money trouble

Chapter 715 Prepare with both hands!

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, your will is unpredictable, and you may become a tiger that devours people at any time, but those enemies who stare at "you" are not like tigers, they are also intimidating.

Woodward is eager to help his boss do great things and make a lot of money, but he is really afraid of being involved in some unpredictable vortexes. If he is such a flat boat, he might be smashed to pieces by the waves.

"Woodward, I'm also scared, but I'm even more excited. I'm looking forward to this mission. We have to trust the boss, he won't let us down, you have to have this confidence!"

Barbara loves money, loves money like life, and the opportunity to make a lot of money is in front of her eyes, so it is absolutely impossible for her to give up.

Even if a group of people are chasing her with Gatling, she will drive a sports car while operating financial transactions until she completes the task and gets her reward.

"It seems that we should also find bodyguards..."

Woodward looked at the small windows on the screen, let out a heavy breath, and continued.

"Recently, the price of international crude oil has been in a steady and falling trend. I guess those big oil-producing countries can't sit still. The boss may have learned some news that we don't know from certain channels. It is estimated that the oil-producing countries The production cut is imminent, and the boss intends to do more in the U.S. crude oil market to make a profit..."

Woodward analyzed with reason and evidence.

Barbara took out a delicate mirror to take a look at her makeup, took out a lipstick to touch up her makeup, and said with a smile: "Woodward, the boss praises you for thinking, but don't think too much. If you are so sure of guessing what the boss is thinking, why don't you play with a few million?"

Barbara was ready. She decided to bet $100 million and went crazy with her boss. Such a small amount of money was not even a drizzle for Wu Qian's layout, and it had nothing to do with the overall situation.

Woodward smiled awkwardly, remembering the last time that he lost hundreds of millions of pounds to his boss because of his own cleverness. He didn't follow up. The bolder he was, the younger he was, so he wouldn't go crazy with Barbara.

"Have we not finished what the boss ordered us?" Seeing that Woodward was silent, Barbara turned to ask about work.

Woodward's face froze, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, Barbara, you reminded me in time... The boss asked us to open [-] US crude oil trading accounts from different countries. But I think, don't blame me for thinking too much, I think With this amount of funds, twenty accounts are far from enough..."

Futures trading pays attention to leverage, just like the last time he traded Brent crude oil, Wu Qian took out 20 billion pounds, and through very conservative leverage allocation, it became 350 billion pounds.

A principal of 200 billion U.S. dollars, even if it is the most conservative leveraged capital allocation model, ten times is not too much, if 2000 billion U.S. dollars is only scattered in 100 accounts, each account is [-] billion U.S. dollars, it is too tempting People are paying attention.

Pa, Barbara closed the mirror, put it in the bag, placed her slender fingers on the mouse, and said, "Since you have thought of it, what are you waiting for? Let's start..."

In order to avoid suspicion, when opening the account, Barbara and Woodward contacted Rosalind, and like last time, they implemented the whole process of monitoring, which is a very necessary monitoring method.

After working until 30:[-] p.m. Solan time, Woodward and Barbara finally took care of everything. A total of [-] accounts were opened from more than [-] countries.

If such a workload is handled by a professional hedge fund, at least ten professional traders must be arranged to operate it, but for the sake of confidentiality, it is impossible for Wu Qian to involve so many people.

In order to ensure that each account is valid, Woodward and Barbara used each account to trade a minimum order amount. After the transaction of 3000 accounts was completed, they actually made a small profit of more than [-] US dollars.

"Boss, Barbara and I have completed the preparations, but instead of opening [-] accounts as you said, we opened [-] accounts. After all, the amount of funds is too large. If the funds are too concentrated, they will be too conspicuous. "

"At the same time, the test is also completed, and there is no problem with every account."

Woodward called to inform Wu Qian of his work progress.

"Very good. You and Barbara have a good rest and keep the communication open. I may contact you at any time. Don't delay the matter. If you feel struggling, call Fimiller. He can help you at critical times."

Wu Qian made a request.

After finishing the call, Rosalind, who was dealing with remote monitoring, put away the equipment and said: "Boss, your short-selling move this time is very risky... Even if the talks between Maoziguo and Saudi Arabia collapse, and the capital suppression of 2000 billion US dollars, It still lacks a certain amount of strength, and there are too many uncertain factors.”

