the Red Empire , sending the United States to the pinnacle of global power.
He then won the reputation of "the most outstanding strategist in the White House" in the United States since President Franklin Roosevelt.
His influence in American politics is unquestionable.
He played a major role in the passage of the proposal to use the national strategic oil reserve.
"The United States is the America of Americans, and the world should be dominated by white people.
People like Golden Caesar should not exist in a white world."
Clinton's unhurried tone There is unruliness and determination in it.
“Haha, William is right.
Just a dirty yellow-skinned monkey. Although he has some talent, his birth was original sin and he is not qualified to sit at the dinner table and talk to We noble gentlemen share the world together," Ellison said arrogantly.
For a moment, everyone spoke in agreement.
"Gentlemen, let us toast to success..."
Under the leadership of Paul Singer, everyone became more and more happy. As they drank and drank, they seemed to see the oil price falling into the dust, and they made a fortune. scene.
——
“Mr. Xu, a huge amount of short funds are pouring into the market.”
The voices of the heads of the major trading rooms on the display rang in my ears.
Xu Liang stood in the center of the trading room with his arms folded. On the surrounding monitors, the oil price index of futures markets around the world was displayed, as well as the information inside the offices of the three major trading centers of Hanhua, Hongyan and Vivendi. situation.
“10 billion U.S. dollars, ten times leverage, long positions, put it all down, and be sure to nail the price to 58 U.S. dollars.” Xu Liang said solemnly.
"Yes." Time passed by minute by minute.
The atmosphere in the room was oppressive and tense.
Lü Hui and Helen, Lin Junrui and others who were watching the battle had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
The pressure is too much.
"Mr. Xu, all the funds have been invested."
The voices of the heads of the major trading rooms came.
Xu Liang looked at the time and saw that 100 billion U.S. dollars of funds were burned out in forty-nine minutes.
The current oil futures market has nothing to do with oil.
It has completely turned into a strangulation ground for gambling around oil prices, swallowing up funds from all over the world at all times.
There are retail investors and institutions, and they form a huge short position.
Unprecedented pressure is weighing on the hearts of everyone in the trading room.
"10 billion US dollars, ten times leverage, long."
Xu Liang's voice was still cold and hard.
Tall and burly, he stood there steadily, like a majestic mountain.
Seeing him, Lu Hui, Helen, Lin Junrui, and the core personnel of the Xu Group who were sitting behind computers all over the world saw this scene, their panic gradually calmed down a lot.
After Xu Liang spent 30 billion U.S. dollars with ten times leverage and leveraged 300 billion U.S. dollars into the oil market, the increase in short positions finally slowed down.
24 hours down the line.
Of the US$65.47 billion in cash on hand, US$43 billion has been burned.
Lu Hui’s eyes were bloodshot after enduring a day.
"Mr. Xu, I called Mr. Humphrey from Standard Chartered. He said that within an hour at most, the US$9.5 billion equity mortgage loan of BYD, Moutai, New Dream and Fortescue Metal Group will be paid. Hong Yan’s account.
The Warriors and Marvel are still going through the process. He will try his best to push the funds into Hong Yan’s account the day after tomorrow.”
Xu Liang nodded.
"Go and take a rest. I haven't slept all day and I am exhausted."
"No, I can still hold on..."
Before he finished speaking, The whole person has been firmly held in his arms.
Feeling the familiar warmth and security, Lu Hui's tense mind relaxed.
Then there was a slight movement of the body, and the whole person was picked up.
There is a lounge next to the trading room. He put her on the bed, took off her shoes and covered her with a thin quilt.
"Have a good rest. You will have to accompany me in the rest of your life. Don't let your body collapse."
Looking at the still deep eyes, Lu Hui nodded lightly. Nod and slowly close your eyes.
Soon, the faint sound of snoring began.
Stressful and depressing environments are particularly draining.
She was indeed exhausted.
After Xu Liang tucked her in, he turned and walked out of the room.
“Mr. Xu.”
Lin Junrui came forward.
"You should go and take a rest."
"I squinted for a while and I feel better."
Xu Liang nodded and said no more.
Helen also had to go to work and take care of the children, so she was the first to leave.
“The fourth investment of US$10 billion took a full seven hours to burn, more than three times the previous investment. The fifth investment of US$10 billion burned at least US$3.7 billion in five hours.
It seems that the most dangerous time has passed. "Lin Junrui said.
Xu Liang nodded slightly, "Retail investors will naturally become hesitant when they see that they have invested a lot of money but have not seen the oil price drop.
Some small and medium-sized asset management institutions that are not well-informed will continue to be blocked for another round. Now they are our opponents.
As for the big financial institutions, they are well-informed and know better. They will not easily make big bets before they understand our reality. ”
Although he said this, he still had no idea in his heart.
If those big institutions are ready to give up, all the funds in his hands will soon be burned out.
At that point, it will be all over.
Took out his mobile phone from his belt and subconsciously wanted to make a call to the UK.
But I quickly put this idea down.
The power of the British royal family is too strong. Although I have the handle, I can only take advantage of it slowly and cannot threaten it. Otherwise, I will not only be inferior, but also offend others.
It will be difficult for Xu to develop in the UK in the future.
"Your Majesty, please don't let me down."
