Chapter 101 is both a disaster and an opportunity

Two days after Jessica arrived, it was another weekend. On this day, Flon Pitt came.

Today's Flen Pitt is no longer the speculator who was looking for people to invest in everywhere. Today, Stoll Financial Investment Consulting has a certain reputation on Wall Street, and he now has more than two billion dollars at his disposal. While that amount of money is nothing to mention on Wall Street, what impresses investors most is that he is an independent speculator.

On Wall Street, there are quite a few speculative companies with similar amounts of money to him. But those companies are more or less associated with the big institutions, the Wall Street giants. Or rather, most of those companies are de facto dependencies of Wall Street giants.

But Flon Pitt is different. Until now, he has been operating independently, and his operation accuracy is very high, which can bring a considerable return on the income of collaborators.

But that also annoyed Wall Street giants. Because Flen Pitt's operation is completely exploiting their loopholes and then making money out of their wallets.

Now Flen Pitt doesn't have to come to Las Vegas every week to try his luck. In fact, this is the second time he has been to Nevaa in half a year this year. Last time, he also came to talk to Link about investing. That time he persuaded Link not to redeem the funds from his company for the time being.

If someone else has increased their assets from less than five million to three hundred million in less than two years, and controls more than two billion dollars. The man was afraid that his tail would have pierced the floor. But Fren's experience has kept him calm. He knew who he should value the most.

When he came out of prison, he returned to his old job and was ostracized by the entire Wall Street. He even had to travel thousands of kilometers to Neva, thousands of miles away, in search of investment.

Link was willing to invest $300 million in him and would never ask for anything from him. Such a person is not intended to be seen as just a partner. Maybe Link was half his age. But he was still willing to treat the young man as a friend.

So he made a special trip to Link's farm this time.

Link poured him a glass of champagne and handed it to him, saying, "I don't think you're here for a vacation this time." ”

Flon took the glass, touched it with him, and said with a smile, "Yes." I'm a busy guy right now! so busy that I think going to the park to walk the dog is a vacation!" he said, taking a sip of his wine, and nodded. "Nice champagne. ”

Link also took a sip and said, "I bought it casually." You know I don't have a lot of research on wine. ”

Furlen couldn't help but smile and said, "I think if people know about it, your wine will have to stay in the cellar." You know, no winery owner would say he didn't study wine. ”

"I just don't know how to taste wine, it's not that I'm brainless. Link smiled and said. "Maybe you'll like the next batch of wine. ”

"Hmm. Albert's work, of course I would like it. He had just had a great conversation with Albert. "I have to say, I'm looking forward to next summer now. "Next summer, Link's wine here will be ready to open the cellar.

Link laughed and said, "I'll send you a car then." "He produced a very high volume of wine this year. Comparatively speaking, there aren't many to send a truckload.

"I'll build a big wine cellar as soon as I get back. ”

"I don't think you're here because I heard Albert is here!" Link put his glass on the table. "Is there a business problem?" After more than a year of cooperation, he also has a lot of trust in this partner. If he needs financial support, he has no problem coming up with a billion 800 million.

Now he has a lot of money. But he still has more than two billion dollars in the bank.

Flon pursed his lips, muttered for a long time, and said, "There is no problem with the business of large companies. However, I saw an opportunity that required a lot of capital. But the stakes are significant. What I mean by that is that the more money you have, the more likely you are to succeed. ”

"So you need capital?"

"Yes. You know, I'm an ostracized person on Wall Street. Even the people who invested in me, they hated me, they liked it, all they liked was that I could make money for them. I don't want them to know that I see that opportunity. So I'm not going to try to convince those people to increase their investment. ”

Listening to his unexpectedly words, Link pondered for a moment, raised his eyes to look into the other's eyes, and said, "How much do you need." Also, how confident are you?"

"I'm in the process of bringing back the funds and eventually have $2.6 billion in operating space. But I need four billion to be sure. If successful, we can double our funds within three months. ”

Hearing his words, Link didn't feel excited, but frowned. Although he doesn't play investing, he also knows that it is similar to gambling, and the greater the return, the higher the risk. It can be said that speculation, the faster you can make money, the faster you can lose.

Fren didn't intend to say anything more to convince him, just quietly waited for his decision. If Link felt that the stakes were too high and he was unwilling to invest, he had to give up the opportunity. Although he is unwilling, he is not a little hairy man who has just entered Wall Street. Understand that there should be trade-offs.

