Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the will of the king is unpredictable, and he may become a devouring tiger at any time, but those enemies who stare at the "king" are not a fierce tiger, which is also intimidating.

Woodward is eager to help his boss do big things and make a lot of money, but he is really afraid of being caught in some unpredictable whirlpool, and he can't be smashed by the waves.

"Woodward, I'm scared too, but I'm even more excited, I'm looking forward to this mission, we have to trust the boss, he won't let us down, you have to have that confidence!"

Barbara loves money, loves money like life, and the opportunity to make a lot of money is in front of her, so it is impossible for her to give up.

Even if a group of people were chasing her with Gatlin, she would drive the sports car and operate the financial transactions until she completed the task and got her fair share of payment.

"Looks like it's time for us to get bodyguards too......"

Woodward looked at the small windows on the screen, let out a heavy sigh, and continued.

"Recently, the price of international crude oil has been in a steady downward trend, I guess those oil-producing countries should not be able to sit still, the boss may have learned some news from some channels that we do not know, it is estimated that the oil-producing countries are about to reduce production, the boss intends to do the multi-rice crude oil market, in order to make profits......"

Woodward analyzed it reasonably.

Barbara took out a delicate mirror and looked at her makeup, took out a lipstick to touch up her makeup, and said with a smile: "Woodward, the boss praises you for knowing how to think, but you must not overthink it, if you are so sure that you can guess the boss's mind, why don't you take a few million out to play?"

Barbara was ready, she decided to gamble a million dollars and go crazy with her boss, such a small amount of money was not even a drizzle for Wu Qian's layout, and it had nothing to do with the overall situation.

Woodward smiled awkwardly, remembering the last time he made his boss hundreds of millions of pounds less because of his own cleverness, he didn't pick up the stubble, and the bolder he gets, the younger he gets, so he won't go crazy with Barbara.

"Isn't the boss telling us to finish yet?" Barbara, seeing that Woodward was silent, turned her head to ask about work.

Woodward's face froze, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, Barbara, you reminded me in time...... The boss asked us to open twenty rice crude oil trading accounts from different countries. But I think, don't blame me for thinking too much, I think this amount of funds, twenty accounts is far from enough......"

Futures trading is about leverage, just like the last time he traded Brent crude oil, Wu Qian took out 2 billion pounds, and through a very conservative leveraged allocation, it became 35 billion.

The principal amount of $20 billion, even the most conservative leveraged allocation model, ten times, is not too much at all, and $200 billion, if it is only spread across 20 accounts, each account is $10 billion, it is really too eye-catching.

Smack, Barbara closed the mirror, put it in her bag, put her slender fingers on the mouse, and said, "Since you've thought of it, what are you waiting for......?"

In order to avoid suspicion, when opening the account, Barbara and Woodward contacted Rosalind, and like last time, they implemented the whole process of monitoring, which is a necessary means of monitoring.

They were busy until nine o'clock in the evening Solan time, and Woodward and Barbara finally got everything in order, opening a hundred accounts from more than thirty countries.

If such a workload is handled by a professional hedge fund, at least ten professional traders need to be arranged, but for the sake of confidentiality, it is impossible for Wu Qian to let so many people participate in it.

In order to ensure that each account was valid, Woodward and Barbara used each account to trade a minimum order size, and after the 100 accounts were traded, they actually made a small profit of more than 3,000 dollars.

"Boss, Barbara and I have completed the preparations, but instead of opening twenty accounts as you said, we have opened a hundred accounts, after all, the amount of funds is too large, and if the funds are too concentrated, it will be too conspicuous. ”

"At the same time, after the test, there are no problems with every account. ”

Woodward called to inform Wu of the progress of his work.

"Very good, you and Barbara have a good rest, keep the communication open, I may contact you at any time, don't delay things, if you feel struggling, call Fei Miller, he can help you at a critical time." ”

Wu Qian asked.

After ending the call, Rosalind, who was dealing with remote monitoring, put away the equipment and said, "BOSS, your short-selling move this time is very risky...... Even if the talks between Mao Ziguo and Saudi Arabia collapse, coupled with the capital suppression of 200 billion US dollars, there is still a lack of strength, and there are too many uncertainties. ”

Not only Kuretta is worried, but Rosalind also feels that the feasibility of the whole thing is too small, the BOSS wants to challenge the entire national market with his own strength, or the world's largest economy today, cutting the leeks of the rice country, where is it so easy, it is not bad not to be cut......

