Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Best Companies Have a Balance
In the conference room of Wharton Company in the Sky Ladder Building, Zhou Ming put down the phone, he looked up and saw Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov all looking at him with some surprise, obviously this was for the decision he had just made, and even Lin Muqing beside him frowned.
"Did something happen to Zhou Ming?" Lin Muqing asked first, of course she supported Zhou Ming unconditionally, but this did not mean that she would blindly follow, such an important decision, in order to be safe, no matter how much she trusted Zhou Ming, she still had to figure out the reason.
Zhou Ming also understood, so he replied immediately without ink: "Just now Sun Wei said that someone on the exchange was quietly selling contracts, and I was worried that something would change in the market situation, so I asked Sun Wei to act in advance." ”
Although Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov had long expected this answer, after all, they had only discussed it before, and Zhou Ming also said that they would do it within three days; but now it was just a phone call, and Zhou Ming asked Sun Wei to do it, with their understanding of Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming should not be so untrustworthy, there must be something wrong in the middle; but when Zhou Ming really said this answer, it still made them feel a little unbelievable.
They don't understand that the war in Kuwait only broke out yesterday, and today it should be a time when the situation in the Middle East is chaotic and oil is dominated by the situation and soaring, how can there be an accident?
Could it really be Robert, the wayward Adams son?
Zhou Ming saw their thoughts and said to them: "I don't know if it's Robert, but they will definitely do it, either today or tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, maybe Mr. Robert just made things a little bit earlier." ”
"But there's one thing I still don't understand, Mr. Zhou Ming. Ilbedov said, "Now that the rise in oil prices is the general trend, if they have to bring down oil prices, it won't be so simple, right? This will require tens of billions of dollars, and because of going against the market, they will definitely lose a lot, and will this be a little too much to lose?"
Zhou Ming did not answer Ilbedov's question directly, but thought for a while and then asked: "Mr. Ilbedov, if it were you, and you wanted your bank stock to rise, what would you do? Will you just take money and keep buying it, and quietly raise the price?"
"Of course not, I will first release some good news from the bank, and then invest in a large number of shares of my own, so that the market will be easy to believe and follow the trend in the face of news and facts, at this time I don't need to make any effort, the price will naturally be raised......"
Ilbedov suddenly realized something as he spoke, and he immediately added: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you mean that the current sell-off is just one of the steps of the Brighton consortium, and they should have prepared enough news for the market to bring oil prices back?"
"It has to be. Zhou Ming said, "But now that things have developed like this, we can't judge for a while, so we can only wait for the follow-up news to come out." ”
After speaking, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing got up and left, and got in the car together and went back to the hotel where Lin Muqing stayed.
In the car, Zhou Ming said to Lin Muqing: "Sister Muqing, I think you'd better find someone who can serve as the general manager of the U.S. branch as soon as possible, and don't put Sun Wei there." ”
"Did Sun Wei disrespect you or disobey your orders just now?" Lin Muqing asked.
Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "On the contrary, this person is just too obedient. ”
Lin Muqing was a little dazed: "I don't understand." ”
Zhou Ming organized the language in his heart, and then replied: "I said before that Sun Wei has some ability in market analysis, but that's all, it's okay to do a little market analysis, but to make the market bigger, his vision is not enough." Of course, more importantly, he lacked the courage and determination to expand his territory. ”
"When I called him just now, he was very fluttering, I understood that he was very good on the exchange, after all, there was something yesterday that made him a star, but is it too easy to be complacent?
"This is indeed a big problem, in fact, I can't send him to the United States, after all, I don't have a complete grasp of the port city, I am a lame general, if I have a better choice, I will definitely fire him." Lin Muqing said.
"I understand that Sun Wei is a stopgap measure, but it is not a long-term solution. Zhou Ming then changed his words and continued, "But there is no need to fire him, after all, his loyalty is still there, in addition to being obedient, he also has a certain ability to analyze the market, such a person can't let him be a marshal, but he can be very relieved to let him be the marshal's deputy." ”
Lin Muqing's eyes lit up: "Zhou Ming, do you mean to make him the vice president? This is indeed a good way, Sun Wei is indeed a little easy to be proud and complacent, but the overall person is not bad, and he also has a certain ability, and he will be loyal to the company. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Muqing hesitated a little: "But it's because of this that it's not easy to do, right?" Although a new company does need a very capable person to lead the way, and it also needs a loyal person to monitor, and the balance is to involve these two people, but now Sun Wei has not done anything wrong, and he has done everything given to him very well, and I am now saying that I want him to be the vice president, I am worried that he will have some knots in his heart. ”
Lin Muqing said and set her eyes on Zhou Ming, but Zhou Ming put his arm under his head and said leisurely: "Sister Muqing, this is none of my business, you are the chairman of the Hong Kong City United Investment Fund Company!"
Regarding Zhou Ming's answer, Lin Muqing gave him an angry look, this is simply irresponsible!
