Ross, Minister of Commerce of the United States, was shocked when he learned the news, he knew very well that Dawen Energy Group had just transferred to Wu Qian's hands, because he was the one who brokered it, and only the big boss of the company had the power to decide such a major decision.

"What's the matter, Mr. Wu? Didn't Haspel keep her promise?"

Minister Ross is very clear about the attitude of the US authorities, the shale oil industry will never yield to other oil-producing countries, in fact, when the talks between Mao Ziguo and Baipao collapsed, some departments had already held an emergency meeting to study how to deal with it, and the decision to increase production and fight a price war was made after the meeting was studied, but it has not yet been announced.

Asking oil and gas companies to increase production when international crude oil prices are low will obviously damage the interests of capitalists, so the relevant departments want to find a suitable opportunity to announce the news.

Minister Ross suspected that Wu Qian's intention was not to side with the relevant departments, but to be annoyed by the CIA's harassment, and he was still making concessions and compromises in exchange for peace.

"What an annoying fly, I hope things aren't as ...... I thought they were"

Minister Ross muttered, but this time he did not act rashly, neither contacting Haspel nor calling Wu Qian to ask why, but chose to wait and see.

Christo may be one of the few people who knows the general truth about this.

In a toilet in the Williams Building, Christo looked at the long yang line in the trading software, the hand covering his mouth in surprise was trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Oh, buy, awkward!"

He knew that it was not at all what the outside world speculated, what a certain department in the United States was protecting the disk, bullshit, he knew very well that this kind of behavior that did not conform to the laws of the market must be his new boss secretly fueling the trouble!

Christo wasn't stupid, and he couldn't help but shudder as he recalled some of the details of the conversation he had had with his boss yesterday.

Christo, who has been in the energy industry for so many years, knows how much financial resources are needed to pull up international crude oil prices against the trend, at least on the basis of 100 million yuan, and the currency unit is the US dollar.

The strong strength of the new boss made Christo feel a dry mouth, even if it wasn't the new boss himself, it was the forces of the same camp that were swaying the market, and after figuring it out, Christo's heart was full of a little excitement, if he couldn't become a big man, then at least he would be a big man's subordinate, which was not bad.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, coughed twice to clear the sang, pushed open the toilet door to look at the empty bathroom, and dialed the boss's phone.

The phone was connected, and there was a loud wind on the other side.

"Boss, I'...... I have followed your request, held a press conference to convey the news, the international crude oil price after a slight decline in a wave of very good rise, the current price is stable between 18.8 to 19.1, for your judgment, I sincerely admire. ”

Christo didn't pretend to be clever enough to say his guesses, God knows what the boss thinks, sometimes people don't seem too smart, especially not smarter than the boss, that's not smart, it's stupid.

Wu Qian was full of food and drink, and he was lazily sitting on the couch of the impala and driving towards Kansas City, after hearing Christo's report, he said.

"Dawen Energy is a well-known company, it has to be done, and it is necessary to notify the workers in the oil field to work quickly, in addition, you don't need to care about the international crude oil price, otherwise I am afraid that your heart will not be able to stand it, you know?"

The expression on Christo's face was wonderful, and the boss's words were clear enough, the WTI crude oil price fluctuations were the boss's masterpiece, and he suddenly had a sense of anticipation to hide in the fortress to meet the storm.

Christo was tempted to find out what was going on, but he eventually suppressed his damn curiosity and happily agreed to his boss's words.

"Christo, you have to firmly believe that the future of shale oil is bright, no matter whether the international crude oil price is high or low, the industry will shine in the future, no matter who interviews you, you have to express extremely firm belief, understand?"

Christo had a little doubt in his eyes, but he didn't know what he thought, the doubts disappeared in an instant, and he changed to a firm look, nodded heavily, and said, "I know, boss." ”

"OK, you go and get busy, deal with the reporters first, if there are not enough workers in the oil field, remember to recruit, don't let the labor bureau catch any tricks, that's all, by the way, pay more attention to safety." ”

Pay attention to safety, why should you pay attention to safety, because Devin Energy's decisions will make a considerable number of people uncomfortable.

