The Kyoto Bubble Era: Starting from the Sale of Hundreds of Millions of Properties

Chapter 198 The Wisdom of an Oligarch

Across the bulletproof door, Kitahara Sosuke could hear the sudden uproar and doubts in the hall.

Today is the first day of the war. Oil prices have continued to rise all the way. Why did they start to fall an hour before the market closed for no apparent reason.

Of course, there are occasional declines. Such shocks are very easy for long and short people to exit the market, but it only fell by 0.3 meters of gold per barrel, a decline of about 1%. It is not playing with a hundred times leverage, and there is no need to worry about instant Liquidate.

This is just a technical adjustment!
I believe that many people's minds are echoing such words.

"Hey, President, am I dazzled? The oil price seems to have dropped a little bit compared to just now." Fujiwara Norika was also staring at the scrolling screen. Since it is a short sale, naturally it is best to enter the market near the highest point, according to the With the previous increase, she suspects that there is no peak in oil prices at all.

During the war, the price rose to a terrifying 60 meters of gold per barrel, which is uncertain!

But just now, she clearly saw the number jump, and then fell!
"You read that right, it dropped by 0.3 meters per barrel." Kitahara Sosuke smiled as if he was relieved.

It is estimated that countless people's hearts are fluctuating with the rise and fall of oil prices at this moment. No one wants to see oil prices start to fall at this time, but Kitahara Sosuke feels relieved after seeing this scene.

At least the historical process has not deviated too far, otherwise he should seriously consider whether to short oil.

Sometimes people are like this. Even if one thing is almost 100% certain, when the investment amount is too large for him to bear the risk of failure, he will always be extremely cautious and confirm it again and again.

In the current futures hall, many American businessmen are close together, looking at the scrolling screen and muttering "up" in their hearts, while Kitahara Sosuke, who is sitting in the VIP room, is making plans with Victoria. Cooperation matters, while shouting "falling and falling" in my heart.

The last hour before the close is a torment, and every minute and every second that passes by, every change in the price of WTI crude oil futures is frightening.

In the half an hour after the price fell to 38.9 meters gold per barrel, the oil price began to go up and down again and again, sometimes rising and sometimes falling, but the fluctuations were very slight, but the overall trend was obviously going down.

Finally, the closing time was approaching, and the oil price reached a lower 38.7 meters gold per barrel for the first time. At this time, Kitahara Sosuke was almost sure that there were no unexpected fluctuations in the timeline.

Compared with the 35 meters gold per barrel when the leverage was discussed before, the oil price still rose considerably, but the oil price dropped suddenly on the first day of the war, which was similar to the stock price drop that Kitahara Sosuke saw on the day of the Japanese stock market Daihatsu!

History is always strikingly similar, it depends on whether you have noticed something from it.

It's a pity that people always know it later.

The only lessons humanity has learned from history is that humanity has learned no lessons.

Closing time is up!
The price of oil reached 38.6 meters per barrel in Sosuke Kitahara's memory as scheduled!

Exactly!

He let out a sigh of relief, and immediately asked the somewhat dazed Fujiwara Norika to find Romon.

Twelve times leverage, stud 13.3 billion meters gold!
After that, it is time to pay close attention to whether the course of the Gulf War is different from the historical process in memory.

As long as there is a slight change, Kitahara Sosuke will immediately forcibly close the position and stop work. You can make a little less money, but you must not lose money.

After a while, Norika Fujiwara walked over with a hurrying Romon. Along with him was a middle-aged fat man with blue eyes and black hair, a tall white police officer, and Vic could be vaguely seen shrinking his head behind them. Doria.

At this time, she had changed into a long beige dress, looking cute and innocent, not at all like the Miss Arms who rushed into the futures trading company with a gun just now.

Kitahara Sosuke got up and looked at Romon. Before the latter had time to introduce, a middle-aged fat man in a blue suit came over and stretched out his hand with a silly smile: "Mr. Kitahara Sosuke, hello, I am Aman Friedman, I am sorry that my daughter surprised you today."

He is Aman Friedman!
Kitahara Sosuke vaguely remembered seeing photos of the oligarchs. Among them, the old man who died the earliest and the one who jumped the most had the best relationship with Yeltsin, and the so-called "Godfather of the Kremlin" was the easiest to identify.

He only remembered that Friedman was fat, and he didn't know anything else.

"Hello, Mr. Friedman, it's an honor to meet you." Kitahara Sosuke smiled and shook hands with him.

"This is Officer Harward, Chief of the Seattle City Police Department. It is really helpless for Victoria to do such a stupid thing." Aman Friedman smiled wryly, and introduced Kitahara Sosuke graciously The white police officer.

The arrogance of the white man in Howard was very obvious, he just nodded slightly to Kitahara Sosuke, and sat aside in silence.

Today, Victoria broke into the futures trading company with a gun. This matter is not big or small. Fortunately, no casualties were caused. Her mother’s family only covers the sky in Seattle, so such small things can naturally be handled easily. .

It's just that Victoria's Omi mixed blood will inevitably make Americans think more.

After confirming the situation here, Howard found a reason and left alone. He obeyed the mayor, and the relationship between the mayor and Victoria's mother was very good. Even if he wanted to fuck this Omi mixed-race girl , There is no reason or opportunity.

After Howard left, Oman took her daughter and forced her to apologize to Kitahara Sosuke. Victoria looked reluctant and secretly glanced at Kitahara Sosuke, as if reminding him of his afternoon appointment.

Oman seemed to be a very kind person, without the slightest airs of a rich man. After asking about the loss of George Futures Trading Company, he immediately took a check to pay the compensation.

