Chapter 416: The Only Friend

As a businessman, Xu Teng has always had a very special style, and there are many people he doesn't like, but as long as he has talent and advantages, he will still use it, or even reuse it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shi Lirong saw basically defects in Zhao Weiguang, chairman of ZIG Group, and judged that the other party was not suitable for the technology industry.

There is nothing wrong with this judgment.

Although Chairman Zhao was born in Qingdao University, his understanding of the modern technology industry is indeed too little, and it may be limited to written reports.

Xu Teng sees some very special advantages in this person, such as long-sleeved dancing, being able to move between the government and enterprises, skillful in capital control, sensitive and special sense of smell in stock market operations, as well as talent and unexpected self-confidence.

With Xu Teng's experience, as long as this kind of person is used well, he can still create value.

Xu Teng came to Tanzhou this time, he didn't plan to talk about business, just play, and brought the children over to accompany Xia Li for a few days, even if he met Zhao Weiguang, he just warned the other party not to mess around, the water of the Xu family and the Huayin Consortium is very deep, be careful, don't offend the interests of the Xu family.

Xia Li and Jiang Yingyu were recording a program on the TV station and would not be back until after 3 o'clock in the morning.

Xu Teng lived alone in the hotel to take care of the children, and after putting the children to sleep, he was in the study of the Hyatt Presidential Suite, quietly reading the information.

At home, even if you go out, it's always safe.

Tencent's security system covers the vast majority of public networks and servers in the country, and intercepts the American Prism program layer after layer.

In China, Xu Teng can work online at will, send and receive emails at any time, and handle the daily work of the consortium.

After Yu Meiren left, although he promoted Han Dai, who had been with her for many years and was absolutely loyal, to the "chief assistant officer" of the office of the chairman of the foundation, which was somewhat similar to the position of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the "person" who actually handled this job was Dr. Lu 5.0 artist.

To tell the truth, since the development of artificial intelligence systems, Xu Teng has doubted how much value human beings still have.

In recent years, the Pentagon has launched a very confidential research project, and they have upgraded a new version of the AI witch of the Prism Project to be used for war command decision-making and simulation operations, and one of the most important topics is to simulate the Sino-US war.

The scale of this research program is very ambitious, and the Pentagon's deep learning progress in the military command and decision-making ability through tens of thousands of simulations and analyses at the tactical level has actually surpassed the vast majority of grassroots commanders, and can completely replace the battalion-level lieutenants of the US military, and even regimental and brigade-level colonels.

Because the database and computing power of the AI Witch are incomparable to that of human commanders, she can complete calculations on an unimaginable scale in a short instant, and can make the most accurate orders every second in order to win the war, and all instructions are interrelated and coherent, just like playing chess.

Dr. Lu's new progress at the end of 2013 has completely reached the level of replacing human artists, and it can analyze and understand all human works of art, develop new genres of painting, art and design, and create new pop songs and piano songs according to its own analysis.

This means that the AI system already has creativity, although it is not a completely subversive creation, not a real sense of the word, such as the invention of mobile phones, the invention of integrated circuits, the invention of the internal combustion engine, but Dr. Lu is indeed able to write new tracks, and even create music that completely matches the preferences of each consumer based on the big data of each consumer.

Therefore, Xu Teng named this version "artist" instead of "inventor", but he is actually worried that the future of AI systems, maybe ten years, maybe five years, may reach the level of "inventor".

In fact, he has made Dr. Lu widely involved in the development of new models of Huateng Automobile Group, participated in the development of new mobile phones of Huateng Electronics Group, and tested new limits, so that Dr. Lu version 5.0 has more room for deep learning.

Dr. Lu's awesomeness lies in the fact that he can do hundreds of thousands of jobs.

While dealing with other auxiliary work, it helped Xu Teng to sort out and analyze new information, and it learned all the employees of Huateng Company very well, and compared with the past, it can also better select important information.

When Xu Teng looks at the latest consortium data on the tablet PC, Dr. Lu will update the latest analysis results synchronously, give his opinions, communicate with Xu Teng, and learn.

At the time of the appearance of this version.

Xu Teng finally has an unprecedented sense of crisis, and he can even feel that several other world technology giants that have invested heavily in the field of artificial intelligence can probably also feel this special sense of crisis.

