Chapter 280

"Hello too, young one."

The old man, affectionately called "Mr. John" by the outside world, saw the arrival of Chen Weidong and Chen Jie, rubbing the brown cane in his hand energetically, and seemed to be very excited.

At this time, he was over eighty years old, and the years had left too much fatigue on his face.

Even so, he still insists on working six hours a day, and is the actual controller of many industries of the entire Rockefeller family

"Nice to meet you, Mr. John!"

Chen Jie also changed his previous appearance of a prodigal son, and shook hands with the other party very solemnly, fully expressing the low-key and humble attitude of a school of backward juniors.

He even wanted to take a photo with the other party with the camera, and when it was posted online, it would definitely be hyped again.

What headlines will the media play?
Capital successor?
Grip of the century?

The Rockefeller family is a well-known family in the United States, and it is also a great family that countless people yearn for.

Their influence is not only economic, but also has a pivotal position in the political arena, and they are also one of the five richest families in the world.

John Rockefeller Jr. continued the ability of his family heir and led the Rockefeller family to continue to dominate the business world.

But it's a pity that the prominence of each family will not last for too long.

Although the Rockefeller family is still brilliant, it has always lost to its previous glory.

The assets of the entire family are no longer as wealthy as they were in the early twentieth century, but it is undeniable that as the family continues to grow, their combined strength cannot be underestimated.

"Are you the young man who defeated Soros a few years ago? I have to say, you are indeed courageous."

John Rockefeller Jr. was hale and hearty looking up and down at Chen Jie, as if he wanted to find something different from him.

A few years ago, Western hot money hunted Southeast Asia and defeated the currencies of one country after another. In the end, when they attacked Hong Kong, a financial center, they encountered unprecedented strong resistance.

In the end, with the defeat of Wall Street, the European funds cut their meat and stopped their losses.

This financial war without gunpowder shocked the whole world.

Among them, Chen Jie, the influential figure, has naturally become the focus of investigation by countless organizations.

However, when people got his first-hand information, they were surprised.

Such an ordinary young man who could no longer be ordinary, a gambler who was chased by gangsters not long ago, and an "illiterate" with only a mere high school education, actually defeated a group of Wall Street elites!

It's simply a big joke in the world!
Getting started in the financial industry is easy and difficult to master. High-level financial confrontations cannot be won by luck. This involves a lot of actuarial calculations, news, and comprehensive analysis of social aspects.

However, the opponent seized the opportunity at the most critical moment and dealt them a fatal blow.

"Shit luck!" They could only yell at each other, it was absolutely impossible to admit that losing to a novice who became a monk halfway through was definitely due to luck.

But in the eyes of some people, they don't think so.

Among them was the old man in front of him.

"Mr. John, you are too much for the prize, and I just made a mistake." Chen Jie laughed, it was only once in his lifetime, luckily he made the right bet.

"Luck is also a part of strength, not to mention the sudden rise of young people like you." The old man smiled and praised sincerely.

As an important figure in world capital, he certainly knows that a large part of the reason for his current status is that he was born in the Rockefeller family.

And it is a miracle that this young man in front of him, who does not have such a background and resources at all, can achieve such dazzling results today.

"I think, you guys showed me everything just now, didn't you?" The old man withdrew his deep gaze and turned to look at Chen Weidong next to him.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mr. John."

Chen Weidong nodded in agreement.

Even though John Rockefeller Jr. was old, his vision was even more vicious.

All their actions on the first and second floors, Rockefeller had guessed with just a little thought.

"Little guy, you are the most powerful trader I have ever seen, but since you said you are a short-term speculator, then I don't think you came here today just to get my attention?" The old man once again sighed at Chen Weidong's youth, and motioned for them to sit down on the sofa next to him.

Personal assistant Gris, after lightly knocking on the door, pushed in and put two cups of steaming coffee on the coffee table in front of them.

Then, he quietly stood behind the old man.

"Mr. John, it seems that you are not in a good mood, but maybe I can bring you some good news." Chen Weidong looked at the old man in front of him and said calmly.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

There was no wave on the old man's face, as if he was talking about whether today's weather is sunny or not.

From the beginning of the new energy crisis to the failure of the acquisition of the Northern California Solar Energy Company, John Rockefeller Jr. has been keenly aware that certain crises are quietly approaching.

In the final analysis, the Rockefeller family started by monopolizing oil.

If the emergence of new energy is not in their hands and led by them, it will be a terrible thing.

What this means, no one knows better than them.

Will the Rockefeller family, which has been rich for six generations, be able to continue its past glory after his death?
It was like a shadow that haunted him and kept him awake at night.

"If I say that in three days, the price of crude oil will soar to more than $30, what will you do?"

"More than 30 dollars? This...absolutely impossible!"

The old man was startled, but then he shook his head and said very firmly, "Unless... another Gulf War is launched."

This Gulf War was a war launched against Iraq in 1991 by a multinational coalition headed by the United States.

It's just that this time the United States has been authorized by the United Nations Security Council.

In one respect, this is a legitimate war.

"Whether war will happen, I don't know, but judging from the global energy crisis, some countries will do anything for energy, and may launch a new round of war at any time, Mr. John, do you think I'm right?" Chen Weidong leaned on the sofa and said slowly.

Even Chen Jie, who has always been slow, heard Chen Weidong's overtones, secretly tightened his suit, leaned forward slightly and sat up straight.

"I think you're right, but so what?"

John Rockefeller Jr. naturally recognized who Chen Weidong referred to as "some countries", and he did not deny the correctness of this point of view.

However, who can know when the war will happen?
Even if they are the Rockefeller family.

Of course, it is impossible to admit it.

"Little guy, if you came here for this matter, I'm afraid you will fail. The price of oil is very stable, and it is impossible to fluctuate greatly in a short period of time."

As the old man spoke, there was a slight smile on his face, as if he was laughing that Chen Weidong was too young to understand the rules of the game in this world.

Chen Weidong did not argue, but continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether the war breaks out or not. It's just that recently, has Mr. John discovered anything?"
