money trouble

Chapter 757 Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem

On the smiling face A380, Wu Qian chatted with the technicians of many technology companies about the future development direction of artificial intelligence, completely forgetting about the unhappiness that happened at the airport.

Although he doesn't know much about technical issues, it doesn't prevent him from proposing various interesting ideas.

The boss is like this. He only needs to tell his subordinates what he wants. As for whether he can achieve it, it is a matter for his subordinates to worry about.

It wasn't until Rosalind whispered a few words in Wu Qian's ear that he bid farewell to many scientific and technical personnel, then walked to the study room and turned on the computer screen.

In Orlando, the debate on the Futurama theme park in the Disney parks started as scheduled. After nearly a year of competition, only six of the original 20 candidates from the democratic faction remained.

The few remaining candidates gathered in "Future World" and launched a heated debate on the future of the United States. They analyzed and elaborated on their own political opinions and viewpoints, but they were absolutely not blunt, and the atmosphere at the scene was very active.

Facts have proved that people still need to have a certain amount of self-confidence. In previous debates, Karma Harrison's lack of confidence caused her to be a little indecisive, and her opponents grabbed some details and attacked her, which led to her failure in the debate.

But in this debate, Kama Harrison seemed to be cast by magic, as if she was a different person, her tongue turned into a sharp sword, and she was full of eloquence, facing four or five competitors at the same time. In the case of her opponent, she didn't panic at all, and responded with various humorous words, earning enough attention and popularity.

Kama Harrison threw out all the politics she stood for, and she also raised a new issue, which was the new energy issue.

Regarding the current difficulties encountered by the US shale oil industry, Karma Harrison said that if she is elected, she must resolve the crisis caused by the international crude oil price war within a month.

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar at the scene.

We all know how huge the impact of this round of energy price war initiated by OPEC and Maoziguo is. The people at the debate are extremely knowledgeable, and they fully understand how difficult it is to solve this crisis.

Even Mr. Poulang, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast of the debate, showed a strange look. If anyone wants to quell the energy price war as soon as possible, then it must be Mr. Poulang.

The United States has a great influence in the international market, but it is not the United States. The think tank around Mr. Prang will not be able to think of an effective solution to the problem for a while. They want to raise the international oil price without harming the interests of capitalists. , It is indeed too difficult, this game is intricate.

Mr. Prang offered a terse assessment of Kama Harrison's rhetoric.

"Bullshit, bullshit!"

In fact, it is not difficult to raise the price of international crude oil, but in the process, it will damage the interests of many people and have a complex impact on the overall economic situation. How can we solve the problem while reducing the impact? It is difficult.

Kama Harrison didn't know that she was being sprayed by Mr. Prang from thousands of miles away. When her opponent asked how to solve the oil price problem at the debate, her answer caused the audience to boo.

"Increasing production and facing price pressure is not to be afraid to retreat, but to face up to difficulties. Only in this way can we usher in a bright future. If not, the shale oil industry will soon become a victim of this energy price war!"

"At the same time, it is also necessary to increase the technical research and development of shale oil collection and refining, so that it can touch more fields around us and have higher value."

It cannot be said that Harrison's remarks are unreasonable. After all, shale oil is only a relatively reliable energy source discovered in the process of human exploration of new energy sources. It has not yet fully replaced the ability of traditional oil. If it wants to occupy a place in the future, at least not Lost in the current price war, otherwise talk about the future.

In any case, Kama Harrison became the brightest candidate in the Orlando debate. points, but the flaws do not conceal the virtues.

The complete opposite of Harrison's performance is Jordan. After encountering the "landslide incident" and "subordinate scandal", Jordan seems to have aged a lot, and his performance in debates cannot be described in general terms. poor.

The words are not sharp enough, the thinking is not sharp enough, not to mention attacking the opponent's loopholes, and even keeping up with the rhythm is a bit difficult. It can be seen that the previous two events have had a great impact on him.

The campaign team next to him scratched his hair, wishing he could not replace him on stage to participate in the debate.

