Lauren Mullen is a speculator who regularly trades London crude oil futures.

On this day, he looked at the latest issue of the newspaper, and then couldn't help but exclaim: "I never expected that M would really do it to Y!! ”

"And, as soon as possible, send a fleet to block the other party's oil outlet to the sea!"

"Y is an important oil producer in the Gulf region, its oil and gas resources are very rich, with underground oil reserves of 143.1 billion barrels, about 20.4 billion tons, accounting for 9.6% of the world's total reserves, and the total reserves of long-gauge oil rank second in the world! This war will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in Iraq's oil production, which will lead to a surge in international crude oil prices!! ”

Lauren Mullen was so excited that this incident would be an opportunity to make a lot of money, so he immediately opened the trading software and went long crude oil futures!

In Lauren Mullen's view, M is a world power, but Y is also a regional power, with strong strength, known as the third most powerful military power in the world at present.

M is so far away to find trouble with Y, which will only make Mei fall into a quagmire.

As a result, Lauren Mullen speculates that this oil crisis will last for a long time.

In fact, this is also the opinion of the vast majority of people.

The first hit the third, no matter how drip it has to fight for a year or two.

At present, the multinational force headed by M is still deploying troops, and there are still three or four months before the actual operation.

International crude oil prices are rising.

By October, the price of crude oil had risen to $40 a barrel.

At this time, Zhao Ye decisively ordered someone to sell all the crude oil futures worth $12 billion!

Next, the price of crude oil will basically not rise much, once the United States moves, it is almost devastating, and only 40 days later, the so-called world third will collapse.

Soon, the price of crude oil will fall from $40 a barrel to less than $20 a barrel.

At this time, there are countless international investors have entered the crude oil futures market, and there are countless receivers, and in less than a few days, all the crude oil futures held by Wujiang Group have been settled.

This transaction alone has made Borderless Group earn more than $11 billion!

But that's not the end of it.

Since Zhao Ye knew that the price of crude oil would plummet soon, he naturally wanted to go short with his backhand.

Therefore, immediately afterwards, Zhao Ye ordered someone to short crude oil futures, who would have thought that the old beauty and the old man would be awesome, and playing the third place in the world would be as simple as beating a kindergarten child, and it would be solved in a few clicks.

Many international investors and investment institutions believe that the United States will be stuck in a quagmire and will not be able to end the war in a short time, so crude oil prices will continue to rise.

Wujiang Group's short-buy list was robbed by many people.

This time, it is still invested 2.4 billion US dollars, using 5 times leverage, that is, 12 billion US dollars, and the layout must be completed in the next two months.

It can be said that once the $12 billion short selling order is completed, then the biggest short in the crude oil futures market is Wujiang Group.

This wave of contrarian operations may make many people fall through their glasses.

At 0:00 on October 3, East Germany officially joined West Germany, and Germany re-became a unified country!

When many people saw this news, they were slightly surprised.

But for the Borderless Group, it is very important.

In order to help the former East German region develop its economy and improve the welfare of the East German people, the German authorities announced that the exchange rate between the East German mark and the West German mark would become 1:1, and the mark would become the legal currency of Germany and be called the German mark.

"Notify Tang Yingwu and officially launch an acquisition offer to West Zeiss!!" After reading the news of the reunification of the two Germanys, Zhao Ye said to Liu Yinyin on the side.

"Okay, boss." Liu Yinyin replied in a low voice, and immediately walked outside and took out the phone to contact Tang Yingwu.

"Manager Tang, hello, I'm Secretary Liu Yinyin, the boss instructed me to immediately launch an acquisition offer to West Zeiss!"

"Okay, Secretary Liu, I know, I'll do it right now!!"

"Hmm!"

Liu Yinyin hung up the phone, then walked to Zhao Ye's side and reported to him.

Zhao Ye nodded, and continued to concentrate on writing code on the computer.

Seeing this, Liu Yinyin quietly withdrew from the office.

Germany is home to the world-famous three giants of optics: Leica, Carl Zeiss and Schneider.

After World War II, Zeiss was divided into two, and East Zeiss was actually acquired by Wujiang Group, and it was impossible for Germany to take back East Zeiss from Wujiang Group.

Moreover, since East Zeiss was acquired by Wujiang Group, it has received a lot of support, and now, East Zeiss is getting better and better, while West Zeiss is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now that Germany has been reunited, the merger of East and West Zeiss has become the vision of many people.

The acquisition of West Zeiss by East Zeiss would be the best outcome.

In addition, ZEISS employees have a strong desire to merge the two companies.

Under such circumstances, it is expected that the German government will have no choice but to agree to this.

West Zeiss quickly accepted the offer and there were no objections as long as the price was right.

Three days later, Tang Yingwu and East Zeiss formed a negotiation team and started negotiations with West Zeiss.

East Zeiss's parent company, Wujiang Group, has deep pockets and directly said that it will wholly acquire West Zeiss.