Rosalind had been investigating the coat of arms in Switzerland, but was transferred back to Wu Qian, and the investigation had been suspended, and she personally visited several old private banks, but nothing was found.

The three of them became tigers, and one person didn't feel anything before talking about Wu, especially since Kuretta was an old industrialist, and his judgment of the financial market might not be as good as his, but Rosalind also said so, which made him hesitate a little in his heart.

Wu Qian looked at Rosalind seriously, frowned and pondered for a while, then took out his mobile phone and made a call to Yao Xinlu, who was still dealing with the acquisition in Germany.

He was going to ask someone who specialized in economics.

Germany was an hour ahead of Solan, and the phone was connected after a while, at this time Yao Xinlu had just finished taking a shower and was working overtime in the bedroom, and the acquisition was nearing completion.

"Lulu, let me ask you something, don't tell anyone, just say that now the international crude oil prices continue to fall, Saudi Arabia hopes that Mao Ziguo will reduce production to stabilize oil prices, Mao Ziguo will definitely disagree, in this case, is the crude oil market bound to fall?"

On the phone with Woodward, Wu Qian also said a word of greeting, and when he talked to Yao Xinlu, he didn't even bother to say hello, and went straight to the point.

Yao Xinlu took off her glasses and said: "If all the other factors that affect oil prices are not stimulated, the crude oil market will definitely fall, but the room for decline is limited." ”

Wu Qian nodded thoughtfully and said, "It means that if you want to stimulate the decline of crude oil prices, you need to announce negative news in many ways at the same time, which is right." ”

"That's right. Yao Xinlu replied, as soon as she heard it, she knew that Wu Qian was definitely going to prepare to do something, so she tried to answer as simply as possible.

"Okay, I understand, MUA, rest early, finish your busy ThyssenKrupp business and come to the United States to find me, and I'll leave the day after tomorrow." ”

Wu Qian happily hung up the phone.

Rosalind pretended not to see anything, heard nothing, and looked intently out the window.

"Your reminder is indeed reasonable, in addition to Mao Ziguo and Saudi Arabia, as well as Iraq and Iran, there is also a certain influence, in case the rice country itself suddenly pulls its brains and reduces shale oil production, then Mao Ziguo may also loosen its mouth and follow the production cut, then isn't that a lore for me? This is all an unstable factor......

"What I want to do now is to eliminate these unstable factors, yes, there is a way! Rosalind, immediately help me check the financial situation of the shale oil extraction company in the United States, looking for the kind of financial situation is not very good, but the scale is not very small!"

It's like a light suddenly shining on the brain.

Rosalind received the command finger to quickly type on the keyboard, and her mind was also thinking about the boss's intention to ask for this information.

"I found out that BOSS, Delaware David Energy Company, with a market value of $4.6 billion, is currently the world's largest independent crude oil and gas exploration and production company, and the company's senior management held a press conference three days ago, making it clear that international crude oil prices have caused a great burden on the company. ”

"I found it here...... David Energy is now in debt of $3 billion, mainly because it auctioned an oil field with a daily output of up to 800,000 barrels per day in the Permian oil producing area half a year ago, but according to the data, David Energy has not used the production capacity of the oil field at all, and it is probably limited by the ...... of exploitation costs."

Rosalind is very efficient, which is why Wu Qian wants to transfer her back.

After more than ten minutes, Wu Qian had already understood the basic situation of this company called David Energy.

"That's it!"

Wu Qian patted his thigh, then raised his wrist to look at the time, and dialed the phone number on the other side of the ocean very happily.

"Minister Ross, I don't know if my call will bother you. ”

Wu Qian said happily, full of joy.

Minister Ross had just finished receiving a South American visitor, and was a little surprised to receive a phone call from Wu Qian, and both of them discussed how they could meet in New York in a few days, and why they suddenly had a phone call, but he was still very polite.

"Mr. Wu's phone call will not bother me at any time, I don't know what is going on with Mr. Wu?"

Wu Qian said with a smile: "That's the case, I've been particularly interested in the energy business recently, especially the shale oil industry that can replace conventional crude oil, so I seem to see the future, I want to invest in or buy a shale oil exploration and production company, I don't know if Minister Ross has a good recommendation in this regard?"

