Han Xuan thought the old man's words had a profound meaning, but after careful observation of his expression, he realized that it was not, but just said it casually.

Old Man Han didn't know what the tragedy would happen in more than a year, but Han Xuan knew that he had not taken this seriously before. From the current height, the incident that happened in his previous life became no longer simple in his eyes.

Just like the police suspected a murder case, they usually suspect the person who could make the most profit from the case, the horrific attack in their previous life, combined with the successful establishment of the EU, the surge in oil prices, global energy tensions, and the recent large-scale review of Wall Street, etc., Han Xuan found a target of suspicion - the United States!

Yes, the power to get the greatest benefit is the United States. From what happened in the previous life, it can be seen that the United States entered the Middle East under the banner of revenge and directly obtained the right to speak in the world's oil market. Oil and the US dollar are directly linked to the US dollar. Most of the oil transactions in the world are settled through the US dollar, further increasing the monopoly position of the US dollar.

In addition, it has also gained a strategic position in the Middle East and realized political, economic, military and other aspects of interests. Oil merchants and arms merchants have made a fortune, and many financial tycoons have also made a fortune.

If you think about this idea, Han Xuan felt a cold sweat on his back. This is a big game that directly affects the whole world, so big that it is beyond his imagination. Then he thinks of a "homework" given to him recently, about the "homework" that in-depth discussion of the importance of oil to the United States, he feels that things are not as simple as before.

After drinking a sip of water, calm down, and found that he seemed to know the extraordinary secret, the plan that Bitra Volta told him was even more serious!

Mr. Han looked at him with a strange look and asked, "What's wrong with you? I feel uncomfortable?"

"...Hmm." Han Xuan suddenly asked his grandfather a question: "How is the decoration of the Spiral Building?"

"It's almost done, some floors are already being renovated."

"oh."

Han Xuan felt that if the goals were important buildings with symbolic significance, then the building in his home would be very safe. It was far from the World Trade Center Twin Towers. He had always been worried that the Spiral Building would become a target, but now he thought that the possibility was very small.

I began to believe in my own judgment, consider all factors, and from the perspective of interests, I already thought that it was a big drama directed and acted by myself!

When the old man saw that his grandson was absent-minded, he became even more worried and asked again: "Do you want me to go and find a doctor for you?"

He shook his head quickly and Han Xuan said, "If you guess correctly, the oil price will rise.

You wait a moment, I'll make a phone call. I've spent a lot of money recently and I have to earn money."

It was completely unknown, so Mr. Han couldn't figure out where his grandson was from and saw that oil prices would rise. In his opinion, there was no problem with the conversation just now.

Turn on the computer and search for the recent oil transaction price trend chart. It rose by 5.6% in just one week. It made Han Xuan’s toothache. A few days ago, he thought that the oil price would rise recently, but forgot for a while, and the "loss" was billions of dollars.

If you don’t make money, of course, even if you lose it, the futures market can invest tens of billions of dollars through leverage and can turn into tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars. In this way, 5.6% is an astronomical figure.

Fortunately, it was not too late. Han Xuan took out his cell phone and called Mr. Hamilton of Star Investment. After saying hello and greetings, he asked, "Hamilton, are you still in the company now?"

"No...I'm on vacation, little boss.

It happened to be my wife’s birthday, so I brought her to Las Vegas. Is there anything wrong?"

Mr. Hamilton felt a little guilty, like an employee who was skipping work and was caught by the boss, and said: "I live in the Venetian Casino Hotel. The environment here is so beautiful and there are so many customers. I can't even find free slot machines. It was a wise decision to acquire this casino hotel!"

How could it be that he was flattering? Han Xuan smiled and said, "That only means that the number of slot machines in the casino is not enough.

Okay, I really have something to come to you. I hope to make some noise in the international crude oil market. According to the situation, oil prices will rise all the time recently. The current price is 28.5 US dollars per barrel. We have missed a good opportunity, and the rest must not be missed.

When arranging people to eat crude oil futures, it is best to keep the price within 29.5 US dollars, eat as much as you want, and not make a profit of more than 20%. Don’t say in front of me that you are investing in the future!”

Mr. Hamilton on the other end of the phone was one of the first old employees to enter Interstellar Investment. He had long seen Han Xuan’s “willful investment”. Even though he was knowledgeable, he couldn’t help but feel that the boss had a problem with his head. The crude oil futures market with hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars actually said how much he had eaten?

I didn't think there was anything wrong with investing in crude oil. At this moment, I replied: "When the crude oil price fell to ten dollars, we ate some futures, and the total amount was about two billion dollars, which brought a lot of returns.

