In such a context where the whole world thought that the conflict in the Middle East had been put on the brakes, to be honest, if it weren't for Ye Chen, Li Changfeng would have withdrawn in time to avoid backlash. You know, this is a gambling conflict in itself. The gambling conflict caused the price to soar, but once the conflict failed, there was a high probability that the price would fall...
In such a gamble of 5 billion US dollars, if the international crude oil price drops by 1 US dollar, it will be a loss of several hundred million US dollars. If it drops by 10 US dollars, it will be a loss of more than 1 billion US dollars.
So why would Li Changfeng be so careless and willful?
But it was precisely because Ye Chen had not given the order yet that Li Changfeng, who was thinking of sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman, insisted on not leaving.
However...
However, in such a situation that the whole world was caught off guard, on the other side of the ocean, that madman who was always making a fuss ordered the throwing of rockets without any warning to provoke a conflict?
It is estimated that no one in the world would have thought of this, but Ye Chen was so sure of it...
With his mind blank in shock, Li Changfeng even suspected that Ye Chen knew the psychopath on the other side of the ocean, and that this sudden bombing without any warning was planned by the two of them!
In a trance.
Finally, Li Changfeng was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.
"Changfeng, have you watched the news? Ye Chen is amazing again. There's a bomb in the Middle East. It's really a bomb! Damn, Brother Ye is so predictable!" Zhang Jingshan shouted incoherently.
*Yes, I just got the news!" Li Changfeng tried his best to appear calm.
"Short-term huge profits, this is another short-term huge profits, I know that Brother Ye is definitely targeting the short-term!" Zhang Jingshan could hardly suppress his emotions, "Changfeng, is this wave of 50% profit stable?
"Fifty percent? No, I'm afraid Brother Ye has underestimated it. Wasn't it just over 40 US dollars a barrel when we bought it? It will soon soar to 100 US dollars a barrel, and even 100 US dollars is just the starting point!" said Li Changfeng.
"Fuck! $100 a barrel?
Zhang Jingshan was numb.
Although he made a huge profit of 21 times by shorting Stella last time, that was based on a terrifying 50-fold leverage, and because of insufficient capital, he only made a few billion.
And this time, that is to say, after deducting the principal, the multiple of profit is only 1.5, but based on the principal of 5 billion, it is calculated to be 70 to 80 billion. In addition... if 10 billion is just the starting point as Li Changfeng said, then the amount that can be earned by then may be far more than 70 to 80 billion.
How could he not be numb?
I just made 8 billion from shorting Stella, and I will make another 18 billion from this wave of international crude oil.
Zhang Jingshan felt like he was dreaming...
How could he be so virtuous and capable? How could he be so virtuous and capable!
In half a year, his net worth increased from tens of millions to nearly 20 billion...
More importantly, these assets are not company assets or anything like that, but real money lying in bank accounts!
At this moment, the only emotion that lingered in Zhang Jingshan's mind was that being able to get close to Ye Chen was really a great honor for Zhang Jingshan's family. If it weren't for Ye Chen, he would probably still be the CEO of an Internet company with a limitless ceiling. In this life, let alone a net worth of 10 billion, it would be difficult for him to have a net worth of 1 billion...
However, what he didn't know was that his Zhang family really met Ye Chen because of his ancestors' graves. Without Ye Chen, the entire Zhang family would be ruined, not to mention their wealth. At this time in his previous life, Mr. Zhang was dying under the successive blows, and Zhang Jingshan and Zhang Xingguo, the father and son, had already been imprisoned... unjustly imprisoned!
Even with the huge network of contacts that Mr. Zhang had built up over the years, it was difficult to save the father and son, whose nature was "extremely bad" at the time. As for Li Changfeng, he was probably disabled due to a car accident, so he couldn't take care of Zhang Jingshan.
However, Zhang Jingshan will never know all this in his life, and Ye Chen is even less likely to tell him.
Under the numbness of Zhang Jingshan.
