Reborn IT Giant

Troops sent by countries around the world entered Arabia, and negotiations with Iraq continued. This gave people hope for the peaceful liberation of Kuwait, and the international crude oil price stabilized at thirty-five dollars a barrel. But no one expected

, Iraq, which has just ended the eight-year-long Iran-Iraq war, has shown an unprecedented tough attitude.

Faced with the condemnation of Arab countries, the economic sanctions of the United Nations and the forced withdrawal of troops, Iraq has not given any response, and has not even shown any signs of withdrawing its troops. Invisibly, the majority of people hold the view that the war will continue and worsen.

This prompted crude oil prices to start a new round of rise.

In early September, the price of crude oil had exceeded Zheng Yan's expectation of US$38 per barrel. The contracts purchased in advance were approaching the contract execution time, and under the auspices of Bill Miller, they began to sell them one after another.

In mid-September, Zheng Yan, who had been in the United States for more than two months, decided to return to the port city. However, before that, Zheng Yan was preparing to do one more thing, announcing his existence to the entire Western world.

Bray Morgan once proposed to hold a dinner to take the opportunity to announce the partnership between the two companies, but Zheng Yan rejected it. Seeing that the investment was about to end, Zheng Yan was about to leave the United States, and then he remembered it.

"Larry, Steve, Leonard, thank you very much for coming to this dinner."

Zheng Yan only gave a symbolic invitation to his two partners, Larry Ellison and Leonard, but he didn't expect them to actually come over. What Zheng Yan didn't expect even more was that Steve Jobs actually came too.

"Okay Zheng Yan, we are all friends, so there is no need to be so polite. You are the protagonist tonight, so there is no need to greet us."

"Okay, let's talk about it later. Miyuki, take them in first."

Although Bill Miller was more familiar with a few people, Zheng Yan, the incoming guest, almost didn't know him, so they naturally wanted to keep him by their side.

"Zheng Yan."

As soon as Aso Miyuki led a few people in, Bray Morgan came over.

"Do you have time now? There is something that needs to be discussed in private."

Zheng Yan looked at Bray Morgan and then at the young man with him.

, "Okay, please follow me."

Zheng Yan took the two of them to his study room, "If you have anything to say, please talk here. No one will disturb you here."

"Zheng Yan, this is William, from the Rockefeller family, hoping to buy some crude oil futures contracts in your hand."

"William, this is Zheng Yan, the boss of Yanhuang Investment."

Hearing Bray Morgan's introduction, Zheng Yan was excited and thought: Finally a big fish has come. But Zheng Yan did not expect that Bray Morgan was the middleman.

"Hello, Zheng Yan, it's nice to meet you. Although I've known for a long time that you are young, and I've heard from Bray, I still can't help but be a little surprised after seeing you."

William had been tormenting Bill Miller for a long time before this, but Bill Miller had already received orders from Zheng Yan, so he had been looking for excuses to shirk. In desperation, he had to find Bray Morgan.

"Hello, William, I find that everyone always mentions my age when they meet me for the first time. Fortunately, I'm used to it."

Zheng Yan was not surprised that the Rockefeller family came to find him. Since the energy crisis in 1973, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and U.S. monopoly capital have launched a tit-for-tat struggle, and the Rockefeller consortium has also suffered a heavy blow.

After the energy crisis, although Rockefeller's oil companies consciously developed their own oil fields in an attempt to get rid of their dependence on major oil exporting countries, they still have not fully succeeded. Moreover, Kuwait's crude oil is one of their very important sources. Since the war,

After the outbreak, it was greatly affected.

"Zheng Yan, William, please stop being polite. We are all friends, and the dinner is about to start. Our time is limited, so let's get down to business."

This is a matter that is beneficial to both parties, and Bray Morgan doesn't want to see the two of them compromise.

Since the price of crude oil is still rising, the futures market is very hot. After more than ten days, Yanhuang Investment has sold a large part of the futures contracts in its hands. But Zheng Yan believes that even the remaining ones can meet Rockefeller's needs.

Zheng Yan also happened to want to get out of this land of right and wrong as soon as possible. Although he would lose some profits, it was better to be safe.

"William,

Do you think this is okay? I don’t know how much is left at the moment. I’ll talk to Bill later. How about you go to him directly and calculate it based on today’s closing price?”

Zheng Yan agreed so readily that it made William hesitate. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is still room for crude oil prices to rise. If the transaction is completed at the price Zheng Yan said, he will invisibly owe Zheng Yan a favor.

"Okay William, just do as Zheng Yan said. We are all friends, and we will have a long time to come."

Although Bray Morgan didn't know why Zheng Yan was so generous, since Zheng Yan was willing to let go, he naturally had his own considerations. Bray Morgan also knew William's concerns, but he was more optimistic about Zheng Yan's future and owed Zheng Yan a favor.

It must be a bad thing.

"Okay, that's it. I am the owner of this place, so I can't leave for too long."

After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he walked out of the room. He felt that maybe he should leave some time for Bray Morgan and William to communicate alone.

"Bray, thank you this time."

"Okay, I still don't know what you think. Don't underestimate Zheng Yan. You have just met him and don't know him well. You will understand after I meet you and talk to you. You also know that I

Now he is in charge of JPMorgan Chase's business in Hong Kong City. After getting to know him over this period of time, he has found that Zheng Yan's background is not simple."

"Not to mention anything else, the largest families in Hong Kong City all have a close relationship with Zheng Yan. A large part of the funds for this investment in oil futures came from several large families in Hong Kong City. You don't even think about it. If

If they don’t believe in Zheng Yan’s ability, how can they safely hand over money to Zheng Yan?”

"And another point is that before the Japanese stock market crashed, there was a large amount of funds shorting the Nikkei Index. Although there is no direct evidence, according to my investigation during this period, the funds came from Hong Kong City, and Zheng Yan was the leader.

person."

"So, there is absolutely no harm in making friends with Zheng Yan. It doesn't hurt to owe someone a favor, but it gives you a reason to continue dating. Come on, let's go out too, don't keep Zheng Yan waiting."

Only then did William understand why Bray Morgan valued Zheng Yan so much, and he no longer struggled in his heart, and walked out of the room with Bray Morgan.
