194 Oilfields under the fire of war
Since receiving a call from Chen Fan from the imperial capital, Ma Yunbo knew that the water in Boshima Co., Ltd. must be very deep, too obvious, and even chips are needed. Ma Yunbo thought a lot from this call. Although Chen Fan did not explain in detail, if he had no big moves, he would not believe it if he beaten to death.
However, out of professional habits, Ma Yunbo and Zhang Yang remained stable and did not rush to grab chips. They were worried that they would force others to get anxious and joined the rushing army. At that time, the stock price could not be suppressed even if they wanted to.
After listening to Ma Yunbo's information about the institutions that were seeking to buy stocks, Chen Fan just smiled faintly and did not take it to heart.
Now Mr. Liu has taken the marketing department to the imperial capital to talk about the details of private equity products with the agents of the young master and the lady. There is no way. There are still too few people with ability and experience in Chaofan Investment. As the first person to follow Chen Fan and the others, Chen Fan still trusts him so far.
During lunch, Zheng Xiaopang rushed back to the company in vain and shouted loudly when he walked into the gold trading room.
"Where has it fallen? Let me see it quickly."
Before he could wait for the computer to start, Zheng Xiaopang squeezed away Chen Fan.
"I said you don't want to squeeze in Jack Ma, and you can bully him with an acquaintance, right?"
Chen Fan didn't care if he was pushed away, he just made a joke.
Zheng Xiaopang didn't reply to Chen Fan's words, and then saw the computer screen clearly and said with a light "Huh": "We have so much less position? You really fell below 270 and started closing your position. You lost and lost. How good is it to close your position now."
"When Zhuge Liang."
Chen Fan replied unhappily.
Chen Fan said as he turned on the computer next to him and sat there watching Zheng Xiaopang tinker for a while, "Can you still find your position again?"
"I'm stupid, sell low and buy high." Zheng Xiaopang sat there and looked carefully for a while before saying: "It seems that it will break 260 in a while, and you still have to continue to reduce your positions with the trend?"
"I'll talk about it later. Did Lao Liu contact you? How are you talking there?" Chen Fan asked.
Zheng Xiaopang shook his head and said, "What can happen? The big framework is the one we proposed. Now we are talking about the specific details, and it should be getting better soon."
After saying that, Chen Fan signaled to speak to the side.
Chen Fan was a little puzzled when he saw Zheng Xiaopang's mysterious secret, so he got up and followed Zheng Xiaopang out of the trading room.
After walking into Chen Fan's office, Zheng Xiaopang whispered to Chen Fan: "The matter in that oil field has been settled, but the risk is a bit high."
Chen Fan did not speak immediately, but sat on his chair and waited for Zheng Xiaopang to sit down before asking, "How could it be?"
"Su Dan, oil fields have been discovered there for a long time, but there is a civil war there, so no one goes to develop it."
Zheng Xiaopang heard Chen Fan's question and even told the situation, and said with a wry smile: "The fight over there is very good, but the interesting thing is that my brother and the people on both sides can speak."
Chen Fan was thundered by Zheng Xiaopang and asked with some uncertainty: "The oil field will not be on the battlefield, right? That's all."
"No, no, no, the oil field is in the south, but the outlet is in the north. If you want to transport it out, you have to pass through the control area in the north. Therefore, the relationship between the two sides must be in place, otherwise it will not be possible to do it alone." Zheng Xiaopang explained hurriedly.
"Where is Sudan in Africa? Is this country big?" Chen Fan asked again after thinking about it.
Zheng Xiaopang scratched his head and said, "I don't know where Africa is. Anyway, there is oil there. The war was also related to that oil field, which was to compete for this piece of fat in the north and the south."
Chen Fan lowered his head and asked again, "What did your brother say, tell me slowly."
As he said that, Chen Fan got up and brought it to Zheng Xiaopang and himself for tea.
Zheng Xiaopang also recalled a little and said: "There were also plans to participate in the bidding project in China, but it was not over when the fight broke out. My brother found the information from that year and said that if he invested in that oil field now, it would cost at least 10 billion Chinese coins, about 12 billion. In addition, the trouble is that the oil pipelines and ports need to be repaired. It is estimated that more than 30 billion or more, and the total investment is about 16 billion."
"Can your brother deal with those two factions? Don't repair and explode here and there, it's a waste of work." Chen Fan said his concerns in his heart a little hesitantly.
