": Thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend Si Kou, the ethereal sword, and the pride day. I am grateful to forgive the knife to deceive this pocket. Three monthly passes given by Flare and Snake Power. Thanks to the book friend Bi Xinqiao and Zhonghua Raul for the big reward. There are a lot of things, and time is always tight, so I didn't express my gratitude until Imagya. I ask for your understanding. There are a lot of interesting facts in the crew of "The Endenger". For example, there are two pairs of twins in the crew, one is the Linda Hamilton sisters, in the kindergarten of Sarah's dream in the film, the Sarah who is smiling and holding the child, is actually played by Sarah's twin sister Leslie, Hamilton. The two of them also worked together in the Terminator 2 finale, with Linda playing the fake Sarah and Leslie playing the real Sarah. The other pair is the fat policeman in the insane asylum in the film, he was later killed by Xia and Qu, and in the middle of the film, Qu becomes a fat policeman, and at this time, the two people in the same picture are not computer stunts, because they are also twins. Cameron used this method to solve what many people consider to be high-tech. Many of the supporting roles in the film are actually not actors, such as Cameron's younger brother, who was mentioned earlier, made a cameo appearance as a soldier in the opening credits. And that Cameron's Japanese friend, who has to play a bad guy who is affected in a shootout. Arnold's economic man makes a cameo appearance as one of the doctors who visit Sarah. The fat policeman who was ordered to jump off the helicopter is a jishu member of the crew. And the actor who plays the guard of Sipotin's company is the action coach of Edward Fulong, who plays John.

"Although the investment amount should be sufficient for now, I can't rule out the possibility that we will need to add it in the future, so I can save some money. Besides, people are very interested in being able to show their faces in the first movie in the history of Shijie to reach a $100 million investment, so I can't refuse Cameron's casual answer. This saves costs and pleases the crew, and if you don't do it, your head will be in water.

With the addition of Fang Mingyuan, the filming speed of the crew of "Terminator 2" has accelerated a lot. But the crew members often see a strange scene, Fang Mingyuan danced to Cameron, and then the two argued fiercely, and then the shooting process of the next set of shots was determined. And also in the process of shooting. Cameron sometimes pays attention to Fang Mingyuan's expression to decide whether to reshoot. This is a big gossip for the crew members of "Terminator Phenol".

James and Cameron in the nineties, although they can't be called the Hollywood "tyrants" who were said to be the same in later generations, but the basic characteristics have gradually been revealed. This is the so-called easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. After these days of filming, these crew members have not learned his bad temper. So I was particularly surprised that Cameron could tolerate Fang Mingyuan's interference with him during the filming process.

Actually, if you talk about a different one. People come, then the Cameron he is facing is the prototype of the "tyrant" in the minds of everyone, but in the face of Fang Mingyuan, Cameron is extraordinarily tolerant. Because from the beginning of the two acquaintances, when discussing the script, Cameron has a vague feeling that Fang Mingyuan's thoughts, thoughts, and ideas often speak to his heart, making him feel that it is what he has always wanted to show, and it is also something that is in line with his directorial style, it is like borrowing Fang Mingyuan's mouth to say those things that he has been thinking about, but have not yet formed specific content. This feeling made the conversation between Cameron and Fang Mingyuan have an indescribable sense of pleasure. It's as if as soon as you mention it, the other party will immediately be able to think of a satisfying ending.

And after several cooperation on the shooting site, Cameron is even more firm in his idea, and he is also sure that his conjecture is that as long as there is an assistant director who can understand and perfectly implement Fang Mingyuan's ideas, Fang Mingyuan can also be qualified for this position of director, and he will do better than 80% or 90% of Hollywood directors.

In Cameron's words, that is, Fang Mingyuan was born as a director, in his mind. It's like having a big screen, the movie shots to be shot have an extremely clear picture in his mind, and all he needs to do is to make these actors in reality match this picture. In this regard, Fang Mingyuan was first afraid. Later came the sweat. This one's observation power is too fierce, and he can judge so accurately, and the cow man is really the cow man.

