Chapter 281 Undercurrent is surging

"Hello to you, young fellow."

The old man, who was affectionately called "Mr. John" by the outside world, saw the arrival of Chen Weidong and Chen Jie. He rubbed the brown crutches in his hands energetically and seemed to be in high spirits.

He was already over eighty years old at this time, and time had left too much fatigue on his face.

Even so, he still insists on working six hours a day and is the actual controller of many industries of the entire Rockefeller family.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. John!"

Chen Jie also changed his past demeanor and shook hands with the other party very solemnly, fully expressing the low-key and humble attitude of a junior.

I even wanted to take a photo with the other person with my camera. When the time comes, it will definitely become a hot topic online.

What headline will the media give?

Capital successor?

Grip of the century?

The Rockefeller family is a famous family in the United States, and it is also a great family that countless people aspire to.

Their power is not only economic, but also plays a decisive role in politics. They are also one of the five richest families in the world.

John Rockefeller Jr. continued the ability of his family heirs and led the Rockefeller family to continue to dominate the business world.

But it is a pity that every family's prominence will never last long.

Although the Rockefeller family is still brilliant, it has never been able to match its previous glory.

The assets of the entire family are no longer as wealthy as they were in the early twentieth century, but it is undeniable that as the family continues to grow, their combined power cannot be underestimated.

"Are you the young man who defeated Soros a few years ago? I have to say, you are indeed very courageous."

John Rockefeller Jr. looked Chen Jie up and down with high spirits, as if he wanted to find something unique about him.

A few years ago, Western hot money hunted Southeast Asia, destroying the currencies of one country after another. Finally, when it attacked the financial center of Xiangjiang, it encountered unprecedented strong resistance.

In the end, it ended with Wall Street's defeat and European funds cutting their losses.

This smokeless financial war shocked the world.

Among them, the man of the hour Chen Jie has naturally become the focus of investigations by numerous agencies.

However, when people got his first-hand information, they were shocked.

Such an ordinary young man, a gambler who was being chased for debt by gangs not long ago, an "illiterate" with only a high school education, actually defeated a group of Wall Street elites!

It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

The financial industry is easy to get started but difficult to master. High-level financial competition cannot be won by luck. It involves a lot of actuarial calculations, news, and comprehensive analysis of social aspects.

However, the opponent seized the opportunity at the most critical moment and dealt them a fatal blow.

"Shit luck!" They could only yell, and they would never admit that losing to a novice who had become a monk in the middle of the road must be due to luck.

But in the eyes of some people, they don't think so.

Among them, including the old man in front of me.

"Mr. John, you're flattering me, I just hit it by mistake." Chen Jie sneered. It was just this once in his life. Fortunately, he made the right bet.

"Luck is also a part of strength, not to mention young people like you who have suddenly risen." The old man smiled slightly and praised sincerely.

As an important figure in world capital, he certainly knows that his current status is largely due to the fact that he was born into the Rockefeller family.

But the young man in front of him, who does not have such background and resources at all, can achieve such dazzling results now, it has to be said to be a miracle.

"I think everything you just did was for me to see, right?" The old man withdrew his deep gaze and turned to look at Chen Weidong beside him.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mr. John."

Chen Weidong nodded directly and admitted.

Even though John Rockefeller Jr. was old, his vision was even more sinister.

Rockefeller had already guessed everything they did on the first and second floors just by thinking about it.

"Little guy, you are the most powerful trader I have ever seen, but since you said you are a short-term speculator, I guess you didn't come here just to attract my attention, right?"

The old man once again sighed at Chen Weidong's youth, and motioned for them to sit on the sofa next to him.

Personal assistant Gris, after knocking gently, pushed the door open and placed two cups of steaming coffee on the coffee table in front of them.

Then, he stood behind the old man calmly.

"Mr. John, it seems that you are not in a good mood, but maybe I can bring you some good news." Chen Weidong looked at the old man in front of him and said calmly.

"Oh? Tell me."

There was no emotion on the old man's face, as if he was talking about whether the weather would be sunny today.

From the beginning of the new energy crisis to the failure of the acquisition of the Northern California Solar Energy Company, John Rockefeller Jr. had been keenly aware that certain crises were quietly approaching.

After all, the Rockefeller family made its fortune by monopolizing oil.

What a terrible thing it would be if the emergence of new energy sources were not controlled by them and led by them.

What this means, no one knows better than them.

Can the Rockefeller family, which has been rich for six generations, continue its former glory after his death?

It was like a shadow that kept bothering him and kept him awake at night.

"What would you do if I said that in three days, the price of crude oil will soar to more than 30 US dollars?"

"More than 30 US dollars? This...absolutely impossible!"

The old man was shocked, but then he shook his head and said very firmly, "Unless...there is another Gulf War."

The Gulf War was a war launched by a multinational coalition led by the United States against Iraq in 1991.

However, this time the United States received authorization from the United Nations Security Council.

From a certain perspective, this is a legitimate war.

"I don't know if a war will happen, but judging from the global energy crisis, some countries will do anything for energy and may launch a new round of war at any time. Mr. John, do you think I am right?"

Chen Weidong leaned on the sofa and said slowly.

Even Chen Jie, who had always been slow and slow, heard the implication of Chen Weidong's words, secretly tightened his tight-fitting suit, and leaned forward slightly to sit upright.

"I think you are right, but so what?"

John Rockefeller Jr. naturally recognized who the "some countries" Chen Weidong was talking about, and at the same time he did not deny the correctness of this view.

But who can know when the war will happen?

Even if they are the Rockefeller family.

Of course, it is impossible to admit it.

"Little guy, if you came here because of this, I'm afraid you're going to fail. The price of oil is very stable and there is no chance of significant fluctuations in a short period of time."

As the old man spoke, there was a faint smile on his face, as if he was laughing that Chen Weidong was too young and did not understand the rules of the game in this world.
