Being able to meet Steve Jobs in New York was a real surprise for Zheng Yan. For Jobs's current Next computer company, Zheng Yan originally had the idea of investing in shares, but later gave up.

Jobs has just been betrayed not long ago, and because of this, the company's control is particularly strict, after all, no one wants to experience this experience many times, Zheng Yan is afraid that his proposal to become a shareholder will cause Jobs's resistance. Crucially, the company is not worth investing in.

After meeting Jobs, although Zheng Yan was happy, he did not forget his main purpose of coming to the United States, and Zheng Yan refused Jobs' invitation to participate in new product promotion activities.

The next day, Zheng Yan came to Yanhuang Investment's office in New York. Originally, according to Bill Miller's idea, the company was to be located in the World Trade Center, but Zheng Yan had long known the fate of the twin buildings, so he deliberately stayed away from that place.

"Zheng Yan, why are you here?"

Although he didn't have the idea of a temporary inspection, Zheng Yan didn't want to affect everyone's work because of his appearance, so he didn't notify Bill Miller in advance. However, seeing the rather chaotic office environment, Zheng Yan was still a little dissatisfied.

Originally, according to Zheng Yan's idea, this was the first formal investment of Yanhuang Investment Company, and the funds involved were extremely huge. Zheng Yan didn't see any of the excited, nervous and expectant eyes in his imagination, only felt scattered.

"Bill, let's go to your office and talk. ”

Bill Miller could see that Zheng Yan was very dissatisfied with the situation at the scene and the state of the staff, so he didn't say much, and took Zheng Yan directly to his office.

"Leslie, you pour Zheng Yan a cup of coffee. Bill Miller said to his wife.

"Bill, don't tell me, what I just saw is the usual working state of the staff. ”

"I'm very sorry Zheng Yan, I didn't expect you to see such an unpleasant scene when you first came to the company, but I think you misunderstood something. ”

"Actually, it's not yet time for the market to open, so everyone hasn't entered the working state yet, and in addition, the investment in oil futures this time is so smooth that everyone has no sense of tension on weekdays. ”

"At present, almost all investors and investment companies are not optimistic about the oil futures market, because it is too calm, so when we put our money into the futures market, we immediately obtained enough crude oil futures contracts. ”

Although Zheng Yan was not satisfied with the state of the staff, he was very satisfied with the information provided by Bill Miller.

Counting up, it has been a few days since the price of crude oil rose, and Zheng Yan's investment this time is too large, and the most worrying thing at present is that the funds in his hand cannot be exchanged for futures contracts in time.

"Leslie, thank you. ”

Just as the two were talking, Leslie walked in with her coffee.

"You're welcome, you two can talk, I'll go out and have a look, it's time for the market to open soon." ”

All the staff only saw Zheng Yan and Bill Miller enter the office, but they didn't know Zheng Yan's identity, and Leslie felt the need to say hello to all the staff.

After Leslie went out, Zheng Yan continued, "Bill, how much money has been invested so far?"

"In addition to the first $2 billion, the later $10 billion has been invested in 1.5 billion. While our funds are nothing compared to the entire oil futures market, it is a truly astronomical amount because of the ten-fold leverage. I was afraid that if I invested too quickly, it would have an unknown impact on the entire market, so I didn't dare to let it go. ”

Originally, Bill Miller was not optimistic about this investment activity, although he promised Zheng Yan that he would lead the investment, but Bill Miller's cautious character still did not change.

When entering the oil futures market, Bill Miller had prepared for the worst, so the pace of investment has not been slow.

Zheng Yan thought for a while, if at the current rate, if he wants to put all the funds in his hand into the oil futures market, it will take at least six days. Zheng Yan knew that the price of oil futures would start to rise in July, but the exact timing was not clear.

"Bill, it's too slow. Don't care about the price, as long as someone makes a move, and we have enough money in our hands, then we will eat it all. In any case, you must invest all your money in the shortest possible time. ”

Thinking about the income this time, investing a little less money will make Zheng Yan feel a pain in his liver.

"Zheng Yan..."

"Knock knock..."

Bill Miller wanted to persuade Zheng Yan again, but there was a knock on the door.

"Zheng Yan, Bill, the market is already open, would you like to come out and have a look?" Leslie said to the two of them.

"Let's go, Bill, let's take a look. ”

When Zheng Yan and Bill came out, the staff at the scene were obviously a little nervous, not because of the opening of the market, but because they were worried about Zheng Yan's thoughts as the boss.

"Don't be nervous, just get on with your work. ”

Even if Zheng Yan is still a little dissatisfied in his heart, he will not vent at this time.

"Zheng Yan, I think you should think about it. The price of oil futures is now about $0.5 lower than when we first entered the market, and although we didn't invest much money at the beginning, we have also lost hundreds of millions. To be on the safe side, I think it's better to invest money slowly. ”

The oil futures market, which was unusually calm, because of the participation of Yanhuang Investment, made many investors see the opportunity to exit, which also caused the price to fall. However, this situation is exactly what Zheng Yan wants.

"So you say, now that we're continuing to invest money, we can get more futures contracts with the same amount of money, which is a good thing. ”

Bill Miller had a feeling of being defeated, and when he came to Zheng Yan, the loss turned out to be a good thing. If Zheng Yan was not his boss, he even wanted to scold Zheng Yan.

"Don't worry, Bill, the money is mine, and I care more than anyone else. Believe me, it won't be long before people who watch our jokes now won't be able to laugh. ”

Although Bill Miller doesn't know where Zheng Yan's confidence comes from, he knows one thing very well, he can't change Zheng Yan's decision, and can only pray in his heart that a miracle will happen.
