Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 1274 1274 [Flip against the wind! 】

The entire United States is collectively bad-mouthing Longteng Fund and Soros, the financial giant who controls the fund.

Colleagues are laughing at Soros, saying that he was unlucky this time and stepped on dog shit.

The general public is a little better, but they also feel that Soros has lost the battle this time!

Only a small number of those who knew the details complained for Soros, and felt that the reason why the Longteng Fund suffered serious losses this time was not because of Soros' poor execution ability, but because of the wrong decision-making by Shi Zhijian, the boss behind the fund!

"That Shi Zhijian is that idiot, a lunatic! A self-righteous guy! Yes, all Chinese people are like this. They always think they are smart, but they don't know the truth and they will slap him in the face!"

"Poor Soros, I don't know why he got on Shi Zhijian's thief ship! Now riding a tiger is hard to get off, and his reputation will be ruined!"

"That Shi Zhijian is the culprit! Soros is just his puppet! He wants to fight Downey and Buffett wholeheartedly, but now, isn't it miserable?!"

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement!

These people ridiculed Shi Zhijian. In their view, they are proud white people, Europeans and Americans are the masters of the financial world, and they are qualified to aspire to the throne of stock gods. What qualifications does a Chinese from Hong Kong like Shi Zhijian have?

Stupid people can only become garbage!

…

"Stupid people are worse than rubbish!"

October 6, 1973.

Last time today, the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries announced an oil embargo against countries that support Israel. The first embargoed countries included the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, and Japan, which were later extended to Portugal, South Africa, and Rhodesia. The oil embargo was not lifted until March 1974, which caused the global oil price to soar from about US$3 to US$12 per barrel, which had a profound impact on the world economy and politics.

now-

United States, Downey Hills --

Donny Rothschild is holding a grand banquet, inviting many investors, as well as relatives and friends to congratulate this great financial battle.

Downey was wearing a black Italian custom-made dress, holding a glass of champagne in style, behind him was a beautiful champagne tower, behind the champagne tower was a fountain, splashing water.

Downey stood arrogantly in front of the champagne tower and in front of the fountain, like Zeus, the **** of the gods, with an aura of power all over his body.

Surrounded by well-dressed wealthy elites, as well as gentlemen and dignitaries, they also held champagne and looked at Downey with admiring eyes.

"Stupid people are worse than rubbish!" Donnie repeated his opening remarks while holding a wine glass.

"Fight against the general trend, against me, that is a dead end! Do you know why? Because I am Downey, I am the general trend, and I am the stock market!"

Everyone looked at Downey, and listening to his domineering speech, they also knew who the dying person was.

"Of course, I still have to thank one person in this war, and that is Mr. Warren Buffett!" Downey made an invitation gesture to Buffett standing beside him.

Buffett froze for a moment, adjusted his tie quickly, and stepped forward with a wine glass.

Downey asked Buffett to stand next to him, and said proudly: "I don't need to introduce him, everyone knows who he is-yes, he is Mr. Buffett, my brain truster, my friend, my general, and the leader who defeated him. The hero who defeated the Dragon Fund and defeated Shi Zhijian and Soros!"

Everyone looked at Buffett.

Buffett only felt that the glory was infinite in an instant.

"Come on, let's all applaud him!"

"Papa papa!"

Under Downey's call, everyone applauded Buffett and gave him admiration.

Buffett was calm on the surface and calmly accepted the congratulations from everyone, but he was very excited inside.

To be honest, Buffett never expected that crude oil futures would really keep falling like this!

At the beginning, he almost suggested that Downey throw away the futures in hand and take profit, but now the profit has reached 40% again, which is simply a miracle!

"Could it be that I was wrong, that I was thinking too much?" Buffett even began to doubt himself.

Fortunately, Mr. Downey didn't mind what happened before. Instead, he praised him a lot, such as at this moment—

As a financier and trader, the greatest honor in the world is this!

"Okay, everyone be quiet!" Downey waved his hand to calm everyone down. "We have such a grand dinner tonight. In addition to thanking Mr. Buffett for helping me all the time, I also want to thank one person—"

Downey said and raised the champagne glass, "Come on, let's all say his name together!"