A few months ago, Microsoft and Google sent an email to Xu Teng, hoping that Xu Teng would go to the United States to attend a secret scientific and technological conference to discuss the establishment of an AI alliance to try to formulate a unified limit in the research and development process in the field of AI.

This means that everyone is scared.

The era of AI obsolescence is approaching little by little.

The world's technology giants, no one can stop, because it means an unprecedented huge market, if they stop, this market will be ceded to competitors, if they do not stop, they will eventually destroy the entire human world because of vicious competition between each other.

The Pentagon and the "Great Wall Research Institute" may also feel the same way, the faster the progress in the field of AI, the more stupidity of human beings appears, and the more flaws of human beings can be exposed.

Including AI systems in the field of financial operations, Xu Teng alone knows about 7 projects, in addition to the global high-tech giants in testing, there are also two very good startups.

Xu Teng currently knows that the situation is not bad, it has been proved that the more fields that need to rely on a large amount of data for analysis and decision-making, the better the performance of AI, Dr. Lu, Witch, and Alpha cannot be like Xu Teng, actively design a bureau to attack the foreign exchange of oil countries, but in normal operation and analysis, the speed and accuracy of decision-making are indeed higher than ordinary financial analysts.

In 2012, the overseas hedge fund controlled by Dr. Lu returned 5.3% per year, slightly lower than the average return of financial traders, but in 2013 it increased to 8.5%, and the rate of improvement is very obvious, and it has reached the level of a few very good human traders.

In the middle of the night.

Xu Teng looked at the latest consortium data, and Dr. Lu accompanied him as always, providing him with the latest information and data, and providing professional analysis and evaluation for his reference.

Next.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Xu Teng suddenly decided to invite Zhao Weiguang of ZIG Group to the hotel, and on the balcony of his suite, he invited the other party to drink a cup of coffee and talk about his many thoughts on ZIG Group.

Xu Teng's decision flattered Chairman Zhao, who originally thought that his rash attack and evaluation had offended Xu Teng and the Huayin Consortium.

Actually, it's okay!

Xu Teng is a consortium chairman who is very good at discovering the merits of others, even if it is Chen Anbang, Ma Zong, and Chen Yongnian...... These people who can't make Xu Teng feel appreciated, as long as they have specialties that others don't have, he can use them.

Therefore, Xu Teng deliberately took time out of his morning to chat with Zhao Weiguang for two hours, and put forward some suggestions on the development path of ZIG Group, which was still prosperous in the stage from 2000 to 2005, and then it really gradually detached from the mainstream position of the domestic IT and semiconductor industry.

As for Zhao Weiguang, after being appointed as chairman, the new team brought with him has a vague understanding of the IT technology industry, which is basically a group of asset traders and real estate developers.

Xu Teng gave Zhao Weiguang a few suggestions, 1. Rebuild the team, as the boss does not understand the IT technology industry, it is a hard injury in itself, if the people below don't understand, in the end it is nothing more than a stock speculation company; 2. Have a long-term plan and play less capital operation; 3. Focus on chip design and supporting application system, and make a difference in the storage field.

At least in Xu Teng's view, Zhao Weiguang and ZIG Group are still a good big player, and if they can have proper guidance and insist on doing the right thing, they can still achieve something in the end.

In China, you can get money from the government, and you need tens of billions of support funds, which is a kind of ability in itself.

After talking for two hours, Xu Teng had nothing to say.

"If you don't have anything else to do, you can go, go back and think about it slowly. Xu Teng looked at the time and signaled that Zhao Weiguang could leave, he had other things to deal with.

"The chairman of the board of directors is really worthy of being the god of management in China, I am a teenager for you, and compared with you, the gap is too far, ashamed. Zhao Weiguang looked very painful and had superb acting skills, but he really listened to the clear path that Xu Teng pointed out to him.

Because the water in this industry is too deep, the Huayin Consortium does not know how many secrets there are in the global technology industry, and if it is not done well, it will undermine the strategy of the Huayin Consortium, and finally it will be targeted and suppressed.

Therefore, Zhao Weiguang knows very well that if ZIG Group wants to develop, wants to make a difference in this high-tech industry, and seeks a real return on investment with a high price-earnings ratio, it must listen to Xu Teng's arrangement and cannot continue to act recklessly.