Do you really want to buy a lot? The price of crude oil is already very high now, and I am worried about huge risks."

Star Investment is Han Xuan’s family office. The only goal is to help Han Xuan manage private assets and make this part of the funds more. As long as it is a financial field that can make money, it is normal to invest in crude oil without it.

"That's right. Listen to me. The more you buy, the better. Can't the funds we have in our hands affect crude oil futures trading?"

Han Xuan asked back, his words were extremely domineering.

As he said, judging from the current funding scale of Star Investment and Han Charity Foundation, no matter which financial investment field you enter, you will become a giant and have some of your voice.

There are many factors that affect oil prices. Weather, production capacity, demand, etc. can cause oil prices to fluctuate significantly, but behind these fluctuations is the most important factor.

Then he said, "They are trying to push up crude oil prices, so we will also participate. If I don't expect it to be wrong, the oil price in half a year will probably reach about forty dollars per barrel.

I have already told you the opportunity, so I will go and operate it as soon as possible. I hope to earn some pocket money at the beginning of next year to make up for my recent losses..."

The world's three major crude oil futures are the West Texas light oil futures contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the high-sulfur crude oil futures contract, and the North Sea Brent crude oil futures contract on the London International Exchange.

In the early 1970s, world oil demand grew rapidly and oil shortage began to emerge. In 1973, the Arab-Israel War broke out, and Arab oil-producing countries imposed an oil embargo on the United States. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries OPEC took advantage of this opportunity to raise the oil price level from two to three dollars per barrel to nineteen dollars!

As a result, OPEC replaced multinational oil companies and became the controller of oil prices and crude oil production. OPEC official prices became the benchmark for oil pricing. In recent years, the traditional official price system has no longer reflected the complex and changeable price changes after the impact of oil. More oil traders have shifted from fixed long-term contracts with prices to spot market transactions.

In other words, oil, like other commodities on the market, such as gold, began to be sold to the public at the price they were purchased by customers.

This is also a money-making trick created by capitalists. What is hurt is those poor oil-poor countries. The high and low oil prices depend on the market price at that time. The organization sets the price and cannot buy it if it is not willing to buy it.

Some oil-rich countries in the Middle East have only become rich since the 1970s. Oil is produced from the ground and the production cost is not high, but it can bring a lot of money.

In the past, Han Xuan rarely got involved in the crude oil futures trading market. After all, this era is full of gold, and there are opportunities to make money, which leads to the closure of news and missed the good opportunity for oil prices to fall below ten dollars.

The last time Qatar came, this allowed oil to re-enter the sight of South Korea. The oil and gas fields he invested in in Siberia were mainly natural gas, and he missed the previous good opportunity, but he did not plan to miss the later ones.

European and American countries such as the United States have holidays during Christmas and New Year, and crude oil trading markets in other regions are not available for holidays, but the lack of the New York Stock Exchange and the London International Commodity Exchange in the UK has also dropped a lot.

The holiday is about to be celebrated. After several days of rising, the price of crude oil futures has already shown a downward trend. However, on the New York Stock Exchange, mysterious funds suddenly appeared and they were placing orders frantically!

Someone wanted to try the waters and bid out a contract worth a billion, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Many people were confused and couldn't understand what was going on. They took orders of billions of dollars in a few minutes, and their strength was terrible!

Today is Wednesday.

The on-site trading hours of the New York Mercantile Exchange are Monday to Friday, starting from around 8 a.m. and ending at 1:30 p.m.

Electronic trading has only been in place for a few years. The trading hours are from 2pm to 3pm every Monday to Thursday, until 8am the next morning, Friday is from 2pm to 5pm, and Sunday is from 6pm to 8am on Monday.

The reason why such a strange trading time is set is that in order to match the customs of the Middle East oil-producing countries, it is Judaism to close early on Friday and not trade on Saturdays.

When it comes to ride-sharing, no one is better than Han Xuan. Every time he sees the intentions of certain interest groups, he always likes to go in and mix with them. Unless the other party gives up, he can only take him to play with him, make a fortune from it and leave quickly.

Because he has credibility and will not harm his teammates at will, those people will also bring him along. For example, Soros, who was involved in the Mexican currency crisis, called him to plan to short the copper price and the Southeast Asian financial crisis.

When someone discovered that the funds were pouring out from a shell company under Star Investment, many people from all over the world covered their heads and sighed: "What should be come, and they don't even let go of crude oil futures..."