Jordan didn't know that it was his clumsy performance that saved him.

If Jordan's performance is as good as in previous debates, the staff around Kama Harrison will break the news on the Internet about a series of things including Jordan's daughter taking contraband a few years ago.

It goes without saying how bad the impact of the actions of the candidate's children is. At that time, I am afraid that no one will need to challenge Jordan, and he will choose to end this campaign.

After the debate was over, Jordan returned to the hotel dejectedly. For the first time in a long time, he felt physically and mentally exhausted. Just after taking a few pills, he received a call from Conrad.

"Mr. Jordan, after our inspection, there is no suspicious person on Mr. Wu's plane."

Connard wisely chose to protect himself and decided not to stand with Jordan, because he saw Jordan's poor performance in the debates. Connard, who had witnessed five or six election debates, knew that his old Boss, it's over.

Jordan sighed slightly, didn't say much, and hung up the phone. He knew in his heart that maybe the day he died, he would never see Lauren Kelly again.

Veteran politicians who have been in politics for 50 to [-] years have felt the coldness of the world when the wall is overthrown by everyone.

At the end of the debate, Wu Qian turned off the computer screen on the smiling face A380. This was the second time he watched the presidential candidate debate. The first time was the debate video of the last general election he found some time ago. The fierce competition between the two representatives of the faction made him feel very enjoyable.

Just as Wu Qian turned off the screen and was still reminiscing about the performances of the candidates in the debate, Rosalind walked into the study with the communication equipment on the plane.

"BOSS, Ms. Harrison's call."

Wu Qian stood up and took the phone from Rosalind. After answering, he said with a smile: "Ms. Harrison, congratulations, I believe that in a few hours, every major newspaper will see 'Ms. top democratic faction' message."

"All of this is inseparable from your support, Mr. Wu..."

The two were polite, and Wu Qian said: "A few days ago, the U.S. Department of Energy contacted me and talked about the increase in shale oil production. Recently, all oil and gas companies in the U.S. are under great pressure, but the plan to increase production will not be postponed. I expect International crude oil prices will fall further..."

"But don't panic. When you face off against Mr. Prang, the international crude oil price will definitely rise beautifully."

Wu Qian said firmly that he has enough ammunition in his hands, that's how confident he is.

Harrison is well aware of the terrible price that will be paid to raise international crude oil prices under the current circumstances.

If more than 1000 million short positions are slowly cashed out, it will take a few months (WTI supports automatic position transfer to the next month, and there is an inventory fee), it is hard to imagine how much money you can make, but if you sell them in a short period of time , will inevitably lose a great deal of vested interests.

"Mr. Wu, this loss will definitely be made up for in the future."

Knowing that talking between people can save some links. Although Wu Qian did not say that there will be losses, since Harrison has already thought about it, she must express it. She knows that there is no free lunch in the world.

Wu Qian smiled and said: "If you and I can get what we want, what does it matter if we lose 800 billion US dollars? The future will be discussed in the future, and the immediate matter will be settled first. Although we won the battle within the faction , the real war has not yet begun, so don’t take it lightly.”

In order to forcefully raise the international crude oil price in a short period of time, Wu Qian’s short positions cannot achieve full profit at all. As the selling pressure increases, the price will definitely rise, but the cost price of the short position remains unchanged. , There must be some short orders that cannot make money, or even lose money.

As Wu Qian said, money is used to do things. If Harrison can succeed, it doesn’t matter if he spends some money. Although he verbally said "loss", in fact he just "earned less".

Harrison gasped after hearing Wu Qian's words. Even with her knowledge, she couldn't keep calm about the figure of [-] billion. She sighed secretly, this favor is really too great.

It's a pity that there is no way. If you want to win the general election, you must show some real results. The rise in crude oil prices and the recovery of the shale oil industry are also real results!
"Remember, even if crude oil prices continue to fall during this period, you have to sing about shale oil, and keep making comments to the Energy Bureau, so that everyone knows that you are working hard on this matter! That's it, there is something Let the Ten of Spades come to me and we minimize direct contact."

