Chapter 1519

McDill was afraid that the two would quarrel.

“Horner, the French offensive and defensive integrated system is too complicated to operate for the Iraqis. As long as the Black Hawks will knock out their command center and radar center before the war begins, Iraq’s air defense forces will become blind, fundamentally. Cannot pose a threat to the Air Force…”

Now the U.S. Command combat plan has been drawn up.

Just wait for more troops and weapons and equipment to be deployed to Saudi Arabia. Once completed, an attack on Iraq can be launched.

Since Iraq is not ready to withdraw, the US government cannot accept all kinds of unreasonable demands made by the Iraqi government.

The Iraqi army can only be driven out of Kuwait by force in accordance with United Nations resolutions.

Schwarzkopf asked MacDill: “How long will it take for the deployment to complete the combat plan?”

“It’s almost done. Just wait for the last moment…”

The last moment McDill said was the United Nations deadline for the withdrawal of Iraqi troops.

Day by day, there has been no substantial progress in the negotiations between the US government and the Iraqi government.



Iraq insists on the withdrawal of Western troops headed by the United States from the entire Arab territories, and requires the United States to agree to the initial partial solution as a condition for withdrawal.

The U.S. government naturally does not accept the request of the Iraqi government.

The two sides argued every day.

A steady stream of US troops and various heavy equipment were transported to Saudi Arabia, and troops from other countries also quickly arrived in Saudi Arabia and completed their deployment.

The Iraqi army is constantly deployed to the front lines.

During this period, in order to defend against attacks from the United States, Iraq reassembled more than 20 divisions and displayed a determination to fight to the end with the coalition forces led by the United States.

War is on the verge of breaking out.

Under the tensions in the Middle East, international oil prices have kept rising and have exceeded the $3 billion per barrel mark.

Countless experts believe that once the United States goes to war with Iraq, oil prices will continue to rise, breaking through the $40 mark.

Internationally, a large amount of capital has poured into the international oil futures market.

The huge influx of funds has further increased international crude oil prices.

Everyone is optimistic about the rise in oil.

In the context of rising oil prices, the economies of the United States and Western countries have become more difficult due to rising costs.

The investment team under Xie Kai completed the layout before the outbreak of the Kuwait War, holding a large number of futures.

Now looking at the oil futures market, which is gaining momentum, Qi Zhengshan and others are very upset.

The international oil price has risen by 50% from the very beginning to the present. Many of the orders in their hands have been thrown out after they have risen to $25, and they have made a lot of less money.

Even if the oil futures sold at around US$25, their starting price is only around US$17.

“There is a lot of money, or you can suggest to the boss that the futures in your hand can’t be thrown anymore. If you continue, you can only watch others make money…”

Qi Zhengshan persuaded the fatter and fatter to get a lot of money, and let him persuade Xie Kai to change his decision.

Qian Duoduo and Li Li are confidants of Xie Kai.

Qi Zhengshan knew that he persuaded, Xie Kai would definitely not agree.

Persuasion by the boss’s cronies may also change his decision.

International oil prices are rising rapidly, but Xie Kai asks them to continue to sell.

Obviously, I was at a loss for money.

Himmlet also looked at Qian Duoduo and Li Li with hope.

“The current international situation is tense. The U.S. military has completed its military deployment and Iraq has completed its military expansion. The war between the two sides is imminent. Once a war breaks out, international oil prices will rise sharply. The boss actually asked us to short the international oil market. , I don’t think it was a wise decision…”

Even Himmlet feels that Xie Kai, who has always been wise and wise, is now a complete mess.

The international oil futures market is gaining momentum, and Xie Kai actually asked for a short position!

Kuwait has been occupied by Iraq, and Iraq has been sanctioned by international sanctions. The oil produced cannot be shipped out at all.

When the war breaks out and continues, the gap in the international oil market will always exist.

It can only prompt the international oil price to continue to rise substantially.

Fatty Qian looked at them helplessly.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Two people, there is no way to persuade this matter. No one can change the decision Xie Kai made. I don’t have the professional and keen vision of yours. You can’t persuade him, and Li Li and I can’t persuade him…”

Fatty Qian didn’t want to see Xie Kai.

Especially now that the children are getting older and more and more like Xie Kai.

If Xie Kai sees the child, he and Li Li will no longer be able to keep the child.

Sun Juan also didn’t want Xie Kai to know who the father of this child was.

Li Li directly suggested that the two of them go to Xie Kai in person.

“Duo Duo is right. You are experts in the field of investment. When you speak with professional data, the boss will believe it more. Xie Kai always only looks at data and results…”

Li Li knows Xie Kai very well.

After all, she used to be Xie Kai’s head teacher.

She is also unwilling to go short, so there is definitely a lot of loss.

Qi Zhengshan and Himmlet couldn’t stand Xie Kai’s awkward decision.

Many people in international investment funds are laughing at them. Others are making a lot of money. They started to throw away the rising oil delivery orders a few months ago and made a lot less.

