Chapter 553: Black Gold (3)
After thinking about it for a while, Mr. White has found a way to make Yao Yi very happy to buy, and at the same time be able to consume a lot of Yao Yi's funds.
Mr. White came to Yao Yi early in the morning and said happily: "Duke Yao, there is a good thing, I believe you must be interested!"
Yao Yi smiled and said, "Mr. White, what can make White so excited!"
Mr. White said with a smile: "Duke Yao's 'private' territory at this stage can be described as a large-scale expansion, presumably energy should be very important, not only that, these aircraft carrier fleets have already been shipped, these big aircraft carriers are all big guys who drink oil, Duke Yao will not be interested in oil!"
When Yao Yi heard this, he smiled and said, "Since Mr. White has thought about it for me, then I don't have to '' anything!"
Mr. White smiled and said, " I know that Duke Yao has several oil companies in his hands, and now we also have oil companies in the United States, if it is only to meet the current needs, this is not a problem for Duke Yao, but I also know that Duke Yao has built two large oil storage centers in Akandi, Colombia and Sabah, Malaysia, which shows that Duke Yao is thinking about oil reserves, if I really want to take this step, I have enough oil reserves here, enough for Duke Yao to reserve!"
Yao Yi said: "How much do you have, if I make a reserve, it is a large-scale reserve!"
Mr. White smiled and said, "Duke Yao, it can be said that I can provide you with as much as you need, and I absolutely guarantee that you will be satisfied!"
Yao Yi said: "I want me to ask for 100 billion barrels, can you provide it for me!"
Mr. White smiled and said, "Hehe, Duke Yao, no, is it that crazy, our oil reserves in the United States are only about 500 million barrels!"
Yao Yi said with a smile: "I'm joking, for me, if you want to reserve, it won't be less than 10 billion barrels, how about it, is there a way to do it!"
Mr. White said with a smile: "This amount is a year's oil production, if you want to say 'get', it is not a difficult matter, the key problem is that there is no spot, if Duke Yao is willing to buy futures, this is not a problem!"
Yao Yi thought to himself: "Let me buy futures, I'm crazy, how can I buy futures!"
Because Yao Yi knows very well in his heart that this oil futures is just a credit economy, at this stage, Yao Yi now has a good relationship with the United States and can buy it, if the relationship deteriorates, or other problems arise, this oil futures are just a piece of waste paper, completely useless.
And this time what Mr. White wants to do is to let Yao Yi buy oil futures, because it turns out that Yao Yi's $1 trillion capital is in the oil futures market in the United States.
But the key to the matter is that Yao Yi only needs spots, never futures.
Yao Yi said with a smile: "Forget about futures, if it's spot, I can also think about it, if I didn't guess wrong just now, how much you just said is futures!"
Mr. White smiled and said, "Oil in this world is a scarce commodity, I can't sell it from the spot, and besides, I don't have the ability!"
Yao Yi said with a smile: "I know this, you Americans are very close to oil, at that time you said, you can sell me as much as you want, which really surprised me a lot, but the oil reserves you just said reminded me, it seems that I should also fill my oil reserve center with oil in case there is an oil shortage!"
Mr. White said: "In this way, Duke Yao is not ready to invest in oil futures!"
Yao Yi said: "The investment in futures is completed by my investment company, and I don't participate too much, after all, I still have my own affairs!"
After Mr. White heard this, he was very depressed, he wanted to circle Yao Yi with a large amount of money, but when Yao Yi said this, he felt cold and cold, and after thinking for a long time, he finally said: "Duke Yao, it seems that this oil cannot be reached between us!"
Yao Yi thought for a while and said: "Mr. White, you know, this oil is called black gold, and it is indeed in demand in the world, but it does not mean that we do not have the opportunity to cooperate, I think we can still cooperate, you can use your connections, especially the oil of Saudi Arabia, so that they can increase oil production, and I have money to buy it, what are you doing!"
Mr. White thought for a while and said, "Duke Yao, since you are so concerned about oil reserves, why don't you come and buy oil futures, when the time comes, you will double your profits!"
Yao Yi said: "Double the profit, where to start!"
Mr. White said: "You know better than me the profit model of oil futures, and such a large-scale buying activity is enough to 'manipulate' the price of futures, so that you can not only get the profits in the oil futures market according to your wishes, but also get low-priced oil, don't you say?"
Yao Yi said with a smile: "What you said is true, but you also ignore one point, that is, your American government, if I really '' like that, I believe that the American government will take action against me immediately, and there is no need to take such a risk!"
Mr. White said with a smile: "Duke Yao, you filtered, in fact, it is not as serious as you imagined, as long as you legally buy oil futures in our futures market, our US government will definitely not interfere, as for how you affect oil prices internationally, that is your business, it has nothing to do with us in the United States, at most, OPEC will organize a protest, but it is not a big deal for you!"
Yao Yi thought to himself: "The ghost only believes your words, who doesn't know, the relationship between your US government and OPEC, to another extent, the United States can almost influence and control the OPEC organization, let me fight with you alone, can I take advantage in the end!"
Yao Yi said: "Mr. White, you see if this will work, I will let you make a sum of money, which can be regarded as a 'private' relationship between us!! You come forward to help me buy oil, I will buy as much as you can, you can use your relationship with Saudi Arabia and other oil OPEC member countries to negotiate well, help me buy a large amount of oil, I will give you cash, some of the benefits in this, I believe Mr. White understands more than me!"
The reason why Yao Yi said this is because Yao Yi knew that Mr. White had been trying to find a way to get Yao Yi's large amount of cash back to the United States, so that this huge amount of money could be brought back under the control of the American government.
When Mr. White heard Yao Yi's words, he began to think about how to achieve his original purpose flexibly, otherwise, if he did not achieve the predetermined goal by receiving Yao Yi with such a grand ceremony, wouldn't it be a loss.