And if Link isn't willing to invest, he won't blame Link. He knew Link's approximate assets. Putting the vast majority of the money at risk, everyone thinks about it carefully.

Link is indeed thinking about whether to take more than 1.5 billion to take the risk.

Flren just said that there would be a lot of risk, although he didn't say specifically, but from the fact that he was reluctant to ask those people on Wall Street for money because he was worried about the leak of the news, it was very risky.

Flren has always snatched food from the mouths of those predators, and this time is probably no exception. Although the profit will be relatively high in that way, if he is not careful, he will be swallowed by those predators with bone.

Link understands the risks, but he's also very impressed by what Fren says about the yield. Doubled in three months. Maybe not as good as him going to the casino to gamble for a few days. But now he simply can't win money from the table. He is not welcome in the big casinos, and he is not welcome in the private casinos. He can't even get to the table right now.

Now he does have enough money, but no one thinks he has more.

He didn't think about how risky the investment was. It's about the impact on him if this investment fails.

For him, the money in the bank is also a place. Although he has plans to invest now, he does not need much money, and a maximum of $500 million is enough. Today, all three of his farms are large wineries. As long as the wine can make money, he will not become a pauper.

Even if the wine can't be sold, the farms themselves are worth a lot. Even if he can't run the business anymore, selling it is enough for him to live the next life with taste.

And the money deposited in the bank is said to be his money. But that money doesn't mean anything to his life other than to guarantee his future life. It can be said that whether the money is stored in the bank or lost seems to make no difference to him.

Now it is possible that he will have to invest more in the farm, and the winemaking in Ozette will also cost a fortune. In the end, if Jessica's side can cooperate, he may also invest a sum of money.

And he now has about $2.5 billion in cash in the bank. He felt that leaving five or six hundred million would be about the same. That money will probably last him for two years. And in two years, maybe his wine will be able to increase the value of his assets again.

Thinking of this, he looked up and said, "I can increase my capital." But what exactly do you want to do?"

As soon as Fren heard his words, his eyes lit up, and a smile couldn't help but cover his entire face. He lowered his voice and said, "Crude oil! I plan to operate on crude oil futures!"

Link recalled. He remembers that the price of crude oil reported on the news was normal, not high or low compared to the same period in previous years. The world economy is now relatively stable. Crude oil doesn't seem to have much room to operate.

Perhaps seeing his doubts, Flren explained in a whisper: "Experts predict that the weather in the United States will be better this winter. I think you know that too. ”

Link nodded, it was indeed reported on the news.

"But I know it's just a hoax. The fact is that some experts have analyzed that the eastern and southern parts of the United States will experience a large cold wave, perhaps the entire eastern and central United States will experience a major snowstorm, and even the western part may also experience a once-in-a-century cold wave. ”

Link straightened up and asked, "Are you sure?"

He was nervous, not for the possible ups and downs of crude oil prices. It's because the bad weather has a huge impact on his farm. Although New Mexico is subtropical, the topography of North America determines that if there is a major cold wave, the cold air from the Arctic will reach the Gulf of Mexico, and although New Mexico is in an arid region, the eastern part also belongs to the Great Plains region. When the cold wave comes, the temperature will not be much higher.

If even the west coast suffers from a cold spell, Ozette Farm is likely to suffer as well. Although it is blocked by the Rocky Mountains, the cold snap of the Arctic has little effect on it. But it is precisely because of that that the temperature is warm all year round, and the preparation for the cold wave climate is insufficient, and in the event of a cold wave, the losses will be even greater.

Nevada, located between the Rocky Mountains, has perhaps the most stable climate. But that doesn't guarantee that there won't be problems.

"A friend of mine works at the Observatory and is mainly engaged in sunspot observations. He's a decent man. When he analyzed the distribution of sunspots over the years, he found that the distribution pattern of sunspots this year is very similar to that of the year when there was a large area of cold waves in the Northern Hemisphere. ”

He paused, and then said: "In order to verify his judgment, he found a lot of information, including the analysis and comparison of changes in the earth's atmosphere and ocean currents. I also had discussions with some climate experts. He stumbled upon the fact that climate experts had submitted this year's cold warning report to the government. But, you see it. They say it's going to be warmer this winter!"

Speaking of which, Furren said mockingly, "I know their purpose. ”
