Chapter 273: You're Smart

"Because there is likely to be a major correction in oil prices—"

Zheng Jianguo looked at him as if he really didn't know the reason for closing the position, so he looked at six people, including Ignatius Brosnaan, and opened his mouth to analyze this reason: "Now the news media are saying that the price of oil is too high, but people can't afford to drive the cars they buy.

As a result, the demand for buying cars has decreased, and then the cars made by car companies cannot be sold, so they can only choose to lay off employees in order to reduce costs.

On the other hand, high oil prices have led to an increase in logistics costs, and the manufacturing costs of manufacturing enterprises have risen, along with an increase in sales prices.

As a result, the consumption capacity of the market is further reduced, and this is also the purpose of people looking for new energy.

This is normal, because no one knows that batteries made of atomic-scale graphite layers have the ability to improve the utilization of electrical energy.

And if the results of this study are published, it will easily be taken seriously by countries, because a $1 electricity bill can be worth hundreds of dollars of gasoline.

This is a much-needed gimmick in all countries, or indeed by the current government, in order to lower oil prices and reduce inflation and unemployment.

They don't care if this technology can appear in a short period of time, they just want people who are optimistic about oil to close their positions after learning about the performance of atomic-scale graphite layer batteries, as Mr. Ignatius did—"

"Alright then, I'll listen to you! Anyway, this money is made with you—"

Thinking of Zheng Jianguo's performance, Bruce didn't think long before making a decision, in fact, if it wasn't for the fact that he had invested so much money at that time, he wouldn't have risked so much money at all: "Then what else do you plan to invest in?"

"Yes, I still buy oil contracts, but I used to use high leverage to buy long, and I can buy short after closing the position in the past two days, but this time point needs to be operated-"

Repeating the negative impact on high oil prices on TV and newspaper broadcasts, Zheng Jianguo didn't expect Bruce to be similar to himself before, thinking that only by buying more could he make money.

However, after Zheng Jianguo considered buying short, he found that things were not as simple as he thought: "I wonder if Mr. Ignatius has the relationship between letting the performance of atomic-level graphite layer battery cars reach the ears of some people?"

"It's hard to say—"

Ignatius Brosnaan blinked at Zheng Jianguo's gaze, of course what he said was nonsense, just like his reaction when he heard the performance of this battery car before, as long as he is interested in the car, I am afraid that no one will not pay attention to this kind of performance of the car.

However, Ignatius Brosner had other thoughts in mind: "Bruce, your investment is with Zheng?"

"I told you a long time ago—"

This thought flashed through his mind, but Bruce nodded with a smile: "I didn't tell you last time, because after all, Zheng and I have a little interest involved, and I went through the procedures for him to come to the United States at that time——"

"Oh, that's okay, as long as your investment is separated, it's fine, after all, although Zheng said that it will rise, but he can't control the futures market, in this case, he may also lose-"

Ignatius Brosnaan nodded expressionlessly, and Bruce then laughed: "That's for sure, although we are looking for the same broker, but the accounts are separated, now Zheng feels that the oil contract will be adjusted, if you have a little spare money, you can also make some pocket money, I am very optimistic about his analysis of the market——"

"Oh, I'll talk about this later~"

Ignatius Brosnaan shook his head noncommittally, then looked at the watch on his wrist, then stood up and said: "Bruce, I still have some things, I won't sit down today, we'll see you tomorrow~"

"I'll see you tomorrow, Zheng, I'll send Ignatius off, and you can sit down first. ”

Bruce turned his head to Zheng Jianguo and the others, then stood up and went to the door and went out, and said with a smile: "As long as you can confirm whether the research results he said are true or false, this is a surprise——"

"Whether it's true or not, it's not all these scientists who said it, you have heard him say it himself before, in fact, his current name alone can guarantee that this sentence will spread as quickly as possible, and now it seems that you were right to send him to the United States back then. ”

Ignatius Brosnaan buttoned up his suit, took off the cap from the coat rack on the wall, and then waved his hand and turned to the elevator in the distance: "Don't forget the tail of the hand and let him make up for it." ”

Seeing the other party enter the elevator, Bruce turned around and went back to the living room, only to see Ian Aimer next to him saying something to Zheng Jianguo: "When you say that, the risk is quite big." ”

"That is, the size of the oil contract is too big, and I don't know how much this spread news can play, but I feel that governments around the world are having a headache with high oil prices, so they will definitely go out of their way to publicize the results of this research."

