Chapter 137: A real project that can make money lying down

Except for Qiao Tao, who was a little excited about this, holding his camera and constantly shooting the scenery outside the plane window, the rest of the people did not have any special feelings about this, because the country and the working relationship are people who often fly by plane, and they have long been accustomed to this, and they have lost the excitement they had at the beginning.

Twenty minutes later, as the plane had stabilized, the flight attendant announced over the radio that Carlos unbuckled his seat belt and pulled out a document bag from the briefcase he had brought on board and handed him to George.

There are only two floppy disks in it, which are required to trade with Citi for all short accounts in the market with passwords.

"Isn't it reluctant to throw a short position worth $3.8 billion into cash that could have been immediately deposited into your account, but now you want to throw him out?"

Watching George take out the two floppy disks from the file bag, he kept playing with them in his hands, and couldn't help but ask, without saying anything else.

It's just that he didn't know that when this number broke out, all the people around him who could hear it were a little stunned and even couldn't believe it, staring at the two floppy disks in his hand, Arthur and his companions were okay, after the initial shock, they quickly returned to their original clothes, and they were still cool, but their eyes kept drifting in the direction of Ulmes and Osken.

After all, apart from the two of them, only Ulmes and Osken were the only ones on the plane who had enough ability to take risks and succeed in a situation where they were in a hurry, and $3.8 billion was a figure that could make countless people crazy, especially now that it was not far away.

To their surprise, however, the eyes of Ulmes and Osken quickly became clear, and they fixed their eyes on them, with a look of wariness in their eyes.

Although there was a desire in the eyes of the traders, there was a desire to get it, but in the face of Arthur and others who had already touched their waists and exposed their gun holsters, this made them sober up instantly, and hurriedly turned their eyes in other directions, for fear that one would be accidentally cleaned up by Arthur and others.

I figured it out, and sat there without any movement, just breathing a little heavily. After all, although they are traders, they have seen more numbers than this, but those are just numbers after all, not real existence, but now these are real, and no one knows the value of these two floppy disks in George's hands better than them.

On the contrary, Gigi and Qiao Tao didn't react much after hearing Carlos's words, but Gigi's eyes were more puzzled, and they didn't understand why George sent it out, as for Qiao Tao, George didn't know whether he was nervous or anything else, but walked up to George, took the floppy disk, looked at it seriously for a while, and threw it to him.

Life is varied, in the face of great wealth, anyone will react as they should, George took in everyone's expressions, just nodded slightly, Arthur and Ulmes's reaction, so that George was very satisfied.

It was a sudden test, and it was a good result for Georges to trust him in Ulmes and Osken at the very least.

"Cash in your hands also needs to be invested, and this time at a loss, Sandywell and the middle members of his board will know how they got a gold mine to me in person.

I prefer the things that are about to come to me to cash, and I have confidence in Amazon and PayPal, two big losers, just a stake in eBay, which will be fully earned back in five years, and everything that will be given away now will be in vain. ”

He put the tray back into the file bag and put it away, put it in Gigi's hand, and took a document in Carlos's hand, not a document, but a rough plan.

This is a tax-free investment made in response to George's handshake of a large amount of cash, George is an American, and his roots are in the United States, no matter how optimistic he is about the market in the East, the American roots cannot be lost.

"Costco and Starbucks are both good companies, the market value of these two companies is not high now, I think we have the opportunity to take more shares, those new second generation of shares are not looking at this benefit, a little high price, everything can be solved. ”

Looking at the rough plan made by Carlos in front of him, George was very satisfied with it, especially the list of assets that he had very comprehensive recommended investments, which were full of high-quality industries with a history of decades and hundreds of years and long-term solid reporting, although this was a bit contrary to his concept of investing in Internet technology.

"Amex has already helped me buy the next piece of desert for me in the desert area of West Texas, and after Christmas, you can help me go to the field and get the formalities done. ”

George returned the rough version of the investment plan to Carlos, and motioned for him to add the two companies he had mentioned to make a finished version, and then discuss it with James and others.

"What are you buying deserts for?,,,,,,,, you wouldn't want to get into the energy ranks?"

When Carlos heard George's words, he was confused at first, and then he thought of the things that Texas is rich in, pastures and oil, and after thinking about it, he looked at George with some surprise, I don't know how he could have such an idea, and more importantly, can buying a piece of desert be rich in oil?

This is something that only people who don't know anything do, and you know, the oil industry has its own set of operating processes.

Buying a piece of desert outright is stupid in Carlos' opinion, and rushing to conclusions without any exploration is not a shrewd decision at all.

He couldn't understand why George would make such a seemingly stupid decision.

"You just need to take it for me, he has other uses. ”

George shook his head slowly, there are some things that cannot be admitted, the underground of the desert now has flowing black gold that has not yet been discovered.

Some time before George arrived in this world, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announced the discovery of the super-large oil field named Wolfkamp, which has 20 billion barrels of recoverable reserves with current oil recovery technology, in addition to 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 1.6 billion barrels of natural gas condensate, setting a record for the largest unconventional crude oil reserves in the United States.

Its overall market capitalization is estimated at $900 billion, which is a real project that can collect money while lying down, and how could such a huge welfare George not grasp the Tao in his hands.