"It's hard to say this now, but he said that if he really planned it, he could go and ask someone." Zheng Xiaopang said with some doubts: "The troublesome thing about this matter is not only the two sides of the battle, but also the money."
"Is it still a matter that money can handle?" Chen Fan asked in confusion.
Zheng Xiaopang gave Chen Fan a blank look and said, "In that place, there is basically no bank willing to make a loan. If we start that project, we can only invest in full. There is no way to say that we only pay the start-up capital and find a loan for subsequent funds. So the last time we discussed in the imperial capital cannot be done."
Chen Fan then realized that last time he was in the imperial capital, he discussed the oil field with Zhang Jianjun and Zheng Xiaopang. At that time, he considered spending part of the funds to start the project, and subsequent funds were carried out by bank loans.
"What's your brother's plan?" Chen Fan asked with a frown.
Zheng Xiaopang sighed and said, "We don't have to raise money, so we can only collect funds and see how much money we can invest in. My brother means to find someone to get it together first. If the funds can be roughly enough, he will go over and try it out. If we can reach an agreement with the other side, we can start preparing to set up a company to invest. If we can't handle it, we have to forget it."
"Africa is so big, are there no other oil fields?" Chen Fan thought for a while before asking. He still felt that it was a bit unreliable to produce oil in war-torn areas and it was too dangerous.
In such a dangerous area, even if mercenaries are really found and willing to take over the defense mission, can those mercenaries still fight with those warlords?
They have airplanes and cannons. Even if the mercenaries have some heavy weapons, they probably won't be enough to give them a pot.
People only need to blow up the plane, cannons and tanks, and 80% of the mercenaries will kneel down, and the oil field will be ruined, and the investment will be wasted.
"There are many places where oil fields are found in Africa, but they are all masters and nothing we can do. Even if there are the rest, 80% of them are oil fields with no mining value, so there is definitely no profit in investment." Zheng Xiaopang shook his head and said, "My brother has asked someone to evaluate it. Apart from Sudan, we can try to intervene in, there are no oil fields worth investing in."
"That means that now your brother is waiting for us to offer him a quote, so he can start looking for someone to invest to see if he can make up enough money?" Chen Fan rubbed his face and asked, "Damn it, it's 15 billion."
"Yes, now you see how many members we apply for?" Zheng Xiaopang nodded and responded to Chen Fan.
"What do you think? Should you invest money in Chaofan Investment or our personal name?" Chen Fan asked after thinking about it.
Zheng Xiaopang thought about it and said, "In my personal name, I think Erzhang's membership is too small, and even if he pulls them in, it won't be much money."
Hearing that Zheng Xiaopang planned to put aside Zhang Yang and Zhang Ping to invest in the oil field, Chen Fan felt that Zheng Xiaopang's idea was also good. Indeed, Zhang Ping and Zhang Yang's size could not support the oil field investment project, and the investment risk this time was not ordinary, so there was no need to bring them into the process. He should indeed consider setting up a stall outside Chaofan Investment, so he said, "Then how much do you think we invest appropriately?"
Zheng Xiaopang stretched out two fingers and said, "Twenty percent, half of each of us. I told my brother at that time that he had no objection."
"More than 3 billion." Chen Fan murmured in a low voice, and then said: "Then how can you make up your funds? You know that you can only get the money from the company. At least 2 billion will be required to get my share."
Zheng Xiaopang chuckled and said, "I discussed with my mother. She said there is no problem. The family can invest billion in this, so there is no problem here either."
"That's it, just do it. When your brother is sure that you can do it and start operating the investment company, we will just transfer the money to the dividends." Chen Fan thought about it and felt that there was no mistake. Even if he couldn't handle the war, there would be no losses. At most, he wouldn't invest.
Now it’s just to clarify the investment intention, so I simply decided to invest money.
So Zheng Xiaopang contacted Zhang Jianjun in front of Chen Fan and confirmed that they wanted 20% of the members. Chen Fan also took the phone and chatted with Zhang Jianjun for a few words before hanging up the phone.
"Make money and make money." Zheng Xiaopang stood up and suddenly shouted.
Chen Fan laughed and agreed, "Make money and make money, go and see if gold has fallen."
Since he had agreed to invest money, Chen Fan would not think about anything else for the time being. He would take back his attention and put it all on gold first, hoping to make a lot of money and make up for the huge financial hole he needed for this investment.
The two returned to the gold trading room and saw that the market gold price was still consolidating above 260 meters.
