Even though Feng Yu, his team, and Soros' team simultaneously raised crude oil prices, the prices continued to fluctuate and never rose in a straight line.
The ideal trade is to buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high. But this is just an ideal. No one can do this in short-term rapid fluctuations, not even with more convenient and faster electronic transactions.
Because you don't know when there will suddenly be a large amount of selling or when there will suddenly be a large amount of buying. Therefore, at this time, some price needs to be paid to ensure that the price of crude oil rises amid fluctuations.
This can also attract more people to enter, attract more funds to enter, and allow these funds to invest according to their intentions, at least maintaining this trend.
Among them, there will be losses in some contracts, which is also the price they have to pay.
Of course, compared to their profits, these are not problems at all. The question is whether the other party will carry out the oral agreement.
For example, if Soros knew that Feng Yu's investment amount was so high, then they would not have spent this large amount of money at all, but would have just bought it all up. Anyway, Feng Yu would definitely raise the price of crude oil.
Just like Feng Yu did this during the Asian financial crisis. Watching Soros lead some people to sell short, Feng Yu followed and made money, and the profit margin was even higher than Soros.
Fortunately, Feng Yu plans to speculate in the long term this time, so Feng Yu is not worried about some small fluctuations. He will wait until a price he thinks is appropriate before delivering all contracts.
According to Feng Yu's memory in his previous life, the price of crude oil has risen to nearly 150 US dollars per barrel, nearly tripling. Even twice the leverage can give them more than five times the profit.
However, there is still a big difference between theory and actual operation, especially because there are too many uncertainties in futures. Once a certain piece of news changes, the price may change.
And once the rise is too strong, it will inevitably lead to intervention from various countries. For example, major crude oil importing countries such as the United States and China will never sit back and watch crude oil surge. This is not in the interest of their countries.
But which investors’ interests are in this way? The greater the price difference, the higher their profits. The reverse plunge in crude oil prices in the previous life also had the shadow of some state funds.
The lower the price of crude oil, the more countries that import crude oil will save money.
Of course, there are many factors that contributed to the rise in crude oil prices in the previous life, and these are all variables.
Moreover, futures contracts generally have time limits, which are divided into one month, three months, one year, etc., and the contract will be forced to be liquidated at a fixed time. Of course, you can also make delivery at this time. Re-buying is equivalent to moving the position, and then you can also expand the contract month.
During this period, if the price fluctuates greatly, you will not be able to earn this profit, so even if you plan to speculate in the long term, the profit will definitely not be that high.
The price of crude oil returned to fifty-five US dollars/barrel again, and Feng Yu's contract once again made a profit. Of course, the better news is that Kirilenko's part of the contract can also be delivered, and all the capital is recovered. As for the profits still obtained, it belongs to Feng Yu.

Wang Zhenhua, a financial broker in Xiangjiang, has benefited from the good global economic situation in the past two years, and he has made a lot of money helping his clients invest.
But he has a dream, that is, to work for one of the world's top investment institutions like Fengyu Consulting, which will not only improve his technical level, but also allow him to earn more.
Who doesn’t know that the brokers at Fengyu Consulting have extremely high commissions, and their year-end bonuses make many people’s eyes red with envy.
Fengyu Consulting has been recruiting new agents as the scale of its capital grows and some agents choose to retire after making enough money.
Wang Zhenhua went for an interview once, but was rejected during the simulated operation. The interviewer commented that he was greedy for credit and had a weak theory of analyzing the situation, which could easily cause huge losses to clients.
Wang Zhenhua was very unconvinced, but when he submitted his resume again, Fengyu Consulting did not even give him an interview opportunity.
He could only join a small securities company and provide investment and financial management for some small customers. In the past two years, his bold operations have allowed him to make a lot of money for his clients, and he is now the gold medal broker of this securities company.
His investment method is to collect information from various exchanges and follow the trends of big investment institutions, especially Fengyu Consulting.
A few days ago, he saw Fengyu Consulting constantly buying and selling crude oil futures contracts, which made him realize that crude oil futures may have large price changes, which would represent a large amount of profits.
Immediately afterwards, a financial program with Fengyu Consulting's general manager He Zhaoji as a guest was broadcast on TV, saying that he was optimistic that crude oil prices would rise.
But at this time, Wang Zhenhua didn't buy it. He was afraid that this was false news. Financial experts on TV often did this. His former master also told false news in newspapers to make profits.
But soon after, Fu Rongqi, Professor Liang and others also appeared on this show and also predicted that the price of crude oil would rise. Only then did he really make up his mind to buy crude oil and the price would rise.
By this time, the price of crude oil futures had risen to US$54/barrel.
But just like this, Wang Zhenhua believes that the price of crude oil futures will continue to rise, and the rhythm has been set. More people like him will buy crude oil futures contracts, causing the price to continue to rise.
Since the price is definitely going to rise, it’s better to take the opportunity to make more money.
So Wang Zhenhua used the company to operate with 20 times leverage, that is, he only paid a 5% margin to purchase the contract.
The next day, the price of crude oil rose by one dollar. Wang Zhenhua was overjoyed. Sure enough, his bet was right.
Although it only increased by about one dollar, he was operating with twenty times leverage, which was equivalent to an increase of twenty dollars. In one day, he helped his clients earn one-third of the profit!
So some customers came here because of his reputation and chose to hand over their funds to him.
But this time, as soon as he bought the contract, he found that the price of crude oil began to fall, from US$55 to US$53, which made Wang Zhenhua feel a little nervous.
The next day, the price of crude oil continued to fall. He immediately called the customer and asked for a margin call, but the customer still had money.
Many clients who are handed over to brokers basically don't understand this. They only know how to hand over their money to the broker, and then let the broker operate it. After making money, they just give some commission to the broker.
They don’t understand, how can they lose all their principal if they only drop a few dollars? What is forced liquidation? I've already given you all the money, why do you need me to take it out
Wang Zhenhua fell down on his chair. He was finished. He lost everything because of his greed for success.
Conspiracy, this must be the conspiracy of Fengyu Consulting. They are nominally bullish, but in fact the operation is short selling. He must have been tricked!
Two days later, the price of crude oil futures rose again, but Wang Zhenhua no longer had the money to operate. In order to avoid those investors, he ran to a friend's house in the countryside to hide.
Seeing the news on TV saying that the price of crude oil was rising, his mouth was filled with bitterness.