It's just that those investors are bound to delve into the application prospects of this technology, and I feel that even if it is positive news, it will not last long-"

Listening to Zheng Jianguo's analysis, Bruce sat in front of the sofa with a slight frown, at this time, Catelyn took the coffee pot and refilled a few people, and when he walked away with his teacup, he also opened his mouth and said: "Tafry, you take out those two forms and let Jianguo fill them out, so that they can be replaced when the time comes." ”

"Oh, okay!"

Evelyn Tully glanced at Ian Emmer next to him, then took out an envelope from his underwear pocket, put it in front of Zheng Jianguo, and said: "Bruce said that I have already told you about this matter, so it is best to change your visa application form back at that time, you fill it out and hand it to me, if there is a mistake in the future, it will not be good." ”

"The I-693 medical examination form is filled out by someone else, so you don't have to fill it out yourself, this I-140 form and I-485 form need to be filled out by yourself, remember not to write the wrong date, so that Evelyn can replace those two. ”

Finding that Zheng Jianguo was hesitantly looking at the form taken out of the envelope, Bruce took a pen from his inner pocket and handed it to him and said, the former also knew that this was finishing up his visa application after seeing the form clearly, so he took the pen and quickly filled it out, and several people next to him fell into silence.

The form is very easy to fill in, especially in terms of Zheng Jianguo's achievements and achievements now, the reason why he didn't remember it at that time was because he wanted to change his visa under the dark, and he didn't go for the purpose of immigration.

Quickly filled it out and handed it to Avelin, who took it and looked at a few signatures and dates, then picked up a pen and signed his name in the final approver's place: "Just leave the file and change it when I get back." ”

"Thank you!"

Zheng Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, with his knowledge of the American media and procedures, it would be just that no one would uncover this matter at that time, and if someone did, no matter what the outcome was, he, Bruce and Evelyn would have to be investigated.

Especially considering that these two are still in the officialdom of the United States, and they don't know if there are any other filths under their butts, so this matter has become the thorn in his heart, or the thorn that is difficult to speak-

Now that the thorn has been pulled out, Zheng Jianguo's attention has returned to what happened before: "The main thing is that the time to build a position is not easy to grasp, and it is easy to blow up if the position is opened early, and now the price of oil is great——"

"I have to turn on the TV to see this, I've been busy all day today, and I haven't even read the news-"

Bruce said as he turned on the loud voice in front of the TV, and quickly turned up a few more channels, and saw a group of numbers appear on the screen: "It's 33 dollars 09 cents now, and it's 9 cents back from yesterday—"

"33 dollars 09 cents minus 27 dollars 39 cents is equal to 5 dollars 70 cents, according to 110 million barrels, this is 627 million, plus the capital of 310 million, this is 937 million?

A group of numbers quickly appeared in his mind, Zheng Jianguo glanced at a few people next to him, and found that he couldn't find a pen to calculate, so he had to remove the fraction in his mind and calculate it as an integer: "If you are short, you are short selling, with a maximum leverage of 900 million US dollars 20 times, you can get 545 million barrels at the price of $33, and then for every $1 price drop, you can earn 545 million."

It's just that under 20 times leverage, as long as it rises by 1 cent, I can pay $5.45 million based on 545 million?

No, if you remove 20 times, it is a supplementary payment of $272,500, and if it rises by $1, you have to pay $27.25 million - in this way, it is a fall of $1 to earn 545 million, and a rise of $1 to make a supplementary payment of $27.25 million?"

Zheng Jianguo was suddenly moved, but fortunately, he also knew that this was not a procedural loophole, but the 20 times leverage he chose, he only needed to pay one-twentieth of the margin for every $1 rise, and 0.2725 million multiplied by 20 times was exactly 545 million.

