If a conflict breaks out in the Gulf, oil will be affected first, and if the situation escalates even slightly, an oil crisis could erupt.

The third oil crisis is coming, bringing unprecedented wealth; it remains to be seen who can capitalize on it.

Xing Baohua still likes to pay the bill as always. Now that oil prices are at their lowest, he feels that he can make the most money even if the price fluctuates by one yuan. Anyway, his margin is enough to hold the price at one or two yuan, which is only one or two thousand points.

Even if prices drop further, the oil-producing regions in the desert wouldn't be happy; oil can't be as cheap as water.

The partners and friends that Xing Baohua gathered all had positions in the financial sector, and all of these departments were transferred to Xing Baohua's side for unified deployment.

These people have nearly four thousand scattered accounts.

Unfortunately, Mitsui Fujisaburo was killed by himself. Otherwise, he alone could have pulled in a considerable amount of funds and accounts from the Japanese.

Fortunately, there's still Old Sun.

Old Sun needs to meet with them privately and use a large sum of money from the π Group to operate. He also needs to do this without alerting the shareholders.

When the ship returned to the Hong Kong pier in the early hours of the morning, the waiting reporters began taking pictures again.

Everyone wanted to interview someone, but security held them back, so they just watched as the people disembarked, got into their cars, and left.

Xing Baohua was the last to leave, and he waved goodbye as he watched the flashing lights go off.

The next day, major newspapers published articles about Xing Baohua inviting partners, shareholders, and friends to celebrate New Year's Day with a party.

They were all men, successful people, except for one woman, who was a strong, independent woman.

You think you can gather a bunch of elites for a party? Who would believe that? It's more like a major conference!

When other people throw a party, they invite handsome men and beautiful women, celebrities and supermodels. And you, a bunch of grown men, are you dancing on a boat?

Because the funds and profits are so enormous, no one dares to leak the news. Despite signing confidentiality agreements, if any of these participants wanted to release information, it would be impossible to trace who leaked it.

Xing Baohua was also aware of the nature of Haina's employees.

This time, some people went to Singapore, some went to JD.com, and some went to Daying and Sweden.

Singapore is an oil transshipment and trading hub, where one-fifth of the world's oil transactions are completed.

One-tenth of the spot goods are also traded here.

No matter how Xing Baohua mobilizes his manpower, some people in the company still need to be used. According to the analysis of the media and some knowledgeable experts, Haina, which has been targeted, is likely to be involved in the oil industry.

Because the teams Xing Baohua sent out all had a large oil trading center and many futures traders.

After waiting for a while, rumors spread that Xing Baohua might be getting into the oil industry. The source of the news is unknown. Anyway, those Hong Kong residents who wanted to jump on the bandwagon were a bit stunned.

I was wondering why Xing Baohua didn't trade stocks or foreign exchange, but instead traded oil futures and options?

Most people weren't interested because they all knew that oil prices wouldn't increase in the short term.

Around the end of January 1990, Xing Baohua spent all 30 billion US dollars on order placement.

The $30 billion purchase gradually raised oil prices by about 80 cents per liter.

That's equivalent to 80 points. But according to insider information from Haina, Haina's main force only invested 3 billion US dollars, yet it managed to drive up the price by 80 points?

Xing Baohua certainly didn't do this alone; there were others who attended the meetings as well. So, they started looking up information on those who attended the meetings. It was easy to investigate people in Hong Kong. After some investigation, they learned that Xing Baohua had amassed a total of about 13 billion US dollars.

This immediately made many people feel that Xing Baohua was going to be the one to manipulate the market?

Just kidding. If he were to become the chairman, he wouldn't even consider whether Western countries would agree to it. Their hairs are thicker than his.

It may seem like a lot, but when it comes to the market there, it's not even worth mentioning.

Some individuals and institutions refrained from following the trend, while others copied the approach and bought in, investing hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan. They simply left the money there until it matured, also for a one-year term.

The financial newspaper published a few articles about people who followed suit. They couldn't explain why they did it, but they said only one thing: "Just follow Boss Xing. If he wins, I win too. If he loses, I lose too."

They even kindly published the purchase price and contract dates.

I bought at 80 points higher than Xing Baohua. Fortunately, it wasn't a short-term trade, and 80 points is nothing in the long run.

Following the reports, many people who believed that Xing Baohua had created a financial miracle bought his shares.

Many agencies are overwhelmed with orders, even though the individual orders are small, the volume is huge.

These retail investors in Hong Kong have once again driven up oil prices by 20 cents.

Someone called Xing Baohua, saying that many people had followed suit. Should we investigate who leaked it?

“We’ve already signed all the deals, so it doesn’t matter. The market is so big, with hundreds of billions or trillions in trading volume. Do we care about a little money in Hong Kong? Let them follow along. As long as they don’t play the short-term game, they’ll basically all make money,” Xing Baohua told the person on the phone.

The orders have already been placed, so you can't go back on your word. Going back would incur hefty penalties, plus bank transfer fees, exchange rate differences, and so on, resulting in significant losses.

At this point, it's best to ignore everything, just wait for the contract to expire, collect the money, and be done with it.

But Xing Baohua still wanted to create a smokescreen. So many people were watching Xing Baohua's operations. If he didn't analyze the market and just made some moves, when he made a big profit, everyone would ask, "How did he know?"

The war came suddenly, without anyone knowing. How did Xing Baohua find out? Was he a deity?

Do you think the Americans should investigate this thoroughly?