For Xu Teng, Zhao Weiguang was very scared in his heart, and he didn't know how much capital Xu Teng had and how much layout he had over the years.

Zhao Weiguang even felt that the gap between him and Xu Teng was the difference between an earthworm and a golden-winged Dapeng, the Dapeng was a swallower, and there was no need to take a look at something like an earthworm.

He is an earthworm buried in the soil, who does not know the depths and does not know how terrifying the world is, like a blind man.

This is the gap between him and Xu Teng.

"The god of management is just a promotion from his peers, you don't have to take it too seriously, go back early." Xu Teng really asked Zhao Weiguang to leave, he wouldn't ask Zhao Weiguang to stay for lunch, there was no need for that.

Although he promised to inject capital into the ZIG Group, it was only a scale of billions, not even a holding, a normal financial investment, if Zhao Weiguang could lead the ZIG Group out of a way, it could also be included in the Huateng Industrial Consortium.

"Thank you for the teaching, then I won't bother you!" Zhao Weiguang is still very good-looking, a tall and dignified northern man, very imposing, but he didn't dare to pretend to be a big guy in front of Xu Teng, so he immediately got up and said goodbye.

Xu Teng didn't need to send him, just let the housekeeper Hua Lingling send this person out of the suite.

At this time, it was already 11:40 p.m., Xia Li was still working on the TV station to select songs, and the fourth phase of the competition recorded last night was probably a little aesthetically fatigued, or a mistake in song selection, and only won the fourth place, she and Jiang Yingyu were a little nervous.

Xu Teng estimated that the two would not return to the hotel for at least half an hour, so he used this time to have a video call with Liu Junsheng, who was in Italy, and CEO Stadler and Chairman Chen Zhixin, who had been in China, to discuss the acquisition of Chrysler by Ford Group.

It's a lot of fun.

Xu Teng's original plan was just to repeat the old trick and take the opportunity to blackmail the Fiat Group, but unexpectedly, the development of the situation was completely smoother than expected, and all walks of life in the United States hoped that the Ford Group would acquire Chrysler Corporation, rather than let the Italians succeed.

It will likely be a two-year battle, but one thing is for sure, Fiat has lost all possibility of acquiring Chrysler, and the cost pressure on Fiat to initiate a tender offer is too great in the face of the Ford Group, which is backed by a consortium of Chinese banks.

Of course, Fiat's situation is not very good, and if Xu Teng is willing to join forces with the Ford Group to send a heart-warming offer for the other party, an agreement may be reached within this month.

The Ford Group is not in a hurry and is willing to deal with the Fiat Group for a while.

After discussing with several partners, Xu Teng decided to start as soon as possible, make a quick decision, and make a direct deal on the basis of Fiat's current offer, without giving Fiat any room for regret.

Even in the short term, this seemingly overpriced offer could have an impact on Ford's share price.

The thinking of businessmen and entrepreneurs is often different, and this shock is exactly what Xu Teng wants, and they can continue to increase their stake in the Ford Group and wait until the higher price point to cash out.

At least in the next few years, Ford's stock price will rise, and it will rise very much.

Because no one can imagine how tragic the global oil price will fall, at the same time, the existence of the Baofuhua Automobile Alliance, through the cooperation between Huateng and Ford, the cooperative development of new platforms, B-class cars, hatchbacks, the integration of spare parts and auto finance industry, cost control and the value retention rate of old cars will reach new heights.

The acquisition of Chrysler and the long-term cooperation with the Volkswagen Group are the fundamentals of the long-term benefits of the Ford Group.

In order to convince the board of directors of the Ford Group, Xu Teng used the ten minutes before lunch to personally call Chairman Bill Ford to try to facilitate the matter, and when Xia Li and Jiang Yingyu returned to the hotel together, he happened to negotiate the $5.5 billion merger with Chairman Bill Ford.

If Dr. Lu calculates the data according to the parameters given by Xu Teng, Xu Teng will probably be able to earn an additional $2 billion in the next six months in ten minutes.

That's business, the value of a good business.

