Li Muchen frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. He knew that this decision was related to the fate of the entire team, so he had to consider it carefully.
At this moment, Zhang Ming spoke up. "Mr. Li, I think we can find a compromise. We can reduce our positions in some contracts and lock in some profits. At the same time, we can continue to monitor the situation and increase our positions if war really breaks out."
Li Muchen listened to Zhang Ming's words and nodded. "That's a good idea. We can't put all our eggs in one basket. We need to learn to diversify the risks."
After the meeting, the team members began to adjust their positions according to Li Muchen's instructions. Li Muchen continued to closely monitor the situation in the two countries, waiting for the outbreak of war.
August 2nd finally arrived. On this day, the whole world seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the actions of the two countries.
Li Muchen arrived at the office early, feeling nervous and expectant.
He sat at his desk, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, which displayed the real-time price of oil futures.
As time passed, Li Muchen's heartbeat became faster and faster.
He didn't know whether war would actually break out, nor did he know whether his judgment was correct.
Just when he was feeling anxious, suddenly, a news pop-up appeared on the computer screen.
The headline read: "Conflict breaks out between two countries, war is imminent!"
Li Muchen felt ecstatic, he knew his judgment was correct.
As he had predicted, oil futures prices began to rise rapidly. He immediately picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Ming's number.
"Zhang Ming, the war has broken out. According to our plan, increase your holdings at the right time." Li Muchen's voice was full of excitement and decisiveness.
Zhang Ming immediately took action after receiving the call, directing his traders to quickly buy more WTI oil futures contracts.
When the oil futures price in Li Muchen's hands seemed to be injected with powerful momentum and climbed all the way from 14.8 to 16.7, this number seemed like a shining light, illuminating the decision-making path in his mind.
His mind was full of thoughts. On the one hand, he knew clearly that the price of oil futures might continue to rise in the future, which meant that greater wealth was beckoning him; on the other hand, a voice kept echoing in his mind: "Quit while you're ahead, don't let greed blind your eyes." Li Muchen frowned slightly, and a conflicted expression appeared on his face.
He sighed softly, stood up, and paced slowly around the office. Each step seemed weighted with thought, his leather shoes making a soft sound on the soft carpet. He walked to the French window and looked out at the bustling city view, feeling a surge of emotion.
"I have already made considerable profits in this game. I cannot take risks out of greed." Li Muchen said to himself, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the office door. "Come in." Li Muchen's voice was steady and powerful.
The door slowly opened, and his right-hand man Zhang Ming walked in. Zhang Ming's face was filled with anticipation. He looked at Li Muchen and asked, "Mr. Li, oil futures prices are still rising. Should we continue to hold on?"
Li Muchen was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "No, Zhang Ming. We will sell now."
Zhang Ming was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise on his face. "Mr. Li, wouldn't it be a shame to sell now? The price might continue to rise."
Li Muchen shook his head and looked at Zhang Ming. "I know the price may go up, but we can't be swayed by greed. In the business world, knowing when to stop is the true wisdom."
