Chapter 281: The undercurrent is surging
"You, young one."
This old man, affectionately known as "Mr. John" by the outside world, saw the arrival of Chen Weidong and Chen Jie, and rubbed the coffee-colored cane in his hand energetically, and seemed to be very interested.
At this time, he was already over eighty years old, and the years had left too much exhaustion on his face.
Even so, he still works six hours a day and is the de facto owner of many of the Rockefeller family's estates
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. John!"
Chen Jie also changed the appearance of a prodigal child in the past, and shook hands with the other party very solemnly, fully expressing the low-key and humble attitude of a group of juniors.
even wanted to take a photo with the other party with the camera, and when the time came, it would definitely be a big deal when it was put on the Internet.
What headlines will the media make?
Capital successor?
The grip of the century?
The Rockefeller family is a well-known family in the United States, and it is also a great family that countless people yearn for.
They are not only financially powerful, but also politically powerful, and are among the five richest families in the world.
John Rockefeller Jr. continued the power of his family heir and led the Rockefeller family to continue to dominate the business world.
Unfortunately, the prominence of each family did not last long.
Although the Rockefeller family is still brilliant, it has never been able to match the glory of its predecessors.
The wealth of the family as a whole is no longer as rich as it was in the early twentieth century, but it is undeniable that as the family continues to grow, the power of their union is still not to be underestimated.
"You're the same young man who defeated Soros a few years ago? I have to say, you do have a lot of courage."
John Rockefeller Jr. looked Chen Jie up and down in good spirits, as if he wanted to find something different from him.
A few years ago, Western investors hunted Southeast Asia and crushed the currencies of one country after another, but in the end, when they sniped at the financial center of Xiangjiang, they encountered unprecedented strong resistance.
In the end, it ended with a big defeat on Wall Street and a stop-loss for European funds.
This financial war without gunpowder has shocked the world.
And Chen Jie, one of them, has naturally become the focus of countless institutional investigations.
However, when people got his first-hand information, they were shocked.
Such an ordinary young man who can no longer be ordinary, a gambler who was collected by the gang not long ago, and an "illiterate" with only a high school education, actually defeated a group of Wall Street elites!
It's a ridiculous joke!
The financial industry is easy to get started and difficult to master, and high-level financial confrontations are not won by luck, which involves a large number of actuarial and comprehensive analysis of information and social aspects.
However, the other party seized the opportunity at the most critical moment and gave them a fatal blow.
"Shit luck!" They can only scold, and it is impossible for them to admit that they lost to a novice who became a monk halfway, and it must be all due to luck.
But in the eyes of some people, they don't think so.
Among them, including the old man in front of him.
"Mr. John, you won the prize, and I just stumbled by mistake." Chen Jie laughed, once in his lifetime, fortunately he made the right bet.
"Luck is also part of strength, let alone a young man like you who has suddenly risen." The old man smiled slightly and praised sincerely.
As a pivotal figure in the world's capital, he certainly knows that a large part of the reason why he can have his current status is that he was born in the Rockefeller family.
And the young man in front of him, who does not have such a background and resources at all, can achieve such dazzling results today, which has to be said to be a miracle.
"I think you did everything to show me, didn't you?" The old man withdrew his deep gaze and turned his head to look at Chen Weidong next to him.
"I can't hide it from Mr. John."
Chen Weidong nodded directly and acknowledged.
Even though John Rockefeller Jr. was old, his vision was even more vicious.
All their behavior on the first and second floors, Rockefeller guessed with only a little thought.
"Little one, you're the best trader I've ever met, but since you said you're a short-term speculator, I don't think you're here today just to get my attention, right?" The old man sighed at Chen Weidong's youth again, and motioned for them to sit down on the sofa next to him.
Gris, the personal assistant, knocked lightly on the door, pushed the door in, and placed two cups of steaming coffee on the coffee table in front of them.
Then, he stood quietly behind the old man.
"Mr. John, it seems like you're not in a good mood, but perhaps, I can bring you some good news." Chen Weidong looked at the old man in front of him and said calmly.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
The old man's face did not make any waves, as if he was talking about whether the weather was sunny today.
From the beginning of the new energy crisis to the failure of the acquisition of Northern California Solar Energy, John Rockefeller Jr. has been acutely aware that some crises are quietly approaching.
At the end of the day, the Rockefellers got their start by monopolizing oil.
The emergence of new energy, if it is not in their hands and dominated by them, it will be a terrible thing.
What this means, no one knows better than them.
Will the Rockefeller family, who has been rich for six generations, continue its past glory after his death?
It was like a shadow that kept haunting him and keeping him awake at night.
"What if I said that in three days, the price of crude oil would soar to more than $30?"
"More than $30? This..... Absolutely impossible!"
The old man was shocked, but then shook his head and said very firmly, "Unless...... Another Gulf War."
The Gulf War was a war launched by a multinational coalition led by the United States against Iraq in 1991.
Only this time, the United States was authorized by the UN Security Council.
In a way, this is a legitimate war.
"I don't know if there will be a war, but judging from the global energy crisis, some countries will do whatever it takes to start a new round of war for energy, Mr. John, do you think I'm right?" Chen Weidong leaned on the sofa and said slowly.
Even Chen Jie, who has always been sluggish for half a beat, heard Chen Weidong's off-string sound, secretly tightened the suit on his body, and leaned forward slightly and sat up straight.
"I think you're right, but so what?"
John Rockefeller Jr. naturally heard who Chen Weidong was talking about "some countries", and at the same time he did not deny the correctness of this view.
But who knows when the war will happen?
Even if they are the Rockefellers.
Of course, it is impossible to admit it.
"Little guy, if you are here for this matter, then I am afraid it will be in vain, the price of oil is very stable, and it is unlikely that there will be large fluctuations in the short term."
As the old man spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face, as if he was laughing at Chen Weidong for being too young to understand the rules of the game in this world.
Chen Weidong did not defend himself, but continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter if the war breaks out or not, but recently, has Mr. John discovered a situation?"
