Just today, more than 300 financial companies were established in Pittsburgh, with more than 10 billion yuan of funds flowing into Pittsburgh. It can be foreseeable that Pittsburgh will be the city with the most development potential in New England in the future, and will even surpass Philadelphia...

On the TV, the host shouted very excitedly, as if a believer was witnessing a miracle.

Zhou Ming and Woodrunk were sitting in front of the TV. The two Chicago families were very upset by listening to the host's bold words on the TV and said bluntly that they had just taken the dividends of the Great Lakes. If all the funds from the Great Lakes flow into Chicago, Chicago could also become a very important financial city.

Looking at Wood and Lang Ke's childish look, who wanted to protest but didn't dare to say it directly, Zhou Ming couldn't help laughing out loud.

Faced with their various indirect attacks, Zhou Ming went straight to the point: "Woodronk, are you blaming me? It seems that Pittsburgh and Miron have developed, but Chicago has been excluded."

Wood and Lang Ke smiled and said that they had never had such an idea, but that tone and attitude could tell everything.

Zhou Ming smiled and said that it is normal for them to complain: "After all, Pittsburgh and Meilong have achieved the greatest profit now, and almost the funds of the entire Great Lakes are supporting Pittsburgh's urban transformation, and with the market support of China, there is almost no risk."

Wood and Lang Ke looked at each other, not understanding what Zhou Ming meant that.

"What I want to say is that, as a recessional old industrial area, the Great Lakes region may not be able to support two Pittsburghs even if it gathers all its capital, not to mention that most people are unwilling to admit their failure."

Zhou Ming continued: "But Chicago is also my very important partner. Of course, I haven't forgotten it. It's just that in my opinion, Chicago is unique. I think Mr. Wood and Langke, you must not want to be the same as Pittsburgh."

When Wood and Langke said this, they really hoped that Chicago would also enjoy the dividends of the Great Lakes' recession, but if they were allowed to learn from Pittsburgh and follow the same method to make Chicago the second Pittsburgh, they didn't want it and couldn't do it.

"But Chicago also has its own unique advantage, namely your agricultural futures market and where you are."

Zhou Ming said: "So in my opinion, Chicago can completely take a different path than Pittsburgh."

After hearing this, Wood and Lang Ke immediately became energetic and hurriedly asked Zhou Ming what kind of path he should take.

"Continue to take root in agriculture and become the World Food Trading Center!" Zhou Ming said.

Wood and Lang Ke's faces began to become serious. They told Zhou Ming that in fact, the goal they mentioned was what they had been doing, but the major eastern financial wealthy families were constantly watching them, and they had no chance to achieve it.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, you should know that Chicago's security problems have always been very serious. Behind this is the shadow of the Eastern Consortium, the result of their continuous provision of weapons to the communities in Chicago." Wood felt a little bit gritted when talking about this.

On the other hand, Langke continued to say that there is also a New York futures exchange, which was also established to compete with Chicago.

"But the financial consortium in the east is too strong, although Chicago is now

It is still the largest futures exchange, but that's it. Commodity trading on the New York Stock Exchange is catching up. Even when it comes to futures exchanges, many people will not think of Chicago, but New York."

Wood said helplessly, not optimistic about the future competition with New York, and could not think of any way to reverse this decline.

Zhou Ming told them at this time: "That's because you didn't find the right method, especially now there is a great opportunity!"

"What opportunity?" Wood and Langke both became curious.

"It's this Irank War!" Zhou Ming replied.

Wood and Langke were confused after hearing this. Of course, they were not unaware of the Irank War. On the contrary, as the top chaebols in the United States, even if this matter has little to do with them, they will definitely get the news as soon as possible.

But that's true, they like to understand that the Irank War was a war launched by the Texas consortium and other chaebols for oil and stabilizing the dollar, and it has nothing to do with Chicago.

Or the post-war oil-for-food plan?

But the problem is that Chicago is conducting bulk grain futures, which is essentially different from oil-for-food transactions such as oil-for-food transactions. Just like the oil-for-food program that lasted for ten years, money was made by Morgan and the eastern consortiums. It was considered his mercy to be able to drink some soup in Chicago.

Logically speaking, Zhou Ming shouldn’t have been unaware of this situation, so why do you still say so?

Zhou Ming told them that this situation should not be analyzed simply from the perspective of the Irank War, but should be relaxed and magnified.

"Simply put, what kind of results do you think this war will bring?"

