"Are you kidding me?"

Raymond is now the head of Plutos' tens of billions of assets, and Daniel has rarely done this kind of stock market speculation recently, and he has not been in touch with his old business for a while. This time, if it weren't for the opportunity, and the new investment in MGM and dd animation, Daniel also owed a lot of debt. Although there is no problem of insufficient funds for the operation of the entire system, it is definitely what he is willing to do to ease the debt pressure.

For Daniel's "mother-in-law", the experienced Raymond is really puzzled.

He didn't know if Daniel was joking, or if he really thought it was not good to make a fortune in disaster.

In fact, for the speculative work that Raymond has done before, hurricanes, wars, Hainan, oil spills, economic crises, etc., all kinds of disasters that may make a large number of people want to jump off the building, he made a fortune good opportunity. He started this job right from the Asian Financial Crisis in the mid-1990s, and his qualifications are not very deep, which is why Daniel was able to hire him as his investment manager in the first place - the price is not high! However, it is clear that this young low-level employee who previously worked at Goldman Sachs is quite talented and is now on an equal footing with Goldman Sachs.

"Okay, I know it's kind of like 'crocodile tears,' but thinking about the people who might lose their homes, their loved ones, their lives in a hurricane, it always feels like we're taking advantage of it. Even, if we want to Earn more and expect more hurricanes.”

"Oh," Raymond stopped typing, "you've gone to Africa and it seems you've become more emotional. Daniel, you should know, no matter what you and I think. Hurricanes will or will happen, ours Will doesn't have any effect on it. Then any consequences of it have nothing to do with us. We are just investing. We see that the price of crude oil can fluctuate, so I put billions of dollars in it- - Even though I have absolutely no idea how to take the risk of doing this. But I decided to trust you, after all, you've always been right. Well, can you analyze it with me? I really want to know, if say 2003 The Iraq war, you have inside information. So this time, do you have a connection with God? Why do you believe that the hurricane will have such a huge impact on oil producing areas and refineries?”

"It's going to wreak havoc in the Gulf of Mexico, and the oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico are vital to the United States, and the hurricane center said it had an alarming wind scale." Daniel saw Raymond look at himself disapprovingly. If he heard this answer, he wouldn't believe it, and shrugged his shoulders, "Well, I actually dreamed it. You know I dreamed about 911."

"This is real?"

Raymond was stunned, "You really only took the measures now because you dreamed of this disaster?"

"Yeah, wayward isn't it? But my intuition helped me a lot."

"Uh--"

Raymond didn't know what to say, after 9/11. Daniel was confirmed to have had a hunch, and kept it in his private article, plus an interview with "". Most people believe that Daniel received the oracle at that moment. However, the group of scientists believes that this so-called prediction is extremely coincidental. People often have some ideas or so-called "predictions", but very few of them will become reality. Generally speaking, predictions that do not come true are unknown, and occasionally a blind cat hits a dead mouse, and it will be widely reported.

Therefore, this in itself did not cause him much trouble-of course, Daniel is now on the list in many spiritual inventory.

As Daniel expected. The hurricane ravaged the Gulf of Mexico, shutting down half of the oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico. Seven major refineries and a key oil transshipment facility were forced to close.

On August 29, the price of crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange opened sharply higher.

Raymond was trading at $65.8 a barrel a few days ago. Buying 20 million barrels - it's not that he can't raise more property, but this time is completely different from the Iraq war. If Daniel buys too much, it may hinder this wave of gains. In half a day, a barrel rose by $4.67. When Raymond rose to $4, he sold his backhand and went short.

On the 31st, the President announced the use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and the price of crude oil fell in response - but the decline was limited, and the oil reserve needs to be made up. As long as the supply remains unchanged, the greater the demand, the higher the price, which is for sure. Therefore, it is still the mainstream to buy up, but it does not exceed the price of Raymond's sold short orders on the 29th. After a wave of impulse rises, it still ushered in a decline after all.

But until September 2, the International Energy Agency announced that the 26 member states had unanimously agreed to put 2 million barrels per day of strategic oil reserves on the market for a month to ease a possible demand crisis. This completely destroyed capital's confidence in crude oil prices, and crude oil prices fell on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Raymond immediately bought and closed the short order.

It took 5 days for this transaction to obtain nearly 400 million net income for Plutos, and Raymond could not help but breathe a sigh of relief after doing everything.

Daniel didn't stay here all the time, everything was led by Raymond. After this operation was over today, he came here on purpose. Now that he saw Raymond's strength, he couldn't help laughing at him, "Raymond, obviously You don't have what it takes to do this work, tsk, money and a comfortable life have corrupted your will."

Of course, the only thing in exchange was a blank eye from Raymond.

"Seriously, Daniel, if you have any dreams in the future, be sure to tell me, like the financial crisis or something."

"Haha, do you really think it's because of a dream that I raised more than a billion dollars to do this? I'm not crazy, and I don't need to bet crazy~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Daniel can't make himself a magician, at least he can't take it seriously, although he is not too worried that he will be caught and investigated. After all, in the United States, unless a billionaire kills himself, it is really difficult for any agency Lock up research in secret - this is a country built on dollars and millionaires, and no one will allow that to happen.

"The hurricane center is trustworthy, and obviously, whether it's Louisiana or Mississippi, or even Alabama, Florida, there is actually no complete hurricane emergency plan, and once it does as the hurricane center said, this is a record hurricane. , the impact and destructive power that can be imagined. And -- oil prices, are always susceptible to manipulation."

All words are less powerful than the last sentence.

Raymond understands how dirty the deal behind money and oil is, and it is entirely within reason for oligarchs to use this as an opportunity to manipulate the stock market and grab wealth, if Daniel gets inside information, knows someone is doing it, and even knows when the president is Announcing the use of strategic reserves, knowing when the International Energy Agency announces an expansion of supply - then it is only natural to be able to accurately grasp the timing of entry and exit.

It's just that if everything is as he thought, then Daniel's connection with the American political and business circles is probably far beyond his imagination. (To be continued)
