In mid-September, seeing that the "Iran-Iraq war" was about to break out, Wu Ming had to leave for the United States in a hurry to preside over the final action of investing in oil futures. By the way, he inspected several new companies he founded.

John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York, USA.

This time, the destination is the United States, which has a high crime rate. So for his own safety, Wu Ming brought 8 bodyguards this time.

I saw Wu Ming walking in the middle, protected by two big men dressed in black and with a fierce figure on the front and back.

This kind of luxurious lineup makes the passengers at the airport can't help but look sideways, and they are speculating about the identity of Wu Ming, a Chinese child.

As soon as he reached the waiting hall, four men approached him.

As soon as the bodyguards wanted to stop the four people, they heard an order from Wu Ming.

"Let them come!"

“BOSS。 ”

The four of them came to Wu Ming and said in unison.

Led by four people, Wu Ming came to the box of a tea restaurant.

"Boss, you're finally here. It's been more than half a year, and you don't come at all. Aren't you afraid that I'll lose all the billions of dollars? ”

After sitting down, one of the middle-aged men, who was probably in his forties, wondered.

"Hahaha!"

Wu Ming laughed and said loudly: "With such a large sum of money, of course I don't dare to be careless." It's just that if you Julian can fail with such a simple operation, then I really have nothing to say. ”

Wu Ming invests in oil futures, of course, he needs a team to help him operate. To this end, Wu Ming established an investment company called "Star Investment". Then Wu Ming approached a headhunter in the United States, looking for a talent who could help him take charge of the investment company.

After carefully reading the information sent by the headhunting company, Wu Ming locked on a person.

This man's name was Julian Robertson, and he was famous in later generations. He is a master of financial investment and a godfather of the hedging fund industry.

In 1980, for $8 million, Robertson founded the Tiger Fund, which later became known as Soros's Quantum Fund.

In the late '80s and early '90s, Julian accurately predicted that the German stock market would enter a bull market after the fall of the Berlin Wall, while shorting the island stock market, where the bubble had peaked.

After 1992, he foresaw a catastrophe for the global bond market. In 1993, the Tiger Fund (in conjunction with the Quantum Fund) successfully attacked the British pound and the lira and made huge gains in this operation, and the Tiger Fund has since become famous and its capital has swelled rapidly, eventually becoming the most prominent hedge fund in the United States.

found such a super bull, Wu Ming naturally wanted to quickly recruit him to his command.

At the beginning, Julian Robertson was naturally very surprised by Wu Ming's age, and even wanted to turn around and leave.

After some careful exchanges, the two coincided with their views on oil futures. Robertson was impressed by Wu Ming, a seven-year-old child, and believed that there was really a natural genius in this world.

In the end, under the temptation of a high salary and $500 million in charge, Robertson finally agreed to Wu Ming's invitation and became the CEO of Star Investment.

Hearing Wu Ming's confident words, Julian Robertson couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Isn't it, as long as you keep using leverage to buy, you can make a profit, such a simple operation, you can succeed by changing someone who knows how to do it at will.

Immediately, Julian Robertson's face turned serious, and he said with a straight face: "BOSS, your news is really not wrong. After investigating, I found out that the start of the war between Iran and Iraq was almost at the end of this month. I really don't know where your information comes from, but it's so accurate. ”

Wu Ming smiled and did not answer. How did his news come about, I haven't seen it from the websites of later generations.

"Really?!"

The other three people next to him were shocked when they heard what Robertson said.

Although the situation between Iran and Iraq is tense these days, and those who are interested know that war may break out, they did not expect that it will break out in the next few days.

Robertson nodded, and said with a straight face: "This is already obvious, there is already saber rattling on the border between Iran and Iraq. Territorial disputes, religious contradictions, and ethnic hatred can become the fuse of a war at any time. If it's early, it's at the end of this month, and if it's late, it's at the beginning of next month. ”

Wu Ming put down the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice: "According to my estimate, after the outbreak of the war, the price of oil will rise sharply for the last time, and then it will continue to fall. ”

"Why?"

The other three were puzzled by this speculation and asked puzzledly: "After the outbreak of the war, oil production in Iran and Iraq will stop, and it should be like the fourth Middle East war, and the price of oil will stabilize at a certain price!"

Robertson smiled and explained, "It's because the situation is different now than it was then. At that time, oil was supplied by the Middle East, and the price of oil was naturally up to them. ”

"But now with the North Sea oil fields, which are not in the Middle East, oil fields are being discovered and developed. In fact, the price of oil has been overestimated now. ”

"Moreover, various countries have hoarded crude oil on a large scale, and the size of inventories has reached 5~6 times the normal level, but even in the case of a complete interruption in the supply of crude oil, the high cost of maintaining inventories seems completely unreasonable. When inventories begin to threaten refinery operations and logistics, a crash is inevitable. ”

The other three were silent, and then one of them smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, the financial industry is not suitable for a little shrimp like me, so I'd better continue to focus on my brokerage career!"

Hearing this, Wu Ming smiled and said, "Michael, you are too modest, and it is no worse than the financial industry to be able to run a brokerage company to the top." And you're heading in that direction right now, aren't you?"

Michael Ovitz couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Yes, I will definitely lead CAA to the apex of Hollywood." ”

Many people are very obsessed with Hollywood stars, but they don't know that in reality, they are just a chess piece, just like a prop in a movie, and everything is at the mercy of the big hands behind the scenes.

The big hand that controls the vast majority of movie stars and directors and can make waves throughout Hollywood at any time is the innovative performing arts agency (CAA).

Michael Ovitz – that's the guy here.

Moreover, this company has also developed into television, music, sports and other fields, and is the world's No. 1 elite talent brokerage agency, and can beat the second to tenth brokerage companies.

For Wu Ming, who wants to build a worldwide entertainment empire, CAA is an indispensable part of his territory, and controlling this company is almost equivalent to mastering half of the American entertainment industry.
