Chapter 945 Shocking Bad News
After holding his hand, Greenspan smiled.
"Mr. Xu, you are welcome. You are the most financially talented person among the younger generation I have met so far."
"Thank you for your compliment, I hope to have more opportunities I’d like to ask you about financial and investment issues.”
“I also hope to have more communication opportunities with young talents like Mr. Xu.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, inexplicably agreeing with each other.
“The two of you had a great time talking to each other.” George W. Bush said with a smile.
“Only genius can attract genius.” Greenspan said with a smile.
Xu Liang smiled modestly, but did not deny it.
You can be arrogant but you cannot be arrogant, otherwise you will only be looked down upon.
After Bush smiled, he asked the two of them to sit down.
After waving, the waiter next to him brought Xu Liang a cup of coffee.
“This is the Jamaican Blue Mountain given to me by Mrs. Feroli, the owner of the manor. It is one of the best coffees in the world. Although it is not precious to Mr. Xu, it is the owner’s heart. , let’s drink it today.”
Xu Liang nodded with a smile and stirred it gently with a spoon for a while.
Hazy heat mixed with rich aroma is steaming up.
After looking at him, Bush smiled.
"Mr. Xu, there have been a lot of rumors about you recently."
"Mr. President, are you referring to things in the oil futures market?" Xu Liang said with a smile.
Bush Jr. nodded.
“Energy is the lifeblood of global economic development. Your battle with Soros has triggered violent shocks in the global oil futures market, attracted a lot of attention, and made many people have opinions about you.
< br>
There are even proposals in the Senate to imprison you directly on charges of illegal interference in financial markets. "
Xu Liang smiled and said: "Mr. President, now that you understand this matter, you should understand that it was not my intention for this duel to break out.
George Soros, Ellison, Paul Singer, etc. must deal with me from a position of strength.
Even the homeless people on Kensington Street know that in order to survive, I cannot let them slaughter me. "
Bush smiled as he picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"The truth is correct, but in the eyes of many people, your resistance is the original sin."
"I don't think Mr. President is included among them." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Haha, of course. The Bush Family Foundation is Hanhua's big client. Even if everyone in the world wishes you bad luck, that doesn't include me."
After the laughter subsided .
“However, I am only the president and cannot represent the will of the majority of people.”
Xu Liang frowned slightly, "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Bush Jr. waved, and the secretary next to him immediately brought over a document.
“Let’s take a look.”
Xu Liang took it over curiously and glanced at it, his expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously tightened his fingers on the document in his hand.
At this moment, he felt more frightened and angry than ever before, and his breathing became rapid.
Take a deep breath.
Many years of business career have gradually stabilized his mind.
Seeing this, Greenspan showed a hint of appreciation on his face.
Stable psychological quality is a necessary factor for success.
What is even more rare is that Xu Liang is only twenty-six years old, very young, which makes him even more valuable.
Slowly put the file on the table.
Looking directly at George W. Bush, he said in a deep voice.
"Mr. President, the use of U.S. strategic oil reserves cannot be approved without your signature."
Xu Liang knows very well that once the United States announces that it will use strategic oil reserves to stabilize oil prices, it will have a negative impact on the world. What is the impact of oil prices?
When the time comes, he will be the one to resist the falling global oil prices on his own.
No matter how confident he is, he can't stop this raging tide.
Lost.
"You are right. I did not sign this agreement." George W. Bush smiled.
Xu Liang was shocked and said happily: "You refused?"
"Don't be happy too early. Although I didn't sign, there are too many interests entangled in the political arena. Even if Even I can't completely stop this.
Therefore, this matter will be solemnly announced, but it will not be implemented. ”
The joy on Xu Liang’s face solidified.
Financial market is ultimately a market maintained by confidence.
Once investors lose confidence, then stocks and bonds , futures, will inevitably end in a decline
So, as long as an influential person in the US government comes out to announce this, it will have a severe impact on the entire oil market.
There is no follow-up action, it just makes the impact last shorter.
"Xu, this matter will be announced in three days. If you have other strategies, you should prepare them in advance." Xu Liang nodded.
"Mr. President, thank you very much for the reminder."
Bush Jr. smiled and said, "Yes, I am an investor in Hanhua."
Xu Liang smiled in agreement on the outside, but sneered in his heart.
If Soros Sr. had not promised enough benefits, and with the power of George W. Bush, the resolution to use the U.S. strategic oil reserve would not have been passed even in name only.
After saying this, Bush changed the topic and talked about some football games and art, but nothing else.
Xu Liang waited for a while and then said goodbye.
Bush Jr. was sent out the door, looking at his retreating figure.
"Alan, what do you think his chances of winning this showdown are?"
"70%."
Bush Jr. was surprised: "Are you so optimistic about him?"
"Soros is old." Greenspan said meaningfully.
Bush Jr. didn't quite understand what he meant. After thinking for a while, he gradually understood.
It is clear at a glance who is more worthy of investment, George Soros, who is almost 80 years old, or Golden Caesar, who is only 26 years old.
“Xu is indeed more worthy of investment, but he may not be able to block Soros’s offensive this time.”
Bush said.
Greenspan smiled and said: "George, the daily trading scale of the global oil market is limited, and short sellers are not fools with a lot of money and no place to put it. No one invests all their wealth as soon as they come up.
As long as Golden Caesar can withstand the short-selling offensive in the first three days, seeing that the government has no follow-up actions, the short-selling offensive will slow down and oil prices will reverse.”
Bush thought for a moment and nodded.
"Kim Caesar may not be able to survive the first three days."
"Let us wait and see, but I do have some confidence in him."
"Oh? Why? "
Greenspan turned his head, looked in the direction Xu Liang left and smiled.
"Intuition!"
——
Sitting in the car returning to the city, Xu Liang closed his eyes and sat in the back seat of the car, silent.
But Lu Hui, who had been together for many years, could feel the anxiety radiating from him.
Opened his mouth.
When the words came to her lips, she suppressed the questions in her heart for fear of disturbing Xu Liang's train of thought.
Huo Gang also noticed his emotions and drove the car much more steadily.
Time passed little by little, and we soon arrived at the Xu Family Manor in Atherton.
After entering the villa, Xu Liang ignored anyone and went directly to the conference room on the basement floor.
After thinking for a long time.
He took out his encrypted satellite phone and dialed.
A deep and steady voice came over.
"Boss."
"It's me, have the files of the Loli Project been sorted out?"
"Already sorted."
"Very good, you take File No. 4 and go to the UK to find Huo Yan, the person in charge of Hanhua's London office. He will take you to Buckingham Palace when the time comes. Next, all you need to do is..."
Xu Liang is serious After explaining, he hung up the phone.
Heaved a long sigh of relief.
"I planned to use this at the most critical moment, but now I can only use it for emergencies."
"Boss?"
Lu Hui shouted.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s already noon, you haven’t had lunch yet.”
“It’s already noon?”
Xu Liang Surprised.
"To be precise, it's a quarter of an hour until one o'clock in the afternoon."
"It's already so late."
He remembered that it was 9:30 in the morning when he went to see George W. Bush, and it was time to chat. It wasn't long, I didn't expect time to fly by so quickly.
"You have been thinking about things just now, I didn't dare to disturb you."
Xu Liang nodded with a smile and walked outside.
"I happen to be hungry too. Let's see what delicious food has been cooked in the kitchen."
Seeing how calm and composed he was now, chatting and laughing, Lu Hui felt relieved.
According to her understanding, as long as the man regains his composure, it means he has found a solution to the problem.