It turns out that operating in the financial and stock markets is always the best way to make money, and the Ford Group's net profit for a whole year does not reach $2 billion, and the corporate tax rate in the United States, which is now close to 35%, is nonsense.

With the labor of the United States, coupled with this tax standard, the car company can basically die directly, and Toyota, an enterprise that is extremely good at cost control, can build factories in the United States.

Ford, General Motors, the level of cost control is not as good as the U.S. local auto giants in the United States, in the domestic factories are better than living in the situation, in order to avoid taxes, the two basically transfer all spare parts purchase orders overseas, of course, Toyota is also doing this.

In addition to Ford and General Motors, other American manufacturing companies, even Caterpillar and high-tech companies in Silicon Valley, can run what they can, and what they can't run, just like Ford and General Motors, through overseas procurement of parts, to transfer profits to China, Mexico, Costa Rica, Ireland, ASEAN, and South America.

How did the huge trade deficit between China and the United States come about?

That's how it came about!

American workers are not easy to recruit, the maximum salary you can offer is 40,000 dollars a year, and you can't afford more, but in the United States, learning a little decoration skill is more than this amount a year, let alone selling marijuana, a simple, stable and easy business.

Xu Teng is telling the truth, the United States was already relatively full employment from 2012 to 2014, especially excluding those blacks who did not plan to find formal jobs at all, and the employment rate was too good to be good, but the original easy and decent good jobs of the American white class are gone.

In the 80s, an ordinary American auto industry worker earned about 30,000 yuan a year, and all kinds of social security plus it was definitely an easy and decent job, which is the so-called American middle class.

These jobs are really gone, and now they are sweepers, food delivery, waiters, security guards, salespeople, porters, drivers, ...... As long as you want to do these jobs, there are definitely a lot of them.

There are also good jobs, and there is a big gap, finance, lawyers, doctors, civil servants, IT, biomanufacturing...... Those American uncles in their thirties and forties only have a high school education, so they can't do it.

Halten Automobile Group now has an assembly plant in the United States, focusing on hatchbacks and compact B-segment cars, and sales are still good, but unfortunately the profits are meager, because profits are transferred to China and other low-tax countries through overseas purchases.

Xu Teng told the truth, the scale of today's global free trade development is very unfavorable to small companies, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises that do not have cross-border business and tax avoidance capabilities, which is very unfavorable, and this situation is still concentrated in the United States to a considerable extent.

In many cases, you just need to merge it up, quickly integrate it into the global system, and make a little bit of a move on the issues of profit shifting and taxation, and the original loss problem is not a problem.

Among the world's multinational enterprises, the Huateng Industrial Consortium led by the nine major industrial groups of Huateng, Huateng Electronics and Huateng Hi-Tech has risen the fastest, with an average annual sales growth rate of more than 12%.

Enterprises affected by the Huateng industrial complex, such as ABB, Alcatel-Lucent, Siemens, Fiat, Hyundai Motor, LG Chemical...... They're basically in the red.

This is a kind of trade-off shock, the growth rate of the global market is so small, the more share of Huateng industrial consortium occupies, the smaller the share of other multinational giants and small and medium-sized enterprises.

Businesses like ABB, Aaron, and Siemens can maintain a fairly good financial statement by transferring assets, patents, laying off employees, and even changing financial statistics, but how long can this situation last?

Ten years, or five years?

ABB tried to restart negotiations at the end of last year, but Xu Teng did not agree, because he calculated that even if ABB and Siemens, or Honeywell merged, it would not make much sense, just like Nokia wanted to acquire Alang.

Xu Teng took his children to the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Tanzhou for more than ten days, accompanying Xia Li, but he rarely went to the program group to visit the class, and spent most of his time in his study reading reports, analyzing data, and thinking about the changes in the global economy.

A year ago, at this time, Xu Teng was in the capital, actively negotiating to promote the integration of Chinese and Swiss industries, and he was disappointed.

A year later.

The data he got only showed one thing, the Silver Charm project was very successful, he didn't know what it was like at the level of the entire Swedish capital, anyway, he didn't regret the failure of the negotiations that time.

It's good to fail.

A few days later, Xu Teng left Tanzhou for Huzhou, almost living alone in Mahler's villa.

He has rarely come to Huzhou in recent years, and the most recent one was last year to talk about investing in a new chip factory and putting into production a production line with 20nm technology.