In fact, there is no need for Wu Qian to remind, Christo is quite conscious, and at the same time as writing the press release, he has already contacted the security company to strengthen the security of him personally and the Permian oil field, and the CEO is still quite far-sighted.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Qian didn't wait and immediately contacted Woodward.

After Woodward and Barbara finished the transaction, they had been waiting for the boss's call, and the call finally came, and Woodward reported excitedly with a flushed face after connecting: "Boss, 250,000 short orders were closed 250,000 minutes ago, and the total profit reached 4 billion, 4 billion dollars, haha!"

Wu Qian simply hummed, and then said: "Continue to build a position, full of short orders, just like that, you are busy." ”

"The owner...... Hello, hey, hung up ......"

Woodward stood in his office in a messy manner, which was grossly inconsistent with his expectations, and shouldn't the boss reward them? Why didn't he say a word......

"Oh my God, Barbara, the boss told us to keep our short positions full, this ...... This...... What the hell is the boss going to do!?"

Woodward was a little mad because he couldn't read what Wu was thinking.

Barbara was much more "simple" than Woodward, made a funny body expression, and then got to work.

Wu Qian's strategy is not complicated, but it is not easy to say that it is actually implemented.

After personally experiencing a series of unreasonable behaviors of the United States, Wu Qian fully understood the hegemony of the United States authorities, and could fully imagine that the relevant departments would never compromise with Mao Zi and OPEC, and would definitely use means to maintain the stability of the domestic shale oil industry.

He first used the limited influence of Devon Energy to "allocate thousands of pounds" in the United States, blindly helping relevant departments to build momentum and driving the industry to set off an internal price war.

The next step is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, waiting for the United States to actively or passively get involved in the energy price war organized by Maozi and OPEC, which will further escalate and expand.

The price of crude oil fell to 189 US dollars, and he made 4 billion US dollars by selling 5% of the short orders in his hand, which can be described as a lot of money, but this is not Wu Qian's ultimate goal at all!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the world's energy powers are involved in it, a once-in-a-century change, we must seize this opportunity to achieve a complete sublimation.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Qiangang threw the phone aside, but it rang again after a while, he picked it up and looked at it, with an apologetic smile on his face, Dwayne Johnson called.

"Wu, I'm at JFK Airport, I have a friend who is going to have a party at the winery tonight, not far from Long Island, you can come and have fun together, the owner of the winery, you may also know, Boman, Natalie Poman. ”

The phone was connected, and Dwayne Johnson said very enthusiastically.

"Uh, Natalie Bowman? Oh, Dawn, is that the one from Kill the Cold?"

Wu Qian asked.

Johnson nodded and said, "Yes, it's her, how about it, are you interested in going and having fun together?"

Although Natalie Portman has acted in many classic films, Wu Qian's perception of her is basically stuck in the image of the little Lori in "Killing the Cold", if there is nothing to do, he really wants to participate in this party.

"Dawn, it's a pity, let me see ......" Wu Qian opened the navigation app and glanced at it, and said: "I'm still two hundred kilometers away from Kansas City, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the night party." ”

"Oh......" Johnson felt a little regretful, but he knew that if Wu Qian didn't have something very important to do, he would definitely not fly from New York to Missouri, thousands of miles away, in a day, after all, the two had made an appointment to meet.

"Wu, you are busy with things first, and when you get back to New York, you will inform me, and we will meet again. ”

"Okay, I'll be sure to contact you when I get to New York, goodbye. ”

Participating in a party hosted by a beautiful woman is certainly attractive, but there are some things that you can't wait.

After ending the call with Dawn, the phone finally stopped, because he couldn't participate in Natalie's party, Wu Qian regretted it for two minutes, and then continued to turn on the "browsing mode" and continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the road.