The shareholders of West Zeiss actually want to exchange shares.

However, Zhao Ye disagreed.

With the full support of the Borderless Group, ZEISS will be able to achieve remarkable results in four business segments: Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology, Industrial Quality & Research, Medical Technology and Consumer Optics.

On November 15, Tang Yingwu and others finally negotiated with West Zeiss, and East Zeiss acquired West Zeiss for 800 million marks, almost worth more than 2 billion US dollars. This is a premium acquisition, otherwise the shareholders of West Zeiss would not easily sell their shares.

Now all it takes is the approval of the German government.

German government.

"Wujiang Group wants to buy West Zeiss, what do you think?" Roger Bowen looked at the other councillors and asked.

"I think it's better to agree, instead of letting West Zeiss go bankrupt, it's better to sell it to East Zeiss! After all, ZEISS is our German company, and now that East and West Germany are unified, it is time for the two ZEISS companies to merge together! Congressman Noah Doyle suggested.

"I don't agree, Zeiss is our century-old German optical giant, and if you want to sell it, you can only sell it to us Germans!" Someone immediately objected.

When Noah Doyle heard this, he pouted and said: "Wujiang Group has acquired East Zeiss, what is the meaning of your remarks!" As long as ZEISS still has a factory in Germany, and as long as the name ZEISS is still around, people will always remember that ZEISS was founded by Germans! ”

Many people couldn't help but nod secretly when they heard this.

Noah Doyle adds, "The intention to merge East and West Zeiss is very strong, and the employees are very excited and looking forward to it. If we do not agree to this acquisition, I am afraid that there will be a backlash from public opinion. Now, when we have just been reunified, but we explicitly prohibit the merger of East and West Zeiss, does it mean that we are actually opposed to the reunification of the two countries? If this is misinterpreted by the media, I am afraid that it will cause instability among the people in East Germany. ”

As soon as these words came out, they were very reasonable.

"What Noah Doyle said makes sense, I think we can approve the acquisition of West Zeiss by East Zeiss! In addition, as far as I know, the Borderless Group has a large number of East German marks, which have appreciated 4 times since the exchange rate change, and are now worth at least tens of billions of dollars! I mean, with so many marks in Germany, why should we offend a company with so much wealth? How nice would it be if they could convince the Borderless Group to invest in Germany!! ”

After a pause, Congressman Joshua Cowper smiled, "And right now, isn't this just an opportunity?" We can agree to East Zeiss to acquire West Zeiss, but Wujiang Group first wants to ensure that Zeiss factories in Germany cannot be easily shut down, and secondly, it requires Wujiang Group to invest all the East German marks worth tens of billions of dollars in Germany! The reunification of the two Germanys, the appreciation of the East German mark, the Wujiang Group can be regarded as taking a big advantage, and the Wujiang Group should make a little contribution to Germany's economic development, what do you think? ”

When everyone heard this, they all opened their mouths to echo.

On the morning of the next day, the German side made clear its attitude to Tang Yingwu and others.

Tang Yingwu immediately relayed to Zhao Ye the conditions of the German government.

Zhao Ye pondered for a moment, smiled, and said, "Okay, I agree to the other party's request!" ”

In Zhao Ye's view, this is not a loss, isn't it investing in Germany, Germany's economy is strong, and the return on investment is high.

If the opportunity arises, it is also possible to acquire a number of German companies.

Or set up a research and development center in Germany.

And it can also import talents to China.

……

Tang Yingwu told the German government what Zhao Ye meant the next day.

The German government then happily approved the acquisition of East Zeiss by West Zeiss!

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, East Zeiss and West Zeiss held a press conference, at which it was announced that the two companies were officially merged!

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation.

However, most ordinary people rarely come into contact with Zeiss products, and the popularity comes and goes away quickly. But in the industry, many optical companies have a strong sense of crisis.

At this time, even Zhao Ye couldn't help but feel excited. The optical giant Carl Zeiss was actually acquired by himself, which was almost unbelievable in his previous life.

After the acquisition of West Zeiss, Zhao Ye found that this is really worth it, West Zeiss has a large number of technical personnel and advanced technology patents, which can complement East Zeiss, which is no longer 1+1=2, but far more than 2.

The fact that Zeiss was able to quickly return to the top in the 90s of the 20th century in the previous life was undoubtedly the result of the merger of East and West Zeiss.

Zhao Ye immediately began to write about the future development direction of ZEISS on the computer, with the help of ZEISS's technological advantages, following the development path of the previous life, it is expected that the probability of success will be very high, that is, the four major business segments of ZEISS: semiconductor manufacturing technology, industrial quality and research, medical technology and optical consumer goods.

However, Zhao Ye also added some new business segments to Zeiss: one is optical fiber, and the other is special glass.

Special glass, not only touch screen glass, but also many glass with special purposes.

SCHOTT Glass, a subsidiary of ZEISS, is an expert in this area, even better than Corning's technology in the United States.
