v3 Chapter 918： Huge floating profits on the eve of oil futures harvest

/

Returning to New York again, Xia Yu first paid attention to the situation of the merged Philip-Solomon Company.

There are still some areas of the company that have not been fully integrated, but in terms of progress, Xia Yu has nothing to say. John Gooflan, the later "King of Wall Street", is very capable.

And even in the integration, Philip Solomon is still running very well.

Philip Solomon's strength in the futures field is still very strong. Although it temporarily cut off the business of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures, in the field of oil futures, Philip Solomon's investment is still very fierce.

But think about it, anyway, Philip Brothers was also a leader in futures, which was calculated by Xia Yu, and was **** down. Now it has merged with Salomon Brothers, and it is still a giant for other peers.

After 　　, Xia Yu also learned about the investment and operation of the New York branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., and Toby Morton managed the company well.

Although Polaris Capital did not take over Disney, Toby Morton bought a 13.6% stake in Wall Street.

Xia Yu plans to transfer the shares of these Disney companies to the British Bright Fund to prepare for future actions.

After 　　, Xia Yu took the pre-investment target survey data collected by Toby Morton, and after browsing it, the circle drew a number of key long-term investment targets.

The most typical is Kodak, the camera giant.

Xia Yu knows very well that Kodak launched epoch-making products in the era of so-called photos in 1981. In the 1980s, many Chinese people left the shadow of Kodak in their best youth.

In this year, Kodak’s sales exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars, and its market value exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars this year, becoming the tenth largest company in the United States by market value.

So at this time, using financial leverage to invest in Kodak, the return is absolutely high.

After the news of Xia Yu's arrival in New York was known by Warren Buffett, the latter specially invited him to lunch at the most famous steakhouse in New York.

While enjoying the compliments of Warren Buffett, Xia Yu talked with him about investment methods, which made Warren Buffett a lot.

If Warren Buffett would listen to Xia Yu's advice, the value of this lunch would be more than a few million dollars, and it would not be impossible for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

When he left, Xia Yu had a thought in his mind. Maybe he could add an item to his Sotheby’s auction house in the future when he held an annual auction, called "Lunch with Xia Yu," and then transfer the auction funds. Using it for charity can definitely become a good talk.

Of course, Xia Yu dismissed this idea after obscenity. Compared with world-famous, he prefers to hide himself behind the scenes. This is the way that capitalists who truly dominate the distribution of world resources should behave in the world.

It may be the opportunity of a cup of tea or a meal to decide or contribute to an event that has a profound impact on the world.

exposed to the spotlight, jumping around under the eyes of countless people, that is called the rich, at best, it is the super rich.

Finally, Xia Yu quietly came to the location of the Galaxy Fund. After inspecting the company, he convened a meeting with Xue He, Song Yang and others to make arrangements for the investment in oil futures.

In the conference room, Xia Yu read the reports provided by various investment groups to understand the real situation of Galaxy Fund today.

During the four months from September to December 1980, Xue He and others were not idle. Although the price of oil futures has been rising, they still unswervingly invested money in it.

After officially entering in 1981, funds were completely stopped entering the market. Although oil futures prices rose more and more, they all implemented Xia Yu's instructions faithfully and resolutely stopped entering the market.

During the four months from September to December, the Galaxy Fund again invested 1.378 billion US dollars into the oil futures market, this time again without using leverage.

Mainly considering that David Rockefeller has known that he is speculating in oil futures, so Xia Yu can only do so for the sake of insurance. Anyway, he doesn't have much else, but has a lot of liquidity.

After four months, the investment of 1.378 billion US dollars, the average purchase price of 30.1 US dollars / barrel, a total of 45,800 lots were bought.

Now the Galaxy Fund has invested a total of 7.138 billion US dollars.

In addition to the oil futures contracts it held before, the Galaxy Fund holds 313,600 futures contracts, which is properly hidden behind the scenes of major oil futures speculators.

According to today’s latest opening price of US$33.7/barrel, the total value of these oil futures contracts is currently US$10.57 billion.

is subtracted, and the floating profit is as high as $3.43 billion!

is more than two billion more than the 1.256 billion US dollars at the end of August.

Of course, even if you make more money this time, it will definitely not exceed the amount you made during the previous speculation in gold futures.

There is no way, who made the current oil futures market just started, the market capacity is far less than the gold futures market, he invested less than the previous speculation in gold futures, it is very good to have so many floating profits.

Putting down the report, Xia Yu tapped his finger on the table, focusing everyone's attention on himself.

Xia Yu slowly said: "The number of contracts in our hands is already very large. Have you made a sound exit plan?"

"Boss, my team has been designed. After repeated deductions, there should be no loopholes."

"Boss, my team also made a plan..."

……

All the executives answered one after another.

Because the speculation in gold futures has gone through a scene larger than it is now, they all have experience.

Now that it’s okay to express his position, Xia Yu is relieved.

"Boss, the price is about to reach $34/barrel. The price fluctuations are already obvious. Should we withdraw?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xue He said with some worry.

Other people are also staring at Xia Yu, they also have this concern.

Xia Yu smiled and slowly said, "Don't worry, there is still a lot of room for improvement."

"Don't look at the big volatility today. Tomorrow you watch TV and keep an eye on the news of the White House to ensure that oil futures prices will rise sharply!"

Xue He and others' eyes lit up, and they heard what the boss Xia Yu meant.

"Boss, tomorrow is the time when the US President takes office. Will the US government intervene in oil futures by policy?"

Song Yang hurriedly asked.

They all know that the boss was busy with the US election last year. Although they don't know the details, they know that it will definitely not be a trivial matter to make the boss work so hard to do this.

So in their view, with the energy of the boss, it is absolutely possible to learn about the unannounced decree of the US government!

It's a pity that even if they were curious, Xia Yu didn't tell them, but said again: "You will know tomorrow."

When everyone was lost, Xia Yu said again: "But now I will draw a line for you. As long as the oil futures price exceeds 37 US dollars per barrel, you will begin to exit the market in an orderly manner."

"According to my estimation, the highest point should be above 39 USD/barrel."

"Leave a space for two dollars, can you complete the retreat?"

"can do!"

"No problem boss!"

……

Xia Yu nodded slightly, but he was not worried in his heart.

According to the original historical trajectory This time the oil crisis caused the oil futures to skyrocket, but it exceeded 39 US dollars/barrel, but it never broke the 40 US dollars/barrel line.

And this time, he also invested more than seven billion dollars into the market, directly raising the threshold.

And he had eaten such a big piece of cake, so the cake distributed to the heads of the financial giants on Wall Street would naturally be smaller.

With their greedy faces, they should not retreat without eating enough benefits, so it is very likely that they will continue to raise the price hard.

Under the influence of his butterfly wings, the price of oil futures this time is likely to exceed the $40/barrel mark, realizing the unfulfilled wishes of those speculators in the past.

Therefore, he arranges a price of 37 US dollars per barrel and then flees. It is simply not too safe!

Finally, the meeting ended with Xia Yu’s inspiring words.

Xia Yu returned to the manor in the suburbs of New York, ready to rest and recharge for what will happen tomorrow.

This evening, Ronald Reagan held a special "candle light celebration" to reward the donors and entrepreneurs of tomorrow's inauguration, and of course some people invited to support his election.

But this kind of celebration to save Ronald Reagan did not send an invitation to Xia Yu. Even if he did, he would not go. It was not in line with his status, because tonight's party was only for ordinary supporters.

His stage, tomorrow night!
