Considering that Ye Chen was extremely decisive at the time and sold the crude oil futures in his hands without even a second thought.
In addition, Ye Chen's reminder to him at the last moment before the market closed told him to stop while he was ahead.
He didn't think much of it before.
But now.
His intuition told him that it must not be that simple.
It's not just this crude oil incident that is complicated.
And Ye Chen acted decisively as if he were a prophet!
However, these are not enough to stand on their own feet based on Ye Chen's previous analysis of the conflicts across the ocean and in the Middle East.
So, he was curious.
I wonder if Ye Chen really saw something in advance.
In Li Changfeng's tense questioning, Ye Chen did not answer immediately.
Instead, he was silent for a while.
"It's not that I have any insight. I just took a gamble like you. But you bet that the international crude oil price will rise above $100 due to this conflict, while I bet that this conflict is actually a trap, a trap to lure those capital sharks into it! Fortunately, the final result is in line with my guess!"
After a moment of silence, Ye Chen said this in a serious tone.
In the past, the whole world could not understand the conflict in the Middle East that was provoked on the other side of the ocean. Even the think tanks of various countries were probably unable to come up with any unique insights.
It was not until the international crude oil price event subsided that people began to speculate on the intention of the madman on the other side of the ocean who first provoked a war conflict and then disregarded his dignity to negotiate, when looking back on this incident.
Therefore, Ye Chen did not mind speaking out the speculations from all sides that had not been confirmed in his previous life.
However.
However, Li Changfeng didn't understand.
"A trap? A trap to lure the capitalists into it? Brother Ye, what do you mean?"
"What was the identity of that madman on the other side of the ocean?" Ye Chen asked.
"merchant?"
This is a common knowledge, but Li Changfeng still responded uncertainly.
"Yes, that's right, he is a businessman! Since he came to power, hasn't he done a lot to make profits for the family?" Ye Chen asked again.
"This..." Li Changfeng became more and more confused.
"In his heart, money is the most important thing to him, especially his own and his family's interests. Before provoking the conflict in the Middle East, he was different from his predecessors in provoking wars everywhere. He even gave up many opportunities to provoke wars and even withdrew troops from all over the world. It's a bit exaggerated and ironic that compared with his predecessors, he can be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize! Do you think it's possible for such a person to suddenly provoke a war for no reason?" Ye Chen said.
According to the information given by Ye Chen.
Li Changfeng's brain quickly and chaotically filtered out the thoughts that suddenly surged up.
Ye Chen's voice continued to ring.
"At least in my opinion, he would never start a war for no reason. There are only two possibilities for him to start a war. One is to benefit the other side of the ocean, and the other is to make profits for himself and his family. But in reality, provoking a war in the Middle East will do more harm than good to the other side of the ocean. This is completely inconsistent with the interests of the other side of the ocean. So it can only be the latter, to make profits for himself and his family!"
"If it is for profit for oneself and the family, then as far as this incident is concerned, the only profit opportunity is in the price of international crude oil. First, use war to raise the oil price, buy low and sell high, and then issue a statement to stop the war and negotiate, so that the incident can be quickly calmed down, and the interests can be completely transformed in a quick battle! This is what I thought of this conflict before. Based on this, I took a gamble despite the huge temptation, but I was not sure whether I was right or wrong, and this assumption was really absurd, so I didn't tell you! But based on the current situation, it seems that my guess is correct to some extent, but as to whether the real situation is really like this, I am afraid there will never be an answer. After all, that madman will definitely not be honest with the outside world!
Ye Chen's words made Li Changfeng fall into endless shock.
If Ye Chen hadn't said it, he would never have been able to associate these things.
Now that Ye Chen said this, everything seemed to make sense...even though it sounded ridiculous.
But considering the controversy that the madman on the other side of the ocean has been involved in, he is really capable of doing such a thing!
And Ye Chen, based on the madman on the other side of the ocean ordering air strikes on the Middle East, was able to deduce these absurd and ridiculous things? And he was so precise in maximizing the profits in the international crude oil futures market. What on earth is this brain made of?
If the truth of the matter is really as he said, I'm afraid there is no one else in the world who can make such a judgment, right?
"Brother Ye, if that's the case, why didn't the other party wait for the oil price to rise again before taking action? If they wanted to cheat those capital speculators, why didn't they cheat them more ruthlessly? Anyway, those capital tycoons have enough blood on their bodies, so it doesn't matter if they give a little more!
At this time, Zhang Jingshan, who was standing by and pretending to be indifferent to the matter, asked seriously into his phone.
Little did he know that Ye Chen on the other end almost couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Even Li Changfeng and Zhao Jiwei, who were digesting Ye Chen's words, looked at him as an idiot.
"Why are you looking at me? Did I say something wrong?"
Zhang Jingshan frowned when he noticed something was wrong.
"Let Changfeng and Jiwei tell you why. I won't talk about this any more. I'm going to hang up now if there's nothing else!"
After the voice fell, Ye Chen hung up the phone.
Zhang Jingshan just stood there in a daze, with a confused look on his face.
Then he looked at the two of them and said, "Oh, no, you all figured it out, but I don't?"
"Is it difficult to understand?" Li Changfeng looked up with a suspicious look. "Is it easy to understand?" Zhang Jingshan said.
Looking at Zhang Jingshan's stubborn little eyes.
Li Changfeng couldn't bear to hit him again, and said in a stern voice, "If the truth is really the same as what Brother Ye said, then the madman on the other side of the ocean must stop while he is ahead, otherwise once the truth is revealed, what do you think will greet that madman? Using the situation in the Middle East as a springboard for his own vested interests, he will use a few days to push up the price, complete the interest conversion before the market closes, and then use the market close period as a buffer to clear all traces, and then use a ceasefire and peace talks to end the whole incident. Combined with his unconventional style of doing things and changing his mind every day, the whole world will not think about the tricks and strangeness of the conflict and crude oil incidents, but will only think that this is his usual brainless and showy operation. This is perfect, truly perfect!"
Take a short break.
In Zhang Jingshan's innocent and confused expression.
Li Changfeng said again, "If we delay it any further out of greed, we will have to wait until the next Friday to welcome the buffer period of the market closure. But before the buffer period arrives, we must maintain a tense situation with the Middle East, and even have to escalate the conflict. In this way, I'm afraid that the madman on the other side of the ocean will fail in his self-directed and self-acted show. By then, he may not be able to cover it up. So...if what Brother Ye said is the truth of the incident, then a quick victory and quitting while we are ahead is the best choice, and it is also the only correct choice!
