After tensions rose between Iraq and Kuwait, everyone thought oil prices would go up, so people rushed to buy crude oil futures. And the price of crude oil did indeed rise starting at the end of July, just like Nie Zhan had said.
Zong Shimeng called Lu Jiaxin and said, "Jiaxin, oil went up again today. I've already bought two million greenbacks worth, aren't you going to buy?"
Crude oil kept rising like gold did years ago, so she watched eagerly and invested all her liquid capital.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I want to buy now but can't anymore."
Buying three to five million doesn't make sense, but you can't buy much more. Everyone knows oil will rise, so many people have entered the market, making it hard to buy later. Fortunately, Nie Zhan listened to advice and bought one hundred million greenbacks of crude oil futures and made a decent profit.
Zong Shimeng felt a bit regretful.