"And the amount of 18 billion funds, even if it is placed in the oil contract market of tens of trillions, can it be regarded as a large ant, right?"

This thought flashed through his mind, Zheng Jianguo breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and after a realization rose in his heart, he nodded at Bruce and said: "I feel that I can operate a wave, but I don't know if President Carter can visit MIT after the article is published——"

"Then it's too late, those Wall Street people are smarter than a dog's nose—"

Next to him, the middle-aged man who had been silent opened his mouth, and Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but look at him in surprise, knowing that this name was August Waderson, and he was a stuffy gourd who hadn't made a sound since Bruce introduced them to both parties.

Zheng Jianguo had doubted whether he was here to eat, but he didn't expect to open his mouth at this time, but the next moment he woke up, what he said was reasonable!

Carter doesn't understand economics, which Zheng Jianguo has known since he came to the United States, otherwise he would never have risked offending domestic farmers to cancel the grain trade agreement with the Soviets — and now the actor Ronald Reagan has promised everywhere that he will abolish the ban when he becomes president.

"I think you've done a good job before, just pretend not to care and tell the media—"

August Widerson held a coffee saucer in his left hand and a coffee cup in his right hand and said, after a pair of eyes found Zheng Jianguo looking at him, a faint smile appeared on his fair face: "I remember that you have a good relationship with reporters and hosts, and you will answer three questions every time you are encountered." ”

"August is right, instead of Ignatius telling those staff through his internal connections, I suspect that before the president hears about this suggestion, the mad dogs on Wall Street will know about your plan, and they will even dig a trap for you-"

August Waderson's words seem to have struck a chord with Ian Aimer, who wondered if he had a preconception about Wall Street or something else.

Zheng Jianguo's gaze swept over the other middle-aged man who had not made a sound, but had been looking at him with his eyes, his gaze stayed on the other party's cheeks, neck and hands, and there was already a little guess in his mind: "This thing, it can't be a psychoanalyst, right?"

This uncertain thought flashed in his mind, Zheng Jianguo didn't take this to heart, although Auguste's words have a lot of conspiracy theories, but he himself is a person who thinks about things when he encounters something, especially with so much money and no power.

If it weren't for the super high self-control and mentality given by the status of a reborn, I would have been in an insane asylum because of the paranoia of being killed: "Thinking about it this way, Mr. August is right, when the reporters were concerned about the scandal on me, they heard that there was such an electric car, I am afraid that one day they would be able to brush this headline all over the United States——"

At that time, it will become the news that ordinary people will pay attention to from the entertainment industry, gossip circle, and technology circle, and when even ordinary people begin to pay attention, then in the face of high oil prices, it is difficult for the White House and Downing Street not to pay attention.

As long as your research can stand up and don't have too many loopholes, I'm afraid that the mad dogs on Wall Street will immediately package this technology and go public, and you will have a huge amount of research funding and the world's attention——"

August Widerson still maintained the posture of holding a plate in one hand and coffee in the other, and did not bring the coffee cup to his mouth until the words fell, and gently sipped it, and smiled at Zheng Jianguo: "In this case, you are afraid that you will break the record of Laurence Bragg winning the Nobel Prize at the age of 25, and you seem to be only 18 years old this year?"

"Huh-"

Zheng Jianguo smiled a little stiffly, he didn't expect that this person would see through his intentions, if the real atomic-level graphite layer can break through the circle with this news to attract the attention of the world, then as the discoverer of this atomic-level graphite layer, he will take the most solid step towards the Nobel Prize in Physics!

Fortunately, Zheng Jianguo's composure as a reborn made him calm down quickly, and with the help of the tempering of his study and work experience in the past two years, he quickly thought of the best way to deal with it: "If I can win the Nobel Prize again because of this, it will be the highest glory I dream of!"

"You're smart - ability, money, honor, this plan to kill three birds with one stone is wonderful!"

August Widerson turned his head to look at Bruce next to him, nodded slightly, and said, "Bruce, I haven't seen a young man as powerful as him for a long time, I think the biggest achievement in your life is to invite Dr. Zheng to the United States, Dr. Zheng, are you willing to join the Harvard Club?"