Sitting in the trading room, several people couldn't help chatting about the crude oil futures that had just closed. Romon was obviously extremely surprised by the sudden drop in oil prices, and even said it was unbelievable several times, but Oman had a calm face, as if aware of it. inner problem.

Kitahara Sosuke also keenly captured a lot of useful information from this naive middle-aged fat man.

He does not leak water in his dealings with others, and the more careful he is, the more difficult he is to deal with.

She speaks clearly and logically, which is obviously different from her daughter who does things a little less thoughtfully.

Kitahara Sosuke thinks that a woman who can run a big family should not be a fool. Could it be that Victoria is a genetic mutation?

"I heard that Mr. Beiyuan is a bank president?" Aman suddenly changed the subject.

Kitahara Sosuke was stunned for a moment, and looked at Luo Meng, who had an innocent face, saying that he had not disclosed his private information to the other party.

"Yes, but it's just an agent of the branch manager of a branch." Kitahara Sosuke nodded.

"That's great. You are an experienced banking elite. You should have some experience with financial holding groups, right? Now my hometown is still prevalent in the unreasonable mechanism of state-owned banks occupying the largest market share, but I believe it will be reformed soon. , it would be great if they could learn from Japan’s advanced main bank system.”

Aman sighed,

"I personally think that the main bank system is a very perfect holding system."

For consortiums, that's true.

Kitahara Sosuke silently recited these words in his heart.

People who like this system are either part of the system, or those who intend to rise into a consortium.

Only in this way can the system of banks and general trading companies be combined to form the perfect embryonic form of the consortium.

He glanced at Aman and asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Aman very interested in the banking industry?"

"Haha, when I was young, I served as a similar branch manager at Sberbank, and I also know something about it. I have always hoped to exchange ideas with Japanese banking elites. This time I finally have the opportunity."

Aman is unbelievably attentive, he really wants to understand Japan's main banking system and the composition of consortiums, but his words are amazingly good, if Kitahara Sosuke has the memory of a time traveler, he really wouldn't think too much about it.

He appears to be just a studious, intellectually curious ex-finance practitioner.

Victoria in these technical terms seemed a little sleepy. She yawned, looked at Fujiwara Norika, and then smiled and took out the pistol strapped to her thigh under her skirt to scare her.

Fujiwara Norika was amused by her, and somehow felt that this girl was cute.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Victoria leaned over to chat with her.

Here, Sosuke Kitahara and Aman exchanged a lot of experience, and Aman gained a lot. He said with a smile: "It's a pity that I can't continue to work in the bank."

"Haha, Mr. Aman, your knowledge and ability are enough to start a financial holding group by yourself." Kitahara Sosuke complimented.

"Mr. Beiyuan is also very good!" Aman smiled politely at him, and then seemed to mention something intentionally or unintentionally, "We are planning to go back to our hometown to see our relatives in the near future. If there is a chance, I really want to try to establish a financial holding group. I even thought about my name, but unfortunately, I am a native of the United States now, and I am not welcomed by people in the Soviet Union."

"Oh? I'm quite interested in the name you think of." Kitahara Sosuke was shocked. Going home to visit relatives before the collapse of the Soviet Union?It's too coincidental.

If it weren't for being a time traveler, Oman's words can be said to have no loopholes.

"Haha, how about Alpha? The first letter of the Greek letter is very meaningful." Oman said with a smile, "Speaking of which, is Mr. Kitahara here to intervene in the crude oil market this time?"

"Well, what do Mr. Aman think about the crude oil market this time?" Kitahara Sosuke nodded with a deeper smile, "Alpha, a great name!"

"Short!" Aman said without hesitation, "I think it should be short. If Mr. Kitahara hasn't opened a position yet, you can consider my proposal. It's a pity that I don't have enough funds to short this wave. No matter how the Gulf War is fought, I believe the US government will not watch the price of oil soar."

"But the soaring oil price is a good thing for the U.S. government, right? The allies hope to make more money by doing more this time, and the Soviet Union is watching. Will the U.S. government still follow the Soviet Union's policy?" Kitahara Sosuke pretended to be skeptical.

Oman gave him a meaningful look, and said with a smile: "Of course, under normal circumstances, the United States and the Soviet Union will definitely stand in different camps. The allies are all doing more. It is not surprising that the United States regulates the rise in oil prices. But if the Soviet Union does not Will they make a move? In fact, I have many friends who are still in the Soviet Union. It is strange that none of them came to intervene in the oil market for such a good opportunity. Seeing the drop in oil prices today, I am even more skeptical. In the end, only the people of the Allies participated in this transaction, so what will happen?"

What he said was actually very explicit.

The implication is to persuade Kitahara Sosuke to go short.

No matter what Aman's intentions are, Kitahara Sosuke still agrees with his words.

And he should know some details about the disintegration of the Soviet Union, so he rushed back to Russia in such a hurry, there was no trick, he didn't believe it!

"Haha, of course these are just my personal guesses, Mr. Beiyuan just listen to it casually." Aman changed the subject and changed the topic again.

At the end of the chat, Aman kindly invited Kitahara Sosuke to have dinner together, but he refused.

However, Victoria, who had a ulterior motive, stayed on the grounds that she wanted to apologize to Sosuke Kitahara.

As soon as Aman left, only Kitahara Sosuke and the other five were left in the VIP room.

This time, Kazuma Yamada was prepared, able to restrain Victoria at any time, and prevent her from hurting Sosuke Kitahara.

And Victoria looked at Kitahara Sosuke eagerly, as if expecting something.
