Even with Feng Yu's team and Soros's team pushing up the crude oil price, the price will fluctuate and will not rise in a straight line.
The ideal deal is to buy at a low price and sell at a high price. But this is only an ideal deal. No one can achieve this in a short period of rapid fluctuations. Even the more convenient electronic transactions are not possible.
Because you simply did not know when a large sum of money would suddenly be sold, and when a large sum of money would suddenly be bought. That's why the investors must pay a price to ensure the crude oil price rises.
This way, more people will be attracted to enter, and more funds will be attracted. Moreover, these funds will be invested according to their intentions. At least this trend will be maintained.
Some contracts will be damaged, and this is the price the investors must pay.
Of course, compared to the investors' profits, this is not a problem. The problem is if the other party will follow the verbal agreement.
For example, if Soros knows that Feng Yu's investment is so high, he will not take out a large sum of money. He will bet on the price rising. Anyway, Feng Yu will surely push up the crude oil price.
This is what Feng Yu did during the Asian Financial Crisis. Soros led a group of people to sell short, and Feng Yu followed and made money. Feng Yu's profits are even higher than Soros's.
Luckily, Feng Yu plans to invest in the long term, and Feng Yu is not worried about some small fluctuations. He will wait for a suitable price before settling all the contracts.
Based on Feng Yu's previous life's memory, the crude oil price had risen to nearly 150 USD per barrel, which is almost three times. Even with double the leverage, the investors will get more than five times the profits.
But there is a big difference between theory and practice. Futures trading has too many uncertainties. Once there is a change in one piece of information, the price will also change.
Also, if the price rises too fast, the rest of the countries will intervene. For example, the US, Hua Xia, and other big importers will not sit back and watch the crude oil price rise. This is not in the interest of their countries.
But this is in the interest of their investors. The higher the price difference, the higher their profits. In Feng Yu's previous life, the reverse plunge of crude oil prices is also due to the intervention of some countries.
The lower the price of crude oil, the more they, as big importers of crude oil, save money.
Of course, there were many other factors that contributed to the rise of crude oil prices in his previous life. These were all variables.
Furthermore, futures contracts generally had time limits. They were divided into one month, three months, one year, and so on. Furthermore, they would be forced to close out the contract at a fixed time. Of course, you could also settle and buy again at this time, which was equivalent to moving your position. Then, you could also extend the contract months.
During this period of time, if the price fluctuates too much, then you won't be able to earn this profit. So even if you plan to speculate in the long run, the profit will definitely not be that high.
The price of crude oil returned to 55 USD per barrel, and Feng Yu's contract is profitable again. Of course, the better news was that Kirilenko's part of the contract could also be canceled. He got back all his capital, and as for the profits, it belonged to Feng Yu.

Wang Zhenhua is a financial broker in Hong Kong. These two years, the global economy is doing well, and he had made a lot of money from helping clients invest.
But Wang Zhenhua has a dream. He wants to work for a top investment firm like Wind & Rain Consulting. Not only he can improve his skills, but he can also make more money.
Who doesn't know about Wind and Rain Consulting's brokers? All of them get high commissions, and their year-end bonuses make many people jealous.
Wind & Rain Consulting's funds had increased, and some brokers had made enough money and chose to retire. That's why they are hiring new brokers.
Wang Zhenhua had gone for an interview once, but he was rejected during the simulation. The interviewer's comment on him is that he is greedy, and his analysis of the situation is weak. This will cause huge losses to his clients.
Wang Zhenhua is unhappy, but when he submitted his resume again, Wind & Rain Consulting did not even give him a chance for an interview.
Wang Zhenhua can only join a small securities firm to help some small clients with their investments. These two years, Wang Zhenhua had made a lot of money for his clients, and he is now one of the best brokers in this securities firm.
Wang Zhenhua's investment method is to go to all kinds of exchanges to gather information and follow the trend of those big investment firms, especially Wind & Rain Consulting.
A few days ago, Wang Zhenhua saw Wind & Rain Consulting buying and selling crude oil futures contracts non-stop. Wang Zhenhua realized that crude oil prices might change drastically, and that means high profits.
After that, the TV showed Wind & Rain Consulting's General Manager He Zhaoji as a guest on a financial program. He predicted that crude oil prices will rise.
But Wang Zhenhua did not buy it. He is afraid that this is fake news. Those financial experts on TV often do this, and his mentor had also reported fake news in the papers.
But soon, Fu Rongqi, Professor Liang, and the rest also appeared on this program. They also predicted crude oil prices will rise, and Wang Zhenhua decided to buy crude oil prices.
At this time, crude oil prices had risen to 54 USD per barrel.
But because of this, Wang Zhenhua believed that the price of crude oil futures would continue to rise. The pace had been set and there would be more people like him buying crude oil futures contracts, causing the price to continue to rise.
Since the prices will rise, Wang Zhenhua might as well make more money.
So, Wang Zhenhua used 20 times leverage through his company. That means he only needs to pay 5% of the margin to buy the contracts.
The next day, crude oil prices increased by 1 USD. Wang Zhenhua was overjoyed.
Although it was only 1 USD, Wang Zhenhua had used 20 times leverage, and it is equivalent to an increase of 20 USD. Within one day, he had helped his clients to earn a third of their profits!
So, some clients who came to Wang Zhenhua chose to let him handle their funds.
But this time, when Wang Zhenhua bought the contracts, the crude oil prices started to fall from 55 USD to 53 USD. Wang Zhenhua's heart skipped a beat.
The next day, crude oil prices continued to fall, and Wang Zhenhua immediately called his clients to ask for more margin. But his clients do not have any money left.
Many clients who let their brokers handle their funds do not know about this. They only know to let their brokers handle their funds, and after they make some profits, they will give their brokers some commission.
They do not understand. It was only a few USD drop. How can they lose all their money? What is forced liquidation? I had already given you all my money. Why do you still want me to take out my money?
Wang Zhenhua fell back into his chair. He was finished. He had lost everything because he had been greedy and rash.
This must be Wind & Rain Consulting's scheme. They had claimed to be buying crude oil, but they were selling short. Wang Zhenhua must have been fooled!
Two days later, crude oil prices rose again. But Wang Zhenhua did not have any money left. To avoid those investors, he went to a friend's house in the countryside.
Wang Zhenhua felt bitter when he saw the TV talking about crude oil prices rising.