Huayin Consortium did not have 20nm technology in the past, and did not even do research and development on this side, but GF of the chip technology alliance was only one step away from a breakthrough at that time, and through the joint Samsung Electronics, Huateng GF-Samsung's chip technology alliance finally officially mass-produced 20nm double exposure technology this year.

The three parties are put into production at the same time, which makes it difficult to make money, but at least TSMC can't make money.

That's enough.

Xu Teng's arrival in Huzhou, at least on the surface, was to attend the commissioning ceremony of the factory, but in fact, Shi Lirong, the co-partner of Huateng Electronics Group, arrived very early, and Xu Teng did not need to come in person.

The real reason for his visit to Huzhou in person was to discuss the financial massacre of several major oil countries with the three co-partners, Carrie May, Li Daxiao, and AIG Chairman Verence Wotander.

At this time, Mei Jiali's status in China is much higher than in previous years, because her Fuxin Group has changed from a small bank with a history of more than 50 years in Hong Kong and Macao to a comprehensive European financial group company.

In the seven years from 2007 to 2014, Intertrust International successively acquired the European business of Cigna Insurance and State Street Global Investors, as well as the British Trust and Savings Bank and Standard Life Company, two old enterprises in the City of London, and since then it has completely become a very successful British Intertrust International Group, whose four major financial businesses of global trust and asset management, insurance, banking and securities are among the top 30 in the world, which can be called a smaller version of the Bank of America.

In terms of shareholding structure, Xu Teng's Huateng Company holds 14.34% of the shares of "British Fuxin International", ranking the second largest shareholder, and the British Phoenix Capital Company is the largest shareholder.

Strictly speaking, Fuxin International is more of a family-owned company of the Xu family than an international financial giant under the Huayin consortium.

Of course, everyone in the international capital market knows very well that Xu Teng controls the international financial giant, just as everyone knows that Xu Teng actually controls the AIG Group.

The domestic capital market, as well as many provincial-level leaders, are generally aware that in this regard, everyone can only say that The-ShunFamliy is The-ShunFamliy after all, and there is nothing impossible and nothing that cannot be done.

Over the years, the Xu family has developed step by step, and the general trend is very obvious to continue to internationalize and financialize, and finally control three international financial companies in China, the United States and Europe, forming a truly global Huayin consortium.

Domineering!

Therefore, a predator like Zhao Weiguang of ZIG Group who dares to roll in the domestic stock market is immediately like a mouse seeing a cat when he meets Xu Teng, and he can't be cowardly anymore.

Regarding the matter of going to Huzhou to meet Mei Jiali, Xu Teng did not hide Xia Li, because it would be guilty.

When he said this, he was also convinced that the history of himself and Mei Jiali was over, and it was only when they met that he realized that there were still thoughts in his heart.

He just controlled it very well, as indifferent as before, and didn't even have to focus too much on business, and listened a little casually and frivolously as Maycarrie, Wellens-Wotander and Li Daxiao reported their next plans.

Although in the global international financial and futures markets, all parties can guess that the Huayin consortium is the first to attack the major oil countries, especially the Big Five on Wall Street, is absolutely sure of this matter, but it is still very important that this kind of thing does not leave any evidence.

Even if Russia and Saudi Arabia suffer heavy losses in the future, in the face of Xu Teng, there is no absolutely reliable evidence to say anything, and if absolutely reliable evidence cannot be obtained, the two major oil countries of Tsarist Russia may only be suspicious of the entire Wall Street, rather than the Huayin consortium alone.

In any case, Wall Street has also made a lot of contributions, but it does not dare to fight to the death like the Huayin Consortium and The-ShunFamliy.

Xu Teng had to fight with all his might, because this was the last opportunity to make huge profits in the "future history" that their Xu family could master, just in the international oil futures market, the Xu family's bets had exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and the bets on the exchange rate and stock market were unprecedented.

From oil to commodity exporters, all within the purview of The-ShunFamliy's slaughter.

Xu Teng even believes that this will be the most unprecedented battle of his life, comparable to his World War II, the first being the subprime mortgage crisis.

So, leaving no evidence is the most important thing.

