Chapter 717 The Eve of the Storm
In the sky, the smiling face A380 spread its wings and soared towards the northwest. Before flying to New York, it would stop at Heathrow International Airport for fuel replenishment.

Half an hour after the smiling face A380 took off, another plane took off from the Baibera International Airport, which was the MiG-29 fighter jet that had been parked aside.

This time is a serious experiment. Clough recorded a lot of valuable data during the process of ejecting the MiG-29, which will be used to help the system to be further improved.

Two ejections, two successes, Wu Qian received an announcement call from Clough on the plane. This research achievement is definitely worth celebrating. As for the rest, how to use this technology to create value, he has already figured it out in his heart.

During Wu Qian's time on the plane, the financial world has quietly started fighting over the price of international crude oil!
The time for the high-level officials of Saudi Arabia and Maozi to sit at the negotiating table is getting closer and closer. Various speculations are flying in the sky, and an expert jumped out to speak for a while.

Some say that under the pressure of many countries, Maoziguo will inevitably agree to cut production, and will increase the intensity of production cuts. Some say that even in the face of economic sanctions, Maoziguo will never look at it and will never cut production. There are different opinions. foot.

Speech is free, but there are differences in severity. No matter what experts or financial practitioners say, if there is no authoritative media to endorse them, they will generally have no influence, and they are just talking about themselves.

However, at this critical moment, some authoritative media from various countries have also participated in spoiling the situation, competing to report the speculations and remarks of experts, making this muddy water even more muddy.

For a while, the international crude oil market seemed to be in a roller coaster mode. The trading volume increased by a magnitude. The moment before, it skyrocketed, and a long Yang line went straight into the sky.

Those with weak hearts are already lying in the ambulance.

One crop after another of leeks, each crop is more tender and juicy than the last crop, as if it is a wealth harvesting ceremony that has been planned for a long time.

Everyone knows that there must be a bigwig-level existence playing games behind this incident, otherwise those authoritative media will not stand up and endorse.

It's just that there are some things that are useless even if you know them. The meager power of the leeks can't change anything. The leeks who are afraid and want to make a fortune can only gamble with a small amount of funds in their hands. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything.

In an office in London, two "bystanders", Barbara and Woodward, quietly watched the ups and downs of the international crude oil market.

Capital also follows the principle of energy conservation. Every time there is a sharp rise or fall, the massive wealth in the market is just being transferred instead of disappearing. Countless funds have been transferred from misjudged investors to another party.

"Barbara, check to see if your mobile phone is in arrears. Why hasn't the boss contacted us?"

Woodward asked without words, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Barbara rolled her eyes, didn't reply, and still watched the changes in the game quietly.

Within two hours, the amplitude of international crude oil prices reached [-] points. This kind of violent fluctuation indicates that a more violent storm is about to sweep.

Barbara said in her heart, in front of this kind of market, if there is no conclusive news, she absolutely cannot invest even a penny. This is a complete gamble, a gamble with a 50.00% winning rate!

It seems that all the financial knowledge I have learned has been returned to the teacher, and it has no effect at all, and the ups and downs that violate the laws of the market keep coming and going.

Many fledgling financial practitioners have discovered that the most important indicator to determine the direction of the market is policy, rather than those boastful K-line academics. In other words, the will of the boss is the only thing that determines the direction of the market!

Holding a huge wealth of 2000 billion and hiding in the dark, the two dared not move a finger easily. They knew very well that their identities were just operators.

After the smiling face A380 stopped at Heathrow International Airport to refuel, it took off directly to New York, USA without any stop.

On the plane, Wu Qian was also concerned about the turmoil in the international crude oil market.

"Boss, the U.S. Energy Administration held a press conference about shale oil 10 minutes ago, look..."

Rosalind has been paying close attention to relevant information. She has set keywords on her device, and whenever there is any new development in the American media, she will be reminded as soon as possible.

Wu Qian took the tablet and briefly browsed through the reporter's questions and high-level answers. The meaning was very clear. There was no plan to reduce shale oil production within the next six months.