After the two sat down, Chen Fan randomly switched the K-line chart. When he adjusted to the hourly chart, he noticed that the decline channel was also extending with the passage of time, and the lower track had once again approached the current gold price, forming a counter-pressure for the subsequent operation of the gold price.
Chen Fan simply drew a line to calculate that if the gold price did not fall and remained at the current price, it would intersect at the latest tonight and tomorrow morning. Either the gold price would return to the decline channel, or it would fall sharply below 260 meters of yuan again.
Thinking of the gold auction on Europa tomorrow, Chen Fan probably had a premonition that the gold price should have a violent dive tomorrow, and it may soon bottom and rebound, and it will be directly pulled above 320 meters, otherwise there will be problems with his supernatural powers.
The only thing I need to do here is to close the position without hesitation during the diving stage, and to establish long positions as much as possible. Thinking of this, Chen Fan was a little nervous, afraid of an accident here.
What Chen Fan is most afraid of now is that the market does not operate according to his own guesses. If it does not fall below 260 meters, what should I do if it bottoms out at the current price?
At that time, if you still have more than 50,000 short orders here, you will lose a large amount of speculative profits. For Chen Fan, who is extremely short of money, such losses are unacceptable.
To be safer, continue to reduce positions near the existing price and minimize the current short positions. In this way, the pressure to close positions will be much less in the process of finding the bottom, but the corresponding speculative profit will also be reduced.
Chen Fan was a little confused again.
After calculating the benefits and risks in his mind, Chen Fan still discussed with Zheng Xiaopang a few words. Seeing that Zheng Xiaopang seemed a little reluctant, but in the end he was convinced.
Chen Fan issued the latest instructions to traders and began to continue to close short positions in gold, closing 10,000 lots above 260 meters of yuan.
After receiving the instructions, traders start to get busy. Whenever the gold price falls below 260.5 meters, Chaofan Investment will enter the market and close the position continuously, pulling the gold price up again.
Thanks to the fact that many funds are still waiting and watching, they are waiting for tomorrow's gold auction before determining the direction of the market. At this time, there are not many short funds entering the market to smash the market during the trading session, and the price of gold is protected above 260 meters.
Through this period of observation, Chen Fan also found that although the long positions of 260 meters seemed disordered, the bulls entering the market seemed very determined. There was no situation where short positions scattered and fled after consecutive large orders and failed to form a defeat. Instead, they were always touching and moving long.
Chen Fan whispered to communicate with Zheng Xiaopang about the observed situation. After a while, Zhang Yang also came from the big trading room. The three of them got together and pointed at the market, talking in a low voice.
After a period of observation, Zheng Xiaopang and Zhang Yang gradually felt something wrong with the bulls during the trading session. The current bulls and the bears collapsed instantly with a slight force a few days ago.
The bulls appear to be very organized and confident in entering the market, which also confirms Chen Fan's judgment that the gold price may rebound significantly later.
Compared with the decline space of one or twenty points and the rising space of dozens of points, Zheng Xiaopang and Zhang Yang decisively chose to gamble for a rise.
So Zheng Xiaopang issued the latest order to traders, "Continue to close positions, only 20,000 short positions will be retained, and all the others will be closed."
The reason why not all positions were closed is because Zheng Xiaopang planned to take another bet to see if the market would fall below 260 meters.
Even Chen Fan, who has always been cautious, feels that the market will have a dive and quickly fall below 260 meters. At that time, you only need to close the short positions in your hands during the decline and go long with the backhand.
During the decline, there is only so much trading volume, and you will buy and buy, which will only lose some short order profits. However, closing the order becomes long orders to open positions, and the huge room for subsequent rise is enough to make up for this loss.
The biggest risk will then shift to their judgment. If there is a mistake in judgment, it will be helpless.
It can be seen that although Zheng Xiaopang recognized Chen Fan's analysis, he was still a little nervous and not very down-to-earth.
However, Chen Fan could not tell them the basis for judgment, so he could only find a lot of reasons. Fortunately, the market bulls clearly showed that the market was accumulating strength and constantly entering the market to establish positions. Without spending too much verbal confusion, he convinced Zheng Xiaopang and Zhang Yang.
That night, the three of them took turns to watch the market, fearing that the gold price would suddenly storm.
Fortunately, after a peaceful night, the gold price was still above 260 meters. The lower track of this short-term decline channel has overwhelmed the area around 260.1 meters to 260.3 meters, fluctuated in the narrow space, 260.1 meters, and 260 meters, which seemed precarious and could break through and fall at any time.