But then Lin Muqing rolled her eyes, leaned on Zhou Ming's body, and whispered in his ear: "Zhou Ming, just tell me, I will thank you well." ”
Although the beauty exhaled like an orchid in her ears, and the moist fragrant wind slapped in her ears and made Zhou Ming's heart itch, he still endured and asked: "Then I have to listen to the conditions first, if the conditions are good, maybe I will think about it." ”
"Of course the conditions are very good, Zhou Ming, didn't you say last time that you really wanted to see me for the first time? Actually, I also brought that dress, if Zhou Ming can help me, maybe I can change it when I go back, in fact, I like it too!" Lin Muqing's words drilled into Zhou Ming's ears the more he spoke, and in the end, they were almost all said in Zhou Ming's ear, and in the end, Lin Muqing also stretched out her little fragrant tongue very provocatively and licked it on Zhou Ming's earlobe.
This made Zhou Ming excited, and he immediately hugged Lin Muqing's plump body: Damn, you must teach this woman a good lesson when you go back!
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing returned to the hotel, and when they walked into the room, Zhou Ming kissed Lin Muqing, and then the two kissed all the way to the bed in the bedroom. Obviously, at this time, Zhou Ming had forgotten Lin Muqing's uniform, and Lin Muqing had also forgotten the question to ask Zhou Ming, for them, only the other party was the most important thing now.
Lin Muqing's small suit shirt and skirt stockings and underwear, mixed with Zhou Ming's clothes, were thrown to the ground one by one, and with Lin Muqing's muffled snort, the bed began to shake very regularly.
......
The time soon came to three o'clock in the morning, when Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing were sleeping soundly in bed, the phone in the room suddenly rang, Zhou Ming picked up the phone to connect, and heard Sun Wei's voice ringing.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, you are really a genius, you are watching TV, there is something big happening in the Middle East now!" Sun Wei said happily on the other side of the phone.
Zhou Ming knew that Sun Wei would not be untargeted, so he quickly got up from the bed and turned on the TV, and after watching a piece of news, he immediately understood, and immediately dialed Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov respectively.
So after an hour and a half, Zhou Ming, Lin Muqing, Tong Gang, Li Cheng, and Ilbedov gathered together in the conference room of the hotel, and a TV was placed in front of them, broadcasting the news, and the crisp voice of the announcer clearly transmitted the news to everyone's ears.
"According to the latest information received by this station, the Arab League countries issued a resolution condemning Iraq's aggression after urgent consultations, unanimously demanding that Iraq withdraw its troops from Kuwait, and at the same time, the Arab League resolution also demanded that the conflict must be resolved within the Arab world, and warned that any external interference would be regarded as a provocation to the entire Arab world, and the Arab League had the right to make all necessary responses!"
Listening to the news, Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov were stunned, Tong Gang and Li Chengdu frowned, and Ilbedov said incredulously: "Doesn't this news mean that the Arab League will not allow the conflict to further expand and hopes to keep the situation in the Middle East stable?"
Since Ilbedov opened his mouth first, Li Cheng also took over and said: "That's right, but I think the Arab League wants to prevent the United States from intervening, because now the Arab League can negotiate with the Western countries led by the United States with oil, but once the United States enters Iraq and controls the oil of Iraq and Kuwait, the situation will be very unfavorable for them." ”
"No matter what they think, but now with this news coming out, it will definitely stabilize market confidence, coupled with the two major consortia competing to sell contracts, it seems that the international crude oil futures price after dawn will fall to a large extent. Tong Gang turned his head to Zhou Ming as he spoke, and continued, "So Zhou Ming's little brother's judgment today is quite accurate. ”
Li Cheng and Ilbedov were also a little afraid: "That's right, if it weren't for Zhou Ming's little brother's judgment and decisiveness this afternoon, even if today's oil prices would not plummet like yesterday's surge, I'm afraid that our losses today would be very large." However, I didn't expect that the wayward young master of the Addams family really had such an influence, which was really surprising. ”
"It can only be said that it is better to believe it than to believe it. Zhou Ming said, "But now that things have developed to this point, we have to observe the trend of the stock market next, in addition to military stocks, I think energy stocks are also an aspect worth paying attention to." ”
Zhou Ming went on to explain: "Because as the price of oil continues to rise, the substitution of other energy sources or new energy sources has become very important, so these companies will also be favored by investment. ”
Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov all nodded and said, "You can rest assured about this Zhou Ming, we have been paying attention to it." ”
Zhou Ming smiled with satisfaction, but although Zhou Ming had already finished answering, he still had the biggest question in his heart, that is, he didn't understand, since the two major consortia had prepared such news, why didn't they sell on a large scale publicly, just like before, but secretly? Do they still want to make this little money?
This is obviously impossible, Zhou Ming actually has another idea, but that idea makes Zhou Ming can't believe it.