But it is precisely because of this that Cameron can be said to regard Fang Mingyuan as his confidant in the film industry, and the relationship between the two has always been very harmonious.

And later generations found that in addition to the films he wrote and directed in Cameron's life, there were many screenwriters for Fang Mingyuan, and the box office was quite good, including some masterpieces.

During this period, Gower and the senior executives of the Emerald Bird Film Company often appeared on the scene of the crew, and they also had a few seemingly casual conversations with Fang Mingyuan, but in fact they had other intentions, Fang Mingyuan realized that it seemed that the Emerald Bird Film Company was going to make some big moves in the near future, and it was very likely to have something to do with him, but what it was was couldn't be judged for a while.

However, Fang Mingyuan, who has Michael Clayton's adaptation rights in hand, is really not worried about what tricks Emerald Bird Film Company can play. Michael Clayton's best-selling in the United States is no less popular than the best-selling leadership book in China among civil servants, but Michael Clayton is small, and people are willing to buy it, but they have to buy it.

Any Hollywood film company will never miss the opportunity to win the small adaptation rights of Michael Clayton, unless the Emerald Bird Film Company wants to shoot and break up after the filming of the "Terminator Scene" is completed, otherwise, it will definitely not be able to play any tricks that really endanger their own interests. Therefore, Fang Mingyuan was happy to sit and watch the changes.

Mitsuri Uda finally achieved her wish and showed her face in "Terminator Robbery", and Cameron also took special care of her and gave her a few close-up shots to impress the audience. Moreover, she did not receive her so-called sponsorship fees. For this result, Uda Mitsuri is naturally very satisfied. During this period, Fang Mingyuan also took out the script of "True Lies" and handed it to Schwarzenegger, who was very fascinated by it. And then, according to Cameron later, it was Schwarzenegger who came to him excitedly with the script, saying that the character was very interested and wanted Cameron to see it. At that time, although Cameron knew that this was Fang Mingyuan's script, he was still very surprised, because he had never seen Schwarzenegger so fascinated by the characters in a script, so after reading the script. Cameron decided to agree to take over the directorship.

In these days, Fang Mingyuan has met many Hollywood stars under the leadership of Cameron, and has obtained autographs from many people.

On 17 June, that is, after Fang Mingyuan had been in the United States for almost half a month, under the repeated urging of Yu Qiuxuan in Hong Kong, Cameron, who had repeatedly retained him, reluctantly sent them on the plane to Hong Kong. Mitsuri Uda stayed in Hollywood, where she would return to Japan on her own.

Fang Mingyuan, who arrived at the Hong Kong airport, received the poisoning of the Guo family's hao in the autumn, and in the crowd, Guo Ye Shan Feifan was waiting for him.

"Crude oil, also known as black gold, is a viscous, dark brown and sometimes green-colored liquid. Huaxia is the first country to discover and apply oil on Shijie, as early as nearly a thousand years ago, Shen Kuo, a famous scholar of the Song Dynasty, came out of the prefect of Yanzhou. During his tenure, he discovered and investigated the oil deposits and uses in Luyan. And left a large number of written materials, and today we call "oil", the word "oil" is also used by him.

However, due to China's policy of closing the country to the outside world since the beginning of modern times, China's scientific and technological level has lagged far behind that of Western countries. Not only has it been slow to discover large-scale crude oil fields within the borders of the country, but it is also far behind Western countries in the utilization of crude oil! The middle-aged man standing in front of Fang Mingyuan and Old Man Guo said sadly.

This middle-aged man is Yu Dongfeng, a Chinese futures trader specially invited by Mr. Guo from Singapore, and he can be regarded as a distant side branch of Yu Qiu's home. Although he is unknown in China, Yu Dongfeng is well-known in the futures industry in Southeast Asia, and he has repeatedly made huge profits in rubber, oil and other futures contracts in recent years. If it weren't for Old Man Guo personally coming forward to invite him, he wouldn't have been invited to personally lead a team to operate for Fang Mingyuan and Old Man Guo. Today, because of Mr. Guo's request, Yu Dongfeng will systematically explain the knowledge of oil futures to Fang Mingyuan and Mr. Guo in simple terms.