Not only Kuretta was worried, but Rosalind also felt that the feasibility of the whole matter was too small. BOSS wanted to challenge the entire national market by itself, and it was the largest economy in the world today. Easy things, it's not bad if you don't get cut...

Rosalind was originally investigating the coat of arms in Switzerland, but was transferred back by Wu Qian. The investigation has been suspended. She personally visited several ancient private banks, but found nothing.

Three people become tigers, and it doesn't feel like a person talking about Wu Qian, especially Kuretta is an old industrialist, and his judgment on the financial market may not be as good as him, but Rosalind also said the same, which made him He hesitated a little.

Wu Qian looked at Rosalind seriously, frowned and thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and made a call to Yao Xinlu who was still handling the acquisition in Germany.

He wanted to ask someone who specialized in economics.

Germany was an hour earlier than Solan, and the call was connected in a short while. At this time, Yao Xinlu had just taken a shower and was working overtime in the bedroom. The acquisition matter was nearing completion.

"Lulu, let me ask you something. Don't tell anyone. Just say that the international crude oil price continues to fall. Saudi Arabia hopes that Maoziguo will reduce production to stabilize oil prices. Maoziguo definitely disagrees. Under such circumstances, the crude oil market is Isn't it bound to fall?"

On the phone with Woodward, Wu Qian also exchanged some pleasantries, but when talking to Yao Xinlu, he didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries, and went straight to the point.

Yao Xinlu took off her glasses and said: "If all other factors affecting oil prices are not favorable, the crude oil market will definitely fall, but the room for falling is limited."

Wu Qian nodded thoughtfully, and said: "It means that if you want to stimulate the price of crude oil to fall, you need to announce bad news from multiple parties at the same time. That's right."

"That's right." Yao Xinlu replied, she knew that Wu Qian was definitely planning to do something, so she answered as simply as possible.

"Okay, I understand, MUA, go to bed early, finish your business with ThyssenKrupp and find me in the United States, and I will leave the day after tomorrow."

Wu Qian happily hung up the phone.

Rosalind pretended not to see or hear anything, and looked out the window intently.

"Your reminder is indeed reasonable. Apart from Maoziguo and Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iraq also have certain influence. If the United States suddenly has a brain attack and reduces shale oil production, then Maoziguo may also let go. Production reduction, wouldn't that kill me? These are all unstable factors..."

"What I have to do now is to eliminate these unstable factors. Yes, there is a way! Rosalind, help me check the financial situation of the US shale oil exploration company. It is not very good to find that kind of financial situation, but The scale is not small!"

It was as if a bright light suddenly lit up in the brain.

Rosalind was instructed to quickly type with her fingers on the keyboard, and at the same time, she was thinking about the intention of the BOSS for this information.

"I found out, BOSS, Davie Energy Company in Delaware, the United States, with a market value of 46 billion US dollars, is currently the world's largest independent crude oil and gas exploration and production company. The company's executives held a press conference three days ago, clearly stating their position Crude oil prices are extremely burdensome for companies."

"I found here...David Energy is now in debt of 30 billion US dollars, mainly because it bought an oil field with a daily output of 80 barrels in the Permian oil production area half a year ago, but according to the data, David Energy Energy has not brought out the capacity of the oil field at all, I am afraid it is limited by the cost of extraction..."

Rosalind's work efficiency is very high, which is why Wu Qian wanted to transfer her back.

For more than ten minutes, Wu Qian had already understood the basic situation of this company called David Energy.

"It's him!"

Wu Qian patted his thigh, then raised his wrist to look at the time, and dialed the phone number on the other side of the ocean happily.

"Minister Ross, I wonder if my call will bother you."

Wu Qian said happily, full of joy.

Minister Ross had just received a visitor from South America. He was a little surprised when he received a call from Wu Qian. The two had agreed to meet in New York in a few days. Why did they suddenly call again, but he was still very polite.

"Mr. Wu's call won't bother me at any time. What's the matter with Mr. Wu?"

Wu Qian said with a smile: "That's right. Recently, I am particularly interested in energy business, especially the shale oil industry that can replace conventional crude oil. It makes me seem to see the future. To be honest, I want to invest or acquire a company Rock oil exploration and production company, I wonder if Minister Ross has any good recommendations in this regard?"

