Vol 6 Chapter 375: 1 oil 2 eats
The cucumber worthy of Boss Feng's repeated review is naturally not an ordinary cucumber.
The gherkin, whose name is Swiss Re, is a landmark in the financial district of London.
It has appeared many times in "Detective Charlotte", that is, the all-glass curtain wall, which looks like an upright and elongated football, and also looks like a fat and stupid version of cucumber.
It is 180m high, has 40 floors and a total area of about 64,500 square meters. It is known as one of the greatest buildings on the streets of London in the 21st century. Companies including Swiss Re, Sky News, and Standard Life are all tenants of this building. .
"That building, I know," Li Ruiyuan didn't seem unfamiliar with the most independent and special building in London's financial district. "It should have been resold once in 2006."
"It seems to be sold to an investment bank? I don't remember the specific name clearly, but the price should be 600 million pounds."
"Do you really want to buy it, Mr. Feng? Then I can find out now," Li Ruiyuan became excited again.
For a financial practitioner like him, if his company can use the most famous landmark in the City of London as its own office building, it is naturally a very fulfilling thing.
That is probably equivalent to a soldier who has won the highest-level medal, an athlete won a gold medal at the Olympics, and an actor has won the same honor as the best actor award in the four major international film festivals.
"Yes, I am very interested now," Feng Yiping said.
Buffett said that when others are afraid, be greedy.
It is a good choice to start such a real estate project when most people do not dare to buy a home, or are unable to buy a home.
But the main reason is that he hopes to increase his actions in the London futures market in the future.
He said that the City of London is a good place, not only because the City of London will bring him huge wealth this time, but also because the City of London has some unique advantages.
For example, in terms of crude oil futures, the trading volume of London Brent crude oil is actually lower than the trading volume of West Texas crude oil in the United States. However, Brent crude oil futures adopts both physical delivery and support. Compliant delivery methods that support cash delivery.
This is in line with Feng Yiping's need to quickly cash out through crude oil futures. Otherwise, would it be possible to turn that oil up and become a second trader?
Dear, our oil has good quality and low sulfur content. Do you want to ship it or transport it by pipeline? ...
He has no interest in the result of speculating crude oil futures and becoming the oil king.
At the same time, West Texas crude oil is highly localized because it is only priced against domestic crude oil, while Brent crude oil covers the world’s major oil-producing countries and regions, including Northwest Europe, the North Sea, the Mediterranean, Africa, and Yemen. Pricing is more representative, so the former has begun to gradually withdraw from the stage of history.
Therefore, it is best for him to do crude oil futures in London.
For Feng Yiping, to start a company in such a first-tier city, he has always believed that instead of renting a place to work, it is better to buy it, and instead of buying it, it is better to build it yourself...
But considering the difficulty and cycle of self-building here, as well as the return on rent, he feels that buying one is a very good choice.
"But you can put it away beforehand," he said.
"Yes, according to what you said, the hardest day has yet to come, and that is, the prices of these properties can fall again," Li Ruiyuan said.
However, he glanced at the cucumber in the wind and rain, hehe, you will be mine sooner or later... Wait, is there something wrong with this?
Yes, I am not a woman, so there is absolutely no need to desire cucumbers so much...
"Your main job at the moment is to take a good grasp of the market," Feng Yiping said. "The Hong Kong side, according to our plan, routinely absorb those stocks that we are optimistic about. Funds work in the US. You can command it remotely,"
"I understand, I understand," Li Ruiyuan thought about the income this year, his heart was fiery, "such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must not make any mistakes in the second half,"
"It's just Mr. Feng. I think it's a pity. In this year's situation, we should also speculate on futures," said Li Ruiyuan.
The reason why he said this is because this year from the United States to Europe, the stock market is falling, which is very suitable for short selling.
For example, in Europe, from July last year to the present, the stock market in Germany and France has fallen by more than 20%, while the current decline in the UK stock market is also close to 20%.
"Mr. Li, we still have to be cautious about futures," Feng Yiping said.
He also knows that shorting the stock index, once the bet is right, it is also a big profit, but he is not clear about the specific trend in that area.
The reason why he chose to do crude oil futures is because he clearly remembers that from the second half of last year to June this year, crude oil prices have been rising.
However, in the stock market, if it is specific to the day, it is very common to have repetitions, while stock index futures have no restrictions on fluctuations, and they are settled every day. Therefore, you may lose all your investment and previous earnings in one day. A fine light.
"The more such a risky project, the more stability we demand,"
"Oh, I'm sorry Feng, I was a little too excited," Li Ruiyuan quickly calmed down when Feng Yiping spoke carefully.
Although he also enjoys the thrill of success at the moment, he knows that he has achieved these achievements because of whom.
"Think about the incident at the Industrial Bank at the beginning of the year, and think about the incident at the Barings Bank earlier. In your position, you cannot tolerate any willfulness." Feng Yiping felt that he should appropriately cool Li Ruiyuan. "You know, I The most important thing is that all your actions follow instructions."
Li Ruiyuan thought of meeting Feng Yiping for the first time. Feng Yiping emphasized this point at the time.
"Sorry, I won't..."
"I can understand what you think," Feng Yiping stopped, "It's just that you have to know, and I can't have a correct grasp of everything."
"Therefore, the stock index does contain great profit opportunities, but we only do what we are sure of,"
Nor can he throw out his pot of fire all at once.
Li Ruiyuan really became more energetic again. He looked around. At this time, except for Owen and they were following nearby, there was no one around, "Next, how should we go?"
Feng Yiping also looked around. The rain was not heavy and the wind was not weak. At this time, there were not many people interested in strolling along the Thames, and they were all far away.
"Now you can consider short selling crude oil in August and beyond,"
"August?" Although Li Ruiyuan knows that according to Feng Yiping, crude oil prices will fall after July, he has been short since August. "So, from August on ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ linear decrease?"
Because he knew that if there were repetitions during this period, Feng Yiping would definitely not advise him to do so.
But you must know that at present, many experts are saying that crude oil is not a problem at 200 dollars a barrel.
"In July, it will drop after the high point. By August, I am sure that the downward trend will be obvious," Feng Yiping said.
Li Ruiyuan naturally did not question this time, "When can I go short?"
"I judge, it shouldn't be a problem to be short until the end of the year,"
He said so surely because he remembered clearly that it took more than four years for crude oil to rise from US$50 in 2004 to nearly US$150 in 2008.
Correspondingly, it went from nearly 150 dollars to 50 dollars, but it only took more than four months.
"How about the market at the end of the year?" Li Ruiyuan asked.
"It's about 50, which is close to the original level,"
Feng Yiping was still a little bit emotional. Li Ruiyuan fell into ecstasy again. The beautiful money scene made him feel a little hot, and he felt like a fire was burning in his chest.
"Isn't that, the profit is greater?" His words trembled.
Think about it. Next, when the crude oil price is between 120 and 140 US dollars, borrow it and sell it for cash. When it reaches 50 US dollars, it is bought and repaid. Isn't this borrowing and repayment, a barrel has an average profit of 80 US dollars?
Facing the cold wind blowing in his face, he couldn't help but want to roar.
This will not only anger Gates, this is the rhythm that can anger Gates and Buffett together!
It turns out that the best thing in the world is to eat two oils.
"Calm, calm," Feng Yiping patted his shoulder, "Also, do you know the person in charge of Deutsche Bank in the financial district? Please make an appointment for me."
