In the midsummer of August, California has a Mediterranean climate with warm sun and breeze.

In Williams Manor, Caesar and Diana rode a black and a white noble pony on the farm. The black pony that Caesar rides is from England and belongs to Shetland pony; the white pony that Diana rides is from China and belongs to Debao pony. At present, the most famous ponies in the world are the British Shetland ponies and China's Debao ponies. Because the number of pony horses is scarce, they are especially precious. It can be said that they are the treasure of horses. They are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. They have become a symbol of nobility!

The height of these two ponies is below 90cm, and Caesar and Diana rode on them, just right. For the sake of safety, a servant was arranged to pull the horse rope to prevent accidents.

Henry stood in front with his company's Williams camera to take pictures of Caesar and Diana, while Ulysses watched.

Little Caesar and Little Diana are both wearing horseback riding outfits and helmets. They look cute and heroic.

"Laugh and pose!"

Henry yelled to them. The two children are now over a year old, can talk, and can understand Henry's words, and immediately made a scissor-hand gesture.

With the improvement of aesthetic level and the improvement of ideological concepts, scissors hands have made people feel aesthetic fatigue and feel a little boring. But the appearance of Caesar and Diana made Henry feel extremely cute!

After taking a few photos, Henry stepped forward, kissed each of them on the face, and then asked, "Do you like your pony?"

"Like!" Caesar and Diana replied in unison, milky voice.

"Since you like it, then you can give your own horse a name!"

"it is good!!!"

The two children began to discuss what name should be given to their pony.

At this time, the cell phone rang, and Henry looked at the number, and it was Kailena's call.

"My dear, is there anything you want to do with me?"

"En..." Kailena said, "Our funds have been fully cashed out from the Japanese stock market. According to the statistics of Weifeng Capital, we have made a total of nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars! Now, I have arranged manpower to prepare for speculation. Crude oil futures! Honey, how much do you think we need to invest in it?"

Henry thought for a moment and said, "Invest 100 billion US dollars and use 100 times leverage!!!"

After Henry finished speaking, Kailena's voice was not heard from the phone for a long time, and it seemed to be shocked!

After a while, Kailena took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure it's 100 times leverage? You know, this way, it's equivalent to using US$100,000 to speculate in crude oil futures. This is a big deal. A huge gamble!"

"Yes, I know!" Henry knew all about the future oil rally.

At the beginning of 2003, the international crude oil price will exceed 30 US dollars per barrel, and then no longer look back.

In September 2004, affected by the Iraq War, the international crude oil price once again exceeded US$40/barrel, then continued to rise, and exceeded US$50 for the first time. It then broke $60/barrel and accelerated its pace.

In August 2005, Mexico was hit by Hurricane Katrina, and the international crude oil price exceeded US$70/barrel for the first time.

On September 12, 2007, the international crude oil price exceeded US$80/barrel for the first time, and then continued to accelerate the market.

On October 18, 2007, the international crude oil price exceeded US$90/barrel for the first time, and approached US$100/barrel at the end of the year!

International crude oil prices surged sharply in 2008, and crude oil futures prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange hit an all-time high of US$147.27 per barrel on July 14.

Henry paused and continued: "The delivery time of our crude oil futures contract is set on August 31, 2005!"

After speaking, Henry couldn't help but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Hurricane "Katrina" is a natural disaster, and no one expected it would come so fast! The hurricane swept through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. It was catastrophic and caused at least $75 billion in economic losses. It became the most devastating hurricane in the history of the United States. No less than 1,836 people were killed. .

At this time, more than one-third of the oil fields near the Gulf of Mexico were forced to close. Seven oil refineries and an important U.S. crude oil export facility also had to temporarily suspend work. The crude oil price of the New York Mercantile Exchange surged by 4.67 US dollars per barrel at the opening on August 29, reaching 70.8 US dollars! Until September 2, the International Energy Agency announced that all 26 member states agreed to put 2 million barrels of crude oil from strategic reserves on the market every day for 30 days to help resolve market tensions caused by Hurricane Katrina. . Crude oil futures prices on the New York market fell sharply that day.

Therefore, if the delivery time of the crude oil futures contract is stuck at the time point of August 31, you can naturally make the most! ! !

The reason why Henry did not continue to speculate was actually deliberate. 100 billion US dollars is already a huge amount of data, and then 100 times leverage will inevitably cause substantial fluctuations in international crude oil prices. It is not difficult to imagine that by August 31, 2005, the international crude oil price will definitely be much higher than the previous life, or it may exceed 100 US dollars per barrel! After fishing a lot, counting the time, it's almost time to launch an electric car. At that time, international crude oil prices may plummet! Therefore, after earning another hand, there is no need to take risks anymore!

"Ok~lightnovelpub.net~ Whatever you say!" Kailena said, "Oh, yes, there is another thing. Soros is going to ask me if I want to join forces to attack Asian countries, I Feeling wrong, so I just rejected it!

We are different from Soros, he is a pure financial capitalist, but we have many physical companies and products. I believe that the future of Asia will be an extremely huge market. If we blatantly launch a financial war against it, it will inevitably make local countries and people hate us, and our products may not be sold in the future! ! ! "

"You did the right thing!" Henry nodded and said, "Not to mention whether launching a financial war will succeed. Even if it succeeds, I will pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon! This time I have no other choice but to target Japan. So, who makes them our enemies! We will naturally not show mercy to our enemies!"

Come on, hurt each other!

The Mitsui Consortium and the Mitsubishi Consortium of Japan have now experienced the pain, losing hundreds of billions of dollars, and also affecting Japan as a whole, causing the international competitiveness of Japanese products to plummet, causing a relatively long-term negative impact. Japan is now a mess. The number of unemployed people in the country is as high as millions. The economy is in a downturn. Many people can't afford to eat. They rely on Japanese government relief. A year ago, Japan's gDP could reach more than US$3 trillion, ranking second in the world. However, starting from this year, Japan's gDP plummeted sharply, and I am afraid that within a few years, it will miss the top three! ! !
