Chapter 1117 Trading

Just after the Lunar New Year, the North Sea Brent oil price plummeted again, this time even better, directly closing at 11.98 yuan per barrel.

This is not the worst. Looking at the current economic situation, this price is obviously untenable.

"Warren, you are welcome to Lanai, and I think you will have a good time."

Looking at the guy opposite, Buffett felt a little bit pained. A cowboy hat, a floral shirt, and a pair of suit shorts, he really couldn't describe it.

This guy is completely tired and lazy. Alas, if those veterans see it, they don't know if they will vomit blood.

"Dear William, you are really leisurely. Apart from saying admiration, I really can't think of suitable words."

"It's just fun in the bitterness, look, oil prices have fallen again, gold has also fallen, the property market has also fallen, and those stocks.

Alas, except for some national debt, all the assets of the buddy are shrinking. In such a short time, I may have lost ten million.

You say, Warren, should I take it easy? "

"Haha, we all know that the difficulties are only temporary. What do you mean, do you also want to end this?"

"Of course, but before you talk about this, can you tell me why you can't raise the price of oil a little bit!

Do you know that Barclays Bank has already retreated? By the way, the price of my gold is also falling. It seems that I need to add collateral. "

Buffett looked bitter 13, I'm just a middleman, and I don't have the right to make decisions.

"Are you kidding, William, how can the current economic situation drive up the price of gold and oil?"

"No, I heard that silly Damu has not been honest recently, so just find an excuse to beat him up.

If it doesn't work, Kazafei is also suitable. As long as you pinch it a little, the price will come up immediately. Whether it is gold or oil, they will all come back.

Could it be that the old guys still have some immature ideas? "

Buffett has long known that this product is difficult to deal with, but he did not expect that it can be so difficult to deal with. It's no wonder, maybe, this is the reason why people are unscrupulous.

Yes, there is a reason behind the suppression of oil and gold. Everything else can be discussed, except for two things. The pricing power of oil and gold must be in the hands of the United States. The pricing of these two special products must also be US dollars.

Be it intellectual property rights or dish cooking, even if it is a high trade deficit, Ying Jiang will not care much about it. As long as gold and oil are in hand, the dollar is the only international exchange currency.

What, you can use Euro or Japanese Yen directly.

Ha ha, maybe there is, but it will definitely not be mainstream. If, without this Asian financial crisis, the status of the yen seems to be higher.

You see, the status of the yen has steadily improved, and the eagle sauce will teach it a lesson. The euro is also very strong, and it has been cheated after 2008.

No matter who it is, as long as its status is threatened, it will not hesitate to shoot.

Actually, it's normal. A guy who had been leading the way suddenly found someone chasing him. You think about it, digging two pits by hand, in fact, it is easy to understand.

"Hahaha, you are really serious. I have never seen such hospitality. At this time, shouldn't you buy me a drink?"

"Okay, okay, please go to the humble house for a while."

"Humble house?" Buffett was speechless. Damn, do you dare to be more shameless? Rumor has it that this mansion on Lanai Island is extravagant.

"Ahem, I'm so sorry. I'm learning Chinese recently. There are some problems with this term. Do you know that in history, even if the prime minister invited you to be a guest, he would still say nonsense about visiting a humble house.

I have asked carefully, and it is definitely not perfunctory or polite. They say this in the hope that the guests can have a peaceful and happy state of mind. "

"Is that so? Well, if it's just a humble house, my God, I usually live in a pigsty."

Hahaha, hahaha, the two left the airport leisurely in a golf cart. One is driving and the other is sitting next to each other, like two friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

The men on both sides actually knew that their boss would talk about something on the road. Therefore, they all followed from a distance, and no one came up to disturb them.

The environment of Lanai Island is very good. Even if he has seen some world experience, Buffett has to admit that it is indeed very good here. The only downside is that it is too extravagant.

In fact, the idea is actually ridiculous. The most valuable thing on Lanai Island is actually the emerald rough buried in the ground. If you sell all these things, it will be enough to build two islands.

What's more, although this is a private island, it is of a commercial nature. That is to say, there is nothing extravagant or not extravagant. There is output here, there is taxation, and employment can be generated.

"Look, Warren, those old people have been working for so many years, and they don't know what they're doing. They have to run around for a meeting. My place is so good. Although there is no profit, it can still be maintained."

Buffett was stunned. He didn't expect that this rather mysterious golf club could be responsible for its own profits and losses. You know, if this is the case, you really can't say it is extravagant. Clearly, this is good business.

"William, maybe it's a little bit worse this year?"

"What's close, that bastard Soros, I lost a quarter of my clients here. Plus those Japanese, damn it, half of my clients have been killed."

"Hahaha, that's right, you should pay less. I heard that the VIP card has already been sold to two million."

"Is it expensive? It depends on who you are. If you come once a month, I'll give you one.

Warren, do you really think I'm selling VIP cards?

This is an opportunity to get in touch with target customers. If you are lucky, you can negotiate a deal. If you are unlucky, you will not meet the right person when you wander around the island every day. "

As an old fox, there is no reason why Buffett does not understand. He quickly figured out that, as an IT giant, the annual meeting of White Systems is usually held on Lanai Island. Then, there will naturally be many related companies. Looking at the location they chose, although it is closer to Asia, relatively speaking, flying here from Los Angeles is much easier than flying to Xiangjiang.

Generally speaking, it is best not to exceed six hours for a long-distance flight. For every hour that passes, the level of fatigue doubles.

A group of horse boys were a little confused, they didn't realize what the two of them were talking about. The ones we are talking about now are either flowers and plants or romance. Could it be that these two guys talked about it on the way.

In fact, the so-called big boss is almost like this. Once everyone states their intentions, that's it. Those who bargain are ordinary merchants.

The purpose of the consortium is nothing more than pricing power. Whether they are willing or unhappy, there is no way around William White.

Since it cannot be circumvented, it can only be commercial competition.

Of course, if they had a way to kill William White, of course they would choose this one, because it was the safest and cheapest.

It's a pity that this can only be thought about. They haven't decided whether to do it or not, but William White has already picked up the butcher knife.

A group of well-dressed gentlemen, when have you seen such hooligans. To be honest, they really dare not fight. Like a country, in the initial stage of its establishment, the government is always well-organized and the people are harmonious. After two or three generations, it is already very good to be able to guard the ancestral stall. Things like expanding the territory can only be fancied in a dream.