The fluctuations of WTI did not have any effect on Wu Qian, the game has already begun, and after dropping a piece, he can take a short break and wait for the opponent's reaction.

Towards evening, the Airbus H215 helicopter landed in Kansas City, on the roof of the Sheraton Club Plaza Hotel, the spade troops and Ball stepped off the plane, and the soldiers split into two groups, one group went down to the first floor and exited the hotel gate, and the other group began to check the hotel environment.

At the same time, on the street leading into the city to the east, a dusty Impala drove into the city with a faint black smoke from its tail throat, followed by a Rolls-Royce and a Bugatti.

It was an interesting combination, and many people on the side of the road stopped to talk about the three cars, especially the young man in the first place, the impala, who knew that he must have a great background.

Wu Qian was accustomed to these gazes, completely ignoring them, he immersed himself in his own world, admiring the most central city in the United States, Kansas City.

Generally, foreigners who travel to the United States rarely choose the destination in the central city of Kansas, so they often miss this beautiful city.

Kansas City is the city with the most fountains in the world, it can be called the "Rome" of the United States, no matter where you walk in the city, you can see all kinds of fountains, large, small, ordinary, extravagant, all available!

At the same time, the city is also in the center of the whole country.

There are very few tourists in the quiet town, and if there are, most of them are people from other states in the United States, or international students from famous local universities.

Wu Qian drove around the streets, and the traffic conditions were excellent, allowing him to observe the city at his leisure.

In the garden next to the road, there are old couples walking hand in hand, a family of three playing with their children, middle-aged women walking out of the supermarket with paper bags with children, teenagers gathering in groups to play under the stairs, and bicycles being thrown under the graffiti wall......

The whole city is full of life, and it is far from the rush of New York.

Driving the car and following the mobile phone navigation, Wu Qian drove to the door of an art museum.

Nelson Atkins Museum of Art.

The art museum is second only to the Art Institute of Chicago in the Midwest, and its Celestial Empire collection rivals the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the University of Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia in terms of quantity and quality.

There are many treasures and even unique pieces in the collection of stone carvings, murals, Buddha statues and paintings, and the museum also has a considerable collection of European art.

Wu Qian didn't want to go into the museum to take a closer look, but he just wanted to take a look, sitting in the car and looking at the huge "Badminton" sculpture on the lawn of the garden in front of the museum, he was fascinated for a while, and he didn't know what he thought, so he made a strange expression and smiled, and then drove away.

Jazz is another calling card of Kansas City, and if you turn the clock back to the twenties and thirties of the nineteenth century, when jazz was popular, Kansas City can be described as a city in the United States.

When you arrive at the Sheraton Hotel and have dinner in the hotel auditorium, there is a very wonderful jazz performance, which is not a good time, because there are dining privileges exclusive to top VIPs every day.

In the evening, in the top suite of the Sheraton Hotel, Wu Qian sat on the sofa in comfortable pajamas, and a glass of elegant cocktail was placed on the coffee table next to him, and Rosalind sat opposite him, reporting to him.

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the morning, Ms. Kama Harrison will give her campaign speech in Kansas City at the 'Freedom Monument' Plaza in the middle of the city, and there will be a lot of people in attendance. ”

Liberty Monument Plaza is a Kansas City landmark, and if you want to visit it for a fee, you can pay $16 for adults and $12 for students and children.

In order for Kama Harrison to hold a speech in the square, he needed to charter the entire square, and the money was naturally spent from the campaign funds.

"I'll be looking for an opportunity to meet Ms. Harrison tomorrow when she speaks, and I've rented five apartments next to her rented apartment, which is very safe and you can wait for her there tomorrow. ”

In order to allow the boss to have a safe environment to contact Kama Harrison, Rosalind went to great lengths to rent five apartments in the shape of a "ten", and Wu Qian could meet with Kama Harrison in the apartment where the "ten" crossed vertically.