Everything is basically a one-line contact between Xu Teng, Mei Jiali, Li Daxiao and AIG Chairman Verence, no email, no phone calls, and face-to-face individual conversations.

All operations are carried out with the help of proxy investment banks and hedge funds.

This is the benefit of a family controlling an international consortium, the entire consortium must act for the interests of this family, in the end, if everything goes well, the Huayin consortium will get huge profits, and the vast majority of the profits will be swallowed up by the Xu family.

The situation is similar for the Big Five on Wall Street, where the profits of the Big Five themselves will not scare anyone to death, and the majority shareholders of the board of directors who really control the Big Five will make real windfall profits through thousands of hedge funds in the United States.

Compared to them, the Xu family is undoubtedly more powerful, because the Xu family does not need to share the control of the Huayin Consortium with others.

From 14 o'clock to 18 o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Xu Teng secretly negotiated with Li Daxiao, Verence-Wotande, and Mecarrie in the Mahler Villa for 4 hours, analyzing all the situations that may be encountered in the next six months.

When everything that needed to be discussed was discussed, the four of them fell silent for a long time.

They are the top four giants of the board of directors of the Huayin Consortium, controlling the core financial institutions of the entire consortium, not Shi Lirong, Tang Jun, Ma Zong, and Zhang Yaqin, these four are just the chairmen of the four major technology groups under the Huayin Consortium, and they seem to be high-powered.

They are accustomed to sweeping all profits in the international financial markets, and they have also experienced the thrilling subprime mortgage crisis of '08.

This time is different, they set off a real massacre, from foreign exchange to exchange rates, stock markets, futures, a real financial massacre, the entire OPEC, Russia, Brazil will lose trillions of foreign exchange, fall into a long-term economic depression, and the global economy will also enter a deeper period of difficulty.

Xu Teng knew very well that this was his massacre, at least hundreds of thousands, if not more people would go bankrupt because of his decisions, and many more would lose their jobs and die on the streets.

This is different from the subprime mortgage crisis of '08, which was unavoidable, and he completely created a new crisis, which is not inferior in scale and intensity to the subprime mortgage crisis.

The crisis he created.

From May '13 to February '14, Xu Teng's short selling in the international oil and commodity futures markets was staggering, forcing OPEC to take a unanimous decision to jointly hedge long-term oil futures sell orders.

This is the reason why OPEC established the Dubai Oil Futures Trading Center, refusing to hand over the decision on oil prices to Wall Street and the City of London, and when the supply of medium- and long-term futures sell orders for global oil is out of balance, they will buy it, and turn the oil that was originally sold in the futures market into spot in their hands.

If they control oil prices, they make a profit, hitting Wall Street, and if they don't, Wall Street will lose a lot of money.

For many years, Wall Street has not been so risky to be the enemy of OPEC as a whole, not to mention the fact that Russia and the world's major oil majors will be involved in the game.

Saudi Arabia and Russia think that Wall Street is operating behind the scenes, but in fact it is not, completely dominating and occupying them, unilaterally forcing them to take out tens of billions of dollars of foreign exchange to hedge short selling to avoid a long-term decline in oil prices.

The Xu family uses a highly leveraged approach to leverage the market, and OPEC also uses a highly leveraged approach to repurchase counterattacks, but in the end, it will be cashed out, even if both sides use a large number of financial derivatives to extend the trading cycle and reduce risks.

In the end, it's all about cashing in.

Saudi Arabia is still continuing to fight, relying on its amazing foreign exchange reserves, and it is not becoming conservative in operation, and in the next six months, the Huayin consortium will also fully intervene to short-sell with Wall Street on a higher scale...... Because Xu Teng has pulled out the market and opened an amazing betting market, a betting market that OPEC must lose, it is just impossible to determine how much OPEC will lose.

The next six months will determine how much OPEC loses.

Xu Teng even reserved 2 million barrels of spot and threw it out at a critical moment to interfere with the entire futures market, which is the last strategy, but he estimates that it will not be forced to this point, because in the process of comprehensive intrusion of international capital, the sooner OPEC admits defeat, the more controllable the loss.

This was originally a completely non-existent thing, and it was created by Xu Teng into a Middle Eastern-style Southeast Asian financial crisis, he just chiseled a big crack in the seemingly stable sand bank of the oil country, and the international capital that saw the profiteering space would automatically rush up like a flood.

