"In short, that's the situation. I don't know who we've offended, but someone is constantly blocking the approval of our new projects. Everyone here is going crazy!" Little Swift said to Hao Jianguo with a dejected expression.
After receiving President Huang's order, Hao Jianguo was very dedicated. The next day, he arrived at Western Mustang Company to see what trouble Little Swift was facing.
Speaking of which, Hao Jianguo had quite a deep connection with Western Mustang Company. When Hao Jianguo first joined Jiangnan Group, he was stationed at Western Mustang Company. Later, when BL
What truly made the Western Mustang Fund earn a lot of money was its subsequent oil futures trading. Because in the past six months, the price of oil futures had risen from $30 a barrel at the beginning of 2005 to the current $49 a barrel, almost doubling the market price.
And this was not a sharp increase in a short period, but a steady, step-by-step climb. In the past six months, the price of oil futures fluctuated, and after every rise, there would be a period of sharp decline.
At its most perilous, the closing price was $40 yesterday, but a week later it dropped to $26, and another week later it rose to $41. In any case, the price of the entire oil futures market was like a human heart monitor, making everyone's heart strain.
But throughout this entire process, Little Swift sat there as steady as Mount Tai, making no moves with the oil he held, simply maintaining his position.
He even confidently accepted interviews in various public forums, stating that he believed the price of oil would reach around $60 a barrel by the end of 2005, and that oil prices even had a 50% chance of breaking the sky-high price of $100 in the future.
Therefore, he was determined to stick to his convictions and absolutely would not sell his oil futures unless it was for fund settlement.
It was precisely this clear stance, along with the market's development validating Little Swift's predictions, that completely won over people in the industry.
It is not scary for someone to earn huge profits through occasional intense and risky operations; such people will gain wealth quickly but could lose everything overnight, as one cannot rely on luck forever.
However, if someone can see through the overall market trend and hold onto their chips with unimaginable steadfastness, without any wavering, then that person can be called a god of finance. Therefore, Little Swift's title as a god of finance was now solidified.
Of course, no one knew that Little Swift had privately contacted President Huang more than once, fearfully asking if they should quickly exit to secure profits or cut losses due to the sharp rise or fall in the oil futures market that day.
But each time, President Huang would directly scold Little Swift fiercely and tell him that if he dared to sell a single barrel of oil without his explicit order, he would be fired immediately and would no longer be allowed to stay at Western Mustang Fund.
Only then did Little Swift persevere, and eventually, it was August of this year, with the third phase of fund settlement approaching. And this time, Little Swift, or rather the President Huang behind him, intended to create a novel and interesting little venture.
It was as if someone was secretly working against our poor President Huang, as this interesting little venture could never pass the review of the US financial authorities.
As a last resort, Little Swift had to seek help from Hao Jianguo. After all, although Little Swift was honored as the Black God of Finance, he was utterly useless in social situations and had no social connections whatsoever. Thus, they had to rely on Hao Jianguo, whose recent work had been outstanding, successfully resolving numerous issues and greatly pleasing President Huang, to step in and resolve the problem.
