Xiangjiang, Phoenix Hotel, Presidential Suite on the top floor.

Chen Dahe stood in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking at the sea not far from the window, the weather is good today, the wind is beautiful, the waves on the sea are not high, looking into the distance, it is very refreshing.

Turn your gaze to the right 90 degrees, and look down at the Phoenix Film and Television City, where all kinds of ancient and modern buildings stretch for miles, and are full of people every day.

Looking at the past from here, I can't see any filming crews, today coincides with the weekend, most of the people who come and go on the streets of the film and television city are citizens traveling with their families, and several tour groups are interspersed among individual tourists, which are tourists from abroad, because there are too many people, many of the crews who are filming simply abandon part of the exterior scenes and shoot the interior first, so that the crew can naturally not be seen.

However, wherever there is a large crowd of onlookers, there is definitely a crew filming in it, which is easy to distinguish, and the more onlookers, the more stars, or the bigger the coffee position, which can be seen which is the big crew and which is the small team.

Nowadays, there are three main bases for filming costume dramas in Xiangjiang, one is the old Shaw Brothers Cinema not far from the next door, in the past, Xiangjiang filmmakers used to call it Clear Water Bay Cinema, since the Phoenix Film and Television City was completed, it has changed back to the title of Shaw Brothers Cinema, and the other is Songcheng located in Lychee Kok, Kowloon, anyway, Xiangjiang filming is not so particular, the two thousand years before and after the Song Dynasty can be filmed there, and finally it is the Phoenix Film and Television City, which occupies the widest area, the largest number of buildings, the most complete supporting facilities, ancient and modern times can be filmed here, more than seventy percent of the crew will choose here, and it is really not scheduled or the team is too small, so they will go to the other two places。

As for modern dramas, they are generally filmed directly in the urban area, so you don't have to come here deliberately.

In addition to the many scenic spots and complete facilities, those directors and producers would rather endure the trouble of being watched, but also choose the reason why they want to choose here is because they can enter the venue for free, in addition to the supporting consumption needs to spend money, and they don't need a penny to enter the scene for shooting.

The hotel is integrated with the modern block of the film and television city, and the Phoenix film and television city belongs to the TV station, so after the acquisition of the third bank, this famous film and television base and tourist attraction in Southeast Asia has naturally become the exclusive property of Chen Dahe.

Well, the people who know the identity of his boss are even Mu and Lao Ma, and the others just regard him as a noble guest. The presidential suite on the top floor was arranged by Lao Ma, and it was specially left to him by Oliver before, but today is the first time to stay in it.

Suddenly, Tu'an, who was playing a game on the sofa, didn't make any movements, and suddenly appeared in front of the door with a slight movement of his body, and then calmly opened the door with the ringing doorbell.

"Hi Tu, long time no see. ”

It was Jerome who appeared outside the door, and when he saw that it was Tuan who opened the door, he immediately smiled and waved in greeting.

Tuan responded with a smile and silently made a gesture to let in the door.

It's been a long time? I think I saw it in Beijin more than two months ago.

Chen Dahe, who realized it later, walked over from the window and waved at Jerome with a smile, "Come and sit, are you settled?"

"Thank you, boss," Jerome followed Chen Dahe's gesture to the reception area, "Although you helped me book a room here, I may not be able to move in, and I have to rush back to Japan tonight, where there are still many things to deal with." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, things don't happen in a day or two," Chen Dahe personally poured a glass of red wine, and then shook the wine bottle at him, "Red wine, or coffee?"

"Thanks, coffee, I've got to pick me up," Jerome shrugged, "Otherwise, I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up with your train of thought, and as for work, I can't stop now, and I don't want to stop for a quarter of an hour at the thought of the opportunity to develop Third Bank into a world-class financial giant!"

Chen Dahe took a sip of red wine, then took out a can of coffee beans from the counter, poured it into the coffee machine on the bar, added another carton of milk, and said, "Okay, I won't waste your time, let's talk about work." ”

Pressing the button, a simple version of the cappuccino was poured into the coffee cup, Chen Dahe held the wine glass in one hand and the coffee in the other, and put it in front of Jerome, "I came to you today, mainly for oil futures." ”

Jerome thanked him first, and then looked at the boss suspiciously, "Oil futures, aren't we going to snipe at the U.S. stock market, why did we switch to oil futures? Or is it because the price of oil may fall, which will cause the stock market to plummet?"

Chen Dahe waved his hand, the wine glass he was holding shook slightly, and he lay on the sofa with Erlang's legs crooked, and said softly, " The stock market belongs to the stock market, oil belongs to oil, usually the two will have a relationship, but this time, the relationship will not be too big, because this time the price of oil will fall, will be artificially manipulated, we are currently investing a lot of money into the Japanese market, and the remaining cash flow on hand is not much, and although there are problems in the US stock market, when it will fall, how much, in fact, can not be accurately predicted, so in contrast, I think we should directly give up speculative stock markets and switch to oil futures. ”

"Manipulation?" Jerome was stunned for a moment, then stared at him, thought for a moment and said, "OPEC wants to regain market share?"

Hearing this, Chen Dahe's eyes showed uncontrollable appreciation, and he guessed the key point at once, he deserved to be a first-class banker in Europe, but unfortunately, his strategic vision was a little worse, otherwise he would not have been recruited by himself.

Since the beginning of the eighties, due to the sharp slowdown in the development of the world economy, the demand for industrial blood oil has also weakened significantly, and the problem of oil oversupply has begun to become prominent.

In order to keep oil prices at high levels, OPEC unanimously decided to implement an orderly production reduction strategy to ensure that the loss of profits will not be magnified.

This trick has indeed worked, and oil prices have generally stabilized in recent years, and remain at historically high levels despite reduced demand.

But in the past five years or so, OPEC's market share has plummeted from more than half to nearly one-third, and it is clear that their strategy of cutting production and high prices has become a stepping stone for others.

And the beneficiary side was none other than the Soviet Union.

Thanks to increased oil production and stable prices, the Soviet Union continued to increase oil extraction during this period and exported large quantities in exchange for imported materials. It's just that they didn't think that the increase in production they have increased is actually grabbing the interests of OPEC, after all, the overall demand in the market has not increased, but has shrunk, and what they have increased is what OPEC has decreased, so that the beam will be bigger!