It was a very smooth situation.

Conversely, if it doesn't go well, The-ShunFamliy and the Huayin Consortium will lose more than $300 billion in huge wealth, or even more, especially The-ShunFamliy.

It wasn't until half an hour after the conversation ended that Xu Teng, after a long silence, temporarily decided to change the arrangement of dining together in the evening, and informed the three co-partners in front of him, "That's it, at night, I want to be alone for a while." ”

Xu Teng still looks calm and indifferent, but whether it is Li Daxiao, Mei Jiali, or Verence Wotande, they all know very well how much pressure he is on.

If they lose to OPEC and oil countries, Xu Teng and the Xu family will lose at least more than 300 billion US dollars, even if they have only invested tens of billions of dollars in chips so far, the leverage operation will be cashed in after all, and the rules of the international capital market are as fair to OPEC and to the Xu family.

"Chairman, then we'll take our leave. Li Daxiao got up first, looked at Mecarrie and Verence Wotande, and motioned for everyone to leave together, so that Xu Teng could think about it alone, although it was too late to stop now, at least he could stop the loss.

"Carrie, Lieber, Chairman Waltander has come from afar, entertain me for me, and you must take him to eat an authentic Chinese hot pot!" Xu Teng still smiled very casually, got up to send them off, and sent them out of Mahler's villa.

A few minutes later, he quietly returned to the villa again, Xu Teng ordered a fruit salad in the study, accompanied by a bottle of Hennessy Richard cognac, and tasted fine wine and ate a few pineapples alone.

In the silence of the night, he could already feel the smell of bloody killing.

At this point, he gave too much and couldn't stop.

Over the past decade, The-ShunFamliy and the Huayin Consortium have invested in shale oil and gas in the United States, China, Argentina, and Australia on an astonishing scale, even upgrading the technology to an average of $50 per barrel to make a profit.

The biggest market for change is in China.

The domestic shale oil cooperation between FMG International Resources Group and Three Barrels of Oil has been secretly advanced for seven years, and if the market so requires, the Huayin consortium could suddenly announce more than a dozen shale oil and gas projects in China, including even a mega project with recoverable reserves of more than 300 million tons...... Of course, the geological structure of this project is relatively special, and the actual mining cost is not low, but in the communiqué, of course, some key data will be avoided as much as possible.

"Dr. Lu. Xu Teng activated Dr. Lu with voice commands.

"I've always been there, Chairman. "Dr. Lu was indeed there all the time, at least in the server in the study, and the LCD screen was activated, and the yellow-green wheat waves rose and fell with the wind.

"According to the latest data I gave you, what are the results of your calculations?" Xu Teng held his wine glass, wanting to hear Dr. Lu's opinion, although he had heard it many times before, he wanted to know the latest calculation results.

"I think in August of this year, the price of semi-annual international oil futures will fall below $70, and by December, it may plummet to around $40. Although there are too many variables to have accurate results, the probability that international oil prices will be completely dominated by financial forces after the balance between supply and demand is broken is very high, and I think that there is a probability of more than 74% that international financial capital will dominate oil prices for a long time. Dr. Lu gave the latest calculation results, a new round of calculations that ended dozens of seconds ago.

"There's no big difference between your analysis and before, and I'm not asking about it...... How many people do you guess will be displaced, dying of starvation and war?" Xu Teng didn't really want to think about it, but he couldn't help but think about it.

He was never a soft-hearted man, nor was he a sick man, he just felt that this kind of maneuver was really too bloody, and that at least five or seven countries would probably be on the verge of financial bankruptcy because of it.

He doesn't care about the world and humanity as people think, but he is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as people speculate, and every day, there is always a moment when he looks at his children, worried that they will grow up and ask him if those tragedies have something to do with their father.

"I refuse to answer this question, my job is not to protect humanity, but to protect The-ShunFamliy. This is probably the first time that Dr. Lu has officially refused to answer Xu Teng.

"Hmm?" Xu Teng was actually a little surprised, looking at the LCD screen, but he didn't think too much, after all, this is the result of Dr. Lu's continuous deepening of learning every day, and it is becoming clearer and clearer what is the real protection.