Li Changfeng nodded heavily, "Yes, now it depends on whether the Middle East will fight back. If it fights back, the price of crude oil will definitely exceed $100 a barrel! It is reported that a general-level commander in the Middle East has been killed in the attack. If this news is true, the Middle East will undoubtedly retaliate wildly. After all, this has formed an intolerable and irreconcilable hatred. As long as the Middle East fights back, the other side of the ocean, as the party that provoked the dispute and conflict, will definitely escalate the war, so
Crude oil is about to become a hot commodity, and the probability of breaking through $100 a barrel is more than 90% at present!"
At this time, Li Changfeng's palms were sweating. Of course, this was due to excitement.
As for what Ye Chen said at the time, that there were only 50 points, he had apparently forgotten about it.
In his opinion, Brother Ye must have underestimated him, for sure!
But that's true. Making inaccurate judgments occasionally is what makes us human. If we could calculate everything perfectly, we would be gods.
"But why did Brother Ye say there were only 50 points?"
After the shock, Zhang Jingshan suddenly remembered the 50 percent that Ye Chen mentioned in the coffee shop after hearing Li Changfeng's words.
"That was just Brother Ye's prediction. He probably didn't expect that the general-level commander in the Middle East would die in the attack. Now that the general-level commander of the attacked party has died, the nature of the situation is completely different!" Li Changfeng gave his own explanation.
Zhang Jingshan thought for a moment and said, "Let's see what Brother Ye says then!"
Different from Li Changfeng who has some relatively independent opinions, Zhang Jingshan is already deeply blind about Ye Chen.
"Okay, if nothing unexpected happens, the situation has come to this point. 50 points will definitely not satisfy Brother Ye!" said Li Changfeng.
"What if he withdraws from the market at 50 points?" Zhang Jingshan subconsciously asked.
Li Changfeng suddenly fell silent.
Then he said, "We'll see then!
"Um!
Zhang Jingshan nodded and said nothing more, "By the way, do you know the mobile game Samsara?
"How could I not know? Didn't Brother Ye already promote this mobile game and make it a hot topic? I even downloaded it specially to play it. What's more, even someone like me who has no interest in mobile games at all, got hooked on it!" said Li Changfeng.
"Then do you know who is behind this mobile game?" Zhang Jingshan asked.
"Hmm? Who?
Li Changfeng said subconsciously.
But the next moment, his eyes widened.
Because Zhang Jingshan would never bring this up for no reason, "Don't say this is Brother Ye's game!
"Yes, it's the game under Brother Ye's company! At first, I was puzzled why Brother Ye would promote a game, no matter how fun it was. After all, that was not in line with Brother Ye's way of doing things. So I followed the development team of 'Samsara' to investigate. It would have been better if I hadn't investigated. After investigating to the end, I found that 'Samsara' was a product of a company called Qianlong Game Company, and the major shareholder of Qianlong Game Company with a 72% stake was Brother Ye! After further investigation, I found that it was Brother Ye who completed the acquisition a few months ago!" said Zhang Jingshan.
Li Changfeng: "Brother Ye is getting involved in the gaming industry again?"
"Yes, and it was planned several months ago. Judging from Brother Ye's personality, since he is involved, it will definitely not be a small-scale business. Otherwise, why would he acquire a broken game company?" Zhang Jingshan said.
Li Changfeng paused, "What do you want to say?"
"Think about it, Tencent is an invincible overlord in the gaming industry. Brother Ye suddenly entered the gaming industry. I suspect that he is preparing to snatch food from Tencent and wants to challenge Tencent! Because I checked the Qianlong game company, and its current business is just one game, 'Reincarnation', which has just entered the market! So, my intuition tells me that with Brother Ye's style, he will either not do it or do it in a big way. I'm afraid he is preparing to compete with Tencent Games!" Zhang Jingshan said seriously.
After saying that, he suddenly sighed again, "Oh, it's a pity that Brother Ye didn't include us, otherwise we would have joined in. If we can really take down Tencent Games in the future, the sense of accomplishment...I'm afraid that even the top young models and top women can't compare to it!"
Li Changfeng was speechless.
