Chapter 221(1/2)
The quadrennial U.S. presidential election is about to be announced.
No matter who is elected, he is the president of the United States. No matter his origin, as long as he does some work that is beneficial to the people, he will hold a memorial service after his death, lower the flag at half a flag, and print it on the blue US dollar bills.
And the opponent will not be too disappointed. Both sides shake hands and make peace, congratulate each other, encourage each other, and celebrate each other with a cup of tea.
After entering the White House, political enemies can enter the cabinet and opponents can participate in politics. Party members of the two parties can be free to advance and retreat and communicate at any time. It is common for both party members to be of different origins. There is neither a life-and-death struggle nor a cruel and ruthless class struggle. You have me and I have you.
This is an American political game.
But for the capital market, it is extremely important to who can be elected president.
Just like on October 28, affected by the increase in Klee's votes, the price of nymex crude oil immediately fell below the $50/barrel mark, and many speculators took profits and sold crude oil futures contracts.
Immediately after Bu Ten's votes caught up, the international crude oil price immediately rose by several percentage points.
With this in and out, tens of billions of dollars worldwide were evaporated invisibly.
It's so scary!
At 7 a.m. local time on November 2, local time in the United States, the presidential election began, and voters successively stayed at various polling stations to vote.
There are 538 total electoral votes in the United States, and candidates will be elected if they receive more than 270 votes.
The number of votes is based on the seats occupied by each state in Congress. For example, California has the largest number of 53 members, so there are 53 Electoral College votes, and the smallest number of such as Alaska and Hawaii have only 3 votes.
For example, if most voters in California voted to become president, then the 53 votes in California will be considered to be the tenth, otherwise it will be Klee.
According to the latest statistical results, Bu Shi won 254 electoral votes and Kerry won 242.
The final voting results have not been announced yet include: Ohio (20 votes), Wisconsin (10 votes), New Mexico (5 votes), and Iowa (7 votes).
The whole world is watching.
In the Wells Futures Store on Fifth Avenue, Guan Qiu and Park Ruo were also watching live TV in the hall.
Live broadcaster No. 1 on TV said excitedly: [There are Ohio and Wisconsin now, and this is full of votes, so the Republicans still have a try. The current election situation is that the Republicans account for a lot of the Democratic Party, so the Democratic Party is very critical now.]
Live broadcaster No. 2 said: [Yes, they have already cheered another time just now, and they think that Bu is very likely to win Ohio. If he wins, he will be quite sure of this election...]
Park Ruo secretly glanced at Guan Qiu, and his expression... seemed to be smiling?
Guan Qiu caught her eyes and turned around and showed a big grin, "It's no big deal. Even if I lose, I can support you."
Park Ruo endured it, but still couldn't help it and said, "Do you think it's possible?"
Park Ruo means that it is impossible for him to raise him.
Guan Qiu said: "Everything is possible."
Park Ruo firmly said: "I said it's impossible."
Guan Qiu said: "Then let's make a bet..."
Park Ruo interrupted: "Don't bet."
Guan Qiu said: "You are afraid of losing."
Park Ruo raised his head proudly and didn't even look at him.
Guan Qiu stopped flirting with her.
Half an hour later, the statistics for Wisconsin came out, it was John Klee.
Now Kley's votes have become 252, only two left George Bull Ten's 254 votes.
Guan Qiu didn't know that this was the same in his previous life, so he was a little surprised, and Park Ruo frowned.
More than a dozen staff members in the hall were also talking, they supported Bu Shi.
The live broadcaster No. 1 on TV said excitedly: [If they lose the votes for the electorate in Ohio, they will basically fail.]
Live Streamer No. 1: [It's almost the same now, and most of it has come out, so everyone is very nervous now. If Ohio can win, this is a very big affirmation for Bush...]
Guan Qiu stood up and said, "Go!"
Park Ruo hesitated for a moment.
