The information about Huofeng Investment has been circulated to CNOOC for procedures. CNOOC has also stated that it will come to sign a formal contract recently. The contract has not been signed and the transaction with CNOOC is not completed. In other words, Huofeng Investment has not yet carried out any business.

Chen Shaofeng, the general manager, knew this and said in confusion: "Wen Shao wants the company to do crude oil futures now?"

Li Wen had not had time to answer, but the door of the conference room was pushed open, and four men and one woman came in. It should be said that three men and one woman and one little brat.

At Chen Shaofeng's signal, the five people looked for a seat in silence, but they all glanced at Li Wen and Xiao Tian. Secretary Sun brought a glass of clear water for each of them, and withdrew from the conference room at Chen Shaofeng's signal.

Chen Shaofeng stood up, cleared his throat, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "Since we are all here, I'll introduce it to you. This is our boss, Mr. Li Wen. Mr. Li Wen doesn't like others to call him boss, so we all call him boss by Wen Shao, and everyone can also call him boss like this... This is Mr. Xiao Tian, ​​the assistant of Wen Shao, and Mr. Xiao Tian is also the legal representative of the company. Let me explain to you that as long as you know Mr. Wen's identity, I hope everyone knows it, and don't spread it to you."

Li Wen stood up with a smile and said, "It's not as serious as Mr. Chen said, but I personally like to be more low-key. Everyone is welcome to join my team. I am a person who is easy to get along with, and you will find out later. I won't say much about other nonsense, everything depends on time... Mr. Chen will introduce these people to me."

"This is Zhou Zhenyu, the trader in the team. He is 33 years old and has a master's degree in international finance at the University of Warwick in the UK. He was a trader in the Futures Trading Department of Goldman Sachs Hong Kong Branch three months ago."

"This is Zhao Qingmei, the only woman in the team. She is an analyst in the team and my wife. She is a Ph.D. in international finance at the Wharton School of Pennsylvania, USA. She was an analyst in the investment department of HSBC three days ago."

"This is Mark, who is in charge of intelligence in the team. Although Mark is white, he has lived in Hong Kong since his ancestors. He is 32 years old and has a Ph.D. in information management at New York University. Two days ago, he served as the head of intelligence in a private equity firm. I personally believe that Mark's intelligence capabilities can rank among the top five in Hong Kong."

"This is Wang Chao, the ordering placing staff in the team. Wang Chao has a hand speed of up to 25 times per second. He is 27 years old and has a bachelor degree in international finance at the Hong Kong College of Education. He is Zhou Zhenyu's ordering staff at Goldman Sachs."

"This kid is a computer expert in our team. His name is Li Xiaoming, 20 years old, a first-year student in computer software majoring in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology."

"Based on the principle of preferring to be insignificant than to be indiscriminate, there are only a few of them for the time being."

Li Wen took over the conversation: "It's very sound and pretty good... If you can get together and work together, it means that you are destined to be together, but whether this fate can last for a long time can be seen by the people here. I ignore what happened in the past, but I only look at the future. Mr. Chen dares to bring you together, which means that Mr. Chen believes in your ability. But it's one thing, and it's another thing to do. Now there is a business that can test everyone's achievements. I believe Mr. Chen has already explained to you, so don't say too much about other polite words. Now we will discuss the international crude oil futures market. Mr. Mark, since you are in charge of intelligence, let's talk about the recent crude oil futures market situation first."

Mark stood up, owed Li Wen, and nodded slightly to Li Xiaoming, handed him a U disk. Li Xiaoming quickly got up and fiddled with the computer. After a while, a piece of text was projected on the screen. Mark said: "Because time is too tight and there is not much information, I can only find that the powerful New York Stock Exchange shorted crude oil. The funds of this force are quite huge."

Since the US oil consumption accounts for nearly one-third of the world, the New York Stock Exchange's oil futures trading position is very important, affecting the global oil prices to a certain extent. As long as the price of the New York Stock Exchange fluctuates greatly, trading on the London Exchange and Singapore will fluctuate.

Li Wenyi frowned and said, "Can you find out the source of funds?"

"It can be roughly judged that it is from Japan, but it needs to be confirmed."

"So are there any large institutions coming out to take orders now?" This is the most important thing. If there are no large institutions with considerable strength coming out to take orders, the small institutions can't resist the Japanese financial advantages at all.

"At present, there are no major institutions that have entered the market to receive orders. However, it is impossible to confirm whether there are major institutions that are secretly building positions. In addition, I have received the news that on May 1, Julian Robertson of Tiger Fund had convened a group of giants to hold a secret meeting in the Middle East a few days ago, and the content of the meeting was unknown."

"Middle East?" Li Wen looked at Mark, Julian Robertson and other bigwigs in financial markets in confusion and wanted to get a share, but it was a problem that these bigwigs who had been entrenched in the United States suddenly ran to the Middle East for a meeting. The Middle East was not very welcome to the Americans.

