401 Money is just paper in a crisis
"Why are they here?"
Then he realized that he was not only robbing UBS's business, but also wanted to rob the business of the rich.
In the United States, the underground reserves are not much worse than those in desert areas, and the country ranked third.
At this time, not mining is just taking advantage of the low oil price and want to use up other people's first.
As long as the oil purchased by Li Changheng is not shipped out of the United States and is not used immediately, large American oil companies will not mind swallowing the contract of this 100 million US dollars.
They can even swallow the contract and then use the contract to do a three-party or even four-party business with desert areas, or South American countries.
Because the crude oil has not exceeded US$2 for ten years, and even if it has occurred once in 1967, there is only a 4-month oil embargo, the oil price has not exceeded US$2.
In addition, the fuel consumption in the world does not increase much every year.
Many United States even believe that the oil price of $2 will last forever.
Therefore, cars designed by Americans never consider displacement.
Although the desert tyrants were rich at this time, they had no money yet. They could actually reclaim land in the desert and build a modern city in the sand.
So no one will give up one, and one person wants to buy the whole United States crude oil import volume, one-thirty of the super customer.
Whoever wants to make more extra money depends on the expression of the person who got the contract?
What's worse for all oil-producing countries is that no one can predict the future and cannot predict that there will be an oil crisis in two and a half years.
Anyone with an expert knows that people like Li Changheng who buys oil and store it cannot always be in the warehouse.
Because he must use it or sell it in 3 years.
Otherwise, the quality of crude oil will decline, or even expire, causing a sharp drop in value.
So if you don’t grab this contract at this time, put the money in your pocket first. When Li Changheng starts selling oil in the future, will he squeeze out the oil market share?
Of course, no one who knows this is a fool. Everyone speculates and mistakenly thinks that Li Changheng is optimistic about the development of the United States.
This is only a year or two for oil storage, or oil prices will rise in three years.
Moreover, what Li Changheng didn't know was that he had earned such a huge fortune in less than three years. For many people, he was either a super genius or a lucky person.
So no matter what the reason is, before he fails, many people are willing to believe and be willing to follow him to make money.
But for oil-producing countries that are not ten years or can be harvested in thirty years, it is impossible for them to bet on the future economic situation like Li Changheng.
I dare not bet on the future international situation.
Since the oil production cannot be completed in a short period of time, of course, the right choice is to make the transaction first.
Only Americans who see this point will ignore etiquette and business ethics and directly grab business.
Because for a consortium that unites, everyone holds shares with each other, or even cross-holds.
Oil is not just their only profit point.
For consortiums like Citi, as long as they get the contract and buy oil from countries that produce oil, they don’t have to pay directly.
Can you give you military equipment, civilian equipment, or other goods to offset it?
no?
If not, I will buy other people's. Anyway, there are so many oil-producing countries, and even red polar bears are fine.
It instantly allowed the Americans to make money, expanded exports, and even put forward some conditions for some small countries.
This means that because of Li Changheng's $100 million, companies of all sizes have made profits in the industrial chain worth 1 billion.
This is more of a benefit than simply buying and selling oil.
Li Changheng, who figured out these things, had his first idea to push the responsibility out, then lower the price and raise the conditions.
Anyway, what is good for you?
So, he immediately frowned and stared at UBS's vice president, and his account manager at UBS, Rand Van Gundy.
"How did you do your confidentiality measures?"
"this,,,."
Rand was shocked. The super VIP questioned that UBS, which made it a way to survive by protecting customers' secrets, failed to keep the secret, which was equivalent to slapping them in the face and scolding them for being useless.
"I promise that UBS is definitely the strictest-mouthed bank in the world and the most rigorous confidentiality procedures."
Li Changheng shook his head and looked at the desert rich people and said, "Gentlemen, Citi people are here."
Damn it.
Rand and the desert tyrants all started to curse in their hearts.
Come here at this time, it is clear that you are here to grab the business.
Prince Satnaser discussed with the people and said with a serious expression, "Just, we are confident that you will satisfy you in terms of price."
Unfortunately, the price is not what Li Changheng values the most, because for him, there is no difference between 1.8 and 2 US dollars.
What he wants is spot stock, and he must trade it before the end of April, before the tax declaration deadline.
Otherwise, tens of millions of dollars in taxes will be given to the Americans, and if these tens of millions of dollars are bought, the profit will be 4 times or 5 times in two and a half years.
And once the United States and England are in trouble, the US dollar and pounds are paper, oil is wealth and power.
In addition, once the US dollar and gold are decoupled this year, gold will rise sharply, and the desert tycoons do not need to unite. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Americans need a commodity to replace the link between gold and the US dollar, they will unite to negotiate conditions with the Americans.
Crude oil will definitely rise.
Even if the increase is not large, it only reaches US$3, it will still have a 50% return.
After thinking about it, Li Changheng thought that he still had 170 million US dollars in cash at UBS.
Looking at Anne who was deliberately following behind, she asked her to receive the Citi people first.
Then he pulled Prince Nasser to the side and whispered, "As long as you promise me to transport 100 million US dollars of crude oil to England for storage before April 25, the contract will be yours."
Nasser looked at Li Changheng incredibly, then asked happily and anxiously, "Where is the price?"
"How about you give me 7.5 million tons of lightweight low-sulfur crude oil?"
When Nasser heard this number, he immediately got blind.
A ton of high-quality crude oil is about 7.2 barrels, and the middle and lower quality is about 7.3 barrels.
This kind of arithmetic is just a few seconds to calculate in Li Changheng.
But for Nasser, he couldn't even calculate the paper and pen.
Li Changheng smiled and snapped his fingers at Harry Hart.
Soon five handheld calculations appeared in front of the rich.
Taking them back to the reception room, Li Changheng sat on the sofa with a smile and drank coffee.
After looking at UBS's Rand, Nasser and others calculating the price, they found that each barrel was 1.85,185, and they immediately frowned and hesitated.
This price is not the lowest, but it is also not high.
But facing an order of 100 million US dollars and 54 million barrels, and there are people outside who want to grab the business.
Nasser and others planned to accept the price without much hesitation.
But the time has been tightened when transported to London for a full 7.5 million tons of crude oil.
According to the fact that most Suez oil tankers at this time were at a level of 100,000 tons, if they wanted to complete the order, they had to use 75 large cruise ships.
Chapter completed!