Minister Ross had just left the living room. He stood in the corridor and almost jumped up for joy when he heard Wu Qian's words.

According to the latest statistics from Wall Street, the corporate debt of oil and gas companies in the entire United States is close to 9000 billion US dollars. This is a very dangerous figure. Now this debt is being borne by investors who buy bonds.

However, due to the generally low rate of return on shale oil, investors have already complained. If investors can't bear it, once they start selling, it will be a new round of debt crisis.

At this time, a fat lamb jumped out and wanted to invest in shale oil. The Minister of Commerce was simply not beautiful.

Obviously very excited, but still have to suppress the emotions in my heart, which is very hard.

Minister Ross cleared his throat and said, "Investment in energy is of great importance. If Mr. Wu intends to invest, he can consider the bonds issued by our country for oil and gas companies."

Wu Qian let out a sigh of regret, and then said: "Minister Ross, this is not what I want. I have been paying attention to the crude oil companies in the Middle East and the oil and gas companies in your country. To be honest, the kowtow machine It's too corny.

In my opinion, the exploitation of shale oil has huge room for development. I am looking forward to investing in a shale oil company to seize future business opportunities. Well... I learned that an oil and gas company called 'David Energy' seems economically Some difficulties, I wonder if Minister Ross can contact you for help? "

Minister Ross's enthusiasm was extinguished by half. His idea was very simple. Let Wu Qian directly invest in the debts of oil and gas companies. In this way, he used the money to fill the debt vacancy without any actual power, which is super awesome.

But it is obvious that the other party is not stupid, and he will not do things that only pay money but have no real power.

"Mr. Wu means he wants to directly invest in or acquire a mining company, doesn't he?" Secretary Ross asked.

Wu Qian nodded and said, "That's it. The future of shale oil is the future of industry, technology, and human beings. I want to participate in this great cause and make a contribution."

When Wu Qian said something high-sounding, even Rosalind wanted to applaud her.

Minister Ross also blocked it in his mind for a long time before omitting Wu Qian's compliments. He walked towards his office, thinking calmly.

The U.S. government’s policy dividends for oil and gas companies are very considerable, including tax cuts and tax increases on foreign crude oil. He is unwilling to let a Chinese man take advantage of the U.S. government.

Seeing that the other party had been silent, Wu Qian walked to Rosalind, looked at the information of the "David Energy" company on the screen, and said.

"Minister Ross, I am very sincere. As far as I know, the market value of 'David Energy' is 47 billion US dollars, and the company has 30 billion US dollars in debt. I am willing to buy it at a price of 30 billion and repay the debt of 30 billion US dollars. .”

"I don't know if such a condition is worthwhile for Minister Ross to help me contact the 'David Energy' company for consultation."

Minister Ross pushed open the door of the office. He had contacted eight hundred international businessmen, if not one thousand, but he was the first one with such arrogance as Wu Qian.

He has heard a little bit about David Energy Company, a small oil and gas exploration and production company, is indeed not doing very well, especially the recent drop in international oil prices has made things worse.

Minister Ross does not know whether the director of David Energy Company intends to sell the company, but he thinks that if he intends to sell, Wu Qian is a perfect taker!
"Even though thousands of miles away, I can still feel Mr. Wu's sincerity. I promise you, Mr. Wu, I will contact the director of David Energy in person immediately."

Minister Ross really couldn't think of a reason to refuse. In his opinion, this is a typical person who is stupid and has a lot of money. Although he knows that Wu Qian can't be really stupid, it seems stupid to do so...

It doesn't matter if you are stupid, as long as you have money.

"Okay, looking forward to the good news from Secretary Ross."

After finishing speaking, Wu Qian hung up the phone.

"Minister Ross must think that I am a fool with a lot of money, but I am really looking forward to contributing to the shale oil industry in the United States. If I successfully take over David Energy, I will definitely increase mining efforts and maximize the potential of the oil field... ..."

Wu Qian muttered with a smile, picked up a bottle of wine, removed the cork and blew directly into his mouth, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, showing that he was in a great mood.

Rosalind left the boss's room with a smile. She already had a general understanding of the boss's plan. It's not very clever, and there may be unexpected gains!