Now that Klee has a big winning side, those profit-making speculators will definitely start to give up. If you want to gamble, it is the best time to enter.
Of course, if John Klee becomes president, they will die miserably.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in funds are likely to be beaten by international speculators within a few minutes!
Guan Qiu took two steps and didn't hear the sound. When he turned around, he saw that the fearless domineering female president hesitated.
He didn't think so much, and walked straight to her, grabbed her hand and said, "Believe me!"
Park Ruo was led upstairs.
Live one step, die one step!
Bet, or not?
In fact, Guan Qiu has already made a decision for her, but she is considering whether to persuade her in the end?
Guan Qiu in front seemed to say to her, or to herself, "Some people say that 99% of the things in this world can be solved with money, but they didn't tell me that the remaining one percent requires more money.
Now that I know, I want to make enough money to solve any problems.”
Park Ruo struggled for a moment, but didn't break free, and said, "Any questions?"
Guan Qiu said firmly: "Yes!"
Park Ruo said: "Love is OK, too?"
Guan Qiu said without hesitation: "Yes!"
Before Park Ruo was about to refute, he said: "Money itself is part of strength! If there is no money, how can a person at the top of society like me have the opportunity to meet a rich and beautiful woman like you?"
Park Ruo disagreed, “Will you be very rich when I knew you?”
Guan Qiu said: "If I hadn't been shameless, would you have worked at 67.com? Do we have the opportunity to come to the United States? Have the opportunity to stand here to talk about these issues?"
Park Ruo wanted to refute it, but he didn't know where to refute it.
As Guan Qiu said, if he was still the little boss who started a black agency in Anlin Town, they would not have the chance to stand together on New York land today.
Guan Qiu just spoke casually, and accidentally said too much and quickly stopped.
I happened to arrive at the door of the operating room upstairs, and the conflict in concept was quickly thrown out by them and they were involved in the intense crude oil futures trading.
...
...
In 2004, local time in the United States, 12:10 am.
Live broadcaster No. 1 was shouting at the top of his lungs: [We see that so far, Buffet has won Florida, Klee has won Pennsylvania, and Ohio is as important as Florida in 2000.]
Live Streamer No. 2: [I think this may be a little different from last time, that is, Klee must win Ohio to become president, and Bree may lose Ohio. If Klee cannot win Ohio, its chances of winning will be very small.]
Live Streaming No. 1: [The election situation has reached the last and most critical point. Now the most critical thing is Ohio. I have also hired an election research expert on my left...]
Countless pairs of eyes around the world are watching the live broadcast of the US presidential election on TV.
The stock exchanges on Wall Street, the New York Bank Building, the **** Building, the Manhattan Trust Bank Building, the Xinfu Bank Building, the Deutsche Bank Building, the Citibank Building, etc., countless financial tycoons are watching.
No one dares to guarantee that Blau Shi will be re-elected as the 55th President of the United States, nor do they dare to guarantee that Klee will not become president.
So no one went to bet at this time, including those famous Wall Street tycoons, such as stock god Buffett, financial tycoon Soros, Wall Street wolf king Carl Icahn, hedge fund godfather Leo, and quantitative investment father Simmons, who did not take action.
It’s not that I dare not, but that I don’t need it.
In addition to taking off that halo, they are still investors, and the interests of their customers are paramount. They all maintain restraint on such very betful things.
At this moment someone took action!
"Someone is doing longs in big deals!"
"All oil-related short orders are swept away!"
“5000 hands…”
“10,000 hands…”
“20,000 hands…”
“30,000 hands…”
Everyone was stunned by this crazy scene.
This is a real big bet.
Just bet on ten times as elected president.
This is definitely a fucking lunatic.
The futures market is not a one-time transaction.
Keep the green mountains there and you will not have to worry about burning firewood.
There is no need to be elected president by all the money you have to spend all your money.
Do you want to jump to the Empire State Building if you lose?
