Chapter 955 Turning Point
Oil and gas resources in the Gulf of Mexico mainly appear in three places.
Coasts of Texas and Louisiana, and the Bay of Campeche, Mexico.
The Bay of Campeche and Texas are so remote that nine out of ten hurricanes cannot hit them.
The most likely one is Louisiana.
But no one knows whether it is.
Even the best computer in the world cannot calculate the trajectory of a hurricane 100% clearly.
"Whether this hurricane makes landfall in Louisiana or not, this is an opportunity for us." Xu Liang said slowly.
Lin Junrui’s eyes were filled with fire.
Of course he understood what Xu Liang meant.
Facing the Category 5 hurricane that is about to land, Quantum Fund’s next investment will become extremely difficult.
If they choose to continue short selling, if a hurricane lands in Louisiana or Texas, the skyrocketing stock price will definitely quickly penetrate their defense line.
If they don't follow, then Xu Liang's long funds, as well as the long funds from all over the world betting that the hurricane will land in Louisiana, will also break through their defense line.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Lin, the oil price in the global futures market has increased by 17 basis points."
The employees in the trading floor loudly said with joy on their faces.
Xu Liang was shocked and looked firm.
"The opportunity has come. Lao Lin, immediately summon Hongyan and Hanhua and throw all the cash in our books at me."
"Yes!"
< br>Lin Junrui responded excitedly.
After working hard for more than half a month, we finally saw the dawn of victory.
"Great, we are going to win."
Lu Hui'an couldn't bear the excitement in her heart, and didn't care about the people around her. She hugged Xu Liang fiercely, screaming and jumping.
Holding her delicate body, Xu Liang also had a smile on his face.
——
Quantum Fund Trading Room.
Just a few hours ago, it was a busy place. With large sums of money coming in, everyone was filled with the desire to win.
But when a new Category 5 hurricane formed in the Gulf of Mexico and was approaching the US coast.
It was like a bolt from the blue, shaking everyone to their core.
The news of the hurricane is still being broadcast on TV, as well as live reports from frontline reporters from the Gulf of Mexico.
Looking at the tornado hurricane in the sky and the violent waves in the distance.
Everyone's hearts became heavy.
Plop...
A somewhat fat old man with gray hair suddenly fell to the ground.
"Kress fainted?"
Everyone rushed forward, and under Alexander's command, they carried him to the infirmary in a hurry.
After everyone was settled, he returned to Old Soros.
"Father, it's not a big problem, it's just that I haven't had a good rest for a long time. Just take a nap and it'll be fine."
Old Soros nodded slowly.
Looked at him and said, "Father, everyone is waiting for you to make up your mind now..."
Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table next to him rang.
The name on the caller ID was James Gorman.
He didn't pick it up, and Old Soros didn't move either.
Since a new Category 5 hurricane appeared in the Gulf of Mexico, all institutions and individuals investing in the Dragon Slaying Plan are calling here.
They have only one purpose.
Cut the flesh and leave.
No one is stupid.
Especially the top dignitaries are well-informed.
As soon as this Category 5 hurricane appeared, they knew that the dragon-slaying plan had no chance of success.
"Alexander, light a cigarette for me."
"But your body..."
"It's okay." Old Soros waved his hand.
Seeing his persistence, Alexander lit a cigarette and handed it over.
A trembling hand reached out to take it, took it in his mouth, and took a few sips.
Ahem...
Alexander quickly went to pat his back.
After regaining his breath, Old Soros had an abnormal blush on his face, and his eyes became blurred, as if he was lost in memories.
“In the past few decades, I have achieved countless successes. The most proud one was shorting the British pound in 1992 and shorting Asian countries in 1997. It was so wonderful to watch the central banks of various countries slowly collapse under my attack, and the wealth accumulated over the years was taken away from me.
At that moment, I seemed to be transformed into God.
< br>With a wave of your hand, you can control the fate of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people
This power and glory is simply intoxicating. "
Old Soros's expression suddenly turned hateful.
"Just when I was most proud, most successful, and at the peak of my life, the damn Chinese gave me a fatal blow. hit.
Hong Kong, damn Hong Kong.
Everyone has surrendered, why haven’t they surrendered yet? ! ”
Old Soros clung to the wheelchair with a ferocious look on his face.