The two hung up the phone with their own concerns.

Wu Qian can only help Harrison so much. As for the final result, no one can predict. After all, Mr. Prang on the throne is also very powerful.

Maoziguo is cold in winter, and Nizhny Novgorod has been covered in snow. At the international airport, without accident, Wu Qian still received a high-standard reception from the Sergey family.

On the way to Sergey's manor, the Rolls-Royce of Flame Heart Blue stopped for a while, and Connie, who was hiding in the mezzanine, got out of the car and set foot on the land of Maoziguo. She was wearing a suit that had been prepared for her Since then, she has a real identity that belongs to her.

After a simple night's rest, Wu Qian didn't stop too much, and the smiling face A380 took off again and flew directly to London, England.

After being away for too long, Wu Qian missed his parents a little bit, and wanted to get together with the old couple. As for the various instruments and equipment on the plane, as well as scientific researchers, they would continue to fly to Solan.

It was cold and humid in London in December. In Gardiner Manor, the fire was burning in the fireplace, and there were all kinds of delicacies on the table. Wu Qian and his parents had a great time, and they exchanged interesting things during this period.

Most of the time, Wu Zhiwei and Lin Shuyun were talking, and Wu Qian was listening.

Knowing the rich and colorful life of his parents during this period, Wu Qian felt that he made the right decision. No one stipulates that people should play chess and dance square dance when they are old. Everyone should have the life they want to live. It shows that my parents enjoy the current state of life very much.

"Mom and Dad, I didn't know you two could run so well before. I heard from Fimiller that you two have almost traveled the British Isles in the past month or so. Now that winter is here, it is full of ice and snow everywhere, and there are many dangers. Don't run around, rest and rest."

Wu Qian used to think that his parents had worked hard all his life, and hoped that they would have the opportunity to go out and enjoy the world, but now he began to worry that his parents were always running outside, encountering accidents and dangers, people are always so contradictory.

Wu Zhiwei smiled and said: "Son, you really reminded me that it's winter in the northern hemisphere, so there's still the southern hemisphere. I plan to take advantage of this time to go to the South Pole. What do you think, mother?"

Said that the wind is the rain, Wu Zhiwei's proposal actually got Lin Shuyun's strong approval.

Wu Qian just wanted to cover his face. He could see that his parents' mentality had changed greatly since they were in the capital. They were only in their 50s and had time to travel around the world. Since they had the conditions, then go and play.

"I said you two... I just came back, and you all went out to play. It's so embarrassing. Going to Antarctica is dangerous. Parents, if you insist on going, I have a cruise ship under my name, wait." After running this route, I will launch a special Antarctic tour route, and my own cruise ship, don't worry..."

It is also a kind of filial piety for parents to give them the greatest support within their ability to do whatever they want.

Wu Qian stayed in the UK for a few days and once again enjoyed the care of his mother and the nagging of his father. During this period, he visited various industries in the UK and found that all industries were healthy.

One day, he suddenly appeared in Harrods, startling Luo Xiaxin who was working hard.

Arranged by Wu Qian in the world's top luxury department store, Luo Xiaxin's pressure is not ordinary. These days, she works hard during the day and uses her spare time to study in the evening. The whole person has improved significantly from the inside out.

Wu Qian went to Luo Xiaxin's apartment to have a meal, and talked about some things that happened a few months ago, all of which felt a little absurd. The two didn't talk about the future, but only talked about the present.

Wu Qian stayed overnight in Luo Xiaxin's apartment, and returned to the Gardner Manor the next day. He picked up the newspaper at the entrance and looked at it. Unexpectedly, a piece of news in the newspaper caught his eyes.

"Rosalind, help me make an appointment with Mr. John, no, ask Mr. Mark, and see when he has time. I have something to talk to him about."

Wu Qian read the newspaper and said to Rosalind who was walking behind, with a slightly excited smile on his face.