There is a question and answer that caught Wu Qian's attention.

A reporter asked that nearly [-] oil and gas companies in the United States have closed down. Is it because the development of shale oil has encountered difficulties.

The spokesperson replied that the collapse of oil and gas companies was only caused by poor management, and has nothing to do with the bright future of shale oil. Every industry will go through this process. This is a screening process to select companies suitable for the current environment!
"This is the rhythm of robbing the market, even killing one's own people...Okay, good job."

Wu Qian returned the tablet to Rosalind, then picked up the phone that was set aside and called Woodward's cell phone.

In the London office, Woodward and Barbara quietly watched the changes in the handicap, letting the K-line jump up and down, their moods were as calm as the surface of a lake, without any waves.

A hasty phone ringing sounded like a big stone thrown into a calm lake, and the lake surface immediately rolled up with ripples.

"God, I was shocked, boss, hello."

Woodward answered the phone, heaved a sigh of relief, pressed the speakerphone and put the phone on the table. His superficial calm was only depression under extreme tension, because he had been waiting for Boss Wu's call to charge.

"There are still more than two hours before the negotiation between Saudi Arabia and Maoziguo. After 10 minutes, I will start buying short positions in WTI non-stop. No matter how many long positions appear in the market, all of them will be swept away. Listen clearly, it is all, regardless of price. Stop until the position reaches 30.00%."

With the gossip from Sartmucci and Kuretta, and the clear attitude of the US side, Wu Qian can already clearly think of the outcome of this negotiation. If he does not do it now, when will he wait? Like him, some people have begun to short WTI crude oil.

Indeed, the destination of Wu Qian's trip was New York. In a high-rise building on Wall Street, the famous Soros Quantum Fund had already begun to mop up, and large institutions that were also bearish had heard the news.

Of course, there are also those who are bullish, and long and short have always been in opposition.

Gudou, Woodward swallowed heavily, his judgment was completely contrary to the boss's operation, but now is not the time to question, and the boss didn't give him a chance to question, so he hung up the phone immediately after giving the order.

The plane was flying smoothly. It would take more than seven hours to fly from London to New York. This would be over the Atlantic Ocean, and there were still three hours to the destination.

After issuing the transaction order, Wu Qian seemed to have forgotten about this matter, turned off the computer and stretched himself, smiled and said to Rosalind, "Have you arranged where to live in New York?"

Rosalind was constantly searching the Internet for news related to the negotiation, and she was taken aback by the boss's question.

"Of course, Boss, I booked a room for you at the Greenwich Hotel three days ago."

How could Rosalind forget this kind of thing, the arrangement was extremely appropriate.

Greenwich Hotel is one of the members of The Leading World. The hotel’s top-level suite costs [-] US dollars a night, and it is not open to ordinary people. It must have a certain social status, such as film and television celebrities, social politicians and other figures. qualifications.

Swift, Beyoncé, Tom Cruise and others basically use this hotel as their second home. Omar has also lived here many times and raised more than one million dollars for the general election at the Greenwich Hotel .

It can be seen that the Greenwich Hotel is definitely a top hotel even in New York where every inch of land is expensive.

Wu Qian shook his head with a smile. He didn't know the situation of the Greenwich Hotel very well, but he could be sure that this was not the living environment he wanted.

"Rosalind, no matter how comfortable I live in a place like a hotel, I feel like I'm just a passer-by, and the place is still small, such a small place, where do you live, where do the spades army live, Lulu is busy buying Things will come to the United States to find me, where will I live?"

The spade troops stood aside, looking at the boss with gratitude on their faces. Bosses who put themselves in the shoes of bodyguards like this are rare. They don't care if the boss's words are high-sounding, as long as they can improve their treatment conditions. of.

"The place is too small. If you change to another place, it should be more presentable and feel like home." Wu Qian said with a smile.

Rosalind thought about it seriously, and she suddenly understood why the boss was not satisfied with the living environment of a top-level hotel. After all, it was because her thinking did not keep up with the speed of the boss's thinking improvement.