"Shi Zhijian!"

"Peter Caine!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed.

"Yes, we have our enemies to thank! We are rich because of our enemies' stupidity! Come on, let's drink!"

"cheers!"

"I wish stupid Shi Zhijian!"

"Good luck to that fool Pete!"

Everyone raised the champagne glass and drank it down!

At this moment, someone hurried over! Because he walked too fast, he almost knocked over the champagne tower behind Mr. Downey!

"Damn it, what are you in such a hurry for?" Donnie's bodyguard thought he had some purpose and immediately stepped forward to grab him.

"I'm looking for Mr. Buffett, I have something important to report to him!"

The person who came was Buffett's confidant, and Arthur, the most important trader of Buffett's investment company!

Buffett also saw Arthur, not knowing what happened, Arthur's face was pale and flustered.

"What, looking for you?" Donnie also saw it, and asked Buffett.

"Yes," Buffett said, "He's called Arthur. He's my apprentice, and he's a good investor—the last time you met in the conference room."

"I remember, it's the guy who dared to stroke my beard!" Downey nodded, beckoning to the bodyguards, "Let him come over!"

Arthur was let go, and hurried to Buffett without tidying up his clothes, and then whispered a few words to him.

In an instant, Buffett's expression changed drastically!

"What happened?" Donnie asked.

Everyone else looked at Buffett curiously.

Buffett opened his mouth, but seemed to be exhausted by something, unable to speak, it took him a long time to spit out: "Middle East... A war broke out!"

Crack!

Someone's wine glass fell to the ground and shattered!

Immediately there was a dead silence!

War in the Middle East?

So the oil—

Oil production will be cut! Will be embargoed!

Then the price of oil will—

Soaring!

"Hurry up!!" Someone urged, "Hurry up and look at the current crude oil futures price!"

"God, it's night and the market hasn't opened yet!"

"It will be too late until the market opens!" Someone cried, "War, this is a war! It's not an ordinary black swan event, maybe we will pay for it!"

At this moment, everyone no longer had the same interest as before, and everyone was full of anxiety! What's more, they stomped their feet like ants on a hot pan!

"Calm down! Everyone, calm down! Maybe things are not as bad as everyone imagined!" Downey, as the boss, called everyone to stay calm.

"Wars. In the Middle East, there is always a small fight every day, and a big fight every ten days, but every time there is thunder and rain, and there is little rain—maybe it will be the same this time!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Maybe it was a false alarm! Turn on the TV quickly and see what it says—"

The TV was quickly turned on, and sure enough, real-time news was being broadcast on it.

Everyone watched the broadcast nervously, until the spokesperson above announced: "The fourth Middle East war broke out—"

"Oil is banned!"

"The oil plant is completely shut down!"

"The price of oil has skyrocketed to as high as $4 a barrel!"

With a bang, the scene exploded!

People can't stay calm anymore!

When they invested, the price of a barrel of oil was US$2.9, and then let them earn 40% profit by shorting oil futures, but now—

The price of oil not only rose to the original position, but also continued to skyrocket, reaching an astonishing $4!

In other words, those who shorted crude oil futures not only spit out all the previous profits, but also lost one-third of their funds!

"God!" Someone fainted at the scene!

This is just the price of oil released by the news. The exchange has not opened yet, and I don’t know what the price of oil will be at that time——

Downey stared at the TV in a daze, crying and howling in his ears.

His five billion dollars is now only three and a half billion dollars?

How can it be?

Donnie laughed, feeling crazy! It's a joke! Someone must be plotting!

Buffett's face was ashen, and the hand holding the champagne glass was trembling.

Arthur stepped forward to support him so that he would not fall!

"Tomorrow, maybe tomorrow will be better..." Buffett said, and as far as his eyes were concerned, there was wailing around him!

…

the next day—

When the New York Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, Toronto Stock Exchange, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in Asia opened, what everyone heard was no longer howls, but dead silence!

Those investors who shorted crude oil futures were ashamed and crumbling! What's more, it's like a walking dead, it's numb at all—

When the market opened that day, the global oil price had doubled to an astonishing $5.89!