Zhou Ming emphasized: "Well... don't need to be too complicated, just the simplest and most direct consequences."

Although he didn't understand what Zhou Ming sold, Wood honestly replied: "The oil price soared, global capital flowed back to New York, and the US dollar is still the first world currency."

Zhou Ming nodded and said that it was like this: "Let's put the last two aside first and focus on the first one."

"It's still the same. We don't need to analyze it too deeply. The most direct point is that when oil prices rise, the prices of gasoline and diesel will inevitably rise. In order to cope with the rising high oil prices, the whole world will inevitably seek alternative energy. This is the opportunity for Chicago."

Seeing that Wood and Langke were still frowning and did not fully understand, Zhou Ming then reminded them: "You should all know the environmental protection campaign that is being launched in Europe at the moment? Simply put, it is to require the abolition of fossil fuels and the use of clean energy."

All of them have been said to this point, and Wood and Langke will be unable to say anything if they don’t know about it anymore: “Biofuel!”

Biofuels are a new concept proposed in the past decade, which is to use grain to convert it into fuels such as ethanol through industrial means as a replacement for gasoline and diesel.

This benefit is that it can get rid of the constraints of fossil energy such as petroleum. Especially for Europe, which cannot control the Middle East, biofuels are at least cheap and stable, and are environmentally friendly enough. Therefore, Europe has been exploring and trying to explore this aspect, so that brands such as Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz have launched similar concept cars.

Zhou Ming nodded and said it was biofuel: "Especially when the future wars of the Irank War are in the pressure of high oil prices."

If forced, biofuels will become the inevitable choice in Europe.”

"At this time, we can even help them play environmental protection cards and sell related energy anxiety, such as how long can non-renewable resources such as oil and coal be used worldwide, or the harm caused by fossil fuel pollution. Every time European automobile engines are activated, a tree will fall in the tropical rainforest of South America."

"In addition, there are acid rain and greenhouse effects, etc., and he can do anything that can be done, so he will encourage them to continue to use food to make biofuels."

"At that time, Europe consumes a lot of food to produce biofuels. At this time, we can provoke the danger of food shortage and ultimately achieve the goal of harvesting the world!"

"You must know that food is a more urgent need than oil. As the dominant party in the global bulk food futures trade, Chicago will definitely benefit from this kind of thing, and it will definitely not be less than Pittsburgh. It is even safer than Pittsburgh's risk of transformation failure than Pittsburgh!"

Wood and Langke did not agree at the first time, but each wrinkled the media and thought carefully.

After thinking about it over and over again, Wood spoke. He first agreed with Zhou Ming's follow-up speculation about the Irank War: "But there is a question, how do we determine that Europe will definitely develop biofuels? After all, I know that Europe's wind power, tidal power generation, nuclear power, etc. are all very useful."

Zhou Ming smiled at this: "This is easy to solve. I have contact with Zhou Ming. I will help promote the development of biofuels."

Wood and Lang Ke were both shocked. They thought Zhou Ming would say something about public opinion guidance, but they didn't expect that Zhou Ming would directly develop a partner in Europe.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming has already planned all this, right? From the day when he knew the outbreak of the Irank War?" Wood asked excitedly.

Zhou Ming shrugged at such a question and expressed his disagreement.

Because to be honest, Zhou Ming did not make any arrangements in advance. However, after being warned by Tesman that even if he invested, he might not receive returns. Zhou Ming should think about other ways carefully. After all, with the contractual spirit of Ansa people, it would be better to shake his head.

Originally, Zhou Ming's first idea was to go through real estate. After all, the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 was impressive, but then Zhou Ming thought of another food crisis under the subprime mortgage crisis. He also thought about the ending of the Great Lakes. Pittsburgh and Miron did get too much. Chicago must have an objection, which is not good.

So Zhou Ming borrowed the food crisis and pulled Chicago into another chariot.

Lang Ke even said excitedly: "Wallace and I have a good relationship, so I can come forward to contact us!"

Lang Ke's excitement seemed to be building this alliance network immediately.

However, Zhou Ming said that this is a long-term job, and negotiations with families like Wallace can be taken slowly: "After all, the Chicago Futures Exchange is in our hands, and this is the biggest capital!"

Wood and Langke both nodded to show their understanding and promised that they would do it well.

"So you don't blame me now, right?" Zhou Ming asked deliberately.

Wood and Lang Ke first smiled embarrassedly, and then firmly expressed that they had always trusted Zhou Ming the most, and they completely forgot what happened to the dinner today.
