Great Power

"Because oil prices are likely to undergo a major correction—"

Zheng Jianguo looked at him as if he really didn’t know the reason for closing the position, so he faced the gaze of six people, including Ignatius Brosnahan, and analyzed the reason: “Now the news media are talking about oil. The price is too high, and people can't afford to drive a car.

As a result, the demand for buying cars has decreased, and then the cars built by car companies cannot be sold. In order to reduce costs, they have to lay off employees.

On the other hand, excessive oil prices have led to an increase in logistics costs, and the manufacturing costs of manufacturing companies have risen, which has led to an increase in sales prices.

As a result, the market consumption power is further reduced, and this is also the purpose of people looking for new energy.

This kind of thinking is normal, because no one knows that batteries made of atomic-grade graphite layers have the ability to improve the utilization of electric energy.

And if this research result is published, it will easily be taken seriously by countries, because one dollar of electricity can be worth hundreds of dollars of gasoline.

This is a gimmick that all countries, to be precise, are urgently needed by the current government, and the purpose is to reduce oil prices to reduce inflation and unemployment.

They don’t care if this technology can appear in a short time. They just want people who are optimistic about oil, like Mr. Ignatius, to close their positions after learning about the performance of atomic-grade graphite layer batteries—"

"Well, I'll listen to you! Anyway, this money is earned from you—"

Thinking of Zheng Jianguo’s performance, Bruce didn’t think about it long before he made a decision. In fact, if it hadn’t been for the money he had spent at that time, he wouldn’t have taken so much money to risk: "Then you pay Are you planning to invest in anything?"

"Yes, I still buy oil contracts, but I used to use high leverage to buy long. After the two days are closed, I can buy short, but at this point in time it needs to be operated -"

After repeating the negative impact of high oil prices on television and newspaper broadcasts, Zheng Jianguo did not expect Bruce to be similar to himself before, thinking that he can only make money by buying more.

However, after Zheng Jianguo was thinking about buying short, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought: "I wonder if Mr. Ignatius has passed the performance of the atomic-grade graphite layer battery car to some people’s ears. ?"

"It's hard to say--"

Ignatius Brosnahan blinked to meet Zheng Jianguo’s gaze. Of course, what he said was nonsense, just like his reaction when hearing the performance of this battery car. As long as he is interested in the car, he is afraid No one will not pay attention to this kind of performance car.

However, Ignatius Brosna'an had other thoughts in his mind: "Bruce, is your investment with Zheng?"

"I told you about it a long time ago—"

This thought flashed in his mind, but Bruce nodded with a smile on his face: "I didn't tell you last time, because after all, Zheng and I have so little interests involved. He was able to come to the United States at that time because I went through the formalities— —"

"Oh, it's okay, as long as your investments are separated, it's okay. After all, although Zheng said that it will rise, but he can't influence the futures market. In this case, he may also lose—"

Ignatius Brosnahan nodded blankly, and Bruce then laughed: "That's for sure. Although we are looking for the same broker, the accounts and everything are separate. Now Zheng feels The oil contract will be adjusted. If you have some spare money, you can also make some pocket money. I am very optimistic about his analysis of the market—"

"Oh, I'll talk about this later~"

Ignatius Brosner shook his head noncommitantly, then looked at the watch on his wrist, then stood up and said: "Bruce, I have something to do. I won't sit down today, see you tomorrow~ "

"See you tomorrow, Zheng, I'll send Ignatius off, you will sit down first."

Bruce turned his head and said to Zheng Jianguo, and he stood up to the door and went out, then said with a smile: "As long as he can confirm that the research results he said are true or false, this is a surprise. ——"

"It's true or not. It's not all these scientists said. You heard him say it personally before. In fact, based on his current name, you can guarantee that this sentence will spread as quickly as possible. It now appears that you were right to send him to America."

Ignatius Brosnaan buttoned his suit and took off the cap from the coat rack on the wall and put it on. Then he waved his hand and turned to the elevator in the distance: "Don't forget that Let him fix it."

As he watched the other party into the elevator, Bruce turned and returned to the living room. He saw Ian Emmer next to him saying something to Zheng Jianguo: "You say that, the risk is quite big."