Fang Mingyuan knew that mankind officially entered the oil age in a certain year in the late nineteenth century. throughout the year. The proportion of oil in the primary energy consumption structure has reached 40 percent, while the proportion of coal, which was originally the dominant powerhouse, has dropped to 38 percent. This marked the end of the steam era and the beginning of the internal combustion era. The growth in oil demand and the expansion of oil trade are due to the large-scale use of oil in industrial production. Before World War I, the oil produced by Shijie countries was mainly used for lighting, and the United States and Russia, the main oil producers, were also major consumers. However, in World War I, the strategic value of oil has been initially revealed, and because of its high combustion efficiency and lightness, it is of great strategic significance for the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the armies of various countries. By the twenties of the twentieth century, global oil demand and trade expanded rapidly as oil became the driving force of internal combustion engines. And it has become the most important part of petroleum energy.

Petroleum is the "blood of industrial production" and an important strategic material, which is not only the main supplier of shijie energy, but also an indispensable and important raw material for shijie material industry and agriculture. Without oil, the development of these industries, as well as those associated with them, would be fatally threatened. In order to protect their own interests, Shijie established the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, abbreviated as OPEC, in 1960, with its headquarters in Vienna, the capital of Austria. OPEC oil reserves account for nearly 50 percent of Shijie's total reserves.

"Due to the oil crisis that occurred in the early seventies of this century, it had a huge impact on the Shijie oil market, and the price of oil fluctuated violently, which directly led to the generation of oil futures. Since the birth of oil futures, its trading volume has been showing a rapid growth trend, and has now surpassed metal futures, which is an important part of the international futures market. Oil futures are standardized contracts formulated by the exchange and stipulated to deliver a certain quantity and quality of oil at a specific time and place in the future, and are a trading variety in futures trading. It may be simply understood as futures on items with forward oil prices as the underlying item. Crude oil futures are the most important oil futures varieties, and other oil futures varieties include heating oil, fuel oil, gasoline, and light diesel oil.

Fang Mingyuan and Old Man Guo listened intently, and recorded from time to time. Although the two have invested a huge amount of money in the oil futures market, they really don't know much about oil futures. And for some time, neither of them is one of those people who has a lot of spare time, so they don't have much time to learn more about oil futures.

Professional things should be handed over to professionals, and it can be said that the behavior of the two is very perfect to illustrate this sentence. Old Man Guo just informed Yu Dongfeng of Fang Mingyuan's "idea" and asked him to complete the task in strict accordance with this idea. As for how Yu Dongfeng arranged it and how he achieved his goal, Old Man Guo didn't ask a word at all.

Yu Dongfeng observed Fang Mingyuan while explaining. Of course, Old Man Guo is very familiar to him, but the young man who just appeared here today is a little incomprehensible to him. Judging from his age, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the grandchild of Old Man Guo. But judging from the conversation between the two, although this young man's respect for Mr. Guo is from the heart, the relationship between the two seems to be equal.

Yes, when he found this, Yu Dongfeng was also quite surprised, Mr. Guo has been in charge of the Kwok Shipping Group for decades, and in the Kwok family, he has a supreme position in Hong Kong's shipping industry that cannot be doubted, a young man who does not seem to be even twenty years old, but he can talk to him on an equal footing! Who is this young man? To be honest, Old Man Guo's request for Dongfeng this time made Yu Dongfeng a little confused. In his view, with the armistice of the Iran-Iraq war between Iraq and Iran, also known as the First Persian Gulf War, at the end of '88, the Gulf region, which had been permeating the Gulf for nearly eight years, finally saw the dawn of peace. During the Iran-Iraq war, oil production and tanker transportation in the Gulf region have finally been on the right path, and the price of oil in the Shijie futures market is gradually falling significantly, from $21 per barrel in January to $16 per barrel today, and the oil production of OPEC members in the Gulf is also rising. However, at this time, Mr. Guo believed that in the second half of the 90s, in August and September, the international price of oil would soar once. He had to follow this line of thinking, carry out futures operations, and buy a large number of oil futures.