Minister Ross had just left the meeting room, and he was standing in the hallway, almost jumping for joy when he heard Wu Qian's words.

According to the latest statistics from Wall Street, the corporate debt of the entire oil and gas company has exceeded nearly $900 billion, which is a very dangerous figure and is now being saddled by investors who buy bonds.

However, due to the generally low rate of return on shale oil, investors have long been complaining, and if investors can't bear it, once they start selling, it will be a new round of debt crisis.

At this time, a fat lamb jumped out to invest in shale oil, which simply did not kill the Minister of Commerce.

Obviously I'm excited, but I still have to suppress the emotions in my heart, which is very hard.

Minister Ross cleared his throat and said, "Investment in energy is very important, and if Mr. Wu is interested in investing, he can consider the bonds related to oil and gas companies issued by our country." ”

Wu Qian let out a regretful sigh, and continued, "Minister Ross, this is not what I want. I've been paying attention to the crude oil companies in the Middle East and the oil and gas companies in your country, and I can't hide it, the kowtow machine is too old-fashioned.

In my opinion, there is a huge scope for shale oil extraction, and I am looking forward to taking a stake in a shale oil company to seize future business opportunities, don't ...... I understand that there is an oil and gas company called 'David Energy', which seems to be in some financial difficulties, I wonder if Secretary Ross can help contact it?"

Minister Ross's enthusiasm was half extinguished, and his idea was simple, let Wu Qian invest directly in the debt of the oil and gas company, so that he would take the money to fill the debt gap, and there was no real power, which was superb.

But obviously the other party is not stupid, and he doesn't do anything that has no real power just by giving money.

"Mr. Wu means that he wants to invest directly or buy a mining company, right?" asked Minister Ross.

Wu Qian nodded and said: "That's right, the future of shale oil is the future of industry, the future of science and technology, and the future of mankind. ”

Wu Qian now said high-sounding words, even Rosalind wanted to clap his hands.

Minister Ross also blocked the old man in his mind for a long time, and only then did he omit the flattering words of Wu Qian, and he walked towards his office, thinking calmly.

The policy dividends given by the Mi government to oil and gas companies are very considerable, and it is a tax cut and a tax increase on foreign crude oil, and he is unwilling to let a Celestial Empire take advantage of the Mi government.

Wu Qian saw that the other party had been silent, he walked to Rosalind's side, looked at the information of the "David Energy" company on the screen, and said.

"Minister Ross, I am very sincere, as far as I know, the company 'David Energy' has a market value of $4.7 billion and a debt of $3 billion, and I am willing to buy it for $3 billion and repay its debt of $3 billion. ”

"I don't know if it's worth it for Minister Ross to help me contact David Energy for negotiations. ”

Minister Ross pushed open the door of his office, and the international businessmen he had contacted were not one thousand but eight hundred, but he was really the first one as arrogant as Wu Qian.

David Energy Company has heard a little that a not very large oil and gas exploration and exploitation company is indeed not operating very well, especially since the recent decline in international oil prices has made matters worse.

Minister Ross doesn't know if the director of David Energy has any intention of selling the company, but he feels that if he intends to sell, Wu Qian is a very perfect pick-up man!

"Even if it is thousands of miles away, I can still feel Mr. Wu's sincerity, I promise you, Mr. Wu, I will immediately contact the director of David Energy in person. ”

Minister Ross really couldn't think of a reason to refuse, in his opinion, this was a typical person who is stupid and has a lot of money, although he knew that Wu Qian couldn't be really stupid, but it seemed stupid to do so......

It's okay to be stupid, as long as you have money.

"Well, look forward to good news from Minister Ross. ”

After that, Wu Qian hung up the phone.

"Minister Ross must think that I am stupid and have a lot of money, but I am really looking forward to contributing to the shale oil industry in the United States, and if I successfully take over David Energy, I will definitely increase the exploitation efforts and maximize the potential of the oil field......

Wu Qian smiled and muttered, picked up a bottle of wine, opened the stopper and blew it directly into his mouth, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he could see that he was in a super good mood.

Rosalind smiled and exited the boss's room, she already had a rough idea of the boss's plan, not to mention how clever it was, maybe there would be unexpected gains!
