"Uncle Li, shouldn't you come here this time just to talk to me about this?"

If Zheng Yan didn't think it was strange for Li Lao's thoughts, it would be strange if Li Bin was asked to make a special trip because of this.

"Of course not, I'm here this time mainly because I want to hear your thoughts on something. Today's crude oil futures market is the largest number of futures contracts in the hands of Yanhuang Investment, although Iraq and Kuwait are not fighting now, but this year's oil production will definitely be affected. ”

"Once the two countries really fight, it will be a fatal blow to the companies that rely on oil in the Gulf region, and at that point, the futures contract in your hand will be their last straw, so my dad asked me to ask you what you think and what you are going to do with it. ”

For some investors, the crude oil futures contract in Zheng Yan's hand is just money, but for some companies, it is not only money, but also the life of their company.

"Uncle Li, do you think Iraq and Kuwait will fight?"

Zheng Yan didn't answer Li Bin's question, but asked him a question.

"I'm afraid not, not to mention anything else, the world's dependence on Kuwaiti oil nowadays doesn't need me to say, you also know, once Iraq provokes a war, no one can say for sure, so Iraq does not dare. Moreover, Iraq's current economic situation does not support a war. ”

Li Bin had discussed this issue with Mr. Li long before he came to the United States, but no matter what angle he analyzed, he thought that there would be no fight.

"Yes, although Iraq has sent troops to the Kuwaiti border and has shown its determination to start a war, no matter which angle you look at it, the possibility of war is not very likely. However, I just felt that war would break out this time, which is why I didn't sell futures contracts. ”

Hearing Zheng Yan's words, Li Bin showed an expression that was not what I expected, and said, "I really let the old man guess correctly." ”

When Li Bin and Li Lao analyzed the situation in Iraq and Kuwait, both of them believed that there would be no war, but Li Lao concluded at that time that Zheng Yan was not betting on the rise in crude oil prices a few days ago, but on oil futures after the outbreak of the war. There is no reason, and there is no reason, Li Lao thinks so.

Originally, Li Bin still felt that his father's idea was a bit exaggerated, but now after listening to Zheng Yan's thoughts, he found that even with his father's advice, he still underestimated Zheng Yan, at least underestimated Zheng Yan's ambition, and underestimated Zheng Yan's self-confidence.

"What, Grandpa Li also thinks that war will break out?" Zheng Yan asked with some curiosity.

"My dad didn't think there would be a war, but he said you must think it would, that's why he sent me. ”

Since the rebirth, Zheng Yan has anticipated the enemy's opportunities in everything, and investment is even more unfavorable, although it is because he already knows the direction of history, but he is inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, because no one understands himself, and every time he makes a decision, he thinks most about how to deal with other people's questions. Now hearing Li Bin's answer, Zheng Yan suddenly felt some comfort, Old Man Li understands himself, at least a little.

"Now that you've made a decision, what are you going to do with the futures contracts in your hand?"

"If war does break out, then I think the price of crude oil is likely to break through $40 a barrel, but we have too many futures contracts in our hands, and it is difficult to get rid of them for a while, so to be on the safe side, I am ready to start closing my position at $38. ”

After today's words, the relationship between Zheng Yan and Li Yanran is already a certainty, and the relationship with the Li family is even more unbreakable, Zheng Yan naturally will not hide anything from Li Bin.

"Zheng Yan, from the perspective of investment, your idea is completely fine, but I think there can be a better way to deal with it. ”

"Before I came over, I discussed this with my dad, if there is a real war, then the world's crude oil production will inevitably be affected this year, and at this time, the futures contract in your hand can become a sweet tooth. ”

"You don't need to be in a hurry to get rid of it, there will be a lot of people who will take the initiative to come over, you can wait for the price and sell, no matter which company you sell to in the end, you can leave a lot of favors. Of course, this may cost some benefits, but in the long run, there is no harm in the benefits alone. ”

Zheng Yan has not thought about Li Bin's proposal, but if this is the case, Zheng Yan will need to stay in the United States for at least more than a month. Zheng Yan's purpose this time is to make money and prepare for future investment in the Internet industry, and he never thought about any intersection with energy. But now that Li Bin has brought it up again, and it is the result of discussing it with Li Lao, Zheng Yan has to think about it carefully.

"Zheng Yan, in fact, I can see from your investment in the past two years that you are keen to invest in the Internet industry. Except for the Internet industry, which is your own investment, other industries have the shadow of other companies, and you never participate in the management. ”

"But have you ever thought about it, the global energy industry is basically controlled by some big families, and the investment direction of this family is not only for energy, they involve various fields, including the Internet that you are optimistic about. In addition, if you just want to live in a corner, then with your current value, you can already retire, no matter how much you splurge it, it is enough. ”

"But don't you have a higher aspiration? You haven't thought about building a century-old family like Morgan and Rockefeller? If you want, this is an opportunity, at least an opportunity to get in touch with these families. ”

Li Bin's words were like a key, opening a new door for Zheng Yan. Since his rebirth, Zheng Yan has never had any goals, and making money is also to experience the pleasure of making money, and he doesn't take money seriously, but now, Zheng Yan feels that he has a goal.

The foundation of the Morgan family is finance, while the foundation of the Rockefeller family is energy, so why can't they build a century-old family with the help of the Internet? Although none of the Internet companies they invest in are holding shares, they can be used as a means to make money, and then slowly extend their tentacles to other fields.

"Uncle Li, I see what you mean. Maybe I should think about how to get the most out of my futures contracts now. ”

Those world-famous big families, although they all have their own territory, but they do not exist independently, there is always such and such a connection between each other, Zheng Yan thinks that he is still very weak in front of those families, but this does not prevent Zheng Yan from starting to layout.
