While Luo Jiu was still happy that he could make friends with Jie Run's senior representative, Bill was also excited that he could make friends with Luo like this fool.

Because Luo Jiu thought he was lucky, Bill was happy that this Chinese fool had just gotten into a trap so easily.

You should know that before they came into contact with this guy, they had studied this guy for a long time. Goldman Sachs never fought unprepared wars. Every time they planned to cheat someone or an institution, their preliminary research ability is world-famous.

In recent years, due to the good economic environment in the United States, Goldman Sachs has won consecutive victories in China, but most of them are just sharing cakes with Wall Street's giants.

In the overseas market, it is Citi's strength, which makes Goldman Sachs feel very dissatisfied. They feel that they must also actively expand overseas markets.

However, they entered the mainland China a little late, and because of their special relationship with the US government, they are always not very at ease with the largest market in Asia and dare not devote themselves to it. After all, if they annoy each other, they can handle them in a minute with just one word. After all, it is their home court.

So they thought of places like Xiangjiang and Singapore, which are mainly Chinese, and many mainland Chinese officials and enterprises have placed their overseas outposts in these places, which gives Goldman Sachs a lot of opportunities to contact them.

These suckers in China are quite easy to cheat, especially Goldman Sachs is very familiar with the operating mechanism of the Chinese official system. It is a group of pure bureaucrats. Even if they are cheated overseas, they dare not speak out at home, and they can only bow their heads and suffer in silence.

Those who can write about losing streaks and retreat and fight are only driven out by these bureaucrats.

So in recent years, they have been looking for a suitable surrender in China. Not to mention, they have found a lot of them, such as the listing of xxx Bank in Xiangjiang. They have become one of the main securities companies.

With their super low pricing, they made a lot of money from these suckers and became one of the major shareholders of a sucker bank.

Later, many American investment banks also came to take advantage of the situation, but they were so tired that they were full of energy.

The reason why I targeted Luo Jiu this time was because I had been studying it for a long time with his chief Huahang Oil.

This is a fatal black hole, but unfortunately the Chinese people haven't noticed it yet, and Na Luo Jiu was so stupid that he regarded himself as a financial genius. If he doesn't cheat such a sucker, who will he cheat?

So next, at the beginning, Bill Houston went to meet Luo Jiu very unexpectedly, and the two soon became good friends.

It was mid-year in 2003. The United States had just understood the fist against Iraq, and the Second Gulf War was in full swing.

However, unlike the First Gulf War, this time the Americans seemed to win more easily. Last time, they used a beautiful left hook to knock down Saddam's National Guard. This time, it was basically very relaxed, and no uppercut was useless. With just a few easy jabs, Saddam was beaten up all over the floor.

The National Guard is simply vulnerable, and the Iraqi people who have been criticized by international sanctions have long lost confidence in a guy like Saddam.

Originally, the leader who integrates politics and religion, but you are fucking, your son will be terrified of white horror, and you only know how to be greedy for money and lust, so why do you ask others to work hard for you?

Therefore, the British and American coalition forces can be said to be a thousand miles a day on the battlefield in Iraq, and soon reached Fallujah. It was here that they took a little effort and then they soon came directly to Baghdad.

As a person who is engaged in oil, Luo Jiu is of course very sensitive to this Iraq War.

After all, Iraq itself is a major oil-producing country, and the purpose of the United States launching this Gulf War is quite clear, which is to more firmly control oil in the Middle East.

The reason why Americans do this is because they have two purposes. The first is to tighten the reins on China's neck. After all, China has now become the second largest oil importer in the world after the United States. And according to their current development trend, they will become the world's largest oil importer in less than a few years.

So for the sake of future plans, Americans must certainly control the oil fields in the Middle East in their palms. The second purpose is to teach the EU a lesson and let them understand that it is impossible for the euro to replace the US dollar.

