Chapter 218: Deception Experts Also Sometimes Miss
() Xiao Qi smiled, "It is said that lawyers have poisonous eyes, and Anthony is not an ordinary person! Don't worry, as long as they dare to bet against each other, this group of guys will lose! Hmph, I really thought Hua Do Chinese people only give them money when they gamble with them? I want them to spit out everything they eat today!"
Anthony turned pale with fright, "Boss, this is Bank of Merrill Lynch! The top five investment and financial institution giants in the United States!"
What he meant was to ask Xiao Qi to be more cautious. Those who can make money in Bank of Merrill Lynch are all elites in the world, so they should not be too arrogant.
"I appreciate your prudence, but trust me I'm not kidding with my own money."
Xiao Qi definitely couldn't explain to him that he knew that the price of oil would usher in a sharp drop because of his experience in the previous life.
Speaking of which, the life of an otaku is also very boring. When Xiao Qi stayed in the dormitory, he often watched some TV programs, and also liked to browse the news everywhere-to put it bluntly, it was boring.
I remember that a few months before he was reborn and came back, he watched a comprehensive discussion program about oil, which talked about the detailed trend of New York oil futures in the six years from 2006 to 2012. Riding a roller coaster is even more thrilling, and I don’t know how many investors and investment banks have lost their fortunes.
After being reborn, Xiao Qi immediately marked all the things he could remember with secret symbols, including this deeply remembered oil show.
He knew that since 2005, the price of oil has been rising one after another, but there were several sharp drops in the middle. From July 2006 to January 2007, there was a drop from nearly 80 US dollars to 50 US dollars. In the case of gold, the decline almost reached 35%, which made everyone think that the era of falling oil prices was coming.
But I didn't think much about it. This is just the beginning of a sharp rise and fall in oil prices.
The program at that time was jointly produced by experts from Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. They were not afraid to share what they had experienced.
Several experts said unanimously that the oil price in the past few years has not been controlled by their forecasts at all, but it is a bit like a devil in the world. Ups and downs, after a few failures, they were so scared that they didn't dare to go in to operate.
Yes.
You read that right.
The leader of these three US investment banks. It has actually reached the point where he dare not enter the arena to operate. From this, we can see how chaotic the situation is and how out of control it is.
The reason is that, in the face of trillions of funds in the entire oil futures market, no matter how wealthy and powerful the three of them are, they can only follow the trend when the world's financial and political situations are unpredictable. Unable to fully control the situation.
Xiao Qi remembered that the three financial giants were failures. So he is not afraid that Merrill Lynch will not bet against him.
To be honest, it's not Xiao Qi who is too deceitful and wants to be a businessman. He would never think of making a VAM agreement at all.
Now the irritated teenager felt that if he didn't take the opportunity to teach Merrill Lynch a lesson, he would be really sorry for this group of shameless people who often entrap honest people.
To some extent, this kind of behavior of myself should be regarded as doing justice for the heavens!
Danze went there for a whole morning and didn't come back to the office.
Just an office brunette in a white shirt and a gray skirt. But they came in several times, conveying the news that Xiao Qi and the others need to wait.
In the end, she simply took Xiao Qi and the two together. Went to a western restaurant next to him for a working meal, and after greeting the information that Merrill Lynch would pay for the bill, Xiao Qi directly ordered two of the most expensive and best set menus, and also ordered a bottle of 1988 champagne by the way. Eat and drink.
In front of the beautiful woman, Anthony maintained his demeanor, chatting and laughing with the beautiful woman while eating, but it was obvious that this chestnut-haired beauty was not a vase, and she was more interested in Xiao Qi.
But Xiao Qi was too busy fighting with delicious food, so he asked questions about the beauties, even the beauties with chestnut hair couldn't ask any questions.
After lunch, Xiao Qi directly asked the beauty with chestnut hair to take him to the surrounding shops, and also told the office to tell them to go back when Danze got news.
Danze naturally discussed with a group of colleagues from the oil futures department, and made various assessments of the gambling agreement proposed by Xiao Qi. This kind of discussion and decision-making alone involved dozens of Merrill Lynch elites, needless to say Hundreds of thousands of Merrill Lynch intelligence agents who provided intelligence and reconnaissance for the information in their hands.
Even though Bank of Merrill Lynch's annual profit exceeds tens of billions of dollars, this VAM agreement worth at least five or six billion dollars has attracted a lot of attention.
Xiao Qi is not worried at all about whether Bank of Merrill Lynch will agree to bet against each other. Experts like them like to make money through this kind of forward-looking bet. Compared with any capital operation, it is much more convenient and simple. Second to the speed of grabbing money.
Going shopping with the free beautiful tour guide, Xiao Qi finally completed the first trip to Wall Street with the six or seven years in the United States in his previous life. He also bought a little gift for the chestnut-haired beauty, and because Xiao Qi Xiao Qi's mouth was so sweet that when she received the call back to the company, the beauty with chestnut hair was still reluctant to part with Xiao Qi.
Sitting in Danzig's office again, besides Danzig, there were several middle-aged people sitting in it, and one of them was said to be Franco, the manager of the investment management department.
Originally, the VAM agreement was not decided so quickly, but Merrill Lynch is quite proud of the smooth sailing in the VAM over the years, especially when facing an upstart kid from Huaguo, this kind of superior mentality , manifested in all the twenty-eight elites participating in the discussion.
Moreover, the futures price of oil has always been the focus of Merrill Lynch's attention. They have revised this year's trend three times, but none of them think that by the end of the year, the price of oil futures will not rise to 100 US dollars above.
"Make a decision quickly, gentlemen!" Deputy Manager Danze urged his colleagues, "Don't let that Huaguo boy slip away! This is a net profit of one billion US dollars. Think about what we can do for Merrill Lynch. How much can we earn? How much can we earn for ourselves? This beautiful and lightning-quick gambling agreement in the future is definitely a case that can be included in textbooks!"
Not only because of Danze's instigation, but also because of the greed and contempt in everyone's hearts, this gambling agreement, which was originally not suitable for being released so quickly, was drafted in a record five hours.
ps: It’s a risk, I finally finished writing today’s update on time, and continue to be proud of the sixth update! By the way, my little princess’s cough is getting better, why is Xiucai’s little cough not getting better? I’ve been eating rice porridge for five or six days, and I just started eating some boiled vegetables yesterday. Xiucai really wants to eat meat... This is the reason, openly seeking comfort from the brave generals! !