"That is, the scale of the oil contract is too large. I don't know how much this spread news can play. But I feel that governments around the world are suffering from high oil prices, so I will definitely spare no effort to promote this research result.

But since then, those investors will inevitably study the application prospects of this technology in depth. I feel that even if the news is good and bad, it will not last long—"

Listening to Zheng Jianguo's analysis, Bruce sat on the sofa with a slightly frowning brow. At this time, Catlin was holding the coffee pot and refilled a few people. When she walked away with his teacup, she spoke: "Tavri, take out those two forms and ask Jianguo to fill them out so that they can exchange them."

"Oh, good!"

Evelyn Tully took a look at Ian Imo next to him, then took out an envelope from his underwear pocket, placed it in front of Zheng Jianguo, and said: "Bruce said this has already been told to you Yes, then it’s better to change your visa application form back then, fill it out and give it to me. If there is any mistake in the future, it will not be good."

"The I-693 medical examination form is filled out by others, so you don’t need to fill it out yourself. You need to fill in this I-140 form and I-485 form by yourself. Remember that the date is not wrong so that Evelyn can Replace those two."

I found Zheng Jianguo hesitantly looking at the form he took out from the envelope. Bruce fumbled a pen from his inner pocket and handed it to him and said that after reading the form, the former knew that he was applying for his visa. At the end, he took the pen and quickly filled it in, and the people next to him fell silent.

The form is easy to fill, especially in terms of Zheng Jianguo’s current achievements and achievements. The reason why he didn’t think about it at the time was because he wanted to change a visa in the dark. It was not for the purpose of immigration. Now that it has become In fact, then it is reasonable to make up for the last leg.

He quickly completed the filling and gave it to Evelyn. After receiving it, the latter took a look at several signature positions and dates. Then he picked up the pen and signed his own name at the position of the final approver: "When I go back Just leave the bottom in the file and change it."

"Thank you!"

Zheng Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. With his understanding of American media and procedures, no one will reveal this matter at that time. If anyone reveals it, no matter what the result is, he, Bruce and Evelyn will be Are subject to investigation.

Especially considering that these two are still in the officialdom of the United States, and I don’t know if there is any other stubbornness under the ass, so this matter has become the thorn in his heart, or the thorn in his heart. ——

Now that the thorn is pulled out, Zheng Jianguo's attention has returned to the previous thing: "The main reason is that the time for opening a position is not easy to grasp, and the position is opened early and it is easy to burst. Now the price of oil is what——"

"I have to turn on the TV to watch this. I have been busy for a day today and I haven't even watched the news yet—"

Bruce said, turning on a loud voice in front of the TV, and tuned a few more channels quickly, and saw a set of numbers appear on the screen: "Now it is 33 dollars and 9 cents, which is 9 cents back from yesterday—"

"33 US dollars and 09 cents minus 27 US dollars and 39 cents equals 5 US dollars and 70 cents. According to 110 million barrels, this is 627 million. Adding the cost of 310 million, this is 937 million? Wipe out the mantissa as a handling fee— "

A set of numbers quickly appeared in his mind. Zheng Jianguo glanced at the people next to him and found that he could not find a pen to calculate, so he had to remove the fractions in his mind and only counted as a whole number: "If you go short, you sell short, at 900 million US dollars. If you calculate the maximum leverage of 20 times, you can get 545 million barrels at a price of 33 dollars, and then you can make 545 million for every dollar that the price drops.

Just under the 20 times leverage, as long as one cent rises, he can make up 545 million U.S. dollars as the base?

No, if you remove 20 times, it will be a supplementary payment of 272,500 US dollars. If you increase by 1 dollar, you will have to make a supplementary payment of 27.25 million US dollars. If you calculate this way, you will earn 545 million for a fall of 1 US dollar and make a supplement of 27.25 million for a US dollar increase?"

Zheng Jianguo's heart was suddenly moved. Fortunately, he also knew that this was not a loophole in the procedure, but the 20 times leverage he chose. For every dollar increase, only one twentieth of the margin is required, which is 27.25 million times 20. Times is exactly 545 million.