The "culprit" of everything is Stefan!
After Stefan received the boss with a top-notch villa in the forest, the boss became no longer fond of hotels, and developed the "bad habit" of living in a private mansion no matter where he went.

If it is an ordinary person, such a bad habit is unnecessary, but as a top invisible rich man, this cannot be called a bad habit, it is called personality!
It's just that this meeting is already on the plane, and it will land in New York in more than three hours. It is really not easy to rearrange the residence in such a short period of time.

Fortunately, Rosalind was not troubled by this, as her business ability is super strong.

After figuring out what the boss was thinking, she tapped her fingers and quickly found the place the boss wanted.

"Boss, there is a very nice estate for sale in Long Island, New York."

Wu Qian's eyes lit up after hearing this, and said, "Let's listen."

Seeing the boss's reaction, Rosalind knew that this time was to her liking.

"The entire manor is located on a large grassland with a total area of ​​[-] acres. There are twelve bedrooms in the house, including a living room, a game room, an entertainment room and two luxurious master suites. There are also A self-contained carriage house with three bedrooms and a bathroom, and a garage with eight car spaces."

"Outside the house there are large swimming pool, dining area, entertainment area, full outdoor kitchen, tennis court and basketball court and other facilities. The house is surrounded by two semi-natural ponds, overlooking Mecox Bay and the open sea, and there is a path leading directly to it Private beach."

"This manor retains many quaint features, including traditional chandeliers and Italian stone fireplaces, as well as French wooden floors and antique-level bathroom decorations. It was originally a top-level residence built for the Ford family and has just been put on the market for special reasons. , including the land deed, the selling price is 8000 million US dollars."

While listening to Rosalind's description, Wu Qian imagined how pleasant the refreshing private beach with the cool sea breeze blowing in summer was, but at the end, he frowned slightly.

Rosalind caught the boss's dissatisfied expression, and she was surprised. She didn't know what didn't meet the boss's expectations, could it be the price?

Certainly not the price.

Wu Qiandao: "Since it is a manor specially built for the Ford family, there must be many brands of the Ford family. I think it's better to forget it and leave it to other buyers who like this manor. You can look at the others."

Rosalind smiled awkwardly but politely. This manor was one of the best properties in New York. Since the boss didn't like it, she had no choice but to continue to read the real estate information.

Helping Boss Wu find real estate is actually very simple. Rosalind only needs to sort the prices from high to low, and then lock the target according to the environment the boss likes, and the results will be obtained soon.

In less than 5 minutes, Rosalind said: "Boss, I found an island, are you interested?"

Wu Qian couldn't help smiling, and said with a smile, "Island? Interesting, let's hear it."

"This island is also located in Long Island, New York, on the north shore of Long Island. It covers an area of ​​68 acres. There are six distinctive residences on the island. There are ten acres of narrow water development rights next to the island, and a thirty-acre private pond. , an 80-meter-long pier and two helipads."

"The island was originally sold to a private person by King George I of England in 1721. The previous owner was Spencer Morgan. The Morgan family used the island as a real estate investment project and renovated the mansion and island landscape. It is worth mentioning What’s more, the exterior landscape architect is Lou Olmsted, who designed New York’s Central Park.”

"The island is only an hour's drive from New York City. There is a private causeway leading to the land. If you use a helicopter, you can reach the city center in only 10 minutes. The transportation is very convenient."

"This island is the second most luxurious property on Long Island, second only to the mansion of the 'Ford Family' I told you just now. The entire island is not sold separately, and the total price is [-] million taels..."

Wu Qian snapped his fingers, and before Rosalind finished speaking, he said, "That's it. If there is no annoying CIA looking for me after getting off the plane, I will warmly welcome Minister Ross on this island!"

Now, the price is no longer Wu Qian's primary consideration, as long as he likes it, he can buy it, but the fun of bargaining is less.

The life of the rich is so boring.

　Thanks to the book friend Long Xingcangtian for the 100 reward, and Boss Meow for the 100 reward.