“Here, I encountered the most disastrous failure in my life. Although I didn’t lose much money, most of the reputation accumulated by the Quantum Fund was consumed.
Since then, I have embarked on a journey of success. It went downhill.
From that day on, I completely hated the Chinese people.
And I swore in front of God that I would take revenge if I had the chance.
I want to watch those damn yellow-skinned monkeys kneel in front of me and repent. They must repent! "
Old Soros turned his head suddenly and grabbed Alexander's arm with his skinny right hand.
His bloodshot eyes stared at his son.
"Alexander, you are my most satisfying son. You must continue to be short and defeat Golden Caesar completely..."
Poof!
Before he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
At this moment, Old Soros seemed to have lost all his strength and his body fell softly.
"Father, father. Doctor, send my father to the hospital quickly."
The doctors and nurses who had been following him quickly pushed the wheelchair and ran outside.
But Alexander did not follow.
Looking at the retreating figure, Alexander's eyes became firm after hesitating for a moment.
"Father, I really want to support you, but the Soros family cannot be buried because of your resentment."
——
"Mr. Xu, global oil prices have exceeded 61 Dollars." Lin Junrui shouted excitedly.
Xu Liang was smiling, and now he had completely let go of all his worries.
No matter how hard Soros Sr. struggles, he will definitely win.
Because the Category 5 hurricane just now was called ‘Katrina’.
Although it has been a long time, he still vaguely remembers the name.
Anything he can remember must have had a huge impact.
Obviously, Catalina caused huge damage after landing, causing heavy losses to the United States.
So it is certain that oil prices will rise.
“Everyone, keep working hard. When this operation is over, everyone will get a bonus of more than 500,000 yuan.” Xu Lianghong said.
"Long live the boss!"
"BOOS, I love you!"...
Everyone saw the hope of victory, coupled with the huge prize, the people in the trading room The atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter.
Ding-ding-ding...
The phone rings.
After Xu Liang took a look, he walked out of the bustling trading room.
He no longer needs to stare here.
After I came to the office on the second floor and sat down, I dialed back again.
"Bill, why did you call me?"
"From your tone, it seems that you already know." Old Gates smiled. "Know what?"
"Just an hour ago, George Soros vomited blood and was admitted to the emergency room of St. James Hospital. Alexander Soros was unanimously requested by other investors. Next, we have started to close the position.
Dear Xu, you are sure to win.”
Xu Liang was a little surprised, "No wonder the rise in oil prices suddenly accelerated just now. I feel that Quantum Fund has already left the market."
"Xu, you don't seem surprised at all?"
"It's not surprising, it's mainly a bit unexpected. When Hurricane Katrina appeared in the Gulf of Mexico, I had already won."
Old Gates thought for a moment and soon understood his mean.
Once Hurricane Katrina emerges, global hot money will definitely bet more on the long side.
Even if Katrina doesn't make landfall in Louisiana, the bulls won't have much to lose.
But once it lands, short sellers will be in misery.
This is an unequal game.
No one wants to be on the short side.
"Xu, congratulations."
"Bill, you are wrong. You are also a client of Pacific Fund, and you have a share of the profits made by Hanhua this time.
So, we are all happy."
Xu Liang smiled.
“Haha, yes, we are indeed happy together!”
Dingle bell…
The phone vibrated again.
The caller ID shows Jiang Xiaoyang.
"Bill, I'm still a little busy here. When it's over, I'll treat you to dinner."
"No problem, I'll just wait for your call?"
"Yeah."
After hanging up the call, connect it again.
Jiang Xiaoyang’s excited voice came over.
"Win?"
"Win!... The Quantum Fund has begun to leave the market. Hurricane Katrina is about to land. We are sure to win."
The person on the other end of the phone was breathing heavily.
Xu Liang seemed to see Jiang Xiaoyang's excited expression.
"Great! Xu Lang, I knew you could do it."
Although it was Xu Liang who directed the battle from the front, it was her who provided the logistics behind.
This showdown with Quantum Fund.
Not only did Hanhua put out more than 30 billion U.S. dollars in cash, Pacific Fund also put out nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars.
The former is Hanhua's wealth accumulated over the years.
Once you lose money, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.
