Reborn IT Giant

Being able to meet Steve Jobs in New York was a real surprise for Zheng Yan. Zheng Yan originally had the idea of ​​investing in Jobs' current computer company, but later gave up.

Jobs had just been betrayed not long ago, and because of this, he was particularly strict in controlling the company. After all, no one wanted to experience this kind of experience many times. Zheng Yan was afraid that his proposal to become a shareholder would arouse Jobs' resistance. The most important thing is that,

This company really has no investment value.

Although Zheng Yan was happy after meeting Jobs, she did not forget her main purpose of coming to the United States. Zheng Yan rejected Jobs's invitation to participate in new product promotion activities.

The next day, Zheng Yan came to Yanhuang Investment's office in New York. Originally, according to Bill Miller's idea, the company was to be located in the World Trade Center, but Zheng Yan had long known the fate of the Twin Towers, so he deliberately stayed away from that place.

place.

"Zheng Yan, why are you here?"

Although he had no idea of ​​a temporary inspection, Zheng Yan did not want his appearance to affect everyone's work, so he did not notify Bill Miller in advance. However, Zheng Yan was still a little dissatisfied when he saw the rather chaotic office environment.

Originally, according to Zheng Yan's idea, this was Yanhuang Investment Company's first official investment, and the funds involved were extremely large. Not to mention how nervous the staff were, they should at least show enough attention, but the situation on site was completely different.

Zheng Yan didn't see any of the excitement, nervousness, or anticipation in his eyes, and only felt a lack of concentration.

"Bill, let's go to your office and have a chat."

Bill Miller could tell that Zheng Yan was very dissatisfied with the situation at the scene and the state of the staff, so he didn't say much and took Zheng Yan directly to his office.

"Leslie, help Zheng Yan get a cup of coffee." Bill Miller said to his wife.

"Bill, please don't tell me that what I saw just now is the normal working status of the staff."

"I'm very sorry Zheng Yan. I didn't expect you to see such an unpleasant scene for the first time when you came to the company. However, I think you misunderstood something."

"Actually, it's not yet time to open

It’s market time, so everyone hasn’t gotten into work mode yet. In addition, the investment in oil futures went so smoothly this time, so everyone doesn’t feel as nervous as usual.”

"Currently, almost all investors and investment companies are not optimistic about the oil futures market because it is too calm. Therefore, when our funds were invested in the futures market, we immediately obtained enough crude oil futures contracts."

Although Zheng Yan was dissatisfied with the status of the staff, she was very satisfied with the information provided by Bill Miller.

All in all, there are only a few days until the price of crude oil rises, and Zheng Yan's investment this time is too huge. What he is most worried about now is that the funds in his hand cannot be exchanged for futures contracts in time.

"Leslie, thank you."

While the two were communicating, Leslie walked in with coffee.

"You're welcome. You two can chat. I'll go out and take a look. It's almost time for the market to open."

All the staff just saw Zheng Yan and Bill Miller entering the office, but they didn't know Zheng Yan's identity. Leslie felt it was necessary to say hello to all the staff.

After Leslie went out, Zheng Yan continued: "Bill, how much money has been invested so far?"

"In addition to the initial two billion U.S. dollars, the subsequent 10 billion U.S. dollars have been invested. 1.5 billion. Although our funds are nothing compared to the entire oil futures market, because of the ten times leverage,

That’s a truly astronomical sum. I was afraid that if I invested too quickly, it would have an unknown impact on the entire market, so I never dared to do it.”

Originally, Bill Miller was not optimistic about this investment activity. Although he agreed to Zheng Yan to lead the investment, Bill Miller's cautious character has not changed.

When he entered the oil futures market, Bill Miller had already prepared for the worst, so he invested money at a steady pace.

Zheng Yan thought for a while. If he wanted to invest all his funds in the oil futures market at the current rate, it would take at least six days. Zheng Yan knew that the price of oil futures would start to rise in July, but the specific time

But I don't know.

"Bill, this is too slow. Don't worry about the price. As long as someone makes a move and we have enough funds, we will take it all. No matter what, we must invest all the funds in the shortest possible time.

"

Thinking about the profits this time, Zheng Yan would feel pain in his liver if he invested even less money.

"Zheng Yan..."

"Dong dong..."

Bill Miller wanted to persuade Zheng Yan again, but there was a knock on the door.

"Zheng Yan, Bill, the market has opened, do you want to come out and take a look?" Leslie said to the two of them.

"Come on Bill, let's take a look together."

When Zheng Yan and Bill came out, the staff on site were obviously a little nervous. It was not because of the opening of the market, but because they were worried about what Zheng Yan, the boss, would think.

"Don't be nervous, everyone, just continue with your work."

Even if Zheng Yan is still a little dissatisfied, he will not vent it at this time.

"Zheng Yan, I think you should think about it carefully. The current price of oil futures has dropped by about US$0.5 compared to when we first entered the market. Although we did not invest much money at the beginning, we also lost money.

Several hundred million. For the sake of safety, I think we should invest funds slowly."

The originally extremely calm oil futures market, because of the participation of Yanhuang Investment, many investors saw the opportunity to exit the market, which caused the price to fall. However, this situation was exactly what Zheng Yan wanted.

"According to what you said, now that we continue to invest funds, we can obtain more futures contracts with the same funds, which is a good thing."

Bill Miller felt defeated. When it came to Zheng Yan, losing money turned out to be a good thing. If Zheng Yan was not his boss, he would even want to scold Zheng Yan.

"Don't worry Bill, all this money is mine. I care about it more than anyone else. Believe me, it won't be long before the people who are watching our jokes won't laugh anymore."

Although Bill Miller didn't know where Zheng Yan's confidence came from, he knew one thing very well. He couldn't change Zheng Yan's decision. He could only pray in his heart that a miracle would happen.
