Chapter 80: Changing the Battlefield

(Bow and thank you for the monthly pass support of "Fengshen Yu Shao"!)

At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Ming returned to the dormitory of Harvard University, standing in front of the dormitory door, Zhou Ming looked up at the dormitory building, although Zhou Ming did not leave here for a few days, but he experienced so many things in the middle, and it always felt like a long time had passed. In addition, the most important thing is that she has always been with Lin Muqing, but there is still a female student here who likes her so much, although she has made it clear that only Lin Muqing is worthy of herself, but God knows if she can really let go.

These thoughts made Zhou Ming feel a very headache, if ordinary people should take the initiative to give up, but Zhou Ming understood that no matter what, there were some things that he had to face sooner or later, so he quickly threw those thoughts out of his mind and walked towards the dormitory with his legs raised.

Open the door of the dormitory, everything in the dormitory is in order, although it is not a weekend today, because it is noon, the students of the finance class are in the dormitory, ready to go out to eat collectively at any time. This is also the repertoire of the finance class, because they are not familiar with the place of life abroad, and they don't like American food, so they basically go to eat together.

At this time, the students in the finance class were sitting in the hall on the first floor watching TV, and when they heard the movement at the door, they all turned their heads together, and immediately saw Zhou Ming.

Everyone's eyes widened and their mouths widened, full of disbelief: "Teacher?"

Chen Shu, Li Yang, and Ye Ning both stood up, and they all walked quickly to the door, and asked in surprise, "Is the teacher really you, why did you come back?"

Faced with this question, Zhou Ming smiled and asked, "Why can't I come back? I don't remember that I moved out of here, or did you kick me out of this dormitory and remove me?"

"How is it possible? Whoever dares to do this, I will definitely not let him go!" Li Yang roared angrily, that hideous expression made people believe that if this thing really happened, he would definitely kill that person, he then eased his tone and said, "Teacher, you will always be the homeroom teacher of our finance class, and our finance class only recognizes you as a homeroom teacher, whoever wants to be not a member of our finance class!"

Under Li Yang's call, other students in the finance class also echoed it, and when everyone's voice weakened, Ye Ning said again: "It's just that teacher, you haven't come back for so long, we miss you very much, and we are afraid that you will give up on us." ”

Ye Ning burst into tears as she spoke, and as Ye Ning cried, the other students in the finance class also cried sadly.

This made Zhou Ming a little helpless, Zhou Ming knew that Ye Ning was crying because of Lin Muqing's relationship, plus she was a female classmate, so she was more emotional, but you other big boys didn't need it.

It's just that the truth is this, but Zhou Ming is not easy to say now, Zhou Ming then said: "Don't be like this, don't worry, I said that you are my loveliest students, and I will never give up on you! It's just that I had important things to deal with a few days ago, so I didn't come back, and I came back today because I have an important task to bring to you." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming deliberately paused and said, "But I see you like this now, I am a little disappointed, do you want to wipe away your tears first?"

Hearing Zhou Ming say this, the students in the finance class suddenly reacted one by one and began to wipe away their tears, Zhou Ming didn't forget to joke at this time: "Ye Ning is a female classmate, why are you all female classmates?"

In the face of Zhou Ming's jokes, everyone lowered their heads embarrassedly, but after a while, they let out a hearty laugh, and finally even Zhou Ming himself couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Ming undoubtedly said this on purpose, after all, he had just returned to the dormitory, and it was always difficult to be so tragic, just like he was resurrected from the dead after his heroic righteousness. In fact, for Zhou Ming, he had only been away for a few days, and when he heard that the classmates in the finance class were so concerned about him, he couldn't even help crying, which still moved Zhou Ming very much.

After enlivening the atmosphere, Zhou Ming walked into the dormitory, he saw that the news was playing on the TV at the moment, Chen Shu explained: "Teacher, I know that you have been busy with international crude oil futures recently, although we don't know so much about the futures, but at least we will pay close attention to the news, so that where you can use us, teacher, we will not be at a loss." ”

Zhou Ming nodded with satisfaction, the students in the finance class are all very smart elites, but they are not only elites, their greater advantage lies in their active learning ability.

But satisfaction is satisfaction, and you can't let go of what should be examined, so Zhou Ming asked: "Then do you have any findings?"

In response to Zhou Ming's question, Chen Shu, Li Yang and Ye Ning glanced at each other, and Chen Shu stood up and answered: "Teacher, we have been paying attention to the situation in the Middle East and the international crude oil futures market in the past few days, and I feel a little strange. ”

Zhou Ming looked back at Ye Ning, Li Yang, and the other students in the finance class, and they all nodded one after another, obviously having the same feeling as Chen Shu.

Zhou Ming asked, "How strange do you feel?"

