Chapter 49: Arrival in London

(The new January has begun, I hope you can support a lot, the current results are really not good...... Thanks to the wolf tooth for the reward of the reproduction brother, thank you. )

Although the process was tormenting, when Chen Mo really endured the temptation, he couldn't help but have a sense of respect for himself in his heart. He did not succumb to his desires, he held on to his thoughts, and he held on to the bottom of morality. Although this did not bring about any change, he felt that his soul was still pure.

Although Emilika's temptation failed, she was more gentle with Chen Mo. In this Chinese man, she found many excellent qualities that are worthy of respect. It's a pity that the time, place, and reason why the two met can't allow them to continue to develop, otherwise, Emilika would definitely pursue this boy. She knew that she was really a little tempted.

Hopping on a large cruise ship from Flåm, Chen Mo and his family didn't want to go too far, but the best place to visit the entire fjord on a cruise ship is the best place. In the morning, we boarded the boat and entered the Sognefjord from Ayulandsfjord, then visited one of the most scenic fjords, and then disembarked and changed to the boat that turned back, which was both leisurely and worthwhile.

Itinerary Emilika and they all have experience, and when they got back to Flåm, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and then drove all the way back. There was no further delay on the way back, and when the lights were on, Chen Mo and the others returned to Bergen.

However, in Bergen, the ** here still needs a day and a night to test the machine, so they still have plenty of time. Early the next morning, they were accompanied by personnel from the oil and gas service company and drove to Stavanger, Norway's fourth-largest city, not far south of Bergen.

Of course, this time they are not for tourism, but because another self-elevating ** is produced and installed here, although there are technicians to track the progress, but Minister Xue, the supervisor, always have to encourage the technicians, refuel, and have an intuitive understanding of the production progress.

Stavanger is the most famous city of wooden houses in Europe, the world's largest sardine manufacturing base, and the city of the oil industry. Not far from Stavanger, the Lysefjord is also one of Norway's most famous attractions, the Norwegian Miracle Rock and the Breckelst, also known as the "Pulpit".

Breckelström is a straight cliff with a large platform at the top of the cliff that looks like it had been cut out by a knife, and the edge of the cliff is the Lysefjord. Standing at the top of the cliff, Lysefjord lies quietly beside you, as if you are floating in the air, and you can feel the vitality of nature strongly.

However, although the introduction is very charming, only this time Minister Xue refused to go again, he had been there once, and he really couldn't muster the courage to go again if he had to walk on the cliff for five hours.

If he doesn't go, of course Chen Mo won't go alone, let the leader work alone, and run out to play by himself, which is something that can't be done no matter how close he is. There are also some colleagues from the technical department here, and if this news gets back, his reputation will be ruined.

Minister Xue didn't force him, he brought Chen Mo out with him this time, and overall, he was very satisfied. He didn't slack off in front of him because he was Kang Xuedong's godson. No matter what you say or do, although you still have a childish spirit, you know how to hide and be willing to learn from others, and you can calm down, no matter on any occasion, you have never lost face.

Especially after a night of romance the night before, he can also be treated as his own intimate person. You can learn if you don't have enough experience, but if you can't be a person or do things, then you have a hard relationship, and you won't take him out next time.

The ** built here at the Stavanger shipyard, although smaller, is planned to be built earlier than those two**. However, due to the continuous discovery of oil well information, this ** has also been redesigned many times, resulting in a slower progress.

Since it was not built, Minister Xue did not even go in to visit. After arriving in Stavanger, the contract was re-signed with the other party to change some aspects of the design, and at noon we had lunch with the technical staff of CNPC, and in the afternoon, we returned to Bergen.

After the identification of technical personnel, the first stage of the test was finally completed. The staff will disassemble some delicate equipment, load and seal the ship, and the huge ** skeleton will be towed to the designated location by a large tugboat.

And there is nothing to do with Minister Xue and Chen Mo, because the people in the technical department will always follow this **, until the trial production stage, their work will be completed.

After arranging all the work, the oil and gas service company arranged a sumptuous seafood feast before sending Minister Xue and Chen Mo on the flight to London.

Chen Mo didn't know what kind of gift Minister Xue had gotten, but before he went through airport security, he knew that he had gotten one of Norway's most prestigious sweaters and a scarf. Emilika knew her hobby, and this scarf and sweater were plain, which made Chen Mo very satisfied.

