The call ended.
Everyone in the meeting room was in disbelief.
Even though they had analyzed the data and predicted the result, they were still very shocked.
It was difficult to control the price of crude oil.
It wasn't something that America could take on alone, so they had to let go.
Previously, it was America that was completely suppressing the price of crude oil.
But now, the price of crude oil would increase rapidly in a short period of time.
The people had made a prediction at the last minute and bought most of the crude oil.
It was considered a victory for international trading.
Other countries might find that although America had lifted the suppression of crude oil, the large increase in price will make the nation howl.
However, it was still better than before. Before this, there was no oil. Now that there was oil, the price was a little high, but there's nothing they could say.
4 a.m.
In the conference room—
Everyone stood up and applauded.
On the other side of the college classroom, two professors kept cursing.
They didn't know the situation because of a signal interruption.
The sky was getting bright.
"Stop sleeping. Let's get partying."
"Although the signal was interrupted, I'm guessing that America will still be in power. Not only will the price of crude oil not rise, but it might fall!"
The oil sanctions against various countries would still continue.
"I think that this isn't a signal interruption at all. Maybe things were getting heated and they got into a fight."
"Stop it and go to sleep. You guys act like you guys are experts who know everything."
"More like dumb bricks. What's there to be excited about? Get lost, I'm going to sleep."
At that moment—
In the Malacca Strait—
The sea was calm and the stars were twinkling. The only sound that could be heard was the waves hitting the side of the ships.
Two giant cruise ships met as they moved one nautical mile apart from each other.
The sailors had smiles on their faces.
They had been on the waters for so long.
This time, the ship was finally moving and they would eventually spot land.
They could do lots of things when they reach the shore. They could go shopping and find women.
"Hey, buddy! Where do your oil ships transport to?"
The two ships were sailing so close together that the sailors could hear each other.
"We're transporting it to China."
"Aiya, China is also buying oil? That must be a big order. We're transporting it to America."
Everyone's jaw dropped when they heard that the oil was going to America.
That America was really smart, huh? They knew that it was unrealistic for a country to control the world's resources, so they made preparations in advance.
I thought that America would suffer a big loss this time.
However, the price of crude oil had nothing to do with the sailors.
They were solely focused on getting ashore.
It was dawn.
People were still asleep.
The media were getting to work because they had an explosive story.
As the head of the financial world, Citibank had spent a lot of money to buy crude oil.
Citibank actually made a move in the downturn of oil.
The news got out so suddenly that people didn't have time to react.
They didn't know what the connection between Citibank and Ryan was.
They never thought about it.
But when the news broke, people realized that the crude oil purchased by Citibank was linked to the crude oil futures purchased by Ryan.
Oriental Daily: "Shocking news!!! The investment genius Ryan and Citibank's choices coincide—"
Sofei: "Shocking!!! Ryan predicted Citibank's thoughts in the program—"
Headline: "Genius fell into a crude oil trap and lost all his money. Turns out to be fake news, the truth is—"
The Daily Dolphin: "Shocking Truth—Crude oil prices plummet. Stock God and the people."
Whether it was real or fake, all sorts of news were flying around.
The people were confused as they didn't know the truth.
Many news outlets used different headlines to attract the people's attention.
Everyone got their news on various media platforms.
From the President of Citibank, old man James' point of view, he was already above the media as long as he didn't release any information.
Perhaps when the price of crude oil really skyrocketed, people would be able to see the truth.
At the same time, old man James could shut up the media at any time.
He was capable of shutting them down with a single order.
But why would he do that?
This was a great achievement.
If anyone stood in his position, it would be difficult for them to climb higher.
However, the rise in the price of crude oil would definitely push him to the peak of the mountain.
Most importantly, it was because of Ryan.
What did James think that America lacked? They lacked talented people.
Any powerful country would first have a reserve of resources, and secondly, a reserve of talents.
Most countries valued talent more than the average person could imagine.
Real geniuses did not need to apply for college because the university would personally ask them to join the university.
It was obvious that the news that James had released was making many university professors jealous.
In an office at the University of San Fransisco—
Professor Smith and Professor Tisse were jumping up and down like children.
"Oh my God, it's real, it's real."
These two old men had not slept for the whole night because they felt troubled after the live broadcast was interrupted last night.
Now, they saw the news.
The two old men were not normal. It was revealed through that that the price of crude oil was bound to soar to a ridiculous extent.
So Ryan's investment—
"No, no, I want to interrupt the filming of the program and bring Ryan directly to the school," Smith said excitedly.
"Yes. I'll definitely nurture him well when he comes. He's a genius," Tisse replied.
"You nurture idiots. Ryan will definitely follow me."
The two men started quarreling.
At that moment, the students who had spent the night with the two old men could not hold it in any longer.
"Professors, can you listen to what I have to say?"
The two men wanted to say, "Get lost."
However, the student was relatively famous in the field of finance. There was a lot of room for him to grow in the future.
The two men suppressed their anger and said, "Tell us then, what should we do?"
The graduate student's expression was a little unnatural. He felt a little bitter in his heart.
'Why have you guys never valued me this much?'
But this student knew that he was not on the same level as Ryan.
"Teachers, have you guys ever thought that with Mr. Ryan's skills, there would be a ton of universities, even government authorities, that would do whatever it takes, to reel him in?
The two of you shouldn't be enemies right now."
