In the midsummer of August, the weather in California belongs to the Mediterranean climate, with warm sun and gentle wind.

In Williams Manor, Caesar and Diana rode a black and a white noble pony for a slow walk on the farm. The black pony that Caesar rode was produced in England and belonged to the Shetland pony; the white pony that Diana rode was produced in China and belonged to the Debao pony. The most famous pony in the world is Shetland pony in England and Debao pony in China. Because the number of pony is rare, it is very precious. It can be said that it is the treasure of horses, and it is worth hundreds of thousands. It has become a symbol of nobility!

The height of these two pony horses is under 90cm, and Caesar and Diana rode them just right. For the sake of safety, a servant was arranged to pull the horse rope to prevent accidents.

Henry stood in front with his company's Williams camera, taking pictures of Caesar and Diana, while Ulysses watched.

Both Little Caesar and Little Diana were dressed in riding suits and helmets, looking both cute and heroic.

"Smile and pose!"

Henry shouted at them, the two children are now more than one year old, can already speak, and can understand Henry's words, and immediately made a scissors hand gesture.

With the improvement of the aesthetic level and the progress of ideas, the scissorhands have already made people feel aesthetically tired and feel a little boring. But the appearance of Caesar and Diana made Henry feel extremely cute!

After taking a few photos, Henry stepped forward, kissed each of their faces, and asked, "Do you like your ponies?"

"I like it!" Caesar and Diana answered in unison, childishly.

"Since you like it, then give your horse a name yourself!"

"it is good!!!"

The two children began to discuss what to name their pony.

At this time, the phone rang, and Henry looked at the number, and it was a call from Karina.

"Honey, what can I do for you?"

"Well..." Kailinna said, "Our funds have been completely cashed out from the Japanese stock market. According to the statistics of Weifeng Capital, we have made a total of nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars! Now, I have arranged manpower to prepare for speculation." Crude oil futures! Honey, how much do you think we need to invest in it?"

Henry thought for a moment and said, "Invest $100 billion and use 100 times leverage!!!"

After Henry finished speaking, Kailinna's voice didn't come out from the phone for a long time, she seemed to be shocked!

After a while, Kailinna took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure it's 100 times leverage? You have to know, in this way, it is equivalent to us using 100,000 US dollars to speculate in crude oil futures. This is a big deal." Huge gamble!"

"Yes, I know!" Henry knew the future oil rally well.

At the beginning of 2003, the international crude oil price will exceed 30 US dollars per barrel, and then, there will be no turning back.

In September 2004, affected by the Iraq War, the international crude oil price broke through 40 USD/barrel again, then continued to rise, and broke through 50 USD for the first time. Then it broke $60/barrel and accelerated forward.

In August 2005, Mexico suffered from Hurricane Katrina, and the international crude oil price broke through 70 US dollars per barrel for the first time.

On September 12, 2007, the international crude oil price broke through 80 US dollars per barrel for the first time, and then continued to accelerate its entry into the market.

On October 18, 2007, the international crude oil price broke through 90 USD/barrel for the first time, and approached 100 USD/barrel at the end of the year!

In 2008, international crude oil prices soared sharply. On July 14, the price of crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange hit a record high of 147.27 US dollars per barrel.

Henry paused, and continued: "The delivery time of our crude oil futures contract is set on August 31, 2005!"

After finishing speaking, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of Henry's mouth. Hurricane Katrina is a natural and man-made disaster, and no one expected it to come so fast! The hurricane swept through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, causing catastrophic damage, causing at least $75 billion in economic losses, making it the most destructive hurricane in U.S. history, and killing no less than 1,836 people .

At this time, more than one-third of the oil fields near the Gulf of Mexico were forced to close. Seven oil refineries and an important U.S. crude oil export facility also had to temporarily suspend operations. The price of crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange soared by $4.67 per barrel when it opened on August 29, reaching as high as $70.8! Until September 2, the International Energy Agency announced that all 26 member states agreed to put 2 million barrels of crude oil in the strategic reserve on the market every day for 30 days to help resolve the market tension caused by Hurricane Katrina . Crude oil futures prices in the New York market fell sharply on the same day.

Therefore, the delivery time of the crude oil futures contract is stuck at the time point of August 31, so naturally you can earn the most! ! !

And the reason why he didn't continue to fry, Henry was actually deliberate. 100 billion US dollars is already a huge figure, and then using 100 times leverage will inevitably cause large fluctuations in international crude oil prices. It is not difficult to imagine that by August 31, 2005, the international crude oil price will definitely be much higher than in the previous life, or it may break through 100 US dollars per barrel! And after making a fortune, counting the time, it is almost time to launch an electric car. At that time, the international crude oil price may plummet! Therefore, after earning another handful, there is no need to take risks anymore!

"Okay, whatever you say!" Kailinna said, "Oh, by the way, there is another thing. Soros is going to ask me if I want to jointly attack Asian countries. I don't think it's appropriate, so directly Refused!

Unlike Soros, who is a pure financial capitalist, we have many physical companies and products. I believe that Asia will be an extremely huge market in the future. If we brazenly launch a financial war against it, the local countries and people will hate us, and our products may not be able to sell in the future! ! ! "

"You're right!" Henry nodded, and said, "Not to mention whether launching a financial war will be successful, even if it is successful, it's still picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon! This time, I have no choice but to target Japan In short, who made them our enemies! Naturally, we will not show mercy to our enemies!"

Come on, hurt each other!

Japan's Mitsui and Mitsubishi consortiums have suffered a lot now, losing hundreds of billions of dollars, and it has also affected the whole of Japan, leading to a sharp drop in the international competitiveness of Japanese products and causing a relatively long-term negative impact. Japan is in a mess now. There are millions of unemployed people in the country, and the economy is in a downturn. Many people can't afford to eat, and they all rely on the relief of the Japanese government. A year ago, Japan's GDP could reach more than US$3 trillion, ranking second in the world. But since this year, Japan's GDP has plummeted, and I am afraid that within a few years, it will miss the top three! ! !