Since the gift was accepted with the permission of Minister Xue, Chen Mo also had no worries, there was still a difference between enterprises and government agencies, as long as it was not a matter of principle, it was difficult to avoid small favors and small favors.

Started from home last Saturday and it's the weekend today. Although I knew that I went to London at this time, I couldn't do anything big. But neither Minister Xue nor Chen Mo was willing to stay in the deserted Bergen, preferring to spend the next two days in the international metropolis of London.

Chen Mo has always remembered his investment project in his heart, and he has long been anxious after being delayed in Norway for so long.

When Chen Mo was studying abroad, London was just a huge international city in his impression, and although he stayed in the UK for a year, he was not as familiar with London as Paris. Because even if he went out to play on the weekend, he always went to Paris to find Li Shan, and then the two of them spent two days in the streets of Paris.

However, after joining the company, all sources showed that Paris was just an ordinary city in their industry. The influence and status in the industry, not to mention compared with London, but also compared with Hong Kong and Singapore, are also far behind.

London is not only the world's largest foreign exchange market, but also the world's largest secondary market for gold, non-ferrous metals and other commodities, and crude oil futures trading, second only to New York.

Australia's steel, China's tungsten wire, Middle Eastern's crude oil, Zurich's gold, South America's grain and oil, almost all the world's commodities will be controlled or affected by this market.

Here, tens of billions of dollars are traded in oil futures every day, which is much more than the spot crude oil produced every day in the world. If we add in the trading volume of trading markets around the world, the daily trading volume of the futures market is more than 400 times the amount of spot. It is precisely because of such frequent transactions that this market has become extremely large.

So don't say that Chen Mo's 20,000 US dollars, even if 200 million US dollars are invested, it will not cause any waves.

But at the same time, the market is extremely closed, and if you are not a member of this industry, even if you have the wealth of Bill Gates, it is just a dish on someone else's table.

Because here, the rules of the game are set by the members, and whoever wants to play must follow the rules. No matter how rich you are, can you be richer than the invisible rich people in the world combined?!

As a result, it's the craziest market in the world, and in many ways, it's even more influential than Wall Street in the United States. Because the main role of Wall Street is in stock agency, equity investment. In addition to these, the foreign exchange market in New York is not as large as here, although there are more gold spots than London, but gold futures are mainly in the London market. There is also non-ferrous metal trading, grain and oil trading, all of which surpass New York.

However, Wall Street's influence is not limited to this, because in addition to New York, they also have the Chicago Board of Trade second only to London is also controlled by them, coupled with the huge market capacity and creativity of the United States, which has caused Wall Street's strong position in the world.

And the European and American markets have gradually merged in modern times, and the tentacles of Wall Street have long been extended to all corners of the world, so although the London market has a great heritage, it is always Wall Street that is in the limelight.

In London, CNPC has a large number of expatriate personnel, and more than 100 people from various departments have been stationed in London for a long time, so as to grasp the information and respond to the market from all aspects.

The team here is also the second largest after New York, which is not as big as New York in terms of crude oil trading. But for Chen Mo, not to mention London, even the agents in Hong Kong can't look down on his current 25,000 US dollars.

Therefore, Chen Mo did not expect London to trade at the beginning, in his heart, following the company's traders, he could operate on the Singapore Exchange. But Kang Xuedong arranged for him to come to London, and he couldn't find a way, so he had to come here.

If you want to trade crude oil futures, it is not as simple as most people think. Retail investors like Chen Mo, who have no industrial support, are difficult to obtain any trading qualifications, and if they want to trade, they can only use member agents, and the terms of the guarantee bank will be relatively harsh.

The most important thing is that even if you have obtained the membership, whether you want to open a position or want to pledge, you will face the phenomenon that no one recognizes, that is, you cannot find an opponent who is willing to sign a VAM contract with you.

Futures, options have one of the biggest differences from stocks, that is, stocks are anonymous when they do not reach a certain level. It's like buying a commodity, as long as it's in stock, you can buy it, and when the goods are low, you may add money to give it to you first.

Or to put it another way, stocks are like you go into a casino lobby and you can play with anyone, even if no one plays, you can play with the dealer.

But futures are different, whether it is futures, futures or options, you need to find a counterparty. It's like when you enter a VIP room, the exchange is equivalent to a casino, just organize the game, take a rake, you have to find an opponent to play with, and the game can begin.

With Chen Mo's current ability, he can only entrust his colleagues in London to hand over his investment to them to operate, and he must pay a certain fee in accordance with the industry rules.