"There is news that OPEC does not want crude oil futures prices to be below $26 per barrel, so this secret meeting may be organized by OPEC." The person who interrupted was analyst Zhao Qingmei.

Li Wen looked through the information handed over by Zhao Qingmei for a while before slowly saying: "In other words, these Middle East giants may invest to invite these giants to come out to protect the market?"

Chen Shaofeng nodded and said, "This possibility is not ruled out. Oil producers in the Middle East rarely hedge on crude oil futures. They prefer to influence prices by controlling output. However, the control of output is lagging, and the delivery of crude oil is closely following futures. If futures unexpectedly plummet in a certain period of time, oil producers will suffer heavy losses."

Zhao Qingmei continued: "This situation happened once in October last year. In October last year, crude oil futures prices suddenly fell sharply, with a drop of 20%. The sudden plunge in futures prices caused a lot of oil producers in the Middle East, and oil producers hated the manipulated forces. At the beginning of this year, there was news that the sharp drop in October last year was caused by the Japanese consortium. As for why Japan suddenly sold strongly on crude oil, we cannot find out. So, after the news said that the short selling was also the Japanese forces, oil producers in the Middle East immediately responded."

Li Wen signaled to Mark who was still standing in front of him to sit down and said, "With the Middle Eastern character of a vengeful person, this is quite possible. Mark, hurry up and contact your friends, don't be reluctant to spend money. After the meeting, you go to the Finance Department to withdraw one million US dollars as activity funds. I want to learn about the Tiger Fund's actions as soon as possible. By the way, has the Finance Department done it?"

It is impossible to get first-hand news from these big zombies. I can only say that it will not lag too much. They eat meat and let’s drink some soup.

In just a few days, Chen Shaofeng had already built the company's framework and said, "Well, I have only hired a professional accounting cashier for the time being."

Li Wen said: "Enough, we have no other business now, so we don't need to make it too complicated by various departments. I will transfer some funds to the company's sub-account for the company's normal operation funds. The transfer of funds of more than 500,000 US dollars requires the authorization of General Manager Chen. For more than 1 million US dollars, I need authorization of General Manager Chen and Assistant Xiao, and for more than 5 million US dollars, I need authorization of them."

After a pause, Li Wen continued: "Back to the topic just now, I will tell you about the news that the shorting of crude oil this time is indeed from Japan. The core banks of the six major Japanese consortiums including Industrial Bank, Fuji Bank, First Quartet Bank, Sanhe Bank, Tokai Bank, Tokyo Trust Bank, Sumitomo Bank and Sakura Bank are not too much to short the crude oil this time."

Zhao Qingmei suddenly realized and said, "No wonder OPEC's financial resources have to ask the American giants to help!"

"If the six major Japanese consortiums take action at the same time, the funds they mobilized may be as high as 500 billion US dollars. OPEC may not lose to them in terms of financial resources, but OPEC, especially Muslims, is born to only engage in internal strife and rebellion. If it is more than intra-fighting, they will definitely win. But if they want to seek revenge on Japan in futures, it is probably because the old revenge has not been avenged. This time they know themselves and ask the American tycoons to help." Zhou Zhenyu said.

Zhao Qingmei suddenly wondered: "Why did Japan mobilize so much? Although Japan is the world's second largest oil consumer, the lower the oil price, the better it will be, but such a move will offend many forces. Is it necessary to do so? Is this a trap?"

After all, Zhao Qingmei and the others are only limited to the business field and lack sufficient political sense, so they cannot blame them. Even those Middle Easterners probably cannot guess what the purpose of Japan's national strength is.

Japan is a country with poor resources, which is well known to the world, but everything is only relative. The poverty of Japan's resources is only relative to land. With the development of science, the technology mastered by humans has become more and more advanced. The technological breakthrough has become possible from land that accounts for only 29% of the world to oceans that account for 71% of the world. This is well known to the whole world.

Japan's territory can be said to be composed of islands. The fragmented islands make Japan's sea area much larger than that of ordinary mainland countries. Therefore, when marine development technology can enter the actual process, Japan's resources are no longer limited to land.

In recent years, Japan has long found out the distribution of resources in the surrounding seas by whaling. In Japan's investigation report, the East China Sea is the most abundant sea area. The manganese, cobalt, nickel, 100 years of age, natural gas and other mineral resources and fishery resources buried in this sea area is enough for Japan to consume 320 years, cobalt, 100 years of age, natural gas and other mineral resources and fishery resources to make Japan jealous.

Once Japan can occupy and develop the region, Japan will get rid of the situation of being limited by the poverty of natural resources, and can jump several levels in the economy and directly jump out of the US's restraint.

Therefore, Japan is very dedicated to this sea area, and it is not nonsense that the six major consortiums cooperate to suppress crude oil. Moreover, the six major consortiums take action at the same time and dare not fight against them. After the layout is done, they can make a big profit in the futures market. Why not do it?