If Pacific Fund loses this huge sum of money, it will certainly not lose its own capital.
But the reputation accumulated over the years was also over.
Almost no one will trust Hanhua anymore.
Without investment from all over the world, Hanhua will be completely knocked back to its original shape.
Just like the Quantum Fund that suffered heavy losses in Hong Kong.
It is impossible to recover without the accumulation of more than ten years, or even never recover.
It can be said that with this investment, not only Xu Liang invested most of his own net worth, but Jiang Xiaoyang also invested most of Hanhua's net worth.
When he first confronted Soros, the reason why Xu Liang did not invest in Hanhua Pacific Fund was.
The big reason is that I don't want it to suffer major losses.
As long as Hanhua's credibility remains, even if it fails this time, he will be able to double his earnings in the upcoming subprime mortgage crisis.
On the contrary, if Hanhua gets involved, it will suffer heavy losses.
This fundraising platform is no longer available.
Not enough capital investment.
Even if he could make money from the subprime mortgage crisis, it would definitely not be as much as he originally planned.
Unfortunately, the whirlpool of the dragon-slaying plan grew bigger and bigger, and more and more funds were invested, and in the end it was no longer up to him.
Fortunately, I am pretty lucky.
God took the initiative to help and gave the United States a ‘big gasp’ named Katrina.
After calming down a little.
"What are you going to do next?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked.
Xu Liang understood what she meant.
Although we have won, how to turn this victory into fruits that can be tasted and put into our own pockets is also a big problem.
“I plan to close my position as soon as Katrina makes landfall.”
“Is it too early? After the hurricane makes landfall, oil prices will definitely rise sharply.”
"Significant rise is certain. But the funds we have longed this time are as high as 150 billion U.S. dollars. Under ten times leverage, the funds leveraged are as high as 1.5 trillion.
If we wait for the oil price to rise before closing the position, almost There is not much room for us.
If we force the position to be closed, the guys in the Dragon Slaying Plan who have suffered heavy losses may use dirty tricks to deduct our funds directly in the name of disrupting the financial plan.
< br>So, when a hurricane lands and global bulls rush in, it is the best opportunity to close positions.”
What Xu Liang is thinking about now is not how much money he can make, but how to keep winning while making money. fruit.
Jiang Xiaoyang, who had completely calmed down, gradually understood his thoughts.
"I agree with your plan."
After a slight hesitation, Jiang Xiaoyang continued: "The overall situation of the dragon-slaying plan has been decided, how about you come back? Those guys who invested in the Quantum Fund The losses are heavy, if they take the risk..."
"I also want to go back, but it's not possible yet.
We made too much money this time, and we want to keep it safely. In hand, it’s not that easy.
So I have to stay here to meet some people and sort out any future troubles.
As for what you are worried about.
Haha, I am most afraid of death.
From today on, I will stay in the manor.
Unless he sends an army to attack, don't even think about touching me. "Xu Liang comforted.
After hearing what he said, Jiang Xiaoyang didn't persuade him any more.
She also knew that the fruits of victory this time were too great and it would not be easy to keep them.
"Then you have to be more careful."
"Don't worry."
After the two chatted some more privately, Xu Liang hung up the phone.
Phew...
Heaved a long sigh of relief.
After pondering for a moment, he turned his head.
"Lu Hui, when the income from this investment is settled, you should immediately contact Hanhua to help me make a statistical statement of the Pacific Fund's income, which should be detailed to each individual."
“Okay.”
When the old Soros promoted the dragon-slaying plan, these people were not optimistic about him and did not provide much help.
But when the ‘meat’ was placed in front of them, Xu Liang didn’t believe they could bear it.
At that time, whoever wants to take the meat away from their mouths will be their enemy.
This huge force will become an important weapon, even the most deadly weapon, against the investors of the 'Dragon Slaying Plan'.
When the time comes, he wants to see who jumps out first?
Soon Xu Liang's cell phone rang again.
He was destined to be busy on this day.
With the failure of Quantum Fund’s dragon-slaying plan, everyone knows that he made a lot of money.
Of course, countless people who had been watching came to establish relationships.
Although he doesn't need to pay attention to most of them.
But George W. Bush, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and Prince William of the British royal family, if they come over at this level, they will definitely not be able to refuse.
