Chapter 375: Slack
γAnti-theft Sticker Chapterγ
The Hearst family mansion is not far from Simon's estate, and Simon and Janet are at their destination in less than five minutes' drive.
It was also a manor with a large area, and as soon as the car stopped in front of a quaint villa, the waiter quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
When Simon and his wife got out of the car, they could already see the large number of people in the villa hall.
It's just that outside the villa, except for the waiters, there is no host who is responsible for welcoming guests. The two glanced at each other, and Janet leaned over with a smile and whispered, "Maybe it's on purpose." β
Simon saw that a guest who had arrived earlier was led to a parking space by the waiter, and there were guests coming from behind, so he didn't stay outside the door for long, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and walked directly to the villa with Janet.
The two stepped through the door of the villa and looked around.
In the lobby of the villa, there were about 20 guests chatting in groups of three or five, including faces that Simon knew, such as New York Mayor David Dingkins, who spotted Simon and his wife at a glance.
Since the Hearst family is a die-hard supporter of the Democratic Party, it is not surprising that David Dingkins is here.
Simon didn't see the host's figure, and when he saw David Dingkins and the few people who had just chatted with him, he smiled and greeted him.
David Dingkins also came with his wife, and the two greeted Simon and his wife, and introduced: "Simon, let me introduce you, this is Mr. John Gutflond, the chairman of Salomon Brothers, and his wife, Lisa. β
Salomon Brothers is a well-known Wall Street investment bank on a par with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in this era. To be precise, the current Salomon Brothers company is stronger than Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
Of course, that's just for now.
Simon reached out and shook John Gutfreund's hand, saying, "Nice to meet you, John." β
"Hello, Simon, I've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. John Gutflonde was also very polite, let go of Simon's hand, shook Janet again, and said, "Hello, Lady Westeros." β
Janet shook hands with Gutflonde and said with a smile, "Just call me Jenny." β
After everyone introduced and greeted, David Dingkins looked around and said, "I remember that William was still here just now." β
John Gutflond seemed to suddenly notice this, looked around as well, and said, "It seems that Tom Murphy has arrived, and they seem to have gone next door." β
Tom Murphy is the Chairman of the Met/ABC Group.
Simon could roughly guess what Hearst and Murphy were going to talk about, and said, "I'll just wait." John, David, what were you guys talking about?"
David Dingkins didn't continue the topic just now, the Hearst family can snub the young super-rich, he didn't help slap the amateur capital in the face, and said: "Oh, what do you think about the 'New World Order' project that the president has been pushing lately, Simon?"
Prior to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait at the end of July, the United States ambassador to Baghdad personally promised Saddam that the United States would not interfere in the dispute between Iraq and Kuwait.
However, when Iraq succeeded in occupying Kuwait, the Bush administration immediately forgot what it had said, and not only did it quickly launch the 'Desert Shield' plan to confront the Iraqi army within a week of the outbreak of the Kuwait war, but then Bush Sr. began to lobby his own plan for a 'new world order' at the United Nations, calling on the United States and European countries to send troops to the Middle East in order to maintain the stability of the world oil market, drive the Iraqi army out of Saudi Arabia, and further destroy the Saddam regime.
At this time, other guests in the hall came over after discovering Simon, and when they heard David Dingkins mention the war in the Middle East, they temporarily dispelled the idea of going forward to greet Simon, and listened attentively to what the young man would say.
Cersei Capital has relied on the operation of the crude oil futures market to earn unusually huge profits for most of the past six months, and the guests at the scene naturally know that some of them are investors of Cersei Capital. If Westeros can reveal some 'golden' information, they will definitely make it to the end of the night.
Simon's gaze swept over everyone lightly and said, "I think this war is probably inevitable." β
Another guest in the crowd couldn't help but ask, "So, Simon, do you think the price of oil will continue to rise?"
Recently, the international crude oil price has approached $40 a barrel, basically reaching the highest point in Simon's memory.
"There should be a little more, but I heard that the White House is planning to open up the federal crude oil reserve to stabilize oil prices, and the plan may be finalized in the near future. β
Simon's argument is entirely recent newspaper news, so someone retorted: "It is said that there are only 20 million barrels, which is not even a week if the federal oil consumption is calculated by millions of barrels per day." β
"The key is to stabilize the situation," Simon said, shrugging his shoulders, "and besides, I haven't paid much attention to this lately." β
