"Why haven't the war broke out yet?"

The most tormenting thing these days is Song Yanjin.

In the end, he did not dare to gamble according to his own ideas. On January 15, he threw all the futures in his hand and followed Qi Zhengshan and others to short international oil futures.

The one who asked him to make such a decision was that Xie Kai asked Qi Zhengshan and others to throw all his money into it!

Xie Kai is so crazy, he definitely has his own reasons.

The key war has not broken out until now, and there is no possibility of oil reducing prices.

So, Song Yanjin was very worried.

Once Xie Kai makes a mistake this time, he cannot bear the consequences and can only apologize for death.

Only when the war breaks out can the result be seen quickly.

At that time, give up if it is time to give up.

Not only Song Yanjin, but also Qi Zhengshan and Ximu Lite, who have the same thoughts.

The two started on the 15th, and one of them was in the office, waiting for news from Iraq and the US government.

Until now, there is no news on both sides.

"Old Qi, do you think there is really a chance to short this time? I think we will be unemployed..."

Simlet looked worried.

If the boss fails to invest, he will go bankrupt completely.

They will lose their jobs.

"No, I believe in Boss, so there will be more opportunities. As long as we succeed this time, how much will we earn?" Qi Zhengshan also had no bottom line.

Don't believe Xie Kai?

All investment institutions around the world are investing wildly, and oil prices have seriously affected the global economy.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that once the war really lasts, the global economy will be seriously affected.

Such a result is simply untolerated by the United States and Western countries.

“But now…”

Since the start of short selling, Simlet has no sense of security at all.

When he invests, he always hopes to build on various data analysis.

This time, the data analysis results told them that there was no chance of winning at all.

In the end, Xie Kai asked them to invest nearly $6 billion in shorting international oil futures.

Once the international oil futures price does not fall, and leverage of 6 billion will still be used, there will be no remaining at all.

At Xie Kai's request, they used 5 times the leverage.

6 billion US dollars, leveraging US$30 billion of oil futures. Although lasting for nearly 40 days, the average daily delivery order is also US$750 million of oil futures. According to the current international oil price, the delivery order is about 25 million barrels per day...

If it doesn't fall, all this money will be done.

"Anyway, it's all the boss's money. Besides, don't our own money continue to be bullish..." Qi Zhengshan obviously didn't want to discuss this issue.

The key is that the Americans did not launch a war against Iraq at the first time.

Eastern Time.

January 16, 1991, 10:30 am.

US President Bush once again made a public speech to the whole world.

"...I am very regretful that the Iraqi government rejected the United Nations' resolution 660, which requested the unconditional withdrawal of troops and restored Kuwait's national sovereignty... As a world superpower and one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, the United States must make its own contribution to maintaining world peace and ensuring the stable development of the world economy... According to UN resolution 678, I authorize all American combatants in Saudi Arabia to immediately use force to expel Iraqi troops in Kuwait in accordance with the requirements of the United Nations, and help Kuwait restore national sovereignty..."

After the speech, the president signed a combat order against the Iraqi army in front of a global audience.

The United States declares war on Iraq.

The whole world finally waited for this moment.

The most rapid response was global oil prices.

After Bush announced a war against Iraq, the international oil price, which had already reached $35 per barrel, rose to $37 in a short period of time.

"It's over, it's over..."

When Song Yanjin saw the prices in the international oil futures market, he collapsed.

Sitting in the office weakly.

When the international oil price was $34, he sold all of it and began to short international oil futures.

Sell ​​it for $34 and wait for the oil to fall to $28 before repaying it...

But now the price will be $28 in a short time?

It's simply impossible.

"It's over, the boss has lost all his assets now..." Simlet murmured at the crazy growing international oil prices.

Qi Zhengshan did not have such concerns as him. "Simlet, we have to sell the oil futures in our hands quickly. The price has risen too far. Besides, the boss's own money is lost, and we still make a lot of money..."

Unwilling to follow Xie Kai before, Qi Zhengshan and Simlet bet all their funds on the oil price increase.

The two have few assets, plus 30 times leverage, and only have US$1.5 billion in oil futures.

However, when they started, the international oil futures price was only around US$25.

This is already 50% profit.

"throw!"

Simlet didn't hesitate.

But when they put up an order and sold it, they realized that there were too many orders thrown out.

The orders in their hands were not as good as those that Xie Kai had thrown before. If they threw them out, someone would eat them...

"Is the boss right?"

But they didn't believe it at all. It was too difficult for a day to fall from now to $28.

After a large number of sell orders surged, the two dollars that the US president had risen in a short period of time after the US president signed the combat order quickly fell.

Even, it fell to a price of $33 at one point.

The army of both sides confronting the international oil futures market is not paying attention to the situation in the Middle East.

"Everyone is ready, the US President has signed a combat order..."

The Iraqi government spread the news to the front line as soon as it was received.

In the entire Kuwait and southern Iraq, in order to cope with the coalition's attack, Iraq divided into three lines of defense to deploy an army of 540,000.

Except for the elite troops left behind Baghdad, other elite Iraqi troops were transferred to the front line.

"Is it finally here?"

Qasim sighed.

I have always hoped that the war will not break out.

But the US presidents have signed combat orders against Iraqi troops.

War is never avoided.

Their army had not rested last night and was waiting for the coalition to attack.

But until now, the coalition forces have not made any movement.

"Are they going to play fatigue tactics? They didn't launch an attack right away?" Even Enagid felt that there was something wrong with this.

Opposite the Kuwait border, the coalition forces had been deployed in Saudi Arabia, and there was no movement at all.

“Be alert!”

Qasim also knew that it would not be a good thing to continue like this.

The danger is when bombs are dropped.

At that time, in order to ensure the accuracy of the bomb landing point and avoid entering the two cities of Baghdad and Fallujah to repeatedly bomb these important targets, one blow must be hit.

"Prepare, let's go to 9:30 pm..."
Chapter completed!