This capital has a natural speculative demand. This does not vary from country to country depending on the political system. After doing futures for so many years, Yu Dongfeng naturally understands that the use of the oil futures market can attract a large amount of capital on the one hand, so as to provide the first impetus for the development of the petroleum industry; On the other hand, by using the futures market, traders can avoid the negative impact of international oil price fluctuations on the one hand; On the other hand, it is also possible to obtain more benefits from market price fluctuations through speculative trading. In a regulated market, speculative behavior should be strictly supervised and managed, and speculators obtain normal economic benefits under the condition of strictly following the trading rules, and supervision and management make speculative behavior a tool for regulating the futures market. With the participation of speculators, the trading volume of the futures market increases, and the market supply and demand can also be better regulated.

But! This does not mean that the oil futures market is a pure free market, in fact, many times, on the surface, everyone is trading freely, in fact, it is controlled by the international large fund buyers, and the unspoken rule is to buy low and sell high, seeking huge profits. In various commodity futures markets, in order to achieve the purpose of controlling the price of commodity futures and thus creating excess profits, those international speculators will create, fabricate, fabricate and speculate all kinds of so-called "news", which is just like the reasons that those on the stock market find for speculating on stocks. Any kind of commodity, any listed company can find the corresponding old "... Message or subject. And any event that we feel is unbelievable or incalculent, or out of reach, as long as it is needed, he will discover, transform, arrange, and disseminate. These remodeled incidents have become powerful weapons for them to control prices, manipulate the market, and make huge profits. The futures market is undoubtedly the same, Yu Dongfeng thinks. Was Old Man Guo also affected by some news to make such a decision.

It is true that the recent Gulf region has been in a state of bitter quarrel between Iraq and Kuwait over the price and production of oil, the territorial dispute between the two countries, and the Iraqi debt in Kuwait's possession. However, Yu Dongfeng did not think that Iraq had the courage to launch a war against Kuwait as openly as it did against Iran. Iran was attacked by Iraq, ostensibly because of a territorial dispute between the two countries, but fundamentally because of the ambitions of their leaders and the fear that Iraq and other Arab countries would spread to the surrounding region about the armed regime that emerged from Iran's February Revolution. The United States also played an important role in this: it armed Saddam Hussein and supported his offensive into this disputed region, in an attempt to contain the Iranian regime, which had just come to power through revolution and was strongly anti-American. Several factors were mixed together to create the Iran-Iraq war, which lasted for nearly eight years and brought heavy losses to both countries.

However, Kuwait is one of the Arab countries, politically close to the United States, close to Saudi Arabia, during the Iran-Iraq war, provided a large amount of aid to Iraq, Iraq's attack on Kuwait will undoubtedly cause the United States and other Arab countries in the Middle East to be extremely dissatisfied, Saddam Hussein should understand the key to this, this will only make him the target of public criticism.

As long as there is no large-scale war in the Gulf and Middle East, or catastrophic natural disasters**, which affect the oil exports of Arab countries, then Yu Dongfeng does not see that the price of oil in the Shijie market will rise in recent months. Even, oil in the Middle East could bottom out at $12 a barrel.

Mr. Guo's futures trading has a high probability of becoming the biggest wrong investment in the old man's life.

Yu Dongfeng didn't mention this to Old Man Guo, but every time, Old Man Guo patted him on the shoulder with a smile and expressed his heartfelt thanks for his concern, but he didn't change his mind at all.

In order to minimize Mr. Guo's losses as much as possible, Yu Dongfeng has been quite cautious in buying futures contracts since he took over, and has done his best to avoid what he thinks are risks in the future.