"And the amount of capital of 18 billion, even if it is placed in the tens of trillions of oil contract market, can it be regarded as a big ant?"

After this thought flashed in his mind, Zheng Jianguo sighed with relief, and nodded at Bruce after an enlightenment rose in his heart: "I feel like I can manipulate it, but I don’t know if President Carter can do it after the article is published. Visit MIT—"

"Then it will be too late, the people on Wall Street are better than dog noses—"

Next to him, the taciturn middle-aged man opened his mouth. Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but glanced at him in surprise, knowing that this man was named August Wadeson, who hadn't made any noise since Bruce introduced the two sides.

Previously, Zheng Jianguo had doubted whether he had come to Cengfan, but he didn't expect to speak at this moment, but he woke up in the next moment, this person is right!

Carter does not understand economics. This is something that Zheng Jianguo knew when he came to the United States. Otherwise, he would never risk offending domestic farmers by canceling the food trade agreement signed with the Soviets before-now the actor Reagan There have been promises everywhere that he will abolish the ban when he becomes president.

"I think you did a good job earlier, just as I said to Ignatius earlier, just pretend to not care and tell the media—"

August Wedson held a coffee saucer in his left hand and a coffee cup in his right. He said that after a pair of eyes saw Zheng Jianguo looking at him, a faint smile appeared on his fair face: "I remember you and the reporters, host They have a good relationship and will answer three questions every time they are encountered."

"August is right. Instead of letting Ignatius tell the staff through internal relations, I suspect that the mad dogs on Wall Street knew your plan before the president heard about this proposal, and even they Will dig a trap for you directly—"

August Wedson’s words seemed to resonate with Ian Emmer, who didn’t know if he had a prejudice against Wall Street, or he sighed with other experiences.

Zheng Jianguo's gaze swept over another middle-aged man who hadn't made a sound, but always looked at himself with his eyes. His gaze stayed a little on the opponent's cheeks, neck, and hands, and he already had some guesses in his mind: " Isn't this a psychoanalyst?"

This uncertain thought flashed in his mind, Zheng Jianguo didn't take this man in his heart either. Although August's words contained heavy conspiracy theories, he himself was a person who thought about everything when things happened. , Especially with so much money and little power.

Had it not been for the super high self-control and mentality conferred by the identity of the rebirth, I would have been admitted to the lunatic asylum due to persecution delusion at this time: "Thinking about it, Mr. August is justified. The reporters are concerned about me At the time of the scandal, I heard that there are such electric cars, and I am afraid that they will be able to brush this title all over the United States in one day—"

"At that time, it will become news that ordinary people will pay attention to from the gossip circle of the entertainment circle and the technology circle. When even ordinary people start to pay attention, then facing the high oil price now, the White House and Downing Street will not think about it. It's hard to pay attention.

As long as your research can be tenable and don't have too many loopholes, I am afraid that the mad dogs on Wall Street will immediately package this technology for the market, and you will have massive research funds and worldwide attention—"

August Wedson still maintained the posture of holding the saucer in one hand and the coffee in the other, until the voice fell, he delivered the coffee cup to his mouth and sipped it gently, and smiled at Zheng Jianguo: "In this case, you are afraid Will break the record of Lawrence Prague winning the Nobel Prize at the age of 25. You seem to be only 18 this year?"

"Ha ha--"

Zheng Jianguo smiled stiffly. He didn't expect this one to see through his own intentions. If the real atomic-grade graphite layer can be used by this news to break the circle and attract the attention of the world, then it will be used as this atomic-grade graphite layer. The discoverer, he will take the most solid step towards the Nobel Prize in Physics!

Fortunately, Zheng Jianguo’s calmness as a rebirth made him calm down quickly. With the help of two years of study and work experience, he quickly thought of the best way to deal with it: “If you can do this again To win the Nobel Prize, that will be the highest glory I dream of!"

"You are very smart-ability, money, honor, this three birds with one stone plan is really wonderful!"

August Wedson turned his head and looked at Bruce next to him, then slightly nodded and said: "Bruce, I haven't seen a young man like him in a long time. I think your greatest achievement in this life is We invited Dr. Zheng to the United States, Dr. Zheng, would you like to join the Harvard Club?"