Although each order made a lot of profit, on average, all orders made at least 10% less profit.

How to make them not hurt?

Even the Soros team felt that Qi Zhengshan and Simlet had their heads caught in the door.

The oil futures in the hands of Soros and others still haven’t sold.

Seeing that Qian Duoduo and Li Li were reluctant to persuade Xie Kai, Qi Zhengshan and Himmlet had to go to the country to find Xie Kai in person.

Xie Kai looked at the two people who came to know their intentions.

“You must dump all the oil futures in your hand before January 14 to make less money. Even if the transaction price of 30 US dollars a barrel is sold, you have to sell all! In addition, starting from the January 17 delivery order, go short, starting from From US$27 to US$22, the old rules are still…”

Xie Kai didn’t ask the two of them what they thought, and directly asked them to throw away all the oil futures they held.

Himmlet was suddenly on fire.

“Boss, such an operation is absolutely wrong! International oil prices will definitely continue to rise, and the war between Iraq and the United States cannot be avoided…”

Qi Zhengshan was also anxious.

“Boss, do you think about this again, or is there any inside story?”

Xie Kai looked at these two people and knew what they thought.

International experts have been saying that international oil prices will rise to 40 US dollars per barrel or even higher.

The oil production of Iraq and Kuwait have both become gaps in the international oil market.

Oil prices have risen sharply because of the lack of oil supplies from the two countries.

“Boss, it’s not that we don’t believe your judgment. In November last year, the Iraqi army in Kuwait started an ignition experiment on Kuwait’s oil fields and was very satisfied with the results. Even if the U.S. army helped Kuwait restore the country, once Kuwait’s oil fields were destroyed It will take a long time to extinguish the oil field fire, including the reconstruction project…”

Himmlet is ready to convince Xie Kai with facts.

He didn’t believe that Xie Kai would not know the news.

As long as the war breaks out, the market supply will not be able to meet international oil demand for a long time, and oil prices will continue to rise.

“Do you think the United States and Western countries will accept this result? The continued rise in oil prices will make their already troubled economy even worse.”

Xie Kai didn’t intend to explain.

Now that it has entered January of 1991, he cannot be sure whether the Americans will not act on the Iraqis in advance.

Both sides have completed military deployment, and the United States is waiting for the deadline.

It is not a good thing to continue to increase oil prices. The United States and Western countries will definitely join forces to suppress international oil prices.

In order to ensure profits, there is no guarantee that the United States will do so by the deadline.

Therefore, Xie Kai can only ask to earn less.

Saudi Arabia and other countries are constantly increasing their oil production. Once the United States restores Kuwait’s sovereignty, Kuwait’s oil will soon be supplied to the market.

Qi Zhengshan feels that Xie Kai has justified what he said, but if the war continues for a long time, Kuwaiti oil will not be able to supply the market for a long time.

“Boss, if the war lasts for a long time, there will be serious problems in the international oil supply. If we short sell so much, I am afraid we will all lose money by then…”

“Do you think the war will last for a long time? The U.S. military has been deployed for such a long time. Whether it is weapon equipment performance, combat concept, and even combat effectiveness, it is far stronger than the Iraqi army. According to reliable sources, the United States will not launch a large-scale ground war at the beginning. Unlike what the Iraqi Ministry of Defense had envisioned, it is impossible for the United States to launch a large-scale air strike against Iraq, and the war will be resolved on the ground… This kind of thing cannot happen…”

Xie Kai didn’t say too much detail.

Qi Zhengshan and the others have no channels to get this kind of news, and they don’t even have any channels to understand it in China.

Xie Kai can say it because he is a latecomer.

Qi Zhengshan and Himmlet didn’t believe this would happen at all.

The United States has mobilized more than 400,000 troops to Saudi Arabia, plus the coalition forces, the total number exceeds 600,000.

If it is only to launch a large-scale air strike, why not send out ground troops and mobilize so many troops?

Air combat can’t regain Kuwait either.

“You must strictly follow my requirements. Before the time I said, you must throw away all the oil in your hand and start short international oil.”

Xie Kai did not explain.

If these two people are unwilling to do it, he will find another person to do it.

When Qi Zhengshan and Himmlet came back from Xie Kai, Himmlet was in a bad mood all the time, and Qi Zhengshan also complained.

“Himmlet, stop making trouble, the boss has not made any mistakes in every investment… Besides, even if it loses, it is his money. We don’t lose much…”

Qi Zhengshan would also think about it. He never thought about not doing it with Xie Kai.

Once he doesn’t work with Xie Kai, he, the god of Xiangjiang stock, will instantly show his true shape.

“I hope he can’t be wrong, if he is wrong, I will leave!”

Himmlet said firmly, he did not want to follow a mad boss.

Qi Zhengshan just sighed.

Everyone is upset.

The international market is clearly in a good situation and is rising sharply. Xie Kai has to short the market.

It’s not that the head is caught by the door. What is it?