So now in July, the huge amount of money prepared by Fang Mingyuan and Old Man Guo is still nearly one-third stronger.

Although Fang Mingyuan said that he didn't understand the specific operation of futures contracts, he could see that the trader that Mr. Guo was looking for was quite disapprehensive of his own assumptions, thinking that this was a wrong operation. Therefore, when acquiring futures contracts, it is more cautious to act. Fang Mingyuan was not angry at Yu Dongfeng's approach, because he knew that even in his previous life, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait also shocked the whole world. Almost everyone thought that the Iraqi war was impossible when Iraq occupied Kuwait. Even the heads of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council misjudged the situation and were deluded by Saddam's illusion. Even Kuwait, the invaded country, thought that Iraq would settle the dispute between the two countries in the form of negotiations. So it's not surprising that Yu Dongfeng can't see through this.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a reborn person, I am afraid that at this time, he would be the same as him, and he would only think that the price of shijie oil would gradually decrease. In previous lives, this was indeed the case, even because of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, which caused the price of Shijie oil to skyrocket, OPEC expanded production in a short period of time, re-stabilized prices, and brought them down again. Fang Mingyuan wants to seize this opportunity to make a lot of money to meet the needs of the Fang family's future development. Such a rare opportunity is not something that can be encountered if you want to encounter it.

Originally, he planned to make a profit from the collapse of the Soviet Union, but after all, it was still far from now, and there were many things in between. What's more, Fang Mingyuan has one. Wonder, can the collapse of the USSR be postponed for one or two years. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, although the Cold War had ended and the United States obviously had the upper hand, the United States was still quite afraid of the Soviet Union, which was bigger than a horse. It was precisely after the collapse of the Soviet Union, due to Yeltsin's vigorous implementation of the "new economy" policy, which caused a marked decline in Russia's national strength, that the Americans shifted their attention to China.

In the years that followed, although China and the United States were able to maintain peace, friction incidents continued one after another, such as the "accidental bombing" of the embassy, the collision of planes in the South China Sea, and the sale of arms to Taiwan. Its intention to curb China's rise is obvious.

If the Soviet Union can support it for two more years, in order to prevent the Soviet Union from resurrecting, then the United States will have to maintain good and stable relations with China in order to prevent China from going to the Soviet Union. With these two extra years, perhaps the future history of China will be very different from Fang Mingyuan's previous life! This one. The idea came out very accidentally, but once it came out, Fang Mingyuan found that it had a great attraction to him, he no longer thought about the kind of life in his previous life, and watched the US fleet show off its might at the doorstep, even a small Philippines, took Huaxia seriously.

If that were the case, the opportunity to make money from the territory of the Soviet Union might have to be postponed, and this time the opportunity could not be missed.

With the substantial expansion of economic development on energy demand, oil is not only a basic energy source today, in addition to the risk promotion of futures and commodity pricing function has a preservation effect on national wealth, oil futures and oil futures market has been given more meaning, become a tool for developed countries. In a sense, oil is no longer just a pure commodity, it has too many financial and political factors. It can be said that in the future, the power of oil pricing will be the manifestation of a country's international status and comprehensive national strength. Yu Dongfeng, who stopped, drank again, "Next, I want to talk to the two of you about the risks in futures trading." ”

Old Man Guo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this Yu Dongfeng never forgot to remind himself that he was worried about this operation. In fact, at the beginning, Old Man Guo's worries were not under him, but as time passed, some of the clues mentioned by Fang Mingyuan had appeared in the bay, which made Old Man Guo more confident in Fang Mingyuan's vision.

It can be said that this is a big gamble, and if the guess is lost, the development speed of Kwok's Shipping Group will inevitably be affected, but it will not affect the status of Kwok's Shipping Group in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asian countries; If the bet wins, then this is a chance for Kuok's Shipping Group to take off! Maybe he can take another step to the next level, spread the routes all over the world, and become a shipping group company that is also well-known in Shijie.

With such a big gap between risk and return, how could Old Man Guo not be tempted? ，