Chen Shu thought about this for a while before he replied: "It stands to reason that whether it is the breakdown of the previous negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait or the subsequent invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, it should be a move that will make the situation in the Middle East more chaotic, and under such a premise, the international crude oil futures price should also rise sharply with the chaos of the situation." ”

"However, from the day before yesterday to yesterday, the price of oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell sharply several times, which is very incomprehensible. Chen Shu said.

"So have you analyzed why this is?" Zhou Ming asked.

Chen Shu nodded and said, "Our idea is that this may be some consortium trying to use the news to manipulate the market, just like the old Brooke Congressman did on the stock before." They keep pouring money and concocting favorable news to guide the market to make wrong judgments, so that when things do happen, they can make a lot of money by investing in the opposite direction. ”

"Wonderful analysis!" Zhou Ming praised, then looked up and asked, "So is this your analysis alone?"

Chen Shu shook his head and replied: "No, the teacher, this is the result of our discussion and analysis in the entire finance class." ”

"I see, then you all did a good job!" Zhou Ming praised again, and then changed the conversation and said, "But there are some places where you are not bold enough to analyze." ”

Zhou Ming's words made Chen Shuye Ning and other students in the finance class stunned for a moment, and Zhou Ming continued: "This matter is indeed a big consortium manipulating the market, but they are not just manipulating the futures market, those big conglomerates are even manipulating the war thousands of miles away. ”

"Rigging the war?" all the students in the finance class exclaimed, and they had the feeling of hearing a fantasy.

Although they all understand the energy of Western conglomerates, they could never imagine that they could cross the Atlantic and manipulate a war in the Middle East from the United States, which is incredible.

"You should all understand that everything in this world is manipulated by capital, and although we have no way of knowing exactly how the US consortium manipulated Iraq and other countries, I can be sure that it did, and this is an important reason why I am back today. Zhou Ming said.

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, the eyes of all the students in the finance class widened: Could it be that the teacher lost money?

Zhou Ming guessed what they were thinking, Zhou Ming said with a smile: "I didn't lose money, but because the futures market is too heavily manipulated by the market maker, I can't guess the next change every time, so yesterday, I have secretly withdrawn funds from the futures market, and I will reinvest it after it is determined that the Gulf War will break out." ”

The students in the finance class nodded silently, and they all gave a big thumbs up to Zhou Ming's approach in their hearts.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and leaning towards Tiger Mountain is a very brave approach, but it is also a very helpless approach, but what if it is possible to avoid tigers and get the same benefits? Who must go to Tiger Mountain? Isn't that a problem with the brain?

Zhou Ming is like this now, when he invested in the futures market, he knew that he would definitely make money here, or he could make a lot of money, but now he found that he was likely to face big losses, so Zhou Ming withdrew his capital very decisively and left.

But now the problem is ...... If you don't invest in oil futures, what do you invest in?

Faced with this problem, Zhou Ming said: "I came back to you today because I need my finance class to help me invest." ”

With Zhou Ming's words, the students in the finance class immediately cheered, this is their heartfelt happiness, as Zhou Ming's students, it can be said that they watch the news every day in the dormitory, just waiting for the day to complete the task given by Zhou Ming. Now that the time has finally come, how can they not be happy?

However, Chen Shu thought of the problem, and said to Zhou Ming: "Teacher, we only have a general understanding of the futures market, and you had better not give us too complicated tasks." ”

Zhou Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I am looking for you, I will definitely not give you a problem, and the task I give you is not futures, but your old bank securities." ”

"Securities?" All the students in the finance class were surprised again, they didn't understand that the teacher had been paying attention to the situation in the Middle East? Why did it suddenly get involved in the securities industry, what does the Middle East war have to do with US securities? Could it be those petrochemical companies, or something else?

Facing the students with question marks, Zhou Ming told them: "It is a military enterprise, and there are other enterprises besides oil." ”

Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Li Yang immediately reacted, and he asked Zhou Ming: "Teacher, do you mean that the United States will inevitably participate in this war? So you want to buy shares of arms companies because these companies will accept a large number of orders from the Ministry of National Defense. ”

Zhou Ming snapped his fingers: "That's right, that's it." ”

Li Yang and the other students in the finance class didn't have time to be surprised, and Zhou Ming went on to tease their nerves and said: "I have now withdrawn all the funds from the futures market, after all, the battlefield of futures has been manipulated by big conglomerates, so I can't help but change a battlefield, so I will invest all in the securities market in the future." ”

"So starting today, I need you to analyze and study the military companies in the market and other energy companies that are not related to oil, and it is best to complete an investment model for me within a week. Zhou Ming added, "In addition, I can also tell you that the two major consortia that affect the Middle East this time are the Brighton consortium and the Rockefeller consortium, and you can analyze and study the holding companies of these two consortia." ”

In the end, Zhou Ming paused deliberately, he looked at the eager finance classmates one by one, and asked them, "How is it?

Everyone shouted in unison: "Please rest assured, teacher, we have confidence!"