The reason why Americans were able to become world hegemons for a long time is because of their petrodollar system. After World War II, after the collapse of the Breton Deep Forest system, which was linked to gold and the US dollar, the petrodollar system became the mainstream later, and the US dollar could still become the world currency, relying on the law of direct linkage between oil and the US dollar.

As for Saddam, a grandson who has been sanctioned by the United States for ten years, if you are more honest, the Americans may let you take a breath. Unfortunately, this old guy became unhonest when he saw Laden blowing up the princes in the United States.

He actually started to get along with France and Germany in the EU, and said he wanted to link the oil produced in Iraq to the euro. This was a bare-slap in the face, which was a serious provocation to the world monetary system of the US dollar.

What's even more damn is the Europeans who actually agreed, secretly lifted the Iraqi no-fly zone and sent a lot of divisions to meet Saddam.

Uncle Sam is famous for not rubbing sand in his eyes. How could he see this? He turned his back on the spot.

In a word, you have hidden weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Don’t say anything, die!

So the Second Gulf War was born, and almost all people around the world knew what this war was for.

As soon as the United States attacked Iraq, the world's crude oil price immediately rose all the way like a rocket. After all, everyone knows that Iraq is an oil-producing power, and the second is that this war takes place in the world's largest oil-producing region.

Iraq's old neighbor is Iran, which is also a major oil-producing country that has always been inconsistent with the United States. Who knows whether the Americans will destroy Iran by taking advantage of it?

So the world's crude oil price suddenly surged from 25 US dollars per barrel before the war to 35 US dollars per barrel, which was originally something that many people could guess.

Luo Jiu also made a fortune from this surge, so he became more concerned about the impact of this war on oil prices.

Just when he and Na Bill were inquiring about the future trend of the oil price and whether there was any news with Goldman Sachs, Bill was here to drug him and pour water on him.

People told him directly that the oil price will definitely drop, so don’t worry!

You see, if Iraq resists fiercely and the US military is not going well, there is almost no doubt that the oil price will rise. However, now the Iraqi army is a group of mobs, and it is just a situation where we have contact with the United States Army of the United States, and it is about to collapse at once. The war will not last for a few days.

Iraq is sure to lose, and once the US military captures Baghdad and overthrows the Saddam government, it means the end of the war. Our large American oil companies have mastered those oil fields. How can there be any reason for the oil price not to drop?

You should know that after the war started, oil prices soared, which seriously damaged the real economy of the United States. In this situation, the American people will not endure it.

So as long as the war is over, don’t worry, the oil price will be reduced even if it does not drop. If it does not drop, the American people will not agree.

Bill's analysis of the private goods incorporating it really fooled Luo Jiu, the idiot. Then he thought that this is indeed the truth.

You should know that the vitality of the US real economy is closely related to the price of oil. You should know that the United States is a country that claims to be growing on wheels. People have to rely on cars when entering and leaving, and using cars, they have to burn oil.

So if the Americans win the war, wouldn’t they give the people some sweetness and put some water on oil prices?

So, in the long run, the oil price will definitely drop, and it must be dropped.

This is Luo Jiu's analysis, so under the encouragement of Na Bill, he withdraws a sum of funds from the company and starts shorting oil on the market.

At the beginning, they just tried their best, shorting 2 million barrels. At this time, Goldman Sachs, a market maker, began to quietly enter the game, and they sat on the betting platform opposite Luo Jiu and his China Airlines Oil. Unfortunately, this fool didn't know anything about it.

When every bet is just beginning, in order to let the fools get into the trap, they will shear wool for them, and of course they will give the fools some sweetness to taste.

So in the second half of 2003, Luo Jiu shorted 2 million barrels of crude oil futures, not only did he not lose money, but also brought him and China Airlines oil a profit of US$5.8 million.

Luo Jiu, who had tasted the sweetness, began to become even more bold. He made 5.8 million yuan in just 2 million barrels. What if he shorted 20 million barrels?

And they can say that as long as you invest enough, they can give you a larger leverage. Wouldn’t you make more money then?