In other words, all investors who are shorting crude oil futures have lost half of their losses!

Looking at the numbers still bouncing on the big screen, Buffett wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.

Arthur couldn't bear it anymore: "Throw it away, stop the loss in time!"

"Stop loss?" Buffett gritted his teeth.

"Yes, the war is getting bigger and bigger now, and the price of oil will only continue to rise in this way-if we don't stop losing money, we may lose more!"

Of course Buffett knew this, but he himself didn't want to believe it.

But the data in front of you will not lie, and the situation will not lie.

After a little thought, Buffett immediately called Donnie Rothschild and sold the stop loss strategy directly.

Needless to say, his strategy was scolded by Downey like hell!

Originally earning 2 billion US dollars, it suddenly became a loss of 2.5 billion US dollars, and anyone would blow it up.

"Can't sell! Will come back, yes! I believe that the United States will soon send troops to stop this **** war, and the price will continue to fall by then!" Downey roared, "I have fought many military bosses Phone, they think so too, yes, you must listen to me! Damn it!"

Buffett hung up the phone, hesitant.

Arthur asked: "What should we do now? Do we really stick to it until we lose everything?"

"No!" Buffett's eyes were murderous, and he slammed his fist on the table, "Sell off our company! Everything! As for Mr. Downey, let him insist!"

Arthur nodded. He knew how difficult this decision was for Buffett. After all, the company lost more than half of the money.

The news of Buffett's investment company selling crude oil futures crazily came out. Those who followed him saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly followed, even if they lost money, they could only accept it!

It was already night when Downey heard the news, and the stock exchange was closed.

Downey yelled at Buffett, scolded Buffett for being short-sighted, and scolded him for not being strategic! Finally, it extended to eighteen generations of ancestors who scolded Buffett!

"Downey Financial Company has suffered serious losses, currently as high as 2.5 billion!"

"Buffett Investment Company stopped losses in time, and all its investors broke out in a cold sweat!"

On TV, newspapers have reported on this sudden incident one after another.

Investors from European and American countries were in mourning, and many went bankrupt directly to the rooftops.

In just three days, European and American countries staged scenes of "trapezes"!

Most of these people are short crude oil futures and leveraged!

…

Compared with those investors who are shorting crude oil futures and are dying at the moment, Longteng Fund is silent at this moment.

Looking at the profits that were still bouncing up in front of them, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak!

Invested more than two billion U.S. dollars, and now it has changed from a loss of six to seven billion to a profit of two billion in one go!

What does this mean?

Is God playing with us?

Shen Bi bit her cigar and looked at Saipan in a daze.

Saipan also looked at Shen Bi in a daze.

The two looked at each other, and found that each other looked dejected, with blood red eyes and unshaven beards!

They had barely had a good night's sleep during this time.

They are often awakened by nightmares as soon as they lie down. Either the company collapsed, or they stood on the roof and prepared to jump off.

But now—

Gudong!

Shen Bi swallowed, "I have to admit... Mr. Shi is right again this time!"

Saipan also said with a look of disbelief: "Yeah, not only was the bet right, but it also turned against the wind!"

"He's just amazing!"

"No, he is God!"

The two are full of admiration and admiration for Shi Zhijian! I almost got down on my knees!

"Two billion, we made two billion! Fully doubled!"

"Do you want to throw it away? The money is stuffed in your pocket~www.readwn.com~ In case—"

"Yes, yes, yes! Contact Soros quickly and ask him to throw away his stocks!"

Shen Bi and Saipan were in a panic, and hurried to find a phone to call Soros.

Jingle Bell!

Soros answered the phone, and when Shen Bi and Saipan asked him to sell the futures stocks, he was taken aback for a moment, and said: "My dear Shi, I will never sell if I don't earn four times as much!"

"ah?"

Shen Bi and Saipan fell to the ground in shock!

quadruple?

is it possible?

Mr. Shi is crazy!

Soros put down the phone, shrugged, and felt that Shi Zhijian was crazy, more insatiable than himself. This has already doubled to 100% profit point, and he wants to reach 400%, is it possible? !
